Burning Passion

Chapter 4

With just a slight squint, the brightness of sunlight was embraced by Naruto's eyes. With a groan he recollected everything that happened last night. He remembered waking up to a slight dip in the bed around 1AM in the morning, when Itachi finally came back to the room. He went to bed right beside him and Naruto was too tired to complain and groggily went back to sleep.

This time when Naruto woke up, Itachi was nowhere to be found. Where did he go? Naruto wondered. Not that he really cared. No. Not at all.

Naruto head turned to the door, when the sound of a light knocks hit his ears. "Come in," he said. The petite maid stepped in with a slight bow. "Itachi requests you come down for breakfast," she says timidly. With a roll of his eyes, Naruto steps out of bed.

To say the silence was unnerving—would be an understatement. It first starts off with, Itachi giving him a thorough look up and down, showing a slight distaste of his choice of apparel for the morning. What? He didn't see the point in changing out of his pajamas. But knowing that he is the only one wearing sleeping attire and everybody else happening to be dressed for the day, kind of makes him feel awkward. Speaking of everyone else, everyone happens to be in the dining room, including Sasuke. Naruto goes over to sit next to him, but before he can even turn in Sasuke's direction, he is commanded by Itachi to sit next to him, with his breakfast plate already waiting beside him. Itachi gets up out of his chair, to pull out Naruto's. Naruto reluctantly says thank you; Itachi responds with a short nod and sits back down.

King A is at the dining table too, considering, they are guests at his palace. He apologizes for his brother not being able to make it, something along the lines of morning fencing practice. The whole breakfast was in silence and Itachi requested to speak to Naruto and Sasuke after breakfast. Naruto was dreading the end of breakfast and despite the silence, breakfast flew by fast.

Itachi shakes King A's hand and says he is welcome to the Uchiha's palace anytime and thanks King A for the great hospitality. Itachi then turns to Naruto and Sasuke. He motions them with his hand to step into the palace's grand hall, with a few chairs lying around. Itachi takes a seat by himself and signals Naruto and Sasuke to do so also.

Itachi starts, "I'll have you two know, that while you guys were running of like children, playing house, some misfortunes have happened."

Sasuke grits his teeth.

Itachi ignorms him and cuts straight to the point, "Father has died,"

The air suddenly becomes too thick to breathe in; Naruto and Sasuke feel as though they were suffocating. Father died? Was the only logical, comprehensible sentence Sasuke could make in his mind.

"The illness has killed him. It is plausible that he might have been poisoned. Nonetheless, because of this sudden event, I will become king and combine the Royal Coronation with the wedding ceremony. I hope you guys understand the inconvenience you have cost not only me, but your people as well. While tragedies are happening around us, both of you decided to run away. It was foolish of you and because of that; you will both be punished accordingly. Sasuke, you will stay here in the Cloud Kingdom for three years, where you will continue your training as prince and second to the crown. And Naruto," Itachi smirks.

"I forbid you to ever see Sasuke again and you will stay in the Senju Kingdom, with your mother, until it is time for you to get married."

Sasuke stands up abruptly, "What?! That's ridiculous! I'll take staying in this pathetic kingdom, preparing for you're stupid expectations, but take away Naruto from me? For three years? That's absurd" Sasuke grabs Naruto possessively, instinctively Naruto leans into the embrace.

Itachi's eyes turn deadly and with a firm voice directed at Sasuke, "let go."

With so much power and authority in his voice, Sasuke reluctantly lets go. Naruto was a little scared. Normally Itachi was very in control of his emotions and even now, he was still keeping it in check better than Sasuke, but it evident that Itachi was upset.

With that, Itachi gracefully gets up, motioning Naruto to follow. But before he leaves the vast hall, he takes a pause in his steps, not turning around completely, "Sasuke, your things will be sent shortly and should arrive in the Cloud Kingdom within a week or two," and leaves, with Naruto following suit.

The carriage ride to the Uchiha ship was slow and boring. Itachi was looking over papers the whole time, completely ignoring Naruto, while Naruto was staring out the window of the carriage, silently saying goodbye to freedom.

When the carriage comes to a sudden stop, Itachi and Naruto are the last to board the ship and are lead to stay in the most luxurious room, even though the ship ride is only twelve hours tops. But Itachi, being the king of one of the most powerful and wealthiest kingdoms could get whatever he wants. And it is pretty much obvious Itachi is king now, despite not having the Royal Coronation yet. No words needed to be said from anybody for confirmation.

Itachi leads the way to the room for Naruto. He shuts the door behind him. He closes his eyes for thirty seconds, his subtle way of signaling tiredness and climbs into bed. Hopefully the rockings of the ship will slowly lull him sleep and help him ignore the lust rising inside of him. He always seems to get aroused when he is stressed.

Naruto crosses his hands over his chest, huffing, "How am I going to sleep,"

Itachi looks up at Naruto from lying in the bed, "Like how you slept last night,"

Naruto slightly blushes, remembering Itachi going into bed with him last night. With quick speed and strength that Naruto never knew Itachi had, Itachi grabs Naruto's arm and pulls him into bed underneath him and starts lightly kissing Naruto's neck. So, much for ignoring, Itachi thinks to himself. Naruto starts to struggle, "Woah, stop!" At this, Itachi feels slightly upset inside that his future spouse was denying him. Itachi ignores Naruto's struggles and grabs Naruto's hands, putting it over his head. With one hand, Itachi's hand slide down Naruto's torso, only to stop at Naruto's-soon-to-be-erection. He starts to pull at it, rubbing his thumb over slit, smearing pre-cum all over Naruto's dick, to the point that his hand starts to glide up and down easily over Naruto's penis. The slick sound of pre-cum being rubbed on flesh fills the room. Losing all focus, having never experienced this pleasure before, not even by Sasuke, Naruto's lips gasp open slightly. Itachi uses this to his advantage to capture Naruto's mouth, devouring his hot warm cavern. Smacking sounds of lips and saliva could be heard as Itachi begins to pump Naruto faster.

Naruto keeps on moaning, "I-Itachi…" This only drives Itachi more insane, as he alternates between squeezing and jerking Naruto's cock. "ahhh" Naruto moans, thick streams of cum spurts and coats Itachi's hand. Naruto is panting, still on an orgasm high. Itachi puts his hand to Naruto's mouth, "Lick it off Naruto," Naruto, not thinking straight and still dazed, begins to lick and suck on Itachi's fingers, tasting himself until there is nothing to be seen. Itachi, still being turned on by the sight begins to finger fuck Naruto's mouth until his fingers are nice and wet and begins to rub his wet fingers all over Naruto's lips. Naruto, never having felt this good before, passes out.

Normally, Itachi would be upset that he couldn't have his release. Seeing as he is King and has had his fair share of concubines, whose main concern and job was to please him. Itachi, going through tons of ways in his head to explain his earlier behavior gave him a headache. Well, I was upset by the way Sasuke was holding Naruto earlier today...considering he is my fiancee. How wrong could it be to exert a little dominance over MY future-bride anyway. Itachi thought. And besides, it is not like I love him or anything. No, I certainly don't. This is solely for peace and creating more alliances. And with that thought, Itachi slowly drifted to sleep, tired of the day's stresses.

A/N: So Sorry for updating late! I could give you guys a bunch of reasons as to why I haven't updated in a while, like applying for undergraduate schools in Japan and feeling lazy after touring Europe last summer, senioritis (Let's go seniors! Last year in high school!), etc. But I'm pretty sure you guys don't want to hear it. And I know there is little dialect in this chapter, but rest assured it will not be like this every chapter. Also, I only checked over this once, so it is rough and the chapter is short! SORRY! But I just wanted to get this out to prove that I'm still alive! Anyway…ありがとうござました！
