*hides a long moment*

*goes out of the shadows because she has to*

.. Hello everyone?

Huh I'm so confused about all of it. So yeah, if you know me, you may know that, when it concerns writing... It is usually a miracle when I manage to write a lot. My miracle came with the one which url is Letsusura on Tumblr. I can say, this miracle can be a real pain, bossing me around for me to work my fanfic all day.

Anyway, I talk a lot with sweet-evil-Letsusura, and one day, we came to talk about a Mafia!AU for Sasuke and Naruto, for which I had a lot of ideas. Which she forced me to write, obviously.

So here we are today, to watch the embarassement of my work. If you like it, please tell me, I usually assume everything I do suck. If you don't like it, go complain to Letsusura, it's her fault if you have it on line.

So, infos on the fanfic I guess?

Copyright: All the characters belongs to Masashi Kishimoto with the manga Naruto.

Ship: Sasuke x Naruto

Title: Keep It Silent

Summary: Mafia!AU. There is an important rule in the Mafia: a Man should always be able to pull the trigger without feeling any remorse nor hesitation. Sasuke hesited. The reason? A damn ghost from a past Sasuke tried to forget about. It was the worst thing that could happen to both of them. Yet, also probably the best?

Rating: M for obvious reasons, going from language to possible smutt scenes in the future (note the possible part, I'm not sure I'll do those). Also the subjects will be really heavy, there will be violence so, yeah, I would even say M+ but you know how is about it.

Warning: Okay here the main problem with this fic, I am not an english speaker. My english is far from perfect and there are chances that it shows. I am deeply sorry about it and I hope it won't be that problematic in the future.

Warning 2: I have most of the story in my head, which makes it a bit difficult for me since I have a lot of ideas that I can introduce early but can seem really clumsy seeing like that. I'll talk about it more in the After Chapter Notes.

Warning 3: The fanfic is a Multi-POV fanfics and knowing myself, I'll probably end up with developping the minor characters just as much as I develop the main. I also really love some of the ladies than many hates, and it will probably show as well, so I prefer to warn right now.

Warning 4: I made some research on my subject before writing,and guess what it was the worst idea I've ever had because it just mixed up everything I planned. So in the end, I decided to keep only the things I thought could be interesting. At some point, I will talk about the Cosa Nostra in the fanfic: it is something that exists, but for the well being of the fanfic, I decided to turn it into something from the past, and even thought I mentioned it, it is not really that important. The Cosa Nostra is mostly a lifestyle that many of the italian mafia adopted (if I believe my sources), and it had a lot of rules (that's why I'm talking about twisting those rules). If really you want to know about it, I'll do a note about it on the next chapter, but for now I don't see the point. Plus, there will probably be characters to explain it in the future if I insist on it ^^'

Warning 5: The worst thing with me is how long I can stand a fanfic. I will try my hardest to at least give a lot of chapters to this fanfics, but I can't promise you a regular publication. I guess you can still count on Letsusura tho to push me to work

huh the fic is on hiatus with no intention to be started again... sorry ;;

So now I only wish you the best reading possible regarding those circonstances and I wish you the best. See you in the after chapter notes!

1 - A familiar Face.

The celling was too damn bright, that one morning. The sun had made its way between the recently broken shutters, and couldn't stop shining like crazy. In result, Sasuke was wild awake, ways before his alarm clock turns on to irritablely wake him up. That one day, however, Sasuke was glad it happened.

"If you have an idea in mind, don't." he grumbled, before sitting down on his bed in order to see his older brother with a bucket of water in his hands, a few step away from him.

"You shouldn't even be awake right now!" the older man with long black hair moaned, putting down the bucket.

"And I am totally glad that I am." Sasuke yawned, looking at the clock - 6.57am. "Any reason for that prank or should I kill you already?"

"Aw, you look like a kitten when you just wake up." Itachi teased, not taking any threat seriously. "Ready for that long, long day?"

"Don't ask stupid things in the morning." Sasuke rubbed his eyes, but the second that followed, he felt the cold water flowing on his pale skin.

"ITACHI" Sasuke yelled but it was too late, his brother was gone from his room, laughing in the coridor, letting the empty bucket on his bed.

Sasuke kicked the freaking bucket and got up, all wet, feeling the cold on every single inch of his body. Itachi was going to pay for it. He better not sleep on the following weeks if he wanted to make it out alive. He removed his clothes without a single look at the opened door and headed to the bathroom to take a hot shower when he still could - he liked the heat on his muscles, and he prefered it ways more than this cold idea of a joke Itachi made him suffer into. Pressing a hand into his black hair, Sasuke was trying to erase any remaining of the cold water that was still, sometimes spinning on his neck. The day was going to be rought, and he sure didn't need those stupid ideas that early in the morning. When he had enough of the heat, he came out of the shower and prepared his clothes - basically all black ones. When he was ready, he put his holster on his belt and put his semi-automatic gun in, took then some bullet magazine suplies that he put in a pocket easy to reach. He hid a knife on his leg, under his pants. It was enough for now, and if he needed more weapon before the time to come, he will add them.

He headed out of his room, longing the coridors of the house to the living room. In there, he could find Itachi, his older brother, with a smile still on his lips, taking his coffee alone at the table.

"Where is everyone?" Sasuke asked, aheading to prepare himself a coffee as well. "

Busy day for everyone." Itachi said happily. "Did you enjoy the shower?"

"Go fuck yourself." Sasuke replied.

"Ah man, this is not how men of honor should talk." Itachi teased.

"And they should never claim to be men of honor." Sasuke was icy. "It seems none of us play with the rules anyway."

Itachi shurgged and laid on the back of his chair, taking a yawn. He mustn't have slept much. Sasuke would almost feel pity if Itachi hadn't decided to throw water at him in the morning.

"What was your deal yesterday?" Sasuke asked, mostly curious, going back at the table with his bitter coffee in hand.

"Something that ended up late." Itachi rubbed his neck. "They didn't want to listen most of the conversation and it was hard to make them shut up."

"You didn't kill them, did you?"

"I know the rules better than you do." Itachi rubbed his temples. "No killing if you can avoid it, and I could."

Sasuke nodded and started to drink his coffee. It wasn't rare for those kind of negotiation to take some times, but it was always surprising to see that his brother was the one that allowed it to happen. Itachi was always the one that dealt with everything easily.

"So, ready for tonight?" Itachi teased.

"I already did that before." Sasuke sighed. "There is nothing to worry about."

"I know that, I wondered if you were going to wear your prettiest suit for them or not." Itachi joked and Sasuke kicked him under the table. Why couldn't Itachi be serious about it for one second?

When his coffee was done drinking, Sasuke prepared himself a toast with some jam on it and got up from his chair. "I have stuffs to do before," he told his brother. "Is Juugo disponible?"

"You know he is." Itachi shurgged. "He wouldn't leave your side even if you shot him in the head." Then Itachi frowned. "When did you start eating toast with j-"

He was interrupted when Sasuke came next to him and stuck the toast in his brother's hair. He headed toward the door while Itachi was swearing. Revenge has been done.

Sasuke Uchiha was 23 years old, ways too young for the job, they said, but coming from the Uchiha's head family gives some adventages. He was a nice shot, he barely missed his target, and none of his deals ever turned wrong. He was quiet, no one ever knew what he was doing. People already feared him. Some whispered that the fear of his big brother was the reason, others was already seeing Sasuke for what he was: a threat.

That was how the mafia worked, somehow. None of them would call it this way, though, some remaining of the era of the Cosa Nostra, the Golden Ages, was still forbidding some parts of their lifestyle. First rule, never call a mafia a mafia. They were a Family, an organisated Family at least, they wouldn't use such vulgar slang. Second, they weren't part of a mafia, they were part of a family, and between differents families, they were Men Of Honor, even if none of them was allowed to call themselves this way. The Third Rule was that any member of a Family should be able to kill a man without feeling any remorse nor hesitation.

Those three rules were the only ones remaining from the Cosa Nostra in all the Families. The others rules came and went with times in each Families, to the point even calling them Mafia or member of the Cosa Nostra was a lie. This city, this country had different rules to play with. They couldn't stay in those ages for ever.

From all the families down here, the Uchiha could be proud to be the most influencial one, yet the least visible one. Unlike many others families, the police didn't even suspect their actions yet, while they were doing everything to control anything that was going on in every others families. The legacy of the Uchiha was important. Sasuke was the heir of this legacy, just as his brother. But none of them were taking the biggest decisions yet - their uncle Madara was the one at the top, their cousin Obito dealt with many things. But Itachi and Sasuke were the sons of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, two members of the main Family. After the murder of those two, Madara took the head, waiting for the two boys to be old enough to rule as they should. As strong as Itachi and Sasuke were, none of them could aspire to the head yet. They were still too young, too inexperienced. But one day it would be theirs. There were no doubt on that matter.

The allies - no, brothers - of their Family were numberous. They had a lot of handmen, of people they could trust into doing the job. The worst ofcourse, was to control all the others families - there were a tone of them, all trying to control the city by the worst means. Some trying to rip away the Uchiha's legacy. They always had to watch them, to be sure no one would try to take their places.

It had been a rough life since forever. If as a child, Sasuke could grow up as a normal kid despite his affiliations with all of it, after his parents' death when he as a teen, he had no others choices but to suck it up and realize what a delicate position he was in.

Today was another of those days where he realized it. But somehow he wished it wasn't.

"Are you okay sir?" Juugo asked from the driver seat.

"Hn." Sasuke answered from the backseat, putting his forehead on the window.

He couldn't believe the day had been that long. He had the feeling he ran everywhere in the city, he didn't even have the time to eat. He knew the day was going to be busy, but now that the sun started to go down, he realized how heavy it had been. Juugo was probably worried, but to be fair, he always was. He was one of the most loyal handmen Sasuke could have, and by far the least noisy. He didn't ask much question, he always stuck to the minimum, and he was always effective in his actions. When days had to be long like that, Sasuke prefered to spend it with Juugo - since he shouldn't go alone anywhere anyway.

They had to go in an old port, which activities almost stopped with the years and only a few deliveries were managing their ways to the port. Some of the deliveries were done for some of the others families. In order to keep controle, the Uchiha always had to watch over it. Usually a handman would be enough, but this time, it was to Sasuke's to go and check out how it went on.

The delivery seemed to be some drugs they intended to sell on the territory. Sasuke didn't care. It was this family's buisness and Sasuke had no reason to go against this. As long as each family could do what they always did, the peace between the families was safe.

Seeing the sea from his window, Sasuke raised his head and checked his weapons. He put a gun into a holster under his long leather jacket, and one into another one at his belt. There were no reasons to think the other family would attack him, but they were never careful enough. After a casual checking of what he needed, he stepped out of the car when this one stopped. Juugo followed him right away, and they were welcomed by a white haired member of their family.

"Here you are boss." Suigetsu smirked coming at them, insisting on this last word like a joke. "You are almost late."

"Save me the talk." Sasuke sighed. "Where are they?"

"By the hangar." Suigetsu showed up the direction with a chin move. "The delivery shouldn't be long now."

Sasuke nodded and headed toward the hanger, Suigetsu and Juugo following him. The sun was still going down, reflecting its last rays on the waves from the sea. A boat could enter the port at any moment, even with the few lights. When they finally got to the hangar, They were welcomed by a group of five people. Sasuke put his hands in his pockets as he was coming closer. One of the guy, with a lot of scar, stepped to hold Sasuke's hand.

"So you came." the man with a deep voice said.

"My pleasure." Sasuke answered, irritated by the intinuation he may have not come. "When should the delivery arrive?"

"Soon enough, little boss." the man railed and Sasuke grinded his teeth with annoyance. The man wasn't taking him seriously because he was too young. Something Sasuke was used to, but in the same time was still making him angry. He may be young, he was still the heir of his family. But bragging about it wasn't safe, not here.

"So this is Kakuzu right?" he heard Suigetsu whispers to Juugo behind him and he then heard Juugo hit him.

"Don't say the names when we're out the open!" Juugo hissed at him. "Don't you know the rules?"

Suigetsu was grumbling apologizes and Sasuke looked at the sea, waiting for the boat to come. "How much will you recieve?" He asked.

"Many boxes." Kakuzu answered. "Twenty if everything goes right."

Sasuke nodded, and shut up after that, listening carefully to the sounds of the waves, or any sounds, at all.

"Are you sure no one knows about this delivery?" Sasuke asked after a moment.

"Sure." Kakuzu replied. "We took care of it."

"You didn't take care of the rats."

Kakuzu frowned at him, but Sasuke could see Juugo and Suigetsu tensing, passing their hands on their guns.

"Rats?"

"One actually." Sasuke turned slowly to some boxes, a few feets away from them.

He pointed the boxes with his look to Juugo and Suigetsu and they immediatly prepared their guns to move toward this place. When they arrived near the boxes and pointed at it with their guns, Sasuke could see them frown from where they were, and Suigetsu turned to him, shurging. Sasuke took his own gun out and stepped toward the boxes as well.

"Where are you going?" Kakuzu asked, seeing him move.

"Doing your job." Sasuke replied. "Taking care of it."

He ordered silently to Juugo to go on the hangar, and Suigetsu to look over the cost, while he was going deeper in the port. They obeyed without a single sound and they moved this way.

Sasuke knew he heard something. It was a clear noise from someone who didn't know how to cover his traces. Yet, now, this person was being careful to not be seen. Clever, Sasuke would think, but there is no way this person escape without being noticed. He was going to find him.

He moved between the boats on earth, the diverse boxes, taking care of every movement. He was attentive to any sounds other than the waves crushing. The rays of the sun were gone now. Only the lights of the city and of the moon was illuminating the discording mess, but the moon was full and bright, which made it easier for Sasuke to find than for the person to hide. He was sure than the person who was hiding wasn't a killer - so probably not another family - because a killer, more importantly, someone of another family, would hide himself better, and Sasuke could casually hear the person move. He was in the right direction.

The more he was moving, the more he could hear moving, the person was probably panicking. Great. Sasuke removed the security of his gun, coming closer from the noise. Just here. Just right here. He couldn't hide anymore. He found him. Sasuke turned at the corner of the boat, pointing his gun at the man hiding behind. He hesited for one second to shoot and it was the only second the other needed to kick his gun hand. Sasuke lost the gun in the surprise, avoided a punch from the other man and caught it, using then his weight to force him on the ground. The other moaned in pain but he didn't let Sasuke the time to react, as he brought Sasuke to the ground, took the lost gun and put himself quickly on top of Sasuke, but not quick enough. Sasuke managed to take his second gun and pointed it on the other one's face, just as the other was doing it with him, and they stayed like that, breathing heavily - none of them pulled the trigger.

Sasuke didn't take the time to see the face of the man before they ended up in this position. Yet he did this mistake - he looked at the other one's face before thinking at pulling the trigger. Those blond hair were raining like ray of sunshine over his face, covering those blue eyes so clear, full of light, and those scars on his cheeks. Scars that Sasuke once knew. On a face that Sasuke once knew.

"Naruto?" the name came on his lips like a bittersweet memory, with a taste he only remembered now. He watched as the blue eyes went wilde, looking at him in surprise before whispering:"S-Sasuke?"

Sasuke's heart missed a beating. Oh fuck. No. No no no that was no good. Why the fuck was he here? What the fuck was he doing here in the first place?! It was not his place, it was not where he should be it was not where Sasuke expected to see him. Sasuke couldn't let anyone know who he was and that he was hanging around with others families. What the fuck no. Naruto seemed lost and it was sure he didn't except that - it was sure he wouldn't pull the trigger. Sasuke should pull it - pull it now. He couldn't let him live. He couldn't. It was a rule.

"Why the fuck are you here?!" Sasuke hissed. "From all place, you..."

"What do YOU do here?!" Naruto replied, confused. "Are you with them?!"

He knew. Sasuke should kill him right away. How did this little noisy Naruto he knew when he was a teen knew about all of it? It wasn't right. It wasn't right!

"BOSS?" he heard Suigetsu scream. "BOSS!"

Naruto raised his head in confusion, then looked at Sasuke, even more lost than he already looked already. If Suigetsu saw them in this position he would kill him. That was no good. No good. Sasuke pulled Naruto's arms to bring him down and hid him near the boat. Naruto didn't react much, his eyes seemed so lost. Sasuke wouldn't have expect to see this on his face. Not like that. And certainly not in this circonstances.

"Hide and Go away!" Sasuke hissed at him, trying to keep him hidden.

"S-Sasuke..." Naruto began but Sasuke cut him off "Go away now!"

Sasuke's heart missed a beat as Naruto clumsily but quickly got away. And Sasuke acted as quickly - he couldn't let his thoughts react at the moment. If he did, Naruto was dead. Naruto should be dead. But yet everything screamed to his body to give him time to get away. Sasuke got up and almost ran between the empty boats - he wished Naruto ran away. When he found back Suigetsu - far enough from where he left Naruto - he was relieved.

"Hey!" he called out and the white haired man saw him and came at him. "Didn't find anything from where I was! You? "

"Neither did I," Sasuke lied. "Juugo?"

"I didn't see with him yet." Suigetsu bit his lip. "Do you think it will mean trouble?"

Definitly, Sasuke bitterly thought.

It definitly means trouble.

Author's note: *sings slightly* Exposition, Exposition, lalalala laaa lala

Okay yeah you would have guessed this chapter isn't that important, but I needed it to introduce the Mafia and even here I am not quite proud. Anyway, there was something I wanted to make sure about: Yes, they knew each other, but they were never a relationship. As you will wait a bit before chapter 2 where everything is explained, I wanted to be sure about it.

The feelings they will have for one another will be developped in the fanfic. They may know each other but that's not the important part of all of it.

I think it's the only thing I need to say?

Don't hesitate to tell me how you felt about it, if you liked it or not. I hope you at least enjoyed it, and well, if everything goes right, you'll enjoy better the following chapters.

Send you all a lot of loves
