'….How did this happen?' Was Sakura's first thought upon finding herself not on her own bed, but on top of the Fourth Hokage's head, that fine morning.

In particular, she also happened to find herself devoid of clothing, and wrapped in the arms of another.

If that wasn't enough to make alarms ring in her head about how strange the previous night ended, add to the fact that her partner in bed, as it were, was the famously shy HYUUGA HINATA, sans clothing herself.

Then Naruto literally rolled into the picture from behind her and Sakura's brain shut down.


"Okay, let me see if I am understanding this properly." Stated a now properly dressed pink-haired iryo-nin. "Last night, Konoha decided, for whatever reason, to have a ridiculously huge party, in which case EVERYONE joined in. Right?" Both of the kneeling teenagers before her nodded. "I recall being dragged there by Tsunade-sama, since I apparently had no real social life without Ino to drag me around, before she left me like Ino did for something more entertaining. In her case, booze. It was at that point that I ran into Hinata, right?" The blushing girl nodded. "What happened from there that ended in… this?" She asked waving vaguely at the entire area and all three participants.

Hinata started blushing heavily again. "Ano… Well… When you saw me sitting alone, you joined me and started asking me why I was alone like yourself. After a bit of talking with me avoiding the issue, you ordered drinks for us… …I was not ready for alcohol, since I started spilling my life story to you, which in turn caused you to drink more, and then spill your own life to me." At this point, her face resembled a tomato more than was probably healthy. "We somehow both decided people with sticks up their… their 'asses' were the cause of our problems. While complaining about them, we somehow fell into the topic of boys in general… where we started talking about Naruto eventually." Now Naruto joined her in blushing, as did Sakura a bit. "Somehow… somehow you decided I was right in pursuing him, since he had always followed through on his words, and was a great man, before you started crying about how he had followed you, and you had ruined a perfect opportunity with one of the best men around." Now both of the other two were competing with Hinata for brighter shades of red. Hinata started pressing her fingers together while trying to get her courage to continue. "I… I may… I may have… … I may have cried about how you still had a better chance, since he still liked you, and he barely knew me. You blew up and started saying how that was untrue, and we fought back and forth a bit, until it almost came to blows… then Naruto showed up and separated us, before taking us to a nearby training ground to cool off."

They both turned to Naruto.

He looked down, avoiding their eyes, before they heard his voice. "I had just walked in, and seen you both about to fight, and jumped in to attempt to avoid it, since I didn't want to see any of my friends fighting, especially the two most important to me. So I grabbed you both and with the help of a couple Kage Bunshin, managed to get you out to the nearest empty training field. Where I asked you both what had been going on… Then you both started crying and talking about how… about how you both wanted to be with me… but couldn't. Either because I supposedly didn't like you, or because you had ruined your chance… startled as I was, I of course immediately rejected both of you. Telling Hinata how I did like her, how it was because of her constant support from the shadows that I kept pushing myself to continue, instead of breaking down when the entire village and academy tried to do so. And telling Sakura how she had never ruined anything, how she was still the socially awkward, smart, kind girl I had initially saved from bullies and fallen for before our academy years, the same girl who showed me that there was a chance for someone like myself to be thanked and respected." At this point he looked up to the two girls, a serious look on his eyes. "You two were the reason I decided to become a ninja, and why I continued at it until I succeeded." Both girls were looking at Naruto with something akin to awe and sadness in their eyes, however, then the red crept back into Naruto's face as he lowered it. "You both then jumped on me crying for a long while, saying things I couldn't quite make out, although some sounded like apologies and promises, not that they were coherent. Eventually you both stopped, stood up and looked at each other with fierce expressions, before grabbing an arm each and dragging me away."

At this point his literal steam started coming out of his ears.

The girls, fearing the continuation of the story, yet feeling they already knew it, looked at each other, before turning back to him. Sakura, of course, was the one to speak. "So we dragged you here… and… well… you know…" He shook his head. "What do you mean no? I know we did it Naruto, I was a virgin yesterday, and I am not this morning if my earlier diagnostic is correct. Which it most definitely is considering the difficulty I had walking and getting ready." You could literally hear the steam erupting from both Naruto and Hinata's heads.

"That wasn't what I meant…"

"Then what did you mean?"

"We stopped somewhere first. Before coming up here and … you know."

That is when Sakura started paling a bit, millions of possibilities flying through her head. "What did we do Naruto?"

Naruto merely pointed at a cropping that held their weapon pouches and a few scrolls. Hesitantly, Sakura walked towards it, and shifted through it until she found something that normally didn't belong. A bright red scroll with a flowery motif.

Gathering her courage, she pulled it open and quickly read the contents.

Hinata watched as Sakura opened it… and promptly froze. After five minutes, she decided to walk over and check for herself just what had caused Sakura to react as she did.

Her eyes opened to such a proportion at the sight that she would have been surprised that her eyes did not pop out. However, her thoughts were rather occupied by the contents of the scroll.

The below name parties, in accordance with the law of Konohagakure, have been brought together in matrimony.

Uzumaki Naruto- Haruno Sakura

Haruno Sakura- Hyuuga Hinata

Hyuuga Hinata - Uzumaki Naruto

With the blessing on their legal gaurdians, Hatake Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai, and with the power vested in Senju Tsunade as Godaime Hokage, this matrimony has been accepted and processed.

May all involved parties have a long, fulfilling and happy life together.


It took a while before Sakura was able to continue and finished reading the document in its entirety, before rolling it back up, and going back to her original spot, Hinata trailing behind her.

"So, were in a three-way marriage."

"…I am sure we can go and get baa-chan to annul it." Naruto, with his head still down, quietly stated.

Two hands had gotten ahold of his shirt's collar and pulled him up before anyone realized what was happening. Two hands… each connected to a different arm and body. Naruto looked down at his two new wives, each glaring at him harder than he had seen even Sasuke manage. "Why would you say that? How could you possibly think to say that?" Questioned the ex-Hyuuga with steel lining her words.

"You were both incredibly drunk last night. I… I don't want you two to have to live with any mistakes caused during a moment of weakness and inebriety."

Clearly the wrong thing to say, as Naruto soon found himself on his back, buried six inches into the hard stone of the Fourth Hokage's head.

"We may have been drunk Naruto, but I assure you we meant every probable word that came out of our mouths. Sleeping with you was not a mistake. There isn't ANY person in this world who deserves it more, or whom I would want to have done it with more, and I am sure Hinata agrees." The dark haired bluenette rapidly nodded in agreement. "Marrying you was simply the next step. If anything…" And here she looked down at her feet, rather than Naruto. "how are YOU feeling about this?"

Naruto's eyes widened, staring up at the pink haired girl who tossed him into the earth, before he decided to think before responding. "…I am not certain. I mean I love you two… but, I mean, I never expected this."

"To be married to the two girls you love, who love you back?"

"…to be married." As both girls stared at the downed male, he continued. "I have never wanted anything more than a family, after a while, I realized mine would never come, so I would have to make my own. Sandaime-jiji was the first member. Iruka-sensei the second. Hinata-chan and Sakura-chan, you were the third and fourth. Anko-chan the fifth. It stayed at that for the longest time. I wasn't smart enough to realize that Shika and Choji had become the sixth and seventh during that time. Nor that Kiba had become the eigth… but, as much as I considered and consider you all my precious people and family… it was never going to be the same as true family… and I accepted it as the best I would ever get. Then last night, the two most important girls in my life both confess their feelings to me, and then practically forced themselves on me, which I will admit I did not resist as I should have since I myself was partially intoxicated since Anko was trying to prove that I COULD get drunk, despite the Kyuubi's influence, and in that state, your words seemed to make enough sense to me to go forth with something that I would never have done so sober."

"So, are you saying you would not marry or return our feelings if you were sober?"

Hearing Sakura's unusually weak sounding voice, Naruto immediately jumped out of the crater he was in, "NO! I meant that I would not have allowed myself to take advantage of you two when you were drunk and not thinking straight! I am tearing myself apart thinking about stealing away something so important to you two already, much less your entire futures! I can't bear hurting you two like that!"

Sakura's head rose up, her eyes glaring, and she moved as if to grab Naruto… but fell behind as she watched Hinata step in front of her faster than she had ever seen the girl move, and slap Naruto. "You can't bear to hurt us? YOU ARE HURTING US RIGHT NOW! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL NARUTO! BOTH OF US LOVE YOU! WE GOT DRUNK LAST NIGHT BECAUSE OF HOW DEPRESSED WE WERE THAT WE EITHER DIDN'T DESERVE YOU, OR WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO BE WITH YOU! THE ONLY THING YOU STOLE FROM US WAS OUR HEARTS! LONG AGO! AND YOU ARE TEARING THEM APART WITH YOUR ACTIONS RIGHT NOW! YOU SAID YOU LOVE US. PROVE IT! STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM US AND THE SITUATION! BE THE MAN WE FELL IN LOVE WITH! THE BOY WHO NEVER GAVE UP! THE MAN WHOSE VERY WAY OF LIFE IS REFUSING TO GIVE UP AND RUN AWAY! WHERE IS HE NOW!?"

Tears fell from her eyes as she shouted at her loved one, as he stared in shock and shame. As she finished he drew her closer and hugged her to him, "I am sorry. I don't know if either of you are making a mistake or not. I don't know if I am worthy of your loves, but I will be damned before I actively work against it. If neither of you are willing to end this, I will work to make sure it is everything you both dreamed of." He turned his eyes to Sakura as he continued holding Hinata. "I ask you both to help me though… I have never had a family, and have no idea what to do."

"Oh Naruto. You don't have to do it yourself, a family all works together, you aren't going to be holding all the weight yourself. Although, I will admit I also have no idea how to deal with a three-way marriage. Considering that apparently, I am as effectively married to Hinata as I am to you… Not exactly what I expected, but you aren't known as the Most Unpredictable Ninja for nothing."

A giggle escaped from Hinata whose face was still buried into Naruto's chest. Which caused the other two present to smile, before Naruto asked the million-ryo question.

"What now?"


A/N: For those of you waiting for Second Life. I apologize for the delay. Life has me by the proverbial testicles, and I just recently had to bail family out, which has me in a bit of debt... again. Not to mention, that after watching Season 3 of RWBY, I really can't seem to find any inspiration for it.

I will admit that seeing Qrow end up looking quite a bit like my own image of him, minus the outfit and weapon, had me cracking up.

For those who have no interest in SL, hope you enjoyed this piece, I literally have no idea why it came to my head. XD
