Test 11: I release thee from thy spell
"Naruto! Something is wrong with Sasuke!!"
When Naruto reached his chambers, the sight that greeted him made his blood boil with anger, and his heart clench spasmodically. Whomever did this to his Sasuke will pay!!
"Sasuke!! Talk to me! What's wrong??!!" hugging his wife on the floor, Naruto wiped tears away from Sasuke's face. He was surprised when Sasuke reached for his face and kissed his breath away. On reflex, Naruto grasped the back of the Uchiha's neck and deepened the kiss.
Sasuke gasped as he broke their kiss. Naruto's eyes had taken a dark blue colour, lust swimming in them.
"Sasuke…wha?"
"Naruto, tell me you love me," Naruto jerked back to stare at his wife. His eyes hardened and his hand tightened on the young Uchiha's petite slim waist.
"Sasuke..don't,"
"Please, just tell me you love me. Even if you don't mean it…I just want to hear it," Sasuke pleaded, his eyes teary once more.
"I can't,"
"Even as a friend?"
"…."
"As another human being?"
"Please Sasuke. This is foolish," Naruto stared his wife down. In that instant Sasuke snapped and pushed Naruto away.
"It matters to me!!" Sasuke shouted before running out. He had to get out of here! Seeing Naruto hurts too much.
"SASUKE!!" Naruto sped off after his love. "Stop him! Stop Sasuke!" signalling to nearby guards, Sasuke evaded their reach and jumped on the high walls to disappear behind it.
"Lee!!" Naruto shouted and Lee appeared in an instant.
"Yes, my lord?"
"Sasuke is heading for his house! Stop him before he gets there," Naruto huffed. Lee was the fastest out of all of them, so if anyone had a chance of catching up to Sasuke it would be him.
"As you wish," Lee sped off to follow the lord's orders. In the meanwhile Naruto went to seek Kyuubi. Unbeknownst to him, the baby jaguar also sped off to follow Lee after hearing the commotion. Something must have happened for Sasuke to run away like that. And Itachi knew that it has to be Naruto's fault.
It was always Naruto's fault.
Sasuke could see his house looming in. Just a bit more and he would be safe behind known territory. He could seek refuge with his family. Just as he was about to take the last corner, Lee intercepted him and held him in his grip.
"Lee??!! Let go of me!!"
"Sasuke, I was ordered by the lord to capture you and return you to him,"
"I don't want to see him! Please, let me go!!"
"I can't Sasuke, those are my orders," Lee began to pull the Uchiha back to the castle. Sasuke struggled whole heartedly in Lee's powerful grasp.
"Let go! Let go!! ANIKI!!!"
"I am sure you're misunderstanding will be resolved if you would just listen to Naruto," Lee tried to reason with the struggling Uchiha. Sasuke renewed his vigour.
"It's not a misunderstanding! Since the beginning he was jut selfishly keeping me!"
"Sasuke..," Lee started.
"I don't want to hear it! ANIKI!! ANIKI!! ANIKI!!"
"Please Sasuke,"
"ANIKII!!!"
"Release my brother," Itachi dropped in front of the duo. Lee snapped his attention to the genius of their time. Still holding onto Sasuke, Lee calculated his chances of getting out of there unscathed, and the odds doesn't look pretty.
"Uchiha Itachi, it is my duty to follow my lord's orders," Lee reasoned.
"And it is my duty to answer my brother's call," Itachi's eyes bled the mangekyou sharingan, the mot powerful form of their bloodline lineage.
"Aniki! No! don't hurt Lee!" Sasuke was able to break free of Lee's grip and ran to his brother. "He doesn't have a choice!"
"Very well, listen here Lee. Naruto has done something terrible to my brother, or else he wouldn't be so desperate to get away. You know very well he isn't the cowardly type," Itachi stated and carried his brother to their house. Lee watched as Sasuke cried on his brother's shoulder and whispered to him silently.
"I'm sorry Lee, I can't go back," Lee nodded and left to tell Naruto the news. It was useless to fight against Itachi anyway, the man so strong, that even the last emperor had troubles beating him.
Naruto is not going to like it.
"Sasuke, what happened?" Itachi had placed Sasuke on his bed, his parents had been notified since Lee and Itachi encountered in the Uchiha district. Anytime now, his father would break the door down and…
BANG!!
"What is going on??! Why is Sasuke home crying??!" Fugaku's voice boomed from the door. Mikoto gasped and rushed to Sasuke when she saw her baby boy shedding silent tears on the bed.
"Itachi?!" Fugaku barked.
"They got into a fight. That's all that I know," Itachi replied.
"Sasuke, sweetie. What happened? Did Naruto do something wrong?" Mikoto urged her youngest to tell them what was wrong. If things are not handled carefully, this matter could get ugly.
"I'm sorry mother, I tried very hard to stay strong… but Naruto he, he doesn't love me!! And I try so very hard to accept it," Sasuke whispered. Itachi and Fugaku seethed at hearing the information.
"What??! So this whole marriage was a ploy?!" Fugaku hollered.
"Did he force you to being his wife?" Itachi calmly stated, but only god knew how angry he was with the issue.
"No! That's not it! I mean, in the beginning it was like that…but I love Naruto! I married him because I wanted to!" Sasuke protested. It didn't change the fact that Naruto did force him in the first place.
"And now, even after I told myself countless times, it still hurts when he doesn't say he loves me," Sasuke clutched his heart, his mother also shedding tears for her son's unrequited love. "It hurts too much…make it stop!" Sasuke begged. His heart was beating too hard against his rib cage.
Itachi stepped in front of his brother and lifted his chin so that Sasuke would face him. His sharingan spinning, Itachi murmured a few words and let his brother drift off to slumber. Tears were still slipping pass his closed eyelids, and Itachi clenched his fists at seeing his brother so hurt.
"I knew there was something wrong about this wedding," Fugaku hissed.
"Naruto will regret the day he forced Sasuke into this fake relationship," Itachi retorted.
"Alert the rest of the clan. If the Uzumaki's think they can get away with this, then they are wrong," Fugaku ordered as the rest of the main family nodded.
"What?? Itachi took Sasuke away??!" Naruto exclaimed. How dare he interfere with their marriage!
"I'm sorry Naruto," Lee bowed, regretting his failure.
"It's okay Lee. It was right for you to not fight," Naruto stated. Why did this happen now of all times?! His challenge ended tomorrow night, and Sasuke just had to force him to say I love you!
"I'm going there to bring Sasuke back," Naruto left the circle to see Kyuubi. Hopefully the demon has news for him.
"I heard that the Uchihas are gathering," Neji supplied. The circle gasped. When Uchihas get together something big is about to happen.
"Could it be possible that Naruto did something really stupid?" Ino asked.
Kiba huffed "Naruto is always saying weird and stupid things,"
"Speaking of weird, did Sasuke ask any of you a question recently?" Sakura asked back. Kiba looked at her before answering.
"Yeah, he was asking me whether Naruto had ever said I love you or not to me," Kiba answered.
"That's is so weird! I got the same question!"
"Me too!"
"Same here,"
"If you're still on the weird issue, Gaara's retort to every what your opinion question should be the winner," Kiba snickered. Sakura chuckled as well, agreeing with her friend. The threesome comment always made her day. Kind to think of it, the threesome comment always follow when someone asks Gaara what he thinks….
"Oh my god! Guys!" Sakura shouted. She was able to put things together now. The weird atmosphere, Gaara's threesome comments, Shika's hugs, Shino's praise of Naruto being sexy, and Neji's ass spanking infatuation! These guys were the ones to follow Sasuke and Naruto on their journey almost a month ago. She proceeded to tell them what she thought.
"So you guys were asked to pay something in return for Sasuke's resurrection!" Ten Ten gasped. The guys in question looked at each other, surprised to hear the possibility that the others too, had their own challenge. Though it would be the most logical explanation in the first place, but hey, people change all the time.
Nonetheless, they had sworn to not tell anything about their challenge, so keeping quiet was the best way to deal. The girls were about to pester them some more when clapping could be heard.
"Bravo, girls, bravo," the gods had assembled before them, clapping out of joy.
"You figured it out!"
"Nicely done!"
"A little late but good job,"
"As what young Haruno suggested, yes, each of them received a challenge," the gods started their explanation.
"Nara here has to greet Sasuke with a hug and a 'can I have a hug, pwease?',"
"Hyuuga's was every time someone asks him what he wanted to do he had to answer ' I want to spank that ass',"
"I think you all know what Sabaku's was,"
"That threesome comment?" Hinata took a stab.
"Well done young heiress,"
"And Aburame had to greet Naruto with 'Naruto, your ____ is so sexy, where he fills the blank appropriately," the gods explained.
"Since these smart girls figured it out, you are all free from your challenges even though it isn't a month yet," Shikamaru, Shino, Neji and Gaara felt a shiver went through their body and realized that they are released from the spell.
"So what are Naruto's and Sasuke's?" Sakura insisted.
"Oh?"
"Don't play dumb, if these guys had challenges, then Naruto and Sasuke surely would have one too," Sakura huffed irritated.
"Very well young Haruno, it is true, both Naruto and Sasuke had challenges," the gods replied.
"But a different kind of challenge,"
"Sasuke's was to reply every who question from Naruto with either 'Gaara, Sai, Itachi or Kakashi',"
"Oh man, that's gotta suck if Naruto asks who he likes or some crap like that," Kiba whistled.
"If Naruto asks when he has to reply 'very soon' OR 'not in this lifetime, douchebag',"
"This is becoming more crack by the minute," Chouji muttered.
"And if Naruto asks why he has to answer 'because I think his manboobs are sexy' or 'I am rendered helpless when he gazes at me with those smexy eyes',"
"What is this, a comedy?!" Kiba hollered.
"However, the ultimate challenge lies with Naruto. His first task was to make Sasuke his wife,"
"That is so not a task," Sakura and the rest nodded.
"His second challenge was that he would randomly grab Sasuke's Uchiha jewels,"
"Please, you're doing him a favour," Shikamaru drawled.
"And the last was, he can never say 'I love you',"
"What?" Sakura was sure she had heard them wrong.
"That was the challenge and I must say, he has stuck through," the gods smiled.
" If Naruto can't say I love you, then I know what's going on," Neji said. The gang turned to him, letting the gods leave their presence. One more challenge has to be issued.
"I think everyone knows that Sasuke loves Naruto," Neji began.
"Yes, go on," Ino urged.
"So if Naruto was not allowed to say he loves Sasuke, then he surely would have forced Sasuke to marry him," Neji continued.
"I guess so," his fiancé agreed. That was such a Naruto thing to do.
"Now, being Sasuke, I believe he would agree to marry Naruto, seeing that he loves the man anyway,"
"Of course!" Shikamaru got what happened as well. Neji glared at the young Nara, angry that someone had realized it before he finish his theory.
"Can I can continue? Ahem. But, Naruto can't say he loves Sasuke, so when Sasuke heard Naruto say I love you to someone else, he must have thought Naruto didn't love him," Neji finished.
"And then he went asking us all and we each replied Naruto told us that he loved us as a friend…," Sakura pieced everything together.
"Oh My God!" They collectively gasped and scrambled to stop Naruto.
