A/N– So where is where the plot of this book truly begins.

The comic Sasuke and Naruto were reading is also an anime called Parasite. It's very dark and very violent, not appropriate for kids. The manga's worse than the anime, I would recommend no one under 18 years old reads it.

White Lies

Chapter Two

Two Months

XxXxXxX

Naruto felt the sun trying to burn its way through his eyelids… Sasuke forgot to close the blinds again before bed. With a great sigh that was probably unnecessary the blond opened his eyes and rolled onto his back. His arm came in contact with something warm, he smiled and glanced over at the still sleeping Uchiha. They have been spending the night together for the last two months. Ever since their bond mates started pulling dirty tricks to get them out of the apartment together.

Both boys had kept everything innocent, at first it was because Sasuke was being respectful of Naruto's boundaries and was waiting until he was ready. Soon after that conversation Kyuubi had sat them down and explained that becoming more involved could trigger the bond early, so now both boys were ready, really ready, but were being held back.

Naruto stared at his boyfriend with a look similar to a starving man having a steak dangled in front of him. After a few moments he shook his head and looked away. Swinging his feet around and off the bed Naruto stood up and went to take a shower. Sasuke was a heavy sleeper, he probably wouldn't wake for another couple of hours. During that time Naruto would be writing in one of his old notebooks.

Book #12 was scrawled across the front of this note book. Naruto let his fingers glide over the already worn cover. He remember when he was still on book #10, it felt like a life time ago. All the memories from before he opened the door were slightly detached, like he was watching a movie of himself. Thinking back on certain moments made emotions well up in him that he wasn't capable of feeling when the event was occurring… it was strange.

Book #10 held a special place in Naruto's heart. Even if he was not a whole person when he wrote in that note book it didn't matter, it was what he wrote in the book that mattered. It was what brought him Kyuubi, then brought Karasu to Kyuubi and eventually brought Sasuke to Naruto. Book #12 will hold a similar place in in the heart of Naruto and Sasuke, it was the notebook that he was using to plan their bond so it would go safely and flawlessly. They decided the form a more formal bond then just one through sex… though that one would happen too.

Naruto took out his latest victim, this little yellow pencil was on its last leg. Sasuke liked to make fun of the blond, he would say that what he did to the pencils was torture, much like waiting too long to put a pet down. Many times he brought Naruto a mechanical pencil but the blond insisted that the regular wood ones were a part of his process. Naruto smirked at his own thoughts as he sat at the desk in the bedroom and started to write.

An hour later the blond was still writing with a serious look on his face. He was close to the end and he could feel it.

"Are you working again?"

Naruto looked over his shoulder at a groggy Sasuke who was laying on his stomach with one arm hanging off the bed. He was undeniably cute. Naruto loved that he was the only one who got to see groggy Sasuke.

"Yes I'm working again, I'm close."

Those words had Sasuke sitting up, "How close?" he leaned forward.

"I might be able to start prepping this afternoon and we can try in the evening." Naruto's blue eyes shined with the thought of completing his work, of completing his bond.

"wow…" Sasuke breathed, he could feel his hear heart beat speeding up. Just the thought of finally being bonded to his blond was making his body warm all over. Naruto noticed the slight pink on Sasuke's cheeks and slowly smiled, his eye sight became blurry behind a sheen of tears.

Sasuke reached out and flicked the tan forehead, "Don't cry dobe."

Naruto shot him a mock glare with no anger behind it. Then he turned back to his notebook and continued scribbling away. Sasuke leaned back on the bed, put his arms behind his head and smiled. Things were looking better every day, he honestly couldn't remember the last time he felt like this. After the bond was complete he and Naruto would go square away the Itachi issue and then settle down. Sasuke smirked, Naruto would eventually become Hokage and Sasuke imagined being a trophy boyfriend or something like that… he put his hands over his mouth to keep the snort in and ended up making a strangled choking sound. Not that Sasuke would ever let himself go like that, he would continue being a Shinobi.

Naruto glanced over his shoulder at his boyfriend and shook his head… didn't even want to know.

The pale olive green fabric slid up her arms and settled over her shoulders like it did every day. Her hair was done the same way and she was slipping on the same sandals. Today was going to be a normal day, with a normal meeting.

Tsunade had to keep herself calm and go into this with dignity.

She would be leaving for the Cloud momentarily, she would arrive this evening.

Cat like iris's trembled as they adjusted to the dim morning light. Something had startled Kyuubi awake. He slowly sat up trying not to wake his bedmate. The room was quiet, they were the only ones in the apartment according to sound and scent.

Then a Jolt of enthusiastic joy and revelation shot through his mind and heart. A warm feeling settled in his chest and he realized he was woken by Naruto. His Bond mate was feeling something very strongly, it seems like the blond boy has figured out how to complete the bond. Kyuubi let a slow smirk slide onto his face, tonight would be interesting. The smirk slid off and a deep frown formed, he really hoped his Kit would forgive him when he learned the truth.

Even in his sleep Karasu seemed to sense his loves distress, he rolled over and put his dark haired head into the foxes lap. The small sigh that slipped out of the Raven seemed to calm Kyuubi's nerves. He reached down and ran his fingers through the feathery hair.

Naruto looked down at the arrays and scribbled notes on the pages of his notebook. To him it was a collection of information organized in a manner that tells a story and gives instruction, it will lead those who understand to their goal. The very few people who have seen his notebooks who didn't understand the information had told him that the pages were strangely beautiful. An amalgamation shapes and pattern that together become astatically pleasing and lead the eye around in a pleasing manner.

Never being able to separate his mind from the information caused Naruto to miss the beauty other people saw, or maybe it was the missing part of his soul. Something has changed, looking down at the paper now caused a burning in his chest and behind his eyes.

Naruto reached up to catch his tears before they fell and ruined the magnificent creation on the desk. His creation that would tie him to his love forever.

Kyuubi started awake, he wasn't sure when he had fallen back to sleep. Karasu was now sleeping with his head on the fox's chest. The raven could sleep through the end of the world. Kyuubi snorted.

*CRASH*

Kyuubi shot up knocking Karasu off his chest and sending him flopping to the bed. Someone was in the main room.

Karasu snored a bit.

Kyuubi crept from the bed with all the grace and stealth of the ancient demon he was. He slunk across the floor making no noise. When he reached the door he could hear more consistent shuffling and scraping sounds. Kyuubi reached out for the door knob, he mentally prayed they hadn't decided to come for him and Karasu today of all days.

Steeling his resolve Kyuubi pushed the door open and jumped out ready for anything. He almost tripped over his feet when Naruto paused while dragging the couch to look up.

"What are you doing?!" Kyuubi bit out a bit more harshly then he meant.

Naruto let go of the couch, "Sorry if I woke you, I blocked our connection so you could sleep."

Kyuubi sighed, it wasn't the Kits fault he was just trying to be considerate. He wiped his hand down his face as the tension left his body. There was still time, he could finish the bond and then Naruto would know the truth. He felt his eyes become glassy, this might be the last time Naruto spoke to him…

"Just keep it down…" Kyuubi mumbled as he quickly turned to hide his wet eyes and retreated to the bedroom.

Naruto felt the pressure of tears behind his eyes at being dismissed but clamped down on the feeling. He nodded to the Fox's back. Heaving a sigh he went back to preparing for the Bond Ceremony. Soon he would know what was bothering his demon.

Tsunade stood alone in front of the gate to the village. There seemed to be something final about this last step she was going to take out of Konoha. She tried to shake that feeling from her mind. She couldn't let her mind runaway with her when she needed to be strong. The feeling of eyes on her back almost broke the resolve she had just collected. She knew who it was without looking, it was like a physical blow that he would stand behind her once more just as the end was drawing near.

Tsunade didn't turn to look a Jiraiya, he didn't deserve the reassurance or comfort of meeting her eyes. He didn't deserve being acknowledged.

The pain was sharp, it felt present for the first time. Through the whole ordeal it had always seemed like it was just about to hit or had faded long ago, but at this moment the pain was very much now… this was truly the end.

Tsunade took the step out of the village and into the next great adventure.

AN- I know, it's not as long as the others. BUT, the next chapter is a lot of things happening and I need to carefully lay it out. It will also probably be long. I will try and update next week but I am going back to my home state for the holidays and might not have time to finish it.
