Itachi crossed his arms as he stared at Madara. “You expect me to work with Sai after he's done nothing but hurt Naruto?” He held Naruto's hand to keep the boy from giving in his to flight response to Sai's presence.
Madara frowned as he glanced at the men standing behind Itachi, but sighed. “Yes, Itachi. Sai has been working on an infiltration mission and I need someone I trust to work with him to pass information. If they suspect him they won't let him get the information I need.”
Sai smirked, “If it bothers you that much, I'll just promise not to touch your little boy toy.” He chuckled, “Then again, maybe I could convince you to share him.”
Itachi growled, but otherwise said nothing. He turned his attention back to Madara. “Naruto is out of this. That was my agreement. I will not have him in your world.”
Madara shrugged. “I've rethought my stance on that.” He held up a hand to stall Itachi's argument. “I want him to work the floor. Take drink orders, bus tables, that sort of thing. I won't get him into anything illegal.”
Itachi growled. “What if I say no?”
Madara smirked. “I can make problems for his friends and family. I have people who can make accidents happen for his dads. I can take down his friends, starting with the Hyuugas.” He shrugged. “I prefer not to go that route.”
Itachi sighed. “Fine, he can wait tables two nights a week. That's it. He has school and that comes first. If this work even remotely looks like it's threatening his scholarships he's out.”
Madara nodded and stood. “I can agree with that. Someone wants to talk to Naruto before you go.” He waved Haku back into the room from where he'd disappeared to after Itachi and Naruto had come back.
Haku smiled sadly at Naruto. “Hello, Naruto.”
Naruto's brow crinkled as he turned to face Haku, anger seeping into his face. “What about Hinata?”
Haku shrugged. “I broke up with her a couple days ago. I couldn't keep living a double life and cheating on her with Madara. I know he's not a good man, but he makes me happy and we're trying this.”
Naruto bit his lip. “I guess thank you for breaking up with her then.” He sighed. “I'm not happy with you, but I'm more concerned about her. I'll be angry with you later.” He turned to Itachi, “Can we swing by Hinata's on the way home? I just want to check on her. It's not like her not to reach out to me when she's having a problem.”
Itachi nodded. “We're leaving. We'll be here Friday.” He looked at Madara before glancing significantly at Sai. “You will leave us completely alone until then.”
*************
Hinata smiled through her tears at Naruto. “I know it's silly, but I didn't want to trouble you with my problems.”
Naruto shook his head and smiled at his friend. “I hope you know that it's never ever a problem for me. Itachi knows you're like a sister to me as much as Sasuke is like a brother to me.”
Itachi nodded and kissed Naruto's head. “I'm going to head back to your place, Naruto. Give me a call when you're ready to come home. Spend whatever time you need here.”
Naruto cast a thankful smile to his boyfriend. “Thank you, 'Tachi.” He turned back to face Hinata and Neji, who had been over with his cousin. “Tell me the truth then. How are you holding up?”
Hinata gave him a watery smile. “I'm hurt, but not as much as I expected. I think I knew something was wrong with our relationship.” She shrugged. “He's been skipping out on our normal dates more often.”
Neji growled, but shook his head and sighed. “I really want to track him down and castrate the little bastard.” Hinata reached a hand out and touched Neji's shoulder. “Hinata doesn't want that though, so I guess I'll have to settle for inventive ways to kill him in my mind.”
Naruto muttered under his breath. When Neji and Hinata both looked at him, not having caught what he said, he sighed. “Sorry, I just,” he pouted. “I know a bit more and I just don't know how much to tell you. I found out not that long ago.”
Hinata sighed and looked at the ceiling. Naruto frowned as he looked at her. She looked as though her pain was just barely under control. Neji stood up. “I'll make us some tea. Naruto, can you help?” Naruto nodded and kissed Hinata's temple before standing and following Neji to the kitchen. Neji put the kettle on and started grabbing the cups and dropped the tea bags into them. “What did you learn?”
Naruto frowned, debating how much to tell Neji. “You remember Itachi's Uncle we met at the club?” When Neji nodded, he sighed. “He's not a good man. You remember how he hits on anything with a pulse?” When Neji nodded again, his eyes narrowed. “Haku's apparently been fucking him for a good long while.” He sighed. “I even saw it before, but didn't recognize Haku. Why I didn't, I have no idea, other than I assumed he was a good person.”
Neji clenched his fist tighter. “How did you find this out?”
Naruto shook his head. “I want to tell you, but I'm mixed up in something pretty shitty.” He bit his lip. “Kakashi is working on something and I can't mess it up.” He scrubbed his hand through his hair in frustration and looked at his friend, hoping that somehow the man understood.
Neji forced himself to take a deep breath. He knew Kakashi was likely working on a case and based on Naruto's confession it involved Itachi's Uncle. Knowing the man was not good and had forced drugs on Naruto, and that Hinata's boyfriend had broken up with her because he was fucking the man it was not unlikely that Naruto was being dragged into some considerably illegal things. He crossed to his friend and wrapped him in a tight hug. “I think Hinata needs to know he was cheating on her, but whatever else it is, don't even mention it. Don't mention who. Don't mention anything, just the cheating.”
The kettle whistled and Neji quickly poured the water into the tea cups. Naruto smiled sadly and took one of the cups while Neji took his and Hinata's. Hinata had mostly composed herself by the time the two men returned. Neji handed her the tea he had made for her and then sat in the chair next to her, allowing Naruto to sit next to her on the couch. Although he loved his cousin and was able to show her affection, Naruto was more a natural when it came to comfort.
After a few sips of tea she turned to Naruto. “I want to hear it,” she bit her lip. “I know it's probably not good, but,” she looked down into her tea cup as if it could answer all her questions. “I just want to know everything.”
Naruto nodded and set his tea cup down. After taking Hinata's from her and setting that one down as well he took her hands. “I saw him today with someone else. I asked about you of course. He told me he had broken it off with you because he couldn't keep cheating on you.”
Hinata's quiet sobs echoed off of the unnaturally quiet room. Neji closed his eyes and tried to control his breathing. He would need the comfort of his fiance after this. He would have brought her along, but Hinata and Ten-Ten had a strained relationship. Ten-Ten took his cousin's natural shyness as an insult. Because of that, she ignored Hinata, which cycled around to make Hinata feel more shy. He was still trying to bridge the distance between the two women in his life.
Naruto held his friend tight as she wept, his hand running soothing circles on her back. When it seemed her tears had dried up, he pulled back slightly and handed her the tea cup back. “You're better off,” he said quietly.
After a few sips of tea, Hinata nodded. She exhaled sharply. “I just don't know what to do with myself right now.” She bit the inside of her cheek and glanced at Neji. “If you need to go, you can. I know Ten-Ten is only back for a couple days while school is on break.”
Neji shook his head. “I'll take a trip to visit her soon to make it up to her, but she knows that you are important to me and I need to be here right now.”
Hinata smiled then, grabbing her cousin's hand. “Do you guys think we can just snuggle up together in the master bedroom and watch horror movies?”
Naruto chuckled. “The break-up remedy of champions. I'm glad Kiba fell in love every 5 days and always needed to mourn them. It's really the best thing I learned from him.”
Hinata chuckled. “He always said 'When love's a chore turn to blood and gore'. I don't know if he realized how much of a legend that would become in the few short months of our sophomore year due to the number of breakups he had.”
Neji shook his head. “I think remember Kiba. Kid with the dog right? Horny as one too?”
Naruto snorted. “That's him.” He sobered up a bit and continued, “He got kicked out right after sophomore year for joining a gang. I don't know where he ended up after that. He was a good guy, just got into a bad situation. After meeting Itachi, I think I understand him a bit better.”
**************
Sasuke sighed as stared out the window on Monday morning. School was a nightmare. He was still sore after the ordeal with Sai, but he needed to be back to get his credits so he could graduate. Christmas break wasn't far off, only a handful of days. He'd make due until then.
Naruto smiled and grabbed Sasuke's hand. “Hey, Sas,” when charcoal eyes turned his way his smile grew even if his eyes were troubled. “Are you feeling okay?”
Sasuke nodded slightly. “Just having a hard time concentrating on school right now.”
Naruto frowned, but didn't say anything. He knew the situation that Itachi and himself were in was the cause of most of Sasuke's stress, and he couldn't help but feel it was his fault. Sitting in Study Hall there wasn't anything to occupy Sasuke's mind. He pushed his desk closer to Sasuke's. “Want to work on the play?”
Sasuke smiled softly, knowing Naruto was doing what he could to be a distraction. “Yeah, that would be great.” They pulled out their notebooks and started working on the play again. By the time Study Hall was almost over, they had finished the entire play. Sasuke sighed. “Are you safe?”
Naruto knew Sasuke was worried. After Itachi had gotten home while Naruto was with Hinata, he'd filled Sasuke in to some degree. “Yeah, the 'green brothers' as Itachi calls them will always be with us. They won't let anything happen to me.”
Sasuke frowned. “I know that you're not really working for him. Itachi didn't go into a lot of detail, but I know it's not real.” He bit his lip, “But that doesn't stop me worrying. Both of my brothers are in a bad situation.”
Naruto laid his head on Sasuke's shoulder. “I know. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified, but I trust your brother. I'm not sure what all is going on with everything myself. I know what Itachi is doing and I know what I'm going to do, but I don't know much other than that.” He sighed. “I know that Kakashi has something going on. Neither he or Itachi has brought me in on what that is though.”
Sasuke chuckled despite his fear. “Because you pretty much can never keep a secret.”
Naruto wanted to be offended, but he knew for sure he couldn't be. It wasn't exactly a secret that he couldn't keep one. Shikamaru had anticipated his failure to keep a straight face and secret into their only successful prank because of his famous lack of secret keeping ability. He squeezed Sasuke's hand one more time before starting to pack everything up before class ended.
The only class left was math, their least favorite. “Do you know when you and 'Tachi are going back to your house?”
Sasuke shook his head and with a slightly evil glint in his eyes, raised his voice just slightly. “I think Itachi just doesn't want to sleep alone anymore. Since Kakashi and Iruka haven't kicked him out of your bed yet.”
Naruto blushed as a couple girls sitting closest to them started to snicker. Although Naruto hadn't started out as an exceptionally popular student, by his senior year his perpetually sunny personality had succeeded in him becoming one of their classmates' favorite people. The fact it was no secret that he dated Itachi was as much loved as it was hated by the girls in their class. When Itachi dropped Naruto and Sasuke off at school on occasion, there were always squeals of joy from someone.
“Bastard,” he whispered with no real heat. Then with a smirk, he raised his eyes to Sasuke's and gave back just as good as he got. With his voice at the same level as Sasuke's had been, he said, “You just want to have your room back so you can talk to your girlfriend without someone listening in.”
A disappointed groan came from just over Sasuke's left shoulder as several of the girls realized Sasuke was off the market. Sasuke shook his head, but smiled at Naruto. “Maybe,” he conceded. “Think she's going to come over tonight though. I'll have to thank Kakashi and Iruka for giving us a space that is so welcoming. I love your dads.”
Naruto's smile softened to something reserved for his most precious people. “Mmmhmm. I'm sure they'll do anything to make sure you guys feel as welcome as possible until your renovations are done.”
