Drunk In Vegas

Chapter 16

Hello! Thanks again for the names ^_^ It is my birthday! I am finally sixteen. Well, here is your chapter, before another busy week begins again! See you at the end!

When the door closed behind his back, he felt like he just walked into hell out of free will.

"Please pull your shoes and hang your jackets over there. Feel like you are at your own home Naruto." Mebuki smiled before disappearing into the kitchen. Naruto followed her orders and gulped silently because he felt Kizashi's eyes on his back.

When the three of them went to the living room and sat down Kizashi was the one to interrupt the awkward silence.

"So Naruto! How is it that I've never heard about you before? My daughter usually tells me immediately, when a guy caught her eye", he said winking at his blushing daughter.

"DAD!"

Naruto just chuckled.

"Dad, Naruto is my…eh…"

"I am her boss."

Sakura looked to Naruto with wide eyes, trying to find a reason why he interrupted her. But his eyes were trained on Kizashi.

"Oh, really? I see! Then your name must be Namikaze, isn't that so? I have heard a lot about you!"

Naruto smirked at hearing that. "Really?"

"Oh yes!" Kizashi smiled. "She never failed to complain about you and how you are treating her at the workplace. Never once did she utter a nice word about you."

Naruto sweatdroped and Sakura desperately tried to save the situation.

"No-No-No-No! You are misunderstanding something here! I-I never said something like that! Why should I?"

Kizashi turned to her confused.

"Oh, isn't he the 'egotistical ass, that seems to have forgotten that we are not living during the times of the slave trade anymore'? I could have sworn it was your boss!"

Sakura hung her head and her shoulders slumped. It was hopeless. Naruto raised his eyebrows. 'Egotistical ass'? But not wanting to throw a fit, he just shrugged and made a mental note to talk about it later with her. That is if he came out of her parent's house alive and in all pieces.

"Food is ready!" Mebuki shouted from the kitchen and Sakura rose up immediately, very thankful for the distraction. Naruto maintained a calm expression as he followed Sakura into the kitchen and Kizashi just chuckled lowly behind his hand, as he also went into the dining room. Kizashi took his seat at the head of the long table, with Sakura to his left and Naruto next to Sakura. He needed her in case violence may occur. Sakura's mother came out of the kitchen with a hot pot in her hands and she smiled at Naruto while putting it on the table. After taking her seat beside her husband they all started eating and Sakura and Naruto kept stealing side glances at each other.

"Soo… what do we owe your visit Mr. Namikaze? Is there a special occasion?", Kizashi interrupted the silence that had descended itself on the kitchen. Naruto gulped and his eyes looked at Sakura begging for help and she sighed, while putting her fork down. She wouldn't need it for a while.

"Mum…Dad…there is a reason Naruto and I are here today… We have something important to tell you." Kizashi and Mebuki rose their eyebrows and noticed how Sakura and Naruto looked at each other.

"Is there a problem honey? What is wrong?" Sakura's mother furrowed her eyebrows in worry and gently took Sakura's hand in her own.

"No mom everything is fine…more or else…It is just that, when we were at the business meeting in Las Vegas we… we kind of… ehm…"

"We got married."

Naruto could not see Sakura struggling with her words any longer, so he thought that it was better if he just broke the news onto them.

Horrible decision really.

"You, you what?!" Sakura's mother looked at them with eyes as big as sausages, while Kizashi looked like he still had to digest what he just heard.

"What do you mean you got married?" Naruto just sighed and looked at Sakura so as to tell her to proceed with the explanation. "Well, it was not planned. We… we were just so happy that the business had been a success and then the party… I guess we just caught up in the moment Dad…" Kizashi who looked like he finally understood what was going on interrupted her. "That shouldn't be a problem then! Just-Just get an annulment already!" He wasn't all too pleased with the situation. His baby girl was married with a guy he barely knew! How was he supposed to react?

Naruto cringed and Kizashi's eyes narrowed. "We-We tried but we have to wait for at least three months before going to court. I am really sorry Mr. Haruno."

That was when Kizashi exploded.

"What is that supposed to mean? You are sorry? Well, I am sorry too you little punk! I do not give a damn if you are the director of some lame ass Cooperation, but you lay your hands on my little girl and I will kill you! I just hope for your sorry ass that you did not force yourself on my daughter! I want an annulment as early as possible and once this NONSENSE is over I never want to see around my girl any longer!"

Naruto got angry from Kizashi's little speech and stood up.

"Now listen to me Mister. I do understand your irritation – I understand that all too well. Your reaction is comprehensible, but do not accuse me of such thing. I was shocked as well when I woke up in the morning in bed with your daughter without any memory of the previous night! I would never force myself upon your daughter, so please stop acting childish and let us find a solution to this like mature adults!"

That was apparently not the right answer and not the one Kizashi was expecting. Sakura and Mebuki could just stare with open mouths. She was still thinking about how her daughter could be married without her consent. She knew about almost every single thing going on in her life!

"I will teach you manners young man, especially in my house! No one talks to me like that – you understand? I do not care if it is not possible by law or anything like that! I just want to away from my DAUGHTER! Now get out of my house and do not come near my family again!" Naruto opened his mouth to retort, but he was suddenly cut off.

"Daddy STOP!" Sakura stood up as well and went in front of Naruto in fear that a physical fight might occur. Kizashi's eyes widened as he saw his daughter stand in front of the guy he despised so much at that particular moment. She had not called him 'daddy' anymore since she had been a little child.

"Sa-Sakura this guy-"

"No Dad! I know that you are upset! Who wouldn't be? But please let us just explain the situation!"

Kizashi's anger flared up again. "What is there to explain? He obviously took advantage of your drunken state and got you into this situation! I know th-". Sakura's eyes widened before she burst out in anger. "You know NOTHING! I know that Naruto might not be your most favorite person in planet at the moment, but please consider him! We were both upset when we found out! It wasn't easy for us and it sure as hell wasn't easy for him to come here to tell my parents what had happened! Give him some credit Dad. Naruto is trying and he has never ever took advantage of me. Anything that had happened, happened with my consent, so do not accuse him of such thing. He would never do that to me."

Kizashi was still not yet convinced. Not even one bit.

"Girl! Men can be total jerks. I know that because I am one myself. He is not trustworthy and I expect you to believe me my child!"

Sakura crossed her arms and looked at him with a hard face. "Oh really? Then what is it with mum and yourself?"

"Don't compare him to me! This is different!"

Sakura closed her eyes. "I know why it is different Dad. It is because you love Mum. Well, let me tell you: I love Naruto."

At that particular moment the entire house was silent. Nobody even uttered a sound. Sakura's mother had dropped her fork that had been unused in her hand since some minutes and one was able to hear the water dropping from the pump into the sink.

"You…you what?" Sakura again was struggling to bring out a sentence so Naruto saw this as his queue to continue.

"In the beginning, we could not stand the other. We would be constantly picking on each other and fight – which of is mostly my fault. But then… we, or well actually I realized that there was no need to hide it any longer. I have been in love with your daughter for a long time. To be precise since the first day I have seen her. But I chose to act like a complete asshole to her and make her hate my guts which worked. But being so close to her for so long, made me snap internally. I just could not hold it in any longer. I confessed to her and told her my true feelings, and I was more than glad to find out that my feelings were mutual. I know I probably do not deserve her, but I guess I have always wanted and craved things I could not have. So I do understand your hate towards me."

Then for the first time that evening Mebuki spoke up. "Honey…?" She stood up and went to her husband, putting her hand on his shoulder. He turned to her and she gave him a small smile. "Honey, I know that you are upset. Believe it or not I am too, but just look at them. Doesn't Sakura look happy? Does she look like she is being mistreated? She is happy with him and if you look closer then you can see the look in their eyes and I am sure you do remember it all too well, don't you?" Kizashi followed his wife's advice and saw the look in Naruto's eyes. He saw the emotions that were by no fail directed to Sakura, his daughter. They showed a deep passion for her, undying love, adoration, possessiveness and much more – more than he could describe. Then he shifted to Sakura and saw a similar look. Her cheeks had a slight blush on them as she pondered over what Naruto had said and she gave him a small smile. Kizashi then realized that whatever he said, there was nothing he could do to tear them apart.

"Okay I get it." He caught the attention of both Naruto and Sakura and they looked at him startled.

"I get it. You love her and she loves you. I am not happy that you just went off and got married in some Vegas Fast-Marriage-Reception, but I guess I will have to accept that. Just make sure you take good care of my girl Uzumaki, or I swear I will make sure you'll never be able to have kids anymore in this life. Treat her right." Kizashi sighed as he put his arm over his wife's shoulders and she snuggled onto him, content with his speech.

Narutos features softened. "I promise I will. I won't let give her away anytime soon!"

Sakura laughed and shook her head. "I am so happy that everything is fine now-" This time it was Mebuki that interrupted her. "Who said that everything was fine young lady? I am not yet finished with you!" Sakura's eyes widened. "I was not even invited to your wedding! I could not go shopping for the dress with you, I could not plan the entire wedding with you! I will never forgive you for that!" Mebuki folded her arms and looked at Sakura in a mock-angry manner.

Sakura just laughed and hugged her mother. "Haha I am sorry Mum! Please forgive me!" Mebuki just shook her off. "Nope, not happening! You broke my heart – I am speechless." Sakura giggled. "Is there anything I can do so that you forgive me?"

Mebuki looked at her with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Well, you could do the laundry and cook for an entire month for us, while we go to Hawaii on vacation!" Sakura just shook her head. "Never! It is not worth it Mum!"

Mebuki put her hands on her hips. "It is! I wasn't invited to your wedding! What would the neighbors say if they found out…"

"MOM!"

"This would bring shame upon you… yeah that sounds like a good idea…"

"Mom stop, you are not going to convince me!"

All of them laughed and Naruto watched them and saw what a happy family they were. Even though they seemed to fight a lot, they loved each other dearly and were always there for the other.

He sighed and Kizashi drew him to the rest for a group hug which was entirely awkward because he was not used to it. A camera magically appeared and all Naruto could hear was:

"Everyone say CHEESE!" A flash appeared and their faces could be seen on the screen of the camera. All of them smiling with a toothy grin with an awkward Naruto in the middle.

Why couldn't he be like this with his family?

Omg people I am so sorry! I wrote this on my birthday which was like almost two months ago and I thought I would get finished on the same day. Well, sh*t happens. And then when I finally got enough time to write it my computer broke down. Seriously life was against me! And then after my father bought me a new laptop I couldn't figure it out since it was Windows 8 and the only thing I knew how to use was Windows 7 and Windows XP. So it took me a while to get used to it. I wrote this chapter as soon and as fast as possible. I hope you can forgive me, so I will stop my rambling and let you be. Thank you for reading and I apologize for any typos. I did not have any time to read it all over again.

Lots of love,

Your almondeyes97 :)
