3 months later...

Sasuke and Naruto headed for the flight of stairs with Sakura running after them. Itachi was still in his bedroom sleeping and didn't notice their whereabouts at the moment. Naruto was the first to jump onto the white rails and slide down.

Sasuke followed and called, "We've tried all summer but we just can't lose her!"

"Hey fellas!" Sakura cried and slid down after them. Luckily, she was wearing pants. "Wait up!"

"Quick!" Naruto jumped down and ran off with Sasuke close behind him. "Put on some speed!"

Sakura missed the mark and fell on her face. She sat up and rubbed it sadly. "That hurt..." she muttered and quickly ran after them. "Waiiiiitt!"

"When picking teams-" Sasuke started.

"Or friends!" Naruto cut him off.

"I never choose her!" The trio was out in the South Yard and he spotted the treehouse up ahead. He made a trmendous jump and made it inside. He beckoned Naruto in from the window.

Naruto smirked and jumped in as well. He wrote NO BIG-FOREHEADED GIRLS ALLOWED on a piece of paper and stuck it outside for Sakura to see. "You'd think she'd take a hint and learn to read!" he laughed.

Sakura stopped in her tracks in seeing that she was unwelcomed in their treehouse. She placed her hands on her hips and whined, "This really isn't fair!"

"We really couldn't care!" came Sasuke and Naruto's obnoxious replies.

"Boys it's all or none!" Sakura, in her rage, punched the tree, unaware of the huge amount of chakra she released on it. The tree shook violently, breaking the treehouse and causing its pieces to fall on her. "Ahhhh!"

At the nurse's room...

"Ow!" Sakura yelped as the nurse bandaged her arm. She sighed when the nurse tended to Sasuke and Naruto. "This is not my idea..."

"This isn't my idea," Naruto and Sasuke groaned at the same time, "Of fun!" The nurse frowned and dabbed cottons of alcohol onto their scrapes and cuts. "Yoww!"

After having their injuries treated, the children were sent back inside the castle. "Long before they met," the nurse remarked, putting away her equipment. "Sasuke and Sakura... were destined to be wedded."

"However, anyone could see," said her assistant, "The only point in which they didn't disagree was that the very thought of summertime was-"

"Dreaded!" they both tuned.

Sakura threw pillows at the boys and glared at them. "I can't believe you two!" she screamed, "You broke my left arm! Now I have a stinkin' cast! Darn it!"

"Hey, you were the one who punched the tree!" Naruto argued, "So it's actually YOUR fault!"

"No, it YOURS!"

"YOURS!"

"YOURS!"

"SHUT UP, DAMN IT!" Sasuke shouted, covering his ears. "Be any louder and my brother's BOUND to wake up! And he has low blood pressure so-"

The door slammed open and revealed a grumpier-looking Itachi staring...no- glaring at them. "What is all this noise?" he asked threateningly, his sharingan appearing with a crimson glow. The bags under his eyes were clearly visible too and his lips were dry and pale.

"Itachi!" Sakura squeaked and hid behind a pillow.

"Ehh..." Naruto mumbled, shuddering. "Sasuke!" he cried all of a sudden and hid behind the younger Uchiha. "It's a zombie!! Get him!"

Sasuke sweatdropped. "Naruto, it's just my brother..." he assured the cowering blonde.

"I asked a question," Itachi interrupted, "Now, ANSWER IT!"

"We were-" Sakura started.

"I don't need your pathetic reasons!" Itachi cut her off and left mumbling under his breath. "Stupid kids are...punngh! I never wanna deal with them..purrgmmmmfff.."

The trio sweatdropped. That guy's bizzare!

Naruto's stomach then growled...loudly. Everyone stared at him and he blushed, rubbing his empty belly. "Oops!" he said, "Hehe.. Sorry about that. But when my stomch's gots to go, it's gots to go!" He flashed a toothy grin and ran down to the kitchen. "Turkey, here I come!"

"Hey, Naruto!" Sakura called after him, "That turkey's for tonight's banquet!" Seeing that he didn't hear her, she jumped out of bed and followed him.

"What a loser," Sasuke whispered and decided to go after the two.

In the kitchen...

Naruto went through the pantries and found a box of choco-stix. "Noo!" he cried, "IT'S A RAMEN-LESS CASTLE!! I'M DOOMED!" His heart sank along with his stomach. "So...hungry..."

"NARUTO!" Sakura's cry came as she entered the kitchen.

Naruto whirled around, hitting his injured elbow on a water bucket. "Ow!" he yelled. The bucket fell over and its whole weight went down on his twisted ankle. Tears formed in his eyes and he let out an anguished cry. "Ahhhhhh! IT HURTS!!!! SOO MUCH!!"

"You're so stupid!" Sakura pointed out, rolling her eyes in annoyance. "I'm surprised Sasuke even hangs out with you!"

Sasuke walked into the kitchen, passed Sakura and Naruto, and took a juicy apple into his hand. He opened his mouth and bit into it, silently chewing. "..."

"Well?" Sakura asked.

"Well what?" Sasuke asked back.

"Don't answer a question with a question!"

"Why shouldn't I?" Sasuke glared at her and swallowed the piece of apple in his mouth. "I have a voice, don't I?"

"JERK!"

"Billborad brow."

"PINECONE HEAD!"

"Flat-face."

"SMALL-BRAINED DONKEY'S BUTT!"

"A stinkin' horse's a-"

"Cookies," Naruto stated.

Sasuke and Sakura stared at him as if he was the most retarded kid in the world. Well...maybe he WAS, but still... "HUH??"

"Do you have any cookies?" Naruto asked, looking around. "I'm starving here!"

"Naruto," Sakura grumbled and hit his head. "You sure do have a shorter attention span than this egotistic LOSER here!" She pointed at Sasuke.

"I know you are, but what am I?" Sasuke teased impassively, taking another delicate bite out of his apple.

"Ohhh!" Sakura squeaked.

As the Prince and Princess were having their argument, Naruto looked under the sink and found a pink material. He smirked and took it out. This is gonna be good...

"You're pathetic," Sasuke breathed, closing his eyes.

"That is it, Uchiha!" Sakura screamed. "I am going to SIT this one out! You are just too annoying!" She pulled up a chair and began to take her seat. "Sometimes, I just-"

POOOOOOOT!!!

Naruto snickered at the gassy sound. "Oh, man!!"

Sasuke was simply brought out of his bored stance. "What the hell was that?"

Sakura blushed deeply and stood up, looking down at the chair. A whoopie cushion?! "Naruto!" she walked up to him and kicked his bruised leg. When he fell to the floor crying, she huffed. "You deserved that!"

Sasuke had finally finished his fruit and thre it in the trash. "C'mon," he urged, "Lets get out and get some fresh air. It'll do us some good... I hope."

"And who made YOU boss?" Sakura asked.

"Me," Sasuke's short reply came, "Now, c'mon."

"Jerk."

"You know that's not gonna work, Sakura," Naruto muttered.

"Shut up, idiot!" Sakura gave him another good kick, earning a low grunt. "I don't need your opinions!"

"Hmph." Sasuke placed his hands in his pockets and went outside.

"Yo." Itachi stifled a yawn and walked into the kitchen wearing only his black and red robe. "What's for breakfast, little brother? I'm famished."

"Make your own dang breakfast!" Sasuke shouted, coming back in after hearing his brother's presence.

"Once again, you hurt my feelings so," Itachi mocked. He turned to the young Princess and greeted, "Good morning, beautiful blossom. My, you look LOVELY today." He took a glance at his younger sibling and smirked when he saw him scowling in disgust.

Sakura smiled timidly and blushed a bit. "Why, thank you."

"Hey!" Naruto waved, "Hey! Are you gonna compliment me, too eh, Itachi? Huh? HUH?? Oh, c'mon! I deserve some, too y'know! Telling that I am a handsome young ma- Ow!"

"I'd shut my trap if I were you," Itachi warned, hitting Naruto on the head with a frying pan. He looked at Sasuke once again and faked a smile. "Sasuke, make me some breakfast."

"Have the maids do it," Sasuke growled. But before he knew it, he had a baby blue apron attached to his waist and stuck to his torsoe. "What the heck?! ITACHI!"

"There," Itachi chucked lightly, "Now, you look like a maid! Ahem... I'll have scrambled eggs with hot cakes. Take it easy on the salt, please. And a cup of coffee in addition to this order."

"Why you-" Sasuke said through gritted teeth.

Sakura giggled. "Oh, and Sasuke," she added, "Get me a glass of orange juice while you're at it, okay? No pulp!"

"You sorry excuse for a bit-"

"Sasuke, get me cookies!" Naruto piped.

Sasuke watched as the three seated themselves at the table and replied, "I'm not doing crap! You guys get your own food!" He then thought up of something. "On the other hand..." He went to the fruit table and got three apples. He laid them in front of the 'customers' and let out a triumphant smile. "Enjoy."

"What the hell is THIS?" Itachi asked, looking at the apple strangely.

"It's an apple," Sasuke answered him sarcastically, "You know- An organic food that grows from trees and is sour when it's not ripe?"

"That wasn't what I meant."

"Sasuke!" Sakura snapped, "Where is my orange juice?! I'm thirsty here, dufus!"

Sasuke tore off his apron and held a fist in front of her face. "Listen, missy!" he roared, "I take orders from me, and only ME! No one else, you hear?!"

"Watch your tone!" Sakura said, standing up. "I'm a Princess and I deserve some respect! Especially from YOU!"

"Why should I? You have such poor fashion sense!"

Sakura gasped. "Oh, no you just didn't say that!" She readied her nails and jumped onto him. "Take that back right now!" She clawed his shirt and he pulled her hair in response.

"I don't take orders! Specifically you- the turkey with a bald head and a sorry life!"

"Well, at least I'm not a crossdresser!"

"Oh, not again!" Mikoto sighed as she walked into the kitchen daintily. "When will you and Sakura ever stop fighting, my son?" She separated the two and fixed her bangs.

"Until the day she dies," Sasuke grumbled.

"Funny," Sakura remarked, "I was about to say the same thing."

Mikoto shook her head in dismay. "Please!" she begged, "DO get along someday. You two are to be married soon...in about eight years! Your children will not like having parents who argue 24/7." She noticed her older son and smiled fondly at him. "Good morning, dear!" she greeted.

"Good morning...mother," Itachi managed to say above a whisper. Her happiness makes me cring.

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other, confused and disgusted. CHILDREN?!! At their age, they knew very well the process of 'reproduction'. They turned away, faint blushes on their cheeks. "That's just gross!" Sakura remarked. "I would NEVER bear HIS child."

"I wasn't planning on putting that child IN you in the first place!" Sasuke backfired.

Naruto turned a bit purple and felt his stomach go queasy. "That sounded so wrong in so many levels..." he murmured.

"SHUT UP!!" the pair shouted.

Itachi sweatdropped, staring at the tedious argument. This is quite disturbing... He excused himself and left.

"I'll come with you, my son!" Mikoto laughed lightly and followed him.

At Sakura's leave...

The ship sat on the gentle waters, waiting for the Princess to get on board. "Ready to go!" the captain informed.

Kakashi looked down at Sakura and smiled. "Is there something you'd like to say before leaving, Princess?" he asked kindly. "Perhaps to Sasuke, maybe?" He pushed her towards the Prince.

Sakura rose an eyebrow and smiled...fakely, of course. "Goodbye, Prince," she grinned.

"Prince?"

"Prince Itachi."

"No! The other Prince."

"Fine! Prince SASUKE!" Sakura turned her back on Sasuke and made her exit, her nose high up in the air with pride.

"She really does hate you," Itachi whispered.

"Gee, you think?" Sasuke replied with much sarcasm.

"You know, red really matches her," Naruto exclaimed. When he saw the two brothers staring at him, he coughed. "Not that.. I would know. But still, I-"

SPLAT! Itachi had jumped out of the way just in time. "Whoa.."

Sasuke and Naruto wiped tomato fluids off their faces and atared at Sakura in shock. "What the?!"

Sakura smirked and walked inside the ship, proud of her revenge. I am happy now.
