Chapter 18

The Black Knight and the Silver Kitsune

0-o-0-o-0

The last preliminary fight had just ended, and Orochimaru's team was the victor. Walking down the corridors, Kabuto's head began to hurt as if something were about to blow up inside it. It wasn't a pleasant feeling at all, more like painful.

The dim lights went off, and as they slowly flickered back on, they could see Kabuto being forced out of his body, and a silver haired fox running from them.

Kurochi screamed and cried for help as he ran, but there was no one. Everyone that would be there had gone to their rooms to heal themselves, and the audience wasn't allowed in here without a pass or escort.

All of a sudden the silver haired boy was tackled to the ground by something black.

"You, what the hell?" He could hear Orochimaru hiss before backing up. "Why is someone like you here?"

The person, who was sitting on him might I add, looked at his pale hands and blinked, seeing things clearer than he ever thought possible. "I don't know. One moment I'm returning from a mission, the next I'm thrown here… on top of this person."

"You got lucky Kurochi. So very lucky, tell your mother he won't be as lucky next time." Orochimaru threatened before he and his team ran off.

It was then that the person got off of Kurochi, and he could see what the other looked like. It was a man with pale skin, black hair to his neck, and coal eyes. "Thank you!" Kurochi cried out, attaching himself to this person.

"Um, you're welcome?" The raven answered hesitantly. "Hey, you're a boy?"

Kurochi giggled and moved away, and indeed showed the raven he was a boy. When Kabuto had been forced out of him, the appearance changed. Kurochi once again had his moonlight skin, silver eyes, and his hair was extremely long and a brighter silver again. "Yeah… I'm Kurochi, and can I ask the name of my black knight?"

The black eyed man blushed and stood up. "My name's Sai."

"Thank you Sai!"

"Sai!?" The aforementioned man and Kurochi looked over to see Itachi standing dumbfounded at the end of the hallway.

Kurochi jumped up and went over to his mother's husband. "Itachi-san, do you know where Mama is? I know you two love each other, but please, I want to see Mama."

"You're Kurochi, am I right?" When the silver haired boy nodded, Itachi sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Well come on, and bring Sai."

"Where did your father go!?" Kyuubi was now ranting, furious that Itachi would even think of something like this. It was madness and could get him killed!

Everyone was talking about something, some were even trying to calm Kyuubi down (which wasn't working obviously). A knock on the door stopped everyone, and Itachi walked in, followed with Sai, and a boy in Kabuto's clothes. Kyuubi began hyperventilating until the silver haired boy got closer, and then thoroughly tackled him.

"Kurochi!" Kyuubi called out. After showering the boy with motherly kisses and tight hugs, Kyuubi held Kurochi at arms length. "Come on, let's get you changed out of these disgusting clothes."

There was a long pause of silence as they listened to Kyuubi fuss about one thing or another. Then there was also the constant whines from Kurochi about what Kyuubi was trying to stick on him.

Finally Kurochi burst out of the restroom with only a towel on him, yelling at his mother. "Mama, I can dress myself thank you very much!" He huffed. "I didn't spend all those years in my mind crying and sniveling like an infant. I know a lot, I trained myself, quite amazing what the mind is." He snapped his fingers and in a flash he was all dressed again. He wore form-fitting black pants and a loose, white, long sleeve shirt. Behind him were seven silver fox tails that had a red tip and the same colored fox ears. "There." He spoke, quite pleased with himself.

"Kurochi… how did you get away?" Kyuubi asked, sitting down and pulling Itachi to sit down next to him.

Kurochi blinked and then smiled brightly. "I've tried to get away a lot really. It's easy to force a possessor out of your head, as long as he hasn't pushed your mind out. But every time I would get him out, I would be captured by Orochimaru, or one of the guards that he always kept around me. This time my black knight saved me!" Kurochi yipped, flinging himself at Sai, bringing them to the ground. "Black Knight-sama!" Kurochi's tails waved back and forth in happiness. "This time, he fell out of nowhere and landed on me, but in turn he caused Orochimaru to leave!" The silver haired boy soon leaned up and gave Sai a kiss on the cheek.

Yoko walked up to the black haired boy who was still sitting on the ground. "Hm… Tamaro-kun, get me my book."

At his 'wife's' request, Tamaro pulled a book out of a bag that Yoko had and gave it to the redhead. Yoko stuck his nose in the book and began flipping through pages relentlessly. When he stopped at a page, finally, he set the book down in front of Sai. "I thought so, he looks familiar. He's a shadow neko demon… Nekomata-chan's son."

"Who's Nekomata?" Shikamaru asked.

Yoko sighed and sat down on the full bed, beside Itachi who had pulled Kyuubi into his lap to make room. "She's the two-tailed cat demon, Nibi no Nekomata. My youngest sister, but the second to youngest sibling. She ran away from home when we were kids, and there were rumors floating around two years before I was sealed that she was going to have a child. Then after nine weeks, a shadow neko demon came to me with a message, my sister had a child. The message stated she was living in the mountains with other shadow neko demons. This of course, was sent to all her siblings. Adopted and all. So when Houkou got wind of it, he went up there, and sealed her inside a human. Before she was attacked though, she sent her child to Konoha."

Someone slammed there fists on the table with a loud growl and everyone turned to see Naruto with an angry expression on his face. "I don't get it! Why the hell is Houkou so bent on destroying everything!?" He shouted burying his face in his hands. "Is he just looking to make everyone miserable!?"

"He's messed up in the head." Mikoto answered. "When my mother died he went insane, and of course, blamed Obito- because she died giving birth to him. That's most likely why Madara is still with him, because deep down he still loves Houkou and if he leaves, he'll kill himself more than likely. I can't blame him, even I still love him, but it's what he's doing now that I can't stand. That's also why Nakaro is there still… to keep Madara from going insane from keeping my father from killing himself."

The room was soon swallowed by silence.

"You mean Kita-chan?"

Mikoto nodded at Tamaro's guess.

"Yeah, I could understand that. When they started dating, she was everything to him, and he was very paranoid he would lose her, but when he proposed and she accepted, he didn't worry as much because she was his. No one could take her from him… except death, and it did." Tamaro explained.

"Naru-chan…"

Naruto turned over to face his lover, who greeted him with a light kiss. "Hn?"

Sasuke chuckled. "You're starting to sound like me, dobe. Anyways, two things… is it normal for incest these days?"

Naruto yawned, sitting up and waiting till Sasuke was sitting up as well. "No, not really. But, families like ours, who stay within and basically don't branch out because there are already so many people in it, it eventually happens. Now, what's the second thing?"

"Come here." Sasuke said, his eyes lighting up and a smile taking over his face as he dragged Naruto out of the bed and to the balcony of their room. "See that, it's a full moon."

Naruto stared in awe at how such a simple thing made Sasuke light up with joy. "Wow, it's so close…" He murmured.

"Naru-chan, you wanna touch the moon?" Sasuke offered, holding his hands out.

The blonde nodded and moved his hand to stroke at Sasuke's pale cheek. "Just did."

"Haha, now I'm going to kiss the sun without burning to death!" He yipped, pulled Naruto close and kissing the top of his head. Sensing an opportunity, Sasuke took the tan man by the waist and lifted him up. "Now reach! Help me get that moon so it can replace the tiny diamond on your engagement ring!"

Naruto's entire body stopped at that second, but hearing Sasuke's laughter, the smile on his face grew larger. "Hai… lift me higher!" He cheered the raven on.

Sasuke grinned and pulled the blonde back down to him, immediately attacking his lips with his own. The kitsune weaved his fingers into the black strands, and as he was going to pull the raven closer, Sasuke pulled away from him and set his back on his feet. He stepped back once, and reached into his pocket, kneeling down on one knee, he gave produced a black velvet box with the Uchiha symbol as a latch.

"Uzumaki Naruto- future king of the Makai, future Hokage as well, I love you. I can't tell you this enough for you to get how much I love you. If there was a competition of who receives the most love, you would be the all time 1st place that no one could ever reach, and I want to be the one who gives you all that love… I'm asking you, will you marry me and become Uchiha Naruto?"

Sasuke closed his eyes and opened the box which had an aqua stone in the middle, an onyx stone on each side, and three diamonds following that, all on a thin white gold band. He kneeled patiently for an answer, just waiting for his kitsune to say anything.

"Anyone got something that can reach the moon! I want it out of the sky! It's so ugly compared to the ring I just got!" He fake yelled into their room, as soon as this happened, Sasuke's eyes snapped open and he watched the blue eyed demon turn to him with those deadly blue eyes that put the day time sky to shame. "And to answer your question Sasuke… close your eyes."

Sasuke re-closed his eyes, and when he felt the ring being taken he smiled, but waited to for the blonde to tell him to open his eyes. Though, that didn't last long since his eyes automatically opened when something rammed into his stomach.

There, now crying, was Naruto. He had tackled him and began to cry on his shirt. "Of course you idiot! Who's the usuratonkachi now? And just to prove I mean it… I'm gonna start announcing my self as Naruto the future Uchiha! Take that you stupid world!"

"Or," Started the Uchiha. "We could go into the village during the week break of the tournament, maybe even tomorrow, and find someone who will give us a quick marriage, and then after this is over, we can have our honey moon. Then, at the rest of the tournament, you are Uchiha Naruto."

Naruto nodded and continued to lay on his future husband, who didn't seem to mind. It was a hazy atmosphere and each were content with each other. "You wanna move?"

"Nope."

"Good, me neither… convenient blanket." He murmured, taking the corner of the blanket that was in the doorway, and pulled it over them. "Anyone asks in the morning… some hooker fell asleep while having sex with you… and the hooker's name is Uchiha Naruto."

"Nah, I'll say I proposed to the love of my life, they accepted, and we were too happy-tired to move and don't worry, I'm not naked!" He joked.

Naruto laughed, leaning up to give Sasuke one last kiss. "Good night Sasuke, love you."

"Love you too Naru-chan."

"--ik--ru… -ak- -p."

"Sh--ama--… w--e u-."

"Shik--u… wake u-."

"Shikamaru… wake up!!"

And for one who is lazy 24/7… he sure did hit Kiba very hard. Well… he was sleeping, what else did you expect?

Chibi snikered and pointed at the fallen Inuzuka. "I'm so glad I didn't draw the short straw." He giggled, throwing the un-cut straw at Kiba, who lay in a whimpering heap.

Shino wiped off the sweat from his forehead and crawled over to the dog demon, taking his hand, curling up, and going back to sleep.

Yusuke yawned and pulled his shirt over his head. Just as he was about to strip to his boxers, the door burst open and Kiya stood in its wake. "Okay man-whores. I was put in charge of rounding you guys up… so get dressed." And the door locked behind her.

"Get out first, pervert!" The revived Kiba barked at the kitsune. Chibi sighed and began changing, as did Yusuke, who flung his worn boxers over at the neko's head, who in turn ran around in naked circles, screaming his head off. "What are you doing!?" Kiba shrieked as the neko tripped and landed next to him (nakedly, I thought I might point out), and Shikamaru flung his boxers randomly somewhere and began to dress. "You're insane." And then Shino joined the group, except he put his boxers in the laundry basket instead of flinging them randomly. "I hate you all."

After some harsh words, a beating, cursing in many hand signs and languages, and even as far as trying to tear off a face, all five boys- including Kiba with a couple of scratches, bruises, and some trauma- were ready to meet the others.

"Alright, all rooms have been cleared out." Kiya reported to Yoko.

Kushina looked over the group from beside her mother and counted all the people. "Kaasan, we're missing Sasuke-kun and Naru-chan."

"I had to clear out their room… no one was in there." Neji reported his side. "They must have gone out earlier."

And true to the guess, here we find Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki (not for long) Naruto roaming the streets of the nearby villagers.

The two had been searching for thirty minutes now for anything that remotely looked like somewhere to get married. Naruto finally got fed up with it and went over to a fruit stall. "Excuse me ma'am. I'm looking for somewhere to get married fast, would you happen to know where?"

The girl with light purple hair, one orange eye and one blue eye nodded. "Yeah, I'm off right about now. The name's Hikariga. My friends call me Kari… And I do know a place like that… I'm actually a close friend of the person who will help." She explained, yelling a goodbye to her employer, and leading them down a wooded path. "He owns the temple here. He and his husband, a dingo demon, own it."

And soon enough, Kari had led them to a large stone temple. "I'll call him out here to meet you."

"Please." Naruto replied.

"Haku!!"

Leo Vulpes: Actually, I have a question to ask all of you-

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WHEN NARUTO ENDS!!
