Tired of It All

Chapter 15: Whispers

"Did you see the ordeal with Naruto and Sasuke?"

"Fuck, I missed it?"

Itachi hid behind the wall at the mention of his brothers and Naruto's name.

"Man those two are always the one with drama, with interesting lives."

"I wouldn't want to be Naruto though, hahaha"

Itachi walked from where he was hidden, his face blank, no emotion shown through. Shadows cascading over them, frightening the gossiping boys. And he spoke "I would appreciate it if you wouldn't speak of them that way or in any way at all, that includes my friend Uzumaki."

The boys nodded silently.

"Very Good."

Itachi's day went on like usual, he impatiently waited for his class with Naruto. As much as he wanted to ease the boy into trusting him so that he tells him everything, things between him and sasuke seem bad and are escalating, Itachi wanted to know why, so he had to find out soon even if it meant pushing the Blond a little.

Naruto tried to slip in the class without notice, so that no one would confront him about the whole Sasuke issue, nor did he want to get pummel into pulp by his Fan-club either. He has been doing that all day, and its not like it was his fault.. Though normally he wouldn't have talked the way he did to Sasuke but something in him just snapped a little. When the duck butt tried to tell him whether he could or couldn't talk to Itachi, the blondes blood just boiled at the thought. So maybe it was Itachi's fault this all happened.. why did he have to come back? Better yet why did he have to even bother with Naruto anyways?

Naruto let out a deep sigh and looked over to the Raven who hadn't notice him come in, he didn't know why he was avoiding him anyways, he did keep him from getting a beating. The main reason Naruto even said the things he did was because the thought of the older Raven. So why was he hiding from him? He was so sick and tired of Sasuke and all his bullshit. The two were nothing alike, but Sasuke comes with Itachi, they are brothers after all. It isn't Itachi's fault and the blonde knew that, this started in middle school and neither of them were mature enough to settle it all.

Naruto took a deep breathe and got up, he walked over to the older Raven from behind. He tapped his shoulder lightly and that pale face he enjoys seeing so much turned to face him. "Naruto! When did you get in class?" Itachi had a slight hint of concern in his voice, some emotion for once.

It tinged at Naruto's heart, his breathing got deeper. "Sorry I've been avoiding you, I-Ita-san." He grabbed the ravens pale hands, cupping his over and bowing his head closely. "I'm sorry.." Itachi removed his hands and ruffled the hair of the boy in front of him. "Naruto.. don't worry, no need for apologies Naru.." he tweeked a smile or what was suppose to be one. "Naru I don't understand what is going on with you and Sasuke, why does he treat you like that?... I have a right to know, I did just punch him for a conflict between you I have no knowledge over , so if you don't mind.."

The Blond looked up, his bottom lip quivered, he nodded lightly to the Ravens request. "When we are out of school alright," to the Ravens surprise, asking for an explanation was much easier than he was expecting, He agreed with the Blond.

The rest of class Naruto sat in his desk without a glance to the Raven. Itachi listened to the conversations around, most went on, ignorance and gibberish. A few over school work and simple arguments. He zoomed in on one converse in particular, he believed it was between a small group, Neji, Hinata and Kiba. It went on,
The brunet spoke first, "Hey Neji, what the hell actually happened between those two idiots?"

Neji seemed orated just by having Kona near, reluctantly replying back "Did I ask you to talk to me? You od' to watch who you call an Idiot if you haven't seen how you behave." They snipped back and forth after that.

"HEY WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TOO!!"

"an Idiot thats who"

"WHY YOU--"

Hinata cut in awkwardly, "P-please d-don't agrue, K-Kiba,  N-Neji."

Kiba settled himself "Yea yea, but seriously Neji you have to have some on look,"

"If I said I would only be spreading assumptions . I've only heard what might have happened." Neji rolled his head back as he spoke,

"Tell me anyways,"

Neji nodded "What I've heard, from the Sasuke fanclub service, Naruto tried something on him and since he hadn't forgiven Naruto, but I heard they used to be the best of friends back then. You know that Fanclub is bais to Sasuke so the story is possibly just in his favor. But it's not any of our business anyways."
Kiba was left thinking about the situations so Itachi zoomed out from their conversation.

What a vague look that was given on the situation. Did no one actually know what happen with them besides those two? If so they were very good at keeping silent, he wanted both sides of the story though. He was going to get Naruto's and Sasuke's side, even if Sasuke is an asshole it's best to look over a situation that isn't your own in an objective view, besides Sasuke was still his brother but Naruto was his... friend. Itachi was gonna get to the bottom of this, he wasn't going to let this continue to stay out of hand, especially if he has any sort of chance, but he has to wait for the perfect time if things were to fall into place correctly. So this ordeal needed to be dealt with, and soon. Before confronting Sasuke he wanted to find out what mother knew, Maybe she had some insight of this all, of course, Father probably doesn't so that is pointless for him to ask.
