AN: Sorry it took so long. I hope I make it up to you because this one is extra long..

"Deidara be careful!" she warned the blonde streak running across the yard. Her own blonde locks cascading down her back, framing her beautiful face and emphasizing her striking blue orbs.

"I will nee-chan!" the boy waved at her as he ran to catch up to a red haired boy.

"Need any help?" her fiance's deep baritone made her jump slightly.

"No I'm fine 'Tachi," she waved dismissively at him as she set the table once more.

"Naru."

"Not now 'Tachi, everything needs to be perfect."

"Naru."

"I can't mess up today."

"Naru."

"It's very important for both you and I that everything~" she was spun quickly, arms enclosing her trapping her against the lean warm body of her fiance as he claimed her lips within his. Her response was reflexive as she flung both arms around his neck to run her hands through his hair and pull him closer to her.

"Can I talk to you now?" his smirk was smug as onyx clashed with sapphire. His smirk grew wider at the flush on her cheeks, the slightly dazed look she sported and the non=committal grunt he received in response. "Stop fussing. Nothing wrong will happen today because you have prepared everything so beautifully. My parents will love you and even if they don't, which I doubt will be the case, I will be there to stand by you the whole time."

"Sorry 'Tachi," she muttered in defeat, closing her eyes to keep from looking at the smoulder in those dark orbs of his. "I just~" he stopped her once more with another kiss.

"Everything's fine," he reminded her. "Sasuke and Ino are on their way right now, Gaara is here to support you, your siblings are around and Shikamaru is coming as well. We're all here for you."

"Thank you." she leant her head against his chest and breathed deeply to calm her racing pulse.

"I love you." he said it because there was no other word that would comfort her as those three words would.

"Love you too 'Tachi."

"Now why don't you go get ready, they'll be here soon."

"But I~"

"Go Naru," he told her. "I will stay here to wait for them. And no, it doesn't matter if you're here when they arrive."

"Fine," she said. "I need to check on Kaze-chan anyway."

"Take your time." her smile was bright as she turned away from her supportive soon=to-be husband.

Itachi turned at the squealing of tires, eyebrows raising as his brother and Sasuke's fiancee stumbled out of the car , both adults barely catching themselves before they ran toward him.

"Itachi, I'm so sorry," Sasuke gasped out as he stood in a somewhat dignified stance in front of the elder Uchiha.

"What 's wrong?"

"I tried stopping them."

"Sasuke,"

"But they wouldn't listen to me."

"Sasuke."

"I really tried."

"Sasuke!" twin voices chorused stopping the short haired man in mid-sentence. He stared at his blonde fiancee who had her hands on her hips as she stared at him with an eyebrow raised, his brother in a similar position.

"Are you calm now?" Itachi said in his deep and bored monotone.

"Yeah sorry."

"Now what was it you were trying to tell me?"

"Kaa-chan and tou-chan are on their way here."

"I already knew that."

"They invited Shisui over."

"Oh."

"Well, Kaa-chan invited them over." Sasuke continued. "According to her since you have your own fiancee now you should mend fences with them, especially Kasumi."

"How long until they get here?"

"They were right behind us but I gunned it as soon as we got to the expressway and I just know tou=chan is trying to buy you some time."

"There's no need for that," Itachi assured him. "I have no plans of letting her get to me, not when I have Naru by my side."

"Itachi, don't do that." Sasuke's voice was soft but both Ino and Itachi heard him quite clearly. "Don't close yourself off."

"I'm sorry," he finally admitted after a pregnant moment of silence.

"We're here to support you." Ino said as she embraced him, the normally stoic man relaxing to the touch.

"Pull yourself together," Sasuke put a hand on his shoulder. "They'll be here soon. Why don't you go upstairs, talk to Naru to calm yourself and we'll call you both when they get here."

"I can't~"

"We'll watch the kids." Ino said as she turned him round to face the door. "Go." Itachi nodded gratefully and then stepped inside.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

Naru watched her child sleep. She had just finished her shower, thankful that Itachi had forced her upstairs to get ready. Sighing softly, she picked up the small boy and smiled at him when crystal blue eyes fluttered open to meet similarly cerulean orbs.

"We're going to meet your tou-chan's tou-chan and kaa-chan," she told him laughing softly at the toothless smile he said. "They're your baa-chan and jii-chan." the soft click of the door broke her gaze away from her baby and she looked up only to meet her fiance's panicked gaze. "What's wrong 'Tachi?"

"She's coming." he closed his eyes, ashamed that he felt so vulnerable.

"Who's coming?" she rose from the bed as she asked though she had a vague idea of who he was talking about.

"My ex."

"Which ex?" she stood in front of him, Kaze still in her arms.

"Kasumi."

"Who is she?"

"She's the..."

"Itachi you need to talk about it. You haven't told me."

"I..."

"'Tachi do you trust me?"

"Of course I do!" he glared at her but she could see past the angry exterior, the confusion in his onyx orbs so clear to her cerulean ones.

"Then why don't you want to tell me?"

"It's not that, it's just that I..." he sighed, running a hand through his hair as he did.

"Do you trust me?" she led him back to the bed.

"Yes," he captured her gaze, waiting for the accusation within her sapphire orbs but he could only see the love and understanding in her eyes.

"Do you want to be with me?"

"Yes,"

"Do you love me?" his eyes widened but he answered without hesitation.

"How can you even ask me that?"

"Do you love me?" she repeated the question ignoring his protest.

"You know I do."

"I love you too 'Tachi. I want to be with you. I trust you and I want to know everything about you."

"But~"

"'Tachi, please I want to know."

"I, alright," he crumbled under the imploring gaze of his soon-to=be-wife. "I loved her." he saw the flash of hurt in her orbs but he continued after she smiled in encouragement.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

"Tou-chan, I trust the journey was well?" Sasuke addressed his father as soon as the Uchiha couple had emerged from their vehicle.

"It was sufficient." the patriarch said with a curt nod.

"Where are they?" Mikoto gushed.

"They're getting ready Miko-kaachan," Ino said as she captured the older woman's hand in hers.

"Then we'll simply have to wait for them." Mikoto nodded as she was led to a lawn chair and assisted to sit down.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get Minato-san and Kushina-san. They are currently in the kitchen preparing some of our lunch." Sasuke bowed then went inside the house.

"So where is he?" Ino narrowed her eyes at the speaker obviously disapproving towards the off handed way she asked her question.

"He's with his fiancee in their rooms getting ready." the blonde relished in the other woman's furious gaze but it was quickly covered up and the dark haired woman sneered at her.

"I hope they're just getting ready." she turned away from Ino and marched inside the house without any kind of invitation leaving an angry blonde in her wake.

"Miko-kaachan I don't understand why you wanted to invite her here."

"I wanted them both to come to terms with what had happened but it seems I was wrong in my assumption that they could forgive one another."

"I just hope she doesn't ruin this day for either Itachi or Naru."

"Shisui, do you need any help?" the two women looked up to find Itachi striding over his older cousin and offering his assistance in getting the twin eight month old boys from the carseats.

"Itachi~"

"We can talk later, for now we should get inside," Itachi interrupted as he reached inside to get one baby boy out of the car.

"If Itachi-kun's here then Naru-chan is already downstairs as well."

"We should go inside to prevent any fights from happening. " Fugaku, who had been quietly watching what had been happening, finally spoke up.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

"I don't understand why 'Koto-chan wanted to invite her." the whisper was supposed to be quiet but it sounded more of a hiss than anything.

"She just wanted peace between all parties involved," he tried to soothe her but the redheaded woman was not to be deterred.

"She's too optimistic for her own good." Kushina muttered. "I only needed to see her once to know that she's too spiteful to even consider repairing their relationship."

"They're too emotional." Minato scoffed but quieted after a glare from his wife.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

Cerulean orbs followed the way the dark haired woman moved. They gazed upon the slim form, despite the pregnancy she had gone through not even a year before, and caught the way her expression changed from disdain, spite, anger and jealousy as she looked at the pictures displayed around the living room. She watched as manicured fingers traced the titles of the movies on the shelf and then the carefully trimmed toenails glisten their pink color as her heels clacked against the wooden floor while she crossed over to the bookshelf. Looking at her, Naru couldn't help but wonder how Itachi had ever fallen for her but she settled her own disputes by thinking that it was her, Naru, whom he loved now. That was all that mattered.

"You must be Kasumi," she said with a gentle smile on her face, watching with great amusement as the other woman dropped the book she had been holding by her nails.

"Who are you?" Naru grinned at the accusation in her tone as she stepped towards the couch and settled herself carefully so as not to jostle the sleeping babe in her arms.

"I'm the daughter of this house's owners," she smiled still at the look of outrage in her supposed to be guest's face. "And this is my son Kaze-chan," she turned her smile upon the child's sleeping visage, her lips curving softly at the peaceful sight.

"I knew you were a slut." the voice dripped with accusation but Naru ignored the personal jab.

"He's only two weeks old you know," instead she continued to talk. "I am so happy 'Tachi-kun was already here when I got him."

"What are you talking about?"

"I had been waiting for him for quite some time and it was just lucky that he came home when he did."

"You're lying." Naru looked up into furious hazel orbs.

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" she suggested as she rose from her seat. "Maybe you can talk to him after lunch." she told Kasumi before sweeping out of the room and meeting the amused onyx eyes of her fiance who stood leaning against the hallway's wall as he eavesdropped. "I didn't say anything that wasn't true," she said at his raised eyebrow then walked past him and into the kitchen. "Need any help kaa-chan?" Itachi shook his head but followed her anyway. He understood fully why she needed to lay her claim upon him and he could only smile at the thought. Forgetting about his fuming ex in the other room, he followed his soon-to-be-wife into the kitchen where everyone else was already waiting.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

"Kasumi I assume?" she was accosted by a blonde man as soon as her hunger had gotten the better of her and she had decided to get into the kitchen. She nodded meekly as she stared into the crystal blue eyes that she could just get lost into.

"Why don't you join us?" the question was inquired by a redheaded woman with gentle jade orbs. She couldn't say anything as she was led to a chair next to her husband, who had been busy feeding their sons, by the same blonde man.

"Aren't you hungry yet Sumi-chan?" her husband's deep baritone startled her with its intensity and for the life of her she couldn't remember what had made her so angry. With a curt nod she began to take food and pile them onto her plate ignoring everyone around her but listening to their talks.

"I didn't know you could cook," she heard Itachi speak softly to Naru who grinned widely at the praise.

"It's just one of the many talents you have yet to see," her eyelids fluttered coyly as a pink hue rose to her cheeks.

"I do intend on discovering all of them," the room was lost to the couple as their gazes caught and Kasumi felt something constrict in her chest at the sight.

"Just how many of those talents have you discovered Itachi?" she turned her attention to the other end of the table where the most out of place Uchiha sat with a woman whom she supposed was his girlfriend.

"Enough to know that I love her with eveything that I am." Itachi's answer was quick and without hesitation and she couldn't help but think that Itachi had always been smooth with his words.

"Naru?" her attention was once more caught by the blonde man who had then stared at his daughter with raised eyebrows but she detected the slight scandalised tone in his voice as he continued to look at the blushing blonde sitting next to Itachi. "You didn't?" he asked and yet the accusation was there in his voice and Kasumi could hear the snortle of laughter that Obito had been trying to suppress.

"Of course not!" Naru protested though she blushed harder.

"But..." Minato tried to encourage her to talk but she deflected his questions.

"I hardly think this is the type of talk we should be having at the dining table especially with guests around."

"Don't worry about it Naru-chan, we're all family here so we will understand." the laughter in the odd Uchiha's voice was evident especially with the shaking of his shoulders as he spoke.

"Of course we are Obito-kun, which is exactly why I wouldn't mind sharing a little tidbit of information that I'm sure everyone is just so eager to find out."

"And what would this information be Naru-san," this time it was the Uchiha patriarch who reacted at the banter.

"Please Fugaku-touchan, there's no need for formalities," Naru waved a hand in the air in dismissal. "After all we are family as Obito-kun has so succinctly pointed out."

"Indeed. Let me correct myself then, what is it that Obito is hiding from us Naru-chan?" turning away from his nephew who was gaping beside his girlfriend.

"Well~"

"I get it Naru-chan!" Obito suddenly announced from the other end of the rather large table. "No more talking about... things that shouldn't be spoken of."

"But I really think they should know Obito-kun," she batted her eyelashes at him receiving a growl in return and leading their audience to explode in loud laughter, giggles and chuckles; all but Kasumi. She still didn't know what to think of Itachi's new beau.

"Eat Naru," Itachi held out a morsel of food stuck on a fork to his fiancee who had been busy laughing jovially, only then did Kasumi notice that the couple was sharing a plate and Naru still held Kaze in his arms. She turned to her side to find that her own husband was busy feeding their sons, his plate still full with barely touched food. Wondering briefly why she had been ignoring her boys she sighed, put her fork down and spoke to her husband for the first time that day.

"Shisui, you have to eat as well," she caught his attention her husband looking up in surprise, spoon suspended in mid-air as he stared at her in shock.

"I just have to finish feeding them." he said after some time of hesitation.

"I'll do it," she held her hand out for the spoon he was holding. "I'm full anyway. Eat, you must be tired and hungry after the long drive."

"A-are you sure?" Shisui had a look of amazement in his eyes.

"Yes, now give me the spoon and feed yourself." Kasumi rolled her eyes at his reaction. She hadn't always ignored them, had she? Ignoring everyone else in the room, she settled on feeding her babies watching from her peripherals everything that was happening around them.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

"Where are the kids?" Naru asked Itachi before he could put another spoonful into her mouth.

"They're outside with Gaara and Shikamaru." he said as he fed her another bite. "Shikamaru said it would be better for the children to be outside rather than here with us because of all the adult talk that would be going around."

"What adult talk?" he could see the confusion in her sapphire gaze but they were interrupted by Fugaku's voice as he spoke to them all.

"Itachi I would like to clarify that you both know what your responsibilities are?"

"Of course father," Itachi settled his hand on one of Naru's, the one not holding their son.

"Did you tell her about the contract?"

"No, it was her own father who told her." Itachi shook his head and then leveled his gaze with that of his father's. "I did everything by the rules stated within the bounds of the contract."

"It's true Fugaku, it was I who revealed the Uchiha-Namikaze engagement to my daughter as I had wanted to know how far they would go for each other. After she told me that she already knew, especially of that one major clause in our agreement, I knew she would do anything to keep him out of trouble."

"How did you know I was lying tou-chan?"

"You said Itachi told you about your engagement but I knew that as an Uchiha, he would still follow the rules, everything by the book and to the last letter." Minato looked straight into his daughter's eyes. "Most of the time I don't know if you're lying or not but that time I knew only because I was the one to write the document."

"Why wasn't he allowed to tell me then?"

"It was stated within the contract that I would not reveal anything toward my chosen fiancee until she turned twenty and you're only eighteen."

"Does that matter?" Naru asked her future husband. "the gap between our ages?"

"No it doesn't Naru," he could see the doubt clearly in those cerulean orbs and he hated how they were both put on the spot by their parents. "It doesn't matter to me because I love you." his declaration was met with a small grin. "I knew about our engagement since I was fifteen, granted I didn't know I was supposed to be married to you but I didn't fall in love with you because of a piece of paper our fathers had signed. For three years your best friend and my cousin had been stringing me along with stories and pictures of you, although he didn't do it on purpose. He was so fascinated by you and that in turn encouraged me to know more about you, Naru Uzumaki-Namikaze. The whole person and not just the name written on some signed document."

"'Tachi do you think we could..." the rest of the party didn't hear what was said but they did see the way Itachi's eyes widened and his breath hitch as he stared at Naru in shock.

"I could never deny you anything love," he declared. "You know that but I want to know if you're sure about this."

"Of course." she said. "I made a promise to tou-chan and I think it's about time I fulfilled that promise."

"What about Kaze-chan?"

"He's a part of us now isn't he?"

"Yes he is," he pulled her closer against him, their position slightly awkward due to the small boy in her arms, and kissed her forehead. "Anything, I'll do anything for you."

"What are you two talking about?" Ino asked bewildered at the strange attitude of the one she considered a sister.

"Nothing you need to know about." Naru said but then she had to suppress a yawn as she spoke.

"I told you to go to bed early last night," Itachi's chiding was gentle as he took Kaze from her arms.

"I couldn't really with you doing..." her voice was muffled as she covered her mouth with a hand. "and then Kaze-chan woke up in the middle of the night hungry." she yawned once more and leaned her upper body against Itachi's chest, her head resting on his shoulder.

"Come on love, let's go upstairs so you can have a nap."

"I don't want to," she lifted a hand to her mouth as it began to open in another sleepy yawn. "We have guests."

"I'll take care of them after I get you into bed," he got her out of the chair with Kaze still in his arms and guided her out of the room ignoring the curious expressions on their family's faces as he towed her to their bedroom.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

"Why is she always tired?" the blonde woman was waiting for him as he descended down the stairs, his long hair swishing behind him as he did. "The last time we were here she actually fell asleep on me."

"She's nursing Kaze-chan, of course she'll be tired." he refused to go into it more than he did especially with the others around.

"But he's~"

"Ino-chan, stop badgering aniki," Sasuke finally intervened, exiting the kitchen with two glasses in his hands and handed one to his fiancee. "Naru-chan will tell you anything you want to know so you'll simply have to wait for her to wake up."

"But 'Suke," her eyes were wide, her lips pursed in a pout that had the youngest Uchiha turning away from her. "I just wanna know." she whined.

"And you'll find out soon but not before either one of them are ready to tell you."

"Fine, you're no fun anyway." she walked past him and out of the house, ignoring the raised eyebrow that seemed to come with the Uchiha genes.

"Defeated by a pout otouto?" Itachi couldn't resist, he just had to say something to his younger brother.

"Please, as if you're any better," Sasuke began to walk outside where the rest of the family had already settled themselves. "Just wait until Naru figures out your greatest weakness and uses it against you."

"What about the dishes?" Itachi asked as he walked right behind him. He didn't bother to tell Sasuke that Naru already knew his weakness.

"Rin-san and Kushina-chan along with kaa-chan already did them." they stepped outside together, into the backyard where a long table had been set out under two large sakura trees that were in bloom.

"Minato-tou, you can't do that." they watched as Ino made to grab something from the Namikaze patriarch, as they looked closely they noticed that it was a piece from the shogi board.

"Now now Ino-chan, you know that was a legal move." the blonde man grinned widely at Ino, ignoring the pout on those full lips.

"I haven't played this game in so long tou-chan."

"Of course Ino-chan, there wouldn't be any reason for you to lose besides that." the tone was mocking and yet not hurtful. "I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that you can't strategize to save your life."

"It's not my fault I'm not as smart as lazy ass over there." she pointed towards the brunet who was sitting with his back against the large trunk with a redhead on his lap.

"Don't get me involved in anything you troublesome blonde."

"I didn't know you knew Shikamaru, Ino=chan," Itachi commented when they finally neared their family.

"Well we do know each other though not as close as he is with Naru-chan."

"I had been wondering," Itachi continued as he sat next to her. "Why do you call Minato-tousan as your father?"

"My parents died in a car accident when I was ten." Ino shrugged when he tried to apologize. "Minato-tou adopted me and I grew up in this family. I chose not to go with them when they left for Oto and it was the best decision I had ever made because then I wouldn't have met Suke-kun."

"So I assume you knew Temari-chan as well?"

"We were called the Triple Blonde Threat up until Naru-chan left~"

"And for a really good reason too." Minato exclaimed from across them until Itachi made a move that kept him silent as he thought of a counter. Itachi turned to Ino in question.

"It's just that no boys could ever come between us." Ino said. Itachi nodded and then looked around. He noticed Shisui sitting on the grass with the two cradles holding his nephews beside him.

"Where's Kasumi?"

"She's inside," Sasuke answered him.

"I'm going to talk to Shisui," he moved another piece on the board. "It seems like you win Ino-chan."

"Thank you Ita-kun," she kissed his cheek then ushered him away. "Now go talk to your wayward cousin."

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

"Why aren't you outside with the rest?"

"I thought you were supposed to be taking a nap."

"I did," the blonde sat down in front of the dark haired woman sitting on their couch. "It's been half an hour already."

"How come you're so tired?"

"It's because I'm taking care of my son," Naru said.

"How dare you?" narrowed hazel eyes were directed at her but she met it with unflinching cerulean orbs.

"Shisui's so tired or haven't you noticed that?"

"Of course I know he's tired!" Kasumi yelled. "He's my husband!"

"Then why aren't you doing anything to help him?" she was calm as she asked.

"It's his own fault." she hissed. "If he didn't get me pregnant then we wouldn't even be in this situation."

"Did he rape you?"

"What?" Kasumi seemed scandalised. "No, of course not!"

"Did he force you?" it was the same question but she asked anyway.

"No one can force me to do anything." Kasumi growled out, seconds away from launching herself at the calm blonde in front of her.

"If that's true then there's no way he coerced you into sleeping with him." Naru leaned back against the chair, her eyes flicking to the baby monitor she had lain on the coffee table.

"He wouldn't do that to me."

"Kasumi, what are you really doing here?"

"Itachi's mother invited us over."

"That's true but I know you're uncomfortable being here, proven by the fact that you're hiding in my living room. I know you could've declined and yet you came. Why?"

"That's none of your business."

"Itachi's my fiance, if you want something with him then it definitely is my business."

"Don't talk as if you're the only one who's ever gotten into that situation."

"Oh, so he proposed to you then?" Naru asked though she didn't have to. Obito had already told her what happened and Itachi confessed everything as well.

"No but he was going to..." Kasumi stopped short when she realized what exactly happened that night when Itachi was supposed to be proposing to her.

"Why did you sleep with Shisui?"

"I..."

"Why didn't you just break up with Itachi when he got control of the company?"

"Because... I..."

"Did you want to hurt him?"

"N-no... I..."

"Then why didn't you say anything once he got too busy to pay attention to you?"

"Because..."

"Did you even love him?"

"I loved Itachi!" Kasumi rose to stand threateningly over Naru. "I did love him." she seemed to fold into herself when she realized what she had said. "But I fell for Shisui when I first met him." she didn't know why she telling her supposed-to=be-rival this but she continued to talk anyway. "With Itachi there was always something missing." she confessed. "It was strange that Shisui had the something that Itachi didn't. At first I was in denial because I didn't want to hurt Itachi. I tried to ignore what I felt with Shisui … they were cousins and I didn't want to come between them."

"What happened?"

"I know what Obito must've said to you. He's always resented me for what I did to both Shisui and Itachi, they'd been best friends until I came into their lives. The fact is, I never even slept with Itachi, it was Shisui and only him. He was my first, my last and my only."

"What about Itachi?"

"I realized that what I felt for him wasn't even near my feelings for my husband and I began to draw away from him. When he got the company I made excuses for myself, reasons why I had to see Shisui and I blamed Itachi. I told myself that it was his own fault because he didn't pay enough attention to me, that he should've thought twice before taking on such a big responsibility."

"What now?"

"I hated myself for hurting both of them, especially Itachi because of everything we'd been through so I shut myself off. I didn't allow myself to feel anything because then I'd have to admit that it was my fault. That I did it because I was selfish."

"Why are you really here Kasumi?"

"I wanted to meet the girl who'd gotten Itachi's heart as her own." Kasumi admitted finally looking up to meet Naru's surprised gaze. "And frankly I wanted her to be a horrible young woman so that Itachi would have no choice but to leave her. I couldn't be more happy because I turned out to be wrong and seeing you with him, I know that what you two have is real."

"How so?" Naru asked even through the flush in her cheeks.

"I told you something was missing with Itachi." Kasumi said. "He was never as tender and sweet as he was with me and I'm actually jealous that you got him to open that side of him. I wanted that and Shisui showed me what I'd been missing with your fiance. It may not be obvious but I do love Shisui and my sons."

"Then what are you still doing here?"

"I may love Shisui now but it doesn't change that I loved Itachi as well." Kasumi rose in her full Uchiha glory. "Hurt him and you won't know what hit you." it was a crude threat for one such as an Uchiha to make but Naru could only smile as Kasumi swept out of the room without another word. Sighing softly to herself she rose to follow but stayed leaning against the door as the dark haired woman approached Shisui and Itachi who had apparently been talking as well.

XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoX

Itachi looked up in surprise when Kasumi came sauntering out of the house in their direction. They had heard the yells but they were stopped from coming inside by both parents. He saw Naru follow Kasumi but stop at the doorway and he knew she was watching for something.

"Shisui, can we go home?" he turned his attention to his cousin who was in a state of shock. This day had nothing but surprises for all of them.

"Already?" Shisui's voice came out high-pitched and Itachi couldn't suppress the chuckle that bubbled in his throat. "Sumi what are you doing?" this time it dropped into a husky groan as the woman settled herself on her husband's lap.

"I want to spend time with you and our sons." she declared seemingly ignoring everyone else's presence, especially Itachi's as he sat next to them both, when she kissed him passionately on the lips.

"Sumi?" Shisui gasped out as soon as they pulled away from each other.

"I want to be alone with you Sui-kun," Itachi forced his head away from the couple who were only seconds away from devouring each other in front of all of them and searched for his fiancee. She was still leaning on the door, a small amused smile on her lips and her eyes dancing with mischievousness. Smirking at her, his eyes darkened at the lust that flashed in her orbs before it was replaced with something akin to excitement, anticipation or nervousness?

"I'll leave you two to it then," he told the couple who had been busy with each other.

"Itachi," Kasumi called out to him as he rose and their gazes met. No one spoke, everyone held their breath but the pair didn't talk. Itachi nodded because they'd already had a conversation and he understood what she was trying to say.

"Take care of Shisui and the twins Kasumi." those were his parting words as he strode over to his still smiling soon-to=be wife. Maybe they should get married soon, because if they were to wait a little longer she wouldn't be able to keep her promise to her father that she would save herself for marriage. "I won't ask you what you said to her." he told her as he captured her lips in a chaste kiss that quickly turned heated. "I still stand by what I said, you're a little matchmaker." he kissed her again, pushing her back against the hard wood while simultaneously pulling her close to him so that she could feel his hardness on her stomach. Groaning loudly as she wrapped her legs around his waist, he pulled her up and looked straight into her eyes. "Let's get married Naru."
