Family Affairs: Chapter Seven

A.N: Okay sorry for the long wait, surgery is a bitch. No excuses, I am a failure. :(
Anyways, this is me trying to make it up. I am putting this one out quick and plan to start on the next one right after! Hehe lucky my doctor told my dad I should be home longer. I got ten days, but I'm thinking Monday I'm going to school. The reason being because there is nothing on T.V during the day. I know the much top ten by heart, yes I hate myself. Stupid music why are you the only thing on? Why must they have old people shows take up everything?! They fall asleep anyways no one cares how it's made okay?! And when I was a kid I watched cool shows my question to you guys is whattttt the hell are they letting kids watch these days?! A fricken kid with a bucket of dinosaurs that come to life. Okay honestly I think the only way to understand let alone enjoy that show is a visit to the local drug dealer for some magic mushrooms. :/ Thank you guys for being so patient and understanding. You guys are why I write! 3

LAST TIME...

FOURTEENTH BIRTHDAY!

This years plan was a modern dance in the ball room. It was decked out to look like a school dance. Iruka-sensei described it as a semi-formal something he had seen from when he taught in private schools. Once again, I was stuck dressed like a chick. The only difference is this I convinced mom to dress Sasori-nichan like one as well.

So here we are, all decked out for the party...

I had on a gold halter top dress that went mid-thigh in length and was very sparkly, would have been considered skanky had it not been on me, Naruto the cute, innocent 14 year old angel prince. The dress was exactly what I wanted. The dress clung to my strangely, now more pronounced curves but flowed out in a bubble at the hip area. I paired it off with some golden, sparkly ballet-flats, a golden locket, and some tiny golden heart shaped studs.

I no longer needed the extensions because my hair had grow out to my mid-back length-wise. I was forced to sit painfully still for two and a half long hours while my mom curled it into beautiful ringlets of perfection-her quote, not mine. This time my straight bangs were curled and pinned back away from my face.

In terms of makeup, smokey eyes and some lip gloss. Okay I know you guys are all a little freaked out right now, but I can't help it. My whole life I've been more feminine. How I look and how I act...also how I dressed thanks to my mom. And now you're saying but you have a choice dude, now you don't have to. I'm right aren't I? Figures, stereotypes piss me off. I don't like being labeled. Think about it. When one mentions me what do they say? To them I am undefinable I am a boy, but I look like a girl. So what am I? I am what I choose to be, you see? It's very complicated and I probably make no sense. But in simpler terms, I like to be in control, something that until now I haven't really had. I do as the King, my father and his council wishes of me and I probably will have to for the rest of my life. I am a tool to be used by the kingdom. This is one thing I can choose, one thing I can control. Not only that but I guess you could say I feel in control when boys look at me, I see it in there eyes. That they would do anything I ask of them, and I like it.

I tried not to laugh hysterically at Sasori-nichan who looked for a lack of better words, completely depressed but I could not help myself.
Kukuku... yup, like mother like daug-son blah.

...shut up...

Sasori-nichan had extensions in, about the same length as my hair, also curled nicely like mine. Too bad his took about 40 minutes and mine more then twice that time! His bangs were left straight, framing his face unlike mine.

His dress? Red silk, spaghetti-strapped, tight at the chest then an flaring out in a waterfall type of pattern, to end just above the knee.

Mom had put on some silver eye shadow, a touch of eye liner, some blush, and some lip gloss.

I almost popped a kidney from the laughing that ensued when Sasori-ni caught sight of the silver stilettos that were predeclared to adorn his feet that night. This got me attacked with one of said stilettos and had mom trying to calm down the resulting disaster. Eventually he relented, cough mom took out one of her throwing knives. Finished off by a set of jewelry identical to mine in silver.

"You guys are just too pretty. All the women will be jealous!" gloated mom as she swooned, taking picture after picture.

"Mawwwmmm I don't want to be a woman!" complained Sasori-ni, trying to move out of the camera light.

I smiled reassuringly. "Sasori-ni think of all the guys who will pay attention to you" I stated too innocently. Hey we all know that's my reason. I'm an attention whore, Sasori-ni? Not so much. He likes blending in and he dislikes attention from males even more. Probably why he dislikes how showy Itachi-kun is. Poor Itachi-kun it took him so long to get Sasori-nichan to give in.

My answer was an unreadable look which disappointed me, ahh fail at getting a reaction. Sasori-ni is just no fun when he's moody. "Itachi-kun will beat em' up" he said with a pout.

Aww he is so in love. He doesn't want the attention because he's got the attention from the only person he wants it from. That is what I want, an attention that is better then the attention of a whole crowd. An attention that doesn't disappear in a fleeting moment but lasts. Yes I shall find my love, but until then I must fill the void.

"I'm sure Itachi-kun will think you look beautiful" declared mom, running to get ready.

From the corner of my eye I seen the blush that decorated the usually frowning face of my elder brother. Naruto jealousy is unbecoming... "Hey mommy is it okay if we go on and head to the party?" I ask sweetly, blinking owlishly at my busy body of a mother.

"Sure honey, off you two go. Protect each other from perverts!" she yelled in reply from the closet she had disappeared into, searching for her lost dress.

I grabbed Sasori-ni's hand and took off out of the room, sending him a smirk.

"Shut up" he mumbled, stumbling a little with my quick speed. "Hey I'm wearing heels here!" he grumbled using his superior strength to slow my speed down into a slow trot.

I pouted childishly. "Hurry up!" I whined in a tone I knew annoyed him, just for amusement.

"We're already there calm down Naru-chan" was his reply using his motherly voice that he for a fact new annoyed me. Fact being I told him so many times, and his smirk proved he did not forget that.

I scowled but nonetheless turned to him. "Can I hangout with you and Itachi-kun tonight Nichan?" I ask nervously.

"Of course! I never see you at these parties. Besides, maybe Itachi won't molest me if you are around" he exclaimed dreamily with stars in his eyes.

I smirked, "Pft you know that's not going to happen, why give yourself false hope Ni-chan?" I replied in a sing-song voice shaking my finger at him.

His shoulders slumped. "Why can't you let me pretend?!" he whined.

I laughed mockingly, "Cheer up little girl!" I bellowed making him smack me in the back of the head.

"Itai! What the hell Nichan?!" I exclaimed pouting with my puppy eyes. You better say sorry, yeah feel the super cute eyes of guilt stare!

"I am not a girl and you little she-boy are a re-tardd!" he replied smugly.

I gasped loudly. "I am not a she-boy! I'm a he-girl get it right!" I retorted, smirking at his sweat drop expression. Haha win Naruto!

"Whatever you freak let's go find that pervert" he stated with a smile, grabbing my arm and dragging me off on his quest to find his love.

We didn't have to push or shove our way through because of the ball room's immense size, leaving plenty of room for everyone.

"Sasori-chan, you look beautiful" complimented Itachi, raising his slightly in his I'm an Uchiha this just made you hot look, proven by the blush that adorned Sasori's face. Oh jeez too much love going around.

"Shadup" replied Sasori-ni, waving his hand dismissively to cover up his embarrassment.

"I decided I was sick of mom playing dress up with me all these years but not with Sasori-nichan. So I convinced her she was favoring me more then Nichan" I interrupted, winking at the two.

Sasori scowled at the reminder and probably the memory of the guilt trip she put him through when he blatantly refused. Mothers really are the masters of getting what they want, they developed and perfected the guilt trip. Maybe when you go through those pre-natal classes they teach you it, or perhaps when they are giving birth it comes to them.

Itachi's eyes wavered from it's examination of Sasori to me with interest. "Well thank you Naru-chan. Did you pick out the dress too?" he asked questioningly.

"Nope. That was Sasori-nichan. He picked it out because it's your favorite color. I only gave him a hint" I replied cheekily, delighting in the blush that bloomed on Sasori-ni's face and the heated look on Itachi's. Jealous I may be, but happy for them nonetheless. I'm a bitch but I appreciate cuteness just as much as the next...person. Since those two were lost in their own little world and by that I mean ogling each other, I decided to look around and give them a bit of privacy. With a bit of surprise I noticed Sasuke standing next to Itachi-kun, wow he must have been there the whole time. Be civil Naruto, ci-vil. That's one thing that changed. Now that I'm older and closer to marrying age I have been getting taught some more...PG things. One thing was that I had to stop being temperamental and easily angered because those are characteristics not looked for in a husband or a wife.

If I want a good husband-or wife- I have to behave like a lady-I'm not even going to pretend I want a wife anymore-this is why I've been taking mandatory etiquette classes for the past four years.

"Hello Sasuke-kun" I say in my cute cheery voice, holding back what I really want to say.

His eyes slowly turned to me, as if I were nothing but an annoyance reminding me why I dislike him so much. "Hn. Dobe" he replied, smirking then looking away.

Another reason I detested him so. He continuously denied me the attention I craved so badly. Why was it that he never noticed me, never looked at me longer then he had to, never treated me like any other boys? It infuriated me because I could not understand why he did not like me. I could not understand him, which was a fist for me.

It was steadily becoming easier and easier to fight the reoccurring blush of anger that was a direct result of any communication with one Uchiha Sasuke. I took a deep breathe and let out all of my anger in one swoosh of breathe. Refocusing my attention on the bastard I followed his glare to meet two milky eyes framed by a shiny mane of chocolate hair longer then my own. I inwardly smirked, putting on my most demure smile and waving at Neji. Ahh so he does notice me, well he notices that Neji notices me and doesn't like it. I wonder why this is so...

Sasuke, who was watching Neji caught the change in his expression from glare to smirk and turned his dark eyes on me once more.

I desperately wanted to cover myself as his eyes slowly trailed down my body, the action foreign and for some reason making me feel exposed to him. His eyes stopped on my visible thighs and flashed with some unknown emotion that made my breath catch in my throat. Okay not good. Sasuke is looking at me, he never looks at me-and he's look at me in a weird way, a bad way. Yes bad, that's what it is, I don't know why it's bad, but it is. Okay now to get myself out of this weird situation, and why the hell am I breathing so heavily I need to calm down. Look around for something to distract myself with... hey where did Neji go? Fail with that option, option two Nichan and Itachi-kun-and they are gone as well. I reluctantly brought my eyes back to Sasuke and noticed he was visibly closer to me then before. Hey back yourself up I know that I do not want to be two feet away from you bastard! I swallowed nervously, working up the courage to tell him off when he grabbed my hand and started to walk towards the private bathrooms. An unexplainable sense of dread curled in my stomach. Calm down Naruto he's probably just bringing you to Sasori-ni and Itachi so he can ditch you. But he never helps me... Well it is my birthday... But he has never been nice to me on other birthdays... He was abducted and replaced by an alien nothing is going to happen. What happened to the music?! Okay focus on what's going on. Why are we going towards the washroom door? I quickly pulled my hand from his and he turned to face me. I waited for him to say something and when all he did was stare at me intensely I had the insane urge to fidget, or run screaming. Alien abduction it is...something's wrong with Sasuke, I think he's broken. Inside I'm joking but that's just to keep me calm. I licked my dry lips, attempting to calm down so I could rationally think of a way to extract myself from this unusual situation. My eyes were glued to his waiting for some kind of action or speech, which is why I immediately noticed when his eyes moved to my lips at my previous action. This shocked me to the core. What the-

He took two steps forward, pushing me up against the wall.

I can't breath so you need to back off because I feel sooo claustrophobic right now-God he smells so good-no. No, back the hell up boy!

"What is your relationship with Hyuga?" he asked-no demanded in a voice that didn't need to be loud to show how serious he was. This completely snapped me out of my inner debate what a bastard! How dare he? My previous feelings were erased in in there place a slowly increasing ball of burning anger. I now use the adjective burning because of the extent of that anger. Anger so hot and so uncontrolled it could only be compared to fire. Etiquette, remember Naruto keep calm. I enhaled calmly once more, meeting his smoldering eyes head on; well keep in mind I'm about a foot in a half shorter then him, huge bastard. "I believe my relationship with Neji-kun is none of your business Uchiha" I shot back defiantly.

Sasuke scowled, moving his arms to either side of me against the wall, effectively trapping me. Staring straight down into my eyes he retorted with "You're fucking him aren't you slut?" snarling the words out in a deadly quiet tone, and glaring at me with nothing short of hatred.

This completely caught me off guard never before had anyone ever talked to me in such a manner let alone accused me of being nothing less then innocent. Sex up until two years ago was an unknown topic. But of the two years I've known about it, never have I talked about it or heard it talked about in such a harsh way. I had no idea how to react, so I didn't, I was too shocked to.

It didn't like he expected an answer anyways because he glared at me with nothing short of hatred, pushing his body closer to mine, and bringing his face within inches of my own.

I was scared of the way he was acting but his accusation had finally sunk in, and boy was I pissed off. "Oh I assure you Sasuke, I have not slept with Neji-kun or anyone else for that matter. But since you think so low of me maybe I should. I'm sure Neji-kun wouldn't mind deflowering me after I got him to stop acting like such a gentleman" I retorted angrily, pushing my face closer to his.

His posture went rigid at my reply. His eyes full of hatred and something else. He quickly closed the distance between our lips, startling me. The kiss was passionately full of rage, making it all the more hot.

I don't know why I was kicking his ass but instead I was an equal participant, kissing back with equal fervor. Even going as far as to open my mouth when his demanding tongue sought entrance.

His hands left the wall winding themselves around my waist.

Mine went around his neck, my fingers entwining in his stupid duck-ass hair that was surprisingly very soft. That was the least of my worries after I let out an embarrassing moan, oh god please smite me where I stand.

He groaned in response, his hand traveling down my waist to rest on my naked thigh, just under where my dress stopped.

Okay that's new and I want nothing more then to move his hand but his rough hand felt really good on my smooth skin. I gasped as I felt movement from the hated hand. Noooooo! It's going under my dress ahhh.

His mouth pulled away from mine to attach to my neck, nibbling on the flesh there softly and resulting in another embarrassing soft moan on my part. I found his sudden gentleness weird and was a little suspicious.

My suspicion was proved valid when he bit into my neck, sucking with the intention to mark. Oh yeah I may be innocent but unfortunately I've had my fare share of sex-ed classes with Iruka-sensei who believe it or not, runs a very thorough class. I was a little peeved that he was marking me it hurt too, but I still enjoyed it. Letting out a particularly loud moan and regretting it when he pulled back smirking at me sexily but still smug, tch bastard.

Hmph I wanted revenge so mustering all my strength I reversed our positions, pressing my body tightly against his and attaching my seeking lips to the smooth skin of his neck. Whoever said revenge is sweet wasn't lying, the startled look on his face was pretty sweet-so was the taste of his skin-okay lets not go there! I'm in charge now, so what do I do? My hand trailed his body suggestively, feeling the hard planes of his fifteen year-old body-wow someone hits the gym.

His hand suddenly grabbed mine and put it on his groin freaking the hell out of me. I panicked and for a second wanted to run away when he leaned down and bit my neck again. Feeling bold I ran the palm of my hand along his erection, watching him closely for any reactions. I was a little disappointed at the lack of reaction besides heavier breathing. Adding more force I tried once again, rejoicing at the small moan that escaped his parted lips.

He grabbed my hand which confused me, pushed me away, and pulled me into the washroom door a few feet away from our position on the wall. He quickly sat on the sofa in the sitting section of the washroom and used the momentum to pull me on top of his lap.

The position was awkward I was straddling him,our posture making my dress riding up, and his erection pressing into me. The fear from earlier came back full force and stronger then before. I moved to get off his lap when he tugged me back down. I looked at him silently trying to come up with something to do, his eyes were darker then usual.

His hand came up and rubbed my cheek slowly, paralyzing me with shock-was he being n-nice?

I was filled with tenderness and longing. Sasuke in this moment seemed so amazing and I wanted to please him. "S-show me" I stated nervously, gazing at him with uncertainty.

His hand on my cheek pulled me closer and he kissed me slowly this time, his tongue making lazy circles around my mouth. When he pulled back he stared at me silently for a few seconds before flipping us over so I lay under him with him laying on top of me. He started to kiss my neck again and with one hand began to push my dress up. I could feel it moving inch by inch and my breath caught. What am I doing? Am I ready for this? With Sasuke?

It seems Sasuke had a talent for sensing my panic as he lent down and kissed me smoothly, his hand stilling it's progress in lifting my dress and instead making its way under said article of clothing.

I calmed down slightly until I felt him trace the edge of my underwear with the tips of his fingers. I gasped into his mouth getting ready to push him off me.

I didn't have to as the door came flying open and in walked a silver haired man with a mask covering half his face and a bandanna over his right eye.

Sasuke's hand quickly left my dress and he pulled away from me to look at the intruder.

"Oh Sasuke-kun, there you are! I've been looking all over for you. Your father wants you to come and meet some important people" the man chirped cheerfully.

Sasuke glared at him.

"Who is this pretty lady?" the weirdo asked curiously making me blush. Oh my god I am so mortified. What the hell kind of a position have I got myself into?!

Sasuke did not look like he was going to answer, so I took it upon myself to. No matter what position you are in politeness is always necessary. "Naruto" I replied , smiling slightly.

The man's face curiously blanked but before I could investigate further Sasuke interrupted.

"Kakashi, I'll be out in a minute" he stated coldly, getting off me.

The man now known as Kakashi departed without complaint, whistling a happy tune. What an odd character...

I watched as Sasuke went to the sink and splashed some water on his face, he dried his face and calmly walked out of the washroom.

He didn't talk to me, he didn't say one word, he wouldn't even look at me. I didn't understand, there was interest there, I seen interest, I felt interest. So once again he's going to ignore me? Wow, it seems Sasuke really is the bastard I always said he was.

I sat in that washroom allowing myself to express my sudden loneliness and the feeling of being completely and utterly used to take over me.

After about twenty minutes I forced myself up from my laying position on the couch, straightened out my dress, fixed my hair & makeup, and left-heading back out to the dance.

I found Itachi-kun and Sasori-ni sexing it up in a corner, well Itachi-kun sexing it up and Sasori-ni slapping him.

I was reminded of what just happened and with a deep sigh I decided to stay far away from Uchiha Sasuke. I let out a small smile, one day I would be doing the same thing with my husband. Unconsciously my hand moved to the sore spot on my neck where upon investigation via makeup mirror I spotted a big purple mark forming.

I looked back at the happy couple and decided to let them be, heading out to the garden instead. I wonder who I will end up with...

Will it be Deidara-kun or Neji-kun? Definitely not Sasuke-yarou. Who cares how sexy he is and how attracted I am to him. He is a bastard who used me and doesn't care about me at all. I will not have a loveless marriage. Not to mention regardless of sexual attraction we can't even hold a conversation and I refused to be once again used for sex, status, or wealth.

I huffed, sitting on the bench swing and lightly swinging.

Deidara-kun or Neji-kun would make great husbands. Perhaps I can love them and they could love me too...

I sighed sleepily, resting my head on the cushion and curling up on the swing.

Minato's P.O.V

The party has finished and I can't find Naru-chan anywhere near the ballroom. In a last ditch attempt I headed out to the garden, his favorite place in the palace. Sure enough, I found him on the bench curled up like a kitten and fast asleep. A gust of wind blew by and I watched as his small body shivered, taking out my coat I wrapped him up in it and scooped him into my arms. Geez, for a fourteen year-old boy he's so small and weighs like nothing. Shifting him in my arms, bridal style I carried him into the palace. Inside people bid me goodnight, smiling fondly at the sleeping cutie in my arms. Continuing my mission I begin the draining trek up the winding staircase. I must be getting old because these stairs seem a hell of a lot longer. I make a right, opening his bedroom door while simultaneously trying to not muss my baby from his sleep. I lay him on the large bed, pulling the blankets down and covering him up. He immediately curls up in a ball, making me laugh quietly. I kiss him on the cheek and get up to leave.

"...Panda-chan"

I sigh, poor Naru-chan. Where the hell are those two? Stupid Shukaku and his violent little demon child. Damn it I bet my little Naru-chan is unconsciously in love with him...does this mean I have to pay for the wedding?! No way. I will not lose to him, he'll never let me live it down. They'll come back sooner or later, and when they do we'll be ready. "We can not lose!" Man who the hell is yelling at this time? They'll wake up my baby. I notice I was the one who yelled and my upraised hand quickly goes to cover my mouth. Ugh Guy is rubbing off on me, I did the victory pose without knowing it. Okay...to bed it is! I quietly tip-toe out of the room and into Sasori-chan's. I smile at the sleeping red head. As much as I'd love strong and manly sons I just can't give up the cute and girly one's I have. I give him a kiss on the cheek and pull the blankets closer around him before taking my leave. When I tiredly enter my room I find my lovely wife already asleep. Married only for a few months I've never been happier, she definitely is the love of my life. I kiss her lightly and crawl into bed next to her, waiting for sleep to take me as well.

PREVIEW FOR NEXT CHAPTER!

SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY!

Upon my insistence, my sixteenth birthday was not some grand party like my mom had wanted. I wanted something casual and fun. Something public, so I didn't have to deal with horny guys that wanted to get with the King's child. I guess it's also so I don't end up alone with Deidara-kun or Neji-kun. I have a weird feeling that just because I'm of age now they'll do something stupid, like ask my dad for my hand in marriage. Even Sasuke-teme has been acting strange these past few weeks. Damn bastard probably has some trick up his sleeve to make my birthday horrible. He won't succeed, I must use this get together to find my potential marriage partner. I won't fail.

A.N: Okay guys what do you think? Sorry once again. Send me some reviews (How about I update when I get ten more?). I want to know what you think about the lemony scene? Is it horrible should I just never write again? Just tell me. Also I'd like to hear what you guys think about the Sasuke scene I changed it a lot from my original piece. I left this open for a possible SasuNaru. Naruto, is not aware of this though. :P Guys this story can go anyways, I'm leaving it in your hands. The original is GaaNaru but I wrote it a logn time ago sooooo REVIEW. Anyways next chapter should be up in a couple days. I plan to write it tomorrow or the day after. This also depends on if and how much homework my dad picks up for me at school. :/ Another update FOR SURE this week. Okie, sleep now these meds have my head hurting like craa-zyyy.
