The next chapter is up. I am hyper at the moment but thinking about this story and the last chapter made me sad. I always loved reviews and they power me up after each chapter. I feel all weak inside knowing you guys hate the last chapter. T-T

But thank you to those who did review my boring chapter! xD Gotta say this, rokudaime09 no they cannot have their own babies while I'm still working on this story with the storyline I have. Hmm, maybe I'll make a short drabble when I finish this story. ^^ Hehe, I got an idea from you and it's totally unrelated to this story. xD

mangaromance, I just wanna type this for you : O_O I seriously did not see a review like that happening...but I see your point. xDDD

This chapter finally exploits the possibility of last chapter so have fun reading it okay. Have fun reading!

Disclaimer: Not mine they are as much as I want them to be. I'd be killed by the other fans first. Masashi Kishimoto owns them. T^T

Warning: MxM/ no lemon this chaper/ shouting...

"Father," Sasuke called respectfully at the man who was busy dealing with paper works.

"What is it Sasuke?" Fugaku replied without looking up at his youngest son. "I'm busy right now and I have a flight to catch in an hour. Make it brief. What is it about?" Fugaku asked as he handled the papers on his desk.

"It's Naruto." That made Fugaku pause at his work and looked up at his son.

"What's wrong with him? He looked fine yesterday at lunch." Itachi asked as he entered his father's study.

"He's fine. I have something to ask from father," Sasuke said to his brother. Fugaku stared at his son for a while before urging him to continue silently.

"I want to set up a rule for Naruto."

"Let's hear it," Fugaku nodded and inside he knew his son will get what he wants.

Three different 'what's echoed in three different places at three different times but all in the same day. The first came from the Namikaze's Residence.

"What?" Kyuubi shouted after his mother relayed the message her best friend Uchiha Mikoto had just told her. "What do you mean? What are you talking about? Why did they do that!" Kyuubi shouted some more.

"I'm sorry sweetie, Miko-chan just told me about it just now on the phone. I didn't know about this and neither did your father. They just came out with the decision this morning and got it circulated over the complex just now," Kushina said worriedly. She was concerned too about her baby boy but there was nothing she could do. Her husband would tell her to stay out of their matter so why bother?

"Just drop it Kyuubi. He's part of the Uchihas now," Kushina tried to calm her firstborn.

"But that's not fair. We're still family for Kami's sakes," Kyuubi almost tore at his hair in his frustration. He very much hated the idea of his baby brother alone with that family, not everyone though. He's comforted by the fact that his mother's best friend was there to accompany his brother. "Gosh I hope he'd be fine there." Kushina nodded in agreement.

"WHAT?" This exclamation was louder since it was a group that shouted it. Kiba, Sakura and Ino were the ones who screamed, Chouji and Hinata had their mouth's gaping while Neji and Shikamaru frowned as they all stood in front of the Uchiha Complex. One of the captains of the guards told them that they couldn't come anymore and why that was so.

"This isn't possible! That bastard would do just about anything wouldn't he?" Kiba growled.

"That stupid Uchiha!" both Ino and Sakura screamed together.

"That man is a blind jealous," Neji hissed while Hinata sobbed in his arms.

"We f-finally g-get to see h-him," Hinata sobbed. Both Hyuuga had yet to see Naruto since his wedding and they were finally allowed to have a vacation. Of course their first agenda was to see their newlywed friend only find that they weren't allowed entry.

"Ceh, let's just leave. There's no use standing here anymore. They're not going to let us in," Shikamaru's voice was colored with annoyance but not at his friends. They all knew his irritation was aimed at a certain Uchiha. Grumbling and hissing and growling they agreed to leave, except for Chouji. He sighed in disappointment.

No food today either…

"What?" Naruto slammed his hands onto the picnic table in the large garden right in the middle of the complex. He was beyond shocked. He was expecting himself to be outraged but what he felt was closer to lost. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe Sasuke would do it to him. He couldn't believe Sasuke was this serious. Was he insane? What was he thinking! How could he!

"I'm sorry Naruto," Sai apologized. "I thought you knew. I thought he told you about it. I'm really sorry," Sai apologized again. He seriously thought Naruto knew. He thought it Sasuke told Naruto about it and they both agreed on the matter. He never thought Sasuke would do something without telling Naruto. And they looked so happy when they were in their honeymoon period.

Naruto was trying hard to keep the tears at bay. He was angry finally. Why? Why? Why did he do this to me? Don't I matter at all? Fuuuuuuuck! Naruto's thoughts were jumbled but he was clearly angry. Sasuke was at work at the time and Naruto thought he'd spend some time away from their house and explore the complex. Since he knew he'd get lost he asked Sai to accompany him. He never expected the man to have bad news to share with him.

It had only been a week since their not-so-discussion talk and Naruto had not been speaking to his husband ever since. Sasuke had also given him the cold shoulder treatment and refused to take back what he said. Naruto had thought the man may need time to see his point of view…seems like it's a lost cause. He knew the man never went back on his words but come on! That was not his decision to make alone! Rule-wise yes but Naruto was no item. He's a person damnit!

"Naruto? Are you going to be alright?" Sai asked worriedly. He had never seen Naruto that upset before and mind you he had seen his fair share in Whirlpool country. "Naruto-kun, are you alright? I'm going to call for a doctor if you don't answer me."

"Shut it Sai. I'm furious right now," Naruto's eyes were on fire. He can't accept this overreaction of Sasuke at all. If he wants an overreaction I'll give him one! Naruto shouted in his head. His scowl showed how very livid he was and Sai backed away a few steps.

Uh oh, there's gonna be bloodshed today, Sai thought as he gulped. Naruto didn't wait to see what Sai was doing when he got up and stomped away anger. I better warn someone, he thought frantically before leaving to find his group leader.

"Sai-san, where are you heading too?" Itachi stopped the rushing pale man. Sai stopped and bowed his head respectfully.

"Itachi-sama," Sai called. "I was about to find Kakashi-sensei. I'm afraid Naruto-kun is out of his mind at the moment and might kill someone." Sai explained briefly. Maybe it would help to have Itachi knowing. After all he's the elder brother of Naruto's source of ire and maybe he could stop an all out war between the two.

"I see," was all Itachi had to say before he left Sai standing where he was. Sai sighed as the man left. He rolled his eyes once and head back to his original purpose.

"What is the meaning of this Sasuke? Why did you ban people from coming to see me? Fucking why Sasuke!" Naruto was screaming at the top of his lungs the moment Sasuke stepped inside their house. Sasuke didn't need to be a genius to know what Naruto was talking about. The order was barely out and Naruto was already well aware. Sai, he sighed inwardly.

"I don't need to explain myself to you," Sasuke's icy answer. He took of his shoes and calmly walked pass the raging Naruto.

"What the fuck! Stop right there Sasuke! I'm talking to you!" Naruto stomped after him. Sasuke winced inside again. He really hated that Naruto used his given name when shouting at him. It shows that the blond was really livid rather than just annoyed.

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Bullshit," Naruto spat. "If you don't have anything to say to me then you wouldn't have asked your father to make that fucking rule. Stop right there you coward!" And Sasuke stopped. He was angry now.

"The fuck Naruto!" Sasuke whipped around to face the raging blond. His face livid just as Naruto's were.

"You, you think I'm some kind of decoration around your house? A thing? Well fuck you Uchiha! I am a goddamn person you asshole! I have feelings! I get hurt when you do stuff like this and not give me a good reason for it!" Naruto shouted.

"So what? You never listen to what I want! I told you not to see them and you still want to meet them! How am I supposed to react? You were begging to be treated like a thing!"

"You never gave me a chance to compromise! I never even got to do what you want because you enforced them on me! You told me what you wanted and before I could do it you go make shit like asking your father to make a law just like the shit you just pulled! I am trying to understand you, you fucking prick, but you won't let me!"

"You know what Uzumaki, I'm just going to walk away. I don't have to explain a single shit to you. You forgot that you are part of the Uchiha now and our words bind you just as much as they bind me. Be angry all you want but none of your shits going to matter because you are now part of the Uchiha." Sasuke growled at the blond before really moving away from him and head for their bedroom.

Naruto let the words sink into him and he literally sunk to the floor. Is this what it means to be an Uchiha? To have everything enforced into you? Naruto thought with dismay. I really can't have a choice? The tears he tried to hold back before was freely running down his face.

Naruto didn't bother about dinner. He was too busy crying in the kitchen to care. Sasuke didn't bother to find him either. Hungry as he was he won't beg for Naruto to cook, though Naruto's cooking was to die for. Not the point. As long as Naruto wasn't seeing his point he won't say a word to the blond.

The next few days were like déjà-vu. Naruto was avoiding Sasuke like a plague much like the time they were at Whirlpool country only this time Sasuke felt no compulsion to seek his blond.

They didn't sleep in the same room anymore, or in the same quarter for that matter. The last time it was Naruto who left but this time Sasuke was the one who started the avoidance. The Uchiha had taken back his old room in the main house. Naruto only followed his example after he figured out that Sasuke was avoiding him.

"It hurts," Naruto admitted one day. He was in the backyard of their house with none other than Sai, his best friend. Make that his only friend within the Uchiha Complex who is not an Uchiha.

"Do you hate him?" said friend asked. Naruto shook his head.

"I don't but that's the reason why it hurts so much," Naruto tear up again but he was determined not to cry anymore, at least for that day. He had broken time several times the day before and his eyes were red and swollen. He looked ugly.

"He hurts you a lot of time yet you won't hate him? You must be a masochist," Sai meant that as a joke but he knew in Naruto's current condition jokes won't make an impact. Naruto shook his again.

"Not 'won't', I can't," Naruto corrected. "I'm in too deep no." Naruto said before burying his face in his arms again. He sobbed. Sai sighed. He got up from in front of Naruto and plopped down besides the blond.

"I honestly say I don't get you. He's been mean to you the moment he knew you yet you still manage to fall in love with him," Sai said looking up to the sky. It was a cloudy day with signs of rain coming.

"What?" Naruto asked looking at his best friend with shock in his eyes. Sai was surprised at the blonds' tone and a bit confused at what he meant. "The thing you just said, what was it again?"

"I said he was mean to you from the start but you still love him," Sai repeated slowly unsure of what the blond was looking for. Naruto abruptly got up and left Sai there with a very puzzled look on his face.

Love? That's impossible. I don't love him, Naruto thought furiously. But I don't hate him either, he thought in retort. I mean I like him a lot but I can't possibly be in love with him. Like Sai said, he's been mean to me from the start and had only been nice after that storm. Naruto thought back about the last week of their honeymoon and smiled sadly. He was such a different man after that. He was so kind and caring and loving…oh no, Naruto abruptly stopped from the pacing he's been doing unconsciously in the guest bedroom where he had taken refuge.

He had never thought of it that way before. Sasuke had been so nice to him ever since that he had gotten emotionally deep with the man. He never intended it to go that way. He only wanted to be close to the raven. Things should never had turned out that way. It was much too soon too.

No, I can't, I refuse! No! Naruto sat down on the floor with his face between his legs and rocked himself. He felt like he might go crazy with everything that has happened. No, he begged in his mind. I don't want it. It hurts already without it, Naruto pleaded. He was crying again.

I don't want to love him yet.

"Today marks the fifth day since you moved back into the main house Sasuke. Are you not worried about your Naruto?" Itachi asked. They were having dinner. Fugaku had taken Mikoto out to celebrate his return from work after being gone for so long so it was only the brothers at the table that evening.

"He's not going anywhere," Sasuke answered curtly.

"Yes but he is spending more time with that Sai. Weren't you unsecure about that man being around Naruto-kun before?" Itachi pursued.

"Sai is not interested in Naruto," Sasuke answered in the same manner as before.

"You trust him?" Itachi was genuinely curious. Sasuke shot him a glare showing he was annoyed with the bombardment of questions.

"No." He said with finality meaning to stop the conversation then and there but Itachi wouldn't have any of it.

"Then why let Naruto-kun spend time with him right now? I gathered you two fought a while back but won't it make Naruto easier to fall prey to those who likes him just as you do?" Itachi questioned. Sasuke froze inside. He never really thought about it that way. The blond was easily influenced after all and he had the attention span of a goldfish. But, he knew that Naruto won't just like someone else like he likes Sasuke. He just can't explain how he knows it.

"Nothing like that would happen," Sasuke said in a bored tone knowing his brother won't stop anytime soon. Itachi was eyeing his brother. One would suspect him thinking that Sasuke had lost his mind or something but what Itachi thought was far from that.

"You trust him." He stated. Sasuke really paused his action and gave a full blown glare to his brother. Him not saying anything told Itachi that Sasuke was toying with the idea himself even if he doesn't believe it.

"I do not." And with that Sasuke was determined to tune out everything except his food. Itachi knew Sasuke won't say a word anymore so he returned to his food. What Sasuke didn't know was Itachi was planning something as he ate and that plan revolved around Naruto.

I don't know whether or not this chapter is interesting, I was feeling quite loss writing it. Point out to me if I messed up with something. I'm obsessed with details. So,

RnR please! They fuel my insanity! Dx
