Dedication & Chapter Inspiration: XOne.By.OneX – not exactly involving a tent but yes SasuNaru & Kagome-Loves-Kouga- I kind of like the sound of SaiSaku :)

School is going to be really busy so updates may be slow but here's another chapter to keep you going XD

Naruto is Sasuke's property, not many people know this, but if Sai gets too close he's going to have an Uchiha to deal with. "Hn ... He is mine."

He Is Mine

Sasuke lay toward the outer edge of the tent compartment he was sharing with Naruto and Sai. After witnessing the incident at Konoha's main gate, he was concerned that Sai would attempt to steal his dobe right from under his nose. He therefore opted to stay awake and guard the blonde that slept between himself and the other compartment occupant.

"Naruto-kun looks so stunning when he is sleeping like this" Sai whispered studying the cute little position Naruto had curled up into. "Hn." Sasuke disagreed; to him Naruto was more than just 'stunning' when he slept. All the while he was thinking 'Yeah, you can look but you can't touch. Ass.'

"I would love to paint him some day… na-" Sasuke started, he was clearly not planning to sleep that night but that was taking it another step further. "Never. I won't ever let you paint Naruto naked!" The Uchiha hissed angrily.

"…Paint Naruto-kun…naked? ... That's an interesting idea"

"You're not going to paint Naruto at all end of subject!" The raven snapped.

Sai didn't seem to register why Sasuke was acting so defensively, he decided to venture further, "What are you? His over-protective brother?" his fake smiles adding to the Uchihas thinning temper.

"Hn, as a matter of fact I love Naruto more than a brother ever could. He is mine."

"Don't be silly Uchiha you can't own a person"

Next door Sakura groaned as their conversation grew in volume. Was it so hard to sleep in the same compartment as each other? Deciding to listen to their conversation didn't seem so bad; especially considering the sound of Sasuke's voice put all kinds of thoughts into Sakura's fan girlish mind.

"Hn, you're right I can't own 'a' person. But Naruto isn't just 'a' person. He is my person"

"I don't see your name written on him"

Sasuke grinned a little in the dark at this. His name wasn't written on the blonde boy but he had definitely left his mark many a time. "-but then again I don't see why someone would want to go around with 'Duck-butt' written on their body."

A growl scratched the silence from the Uchiha side of the tent. "You're this close to sleeping outside!"

"Oh no. I'm going to have to sleep outside. What will I do?" Sai replied in a sarcastic monotone. "…Tell me, how do you own Naruto-kun if your name is not written on him?"

Sakura felt hot and flustered curled up in her sleeping bag. She eased her muscles to move them to the cooler end of the sleeping bag. What was this feeling? 'Sasuke-kun owns Naruto? Haha they must mean fighting wise ha, ha, ha, of course that's what they mean, after all Sasuke-kun always wins fights against Naruto ha, ha. Damn this fan girl inside of me!'

"Hn…The answer's simple, but I don't feel like telling you…"

They both fell silent and soon Sai was asleep leaving only the raven awake to guard his dobe who was lying with his adorable little face resting on his hand.

--

The morning following the tiresome night for the Uchiha was complicated in many ways. Firstly Sakura had gotten up creating a din as she scrambled out of the tent. Naruto had rolled over and was now lying on top of him, effectively pinning him to the floor. This was one thing that the raven did enjoy out of the recent events that had happened.

"Mmm…huh? Sasuke-teme you look …awful?" Naruto observed the raven's weary features.

"…Dobe" Sasuke yawned pulling the blonde, back against his body. "Are you ill teme? Maybe I should take you back to the village and then I'll come back and finish the mission"

"No! … I'll be fine…" Sasuke hadn't been sitting awake all night just to see Sai win, maybe it was a new possessive wave taking over. He had used a lot of chakra up by keeping his Sharingan awakened ready to catch Sai in the act, which of course never happened. He had seen the mysterious ninja's hand sneak towards Naruto but there was nothing more than that.

It was a breath of relief as they came to a halt outside the enormous doors leading into the palace. Sasuke was on the verge of sleeping where he stood, propped up against one of the tall pillars.

"Come on teme, hehe anyone would think you were up all night"

"Hn"

The four of them were shown into the main building and were presented before the priestess whom addressed the situation with such enthusiasm.

"Welcome to my humble palace. I have heard about the unfortunate event regarding the carriage and bandits but I am all the more glad that you still managed to make it to my wedding!" She spoke more to Sakura than the others.

It was a good thing too as the Uchiha could barely keep his eyes open. It was one thing to stay awake for nights on end and still be fit for anything but it was difficult to stay awake when one was sat in cosy room that was at the perfect temperature.

"Sakura-san, you must be tired from your long journey however, well we didn't anticipate that there would be so many of you and we only have two rooms available to you."

"Its ok ma'am, we don't mind sharing rooms"

"In that case Sakura-san you can have the smaller room to yourself and the three gentlemen can have the larger room. Although there is only one king sized bed but I'll let you sort that out" The priestess giggled and continued

"As you know the wedding is in no less than four hours away and damn these superstitions that I can't see my soon-to-be-husband before the wedding! So rest up and be ready to join the celebrations"

Sai looked confused and queried "Wouldn't that mean your wedding is at midnight?"

"Oh yes, it'll be so wonderful at midnight in the courtyard!" She waved her hand and they were all shown out of the room. The boys parted with Sakura and opened the door to their room.

"So who gets the bed?" Sasuke pushed past Sai into the large bedroom and flopped onto the bed. "We do. Now dobe get over here" Naruto also pushed past Sai and joined the raven on the soft bed.

"Wow this bed is so soft! Sai you should try it" Sai moved over but the look on the Uchiha's face was enough to scare water out of a pond. "Um… it's ok I'll have the sofa instead"

Sasuke sighed peaceful and relaxed he was drifting off when he heard Naruto yelp from the en-suite bathroom. "Sai! What the hell!? Damnit get out!"

"Relax Naruto-kun, it's not like I'm going to pull out ink and paper and start painting you. It's not like anything I haven't seen before…although you're probably on the small side-" He felt himself get yanked out of the doorway. "What did I tell you last night!?" Sasuke snarled.

"Easy, Duck-butt I wasn't painting him, I was getting inspiration-"

"Inspiration!? You were watching him in the fricking shower!" Sasuke was yelling now, what with this guy of similar resemblance to him, trying to steal his dobe. "I merely went to use the facilities but Naruto-kun was already present in there"

Sasuke grabbed him by the collar, eyes flashing a dangerous red "Ok listen here, you don't touch Naruto, you don't look at Naruto in that way, you don't paint Naruto, you don't so much as breathe Naruto. Got it."

"What if he's with you?"

"If he's with me, then you've got no chance." He let Sai go and walked to the bathroom where Naruto was busy towel drying himself while muttering insults and curses about Sai. "Hey what the- Oh Sasuke-teme it's you" he didn't notice the extra presence till the fabric of Sasuke's shirt stuck to his still wet back, and arms looped around his waist.

"Dobe…I'm tired…"

"Yeah and I'm all wet so let go so I can finish" A smirk pressed against his neck "I need to shower as well dobe…"

"Don't worry I didn't use all the hot water" Sighing Sasuke let go and attempted to take the shirt off over his head but it got caught. Naruto grinned, "I see what you're doing"

"Hn. Yeah? Well then what happens next?" Still grinning Naruto complied with the raven's wish.

--

"Sai? What happened to you? You look pale-er" Sakura now dressed in a bright pink kimono decorated with cherry blossoms came towards him. "Nothing I just had a run in with Duck-butt"

"Sai, you have to stop calling Sasuke-kun that. If not you're going to get beaten to a pulp!"

"Hai…" Sakura took his hand. "…If you want you can catch a couple hours of sleep in my room. I'm going to wander around and have a look at the palace. Meet me in the main hall though" She smiled and left him standing dumbstruck outside her room.

It was an hour before the wedding when Sai woke again, he had taken Sakura's kind offer of sleeping in her room but now it was time to see what the Uchiha and Naruto were up to.

He found them lying cuddled together on the king sized bed, in nought but their bath towels. 'Well Duck-butt said I couldn't paint Naruto-kun…but they're together so I suppose it's ok…there's an hour left and they'd make such an inspiring painting'

Settling down on the sofa, Sai pulled out his paints and sketchbook and began drawing up a new masterpiece.

"….Sasuke…I think it's time to get up now…" Naruto mumbled feeling Sasuke's grip twitch a little. "...Just a little longer dobe…"

"Yes just five minutes more, I'm nearly finished" Two sets of eyes flashed open. 'Was that…?' 'No I swear it was…?' The couple lifted their heads to the sound of the voice.

Sai was in mid brush stroke. "Why did you move? I nearly had it complete…why are you staring at me like that?"

The door slammed behind him as he was forcefully removed from the room. Dusting his clothes off, Sai got up and walked to the main hall where Sakura had indicated she would be.

It wasn't long before Sasuke and Naruto exited their room fully dressed and acting like nothing had happened.

"Well dobe you look smart"

"So do you Sasuke-teme- Wait you have a few hairs stuck up and out of place" The blonde reached up and combed the raven spikes back into place with his fingers.

Naruto nodded linking his arm with Sasukes "So, ready?"

"Hn."

They pushed open the main hall door to see the place lit up with lights and full of gathering people heading towards the courtyard.

"Here goes"

A\N: I couldn't add everything requested by my inspirers but that'll be for another chapter XD Did the SasuNaru work well with the possessive triangle between Sasuke, Naruto and Sai?

Don't worry SasuNaru is the main couple here, who knows next chapter we may see SaiSaku?

Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy Fanfic Reading!
