[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

As soon as Haku made that simple declaration, everyone was just a little skeptical of what his present would be. Despite how much the kid had countless harassed Jiraiya and Sasuke about their own suggestive nature, Haku had a pretty big perversion of his own and he wasn't very subtle about it. So when he brought up the fact that it was his turn, there was a shared feeling of disgust and future disappointment. It was Haku after all, and when it came to being around Naruto, things did get a little bizarre.

Much to Sasuke's dismay, he couldn't simply order Naruto to ignore his anxiously mischievous friend. He could only roll his eyes as Haku scrambled about the pouch as he handed Naruto his gift. Sasuke turned his meek glance to Zabuza, who equally displayed a look of repulsion and frustration. He should have known better than anyone else how Haku could be. But he couldn't so easily address his problems with Haku behavior, since it was hard to overcome old habits.

"I hope you like it Naru-kun!" Haku nearly squealed, crawling up in the seat next to Naruto. "I know Sasuke will, since likes about anything that affects you." Haku explained excitedly. He was practically hoping out of his seat as Naruto started to unwrap the box.

Naruto concealed his obvious concern and reluctance while opening the gift. "What's this?" Naruto asked himself as he pulled back the flaps of the box. His brows knitted together quickly as he pulled out a few mysterious items. As much as Naruto was appreciative of getting anything from his friends, he was a little aggravated that he had gotten books again. He eyes slowly ran over the titles of the large paper back literature. "The Ultimate Uke Guide...and Position of the Day..." Naruto read the titles carefully, his confusion only grew more as he flipped through the informational text.

Sasuke just went pale in the face. "Do you really believe we are that inexperienced?" He couldn't help but huff. Sure the gift probably would come in handy later, but for right now, Sasuke's pride was injured. He wasn't some stupid little teen that didn't know what he was doing. Shoot, being around Itachi cleared things right up. If it was up to Sasuke, he would have thrown the gift away and then beat the crap out of Haku, but he didn't want to ruin Naruto's party with his childish ideas.

"Actually I do believe, you are incapable of ever satisfying Naruto in anyway." Haku growled back. "You're so pathetic, how can anyone not want to help you two? Jiraiya tried and that has gotten you no where, and I'm sure Itachi's backed off long enough for you to get the job done Sasuke. How long are you planning to drag this thing out?!" Haku barked at the young Uchiha. For once, everyone else would have to side with Haku on this.

"Some friend you are." Sasuke snarled. "Just a few weeks ago you were desperate to get me away from Naruto and now you are trying every means necessary to get him laid. Make up your mind already! I can't work with everyone breathing down our backs!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto exchanged looks between the two arguing teens and sighed. He really hated when they fought, but this was absolutely ridiculous.

"Well maybe we wouldn't need to if you weren't so damn helpless Sasuke!" Haku lashed back. The two were now face to face, eyes glowering viciously as they were ready to pounce. As much as Zabuza appreciated Haku's efforts to get over Naruto by forcing him onto someone else, this method was really getting on his nerves.

"Alright that's enough you two." Zabuza growled, standing up from his seat.

"Hey! Can we roast marshmallows now?!" Naruto burst out saying, hoping to draw their attention away from confrontation. It seemed to work as Haku and Sasuke both huffed, crossing their arms and turned away from one another.

"We can do anything you want Naruto." Itachi chuckled, patting the anxious blond on the head. With a coy smile, he got up from his seat and walked back inside to retrieve the required items for their next snack.

Kisame hopelessly watched Itachi's retreating figure. As much as he would like to make a move, he knew it was not the time nor the place for it. "Cheer up Kisame. You two will be closer in no time!" Haku exclaimed, noticing the shark like man in his little fit of despair. "Your blooming relationship only needs a little intimacy." Haku insisted. Kisame groaned in disgust. He simply didn't like having to look to some kid for help in his love life, especially when Haku's own love life wasn't all that great by comparison.

Itachi soon enough returned with a bag of marshmallows and a few long needles to hold them on. Sasuke had did the honors of setting up the fire on the shore just in case. They gathered round the fire, grabbing the sticks and settling them near the flame.

"This is the best birthday I've ever had Sasuke." Naruto mumbled sweetly as he twirled his stick above the heated flames. Not even the fire's illuminating glow could match that of Naruto's beautiful smile. It was so genuine and gentle. He was just so happy he had so many friends that cared enough to do all this for him. But most of all, he was grateful of Sasuke's efforts . Naruto grinned whole heartedly and leaned into Sasuke's shoulder. "I wish we never had to leave this place," he couldn't help but whisper. His wish was shared by the rest of the party. After all, who would want to go back to their boring, average lives at school and work.

"Me too Naruto..." Sasuke muttered back. He quickly slipped one arm around Naruto's shoulder and drew the blond closer to him. He couldn't wait for the others to leave tomorrow, then him and Naruto would have four days to themselves. And the more he thought about it the more reluctant he was to having to back home after all that. But Itachi wished similar thoughts, for different reasons.

He stared solemnly into the lonely flame. Kisame was the only one who knew right off the bat that Itachi's thoughts were elsewhere. The Uchiha wasn't looking forward to leaving either. He kept getting a feeling that his father was just back at home waiting for him to come back. And he would much rather return without Sasuke. There was no telling how his father would react to seeing a spitting image of Itachi as a youth. it would only be a dreadful reminder of the past for the both of them.

"Itachi..." Kisame whispered nervously as he scooted a little closer to the distant Uchiha. What could he possibly say or do to make all this better? He better think of something quick because Itachi had heard his voice and was now looking at him with that innocent, yet fearful gaze. "I was thinking...," 'a lot' Kisame wanted to add. "You don't have to say home when you get back." Kisame replied timidly. He found that he was fiddling with his fingers and that his palms had turned sweaty. Was he that afraid of Itachi's answer? "I mean...Fugaku doesn't know where I live. So maybe you could...I don't know...stay with me, until things clear up." Kisame murmured, his cheeks akin to tomatoes.

His heart clenched and he gulped when he saw Itachi's lips tighten into a firm frown. "You're still worried about that?" Itachi asked. He turned his eyes from Kisame, forcing them to soften. A small chuckle escaped his lips among the idle chatter the rest of the gang was having. "I can't believe you actually bought that. I love getting you all flustered; it was a joke Kisame. What would actually make you think they would let him out." Itachi laughed bitterly. Kisame was boiling inside. Surely Itachi wouldn't try to lie to himself like that; it would never work. "Besides," Itachi quickly calmed his cackling. "What would you do if things didn't clear up? You can't hide me forever Kisame. I don't need your protection. I can take care of myself."

"Stop being such a dumb ass Itachi!" Kisame exclaimed the next moment, his voice husky and raw with anger. He had managed to calm his raging heart beat when he noticed that was the only sound ringing in his ears. He looked around briefly, and noted that all eyes were on him during his out burst. He turned back to Itachi with a growl but only found a dent in the sand where the Uchiha had once sat. He quickly looked up and saw Itachi walking back to the house. Kisame was just ready to pull out all his hair. He wanted to strangle that stubborn prick. Kisame sighed dryly and stared back at the fire.

"What is wrong with you?" Haku whispered to the older male once the others had gone back to their carefree conversation. "You can't win him over with force." The ebony eyed teen hissed. "And if you haven't noticed, no one likes being called names. You have to go apologize."

"Look Haku, Itachi isn't exactly anyone's ideal of a cooperative uke. You can't get through to him because of certain circumstances." Haku's brows knitted together in confusion, causing Kisame to only grow more frustrated. "Forget your advice, I'll do this myself." Kisame decided. He lifted up from the ground and dusted himself off. "Excuse me Naruto, but I think I will retreat early tonight since it looks like I will be driving everyone else back tomorrow." With that, Kisame quickly jogged away from the group.

"What was all that about?" Sasuke asked grumpily. It was rather sad that he was the only one who hadn't noticed the changes with his own brother and Kisame. "Kind of rude of them to just walk out like that," Sasuke growled under breath. But this is what he expected from Itachi.

"I don't think it was rude," Naruto answered back instantly. "I actually think it was kind of...helpful." He giggled, nuzzling his cheeks into Sasuke's chest. "After all, I like it less crowded." At this, Sasuke couldn't help but smirk. Now all he had to do was get rid of Zabuza and Haku, who happened to be watching with pure contempt.

Meanwhile, Kisame had just walked back inside. He dashed upstairs to their room and found Itachi scrambling about the room with his belongings. "Itachi what are you doing? We don't have to pack just yet." Kisame said anxiously, walking into the room and closing the door behind him. This seemed like the only chance he would have. If he let Itachi leave without fixing this mess between them, going back home would be hell.

"You are right, 'we' don't have to pack, but I do." Itachi snarled, slamming a few more items into his bag. "You can come up with everyone else. I'll just hitch hike home; after all I've got the most convincing payment." He muttered. Kisame stomped over and shoved Itachi suit case off the bed, knocking all of its contents onto the floor.

"Don't say crap like that! You told me you would stop doing stuff like that. One day you are going slip up and end up getting STD's or something. You're fucking lucky I check everyone out before I suggest them to you. So don't go around looking for quick fucks when your life is on the line!" Itachi glare maliciously at his friend and only turned toward the door. Kisame hurriedly grabbed the male by the wrist before he could walk away again. "You need to stop this Itachi!"

"Why the hell should I?!" Itachi screamed back. "How many people can say 'I died doing the thing I love most'?"

"You don't love doing this; you hate it. If you loved this you wouldn't be so careless. Do you actuall believe doing all this will save you from the hell your father has put you through? Does he hate sloppy seconds, cause you sure as hell aren't just his?!" Kisame wished he could have bit his tongue but it was too late, and he had only succeed in making Itachi more mad. The Uchiha viciously punched him in the face.

"Don't be just a sore loser Kisame." Itachi laughed sarcastically. "Just because you are the only person I won't fuck, you have to be bitter about everyone else. If you want me so bad then just take me. What have you been waiting for all this time?! You know good and well that I would have never stopped you. Don't you get it? I have nothing else to lose." Itachi whimpered. "Nothing I do will change anything. I belong to him Kisame!" Kisame would admit he had never seen Itachi looking more helpless than he did right now. Tears had stained his dusty red cheeks and he was shivering all over. It was so hard to watch…to watch a friend you knew would collapse at any moment.

"You don't belong to anyone but yourself Itachi..." Kisame ignored the stinging in his face and the repeated pain from the punches he received when he tried to approach the other again. But he finally managed to get close enough to Itachi, locking his arms around him in a gentle embrace. "He may have stolen your innocence and raped your mind and soul, but he has never won your love. So you will never be completely his Itachi. I won't let him take what's left of you." Kisame bit his bottom lip as he felt the still lively struggling within his arms. Itachi tried to wiggle from his grasp, but it was a failed attempt. "I love you Itachi, more than anything or anyone." Kisame vexed himself to say.

"Please..." Itachi whimpered. "Please don't say that..." When he realized his escape was futile, he tightly gripped his fingers around Kisame's shirt. His head titled into the other's chest as he his tears pressed into the fabric. "That's not what I want Kisame..." It was nearly impossible for Itachi to answer Kisame when the male suddenly asked him what he wanted. But Itachi forced the words from his mouth, in soft sobs. "I don't want to be tied down to anything...to anyone. I can't do what I want because of titles and laws. I couldn't stop him...because he was my father, family and I loved him. I can't kill him because of Sasuke. I can't even escape him...because of me." His breath hitched when he felt a tender warmth touch his forehead. His watery eyes gazed up at Kisame as his lips pressed gently to his skin.

"I want to help Itachi, but you won't let me. Tell me what I need to do to help you get over him. I know I can't erase the past, but at least allow me to keep him out of your future." Kisame stepped forward slowly, guiding Itachi backwards toward the bed. And with one soft nudge, Kisame knocked Itachi over onto the mattress and he came down over the male. His own breathing had stopped when stared into those crimson orbs, so pure and desperate. Though he knew he shouldn't have, Kisame couldn't keep himself from kissing the trembling pink folds of Itachi's mouth. With such gentleness he pressed his lips to Itachi. As he had always dreamed, they were so soft and pleasant. Everything about this man drove him crazy with desire. And even if Itachi believe himself to just be the demonic creation of his father, Kisame would always believe the angelic sacredness in him.

Itachi hadn't allowed himself he close his eyes if even just for a moment during the kiss. It was more of curiosity than reluctance that didn't allow him to return the sweet contact. Kisame pulled back when he had received no reaction from Itachi whatsoever. "Itachi...please." Kisame begged. "If you won't love me in return, at least promise me you will stop sleeping around. It will just kill me if I have to watch you die because of your father or any other stupid bastard that only wants to use you." He brushed back the tangled strands of hair from Itachi's face.

The raven haired male smiled weakly and shook his head, making Kisame frown angrily. Itachi chuckled gingerly and wrapped his arms lazily around Kisame's neck. "I just can't win can I?" Itachi sighed, his eyes falling to the side. "I don't want to stop...but I don't want to lose you either. You're all I have left." Kisame's eyes widened suddenly at those words. It was the first time Itachi had ever confessed to wanting him around. After all this time, Kisame only believed himself to be trouble and pain to Itachi. His usefulness could always be replaced in Itachi's eyes, but Itachi was actually saying he needed him.

"'I'll be alright, I finally have someone to trust' I always thought." Itachi admitted. "Everyone wants something, right? You wanted something from me...so you won't leave until you get it." Ruby eyes found their way back to Kisame's. "As long as I kept you waiting, you wouldn't leave me, right? And Uchiha's always got what they wanted. I wanted something to fall back on when I screwed up. This time I wouldn't be left out to dry." Itachi mumbled to himself. Kisame hated the way Itachi spoke like this. He only wanted him around so he wouldn't left alone again, like when his father left? Unlike most people, Kisame could handle being a replacement. If he played his cards right long enough, maybe Itachi would realize he was better than that.

"I'm not going to leave you Itachi." Kisame replied. "I don't need sex from you or anything. I would like to have your love, but those type of desires don't exactly come to you by request. Even if I can't have you as my lover, I want you as my friend. I'll stay with you as long as you need me." He muttered. As much as hated telling Itachi this, he would stay with him. But there goes all his chances of ever having Itachi to himself. If he couldn't at least be in a relationship with Itachi then he would just be satisfied with keeping away from everyone else. But that was a pretty selfish conclusion anyway.

Itachi nodded hesitantly. "If I can’t get laid anymore…can I at least get a blowjob every now and then?" Itachi asked with a bit of amusement in his tone. Kisame growled but managed to laugh at Itachi’s unusually perverted batter.

He rolled his eyes. It was going to take a long while before Itachi got over his bad habits, but Kisame was at least a patient person when it came to Itachi. "We'll see. But for now, I think you owe me an apology. Your punches sure do hurt." Kisame chuckled, resulting in a soft blush from Itachi.

Just as Itachi opened his mouth to apologize, the door the room was pushed open. Both males stared surprisingly at the younger Uchiha currently standing in their doorway with a skeptical sneer. Sasuke did hate walking in on Itachi, but this was ridiculous. "I don't care what you two freaks do on your free time, but until twelve tonight, this is still Naruto's day. Which means you two stop fucking long enough to celebrate with him." Sasuke growled, eyeing Kisame's position above Itachi on the bed. He had never expected Kisame to be the aggressive type, especially to Itachi. But by the looks of the bruises on his face, he guessed Itachi put up a fight to be top. "Come down stairs, Haku wants to start party games after we cake." Sasuke growled before slamming the door closed.

Kisame huffed in frustration. Sasuke was turning out to be one grumpily little teen, almost like Itachi in a way. "Well you heard Mr. bossy." Kisame snickered, crawling off of Itachi. He couldn't help but groan a little; he liked being in that position.

Itachi sat up, a disappointed frown chiseled onto his face. "Kisame..." He replied softly. The other turned to him with curiosity. "About your offer...I think it might do us some good to get out of that house for a while." Itachi said. "Sasuke can come too, right?"

Kisame wasn't able to hide the large smile that spread across his face. Itachi was actually going to stay at his place?! This was absolutely perfect. He was sure to have a better chance of winning him over that way. "Of course Sasuke can stay too. I wasn't expecting you to leave him there all by himself. Don't worry Itachi, its for the best. I'll help you pack as soon as we get back to Konoha." Kisame mumbled excitedly. Itachi smiled timidly and nodded. He only hoped 'he' wasn't there yet.

To Be Continued...

A/N: I'm so glad to be back. The vacation was awesome, but I was sad cause they make you pay 79 cent per minute to use the internet on the cruise. I certainly had no money, so I had to wait nearly a week before I could start typing my fics again. So I really hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I really miss reading your reviews and writing! But my updates my be slow for awhile. School starts tomorrow for me. Of course I always write in class during free time and on the bus, but that doesn't leave me much time to type. So I'll update as soon as I can. Until then, please don't forget to review!

Next Chapter: Itachi and Kisame are at least on good terms, but will it stay that way? Itachi has to break his biggest habit, which might not be all that hard when he'll be under Kisame's supervision from now on. Well that is if he can even make to Kisame's house without having a run in with his father. Lucky for Sasuke he has four days alone with Naruto before he has to go back home.

I was thinking of doing a KisamexItachi lemon in the next chapter. Does anyone else agree? If you are for it please don't hesitate to say, because I have to start writing the next chapter soon.
