Life After Marriage
By: Silverwolf
Naruto and Kailani sit watching television. There were boxes sitting everywhere in the room. A sienna cat lounges on top of one of the stacks. The pair of skunks the Uzumaki brothers own lie along a bed in the corner. They'd been moved first. Kurotsuchi wanted the pair of skunks to become used to what would be their new home along with their new housemate, the sienna cat, Kaname. Kailani snickers as Naruto changes the channel. Kurotsuchi watches the pair a bit.
Deidara steps into the room with a smirk. The raven female turns to him, "your brother and his friend aren't much interested in unpacking." Deidara shrugs, "I'm not really interested in unpacking everything right now either, yeah I'm still interested on..." Kurotsuchi laughs and then whispers, "what happens in our bedroom isn't their business." Deidara laughs.
Kurotsuchi glances towards the pair. Naruto laughs and Kailani sits curled against the younger blonde. The pair stare at the screen as the person on it goes on and on over the 'Uchiha wedding'. The next whole ramble is on Kurotsuchi's wedding. Naruto laughs, "hey bro, you're on tv." Deidara shrugs and wrinkles his nose. "Don't worry about the media Dei, they're all stupid anyway." Kurotsuchi kisses the blonde, "I love you, that's all that matters to me, not the crap spouted by them." Deidara grins, "I love you, yeah." Kurotsuchi grins.

The Uchiha estate gained five more canines after the wedding. It seemed Fugaku wasn't completely happy with the idea. But Tsume was indeed a force he wasn't prepared to cross yet. Also from what he heard Tsume's first husband had actually feared her. Tsume's son proved to be on the 'wild side'. Hana, Tsume's daughter proved to be a beautiful young woman.
Fugaku hadn't expected for Tsume to tae to Itachi and Sasuke as if they were her own. She had gone as far as to take control of an argument between Itachi and Fugaku. Placing an end to it immediately when Fugaku closed his hand. She had kept her word towards Fugaku about placing his hands on his children. The older Uchiha had punches Itachi and Tsume had responded by hitting her husband, splitting his lip.
"How does it feel?" Fugaku looks at Tsume, "what the hell was that for?" Tsume looks at Fugaku, "sorry to say to didn't marry a woman that was scared of you. Also I meant it. DON'T place your hands upon your children. I can't say I did treat you like Kiba because I've never struck my son. I've never had to. And looking at your sons you don't have to either."
Fugaku glares at Tsume. The female laughs. "Itachi, I would rather you not see us argue. I know you're grown, but I still feel it shouldn't be something that occurs in front of you." The raven male nods and simply steps out of the room. Kioshi follows. Tsume smirks as Itachi leaves. "Now to settle this once and for all." She turns her attention to Fugaku. "Your children aren't your punching bag. And I will not have you beat on them while I'm living in this house. If you have a problem if that then you might as well have the marriage annulment prepared now."
Fugaku looks at his new wife a bit stunned. "Are you ready to actually prepared for something like that? It would haunt you until your end." Tsume shakes her head, "It actually wouldn't. Mostly because if you intend to create a disturbance in my life after an annulment I intend to show everyone your true nature. I'll make sure that everyone on the force knows you beat your sons. Because I have the video where you hit them both even before our wedding. So tell me, whose life will be disturbed?"
Unable to continue the argument with Tsume Fugaku steps out of the room frustrated. He goes to speak to Sasuke as the teen passes through the door. He decides against it when Tsume addresses the teen. Sasuke responds to her question somewhat respectfully. Tsume gives him half a smirk. The teen then looks at the door as Hana steps into it. The greeting between mother and daughter is broken as Kioshi barks. Sasuke rushes from the room swifter than the rest.
The raven teen is the first to reach Itachi. Sasuke shoves a chair away from Itachi. The teen tries not to 'wuss out' as he watches the seizure. As it passes Sasuke watches Kioshi stand near. Sasuke knows despite not losing consciousness this time Itachi is highly confused. It is Sasuke that begins speaking as if trying to assure his brother, and maybe himself that everything is okay now. After some time Sasuke watches as Itachi reaches for Kioshi's halter. The Akita 'plants' his feet preparing to help his 'master' rise back to his feet. Sasuke wraps his hand around his brother's wrist. The younger Uchiha also helps Itachi to his feet, sliding a chair over toward Itachi.
A/N: Sorry this chapter took so long. It's had several rewrites. I guess it's okay now. Even though I still think I could've done better. Anyway reviews are welcomed.
