Throwing open the door, Naruto nearly shouted, "There ya are, you bastard! Hinata and I were beginning to think you weren't going to show up!"
"Tch."
"Ah, come on, man." Resisting the urge to punch the glowering Uchiha in the arm, the Uzumaki turned his attention to the equally as raven haired female standing beside him when he noticed she had rolled her eyes at his response. Her fond smile for the emotionally constipated bastard was nearly contagious, and he knew that she really was the best thing to ever happen to the stubborn prick. The little miko was like her own little ray of sunshine, and it was obvious that after everything that had happened to him that that year-long solo mission really paid off for Sasuke, in the end, if only because he had found her while traveling around. "We barely ever see you guys!"
Sasuke stuffed his hands in his pockets, muttering, "Some of us actually have things to do other than follow the Hokage around all day, dobe."
"Sasuke-teme," he growled back, before turning his attention back to the young woman now shaking her head at them. "Honestly, you can't just keep letting him lock you up in that stuffy old compound, Kagome-chan! That place even gives me the creeps."
Kagome quickly looked down and away from him, her face immediately darkening in color, as she chuckled nervously at the thought of that "stuffy old compound" and what exactly happened there when Sasuke "locked her up." Sneaking a peek up at the Uchiha beside her, she suddenly felt the need to fan herself when she noticed the look he was giving her from the corner of his eye at the very same thought. "Uh," she coughed, "I really don't mind, um… being there. I already cleansed the grounds, so it's really not that creepy anymore. It's quite peaceful, though it definitely needs some, uh… some work."
Naruto's eyebrows went up at the smirk that crossed Sasuke's face then, as his eyes flared briefly with the Sharingan and stared pointedly down at the blush disappearing into the neckline of Kagome's pretty kimono. He sputtered a little in the doorway when Sasuke leaned over without hesitation to lightly caress her ear with his mouth, uncaring of the fact they had an audience to his rare display of affection.
Teasingly, his voice soft, Sasuke breathed, "We could always skip this and lock you up some more."
Kagome ducked her head down, giggling like mad, and it made her bright blue eyes sparkle.
"Ack!" Naruto stuck his tongue out almost immediately, gagging, "Don't do that in front of me, you bastard!"
"What?" Sasuke grinned at him in a rather dark fashion, his eyes shifting until they were devilishly red again. His arm snaking around Kagome's waist, he pulled her into his side and tilted his head on top of her own. The slight nuzzle clearly made Naruto even more uncomfortable, and he almost could not stop himself from teasing him just a little more. "Kagome's right, after all. The compound still needs a little work with all those empty homes," he shifted his mouth close to her ear again, lowering his voice, "and I know just how to fill them up."
Unable to stop the giggles that escaped her, Kagome batted his chest lightly. "Stop it!"
"Oh, god, that's so gross," Naruto whined. Despite being happy the idiot was acting like he had more than just a stick stuck up his ass twenty-four seven, the Uzumaki did not want to think about what said idiot was doing behind closed doors at home. So, throwing his hand out in aggravation, he tried to toss the embarrassment back at his best friend. "Can't you go five minutes without trying to undress Kagome-chan with your eyes? Heck, I'm almost scared to let you come in. You'll probably just throw her into one of my closets and try to have your way with her by the time dinner is done!"
"Ah." Sasuke wasted little time sweeping Kagome off her feet and up into his arms. Shaking his head, he sighed, "I guess we'll just have to go home then."
"S-Sasuke, put me down!" she laughed in response.
"W-what?!" Naruto sputtered, but the Uchiha was already turning on his heel and walking in the opposite direction. Feeling his own face start to flush with the knowledge that Sasuke intended to return to his self-imposed isolation alongside the blue eyed young woman he had brought home with him several months ago, he tried really hard not to think about what they would be doing once they got there. "Sasuke-teme, get back here!"
Sasuke never even turned around, as he called over his shoulder, "See you later, dobe!"
"You bastard, you promised!"
"Sasuke!" Even Kagome's cry was lost on the wind, however, as they seemingly vanished with a burst of chakra before she had the chance to truly change the Uchiha's mind.
Shaking his head at the now empty doorway, Naruto sighed. "So close…"
A quiet giggle from behind him pulling his attention to his smiling wife, Hinata lightly patted him on the shoulder once she was close enough to look out into the emptiness herself. "T-they almost made it inside this time," she said encouragingly.
Naruto found himself grinning, as he leaned on the open door frame. "I know that they just got married, but you'd think that bastard could keep his hands to himself for a few minutes. Long enough to eat, at the very least. Kagome-chan has to be starving!"
Hinata giggled again, her face red, as she replied, "Y-you were just as bad, Naruto."
"Bah!" His own face a little red, the Uzumaki looked away from her and muttered, "N-no, I wasn't! Sasuke-teme is ten times worse than I ever was! He can't even make it in the door!"
"Sure," Hinata shook her head with a smile, knowing it was best just to drop it.
The Uchiha family would make it over eventually, after all.
...once they got over the honeymoon phase.
