Okay, here's the last chapter!
Enjoy!
The wedding went smoothly, as did the honeymoon. But once the wedded pair returned home, Mitsuki discovered something that troubled her.
Naruto wasn't happy that she'd married Sasuke, nor that she taken his proposal so lightly. He had spent this time training and challenged Sasuke to a fight to the death. Whoever lived would get to have Mitsuki.
"You idiot, why would I agree to those conditions?" Sasuke mocked, crossing his arms. "Mitsuki is already my wife. In fact, she's already told me that she's expecting our first child. If, by the off chance, that you beat me, I would lose more than you would. A loving wife and a daughter or son. And why would I want to kill you, when I have no need to?"
Mitsuki nodded in agreement. But there was something else that bothered her, but she didn't have the heart to tell Sasuke. Before his death, Itachi had frozen all the experiences they had together and they would only unfreeze when she was done with having the child he knew in his gut wasn't his. He'd told her that it didn't matter what she did, her next child would be his. But since he almost had the same genes as Sasuke, she took advantage of the fact that the child would be half-Uchiha and look a certain way, since her dead lover and husband were blood brothers.
"Why would you turn down a challenge?!" Naruto demanded, eyes narrowing. "Are you scared?!"
Sasuke snorted. "Not remotely. My dream of reviving my clan is living inside Mitsuki, so why would I risk losing it? My clan has been avenged now that Itachi is dead, so my other ambition isn't going to be anything but reality. So I refuse to take your bait into a death match."
Naruto growled and yelled, "SASUKE! YOU COWARD!"
Sasuke started to retort, when Mitsuki put a hand on his arm. "Naruto, there is a difference between prudence and cowardice. If you thought about it, if you were in Sasuke's place, would you risk everything in a mere fight? Or would you refuse?"
Naruto fumed, but didn't say anything else as Sasuke took his wife on their daily stroll, which he'd interrupted.
Life went on, and Naruto fell in love with Sakura, but even when they were married, his thoughts often strayed to his first love. Sakura may have been his first crush, but Mitsuki would always have a place in his heart. And he knew he would always have a place in hers.
End!
