Hekki bottom everyone,

Reviews:

inuyasha16451: Thank you very much. :)

Mkayemolina: He is closer to them and you notice that they all decided to learn sign language that's why Naruto didn't start talking yet. He will make friends.

TigrezzTail: Yeah I actually love sign language. Yeah, they are going to be some of his first friends outside of the Uchiha family.

Mikuqueen: It will and they will become friends.

naruita14: Je vous remercie. :)

Ita1412: Sasuke is the more violent one out of the two brothers. Thank you.

Enjoy everyone.

Itachi noticed the changes in Naruto and himself as he got older and as much as he didn't want to admit it, he was starting to hold a flame to Naruto.

"What is wrong with you?" Shisui asked.

Shisui was their cousin that started living with them only a year prior.

"Nothing," Itachi said.

"I heard uncle Fugaku say that Naruto didn't have to go to the therapist anymore," Shisui said making Itachi turn quickly.

"What are you talking about?" Itachi asked.

"He said it's not needed anymore because Naruto seems to be doing fine," Shisui said.

"I thought father was doing it so Naruto would talk again?" Itachi asked.

"Not that I know of," Shisui said.

Shisui was two years older than the two of them and he still didn't really understand the connection Fugaku had with Naruto. He has been around them and noticed the only person to not have a strong connection to Naruto was himself.

"I am going to go ask," Itachi said getting up from his desk right out his bedroom door.

Itachi noticed that Naruto seemed to be outside more often and playing sports more so. He even hung out with friends even though they didn't speak sign language like him. Itachi found it annoying when Naruto asked to spend time out of the house and sleep at other houses. Itachi didn't really understand the jealous nagging feeling he had and he didn't want to talk about it to anyone either.

"Father," Itachi said as he walked into the living room where Naruto and Fugaku were.

"Yes, Itachi?" Fugaku asked turning to his oldest son.

"Hey Naruto," Itachi said getting a nod from Naruto with a warm smile. "I heard you don't have to go to the therapist anymore so does that mean you can try out for basketball with me?" Itachi asked.

Naruto gave him a big smile that said it all. Naruto signed will he teach him more moves.

"You know I will," Itachi said with a smile.

"Shisui told you I assume?" Fugaku said with a smile.

"Yeah, just now I just wanted to confirm it," Itachi said.

"You can play basketball but if anything happens to tell someone," Fugaku said getting a nod from Naruto and Itachi.

The door to the house suddenly opened with a very angry Sasuke. He didn't say anything to anyone just went upstairs and slammed his bedroom door. Mikoto came into the living shortly after.

"What's wrong with him?" Fugaku asked.

"He had a rough day at school today because of the girls in his class," Mikoto said.

"Fangirls?" Itachi asked.

"Probably, say Itachi why don't you go talk to him and figure it out?" Mikoto asked.

"Okay mother," Itachi said getting up and going back upstairs.

Itachi didn't notice until he got upstairs that Naruto was behind him.

"You want to come?" Itachi asked only to get a nod from Naruto.

They didn't say anything and just walked to Sasuke's room. When they got there, they knocked on his door for Sasuke to open the door with an angry scowl on his face.

"What happened with you?" Itachi asked.

'What's wrong?' Naruto signed.

"Stupid girls in my class they keep clinging to me," Sasuke grumbled.

"That is part of being a good looking Uchiha little cousin," Shisui said standing behind the other two.

"Shut up Shisui no one asked you." Sasuke snapped. "If that is the case why doesn't Itachi have fangirls?" Sasuke snapped.

"Oh, I do they just are scared to come near me," Itachi said.

"Why? What did you do to get that type of response?" Sasuke pleaded.

'It's because I am around,' Naruto signed.

"It's not because of you Naruto," Sasuke said.

"Oh, you understand now?" Itachi said proudly.

"That's because Naruto is teaching me and he bought me a book for sign language," Sasuke said turning his head embarrassed.

'You don't have to be shy,' Naruto signed.

"I'm not shy!" Sasuke screamed.

"You're blushing," Shisui said.

Itachi didn't like this. It was really bothering him and he wasn't really sure why. It's not like the two weren't already close. Itachi's thoughts couldn't go too far before his surroundings kicked back in from someone tapping him.

'Are you okay?' Naruto signed while Shisui and Sasuke argued.

"I am fine," Itachi whispered turning back to his brother. "Now do you want to know how to keep them away from you?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke nodded his head quickly.

"Do you have anyone in your class that is like Deidara?" Itachi asked and Naruto started to laugh quietly.

That is actually the only time you heard a small sound come out his mouth.

"Yeah his name is Kiba Inuzuka," Sasuke said.

"Sit next to him and you shouldn't have any problem," Itachi said.

"Would if he doesn't want me to sit by him?" Sasuke asked.

"Who cares," Itachi said. "Become friends with him," Itachi said.

"For my own personal gain?" Sasuke asked.

'No, you be friends with him if you want to be friends with him. See if he will help you willingly,' Naruto signed.

"Okay, that sounds like a good plan. I will talk to you guys later I have to do my homework," Sasuke said about to close the door.

Naruto stopped it though before the door could shut making Sasuke look at him.

'I don't go to therapy anymore so I am going to play basketball now,' Naruto said.

"That's good man," Sasuke said patting his shoulder. "We can talk about soccer later too," Sasuke said.

"Soccer?" Itachi asked confused.

"He's learning all the sports to find out which one he likes best," Sasuke said.

Itachi didn't like that Sasuke knew something he didn't and it seemed to read off his face because Naruto moved away and walked to his room really quickly.

"Itachi don't make him uncomfortable," Sasuke said swatting his arm.

"What do you mean?" Itachi asked.

"You made him uncomfortable," Sasuke said gesturing toward Naruto. "That's why he ran away to his room," Sasuke said.

"Why did he tell you he wanted to learn other sports and not me?" Itachi asked feeling jealous.

"Because he doesn't want to learn the other sports from you because you only play basketball and baseball," Sasuke said.

"What do you mean?" Itachi asked again.

"He's meaning that Naruto wants to learn basketball because you play it," Shisui said filling it in for him.

"Oh," Itachi said turning bright red because of two reasons.

"No need to be embarrassed everyone makes mistakes," Shisui said.

"He doesn't want to learn basketball because he's interested, he wants to learn basketball from you because you enjoy it and he wants to hang out with you." Sasuke corrected.

"What do you mean?" Itachi asked confused.

"I mean that he likes you," Sasuke said simply shutting the door on the other two Uchiha.

"..." Itachi and Shisui were clueless about what to say.

"So..." Shisui started only to look at the bright blush on Itachi's face making Itachi run to his room.

Shisui was now confused in the hallway by himself. It was going to be a long night in the Uchiha household with all the kids in their rooms.

Itachi studied for at least an hour more until he got hungry and the top floor was so quiet.

"Kakashi I understand but he is already adjusted here what would be the point in taking him now?" Fugaku asked over the phone as Itachi went down the stairs.

He spotted Naruto at the bottom and was about to walk back up but the conversation his father was having piqued his interest.

"Naruto is already adjusted here and you taking him away now isn't fair to him or to us who he has gotten used to," Fugaku said.

Itachi ran down the stairs next to Naruto to see that tears were going down his face.

'What's going on?' Itachi signed.

'This man yesterday said that my dad was his teacher and he was meant to take care of me if something happened.' Naruto signed quickly that Itachi didn't understand.

'Wait what? I didn't understand. Too fast,' Itachi signed back.

Naruto looked frustrated, "He wants to take me away," Naruto said but his lips didn't move.

"Naruto..." Itachi said shocked.

'He wants to take me away,' Naruto signed.

"What was that?" Itachi asked.

"I can speak in your head, I have telepathy," Naruto said in his head.

'Who knows?' Itachi asked.

'Sasuke, Mikoto, and Fugaku,' Naruto signed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Itachi asked hurt.

'I was scared,' Naruto signed.

'Why?' Itachi signed.

'Because I didn't want you to think I was a freak,' Naruto signed.

"I wouldn't think that way about you," Itachi said softly.

"Kakashi you're not understanding," Fugaku said sighing into his hands. "Minato wanted him with someone who understands him and sorry to say this but after years of being with me how do you expect him to go with you?" Fugaku demanded.

"Do you want to go with him?" Itachi asked looking at Naruto.

Naruto shook his head violently saying no.

"Give me a minute," Itachi said standing up.

Naruto tried to get his arm but instead was dragged to the living room by Itachi.

"Father," Itachi stated sternly.

"What is it Itachi? Hang on Kakashi," Fugaku said putting his phone down.

"Naruto doesn't want to go with this Kakashi man he wants to stay here with us. Don't let him take Naruto away," Itachi stated clearly.

Fugaku couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face. It was sweet and Fugaku thought it was nice of his oldest son to be that considerate. Fugaku pulled the phone back to his ear.

"You heard that Kakashi Naruto wants to stay with us and since he is thirteen, he can legally choose where he wants to stay. Plus, my boys won't let him go without a fight." Fugaku said ruffling Naruto's hair with a fond smile. "Not only that but Naruto isn't going to accept going with anyone else," Fugaku said making Naruto grin.

Itachi heard the yelling get louder on the phone and started to pull Naruto away.

"I don't care what Minato wants at the moment. I care about the welfare and care for Naruto." Fugaku snapped pulling away from the boys.

Itachi smiled at Naruto.

"My father isn't going to let you go," Itachi smiled dragging Naruto back upstairs.

'Where are we going?' Naruto signed.

"Outside to play basketball," Itachi said as they went up the stairs.

It was a sweet bond the two had and Itachi didn't know what his feelings would be later on in the future but at the moment he was happy that Naruto was even around. It was going to get a lot different from here on out.

Reviews...

Now his power is out. The telepathy that Naruto has is that he can speak into other people's heads if he wanted to but he has to have some type of link to them. Just to let everyone know he does know how to talk but chooses not to. He will soon though.
