AN: Inspiration has struck and so here's the next chapter of Heartache. Read and Review please. I don't own Naruto.
"Now for our celebrity news," the blue eyed blonde reporter announced excitedly. "A little over a year ago, this young woman was involved in a controversial divorce after what has been dubbed as the "Wedding of the Year" only a year before."
"Sakura, turn that up," the rough voice almost made the supermodel jump. From out the bathroom came the man she was currently living with – Sasuke Uchiha.
"Why, I'm sure it's nothing."
"Shut up." The dark-haired man snatched the remote from her hands and turned the volume up.
"She has been spotted in downtown Tokyo sporting the latest creation from the famous designer Haku Momochi. The elegant diamond coloured dress accentuated Narumi Uzumaki's beautiful figure even after the pregnancy she had gone through with her new husband Gaara Sabaku."
"What the hell?"
"Also on our fashionable list for tonight, Mr. Sabaku wore an elegant tuxedo also from Ms. Momochi's line. The red undershirt the same shade as his hair and the light green tie emphasized his handsome stature. The pair was seen coming from the five star hotel and restaurant Raikiri, owned by Ms. Uzumaki's adoptive father Kakashi Hatake. With them was another couple Mr. and Mrs. Itachi Uchiha, one of the most prominent couples in our country up to date."
"Itachi~" Sasuke growled angrily.
"Calm down Sasuke."
"Don't tell me what to do," he snarled at the woman.
"In other parts of the world, it seems that the famous supermodel Sakura Haruno's latest fashion show had been a smashing hit," the pink haired woman sat up excitedly at the mention of her last event. "She looked stunning in the jade dress~"
"I don't give a damn," dark eyes glared at the television. "Tell me something more about Narumi."
"But Sasuke~"
"Stop whining Sakura, I already know what happened," he snapped at her. "I was there, remember?"
"Why the fuck, do you even care about her?" she shouted angrily at him. She stood from her seat on the couch and blocked his view of the television. "You left her for me more than a year ago and now that she's found someone else you're suddenly so interested in her again."
"I said shut up!" he threw the remote control, his girlfriend barely dodging the flying object. It hit the screen, smashing it. The pictures pixelated and the outlet sizzled before it finally died.
"What the hell's your problem?"
"I don't care about you!" he shouted at her. "Don't you understand? I don't give a damn what you do to yourself or your life. I don't care!"
"W-w-w-what?" she spluttered. "You told me you loved me. You promised that you wouldn't love anybody else!"
"That was before my father cut me off!"
"So that's it," she snorted. "You only married Narumi because she brought you back into your family and now that your father has given you a deadline, you want to go back to her. You're pathetic."
"Shut up!"
"Is that all you can say?" she leered at him. "You're a sad excuse of a man. You're so used to getting what you want that you can't live without your family name. After lollygagging in Europe during your teenage years, you came back to Japan because you had exploited your inheritance and you were kicked out. Now, it's bound to happen again. When are you going to man up?"
"You know nothing!" he reared his fist back, about to hit her.
"You think I don't know that you actually loved Narumi but you were too afraid to tell her so you slept around even when you were married?" the jade eyed woman relished the shock that he displayed. "You used to call out her name when we had sex, sometimes you still do." she said flippantly.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" she asked him.
"The hell I do~"
"Don't deny it. You're in love with her but you were too much of a coward to express it properly. You didn't want something to tie you down to someone so you broke off your marriage. At first, it was only about the money but then you fell in love with her."
"If you knew all this then why did you agree to be with me?" he asked in defeat.
"I used you as you used me. But I realized it's time to move on, it was fun while it lasted though," she smirked at the shocked expression on his face. "Goodbye Sasuke, good luck in your future endeavours." She kissed his cheek then walked out the door without turning back.

"I just saw it!"
"What did you see?"
"You on TV with Gaara, Itachi and Hinata," the voice was excited as they spoke. "I'm coming over."
"Kiba, it's not exactly a great time~"
"I don't care Narumi, you've been hiding from us for the past year and now I find out that you married our broody friend and had a child with him on TV no less. I'm coming over so get ready."
"Fine," she sighed exasperatedly as she looked at her sleeping son. "Do you even know where to go?"
"Of course I do," the man sounded proud as he replied. "I called Kakashi first."
"Why do I feel like this is a conspiracy against me?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know. Tell Gaara I'll be there soon."
"Okay, see you soon Kiba." she hung up just as the red haired child opened teary green eyes and got ready to wail. "Hello Kenji how was your sleep?" she plucked the sleep dazed baby from his crib and felt for wetness from his diaper.
"I'm home!"
"Let's go greet your father," Kenji blinked up at her, apparently forgetting the need to cry as she spoke gently to him.
"How was your day?" Gaara turned from taking his shoes off as he sat on the sofa. He watched closely as his wife approached him with their baby cradled gently in her arms.
"It was fine, though a bit stressful," he rose from his seat carrying his shoes, already wearing slippers. "I finally finished the negotiations with Neji about~" she cut him off with a chaste kiss.
"Kiba is on his way so I suggest you make yourself comfortable."
"What does he want?"
"He wants to know everything," she told him. "We were on tv the other night," she explained. "Apparently we were caught on camera when we went out last weekend."
"Oh," his eyebrows scrunched in confusion. "When was it reported?"
"The night before the last and last night as well," she said. "We were on Ino Yamanaka's most fashionable list. Go get changed, Kiba should be here soon."
"Alright," he kissed her forehead and then his son's before making his way towards the closet to stow his shoes away and then to their shared bedroom.
XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX
"Yes, I'm already home. I know you're on your way here, Narumi already told me. Who's with you?"
"I'm not bringing anyone although I did tell some other people."
"Who else is coming?"
"Shino is coming with his wife Fu, your brother and sister is coming as well."
"Thank you so much for inviting them over," his voice dripped with sarcasm as he walked down the stairs.
"I'm sorry Gaara," the person on the other line apologized. "I was so excited and I couldn't help myself so I told some people even though they probably saw you on TV as well."
"How long will you be?"
"Thirty more minutes," the gruff voice replied.
"I guess we'll just have to host an impromptu dinner party." The redhead sighed in defeat as he walked into the living room to find his wife nursing their son. He froze in mid step, the image burning itself into his memory feeling so much like a teenager once again. His body reacted to his thoughts, momentarily forgetting that he was on the phone with Kiba. "Stop thinking with your gonads Gaara," He thought silently to himself as he shook his head but still the scene kept replaying in his mind. "Damn it!" he muttered, the phone forgotten in his hand until Kiba finally spoke.
"Gaara, are you alright?"
"I'm fine Kiba." He told the other man. "I have to go." He hung up the phone unceremoniously ignoring the protest from his long time friend. "You have no idea what you do to me, do you?" his voice had dropped, deep and velvety, the tone sending shivers up his wife's spine as she stared at him in shock. He walked, his strides long and graceful, looking so much like a hunter on the prowl. He dropped the phone as he continued his advance noting the flashes of different emotions in the blonde woman's crystal blue eyes. "We've been married for six months and we have yet to consummate our union. All this time, I've been living with you, ignoring my own needs but I don't think I can do that anymore." Narumi stared in shocked silence, unable to do anything as he sat down beside her and nipped at her earlobe.
"Gaara~"
"I need you Rumi," he told her. "Tonight,"
"Gaara," she moaned softly, her body reacting to the simple touch. "I need you too." She whispered, turning to face him so he could capture her lips in his. "I don't think I can wait any longer."
"We can't," he regrettably pulled away but captured both her and their son in a protective embrace. "Not right now," he continued as he stroked her hair. "Kiba and the others are on their way and I don't want us to be interrupted." She only sighed in response.
"We should call Hinata and Itachi over; they'll be able to help us run damage control."
XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX
"Rumi, you look much better than the last time I saw you!" the shaggy brunet gushed as soon as the blonde opened the door to greet her.
"You sound like a woman Inuzuka," a deep and silky voice berated the newcomer.
"No one asked your opinion Sabaku!" he snapped at the redhead who wrapped one arm around Narumi's waist and stuck the other out to shake his hand.
"Do you have anything to say?" Gaara asked the dark eyed man who had gripped his hand strongly.
"Yeah I do," slitted eyes glared right into darkened teal ones. "What the hell took you so long?" he laughed jovially at the shocked expression on the man's face, then turned his attention toward Narumi. "What's for dinner, Narumi?"
"Still brash I see," another voice commented from behind the couple. "Why don't the three of you come in and we can talk more comfortably in the living room."
"Itachi, how are you? If you're here then that means that Mrs. Hinata Uchiha is here as well," dark eyebrows rose but the Uchiha heir nodded.
"She's taking care of Kenji at the moment."
"I see," the couple moved away from the doorway to let him walk past. Narumi sighed, thankful for her 'big brother's' interference. "Is it true that you and Hinata are his godparents and he's named after you?"
"If you don't mind my asking," Itachi said as he directed the lively young man towards the living room and away from the couple. "Where did you get your information from?" Narumi and Gaara simply watched as the pair slowly walked away from them.
"Gaara," the needy voice, the tightened hold on his arm and the slight trembling made the redhead whip his head toward his wife.
"Rumi, we can't," he protested as she pushed him against the closed door to their home.
"But, I don't think I can hold on much longer," she whispered against his ear, licking his earlobe, earning a moan in response.
"We have guests coming." He managed to say without stuttering even as she licked and nipped her way down his neck. "S-stop," he put his hands on her shoulders but didn't push her away.
"Do you really want me to?" her voice was seductive even though she had to stand on tiptoes just to align their lips together. "Are you sure you don't want me to continue?" she continued, her lips a mere hairsbreadth away from his, so close that he could feel them moving as she spoke. "Do you really not want me?"
"If you don't stop," he was already out of breath, his heartbeat racing, his face flushed and slightly sweaty. "I don't think I'll be able to." Months of being around the hormonal female had taken its toll, he wouldn't be able to stop himself once they started, and that was for sure.
"I haven't even started yet," he could hear the pout in her voice as jade clashed with cerulean.
"Rumi, please wait for a few more hours," he begged even when his body screamed at his denial. His brain knew it was the sensible thing to do but his heart and body were teaming up against it. He wanted Narumi and he wanted her now! "But I can't because we have visitors coming."
"Just a few more hours?" she asked uncertainly.
"Just a few more hours," he agreed as he crossed the distance between their lips in a fiercely passionate kiss. "We just have to wait until everyone leaves and then we have all the time to ourselves." He sealed his promise with another kiss. She sighed, obviously dissatisfied but agreed with him.
"I'll go check on Kenji."
"Okay," he nudged her away, noting the pout she sported as she turned away from him. He slapped her butt playfully then winked at her. "Tonight Rumi," he whispered.
XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX
"Thank you so much for coming to help out," the two women embraced each other as they said their goodbyes.
"Don't worry about it Rumi," blue-black hair shone in the moonlight as she spoke. "Remember, if you need someone to babysit for you I wouldn't mind."
"Thank you Hinata."
"I'm afraid we must go," Itachi's deep silky voice interrupted their conversation. "It's gotten late and we both have things to do tomorrow."
"Thank you Itachi." The blonde woman turned her attention towards her 'big brother'.
"You're welcome." She kissed his cheek and then watched as he led his wife towards their car.
"Take care."
"You too," Hinata waved back before climbing in.
"Are they gone?" Narumi turned away from the disappearing vehicle to look at her approaching husband.
"They just left. Where's Kiba?"
"He's upstairs saying good night to Kenji."
"Gaara, Narumi, thank you so much for hosting a wonderful dinner party," the hushed voice of their friend floated to them as the brown haired man walked quietly down the staircase. "Even if we were technically uninvited," he continued.
"It was no problem Kiba," the blue eyed woman assured him.
"I think I've actually overstayed my welcome this time so I'll be on my way."
"Take care Kiba."
"You take care of yourselves and little Kenji," he waved at the couple as he walked backwards to his car. "Let's do this again some time." He said and the pair nodded before finally closing the door.
XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX
"Everyone's gone Rumi," the deep husky voice of her husband startled her out of her thoughts. "I think it's finally time I make good on my promise."
"I agree." She kissed him, quickly pulling back earning her a disapproving groan. "I'm going to take a shower." Cerulean clashed with jade and an unspoken agreement was made.
"Take your time." He whispered against her lips before nudging her to climb up the stairs.
XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX
Kiba stretched his arms as he walked closer to his car. He thought of the last conversation with the newly married couple and realized that there had been so much tension during the whole dinner party. He froze in his tracks as he remembered the lingering touches and smouldering looks shared between his two friends.
"Gaara lasted nine months?" his shaggy hair flew in all directions as he shook his head. "The first three months, Narumi was hormonal because of the pregnancy and the last six months she was still hormonal because she was nursing Kenji. I truly admire that man; I don't think I would've lasted as long as he did with all those pheromones she must've secreted." Chuckling to himself, he reached into his pocket for his keys but then froze as he heard a twig snap. As a military dog trainer, his senses had been heightened so much it was nearly similar to that of the animals he trained. Now that he thought about it, there had been this prickly feeling at the back of his neck the whole evening but he hadn't acted on it as he did not want to worry everyone else. Shrugging to himself, he opened his car door and slid in still listening for any sign of movement. Another snap, another step and he bolted out his car towards the brush closest to the house's window. "Whoever the hell you are, I am so hoping you're not here to do what I think you are about to." He tackled the other person, their bodies colliding painfully before falling onto the ground. The intruder let out a pained grunt as the soldier fell on top of him.
"Uchiha?"
AN:
So I have a question, do you guys want a lemon between Gaara and Narumi?
Other than that nothing else but please review and tell me what you think ne?
Lots of love,
Allie
