Disclaimer:
I don't own Naruto, sadly...*sighs* I tried to buy the royalties
from Masashi Kishimoto, but he just laughed in my face. I guess food
stamps aren't an expectable currency in Japan *double sigh*.

Summary:
Just because we aren't needed at the moment doesn't mean we
aren't necessary. Loosely based off of the movie 'It's a Wonderful
Life'.

Warnings
for this chapter: WAFF, Lemon! Lemon! Lemon! My first yaoi lemon!

A/N:
Welcome to the second and final part of Necessary! Please don't
bash me too harshly if I suck at the lemon, okay? And I had to squash
some of Naruto's precious people together, because, let's face it he
has a lot of them and I just don't have the mental strength to write
one part for each of them! Well, Kurai, this is the pairing
revealing! I hope you appreciate this because I worked all day on my
day off just to put the first part out. And I just know you are gonna
love what I have done. So without further ado, on with the fic!

Thoughts-italics

***********Jiriaya-Tsunade-Konohamaru***********

“Give
it up, jijii!” Uzumaki Naruto started at the sound of
Konohamaru's voice from the hallway of what looked to be the new
Hokage Tower, “Sofu (1) could run circles around you as
Hokage!”

“Why
you little-!” He drew an intake of breath, then mouthed the
words 'Ero-sennin'. The blond Kyuubi vessel watched as the little
brunette gennin leaped out the Hokage window with a laugh that
reminded Naruto of his own at that age. The teen also noticed
something that looked like a manila envelop in the chibi shinobi's
hand. He was then graced with the appearance of the toad sannin's
upper body leaning outside the same window, “You bring that
back here right now, gaki!”

“Why
don't you come out here and make me, you old hentai?”
Konohamaru stuck his tongue out at the fuming white haired sannin.
But the fury turned to horror as the troublemaker ripped open the
manila envelope and removed a stack of papers.

“You
wouldn't-?” Eyes wide, mouth agape, Jiriaya looked as though he
was praying to any god out there that the brat didn't do what he
thought he was gonna do.

A superior smirk graced the features of the chibi genin,
“I would!” A strike of a match and the toad sannin
watched in absolute horror as his manuscript for Icha Icha Tactics
went up in flames.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
Exaggerated rivulets of tears poured from perverted sannin's
abnormally huge eyes, and Naruto felt his right eye twitching at his
behavior, “MY MANUSCRIPT!! THREE YEARS OF RESEARCH DOWN THE
TOILET!! WAAAAAHHHHH!!”

“Serves
you right, jijii! Whoever thought that you could be a great Hokage
was a baka!” Konohamaru stuck his tongue out again at the
weeping toad sage. The blond shinobi stared, mouth agape, at how
disrespectful the younger boy was being, “You're the worst
Hokage in the history of Konoha!”

“What
has gotten into that gaki?” The teen finally growled out, fists
clinched, fingernails digging into his palm, feeling the sudden urge
to bash the kid over the head, “What's his problem anyways?”

“He
didn't have anyone to be a true example for him or show him proper
discipline,” Seiko gave the Kyuubi Vessel a side glance.

Blond brows furrowed, So I affected his life, too. He
glanced up to see the wounded expression on the toad sannin's face as
he watched the brunette gennin take off over the rooftops. He turned
back to the old lady, a question in his azure eyes.

“Ah,
yes!” The crone closed her sapphire eyes and nodded, “It
seems that, this time around, I must give an explanation about these
occurrences. You see, Jiriaya was originally slated for the position
of Godaime, but he suggested the council make Tsunade Godaime
instead. He was given a short amount of time to seek her out. He went
out on his own, of course, but, without you, he was unable to
convince her to take the position.”

“Nani?!”
Azure eyes grew abnormally huge before the blond shinobi came to his
senses, “But what about the deal she made with Orochimaru? She
didn't agree to it, did she?!”

“Gaki,
please give the woman some credit,” Seiko huffed, “Not
all blondes are airheaded...like you!”

“Oi,
you take that back, oban (2)!!” Naruto's snarled waving his
fist in the old woman's face.

“Maamaa,
you wouldn't hit a poor helpless old lady, now, would you?” She
grinned when the boy's expression faltered, “I thought so. To
answer your question, no. She did not take Orochimaru's deal. A fight
took place between the sannin, in which Tsunade was killed,
accidentally, of course, and Jiriaya barely managed to escape with
his life. Therefore, he had no choice but to take the position of
Hokage.”

“He...He
never wanted to become Hokage?” A blond brow arched at the
elderly angel's testimony.

“He
knew that he wouldn't be cut out for the position,” the old
woman sighed, “He was unsure he could make the decisions that
would affect the village...he had no confidence in himself, so, he
believed that he would fail. And by believing that, he did...many
times over (3).”

The teen cast a sympathetic glance towards the window
where the toad sannin had previously stood, “Ero-sennin...”

“Yosh!”
Seiko said finally breaking the ominous silence that had descended,
“Let's go.”

***********Neji***********

White walls and a tiled floor adorned the establishment
they appeared within and Naruto furrowed his brows quizzically what
they were doing in Konoha's Hospital. He continued to follow the old
woman until they came to a door clearly labeled 'Psychiatric Ward'.
The teen stood there for a moment in silence.

“Seiko-baachan?”
his voice coming out barely above a whisper, but he said no more.

Seiko nodded, understanding the unspoken question, and
answered, “You'll see.”

They walked past the entrance of the psychiatric ward
and passed several patients' rooms before the old woman came to a
stop at the door labeled 17B. Underneath the room number, in bold
letters, was the name Hyuuga Neji.

Tanned fingers reached out and gently traced the letters
of the name, murmuring to no one in particular, “Neji...what
are you doing here?”

“Hyuuga-san!
It's time for your medication!” The teen was snapped out of his
dark reverie by the chirping voice of a nurse who entered Neji's
room. Curiosity getting the better of him, he followed the nurse
inside.

“What
is the weather like today?” The young Byakugan user questioned
offhandedly, not moving from his place in a chair next to his bed
facing a bare wall where a window should have been.

“It's
rather cloudy today. I expect it will rain later,” The nurse
answered almost too happily for Naruto's liking...she sounded so...so
condescending, like he was a child.

“I
wish they would give me a room with a window, so I can at least see
something besides a brick wall,” The Hyuuga sighed, “A
window with a view of the trees outside...that would be nice.”

“Maamaa,
Hyuuga-san,” the nurse waggled an index finger as if she were
scolding a child, “You remember the last time you were assigned
a room with a window. We can't have you trying to run away again,
ne?”

The long haired brunette merely sighed in compliance as
the nurse set down a cup with several different colored pills on the
tray table beside him along with a glass of water. She stood in front
of the Hyuuga her eyes focused solely on his face to make sure that
he ingested the multi-colored medication. Naruto took this
opportunity to make his way around to chair to get a closer look at
the young brunette. What he saw took his breath away and not in the
good way.

Neji Hyuuga, one of the strongest shinobi in Konoha (In
Naruto's opinion anyways), was only a shell of his former self. He
looked even paler than normal, frail and thin. His eyes were sunken
into their sockets, giving Neji a deathly appearance, and his face
was no longer handsome as he looked as though the skin was taught
against his skull as if he had gone long periods without eating. The
pale brunette outstretched a thin hand towards the tray table and the
blond noticed a metallic cuff around his wrist. A chakara
surpressant? The ones they use on inmates at Konoha prison? Why is
Neji wearing one of those? The pale hand retracted, the cup of
pills in its grasp. Neji swiftly tipped the cup in his mouth and,
after setting the empty cup down, followed it with the cup of water.

“Alright,
Hyuuga-san, you know the drill,” the nurses voice was no longer
cheerful, but demeaning in its tone, “Mouth open, tongue up!”

The Hyuuga complied, and the nurse examined his mouth
until she was satisfied. “Good boy! I'll return with you're
lunch.” She spoke again with the same condescending tone as
before. As she passed Naruto, he noticed a disgusted scowl marring
her features.

“Baa-chan?
What did Neji ever do to deserve this?” He lowered his head,
his blond bangs overshadowing his eyes. He gripped his chest, feeling
it tighten as if someone was trying to rip his heart out.

“Where
to began,” The old woman sighed, her brows furrowing in
thought, “He grew up with contempt for the Main House. He had
no one there to force him to see the folly of his rage. His hatred
for the Main House only festered in his heart until, one day, he
snapped. Following in the footsteps of Uchiha Itachi, he slaughtered
his entire clan in a blind rage...started with the main house, but
didn't stop there. He wiped out the Branch family members as well. It
took nearly five ANBU teams to restrain him. Poor boy.”

“Hn,”
was the only response from the teen. His face remained
expressionless, even though on the inside, his heart was breaking.

***********Gaara***********

Sand. In front, behind, all around him, sand. The golden
rays of the setting sun giving the desert an orange glow and
illuminating a single figure that stood in the distance. Even though
Naruto knew he didn't exist in this reality, he could still fill the
malice and the blood lust expelling off the figure in rivulets. The
figure merely stood there, unmoving like a stone statue amidst the
ocean of sand, his face staring past the blond shinobi into
nothingness. The chartreuse eyes empty, souless and his face
impassive. The soft strands of his blood red hair flowed with the dry
breeze of the sun kissed desert. Sabaku no Gaara.

“You
have no business here,” the deadly monotone voice passed the
pale jinchuuriki's lips, “unless you've come here to die.”

At first, Naruto thought the words were directed towards
him before he remembered that he couldn't be seen nor heard. A
familiar tinkling of bells behind him, and he realized to whom the
red head had been addressing. Akatsuki.

“Tch!
How rude!” One of the Akatsuki shinobi commented as he removed
his kasa revealing long blond hair partially pulled back in a pony
tail, a long thick lock hanging over his left eye, “I think
someone should teach this gaki some manners, wouldn't you agree,
Sasori-danna, un?”

“Just
get this over with, Deidara,” the shorter of the pair growled
impatiently, “And don't take too long.”

“Yes,
yes. I know,” The blond Akatsuki member rolled his pale blue
eyes, “You hate waiting...you've told me a million times
already, un.” Deidara then thrust his hand into a pouch at his
hip, a smug smirk appearing on his lips as the cork to Gaara's gourd
was released with a pop, sand pouring out of it. The blond Akatsuki
member opened his hand and tossed a small clay bird a few feet in
front of him and, channeling his chakra, the clay bird grew a hundred
times it's size. The moment he leaped on it's back and took to the
air, the battle began.

Naruto watched the display in morbid fascination as
Deidara swiftly out manuvered the Ichibi jinchuuriki's sand, now and
again tossing out small clay bombs that didn't even graze the surface
of Gaara's sand shield. After what seemed like several grueling hours
of fighting, Naruto suddenly realized the elder blond's strategy. He
noticed the many weak attacks Deidara directed at Gaara, but the
blond teen realized that the Akatsuki shinobi was not trying to get
through the sand shield at all. He was stalling, letting Gaara
underestimate him, prolonging the battle and waiting for the red
headed shinobi to run out of chakra. And it was working. Gaara's
breathing was now becoming labored, a sign that his chakra resourses
were low. It wasn't long before the Suna shinobi fell to his knees in
exahastion, panting heavily, body trembling. Suddenly, Gaara's body
stiffened a trickle of blood pouring out of his mouth, his chartreuse
eyes wide with disbelief, as he fell forwards paralyzed. A long
metalic tail pulled out of the jinchuuriki's back a poison purple
liquid mixed with blood dripping off the sharp tip.

“I
told you not to take too long, Deidara!” Sasori growled out as
he retracted the tail back into his cloak.

“Hmpf!
I don't know what you're complaining about, Sasori-danna,” The
blond Akatsuki huffed as the giant clay bird landed gathering the
poisoned red head into its mouth, “It probably would have taken
much longer if he had the villages support, un. This was actually
easy. I hardly broke a sweat, un.”

“Urusai!”
Sasori spat out, before moving towards the desert's border, “The
more you talk, the longer it takes until we get to the base! Now, get
moving!”

Naruto's narrowed azure eyes followed the pair as they
disappeared from the desert on foot. “I think, I'm beginning to
understand, now.” His expression changed from contempt, to
sorrow, “Without fighting me, Gaara would have never learned
the value of true companionship. He would have continued on thinking
his purpose was to kill. His village would have never lifted a finger
to help him. I never realized...Gaara...”

The old woman smiled and placed a comforting hand on the
boy's shoulder, “One more thing you must see.”

***********Sasuke***********

Darkness with only the flame of a dripping candle for
light. Agonizing screams tore through the darkness from the figure on
the bed nearby, causing the blond shinobi to flinch. Long silky black
hair in disarray, arms bandaged from shoulder to fingertips.
Orochimaru, the snake sannin, reclined back against the wall,
panting. Tears welling up in his snake-like eyes from the intense
pain from his arms. A grey-haired young man, barely twenty years of
age, was assisting him in swallowing a nasty looking liquid, some of
it slipping down from the corners of the pale sannin's mouth.

“That's
it, Orochimaru-sama,” Kabuto murmured comfortingly, “Drink
it up. It will help with the pain.”

“Haven't
they got here yet?” Orochimaru managed between pants, “Where
is Sasuke-kun?”

“The
other's sent Tayuya ahead with a message,” The medic-nin tried
to restrain a triumphant giggle (don't ask!), “Everything went
smoothly. Sasuke-kun should be arriving within the hour!”

Despite the pain, the snake sannin couldn't help but let
the satisfied grin spread across his pale face, his body relaxed
slightly, “Excellent!”

“Baa-chan?!”
The young blond swiftly turned to face Seiko, disbelief marring his
tanned features, “Didn't they send a rescue squad after
Sasuke?”

“No,”
was the answer, and Naruto exploded in a series of curses and
tantrums.

“WHY
THE FUCK NOT!?! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE!?!”
The blond screamed at the top of his lungs, “HE'S A LEAF
SHINOBI!! ONE OF THEIR OWN!! AND THEY JUST LET HIM GO!?!”

BAM!

“ITAI!!”
The teen, once again, sported a huge lump on his head from the old
hag's evil wicker purse, Does she carry bricks in that thing?

“Do
calm yourself, baka!” the old crone growled, ignoring the
heated looks the Kyuubi container directed at her, “No, no one
was sent to retrieve the Uchiha boy. Remember Kohana was attacked by
Suna and Oto during the Chuunin Exams. This left the village
vulnerable and weakened it's man power. Jiriaya knew it wasn't wise
to send a squad of inexperienced gennin and he needed the all the
chuunin and jounin that survived the attack to remain in the village
and protect it's borders. It was a difficult decision for him to make
because, either way, Konoha was put at risk. In the end, Jiriaya
chose the lesser of two evils, protecting the village in its
vulnerable state over retrieving the Uchiha. Now consider these
things: Being your existence is void, Sakura was killed and could not
alert Jiriaya of his disappearance, Neji was too wrapped up in his
own hatred to lend his assistance if the order to retrieve the Uchiha
had been given. If they had turned to Suna, Gaara would have killed
the Uchiha rather than returned him alive. The Uchiha boy was
completely alone, and without you, he had no real bonds to hold him
back or slow him down. So it all boils down to this: you, Uzumaki
Naruto, are the tiny sliver of hope that they cling to, the guiding
light that can lead them out of darkness. Without you, these people
that you have always considered precious to you are lost. And this
would be the result.”

Naruto turned back to the scene, his chest clenching at
the appearance of Uchiha Sasuke as he was four years prior. Only this
Sasuke was different from the one that had been his rival, his
friend, his brother, his secret crush. This Sasuke seemed colder,
emitting an aura of deep seeded venomous hatred. The Uchiha's
obsidian eyes expressed a cold emptiness within their depths.

Azure eyes traveled from the cold raven toward the chair
in which the snake sannin was now occupying. A wicked and hungry look
flashed across Orochimaru's serpentine eyes and his thin and pale
lips were drawn up into a victorious smirk, “Welcome,
Sasuke-kun.”

“Hn.”
was the cold and wordless response. The snake sannin nodded towards
the grey haired medic nin, a quiet command to remove himself. With a
knowing smirk at the young Uchiha, Kabuto silently exited the pale
sannin's chambers. A ominous silence was thick in the air, Naruto
could hear his heart pounding inside his head, watching in horror as
Orochimaru opened his mouth to abnormally wide proportions. His
breathing quickened as a enormous white serpent made up from smaller
white snakes emerged from within the sannin's mouth, a twisted
serpentine version of himself. He noticed that even Sasuke had begun
trembling in fear at the monstrosity.

“SSSSSSSSSassssuke-kun,”
he heard the inhuman hiss from the serpent's lips, “I will
grant you one wissssh in return you give yousssssssself willingly to
me. What isssssss it you desssssssire?”

The Uchiha suddenly composed himself, a flash of hatred
ghosted across the film of his eyes, “I want that traitor, my
brother, Uchiha Itachi dead,” was the simple malicious reply.

“Kukukuku...”
the blond Kyuubi vessel shuddered at the dark laughter of the white
serpent he surmised was Orochimaru's true form, “Ssso be it.”

The small white snakes on Orochimaru's serpentine body
suddenly shot out towards the raven, their mouths attaching to
various exposed parts of his body. Obsidian eyes glazed over as the
snakes' poison worked its way into his blood stream. It happened
almost in slow motion; the head of the giant white serpent hovered
above it's helpless victim, its mouth widened as it descended upon
the body of the paralyzed Uchiha, and devoured him whole(4). Naruto's
breathing stopped, his heart skipped, shock took over his entire
body, and suddenly a heart shattering scream erupted from the
horrified blond, “SASUKE!!”

***********The Return***********

It wasn't that cold when they returned to the top of the
Hokage Monument, and still Naruto couldn't stop trembling. Just
watching what would have happened if he hadn't been there...the
gravity of those events hit him like a shot to the solar plexus.
Indeed, he had been wrong...they had needed him...and maybe, just
maybe, there was that small glimmer of hope that they still needed
him in some way. That thought warmed him and the trembling suddenly
became less and less. The blond shinobi turned to Seiko, watery azure
eyes fixed on wizen ones, and his lips turned up slightly into a
small smile of understanding.

“Heh!
I see you understand the necessity of your presence here,” the
old woman gave a small cackle, but soon a serious expression
presented itself on the old haggard face, “Listen to me
carefully, gaki. People aren't really meant to know their true
purpose in this world, but, as long as they are still breathing they
still have a purpose to fulfill. Everyone is needed in this world
even though it may seem like they aren't. Just because a person isn't
needed in that particular moment doesn't mean that person isn't
necessary. Remember that, gaki.” Naruto's smile widened into
that trademark sunshine grin; those words were what he needed to
hear...he was necessary. “Yosh. I think that about does
it.” The smile disappeared from those tan features, azure eyes
blinked in wonderment, “Maa, don't you have somewhere to go?
Here's an idea! Why don't you go wish those friends of yours a Merry
Christmas, ne? I'm sure they'd be happy to see you!”

The sunshine of Konoha's smile returned once more as he
raced towards the stairway that lead to the village below, shouting
out to the wizened old woman once more before he disappeared, “Thanks
a lot, Seiko-baachan!”

Seiko only smiled before vanishing into thin air.

***********************

Sakura and Lee had been searching the entire village for
two hours for Naruto only to come up empty handed. They had been by
his apartment, the training grounds, the Hokage Monument, and still
no Naruto. The pair had stopped by Ichiraku Ramen, and Teuchi had
said that the elusive blond shinobi had been their briefly in the
company of an elderly woman but, to their whereabouts, he had no
clue.

Everyone of Naruto's friends and adopted family knew
that the young blond was going through a depression since the third
failed attempt at retrieving the wayward Uchiha. The Rookie Nine and
Team Gai along had all agreed to throw the unsuspecting blond a
surprise Christmas party with the help of Tsunade, Kakashi, Iruka,
Gai and Kurenai. But after searching for another hour, Sakura began
to worry.

“I
hope Naruto hasn't done anything stupid,” She vocallized her
worries to her green spandex clad boyfriend beside her, and he
squeezed her hand reassuringly.

“There
is nothing to worry about, Sakura-koi,” Lee flashed the
blinding toothy grin that he and his sensei were famous for, “I
am sure that Naruto-kun is well!”

“SAKURA-CHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!”
came a jovial yell from behind them, and, before the pair knew it,
they were sprawled on the ground being glomped by a hyper blond
shinobi, who was wearing his trademark grin, “Merry Christmas,
Sakura-chan, Lee-kun!”

“NARUTO!!
GET OFF!!” the pink haired kunoichi's tone sounded annoyed but
the Inner Sakura was cheering...Naruto was smiling! She wondered what
had happened in the past few hours to change his depressed mood.

“Naruto-kun!
Merry Christmas to you as well!” Lee, who had not at all been
affected by the Kyuubi vessel's outburst, grinned widely at seeing
his young friend smile again, “It is good to see that your
Springtime of Youth has returned!”

“But
Lee, it's wintertime,” the blond gave the taijutsu specialist a
bewildered look and Sakura sweatdropped.

“Naruto,
we've been searching for you for three hours,” Sakura
explained, azure eyes widening at her testimony. They were looking
for me? “Tsunade-sama needs to see you,”

“Yosh!”
Naruto's smile reappeared as he got to his feet and helped Sakura and
Lee to theirs, “Let's go see Baa-chan so I can wish her a Merry
Christmas, too!”

***************************

Rookie 9, Team Gai, the Subakuno siblings, Iruka,
Shizune, and Tsunade all bustled about putting up the final
decorations in the Hokage's office. The had chosen it for the
Christmas party for the simple fact it would be easier to surprise
Naruto if he were under the impression that he was coming to the
office because Tsunade needed to speak with him. Hyuuga Neji was
standing next to the window using his Byakugan as a look out while
the rest of the group put the finishing touches to the decor of the
office. Well, at least most of them were helping. One was standing in
the corner of the office in the shadows, watching as everyone fussed
over making sure everything was perfect. Gaara stood supervising
Hinata, Ino, and TenTen hanging the pine garland above the windows,
Kakashi and Gai were competing to see who could stack the most amount
of drinking glasses without them breaking (probably Gai's idea since
Kakashi had a look in his left eye that said 'Kill me now'). Shino
had procured some fireflies he had saved from the cold weather to
light up the Chirstmas tree(5), Iruka, Shizune, Tsunade, Sai, and
Temari were busying themselves placing gifts around its trunk, while
Chouji placed refreshments on the table, every now and again
'testing' the contents. He smirked to himself, Naruto wouldn't care
about everything being perfect. Just everyone being there would
satisfy the dobe.

“Oi,
Uchiha!” Inuzuka Kiba, who had a garland of popcorn draped over
his arm, trying his damnedest to wrap it around the Chistmas tree,
but ending up getting his legs tangled in the process, in which
Subakuno Kankurou was trying to untangle it from his boyfriend's
legs, grumbling for him to stand still, “Are you gonna help us
with the decorating?”

Sasuke glanced around the room seeing the others as they
hung garland and set out refreshments, then looked back at the
brunette dog nin, “No.”

“Tch,
Naruto's right...you are a teme!” was the growled response only
causing a knowing smirk to appear on the Uchiha's lips.

Yes, Sasuke Uchiha had returned of his own free will. He
had returned leaving the rest of Hebi to their own devices and spoken
to Tsunade that morning. He understood that he would be punished for
his defection to Orochimaru, but considering that he never betrayed
any information to said sannin, his punishment would be light. One
thing had brought him back, and it was that one thing that he was
standing there longing to see.

“I see
them! They're outside the tower!” Neji hissed out his warning.

Tsunade nodded in understanding, and turned to the
others in the room as they had finished with the decorating, “Alright
everyone to your places. Kakashi, hit the lights!”

The entire group sat in total darkness for nearly five
minutes before the resounding voicew of Naruto's reached their ears,
as well as his laughter. Wait, he's laughing? Grins appeared on the
occupants of the lightless room, hearing his laughter was music to
their ears, “Ano se, Sakura-chan, what does Baa-chan want to
see me for anyways?” “Just shut up and go inside, baka!”
“Sakura-chaaaaan! So mean to me!” “Just go!!”
A loud groan from the blond, “Fine.” The door to the
office swung open, and the hyperactive blond stood there in
bewilderment, scratching the back of his neck, “Oi, why's it so
dark in here?”

Suddenly, the lights were on and everyone was yelling
“Surprise! Merry Christmas!” at the confused blond
shinobi. Naruto eyes widened in the best impression of a deer caught
by in coming headlights, frozen in the middle of the road. His tan
features then softened thoughtfully, All this time they were
planning to surprise me...he felt guilt flood his senses, they
did appreciate me, and I was thinking about...the Kyuubi vessel
shook his head, allowing the brightest smile he had grace his
whiskered face, and he let out a pleased laugh, “Arigatou
minna!(6) You don't know how much this means to me!”

The blond teen felt tan arms wrap around his shoulders,
and he tensed slightly until he realized that the arms belonged to
Iruka, “Merry Christmas, Naruto!” the blond bit his lip
to prevent relieved tears from falling as he squeezed the scarred
chuunin tightly as if he would never let go, “N-Naruto? What's
gotten into you?”

“Nothing,
Iruka-sensei,” Naruto breathed in the chuunin's scent and
basked in his teachers warmth, a satisfied smile plastered across his
face, “I'm just glad to see you!” Iruka chuckled softly
before Naruto peeked over the chuunin's shoulder, his azure gaze
locked firmly with the one onyx eye of the copy nin, which had
crinkled up into an upside down u shape to acknowledge the fact that
he was smiling. A knowing vupine grin that said 'I know something you
don't know' danced mischievously across the kitsune container's
tanned features, and at once the smiling eye vanished only to glare
warily at the blond.

A tap on his shoulder and Naruto's azure eyes turned to
meet pale lavender ones, “It's good to see you smiling again,
Naruto-kun,” a soft smile was found on the usually indifferent
face of Neji. Before the Byakugan could say anymore he was gripped in
a bone crushing bear hug by the blond kitsune.

“NEJIIII!!”
The Hyuuga's heart would skipped at the sound of delight in his blond
crush's voice had he not been concentrating on the lack of air.
TenTen gave a knowing chuckle and a flush appeared on the pale
Byakugan user's cheeks. Suddenly, the Kyuubi container released Neji
chuckling sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head as the long
haired brunette gasped for air, “Sorry, Neji. I'm just a little
excited is all.”

“Indeed,”
was the short but playful reply, after the Hyuuga caught his breath.

Naruto glanced around the room seeing all the beautiful
decorations, his eyes landing on the Christmas tree in the corner
adorned with a string of popcorn garland and flashing lightening
bugs. Beneath it sat a mountain of carefully wrapped gifts, and
beside it stood someone with a shock of red hair that Naruto would
recognize anywhere. The blond kitsune's smile widened a small laugh
of mixed relief and joy escaping his lips. Said red head let a smile
grace his normally stoic countenance that he had saved only for his
beloved blond friend.

“It's
good to see you again, Naru-” In the second he was about to say
his friend's name, Gaara had been unceremoniously glomped to the
floor. Had it been anyone else, it would have been the last thing
they had ever done. But this was Naruto, one of his few beloved
precious people. So he accepted the glomping in characteristic
silence with Temari and Kankurou sweatdropping in the background. In
fact, he welcomed it. If the blond was happy, he was happy.

“Alright,
gaki! That's enough PDA for tonight!” Tsunade finally
interfered with the Kyuubi vessel's glomping rampage, and said blond
released the red headed Kazekage, albeit reluctantly, and turned his
attention to the female Hokage, “I have a special surprise for
you.” She turned to a dark corner of the room, “You can
come out now.”

An ominous silence filled the room as Uchiha Sasuke
stepped from the shadows, azure blue eyes widened, “S-Sasuke...”

“Dobe...”
the raven haired Uchiha's obsidian eyes focused on the one thing he
had been longing to see all day, his eyes moving as the blond rose to
his feet in a shock, “Merry Christmas.”

Silence then...

BAM!!

The Uchiha flew several feet backwards, slamming against
the wall behind him, hearing several gasps following. He glanced up
to see a tan fist in the space that he had occupied previously. He
looked up a confused expression taking the place of indifference (7),
“Dobe, what the hell...?”

“Teme,”
was the growled response, narrowed azure locked with wide obsidian,
“I think you and I need to have a talk!”

Sai, who was watching the interaction with hidden
interest, was puzzled by the blond shinobi's reaction. That's
strange, I thought Naruto-kun would be happy to have his seme back. I
wonder what kind of emotion could have evoked him to react like this.

*******************

Naruto sat on his worn out couch across from Sasuke, the
pair currently embroiled in a staring contest of sorts. Of course,
neither of them knew how to start the conversation they knew was
inevitable, but finally the blond broke the silence.

“I
guess I'll just say what I need to say and get it over with,” a
tired sigh escaping from plump pink lips and the raven couldn't help
but notice that his mouth had suddenly gone dry, “I'm glad
you're back, but...we can't pretend that what happened in the past
didn't happen. Things have changed, Sasuke...and you can't come back
expecting things to go back the way they were before you left. I'm
gonna need some time...if you want to be friends again. Because
there's things that have happened that you just can't erase. I guess
I'm saying that I need time to be able to trust you again.”

The Uchiha nodded in understanding. Of course, he had
expected this, though the punch Naruto had given him a the Christmas
party earlier had thrown him for a loop. He hadn't expected that
things would go back to being the way they were before his defection.
“Would it help if I explained something to you?” The
blond beside him eyed him quizzically, but he ignored the gaze and
continued, “That time at the Valley of the End...I...I had no
intention of killing you though it seemed that way.”

“Eh?!”
a blond brow disappeared beneath blond bangs, then both his azure
eyes narrowed at the raven, “Could have fooled me, teme!”

The Uchiha closed his eyes, letting out a soft sigh, “I
guess it was a warped way of trying to protect you...I had a goal, to
kill my brother, Itachi...to drag you into it...you wouldn't have
held me back, but...it wouldn't have been fair to you if I got you
caught in the middle. It was something I needed to do alone. The
second time we met after being separated from you for three years,
acting like I didn't care for you was the hardest thing I ever had to
do.”

Azure eyes soften slightly at Sasuke's revelation,
“But...But you tried to kill me then, too.”

“No,
if I had meant to kill you then, you would have been dead. I was
deliberate in my movements because I knew if I was slow enough, one
of your teammates would interfere, which he did,” The Uchiha
explained, and the blond kitsunes face softened even more as though
he were about to cry, “When I fought with Itachi, I found out
he had an accomplice that helped him slaughter my clan. I had decided
then, after I killed my brother, that I would go after his accomplice
as well. That's why I told you that I refused to return to Konoha at
the time. It took me a year to track down Madara, and it was almost
impossible to destroy him, but finally I did.”

“But...if
you finished off Madara, why didn't you come home right then?”
Naruto questioned.

“Aa...”
Lowering his head, Sasuke knew this question was coming, “I
was...afraid...”

“Afraid?
You?” the blond shinobi stared at his former teammate mouth
agape, of course he had seen Sasuke afraid antecedently, but that had
been before his defection, “What were you afraid of?”

“Facing
you...” the raven admitted, more to himself than to the teen
beside him, “I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me if I
told you that I had only done those things to protect you. The bond I
had with you was the one I, truthfully, couldn't break. You said that
you considered me like a brother...but, honestly, I felt more for you
than I could ever feel for someone that was like a brother.”

“S-Sasuke?”
Naruto stuttered, nervously licking his full pink lips, hoping beyond
hope that this wasn't a dream, “W-What are you saying?”

“I'm
saying...” the blond jumped slightly as a pale hand grasped his
tan one, “I'm saying, I love you.”

Those three words, and Naruto's world was spinning out
of control. His heart began to pound fiercely as though it would
burst from his chest, Is he serious? Does he really mean it? As
though some uncontrollable force had taken over his movement, the
blond's arm reached out, fingertips gently caressing the pale skin of
the raven's cheek before cupping it in his tan palm. Dark brows
raised in question to this sudden affectionate touch as the young
blond began to speak, “I love you, too.”

A tan thumb gently ran across the pale bottom lip before
being replaced by the soft pink lips of the Kyuubi vessel. Obsidian
eyes close, pale lips parting to thrust a tongue against pink ones,
dancing along the bottom lip, silently asking the younger teen for
entrance. Naruto complied at once, opening his mouth slightly as the
pliable muscle moved past his lips and affectionately caressing his
own. Pale arms encircled the waist of the lithe blond, pulling him
closer until the teen was straddled on the raven's lap. The kiss
deepened as the blond begin to grind his hips against the Uchiha's
awakening erection. Pale hands moved along the clothed sides,
reaching beneath the clothing to reach the smooth tan skin.

At the feel of the raven's pale hands on his skin, the
kitsune container shuddered, pulling from the kiss, his tan cheeks
heated with a rosy blush and his azure eyes fluttering closed,
“Mmm...S-Sasuke...”

Said raven used this opportunity to divest the blond
container of the annoying orange jacket and black tee shirt beneath
it, the blond's breathing quickened as a pale hand ran along the
tanned muscled chest. Azure eyes widened with a gasp as he felt a
warm wet muscle drag upwards along his tan skin, the wetness left
behind causing goosebumps to surface. The dark shinobi's tongue then
circled around the dusky nipple before taking the nub within his pale
lips, nipping and sucking as tan fingers ran through his black hair.
Pulling away he trailed his tongue horizontally across the tanned
chest to give the other neglected nipple the same affectionate
treatment.

Naruto senses were going insane at the Uchiha's
treatment, the uncomfortable tightening in his orange pants was proof
of that. He wanted more, the foreplay was only torture delaying the
inevitable. A whimper escaped his full lips as he ground his clothed
erection against Sasuke's impatiently.

Pulling from the ministrations, the raven focused lust
glazed obsidian eyes on mirrored azure, a sly smile crossing his pale
lips “Impatient, aren't we?”

Pale arms encircled the naked tanned waist, and the
blond teen was gently placed on his back and stripped of his pants,
revealing silk orange boxers. Pale hands ran along silk clad hips,
fingers hooking beneath the elastic before sliding the silk boxers
down past the blonds tanned thighs, along his calves and onto the
floor. A 7 inch, tanned, erect penis throbbed before obsidian eyes,
begging for release. A soft grin crossed the Uchiha's pale features
as he wrapped long pale fingers around the shaft, giving it a quick
stroke before lowering his head and letting the tip of his tongue run
across the slit, eliciting a loud moan from the erection's owner.

“Kami,
do you know how long I've waited to be able to do this to you,”
Sasuke murmured softly before enveloping the head of the blond's cock
in his mouth, suctioning it softly, and smiling around it at hearing
the blond moan his name. He lowered halfway down the erect length,
his tongue tickling the vein on the underside of the shaft. He pulled
back slightly, his pale lips tightening around the circumference,
then lowered down again to the base. He grasped the tanned scrotum in
his pale hand, long nimble fingers gently caressing the sac.

Tanned fingers ran through raven tresses griping
slightly, as soft moans emitted from Naruto's lips at the feel of the
heat around his hard cock. Azure eyes opened slightly to find a raven
head bobbing up and down along his hard lenth. That along was enough
to cause a tightening in his balls and a pressure to build behind the
base of his erect member. But before he could cum, the raven pulled
from his ministrations and the blond teen gave a whimper at the
removal of the heat.

“Not
yet, I want us to cum at the same time,” the raven maneuvered
above the blond, leaning forward to capture pink lips into another
passion filled kiss. Pulling from the kiss, he removed his own
clothing before placing three fingers in front of the kiss bruised
lips of the Kyuubi vessel, “Suck.”

Naruto complied wrapping his lips around the three pale
digits, his tongue lovingly caressing each one in turn. Sasuke's
attention turned to the tan neck before him as he placed small bites
and kisses along the junction of the tanned neck and shoulder, his
hardness grinding against the tanned one producing small shudders
from the blond beneath him. When he felt that his fingers were fully
coated, he pulled from the neck, heaving both tan legs upon his
shoulders, positioning his coated fingers at the puckered entrance.

The Uchiha focused dark eyes onto glazed azure, “This
will feel uncomfortable at first, just remember to relax,”
after he said this, the raven inserted a single digit into the
waiting heat, curling it slightly before pulling out, only to thrust
it back inside the tightness. The young blond whimpered at the
discomfort, but soon was mewling as the discomfort dissipated. A
second finger joined the first, curling slightly before scissoring
the entrance. To distract the inexperienced blond from the
discomfort, Sasuke wrapped pale fingers around the blond's tan
length, gently stroking it as soft moans took the place of whimpers.

Beads of sweat formed on the tanned forehead, his azure
eyes fluttering close only to reopen at the entrance of the third and
final digit. The fingers curling upwards and wiggling before
thrusting deeper in search for the bundle of nerves that could make
the blond see stars.

After a few thrusts, a flash of white appeared in the
blond's vision, a feeling of euphoria washing over him, he gasps out,
“Sasuke! There!”

A smirk crosses pale features as the raven nods in
understanding, thrusting his fingers in again to brush across the
bundle of nerves. Once he felt that Naruto had been well prepared, he
removed the digits eliciting a whimper from the blond at the loss.
The raven held a pale hand to his lips, spitting in it a few times
before rubbing the same palm along his 9 inch, pale member, coating
it with his saliva. He positioned the head at the puckered entrance,
obsidian focusing on azure, “This is going to hurt at first,
but you have to relax or it will continue to hurt. Do you trust me?”

Naruto bit his bottom lip, his heart beating
erratically, but with a shuddering sigh he answered, “I trust
you, Sasuke.”

Slowly, the raven pushed the head of his length into the
tight entrance, inch by inch he pressed into the warm constricting
orifice until he was fully sheathed. Naruto's body tensed and tears
formed at the corners of the young blonds eyes, but pale lips gently
kissed them away, “Relax.” The blond took a small breath
forcing his body to relax to the intrusion. After a few minutes, once
his body had adjusted to the raven's length, he nodded to the raven
to continue.

The thrusts started slowly, Sasuke lowering his lips to
brush across the tan jawline of the Kyuubi vessel, licking and
nipping as his thrusts became harder and faster. Azure eyes fluttered
closed as he chanted the raven's name like a mantra. The pale hand on
the tanned shaft began to move in time with the Uchiha's thrusts.
Suddenly, the flash of white presented itself once more in Naruto's
vision and he cried out his azure eyes widening at the sensation.
Realizing he had hit the bundle of nerves, he positioned at a certain
angle to make sure his length touched the sensitive spot inside his
blonde with each thrust. Successfully, finding it once more, he
pounded harder and faster into the tightness, matching his stroking
of the tanned phallus with the speed of his thrusts.

Once more, Naruto felt his balls tighten and the
pressure building behind the base of his shaft and, with a loud cry,
his seed spilled forth coating the pale hand. Sasuke felt the
entrance tighten around his own hardness, and with only a couple more
thrusts, his essence filled the blonds tight insides. The raven
collapsed on top of the blond, catching his breath, sweat drizzling
in tiny rivulets off his face and onto the tanned muscled chest. He
slid his softening member out of his new lover as he gently placed
kisses along the tanned lithe body.

Soon, his obsidian eyes were staring into sated azure, a
smile that reached his eyes played on his lips as he stared lovingly
down at his blond, “I love you, dobe.”

A satisfied grin spread across tan features, as Naruto
replied, “ I love you, too, teme.

*********************

It was the middle of the night, Sasuke and Naruto had
cleaned themselves up and were now currently occupying the blonds
bed. Only one of the occupants was wide awake reminiscing about the
days events. Naruto gently stroke the strands of the ravens hair, as
he looked outside his window at the night sky, thinking of Seiko. She
had helped him more than he could even began to repay. He only hoped
that if she was an angel, that she had finally gotten her wings. He
smiled to himself thinking of her as his guardian angel.

“Arigato,
Seiko-baachan,” he murmured as he closed his azure eyes and let
sleep take him.

His last thoughts were of her words, Just because a
person isn't needed in that particular moment doesn't mean that
person isn't necessary.

1: Sofu-My Grandfather

2: oban-bitchy old hag

3: I have always been told that if you believe you're
gonna fail you will. In the manga, Jiriaya said in his final moments
that he was a failure.

4: This is how Orochimaru performs the Soul Transfer
Jutsu in the manga

5: Yeah, it's lame I know, but still...Shino needed to
do his part too

6: Arigatou minna-Thank you everyone

7: You really didn't expect me to have Naruto just fall
into his arms did you? I've been wanting to see Naruto really deck
Sasuke just once during the second part of the manga

8: Of course, I had to let Sai put his two cents in

A/N: Well that's it! Yes, I did a SasuNaru...though it
was very traumatic for me. I hope you appreciate this Kurai!!

A/N2: I went over this the other day, and well, I found
I left out a crucial part of the lemon...I forgot to get Sasuke to
take his clothes off! >_< Well anyways, now it's fixed.
Gomen.

A final note for Kurai

Girl, you don't know how much you mean to me. See, you
mean so much to me that I'm willing to do something I loathe to make
you happy. You are my inspiration when I'm all out of ideas, you
encourage me (though sometimes harshly) when I feel like giving up.
You have become my precious person and my best friend. This is for
you!

To Kurai Kisu, the only person I would be willing to
write a SasuNaru for
