Chapter 2 –The law.
The first thing that Naruto noticed in the morning was…
'Gosh… what the hell happened? I feel like my head is about to explode...'
His head was throbbing so much that every sound he heard, like the chirpping of the birds or even the rustling of the leaves, seemed like a meteor crashing down on earth.
He tried to get out of bed. His sheets were in the floor, and his bed was a total mess... Like somebody had thrown a party over it.
'This is the last time I will ever drink…Please God, make it stop.'
He sat up, with his hands massaging his temples…
'I've got to get some water. My mouth tastes like mud'
He started to get up.
Then…
'Knock, Knock'.
Somebody knocked the door!
'Great, who could it be now?'
He went to the door and opened it. It was a group of 3 men, all dressed in the same green trousers and white shirt with some writings on it.
"Yes?" – Naruto asked.
"We are the moving company. We are here to move your things to your new residence. Will you let us come in?" – The taller man declared
"Oh, yes of course."
He let the door open and went back to the bed.
'It was just the moving company to take my things.'
A couple of seconds later, he got the notion of who they were. He quickly sat in his bed and got up..
'WTF!'
He hurried to the kitchen and indeed... The men were taking all his precious stuff...
"WAIT! STOP! That's mine!" He shouted and went to the door and barried the entry.
The sweat was falling from his head…
'What the hell is going on?'
"What are you guys doing with my stuff?" He demanded
"We already told you… We are here to move your things to your new residence." – said the boss.
"What new residence? I live here!" He reclaimed
"Not anymore, you have a new place to be."
"I have?" He thought but even that hurt... "What! Euh...Where?"
"Let's see…"
The man pulled a little black book out of his pocket. He opened it and read it and after a while, he closed the book and turned to Naruto.
"It says here that you married with the owner of the Uchiha properties."
Naruto stayed still for a few seconds… Then he started to laugh, letting tears fall from the laughter.
"Aha, good joke!" -he could hardly talk from the sheer force of the joke- "but you can tell the Hokage that I don't fall for that so easily."
"This is no joke." –the guy made a serious face – "You married to Uchiha Sasuke at half past midnight. You must have received some paper for this action…"
"That simply isn't possible, not in a million years I would marry him."
"The Hokage-sama said that you wouldn't believe it so..." – the guy takes a piece of paper – "we brought the receive."
Naruto grabbed the paper with rudeness.
I, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, declare valid the marriage of Uzumaki Naruto (my signature!) with Uchiha Sasuke (Hell! He signed too!)
So, from this day, they will be considered husband and husband(Tsunade over wrote the "wife" part and substituted by "husband") and will share their lives and material goods with on another, until the completion of a year marriage minimum.
The Hokage
Tsunade.
He started laughing again, but this time it had a desperate and panicked tone..
'This can't be fucking happening' He thought. 'This isn't real! I would never do this! Or Sasuke! We' ve gotta be completely out of our minds to do a thing like this! This… simply can't be….'
The man start to pack things again.
"Wait! Where will I live?" He asked
"Well, you will live with your husband, of course!". The man said as being the most obvious thing in the whole world.
"Aha, no way! I prefer to homeless!."
"That's up to you" –the man continued to pack up things.
'This can't be happening…'
"Boss, it's only this…"
"Ooww, you must be really poor…" the boss said simpathetically with two boxes –"You made a good business marrying the Uchiha…"
"GGGAAHHHHH!" – Naruto exploded –"I didn't married him! This must be some kind of mistake! For Gods sake, WE'RE BOTH MAN!"
"So?" – the guy asks with a upset face –"I HAVE A HUSBAND!"
Naruto looked at the guy, with stupefaction.
"Ups… Sorry."
"Here's your things!" –the guy threw the two boxes to Naruto, who fell from the weight.
"Our job is done." –The 3 men left the house, closing the door.
"Ouch…You didn't have to be so rude!"
But the guys were already gone.
'Great, now what.'
He thought for a while.
'I've got to go talk to tsunade.'- He got up.
But he stopped as a thought suddenly hit him.
'I've got to go talk to Sasuke first! This is all his fault anyway!' He thought with rage.
He arrived to the Uchiha mansion and the door was openUchiha house certainly was up to its name. It was the biggest house in the village with the exception of the Hokage house! It had the appearance of a temple, with its roof stylistic yet subtle made of blue tilesand the house was surrounded with a white stoned wall and the own building was made of wood. Not that Naruto noticed the fine architecture and the master piece of art that was the Uchiha Mansion... He was with more problems at the moment and also with a hang-over... And even if he was in his normal state he probably wouldn't noticed it... Being as dense as he is.
But, one thing he noticed.
'The gate and the door are open!"
Naruto entered the house and as Sasuke's house was big… Naruto quickly found himself lost.
The corridors didn't seem to change a bit… It was like he never even left the same place.
Always the same wooden walls and even the divisions he tried didn't seem to change.
'Great, now just where's that baka's room!' He thought desperatly
Then, he heard footsteps from the other side of the corridor.
'Great! It must be him.' He thought with joy
He ran in the direction of the sound. He found Sasuke walking through the corridor. He was backwards to Naruto and didn't seem to notice his presence.
"Sasuke! There you are!" The blonded called
Sasuke stopped. But didn't turn to Naruto.
"Sasuke, we have a big problem and…"
Naruto walked to Sasuke, when he reached him he puts his hand on his shoulder.
"Why was your door op…"
Sasuke, without a notice, grabbed Naruto's hand and projected him to the ground, Naruto screaming all the way.
"AAAHH, Sasuke what are you doing?"
He looked at Sasuke's face from the ground.
'He is with his eyes closed…'
Naruto got up and looked at Sasukes face.
'He's…sleeping!' The blond thought with incredibility 'This idiot walks while he sleeps!'
"Sasuke…wake up! You idiot, we have a problem!"
Sasuke started to mumble something… Naruto approached to hear him.
"Naruto..."
'Hum…He is dreaming about me!' thought Naruto smiling…
He said something else, Naruto approached again.
"…you are gonna pay for that."
Ñaruto got pissed off.
"Wake up, You Moron!"
Sasuke suddenly took four shurikens from his bag and held them in an attack pose.
"What are going to…"
Naruto didn't even have the time to say anymore, as he was attacked by Sasuke. The shurikens almost caught him.
"YOU IDIOT!WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU…"
Sasuke pulled out more and more shurikens. It looked like his bag was an never-ending source of shurikens.
"FUCK!" Naruto screamed as he started to run and at the same time avoiding shurikens destined to hit his panicked ass. "YOU PSICO! WAKE UP!"
Sasuke didn't seem to hear the screams of Naruto. Naruto stopped as he was in a dead end.
'I'm doomed! Dying so young and virginal!'
He saw Sasuke coming closer.
"Sasuke! Wake up!PLEASE!" He pleaded to his friend.
Sasuke reached his pocket. Then stopped.
'What happened?' – Naruto asked himself.
Sasuke opened his eyes and looked at Naruto with confusion.
"…Naruto?" – he said.
Naruto let himself slide to the floor with relief.
"…How the heck did all my shurikens disappeared?" – asked Sasuke.
"Look at the floor and the walls and you will find out." – responded Naruto.
Sasuke started to turn, but he fell.
"Why does my head?… ouch" – Sasuke complained to no one in particular.
And suddenly Naruto remembered the reason of his visit.
"Sasuke! We have a big problem!
Sasuke held his head trying to maintain balance.
"Sasuke! This is serious!"
"I don't know what it is but it will have to wait until tomorrow. And don't speak so loudly..."
"Sasuke, we are married!"
"Yes, we are Naruto… Now go home and leave me alone."
He started to walk towards his room.
"Sasuke, I am serious!"
"Sorry Baka, I would never marry with a dobe like you."
Naruto went to Sasuke, giving him the certificate.
"If you don't believe in me, read!"
Sasuke read silently… His face passed from numb to complete surprise.
He looked to Naruto, the to the paper and the to Naruto again with hope that he would start laughing and say that this was only a bad joke.
But Naruto didn't.
"HOW THE HELL HAS THIS HAPPENED?" – Sasuke shouted.
"HOW SHOULD I KNOW!"
Sasuke walked in circles, trying to think.
"I… remember us vaguely talking about it…but…"
He let the certificate fall from his hand.
"This is just… I would never marry you!"
"Oh, and I would?" – shouted Naruto angrily.
"You were the one who was desperate if I remember." Sasuke snapped
"I would never be THAT desperate." Naruto replied
Sasuke started to walk through the corridor.
"Where are you going?" – asked Naruto.
"I'm going to see the Hokage! I have to cancel this marriage as soon as possible!"
"Wait, I will go with you!"
They arrived at the Tsunade's house. But… there was something strange about that it.
"What happened to the door?" – questioned Naruto.
The place where it used to be the door was now empty and had marks of burning all around it.
'Did I do this?' – asked Sasuke – 'This seems my work… but I would have to be out of my mind to do this to the hokage house.'
He looked at Naruto.
'I WAS out of my mind! I married this dobe!'
Tsunade got out of the house and came to meet them.
"I knew that you two would come here eventually." – she said with a wicked smile.
"I came here to get a divorce!" – said Sasuke.
"Hey, I was gonna say that!" – argued Naruto.
"Sorry you guys…but it cannot be done." Tsunade replied shrugging her shoulders.
"WHAT!" – they said at the same time.
"Well…you, see… The law of konohona is pretty clear, you must know that, Sasuke."
"But you cannot validate this marriage! We are still minors!"- said Sasuke.
"Yes, and we are both guys!" – added Naruto.
"Well, Naruto is a minor… but unfortunately for you, Sasuke, you took the test to have access to an adult status."
Sasuke looked at the hokage with a furious look.
"Sasuke has my age! How can he be considered an adult?" – asked Naruto.
" Your friend took a test to be considered an adult to Konoha's law, due to the fact that he has no legal gardians, unlike you, Naruto (you have Iruka-san) and also to ensure so that he didn't need to have a supervisor watching him under further circumstances, at his request." –Tsunade replied to Naruto.
"But… nobody told me about any test…" He pouted
"You would know if you studied a little, dobe." – said Sasuke, without breaking the eye contact with Tsunade.
She laughed at his reaction.
"You are considered an adult Sasuke, so this marriage is considered valid."
"You cannot be serious!"
"What about my stuff!" – asked Naruto –"There were some guys that were taking my stuff from home…"
"Well, you see Naruto, because you are an orphan and you didn't have the means to support yourself, the law says that you have to have a house until you have one on your own." – she started –"But, when you marry somebody, it is implicit that your things will be shared."
"Don't tell me that I am gonna be forced to live with him!" – Reclaimed a now furious and discomposed Sasuke.
"Oh, yes you will." –Tsunade laughed at the two as she started to walk back towards her house –"Don't worry, you two can be divorced after a year of marriage."
"Wait! You there must be something…" – Sasuke didn't look angry anymore... More like desperate now.
Tsunade turned to him.
"Sorry Sasuke, but there isn't anything I can do to help you two, the law is the law". Tsunade said with a nice smile.
Naruto fell to the ground.
'This CANNOT be happening.'
He suddenly noticed that there was something around his finger.
'A ring…'
He looked at it, it was a simple golden colored ring.
'I don't remember this' He thought lifting his hand but then slightly shook his head 'Why am I thinking about jewelry at a time like this!'
Sasuke walked towards Naruto and sat down next to him.
"Do you have some place to go?"
"Huh!"
"You lost your house, remember."
"Oh! That…"
'I can still go to Iruka-sensei house. Any place is better that live with him!'
"Yes, I ...I will go to Iruka-sensei house."
"Good."
Sasuke got up and walked home.
'He could at least ask if I was gonna be fine, I AM his husband, after all.'
Naruto realized what he had just thought. He pinched himself in the face.
'What the hell I am thinking about!'
He got up and walk in direction of Iruka-sensei house.
'Even if we are married this will not mean anything. We will find someway to get a divorce and we will back to our lives.'
Sasuke was walking in the direction of the library, leaving Naruto behind…
'Maybe I can find something in there... Some law that allows me and Naruto to divorce.'
Naruto was far gone when Sasuke suddenly stopped.
'Now that I think about it… I remember that Kakashi-sensei told us that Iruka had gone in a mission outside the village.' – he thought –' Maybe I should…'
He started to turn around but then thought better and continued in the direction of the Konoha Municipal Library, now in a brisk pace
'Not a chance! I'm not gonna go get that baka.'
He continued walking… Trying to concentrate in remembering what he studied about Konoha laws a couple of years ago.
'Who does he think he is…' – thought Naruto along the way to Iruka-sensei's house. – 'He is so arrogant! How can he be considerate an adult!'
'Dammit! I am much more mature that he is!' – He pouted to no one in special.
He finally arrived but a note was pinned in the wooded door of Iruka's house.
"Sorry, I have gone on a mission to the near village, I'll be back in a week or two.
If you are Kakashi, I DIED!
Compliments to you,
Except if you are Kakashi, if that's the case you can drop dead for all I care."
'Looks like they had a fight again…'
He sat on doorstep of Iruka-sensei house.
'Maybe I could ask to Kakashi to let me stay in until he arrives…Then again…his house is too small…' He reasoned 'Sakura-chan I can forget, she is going to kill me when she finds out that me and Sasuke got married.'
'Then…'
Naruto let his head fall with the thought.
'He would never let me stay at his place! Even if it's his fault that I am in this situation.'
He remembered what Sasuke had said in the dream.
'He must really hate me…'
He looked at the sky, it was getting dark and the weather was getting worst.
'It'll probably rain.'
Naruto started to feel a little down. But shook his head and thought fiercily
'I'M NOT GONNA GET SAD! I DON'T NEED ANYONE!'
Rain started to fall.
'I'm out of luck today... I'm totally fucked up'
Sasuke still was at the library and after 2 hours he hadn't found a single flaw in the terms of marriage that would allow him to break up the vows.
'There must be a way.'
A ray of thunder fell, waking up his mind from the book.
'It's raining…' He mused 'That baka must already have realised that Iruka isn't in the village.'
Sighing, he remembered that he left the door of his house open.
'He will probably go there… I don't need to worry.'
Sasuke almost jumped off his chair.
'WHY WOULD I WORRY!'
And so he carried on with his research, with an apllication the put researchers to shame. But, as he tried to concentrate in the book...
Section 8b, art.5 – In cases of …
'I hope that he isn't stupid enough to be at the rain.'
Section 8b, art.5 – In cases of …
'All right, he is the champion of stupidity, but he isn't that stupid.'
Section 8b, art.5 – In cases of …
'He IS that stupid.'
Sasuke stopped reading the law book.
'I'm not gonna get him!'
Naruto was getting completely soaked, his arms were trembling with the cold.
'I'll not go to HIS house.' He still thought 'I won't beg to him!'
He looked at the street which was deserted…
'Everyone must be with their families now…All comfortable…Having fun after a day of work.'
He started to feel like crying.
'I am not gonna cry, it's not like I am a little kid anymore.'
The rain kept falling…
'It's strange, it's like I am waiting for someone to come… but nobody is gonna come.'
The rain stopped falling in his body, but he didn't noticed
'Nobody ever shows up...No one'.
"Are you gonna stay there much longer?" An annoyed voice asked.
'I… know this voice.'
"You idiot! Hurry up."
He tilted his head up and saw Sasuke, who was completely red in the face and with his breathing fast, covering Naruto with a black umbrella.
'He… must have run a lot to be this tired.'
"What the hell do you want? To us to freeze in here! Let's go!" – said Sasuke angered… more with himself than with Naruto.
'I can't believe that I came to pick HIM up!' – he thought.
"But… where to?" – The still-dazed Naruto asked.
"Where do you think! To my place of course!"
Naruto looked to Sasuke with happiness and the darker ninja looked away, avoding Naruto's thankful look.
"Look baka, according to law I am responsible for you…" - he started with a calm voice and then he bellowed "ALL RIGHT? NOTHING PERSONAL! UNDERSTAND!" – he ended.
Naruto cleaned his face, although he wasn't getting rain anymore, his face was still wet.
Sasuke looked at the other side, pretending not to notice.
"Okay...Let's go now." – said Naruto.
He smiled at Sasuke, who suddenly became more red that he had gotten from the running.
'What am I thinking?' – he cursed himself.
"There are rules at my place, understood? If you annoy me, I will kick you out! Even if I get arrested." – He continued.
"Ok, Sasuke. Don't worry…"
'Only if I was completely insane I wouldn't worry.' – thought Sasuke, as the two walked to his house.
