Okay :) so I'm back from Vacation which btw sucked majorly.
Sorry I've been gone so long. My kitten is probably madder and she is really taking it out on me :(
On the story! No I don't own it cuz again, it would never be posted on time… and there would be so many errors in it…

Recap: "The pair didn't notice a set of green eyes spying on them in the doorway.
The kettle started whistling and Itachi glided over and removed it from the heat pouring it into the small ceramic tea cups. Setting the cups on the board, the raven carried it over to the dining table and waited for the blonde to follow his lead.
'Okay Naruto, just think of kittens. It always works.' After taking a deep breath, Naruto settled everything and followed his new interest to join in eating."
-_-_-_-_-
'Dear Kami! Naruto's GAY! I mean… it makes sense… Every girl he really loved cheated on him… with Sasuke. I guess this is his way of getting back at him. Ugh. This is so confusing!'
'Confusing?! This is damn sexy! I can already see those two going at it!'
'I thought I got rid of you Inner' the pinkette thought flatly.
'Yeah, well, you know. I just tend to appear when things start to get spicey' Inner Sakura thought mischievously.
'We can't intrude on their relationship. It's not right and if it makes him happy I guess I'll accept that.'
'Have I taught you NOTHING? Hell! We didn't go out here, become S rank criminals, spill our heart out to him, and then just accept that he's happy with someone else!'
'But if I love him then that means I'm happy if he's happy… even though I'm hurting.'
'Che. Follow my lead and we'll be happy too; especially between tall-dark-and-handsome and bright eyes.'
Itachi started leaving the kitchen with his food and Sakura quickly escaped to create a plan.
Itachi sat down that the king-like table and smirked. He had the blonde right where he wanted him. 'It feels so weird to be attracted to this boy but it seems so right. As much as it weirds me out I really only think this only works with him. I can accept that but I doubt that kunoichi will.'
Just then Naruto walked into the dining area and sat next to Itachi with an idea in mind. Naruto first reached for a slice of apple with a slightly shaking hand and munched on the crisp fruit. Next he took his tea cup in hand and blew on it making sure it was cool not to burn his tongue and then sipped. A small dribble of tea made its way down his lip to his chin and the blonde licked it up innocently.
The raven licked his lower lip before bringing a slice of strawberry to his mouth. 'This is killing me! I want to taste him and that tongue should be mine.'
As Naruto's hand made its way to put the tea cup down, Itachi glanced in his direction making the blonde's breathing hitch.
'It's now our never I guess.' Naruto thought. His hand still trembling, Naruto reached to place the cup on the cutting board but hit the side knocking the cup out of his hand. Hot tea sloshed from the cup onto the ebony haired nin slightly scalding his lap. Both nins' eyes widened one in pain and the other in shock. Naruto rushed for a towel in the kitchen and started to clean the Uchiha's lap. Itachi's face went back to its usual façade and his blonde continued to clean the mess while feeling around.
'Kami he's huge! Sasuke was always smaller than me but Kami it'll never fit in anyone!' Not once through his exploration of the below did Itachi twitch. Not once had he stopped Naruto either. Technically the blonde was cleaning him up but a part of him wanted to grope the older male as well. Of course years of restraint kept him from doing so.
"I'm so sorry 'Tachi! I guess I'm just so tired I didn't realize what I was doing."
"Hn. Finishing eating first."
And on command, Naruto nodded and they started eating in silence as before. Itachi glanced over at the blonde noting a slight pout on his face. He'd stopped eating but continued to pout and looking at…
"Here." Itachi brought his tea up to Naruto's mouth. "Drink."
"B-but I'll spill it again." The blonde spoke slightly ashamed.
Instead of speaking, the raven just placed the cup to his blonde's pink lips and slightly tipping for the liquid to flow out. Naruto sipped the now warm tea and shyly nodded in thanks to Itachi.
They finished their food and Itachi guided Naruto toward the elevator.
"What about the dishes? We should clean them before we leave."
"Hn. Maid."
"Wow. You guys actually trust someone in here to be your maid? I thought this was a top secret base?"
"Hn."
What Naruto forgot was that even though there was no actual maid in the base, Sakura still occupied the third floor and Itachi had a feeling of her cleanliness. He was certain she wouldn't be able to stand the mess so he just kept walking.
The elevator opened a few moments after hitting the down button and once inside Itachi hit -5 and -7. They arrived at their destination shortly and the raven stepped out.
"If you need me I'm on negative five. Make sure I recognize you." And with that the elevator doors closed leaving the blonde to his self.
Naruto quickly made his way toward the bed while stripping off his clothes down to only his boxers. Sliding under the covers, azure eyes find themselves look at the ceiling and thinking about his past. The past days of no sleep caught up instantly the moment he blinked and his eyes refused to open.
DREAM WORKS ;)
'Here again I guess.' In front of the blonde was a table for two with a dark red table cloth. No one sat in front of him but two glasses were out and a very expensive bottle of wine sat unopened in the ice bucket.
"Sir, would you care to order? Or would you like to use our phone?" the penguin waiter with the caterpillar mustache asked.
"Eh, just bring me the check, I'll be leaving soon."
"Of course sir." And the waiter left the blonde customer at his table.
The bill arrived costing seventy dollars for the special engraved wine bottle. After signing the blonde reached out and grabbed his full bottle of wine.
'May not be the most classy action but hell I paid for it.'
And with that he walked out the doors with a good drink in his hand and the intention of finding her. Naruto walked straight towards the hospital only slightly drooling when he passed all the restaurants. Luckily Icharuka was on the other side of town and he wouldn't have to deal with forcing himself away.
'Sakura said it better not be at Icharuka.' The blonde thought pensively. 'I did everything right too. I went to a normal restaurant, got the most expensive wine that I could buy, have it engraved with the date for our anniversary, and I didn't forget the ring!'
Still in thought, the blonde entered the hospital and just stopped at the desk. Immediately the secretary told him to follow her and showed him the way.
"She's in this room but she's busy at the moment. I'm sure if you just wait she'll be out soon enough." The young chipper nurse advised and so he did.
About ten minutes had passed and even though the walls were very sound protective, nothing would've stopped the scream of pleasure he knew all too well. They both knew that they didn't have a life expectancy for too long and since he waited so long for Hinata, this time it would be different. But he never knew how different this would be.
He continued to sit knowingly and pondering. The door opened about a good ten minutes late with the one he hated the most stepping out. A smirk formed the moment he saw Naruto and continued down the hallway. Two minutes passed and Sakura came out. She saw those solemn b]ue eyes and a face of slight disgust.
Naruto looked down, never said a word, walked to her, and handed her a small dark blue velvet box. He left her in tears and as soon as he left the hospital his own started to fall.
Naruto got home and went to the kitchen to get some water and for once, no more sake. He looked at the calendar that was on the fridge and saw the big red circle. 4/17. The day he was supposed to be engaged. The day he was broken again. The day he cursed all women to hell and will always be alone.
That last thought woke Naruto with a start as his nightmare reoccurred. Most dreams were fuzzy but this one seemed to happen so often and so vivid that he never got used to it. Never.
Looking at the clock on the ceiling, which one would never notice unless lying down, 4:17 showed clear enough to the blonde's sleepy eyes.
"Fuck my life. Seriously." And with that comment, Naruto got up and went to the elevator because sleeping alone is not an option. Pushing a button on the key pad, the elevator rose and stopped at the destination.
The blonde nervously stepped out and stopped close to the nonmoving figure.
"Um… 'Tachi-kun, can I sleep here tonight? ...W-with you?" 'Damn it stutter!!!!'
"Hn."
The cerulean eyed nin didn't know whether that was a yes or a no and continued to stand at the end of the bed. Itachi cracked his eyes open and saw that the blonde hadn't moved so he flipped the covers up on the empty side of the bed. Naruto got the message and climbed into bed, forgetting all his troubles as new ones began.
Konoha! =O (don't you hate me :) )
'I don't think I've seen her act this bad. Not even when Sakura was isolated it wasn't this bad. She always works, never once has she smiled, she hasn't broken a desk once, she hasn't touched sake since she left, and I haven't seen her not cry at night. I wish she would see that she's not alone. I'm the only one she has left. She and I both know that she couldn't keep her here, but she never had time to fix things. Never had time to heal. Why won't she take comfort from me?'
A small tear escaped the brunette assistant as she watched her mentor cry helplessly at her desk.

HOKAY! So that's chapter..? nine? Idk. But w.e. sorry for the cliffy but you know, that's just how I roll ;]
Please review!
its's always nice, even if you think it should be criticized, it's all accepted… only if you give an example. Cuz, "you suck" seriously does nothing for anyone. But "you suck cuz this part is too much detail and its boring as hell." Now that works for me :) yes, I'm weird
BTW! I'm going to post up a new story soon ^.^() and I'd really like it if you'd all check it out :) the first one up will be kinda like they are all goin to college and I'm gonna try to do like… everyday events and kinda like… randomness that goes on. (i.e. hook ups, parties, what not) and its just about getting through college life in one piece with your sanity ;)
Also! Please VOTE! ON MY POLE! If you don't want to then PM me about it. I just need to know when I start my story about Neji and another person, if the person should be an OC or someone from Naruto
Gomen for the long-ness but oh well =]
