Day 283.

For hours, Naruto had already been sitting still. For hours, two people had been moving around her like buzzing bees. Equally as annoying, to be honest. But Naruto was not allowed to complain. "We're done" the make-up artist said as she moved back. The bride's maids and Mikoto immediately moved closer to take a good look. Naruto opened her eyes and looked straight into the mirror held up in front of her. If she hadn't been sitting there for hours, she wouldn't have thought that that much make-up had gone on her face.

Her eyes had a glittery champagne colour with a darker crease, a smooth wingtip and thick lashes that were not fake, to the make-up artist's envy. Her lips had a light pinkish gloss that looked as if she had just been kissed. Her cheeks were slightly rosy, but didn't draw any attention. She wondered why she had to stay still for so many hours, but didn't voice it. Her hair had been curled before being pinned up in a twisted and curled chignon.

"You look gorgeous" Sakura and Ino said and Mikoto clapped in her hands. "Now, the dress" she said and Naruto looked slightly troubled as she stepped off the high chair she had been sitting in. "Don't look so troubled, sweetie. Last time you fitted it, it was perfect and it'll still be the same" Mikoto said as Hinata, Ino and Sakura sat down, more than curious to see the dress. Naruto walked behind the screen that was spread out to let Mikoto help her with putting on the dress. "Naruto! The shoes!" Ino called and Mikoto looked up.

"Right, the choo's" she said and took over the box from the teller blonde. Naruto, still in her bathrobe, sat down on the chair behind the screen and changed her indoor slippers for the ivory jimmy choo fayme high heels. "How are you feeling?" Mikoto asked and Naruto glanced at her she stepped into the circle that was her dress. "Nervous and a bit sad" Naruto admitted and Mikoto gave a concerned frown.

"Sad? I thought you said you wanted this?" she asked, not a single ounce off accusation in her voice, only worry. "That's not it. It's just, I wish that mom and dad could have been here, but that's impossible, so I'm just a bit sad about that" Naruto said and felt goosebums break out over her skin where the dress slid against. "Oh sweetie" Mikoto said with sadness in her voice. "But it's okay. I've got Ero-sennin and baa-chan, and from tomorrow on, I'll you and uncle Fugaku. I'm just building a new family. And I still have my friends" Naruto said and smiled.

"Oh dear, you're making me cry" Mikoto said as she blinked fast while adjusting Naruto's dress in the right placed. "What?! Oh, shit, I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention" Naruto said nervous and Mikoto laughed. "It's okay, Naruto. You just said something to make this old lady very happy" she said and stood straight again. She did a one up of the blonde, who waited expectantly before Mikoto smiled. "You look perfect" she said and Naruto heaved a soft sigh. Shooing her from behind the screen, the three bride's maids gasped. It stayed silent while they studied her from top to bottom.

The sheath dress had a lace halter strap that ran into a sweetheart neckline. The back of the dress was cut out to resemble a Victorian frame, sheer lace filling up her sides and lower back until it reached her tailbone. In a V above her tailbone, the sheer lace flowed into the lower part of the dress that was made out of crepe satin. The dress ended in a chapel train, which could be secured with a wrist loop.

"Oh my god" Ino said after a tense silence where Naruto had to refrain from wringing her hands together. "You look really good, Naruto" Hinata said and Sakura huffed. "I wish I could be a little less jealous, but I guess that's part of the whole wedding thing, isn't it" she said but with a smile on her face. "Is that good, or is that bad?" Naruto asked and Sakura chuckled. "It's good. I pity Sasuke-kun" she said and Mikoto laughed. "He's not going to know what hit him. Let's hope he doesn't faint on the spot" she said and Naruto snorted.

"That would be something he won't ever live down" she said and Mikoto looked at the girls. "Time for us to gear up. Naruto, sweetie, don't forget the earrings and the bracelet" Mikoto said as she vaguely waved at the vanity table where the make-up artist and hairdresser were cleaning up. They had worked on the bride's maids first, since it would take less time. Naruto opened the box to reveal a simple silver bangle with a spiral engraved in the front. Next to it, were diamond and pearl drop earrings, but somehow both things were familiar. Naruto didn't know how long she'd been standing there, staring at it, as a hand landed on her shoulder.

"It was your mothers" Mikoto said and Naruto looked up at her. "The bangle is passed down from generation to generation, something old. While the earrings were hers, the ones she wore on her own wedding, something borrowed" Mikoto said and Naruto looked back down on the jewellery. "I'm not going to cry" she said, but her voice still broke as she reached out for the bangle first, putting it on her wrist. After she had put on the earrings, she was blinking fast not to let the tears drop.

"So, how do we look?" Ino asked to avert Naruto's attention. It worked wonders as the blonde turned around. All three bride's maids wore the same dress, but in a different style. Sakura had gone for the one shoulder drape with smooth silver pumps. Ino had chosen the cross back with a bow in the back and sparkly silver platform heels. Hinata had gone for the backless style with low silver strappy heels that weren't too high. Mikoto looked spectacular in a dark blue chiffon dress with nude heels. Naruto excitedly held up her two thumbs with a grin.

"Oh right! the veil!" Mikoto said as she went back behind the screen for the veil. The girls chuckled at her as Naruto smiled. She could feel her nerves disappear by just letting their antics get to her. "The photographer should be he- He's here" Mikoto said as she looked at the door when there was a knock. "I'll do it" Hinata said as she held out her hand for the veil. Mikoto gave her a smile before leaving the job to her so she could go open the door. The first pictures with the bride's maids were taken surprisingly smoothly, though Naruto had enough by the fourteenth picture. Though if she had to be honest, she would much rather continue to take the same picture over and over again as long as she didn't have to wait for her godfather, right before she had to walk down the aisle. God how corny that sounded.

"You okay?" Sakura asked as she noticed how Naruto was looking around. She was a bit unsure herself, and that showed not only on her face, but also Ino's and Hinata's. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just hoping that that old pervert will be on time, instead of making a grand entrance hours later" Naruto said and heard a scoff behind her. "Is that how you greet your godfather? Hmpf, maybe I should just go back to Germany. I left those lovely ladies waiting for me" a low, but clear voice came from behind her and Naruto brightened up at the familiarity of it. Pushing it down, she turned around with an annoyed expression.

"You're late, Ero-sennin" she said and the long haired middle aged man, who was grinning at her. Naruto raised her eyebrow at him as he took her in with a stern expression. "Impossible!" he suddenly said as he turned around. The girls looked surprised at him as he held his head down. "I told myself I wouldn't cry" Jiraiya said and Naruto snorted as the girls smiled. "Really, old man?" Naruto asked as she walked closer to him and patted his back. Jiraiya soon recovered and turned to Naruto, once again serious, but a glint in his eyes that was caught between fondness and worry. "Are you sure about this?" he asked and Naruto looked up at him.

"I am. I wouldn't have said yes otherwise" she said and Jiraiya smiled. "Then that's good" he said and leaned down to give her a hug and almost break her ribs with that. "Now, don't we have somewhere to walk to" he said and right at that moment the music started. "Oh shit" Sakura cursed as she turned to the direction they had to go out. "It's because you're late, you old pervert" Naruto said and Jiraiya smiled. "I forgot my shoes. I don't think I would have left this place with my balls still in-tact if I had showed up with my geta's" he said and Naruto smiled. "No, you wouldn't have" she agreed and watched Ino leave after Hinata.

"Don't fall" Jiraiya warned as he held out his hand and Naruto scoffed as she moved her veil over her face. "I'll drag you down with me and put the blame on you" she said with a smirk and made sure to keep her bouquet made of white flowers with hints of pastel blue and pastel orange firmly in place as the two of them started walking. "You nervous?" Jiraiya asked and Naruto shrugged. "Not anymore" she said and finally took a first look around the ceremony venue outside. Next to the aisle were on each side rows of white chairs with white pillows. The aisle was decorated with white flower pieces the ones at the start, bigger than the ones next to the chair rows. The square wooden arch at the end of the aisle with draped with white drapes and pastel and white flowers. While everything was simplistic and white, Naruto loved it.

"Oh god" Naruto cursed as the crowd rose and turned to look at her. Jiraiya snorted as he walked next to her down the aisle, following Ino. "You could have just said you wanted the register and no celebration" he said soft and Naruto scoffed. "I couldn't. Mikoto was too excited and I didn't have the heart to tell her" she said and her eyes landed on the people she knew. Her friends at the front, together with Tsunade and Shizune. To her surprise, she saw a familiar red head between the crowd and another white haired man sticking out above them.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me" Naruto muttered and Jiraiya glanced in the direction she was looking at without turning her head. "For now, focus on your future slave in front of you. You can greet them later" he said and Naruto scoffed. "I know that" she said and looked back in front of as they stopped walking. Jiraiya lifted her veil before turning to her husband-to-be. "Sasuke" Jiraiya said and Naruto raised an eyebrow at the raven, who was staring at her with wide eyes and thin lips.

"Sasuke" Jiraiya repeated amused and finally the raven seemed to shake out of it. The three Uchiha's behind Sasuke snickered quietly as Sasuke gave a nod at the old man before taking over Naruto's hand. Jiraiya went to join Tsunade as Naruto stepped in front of Sasuke. As the wedding officiant started droning up his script to welcome the guests, Naruto took the time to take in Sasuke. She had to admit that he looked good in a navy blue three-piece suit with white shirt and white tie. The boutonniere was made up out of a peach rose and forget me nots together with some small white flowers. Naruto and Sasuke turned to the officiant as he made an end to the script.

"Do you, Uchiha Sasuke, take Uzumaki Naruto to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the officiant asked and Sasuke squeezed the blonde's hand. "I do" he said and the older man turned to Naruto. "And do you, Uzumaki Naruto, take Uchiha Sasuke to be your lawfully wedded husband?" he asked and Naruto squeezed back. "I do" she said and Itachi stepped forward with the rings on a soft white pillow. Sasuke took Naruto's ring first, holding up her hand.

"With this ring, I give you my heart. I promise from this day forward, you shall not walk alone. May my heart be your shelter and my arms your home" Sasuke said as he slid the gold diamond wedding band on top of her engagement ring. Naruto picked up the even gold wedding band and lifted up Sasuke's hand. She repeated the vow as she slid on the ring before smiling up at him. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" the officiant said and Sasuke reached up slowly with both his hands to cup the blonde's cheeks before slowly leaning down.

Naruto huffed and lifted her dress enough to kick out her the tip of her foot against his shin. Flinching as if to grab his abused shin, their lips connected under the sound of applause. Naruto chuckled soft as Obito holler behind Sasuke. Well, Kiba and Lee were not far behind as Sasuke captured Naruto's lips languidly, taking his time before recapturing them again. He pulled back and stood straight again, caressing her cheeks with both his thumbs and a soft happy smile.

"I present to you, Mr and Mrs Uchiha" the officiator said and the applause broke out again as Sasuke placed Naruto's hand in the crook of his arm. As they walked back down the aisle, now to the opposite side, white flower petals were thrown over them. Naruto caught sight of soap bubbles and looked over in the general direction to see a familiar lopsided smile. As soon as they were out of sight, Sasuke turned to his newly wed wife and proceeded to decently kiss her. Naruto released a surprised sound at the suddenness of it, but was quick to wrap her arms around the raven's shoulders and kiss back. They didn't know how long they stood there, embracing each other with their lips connected, but they didn't care either. Someone cleared their throat behind them, breaking them up. The newly-wed couple turned to the photograph who had an apologetic smile.

"We should better get to the wedding pictures and group pictures now that we still have daylight" she said and Sasuke nodded as he caught his breath. "Yeah, sure. What do you want us to do?" Naruto asked as she bend down to pick up her train so moving would be easier. The bridal pictures were quickly taken, just like the bridesmaid pictures. Sadly, the group photos weren't that quick. The Uchiha was a big family and they all stopped to have a little chat. Their friends were the same, but a lot quicker concerning the picture.

"Naruto" a familiar voice said and Naruto's face lit up with a grin. "Gaara!" she said as the redhead smiled at her, accepting her hug one-handedly. "Sasuke, this is Gaara, he's one of my oldest friends" Naruto said and the redhead gave a nod at Sasuke. "Treat her well. She deserves that" he said as Naruto turned to Tenmari and Kankuro, hugging each of them. Next was another familiar face, that stuck out with head and almost shoulders.

"Yo, chicky, you ready to get freaky?" the dark skinned man rapped badly and Naruto smirked as she bumped her fist against his. "Always and anywhere, dattebayo" she answered and turned to look at Sasuke again. "This is Killer B, don't mind his rapping" she warned and Sasuke barely held back his grimace as the man greeted him with indeed a bad rap. Naruto complimented him for at least figuring out that B wasn't a hand giving person like Gaara was, but a fist umping person. Next was Utakatu, who showed up in a yukata and couldn't help but be sassy as always, which in turn made Naruto comment on his single-ness compared to her married-ness. After every had passed and the cocktail hour was done, Naruto and Sasuke moved to the reception-room.

"You ready to go, Mrs Uchiha?" Sasuke asked and Naruto smirked. "If it's for the food, hell yeah. The dance, not so much, Mr Uchiha" she said and Sasuke gave a soft chuckle. "Please welcome, Mr and Mrs Uchiha" Madara introduced them and Sasuke entwined his fingers with Naruto's as they walking into the brightly lit, oval ballroom with round tables surrounding a large square dancefloor. Next to the door was a bar and a buffet, which was for later, as the couple first had to suffer through the opening's dance. Naruto smiled uneasy as the first notes of Mandy more's only hope set in and Sasuke led her into a basic Viennese waltz across the dancefloor. Naruto was glad to be able to sit down in the middle of the head table with the groomsmen on Sasuke's side and the bride's maids on her side.

Her biggest dilemma was choosing between spaghetti meatballs, mac and cheese, chicken parmesan or pasta alfredo for dinner. She settled for the alfredo, knowing that her meatball spaghetti was way better, or that might have just been her ego talking. During the night, besides the time period where she danced with her friends, Sasuke hadn't been able to keep his hands off her, always touching her one way or another. The cake, Naruto absolutely loved, as she had two pieces of it. It was ten minutes before the end of the reception that Mikoto and the three bride's maids ushered Naruto back into the room they had been allowed to use to change. Naruto was confused, but went along with it.

"Did you see?" Naruto asked as she was helped out of her dress, which she didn't exactly felt sad about to take off. "See what?" Sakura asked and Naruto looked at her. "Shikamaru and Tenmari" she said and smiled. "I knew it was a good choice to put those two next to each other" Naruto said and Ino looked up. "You mean that dirty blonde friend of yours, who came with the red-head?" she asked and lapsed into a monologue about how she could see their relationship coming. Naruto grimaced slightly at white lace underwear, but pulled it on without complaint. It wasn't as if there was anything else.

A mint green lace and tulle dress was laced up in her back, the thick straps fitting comfortably on her shoulders. Her hair was let down before her bangs were loosely braided back into a half up half down bun that was held in place by a bronze subtle hair comb. Stepping back in her faymes, she was once again ushered out of the room and with a heartily goodbye, all but shoved into the back of a car together with her husband who was dressed in extremely casual suit.

Naruto looked around the suite she was in and sighed. "They're batshit" she commented and Sasuke scoffed. "You only figured that out right now, usuratonkachi?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. Obviously, she was talking about the small cottage in a Hawaiian resort that was their honeymoon destination for a five days. The cottage was small and had a small kitchenette in the corner, no TV, no internet, a bathroom with a bath for two and a shower.

But most importantly was the canopy bed against the wall, lithered with red rose petals and champagne with two glasses on the nightstand. The cottage stood on top of the water and had a terrace that Naruto was definitely going to use for sunbathing. She was not returning without a tan to brag. With a sigh, she gave up on trying to figure out how they had gotten even here everything ready.

"Oi, Sasuke, can you untie me" she said and Sasuke hummed as he stopped placing small kisses on her neck. He stood back on his heels and studied the knot before finally figuring out how he was supposed to untie the lace. His fingertips brushed her back as he opened the dress. "Okay, I'm just going to straight out ask this. Are we going to keep this real traditional and do our wedding night properly, or do you want to go to sleep?" Naruto asked, feeling her nerves tight strung. Sasuke scoffed as he trailed over the back of the lacy bra with his fingertips.

"So unsexy" he commented and Naruto sighed as she turned around. "You want to do it or not?" she asked as she looked up at him. "I do" Sasuke said and was about to say that if she didn't want to, that he could wait. But that was completely unnecessary as Naruto stood on the tips of her toes and had pulled him down, connecting their lips with an eagerness that spoke of restrained want as if she'd been holding back from voicing her desire to take that last step. The reaction was instantaneous as Sasuke wrapped his arms around his wife, pulling her again his body and answering the kiss with just as much hunger.

The months of restraining himself while being worked up, was slowly soothed as he realized that they would not be disturbed. Naruto came to the same realization but their eagerness didn't fade. Sasuke reached up to Naruto's hair, taking out the comb so he could run his hands through her locks. Her hands burned against his skin through the thin green shit he wore and he wanted nothing more than to feel them against his bare skin. As if she could read his mind, she pushed the beige blazer off his shoulders to fall onto the ground. His shirt followed soon, as did Naruto's dress.

Naruto chuckled as they tumbled onto the bed, the rose petals flying up with their weight crashing down on the uber soft matrass. She was silenced again by Sasuke's mouth as he laid on top of her, pressing her into the matrass with his weight. His hands on her body felt like heaven, in contrast with the humid air hanging in the cottage. With surprisingly steady hands, she managed to unbutton and zip down Sasuke's pants before the raven pulled back.

"Wait" he said as he stood up. Naruto was confused and maybe a tad bit hurt as she looked at him. "What?" she asked as he opened their luggage that had been delivered early. "Condoms. I'm willing to bet my left nut that mom put some in here" he said and stood back up with a box in his hand. Naruto smirked as she reached to take her shoes off letting them fall to the floor with a thud as Sasuke kicked off his own shoes. He placed the box on the nightstand after putting a package on the corner. Naruto grabbed his belt-loop and used it as a lever to pull him closer. While Sasuke wanted to tease her for being so eager, he was in no position to talk.

After shedding his pants he let his hands roam her body, taking in the suppleness of her skin. While they had already gone as far as lying in underwear together, they had never taken it further than a handjob and fingering. Still, Sasuke was never going to get enough of feeling Naruto against him. A soft sound escaped Naruto's lips as Sasuke palmed one of her breasts above her bra.

"Take it off" Naruto said and Sasuke didn't need to be told twice as his hand moved to the back to snap open the closing. The piece landed on the floor, forgotten as Sasuke rolled her onto her back again, bending down to her neck. Naruto braided her fingers through his hair as his lips brushed over her skin, kissing down a path to her chest. Supporting himself on his elbows on each side of her waist, he was able to use his hands to play with the mounds as his mouth closed around one of her hardened nubs. Naruto closed her eyes to focus on the sensation.

While not completely pleasurable, it was enough to send a tingle down her spine. Especially when his teeth scraped over her nipple as he sucked on it. Her breathing shortened as her excitement became evident in her all lace panties, as if it hadn't before. Sasuke glanced up at her as he let one of his hands travel between her legs, caressing her thighs towards her core not to scare her off. He felt the wetness seeping through the fabric and couldn't hold back the shiver that send down his spine, knowing that she was just as excited as he was and that he was the one responsible for it. Naruto's legs twitched under his stomach as he gently rubbed his finger up and down over her slit.

"Sa-ah-suke" she panted and Sasuke raised his head from where he had been practically buried between her boobs. "Can I take it off?" Sasuke asked and Naruto nodded eagerly, lifting her hips to help him. Blue eyes, blown wide with lust looked at him as he took off his own boxershorts and send them to the ground together with her underwear. Sasuke leaned back down over her and claimed her lips, dominating the kiss as she gasped into his mouth when his finger once again brushed he core, this time without the fabric between it. Sliding his fingers between the folds, he wetted his digits, alternating between sliding and circling her clit.

He knew what to do because she wasn't afraid to tell him what she wanted and what felt good. She was also an open person who never bothered to hide or muffle the noises she was making, which also told Sasuke what she wanted like a language only the two of them spoke. Without any doubt, her slid in his first digit, feeling her walls easily accept it. After a few slow pumps of his finger, Naruto let out a whine, stating that it wasn't enough. Sasuke slipped in a second finger and upped his pace. He finally broke away from the kiss in favour of hearing her sound as he leaned down to take her nipple in his mouth again.

"Oh fuck! Sasuke, stop" Naruto panted and Sasuke paused, looking up at her. "What's wrong?" he asked and Naruto shook with her head. "Gonna cum" she panted and Sasuke smirked. "That's sort of the point, babe" he said and moved his hand again. "Ah! Fuck, Sasuke!" Naruto moaned as she clutched his shoulders. A higher, hoarse moan left her mouth as she curled up as much as possible, her walls constricting around his fingers as her juices dripped onto his hand. Sasuke pulled his fingers out of her entrance and brought them up to his mouth. Naruto looked up at him with dazed eyes as he licked his fingers with a satisfied expression.

"Fuck, you going to continue or not?" Naruto asked as she lifted one knee, effectively putting herself on display. Sasuke reached for the condom on the nightstand and opened the wrapper before putting it on. If he'd have any less self-control, he would have came from the sigh before him and the minimum of friction alone. But he had nothing if not a will of steel. Naruto spread her knees as wide as she could as Sasuke laid in between them, pressing their lips together. Naruto's hair was beginning to get sweaty, just like Sasuke's own, but neither cared. Guiding himself with his hand, Sasuke carefully brought his hips forward. Naruto closed her eyes as she felt Sasuke sink into her, inch before inch, stretching her open with a slight painful twinge, but not enough to comment about.

"I'm in. You okay?" Sasuke asked as he brushed Naruto's bangs back, his breathing short from reigning in his desire to ram into her pliant body. Her walls around him, even with the rubber separating them, felt more intense than he had expected. Naruto wrapped her legs around Sasuke's waist and smirked. "I will be when you start moving. Or are you afraid you'll come early?" she asked and Sasuke knew an empty taunt when he heard one.

Yet he couldn't call her out on it as he grabbed her thigh and rolled his hips back. Naruto hummed in his neck as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She gasped when he slid back in place, rubbing her walls in a way she hadn't experienced before. Sasuke set up a pace, knowing that he indeed wasn't going to last much longer. Their skin slid together damp with sweat as Naruto panted into Sasuke's neck and Sasuke into the blonde's neck.

"Fuck! Sa-ah!-suke, I'm gonna! Again" Naruto moaned as she dug her nails into his back. "Yeah? Me too" Sasuke panted as he used his free hand to reach between them and thumb her clit. Naruto cried out as she moved her hips together with him, making his hips stutter. His name died down on her lips in favour of a drawn out moan as she reached her climax, the twitching of the walls around him sending Sasuke right after her with a grunt. Moving his tired hips, Sasuke rode out their orgasm as he desperately fought to get his breathing back.

After gaining something resembling his ground, he sat back on his heels and held the rim of the rubber before carefully pulling out of his wife, who hissed slightly. After tying and throwing away the used condom, Sasuke laid down in the bed besides the blonde. Naruto rolled over onto her side to lazily kiss him, which he answered eagerly, but spend.

"You want champagne?" Sasuke asked after breaking apart again and Naruto couldn't help but laugh, though she agreed. Before they fell asleep, Naruto found enjoyment in tracing his freshly healed shoulder tattoo. Sasuke was surprised to wake up to an empty bed, but soon found his wife in the ocean under their cottage, swimming around in a hot pink bikini. Sasuke wasted no time with joining her for a swim at 4 in the morning. They ended up going for another round before going for breakfast, though Naruto complained about being tender.

Sasuke couldn't help but frown at the sigh before him. The cab that had been waiting for them after their landing back home, didn't take them home, but instead somewhere else. With a confused frown, Naruto stepped out of the cab as the driver put their luggage next to the door of the Mediterranean styled house, complete with double garage, covered balcony, two floors, and outside lights, lighting up the dark sand coloured exterior.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Naruto asked and Sasuke looked at her. Honestly, they had only been five days in Hawaii, how did she even become so dark? It was even more obvious with the crocheted shorts and the white and black palmtree crop top. "Probably not" Sasuke said as his eyes lingered on the bellybutton ring with a silver S dangling from it. Naruto caught his look and scoffed before walking up to the front door. Sasuke's eyes were glued to the way her hips swayed without the help of her white flip flop sandals, her head covered by a white summer hat and giant sunglasses. She was still in a vacation mood, and would probably continue to be until school would start again. At least for her. Sasuke glanced back and noticed the look the cab-driver was giving his wife.

"Keep the change" Sasuke said brusque as he threw some money through the open window before walking off after the blonde, possessively laying his hand on her lower back. At the door, they found a note that was coded. "Have fun in your new house. You'll find the keys if you think. Madara" Naruto decoded quick before Sasuke even got the chance to study it. "I knew it" Naruto said as she turned to Sasuke. "Reach up for that flowerpot" she said and frowningly, Sasuke did so. His fingers touched two keys, which he took down as he landed back on his heels.

"Christ, he is crazy" Sasuke said and handed the key to Naruto to open the door. What met them was even crazier, as they stepped into the foyer. In silence, they walked through the house, studying every room going from the dining room, to the kitchen, to the family room, the master bedroom on the opposite side of the family room. The master bedroom was connected to a large bathroom and then to a large walk in closet. The house was squared around a small courtyard, while the master bedroom and family room gave out in the backyard.

There was a breakfast nook attached to the kitchen, a covered patio between the master bedroom and the family room and a library next to the foyer with the living room on the other side. And that was all only the main floor. On the second floor were two bedrooms, a bar or loft, a game room, a theatre room and a balcony that was attached to the game room. Naruto and Sasuke both ended up back in the master bedroom's walk in closet, which was filled with their clothes.

"Holy fuck" Naruto said and Sasuke looked around. "I'd say this is almost 50000 square foot in total. We need to thank Ojii-chan for this" Sasuke said and Naruto stared at him. "This is not a wedding gift! This is throwing with money!" she said and Sasuke just kissed her to shut her up before she could begin to rant. "Just accept it for what it is, Naruto. Ojii-chan gave us a house as a wedding gift. The least we can do is thank him and not start an ungrateful rant about how this is throwing away money" Sasuke said and Naruto stared at him before sighing. Honestly, Uchihas.

"Did you check the garage?" she asked and Sasuke frowned. "There is another gift, from your parents this time" Naruto said and Sasuke curiously walked to the garage where he found a pitch black Alfa Romeo Giulia with a dark blue bow around it. Sasuke was smitten with the car as Naruto sighed and went to really discover the house that was apparently now theirs. The design was the same in every room, forming a nice smooth transition from room to room. The main theme was obviously metatherian and the colours were primarily beige and dark brown. It was completely furnished and high tech what considered technology, yet still maintained that rustic sphere.

Naruto would be lying if she said she didn't like it. In fact, she loved it and would probably have bought something like this herself if she had known about it. Maybe telling Mikoto about her dream-house hadn't been that good of an idea, since Naruto wasn't exactly used to receiving kindness like this. All through the house were strategically placed Uchiha crests, while Naruto had noticed that some of her new clothes held the same crest. Sasuke's piano had been placed upstairs in the game room, together with her violin, which was also a comfort.

Looking in the kitchen at the fine china and pots and pans, Naruto realized that the whole Uchiha family must have pitched together for the house and the furniture and all the rest. Still, that the costs were split, didn't help with making Naruto feel any better about herself. The least she could, was invite them over for a dinner to thank them. But not that day, when she and Sasuke were still getting used to not only the house, but also their new relationship status and coming back from their Hawaiian honeymoon.

"What do you want to eat tonight? Want me to cook something or just delivery?" Naruto asked and turned around to face her husband, who shrugged in answer. "Whatever. I'm fine with anything you choose" he said and Naruto nodded. "Then I'm making meatball spaghetti. I've been wanting to make it since the wedding" she said and Sasuke smiled. "How about we take a hot bath tonight? The bath is big enough for us both" Sasuke said and Naruto scoffed. "The bath is big enough for us and three others. What are you trying to say?" she said and Sasuke wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "I'm trying to say that we should get to know our house" he said and Naruto rolled with her eyes.

"Honestly, we just got back and found out that we have a castle and you have a car. Let me at least get used to the idea first before you start living out your fantasy of having sex on every surface" Naruto said and rolled with her eyes. "I swear, I'm surrounded by perverts" she said and Sasuke didn't deny it. He woke up the next morning to an empty big bed, slightly disoriented with his new environment. With a yawn, he sat up and looked. It didn't take him long to figure out where his companion was as he walked into the kitchen. Naruto was always in the kitchen. Whether it was to eat or to cook, didn't make any difference. This time it was to cook as Sasuke recognized the smell of eggs.

"Oh wow, you managed to get up on your own" Naruto joked as she smirked over her shoulder. "Scrambled eggs with a side of sarcasm, huh" Sasuke commented as he sat down at the kitchen island in the warm, red-ish wood with a beige marble countertop. The red wood of the kitchen island stood out against the beiger wood of the fridge and ovens behind him and the sink and working counter in front of him. But in a strange way, it worked. "You want some sass drizzled over the top, or will you be good with your eggs plain?" Naruto asked and Sasuke rolled with his eyes. Naruto chuckled as placed a plate in front of him as she sat down opposite of him with her own.

"Say, Sasuke, do you know if any of your family members have an allergy or something?" Naruto asked and Sasuke frowned at her. "I don't know. I'm sure mom knows. Why?" he asked and Naruto looked up at him as she put the salt shaker down. "Because I want to invite them over to thank them" she said and Sasuke looked up at her. "You don't need to do that" he said and Naruto frowned. "Sasuke, don't be an ass. They gave us a mansion as wedding gift. If I have to accept it, the least we can do is invite them over for dinner whenever they have time" she said and Sasuke shook his head lightly.

"I'm not being an ass, Naruto. I'm being realistic. The Uchiha's are not used to that kind of thing. For you, it will be an act of gratefulness, but the meaning it has will go completely over their head" Sasuke said and moved his eggs over his plate. "Remember, we're a family with a stick up our ass. A thanks like that will be useless and they won't understand it. If you really want to do something like thank them, you're better off with baking something and then delivering it like you did with Ojii-chan at your birthday. Giving a gift as thanks is something everyone understands, and it's still some of you put in it, since it's not just some card or something" he reasoned and Naruto sighed.

"Honestly, the Uchiha's are so troublesome" she said and Sasuke smirked. "You're one too now" he said and gave a pointed look at the wedding band and engagement ring that dangled from a separate necklace than her crystal. Naruto rolled with her eyes as she stood up, ready to start the dishes. "Honestly, though. I still need to know if there are any allergies in your family" she said and Sasuke shrugged. "I'll ask mom" he said and Naruto hummed. "Oh, and ask her when they have time to come over. Don't look like that. There is nothing wrong with inviting your parents over for dinner in your new house" she said, not even having to look back to see Sasuke's bland look.

"They're free this weekend" Sasuke said after a while and Naruto nodded. "Then, I'll have to look up some recipes, to see what we can serve them" she said and started thinking about it. A little while later, Naruto was baking a couple of brownie batches. And if there just happened to be baileys mixed into it, who was going to complain? Certainly not Naruto or Sasuke, who snacked on the rest of the batches after they delivered the ones intended as a thank you gift. When it was almost time for dinner, Sasuke went looking for his wife, still not exactly used to the house. He found her in the upstairs gaming room behind her special computer corner. He noticed no codes on her screen and was slightly amused by his own confusion. She wasn't always with her nose in codes, so his confusion shouldn't have been there in the first place.

"What're you doing?" he asked and Naruto looked up at him. "Stocks" she said and Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Really?" he asked and Naruto hummed. "I'm looking for something new to invest in" she said and Sasuke got closer, interested. As an Uchiha, he quite a bit about these things, he liked to think. "What about this one? Medicine always tend to do good" Sasuke said and Naruto glanced at him. "Yeah, but they are working together with Orochimaru. I'm not going to invest in that" she said and Sasuke frowned. "That's disturbing" he said and Naruto looked grim.

"You haven't even heard half of it" she muttered and Sasuke looked at her. "Can't tell. Government silenced me" Naruto said and closed off her computer. "Anyway, what do you want to eat?" she asked as she stood up. "Sausage" Sasuke said and Naruto hummed in thought as they walked back to the kitchen. "Then, sausage with carrot mashed potato" she said and looked at Sasuke. "I'm leaving the sausage to you" she said and Sasuke hummed. Thanks to Naruto he was more used to cooking, and frankly, he really enjoyed helping her in the kitchen, even if he didn't say it out loud or showed it.
