Chapter Seven


Naruto sobbed softly, his cries dying down. Commotion at the door drew his eye. Naruto whirled, pushing his eye to the keyhole.

"Oh!" he cried at the sight of Kankuro and Choji scrambling up the stairs with the key to his room. "Oh!"

"Look, look, Naru!" Kankuro cried. "Key!"

"Key!" Choji replied as Kankuro dashed forward. "Ke-"

Choji was cut off by a cup slamming over him.

"No!" Naruto screamed. "No!"

Kabuto snickered evilly as he held down the cup.

"No, Kabuto, no!" Naruto cried. "Let him go! Please!"

Kabuto ignored the blonde, inspecting the cup. Suddenly, he was hit by a hailstorm of items, ranging from forks to spools. The mice and birds attacked the cat, desperately trying to free Choji and the key.

"Kiba…" Naruto whispered. His voice became a shout. "Yes! Kiba! Get Kiba!"

Genma and Anko took off out a window immediately. They swooped away and down towards Gaara's stall, which Kiba was laying in front of; asleep.

The birds chirped in the dog's ear, but the large hound ignored them. They pecked at his ears and tugged at his tail until Gaara snorted loudly. Kiba leapt to his feet, barking. Anko and Genma swooped him again, provoking the dog to chase them into the house and towards Naruto.


"Are you even trying?" Ino demanded. Konohamaru sighed, ready to wrestle with the slipper harder. Ino rolled her eyes, kicking him out of the way with her other foot. "I'll do it!"

Ino bent down, ready to shove her foot into the slipper. She would make it fit.

"There!" she cried. She raised her foot proudly. "It fits!"

"It fits!" Orochimaru repeated, triumph shining in his eyes.

Iruka leant forward, his eyes locked on the shoe. Ino's toes had been jammed in one end, her heel in the other.

Iruka frowned. It didn't really fit…but he might get away with-

With a slight 'pop' the shoe went flying off Ino's foot and soaring through the air.

"No!" Iruka cried. He and Konohamaru ran around desperately, ready to catch it. They tripped over each other and Iruka managed to just catch it. He glared up at Orochimaru.

"Oh my," Orochimaru murmured. "I'm terribly sorry, your grace, it won't happen again."


Kiba barked loudly as he scrambled up the last step, growling as he saw Kabuto.

Kabuto leapt into the air, yowling as he saw Kiba. He abandoned the mouse in favour of leaping out the window. Kiba leapt up onto the windowsill, watching as Kabuto fell to the ground below. He wouldn't be getting up anytime soon.

Choji, seeing he was free, snatched up the large key and dragged it to the door, pushing it under before sliding beneath the heavy wood.

"Thank you!" Naruto cried as he grabbed the key. "Oh thank you!"


"Is there no one else here?" Iruka asked as he stood by the door, ready to leave. "No one?"

"No," Orochimaru said harshly. "There is no one else."

Iruka nodded, straightening his jacket.

"In that case," he said. "We should be movin-"

"Wait!"

Orochimaru gasped, turning to the stairs. Naruto dashed down them, barefoot, eyes wide.

"C-Can I try?" he asked, breathlessly. "Oh please?"

"Oh, he's no one," Orochimaru said, stepping forward. "No one important."

"Nevertheless," Iruka said, raising a hand. "He will try it. I have orders."

Iruka smiled at the blonde. He looked a lot friendlier than the snake and his daughters. His blue eyes were wide with hope.

"Come here," Iruka said, holding a hand out to the blonde. Naruto took the hand, allowing himself to be led to a seat. Iruka settled the delicate blonde, smiling. He looked a lot more promising.

"Bring the slipper," Iruka demanded. "We must let… I'm sorry, your name…?"

"Naruto," Naruto said softly. "It's Naruto…"

"Naruto," Iruka repeated. "Naruto will try it on."

Konohamaru grinned, rushing forward.

Orochimaru's eyes glittered and his foot shot out subtly. Konohamaru went sprawling, the slipper flying through the air.

"No!" Iruka cried. "No!"

The slipper hit the ground, the crystal shattering. Iruka fell to the ground with a cry.

"No!" he cried. "What's the King going to say!? What will he do!?"

"Your grace," Naruto mumbled. "I-I think I can help…"

"No," Iruka moaned. "No you can't…"

"But you see," Naruto said with a smile. Iruka looked over at him as Naruto drew something out of his pocket. "I have the other slipper."

Iruka gasped at the sparkling crystal shoe in Naruto's hand. He leaned forward, taking it cautiously. Scrambling to his knees he shuffled forward in front of Naruto, taking the slipper carefully and slipping it onto Naruto's foot.

Iruka gasped as the slipper slid onto Naruto's foot perfectly. Naruto grinned widely, as it sparkled on his foot.

"S-Success!" Iruka stuttered. "I-It fits! It fits!"


Naruto stared around the palace entrance hall with wide eyes. It sparkled in the early morning light, revealing it's grandeur for Naruto's eyes.

"Wow…" he whispered. "It's…"

"Excessive?" Iruka supplied. "I know. Come with me, you must meet the King."

"The King?" Naruto repeated. "But Sasuke…"

Iruka stopped, smiling at the want in Naruto's voice.

"You'll see his highness soon enough," he informed Naruto. "But the King would like to meet you now."

"Right," Naruto mumbled, a light blush on his face. "The King…"

"I warn you," Iruka said as he led Naruto through a maze of corridors. "He's a bit… odd…"

"Odd?" Naruto asked as Iruka opened a door. Iruka nodded, herding Naruto in.

"Odd," he confirmed. Suddenly Iruka was tackled into a hug by an over enthusiastic Kakashi.

"You found him!" he cried. "You found him! You shall have that knighthood my friend! My dear friend!"

Naruto stared down at the King, shocked by his casualness with the Duke. Iruka sighed heavily, obviously used to the attitude.

"Naruto, this is King Kakashi," he said in world-weary voice. "Sire, this is Naruto, the one who the slipper fits."

"Excellent!" Kakashi said, leaping to his feet. "Fantastic!"

Kakashi grinned at him before hugging him briefly. Naruto's eyes widened as he met Iruka's gaze. Iruka sighed once more.

"This way!" Kakashi announced as he led Naruto back out the door. "I'll show you to your room."

"My room?" Naruto asked. Kakashi nodded.

"Yes, your room," Kakashi said as he led Naruto down a hall. "Until you and Sasuke are married you will have your own room. As is proper."

"Right," Naruto mumbled. "Proper…"

Kakashi stopped outside a door, opening it to reveal the most extravagant room Naruto had ever seen. Naruto's already wide eyes grew as he stepped in, his eyes tracing the expensive furniture and soft-looking bed.

"Now, Iruka," Kakashi said, turning back to the Duke. "I will summon Sasuke to my office, and tell him we have found him a bride."

"Bride!?" Naruto repeated. "I'm not a girl!"

Kakashi ignored the blonde.

"Bring Naruto in after ten minutes, ok?" Kakashi continued. Iruka opened his mouth. "No questions!"

"Yes, sire," Iruka said heavily. Kakashi swept from the room, practically skipping. "Idiot…"

"I'll see Sasuke now?" Naruto asked hopefully. Iruka smiled at him.

"Yes, you'll see his highness now," he said. "Or, in ten minutes at least."


Sasuke stomped into Kakashi's study, eyes blazing. He didn't have time to waste on his father's idiotic games. He had a blonde dobe to find and conquer.

"What do you want?" he demanded as he glared at Kakashi. "I'm busy."

"No you're not," Kakashi said gleefully. "Not anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke demanded. Kakashi's face turned serious.

"It's time, Sasuke," he said. "Time you settled down."

"I won't," he said angrily. "Not with anyone but my dobe, not with anyone you choose."

The door opened behind Sasuke but he didn't turn.

"Oh really?" Kakashi asked, smirking. "No one I choose?"

Kakashi gestured to the door and Sasuke turned, ready to reject the girl his father chose, but when his eyes fell on the person in the doorway his breath caught.

Naruto, dressed in plain servants clothes, stood just inside the door. His blue eyes were wide, his golden hair in disarray as he stepped forward. His eyes showed uncertainty, fear, hope and love. So much love.

"N-Naruto?" Sasuke whispered. A smile flittered onto the blonde's face, stopping Sasuke's heart. Naruto nodded, taking another step forward.

"Sasuke…" he whispered. A soft smile appeared on Sasuke's face and he took a step forward.

"Ah, ah, ah, Sasuke," Kakashi interrupted as he strode forward to stand in between Sasuke and his dobe. "I thought you didn't want anyone I chose?"

"Shut up," Sasuke hissed to Kakashi, his eyes still on Naruto. "Get out of my way."

Kakashi moved to the side, smiling as Sasuke crossed to the blonde. As the raven swept towards him, Naruto began to feel more and more nervous. He bowed deeply, remaining like that as Sasuke stopped before him.

"Y-Your highness," he stuttered. Sasuke growled lightly, grabbing the blonde's head and straightening him. He then pulled the shocked blonde into a deep kiss.

Naruto purred softly as Sasuke's lips hit his. Sasuke's arms snaked around his waist, pulling him against the raven's strong chest as he deepened the kiss to provoke more of those delicious noises. Naruto's arms snaked up to grip Sasuke's hair, tilting his head gently.

Sasuke slid his tongue along Naruto's bottom lip and let out a soft moan as Naruto's mouth opened slightly. Sasuke pounced on the action, slipping his tongue straight in. Naruto mewled against his mouth as Sasuke's taste flooded him.

Sasuke crushed the blonde closer to him desperately, trying to shove his tongue further down the blonde's throat. Naruto's taste was flying straight to his head like alcohol, making him dizzy. Naruto was in a similar situation, Sasuke's sharp taste fogging his brain.

"Well now…"

Naruto tore his mouth free at the King's voice. Sasuke growled softly as Naruto rested his head on the raven's chest. He glared over at Kakashi, promising him pain for interrupting them.

"I'll start planning the wedding at once," Kakashi said with a smile. "Iruka! Plan the wedding!"

Iruka rolled his eyes before nodding. Sasuke's eyes locked onto Naruto's blonde head. Naruto looked up at him smiling. Sasuke returned the smile.

"I can't wait…"
