.: City Shenanigans Part 2:.

3rd POV

After the two exited the restaurant they walked back to the Uchiha's car in silence, the two having nothing to say to each other, only exchanging glances. Whenever they both glanced at each other at the same time, Naruto would blush madly and stumble on his actions a bit before quickly turning away looking at nothing or something random.

Sasuke could only smirk at the blonde's blush, which, in the raven's opinion, made him look adorable, even though he was adorable enough as it is. Sasuke started the car after they both sat in silence, which only lasted for about two minutes or so.

During the whole ride to the city, Naruto looked out the window most of the time, not really finding anything particularly interesting. He just didn't have anywhere else to look that would also include Sasuke's figure. So since looking out the window was the best option, Naruto was planning to stick to that. But Sasuke knew what he was trying to do, and he wouldn't have any of that this time.

The raven cleared his throat and started a conversation. "So, what did you think of the food?" he asked, finding it amusing how the other next to him nearly jumped high enough in his seat to hit his head on the roof of the car.

Naruto turned his head quickly, looking at Sasuke for a few moments before looking back out of the window, not wanting the other to read his expression. "I-it wasn't bad.." Sasuke hummed at the response, satisfied that he at least got some words out of the blonde. "But it was pretty expensive." Naruto added afterwards, completely catching Sasuke off guard. The Uchiha stopped the car when the green light suddenly flashed to red.

Sasuke was pretty surprised that he got Naruto to say more than just a few words. "Well, most of the stuff in the city is a bit… pricey," his words slowed down when he tried to figure out the right word.

Naruto hummed at the other's words," I still think it was over to top."

"That's because you've never experienced this before, so I'll just make sure you do today." Sasuke smirked when Naruto turned his head from the window to look in front of them at the road. "I'm sure you won't hate it."

"We'll see about that."

"Hn."

They sat in silence for another few minutes again, before the car stopped at another red light and Naruto looked around. He saw a few gangs, with their low riding pants and white wife-beaters that were stretched and loose on them. The area they were passing through now how buildings that were sprayed and painted with designs, not even an inch left blank.

"If we ever come to the city again, don't even think about venturing off here." Sasuke said suddenly, causing Naruto to turn his head over sharply.

"What?"

"This part of town is like a black market," Sasuke explained, turning at a curb.

"Aren't black markets i-"

"Illegal here. Yeah." the raven cut him off and finished for him." But the police really have no power over here. If the gangs here were shooed off by the police, they'd probably come back and start a riot."

"Hmm." the blonde nodded his head and hummed," That's.. interesting.. I guess." he said as he turned his head back facing the window," So.. where are we going?"

"The arcade."

"The arcade..? Why?" Naruto asked.

"Hn."

"Teme, answer my question."

"Dobe."

"Don't call me that, teme!" Naruto turned over quickly and glared at the raven, causing the other to smirk, almost turning into a smile.

Sasuke was overjoyed on the inside at how Naruto was opening up to him little by little.

"I just thought you'd like to go to the arcade,"

Naruto looked in front of them at the road," I haven't really been to an arcade in a while.. not since Sakura died.."

"Sakura..?" Sasuke raised a brow and looked over at Naruto. His eyes widened when he saw sadness in the blonde's blue eyes.

'not since Sakura died..'

At the same time, Sasuke was curious wondering who this Sakura was, but he also felt jealousy. How this Sakura girl could make Naruto this sad so quickly.. like she was the most important thing to Naruto..

"Sorry…" Sasuke suddenly noticed how rude the question was," you don't have to tell me if you don-"

"She was my best friend.." Naruto answered quickly but quietly.

Suddenly.. the name 'Sakura' sounded really familiar to Sasuke.

'Sakura, Sakura… where have I heard the name before.. Sakura… oh.'

"Wait.. Sakura Haruno?"

Naruto quickly looked at the other, his eyes wide with shock.." How.. how do you know her name..?"

"I went to her wedding.."

"What!?" Naruto practically shouted. Sasuke, who didn't even know Sakura other than her name, went to her wedding, but Naruto, who knew her for years, wasn't even invited to go because of the stupid groom.

"The groom, or Sai, his name, invited me to go. His father being a good friend to my father."

Naruto stared at Sasuke in shock, then the shock disappeared and anger filled his eyes and was stamped right on his face for everyone to read.

"What?! That bastard was a friend of yours!?"

"I wouldn't say friend, just an acquaintance. We hardly ever talk, if we do it's usually about college or just a few other things." the raven answered calmly." You sound like you hate him."

"I DO!" Naruto yelled off the top of his lungs, scaring Sasuke as he jerked violently. "That bastard is the reason Sakura's dead!"

"I heard that she committed suicide months after she found out about her pregnancy."

"That's right.." Naruto said quietly.

Another moment of silence washed by, came and then left," Sai's recent wife is gone as well… she ran away and heard she took a plane somewhere," Sasuke told the blonde next to him, who didn't really give a damn." her family followed her over seas not too long ago, he didn't bother going after her. So now.. he's on the lookout for a new one and he told me a while back.."

Naruto's eyes widened when he heard those words.

He quickly turned his head to look over at Sasuke his eyes held fear and worry," Who.. who is he going after this time..?" Naruto asked quietly, his voice shaking.

"Well, if it makes you feel better, it's not you.." the worry in Naruto's eyes didn't fade.

'If he even touched a single hair on you I'd kill the fucker..,' Sasuke was about to say out loud but decided against it.

"Who!?" Naruto wanted and demanded to know.

"This blonde named Yamanaka Ino." Sasuke said casually

It Sasuke everything to persuade Naruto not to jumped out of the car and run back home…

Sasuke sighed as he drove himself and Naruto over to the arcade. After he had told the blonde about Sai's new prey, Naruto flipped and started to unbuckle his seat belt and run back home. Sasuke had made sure he locked the buckles on every seat in the car. But when he noticed Naruto succeeding in slipping right under the seat belt Sasuke growled lowly and grabbed Naruto's arm, pulling him back into his seat.

"Let me go!" Naruto tried to shake the other's hand off of his arm but failed to do so.

"No." was all Sasuke responded back as he stared right into Naruto's eyes, making the blonde shiver at the eye contact.

Naruto glared at the Uchiha and made another futile attempt at escaping the raven's grasp.

" Why the fuck not?!" Naruto yelled at him, his eye's showing pure anger.

"'Cause this is tradition." Was Sasuke's mere reply as he saw the tide of realization flow through Naruto's face," there's nothing we can do about tradition, and if we could…. if we were able to.. you wouldn't be here.."

Naruto's eyes widened as Sasuke loosened his grip on the blonde's arm and let it fall back to his side.

Naruto wasn't that oblivious … he knew it took Sasuke a lot to say that. The tension grew in the car as silence awoke again and slipped into the suffocating air.

Sasuke started the car engine again. A few minutes before the Uchiha had parked next to a sidewalk, switching the emergency button on. The relaxing roar of the engine calmed Naruto as he looked out the window again, not really wanting to talk to the other, his thoughts too tangled up.

Naruto continued to look out the window, people holding signs, entertainers on the street, the homeless beggars sitting against the windows of shops. Nothing caught Naruto's eyes, nothing that shot to him as fancy or called out to him. He wasn't saying the city was boring, he was just stating that the city was loud, hectic, chaotic, and an eyesore. All the lights shining to no end and everything flashing your eyes, the honks of cars, and the shouting of mad men and womens. Naruto didn't want to stay here too long, he wanted to go back to the peace of the village, the secluded area, the silence and relaxation that took over the village. .

Naruto sighed as the car turned into a parking lot, yet another building flashing and shining with lights came into his line of vision and he couldn't help but glare at all of the light.

Sasuke looked over at the slightly glaring blonde and silently chuckled to himself as the car's calm roar came to an end. The two exited the car, meeting in the front of the vehicle and then walking over to the bright building. Yes, Naruto hadn't been to the arcade since Sakura had died, before that they still wouldn't go much. Sakura found that the arcade was obnoxious, stupid, and dirty, with little kids running along and teens smoking and doing drugs. While everyone else went to the arcade, Naruto would stay behind with Sakura, wanting to be with her rather than the latter.

The sliding doors opened up as the two of them strode on black carpet in front of it. As the doors slid open, the sounds of irking game machines and sounds of gunshots came to life. Naruto looked around and saw many of the games he used to play with everyone else back then.

"What do you say we start with?" Sasuke suddenly said as he stopped his steps and waited for Naruto to follow his actions.

The blonde quickly turned around and saw Sasuke staring at him, a smirk plastered on his face as he waited for the dobe to answer.

"Uh.. I don't know… I told you, I haven't been to the arcade in a while.." Naruto said slowly, not looking at the raven in the process of his sentence.

"Alright, then, let's start off with a something familiar, how about Street Fighter?" Sasuke pointed to his left and there were two vacant seats for this game. Naruto looked at the machines and saw the flashing lights, the red, green, blue buttons all seemed to be worn out.

"Alright.." Naruto hesitantly nodded and followed Sasuke to the two empty seats and both sat at their own machine.

Sasuke 'hmm'ed as he sat down and selected multiplayer, Naruto following his action. As the machines wereconnecting, Sasuke smirked when he found some source of entertainment.

"Two-out-of-three?"

Naruto looked over at the Uchiha, who was staring at the screen, the character selection popping up as he chose a random fighter. "What?" Naruto raised his eyebrows.

"Two-out-of-three, whoever wins two-out-of-three."

"Wins what? What are you talking about?" Naruto tilted his head sideways as he thought of a fighter to select.

"The bet." Sasuke dead-panned

"I never agreed to any bets, teme." Naruto rolled the name off his tongue, which to Sasuke's delight, bastard or not, found Naruto's nickname perfect.

"Whoever wins, gets to decide where we go after this."

"Home." Naruto said bluntly. With the thought of Ino in trouble, he couldn't stand just sitting here and having fun. His best friend was in trouble, and he can't do anything about it, or the bastard right next to him won't let him off the hook.

"Ah, but you haven't even won the bet," Sasuke smirked as Naruto chose random and was selected a girl fighter, to Naruto's horror.

'3...2...1… FIGHT!'

The announcer yelled as the orange and flamboyant words were scribbled across the screen. Sasuke's fingers rapidly started to hit the buttons with harsh impact as he hit Naruto first in the game, the girl fighter failing to her displeasure. With the advantage Sasuke leaped back and waited for fighter to get back up.

Naruto gaped and slammed on the buttons of the console, trying to hit Sasuke, but failed every time when the fighter jumped out of his reach.

"Stay still won't you!"

"Won't even let you dream of it." Sasuke smirked and hit the specific buttons, knocking Naruto's fighter to the ground again.

After constant back and forth hits, Sasuke eventually won the first round, smirking at his victory. Naruto next to him mumbled words that were deaf to the Uchiha's ear.

Round two started soon afterwards, as it quickly ended with Naruto's luck. Naruto smiled happily as the words 'K.O.' popped onto their screens declaring his victory.

As the third round was in process of beginning, Naruto and Sasuke shared rivalrous glances and the buttons on the consoles quickly lit up with fire.

The two attracted much attention as the last round was longer than the other two combine, hits would be rare as both of them had equal amount of hp.

A crowd quickly formed around them, as people who were waiting for their turn for the game quickly became interested in the match and stared in disbelief. The third and last round would decide everything.

It was down to one more bar for each of them, who ever would land the last hit would win, but it wasn't that easy. Their fighters were jumping all over the screen as they tried to land a blow.

It was getting difficult for Sasuke to pay attention to the game, a sneeze was coming and he wasn't going to let Naruto win this.

But the irritating itch on his nose was killing him, as his eyes twitched in discomfort.

When the Uchiha couldn't stop the sneeze, he let it all out, his eyes snapping shut.

Naruto took this as a fine chance to knock the other one over," Victory is mine!" Naruto grinned happily.

But just when Naruto was about to his the other fighter with his own, the two machines suddenly went blank.

The two of them blinked at the black screens in front of them, and the crowd behind them continued to stare.

"What?!" Naruto yelled out and stood up abruptly, slamming his hands onto his machine," You've got to be kidding me…" Naruto groaned and slumped back down onto his seat.

"Hn." Sasuke covered his mouth with his clothed wrist."Let's go before the the manager comes and gives us an earful," the Uchiha grabbed the others wrist and pulled him out of his seat, his feet taking them out of the arcade and into the parking lot.

The two went into the raven's car, slamming the doors. The two sat in silence, staring at the darkening sky.

A grin cracked onto Naruto's face, as a smirk slipped onto Sasuke's, the silence soon broke as laughter filled the quiet parking lot, the two in the car grinning.

Fugaku Uchiha looked up from his computer in his office, stopping his actions and looking away from the document in front of him when he heard the doorbell ring throughout the house. Mikoto, who was on the other side of the room working at her desk, looked up as well.

The both glanced at each other before glancing at the clock.

"Who do you think that is?" Mikoto stood up, taking her glasses off and gently placing them on her desk.

"Can't be the boys, it's only six in the evening," Fugaku chuckled.

"I don't think those two are coming back for dinner." Mikoto chuckled along.

Fugaku stood up as well and followed Mikoto out the door and down the hallway leading to the staircase.

Already at the door was Itachi and Deidara, the blonde on his toes looking out the peep hole to see who it was.

"Who are they?" Deidara asked curiously. Still looking through the peep hole.

"I wouldn't know because I haven't seen them, thanks to someone." Itachi pointed out. Deidara looked away from the peep hole, turning his head to look at his lover. The blonde chuckled awkwardly and moved away to let the other one see.

"You two, stop peeping and just open the door!" Mikoto yelled at them and ran down the steps," they can hear you out there too."

The younger Uchiha's turned away from the door to see Mikoto running towards them, knocking them out of the way to unlock the doors. Before opening them, she straightened her attire out and grab the handles again, pulling at the doors.

Standing in front of the doorway, was a group of people all with different emotions written on each face. Some with worry, some with greive, some with guilt, and some with anger.

Mikoto raised her eyebrows as she glanced at everyone in front of her, both of her hands still on each handle of the door, making her totally vulnerable.

"State your business here please." Mikoto deadpanned staring at the women in front of her with bright red locks.

The group standing in front of Mikoto, was none other than Naruto's army of friends and family. Fugaku quickly went to the scene and grabbed Mikoto's hand, loosening her grip on the doors and standing in front of her.

"Who may you people be?" he asked in a stern voice, suspicion in his eyes.

"We're here to see Naruto, my son." Kushina, with her crimson locks walked closer, her eyes filled with fire as she faced the head Uchiha. Behind her, was Minato, who held less emotion, but would be there if Fugaku tried anything.

"I am terribly sorry, but Naruto is not here at the moment, I'll tell him you stopped by." Fugaku apologized in slow and calm words before continuing," Now may you all please leave and get off my property."

"Not till you let us see Naruto!" Ino stepped out from behind the crowd and stood next to Kushina, her chin raised with confidence.

"I already told you, Naruto isn't here at the moment," Fugaku stated again.

"Liar! Let us see Naruto!"

Mikoto quickly went to Fugaku's side, opening the door wider for both of them to fit between, giving the group a plain good sight at how wealthy the Uchiha's were.

"As my husband stated, there is nothing we can do, Naruto is out right now with our son in the city and w-"

"We won't leave until we see him, then." Ino glared at the women. Mikoto's eyes widened as she stared at the two in front of her.

Fugaku glared back at the blonde, his anger rising at the intrusion." I must say that this is an invasion of territory and property," Fugaku stated," beyond that driveway is Uchiha property, and I must say you past that line a while ago."

"We don't give a damn! Just let us see Naruto!" Kiba shouted out, Akamaru by his side with his teeth bared as he snarled viciously at them.

After long and constant bickering, Fugaku glared at everyone in front of him, his glare so menacing that everyone was quiet for a few moments before Mikoto cleared her throat," If you insist upon seeing Naruto so much, we'll let you." her words took everyone back, eyes widening and smiles appearing.

"Mikoto-"

"I don't mind, and besides, no matter what they do," Mikoto smiled," no matter what they say, Sasuke is the one to make decisions for Naruto." she turned her back to them as she looked ahead at the exquisite entryway before beckoning her fingers for them to follow," come along, I'll show you to the guest room." she said calmly and walked away, the lot of them following cautiously behind. The boys caught a glimpse of Itachi's stare and shivered under it. Akamaru whimpered, his tails between his legs as Itachi looked down upon him.

They were led upstairs on the left side, the west corridor where Naruto's room was, and arrived at a large and spacious room designed and decorated for guests.

"I suppose you all can wait here until Naruto comes back with Sasuke, until then, you may look around and get comfortable." Mikoto smiled at them.

As the Uchiha left, Minato stopped her for a few seconds," Wait!" he shouted out towards her.

"Yes?"

"Thank you.." he said with full heart.

Mikoto stared at the blond man for a few seconds, before a sweet and gently smile graced her lips and she closed the doors, walking back to her office.

Sasuke and Naruto arrived home at seven in the evening after getting dinner to eat at the city. Before dinner they had went to many places, both enjoyable, and displeasing at the same time. Most of it was for Naruto's entertainment, like the arcade and laser tag, the rest of if was just for killing time until dinner. As Sasuke drove into the driveway, they both spotted the cars parked together in the middle.

The Uchiha raised his eyebrows as he parked his car randomly in the large space, but Naruto wasn't confused or curious, he knew who those cars belonged to.

As soon as Sasuke stopped the engine, in a flash Naruto took off his seatbelt and bolted out of the car running towards the house in a hurry, leaving the other behind.

As he walked into the mansion, he saw Deidara walking up the stairs with a box in his hand as he snickered.

"Deidara!" Naruto called out to the other blond, who stopped his tracks and looked down at him.

"Oh! Naruto! Your-"

"Where are they at!?" He cut the other off frantically.

"Um, in the guest room I think."

"Thanks." Naruto ran up the stairs, almost knocking Deidara down. He zipped through the hallways trying to remember which one led to the guest room, and which guest room is was! He stopped looking around him, which way to go? Which way to turn?! It was when he heard the familiar bark of Akamaru his heart started to beat faster as he ran towards the noise.

"Akamaru, what's up with you?!" Naruto heard his best friend's yell throughout the hallway. He panted as he ran down the corridor, hearing the sound coming from the last door.

"Maybe Naruto's here!" he heard Ino shout with joy and hope in her voice.

He stopped in front of the door, panting as he tried to catch his breath, his hand sloppily placed on top of the door handle. Naruto pushed the handle with anticipation and swung the metal entry open, revealing the decorated guest room, revealing his past.

All eyes turned to him, yellow, brown, blue, and red, the color he missed so much.

"Naruto!" Kushina shouted out, her eyes were wide as she quickly stood up and ran towards her son, arms wide and opened as she threw herself on him. The women sobbed into the blonde's hoodie, the grasp she had on him was tight, but loving and gentle. "Naruto.. I was so worried." The blonde was lost for words, as he stared ahead of him, looking at everyone else in the room, who's eyes were filled with relief and the weight on the shoulders lifted.

"Oh my god… Naruto!" Ino's eyes filled with tears as she ran over to the two and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest.

After what seemed like forever Kushina and Ino let go of the suffocating blond, looking at him with eyes still damp with tears." Are you okay!?" the redhead frantically asked him," did they do anything to you?"

"Like rape you!?"

"What!?"

"Or make you do ridiculous things?!"

"What are you tw-"

"More importantly, I want to see the Uchiha!" Kiba yelled from the back.

"Dobe if you run so fast you're going to trip on the stairs one of these days and I won't be responsible for the hos-" Sasuke walked into the scene, Naruto standing at the doorway with a blonde and a redhead huddled around him. He eyed the two before looking away and stared at Naruto, who in return, grinned.

"Sasuke," Naruto started," meet my family and friends.."

"Hn." Sasuke examined Naruto's so called 'family and friends.' In all honesty, he expected a better.. first impression from them.
A little introduction from each of them would've been nice, but they all stood there and stared at them, not evening batting an eye.

Since no one wanted to start, the Uchiha started first.

"Nice to meet all of you," he started. His voice bold and loud for everyone in the room to hear." my name is Uchiha Sasuke. I hoped you were comfortable while staying in this mere guest room." The corners of his mouth curved upward in an attempt to put on a fake smile. "We don't have much. And hopefully my parents didn't startle you, they are very protective of territory and family."

"Yeah, we learned that already." Kiba spat out annoyingly as Akamaru sat next to him, baring his teeth.

"Kiba!" Ino turned around, looking away from the perfect Uchiha to glare at her stupid friend and his cockiness.

Naruto inwardly laughed at how polite and formal Sasuke was being to his company, only five minutes ago he was racing down the freeway saying 'yolo right?' The words that slipped out of Sasuke's mouth got Naruto everytime he remembered it, the rest of the way he was laughing his guts out.

Naruto held down a loud laugh and settled with a quiet chuckle, no one noticed it.

"And who might you be? Care you introduce yourself?" Sasuke's toned dropped an octave dangerously low as he looked over at the scoffing Kiba.

"I didn't think you would care! You're so kind." Kiba mocked and cleared his throat before continuing," Names Inuzuka Kiba."

"You're right, I don't care. Name suits you though, Inu for dog." Sasuke smirked," That's downright correct."

Kiba mouth dropped open at the insult.

"I know this is a bit rude but," Sasuke looked away from the idiotic Kiba that Naruto was now laughing at to glance at everyone else," could you please state your business and then leave." he said sternly, throwing a fake polite smile in there somewhere.

Naruto noticed Kushina's stare at Sasuke, cold, bold, and defining. Though Sasuke was at least a foot taller that the women, she had no trouble glaring up at him without moving her head upwards.

The blonde glanced at his father, who was just.. there. Minato's face was expressionless as he looked at his wife, and then back at the Uchiha.

"We're here to see Naruto, and we want to-" Ino started, her voice agonizingly high pitched to Sasuke's displeasure, he held back his wince the best he could.

"We're just here.. to see Naruto." All eyes turned on Minato, his eyes closed as he changed his poster and was leaning against the arm of the couch. His arms crossed against his chest and his left leg placed over his right.

"What!?" Kushina flipped back around, her hair making a red wave as she did so. She glared at her husband, grinding her teeth," You said you would support what I did!"

Minato sighed and propped himself off the couch as he opened his eyes to look at Kushina, his whole world. "Kushina, I as Hokage cannot allow tradition to be broken, even if my son's own freedom and protection is on the line…"

The red haired women's glare dropped, as she staggered back. She stopped, the ends of her hair almost touching Naruto behind her.

"Wise words, Hokage-sama," Sasuke chuckled," now, I suppose your little reunion is done, you barely saw him yesterday, surely twenty-four hours wasn't that long."

Ino looked up at Sasuke, her eyes stinging with anger," No! We are not leaving, not until Naruto comes back with us!" She screamed out. This time, Sasuke didn't hold back his painful wince as he massaged his temples with his two index fingers. "Even without the Hokage backing us up, we'll get Naruto back whether you like it or not!"

"I'm afraid that's improbable… and most definitely impossible." Neji said out of the blue, catching everyone's attention. No one remembered he was really there until he spoke up." As tradition goes, a woman or a man of a woman's size, height-wise, is a victim of Konoha's queer custom. For a woman or a man can be kidnapped, and forced to become their captors bride." he glanced at Naruto from across the room."There is no loophole, there is no solution. Only way out of it all, is death. Of course if you try to run away you'll always be found.. that is if your husband wants to find you."

Ino looked away from Neji, unlike everyone else who were staring at him with expressionless faces. The blonde turned around to look at Naruto, his eyes quickly clashing with hers when she looked. Naruto stared into the girls eyes, seeing all of the mixed and emotions.. but what he saw most, was plea.

The look in her eyes almost sent Naruto down the highway to hell. The blonde knew he should be on his family's side, revolting and rebelling against Sasuke who stood beside him.

But whenever he thought of that, it flickered on and off like a light switch trying to be balanced in the middle, he remembered all the things Sasuke and he did in just, one, day. In just one day, Naruto had already began to trust the Uchiha, to let loose when around him. The miniature fights they had that would always end up with them laughing. The great food Sasuke had treated him to ( food only matters to Naruto), and all the places the Uchiha had taken him.

The incident in the arcade when both of their consoles shut off due to overheating, when Sasuke slipped on spilt wine during dinner. When Naruto would just remember everything that happened today, a thought inside his head told him he had never been this care free and happy in a long time.

But the feeling of guilt would always shoot Naruto right through his chest and end up ripping his heart.

"If one chooses to stop a kidnapping, the council and," Neji paused glancing over at Minato before continuing," the Hokage-sama himself, will sentence severe punishment on the guilty."

"You know what gets me every time?" Kiba chucked darkly," I sit around sometimes, thinking, why the fuck we have this stupid tradition anyways?" He growled, frustrated and angry," If this stupid tradition could just dig its own grave and just disappear, Sakura wouldn't be dead! And Naruto wouldn't be here, we all wouldn't be here!"

Naruto's eyes widened, remembering what Sasuke had said during the day when he first found out Sai was going after Ino. He stared down at the blonde, sadness and worry filling his eyes for a split second before looking away, pained.

'Tradition is Tradition...' he repeated in his head.

The bickering started between Sasuke and Kiba. The Uchiha calm and collected, the dog lover furious and confused.

Sasuke's temper started to run low when more of Naruto's pathetic friends went against him. When he finally couldn't take it anymore, he put his foot down, glaring at all of them. He quickly grabbed Naruto, wrapping his arms around the smaller ones waist and hooking him over.

"I'm afraid I will have to put a stop to this," The Uchiha glared at them all, his eyes growing fierce and displeased," I ask all of you to leave the Uchiha property, and my future spouse will not follow out." he growled, his voice dangerously low.

"You're a monster!" Ino yelled as she tried to get her hands on the Uchiha, wanting to rip him and destroy him in two." If you really loved Naruto, you wouldn't trap him here!"

"Who the fuck asked for your opinion and statement?" Sasuke stared downward at Ino. The blonde girl stared up at him in fear as his eyes bore holes into her. She looked back at Naruto, pleading for him to rebel against the beast before them. They all looked at the blonde boy, wanting no more than Naruto just to come home with them.

But their worlds crumbled apart when Naruto looked at Ino, a small smile forming his face for a second before disappearing and mouthing the words, silent, but deadly.

"Go.."

"Naruto…" Kushina's eyes saddened even more, the bags below her eyes showing how fatigue she was, letting her son go like this. "please.." she begged as she walked over to him. Naruto didn't bat an eye at her, refusing to glance at his mother. He looked away from Ino and glanced upwards at Sasuke for a few moments before closing his eyes and grasping the hand that was wrapping around his waist.

"I'll be in my room.." he gently pushed the hand away from him before turning on his heels and walking out of the room, and out of the lot's lives.

"Naruto!" Kushina followed him out, her hand held onto her most valuable possession."Naruto! Please, wait."

The blonde turned around and waited for his mother to catch up, his dull and expressionless eyes looking away.

She grabbed his hand, loosening his fingers and placing the bright necklace in his hands," Keep this… it was Kyuubi's.."

"Kyuubi?" Naruto looked over at her, his head facing down as confusion and curiosity taking over his mind," You never told me…"

"Another time… Dear…," Naruto waited for that familiar smile to grace upon the woman's face.. but it never came. She leaned over and kissed her son on the forehead, removing the stray strands of hair as her hands dropped to her side, letting Naruto's go as she turned on her heels and walked back to the guest room, where everyone else waited, mouthing a few words before she left his side…

"Be careful…Naruto"

AND DONE! …. its not all that good, I know hehe….

But right now I'm in the middle of revising Beauty I Shall Behold, only because its a piece of crap… literally. I didn't like how fluffy I made it and all the mistakes i put in it, so I'm going to be slowly revising all of the chapters while I work on this one.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter~!
