Chapter 5: Kyubi's Decision


----------------

**Important note: Double D can't count. Ha ha. In the beggining of the "flashback" chapters, I had written that it was "three years ago"...that is WRONG, I meant to type "FIVE years ago" (which I have now fixed). Also, I wanted to mention that there will be some drama and angst in later chapters! Hopefully it won't be too bad?


He had told him that he didn't want Kyubi to use him to get to Itachi. Kyubi wanted to prove to him that if he really WANTED Itachi, then he didn't need a third person to accomplish it. Didn't stop to think it through, acting on impulse. 'Forget it,' Kyubi thought to himself. 'I'll just make him hate me to the point that he can't hate me any more and then he'll just have to grow to like me instead.'

"I'm going to start dating Itachi."

Three faces with wide, blinking eyes stared at Kyubi. The twins were seated at the dining room table eating dinner with their parents. After Sasuke drove Naruto home, the raven haired boy insisted on waiting for their parents to arrive in order to tell them about their study plans in person. Minato and Kushina took to the Uchiha instantly. It annoyed the hell out of Naruto

"What?" Naruto asked after nearly shocking on a mouthful of food.

"And who is this Itachi?" Minato wondered aloud.

"He's Sasuke's brother," Naruto reluctantly answered, tearing his shocked gaze away from his brother.

Minato and Kushina stared at each other for a moment, an eerie silence falling over the table. "Well if Itachi is anything like Sasuke, then I don't see a problem," their mother decided.

"Agreed," their father added.

Naruto looked at his parents as if they had said 'we're painting ourselves neon green and streaking around downtown'. He lost his appetite. "I'm taking a shower and getting ready for bed." He didn't even look at Kyubi as he took his plate and cup to the dish washer. His body went on automatic, gathering his pajamas from his room and his towel. However, his mind was shooting off in many directions.

Naruto loved his brother. He knew better than anyone else the good sides and bad sides of his twin and he fully accepted him with flaws and all. That didn't mean that he always agreed with his way of thinking, though. As smart as Kyubi was academic-wise, Naruto just couldn't comprehend how THOUGHTLESS Kyubi was when it came to certain people. Especially the people he liked. If Kyubi didn't find someone to be remotely interesting, he wouldn't talk to them at all let alone be in their presence.

After his shower, Naruto brushed his teeth, dried himself well, and pulled on his pajamas. He had anticipated seeing his brother sitting on his bed waiting for him and he wasn't disappointed.

"I wasn't thinking at all," Kyubi began, elaborating on the events of the day. "Kisame hurt me. The part of me that wanted to hurt him in return overpowered my senses."

Naruto hung his towel on a chair and sat down next to Kyubi, not wanting to interrupt.

"I realized that the reason he didn't see me at all was because all he saw was Itachi," Kyubi continued. "So, I wanted to prove that Itachi wasn't interested in him that way." His periwinkle eyes narrowed as he remembered the pain of his rejection. "I just lost it. And a part of me is still losing it. I want to date Itachi for all the wrong reasons. I want to see what Kisame sees in him...I want to see why he can't see anyone else." He let out a shaky laugh. "So tell me, do you hate your twisted brother now?"

Naruto pulled his twin into a bone-crushing hug. "I'd never hate you," he told him truthfully. Because Naruto could never bring himself to judge him like that. Because they had both gone through worse pain and hardships before. And because, as his brother and best friend, all he could do right now was to lend him his support and hope with all his heart that things wouldn't turn out too badly.

ONE YEAR LATER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"They're going this Thursday," Sasuke let Naruto know in hushed tones. They were in their last class of the day, Algebra II. Naruto and Sasuke had become good friends the whole of the year before. They got along remarkably well despite the fact that they loved to argue amongst themselves. Kiba claimed that Sasuke was Kyubi's replacement for Naruto, since Kyubi spent most of his time with Itachi and his friends. But, that wasn't true. Sasuke still helped Naruto with his studies and Naruto helped Sasuke just by being his entertainment and distraction.

"Are we going to this one?" Sasuke was referring to one of Itachi's outings. Naruto and Sasuke sometimes hung out with Itachi and his friends and sometimes they didn't. Itachi, Kyubi, Kisame, and a couple of other friends of Itachi's had all graduated the summer before and frequented everything from parties to clubs whenever they needed to relieve their university stress. Thanks to such outings, the whole lot of them became such damn good dancers that they drew attention to themselves without even trying.

"We don't have anything important to turn in on Friday," Sasuke thought aloud. "Yes, we can afford to go with them Thursday."

Kiba also claimed that Sasuke and Naruto had been denying the fact that they've been dating for almost a year. No matter how many times Naruto explained that Sasuke and Naruto's relationship wasn't like that, Kiba would shake his head and that they were 'knee deep in the river of De-Nial'. His parents, however, were thrilled whenever the twins went out to have fun.

The truth was that neither Naruto nor Sasuke wanted to ruin the friendship they had. Sure, there were times when Naruto felt that there was something more between them than they realized, but he'd always waved those feelings away.

"Is Kisame going?" Naruto asked warily.

Sasuke winced. Whenever Kisame went with them, he almost always started an argument with Kyubi that would result into a physical fight. "Yes, last I heard, he's coming too."

Naruto bit his lip and stared down at his desk. He almost didn't want to know the reasons why Kyubi would rile Kisame up, but he did. His brother was still hung up on the raindrop-headed shark and Naruto had a feeling that Itachi was starting to realize it as well. Thursday was going to be hell.

~~~~~~~

Kyubi was torn. Never in his life had he been so frustrated and confused. It was mostly because of his confusion that he was taking it all out on Kisame. The truth was that, not only did he still have feelings for Kisame, but now he was also falling in lust with Itachi Uchiha. In lust? Yes, that could be the only explanation for the way his body was reacting to the barest of Itachi's touches. A whole year. He had been going out with Itachi for a whole year in the hopes of getting Kisame to forget about the Uchiha. But, instead, everything had become a complete mess.

Kyubi shook his head viciously, his red hair tickling him with the movement. He had dyed his hair red again as soon as he didn't need to swap places with Naruto again. He had also let it grow during the year. It was in ragged layers down to the back of his neck. The color of his hair made his periwinkle blue eyes look violet. One had to look closely to realize that Naruto and he were twins.

His skin shivered when he felt a hand slide away the back of his hair to place a kiss on the back of his neck. Kyubi bit his lip, both to keep from making a noise and to also fight down the feeling that arose in him whenever Itachi touched him.

"Let's dance?" Itachi asked Kyubi in a confident tone.

A part of Kyubi wanted to tell him no. That he was afraid. But, his elbow was already being tugged to the dance floor. Though his entire body was occupied with their dancing, Kyubi couldn't help but let his gaze wander to Kisame. A sexy, but sharp voice whispered into his ear at that moment.

"You and I need to talk," Itachi nearly hissed. "We need to talk about why you're so fixated on Kisame when you're in MY arms."

~~~~~~~

Sasuke and Naruto always danced far enough away not to touch, but close enough not to let anyone cut in. He felt more than heard a commotion from somewhere behind him. He neither knew nor care about what happened. But, someone shoved the people behind him roughly and right unto Sasuke, who stumbled and fell flush against Naruto in the middle of the dance floor.

Naruto steadied Sasuke, but where his mind wanted him to pull away, his body refused to obey. His arm kept Sasuke close as he leaned down to kiss Sasuke's slightly parted lips. The blonde's mind shut down as his heart took over. The feel of Sasuke's lips against his own was enough to drive him crazy. He was surprised when Sasuke not only responded to the kiss by licking and sucking at his bottom lip, but also wrapped his arms around his neck. Unable to control his body, Naruto nearly humped the other boy.

Sasuke took control of the kiss after that, tilting Naruto's head to where he wanted it. His tongue dove into the blonde's mouth without the permission of his brain and proceeded to draw a moan from Naruto. It wasn't until his lungs felt like they were burning that he forced himself to un-attach himself from the other boy.

"Do that again?" Naruto requested after they finally caught their breaths.

Sasuke laughed in reply, whatever nervousness that was between them dissipating, and tucked some of his hair behind his ear. "Dobe."
