Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
a/n: sorry for the late update. Too much h/w.
btw. Those who have heard "don't trust me" by 3Oh!3, don't you just love it? AND "you found me" by the fray. I love that too…been listening to them all week.
Anyway… enough rambling. This will be the final chapter to this fic.
R&R!!
When Sasuke arrived home he did so through the window of their bedroom, and immediately hopped into the shower, to fully awaken him. Once finished with his morning routine, he entered the kitchen to see his favorite pink haired woman eating breakfast.
Feeling better than in days, he graced her with a good morning kiss. Surprised, yet happy, Sakura smiled at him.
"Where were you all night? You're uniform was on the floor, so I assumed you finished your mission."
"No where special. Just at Naruto's"
"Ok" she said with a smile, satisfied with the answer, she gathered up some of her things, ready for work.
"I'll see you later, gotta head off to work" she kissed him goodbye and headed off to the hospital.
Sasuke grabbed an apple and headed towards the hokage tower, to report their success of a mission and then train with Naruto.
* * * *
As the week wore on, so did Sasuke's good mood as he returned to sleepless nights. Naruto noticed this and decided to help solve the problem.
"Why don't you get her to wear chakra controlling bands. That way her 'attacks' won't be so harmful since the bands would absorb it."
"That won't work, dobe. Her 'attacks' don't have a trace of chakra in them, or else I could have deflected and dodged them in my sleep easily. Its simply raw strength."
"Oh, I pity you"
Sasuke grunted and glared.
"Well, we have a mission tomorrow, so you better get some sleep." Said Naruto, as he waved good-bye to his companion and jogged several meters while calling the name of the girl in front of him. Sasuke watched Naruto make the Hyuuga heir blush. With a roll of his eyes he headed towards the hokage tower again, for more information on the mission.
That night Sasuke lay awake with a twitching eye and dislocated jaw. Once again, having enough, he left his warm bed and walked the streets to his team mates flat while healing his jaw.
"Again" groaned Naruto, when he saw Sasuke enter through his window.
Sasuke nodded.
"Fine. You know the rules"
Sasuke wordlessly hopped into the bed and fell asleep.
This routine continued for the next 2 months. Sasuke would occasionally leave in the middle of night, arrive at the blonde's apartment and wordlessly hop into the bed, then return in the morning. On the mornings that Sakura had yet to leave home, she would sometimes let it pass and dismiss it. After all, he was a ninja. But as these incidents kept on occurring she grew suspicious- sure she trusted him with her life and knew he was faithful, but there was only so much one could take-, she would ask him, and he would reply "out" or "nothing important" and at times "at Naruto's".
And rumors didn't help when old woman claimed to have seen the Uchiha leave an apartment in the morning, half naked.
Sasuke was oblivious to the rumors, but aware of the suspicion his wife held. So to subside said suspicion, he decided to repay her with 'nocturnal fun' and sacrificed his sleep for a fort-night, whilst she tossed and turned, peacefully.
But after that, and because of an important oncoming mission, Sasuke silently left his bed one night and once again made his way to his second home, Naruto's flat.
However, the next morning Sasuke wasn't quite aware where he was, he thought he was at home, since he could feel a warm arm draped over his chest. But as he opened his eyes- there was a light flash in his eyes, it only lasted a second, so he dismissed it for the sun shining in his eyes- he was greeted with a handful of blonde hair on his shoulder and drool on his chest. Sasuke's eye twitched as he felt irritation and disgust. He shook his violater off of him. Naruto rolled back, and opened his eyes to be greeted with raven hair. Smiling, he murmured "Hinata"
Sasuke, extremely irritated, yanked himself away from the delusional blonde and kicked him off of the bed, in order to awaken him.
There was a thud as the blonde hit the floor.
"OWW! What the hell was that for? Huh?Eh, teme?"
Naruto then blushed when he realized his mistake. He dismissed it with a laugh, forgetting all embarrassment. Naruto glanced at his clock then looked to Sasuke.
"Hate to break it to ya, but we slept in. you better get your ass home with a good excuse"
Sasuke swore, and then disappeared from the blonde's residence.
When he arrived home, through the window, he collided with his wife, his angry wife.
There was an intense silence.
"Why did you leave in the middle of the night?"
"Couldn't sleep"
"Then where did you go the whole night? And why are you dressed like that?" noting his lack of clothes
Before he could answer, an anbu appeared outside his window.
"Uchiha Sasuke, the Hokage requires your attendance. Report to her immediately." Said the anbu and then disappeared.
"We will talk about this later" said Sakura icily, before storming out of the room. She stopped and then turned to her husbands and said four words that made him want to groan. "I'll be at Ino's"
When she left the room, Sasuke growled and refrained him-self from breaking the wall. He didn't mind Ino on missions, but he couldn't stand her when she was with Sakura. The two of them were really close and confided in one another in everything. And whenever Sasuke angered or annoyed Sakura, Ino would come barging into his house and swearing at the top of her lungs, threatening to kill him.
After seeing the Hokage, Sasuke met up with Naruto and recounted the events.
Naruto tried to stifle his laughter, but failed. After receiving a blow to the head, he seized all laughter.
"Dude, if Sakura isn't gonna hurt you, then Ino will. That woman is so protective and loud. Its sucks to be a ninja with sensitive hearing when she is around. And to top it off, Shikamaru got her pregnant. She is an emotional wreck"
Sasuke grunted, trying to form a plan.
"Why don't you tell her the truth" suggested Naruto.
"I will. And you will be with me when I do. You will hold down Ino and vouch that my explanation is true."
"Hell no! I am not getting involved-"
"You already are"
"Listen up! I have done a lot for you already. ...bed!!" argued Naruto loudly.
The bustling street froze in silence as all turned to stare in their direction. Those who recognized the 2 shot them curious looks, while other shot them disgusted glances and hurried along away from them. But one thing was for sure, hushed whispers carried on throughout the street. No doubt, the truth was altered and rumours were conjured.
Sasuke turned to glare at the cause of his troubles and slapped the blonde across the head.
"Dobe! You are definitely coming, now. The sooner the better."
The two headed towards Sasuke's home. This time the front door was used. Inside, on the kitchen table were Ino and Sakura conversing in hushed voices. Ino seemed to be comforting a distressed Sakura.
"What's wrong with Sakura" asked Naruto.
Ino's head snapped up and she glared at both men.
Sakura looked up at Sasuke, then turned away.
"We need to talk" said Sasuke.
"That's right you, you cheating bastard"
"Shut up Ino. I am here to speak to my wife. Get out"
"Like hell I am, you unfaithful jerk!"
"What the hell are you on about you crazy bitch?" roared Sasuke, unable to conceal his anger or remain stoic. He felt deeply offended to think that such accusations were made. In his own home. Infront of his wife. Who did nothing to defend him. Nada.
"This!" roared Ino as she flung a photo at him. Sasuke grabbed the photo and felt his eye twitch. Naruto peered over his shoulder then turned several shades of red. So it was indeed a flash, a camera flash that he felt that morning.
It was a photo taken of him and Naruto, in bed, with Naruto's face concealed.
Naruto began to laugh real hard and loud, but stopped abruptly when he was heavily glared at.
"You think this is funny?" roared Ino. She grabbed Naruto by the collar and yanked him outside. Naruto's yelps could be heard as he tried to dodge Ino's fists in the hallway of their apartment.
"Sasuke, are you cheating on me?" Sakura asked slowly and sadly. It hurt to just ask.
Outside, the two blondes stopped fighting and were now listening behind the door.
"What?" asked Sasuke incredulous.
"Are you or are you not cheating on me with this blonde woman?"
"No!"
Sakura sighed with relief, her shoulders sagging.
"So this image is just a fake"
"No…it's real"
Sakura gasped, she felt betrayal.
"But it's not what you think"
"Then what is it? Is that not a female in bed with you?"
"No it isn't…It was a male-"
He was interrupted from further explanation as Sakura gasped and Ino burst in through the door dragging Naruto and yelling "Oh! My! God!!" over and over again.
Sakura collapsed into her chair, shocked and speechless. She looked up at Sasuke, hurt and uttered to words, as if he had betrayed her.
"You're gay"
"You dirty bastard. You're cheating on her with a man!" roared Ino.
"Will you shut up and let him speak you noisy baka!" roared Naruto, silencing everyone. Then he continued. "Let's get this over and done with. Sakura, when that photo was taken," Naruto paused, all gazes locked on him. Sasuke was shaking his head, glaring. He did not want the confrontation done in front of the noisy blonde part time florist. Naruto shrugged, it could not be helped. She would have to know, to settle the rumors.
"Sasuke was in my bed. That is me in the photo, and I can assure you-"
"WHAT?!" shrieked the 2 girls, horrified.
"WE ARE NOT GAY!" roared Sasuke finishing off Naruto's sentence
"A picture speaks a thousand words, Sasuke. And this speaks Homosexual Acts" Stated Ino simply, recovering quickly.
Sasuke threw Ino a dirty look and threatened her to speak/ offend him one more time. He then glanced to his wife to see her rocking her head in her hands, trying to get rid of this headache and make sense of what was happening. Her 2 best friends could not be gay. No! Sasuke would never do that to her. Marry her but not lover her.
"Naruto, get Ino outta here. I need to speak with Sakura alone. Take her home and explain it to her."
Naruto nodded, still flustered from the accusations, led the angry blonde kunoichi out of the apartment.
Sasuke approached his wife, and took her hands in his, hoping to calm her down.
"You're not gay?"
"No…not now not ever"
"Then why-"
"Let me explain…from the beginning"
That evening Sasuke spent a good hour explaining his actions and incidents which took great effort, and thankfully, although it did hurt his pride, by the end of it, Sakura was rolling in his arms, roaring with laughter.
A few streets away, Naruto had a hard time dragging the pregnant blonde back to her husband, as she could no longer walk as she howled with laughter into the night, unable to stand.
* * * * *
That night Sasuke carried his wife to their bed and placed her on the mattress, then lay beside her.
"So, what are we going to do about this…problem"
"Well…I've been thinking…I can hold you down," Sasuke leaned against her back, then locked her legs with his, removing all threat, and had her wrap her arms around him and his around her. "Like this"
"I can live with this" said Sakura with a smile. "Oh and I'm sorry for causing you misery".
Sasuke hushed her with kisses then murmured, "It was worth it"
The two, for the first time during their marriage, slept a peaceful night. For every time Sakura moved, Sasuke moved in synchronize with her. And the best thing of all, no more kicking occurred.
A few streets down, Naruto lay in his bed, feeling slightly cold without the extra body heat. Yet, he welcomed the cold, and was relieved that he no longer had to share his bed with a male. His thoughts wondered to another raven-haired, but it was a Hyuuga Kunoichi. A smile graced his lips as he drifted off to sleep thinking, I can now finally invite Hinata over back to my place.
Even further away, a tall blonde, pregnant kunoichi got into bed, and then turned over to face her husband. She stared at him intently.
"What?" asked Shikamaru.
"Do I annoy you in your sleep?"
"No"
"And if I did, and there was nothing you could do to stop it…"
"I would sleep on the couch" finished Shikamaru
"And if there was no couch?"
"I would sleep at Chouji's" he answered.
Ino rolled her eyes thinking that something was wrong with the men of konoha.
"Now go to sleep you troublesome woman" said Shikamaru.
Ino glared.
Shikamaru smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodnight baby"
FIN
Let me know if you found that as funny as I did when I first write it. I'm not sure if it is entirely funny; because I've looked over it to much I sort of drained the crap out of it. Anyway, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!
I will have another fic, its half written. It will be another short one. Another Naruto. Sasuke friendship fic, BUT with a tragedy, and a short one. But I'm not sure when that will come out since I can never make a proper dent in my h/w, and it's piling up.
TC for now & good-bye till next time.
