Hello my lovelies it's Mugen here, how are you all today? Luckily I have no coursework to do tonight so I'm gonna do chapter seven tonight yayyy :D. I'm glad to hear everyone liked the last chapter and Winterspirit I love you much, you are just adorable and I just wanna thank you for your continued support, as a little thank you how would you like your own personal one shot featuring whichever two characters you like ;)? Anyway since there were a couple of questions I thought I'd answer them.
PrincessAnime08: Yes there were some serious misunderstanding between the characters in the previous chapter but Kashi and Ruka may be able to fix things but not sure how it's gonna play out yet.
Clio1111: Clio I can't really reveal too much without giving away too much of the story when it comes to them but let's just say Kakashi flipping had been coming for a while it wasn't just Naruto having a go at Iruka that set him off it was Iruka's reaction more than anything that's set things into action. And we're gonna find out why in the next few chapters.
WinterSpirit13: Sweetie Darling hello :D! Again thank you for your continued support I have to say at the moment you're reviews are my favourite and I always get happy when I see you've reviewed. You like me seem to be an avid Kakairu and Sasunaru fan and I'm glad you've been enjoying the story upto now . When it comes to Kashi's reaction basically it had been coming for a while now but let's just say Iruka's response after he defended pushed him just a little bit too far away. The main reason why he flipped so bad is because he defended the man he loves only to have it practically thrown in his face . As for whether things can saved between the two, let's just say for now the two are on a temporary break that may or may not become permanent. The next few chapters are hopefully gonna provide more of an insight as to why it happened, anyway let me interested if you're interested in the one shot ;D?
Anyway guys enough waffling here is chapter 7 I hope you guys enjoy.
Chapter 7: I'm Incomplete without you
The song for this chapter is Adore You by Miley Cyrus because I feel that deep down no matter what Sasuke says he truly does adore Naruto, well Naruto certainly adores Sasuke says anyway :').
As Sasuke lead Naruto to Kakashi's apartment Naruto couldn't help but feel sick with worry, to say he was worried after he confronted Iruka about Kakashi's reaction was an understatement.
Sasuke could tell from how quiet Naruto was that he was nervous about seeing Kakashi and often gave his hand a reassuring squeeze on the way there, however it didn't seem to be helping the situation, it was obviously playing on his mind and all Sasuke wanted to do was distract him from it at least temporarily, it was his birthday, it was supposed to be a day of happiness not worrying.
As Sasuke and Naruto arrived outside the front door Sasuke reached inside his coat pocket for the front door key whilst checking the nearby window for any signs that Kakashi was in such as a light turned on.
Hmm I can't see anything, it seems like Kakashi's out, looks like it should be fine to invite Naruto in, argh to hell with this I am not leaving my boyfriend outside to freeze in the cold Sasuke thought as he unlocked the front door no longer caring what Kakashi thought let him dare say anything to Naruto, he may not have had his sharingan but he was fairly sure he could beat the man in a straight up fist fight.
However Sasuke was in no mood for fighting, all he wanted was a peaceful, precious night with his dobe to remember, to give him a happy birthday for once, throughout all the birthdays Naruto had had Sasuke honestly couldn't remember a single one of them being happy, well for the one's he was actually present for anyway, this year he wanted to change.
Moving to go through the door he noticed the dobe hadn't moved and appeared unsure about whether he wanted to go in or not.
"You coming inside dobe? It's cold outside you know!" Sasuke said smirking and matter of factly like Naruto wasn't aware of it.
"I-.. erm.."
"Look Naruto!" Sasuke said placing a hand gently under his chin "I won't let him have a go at you or even poke you I promise!" Sasuke smiled trying to reassure him, Now that Sasuke was back in Konoha he would always be there to protect his precious dobe he promised himself that after Madara nearly succeeded in killing Naruto after extracting the nine tails for him, Sasuke had never been more scared for Naruto in his life than he had been then
Still looking a bit unsure it took a kiss from Sasuke to ensure Naruto that everything would be fine, deciding to just man up and deal with Kakashi Naruto finally moved to follow Sasuke inside and to his surprise or maybe more so relief Kakashi was out, or at least appeared to be.
Sasuke quickly scanned the first floor of the apartment noting that something was off, for starters it was too clean, he'd been sure that Kakashi would have wrecked the place betime now.
Hmm looks like he hasn't been home yet! The question is though if he hasn't been home yet where is he? Sasuke pondered wondering where the perverted Jounin could be considering he wasn't home, however after a few minutes of allowing his mind to dwell on the matter he simply found he didn't care and headed upstairs but noticed Naruto wasn't following.
"You coming Naruto?" Sasuke asked shooting him a confused look as he caught the look of worry still present on Naruto's face, worry and sadness ruining his perfect bright, blue eyes which seemed a little duller and the huge trademark grin normally present on his face gone replaced a rather upset looking Naruto.
"Hey!" Sasuke said approaching Naruto stroking his cheek with one hand and allowing his free one to cup his chin "A gorgeous face like yours shouldn't be plagued with worry and sadness!" Sasuke said adopting a soft, caring tone to his voice.
Sasuke didn't want his dobe to be upset and for his 18th birthday just to be like the rest, you're 18th was supposed to be a huge, happy event celebrated with friends and family marking your transition into adulthood. However it suddenly dawned on Sasuke that Naruto had no family and the one person he considered family was in fits of tears only hours earlier.
Inwardly cursing Kakashi for making not only Iruka but Naruto too sad he wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist as he felt his head fell on his shoulder to rest. Running a hand through his head to massage his head in a soothing way calming the boy down a little at least.
Finally deciding to speak the sadness was obvious in Naruto's voice "Sasuke?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you think Iruka hates me for splitting him and Kakashi sensei up?" So this is why he had been so quiet, he felt bad and felt responsible for ruining Iruka's relationship with Kakashi.
"So that's why you've been so quiet and sad eh?" Sasuke sighed before bringing Naruto's head up "Naruto..." Sasuke began before noticing he wasn't looking at him, "Naruto look at me, please love!" He said apparently gaining his attention "Naruto listen to me, you were not responsible for splitting Kakashi and Iruka up, Kakashi saw to that himself after picking a row with Iruka! Iruka doesn't hate you, you're like a son to him, he loves you like you're his own flesh and blood you know that! I promise you Iruka doesn't hate you or hold you responsible!"
"How can you be so sure?" Naruto questioned seeming ever so slightly happier.
Sasuke sighed before smiling at him "Naruto if he hated you do you honestly think he would have stayed for the rest of your party or agreed to set lanterns off with us hmm?" Sasuke couldn't help but smile, Naruto had always been the type to get worried and was such a kind, caring and understanding person. Even when Sasuke had outright refused to return the village and attacked him he never gave up on him or passed judgement, just accepted it.
Sasuke simply took his boyfriend by the hand before gesturing upstairs "Come on hurry upstairs so I can get dressed and not worry about you down here, after all we have to pick your present up!"
"But Sasuke you already ordered all that food for me last night and bought me a birthday cake, you didn't have to get me anything else!" Naruto smiled sweetly, looking a little embarrassed for some reason.
Sasuke simply rolled his eyes before smirking at him "Like as if I'd just get you a load of takeaway and a cake! You mean so much more to me than that!" Sasuke stated as it should have been the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well thank you teme!" Naruto smiled shyly at him before they entered Sasuke's room, the first thought that came into his mind was how bare the place looked, if it hadn't been for the fact the room was immaculately clean he would have sworn nobody actually lived in it.
"Sasuke why's you're room so bare, all it has is like the basics, no personal touches or anything.
"I've only been here a couple of day's dobe so decorating hasn't exactly been on the top of the list! There's no personal touches as I didn't really have anything personal whilst living with Orochimaru, but I was hoping you could maybe help change that?" Sasuke asked expectantly.
"What do you mean help change it? If I decorated the room it would only mostly be orange anyway!" Naruto laughed.
"That's fine half the walls can be orange and the other half navy blue but that's as far as the orange goes!"
"Eh? Come again?" Naruto asked completely and utterly confused now
Sasuke simply smirked and had to resist the urge to hit his head in annoyance "Don't you get it dobe? I'm asking if you want to move in with me?"
"M-Move in with you?" Naruto asked sounding a little nervous.
"O-oh you don't have too if you don't want too?" Sasuke said trying his best not to sound too disappointed, he had been hoping he would be thrilled about moving in. "It's just I thought it would be nice for you instead of living alone, plus I said I wanted to make up for the past six years of time we missed, I figured it would at least help!"
Naruto had to stop himself from going aww at how cute Sasuke had sounded when he explained why he asked him, Damgh it, he was only trying to be nice and I have to go all awkward and stutter when he asks me!
"If you change your mind the double is big enough for both of u….!" Sasuke had begun with his eyes on the floor but suddenly found he hadn't been allowed to finish, as Naruto had pulled him into the tightest hug ever and kissing him with a passion Sasuke didn't know Naruto possessed, well at least not when it came to him anyway or so he had thought.
Sasuke simply stood a little in shock his eyes half lidded with genuine love as he looked at Naruto "So I take it that's a yes then?" Sasuke said smiling at him lovingly.
"Of course it's a yes teme, I'd love to move in with you provided Kakashi Sensei says its okay?"
Sasuke simply huffed rolling his eyes, "He doesn't have a say in this matter, not if he expects to have any chance of me helping him win back Iruka!" Sasuke stated quite confidently and matter of factly. "Oh and by the way the orange will be minimal I'm just warning you now I'm not having our room look like a giant orange peel!" Sasuke added smirking at his adorable dobe, loving the fact Naruto would probably go insane having Sasuke's colour scheme when decorating
Naruto's eye's widened a little in shock at the revelation he just heard. Sasuke was planning to help the pervert win back Iruka! He couldn't allow it, he wouldn't, wouldn't let Kakashi break his precious sensei's heart. "What you're gonna help that bastard win back sensei? After he broke his heart and spoke to him like dirt!" Naruto asked apparently outraged at the fact Sasuke would help him.
"Oh come on Naruto it's obvious to anyone that Iruka loves Kakashi and he loves Iruka! They just had an argument that got out of hand, don't you remember how we used to argue all the time?" Sasuke asked smirking slightly.
Naruto couldn't help but grin as he looked back on the times he and Sasuke had argued when they were younger and to the point they wanted to rip each other's head off.
"I know and look at us, we ended up going out despite everything!" Naruto couldn't stop himself from laughing at the irony of the relationship between the two.
"Exactly and you gave me a second chance!" Sasuke said unable to stop a small laugh escape his throat before his voice took on a serious tone, "You gave me a second chance despite everything, So Kakashi may have been a dick with Iruka, but look how many times I was a dick with you! My point being is if I can be given a second chance Kakashi can too Naruto!"
Whilst Naruto admitted Kakashi had been a dick with Iruka he wasn't exactly a bad person, sure he read way too much porn and could be seriously big headed at times, but underneath it all Kakashi actually had a caring, kind and loving side that rarely anyone except Naruto and his teammates or Iruka had seen.
Sighing and admitting defeat Naruto guessed he could see where Sasuke was coming from but what he didn't get was why Sasuke was bothered so much. "Okay, Okay maybe Kakashi does deserve a second chance but why do you care so much? If I can remember you were never all that keen on him anyway!"
This was true there were a few reasons why Sasuke hadn't liked Kakashi when he was younger, the fact that the man could never ever be on time if his life depended on it! The fact he thought he knew everything about the Sharingan when it was never his to start with, merely a gift from an Uchiha after he had lost his eye. However Sasuke had grew up and whilst his opinions of the man had altered it wasn't by much
"Trust me Naruto this by all means isn't for Kakashi's sake but Iruka's! He's a good man with a kind heart and he doesn't deserve to have the one time he's ever found love ripped away from him!" Naruto was almost in shock, he was unaware that Sasuke could be so kind, well not when it came to Naruto but when it came to others, he could be a little harsh, direct and uncaring to say the least.
"Okay Sasuke-Kun, I didn't know you could be so caring about others!" Naruto smiled
"I'm not" Sasuke smirked, "I'm only caring towards you as I love you! The only reason I'm getting involved is because Iruka doesn't deserve this and I'll never see the back of Kakashi if he's constantly cooped up inside reading porn!"
"Haha okay if you say so teme!" Naruto didn't really buy any of his reasons and wondered briefly if Sasuke was going soft now that he was in love, however the glare he received quickly wiped all thoughts from his mind.
"Don't get any ideas dobe, just because I'm nice around you don't expect me to start being all nice around Sakura and Ino!" Sasuke was clearly annoyed just at the mention of their names, well at Sakura's anyway, Ino wasn't so bad in Sasuke's opinion, she was just about tolerable and had her uses he supposed.
"Okay teme, I got it!" Naruto smirked loving how easily Sasuke could get wound up over the simplest of things or mention of a name, to be honest it was kinda cute when the look he pulled when he was sulking or throwing a tantrum, just another of the things that Naruto loved about Sasuke.
Naruto was snapped from his daydreaming of why he loved the teme then none of than his voice came asking his opinion on something,
"W-What Sasuke?" Naruto asked trying his best to look like he had been paying attention as to what Sasuke had been saying.
"I said do you think I should wear another jumper or this shirt!" Sasuke said his voice strained with slight annoyance whilst pointing at a navy blue button up, silk shirt. The shirt was of good quality and seemed to suit Sasuke's style
"Erm whichever you prefer Sasuke, they'd both look nice on you but it's you're decision!" Naruto said flashing him his sweetest smile.
"Well I'm not fussed but I'm asking your opinion as I want to make sure you think I look okay!"
"You're asking for my opinion?" Naruto asked sounding a little dumbfounded
"Hmm good point why am I asking the boy who's practically spent his life in bright orange tracksuits?"
"Shut up bastard, I didn't always wear bright orange I wore an orange and black one once!" Naruto frowned a little pissed at Sasuke mocking his taste in fashion
"Of course my mistake, you once looked like a burnt orange!" Sasuke remarked sarcastically and smirking at his dobe "I'm asking your opinion because your my boyfriend you idiot and believe it or not you're opinion actually counts and matters to me!"
Naruto was truly a little surprised that Sasuke was actually asking for his advice especially after saying he looked like a meteorite, however he was more than a little touched that Sasuke said his opinion mattered, Naruto smiled before finally deciding to offer his opinion "Thank you teme, you're opinion matters to me, but if you want my honest opinion?" Naruto asked moving towards the wardrobe and riffling through before finally finding something suitable as he produced a black shirt and bright blue jacket bearing the Uchiha Fan symbol on the arms and back "Then I think you should wear this, a little bit of bright colour wouldn't kill you plus it contrasts against the black, a pretty cool combination in my opinion!" Naruto stood smiling proudly holding out the items of clothing.
"So… You're saying colours clashing would look good on me?" Sasuke asked a little in disbelief before taking a look at the hoodie, all he could think was how bright it was although it did match the dobe's eyes it was a little too in your face for him and also that it was too casual for a night of remembrance of sorts.
How can I put this without hurting his feelings that it looks like I've thrown up the sky? "Naruto, I er… like it it's just… a little too bright especially considering I'm quite fair skinned and a little too casual for a night of remembrance don't you think?" Sasuke said offering a smile hoping he hadn't Naruto's feelings too much, after all he had tried to put it politely.
However Naruto's pride and smile seemed none the worse as he just looked at Sasuke was crazy, "Sasuke we're setting off lanterns not attending a memorial service, as for the hoodie I didn't choose it just for the colour, I thought it would be a nice way of showing you're remembrance of your clan and family as it has the clan's symbol on!" Naruto offered sending him a shy smile again.
Sasuke hadn't even thought of it that way, maybe he was being a little too snobbish when it came to his clothing, but as for the remembrance idea he found it quite sweet and profound for the dobe to say the least. "I hadn't thought of it that way!" Sasuke said smiling warmly at Naruto, "I'll wear it just for tonight but after that I'm getting it dyed darker!"
"Okay fine, fine but a little bit of colour besides blue, black, grey or white wouldn't kill you know!" Naruto teased before sticking his tongue out
"Oh bite me!" Sasuke said rolling his eyes and frowning before reluctantly putting the shirt and hoodie on however he found the hoodie to be a little small and looked practically glued to his body showing off his toned stomach and chest. "It's a little small!" Sasuke complained.
However the only response he got was Naruto pulling him into a kiss with his tongue tracing Sasuke's lips, sighing Sasuke found his lips moved of their own accord and granting him immediate access and unlimited exploration of his mouth.
Sasuke eventually grew tired of the tonguing and let his tongue fight for dominance with Naruto's before finding it was bitten ever so slightly.
Jumping a little from the kiss Naruto simply grinned before grabbing hold of Sasuke's firm arse before snaking around his front to fondle Sasuke's manhood.
Sasuke simply smirked in response and found his hands moved of their own accord as one moved through Naruto's silky, golden coloured hair whilst the other stroked his whiskered cheeks earning a purr of approval from the blonde.
Quickly realising what he had been doing he drew his hand away earning a slight moan of disapproval from Naruto, "Aww what'd you stop for teme? That felt nice!" Naruto said frowning at him.
"Sorry it's just I've always wanted to feel your whisker marks but I thought you'd find it rude so I always restrained myself!" Sasuke said looking away slightly, embarrassed at the fact Naruto had caught him.
"You don't have to apologise Sasuke, it feels great!" Naruto said smiling before running a finger along the Uchiha's chin before whispering "And it's where I'm most sensitive, it really turns me on!" Naruto smirked and winked at a now blushing Uchiha before popping a quick kiss on his lips. "So you ready teme?"
"Sure but first let's go pick up you're present" Sasuke smirked before hooking his hand with Naruto's and heading for the Jewellers.
…
As Sasuke and Naruto walked through Konoha he didn't notice the looks he got, whilst some people simply whispered and pointed at the two holding hands, others scowled and openly voiced their disapproval of the couple. Sasuke simply glared at them sending daggers to anyone who dared remark about them. "I swear if one more shallow, narrow minded person makes another snide, homophobic remark I'll personally rip their throats out!" Sasuke fumed, he was proud of who he was and that included the fact he was gay, but if anyone dared make a hurtful remark based on his sexuality they would feel his wrath.
"Sasuke calm down please baby and just ignore them, we don't have to listen to shallow, close minded people.
"Hn!" was the only response Naruto received as he looked ready to murder the next person who crossed their paths.
As they approached the Jeweller's one remark too many was made by a market stall trader closing up for the day, "Can you believe the hidden leaf village has been reduced to depending on a filthy traitor, and a jinchuriki for protection who on top of that are faggots, it makes you sick!" the man spat.
Sasuke hearing the remark stopped walking and stood dead on the spot before turning to face the man, his blood was well and truly boiling, he could handle them making remarks about him, but to call Naruto for being a Jinchuriki and gay! Sasuke wouldn't let anyone say anything about his precious dobe. "Say what you like about me!" But this Jinchuriki and faggot is the reason you're still alive and able to spout your filth, the reason you can come and open your fucking shitty stall and sell your manky out of date fruit! This man is the reason you're not a mindless slave of Madara Uchiha!" Sasuke screamed, cracking his knuckles as he approached the man who now was cowering in fear at the sight of an enraged Sasuke.
As Sasuke moved to break the man's neck he found a tanned hand blocking his way belonging to a man with light brown, shoulder length hair covered by a blue hat, he was wearing the standard uniform of a Jounin and chewing upon a needle in his mouth. Enraged further at the fact this man had stopped him Sasuke briefly recognised him from the Chunnin finals, Genma was it? He recalled.
"That's enough Sasuke I'll deal with this!" Genma said turning his attention the stall owner "And as for you, spout your horrible, homophobic opinions elsewhere, did they do anything to provoke you? No! They were just happily walking down the street holding hand expressing their love for each other? Now tell me is that a crime hmm, for people to express their love?" Genma demanded.
"N-No S-Sir not at all!" The man trembled barely able to get his word out.
"No you're Damgh right it's not! But you know what is, Hate crime which is what you were doing was! Guards take him to see Lady Tsunade, I'm sure the Hokage will be thrilled how homophobic this market trader is!"
"N-No, P-Please not the Hokage, S-She'll bar me from the market!"
"Then consider yourself lucky if she does, she may throw you out of Konoha!" Genma barked as the crying man was grabbed and dragged away by two ANBU guards who had watched everything from the rooftops.
"Honestly, some people have some nerve to insult the saviour of our village, and over who he chooses to have a relationship with as well!" Genma ranted to himself, "Are you guys okay?" Genma asked sounding genuinely concerned.
"We're fine i think thanks Genma Sensei!" Naruto said smiling politely.
"He's lucky you intervened when you did, I'd have snapped his neck otherwise!" Sasuke raged, gripping his hands so tightly his knuckles had turned white.
"I'm sorry you guys had to be subjected to that, don't worry I'll see to it myself personally that he never sets foot here again let alone sell his fruit! Honestly, nobody has the right to judge anyone over who they choose to love! If two men wish to hold hands in the street they can and should be able to without people coming out with foul remarks like that!" Genma spat.
Naruto was shocked to see the Jounin so angry, he normally seemed quite composed, laidback and relaxed so to see him flip like that was a huge surprise to him.
"Thanks Genma Sensei, it's nice to know at least someone is accepting of us!" Naruto smiled
"Accepting?" Genma questioned "I'm more than accepting of gay people, who do you think convinced Iruka to give Kakashi a chance? I did!" Genma stated quite proudly and a little outraged that someone would think of him as judgemental.
"No Genma Sensei I didn't mean it like…"
"It's alright kid I'm just messing with ya! But where are you two headed?" Genma questioned.
"What's it got to do with you?!" Sasuke snapped, clearly still a little pissed.
"Sorry about him he's a little cranky at time!" Naruto smiled apologetically, "We were headed to the jewellers!"
"Hmm I think I'll accompany you two, just in case anyone else tries coming out with another nasty remark or worse!"
"Hn! I'm quite capable of looking after the two of us if anyone tries anything!" Sasuke snapped again, clearly insulted at the insinuation he couldn't defend himself or his boyfriend. He may have had his Chakra all but removed and Sharingan useless to him, but he was still a Ninja with considerable skills in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
"Sasuke what is your problem?! You should be thanking Genma Sensei! If he'd have let you snap the man's neck you'd probably be in jail or dead now! Do you honestly think I want that to happen to the man I love?!" Naruto said his voice a mixture of annoyance and sadness.
Sasuke's glare softened a little at Naruto's words, "I'm sorry but if anyone dares insult me or my boyfriend I will defend us, whether it's verbally or physically!" Sasuke said still glaring a little until Naruto pulled him into a hug and placed a gentle kiss on the sulking Uchiha's lips who pulled him in closer so he could kiss him back. He loved the feel of Naruto's lips against his own, so soft and smooth and behind them, a warm inviting opening that always tasted of ramen and cinnamon.
Sasuke for once was the one groaning as Naruto pulled away first for once, leaving a clearly miffed Uchiha.
"I was enjoying that dobe!" Sasuke said frowning and looking a little hurt
"Sasuke I'm sure Genma doesn't want to watch us snog each other's face of all day!" Naruto said smiling apologetically.
"Hn! You better make it upto me then later dobe!" Sasuke said smirking.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted blushing bright red with embarrassment.
"Oh by all means don't stop on account of me guys, it's actually kinda cute!" Genma smiled.
"Urghh another pervert then!" Sasuke said teasingly "Come on let's just get to the shop before they shut already!" Sasuke said smiling a little at Naruto.
…
As the trio neared the Jewellers Sasuke suddenly stopped before tapping Naruto gently on the shoulder who had been happily chatting away to Genma about the night's planned events.
"Hmm, what is it Sasuke?" Naruto asked smiling innocently.
"Wait here with Genma dobe, I'm gonna go and collect you're present!"
"Aww can't I come with you Sasuke?" Naruto said whining a little.
"Naruto it's clearly a surprise what Sasuke has got you, it would be ruined if you went him!"
"See at least someone understands!" Sasuke teased smirking at the fox.
"Fine!" Naruto huffed, sticking his arms out like a small child.
"It'll be worth it dobe I promise!" Sasuke smiled before running on a little to the Jewellers.
When he first stepped in it was deadly quiet and nobody out front, Sasuke wondered for a moment if the woman had nipped out somewhere. "Hello? Hello is anyone here!"
"In the back!" The woman said her voice coming from the backroom.
Stepping through Sasuke saw the woman bent over slightly focusing intently and looked to be adding a few finishing touches.
Turning round she looked a little uneasy and rather nervous for some reason, Oh great I bet she's not been able to make it in time! "Is everything okay?" Sasuke asked trying to remain calm.
"Y-Yes everything's fine!" The woman said a little too nervously for Sasuke's liking.
"Is the necklace ready?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes sir! The woman said bending down to pick up two small velvet boxes with one being orange and the over a navy blue.
Sasuke looked at the woman a little confused, why are there two boxes? I knew something was wrong! He thought to himself before finally plucking up the courage to ask, "Why are there two boxes? Shouldn't there only be one?" Sasuke asked trying his best not to seem angry.
"Oh about that!" the woman said deliberately avoiding eye contact and looking at the floor, "During the design process an idea came to me, the idea of Yin and Yang is like you said is that it is not complete without the other half, the same concept can be applied to couple's, so it occurred to me, why not half the pendant in two half's! See they join together to make the symbol, but the reason why there separate is that you can both wear one half, like for example if one of you were sent on a mission, they would take your half of the pendant so they never forget you and it feels like they're with you even though they're not but when you are together it would always be as one, you could take turns when it comes to wearing it, I hope you are not angry sir!"
Sasuke was beyond speechless as he finished listening to what the woman had just said, finally he spoke, "Truly you are a genius when it comes to the design of jewellery, this is so much better than the original design I had in mind, this is perfect. Truly it is beautiful! Thank you!"
Sasuke honestly thought it was better than he could have honestly asked for, the idea behind the design of the pendant very romantic and the meaning of the necklace represented himself and Naruto perfectly in his eyes No matter if they were separated he would always be with Naruto even if not physically, how in his heart Naruto completed him and was not truly Sasuke without him. The pendant itself was clearly of a superb finish and craftsmanship with the shape being perfect and the gemstones of a very high quality and clarity with each being respectively a bright orange and deep navy almost midnight blue
"How much do I owe you?" Sasuke managed to get out still in awe of its beauty.
"Well considering you already gave me a 1000 ryo we'll call it 2'500 please?"
"Not a problem, Sasuke said reaching into his pocket and handing over a small sack of gold coins.
"Thank you sir, I hope your boyfriend likes it!" The woman smiled.
"I hope so too, enjoy the festival and thank you!" Sasuke said giving her a small smile before heading to give Naruto his present, he couldn't wait and if he wasn't an Uchiha he would have done an Ino squeal of delight, instead he settled for the largest and most genuine smile ever to grace the Uchiha's face, for once he looked happy and deep down he knew he was too.
Hey guys now admittedly this wasn't my best chapter I know I'm sorry but I've been having some problems at home with my mum and kinda felt shitty the past two days. This was due on the 3rd I know I'm sorry it's late, but I just couldn't for the life of me finish it last night, it also dragged on a little as we were meant to see Naruto let the lanterns off in this chapter. As for Kakairu's relationship problems, I dunno it just didn't seem to fit the chapter. But rest assured all of which will be dealt with in chapter 8 I promise, anywho please read and review I love you all as always, please forgive me,
Asking for your forgiveness
Muge Xx
