Chapter Four

Naruto sat at the kitchen table, he didn't know what to say to his new found family. They noticed his discomfort, and started the conversation.

"So how is Minato?" His mother asked, Naruto smiled sadly.

Naruto bit his lip, he didn't know what happened between his mother and father for them to separate, they never talked about it, "He died, about 10 days ago. He was undercover and got caught."

Kushina, Naruto's mother, frowned, "oh my gosh, that's so sad!" tears welled up in her eyes, she still loved her husband.

"Mom, what happened between you and father? He never got a chance to tell me."

Kushina looked away, "Minato's family did not approve of our relationship, he was able to send Kyuubi and I away. We started a new life, waiting for you two. I could never forgive myself for not being able to take both of my babies, I'm sorry that you had to go through such a hard time." Kushina let the tears fall freely, "He is and always will be the love of my life! Even though I don't know you that well, I do love you, because you are my son, and I will always love you. So if you need anything just ask, okay?"

Naruto smiled at her declaration, "Of course, mom!"

They had a simple family dinner, enjoying each other company. Even though the house wasn't big, it was cozy, and Naruto liked that. He even got to share a room with his brother.

"How old are you Kyuu?" Naruto asked sitting on the bed.

Kyuubi was sitting at the desk surfing on the internet, "I'm 21, I didn't have the heart to leave mom by herself, so I stayed, she doesn't question when I come home late or anything. I do help pay the bills though with my modeling job."

Naruto's eyes got wide, "you're a model? How come I've never seen you before!"

"The company isn't big enough to go global just yet, but we're being bought out by another company. So soon, we will be going global! It'll be amazing, I'll make enough money that mom won't have to have a job anymore." Kyuubi looked away from the screen with a smile.

Naruto smiled, "that's good! I'm actually going to enroll into a school tomorrow, and find a job. Dad did leave me a lot of money, but I do like to support myself."

Kyuubi smiled, "you're too grown up! You need to be a kid! How old are you, you have to be like 12!"

Naruto looked away, Sasuke always like that he looked small for his age, "I'm 18, I'm only three years younger than you."

Kyuubi fell out of his chair, "only three! What the hell?"

Naruto smiled at his crazy older brother. Naruto nodded, "yeah only three years. I do know that I look young for my age, please just don't remind me though. I don't have good memories that come from my looks,"

Kyuubi frowned, "but you're beautiful, you probably would do a whole lot better in modeling than I would! Your going with me tomorrow! I'm going to introduce you to Itachi, and you'll have a job. We'll finish school online for you, don't worry about it. Once you start modeling you won't want to stop!"

Naruto eyes got wider with every word that Kyuubi said, "Are you sure? I won't be in the way?"

Kyuubi smiled, "naw, we always bring visitors in, plus, you're family. Itachi will love you!"

Naruto cringed at the word love, but nodded anyways. He didn't know what to think, he had a family. That loved him unconditionally, and wanted to help him.

-GaaNaru-

Naruto followed Kyuubi into the building where they had met each other. A rather drastic meeting, but a meeting none-the-less. They walked to the elevators, and Kyuubi pushed the button for the top floor.

The doors opened, and there were very few people on this floor, only those close enough to Itachi, or who were worthy enough to be on the same floor. Kyuubi simply walked through the big doors at the end of the hall.

"You know, Kyuubi you're suppose to knock. It's called manners." Itachi stated not even looking up from his paper work.

"Yeah, but if I knocked you wouldn't know it was me, and then wouldn't let me in, cause you let no-one in this office! Plus, I have a surprised for you. A new model! He's perfect."

Itachi didn't even look up, "No! How many times have I told you no new models! At least not until the merge. Then we'll be top company, and then we can hire as many models as you like."

Kyuubi frowned laying across the desk covering up Itachi's paper work, "But Itachi, he's my brother!"

Itachi finally looked at Kyuubi, "Your brother? You found him?"

Itachi looked around the room, until his eyes landed a tan skinned, blonde hair beauty. Something seemed familiar with this blonde. Naruto finally turned around to greet Itachi.

Things seemed to go in slow motion, Naruto's eye widen a fraction, "Uchiha!" Naruto backed towards the door.

Itachi raced to the blonde, "Naruto!" he embraced the small man, "I'm so sorry!"

Now, that was not what Kyuubi or Naruto were expecting, "Why are you sorry?"

Itachi stepped back from Naruto, "Kyuubi, you remember my brother?"

Kyuubi sneered, "yeah, the little punk should burn in hell for what he did to that poor kid. Brain washing, rape, abuse, man the list goes on and on. I wish I could help that kid, but I never got a good look at his face."

"Kyuubi, you have to understand that I didn't know at that time, but I do now. Naruto was that kid." Kyuubi's vision seemed to shake between Naruto and Itachi, until it was red.

Itachi knew he would need a new desk, but first he had to shield Naruto from the horrific scene.

It was the only flaw that Kyuubi had, his temper was the worst, and dangerous. He didn't even know how to control it. Otherwise he was a giant teddy bear, that wouldn't hurt a fly.

Naruto struggle out of Itachi's grasp, he watched Kyuubi destroy almost everything in the room. Kyuubi looked and acted like a beast. Naruto gently stepped towards him, as he stopped moving. Naruto slowly knelt beside him, a tear fell from Naruto's eyes and landed on Kyuubi's hand.

"Please don't hurt anymore," Naruto mumbled, he looked into Kyuubi's eyes.

Naruto didn't know what to do after that.

Kyuubi decided for him. Snapping out of his anger, he pulled Naruto in a hug. He had a hand on the back of Naruto's head, and one across his back.

"I won't let anyone hurt you, never again will you get hurt." Kyuubi declared as the tears fell from his eyes freely.

After a few minutes, Naruto pulled back from the embrace and smiled at Kyuubi. He kissed him on the nose, which made Kyuubi blush and smile.

Kyuubi looked behind Naruto and saw something he would never see again, "Naruto, look."

Naruto turned around in his brothers lap, "Itachi?"

Itachi had kneeled and pressed his forehead to the ground, "there is nothing I can I do to ask forgiveness of my brother's sin's, but you may have anything you like."

Naruto stood up and pushed Itachi's shoulders up, Naruto smiled at him, "I do not ask for your forgiveness, because I have already forgiven him. I wise man once said, the weak can not forgive, forgiveness is an attribute of the strong. I wish to no longer be weak. Neither should you." Naruto smiled genuinely at him.

Itachi pulled them both up and walked over to Kyuubi and smirked, "I may forgive you for breaking my desk, since good intentions were behind it, but please try not to break it next time." Itachi turned around towards the door, "Plus, you're going to buy me a new one. Why don't we have lunch Naruto."

Naruto smiled, he may be 18, but that didn't stop the innocent look in his face. He ran over to his brother and pulled him to go along on his lunch with Itachi. Naruto really couldn't be more happy. He just wish he could have Gaara over here with him.

-GaaNaru-

*time skip 3 months*

Naruto started his job a model, and he did very well. Kyuubi helped him a little bit, but most of it came naturally to him. He was happy, and he hung out with Kyuubi and Itachi quiet a bit. Naruto was going to his daily tea time with Itachi.

It was filled with talking or silence, but it was something they both did. This time though Naruto was nervous to enter the big wooden doors. Something was off, stifled yelling came from behind the doors. Naruto wanted to help.

Naruto quickly opened the doors smiling and bounced over to the front of Itachi's desk. Ignoring the other man in the room. Who ever it was not important anymore, especially if they were yelling at Itachi.

"Ready for tea, Itachi?" Naruto started, he finally opened his eyes from the smile he had plastered on his face. He noticed the worried look in Itachi's eyes, Itachi was never worried.

"Still a Dobe, talking out of turn." the other occupant said. Naruto stood stiff, old habits die hard, as some say. Naruto stepped back and bowed his head. Even though he forgave him, that didn't mean he didn't fear him.

Naruto could feel the rage build in the room, from which Uchiha he didn't know, what happened next surprised him. Sasuke grabbed his wrist and pulled him from the room Itachi's voice forgotten behind them.

Naruto struggled to get out his grasp, but it was near impossible. Naruto heard Itachi's yells as the door to the elevators closed, they were faint after that, but still there. Sasuke turned away from the blonde and stopped the elevator just a moments after it started. It was in between floors.

"Why are you here?" Naruto asked not thinking.

Sasuke punched him in the face. Naruto ran on instinct then and did his best to get away from the raven, moving to the other side of the elevator proved futile. Sasuke quickly grabbed Naruto's wrists and pinned them above his hand.

A quick burn flashed through Naruto's hands and he screamed bloody murder. Looking to see what cause this pain, he saw a plain knife fully sheath in his hands and the wall. His hand muscles twitched involuntarily at the pain.

Sasuke shredded his shirt with another knife, then along with his pants and boxers. Sasuke said nothing while doing this. Naruto looked in the stone cold eyes, Naruto feared those eyes.

-GaaNaru-

Itachi had called Kyuubi to use the steps to the top floor and then go the elevator doors, Kyuubi questioned him for this weird request.

Itachi said only one name, his brothers name. Kyuubi hung up and ran to said destination. What he saw broke his heart. Itachi sitting beside the doors crying his heart out, he tried to the comfort the man, but his tears only came out stronger when a scream resounded behind the elevator doors.

Kyuubi froze, "Itachi, please tell me that isn't what I think it is?" Itachi only cried, "Itachi please!" Kyuubi begged the man.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Itachi cried pulling his knees tighter, he helpless to stop his younger brother. He was pathetic.

Kyuubi heard another scream from behind the doors, he banged on the doors screaming at Sasuke to stop.

It went unheard by both of the teens, one ignored, one couldn't hear him. Kyuubi fell to his knees after twenty minutes of banging his fists were broke and bloody. The screams had softened but it helped none to the two men a mere 10 ft blocked by only doors.

A few minutes later the elevators moved Kyuubi watched the numbers down two, then they came up. Kyuubi stood impatiently for the doors to open, he didn't know where to look first. He kind of wished he didn't.

Deep cuts marred every inch of his skin, his life force pooling around him at his feet. Naruto's head hung low like he was unconscious, but he wasn't.

"N-Naruto?" Kyuubi started after a long pause, muscles in the hand twitched which made Kyuubi look at the knife holding the small hands against the wall.

Kyuubi made a stepped towards the body to get him down, "Kyuubi stop, we don't have any medical training. We can't touch the knife with out doing more damage. So please don't touch it."

Kyuubi nodded in his understanding, still taking a step towards Naruto. Naruto flinched he wasn't used to gentle touches, Naruto lifted his head, his vision hazy, he only saw red hair, not as bright as he remembered.

"Gaara? Help me," Kyuubi figured that it was someone from Japan that helped out his brother before.

"It's okay Naruto, your safe now. I'm here, I can't take out the knife yet, but it'll come out soon, I promise." Kyuubi felt the burn of tears run down his face.

Kyuubi realized why the boy in the pictures and his brother looked so different, this was a broken soul. Then it made him realize that his brother was that boy everyday, every second.

It broke Kyuubi that he didn't see it sooner.

Itachi got a phone call that the paramedics were down stairs. Kyuubi relayed that his brother was two floors down and lock him up until he could return. Itachi nodded and headed for the stairs fire in his eyes for revenge.

Kyuubi covered Naruto until the paramedics were in the elevator.

They moved slowly as to not freak out Naruto, then one said something that none of them liked.

"We have to removed the knife, and I'm sorry before hand, but it is going to hurt, a lot." Naruto nodded his head in understanding. Naruto looked at Kyuubi in the eyes, Kyuubi smiled for reassurance. Who it was for no one would know.

The paramedic grunted, but no one could hear it over the blood curling scream, the other paramedic caught Naruto, Naruto held out his hands trembling from all the pain he didn't dare try moving them.

Kyuubi watched as they put him on a gurney and roll him quickly to the ambulance, without thinking, he followed them into the big vehicle.

"Are you related?" one paramedic said.

"Brother," Kyuubi replied, he sat in the corner. His eyes locked with Naruto's, never would he let the blonde leave his sight until he knew that, that bastard was locked up.

Naruto smiled and closed his eyes as the heart monitor that he was hooked up to stopped it's rhythmic beeping.
