Chapter 1: The Dinner

At the large, clattered breakfast table sat Naruto Uzumaki. After being awoken by his loud alarm screeching the first verse of King for a Day, hastily brushing his teeth, lazily ignoring his wild blonde hair, throwing on a clean outfit, and stuffing his backpack to the brink with textbooks, Naruto finally made it downstairs for breakfast. As soon as he sat in his usual chair, the blonde grabbed a piece of wheat toast and began to munch on it while scrolling through his phone.

When his mother, Kushina, turned around from the stove threw one of her spoons at her son's head, "Naruto, put away your phone. This is time that you should be spending with your family."

"That's right, Naruto. Now eat your food or it's going to get cold," Minato, Naruto's father, agreed with his wife.

"Sorry," he said with a sheepish grin. Setting the phone aside, he dug into the large bowl of miso pork ramen. While he ate, his sapphire blue eyes never left the screen of his phone.

Minato noticed his son's suspicious behavior. Moving his eyes from the phone back up to Naruto's face he sighed, "What is so interesting about your phone, if I may ask?"

"N-nothing is up dad!" Naruto stuttered after slurping a noodle down.

Kushina gave a knowingly smile, "He's waiting for Sasuke to call him."

"No I'm not!" he sputtered.

"How is he? We haven't seen him since last month."

"Oh, I saw him just yesterday," Minato's wife said. With raised eyebrows, the oldest blonde silently asked Kushina to tell him more, "He snuck into our house last night to see Naruto. I heard him say something between the lines of 'ditching', 'the dinner', and 'going to a party'."

The second Kushina finished her sentence; Naruto was out the door with his saxophone and his book bag. The red headed woman felt her lips twitch. He had left his phone on the table.

Sasuke Uchiha stood outside of Konoha High School's band hall, waiting for his boyfriend to arrive so that they could walk to class together. He had just finished placing his trumpet in his cubby. While he was walking out he noticed that most of the girls, and some boys, were staring at him hungrily. Who could blame them? Sasuke had an angular, almost feminine face; dark onyx eyes glared at almost everything in his sight, and his dark brown hair was spiked in the back. This was the common appearance of the Uchihas.

Although he was the heartthrob of the school, first chair in his instrument, and excelled in every subject, Sasuke was stilled bullied because of his short height of 5 foot 3 inches and large ego. Fortunately, that was why he had Naruto to intimidate the bullies.

'Speaking of which, where is Naruto?' he thought.

He was quickly pulled out of his thoughts when he felt someone slip their arms around his waist from behind. Sasuke immediately tensed, but just as suddenly, he relaxed when he recognized the familiar body pressed against him.

"You're late, Naruto," Sasuke pouted.

As an apology, the blonde gave his loved one a quick peck on the lips, "Sorry, my parents held me up," he mumbled while nuzzling Sasuke's hair.

When the pulled apart, Naruto laced his fingers between the brunette's fingers and the couple walked to their English class. Once there, the former opened the door with a grin that made Sasuke's stomach flutter.

"I hope nothing goes wrong at the dinner tonight with both our parents," Sasuke drawled.

"Don't worry. I'm sure everything is going to be fine."

A frightening silence was a dark cloud as it settled over the Uchiha's dining table. At the head of the table sat the clan's grim head, Fugaku Uchiha. To his right sat Mikoto, his polite wife, Itachi, their eldest son, and lastly, Sasuke. The other side consisted of the Uzumakis, Minato placed himself at the other end of the table, Kushina was next to him, and Naruto fidgeted in his seat directly in front of Sasuke.

Every dinner with the Uchihas' were filled without chatter. But tonight, Kushina was the one to speak up.

With a smile she stated, "I heard that the Sabaku clan is looking for an agreeable girl to marry their heir," Kushina turned to the first son of the Uchihas with a look of inquiry, "Itachi, when do you think you'll be settling down?"

"I don't know yet, Mrs. Uzumaki," he replied politely with a stoic look, but his eyes held a look of amusement.

"I would be able to give them a girl."

Every single head whipped to Mikoto with a mixture of shock, curiosity, and absolute confusion.

Quickly, she fixated her eyes towards the ground, "I apologize. I shouldn't have said that," the woman glanced up, "Please forget that I ever said anything."

"Mikoto, don't speak of that incident," Minato choked out.

"What incident?" Kushina grounded out curiously.

"Minato, we should tell them. I've been living with this burden for thirteen years!" Fugaku's wife pleaded.

"No."

Silence once again settled over the table. Mikoto said with a determined expression "Thirteen years ago, I had a daughter with Minato."

Disbelief ran over the parties' faces. Sasuke looked at Naruto, searching for support. All he received was a blank shell of his boyfriend staring at his (Naruto's) father. Then all hell broke loose.

Kushina erupted from her chair and marched towards her husband, Minato pushed back from the table to avoid his spouse, Itachi threw a look of disappointment at his own mother, and Sasuke began hyperventilating in his seat. Naruto rushed off to assist his lover. Just as he reached him, everyone was left quiet when the heard someone bellow, "Cease!"

All movement was stopped as if someone pushed the pause button the on a television remote. Minato was currently trying to release Kushina's grip of his shirt, Itachi froze in his nervous pacing, Sasuke's chest stopped heaving so heavily, and Naruto's hand had just landed on the youngest Uchiha's back.

Fugaku expression was unreadable and his face was hidden under a menacing shadow. He turned to Mikoto and spoke in a tone so quiet; it was deadly, "Tell us everything starting from the beginning."

Sighing, she inhaled a deep breath and began.

A/N: So basically, this came out of nowhere while I was reading Wuthering Heights. The song "King for a day" is by Pierce the Veil. Since in ALMOST, every fanfic I read, Sasuke is the emoish one, I AM GOING TO CHANGE THIS. Instead, Naruto is going to be the rocker thingy-person (i don't know what's wrong with me either).

This is my first series, so... DON'T BE A MEANIE. Anyways the plot is going to quite crazy so bear with me.

Sincerely from,

Scarecrow
