Hey, People would it kill anyone to review me? Am I really that bad? I don't care I am still going to freaking write!

By the way, I don't own Naruto. That is a sad realization that I had to come too.

Chapter Three: Back in Konoha

"Damn it, where is Sasuke? His ass was supposed to be here twenty minutes ago!" Sakura pouted. "Lee, could you try calling him again." Lee's eyes lit up as he nodded at the pink haired girl. Just then, there were four rapid knocks on the door.

Sakura was still pouting when Sai answered the door. "You have to know how pissed Sakura is, right?" Sasuke frowned with his hands full of presents. "Sakura, I am here." She narrowed her eyes into daggers.

"I am not talking to you and Sai, you better not let him in!" Sasuke sighed as he placed his forehead against the door; he really was not in the mood to entertain such stupidity. But, Sakura was the only best friend he had left now that He was gone…

"Sakura, you won't get your pretty presents if you do not let me in?" She smirked, a devilish grin and nodded for Sai to let him in. Just when everyone was about to ask Sasuke what took him so long, a petite blonde-haired person appeared at his side.

She was stunning, with gray eyes, and pouty lips. Sakura thought, 'This bitch is probably the dumbest bimbo, yet?' Because, Sasuke never brought anyone around with a brain or that would last long among his intellectual friends.

The blond girl smiled and wave, "Hiya, I am Persephone. It is nice to meet y'all. I am kind of glad I will be spending the holiday with new folks!" She was a country girl…Great! The boys just grinned like fools.

When Gaara finally shook her hand, he spoke for the first time that night. "Persephone, it must be a change to be in the cold?" The girl looked dumbfounded as the others laughed and Sasuke just frowned. He could see that they were already starting to test her intelligence and he knew she was going to fail, horrible.

He was placing the presents under the tree while the girl shrugged off her coat. "I am sorry, but I don't get it?" His friends just chuckled softly. "Persephone, Gaara is referring to you name." She smiled. "Oh' gosh, it is a family name. Honestly, I always thought it was to gosh darn long!" She giggled.

Sasuke thought, 'Wow, she really is that stupid.' Sasuke shook his head; he figured he would have to go really slow this time. "You know about Greek mythology?" She furrowed her brow and He sighed. "Baby, like about the gods and goddesses." She nodded happily. "Well, Persephone was the goddess of the underworld."

Shikamaru spoke under his breathe so only his friends could hear. "Wow, can she even tie her own shoes?" Sasuke just glared at his friends as they laughed and poor Persephone just looked lost again. After he got Persephone a glass a wine, he and Choji went out to get the bags.

It was a tradition for everyone to stay under the same roof from Christmas Eve and a couple of days after Christmas. "So Sasuke, where did you find this one?" Sasuke sighed. "I was in charge of a photo shot in Italy and she was the one of the models." Sasuke paused.

"She appealed to me because; I am smart and she stays silent because she is not." That figured Sasuke was not one for conversation except if he was among the people he loved and called friend. "I sure wish you hadn't brought such a dumb girl, because you know we are going to tear her apart." Choji paused. "But, she sure is freakin' hot though…it is a shame that we are going to torture her for the next four days." Sasuke frowned but inside he smirked.

The boys hurried back inside the house with the bags and headed up to the second floor. Sasuke's room was the first one off the landing. He and Choji dropped the bags inside as Choji spoke again. "Did you talk to your parents and let them know you were in town?" Sasuke nodded. "I did but, they are in Aspen with Itachi. After that they are headed to our family's private island." Choji whispered, "Itachi."

Sasuke heart sank as someone else spoke that name. He missed Him and his heart ached at the thought of Him. The two men headed down stairs where everyone was being entertained by Persephone's stupidity. Sasuke sighed as he sat next to his date, who was explaining that hog-tying was a kind of art. His friend just chuckled at her.

Sasuke was tired of them picking on her so he changed the subject. "When is dinner?" Choji and the girls got up walking into the kitchen. Sakura looked back and smile. "Give us about twenty minutes. Neji, could you set the table?" Neji nodded and proceeded in after them.

Which left him with Shika, Lee, Shino, Kiba, Gaara, and Sai? These odds he could handle. "Gaara did you and Sai get approved for that house off of Konoha Pkwy?" Gaara nodded but before he could speak, Sai did. "Sasuke, you have to see it. It is a three bedroom and we just finished our interviewing to become foster parents. The case worker said she doesn't see a problem with placing children in our home." Sasuke had forgotten that they were trying to become foster parents.

"The Sands as parents, you guys are going to do well. That means our Christmases from now on will have plenty of children, since Temari is having twins." Lee smiled. "Don't forget, Ino and Choji are expecting too." This was a good time to ask Kiba thought. "Shino, when are you and Hinata going to have a baby?" Shino's head shoot up from the book in front of him and his friends couldn't help but laugh at him.

Shino frowned. "As soon as you and Neji stop pretending like you are just fuck buddies and nothing more." Kiba frowned as he whispered. "Neji has a girlfriend." Sasuke smirked. "Where is Tenten anyway?" Shino rolled his eyes as Lee cleared his throat. "We all know that Neji would never disrespect Kiba like that and besides she dislikes all of us anyway."

Tenten was a complete bitch and she did hate all of them. "Hn. Neji and you need to just be together already and besides Tenten is evil, drop her already." Sakura yelled from the kitchen. "Please, for all of our sakes!" Ino added her two cents. "I fucking hate that bitch!"

Neji rolled his eyes. "That is between Kiba and me. To tell the truth I don't know why you think he is right for me, when he is always fucking some random chick." Kiba rolled his eyes.

"I wouldn't fuck random girls…just forget it, whatever Neji!" Neji stepped into the room again and Kiba whispered. "Can we talk about this later?"

Neji narrowed his eyes as he disappeared back into the dining room. His friends in the living room with him, laughed. Shino slid further into the chair. "Shouldn't have pissed me off and I wouldn't have gotten you in trouble." Kiba just stuck his tongue out.

Persephone sat there deciding that the gorgeous brown-haired person setting the table was a man and so was the black-haired hottie next to the angry looking red-head. But, she just wanted to check. She put her lips close to Sasuke's ear trying to whisper, trying being the keyword here.

"Umm, is that really pretty one setting the table a guy and the one sitting next to the angry redhead is one too?" Everyone chuckled softly as she scratched her head. "I am sorry. I ain't ever been good at whisperin'." Sasuke sighed. "Sai is male yes and so is Neji. They are both endowed with male parts." She blushed.

"Gosh, you guys are as beautiful as any women I have ever model with and you are so gracefully to." She placed her hand under her chin as she gawked at Sai a little longer before Sai started to blush under her stare. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to stare." Sai smiled.

"It is fine, but I have never been mistaken for a girl before." Neji sighed. "I have and it fucking drives me crazy." She took a sip of her red wine. "I mean you don't act like other gay or bisexual people I know." Temari waddled out of the kitchen. "How do the ones you know act?" She shrugged and Sasuke wished she would just close her mouth.

"They try to soften their voices, act really feminine, are really flamboyant, and loud." Everyone had moved into the living room and was starting to get pissed off, because she was an idiot. Temari narrowed her eyes.

"Neither my brother nor any of the other people I love, live in such a ridiculous manner. They are men and some of the strongest men I know. You are a twit and you need to watch you tongue because I will ripe it out."

Sasuke stood as Persephone look absolutely shocked. He went over to Temari and kissed her wrist urging her back into the kitchen. Sasuke was the only one that could calm her down, her own husband couldn't even do it.

Everyone was chuckling when Shika spoke. "Sorry, Persephone my wife is pregnant and a little emotional, but we understand what you were saying." He sighed as Sakura spoke. "I think what she meant to say is that you need to be open-minded while you are here with us." The petite blonde just nodded.

Sasuke and Temari were in the kitchen, when she squealed into his shirt. Sasuke just wrapped his arms around her. "That girl is infuriating; I don't like her for you Sasu. She is really dumb and really dumb." He nodded as he caressed her back.

She began to hum with delight as he rubbed her back. "You have been gone for to long this time, you left Shika to rub my back and he doesn't even do it right." She pouted. "Hn. I will not be leaving home anytime soon so I can do it from now on." She sighed. "That is good, because things suck when you are away."
