Ah, well, I'm at my Father's right now and know I said I'd have a new chapter up, so I'm writing it here in 'Documents' on this site. The chances are that I won't make it back home until late Sunday and, like I said; I promised. Work actually takes up alot of my time, so I can't be sure of my ability to update until I get into a routine. But, like I said: I WORK NOW!!!! YAY!!! I work in Clinical Pathology in two different hospitals and I don't usually get back until about 6:30. Either way, I have no spell check, so this may be a little off. Gomen.

ddd - Thanks. The best part of writing is knowing that people like and appreciate it.

Angel - Lol. Well, I know what I'd do, though what he'd do may be dependant on factors. But trust me, Itachi always has something brewing in his mind. No one gets off...unless he wants them to. ;-p Don't know when my next update is, however, I promise to try write whenever I can, even if I have to lower my reading time of your lots' fictions.

beautiful-sinner - Hehe, I'm glad you like it. And I'll continue to write for as long as I can. I hate as with other fics I've stared, how my muse has died and material lost. Sasuke, of course, will continue to be a bastard for a while. I haven't made up my mind as to whether he'll change. I wouldn't say the Teme has planned any of this, just that in some cases his sadistic and warped perversion of a mind gives him senarios that he intends to act out.

NARUTO

The density of the Chakra, that Naruto had Kyuubi to thank for, threw the youngest Uchiha several feet back. As Naruto made for the exit, one desperate name caught the movement of his lips and he was immediately intercepted with a maddened and lust-raging Sasuke, that twisted him back to the table so violently that his stomach bashed painfully against the hard wood. His mind became riddled with the fact of the foetuses' safety, rather than the hem of his Kimono rising quickly and efficiently to expose his own legs and underware to his attacker's eyes.

"Benito? Why do you cry for him, when it's me that made you what you are? Ungrateful whore." Hands dug into his skin as the words were spat with disgust.

"What; miserable, alone and hated? Get off me, Teme! I hate you!" Naruto shouted, tears dotting the corner of his eyes, squeezed shut throught the effort of screaming the last sentence.

Once the words had left the blond's lips, a hand lifted his head from the table and slammed it back with force. Through the pain and the snarled word of 'traitor', Naruto felt Sasuke's grip upon him loosen with his rage-enforced over-confidence. With a small burst of his own Chakra, the blond used the table he was pushed against to his advantage and spun against it, sending his foot in a kick toward his assailant.

Sasuke managed to catch the thrown left foot in his right hand, but was too slow to catch the immediately following right, which hit directly into his side. The wince upon the raven's face was quickly taken over by a crazy smile. Naruto shivered, knowing that this particular smile meant one thing, in the form of the curse seal beginning to take over. The blond was sure that, since his return to Konoha, Sasuke's insanity had been and still was increasing; especially as he was here, forcefully pulling Naruto's legs around him, and on his own wedding day.

"Where's the Bastard I fell in love with?" The Jinchuriki sobbed out, staring directly into the maddened dark eyes of the youngest Uchiha.

Hesitation briefly halted Sasuke, though Naruto was hopeful in his certainty, before hissed words were shot at him. "How can Demons love?"

The smirk was suddenly swiped from the raven's face, as an arm with superior speed knocked it away from Naruto's vicinity and to the other side of the tent; tearing through it. The solemn expression on Itachi's henged features took the forcefully departed's place in Naruto's vision and brought the blond to the stability of his own rightened feet. The defeated Jinchuriki wiped furiously at his eyes and quickly adjusted himself to a state of decency. Just as Itachi had decided he should say something, a familiar Jutsu was heard in the noise of a thousand birds.

Naruto and Itachi both rushed to the exit of the tent, near to the one Itachi had previously made and were suprised to see Ino and Iruka asleep against a tree and Kakashi the one with the activated Jutsu. Sasuke was glaring at Kakashi, tied thoroughly to another tree with ninja wire.

"Kakashi-sensei? What...are you doing?" Naruto nervously asked.

"Don't get involved, Naruto."

"How can I not get involved? You're going to kill Sasuke! I can't let you do that!"

"He's better off eliminated; for us, too."

"How would we be better off? You'd be in jail, the Sharingan would die off and Iruka...How could you do that to Iruka-sensei?"

"I haven't got time for this, Naruto." Kakashi snapped, charging forward with his Chidori.

"Benito, aren't you going to stop him?" Naruto turned to the calmer, older Uchiha, only to hear the Chidori suddenly stop and spin back around to witness why.

A duplicate Benito had one hand in a ram seal and the other holding back Kakashi's arm that was previouly lit with Chidori. Two tufts of earth had encased the Jounin's feet and calves, halting all forward movement. Unfortunately, Naruto heard a dark chuckle to his side and also noted that Sasuke had cut himself free. Naruto whipped his head around once again, only to see the reason for the chuckle had been the brunette's capture.

Four ANBU stood to the side of the blond, three of them holding Sasuke back and the fourth with a warning daggar at Itachi's neck. The calm look in the eyes of his lodger told Naruto that the Akatsuki member knew the ANBU had arrived and would arrive in time, giving the young man an urge to curse prodegies and the fact that he hadn't yet relearned thesensing of chakra presences in his state.

"Hey Neji, let him go, will ya?" The blond grumbled.

"I'm sorry Naruto, but I'm under orders."

"It's okay, Neji." Kakashi spoke. "He could have killed me if he'd wanted to. Tsunade-sama still wants him after this...wedding, but for now, he isn't a threat."

Slowly and suspiciously, the kunai was lowered. "If you're sure Kakashi-sempai. What happened to your head Naruto?"

The blond in question lifted his hand up to a blooded head and winced, purposely avoiding looking at Sasuke, who he knew to be grinning or smirking at him.

"What do you think, ANBU-san?" Itachi purposely goaded, turning to Naruto and tilting the head up toward him, running his other hand over the wound in a simple healing jutsu. "Why did you leave Kakashi-san to attack Uchiha-san when Ifelt you arrive a little after we did?"

"What? Neji? You...?" Naruto turned to the Hyuuga accusingly. "How could you let Kakashi ruin himself like that?"

"We were thinking of you, Naruto!" Neji snapped.

"So the little monster does have friends. How sickeningly sweet." Sasuke spat ferrelly.

"Careful Uchiha." Came the lazy voice of part-time ANBU, Shikamaru.

"And what about seven other souls that Naruto cares about? How well would they fair without Kakashi? But, more importantly, how do they fair now, Hyuuga-san?" Itachi suggested with his words what he wanted and Neji was as much a genious as to understand.

"Inu, Sora, Sloth; take Uchiha-san to his station for this event. Iwill stay with Benito-san. Same with Kakashi-sempai, until he is needed."

"Hai."

The four watched the others leave, Kakashi freed and Itachi's clone long gone. Once they were from site, Neji turned suspiciously to 'Benito'.

"I do not trust you, but for Naruto's sake, I will put up with you. Anyone who conceals their identity is untrustworthy."

NARUTO

I know that this chapter has spelling mistakes and is short and unfinished. I promised something before the week was through and unfortunately this is all I could get. I thought I'd have the whole weekend but I forgot that I was going to the east coast for sand racing. I'll have the second half up asap. Gomen alot!!!!
