Sorry people! Work's been such a bitch that I've barely even had a spare minute to myself with how knackered I've been. Bet you never thought that a transfusion lab would do that to an assistant did ya? If I can finally get this written, then it should be quite a deal longer than the last chapter. Though, that's not hard, ne. ' It was pretty short, after all.

ddd - :) back, I suppose.

eugenia gavrilov – I completely agree with you about Sasuke and that's why I made him such an ass. It was originally going to be a SasuNaru but the guy fucked me off so much that I had to hate him and fuck with his sadistic bastard psychopath mind even more. ' Heh. I'm glad you like it and if you could see me, I'd have a smile on my face. Thanks for reviewing.

Ah. I am drunk and probably gonna write so wrongly and pass out at my key board but I promised this out a while ago and haven't delivered, so I'll try to have it out tonight. Sorry if it isn't; I'm really trying here. Fortunately I'm a good drunk and really try and stuff, yeah, even if it takes me twice as long. Sorry for spelling mistakes and such in advance. I am so drunk right now. Oh and I can't believe how many reviews I have. Like wow.

NARUTO

"Daijoubu, Itachi?" Naruto glanced in concern toward his guest, he could say, to this occation. The usually dark grey haired man hadn't uttered a word since the music had started and Tsunade started the formal procedures.

"Aa." He stated, narrowing his eyes further.

"No…you're not…" Naruto trailed off, glancing back toward the main centre for this event and glowering at the deadened repetition of Tsunade's words, that Sasuke reeled off.

"Does your female team mate deserve your silence?" Came Itachi's regular and monotonous voice.

"Huh?" Naruto turned to him dumbly.

"She does not know of your affair with Sasuke, correct? When asked of reasons to stop the marriage, you remained silent, despite your apparent friends' concerned gazes and uncertainty to voice something themselves. Why?"

"I…can't do that to Sakura-chan; she…isn't repeating after baa-chan…Itachi…Why isn't she repeating after Tsunade-no-baa-chan?"

"…I am unsure."

"A-Ask again, Hokage-sama." Came the quiet whisper of a sentence.

"Nani? I said: Do you take-"

"No." She lifted up her eyes to face her master with a furious determination. "The one to stop the marriage; ask if anyone has any reasons why…why me and Sasuke-kun shouldn't get married. I-" She turned facing confrontationally at her blond-haired ex-team mate. "Naruto, I…I want to know the truth, Naruto."

Naruto froze before those accusing green eyes, not even able to sink further into the chair he was on, as Tsunade spoke, as asked, the desired words, with a stern and confident posture; begging with her eyes for the blond child – because, she thought, that's all these three really were – to reply.

"If anybody knows of any reasons why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now, or forever hold your peace."

There was a silence.

The heavy silence sunk over the whole area, many not daring to voice any protests from the Uchiha's aura of promising death or waiting in anticipation of a huge bust up.

Karin swiftly stood up. "I-I love Sasuke-kun!" She rushed out, admitting it to even herself, for the first time.

"Me, too!" Shouted a girl that Naruto was sure used to be in his Genin class.

"Shut up." Kiba growled, exasperated by the idiotic statements. "She's talking about how Uchiha's gay and you confess your love? Morons."

"Hags, even." Sai supplied happily.

"What?! Sasuke-kun is not gay. He-"

"Quiet!" Sakura demanded with her own force of killing intent, derived directly from the Hokage, though turning hurt but gentle eyes on her ex-team mate. "I just; I want to know, Naruto."

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto trailed, defying her by turning away his head.

"You shouldn't believe anything the Dobe says, Sakura. He's obviously still in love with me from back then." Came Sasuke's uncaring voice from beside the pink-haired woman, forcing her head toward him in askance. The dark haired groom simply stared ahead, toward the Hokage, purposely dismissing the others around. "Now stop asking questions and continue."

"From back when, Sasuke-kun? How can you say that so calmly?"

"It was a fling, Sakura; now continue or there will be no wedding." Sasuke scowled, sending a warning glare to the redirected, hurt eyes of his aforementioned 'fling'.

"Are you forgetting…" Itachi stood, bringing a cruel, sadist look from obsidian Uchiha eyes, into fully maddened Sharingan ones turned toward himself.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Naruto hissed in a whisper. "Sit down."

"What do you want?" Sasuke growled, before a smirk overtook his face. "Imposter."

"I assure you, Haruno-san, that your fiancé's relationship with my own was anything but a fling. In fact, love was declared; and not only on Naruto's part."

"Tch. Is that what the Dobe told you? Maybe in his twisted fantasy. Don't confuse me with your filthy homosexual self."

"Not to mention your husband-to-be impregnate-"

"Shut up! Be quiet! Are you trying to ruin everything!?" Naruto yelled, rising.

"W-What?" Sakura looked stricken, whirling on her reclusive 'best friend', sitting in the third row in on her guest's side. "Ino; how could you?!" She bellowed, tears jumping to glaze her eyes in an angry betrayal.

"What? It's not me, Sakura. I-"

"Don't lie to me; don't you dare lie to me, Ino! You slut!" She cried. "Abort it. Abort it now!"

"Tch. You were pregnant all this time and didn't tell me? Is it male?" Came Sasuke's hardened tone, barely off indifference with his stance.

"Sasuke!" Sakura turned to her groom. "You can't-"

"Iie. Ino-san is not the one and I guarantee that there will be no abortion."

"Tch. Stay out of this, imposter. No wonder ANBU is onto you, when your disguise is so obviously fake."

"You disgust me, Sasuke-" Itachi began and continued as if Naruto's interruption were never to happen.

"Benito! Quiet now."

"So openly avenging a clan that you didn't even respect."

"Say that again…and I'll kill you." Sasuke growled deeply and sinisterly.

"Love was never accepted in the Uchiha clan, but neither was infidelity. Tell me, Sasuke, what would you do to this women if I told you of the other you've sired's Mother?"

"Don't talk to me so familiarly." Sasuke dismissed. "And leave this gathering. I forbid you to be here. Tsunade, continue."

"Please Beni-"

"Don't tell me what to do, Naruto-kun. There is another pregnant by you in this gathering, Sasuke. If you'd not betrayed what little feelings you have, you wouldn't have lost that person and your chance of rebuilding the Uchiha clan. Naruto-kun and I shall take our leave now." The elder brother took the tan arm of his prey and lead him from the row, into the centre of the isle.

"Take the useless Dobe. No one cares for him; just like I care for none I've laid with. Conquest and enjoyment was my limit. Itachi was my goal with that moron hanging so pathetically onto you, but the stupid idiot couldn't even get that one thing right. He can't even get pregnant. I guess your worth to me was just terminated, Naruto." Sasuke smirked wickedly, taking pleasure out of the blond's rigid back and shattered heart.

"Take it back." Naruto mumbled, before raising his voice. "Take it back!"

"Which part, Dobe? The part where not even I can care for a monster like you, or that you're completely worthless?"

"Shut up, Sasuke! You don't even know what you're talking about!" Kiba yelled.

"Leave Naruto-kun alone, gay traitor." Sai spoke up, calmly, but with the eyes of an experienced assassin.

"N-Neji-kun, do something."

"I can't, Hinata-sama. He has to - TenTen!"

"Sorry, it slipped. Honestly! I was just twirling the kunai and: whoops. Hehe."

Glaring at the tear in his kimono's sleeve, Sasuke turned menacing eyes toward the Hokage, who looked ready to beat the shit out of him, despite her silence. It was fortunate for him that the woman had to remain professional. He wasn't so sure that the fuming Iruka and glaring Kakashi would hold their tongue or fists as long however.

"Are you getting senile, old woman? Continue the ceremony."

"Shut it brat." She snapped in response, only to be immediately ignored and spoken over by Sasuke's deadly calm voice.

"Sakura." The man deadpanned. The pink haired woman had her fist raised and looked everything but fragile with her heaving chest and maddened watery eyes; her grip tight and damaging, if not for the hand of her fiancé that managed to catch cancel and hold it tightly.

A deep chuckle disturbed the shocked and tense silence of the woman who'd attempted to strike the 'last Uchiha', turning many heads in the unbelief of it.

"What are you laughing at, Demon-lover?" Sharp, glaring eyes were sent to the still-red head.

"Foolish Otouto. Naruto is-"

"Itachi!" Naruto yelled, flinging his arms around the Nuke-nin's middle in an effort to physically stop the man from saying anything damaging.

"Itachi…" Sasuke growled out. "Finally." A manic grin started to appear. "I can finally kill you."

"Naruto! What are you doing; get away from him!"

"Sorry Iruka-sensei, bu-" Naruto started, before he felt himself roughly spun around and facing a battle-ready Tsunade with a kunai to his neck. "Itachi; what the hell?!"

"Ah, ah, ah." Itachi sounded, before his usual voice appeared once again, ignoring the blond in his capture for now. "One step closer and I'll slit his pretty little neck."

"Like a care!" Sasuke charged, Chidori chirping, only to feel himself stop and collapse with ANBU seals paralysing him. "Get off me! Don't you want your precious Naruto? Then let me go so I can destroy that murderer."

"Itachi, you're surrounded. Where exactly do you expect to go?" Kakashi questioned, bored and finally confirming what Naruto thought was happening behind and around them.

"One more step, Hatake…" Itachi warned, pushing the blade closer to the heat of skin.

Sakura took a step forward before the blonde Hokage grabbed her shoulder and kept her back with guarder but hostile eyes. "But, Naruto, he-"

"What do you want, Itachi? You weren't supposed to be here yet." Her eyes narrowed.

"No, Baa-chan, it's not like th-"

"I have what I want. And I will keep him until your assistance is required at that time." He spoke vaguely.

"Itachi, wha-"

"I'm going to kill you Itachi. Even if I have to go through the Dobe to do it." Sasuke spat.

A new quiet approached as the blond's face fell into flinching and hurt acceptance. "Bastard." Naruto whispered, only loud enough for the older Uchiha to hear and turning into the chest against his back easily. "Let's go home, Itachi." He spoke a little louder, the kunai never once attaching to his skin. With narrowed eyes, Itachi nodded, allowing Naruto to bury his head against the hands holding the Uchiha's kimono. "Take me home." He muttered, nearly begging in his plea.

'Emotionless' eyes stared at the blond, before a hand settled softly on the blond's head and it was pulled further into him. Slowly eyes closed and opened suddenly into a harsher glare at his younger brother.

"Foolish little brother; now you've lost both of them."

With his eyes closed, Naruto only felt his legs be lifted from the ground and, on instinct, tightened his hands upon the kimono they were gripping. His eyes bolted open and flew to the calm indifference of the man who held him like a loving husband would his bride, ravishing his mouth all the while. The only sound around them was the controlled, slow footfalls of his dark-haired tenant; until everyone seemed to break out in speech and action at once and the pace of time suddenly gave an illusion of speeding up.

Of course, after Naruto pulled away, yelling with a blush and fury. "Hey; put me down! I'm not a girl, God damn it!"

NARUTO
