Father of the Bride

Disclaimer: I don't own it at all 'cept the plot.

Sasuke: After reading this chapter I question why I am marrying into this family, they'd be better off without me.

Sera: What?

Itachi: -with lollypop in mouth- don't mind him he's EMO today.

Sasuke: -dark cloud rains upon him- How could this happen to Meeeee!!!!! –sings-

Sera: -sweat drop- uh…

Itachi: Told ya. This happens all the time.

Sasuke: Crawling in my skinnnn!!!! –singing badly-

Itachi:…I regret killing the clan and leaving him alive alone

Sera: Because he's EMO now?

Itachi: Hell no! I regret not killing only him and leaving them alive.

Sera:…idiot.

December, holiday time was around the corner now and the Uchiha brat had been living with us for a while now.

It was right around this time that Hinata had decided that, despite my apprehensive attitude towards this marriage, that she and a few of her friends have a party in my house. Usually I was never against this but then I remembered who her friends were.

The Uzumaki boy with the ADD, ADHD and any other hyperactive disorder known to man was one that I could barely tolerate and of course he wouldn't be out done by any of the other guests in the "kill Hiashi before his time" group.

Oh no not out done at all.

"Aren't you happy father that Rock Lee decided to take off from his busy schedule involving the wedding to come to this party. OH! And how wonderful for Kiba and Kankuro to come from University just to attend."

My eye twitched.

"Why yes daughter…how lovely…"

She smiled at me.

"Yeah. I'm so happy you forgave them for almost burning down the house and for accidentally singeing off your eyebrows."

Yes…the Inuzuka boy and Puppet brat were coming from the states just to see Hinata…but why did it feel like they were coming to finish the job of killing me or at the very least to give me a stroke?

"Yes…forgiven…"

I don't even want to remember the eyebrow incident and the grate fire of two summers ago.

Damn brats.

I smiled at my daughter and excused myself to the balcony and stared out at the arriving guests. I rested my head on my hand and thought very hard to myself.

Sasuke Uchiha cannot be as bad as I make him out to be right? He was strong, handsome and seemed to love Hinata.

"Yes yes…not bad at all actually. Perhaps he will make a great husband."

The peace was short lived as I remembered how I had been when I was courting Hinata's mother.

My smile turned into a dark scowl.

"Damned PERVERT."

We were too alike for my liking and if he is anything like I was while I was courting my late wife then what a pervert he must be!

Don't get me wrong, I am a respectable man but when I was a young man, around a beautiful kind woman like my wife I was shameless…why I remember the time when Mariko and I had decided to have a late walk around the lake near the Hyuuga estate and the water was so nice that I suggested we swim…in the nude…

My eyes spasm and my head aches with broiling anger.

"He'd BETTER not be like me!"

I make my way to the room where my daughters and nephew stare at me confoundedly for my sudden outburst.

"Uncle is everything alright?"

I hadn't listened as a plan formulated quickly in my mind and I laughed.

"Father?"

Perhaps they left because of the maniacal smile on my face or for the evil laughter that would rival Orochimaru, the neighbor, who knows.

They did however leave with worried expressions and I could have sworn that the word insane left my nephews lips…

I shrug and take out my cell.

"Now to invite the guest of honor for my plan…" My smile widens.

(Neji POV)

That was strange.

I look back at my uncles closed bedroom door and think for a moment to perhaps enter but when I hear him laugh like a damn mental case I think better.

If he's insane then his daughters should deal with it.

I roll my eyes and stare at Hinata and Hanabi.

"What do you think is wrong with father?" Hinata asks a bit worried but Hanabi is giggling a bit.

"I know why…" She says and places her ear on the door.

"What?"

She smiles and looks in my direction for a moment before walking to her sister and kissing her check.

"Hinata, sister, perhaps you should tend to your growing guests until brother Sasuke arrives, no?"

Hinata nods and departs, my eyes go to Hanabi.

"What are you thinking?"

She shrugs.

"Father is plotting to frighten Sasuke with the only person whom would help just for their own sick twisted amusement."

"Itachi?"

She nods.

"Who else? Besides I think it is a splendid idea…perhaps better then destroying the party and creating another fire."

"That was you?"

She nodded at me.

"Of course. Do you really think the two idiots I framed are smart enough to create a chemical from house hold products that would explode at a specific moment when father dear would be standing on the dock alone? I think not likely."

As I watch Hanabi leave I let out the breath that I had been holding. I realized Hanabi was insane. I looked at my uncles door only to be met with:

"Yes YES! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Scratch that they were ALL insane.

(Normal POV)

"You lucky dog you!" Kiba shouts grabbing hold of Sasuke's shoulders smiling. The man's short brown hair was combed but still retained it's unruly nature and the red tattoos on his cheeks seemed bolder then usual. "You got the girl of both our dreams!" His canines shined and Sasuke shivered inwardly.

"Ah c'mon Kiba stop being a dick head!" Naruto says from beside Sasuke, already past buzzed and almost shit face, something that Sasuke called pissed. "All's fare in love'n'war. Ya lost the girl and Sasuke found her."

Kiba rolled his eyes.

"Yeah well…"

While Kiba muttered and Naruto downed another glass of whatever he was drinking Sasuke slinked ever so carefully away to Shino and Gaara whom were leaning against the far wall not speaking.

"Hello there." Sasuke said standing in front of them. Shino nodded and Gaara smirked.

"Looks like a great party Uchiha." Gaara began.

"Yes."

"So why aren't you having any fun?"

Sasuke gulped and cursed himself for his falter in hiding his emotions when he noted Gaara's peeked interest and Shino's grunt.

"Too many people, to be honest with you. Why are you here?"

Gaara pointed to the girl with pink hair and Sasuke nodded.

"Girlfriend huh?"

"Actually…" Gaara began but was interrupted by a loud belch and Naruto's laughter. It seems that after a few too many drinks Kiba was partial to pass out.

"Well that humiliating." Shino finally said.

"Yes, quite."

Sera: Here is the beginning of the party. I am debating whether or not to have some people go into the pool. Could be funny o see Gaara with floaters, since he's from the desert and cant swim most likely, and Rock Lee and Gai in Speedos.

Hiashi: That's disgusting.

Sera: The floaters?

Hiashi: The Speedos.


Sera: Oh.
