disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I wish I did...cause that'd be SO COOL! However, I do own Tatiana . I'm just gonna say this once, it applies to every chapter.


Sasuke and Sakura had been together for almost four years. Since getting engaged the previous month, the couple decided to finally live together. It would be the perfect romantic life, except for the fact that Sasuke's best friends had to move in too, and his younger sister, Tatiana. Not exactly the romantic idea, but they'd have to deal. Right now all the mattered was planning the wedding and their future together. Sasuke and Sakura were envied by many, being stereotyped as the "perfect couple". Always together, never leaving each other's side, they were madly in love with each other. Sakura adored her fiancé, and did anything and everything for him, as Sasuke did for Sakura as well. They referred to each other as their 'one and only'. But, hearing the two talk to each other in stupid voices, call each other baby names, and listening to them fight over who loved who more, can easily annoy the people around them.

A huge white van sped down the highway, with Sasuke driving and Sakura close by in the passenger seat. The two had their hands on the middle glove-compartment, laced fingers. Tatiana and Kiba sat in the next row of seats, and Shikamaru and Naruto in the back. Tatiana leaned on the window sill, staring blankly out at the trees whipping past the van. It was raining, and the droplets painted the van windows with spots. Rain always put Tatiana in a gloom. She folded her arms and let out a deep sigh.

"When are we getting there?" Tatiana asked, coming out of her daydream. Sakura turned around with a smile and replied,

"In about ten minutes," and turned back. She leaned over and kissed her fiancé on the cheek, and smiled.

"Get a room, seriously." Tatiana said. She turned back to the window, sighed, and stared at the black clouds above. She crossed her legs and leaned on the window pane. Ever since her brother started dating Sakura, he was always with her. Tatiana had always been the only woman in Sasuke's life, aside from their mother, and the two were inseparable. Then, he met Sakura. They became attached, and Tatiana hardly had time with her older brother. She longed for the bond they shared before Sakura came into the picture. She always promised Sasuke would be the only man she would ever trust and truly love, as well as Itachi, because of the actions of their father, she had a hard time trusting men. Tatiana liked Sakura a lot, and they got along well, but she missed spending quality time with her brother. The van took a sharp turn, and Tatiana was jolted to the right. The turn bounced Tatiana into Kiba, and Tatiana, attempting to keep her balance, grabbed his hand. She looked down at her hand, then up at Kiba, who was giving her a funny look.

"Heh, sorry, hard turn." Tatiana said, embarrassed.

"It's no problem, I actually haven't had a girl hold my hand in months, so it kind of a relief." Kiba joked. Tatiana laughed, and smiled at him. Kiba smiled back. "You can let go of my hand now, by the way." He said. Tatiana blushed and turned away, taking her hand with her. She turned back to the window, and gazed outside. The rain had stopped, except for a mist, and the sun was slowly peeking out of the clouds. Kiba looked back at Tatiana. Although only 17, Tatiana was a beautiful young woman. She was about 5'7, a good size for her age, and big honey eyes. She had lightly tanned skin, and black hair, with tints of brown and auburn in the sunlight, that went just above the middle of her back.

The van slowed to a rolling stop, and parked. Sakura announced they were at the new house. Sakura climbed out of her seat, and raced around the other side to meet Sasuke. She jumped on him and flung her arms around his neck. They shared a kiss, and laced their hands again. Tatiana and Kiba made their way out of the van, and she walked around to the back to let Naruto and Shikamaru out.

"Finally! Do you know what it's like to sit uncomfortably close to this guy?" Shikamaru asked, brushing himself off.

"Fortunately, no I don't, and I don't plan to either." Tatiana said. "Now both of you, help me and Kiba get the bags." The boys took the heavier bags from the trunk, and Tatiana took both hers and Sakura's suitcases from the roof of the van. Tatiana, Shikamaru, Naruto, and Kiba followed Sakura and Sasuke down the driveway to the house. They all stared in awe when they saw their new home. A huge brown mansion stood in front of them. It was a big difference than living in different hotels and apartments.

"Oh my god. It's beautiful!" Tatiana exclaimed.

"It's amazing," Kiba said after her.

"Stop staring and get in here you two!" Sasuke called from the doorway. The two of them ran with their bags toward the doorway. When they stepped into the house, they were stunned by the decor. They were currently in the grand entrance. In front of them was a very lovely formal living room, with furniture underneath covers. The entire floor was hardwood, and the walls were painted a deep maroon. Attached to the living room was a formal dining room. A cherry wood table stood in the middle, with six matching chairs standing on top of it. A blue and white kitchen opened up next to the dining room. It had an island and a breakfast bar. It was absolutely beautiful. Off the kitchen was a small hallway, with a large bathroom on one side. At the end of the hall was a huge living room. It had a large tan sectional couch, that hadn't been connected yet, and two blue recliners that were in the spare room. On the other end of the room, there was a giant big screen television. Off the living room was a back door. It let off onto the deck, which was connected to a huge above ground pool. Also on the first floor was a game room, and a spare room, about the size of the first living room.

Tatiana sat down on her suitcase, and leaned her head on the wall behind her.

"Tired?" Kiba asked, smiling at Tatiana. Tatiana nodded. Kiba held out his hand and helped her up. "Sorry, but you need to help the rest of us carry all of this crap upstairs." He said with a laugh.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Tatiana said, and leaned over to pick up her suitcase. As she bent over, two small black straps from Tatiana's underwear were visible from the sides of Tatiana's jeans. Kiba leaned his head over, getting a better look at them. He smiled to himself, and rolled his suitcase to the stairway. Tatiana followed, followed by Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. They all made their way up the two stairways that led to the upstairs bedrooms. When everyone made it up the stairs, they all stopped in the large hallway and looked around.

"So whose room is whose?" Kiba asked, looking around.

"Well that's pretty much your decision. I'll show you all the rooms, then you guys can pick." Sasuke said, making his way down the right end of the hallway. Everyone left their suitcases on the hall, and followed. Sasuke led them to the last room in the hall. He opened the door to reveal a large room. It had a white carpet and pale blue walls. On one end was a small fireplace, with two tan chairs in front of it. It had a small window seat on the huge bay window on the left wall. On the other end of the room was a large full-sized bed. There were cream colored posts on all four sides. Off the bedroom was a large bathroom. It was brown and cream. It had beautiful tile, and a large walk-in shower and a jet bath.

"Oh hell yeah, this is mine!" Tatiana exclaimed, falling back on the bed.

"Okay, Tatiana, this is your room." Sasuke said, and walked out with everyone else. The next room was next to Tatiana's. It was the largest room, with cream colored carpeting. It had a beautiful fireplace opposite the bed. It had two bathrooms, both white and maroon with jet baths and walk-in showers. It had a large king sized bed in the middle. There was a huge window behind the bed, that overlooked the entire front yard.

"I'm guessing this is our room?" Sakura asked, holding Sasuke's hand. Sasuke looked at Sakura with a smile.

"Well yeah. It's the only place I figured I could actually have some time in a bathroom." Sasuke joked. Sakura playfully hit him in the arm, and set her suitcase in the bedroom. Sasuke led the remaining housemates down the hallway. The next room was smaller than the others. It had white walls, and a navy blue carpet. There was a large bed in one corner. It also had a large window, on the opposite side of the room. This room also had it's own bathroom, and a small fireplace on one side.

"I'll take this one, it's pretty good sized for me." Shikamaru said, and wheeled his suitcase in. Now only Naruto and Kiba remained without rooms. Naruto took the next room, the smallest, that had the same features as Shikamaru's room, except it was mostly decorated in greens and browns. The last room belonged to Kiba. It was on the opposite end of the hallway, and was the second largest room. It had pale tan walls, and dark red carpet. There was a large king sized bed, and a huge bay window on one wall. Kiba stepped into his room and began unpacking, along with everyone else.

Tatiana unzipped one of her suitcases. It was filled to the top with clothes. Tatiana was currently sitting in her large walk-in closet in her bathroom, cross- legged on the floor. She carefully took out articles of clothing, one by one, and began to organize her closet. She repeated this task with all of her suitcases. Eventually, her closet was full, and she walked out into her new bedroom. She ran her hand across her bed as she walked by it, and looked around her room in awe. It was amazing.

Tatiana Uchiha had always grown up privileged, her family being very wealthy, but she had never had a home like this one. She and Sasuke grew up in a large estate with their parents, less expensive than the current home. The always had the luxury of being wealthy, but were limited to what they could call their own. Their parents were careful not to spoil them, and brought them up as middle- class children. After their father ran off with another woman, their mother was left to care for them. They still had the money, for it was their mother who made most of it. Unfortunately, she died when Tatiana was only 15. She left the fortune to Sasuke and Tatiana, as well as Itachi, who went off on his own, and when Tatiana graduated high school, they moved into the current home. Tatiana examined every corner of her room, satisfied by it all. She walked over to her large window, and placed her hand on the pane. Her window overlooked the large backyard. The sun shone on the pool below, creating sparkled ripples in the water. She suddenly heard a voice behind her.

"Tatiana?" Tatiana jumped at the voice. She turned around to see Kiba standing in the middle of her room. Kiba was Sasuke's best friend. They had known each other since elementary school. He was four years older than Tatiana, at the just legal age of 21. He was an attractive young man, with brown hair, with wispy bangs that fell in his eyes. He wasn't exactly the tallest man, but he was good-looking all the same. Tatiana smiled, still standing at the window. Kiba walked over to her and looked outside. He looked over at Tatiana, who was gazing dreamily out the window. "It's incredible, isn't it? I wasn't expecting this place to be so damn huge!" Kiba exclaimed, placing his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah. I mean, I grew up in a place like this, a little smaller, but it was never really my own, ya know?" Tatiana asked, turning to Kiba. Kiba nodded.

"Yeah. I never thought I'd end up living in a place like this." Kiba said. "I always thought that after college I'd end up broke living in a run-down apartment." He said with a laugh. Tatiana laughed.

"Well then you're pretty lucky you're here then, aren't you?" Tatiana said, and placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked down at her and smiled.

"Yeah, I definitely am." Kiba replied softly. She smiled back, and looked into his eyes. They were stunning, and she couldn't look away. Suddenly, her trance was interrupted by a familiar voice saying her name. She turned away, to see Sakura standing in her doorway. Sakura raised an eyebrow when she saw Kiba standing a mere foot away from Tatiana.

"What's going on in here?" Sakura asked. Tatiana snatched her hand off Kiba's shoulder. She blushed a light pink, and let out a nervous laugh.

"Nothing, we were just looking outside. It's really nice out there." Tatiana said. Sakura nodded slowly.

"Okay, well anyway, we're all going downstairs to clean the house, and you two need to help out." Sakura said, and walked out of the room. Kiba playfully and gently hit Tatiana on her back, and smiled.

"Well let's go then," He said, and pushed her forward. She playfully hit him back, and walked. They walked out of Tatiana's room and down the long hallway. Kiba walked behind Tatiana, his hands in his pockets. He watched her as she walked, admiring the way her hips swayed gently as she walked. They made their way downstairs, and into the living room, where everyone waited. When Tatiana and Kiba got into the living room, Sasuke announced what needed to be done.

"Alright, well let's get started." Sasuke said, and stood up from the couch.

"Why are we cleaning? The house looks fine!" Tatiana exclaimed, folding her arms.

"I know it's only the first day, but the furniture needs to get arranged, and it's incredibly dusty in here. So that's why we need to clean." Sasuke replied. Tatiana rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. There was a lot to do to get the entire house arranged and cleaned. It was a very large house, but with all of them working together, it wouldn't be too long. Sasuke explained what needed to be done, and everyone got to work.

Tatiana made her way to the kitchen, and began wiping off the counters with a rag. Sakura started in the dining room, shining the table and chairs. Shikamaru began to vacuum the stairway, which would take quite some time, for it was a very large staircase. Naruto, Sasuke, and Kiba began working on moving the furniture in the living room.

"So Tatiana, what do you think of the house?" Sakura asked, sitting on her knees next to the table.

"It's amazing. I didn't imagine it to be so beautiful!" Tatiana replied. She stood up, brushing off her knees, and took a moment to watch the boys move furniture. Naruto was huffing and puffing, trying to move a leather arm chair to the other side of the room. He dropped one side, landing on his foot, and let out a loud screech.

"SON OF A BITCH!" Naruto yelled, hopping on one foot, holding the one the chair had fallen on. Shikamaru and Kiba were moving the large couch, when Kiba dropped his side, to point and laugh at the hurt Naruto. Shikamaru groaned, holding up one side by himself.

"Kiba, you dumbass, you're making things worse!" Tatiana exclaimed jokingly, laughing as she walked into the kitchen.

"Shut it, Tatiana, I'm just having fun." He joked back. The boys continued to move the furniture. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Sasuke finished pushing a chair to his liking, and walked to the front door. He opened it, to see his older look-alike brother, Itachi, standing with a small box in his hands.

"Sup little bro?" Itachi said, messing up Sasuke's hair. Tatiana heard her brother's voice, and immediately perked up. She poked her head around the corner, to see her older brother in the doorway. A big smile spread across her face, and she ran to the door.

"Itachi!" Tatiana exclaimed, throwing her arms around him. "I've missed you!"

"Hey, I missed you too." He said when she let go.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, leading him inside. Sasuke closed the door, and went back to moving the furniture.

"I came to help you guys move in, and by the looks of it," Itachi began, looking around the living room. Naruto was sitting on the floor, rubbing his foot, and Shikamaru was attempting to find a way to hold up the couch by himself, while Kiba stood beside the couch, stretching, and acting like he had done a ton of work. "I came just in time." He finished, walking over to the couch that Kiba was supposed to be helping with. Kiba shrugged it off, and walked to the kitchen, and over to the fridge to get a drink.

"Oh please, you act like you're exhausted." Tatiana said, taking glasses out of a cardboard box, and putting them up in the cabinets. Kiba leaned on the counter next to her.

"Hey, you try lifting the couch." He stated, sipping his drink. "It's not as easy as it looks." He added. Tatiana rolled her eyes, and stretched up to place glasses on the next shelf up. She grunted, and stood on her tip-toes, trying to reach the cabinet. She strained to reach it, then gave up.

"Sakura, can you bring me over a chair to stand on?" Tatiana asked, turning to the pink-haired woman on the floor. Her head popped up.

"What?" She asked, gripping the counter for support as she stood up.

"Don't bother, I'll got it." Kiba said, and squatted behind Tatiana. Tatiana suddenly felt Kiba's arms around her waist, and she felt herself be lifted.

"What the hell, Kiba. You could've warned me!" Tatiana exclaimed, placing the glasses up on the shelf. He brought her down, his arms still around her waist.

"You need to work out or something, you're light as a feather." Kiba said, patting her tummy. Tatiana playfully kicked him, and the two began to laugh. Itachi looked over at the two in the kitchen. He smiled and looked back at Sasuke.

"Hey, dude, are they dating?" Itachi asked, poking his brother in the shoulder. Sasuke turned to Itachi.

"Who?" He asked. Itachi pointed to Kiba and Tatiana in the kitchen.

"Those two, they seem pretty close." Itachi stated. Sasuke let out a laugh.

"Are you kidding? Hell no, they're always like that. They're like siblings almost. It's kind of annoying, the way they tease each other and argue." Sasuke answered, going back to arranging the furniture. Kiba began to walk back into the living room when Tatiana called him back.

"Wait, I still need you. I have another box to put up." She said. He rolled his eyes, and whined as he walked back into the kitchen. "Oh you big baby, I think you can handle it." She said. He walked over, and picked her up again, while she placed glasses up on the shelf.

"This re-arranging is such a drag." Shikamaru stated, pushing a side-table over beside the couch. He placed a lamp atop the table, and clicked it on.

"Hey Itachi," Naruto called. Itachi looked over.

"Yeah?" Itachi replied.

"What's in the box?" He asked.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Tatiana come here," Itachi called to his little sister. Kiba put her down and she walked over. Itachi handed her the box, and told her to open it. Inside, was a beautiful music box, made of cherry wood, and had a rose carved onto the lid. Tatiana looked up at her brother.

"How did you find this?" She asked softly.

"I took it out of mom's room when dad came and took everything after she died. I wanted to give it to you when you moved in here." Itachi replied. Tatiana latched around her brother.

"Oh my God, thank you so much, Itachi. I thought this was lost!" She exclaimed, looking down at the music box.

"Guys, come on. The party's at 6:30, we have to finish this." Sasuke stated. Tatiana rolled her eyes, and went back to the kitchen.
