Rating: K+

Summary: Naruto and Sasuke have been together since they were sixteen-years-old, and now, at the age of twenty-two, they finally want to tie the knot and be known as Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha Sasuke. Sadly, before any of this happen, the approval of the family is needed. Now, with meddling relatives and a very protective fox this will obviously end up...interesting.

Notes: To those who don't approve of Fem!Naru, to be honest I don't want you to read this story. I mean, I understand your desires, but come on…I imagined this ten times better if Naruto was a girl. So, don't flame me for it cause obviously I don't understand why you would read something you don't approve of anyway.

"Are you sure about this, Minato?" Kushina asked, a three-year-old Nagato in her arms and looking at his daddy as his mommy was. In the blonde man's arms was his one-year-old sister, with shirt and thin blonde hair as well. "I mean, we could leave them with Kakashi, right?" The red headed woman continued on, trying to get her husband to change his mind before they reached the door that was a good fifteen steps in front of them.

"So you're willing to leave them with Kakashi, but not with my father?" Minato found the logic twisted. The reason for her strong resistance to the idea was the fact that his father had some…questionable interests. Kakashi, on the other hand, was one of the few people who actually bought the fruit of such interests.

"Fine, then, how about with Rin?"

"Kushina, we've already talked about this." The blonde answered, adjusting his arms to the squirming one-year-old in his arms. It seemed his little princess was awake now. "Rin and Obito have a date, Kakashi has a race today, and Mom is teaching at the hospital. Have a little faith in the old man, would you? He raised me, didn't he?" Kushina looked him up and down, and Minato's eyes widened. Was she truly implying that there was something wrong with him?

"You honestly think that there is NOTHING wrong with you?" Yes, it seemed she was questioning. "I mean, the other day you put on Naru-chan's diaper backwards." Nagato giggled in his mother's arms. It was rather funny, though. Seeing his mommy whack his daddy and tell him to stay away from his little sister.

"Daddy is incotepet!" Nagato called out.

"Yes, Nagato!" Kushina agreed. "Daddy is incompetent!"

"Son, shouldn't you be respecting daddy?" Minato asked, pouting at his son's giggle. "Don't you love Daddy?" Nagato hugged his mother around the neck and shook his head no. Kushina laughed as she hugged her son as well.

"I love Mommy and Naru-chan!" He answered. "Daddy too, but not as much."

"Fine," Kushina found the scene rather comical. "Naru-chan will give me all the love I need." As if understanding her father's words, the newly awakened baby snuggled closer to the warmth of her father. This, of course, made the dad of two smile widely. Yes, his little girl would give him all the love that Nagato seemed to save for Kushina.

They reached the front door, much to Kushina's dismay, and Minato rang the doorbell. They heard a bit of shuffling from the inside of the house, but soon enough a tanned man with white hair opened the door for them. He had a wide smile on his face as he glanced at the family that stood in front of him, glad to see them all well. "Nagato, did you grow taller?" The man joked, Nagato laughing as he shook his head.

"Mommy carrying me, silly!"

"Oh! It seems!" He answered, the little boy laughing more as Kushina set him down on the porch. "So, you excited for a day with grandpa?" Nagato jumped and cheered, but Kushina was still a bit wary as she looked at the old man sternly. Seeing his wife's face, Minato sighed. Obviously they would still have a repeat of the discussion on the phone.

"No inappropriate material, got that?" She stated, Jiraiya merely laughing as he took Naruto from Minato's arms. He nodded his head and raised his hand in promise. This conversation (accompanied by threats and warnings on Kushina's part) lasted a few more minutes before the couple headed out and spend their day together. When the front door was finally closed again, he brought the two kids to the living room.

The baby bag Minato had handed him was placed on the sofa, the bag of toys Nagato held was softly dropped on the floor. "So, Nagato, I have something to attend to. Do you mind watching your sister for awhile?" He asked, and Nagato shook his head as a negative. His mommy had told him that he should never take care of Naruto alone, especially because he wasn't strong enough to carry her without help yet.

"Come on Nagato, just for a little bit." Jiraiya stated, setting the one year old on the couch and looking at his grandson. If only his editor wasn't hassling him, then he could have spent a good day with his grandkids. "You can find me in my office if you need any help, please?" Nagato continued to shake his head.

"I love Naru-chan!" Nagato suddenly exclaimed. "Mommy said that if I love Naru-chan then I should wait till I'm bigger to take care of her, cause I'm not big enough now." Jiraiya said. His daughter-in-law was probably being paranoid, but what the boy said did make sense. He wouldn't want an angered mother and father after him if something happened to their precious princess. It was probably a better idea to keep her with him anyways.

"Okay," He answered. "Then how about you get your toys and you play in my office so I can watch over the two of you?" Nagato nodded eagerly as he picked up the bag of toys. Jiraiya took his granddaughter and her baby bag and made his way to his place of work. He wasn't technically showing Nagato anything. In fact, he wouldn't even answer any questions directly just so that he can stay safe from his daughter-in-law.

Nagato was seated on the floor playing with his cars, Naruto was on the old man's lap as he wrote, and Jiraiya began to write what he could for the books known as the 'Icha Icha Series'. He decided to probably start his new book by deciding on a title, seeing as 'Icha Icha Paradise', 'Icha Icha Violence', and 'Icha Icha Tactics' were already some of his best ideas. Also, since he had already prepared a plot, it had to be fitting with that as well.

"Icha Icha Battle?" He wrote, thinking about the new antagonist that he was going to welcome, who would most probably try to steal the woman from the man which were the center of the previous book.

"Icha Icha Secrets?" He continued, thinking about the many things that would be unveiled in the current book. The man's many thoughts during…activities would be explained. Why he thought as such, and how he was able to think up the many endeavors that he and the woman share. It involved a complicated background that involved his father working as a bartender in a strip club, and the author nodded as he thought up another title.

"Icha Icha Heaven?" Though Jiraiya wrote it down, he crossed it out almost immediately. The title did not make sense, and it just seemed like a rewording of the first book.

"Grandpa?" Nagato suddenly called out. "What's Icha mean?" This was the moment that Jiraiya realized two things. One, was that he had beat talking aloud as he wrote, voicing out his thoughts about titles for his grandchildren to hear. Two, that if Nagato ever said that in front of his son and his daughter-in-law, his head would be hanging atop a fireplace for all to see. He needed to convince Nagato to forget about it…immediately.

"Uhm…" He readily stated. "Icha isn't a word that you should say at your age, Nagato." Yes, tell the kid that without explaining. Nagato just got more curious and leaned forward for an explanation. "It would upset your mother you see—" He tried to get him to relent without saying what the word meant. "—and you don't want her to get mad at you, now would you? You should never say that word again, okay?" Nagato's eyes widened at the thought of it.

"I don't want to make mommy mad." He answered.

"Then you promise to never say that word again?" Jiraiya asked.

"I promise gra—"

"I…I…Ich…Icha!" Jiraiya's eyes widened as Nagato's did. Their reasons, however, were as different as night and day. Nagato bent down and looked at his sister (still sitting on Jiraiya's lap) with a wide smile as he waited for her to talk again. She did not disappoint. "Icha! Icha!" Yes, Jiraiya was thinking, he was going to be murdered now.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Naru-chan talked!" Nagato was ecstatic, unknowingly making the old man sigh. He was happy, truly, that his granddaughter had said her first words. Did it have to be something that would end his life though?

"I'm sure mommy won't get mad at Naru-chan for saying it!" Nagato exclaimed. "If it's Naru-chan's first word, mommy will just be happy and treasure it like my first word (which was 'car')." Oh, Jiraiya was sure that it wouldn't be Kushina getting mad. No, she would probably laugh as Minato tore him limb from limb.

"Icha! Icha!" Naruto continued.

"Say it again Naru-chan!" Nagato encouraged. "I can't wait to show Mommy and Daddy."

Jiraiya could not disagree more. In fact, he was trying to think of a way to make babies forget their first words. There was no way that he would be returning her and have Minato calling him a bad influence for teaching his princess words that she was not to know at any age under eighteen (protective father, ain't he?).

"Icha! Icha!"

Fate was a woman, Sasuke decided. Fate was a bored, love sick, idiotic, woman. She was one of those women who bought Nicholas Sparks books, watched chick flicks, and ate ice cream when depressed. She also, probably, decided to focus on the his particular love story. Why? Well, because, obviously, she thought it was too early for a climax to happen and that there wasn't enough drama for the happy ending to come quite yet. Wondering why Sasuke is thinking like this? The answer was so simple.

The Uchiha had a plan in stored. He had already gotten Kushina's permission to marry her precious daughter yesterday, and for today, he was planning that he would finally get to talk to Minato. It was before lunch when he had spotted the blonde man alone in the living room. He had planned to walk over and talk to him, convince him that he was the best for Naruto. Yeah, that did not happen. Jiraiya and Naruto had decided to drag him to meditate instead, even if he neither agreed nor wanted to go.

"Smile, why don't you?" Naruto called out, laughing slightly as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "We invited you to relax—" dragging is not considered inviting in Sasuke's book. "—not to continue on brooding like some PMS-ing girl!" He growled as a response, this following another growl by the animal walking along side Naruto. Ah, yes. To add to the Uchiha's worsening mood, Kurama was coming with them.

Obviously his idiot still believed that the fox and him would miraculously get along if they spend some time together. Sasuke loved Naruto, deeply, but he decided that the nickname he had bestowed upon her in kindergarten really did fit her.

"Leave him be, Naruto." Jiraiya stated, smirking as they walked through the vast forest that the Namikaze-Uzumaki's considered their backyard. "It won't be your fault if a vain suddenly pops in that head of his." That has happened many times before, metaphorically, and Sasuke decided to just drown out the voice of the old man. He was trying, for the sake of him, to be respectful, but when an Uchiha is angered, that was no easy fit.

Ignoring him was the best he could do.

It was ten times better than insulting the old man anyway.

"That's happened before." Another growl from the Uchiha, another growl from the fox. "Seeing him shocked would be something knew though!" Stupid fate woman, obviously trying to make him the comedic relief of sorts. He may not be the one pulling the jokes, but he was the center of everything. He cursed her to hell, and she would get back at him for that, he was sure of it. Probably make the fox attack him or something.

Sasuke tripped on a stone and fell to the ground.

It ended up as 'or something' after all.

"Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed, helping him up as she laughed softly. "Was your chin so high up that you forgot to look where you were going again?" Sasuke did not take kindly to the comment, but accepted her help anyways. He liked touching his girl, and if this was the only way how without glares being directed his way, then maybe he should curse fate more to trip him more often.

"At least it wasn't looking down," Sasuke teased, pinching her arm. "You're wearing tights after all." Yeah, a whack in the arm, but it was worth it. Now, Naruto was blushing in front of him and was very red. It was an adorable sight for him to witness, and though she stomped off to walk beside her grandfather, it wasn't all that bad just because he got to see Naruto with such an expression.

Kurama growled.

"Get over it." Sasuke answered, and the fox yipped loudly. "I don't understand what you're saying, but I'll take that as a compliment." Kurama growled once again, and the Uchiha's mood improved immensely.

The party of four walked for a few more minutes, and halted when they arrived near a pond. The water was shining under the light of the sun, and it was so clear that you could see the fish that swam within it. Kurama dashed forward and began to play in the water, but Jiraiya and naruto made their ways to a pair of rocks.

Before leaving the house, Jiraiya had instructed Sasuke to take a flat piece of wood from their shed. He and Naruto had already been carrying theirs, and Sasuke was quite confused for the reason. Now, everything was clear. Meditating, as he knew, was relaxing and staying still to be able to free your mind. He didn't think that they would have to be balancing atop of rocks though!

"Get over here!" Naruto called, the Uchiha approaching. "You get how it works, right? Don't think, don't move, don't fall?" Naruto continued, and Sasuke nodded his head. Not thinking was something hard to do (especially if you had to convince people to let them marry their daughter), but he could try.

Jiraiya and Naruto made it look effortless. They had managed to balance on the rock within less a minute. No wobbling, no moving, even breathing. It was obvious that they had been doing this for a long time. Sasuke, on the other hand, couldn't even manage to hold a position for long. He maintained still, but his thoughts were running a mile a minute. He couldn't concentrate and he just ended up falling back a lot.

Uchihas did not take to failing, but Sasuke admitted that this was harder than it looked.

Jiraiya and Naruto both had matching smirks as they heard the Uchiha's groan and annoyance. Kurama was watching him with what seemed like a smirk on his face. Yes, the fox was very pleased that Sasuke was messing up and seemingly applying self harm. Sasuke hated them all for it.

"Come on," Jiraiya's voice suddenly said. "You can do better than that, Sasuke."

"Man am I tired!" Naruto exclaimed, falling into the bed with Sasuke falling down right beside her. The day had turned out different. Very different from how Sasuke had originally planned. He planned a day filled with confrontation and convincing, but instead, he had actually had fun. He wouldn't admit it to the white haired man that had been the cause of it all, but a day by the lake had been what Sasuke needed to clear his mind.

Seeing Naruto smile and be happy (and in a swimsuit) had made the day even more memorable.

"Visiting my family for a week really does feel like a month's worth of vacation, huh?" Sasuke nodded in agreement. Her family was pretty much like that perfect family you see in pictures. They had fun, they had a nice home, they had four members, and all they needed was the picket white fence!

"And after this," Sasuke answered, his hand finding Naruto's as they layed side by side. "We have one year's worth of business to deal with." Naruto laughed. It was amazing how proud and annoyed Sasuke was of his family. One minute he's telling you all of Itachi's accomplishments and the next he's complaining about how such a perfect bastard his older brother was. It was one—of what Naruto considered—of the few good traits that Sasuke said.

"Not if Deidara and Uncle Obito are there." The girl managed to say, her laughter dying down. "Then if Uncle Obito's there then Aunt Rin will be too! Oh, and maybe they'll bring Tobi too!" Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto only knew Obito due to him training under her father when he was in his teens, and Rin was one of his teammates. They had gotten married, and Tobi was their seven-year-old son that Naruto was very fond of.

"I wonder when Deidara and Itachi will tie the knot." Naruto suddenly voiced out loud.

"Maybe after watching what happens during our interview." Sasuke answered, shrugging. "Future Uchiha women are not easily accepted into the family, you know. You and Deidara are no exemption to that rule, even if you both have boy-ish names." Naruto rolled on top of her fiancé and pouted.

"Not my fault Dad wanted to name me after a character from the Pervy Sage's book!"

"You never told me you were named after an Erotica character."

"UCHIHA!"

Sasuke laughed slightly as he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her closer as he layed them on their sides. "That will be your last name in the future too, so I think you should come up with a better name to call me by." Naruto, maturely, stuck out her tongue.

"I think I'll just stick to my old one." She answered, her fingers now drawing circle's on the raven haired man's chest. "Bastard just seems to fit you all too well." Sasuke's arms tightened as he rolled them over, him being on top, and looked deep into his girl's azure eyes. So filled with emotion, so filled with passion, so filled with love…and it was all for him. He was sure she saw the same in his onyx orbs, but his was nothing compared to hers.

"And you think I call you 'Idiot' just cause I think you're cute?" Wrapping her arms around his neck, Naruto pulled the Uchiha down just a bit. He could feel her breath on his face, and she was drawing circles on his nape now.

"Hmm…you are the type to pull pigtails, you know." Her voice got lower, her eyes grew darker, and if Sasuke knew himself, he knew that he was probably going through the same thing. "Always bullying the girls you like, always trying to get their attention—even for the bad things. In fact, I think Itachi did the same thing to Deirdara-nee." Sasuke leaned forward just a bit. Trying to get closer.

"It seems to work, doesn't it?" He answered. "We both have blue eyed blondes for respective others after all."

"Yeah, you both are so lucky."

Without wasting another second, Sasuke closed the distance between them. His pale, soft, lips were against Naruto's rather plump ones, and they both felt nothing but ecstasy. It was like an addiction for the other. They could never have enough of tasting the other, and Sasuke proved just that as he licked his girl's bottom lip. She also proved this by battling him for dominance, even if she knew that she would lose anyway.

Everything about them in that moment screamed nothing but of two people who were truly, deeply, and madly in love. Sasuke's thumb that just rubbed Naruto's hip back and forth, Naruto's fingers that never ceased to do different activities on Sasuke's nape. It was even in the fact that they seemed to be so used to breathing with their noses, prolonging their kiss for as long as possible.

"Ngg…" Naruto moaned, softly, as Sasuke's hands traced her sides. The Uchiha was just about to move down her neck when a sudden cough interrupted them.

"If you both wanted to star in my latest book," The voice said, causing the couple to jump apart. Naruto's eyes were wide with surprise while Sasuke's showed annoyance and fear. He honestly did not want his job to be harder, and getting caught making out with Naruto sort of did exactly that. "You could have just asked. Icha Icha Love, yes, you both sound like good protagonists for that story."

"PERVY SAGE!" Naruto shouted, shock now being replaced with anger. "You'd even peep on your own granddaughter?! I'm telling Baa-chan!" Without a second thought, the blonde ran out of the room, causing Sasuke to follow her with a glare. Oh, he was sure she was going to tell, but she knew her true motives. She had wanted to escape embarrassment from being caught, wanted to skip the teasing that the white haired man was sure to bestow upon them. What angered the Uchiha more? Jiraiya did not even try to stop her from leaving the room, even if it caused a confrontation with his wife!

"Sasuke," Jiraiya suddenly spoke. "Do you have something to say?"

"Like what?" Sasuke's voice was low and angered, but it wasn't too over the top.

"Probably an apology for me catching you making out with my precious granddaughter? Shouldn't you be trying to win my favor by respecting her and treating her nicely?"

"From what Naruto tells me, the show should have granted me your favor." The old man felt a nerve pop in his head, and he suddenly wondered what it was Naruto was telling the Uchiha about him. He also found the Uchiha gutsy, and he liked that quality. Should he put him out of his misery? Probably.

"Maybe I could tell Minato…" Sasuke paled. Yeah, Probably not after all.

"Uhm…I'm sorry…?" Jiraiya just laughed. It was obvious, to him, that his granddaughter loved the man in front of him dearly. It was obvious from what he had just seen, that this man loved her back just as much. A man of high pride with a sick shoved up his butt so deep that it would need his wife's expertise to remove to suddenly apologize? What had Naruto done to him? Had she used a love potion? Perhaps she could share her secret after this little chat.

"Much better," Jiraiya answered. "Now, as for you marrying my granddaughter, I just have one thing to say." Sasuke gulped. This family and their conditions! He was still trying to figure out a way to fit in Kushina's condition from yesterday, and now another man with a condition! What would he ask? Sasuke feared it involved camera's in their bedroom. Naruto had told him that her father had once said that he had joked about that with his and Kushina's wedding.

"I'm not allowing you to video…anything." Another vain popped. Jiraiya was sure to have a talk with the family princess about this as well, after asking her of her secret love potion.

"No," He answered, as calmly as possible, the boy. "I was thinking more along the lines of if you break her heart, I will find a way to humiliate you and ruin your Uchiha Pride—" Jiraiya continued. "—but your idea probably sounds better." Yes, the giving of a hard time continues.

"The first one was good." Sasuke answered. "I'd let you actually do it if I hurt her in anyway."

"Good that we agree, Sasuke—" The man tried to say.

"JIRAIYA!" Damn Naruto for telling his wife.

"—And a word to the wise, from man to man." He added. "Don't piss off your wife." Sasuke gave him a bit of a small smile with a hint of sympathy. It seemed he already knew what he was talking about. "Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned."

~REIGN'S TALK SHOW CORNER~

REIGN: *Plays Waltz of the Flowers Here* SOOOOO…how was your weekend, dear reader? I had a splendid one! Imagine 'Tanduay Ice' (it's a type of drink with just a bit of alcohol content), Friends, Paranormal Activity at 1AM, and KFC Dinner, then that's what I did. I hope that makes up for the sudden halt of updates! No? Knew it! Anyways, our guest for today is no other than JIRAIYA himself!

JIRAIYA: Thank you for having me, I'm glad that you want to advertise my book so much! It is such an honor that I get to talk about it, its content, and what people should expect—

REIGN: WHOA! No, no, no, we're here to talk about Naru-chan and Sasu-kun! What made you think this was a publicity stunt for your book? If you must know, I wanted to ask you why you let Sasuke off so easily, why you wrote porn with children in the room, and well…what Tsunade did to you!?

JIRAIYA: Damn publicist. Well, I'm here anyways so I guess I should just answer your questions. Well, one, he loved her and who was I judge a guy? If in this story Tsunade's parents allowed me to marry her, then who was I to stop the Uchiha. As for porn, well, what did you expect? I'm still ME, and I thought you were supposed to know these things if you write Naruto fanfiction?! Goodness, you talk nonsense, Brat!

REIGN: Sheesh, I thought Sasuke was the PMS-ing person. Didn't know you were part of it! Now I know how Tsunade feels, wanting to kick your ass all the friggin' time! Now with all that explained and done (Thank you for guesting Jiraiya-san) Please leave a review to tell me if you want me to continue this story! SERIOUSLY, reviews inspire me and opinions will sort of give me an idea of what you want to see. Writing is a give and take relationship, dattebayo! Also, as mentioned above, any flames about the gender change will be hereby ignored! Well…not really…I'm immature and will make fun of you in a talk show…anonymously though, so don't worry! Continue to suggest ideas for the wedding that Sasuke and Naruto should have, any suggestions would be appreciated!

TO OpenPervert-Chan: Thank you for the suggestion! I actually really love it! Especially the one with the wedding cake! I think I'll actually use that for the wedding scene! THANKS SO MUCH for the suggestion and for reading and reviewing this story of mine! Hope this chapter didn't disappoint!
