THE MANSION
THE LIVING ROOM
The entire living room was at a stand still. Even time froze. Shika, Naruto and Neji were pacing through the room, wondering what to do. But our Uchiha Sasuke was so pissed that he started glaring at everything in the room like it was the objects fault. The other three could sense the murderous aura he was emitting. Shikamaru decided to break the silence
"So what are we gonna do about this?" Shikamaru asked in a worried tone.
"We have to stop him from coming. Or else he will find out the truth. " Neji was clearly worried too. He had beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Duh. He is a genius for nothing" Naruto commented, with a finger on his chin.
"I've no fucking idea as to how to make him stay away, we could give him the wrong address and make him search for a day, that'll buy us some time. But the question is- WHY THE FUCK IS HE COMING? HE SAID HE WON'T BE FREE THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS" Sasuke was fuming.
"Why is he coming? That no one knows. I just hope the rest of them are not coming! It would be such a pain in the ass" Shikamaru's eyebrows were twitching.
"If the rest of them come, it'll be T-R-O-U-B-L-E! And that's the last thing we need right now." Naruto groaned
"What are we gonna do? We'll have to make it look like they are our girlfriends. That's better." Neji suggested
"Neji's right. We need to act smooth so that both the parties don't suspect anything" Sasuke responded.
"Alright then, lets go down and wait for them!" Shikamaru led the way to the second floor's relaxing room
They all made their way to the second floor only to see the girls staring at someone's picture and giggling.
THE RELAXING ROOM
The boys were curious. As soon as they came closer to the girls, the girls stopped giggling and hid the picture.
"Hey! " Ino greeted them.
"Hey!"
"Troublesome"
"Aa"
"Hn"
"Sasuke and Neji , you guys need a dictionary to start learning actual words!" Hinata scolded them
"Neji is actually better than teme! All teme says is HN and only with us he actually speaks in sentences" Naruto sweat dropped
"So , is there any reason you guys came here? Cuz its not like you guys to come around 10:30 am. Shouldn't you guys be working your assess off?" Sakura eyed them carefully and questioned them.
"Aren't you the smart one? Cutting to the chase! Just like that bastard! No wonder he chose you" Shikamaru said dryly. Sakura just giggled
"We will have guest or guests tonight" Neji started
"Guest or guests?" Ino raised her eyebrow and questioned
"Sasuke's family" Naruto commented
"But you said the family dinner was at the Uchiha compound" Sakura spoke uncertainly.
"No no no! Not the entire Uchiha family. Just teme's fav is going to show up. Alone or with a friend or his wife and kid" Shikamaru smiled evilly and nudged Sasuke in the elbow.
"Will you shut it?" Sasuke spoke grudgingly
"Sasuke's fav? Is he a close cousin/best friend? or like way tooooooo close?" Tenten enquired as the curiosity got the better of her.
"So close that Sasuke would go to the extent of cutting off his muscles and break his bones and drain out his blood and burn him to ashes" Neji grinned
"Yea! God! Can't imagine how much SASU-CHAN loves him!" Naruto burst out into laughter and Shika and Neji joined him. The girls were puzzled. Sasuke had a deep scowl on his face, his hands on his chest. He looked like a grumpy kid being denied of his candy. The girls looked at Sasuke and found him so very cute and started giggling
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked grudgingly.
"Sasu-baby! You look so cute with that grumpy expression" Sakura came over to Sasuke and pulled his cheeks tenderly making Sasuke scowl and blush at the same time. he swat away her hands. Sakura just pecked him on the cheek. Sasuke stared at her. Then smirked slightly.
"So who is coming over grumpy kid?" Ino cooed
"My brother." Sasuke spat
"Is he hot? Older to you or younger to you?" Hinata questioned
"By how many years? Older or younger? Is his wife hot? Is his son cute?" Tenten continued questioned.
"Its ok Sasuke-kun I won't fall for your brother even if he is more handsome than you're" Sakura pouted
"Hn" Sasuke just left the room.
"What was all that?" Ino asked confusedly
"Leave him be girls! He is sensitive to that topic. Yes, his older brother is also hot and the kid is cute." Naruto cleared it for them
"Does he hate his brother?" Hinata asked
"He does not hate his brother. He loves him way too much. When they were younger , his brother always out-smarted him, his father always approved of his brother and praised him. " Neji started
"Sasuke wanted to gain his father's approval so much that he worked so hard but his father never noticed. His brother and his mom would always notice. His brother would stand up for him against his father. His brother meant every thing to him. Sasuke practically worshiped his older brother. " Shikamaru continued
"But what happened?" Sakura spoke
"Sasuke then stopped trying to impress his father and his brother became a pillar of support for everything. His mother assured him that his father loved him. But as time passed by, Sasuke came out of his brother's shadow and became his own person. He was the one who established the Rookie company. His father was astonished. But Sasuke never came in terms with his father." Naruto spoke this time
"But what happened with his brother?" Tenten asked
"Sasuke hated his brother cuz he got all the attention but later was happy that he wasn't his father's fav. His brother did not turn to be an honorable decent businessman like his father. His brother and his father had a spat and then his father turned to Sasuke and Sasuke just out-flat ignored him. Later his brother and all of us were involved in a mess with the company's loss. It was caused by his brother's carelessness. So Sasuke kinda avoids his brother now" Shikamaru finished
"Didn't his brother try to make it up to me?" Hinata questioned
"He made it all up. But Sasuke sometimes still gives him the cold shoulder and trust me, his brother can read Sasuke like an open book. So Sasuke avoids him" Neji chuckled
"And now that we are married, his brother will bug him non-stop for details. So he is pissed off!" Naruto laughed
"OMG! Seriously! We so need to meet his brother! I bet he will be awesome!" Ino squealed
"I swear! Lets look forward to it! " Hinata chirped
"We will go get ready! Bye guys! See you all in an hour at the family room!" Sakura spoke in excitement. The girls dashed out to get ready.
"Oh man! I just hope Itachi doesn't find out the damn truth!" Shikamaru groaned nervously.
"I swear! We will all be dead if he finds out!" Neji was tensed
"God save us!" Naruto closed his eyes cuz of fear!
They too left the room to get ready. They all had one thought going through their minds. WHY THE FUCK DID ITACHI HAVE TO BE SO DAMN INTELLIGENT? NO WONDER SASUKE AVOIDS HIM. IF HE CAN READ AN ICE-CUBE LIKE SASUKE THEN HE CAN READ US ALL. GREAT! IF HIS AKATSUKI ARE COMING , WE ARE ALL GOOD AS DEAD. ITACHI MIGHT ALREADY KNOW THAT SASUKE IS THE MASTER MIND BEHIND THIS PLAN AND WE ARE USING THE GIRLS. WE ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. DAMN YOU ITACHI! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE SO MUCH MORAL VALUES?
THE FAMILY ROOM
The boys sat nervously. They didn't know what to do. They were all dressed very neatly.
"So.. You think Itachi will come with Konan-chan and Saachi?" Naruto asked nervously
"I don't know dobe. He said he is coming." Sasuke was uneasy.
"I just hope the Akatsuki won't tag along" Neji was wishing desperately that it was only the master genius who would show up.
"Dude this is Itachi we are talking about. Anything can happen" Shikamaru reminded
"Crazy bastard" Sasuke spat
"I swear! His brain! I don't know how it functions!" Naruto had sunk inside the couch.
"Lets all just remain calm so that Itachi won't realize anything!" Neji suggested
"I've a feeling he has a clue on what's going on. Dude seriously! We got married suddenly. And if we think we can fool anyone, then we are forgetting Aniki."
Sasuke groaned
"I bet he will not leave until he gets to the bottom of this!" Shikamaru thought it was all too troublesome.
"We are in for so much trouble" Naruto just closed his eyes
"We should have told him we were off to London" Sasuke spoke
"Gee! Thanks so much! Your head actually worked now? " Shikamaru spoke sarcastically
"At least my head worked unlike yours and they call you a genius and IDK why" Sasuke shot back
"Guys! Shut it! No use now! We just have to face it! " Neji spat
"We should make a mental note as to NOT answer Itachi's calls ever again!" Naruto sighed
"Thank kami that he didn't call the dobe!" Sasuke felt a wave of relief wash over him.
"HEY!" Naruto protested
"Sasuke's right! If he had called you, you would've cracked up and told him the truth" Shika pointed out.
"And by now we would be in our graves" Neji added
"Yea right" Naruto snorted
Silence fell over them. They knew there was no escape. They were under Itachi's grasp. They didn't know how to face their big brother. Ever since Shika, Naruto and Neji were friends with Sasuke, from the age of five, they considered Itachi to be their own brother. Itachi treated them the same way. The Akatsuki members like were their big brothers! These Akatsuki members were high on morals of life!
They heard the knock on the main door. Their heart beat faster. Oh yes! The worst was mins away from happening.
They heard the door open and light footsteps were heard across the steps.
THIS IS IT! HE IS HERE! WE ARE ALL GOOD AS DEAD!
A tall man had made his way to the room. All the four stood to welcome him. They smiled at him. The man smiled back at them
"Itachi! Long time no see!" Naruto started cracking under pressure and decided to break the silence.
"Hey there Naruto! " Itachi smiled at him.
"How come you got here? No work eh bro?" Neji asked with a fake smile plastered upon his face
"Well I've a case here. So I'll be here often!" Itachi responded after sitting down on the couch
THIS IS BAD! WHY DOES HE HAVE TO HAVE WORK HERE? CAN'T HE GO ELSE WHERE? THIS IS NOT WHAT WE NEEDED TO HEAR DAMMIT! The boys screamed in their minds.
"How long are you gonna stay? " Shikamaru enquired
"I guess a month or two! "
"That's nice! We can hang out like old times! " Naruto beamed at Itachi. The other three acted along.
"No Naruto! I can't hang around much! Its a pretty serious matter"
"Oh! Comon! You always work! You need a break!" Shikamaru insisted.
"We I have had break of one year. So I am good to be back at work!" Itachi spoke and smiled
"If you need a place to crash, you could always go here" Neji informed
"Nah! I will go crash in the Uchiha compound. You guys seem like you're all still settling down" Itachi indicated the obvious. Sasuke stayed silent the entire time. Itachi smirked at this.
"Yea! It needs a bit more of work and we can finally call it home" Naruto said
"So I heard you guys got married! How come I was not informed?" Itachi was raising a brow at everyone.
And just when we thought he wouldn't bring it up, he had to talk about it. What a bastard! The boys thought.
"Well it was kinda sudden...You.. see... Ummm..." Naruto struggled
"Mm-mmm" Itachi mumbled
"Its a long story" Neji tried to get Itachi off the topic
"I got time" Itachi insisted
"None of your damn business Aniki" Sasuke growled.
"Ah! He finally decides to speak!" Itachi started chuckling. Sasuke just glared at him.
"Well... We had to marry Karin, Cho, Ami and Yumi if we didn't have girlfriends. But parents didn't know we already had girlfriends. So we took the the girls over to dinner. They approved of the girls" Neji trailed off
"Those four sluts were trying to break us off so we decided to get married so that they won't interfere with our lives. We had to move to USA for our work. End of story. Drop the topic. No one asked you all these questions when you eloped with Konan and came back a year later and threw a grand party. So mind your business." Sasuke had saved them. The boys sighed in relief.
They boys were so engulfed in their conversation that they failed to realize that the girls had walked in when Sasuke spoke rudely to Itachi.
"Hey! Even he's got long hairs!" Hinata pointed out.
"Yea! And they are damn nice! Guess he must be hot!" Tenten had her hopes up
"Seriously I never knew Sasuke could hate his brother for just a loss of one deal" Sakura sweat dropped
"Gee! Sasuke is so scary when he talks like that" Ino commented
"Alright! Lets go meet this mystery man!" Hinata stepped inside the room making their presence known.
"Hey girls!" Neji greeted them!
"I guess our guest has arrived" Tenten pointed out. They girls went and sat down on the couch next to their husbands. They sat opposite to Itachi. They took their drinks without first glancing towards Itachi. Itachi smirked as he saw the girls. You girls can relax. I won't tell them how we know each other. I will make up my own story. But I've my own mission now. I'm not gonna do what you girls asked me to do. Things need to be put in place.
Itachi looked at the girls and smiled. The girls looked an smiled and then suddenly realization dawned up on them. They were facing THE UCHIHA ITACHI! Itachi was Sasuke's elder brother! They all froze.
"ITACHI!" Sakura screamed in surprise
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Ino was shocked
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THEM?" Hinata was nervous
"DON'T TELL US THAT SASUKE IS YOUR BROTHER!" Tenten yelled
"Well I'm Sasu-chan's elder brother. Uchiha Itachi" Itachi smirked at them.
The four boys just stared from Itachi to the girls. How do the girls know him? What had Itachi got to do with them? Several questions were needed to be answered right now!
"HOW DO YOU GIRLS KNOW HIM?" Shika asked them frantically.
"Well you seee..." Ino trailed off. Please don't tell them the truth. Please don't tell them the truth. Please don't tell them the truth. The girls all chanted.
"We met in Japan, when you guys broke up with them , I was the one who comforted them. We've been very close friends since then" Itachi smirked at the boys.
"Yea! We used to meet every week. Ita-chan used to take us out to eat every Sunday. It was a tradition." Sakura caught up with the act and continued the lie. Sakura and Itachi looked at each other. Sakura mouthed a thank you. Itachi just winked at her.
"We couldn't meet him for few months cuz he was busy and now I'm so glad that he is here!" Ino continued the lie. Acting all high!
"Saturdays used to be so much fun! We used to have a sleep over at our place with Ita-chan! We used to braid his hair and paint his nails!" Hinata acted as if she was remembering some fond memories.
The fours boys were now way beyond shocked! They didn't know what to say. But they regained their composure soon and sighed.
"Yea! My wife Konan and my three old son Saachi also used to go over there for sleep over and none of us hardly slept" Itachi was now looking at the boys who were taking the info rather very slowly. Itachi indirectly told the girls that his wife was Konan and his son was Saachi. The girls understood.
"Yea! Saachi is such a nice kid! " Ino said
"Where are they btw?" Tenten asked
"Oh! Reminds me, they are here. We should go meet them. We will go have dinner at Silent Shores at 6. " Itachi suggested
"We would love to meet them! Its been soo long!" Hinata exclaimed
"Yea"
"Are the rest of Akatsuki gonna show up?" Sakura continued to act. Itachi caught on. Smart girl! Definitely worthy of the Uchiha name!
"They are here too! But they won't come as often as I will. You'll all meet them next week! " Itachi smiled
"Just like old times! We can watch movie together again! Ino grinned at Itachi
"Yea!
"YOU GIRLS KNOW THE AKATSUKI TOO?" All the four boys screamed
"Yea! We have been friends for very long" Sakura informed
"My my! Look at all of you! SHOCKED! If it was not for these four pretty girls we would have beaten you all to pulps for breaking their hearts." Itachi smiled evilly. The girls grinned
"What! You guys are like brothers! Brothers don't beat up brothers!" Shika protested
"Well brothers don't keep quiet when their sisters get hurt" Itachi retorted
"Fuck"
"Alright! See the time! We spoke for a long time! Its 4:40. It'll take an hour to reach the restaurant. Lets leave now" Itachi left with that.
The girls started going down. They made sure that the boys were not behind them. They stood near the stairway
"How could we have been so dumb? The website said UCHIHA ITACHI so boldly. Plus Sasuke and Itachi have the same eyes! We are such fools!" Sakura slapped her forehead
"I swear! How on earth could we have missed the UCHIHA!" Ino groaned
"Thank god he did not blew our covers! No wonder he is the master genius!" Hinata sighed
"So he has a wife -Konana and Kid-Saachi. We need to get to know the other Akatsuki people now." Tenten leaned against the wall.
"Konan is also in the Akatsuki. So she will catch up with our lie. We are meeting Itachi and Kisame tomo, so we could ask Itachi for details." Sakura pointed out.
"For now lets pretend like everything we said was not a lie" Ino suggested
They all nodded and went towards the car
BACK IN THE ROOM
The boys were recovering from the shock.
"So the girls know Itachi too well and the Akatsuki too" Shikamaru struggled to speak
"That means we are officially dead. If they find out our plans, they will hunt us down" Naruto gulped with fear
"Things just got complicated! I bet those girls will confide in Itachi for comfort after we throw them out" Neji was rubbing his temples to calm down
"Itachi already knows we are using them. its only a matter of time before he confronts us" Sasuke glanced at the other three
"Shit! We are digging our own graves" Naruto cried
"We better prepare some other love story " Shikamaru sighed
"Great! lies upon lies. Hope no one catches our lies" Neji hoped
"We'll just pretend like nothing is wrong and they really are our wives and we love them. Maybe Aniki will stop bugging us" Sasuke suggested.
'Alright! Lets get going then" Neji lead the way.
They met the girls down. They took the limo and went to Silent Shores.
SILENT SHORES
After an hour's drive, they reached SS(Silent Shores) . It was a huge resort. It had artificial sea and spa and whatnot! All in all it was a luxury hotel. One of the most beautiful places in LA. It was situated on the outskirts of LA. Away from all the noise. The was boys went to park the car. the girls went over to Itachi and Konan
"You must be Konan and the little guy there must be Saachi" Ino spoke with a huge smile.
"And you all must be Ino, Hinata, Sakura and Tenten" Konan replied with a smile
"Right on dot! " Hinata smiled too
"So who's married to who?" Konan asked
"Hinata is with Naruto, Tenten is with Neji , Ino is with Shikamaru and Sakura is with Sasuke" Itachi informed.
"Oh! That's nice!" Konan said
"So I guess you must know our situation and hope you don't mind acting along" Sakura hesitated
"Oh! Don't worry! I can act way too well!" Konan reassured them
"Thank you Konan-san" Tenten was sincere
"Drop the san! We are family now! " Konan told them
"Alright then! We will call you Nee-chan!" Ino grinned.
"Sure!" Konan grinned back!
The girls shifted their gaze towards the kid in Itachi's arms. They all sat down on the chairs.
"So that's Saachi? He is so cute!" Hinata squealed
"He looks so much like Ita-chan!" Sakura took the little boy to her arms. Saachi just giggled. The girls all held him one by one. Saachi seemed to make no fuss at all. He didn't speak though. He was shy. But later chatted away with the girls.
"He seems to like you all" Itachi pointed
"Yea! Maybe he understands that you guys are family" Konan responded. The girls just smiled. Itachi hugged Konan from the back. His hands resting on her waist. He kissed her gently.
"GEE! GET A ROOM YOU TWO! NO ONE WANTS TO SEE !" Naruto yelled at Itachi and Konan
"Naruto!" Konan greeted him. Naruto hugged her. The rest of the boys came into view.
"Hello there Neji, Shika and Sasuke!" Konan greeted each of them with a hug!
"Way to ruin a moment Naruto!" Ino yelled at him
"Haha! Its alright Ino! " Itachi smiled
"I see that all of you have married my fav girls" Konan informed them. The boys sat down next to their wives.
"Believe it"
"Troublesome"
"Aa"
"Hn"
The girls sighed.
"None of you have changed at all" Konan noted
"Trust us! They don't get better!" Sakura said
"Especially Sasuke!" Konan added
"So true!" Ino spoke
"Men are so hard to crack!" Tenten complained
"Women are crazy" Sasuke retorted
"Men are brainless" Hinata spat.
"Women are like madman" Neji growled
"Men are unhygienic" Ino pointed
"Women lack time sense" Naruto complained
"Men are tasteless" Sakura hissed
"Women have no money value" Shikamaru yelled
"Men have awful dress sense" Konan spat
"Women are dramatic" Itachi commented
The girls rolled their eyes and the boys snorted. The little kid who was engrossed in playing with the grass now noticed Sasuke, Shika , Naruto and Neji. He ran towards them. He hugged them.
"Hey there lil fellow!" Neji greeted him.
"Me happy to see you all" Saachi spoke in an innocent voice
"So are we" Shikamaru ruffled the boy's hair
"You stay with me?"
"We are staying over for dinner!We will eat ramen ok? Loads of them! " Naruto pulled Saachi to his lap.
"Promise?"
"Promise" The three boys said. Saachi now looked at Sasuke. He went over to him and sat on his lap. Sasuke embraced the kid.
"Me really happy seeing you" Saachi smiled
"Me too" Sasuke smiled sincerely at Saachi.
The girls just watched this. They were awe struck.
"They boys are very much attached to Saachi" konan informed.
"It will be so nice seeing them do this to their own kids" Hinata was dreaming
"Yea! I can't wait to have kids now!" Tenten was amused
"God! Who knew these boys had a soft side to them!" Ino wondered
"Even the human ice-cube has a soft spot! Wow!" Sakura was shocked
The girls were interrupted by Shikamaru's voice
"So The Akatsuki know the girls eh?" Shikamaru asked
"How come we didn't know about it?" Neji questioned
"Did the girls know that you guys knew us?" Naruto glared.
"Why weren't we informed. We are family. We don't hide things" Sasuke demanded
"Well we didn't want to tell you guys anything since you guys ditched them! & yes! They knew that we knew you guys!" Konan said in a matter of fact way. They boys were angry for some reason. Feeling betrayed.
Sasuke glared at Itachi.
"We are family and we don't hide things. Sorry we didn't tell you earlier. Like wise its only fair that you guys tell us what you're hiding" Itachi teased them. The girls just giggled.
FUCK! HE KNOWS AND HE WON'T LEAVE US! WE ARE SO DEAD! The boys thought.
"Sasu-chan I'm immune to your death glares . It won't scare me! I'm your brother after all!" Itachi smirked.
"Shut up Aniki" Sasuke scowled
"HOLY SHIT! THE UCHIHA SASUKE ACTUALLY RESPECTS SOMEONE?" Hinata and Ino yelled at the same time.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? WE NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD LIVE TO SEE THE DAY!" Sakura and Tenten screamed
The rest just sweat dropped
"Well he is his brother's boy!" Konan stated
"He practically worships the ground I walk on! He loves me too much. He might not say it though" Itachi was now grinning.
Sasuke was completely embarrassed now. He just kept scowling. The rest of them just laughed.
"Teme's image of being a cold-hearted guy is now thrashed to pieces!" Naruto laughed
The rest of them continued to laugh. The dinner was served. They spoke about trivial things. It was around 9:30 when they all went back home. Itachi and his family went to the Uchiha compound while the others went to their new mansion. The girls were too tired. They just went straight up to their room and changed into night gowns. They fell into deep sleep.
THE GARAGE
The boys were now about to depart. They looked at each other.
"Things are more complicated" Naruto stated
"They have Akatsuki on their side. Break up won't be easy" Shika spoke
"If we break up, we are dead. If the girls know the truth and we break up , we are still dead" Neji groaned
"Most of all they have Itachi on their side!" Sasuke winced at that thought
"Great! We just need to think and act fast" Naruto said
"Alright! Tomorrow we'll discuss" Neji said
"We'll just sleep" Sasuke spoke
"Ok then! Lets leave" Shika lead the way.
Each of the boys went to their respective rooms. They too fell asleep.
Well that's for now!
If you guys review I will continue
I so love Itachi! He is so amazing! But still Sasuke is my number one!
Any of you reading the manga?
I hope Sasuke returns to Konoha after the war and settles down with Sakura!
Spread the SasuSaku love!
