A/N: So sorry for not updating in forever it's just been a crazy past few months.

Itachi stared at his younger brother in shock. "I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. Say that again."

"I am getting married to Naruto…in an hour as a matter of fact so-"

"But how did this come about? Last I had heard, they were well on their merry little way to cart naruto off to the mad house. Just what did you do?"

" What did I do? I did nothing it was that conniving little brat that did something. He deceived me again. He trapped me into this god forsaken marriage by seducing me!"

Itachi could help but smirk at his little brother's discomfort. " He seduced you? Pray tell little brother, what did he do force himself on you?"

Trying to claim his seething rage Sasuke began to re tell the events of what exactly did in fact happen.

" He planned the entire affair. All his innocent lust and fake desire. It was all a ploy to get me to compromise him in time for the Bishop and his uncle to walk in on us. Had they came even a minute later I'm quite sure they would have walked in on more than me undressing sweet Naruto! By God Itachi, after everything I have done to help him. I cannot believe he would do this to me!"

Watching her cousin in his pure rage. Hinata couldn't help but feel sorry for Naruto surly he wasn't as bad as Sasuke was making him out be.

She had to speak up. "He was frightened Sasuke. Surly you can understand that. They were planning of taking him back to that terrible place again. Only this time they would have made sure he would never be leaving again. He did the only thing he could think of."

"Damn it Hinata, I would have protected him! I would have seen to his safety. If only he would have trusted me!"

Itachi stared at his little brother as he counted to seethe in his rage. He had never seen his brother quit this angry before. Whenever sasuke would become upset he would usually deal using cold attachment. But his fierily passion set his in brother was a welcome change. Since meeting the mysterious boy know as Naruto sasuke was acting more alive than ever.

Itachi was certain that his brother was more upset that Naruto didn't trust him to keep him safe than over the fact he was now trapped into marriage. Honestly Naruto was better than hat pink wench he was engaged to. Still he had to be certain that his brother would regret marrying Naruto. He didn't want his brother or Naruto to suffer more than they already were.

"You could always send him back." Silence was met with his statement as he gazed up to the shocked looked he got from his cousin and brother.

" If you told them he was truly insane, not with in his right mind. Then there would be no way they could force you into this marriage."

" Itachi! You can't mean that." Hinata gasped at her cousin.

"I'm telling my brother the truth. All he'd have to do is send the boy away. One word from him and Naruto could be out of his life forever."

Sasuke threw his brother a dark scowl. " I can't do that. No one deserves that sort of cruel punishment. I can't let that snake bastard hurt my naruto more than he already has. Now I suggest we leave. We wouldn't want to miss the wedding."

To say that Naruto was nervous would be a huge understatement. There weren't a lot of people but that somehow made Naruto feel more uncomfortable. It was like he was the main attraction of a circus. Everyone kept pointing and whispering.

He could feel his uncles gaze upon him. The cold dread he felt just being in the man's presents seem to have intensified given the circumstances. Orochimaru was just waiting for him to slip up. For him to do or say anything that would get him thrown back into the mad house.

Well it wasn't going to happen. Sasuke would save him. Protect him with his name and influence and stop his uncle…at least Naruto hoped so. Sasuke was already ten minutes late.

…what if the Earl got to him? Convinced him that Naruto was indeed mad and did belong to be put away. Oh god what if-

Naruto stopped his nervous musing as everyone stood up for Sasuke and his brother. Sasuke calmly walked to where Naruto stood with Bishop.

" Sorry I had to get the rings." Sasuke whispered quietly for naruto to hear.

The Bishop began the marriage ceremony Repeat after me.

"I pledge my love to you, and everything that I own.
I promise you the first bite of my meat and the first sip from by cup.
I pledge that your name will always be the name I cry aloud in the dead of night.
I promise to honor you above all others.
Our love is never-ending, and we will remain, forevermore, equals in our marriage.
This is my wedding vow to you."

At long last they were finally Married.
