Thank you SO much for the reviews!! I can't believe that I got so many. I hope that those who signed in got the review replies I sent and if you preferred it when I wrote them here please say so and I will do it again, but I thought that the majority of people would prefer a personal reply as, well it's more personal and writing on here takes up a lot of room at the start of the story. I will reply to people who don't log in here still.

GOMEN! I'm sorry for not updating for a long time. Life sucks, period. My Father's left and my violent older brother with an arrogant superiority complex has moved in. I literally HATE him and it's been havoc over here. The worst part is that he now runs the house because, of course, my Mother doesn't care and I am getting yelled at because I oppose him. I now have no secrecy, space or privacy and my solitary time has been reduced, once again, to the shower. I am also looking for a job to leave this depression infused place forever. I don't hate my life; I hate the people around me.

lly - Thank you for saying so. Sorry this chapter is so late. Life completely sucks in ruining any roll I gain with writing.

lonelyreverance - Hehe, thanks. Though the lack of chapters wasn't helped by me, ne. Sorry. I figure that Kakashi would. He is one to bend the rules for a friend, as we know. The others only see Sasuke as a comrade and not a friend, so why not?

anti-sasunaru - Ha. And here I thought that everyone on here was a closet pervert. XD At the least. Still, I suppose that I could give a warning. I mustn't have done, but when I started it, I did say it was heavy Yaoi off the bat. I think that Sasuke doesn't deserve Naruto, myself. Especially in this fic, so I'll see what I can do. But I don't promise that there'll be no more SasuNaru psycho moments.

Alex - I will try and update more often now. Things have started to settle down at my house, so I should be fine for a while. The thing is, with the kits, you can't hate them 'cause of their father; it's like judging Naruto 'cause of Kyuubi. It's not just Naruto and Sasuke, but seven lil' babies growing in there. In the end, biological parenting is just DNA coding, a father is the person who raises you. I can promise Sasuke's pain but not Naruto's freedom...just yet...

NARUTO

Itachi found that waking Naruto up in the morning could be extremely entertaining. He and Naruto were complete opposites when it came to mornings. He could rise on command, though hates the effects of assaulting light and unclear mind. Naruto, however, took a long time in awakening and acted like the haze and shine were a bliss in itself. Since his fascination with rousing the blond, he found mornings more…enjoyable as of late. Learning over the slightly curled form, that was laying on his right side; with one hand either side of the blond head and straddling the top of Naruto's thighs, he quietly spoke.

"Ramen."

Naruto stirred and rolled within the confinements Itachi created, to achieve more of a shuffling effect towards his left, effectively resting on his back with a repetition of the word.

"That's right, Naruto. Do you want some?"

"Mmm…" He affirmed.

"Beg." Itachi demanded of him.

Naruto's eyebrows furrowed. "Nooo." His voice came out as a whine.

"Beg or no ramen, Naruto."

"…Pl-" He cut himself off, licking his lips and going to turn his head.

"Continue, Naruto-kun." Itachi probed, keeping his head forward-facing with fingers grasping his chin lightly.

"P…Please fe-" He licked drying lips again. "Please, feed me." Naruto breathily asked.

Itachi's eyebrow arched at the unwilling and forced words. What dream could the blond be having to spout that? Watching the slight dust of pink on the teen's cheeks, he smirked. This progression he could certainly work with. Pulling down the blond's jaw, he dipped his head to take the lips of the male beneath him. He darted his tongue into the awaiting mouth, fully intent on coaxing a battling or submissive reaction from the other tongue involved.

He was not ready for the treatment he received, though. As soon as the appendix entered the warm orifice, the full lips had taken to closing around and sucking upon it. The pressure, wetness and sensations shot through Itachi while Naruto displayed a pleasurable expression on his face, only millimetres from his own. What he instigated was turning upon him as he found the whole experience rather…arousing. To make matters worse, Naruto shuffled, rubbing against something best left alone at this point.

The dark-eyed man made to move away, bringing Naruto several centimetres along with him because of his reluctance to let go. Itachi fought against attacking the smaller man's willing mouth when a tanned leg was made to move with the effort exceeded to keep together both mouths. As Naruto rolled, now onto his left side, happily, the Uchiha hissed slightly at the brushing pressure and glared at the unknowing blond.

"Mmm. Itachi flavoured." Naruto mumbled, drowsily.

Glare swiped from his eyes with a disbelief of the content and completely arousing symbolism of the statement, Itachi froze. For the first time in a while, his cock was hard and pushing against Naruto's thigh. If he were less of a dignified man, he would rub alongside the presented limb to completion or wake his companion to finish the job he had unintentionally started.

Leaning down, he hovered above the blond's pulse, breathing hotly onto the exposed skin there before abruptly tearing himself away and off the blond to the shower. He knew better than to will the problem away, as it would most probably creep up later; yet, he refused to indulge within such dangerous parameters, despite his disturbing urge to return to the Jinchuuriki and masturbate until his come littered that beautiful body; marking him.

Stepping into the shower, Itachi turned the temperature to a lower degree and forcefully concentrated on ignoring any and all sexual orientated thoughts and problems that he became plagued with. A knock sounded on the door and Itachi came close to cursing as the source of his problem creaked the wooden entrance ajar to allow the flow of his voice to enter.

"Itachi, I'm making toffee and banana pancakes. Do you want some?" He yawned.

"Have you any cereal?" Itachi's calm tone was easy to achieve, despite the need to drag the blond before him and shove his cock in the mouth he'd earlier invaded.

"Um…yeah, I should have. A bit sweet for breakfast, huh?" Naruto asked, referring to his own choice in relation.

"Quite."

"Don't take too long, okay? 'Cause I need a shower, too."

"Aa."

"Hey Itachi?" Said man resisted growling and instead made a non-committal sound of acknowledgement to the calling. "Just, thanks."

Naruto's soft voice hit Itachi with sincerity. Even if he were not motionless with the unaccustomed gratification in the tone, he couldn't have spoken back toward Naruto because of his quick departure. Within the isolation of the shower cubical a now foreign and distant softness crept through the black dominance of the Uchiha's eyes. The stun of words rarely spilt towards him during the entirely of his life, being given so willingly from the blond once again, and for no reason, became taken over with his own positive feeling towards them. The corner of his lip twitched in the sudden urge to smile in appreciation, and dare he say a tinge of happiness?

As Itachi's stability in life and future plans were diminishing, once again through a fault of his own contribution, he was being offered the only life he'd wanted as a child; and by the one person he had to sentence to death in order to keep the predictable and semi-stable future he me may still currently hold. Family. Acceptance. Appreciation. Understanding. Even caring had been granted to the older Uchiha by his prey. Yet, even if he wanted to abandon everything for the foolishly childish dreams of his past, he was still hindered by the very village the proposition lay in. What village would re-accept a murderer of it's own citizens?

Absently, Itachi turned off the shower, inwardly demeaning himself for such useless thoughts. At least, he mused, the excessive thinking had worked away his problem. With sadistic thoughts of revenge in mind, the Uchiha quickly dried and donned only a pair of his host's dark boxers and the towel he'd used, resting upon his shoulders, to join the blond Jinchuuriki in his morning meal. He wasn't disappointed with the reddened skin and chocking on pancakes.

"The shower is free, Naruto-kun. Though I may be forced to join you if I somehow happen to have an accident with my own food." He proposed with such a straight face that Naruto's predicament only worsened; forcing the blush further along his skin. "After all, I can't put forth a bad impression to out fellow ninja and your unfaithful ex-boyfriend, can I?"

"Tch, like that matters." Naruto's mood turned sour.

"On the contrary, both yours and my honour depends upon this appearance. Should either of us falter in our act or appearance, doubt would be given to the sincerity of our relationship, which would in turn put suspicion upon myself. You, however, would lose pride if I were not shown as an improvement to your former lover and brandished as your indifference and conquer over his infidelity."

With a slacked jaw, Naruto asked, "How did you come up with that?"

"Are you insinuating something about my intelligence, Naruto-kun?"

"No! No. It's just…well, a sociable thing, is all."

"Aa. My Father told my Mother this on their wedding day after his separation with my biological Mother. I have never forgotten it."

"Eh?! B-But you're an Uchiha! Isn't that, like, illegal or something?"

"Iie. A weak Uchiha is unacceptable. My birth Mother was banished from the clan for her actions. Sexual frustrations, like anger and fear, were forbidden and frowned upon; suppressed by desire for control and power. Father and Mother were forced into marriage. She justified her affair with a description of love, making Father turn to her younger cousin. It is ironic that it was Father's faithful wife that concealed an infidel child."

"Wait…you're saying that you and Sasuke have different Mothers?!"

"Aa, but…I am revealing too much of myself of myself, now, aren't I?"

"Eh! You can't tell me that and then recluse on me!"

"And yet you offer up no information upon yourself. Isn't that a little selfish, Naruto-kun?"

"But, b-but I have nothing to tell. That isn't fair!"

Itachi's eyes widened slightly. "Have you not yet been told of your heritage?"

"Heritage? No…I suppose they were just village folk, you know. I got tired of asking when I was younger. They'd say something about monsters not having parents and spawning from evil. Didn't understand it back then, though. I guess I just lost interest." Naruto shrugged, chewing on his meal once again, but with less vigour than previously. "Why?" Naruto hesitated. "Did you…know them or something. Were, were they good people?"

Staring at each other for a while, Itachi lowered his eyes to his own acquired cereal. "You should ask your Hokage."

"…Oh…So they were bad people then, huh…"

"…On the contrary…Your Father was a well known man and one of the most powerful Shinobi to ever walk this planet. I heard your Father had a spirit rivalling your own, where as your Mother had an emotionally fragile heart that betrayed her in the end, though many refuse to even believe that your Mother existed."

"H-How do you know…? When no one would ever tell me, how do you know!" Naruto yelled his frustrations to the older Uchiha, as if the blame needed his direction.

"It's not my fault that this village is driven by blind hatred and fear in the unknown."

Naruto sighed shakily at the Uchiha's calm words, head bowed to the food under it. "I know…It's just after so long…I even asked Ero-sennin once and he just gave me this sad and pitiful look before saying that he didn't know. But he does…doesn't he?"

"Aa." A silence fell over the two with the affirmative answer.

"Tch. Whatever. I'm going for a shower." Naruto stood, leaving behind two pancakes, one of which only half eaten.

Itachi watched the retreating blond before depositing the used culinary equipment in the sink and moving to adorn his new Yukata. In truth, there was one thing he wanted the blond to verify. The words his best friend told on the day of his death, he'd refused to believe for so long. He could understand the temptation, hatred, pressure and even the whispered encouragement from the Uchiha's tainted chakra. He couldn't however, understand how if affected kind-hearted Shisui.

On that day he'd blamed Shisui's death partly on their clan and the blood running through their veins forcing the act out of him; of both of them. Also, that day, he'd come close to slaughtering the blond innocently showering in the other room. Sasuke had inadvertently and unknowingly saved the blond from a premature death back then. Even now, the need to physically force and demand from the blond the events of that night, so long ago, remained.

Yet, if what Shisui said was true, the Jinchuuriki deserved no such actions upon him. After all, what could a weak, malnourished eight year old force three battle-ready Chuunins to do?
