*~*Chapter 16– Telling the "Parents"*~*

AN~ Thank you to all my loyal readers. IM AM SOOO SORRY! I HAVEN"T UPDATED IN FOREVER! MY excuse is overhomeworkitis? That and writers laziness? O.o again I'm sorry. And I tried writing smut for this chap? Cause Narusaufan101 my friend from DA requested it? And it turns out that it doesn't fit in this chapter. I MIGHT have it in 17? I make no promises. I said the thing bout a lemon and I only got 3 reviews encouraging it so that wasn't enough to motivate me. On to chapter where some explosions of madness happen!

NARUTO"S POV- The sun was shining in my face. It was so bright that it woke me from my coma like sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I squinted at the brightness. I rubbed at my eyes as I yawned. Then I realized that an arm was around my waist and a forehead rested against the side of my head, breathe tickling my ears. I blushed slightly and a smile made its way into my features. I like waking up like this. In the arms of my only love. I slid an arm around his waist and scooted closer to him. I rested my head on top of his stroking his raven locks with my free hand. I closed my eyes again. I don't want to go anywhere. I wish I could stay like this forever. There isn't any rush.

Sasuke opened his eyes slowly.

"Hey Blondie." He said his voice still groggy with sleep. He put his hand over his mouth and yawned.

"Hey let me see those hot lips of yours." I said to my sleepy love who smirked and closed the distance between us. Our faces melded into one until our lungs screamed in defiance.

"Hey I just remembered something." Sasuke said to me.

"What?" I said dreamily, still on high from our kiss.

"We still haven't told Iruka or Tsunade, I forgot all about it."

"Aww." I whined

"If you want I'll be the one to tell them. You don't have to do anything if you don't want. I just thought they should know."

"Really? Would you do that for me?"

Yes."

"But Sasuke, doesn't Tsunade scare you? She has a terrible temper and her brute strength? I don't know who's temper is worse, hers or Sakura's. That and Tsunade has an overprotective tendency when it comes to me strong enough to rival Iruka's."

"A little, but I want them to be ok with us so I don't think I'll do anything to get them to except us."

"You know that it'll be hard because when you left… I - I wasn't so good. I became obsessed with bring you back and I got….. Depressed." I could feel the sadness coming back at that thought.

"Well I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere."

"Well let's go then." I said. Then something struck me "Why?" I asked confused.

"Why what?" Sasuke asked confused as well.

"Why are you doing this all for me? They're my problem, my parental figures. So why?" I asked of him.

"Because I love you and their opinion matters to you."

"I'm sorry Sasuke; I'm still not used to the thought of someone loving me. I grew up being hated, beat up, exiled and cursed for something I can't control."

"Well I love you Naruto."

Then I grinned my famous foxy grin.

"Let's go." He said pulling me out of bed after he escaped my embrace he loved so much. He told me that one time. That he loves when I hold him because he feels safe and loved. I told him it was funny because that's how I feel with his arms around me.

We got dressed and went to the Hokage's office. Tsunade and Iruka were there already as we requested. So was Kakashi because he said something about wanting to see his little dolphin's reaction.

We came into the room holding hands.

Kakashi smiled and Tsunade looked at us skeptically.

I was really nervous. I was so nervous I was shaking. Sasuke rubbed his thumb slowly over my hand. He did it just slow enough that it went unnoticed. Sasuke nodded to me and I finally found it in me to speak.

"Tsunade, Iruka..." I said with a slightly shaky voice.

"We have something to tell you." Sasuke finished seeing my wavering.

"Naruto and I-"

"No." Tsunade said coldly, narrowing her eyes at him.

"If you two have something to say, I want to hear it from Naruto."

My eyes widened in terror. I already had a hard enough time talking in the first time. I took a deep calming breathe.

"We came to tell you that Sasuke and I are dating."

Tsunade's eye twitched." Is that all?" She asked through clenched teeth.

"We wanted your approval." I continued.

Iruka was glaring daggers at Sasuke. Tsunade looked about ready to explode.

"Tell me something Naruto."

"Yes?"

"Do you really like him?"

"Very much." I answered.

"Uh huuhhh."

"Are you sure you actually love him?"

"Yes." I answered

"HE makes you happy?"

"So happy." I said smiling

"Fine."

"Fine what?" I asked

"I'll accept your relationship with Sasuke…"

"Really! Thank you! I yelled glomping Tsunade

"On one condition."

"What?" I asked my face falling.

"Yes, you have rules until I give my final ok."

"Sasuke." Tsunade said looking to him.

"Yes?" Sasuke answered.

"Do you think it's fair to have conditions?"

"Yes."

"Why!" I yelled at Tsunade.

"Because you're young, I'm not sure your "love" is actually love. I think its lust.

I folded my arms over my chest and puffed out my cheeks.

Sasuke noticed me pouting and smiled and blushed a tiny bit. Little did I know he was thinking about how cute I am when I pout.

"So what are the conditions?" Sasuke asked

"You're going to have to do some things." Then Tsunade pulled out an envelope that was HUGE!

"Oh wow." I muttered

"You have to complete all of these." Tsunade said looking at Sasuke

Sasuke looked at me and said ok.

"These are the rules-"

You can't see Naruto until they're completely finished. No sneaking and seeing each other either.

No complaining. Treat them all like missions. If you can do that I'll know you're serious.

Sasuke and I stared at each other. Sasuke nodded his head. "It'll be fine, I can do this."

He turned to Tsunade. "I agree to all terms and the task. I'll do it with out question."

"Also if you want my approval boys then no sex. Not unless you're getting married. Besides you can wait for that."

My face went crimson and so did Sasuke's.

"Umm … too late." I squeaked

"What! Tsunade screamed with her eyebrow twitching.

"Yeah umm, we already lost our virginity to each other."

The she turned her deathly gaze on Sasuke. "Why would you do this to my innocent little Naruto!" Tsunade bellowed at Sasuke. Tsunade looked about ready to wring his neck. So did Iruka.

"Both of you have already lost your innocence! Iruka yelled finally piping in. He was mad. He was insanely pissed that I had given my innocence to Sasuke. It didn't matter to him that I had both of Sasuke's virginities as well. I looked down and Sasuke ran his thumb over my hand comfortingly.

"Yes."

"Is he what you really want Naruto!" he yelled pointing a tan finger at my dark half.

"Yes."

"Are you SURE? You haven't really dated much. How do you know he's really the one you truly love! I still can'-"

I had enough I can't take it. "STOP IT! Enough already! I came here to tell you people about my lover. I hoped that you would understanding parental figures! I guess not! Everyone else has accepted it! Why can't you guys! Why must you question my decision? I LOVE Sasuke! Yes love! I'm sure it is! I've never felt like this before! So YES I LOVE SASUKE UCHIHA! If you can't accept us than I'm sorry but I'm going to date him regardless.

To put it simply, Iruka and Tsunade were shocked; they didn't expect me to explode like that.

"Sorry Naruto." They said to me in unison.

"Its fine I guess" letting out and annoyed huff.

Sasuke was shocked quite a bit himself. Naruto just yelled at his most loved adults over him. Sure he'd seen me argue and yell with Tsunade but never Iruka. He couldn't believe it.

Sasuke moved in front of me having his back to Iruka and Tsunade I was still pissed. He leaned his forehead against mine making me blush. He looked me in the eyes.

"It's fine, they'll get used to it. Give them time. Don't worry about me. I expected them to react this way. I'm prepared to do anything for this." Sasuke whispered.

"Why?" I whispered back

"Because I love you." Sake whispered in my ear and gave me a quick kiss and moved back to its place beside me.

Tsunade and Iruka noticed my extreme mood change. Before I had been raging pissed and now I was calm and happy. Tsunade and Iruka were staring at Sasuke like a god in awe and amazement.

"I wonder what Sasuke told him to calm him down." Iruka wondered out loud.

"I don't know but whatever it was it sure did work. That's for sure."

"When do I start this project? Sasuke asked going through the folder.

"First thing tomorrow morning."

"Ok, how long will this take?"

"About 4 weeks if you work quickly."

"Ok that's fine." Sasuke said although his face visibly paled.

"FOUR WEEKS!" I whined.

"It'll be fine Four weeks will go by in no time. Then I'll be able to be with you soon."

"Come on, I want to spend as much time with you as possible before you have to go and I don't get to see you for a MONTH." I said pulling Sasuke towards the door.

"Wait Naruto?"

"Yes Iruka?" I said turning my head toward him.

"Would you like to join me for ramen for lunch tomorrow? I'll treat."

"Sure." I said grinning

"Ok then, see you then."

Then Sasuke and I walked back to his house. When we got there I went to grab a pop. When I went into his living room he wasn't there. "Sasuke?"

"I'm in the garden! Sasuke's voice called. The cool thing about Sasuke's house is that it has a garden in the middle. His house is in a huge square with the garden within that square. You have wood walkways all around it. It leads to different rooms in the house. Then there's a breathtaking garden with a pond in the middle. There are also stone walkways with beautiful flowers on either side. He's always taken good care of it because he knew how much his mother had loved it. I looked around and saw Sasuke laying on the porch swing that was in the corner facing the garden. The swing was white and it had two red pillows and a blue blanket thrown over the back. I walked over to him and he looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back and laid on top of him. When I looked up I was met by my pink faced Uchiha.

"Hehe you still blush so hard when I do that."

"You find my blushing amusing?"

"Yes its hysterical. It's funny because people hardly ever see you blush. Well besides me because I cause all of them. It's just cute."

He started to say something but I put my finger over his lips. "Shh just relax."

Then I took my finger off of his lips. Then I sat back took a sip of my drink. I sat there sipping my Sunkist and watching the wind ripples the pond. Sasuke sat up too so I was in his lap. He wrapped his arms around me while I sipped my drink.

"You want a sip?"

"Sure." Sasuke said.

He took one of his arms from around my waist and took the drink taking his sip. After he got his sip I finished it off and laid it beside me on the floor. Then I leaned back against Sasuke again. " Hey lie back down."

"Ok." Sasuke said doing as he was told. Sasuke laid back down head propped up with a pillow. Then I flipped over and laid my head against his chest. Sasuke let one of his legs slide to the ground and he rocked us slowly and steadily back and firth. I laid there watching the sun set and listening to Sasuke's steady heart beat. Sasuke laid his arms around me when he was sure I was comfortable, holding my back pulling me close to him. I sighed. I could stay like this forever. Then I slowly drifted to sleep.
