The Betrothed Bastard
Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't want to be mine! ToT!!
Warning: AU, really. Maybe OOCness, but that's because I want to fit the characters so that they co-respond with the universe. It will be a happy happy joy joy story all the way with little to no complications at all. This is because I suck at angst. NaruSasu. NejiGaara. Always wanted a Swan Princess/Ugly Betty crossover set in the future so I shall deliver!
Act 10 : The Custody Battle??!
"We should definitely call his family. They must be worried about him," Juugo suggested. The rest was informed of Sasuke's condition and after an ugly fight of 'I'm Sasuke's love' that eventually toned down, they all agreed to have a truce.
Besides, if Sasuke's lost his memory, they all now have an equal chance, right?
"But we don't know who he is," Karin interjected.
"But I know a way to find out…," Suigetsu's eyes gleamed, evilly.
"Oh, I don't remember being a model," Sasuke informed the guys. They were in a studio (a famous one at that. The president couldn't say no to a gorgeous raven that wanted to model for his agency) and Karin had acted as Sasuke's manager, Juugo the bodyguard, and Suigetsu his other modeling partner / boyfriend (self proclaimed).
"You used to love it! You said that being a model will unite you with your true love~" Suigetsu drawled out. "And that love would definitely be me,"
Karin heard the last comment and spun to face the man.
"It's gonna be me!! Come to think of it, you just want him to wear scandalous clothing so that you could ogle him! You had no intention of returning him to his family!" Karin accused, pointing a well manicured finger at Suigetsu.
"Guilty. Can you blame me?" Suigetsu grinned.
"And don't think we shouldn't be making money out of that sinful body of his,"
"Look this way please, Uchiha-san,"
News spread like wild fire, and exactly 3 days after Sasuke's escape, the word that a new model has taken the industry by storm reached the four corners of the world.
Konoha was no exception.
"That's Sasuke! What the hell is he doing in just underwear!!" Naruto banged his fist on the student table. Itachi was having a hard time putting down the special double page introduction to Hawk, the new model that could turn any male (animal included) gay.
"He should be coming home right now!" Naruto continued on his rant. He hadn't slept in days worrying about his teme.
"I think he lost his memory," Itachi suggested steadily. That was the only explanation (logical) that he could think of.
"You know, the nosebleed doesn't help," Naruto pointed out. But regardless, Itachi has to be on to something. Sasuke would never NOT return to Naruto.
"Then these jerks must be keeping him to themselves!! I won't let them dattebayo~!!" Naruto shouted in enthusiasm.
Itachi on the other hand, was thinking ways of finding Sasuke without alerting Naruto. He silently took out his mobile and called for some assistance.
Suigetsu snapped his head as the dressing room door banged open with a loud thud. Juugo got into defense while Karin hissed at the intruder. Sasuke was resting his head on the sofa, with cucumbers on his closed eyes.
"Is that the burger boy?" Sasuke enquired.
"I don't think it's the delivery Sasuke," Suigetsu muttered. This made Sasuke opened his eyes to see the newcomer.
Itachi eyed Sasuke with the utmost interest. Pein and Deidara were using their PR charm to settle down Karin and Suigetsu. Sasuke eyed Itachi with apprehension. The guy looks awfully familiar~
"Sasuke, why didn't you come home to me? I was worried," Itachi scolded gently.
"Huh?"
"Is that anyway to treat your husband?"
"Husband??!!" came the simultaneous chorus of Sasuke, Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo. Itachi nodded and put on a smile.
"Come Sasuke, the car is waiting," Itachi croned. Sasuke hesitantly took the hand.
"But I…," Sasuke started only to be interrupted by Itachi.
"You lost your memory. I know,"
"Oh. Can these guys come with? They're my friends," pointing out to his trio, Itachi raised an eyebrow and made a click with his tongue.
"Very well, if that is your wish,"
"We should not have made him into a model. His caught already," Suigetsu muttered from the background. Karin knocked his head while continue to gawk at the supposed husband.
"HOOOO~LD IT!! Itachi you slime! I know I shouldn't trust you!!" Naruto barged in with Gaara and Neji in tow.
"Sasuke!" Neji hugged his brother close. Sasuke appeared more confuse than before.
"Sasuke! Don't trust that weasel! I'm your fiancé," Naruto squawked and Sasuke has to admit, the sound sounds irritatingly familiar.
"I'll resolve this," Neji said while putting a DVD into a laptop. The screen flashed on and lo and behold, Sasuke stared impassively at the camera.
"That's me," Sasuke gasped. The Sasuke in the video stared into the screen and placed his clasped hands in front of his face.
"This video is dedicated to myself in case Naruto or myself loses memory and other parties are trying to take advantage of our naïve selfs,"
"First stop Naruto. You are my fiancé aged 18. Born on 10th October, we are bethroed since we are 8, and will be getting married once you finish university. In case you doubt my information, here are photos of us together doing all sorts of activities,"
The screen Sasuke then proceeded to show a slide show of said activities.
"Holy %&^&! Why is that picture of us playing dress up in there?!!" Naruto squawked, Neji, Gaara and Itachi chuckled in the background. Sasuke oohed and inched nearer to the tv.
In case you still doubt the authenticity of these photos, here's a video that would surely jolt your memory even though you have amnesia.
A video plays on the screen.
"Unnh, sasukee~"
"That's right dobe, moan for me,"
The camera focused on the participant details, beginning form the scars on Naruto's face and ended at the mole on Naruto's left feet.
"For kami's sake! Just watch the relevant part!" Naruto fast forward the video until they saw Sasuke's face again.
"..for myself in case I lose my memory,"
The slideshow showed different set of pictures, mostly centering on Sasuke's upbringing, pictures of Neji and his university life.
"Now here's another video to justify that,"
"Unnh~ Sasukee~"
"That's the exact same video!" Naruto shouted from his spot.
The camera zoomed in on Sasuke's left shoulder, where a tattoo was placed.
"It's the same as mine!" Sasuke gasped while turning to look at Naruto. Naruto nodded and patted Sasuke's head, smiling gently. He peeled his shirt to show Naruto, whom drooled when witnessing the pale skin.
"Ahem, then Sasuke, I believe you need to follow me home," Neji held his hand out to his younger brother. Sasuke gazed back at his new found friends, and Neji nodded his agreement in allowing them back to their mansion. Karin, Suigetsu and juugo piled behind Sasuke, each thinking of how to resume their life from then on.
Itachi fumed in silence, calculating his next move.
It's another update!! Thanks everyone!! I love you all!
