Chapter 20
A/N working on some Halloween fics for you... :)
It was already the night of Sasuke's congratulatory party and it would consist of a formal sit down dinner. Naruto was still recovering from Christmas. As a present for Sasuke Naruto had decorated the house and Sasuke bought him a watch.
Naruto laid in bed content on NOT getting up. Bed was a happy place. Nothing bothered him in bed... Except for a raging sex monster named Sasuke.
"Teme... I will hurt you if you don't stop humping my leg." Naruto grumbled.
"Awwww, but its so much fun." Sasuke mock whined before kissing Naruto a few times on the cheek.
"Mmmmmm."
"Get up! It's noon. Hiruzen has been up. "
"That's a you problem..."
"Not when he keeps asking where Naru is... I'll let him lose in here." Sasuke warned.
Naruto ignored the threat- that is until his face was full of Hiruzen and Cheerios.
"Alright buddy I'm up..." Naruto said rubbing Hiruzen's back while simultaneously falling back to sleep. Until Hiruzen deemed it fit to slap him on the forehead. "Geez! Just like your daddy!" Naruto cried and Hiruzen giggled and sat up to repeatedly hit Naruto in the face and Naruto kept saying 'ow' keeping the little guy entertained.
Sasuke stood in the doorway equally entertained.
Naruto and Sasuke opted to just wear a nice suit for the nights festivities and packed Hiruzen an over night bag... Dinner was at 8 making it kind of late for a 1 year old to be partying. So Sasuke had to leave him with Karin.
Sasuke's driver carried Hiruzen to the door already in his pajamas and Karin opened the door with nothing more than a robe on. She showed her bare leg in what was supposed to be in a seductive manner but Sasuke just threw up a bit in his mouth and used Hiruzen's extra burp rag to spit and then rinsed his mouth out with water.
"Her nose looks terrible..." Naruto commented as she finally took Hiruzen.
"Remind me to send your ex-wife a thank you note and bouquet. Do you think she'd be interested in security?"
"Actually she's a registered nurse."
"Seriously?"
"Yep... Although she worked with the crazies at a clinic and not a hospital."
Sasuke sat back and gazed out the window. That was interesting to learn... No wonder she handled Karin so effectively.
They pulled up to the designated restaurant and were led past the open area and into a private room and were welcomed with confetti and streamers.
"Surprise!" Everyone yelled and Sasuke just shook his head.
Naruto and Sasuke were each handed a glass of champagne and began mingling. Naruto wormed his way over to the other blonde.
"Lemme see it." Naruto demanded and Deidara smiled and held his left hand out on display.
Sasori had indulged his blonde with a huge princess cut diamond. It was simple yet elegant. And very feminine.
"It suits you..." Naruto commented.
"I know it's super gorgeous!"
"Soooo-how'd the proposal go?" Naruto was dying to know.
"Well, I was walking to go and get frozen yogurt when all of a sudden I was grabbed from behind, I pretended to panic cause I knew it was Sasori-cause I know what my man feels like from behind-"
Naruto kind of wished he hadn't asked.
"So he drags me up to this hotel-"
"Let's skip that part." Naruto said blankly.
"Ugh. You're no fun. Anyways, lets just say rope was involved. He man handled me into the car and drove like insanely fast and stopped in an intersection and we barely cleared it when the car exploded. He kissed me and demanded I marry him. So we're engaged. So romantic..." Deidara finished with a dreamy look in his eyes.
Karin may have a competitor for most mentally unstable person alive.
"So, Sasori blew up a car?"
"Yeah..."
"You're insane..."
"Yeah..."
"Don't worry, after three decades I'm used to his particular brand of insanity." Sasori said appearing out of nowhere.
"How did you two get together?" Naruto felt like living a little dangerously...
"Deidara snuck fire crackers into school and threatened to tie me to a chair and send me into space if I didn't agree to be his boyfriend." Sasori answered blankly.
"And this happened in Kindergarten?"
"Yep." Deidara confirmed and Sasori nodded.
"Excuse me..." Naruto said walking away with a smile from the strange couple to stay by Sasuke.
Eventually Fugaku called them to a toast and they all congratulated Sasuke and sat down to enjoy dinner with family... Naruto... And Itachi's friends.
"A present, for the newest Uchiha to successfully buy out a business!" Kisame stated handing Sasuke a small box.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked suspiciously.
"It's a USB containing the video of Karin having her ass kicked. There's a few different versions- the original, the edited with captions and one with Hollywood sound effects." Kisame said with a shrug.
"How thoughtful." Sasuke said with a smirk pocketing the box.
Wine was served and appetizers were brought out and pleasant conversation was in there air.
You know that feeling, when absolutely everything seems perfect and everyone is happy and there isn't a care in the world, but your brain is telling you that something will shut it down? Naruto currently had that feeling, which is why the normally happy and bubbly blonde seemed paranoid.
"Something wrong love?" Sasuke asked casually and lightly.
"Yes... I feel like we are experiencing the calm before the storm."
Sasuke's face scrunched up as Naruto glared at no one.
And that ladies and gentlemen is when it happened.
The doors to the private room opened and Karin came in wearing a form fitting and rather revealing gown.
"Karin." Sasuke bit out.
"Yes my love?" She asked still sporting a bruised up face ill concealed by make-up.
"Where is Hiruzen?" Sasuke asked deathly quiet.
The room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Miskitos eyes widened and Fugaku straightened up.
"At home silly." She replied.
"With?" Sasuke pressed.
"Why does someone need to be with him? He's old enough to walk now and I left him with the t.v. He's fine and can take care of himself."
"He's one you stupid bitch." Naruto said angrier than ever.
Sasuke jumped up from his seat and ran out of the room quickly followed by Naruto. Both men ran as fast as possible down the street in suits towards Karin's flat.
Itachi grabbed his cell phone and dialed for the police and Kisame grabbed Karin who was going to try and follow Sasuke.
Sasuke ran faster then he had ever dreamed possible and adrenaline pumped through his veins and blood made him deaf to everything else. Naruto stayed at his heels and maneuvered the streets thankfully not being struck by any cars. Naruto was afraid for Hiruzen-a little boy he had come to love very much who was alone and hopefully alright. Every step Naruto took he felt like he was moving faster and faster.
The police arrived and arrested Karin on child neglect, child endangerment, neglecting her restraining order and trespassing- turns out Karin had been banned from the restaurant previously.
"We will be sending officers and paramedics to her address."
Itachi sharply nodded and called for his car. Hopefully no paramedics would be needed. He stepped into his car and the driver followed the police escort.
Fugaku Uchiha rubbed his temples and pulled his cell phone out and hit 5 and dial.
"Tell my lawyer I want Karin's parental rights completely revoked by January 6th. I don't want her near my son's, their spouses or their children. Hell I want her away from my family entirely. Make sure he understands the severity of this. Thank you." And he hung up and looked his wife in the eyes giving he a reassuring look and squeezed her delicate hand. They got up and and Fugaku put a credit card down and told the party guests to stay and dine as they wished and to give the card to Itachi when done.
The problem was-everyone had just lost their appetite and opted to leave and head to Karin's flat.
Sasuke and Naruto rounded the corner and headed down Karin's street and stopped in front of her door and looked up to the 3rd floor where a little red-head had his head out the open window.
"HIRUZEN! STAY PUT!" Sasuke yelled attaining a completely new level of fear. Sasuke ran up the steps and tried to open the door and broke in it when it refused to give. Naruto saw police men start to arrive and Naruto kept his eyes on Hiruzen.
"Buddy! Stay there, ok? Daddy is coming to get you!" Naruto yelled hoping the one year old stayed.
Hiruzen leaned out more and Naruto jumped forward to compensate. Naruto didn't even dare breathe.
Sasuke got up to the third floor trying the door and kicking it in as well. Helooked around the flat seeing a shine built to him and he zeroed in on the window with his son precariously hanging outside of the window. Sasuke ran forward and reached just as the small body fell forward and slid out the window. Sasuke made a grab for him but his finger tips only brushed against a small foot that plummeted towards concrete and Sasuke's heart, lungs, brain and body all froze.
