The Mystery of Love Hurts *ON HOLD*

Chapter 7: Itachi's Answer

Sasukes POV:

Naruto didn't come out of his shocked state at all, I ended up having to drive him back to my house . I figured since both our parents were involved, I'd ask my brother, Itachi, about it. Maybe he knows something about the case that could help us. He has to know something, he was old enough to remember things from then.

By the time we got to my house, Naruto calmed down enough to be able to speak, so he can help ask questions.

We walked into my house saw that Itachi wasn't home yet, so we had a bit of time to kill before he got home.

"Naruto, are you ok? I know that was some horrible information, I'm shocked about it too. But you seem to be taking this really bad." I looked over at him, not sure if I should touch him or not. He sighed and leaned on me, putting his head on my shoulder.

"I'm fine. I just don't know how to react to the fact that your parents killed mine. Its almost like, you killed me..." I froze. Does he really think that? Does that mean he blames me for his parents death? Does he hate me now? He looked up at my and turned my head to face him. I guess my face showed a bit of emotion, because he frowned slightly and gently caressed my cheek. Then he gave me a small smile.

"But, don't start thinking that I blame you. I know you didn't do it. And I told you before, your eyes are too kind and caring, you could never hurt anyone." I blinked. My eyes were damp. Am I crying? When was the last time I did that? Right, yesterday, before we fell asleep, he had said something similar and I cried then too. How does he do that? How is he able to break my signature emotionless wall?

Naruto moved and pulled me into a hug. I buried my face into his chest and cried silently while he ran his hands through my hair, comforting me. It was a few minutes before I calmed down and picked up my head. He smiles at me again and lifted my head up more so that our noses touched.

"Are you alright now?" He asked, running his hand through my hair again. I gave a slight nod, and leaned in to kiss him. He pulled me up closer to him and pressed more into our kiss, deepening it. We stayed like this, having our intense make out session on the couch, not even noticing the door openin and someone walking in.

"Should I leave you two alone?" The unnoticed person asked, obviously entertained by what they have walked in on. We both pulled away and blushed intensely and looked at the person who interrupted us.

"Ummm...no we're good. Welcome home, Itachi." I said, looking away from him and getting off of Naruto. Naruto looked over at my brother and smiled.

"Hey Itachi. How's your day been?"

"Its been good, thanks for asking. So, when did this happen?" Itachi asked pointing to the both of us. That's right, this is only the second day we've been together. Naruto laughed and sat up on the couch.

"Last night. He came over my house, and we kinda just got together." Naruto said looking over at me and smiled. Itachi nodded and came over to the couch.

"Good, I was waiting for you two to finally get together." I blushed and Naruto laughed. Was he really waiting for this?

"You mean you were secretly hoping for us to go out?" I asked, still a bit embarrassed for getting caught. Itachi laughed and nodded in agreement. I sighed, only my brother would secretly ship me and my best friend.

"But, there's something important that we have to ask you about. We can talk about me and Naruto's relationship later."

"Ok, so what is it?"

"Well, me and Naruto went up to the police station today, and found out something interesting. And before you ask why we went there, let me explain. We were talking last night, and I found out that Naruto's parents were killed. That's what gave us the idea to go to the station. After talking to our friends there, we found out that...that, our parents killed his. I know it sounds insane but, is true, and we were wondering if you knew anything about it." We both looked at my brother, hopeful that he would know something. He looked shocked, like he didn't know how to answer. He stuttered a bit before answering.

"I-I don't believe you. That couldn't be true. It can't be..."
