Chapter 1:
Everyone was busy bustling about the enormous Uchiha mansion... They were all getting things ready for dinner. Itachi and Sasuke were helping the kids set the table, Kabuto was setting up the Yakiniku grills, Orochimaru was chopping vegetables, his adorable fourteen year old daughter Rin was helping by washing and preparing fruit, Suigetsu was making drinks, and Sakura was preparing the meat to be cooked. The others were cleaning the house to prepare for everyone's arrival. Everyone was doing their part to get things ready for tonight.
Sakura Yakushi was very excited about tonight's events. And she had such a fun evening planned... They were having a special dinner to celebrate Rin getting out of the hospital and making a full recovery. She'd been doing well these past few days and seemed to be feeling great. It was also to celebrate a certain couple, who were great friends of theirs, getting together recently.
"When's everyone going to get here?" Rin asked her mother, with a blank expression.
Her cute little voice brought a smile to Sakura's face. "Our guests should be here soon. Don't worry, we invited quite a few people, but not enough to make it too crowded."
"I thought the Haruno girl was already here?" Orochimaru, Rin's father, cut in. He paused in his chopping, placing the large knife down on the cutting board momentarily.
"She is," Sakura nodded. "We're just waiting on Naruto. And we have one more guest coming too..." She could feel the smirk slowly spread across her face. She hadn't told anyone about it yet. She knew they would object.
Several members of her family looked at her with sudden concern. What was she talking about? Sasuke raised his eyebrows, obviously wanting to know who it was, but unwilling to actually ask. At their silence, she finally caved...
"I also invited Madara to join us for this feast."
"Madara?!" Sasuke's jaw dropped. "Are you crazy?!"
Everyone's heads had turned to stare at her. It was clear that the cat girl now had their full and undivided attention. She smiled, a light purr escaping her.
"Yes... I thought it would be nice to have another member of our family over."
"After everything he's done to us?" Sasuke hissed, getting visibly upset. He walked away, leaving the room and muttering to himself under his breath. She knew he would be fine though. It was too late now anyway.
"What'd he do?" Rin asked, her big golden eyes looking up at her father. Orochimaru only shrugged though, tossing his long black hair over one shoulder and going back to his task of chopping the vegetables for tonight's dinner. He'd cleverly decided to avoid the question.
"I'll tell you what the bastard did." Itachi growled, long and low. He spoke, his voice wrapping around the room like dark silk. "He put us through hell when we were younger... Sasuke and I... There were times I thought we wouldn't make it. He's a sick pervert and shouldn't even be allowed back on our family's domain. It's blasphemous. I don't understand why she would invite him."
"Listen, I know he did a lot of bad things to you when you were younger," His wife tried to clarify, even though she knew it wouldn't fully remedy the situation. "But I believe that people can change. It was a long time ago... And he is still an Uchiha."
While she did make good points, the look of pure hatred in Itachi's eyes was enough intimidate even the most fearsome of Shinobi. And it was impossible to miss the way his teeth grit together, and how his fingers clenched into fists until the knuckles turned white with pure repressed rage. Sasuke had left awfully quickly. He'd seemed almost... scared, or something?
"While that is a good point, I hardly think it's appropriate for you to invite someone who once abused one of your husbands, and your brother too." Her first husband Kabuto chimed in, with one hand on his hip.
His son, also aptly named Kabuto, was his spitting image. He was busy helping the other prepare food. His brother, Sasuke, who was Itachi's son, was helping him as well. It had become a rare occurrence to see one anywhere without the other. The two were inseparable. The two teenagers only watched the conversation curiously, wondering how all of this would play out.
"I just thought a kind gesture might go a long way in reuniting our fallen clan... It means a lot to me... I wanted him to be here."
"Fine. But if he tries to so much as lay a hand on you," Itachi warned, the blood red of the Sharingan swirling ever so slowly in his eyes, as they narrowed. "I can't be held responsible for what I do."
It was understandable that if he showed any signs of blatant misconduct, that there would be consequences. She hoped that everything went smoothly though.
"Ohoho!" Rin grinned, skipping about the kitchen delightedly. "Something tells me a fight's gonna go down! I wanna stab him too!"
She snatched the knife from her father, and began running away with it. Then she switched to skipping, but still managed to elude his grasp. She even danced around the numerous snakes he summoned to hold her. Being no stranger to snakes, she'd studied their movements enough to know precisely where and when they would strike.
"Rin!" Orochimaru snapped, rushing after her. "Get back here!"
"Somebody's gonna get it!" She continued in a sing-song voice. "Somebody's gonna get it!"
She stopped when she accidentally ran into her mother, the knife falling to the floor, forgotten. Her father scooped it up, took it to Kabuto junior for him to wash it off, and returned to his previous task. Sakura patted her teenage daughter's head.
"If you don't calm down, that somebody's going to be you!" Sakura warned in a motherly tone.
She didn't know what to say to any of that, so she just nodded.
A strange melody flowed through the entirety of the Uchiha mansion from out of nowhere. The residents recognized it as their doorbell. Someone was here. There was a pause. Everyone stopped what they were doing for a moment.
"Come on in!" Suigetsu called, since no one else had bothered to answer the door, and he was still busy in the kitchen. That was his lazy way of answering it.
The door opened, and a stunning blond man with scars along both of his cheeks in the shape of whiskers stood in the doorway. He smiled, and it was radiant enough to warm everyone's hearts inside out.
"Naruto!" Sakura Haruno rushed over to greet him. She'd been waiting in the den, while the others worked to prepare dinner. "I'm so glad you could make it."
"Are you kidding?" The host of the nine-tailed fox grinned cheekily. "I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
"How is it that you're both arriving here separately? I would've thought you two would have been spending a lot of time together lately?" A deep voice said from behind him.
The couple turned, and Sakura practically leapt into Naruto's arms, and stared at him with startled eyes.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked, as blunt as ever. The blond cuddled his new girlfriend, pulling her close to him in a protective manner.
"Oh, hello!" Sakura Yakushi rushed into the room, her silvery tail trailing behind her majestically. "It's nice to see you, Madara."
"Ack! Ah-haauuack! Haack! Oouuuhh, aaaack!" Sasuke made loud gagging noises from the other room. It sounded like he was trying to force himself to throw up and failing miserably at it.
"It'll be alright, Uncle Sasuke..." His nephew came over to comfort him, patting the man he was named after on the back.
"Don't forget to breathe." Kabuto said, in passing, and smiled warmly.
"Hey Sakura-chan..." Madara purred sweetly, in that typical smooth and arrogant way that all Uchiha men seemed to have about them. He'd gone so far as to wear an extravagant tuxedo to tonight's event, even though he'd been told it wasn't going to be a terribly formal affair. His long choppy black hair cascaded down his back, lending the otherwise elegant man a terribly 'rock star-esque' look. "Thank you very much for inviting me tonight."
"It's no problem at all." She smiled, politely ignoring the way her brother was acting. "This is Sakura Haruno, and this is Naruto. I'm sure you know of him already."
"Are you kidding? They're the talk of the town right now! Hahaha..." He laughed in a charming manner. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Yeah, you too..." Naruto mumbled, although he eyed the older man shiftily. Apparently Sasuke had told him stuff.
After they all bowed to one another, he entered, closing the door behind him.
"If you three want to go ahead and sit down, dinner should be served shortly. I'm getting ready to do the same, since I'm already finished doing my part." Sakura purred, still maintaining her pleasant demeanor.
Madara followed the cat girl to the dining room, and the other two did the same. There was an enormous table set up, with lots of little grills filled with coals in front of each seat. Suigetsu pulled out a chair for him, although he was tempted to pull it out from under him. The only reason he didn't was due to a certain feline Hokage giving him a look that said it would be in his best interest not to do anything detrimental to the atmosphere of the evening.
He crossed the room and did the same for Naruto and his pink haired girlfriend, before going back into the kitchen. The shark man was being oddly quiet right now. It made the others wonder what he was up to.
"I just have to check on one thing really quick. I'll be right back."
After bowing gracefully to her guests, Sakura disappeared into the kitchen. She needed a moment to compose herself before tonight's festivities would begin. As soon as she'd entered the room, however, she was confronted by her brother.
"I can't believe you actually invited him over! And that he's even here! He has some nerve to even show his face around us!" Sasuke hissed, in a hushed tone, so their other guests wouldn't overhear.
"Don't worry," Her daughter smiled up at her, her long dark hair falling all around her face just like her father's always did. "I'll kill him if he tries anything! I'll protect you, Mom!"
Sakura only laughed lightly, trying not to let her get too carried away.
"For once, I agree with Sasuke. Do you think this is exactly a good environment for our little Rin?" Orochimaru attempted to make a point, but it was lost when his daughter begin laughing mischievously.
"Bahaha! Are you kidding me, Dad?! I can't wait!" Rin smiled really big, covertly grabbing a large knife from the counter. They'd gone back to talking and arguing amongst themselves for the time being. The girl exited the kitchen, offering their guests a cute little curtsy as she walked out.
"Ah, you must be Rin." Madara chuckled.
No one saw the knife she hid behind her back... She managed to sit down while still hiding it between herself and the chair. Now no one would know at all.
"Rin, get back here!" Her mother called, to no avail.
Sakura had started to follow her out to stop her from leaving, but once she saw that everyone was pretty much ready to eat, and Suigetsu was already serving drinks, she decided to take her place at the head of the table. She would let her daughter's antics slide, for now. She'd just been through a lot anyway.
"So... Madara..." The youngest member of their family chirped. Suigetsu was standing behind the man, and he shook his head no at her, his white bangs falling into his face and hiding his lavender slit eyes. But little Rin ignored his warning. "I've heard a lot about you."
"Really? You don't say?" He smirked, in typical Uchiha fashion. "I've heard quite a bit about you too."
"What? Really?"
"Of course. The legendary Sannin Orochimaru doesn't have a kid without people talking... And with the lovely Hokage, no less." He turned to Sakura, offering her a wink. She blushed brightly.
Itachi cleared his throat, choosing that exact moment to shuffle into the dining room. He sat down with a loud thud, placing a glass down on the wooden table so hard that it was amazing it didn't shatter.
"Madara." He said his Uncle's name coldly, nodding in his direction. He refused to say anything else. Every now and then he would shoot him a death glare, but that was all.
"Itachi."
Orochimaru took his seat between Sakura and Rin, sitting just to his wife's right. "Perhaps we should get on with this evening's festivities, hmm?" He cast a glance at the blond and rosette sitting further down the table. "Naruto, Sakura, it's good to see you again."
"Nice to see you too." Naruto responded. They had decided to let bygones be bygones a long while ago.
Kabuto came in, and silently sat on the other side of Konoha's Hokage, between her and Madara. He'd been quiet for most of the night. It was hard to tell what he might be thinking about all of this. It made her wish that she'd had a chance to ask him before dinner had started. Oh well... He did have a charming quiet quality about him that endeared him to Sakura. He loved her dearly and their bond was still as strong as ever.
"Yes..." Sakura waited for everyone else to come out and sit down. The food was brought out too, on large serving trays, so that everyone could take whatever they wanted. "As most of you already know, I've invited everyone here tonight to celebrate Rin being released from the hospital and overcoming her recent illness. And we have another cause to celebrate as well... As..." She trailed off.
She cast a glance at Sakura Haruno and her boyfriend, Naruto. Everyone was whispering and murmuring among themselves, but the couple sat perfectly still. They knew what was coming.
"Oh?" Madara leaned his chin on one hand, as if she'd piqued his interest.
"Go on, honey... You can do it." Kabuto gently laced his fingers with hers, linking their hands. The supportive gesture was not missed. She'd been a bit nervous about public speaking in front of everyone, but it gave her the courage she needed to continue.
Another comfort she had was the fact that their pretty white cat, nicknamed Fire Paw Ace, was lying on the table next to her. She looked into his eyes and felt a kinship with him. It made sense, considering they were both cats. The two had shared a special kind of bond, ever since Suigetsu had first adopted him and brought him home. Ace's fluffy tail swished, as he groomed himself nonchalantly.
"We're also here tonight to celebrate the joining of Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki. They just started dating. They are both great friends of mine, and I'd like you all to treat them with respect. I'd like to wish them my congratulations."
Everyone nodded in agreement, clinking their glasses together at her eloquent toast.
"Aww, that's sweet..." Madara smiled, playing nice for now.
"Yeah," Sasuke came in late, trying to ignore the fact that his Uncle was even there. He sat near his own nephew and turned to Naruto, his best friend. They did a quick fist bump. "About time you two got together."
He'd vowed long ago that he would strive to be a much better Uncle to little Sasuke than his own ever was. He wouldn't do such disgusting, vile things to him... Wouldn't force him to be with anyone he didn't want to. Wouldn't blackmail him, wouldn't-
'No, I need to stop thinking about this, before I trigger some really bad memories. No use getting upset over it all over again.' Sasuke thought, trying desperately not to let the others know how upset he was. He felt Itachi walk in behind him, the last one to the dinner table as usual, and place a firm yet steady hand on his shoulder.
"Well, I wanna hear details!" Suigetsu interjected, trying to make sure the focus stayed off of their other less-than-welcome dinner guest. "How did you two get together, after all?"
People had already begun reaching for food and filling their plates. They were having Yakiniku tonight. It was Sakura's idea, and she had been right. It was a hit! Everyone seemed to love the idea of being able to grill their own food to their liking, right in front of them on their own little grill. It was so nice the way Kabuto had set it up.
Before any further conversation could take place, the Hokage made some complicated handsigns and summoned the Fire Jutsu that her clan was known for. She cast it very carefully from each of her palms, simultaneously lighting all of the grills for everyone. The others clapped and cheered as she did it.
"Yay! Go Mom!" Rin cheered, nearly falling out of her seat.
"That was awesome, Sakura!" The other Sakura said, giggling. It had amused her greatly.
"Yeah, it's nice to see the Uchiha clan alive and well." Naruto chuckled, before quickly changing the subject to avoid focusing on a sore subject too much. "Oh, I think pretty much everyone knows how long I've had a crush on Sakura here... But first I had to break things off with Hinata. I finally told her off."
"Why?" Suigetsu asked, still being a bit nosey, even as he pressed his meat into the grill that sat in front of him. He took a big bite, chomping down on it with his huge sharp teeth. Many others were doing the same, while they were talking.
"Because she was creepy, man!" Naruto blurted, flailing his arms about while he told the story. "She would always stalk me and it was getting way out of hand."
"It was ridiculous." Sakura agreed, rolling her eyes. She was still busy cutting up her food into smaller, more manageable bites. "Not to mention pathetic. The girl is a total psycho."
The blond Shinobi continued with his rant. "Not to even mention the fact that she's put my life in danger countless times! That's not the part that bothered me the most though... It was the way she had to endanger the lives of countless others as well. There's no way I could stand for that. Being with her just... Didn't feel right at all."
"I know how you feel..." The Haruno girl coughed awkwardly, trying not to look at anyone. This was too much for her.
The Hokage nodded, her tail swishing back and forth. She knew of many of the other things that Hinata had done. "Well I'm sorry, but I always knew she was crazy... She outright attacked me and at least half of the village was put in direct danger because of her. Why she came after me, I'm not sure."
"Maybe because you tried to interfere?" Kabuto pointed out.
"Maybe..." Naruto agreed. "Sorry I got you all mixed up in it, Hokage-sama..."
"What did she do?" Orochimaru asked. "I don't recall ever hearing about this."
"Well, first she tried to attack me." Sakura Haruno pointed out, while chewing on a cookie.
Naruto had grabbed a stick of dango. "Yeah... After I said I would have preferred to be with Sakura over her, she went nuts!" He laughed it off, and his laughter was infectious. Everyone else joined in, thinking about how hysterical that must have been... "She attacked the Hokage, went after me in a rage, and tried to attack Sakura here too." He put an arm around his girl for emphasis.
"To be fair," Sakura pointed out. "You called her a creepy stalker. And a lot of other bad names."
"Because that's what she is!" He countered, while still laughing. "Anyway... I had to follow my heart. So I came to the woman I loved most, pouring my heart out to her. Turns out she felt the same way. She loved me in return. And I'm just so happy!"
"Of course I love you," Sakura smiled, nuzzling into his neck as they sat at the table together. "How could I not?"
"Awww!" The other Sakura squealed with delight, her ears perking straight up. She could barely contain herself. "That's sooo cuuuuuute, nyyyaaahhhhh~"
"It's quite a story." Madara nodded in agreement.
"Yeah... Anyway, let's eat!" Naruto began chowing down. He was shoveling food into his mouth at a comically alarming rate.
His girlfriend could only giggle and shake her head at his antics. She reached for some of the fresh fruit and vegetables that were also on the table. Everyone was too busy eating to say much for a while... And after everything that Naruto had just explained, it sounded like they should all just be happy for the new couple. They'd all known of the blond's feelings for the girl for a long while now.
"Congrats on getting out of the hospital too, Rin." The Haruno girl ran a single hand through her pink hair as the spoke, taking care to include the main reason for this little get-together.
"Eh, it's no big deal... I get hurt a lot." She replied, dully. Rin really didn't want to talk to any of these people. She was actually a violent tempered child and loved to fight. "I would've much rather been kicking people's asses though, I-"
"Rin!" Her mother scolded her. "What have I told you about cursing at the dinner table?"
"To not do it..." The little girl sighed. "Sorry, I meant to say butt."
"Suuuure..." Her older brother Sasuke chimed in.
"Well, I must say..." Madara made a show of licking his fingers after finishing his meal. "This was delicious. Thank you for inviting me."
"It's no problem at all," Sakura smiled at her distant relative. "It's nice having family dinners like this sometimes. We should do it more often."
"Yes we should." He agreed with the cat girl.
"I don't know about that really..." Itachi said, a hidden warning lacing his voice. He shot her a look. "But I suppose this was nice. Now... If you'll excuse me."
"You're leaving already?" Sasuke asked him. It was pretty clear that his brother didn't want to be stuck here with Madara either.
"Wait!" Kabuto told them both, halting the older Uchiha in his tracks before he could get out of there. Itachi sat back down at the table to see what he wanted. Sakura did not miss the long, angsty sigh that escaped his perfect lips though. "We haven't even had dessert yet."
"I'll get it!" Suigetsu used the excuse to get up and leave such an awkward situation far far behind...
He didn't particularly like the atmosphere in the room. Things were getting tense. And being the newest person to move into the mansion with the rest of them, he felt that he should be the one doing most of the work. Especially tonight, when everyone was so stressed. He liked to feel useful anyway. He was just happy that Sakura wanted him to live with her too. And at least the others didn't seem to mind too much.
When the shark man returned, he had several large trays of sweets. "These are called domino cookies," He explained, setting the tray of dark brown cookies down. "They're chocolate flavored, with white chocolate chunks."
"And they're freaking delicious!" Sakura added, clapping her hands and grabbing several.
Everyone else took some too. Young Kabuto and Sasuke were already bickering over them.
"Mooom~" Kabuto whined, adjusting his glasses. "He stole my cookie!"
"Tch." Sasuke folded his arms, in typical Uchiha fashion. "I'm gonna steal more than that if you don't shut up!"
The two seemed to realize what he'd just said, and their eyes met for a brief moment... Then they looked away very quickly, a heavy blush settling over both of their faces. She decided not to interfere. Things were already awkward enough, as it was.
"We have other desserts too. I'll be back in a moment."
Suigetsu disappeared into the kitchen again. There was a comfortable silence settling in throughout the room, as everyone sampled the delicious cookies that had been passed around.
It was then that Madara chose to make his move. "Speaking of dessert..." He licked his lips slowly, staring at their host. "I never imagined there would be such a sweet dish here tonight... You look positively ravishing in that kimono, Sakura-chan."
Sakura didn't know what to say, so she froze. His words caused her to blush as well. Before she could react, Sasuke threw something at him, which he dodged. It ended up being an empty glass, which hit the wall behind him and cracked, but luckily didn't shatter... He slammed his fists down on the table.
"Leave her alone, you psycho!" He pointed at his Uncle, in an obviously accusing way.
"DIE!" Rin screamed, taking out the knife that she'd hidden away earlier. In the confusion, she darted halfway across the room before her father had gotten up and managed to grab her.
"Hold it right there," Orochimaru cooed, holding her back by the collar of her little white dress. "You aren't getting involved in this."
"The hell I'm not! He threatened my mother, I'll be damned if I'm not gonna do something about it!" She flailed, trying to wrench herself free. Orochimaru summoned some snakes to hold her still, and they curled around her body, holding her in place. When she realized that she couldn't get free, she turned back to Madara, glaring daggers at him. "Fight me, you bastard!"
"My dear, I would never fight you." He laughed it off, treating the whole thing as a joke. "You are far too sweet for that." His comment was half sarcastic, but in the chaos of Rin's temper tantrum, everyone seemed to have missed it.
"Give me the knife, sweetie..." Sakura persuaded her daughter to hand it over, finally.
"We've got dango in a sweet sauce, and... Who wants a cream pie?" Suigetsu placed the other desserts down on the table, oblivious as to what was going on.
"You should all calm down and try some," The cat girl shoved a pie in Rin's face, insisting that she eat it. Mostly it was to shut her up so she couldn't say anything that might offend their guests. "It's very sweet."
And then Madara had to continue... The old pervert just could not resist such an opportunity. "I'm sure it can't possibly be as sweet as you. And now, I have another idea in mind for dessert... Maybe a better kind of cream pie, ne?" He winked.
"Hey, whoa! Fuck off!" Kabuto got up and was instantly right in his face. "Let me tell you something, buddy... That's my wife! And you'd better not even think of touching her! She's mine, you hear me?!"
"Get out of here!" Rin shouted, having had enough drama for the evening. Now she wanted bloodshed. "Before I go completely off..."
"See what this causes?" Sasuke mentioned offhandedly to his sister. "I told you so."
While he was sulking in an emo fashion and refusing to have any dessert, Madara was already digging in. It seemed that he really did like the pie. And he was making quite the lewd show of eating it, dipping his tongue slowly into the cream on top, while eyeing Sakura from the side. He didn't care who saw it or what they thought.
"I'm very skilled with my tongue... And other things." The lecher continued.
"That's enough!" Itachi slammed his fist down onto the table. "There are children present. You really should take this somewhere else."
"Dude..." Suigetsu deadpanned. "Don't make me bite you, okay?"
Itachi was sending him classic Uchiha death glares and Sasuke was doing the same. Finally, something they agreed on! Rin was seriously going off now. She got even angrier and hit the middle of the table, breaking it into a thousand pieces. No one would be having anymore dessert after that.
"DIE!" The little girl shouted, twisting out of her father's grasp by using her own Jutsu to counteract his, and diving across the table where she lunged at the man with a knife. "You jerkface, I'll kill you!"
Then she realized that she could have just summoned her own snakes to take care of him. If her father could do it, so could she... The angry teenager began making handsigns rapidly, a hostile gleam in her serpent-like eyes. Just then, her hands were grabbed by someone who was standing behind her. She looked up and tilted her head back to see Suigetsu growling menacingly at the other man.
"I know he's being a jackass right now," Suigetsu shot him a dirty look too, but most of his focus was on restraining the little one. "But we can't have you go around attacking our guests, alright?"
Kabuto junior stood up, pushing back his chair. It made a scraping noise as it slid across the floor. "I agree. In fact, I think I speak for everyone here when I say that I don't like your attitude."
"Hn," Itachi glared. "You should go, Madara."
The man didn't budge. He merely sat there with an arrogant smirk. "Sakura's the one who invited me here. Don't you think she should get a say?"
"Maybe you should tone it down a bit," She suggested, although she didn't seem terribly upset by his advances either. It seemed to bother the others a lot more than her. She was a little frightened though. "And you can still stay the night. I hate to say it, but maybe you should consider leaving early?"
"Make no mistake," Kabuto spoke with pure malice in his voice. His eyes narrowed in a deadly way as he crossed the room in seconds, getting right in Madara's face. "I want you gone first thing in the morning! And you'd better not so much as lay a hand on Sakura. She's mine! Got it?"
"I agree," Itachi rose, feeling that it was his family, so he should also say something. "You can stay in the guest room, alone... And Sakura will not be joining you. No matter what you think."
Madara nodded, and Kabuto finally let go of the collar of his shirt. He fell back into his chair. "Alright... I can tell when I'm not wanted. It's getting late anyway."
The stubborn man got up and headed for one of the guest rooms. It seemed he was already well acquainted with the layout of the Uchiha mansion, but that made sense, given his own lineage. He closed the door quietly and softly, not seeming to be the least bit concerned by what the others thought of him.
