----recap----

"You sounded like an old man, 'Tachi." She sniggered.

Itachi just sighed again.

So much for being considerate.

----end recap----

A/N: Not betaed yet, and hey, I hadn’t write ANYTHING in English for almost 2 years, so if the grammar SUCKS, sue me… Yeah right. Well enjoy I guess…

It’s been a whole week since Sasuke and Naruto’s fight, and that night after the fight, Sasuke had locked himself in his room and Itachi hadn’t spoke to the younger Uchiha since then.

Itachi of course already predicted that, so he took no worries about Sasuke’s sudden gloomy attitude. But he do feel that he was indeed being a rather harsh to his little brother that day, much like the blonde had said to him.

But like he had said to the blonde, it was a necessary.

Instead, he felt guiltier to Naruto because he had used her and planned that before hand too. But the whiskered girl just brushed up his guilt by saying that “It’s fine, and besides I got my revenge without being killed by you.” while gave him her infamous cheeky grin.

Itachi had no retort to that statement.

Naruto was always like that, selfless. And her selflessness was a part of her that he loves so much. And hates so much. Because, someday Naruto will be broken down by her own selflessness.

In the other hand, his younger brother was a very prideful boy, Itachi has realized that a long time ago, but somehow along the way, when he wasn’t looking, that pride inside Sasuke has developed into something else.

It wasn’t big enough, but Itachi manage to catch a glimpse or two of that something and he’ll damned if he let that swallowed up his little brother.

That’s why he need his most precious people too change for their own good.

Onee-chan, daisuki!

Chapter Four: Birds and Smokes

Sasuke eyed the school gate in front of him, rain pouring above him, drenching his whole body like a drowned rat. It seems the weather forecast this morning had been wrong. Although somehow he doubted that an umbrella will keep him dry from a heavy rain like this.

He never thought how nice to be like this, bathing in the heavy rain, while the droplets of water wash away his whole self, disappearing by seeping through the pores of the earth.

The dark haired boy let out a small poignant smile.

If only it was that simple.

He stepped a little closer to the school gate, not caring if the droplets of cold water are still soaking his entire body, but suddenly he stilled and frowned. Was it even matter if he went home? Would his problem solved if he went home? The rational part of Sasuke’s brain of course had already answered that (ir)rational questions since a week ago.

It was only his instinct that persist him to go home.

Home to where his disappointed big brother was.

Sasuke winced at the old, yet still fresh memory.

It had been a whole week since his brother declaration of disappointment toward him, and since that time he hadn’t talked to his big brother either.

He of course had opted to ask forgiveness to his brother at some point, but knowing that his brother will ask first if he already said sorry to the blonde menace or no had made his will disappeared in instant.

There’s no way in hell he’ll ask that thing’s forgiveness.

The thing that already ruined his life by taking away the only brother that he had. Growling, the Uchiha walked his way away slowly from the school gate, wanting to do no more to stay away as far as he can be from his home.

Because he was sure if he went home now, it will bring nothing more than anguish when he saw that annoying thing in his home, chatting happily with his brother like nothing had happened.

It’s better if he went home later.

Walking slowly to the direction of the school gym and wanting to do no more than to take shower and change his wet clothes, a certain odor reached his nostril when he passed the gym warehouse, a smell that he know yet he never knew at the same time.

The warehouse door was closed, it always had been like that, but it was never locked, so Sasuke opened the closed door with confidence that no one beside an Uchiha had, and when the door was opened he saw a group of people who were currently hanging out (which he assumed) in secret in the warehouse.

He recognized them as the school brigands.

“Well, well, what do we have here?” Sasuke asked, and manage to form a superior smirk in those thin lips, even when he looked like a drowned rat.

“Fuck off, Uchiha!” A girl with red shoulder length hair snarled, standing up at the same time.

Sasuke’s smirk grew wider, realizing that this was his chance. “You do know, with that list of yours, all of you could be thrown out from this school if I report this, do you?” The girl bristled at that, wanting to attack the raven before a hand stopped her by tugging her wrist.

“Stop it Tayuya.” The owner of the hand ordered, standing up and eyed him, “What do you want, Uchiha?” A boy with long, white hair and skin even paler than Sasuke asked.

Sasuke eyed the room occupants, the red haired girl with the name of Tayuya growled at him, wrist still being held by the long haired boy while behind them there were another people, an overweight guy who was now eyeing him wearily, a dark skinned man who was now fishing something from his pant’s pocket, and twin boys who were now walking behind the long haired guy.

This is it. This was his big chance.

“I want you to give me some of those.” He pointed to the thing in the long haired boy’s left hand, ignoring the other occupant’s expressions of astound.

His big chance to make Itachi’s attention back at him.

XxXxXxX

Naruto frowned, eyeing the half-eaten ramen bowl in front of her.

It’s been a whole week since she lost her appetite to eat (including her beloved ramen), since her scuffle with Itachi’s little brother to be exact. She sighed, twirling the already cold noodle with her chopstick.

Even though that chibi deserved it, she didn’t like it at all.

It was wrong for her.

Wrong for commenting to Sasuke that Itachi wouldn’t want a bothersome brother like him. Because Naruto know that it was nothing but lies. Itachi, much like Sasuke, adore his little brother, because for Itachi, Sasuke is the best little brother that he had.

If all those stories and praises that she often heard until her ear melted were not enough proof.

Maybe that was another reason why she took Sasuke’s instant dislike to her as a big offence. Because deep down inside her she realized, that she was jealous.

Jealous of Sasuke.

Jealous of him for having Itachi’s attention.

Jealous of him for having a big brother like Itachi.

Jealous of their relationship.

A relationship that she already had and lost at the same time.

XxXxXxX

Sasuke brooded more; mouth was set automatically inhaling the burning nicotine that was dangling in his lips. Even though it was only two days after his acquaintance with the lung poison, he looked like a person who already be friended with it for years.

“What are you doing here, Uchiha?” Someone spoke behind him; the voice was somehow familiar now.

“Smoking.”

The voice owner growled, “And what make you think you can smoke here, pretty boy? Don’t you have a home to go?” Sasuke just snorted. “You!!” She hissed, stomping her way to where Sasuke seat.

“Let him be, Tayuya.” The long, white haired boy spoke, holding Tayuya’s shoulder in a firm grip, holding her back before she manage to leap at the brooding raven.

Tayuya bristled at the boy’s command, “But Kimimaro! This is our hideout! And he aint one of us!” She almost yelled out loud if not for Kimimaro’s narrowed eyes that had reminded her in an instant.

“Hideout? What are you? Five?” Sasuke snorted at Tayuya’s term.

A flying knife that embedded itself to the mattress behind him was not the reply that Sasuke had anticipated. Sasuke eyes widen a bit before it went back into its original size, and he trailed his gaze to the person who threw the pocket knife. Maybe he can blackmail the person to teach him? It can add a wonderful plus in his plan.

“Even if Kimimaro tolerates you Uchiha, it doesn’t mean that all of us share that opinion.” The shoulder length white -almost grayish- haired boy who had been throwing the knife speak up, eyes narrowing dangerously; it was one of the twins, Sasuke believe that Sakon was his name, or was it Ukon? Oh well it’s not that important anyway.

“Hn.” Sasuke just grunted and went back inhaling his now so called friend. The speaker’s eyebrow twitched at the younger Uchiha’s reaction, or lack of in this matter. And the brunette was sure that Sakon or Ukon (or whoever his name was) growled, wanting to attack or at least strangled him, before a voice speak in a tone that held so much authority (only to those defiant of course) stopped him in his track.

“Let him be, Ukon.”

Tayuya, the girl, protested, shouting a train of cussings and whys to the long haired boy, while the questioned person just shrugged, sitting in what Sasuke assumed was his favorite seating place without even sparing a glance to the raven, and slipped a cigarette into his lips.

“But! I don’t want to be mixed with his kind, Kimima-”

“That’s why we should let him be.” He lighted his cigarette, inhaling it like fresh oxygen.

And Sasuke snorted.

XxXxXxX

“I’m home.” The blond called when she opened the door to her house, but nobody answered. She huffed, it seems that Tsunade was still in the hospital, why Jiraiya was probably wondering around somewhere in the town trying to break away from his self proclaimed writer’s block. Luckily she decided to always bring the keys of their apartment whenever she goes.

Those damned nomads.

Changing her shoes into her inside orange slippers, the blonde girl tottered her way to the kitchen, wanting to search and drink something cold, because she was thirsty and the air today was just too goddamned hot for her liking.

And that’s how she found the note that was attached in the fridge with a sexy girl in bikini shaped magnet that the pervert got just recently. She swore that she already threw that goddamn thing into the trashcan! Damn Jiraiya. She snatched the note and read it.

‘Your Mom called again this morning.

- J.’

Naruto cursed.

Her time was running out.

XxXxXxX

Itachi sighed and paused in between his strokes, eyeing the almost finished painting in front of him, it was a beautiful painting of a Sakura tree, but somehow he feel that something was lacking from his painting.

It felt so bland and aloof.

“Something was definitely lacking in this.” He muttered out loud, putting down his brush and his palette. He eyed once again the painting on front of him, and frowned.

He never had an artist block like this, he always managed to paint whatever emotion he want to paint, but this time somehow Itachi didn’t manage to draw some emotions in this certain painting.

It seems that he can’t finish this painting, not before he managed to clear the problem between his little brother and his best friend. It worried him how Sasuke had managed avoided talking to him this past ten days; but of course he won’t help Sasuke to solve his problem this time.

Especially when the problem was something that he had planned beforehand, and it’s not helping when Naruto was suddenly becoming more fidgety these days. At first he assumed that as her still guilt towards his little brother, but when he looked closer he realized that he was wrong. And he already made a mental note to press the blonde about that, the moment he see her tomorrow.

He eyed again the painting in the easel and let out a long sigh, he just hoped that this painting wasn’t the one that he can’t finish.

XxXxXxX

Naruto woke up with a sour mood that morning. The sunrays from behind her opened curtain was the one that had awakened her by blinding her, accompanied with the headache that she suffered because of her sleep last night.

The blonde had her sleep all right, if you considered to be awoken in every twenty to thirty minutes as sleeping.

She sighed, eyeing the digital alarm clock in her drawer, it’s not even ringed yet, and she was rarely awaked before her alarm ringed at least three times in morning. But it hadn’t been like that lately these days, since her mother had increased her amount of constant call to her.

Deciding that she better prepared herself for school instead went back sleeping again (like she can do it at the first place anyway), she padded her way into the bathroom slowly, filling the empty tub with warm water, who knows that maybe a long, aroma therapy warm bath can help her relaxing her mind?

After pouring an amount of Orange aromatic oil to the almost full tub, Naruto dipped her body into the warm water, after of course taking off her pajamas and undies first and tied her waist length blonde hair into a bun so it won’t get wet.

“Ha…” She exhaled slowly. This was indeed heaven, well… if you exclude the pounding headache in her head and her current mounting problems. She sighed.

How sometimes she wished to have someone that she could talk her problems with. Yes she indeed got an uncle an aunt, a very nice one too, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t have their own problems already.

The blonde girl know her aunt’s hectic schedules, and lately she didn’t even saw her come home, which she had presumed that Tsunade had stayed in hospital in case of emergency of her patients, and if she didn’t realized that beforehand, the short, quick massage “Nar’to, can’t get home in few days. Eat others than ramen!” in their massages recorder machine had cleared that.

Jiraiya in the other hand was being gloomy with his self proclaimed writer’s block, well that was the twenty five years, perverted old (Jiraiya always bonked her head if she said the old part out loud) man had stated, but Naruto knew better. Jiraiya was still angsting over his ex, who has broken up with him because she felt that Jiraiya chose his career more than her, but instead of talking or asking more attention to her uncle, she chose to have an affair with her co-worker. It depressed her too see her usually boisterous, perverted uncle became a depressed piece of lump for an unworthy bitch; but, she already made sure that girl had knew a piece of her mind of course.

And there was Itachi, the closest bond that she has in Japan besides her other two family members. The usually aloof man is somewhat had become her best friend and brotherly figure, even though sometimes she wondered to herself was that the right terms to decipher her bond with the older Uchiha.

Itachi had always made sure that he knew whatever problem that bugging her, and quite often helped her, because he said that problems make her become fidgety and more annoying then she usually does. At first, Itachi was the first name that popped in her mind, but the not-so-little-accident with his little brother has wiped that idea, and it seems Itachi was now struggling with his own problem, well, Sasuke’s problems actually.

And Itachi’s name itself brings Naruto into one of her current problem, a pompous mini bastard, known as the chibi Uchiha, who had dubbed her as his sworn enemy because she was (in his mind) stealing his beloved, perfect, and loving beacon of light aka big brother from him.

Talk about being obsessed.

Well, it’s not entirely the chibi’s fault though; he was, in reality grew up by being pampered and compared with Itachi, sometimes by his own families (whatever they realized it or not) or other people in society. “No wonder the little Uchiha lost some screws in process,” She mumbled out loud, but it doesn’t made he can acted like that!

His ‘holier then thou attitude’ really ticked her, and if she put that aside, his obsession toward Itachi is not healthy; she had realize that, even if she was not the brightest crayon in the box. Luckily Itachi knew that too, and wanted to do something for his little brother sanity (no matter how little it remains).

Naruto slid down further and blow water bubbles with her nose.

Since when she worried that much about the person she envies?

Damn smug little bastard.

She hoped that Itachi’s plan will succeed, and that little bastard realized his problem and fixes it, and Naruto will gladly help Itachi to push Sasuke back into the right track.

Maybe with that she can solve at least one of her problem before her time run out, and, it’s a lot better then nothing. With that decision, the whiskered blonde rose from the bathtub, feeling better then before.

If she can’t run from it, it’s better to deal with it.

That’s her way of life.

XxXxXxX

“You see, that’s---” A giggle.

“Yes, yes! I saw that too---” Another giggle.

“And he jump out!!” Laughs and giggles.

Sasuke closed his ears mentally from the annoying giggles and laughter; instead of joining them, he glanced outside the window that was located beside his table, eyeing the students from other class who were running in school yard for their P.E class, while his classmates were currently busy with their own respective activity. Some of them were doing the assignment that they had been told to do (he already finished it), a few other people had chosen to either sleep or eat, but a big portion of students in his class -mainly the females- chose to trade gossips with each other.

It all happened because of the absent of their English teacher, Mitarashi Anko who caught a cold, and as a result of that his class was being rather noisy, much to the stoic Uchiha’s dismay.

Why can’t they just sleep like Shikamaru there? Or eat in the silent like Chouji?

“Hey, did you hear?”

“What?” Oh goodie, now his backseat male classmates chose to gossip too.

“They said that Inari from class C confessed and get rejected.”

“You mean Inari the model?” The information source nodded. “Man, it proves that looks is no longer top priority these days!” The other boy laughed and Sasuke sighed. Maybe he should go to find a save place and smoked instead? Too much hearing lousy gossips like this can bring major brain damage, and made him into a moron like certain blonde or brunettes.

Cigarettes aftereffects are much better then that.

“Nah, he just confessed to the wrong girl.” Okay, this was his cue to go now.

“To whom he confessed to anyway?” Sasuke tapped the pack of cigarette in his pocket, and checked in his other pocket if he already pocketed his lighter or not, and got a positive result. Straightening his body, the younger Uchiha heir rose from his seat slowly.

“You know our high-school female basketball team captain’s?”

“WOAH! You mean THE Uzumaki Naruto?!” Sasuke’s steps froze at the name. “She was much older than him! And with Sasuke’s brother around, Inari is way out of her league, dude! No wonder she rejected him!” Kiba claimed, barking a laugh at the same time, finding it very amusing. “Never knew he had a thing for older women.” He wiped the small buds of tears in his eyes.

“Yeah, but Naruto-senpai is sure hot, ne?” Konohamaru sighed in longing, Kiba followed suit.

“And with what facts you can say that?”

Both Kiba and Konohamaru jumped at the icy voice, and turned their head to encounter a very, very livid face of Uchiha Sasuke. “Holy shit, Sasuke! Don’t scare me like that!” Kiba howled, clutching his chest in surprise. Konohamaru squeaked in agreement, still losing his ability to speak because of the sudden terrifying surprise. Sasuke just glared, demanding his answer.

Kiba frowned, suddenly remembering that Sasuke did not like the basketball captain that much and he do know why. That’s why Kiba choose not to answer, despite what people think about him, he was not THAT stupid.

“Just look at those long legs, Sasuke. And those golden skin.” The now normal Konohamaru answered, almost drooling in the process.

Too bad Konohamaru did not know Sasuke’s abhorrence with the mentioned long legged, golden skinned blonde.

A vein popped in Sasuke’s head, and Kiba who saw this, edged away slowly. “Even if that mentioned dobe is lacking in brain and manner departments?” He hissed icily, Konohamaru raised an eyebrow.

“I heard that she’s still in big forty school rank.” Bet that was Itachi’s doing, the raven snarled mentally. “And she had a lot of friends.” Sasuke growled at that, it was obviously his brother’s influence! Why can’t anybody see that?!

Konohamaru knitted his eyebrows, confused, while Kiba was long way gone from the scene. “What’s with the scorns? Isn’t she’s your brother’s girlfriend? I heard the girls talking about it.”

And Sasuke snapped.

XxXxXxX

“Naruto-kun!”

The mentioned blonde glanced from her doodling, looking at her caller’s direction. “Yep? What is it Rin-chan?” The auburn haired girl smiled at her and pointed to the class door direction.

“Uchiha-san is looking for you.” She grinned, Naruto grinned back in thank you before skipping her way to the door, and finding the mentioned man standing behind the door to her class.

“Self-study?”

Naruto nodded, “Yeah, Mizuki-sensei caught a cold. Dunno why, but it’s been spreading around among the teacher. Maybe it’s a teacher only cold, lucky us eh?” She grinned, Itachi’s lips let out a small upside curl at that. “You?”

“Just finished P.E.”

Naruto let out an ‘I-see’ expression, while her lips formed a small ‘o’ shape, “Need something then?”

The older nodded slightly, voice even, “Actually yes. Do you have time?” Naruto’s brow furrowed, there’s something different in Itachi’s voice tone, his voice tone was indeed generally bland when he talked, but somehow this time it’s different, it was the tone that he usually use when he wanted to interrogate someone, and somehow she got the instinct to avoid her best friend now.

“Uh, now?” Itachi raised one black eyebrow.

“Yes, now.” Inwardly, Naruto started sweating.

“Uh, I can’t, I must-”

“Yo, Naruto, Itachi-san!” Both Itachi and Naruto eyed the person who called Naruto, and they saw a busty blonde girl, whose hair was tied in four ponytails. And she brings something in her hands. Naruto’s eyes widened a bit, before she grinned.

“Now I must help Tem sticking those posters.” Naruto finished, Itachi stared at her, disbelieving was clearly written in his eyes. “Right, Tem?” She blurted out when Temari was closer to them.

“Huh? What?” She asked back, confused.

“The posters.” Naruto dead panned, pointing at the basketball club’s garage sale posters in her hands.

“Oh, yeah, this-”

“See? So I can’t do it now.” She cut her and gave Itachi a lopsided grin, while doing happy dance mentally. Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly before he let out a small sigh.

“After school? At Ichiraku?”

“Can’t do. Home is pretty empty lately.” Itachi raised his eyebrow again, noting the slight distressed tone in her voice, and wasn’t that Naruto is staying with her twenty six year old –doctor- aunt and twenty five years old –writer- uncle? Not to mention she rejected her self proclaimed ‘nectar of god’ which is consist a bowl of noodles and broth with other additional addictive and questionable ingredients which normal people known as ramen.

Now he was positive there’s something that was seriously bothering the blonde.

“I’ll call you when I have the time, ‘k? See ya!” She said while grabbing a bewildered Temari and run.

Itachi’s lips curled down slightly.

He will make sure that he will made ‘the time’ like the blonde had stated come soon enough.

XxXxXxX

The noisy class was silent.

Silent after they heard a very loud slam from the desk which was located in a row behind the front window seat, which was being occupied by a nice, lively, and mischievous brunette. Whereas the mentioned nice, lively, and mischievous brunette was now currently shaking in a shocked state.

Never ever in his whole life experience Konohamaru saw something that was more terrifying than an angry Uchiha Sasuke.

Kiba who already know that fact had fled into the restroom.

“She. Is. Not. His. Girlfriend.” Sasuke spitted those words darkly, glaring dangerously to the now quivering brunette. “Don’t you EVER put their name in a same sentence. You got that?” Konohamaru who was now realizing that his life was in absolute danger just nodded his head, while the whole class watched the dispute in silent, because it’s a very rare occupation that you can see a furious Sasuke.

“Good.” Sasuke nodded and smirked victoriously at that, because he managed to clear the stupid gossips about his brother and that thing, and continued his way out from his class to find a save place to smoke.

Leaving a very silent class behind.

“Wow, I never knew Uchiha had a thing for older women!” A random guy’s comment was the one who broke the silence.

Too bad Sasuke already walked far enough from his class so he didn’t hear the miserable wails of agony from his fangirls who was now concluding that the black haired boy was deeply interested with an older blonde woman who was currently his big brother’s girlfriend.

Because, much to Sasuke’s dismay (and unknowledgeable), gossips my dear, can not gone in an instant.

But it surely can get worse in a second.
