Chapter 2.

Itachi tapped his phone repetitively against his thigh as he sat in the back of the car. He was on his way back to the office and he couldn�t, frustratingly enough, get the blond nuisance out of his head. The whole predicament was puzzling him. While the archaeologist was rough and crude, there was something about him that demanded attention.

Itachi, having just had a conversation with his secretary, found out that Naruto Uzumaki was actually a Konoha native� and yet, he still didn�t fear the Uchiha name. The archaeologist just got more and more intriguing by the moment.

However, it didn�t matter how fascinating Itachi found the other man on a personal level. The blond was still in the way and as with any other obstacle in the Uchiha�s way, he had to go. After all, the business tycoon wanted his building done by summer and what Itachi wanted; he managed to get one way or another.

Looking down, Itachi�s sharp gaze noticed a speck of mud on his hand sewn leather shoes. With a look of disgust he wiped it on the thick, soft gray carpet of the floor until it was spotless and shiny once again. The Uchiha demanded things orderly, spotless and pristine. The peculiar thing was that he didn�t find the dirt rat repulsive at all. Quite the contrary actually� and that in its own was worrying.

When the car glided smoothly to a stop in front of his destination, Itachi wasted no time and promptly exited the vehicle. He needed to speak with Sasuke immediately. Deep in thought, the eldest Uchiha brother walked swiftly through the lobby and into the private elevators leading to the top floor.

As the elevator rose, his analytical mind was processing different scenarios on how to best deal with the newest problem at hand. It didn�t take but a moment before the elevator doors opened silently and he made his way purposefully to the end of the hallway where he threw the doors to his brother�s office open without a single knock.

Sasuke looked up from behind his desk at the unexpected interruption and narrowed his dark eyes that were almost a mirror image of his brothers.

�Sasuke, do you remember a Naruto Uzumaki from when you were younger? You look to be around the same age.� Itachi demanded while looking at Sasuke expectantly.

�Well hello to you too dearest brother. Why yes, you�ll be happy to know the meeting went quite well despite the fact you stranded me alone at the last second. Thank you so much for inquiring. Oh, and just if case you�re curious, Mr. Chisato has not one, but four daughters of marrying age and he kindly informed me that I could have my pick of the litter.� Sasuke growled out irritably.

�There, there little brother,� Itachi placated mockingly, �How was he supposed to know that you prefer to be the bride?� He smirked at his little brother flushed in what was sure to be equal parts anger and embarrassment. �Now about Mr. Uzumaki� what do you know?�

Sasuke fought the urge to strangle Itachi with the computer cord and dump the body where no one would ever find it. He even had the perfect spot picked out. �Please explain to me again why I put up with you; you asshole?�

�Because you love me even when you hate me. Now pay attention to the matter at hand.� Itachi sat down on the chair opposite Sasuke and looked at his brother while trying not to tap his foot impatiently.

Sasuke leaned back in his chair while trying to place the name. Naruto Uzumaki� the name did sound familiar but he couldn�t quite place where from. Sasuke furrowed his brow in contemplation.

Oh yeah, now he remembered, �Yea, I remember him. He was a blond, scrawny, shrimp. Definitely a prankster� always making trouble and he got into fights often. He came off a bit as a slacker but I saw his grades once and they were good� really good. We didn�t run in the same circles at school but he was�err...noticeable. He suddenly dropped out and disappeared midway through high school and I haven�t heard anything about him since then.�

While it was true that Sasuke and Naruto hadn�t exactly been friends in school, Sasuke had always noticed the other and somewhat envied him for his freedom. It could also be said that school became distinctly more boring place after the blond had vanished.

Sasuke regarded Itachi closely. What could Uzumaki possibly have done to make Itachi this interested in him? �Why do you want to know about Naruto?�

�Why did he drop out? Where did he go? Do you know anything more?� Itachi evaded the question; he needed to know more about the dirt rat in order to beat him. There was also the added bonus that if he found out all there was to know about the blond than maybe he�d be able to get him out of his mind.

Either way, Itachi was having a difficult time fitting Sasuke�s description of small, scrawny shrimp together with the tall, fit, muscular sexgod that he had encountered. Then again, people could change a lot in a decade.

�I don�t really know anything more, except for the rumors of course.� Sasuke said softly.

�What rumors?� Itachi sat up a bit straighter in his chair.

�You haven�t heard them?� Sasuke asked, looking shocked.

�Let�s not forget that I spent most of my childhood at that charming boarding school that daddy dearest chose for me,� even the deaf would be able to hear the sarcasm that now saturated Itachi�s words, �and after boarding school I went straight off to university.� Itachi stood up abruptly and walked over to the window to peer out into the blue sky. He did not have any fond memories from that school and it was just one more reason in his endless collection that he had to dance merrily on his father�s grave.

Sasuke ignored the words about their father. It was a sore topic for both of them and he didn�t want to agitate his brother any further, �Well the rumors are that our highly esteemed golden child of Konoha, as well as our present mayor, had a little side adventure when he was just married.�

Itachi�s left brow arched upwards in evident disbelief, �Mayor, as in Minato Namikaze, the man who can do no wrong; the very same mayor who is from one of the oldest families in Konoha?�

�The one and the same. As the rumor goes, Minato met Kushina Uzumaki, a seventeen year old high school student when he returned to Konoha from law school. It was quite the scandal back then. He had recently married some debutant heiress and was fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the political circuit. Anyway, Kushina got pregnant but Minato never acknowledged the child as his and Kushina never asked for anything. Nonetheless, the child grew up with the same blond hair and blue eyes as Minato making it so the rumors have never stopped but no one dares to say anything directly to Minato�s face.

�What about Naruto�s mother then?� Itachi questioned, sitting himself back down in the chair he�d just vacated.

�Kushina raised the boy alone but she died of cancer when Naruto was just fourteen. He spend two years as a ward of the state before he got emancipated. It was right after that when he quit school and left Konoha.� Sasuke explained.

�If Naruto really is the mayor�s son, it could be a huge deal. Minato has never had any children in his marriage which would make Naruto the heir to the Namikaze name and fortune.� Itachi mind buzzed. The blond was growing more and more interesting with every new detail he discovered.

�True, but as I said, Minato has always denied being the kid�s father and Kushina signed the birth certificate with father unknown. Nothing has ever been verified.� Sasuke replied. �Now will you please tell me why we�re having this discussion?�

�Naruto Uzumaki is the dirt rat in charge of the excavation on our land. Not only that, but he says the site is huge.� Itachi leaned his head on his hands and looked over at his brother. �We need to get him to back off, and back off quickly, if we�re to have any chance of getting our tower built.�

Sasuke remembered the blond�s personality quite clearly from school; he had been stubborn as hell and never, ever, gave up when he was fighting for something. �Well good luck big brother�I leave this problem all up to you.�

Itachi glared fiercely at his pain-in-the-ass brother which only seemed to cause Sasuke�s smirk to widen.

oo�oo�oo

Naruto stood with his hands on his hips and regarded the small apartment complex. It had been painted a loud turquoise color but the paint had faded and worn over time. While the whole place looked a bit run down, Naruto liked it. It had character and had a homely feel to it. The landlord seemed nice enough and, most importantly, they allowed pets so Bo wouldn�t be a problem.

�What do you think Bo?� Naruto looked down at the dog who sat next to him, �This is our new castle; do you think we�ll like it here?�

Bo looked at him with unreadable brown eyes before leaving Naruto�s side lifting his leg in order to do his business against his next door neighbor�s rosebushes.

�I�d say that�s a yes then.� Naruto said and hurriedly grabbed Bo�s collar and dragged him away before they were seen. Naruto would prefer it if he got the chance to move in before he was tossed out.

Naruto noted that it took almost no time at all to move their stuff inside and unpack everything. That fact made him a bit sad but there was no point in having lots of stuff when you moved from one place to another. Things only got in the way.

�What do you say Bo�should we splurge and actually buy some furniture to go with this place?� After all, Naruto had come home to stay and no haughty, spoiled, Uchiha would convince him otherwise, no matter how gorgeous he was.

Bo never even bothered to look up at his roommate�s question. He just continued snoring in the old sofa that had been left by the previous tenant. It was the ugliest shade of brownish green that Naruto had ever seen but Bo had fallen in love with it at first sight and was now sprawled out belly up across the sunken in pillows.

�Maybe you�re right. We�ve worked hard today and could use some rest.� Naruto looked at the snoring and drooling dog fondly before he walked to the tiny bedroom and got a bright yellow and orange blanket; he then walked back to the sofa and pushed the huge Dane further back against the backrest. �Move over you big oaf.� Naruto lay down next to Bo and wrapped them both in the blanket. Burying his nose in Bo�s warm fur, he quickly started to doze off, dreaming of smooth pale skin and eyes so dark you could drown in them.

oo�oo�oo

Itachi placed the phone back in its cradle with a little more force than necessary. He had tried to call his sources at the mayor�s office but every single one of them was extremely tight lipped and advised him to just leave it alone. That only made Itachi more determined to find out the truth. Did Minato Namikaze have something to do with Naruto being offered this job?

The talk with the council hadn�t made him any happier. They just spouted off some crap about Naruto working for the state and cultural treasures. It was still Uchiha land and Itachi wanted his building damn it. Couldn�t the old geezers see that development was the only way to make sure that Konoha would stay on the map as a financial center? What was in the past was history and should stay there. What was buried and abandoned had been so for a reason and Itachi could not see any sense in digging it up again.

Itachi ran his hands through his ponytail again, it was a familiar movement and it calmed him. Why had Naruto left ten years ago and what had he been doing while he was away? Maybe a more important question was, why had he decided to return now?

The CEO sighed irritably. The dirt rat had dug his way underneath his skin like a tick and Itachi couldn�t get him out. His mind was filled with thoughts and images of the blond that had no place there. Itachi couldn�t afford to think about eyes bluer than the sky or arms that made a person drool� No, he needed to defeat the blond; learn what made him tick and get rid of him in the most efficient, and permanent, way possible. That was what was best for Uchiha Corp and that was what was best for him. Itachi lived for his business and for his brother; there wasn�t room for anything or anyone else.

There had to be some way to bend that enticing and infuriating blond to his will and Itachi wouldn�t rest until he�d found it.

oo�oo�oo

Naruto woke to the sound of someone loudly pounding on his door. Bo, ever the guard dog, didn�t even twitch in his sleep. Naruto groaned, already missing his rapidly retreating sleep, and crawled up from the couch. He ran his fingers through his hair quickly, only succeeding at making it stick out even more than it had moments ago.

�Alright, alright, I�m coming� keep your pants on. On second thought, if you happen to be a gorgeous, pale, long-haired brunet, drop the pants immediately.� Naruto chuckled at his own joke as he made his way to the door and opened it.

It was a brunet on the other side, but sadly not the one Naruto had met earlier in the day and already had wet dreams about. This brunet had short unruly hair and a wicked, feral grin. He was shadowed by a large white dog that almost matched Bo in size.

�Kiba! Dude�what are you doing here?� Naruto gawked at his childhood friend in surprise.

A rustling sound was heard from inside the apartment and Bo came walking out while stretching his spotted body. The dog completely ignored the brunet and instead immediately set his sights on the other dog, watching the other with a look of keen interest.

Kiba grinned at him. �I heard a rumor you were back in town. After that, you weren�t exactly hard to track down, especially not when I spotted your truck. I can�t believe you�re still driving that piece of shit around.� The large dog beside Kiba came forward to sniff at Naruto. �Oh, this is Akamaru by the way. He�s from our kennel.�

Naruto scratched the huge fuzz-ball behind the ears and earned a satisfied grunt.

�Don�t make fun of old Bertha. She purrs like a kitten and has taken me where ever I�ve needed to go.� Naruto said with a smile, tossing a glance at his old red truck that consisted of more rust than paint these days.

Bo started to slowly walk towards the other dog, his legs stiff and everything about his features sort of drooping.

�Um�Dude what�s wrong with your dog?� Kiba looked a bit freaked as he pulled Akamaru closer to him. �He ill or something?�

Naruto sighed. �No, unfortunately that�s his I�m too sexy for my shirt expression. He�s making the moves on your doggie.�

Bo continued his weird slither towards Akamaru who was starting to look as freaked as his master.

�B-but Akamaru is a boy.� Kiba looked absolutely flabbergasted.

Naruto couldn�t help but snicker at his friend�s expression. �Yeah Bo doesn�t care all that much about gender� or species for that matter. If it�s big enough for him to love, he�ll try to love it. Besides� we were both boys to if I remember correctly� Naruto winked at Kiba and almost snorted when he saw the rough looking brunet blush.

�Yeah� well, that was a long time ago and we were just kids�. and drunk!� Kiba rambled as his eyes darted around avoiding contact with Naruto�s.

�Relax you freak. I�m just messing with ya. You are a good friend Kiba but I have to say that my taste has evolved a bit in ten years.� Naruto grinned.

�Pfft, like you�re anyone�s prince charming either.� Kiba pouted but his eyes were laughing as he punched the blond on the shoulder.

Naruto rubbed at his now sore upper arm. Damn Kiba could still hit like a bulldozer. He was slightly amazed at just how easy it was to start their bantering back up after a decade of not seeing one another face to face. It wasn�t until this moment that Naruto realized how much he had really missed his friend.

Akamaru, however, didn�t seem so happy. He had had enough of Bo�s prancing and let out a warning growl, bared teeth and all. Bo�s tail wilted a bit at the not so veiled threat, causing him to back up a few steps but his love-struck expression never faltered.

�Come on Kiba, let me get you something to drink and we can catch up�Your dog�s a big boy; he can take care of himself. Besides, Bo is a coward, one bark and bite from your pooch and he�ll back off, I promise.�

Naruto walked back into the apartment and left the door open so that Kiba and the dogs could follow.

They spent a couple of hours in comfortable companionship, teasing and catching up on the happenings in Konoha since Naruto had left. Talking about who was with whom and who lived where. It was an easy way of passing the time and Naruto was happy to reconnect with one of his oldest friends.

Walking over to his refrigerator, he pulled out a beer from the still bare interior and tossed it to Kiba before walking back and sinking down into the couch. Bo still stared at Akamaru who had turned his back on the other dog and hidden his head in his fluffy paws; Bo seemed to think the large, white backside was an attractive view though as he silently and stealthily crawled towards Akamaru on his stomach one inch at a time.

�Um� Kiba, do you know who�� Naruto stopped abruptly and slipped into silence before fidgeting with his beer can. �Do you know who moved into me and my mom�s old place?� he asked quietly, refusing to lift his eyes to meet the brunet�s.

Kiba looked sympathetically at the blond, knowing how much the subject hurt his friend, before he nodded slowly. �Yeah I know. Shizune and Raidou lives there now with their kids. They�ve kept the garden you know; Shizune even tends to the apple tree.�

Naruto closed his eyes in an attempt to regain his composure and leaned back against the headrest. �Good,� He whispered. �There should be children there� She would be happy knowing that someone is living there and taking care of it.� Naruto pushed the sadness that had surfaced back to the corner of his mind where he kept it hidden and gave his friend a grin.

�So how did it go with that girl you had a crush on before I left? Did you ever work up the courage to ask her out?� Naruto asked, not wanting to talk about depressing topic anymore.

Kiba looked a bit embarrassed and scratched the back of his head. �I might have eventually� if my mother hadn�t lost her mind one day and married Hiashi Hyuuga.�

Naruto looked at him with gaping mouth. �Dude, she became your sister! That�s harsh man.� Naruto couldn�t help it. He tried not to laugh, he really did, but it was just so damn funny! He burst out laughing so loudly that he ended up scaring Akamaru causing the large dog to shoot up and hide behind Kiba. Bo shot him a sour look; he had just been close enough to pounce.

�Shut up! It�s not funny!� Kiba complained. The complaint didn�t pull much weight, however, since there was a smile pulling at the burnet�s lips as well.

�It is funny bro�I remember how you mooned over her for months and then she became your sister� it�s down right hilarious.�

�Thanks buddy, it�s nice to know you feel my pain.� Kiba grumbled as Naruto wiped tears of delight from his crystal blue eyes. �Speaking of Hinata, she works in the mayor�s office now and she told me that Itachi Uchiha called around asking all sorts of questions about you�You�ve been back what, a day? Yet somehow, you�ve already managed to piss off the local power house. That must be a new record even for you.�

�What?� All signs of previous laughter instantly disappeared from the blonds features. �Why did he call the mayor? That office has nothing to do with the excavation or the permits; it�s the state who decides.�

Kiba shrugged. �I only know what Hina told me.�

Naruto was fuming. That damn Uchiha had crossed the line and Naruto would make sure he knew it. Glancing at the clock on his DVD player, he mentally cursed when he realized that it was too late to go and rip the gorgeous bastard�s head off right now.

After coming to that conclusion, he forcefully pushed his feelings of anger and disappointment to the back of his mind so that he could continue having fun with his old friend� a friend who had never seen him as anyone other than who he was.

Naruto laughed and cracked jokes when Kiba told him about Neji�s reaction to getting him as a cousin. He could just imagine the snotty brunet�s reaction when he found out that Kiba was becoming a member to his esteemed family, even if it was only through marriage. No matter how much he tried, however, the tight knot that had formed in his stomach refused to disappear.

A sharp bark quickly followed by a loud yelp rang through the air and Bo came to Naruto�s side like a shot from a cannon. Akamaru growled threateningly at him from across the room. �Shot down huh buddy?� Naruto stroked the big dog across the back and behind his ear. �I know the feeling.� He added quietly so only the Dane heard him.

oo�oo�oo

It was barely past seven in the morning but Itachi had already been at the office a good hour. Work and the stock-market waited for no one. Besides, his sleep had been� worried at best � filled with blue eyes, muscular legs that seemed to never end, and broad strong shoulders. After waking from these vivid dreams, he had felt as if he knew how it felt to run his fingers through those sunshine locks and that was bothersome. Itachi didn�t even like the dirt rat. He was just another obstacle to be overcome � not someone to dream naughty dreams about. Naughty being the understatement of the year; fuck, Itachi had never had those kinds of dreams before� not even as a hormonal teenager.

Sighing heavily, Itachi rubbed his eyes in frustration and tried to get his focus back to the numbers that were flashing on the computer screen. Even now the annoying blond took up his thoughts. This was completely unacceptable and had to stop� immediately.

Suddenly, he heard raised voices in the hallway right before his heavy office door was thrown open with such force that Itachi feared for its hinges. The very same object that seemed to occupy all his thoughts marched in looking very much like a vengeful angel. Itachi felt his mouth salivate at the sight and cursed himself silently for it. He nodded to his worried secretary that it was okay and then turned his attention back to the blond; it didn�t take a genius to see that Uzumaki was pissed.

Naruto walked forward and slammed his palms down on the polished desk. �What could possibly make you think it�s okay to make phone-calls around town, trying to draw out information about me?� Naruto demanded, his voice coming out in a low hiss.

�It�s always wise to get to know your enemies.� Itachi replied calmly and flipped his ponytail over his shoulder.

�Ememies? What fucking planet are you from? I was hired to conduct an excavation and that�s what I�ll do. I don�t care about money, or power, or any of your other prissy little concerns.� Naruto straightened to his full height before pacing agitatedly around the office like a caged animal. �I can understand you wanting to fight me on the dig and in a weird way, I sort of even respect that, but nothing gives you the right to make inquiries about my personal life.�

�What did you expect?� Itachi asked harshly, �You show up out of nowhere, act like I�m supposed to be pleased by the discovery of some ancient ruins, and then tell me that I can�t continue with my building. Of course I will check you out, and I have to say, after hearing the rumors, one must wonder how you came to get this job� it�s the first excavation you�ve ever been in charge of, isn�t that right?� Itachi�s eyes were dark and unreadable as he kept them locked on the blond.

Naruto stopped pacing abruptly, his body becoming deathly still. It looked almost as if electricity was sparking around him and Itachi vaguely wondered what would happen if he leaned over the desk and lick that smooth caramel skin. Would he get a shock?

�How dare you?� Naruto hissed, running his hand through his hair in a nervous gesture, causing the strands to stand on end and simultaneously making Itachi�s fingertips itch to smooth it down. �I lived with those rumors all my life, my mom was treated like a harlot because of them. That man is not my father and I have never even met the asshole.� He walked closer and leaned over the desk again. �I�ve worked hard to get where I am and I�ve earned it all on my own. I�ve never relied on my name to get places.�

Naruto was pissed as hell but even with fresh anger coursing through his veins, he still found that he wanted to jump across the desk and pounce on the other man, rip his hair out of that strict ponytail, and see what he would look like with kiss swollen lips. This was bad� He needed to get out of there before he did something insanely stupid. He took a few hurried steps back before the temptation of tasting those full lips outweighed his common sense.

�You keep that fine ass of yours out of my private life from now on you, or I swear I�ll kick your ass into next year.� Naruto turned on his heel mentally kicking himself for that slip of the tongue.

Itachi stayed silent as he watched the blond stride out of his office with wide steps and slam the door behind him with such force that the paintings on the wall rattled. He leaned back in his plush leather chair and but his fingers together under his cheek.

So the annoying dirt rat thought he had a fine ass�

A wicked grin spread across his almost delicate featured and a light lit up his eyes.

He could work with that.

TBC�

AN - There you have it, second one down. More is coming and I would really love to hear what you think. Thank you for reading.
