Lily: ya, i decide to do a Naruto yaoi, because i'm SO addicted to them. =^.^=
Phantom: okay, i admit, yaoi isn't TOO bad. plus Naruto looks a bit like me...
Lily: *laughs insanely*is it just my imagination, or is everything i write about romance?
Phantom: you're starved for affection, that's all.
Lily: makes sense. Oh, by the way, all the chapter titles will be song names. i'll do a credit list at the end.

Aishiteru, Naruto
Chapter One
Run For Your Life

Uchiha Sasuke, last of the Uchiha clan, was walking home, tired out after a stressful day with Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi-sensei.

Those three nearly drove him mad. Sakura would not stop cuddling up to him, making advances on him, despite the fact that he obviously did not like her. Naruto seemed hell bent on being better than Sasuke, unknowingly adorable, unknowingly distracting and as annoying as hell to Sasuke. Kakashi-sensei... he knew too damn much. only Kakashi could read right through Sasuke's carefully constructed facade to his deeply buried feelings. Sasuke would even venture to guess that Kakashi knew about... that.

Sasuke took several deep breaths, clearing his mind of the days activities and problems. As Sasuke breathed in through his nose, he smelled something. It was itchy and had a strange scalding sensation as it played around his nostrils. Smoke. Smoke meant fire. And fire on such a dry summer day, so near to Sasuke's house... Sasuke pushed his unwilling limbs into a heavy run, deciding not to take to the trees incase it was a forest fire.

Sasuke neared his house, his mouth opening in shock. His house! His home, the last vestige of the Uchiha clan other than himself, was burning down to the ground. Sasuke ignored the impulse to run inside and try to stop it, knowing that it was far too late and that not even the dozen firefighters could put it out.

Sasuke felt heat rising in the back of his eyes, and an itching in his lower lids. Knowing that he must be on the verge of tears, Sasuke ran right back where he had come from. He couldn't let anyone see him like this. If someone saw him like this... they would see what he had tried to hide for so long, they would ruin the new life, the new person that he had conjured up after his parents' death. Sasuke ran for his life.


Kakashi paced his room. Sasuke's house had been burned down, his homicidal brother, Itachi was suspected. Most people believed Itachi had been trying to finish what he had started, but Kakashi believed the inferno to be a warning. If Itachi had wanted Sasuke dead, dead he would be. Not even Sasuke, admittedly one of the best shinobi in training, could beat Itachi, who, if he hadn't killed his entire family save Sasuke, could have been the fifth Hokage.

Kakashi sighed and flopped down on his pallet. The warm lump under the covers rolled over. Kakashi prodded it and Iruka-sensei's tousled head appeared. Iruka blinked at Kakashi before yawning. Kakashi sighed,
I don't know what to do with Sasuke,
Neither do I, said Iruka blearily.
No, no. I mean where am I going to put him, now that his house burned down?
Iruka scrunched up his eyebrow's in concentration. Slowly, a mischievous smile slid across his scarred face.
said Kakashi, translating Iruka's expression.
Let him stay with Naruto,
You don't mean it,
I do. Those two have really got to figure things out. I was sensei to them both for a long time and you're their sensei now, who knows them better than us? I'd say their parent's, but neither has any. My point is, they might be able to help each other figure themselves out and a few... other things along the way.
You have a point there... You know, I think I will do that. God knows, it'll make them easier to teach, said Kakashi after a moment of contemplation.
Iruka laughed out loud, We're probably the worst teachers, putting two horny, teenage shinobi, with the capacity to kill each other, in one house together.
Kakashi laughed along with Iruka, smiling beneath his mask.
said Iruka, once more mischievous, take off that mask and get in bed,
Kakashi happily obliged.

Lily: heehee. i love this. kakashi and iruka make such a cute couple, as do sasuke and naruto. yaoi bashers can kiss my pretty, white ass, by the way.
