Chapter 7 �Fly Me to the Moon�

Naruto smiled as he watched the three sleeping chibi all cuddle around each other like kittens, on the spare futon in Kyuubi�s room. The three boys had, had a very long and busy day. They were asleep as soon as their little heads hit the pillow. Kyuubi had entertain the shy Uchiha twins with a puppet show using the small theater that Pein had built him and puppets that Sasori had made. Then they helped Iruka-sensei pop popcorn to string on their little tree. They giggled as they would watch Kakashi-sensei try and sneak popcorn off the string to give it to them eat, only to get caught by the younger teacher. Naruto and Sasuke worked in the kitchen making dinner well Naruto did, as the Uchiha had never touch a stove in his life was ordered to chop veggies for the salad.

After dinner they all played twister in the living room. Naruto even got Sasuke to play after much protest from the raven. And when the elder Uchiha went into shock over losing for the first time in his life, Tobi and Obito ran up to him and hugged him telling him �it okay you a good nii-chan�. Kakashi on the other hand was not so lucky. He lost more than a game of twister to Iruka. In fact he almost lost his manhood when he suggested the game would better with no clothes on. This led to Sasuke and Naruto ushering the chibi out of the room to get them ready for bed.

�Come on Dobe let them sleep.�

�Teme.� Naruto glared at the raven teen before turning on the night light and closing the door. �You know, Teme, you�re not that terrible with kids, but don�t quit your day job.�

�Hn.� Sasuke glared as he followed Naruto to the living room. The game had been cleaned up and their two teachers were sitting on the couch as far away from each other as the furniture would allow.

�Are the boys asleep?� Iruka asked as he slipped his hot coco.

�Yes. They couldn�t keep their eyes open no matter how hard they tried.� The blond teen smiled before taking a seat on the floor. He didn�t even realize he was leaning against Sasuke�s legs while he sat in his over-stuffed arm chair. �Since we�re all going to the big Uchiha Gala I think we might have to car pool.�

�Yes, I think it would be best it�s too cold for you to drive you bike up the hills.� The scared teacher reasoned.

�Well then since the H2 has more room I�ll take the Dobe and Kyuubi with me and the twins and Iruka-sensei can follow us with Kakashi-sensei in his car.�

�That sounds fine Teme what time should we head out?�

�Early. No doubt mother will want you and Kyuubi fitted for Tuxedoes.�

�That is another reason I don�t go to your parties.� Naruto growled gulping down his coco. Neither teen gave Iruka a chance to protest the driving arrangements as they had changed the subject to fashion or the lack there of.

�Either way we should plan to leave early. Is that alright with you two?� Sasuke smirked at his teachers.�

�That will be fine as long as it�s not too early I need my beauty sleep.� Kakashi stretched out on the couch landing his head on Iruka�s lap.

�It�s fine.� The blushing English teacher squeaked. The rest of the evening was spent quietly chatting till the hallway clock softly chimed that it was 11, and then Iruka woke up the sleeping Kakashi and dragged him up stairs to their apartment leaving Naruto all alone with Sasuke.

�Naruto.� Sasuke said catching the blond attention. �What happen to your parents?�

Naruto sighed as he turned to the shrine where Sasuke was standing. It had been only three years but it still felt like yesterday. Losing both of them and suddenly becoming a single parent to your baby brother. At first he didn�t say anything but just walked over to where the Uchiha stood and gazed upon the picture of his smiling parents. Even now it still hurt to see their picture. He wanted to shove the picture away so it couldn�t remind him that his parents were gone, but it would have been unfair to Kyuubi. His brother was practically a baby when they died he wouldn�t have been able to remember them or that they loved him like Naruto did.

�Why do you want to know?�

�I want to know more about you. I told you I want to the Mystery that is Naruto Uzumaki; to find out who is the man behind the Dobe mask. I�m not the only one who wants to know either. Our friends want to know why you hide yourself from them you never hang out or go to their parties they care about you.�

�What about you Sasuke? Do you care or is this just one more thing to torment me with, just one more way to make my life a living hell.�

�I� Naruto� I�m not good with words or feelings but I know I feel something for you. I don�t want to hurt you.� The raven teen ran his hands through his hair trying to find the words to these emotions he was feeling. �I never meant for any of this to happen.�

�What things to happen?�

�The hate, the constant fighting and the hurting. I didn�t want to make you hate me, I didn�t want for you to think I was tormenting you. I just� I don�t know��

�What? I don�t understand! Sasuke what are you trying to say?� Naruto was pleading he was confused and torn as the emotions swirled around with in him.

�Since that moment when we first met� When we kissed�� this was why Uchihas did not show emotions they were too confusing and complicated. �Something happened. It was like an awaking inside of me. I was confused by it, hell, I still am. I wanted to feel it again, but I didn�t know how. Then the whole rivalry thing started you were stubborn and I didn�t like the confusion so I did things to grab you attention. You responded by fighting back and I kept it up because I don�t like to lose.�

�Neither do I.� Naruto blushed looking away from the Uchiha. �I can�t remember what I felt then Sasuke and I�m sorry; I was going through a lot of shit back then to even think straight. In a way I�m glad for our rivalry, because you gave me a reason to work hard at being the best. If I can be the best at school then I can be the best for my little brother and raise him like my parents would have.�

�Look Naruto, might not understand my feelings very well but I do know that I care. Since that moment we�ve been drawn to each other and the feeling is not going to go away and I don�t want it to. Let me in help me to understand why we are feeling this way.�

�Fine.� The blond sighed before taking a seat on the couch. �Have a seat Teme this is going to take awhile.�

Naruto waited for Sasuke to sit down before taking a photo album out of the side table drawer. It still hurt to look at them even though he had done it a thousand times with Kyuubi so he would remember them. He opened the book and flipped through the pages quickly till he came to a page of the happy family of four in front of a large white two story house with orange trim. The father stood tall and proud with one arm around his red-headed wife holding a red-headed infant while his other hand was clasped on the shoulder of his eldest son a with blond hair and blue eyes that radiated happiness.

�This was the day we brought Kyuubi home. Ero-Sennin took this picture said we should be on a postcard. That was where I grew up it was the house my dad bought for my mom just before they married. He wanted to paint the whole house orange but mom wouldn�t allow it in the end she let him trim the house in orange shut to get him to shut up and stop whining about it.� Naruto�s eyes seen to get lost in a daze as he dove deeper into his past.

�We were just your average run of the mill family. My Dad was a lawyer for the Hyuuga Law firm and worked in the branch offices in midtown. He was one of their best litigators and was in line for partnership the year Kyu was born, but he declined as he didn�t want his time taken away from me and my brother. My mother worked from home she was a web designer for some of the major companies in Fire Country. This way she could be a stay at home mom and still have a career. I want to be just like them you know. I wanted to be smart just like My mom and be a great lawyer just like my dad but to do that I had to go to a better school.� Sasuke watched as the boy next to him became sadder with each passing picture they looked at.

�So I applied for the scholarship program a Konoha when I was 10 because the waiting list was extremely long. I worked my ass off studying maintaining a 4.0 grade average at my public school just trying to keep up to Konoha�s standards so they would let me in. I knew that once every few years they took scholarship students but very few were ever able to keep up their grades with the intense workload, but I was determined to make it. My best friend, Kisame, thought I was insane trying to get in but he cheered me on and even helped me study for entrance exams. Kisame live a few houses down from us he was like an older brother started college he the same year I took exams I spent as much time as I could with him because he gave me his practice college entrance exams to study from. All that Studying came with a heavy price. I lost time with my mom and dad, I lost Kyu�s first steps and first words because I was either at Kisame�s or the library or school doing extra work to make my resume look good for Konoha. I always thought �I�ll make it up to them later.� back then I would have given anything to get in to Konoha. I wasted four years studying and working on my homework thinking that they would always be there and I could spend time with them once I was accepted.

�But the truth was I would never get time the time back and my parents weren�t immortal. The night I got my acceptance letter was the happiest and the most hated night of my life. I had rushed into the house after getting the mail and seeing that I got a letter from Konoha that I woke Kyuubi up from his nap. I was so excited and so nervous that I had my dad open the letter and read it for me. Mom stood behind me holding Kyu as we waited for my dad to tell us if I got in or not. He was silent at first with this grim expression then he looked at me for a second before he shouted �YOU GOT IN!� I was in pure shock for about 10 seconds before my mom started screaming �You did it!� over and over. I started jumping around scream �I�M GOING TO KONOHA!� Kyuubi started laughing probably thought that we were all insane.

�Dad said we should celebrate all my hard work and then he took us out to Kampai�s grill you where they cook your food in front of you and do the onion volcano thingy. Well any ways after dinner we went to Cold Stone and he bought me a huge waffle sundae. It was the best night of my life we were all so happy I never wanted that moment to end but it did. Kyuubi started fussing and it was getting late so we called it a night and started heading back. I hadn�t notices how dark and cloudy the skies had gotten until started raining as we drove home. The closer we got to the house the harder it rained. We were at the stop light a block from home when a drunken cabby plowed straight into our car. My parents were killed instantly because in his confusion the driver stepped on the gas instead of the break causing the impact to be fatal. Kyuubi was car seat was right behind the driver�s seat so when we were hit his little legs were pinned between the seats. I unbuckled my seatbelt and was screaming at my parents demanding they wake up the car then caught on fire and Kyuubi was crying. I had to free him then I could help my parents that when I saw the lights of a car coming up from behind us. It was raining so hard they didn�t see the crash and slammed right into the back of the car, shatter our windows. I threw myself over Kyuubi to protect him from the glass but that second hit pushed his seat further into the driver�s seat breaking his left leg. The roof of the car collapsed and hit me in the head.

�I blacked out and woke up in the ER with bandage on my face and tubes and wired were hooked up to me. The Doctor came up to me and informed me that My Parents were dead and that Kyuubi was in Surgery because the glass from the first impact cut up his little face real bad. He asked if there was any one they could call for us because if there wasn�t they would have to call social services. I told them to call my godfather, Jiraiya; it was away for me to buy time until I could make a phone call.�

�Jiraiya-sensei is your Godfather?!�

�I know it�s hard to believe Ero-Sennin being a father of any kind. Baa-Chan on other hand is a decent godmother when she� not drinking.� The blond laughed as he pointed to a recent birthday picture of him standing between two of the Sannin siblings.

�I can�t believe it! If Tsunade-sensei is your godmother why did you have to go through the selection process they could have just accepted you.� Sasuke�s mind was reeling with the facts that weren�t adding up. Who was Naruto? Everything the boy said or did just brought up more questions.

�I wanted to get in on my own merit. Konoha has a governors board, they oversee the running and admittance of the school. If my god parents vouched for my I would have been an automatic �IN� they have even waved the fee for me to go. I didn�t want that and I told them not to say that we were related. I wanted proved to them and my parents that I could reach my dreams with no help from anyone. Even in the hospital I didn�t want their help I knew when My Parents died it was up to me to take care of my brother.

�After Jiraiya got to the hospital I demanded that he give me his cellphone because Hospital wouldn�t give me a phone. They said to wait for my guardian to take care of everything and rest. That was their biggest mistake to underestimate me. I knew that if we were put into social services then they would separate us and I would lose my brother probably forever. I called my dad�s boss and I started work on getting my emancipation papers. Once I had those I could work on gaining custody of Kyuubi. I also started filing law suit against the driver because the bastard walked away without a scratch and I lost half of my family in that crash. Turns out the guy had been from a rich family disowned because of his drinking. So while he went to jail of manslaughter his family paid a settlement to avoid the scandal from becoming public. It took one week for my papers to go through, by then I was practically chain to Kyuubi�s bedside as he was in a coma from the stress on his little body, and I refused to leave him alone.

�My father and mother had some life insurance but we wouldn�t be getting a scent until all investigations were over. So I sold my family home and most of the stuff in the house to pay for them to be buried and the funeral. Then I moved all that I could into Rasengan. I had never been so happy that Dad�s vacation fund came in the form of an apartment building. This place allows me and Kyu a place to live and a stable income so we can both go to school. About one month later the Cab Company finally settled out of court because I made sure the press slaughtered them in news. They were losing business and it was in there best interest for them to settle and as a condition they had to pay for all the hospital cost for me and my brother. By then Kyuubi had finally woken up and wanted our mom and dad; he didn�t understand what was going he was scared and confused all I could do was sit there and hold him.� Naruto couldn�t hold the tears in any longer; his heart was bleeding again at the lost of his Parents all over again.

Sasuke was at a loss of what to do Uchihas were not emotional they bottled everything in until they burst in the privacy of their room away from prying eyes. The raven couldn�t just let the boy suffer like that so he awkwardly put his arm around the blonde�s shoulders and jump slightly when he felt the smaller boy latch on to him crying in his chest. Sasuke hold Naruto tightly as if trying to help the boy rein in his emotions. Naruto was lost in the past he hadn�t realized he was clutching on to his rival he just wanted to feel the warmth in the arms that held him. Soon the sobs turned to soft sniffles and the pain dulled in his heart. They sat there in the quiet for what felt like forever before Naruto spoke again.

�Social works came and tried to take my brother from the hospital but I had already file papers that stated he was to stay in the hospital pending the outcome of my custody hearing because he still had a broken leg. Since he was so young I got the doctors to agree that he should not be moved. It took a month and a half for their investigations interviews, witnesses and court appearances before the Judge declared me a fit guardian for Kyuubi. The trial wasn�t publicized thanks to my Godparents it would save me a lot of grief trying to explain why I was on TV to a two-year-old. The day I brought him home was the happiest and most nerve wrecking moment of my life because once my godparents left Rasengan it would be up to me to take care of Kyu by myself. I thought I would be panicking and calling Shizune, who is a nurse that lives upstairs, every five minutes, but when Kyuubi smiled at me once I tucked him into bed, all my fears melted away. Since then I have made my life all about my brother and making sure he grows up happy and healthy.� A soft smile bloomed on the whiskered teens face as he turned to the last page of the album staring at the picture of him and Kyuubi after the Christmas pageant. Kyuubi was still dressed in his reindeer costume and Naruto hugging him from behind and both laughing at something happening behind the camera.

�This is what Itachi meant when he said I would crush more than just Naruto�s heart. He has more to think about then just himself, he has his brother. Would I have been able to do the same if the situation had been reversed? It would be funny if Itachi had been the baby brother.� As Sasuke tried to make sense of his feelings of awe and admiration for the younger teen he didn�t notice that Naruto had fallen asleep. Sighing Sasuke lifted the smaller boy into his arms and carried him into the bedroom.

�I don�t know what happens now but I know that I won�t leave you alone after this Dobe. I�ll protect you from the pain of the past and the fear of the future, you�re no long alone.�

Ibiki Morino was a superior ex-FBI agent, a good cop and a proud father. His daughter Sukora was a bright talented independent girl that had over came her blindness to achieve her dreams. They lived in three bedroom apartment since Sukora was seven years old getting away from the capital and settling in to a quiet life here in Fire country. All seem to be perfect to Ibiki�s way of thinking, until last night when his daughter returned home with that �Boy�. The scarred man glared into his morning coffee as he thought of how happy she looked when they said on the front steps of Rasengan. He hadn�t been spying on them from his window he just happened to look out the window and see them. He watched to make sure Sukora wasn�t taken advantage of like any concern father would. He what really wanted to do was shout down at them saying that they were standing to close to one another. Just as he was about to give in to the desire someone beat him to it.

Flashback *~*~*~*~*~*~*

�Hey Emerald get a room! Unless Bug Boy likes to do it in the snow!� Sukora did a 180 and threw her cellphone at the head poking out of a first floor window.

�FOXIE SHUT THE HELL UP!� the blushing pianist shouted at the blond teen who fell back as the phone hit him in the face.

�Are you sure you�re blind you just hit the Dobe between the eyes.� Sasuke drawl as he leaned out the open window.

�Yes I�m sure. I was aiming for his voice. He�s so loud it�s hard not to miss.�

�Uchiha-san it is unexpected to find you here.� Shino greeted.

�I could say the same for you Aburame.�

�Yeah Shino what are you doing with my sister?� Naruto asked as he gave the shade wearing teen a mock glare; having just recovered from the killer cellphone and was now leaning out the window next to Sasuke.

�I was escorting this lovely lady home after spending an enjoyable evening with her. Then I plan to ask her if she would honor me with her company tomorrow at the Uchiha Gala.� Shino held his breath as Sukora turned back to him with a blush on her cheeks making her look even more angelic.

�I-I-I would love to go with you Shino-san.�

�Great Kora! Kyuubi and I will know someone at the stuffy Ball.�

�Dobe, it�s a Gala a refine gathering and it is not stuffy. And what do you mean �You won�t know anyone� our whole school will be there.�

�So you will be attending the festivities this year Naruto-san?�

�Teme roped me into going and bring my brother.�

�This is great Foxie, �cause if you�re going there is no way Papa can say no when I tell me I�m going.� Sukora beamed.

�Yeah, yeah now get inside Emerald before you freeze. You�ll see bug boy tomorrow.�

�He�s right I have go. Thank you for a wonderful day Shino-san and I�m looking forward to the Gala.� Sukora blushed and stood on her toes to kiss his wind chilled cheek.

�You�re standing too close Imooto.� The sudden appearance of the voice had all four teens startled.

�Yes, Pein-nii-san.� She growled wondering when the hell he got there and how long had he been standing there. �Call me Shino-san.� She whispered before jogging up the steps passing the overprotective big brother.

End Flash back *~*~*~*~*~*

These were the time when he wished Pein really was his son because the boy was really good at chasing away the annoying punks that thought they could date his little girl. Unfortunately the Aburame heir seemed unaffected by the metal pierced boy. He sighed as he listened to Sukora do her morning scales and arpeggios. He couldn�t deny it anymore she was growing up and (shutter) dating.

�Well at least Naruto will be there to chaperon.� He thought finishing the last of his coffee.

�Papa, Haku will be over in five to take me shopping. I want at least two credit cards for doing your public relations job!�

�She not only grew up looking like her mother but she�s a shopaholic just like her too.�

XxXxXxXxXxX

It was snowing again; Naruto sighed as he watching the city passed by through the car window. The morning had been slightly rushed because He insisted on visiting Shizune and Kabuto because they had just brought the baby home yesterday and he wanted to see her. The Yakushis were happy to see him and Kyuubi as well. They praised the whiskered chibi on his performance in the Christmas pageant and Naruto was mock scolded on the outfit he wore for his school performance. Which, he made a mental note to kill Ero-Sennin when he got a chance, for taping him. He felt a little bad for Sasuke since he wasn�t a people person and he didn�t know the couple like he did but the three chibis were in awe of the tiny baby and stayed huddled around her and Shizune.

Eventually they dragged the kids away with promises to visit them again. Now they were drive to the famed Uchiha Mansion. Sasuke notice that Naruto was uncharacteristically quiet. It seemed the closer they got to the manor the more subdued. The chibis in the back seat were laughing and chatting away. Well, kind of, as Kyuubi did the chatting and the Uchiha twins responded with an amused �Hn� and small smiles. They were Uchihas after all and in Sasuke�s opinion his cousins were out right laughing by Uchiha standards. It worried him that the Dobe wasn�t joining the whiskered chibi in his chatter and off key holiday singing.

�Dobe.�

�What is it Teme?�

�You okay?�

�I�m fine. Why wouldn�t I be?�

�You�re acting like a well mannered human being. It�s a pleasant yet disturbing change at the same time.�

�Teme.� Naruto Growled not wanting the chibis to pick up on his anger or his cursing. �I�m Fine. I just don�t think that going to the Gala is such a great idea.�

�It�s too late to turn back now, besides your friend is coming here with Aburame and that guy Pein looked less than happy with the idea.�

�Yeah, he and Sasori have a history. They are really half brothers their mom was the type to bounce around from guy to guy and brought home the worst jerks and Assholes in Fire country. Drunks, druggies, and beaters, you name it Konan would bring him home. One day she left and never came back but by then they were both practically grown so it was no lost for them. Since Sukora moved into Rasengan they have protected her who might hurt her like some of the bastards that hurt their mom. But I think something happened yesterday because he wasn�t trying to send Shino running. He just said they were to close, well for his comfort.�

�Maybe, but he still told you to watch them tonight.�

�I�ll keep an Eye on her but I know Shino�s a good guy. He has respect for her and is just as nervous about dating as Emerald is. I wouldn�t be surprised him they are each other�s first date.� Naruto smiled softy as the pulled up to the font of the enormous Mansion.

�We�re here Dobe.�

�Don�t call me that Teme.� He growled before getting out of the car noting Iruka�s car pull up behind them and park.

Once all the chibis and bags were unloaded the small group made their way in the house. Sasuke didn�t get a chance to put his key in the door before it was wrenched open by his smiling mother. Sasuke wonder if she had been standing there the whole time waiting for them to come home. Mikoto was smiling practically glowing as she ushered the group into the house. Servants came and took their things away and they were all moved to the large sitting room.

�Oh were all so happy you came Uzumaki-san as well as your Senseis. Madara was very pleased with how well you and your brother cared for Tobi-kun and Obito-kun.�

�Please call me Naruto, Uchiha-san. We were happy to have them with us. Kyuubi rarely gets to play with kids his own age. There are not a lot of kids in our neighborhood.�

�Then Naruto-san you must call me Mikoto. Since it is just us there is no need to be formal there will be plenty of that later this evening. I am surprised that you have not attended the Christmas Gala before now.�

�Well it�s just me and Kyuubi. We lost our parents three years ago and I don�t like to leave him with a sitter around the holidays.� Naruto said softly lowering his head slightly just enough to allow his hair to cover his eyes.

�I�m sorry for your loss Naruto-san. You are correct; one should always be with family during the holidays. That is what makes Christmas so wonderful because it is the one time of year that everyone stops their fast pace on the go lives and takes the time to get to know their family again and catch up on what they miss during the year. I�m happy that you both will be joining us for the Gala this year, it�s going to be marvelous!�

�Thank you Mikoto-san for having us.�

�Mother since Naruto has never been to a Gala neither he nor his brother owns a tuxedo. I thought he could borrow one of the ones we keep on hand for guests.�

�Oh my, well that won�t do.� Mikoto looked horrified at the thought that the Uzumaki�s didn�t own such important formal wear. She then waved the butler over to them. �Jugo Please take Naruto-san and Kyuubi-kun to the fitting room and have Shisui fit them with formal wear for tonight. Tell him to put it on my tab.�

�Hai.� Jugo bowed and lead the two brothers away neither of them really wanting to leave the group.

�Shisui mother? I didn�t know he was coming for the holidays.�

�He wasn�t but I him told if he was so chained to the fashion world to bring it with him. He is set up in the west wing models have been coming and going for a week now there is a big show New Year�s Eve.�

�Careful Otouto or our cousin will sweep Uzumaki-san away to the fashion world; he certainly has the body for it.� Itachi commented as he entered the sitting room and sat gracefully next his mother.

�I think I�ll show my guests their rooms now.� Sasuke glared at his older sibling. �Iruka-sensei Kakashi-sensei; follow me please. Tobi Obito let�s get you both to the nursery Kyuubi will meet you there when he�s done.�

�Hai.� The twins replied softy before running up to him and taking each of his hands in theirs. Sasuke smirked as he led his guest away from his stunned family members.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Kakashi pull at the bow tie around his neck. He really hated ties and this one was determined to strangle him. They had, had a pleasant afternoon with Mikoto Uchiha talking and help with last minute details for the gala till they were all shooed away upstairs to get ready. Now he was in a battle for his life against his tie.

�Kakashi-sensei do you have to wear the mask for the gala?� snorted a voice from the door way.

�But Sasuke-chan I wouldn�t be me then. I don�t want to lose my air of mystery in front of my students. Besides only Ruka-chan is allowed to see my handsome face.�

�Ruka-chan huh? How are things going with Ruka-chan?� mocked the Uchiha heir as he helped untangle his sensei from the demon tie.

�Not very well, he�s denying his feelings for me. We could be having mind blowing sex right now if he wasn�t so stubborn.� pouted the art teacher.

�Sensei, did you think that maybe it�s your teasing and joking manner that has him doubtful of your intentions.� Damn the Dobe was right Kakashi has no sense of decency. All the man could think of was his �Ruka-chan� and what he wanted to do to Ruka-chan. He wanted the same thing with his Dobe but he wasn�t going to jump him the first chance he got not matter how much he wanted to. He took a deep breath trying to find the right words as he tied Kakashi�s bowtie. �Iruka-sensei is a quiet and shy man with a high sense of propriety. Even if he does want to have mind blowing sex with you he�s not going because you�re so crude. He probably thinks that�s all you want him for and nothing more; I know I would.�

�I�� Kakashi look startled at Sasuke�s words. He wanted more with Iruka than just sex but he didn't know how to express it. He was the Orphan son of a wealthy clan who was left alone with his servants at the tender age of five after his father committed suicide unable to go on living after his mother who died of cancer. Jiraiya had been a friend of his father and would visit often to make sure he was alright unfortunately it seems that his bad habits had rubbed off on the young Hatake heir and was now affecting his efforts to be with Iruka. �I don�t know how. I want to be with Iruka more than anyone and I know I feel more for him than I do anyone else. I want him to be in my life for a long time but I don�t know how else to tell him.�

�Well for starters you anything that Jiraiya-sensei says is out. Being honest is a good start but don�t rush it. If Iruka sensei is anything Like the Dobe then he�s not going to believe until you start showing that your feelings are sincere.� Sasuke finished the tie.

�Dobe? You mean you and��

�It�s a possibility, but we�re not talking about me were talking about you.�

�Who�s the Sensei here you or me?� glared the masked art teacher.

�Obviously it�s not you. I�m having no trouble talking to my Dobe.� Snorted the Uchiha heir, as he led Kakashi to the main hall.

�Maa, you might be right. But I have say that you and Naruto isn�t that surprising. You both react to one another more than anyone else I�ve taught. I figured both of you would either kill each other or fuck each other�s brain�s out by the time graduation came around.� Kakashi smirked as Sasuke glared at him. �But you are right. I�ll try to break my bad habits. I will prove to Iruka I�m serious about him.�

If it wasn�t beneath an Uchiha, Sasuke would have rolled his eyes at the older man�s declaration. He did however wish his teacher well in his pursuit of the tan English teacher. His mother would say everyone needs love and happiness at Christmas. The question was did he and would the Dobe be willing to share it with him under the mistletoe.

XxXxXxXxXxX

It wasn�t long before the guests were pouring into the Ballroom and the Orchestra was playing and the three chibis were running around the dance floor charming the guests with Kyuubi leading the way. Naruto felt slightly uncomfortable in the formal surroundings but he was impressed at how good his tuxedo felt. Shisui Uchiha had to be the world�s greatest designer, it didn�t feel stuffy like a traditional suit it was relaxed stylish and fit him like a second skin. The blond teen wandered the room hoping to see Sukora and Shino but no such luck it was still early. Besides he figured Shino would have his hands full with picking her up with Zabuza and Ibiki waiting at the door.

�Interesting finding you here fox.�

�I could say the say for you Sasori.� Naruto turned to his band brother.

�I was invited by my date.�

�Your date?! Well now Kakuzu owes me money because he said you were too asexual to get a date.� The blond laughed. Kakuzu was a greedy accountant that loves money more than his own lover Hidan who was an environmentalist. Both of them were regulars at the caf� because it was cheap and had great food.

�I hope it was a large bet because I�ll be collecting half of it.�

�You�re cruel, String Man, so cruel.�

�I never said I wasn�t. Now I�ve explain why I�m here; care to explain why you�re here?�

�I was blackmailed with guilt into coming and staying the night by Teme and his family for taking care of him and his chibi cousins.�

�Ah� the raven. He�s the one who looked like he was going to kill Emerald for being you�re supposed girlfriend. I believe he likes you.� the red head drawled.

�Don�t know what�s going through his head, but I do know he was right about one thing.�

�Really? And what might that be?�

�Ever since that kiss in freshman, we�ve been drawn to one another. I don�t know what to feel I�m so confused. I have more important things to think about then dating at the moment right now.� Naruto ran a frustrated hand through his unruly golden locks.

�Fox, I�m not Emerald. She is the emotional one; I can give you only an observation. What I see you as having half a life. You have focused your life solely on the kitsune and he is old enough to see that you are missing something in your life. When Emerald asked him what he would like from Santa, the other day, do you know what he said?�

�No, she didn�t say anything thing when I picked him up.�

�I thought not. He said he wanted to see his Aniki smile a �True Smile�. Maybe the Raven is the key to a true smile.� Sasori could understand the younger boy�s confusion he had been going through some similar confusion unfortunately his date wouldn�t allow him to dwell on them and instead demanded he bring him to this formal party.

�Sasori-san! Un, why are you hiding over here?� a tall slender blond came running up to the Duo.

�Deidara Senpai?!� Naruto shouted wide eyed as he watched the Teacher�s assistant throw his arms around his band brother and hugged him.

�Naruto-kun! I didn�t see you there, un.�

�I can that you were too busy glomping my brother.�

�Sasori�san is your brother, Un?�

�Band brother but yeah. I take it you the date that dragged him here.�

�I didn�t drag him He asked me what I want to do for our first date and told him I wanted to be here.�Deidara beamed and Sasori blushed. Naruto had to bite the inside of his cheek too stop himself from laughing out loud.

�Fox why don�t you go find Kitsune I�m sure he�s getting into trouble. The bass player glared knowing how the younger blond was laughing at him.

�Yeah I�ll do that.� Naruto squeaked before vanishing into the crowd.

�Naruto-kun sure is a strange kid, un.� Deidara Said as they watched Naruto run off.

�You have no idea.�

Soon the ballroom was packed with everyone from Konoha and their families. People flowing on to the dance floor after the opening dance between Sasuke�s parents then Mikoto was passed to Itachi for a dance and then to Sasuke. Naruto thought they were all so graceful. He laughed as Kyuubi seemed to have snatched a plate full of sweets and was hiding under a table sharing his feast with Tobi and Obito.

�So, Dobe, are you going to hide in the corner all night?�

�Is that your way of asking me to dance Teme?� The whiskered teen asked coyly

�Like, I would risk my feet being broken by your clumsy attempts at dancing.�

�I can dance!�

�I don�t doubt that you can dance, I doubt you can do it well. I�ve seen you trip on air just walking through the hallways.� Sasuke smirked as he watched his Dobe�s cheeks flushed with anger. Then he suddenly got worried as Naruto suddenly got look of determination in his eyes.

�Excuse me Teme but I see my dance partner has arrived.� Pushing passed the taller boy Naruto made a beeline for a couple near the dance floor.

�This is so exciting I�ve never been to a formal party like this.� Sukora smiled as she held on to Shino�s arm swaying with music.

�I�m glad you are enjoying yourself you look lovely Sukora-san.� The shad wearing teen whispered. The Aburame heir had never been as afraid as when he went to pick up Sukora from her apartment. It seems as though everyone who lived in Rasengan was in the lobby ready to see her off or Kill him on sight he didn�t know which but he was leaning towards being killed when he saw huge guy in old army fatigues standing in the corner sharpening what looked like a Machete. Once he saw Sukora all thoughts of his appending death melted away. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He dress was black coming slightly past her knees with roses that seemed to dance around the she moved. Her hair was down with the side pinned back making her look elegant and her make was subtle bringing out the color of her eyes and the natural blush in her cheeks.
He didn�t really remember getting to the gala only that this was the happiest day of his life.

�Excuse me Bug boy, but I need to steal Emerald for a bit.� Suddenly Shino watched as his date was whisked away.

�Blue Eyes? What�s going on? Why did you take me away from my first date ever?!� Sukora growled at he adopted brother.

�Don�t worry Emerald I�ll give you back after I make Teme suffer. Wait right here.� Naruto kissed her cheek before going to the orchestra conductor and whispering something to him.

Sasuke was curious as what the Dobe was up to. Jealousy reared its ugly head again when he saw Naruto steal the blind girl from Shino�s arms. He watched as Naruto left the girl in the middle of the dance floor. It seems he wasn�t the only one confused Shino seemed to want to run out there and claim his date but refrained because Naruto had returned to her side.

�This is interesting Otouto.�

�Hn.� Sasuke tried to ignore Itachi but his brother was not easily deterred.

�I wonder why Uzumaki-san would rather dance with that girl than you. Surely he knows you�re a skilled dancer after the Uchiha family dance.�

�Hn.�

�I see you didn�t think he was just as skilled. Well he is determined to prove you wrong Sasuke. I hope you enjoy your feast of crow tonight.� Itachi smirked at the glared his brother was shooting him. It wasn�t a party till he needled his brother�s ego. Suddenly the music stop and the guest were wondering what was going on when they started to play a soft tango. The dance floor soon emptied to give room to the two teens on the dance floor.

Naruto held Sukora close turning and moving with her as if they were one person. They glide around the floor as if they were dancing on air. More than one mouth hung open as they watched the class klutz dance flawlessly around the ballroom. Mikoto was giddy at the performance she knew that Naruto was special the moment she met him. Across the room the Hyuuga clan, watched the teen twirl and dip his dance partner with the barest of smiles on their faces. Naruto had grown up to be a very strong independent young man and looked just like his father. They looked forward to the day when they would welcome him to the firm and have him show them what he was made of. Hinata and Neji were torn between gaping at their father�s small smiles and Naruto�s dancing. It seems that they weren�t the only ones with the jaw drop disease as they noticed all of their friends seemed too stunned to do anything else. Soon the song came to an end with one final dip and there was a brief silence before the hall erupted in applause.

�Uh� Thanks everyone.� Naruto laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head.

�Blue Eyes take a bow.� Sukora nudged.

�Oh right.� They bowed to each other and the audience before walking off the dance floor to their respective dates. Naruto basking in the glory of proving to Teme there was more to him then the clumsy blond everyone knew at school.

�Usuratonkachi, where did you learn how to dance like that?� Sasuke glared.

�I took lessons of course.�

�Blue Eyes be nice.� Sukora scolded the smart mouth teen.

�Fine, fine. Kurenai Sarutobi one of the people who live at Rasengan opened a dance studio five years ago but she need students to attract more students so I got roped into being one of her first students and my training partner was Sukora here.�

�Well Blue Eyes thank you for the dance, but now I�m finding myself parched Shino and me are going to find some drinks.� The Pianist smiled before latching on to her date and leaving the two boys on their own.

Neither made a move not knowing what to say or do, but Sasuke decided enough was enough and took the younger boy by the hand and led him on to the dance floor.
Naruto was about to protest but decide to just live the moment. Maybe Sasori was right and Sasuke was the key to a true smile. Either way he was going to enjoy is time in the strong arms that held him for as long as Kami allowed.

As the Party wore on Naruto found himself relaxing more and more. His friend all loved Kyuubi and his new best friends Tobi and Obito. The Girls cooed over then the guys gave them around of Nuggies and small punches to the arms. The one Kyuubi at taken a shine to was surprisingly Gaara. Kyuubi seemed to notice that Gaara wasn�t have a good time and made it his mission to cheer the youngest Sabaku up. He chatted to the older redhead about his Christmas play and even sang the song earning him a small smile from the quiet Gaara.

�Your bother is quite the charmer Uzumaki.� Temari commented quietly as she watched Gaara with the yawning chibi on his lap.

�What can I say it runs in the family.� Naruto smiled. �Now it looks like it�s time to get these chibis to bed.�

�I not s�eepy Aniki.� Kyuubi whined.

�We not too.� Tobi and Obito chorused from the arms of Sasuke and Sukora.

�Uzumaki-san is right it is time for all little boys to go to bed.� Itachi smirked as he walked up to the group of teenagers.

�I want my moon song!� Kyuubi pouted and Naruto blushed.

�Kyu I don�t think we can do that tonight. I will tomorrow.�

�No! You didn�t sing last night I want my moon song!� Glared the whiskered chibi.

�I don�t think you�re going to get out of singing it, Blue eyes.� Sukora giggled.

�What is this moon song, Un.� Deidara asked curiously.

�Yes, Fox what is the moon song?� Sasori drawled enjoying watching his younger brother squirm.

�Screw up String Man you know exactly what the Moon song is.�

�Sing it for us, Naruto you have a great voice!� Ino exclaimed.
.
�No. I sang for that blasted production I�m not singing in front of the whole school again.� Naruto�s protest made Kyuubi mad.

�I want my Moon song! No song, no sleep!� Kyuubi crossed his little arms and glared at his Aniki.

�No you have to sing Dobe. Or all of them are going to strike.� Sasuke smirked as Tobi and Obito mimicked Kyuubi�s stance.

�Don�t worry Blue eye Baby Doll and I will back you up.� The pianist grinned.

�Fine but this is the last time I ever do this in public.� Naruto threw his hands up in defeat and set off to the orchestra. Sasori and Sukora soon followed after she handed Obito to Itachi. For the second time that night the music stopped and they gathered around stage.

�Uh.. Merry Christmas Everyone. You might remember me from this year�s Kanoha Christmas Production, I�m Naruto Uzumaki. Now I know you all are wondering why I stopped the music.� The blonde teen laughed nervously. �Well tonight my Little brother refuses to go to bed without his song.�

�I WANT MY MOON SONG!� the crowd chuckled at Kyuubi�s cute shouts.

�So tonight for your enjoyment, with some help of my friends, Sukora and Sasori, the Moon song.� Naruto smiled as Sasori managed to get one of the musicians to lend him their cello. Sukora waited a few beats before following the bass player with the piano then it Naruto�s voice melted into the music Hypnotizing the crowd as well as the sleepy chibis.

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words,
Hold my hand
In other words,
Baby, kiss me

Suddenly the rest of the Orchestra joined in.

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words,
please be true
In other words,
I love you

Mikoto managed to her husband, Fugaku, out on the dance floor to dance with her to Naruto�s song.

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true

In other words �

In other words �

I love you.

Naruto smiled as he looked over to his friends to see Kyuubi fast asleep in Gaara�s arms as well as Tobi and Obito in the arms of the elder Uchiha siblings. The trio took a bow to the softly applauding crowd before leaving the stage. Naruto quickly relieved Gaara of burden and told his friends he would be back after putting his brother to bed. The all wish the chibis a quiet sweet dreams before watching them disappear up stairs.

�So that was the moon song, Dobe?� Sasuke smiled after they tucked the boys in and were standing alone in the hallway.

�Shut up Teme. At least I can sing I bet you can�t hold a note.�

�True.� Time seemed to stop as they both became suddenly aware how close they were. �Naruto��

�Sasu�� Suddenly Naruto�s breath was stolen as warm soft lips cover his.

AN: Okay this is a long chapter in order to beg my readers not to send a mob of villagers with torches and pitch forks after me. I know I promised a new chapter for �My Chibi Dobe� and I was close to finishing it when the Computer somehow erased everything from my flash drive. I was devastated because I lost 5000 words and Muses all went into comas over the loss. Since then The Love of my life brought me a new Laptop for Valentine�s Day! Yay! So now I�m hard at work making up the chapter I lost and I hopefully will have it out soon. Till then Thanks for reading and keep reviewing.
