Sorry guys, I just now realized that this chapter wasn't finished for some reason or another. I'm updated it so now it's actually finished. I hope you guys like it.

The restaurant that the four of them went to was practically a ballroom. There were tables placed strategically around a dance floor so that everyone would have enough privacy to eat. The music that was playing was obviously meant for couples to dance together and the floor was filled with people who were swaying back and forth to the music. Naruto liked it. It was so calming compared to the rest of their crazy lives and it was nice to sit like this.

Unfortunately, not long after they had entered the restaurant, the man that they were hunting followed them in and he hadn't stopped staring at Naruto since. More than once, Naruto thought for sure that he was trying to get his attention, but he stubbornly ignored the man in favor of being lost in the conversation with his newly wed husband. He was actually glad that he was able to go with that as an excuse because he really didn't want to know what sort of perverted glances that man would send his way if he were to look over and "notice" him.

"That guy is really starting to give me the creeps," Naruto said to his friends.

"I really want to punch him right now," Sakura responded immediately.

"What's he doing?" Sasuke asked as he was sitting with his back towards the man and he couldn't turn around to face him without being conspicuous.

"I'm trying really really hard not to look at him right now," Naruto replied. "So I don't actually know."

"You guys really don't want to know," Sakura said. She had a clear view of him from where she sat and she was having a hard time not gagging at all the perverted and lewd things he was trying to do to get Naruto's attention. She was actually surprised at how disgusting the guy was. She totally thought that he was going to be one of those perverts who are totally shy in public, but this guy seemed totally sure of himself. "It's totally disgusting."

"That just makes me feel a whole lot better," Naruto had to suppress a shiver. "I can't wait 'til we put that man behind bars or something."

"Maybe Sasuke should go to the bathroom to leave an opening for the man to get to Naruto," Sakura suggested. Sasuke had to force himself not to tense up as he readied himself to respond with a most emphatic no, but Sakura continued before he could. "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Naruto and make sure that the guy doesn't do anything to harm him. If I have to I can physically intervene since I am Naruto's bodyguard."

Sasuke sighed, but relented and, with a small kiss to the corner of Naruto's mouth that made him blush, excused himself to the bathroom with Kakashi following immediately behind as any good bodyguard should.

The man stood up almost immediately after Sasuke made his way into the crowd. He didn't even wait for Sasuke to disappear into the bathroom before he was standing right next to Naruto. "Hello love," he said as those he and Naruto had known each other for some time now.

"Do I know you?" Naruto asked nervously.

"Not yet love," he leaned over, "but you will soon." Naruto had to suppress another shiver as he leaned away from the man. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sakura getting up to intervene. This one interaction was all that they needed to encourage the man to try to capture Naruto and neither of them were really keen on allowing it to go any further. "Let's dance," the man said as he grabbed Naruto's wrist in a vice-like grip and yanked him out of his seat.

"Let me go," Naruto pulled on his arm, but he knew that he couldn't actually break free without giving himself away. "Where are you Sakura?" he asked.

"He has a partner," Sakura responded, "and he's getting in my way."

"What the hell are you doing with my wife?" Sasuke growled as he stormed up to them. Both their target and Naruto jumped as neither of them had noticed Sasuke's return, but Naruto couldn't have been more grateful as Kakashi broke the man's grip on him. Almost immediately after, Sakura was there too as the accomplice allowed her to get by.

"Oh she won't be yours for long," the man said. "I'm going to have her all to myself." He reached out to touch Naruto's face, but Sakura stepped in front of him. The man only gave one last devious smirk before he turned and left the restaurant.

"Thank god," Naruto said as he sank into whoever was closest to him, which happened to be Sasuke. "That man gave me the creeps."

"Come on," Sasuke growled barely able to hold in his anger at the man for touching Naruto. "Let's go back." Without another word he steered Naruto right out of the restaurant, leaving Kakashi to pay.

"Sasuke?" Naruto asked as Sasuke handled him a little more roughly than he was used to. It's not like he couldn't handle it, but Naruto could tell that meant that something was wrong with him. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Sasuke hissed.

"You're obviously not," Naruto pointed out. "Tell me what's wrong."

"Fine," Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks to face Naruto. "I'm mad as hell. How dare that guy touch you! How dare he think that you could ever belong to him! You're mine. You hear me? Mine!"

And that was the wrong thing to say because the moment that it slipped out of Sasuke's mouth he had a painful handprint on his face and Naruto glaring up at him angrily. "I don't belong to you," he hissed. "I don't belong to anyone." Then he walked away and Sasuke couldn't do anything but stand there and watch him go.

"Naruto!" Sakura called after him as she ran to catch up. "You know he didn't mean it like that," she tried to calm Naruto's anger, but when she caught up it wasn't anger that she saw on Naruto. He looked totally depressed.

"I know he didn't," Naruto sighed dejectedly, "but that's the problem."

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

"He says that and it hurts so much because I want it to be true so badly," Naruto muttered, "but I know that its not and it never will be."

"It could be," Sakura tried. This wasn't a conversation she was expecting to have right now, but she would go with it if it was a chance to get the two of them together and make them happy. "You could be his."

"I can't do that to him," Naruto shook his head.

"Why not Naruto?" Sakura asked. "What's going to happen if the two of you get together?"

Naruto looked up and Sakura froze. She didn't know what that look meant, she had never seen it on the other before, but she knew well enough to know that whatever it was had to be horrible.

"It's nothing Sakura," Naruto sighed as he shook his head to clear his mind as they made it to the hotel. "Let's just leave it for now." "We're being followed."

"What do you want me to do?" Sakura asked.

"Just let me have some time to myself Sakura," Naruto shook his head.

"Are you sure?" Sakura asked in a worried voice.

"I'll just be in my room," Naruto nodded. "I'm sure you'll hear if anything happens."

"Alright," Sakura nodded as she opened the hotel room door. Naruto immediately went to his room and Sakura went to the living room where she knew were the least amount of weapons for her two attackers to get her with. If she could inconspicuously knock one of them out, they could interrogate him while the other took Naruto to find the other girls that had been kidnapped. Hopefully she could get the disgusting one so he wouldn't be able to get anywhere near Naruto.

Unfortunately, that man was not one of the two that bust through the door after them. He had, instead, found another way into the room and appeared behind Naruto as soon as he closed the door. "Ninja," was Naruto's last thought to his friends before the rag of chloroform that was pressed against his mouth rendered him unconscious.

I'm really sorry about that guys. I hope you like the finished product.
