I can't believe I'm writing this...

"So, where done in there?" Kiba called from the other side of the door, his voice muffled by the thick wood.

"Yeah Kiba, my god, let us out I'm hungry!" Naruto groaned, dropping down onto the tiled floor and curling into a ball.

Sasuke rolled his eyes from his perch on a storage shelf. "I agree, let us out dog-breath."

The door slowly pulled open and Kiba came into view, Sakura standing behind him with a large grin on her face.

"So?" she shoved past Kiba, who fell to the ground, and pressed her face into Sasuke's.

"So, so, so, so" she mumbled on, hopping from one foot to the next.

"Sakura…" Sasuke mumbled, watching in mild amusement as his new boyfriend repeatedly kissed the floor as the pink-haired girl danced on his head.

"…You're dancing on Naruto's head," he continued, "and yes, he is my boyfriend."'

"Hooray!" she cheered, throwing herself into the raven's arms, spinning them both around in joy.

"Please put me down Sakura" Sasuke mumbled painfully, his vision spun and his ears twitched from the high-pitched squeals.

Sakura finally set the slender boy down, and then darted out of the room just as quick as she spun Sasuke a moment before.

Sasuke sighed heavily, his mind already envisioning the amount of chaos to soon arrive. Without a doubt, the pink-haired girl was going to return to her study and create multitudes of copies of the latest news on him and Naruto.

Joy. He could already see the bullhorn and flyers now.

"C'mon dobe, time for class" Sasuke stepped over his boyfriends limp form and started his way down the hallway.

At home, Itachi sat before the television, remote control in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. He listened to the buzz coming from the television, but his mind was elsewhere. He had expected so sort of communication from his parents at this point. They had told him specifically that they would be calling at least once or twice to see how they were doing.

Something's not right.

Itachi reached for his phone across the leather couch and pressed on the button for inbox. The folder was empty, save for a few messages from friends and a previous goodbye from his parents, nothing else was listed.

The reflection from the TV blinded his cellphone screen, and Itachi went to adjust his posture to get away from the reflection when something caught his eye.

He looked up at the TV and watched as a reporter detailed the events of what looked like a horrible accident.

"Last night, a violent head-on collision took the lives of four passengers in one car and three in another, right here on Poppy…"

Wait.

Itachi's eyes widened with fear. His parents would have crossed Poppy to get to…

No.

Just as he suspected, Itachi watched in disbelief as the names of the fatalities were announced by the reporter.

"Uchiha…Uzumaki…"

For the first time in his life, Itachi felt at a complete loss, his parents, they were…

Sasuke…and Naruto.

What was he going to tell them?

His hands shook as he dropped his phone onto the floor, tears flooding his vision. With little thought in his mind, he shot upstairs and swung his bedroom door behind him.

Well into the afternoon, loud heart-wrenching cries echoed around the Uchiha home. Flooded the rooms and tarnished once precious happy memories that filled the abode.

Pictures on the wall, of their family, their lives, looked darker, old, as if the parent's memories had already become something of the past.

All Itachi could do was cry.

"That's funny, Itachi hasn't called or texted me today." Sasuke commented, scrolling through his messages.

His boyfriend beside him, driving the vehicle to the Uchiha home looked over to his boyfriend.

"I'm sure he's just busy babe." Naruto assured him, turning back to the road.

"I guess… I wonder if he heard anything from our parents."

He looked over at his boyfriend. "Have your parents contacted you?"

Naruto sighed, "not since their goodbye message yesterday, don't worry, Itachi will fill us in, I'm sure."

With one more turn down the street Naruto pulled into the driveway, cutting the car and pushing the door open.

"C'mon love, maybe we can coax Itachi out of the house and hang out…alone." Naruto grinned, wiggling his eyebrows. He came around the other side of the car, and pulled Sasuke's door open.

Looking up from his cellphone Sasuke rolled his eyebrows. "come off it dobe."

Naruto just chuckled and hoisted the smaller boy from his seat, pulling him up and towards the front door.

"C'mon love, I feel like a good long nap."

Sasuke grappled for his key in his school bag and twisted them in the lock.

Itachi usually has the door unlocked for me.

The door swung open to an eerie silence. No TV, music or any other sign of life inhabited the home.

"Itachi…?" he called warily, barely registering Naruto's arm wrapping around his waist.

"Itachi…?"

I know it was short, it's 1am thought and I am dead tired. Like I said, I'm actually amazed I went back to this. I wrote this four years ago, I don't really know anything about Naruto anymore and well, I'm not 15 either as I was when I wrote this.

Please tell me if this is...off from what it was previously. I can't say I will be able to fix it all, but I'll try. A lot changes in four years, but some people are just so fucking amazing that they were reviewing this last year. Incredible, thank you so much. Actually you're all amazing for not sending me hate messages.

I will be finishing this, it won't be as long as I initially wanted it to be, but I won't just cut it off with a 'the end'. I just may take awhile, I have a lot more crap to deal with now than I did then.

I know this chapter was incredibly sloppy and I apologize, I will rectify that next time.

If anyone is a Big Time Rush fan, feel free to check out my fic "Gender and Sex."

Thank you guys, again, so much.
