Chapter 9

"A submissive from mist country?" Fugaku repeated what his son had just told him. The hard lines at the corner of his mouth deepened as he scowled.

"Yes, the wedding is this weekend." Sasuke replied morosely. "Apparently he's the only submissive son of the emperor."

"Of all the countries the Hyūga could've chosen they choose the bloody mist," Fugaku gave a long-winded sigh. "What are the Hyūgas doing creating a marriage alliance with such a savage clan?"

"I don't know but I found it suspicious too." Sasuke added.

"Perhaps it's because of me, Fugaku-san." Naruto spoke up. It wasn't a submissives place to speak on political issues but since Naruto had gone through his mental change he was doing all sorts of things that submissives normally shouldn't do. "Since I'm from a powerful clan from Whirlpool perhaps the Hyūga clan feel that they should deepen their relationships with other countries as well? It makes sense, if others see that the Uchiha clan is widening its relationship with clans outside of Fire Country, other clans will do the same."

Fugaku's scowl deepened, he pretended as if Naruto hadn't spoken at all. "Since the Hyūga's have invited you personally you have no choice but to go. Be on your guard though, I don't trust those Hyūga's. You shouldn't bring your submissive with you, having Naruto there will only distract you."

"That's nonsense, I wouldn't distract Sasuke!"

"Let me rephrase it then-" Fugaku contended, "If you go you might say something or speak out of place like you do here and make the Uchiha clan look bad."

"Father, enough of this. It isn't even up for debate Naruto will be going with me." Sasuke postulated. "Naruto is a perfect submissive, he wouldn't ever bring shame upon our clan."

"You're a fool, son." Fugaku sighed, "But very well, do as you please." Fugaku droned. "But at the very least take a guard with you so that you wont have to babysit Naruto at all times."

"That's actually a good idea." Sasuke stated, "Deidara,"

"Yes, Uchiha-san?" The new addition to the Uchiha palace dropped what he was doing and bowed to the Uchiha king.

"Have you ever been to the Hyūga clan territory before?"

Deidara touched his finger to his lips and raised his eyes up so he could think for a second, "Uhhh I don't think so, I've never really traveled before!"

"Good, go pack your bags. You'll be accompanying Naruto and I to Neji's wedding."

Deidara eyes sparkled, "Okay!" He bowed once more then ran out of the room to go do as told.

"Thank you." Naruto whispered.

"Of course, anything for my little love." Sasuke kissed Naruto. "There's no way I'd leave you behind. I want to see that white-eyed bastard's face when he see's how beautiful you look by my side carrying my child."

Sakura who had been standing at the back of the room with the rest of the maids smirked. Everything was falling perfectly into plan. The dumb blond should've listened to Fugaku-san. If he had he would've been able to what she had planned for him.

The Hyūga clan was the second strongest clan in fire country. They were also the largest. They outnumbered the Uchiha clan by one hundred and it showed the day of Neji Hyūga's wedding.

Every seat during the ceremony was taken. The combination of the Hyūga clan members added with all of the invited royal guests mixed together to create one of the largest gatherings for a wedding ever seen.

Naruto was grateful that after the ceremony all of the guests who weren't of royal blood were required to leave. Unlike the Uchiha weddings there was no "greeting party" after the ceremony. Instead, royal guests were escorted to a golden dining room where they'd come together and dine with the newly wedded couple.

"As the new ruler of the Hyūga clan I'd like to thank you all for journeying all the way here to celebrate my coronation and marriage."

Neji was dressed in the colors of his clan; white. He matched with his young looking bride. Haku's white kimono was short, his small geta covered feet poked out at the bottom. His long black hair was pulled tightly into a high ponytail and little white flowers were stringed throughout it. Haku's light brown eyes, which were outlined with a gray pigment, regarded the party guests with unimpressed monotony. From the look on his face one would never believe that he was a lucky submissive bride celebrating his wedding day.

"I know that all of you are busy royals who have their own clans to worry about so it means a lot that you could make it." Neji smiled.

Sasuke could see right through it. Neji was good at pretending to be diplomatic.

"I'd like to especially thank my submissive's brothers for coming all the way from Mist Country."

Sasuke eyed the two dominants seated across the table. They had introduced themselves as Suigetsu and Kisame. They both had strange sharp teeth, they didn't even appear human. The taller dominant sort of looked like a shark and the shorter white haired one looked like a fish. Their father, the emperor of Mist Country, hadn't been able to make the wedding but Sasuke wished he had just so he could see what type of man had made such unsettling looking children,

After Neji was done speaking dinner began. Gleaming silver platters of food were brought out, a whole roasted hog, sizzling squid, overly stuffed cooked duck, and many other delectable treats were produced for the royals to enjoy. But none of them paid attention to the luxurious banquet. There was a huge proverbial elephant in the room.

Sasuke had brought only one of his pregnant submissives to the wedding. Everyone had noticed it.

"So, how has married life been, Sasuke-san?" Ten-ten asked cordially. Her brown eyes shone with curiosity. "Everything must've changed now that Naruto-san is pregnant."

"Yeah, I've been wondering that myself, it must be hard with two submissives to handle." Shino added.

"I can only imagine how difficult it is for you. Speaking from experience I can attest that married life is hard." Ino sneered angrily without looking in Sasuke's direction.

He was the one responsible for her current predicament. He had been the one who had advised her father to betroth her to the worst dominant in all of Fire Country.

"Naruto is a submissive who knows how to submit to his dominant so I doubt he has any of the problems we do, honey." Kiba, the source Ino's misery and new husband said sarcastically.

"Guys, please. Let's remain civil you're married now." Ten-ten murmured quietly.

"Only if she learns to respect her dominant! I'm her husband she needs to learn how to worship me!" Kiba barked.

"That's so ridiculous! Who would worship a mutt like you!" Ino yelled back.

"Enough. This isn't how a new king and his bride is supposed to behave in public." Sasuke scolded stoically.

"Fine." Ino ticked her tongue and looked away from Kiba.

"Back to the topic at hand," Shino spoke up with a nervous current buzzing through his voice, "how is it really like being married to two submissives at the same time, Sasuke-sama?"

The gathered royals all turned their attention to the Uchiha king. They had been silently wondering why Sasuke hadn't brought his other pink-haired submissive along as well. The last they had heard of her she had been pregnant and been demoted to being treated as the second wife but that didn't explain why Sasuke hadn't brought her to the wedding.

"Sakura is no longer my submissive or a princess, she's been disowned so my married life has been drastically improved."

"You've ended your marriage contract with her?" Ino gasped, the anger draining from her due to the good news.

The other royals were on the edge of their seats. This was prime information. Even Neji's ears perked in interest at the new revelation. So this was the true motivation for Sakura's plan. She had come to his room and told him that her plan was motivated by pure annoyance for Naruto; he had no idea she had been disowned and separated from Sasuke.

"Yeah, she's been working as a maid in my palace these days."

"That's harsh. A pregnant submissve shouldn't have to work at all." Ten-ten said sadly. Her words were sympathetic but there was a hint of happiness in her brown eyes. It was pure karma that Sakura's life had taken such a drastic turn downward.

"Sakura isn't pregnant. She lost the baby. A maids work is more than reasonable work for her."

"She lost the baby?" Ten-ten all but bursted into tears. Sakura-chan could sometimes be mean and she more than deserved the karma she was getting but Ten-ten didn't wish such an unfortunate thing upon her. When a submissive lost a baby it was like losing a part of themselves. "That's so sad! I'd be devastated if I lost my child."

"Things happen." Sasuke replied. "It was Kaguya's will, Sakura was never meant to be the mother of my children."

"I guess you're right when you put it like that..." Ten-ten pouted.

"What about for you, Naruto-sama? How's your life been since getting married to Sasuke?" Shino questioned shyly. This was the first time tonight he had built up the courage to speak directly to Naruto.

"Being married to Sasuke has been like a dream." Naruto answered honestly. A red hue covered his cheeks.

"A dream is exactly what I'd call it. A submissive of your level would never be married to a dominant at Sasuke-sama's level in my clan. You should be happy since it's practically a miracle." Haku laughed to hide how rude his words really were.

"Yes, I am happy that Sasuke is now mine and I am now his. I'm the only one who will have Sasuke's children and that means everything to me." Naruto's blue eyes peered into Haku's brown ones. Silently warning him to stop. Haku had been staring at Sasuke all night and it was getting on Naruto's nerves. He already had to deal with Sakura back at home he wasn't going to let anyone else even dream that they could come onto his alpha.

The guests were taken aback by Naruto's innocent possessiveness. They didn't know of the silent conflict between Naruto and Haku so Naruto being so possessive of his dominant when there was no opposing threat present was odd to them.

"It must feel good to have a submissive who cares so much about you, eh Sasuke?" Neji drawled. A teasing smile was on his lips.

"Yes, having Naruto's love is exhilarating." Sasuke smirked. "I hope you can finally experience the joy I do everyday with your own submissive."

"Believe me, I will. My submissive will worship me."

Haku rolled his eyes. "The only way I'll ever worship you is if you suddenly sprouted a third eye and your name was Kaguya." Haku drawled dryly.

Almost every submissive in the room gasped. A submissive wasn't allowed to speak out against their husbands like that. The only people who weren't shocked by Haku's behavior were Naruto because he already knew that Haku was a beta, Sasuke because he honestly didn't care, and Haku's two elder brothers because they were used to their little brother speaking his mind no matter whom he was speaking to. The guests waited on bated breath to see what Neji would do to punish his mouthy submissive.

To everyone's utter amazement Neji only glared at the little black haired submissive. His white eyes were filled with pure annoyance for Haku but he didn't lay a single finger on him.

"I knew you wouldn't do anything." Haku muttered angrily, "you never do. You're too scared."

Sasuke found the entire scene comical. Neji had made him self look like a complete fool. Unlike him, Neji had inherited his crown at birth; he was born to be a ruler. He had undergone vigorous training to claim his crown but the way his submissive openly disobeyed him was enough for Neji's rigorous training to be molded into the perfect king utterly obsolete. No king would ever allow someone, especially a submissive, to disrespect them so openly.

The dinner ended an hour later. Due to the lateness of the night all of the royal guests who were too tired to make the journey back home were given a room to stay for the night. Sasuke seized the opportunity. He didn't want to stay in Hyūga clan territory but this was the perfect opportunity for him to act. He knew Neji had cheated during the duel versus Itachi and he was going to find out how tonight.

"But why can't I come with you?" Naruto whined. He was seated on Sasuke's lap in their new room for the night.

"I already explained it to you, love. You can't come, I can't get caught and if you're by my side I might lose my concentration. I need absolute focus to sneak around. My father wasn't completely wrong, you are a distraction when it comes to certain things."

"But I don't want to be here all alone!" Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and twined his fingers in his mates black hair. He loved how soft it was, it was so deceiving to the eyes, the way Sasuke's hair stuck up stiffly in the back led one to believe that his hair would be hard but it was wonderfully soft to the touch and Naruto adored it.

"You won't be, Deidara's right outside standing guard. I'll be back as fast as I can."

Naruto frowned at Sasuke. His bottom lip jutted out childishly. "If Deidara's outside then I'm still alone! I want to be with Sasuke!"

"You're not alone," Sasuke smiled and caressed the underside of Naruto's growing belly. "You'll also have the baby to keep you company."

"I hate that you're right!" Naruto pouted, he laid his head on Sasuke's shoulder "I still don't understand why you have to go though. Why can't Sasuke just stay here with me?"

"This is my only chance to find out if that bastard actually cheated during the duel." Sasuke said coldly. "I'm sure he did, there's no way a man like him could ever beat Itachi." Sasuke's hands tightened into fist, "I know he cheated and I think I know how he did it too."

"How?" Naruto marveled.

"Isn't it obvious? He used his seemingly innocent little sister to do his dirty work."

"Hinata?" Naruto cocked his head. Hinata was the sweetest submissive he had met in his entire life. She was always quiet and rarely ever even looked up from the ground. Naruto couldn't believe someone like her would ever take part in something so heinous like cheating.

"I remembered something about the duel, before it started Hinata was mumbling something and both her hands were clasped together. At the time I thought she was praying for her brothers safety but the more I think about it the more suspicious it seems."

"Do you think she was casting a jutsu?" Naruto whispered. He was getting scared thinking about it. If Hinata had casted a jutsu then he had misjudged her completely. Was her sweet demeanor all an act? How did she even learn to cast jutsus?

"All night she couldn't even look me in eye, it was the same at our wedding when I greeted her. She's feeling guilty about something and I'm sure it's because my theory of her having part in Itachi's demise is correct."

Naruto tightened his hold around Sasuke's neck. "I really don't want you to go but," he let his arms drop and cradled his belly, "this is important so I'll let you leave us."

Sasuke smiled. "Thank you." He kissed Naruto's soft lips and then Naruto's covered stomach.

"I'll be back as soon as I find her." Sasuke moved to get up.

"Wait!" Naruto yelled before Sasuke could leave.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked. Alarmed by Naruto's outburst.

"You can go but promise me, if you end up getting caught by Neji and he challenges you to a duel, don't accept it."

"Naruto I-"

"I said don't accept it! Promise me that you won't accept it!" Naruto screamed. His chest rose up and down rapidly from the sheer force of his words.

Sasuke's eyes widened. He kissed Naruto's lips again. "Okay, I won't."

"Thank you." Naruto said breathlessly.

"You need to relax," Sasuke rubbed Naruto's red cheeks with his thumb. He had yelled so hard that his face had turned red, "take a nice bath, or take a nap. I don't want you to worry too much while I'm gone. It's not good for you or the baby."

"Okay." Naruto replied obediently. "I'll do as Sasuke says.

Sasuke trekked through the darkened halls. He had his sharingan activated as a precaution just in case someone tried to ambush him in the dim lighting. He was on high alert, looking for something that he wasn't quite sure where was at.

He knew that the answer he wanted laid with Neji's beloved little sister. He was absolutely certain that Hinata had played a part in Itachi's downfall. The only way he could confirm that hunch was by finding Hinata. It was proving to be a difficult task though, the Hyūga palace was smaller than the Uchiha palace but it still held a considerable sum of rooms.

By the time Sasuke got to the second floor a whole hour had passed. He wanted to go check on Naruto just to reassure his love that he was okay but he couldn't due to the time constraint. He had to find Hinata before the midnight hour struck, it'd be a hassle to explain why he was out of bed so late in the night if he did end up getting caught.

Sasuke made it to the end of the corridor. There was only one room left to check in this section of the palace. It wasn't until he moved to open the door of the room that he noticed that the door was slightly ajar.

He cautiously pushed the door open and scanned the room. The room appeared empty but Sasuke knew that to be untrue. He could sense another presence. The person was suppressing their aura so that it'd be hard for an untrained eye to spot them.

"Come out, I know you're there." Sasuke activated a single flame on the tip of his finger, preparing to blast a hole through the person's chest if they dared to attempt a sneak attack. "If you don't come out I'll turn this entire room into a pile of ashes."

The sound of laughter greeted Sasuke's ears. He felt an invisible pressure flit around him and then, out of thin air Haku materialized before him.

"You have good senses, Sasuke-sama. You could detect me so easily and yet my idiot dominant never can."

"What are you doing here? And why the hell were you suppressing your aura?" Sasuke demanded.

"I wasn't in the mood to be bothered. And this is my room, it'd be strange if I weren't here." Haku laughed again, it sounded like a breathy whine being forced out of his small lungs. "On the other hand it's quite strange for you to be here, is there anything in particular you were looking for?" Haku stepped closer.

"Nothing in particular," Sasuke lied easily.

"Are you sure?" Haku was standing so close that Sasuke could see the tiny honey gold flecks inside his irises as he fluttered his long lashes. "It's almost midnight, a king has no reason to be up so late." Haku taunted. He had let his long black hair down, there were still flowers stringed through it but many had fallen out. He was also still dressed in his white kimono, the attire of a bride.

"Its your wedding night, you should be with Neji."

"Yes, I probably should be but if I were with him I couldn't be here with you right now could I, Uchiha-sama?" Haku smiled, "so, why are you wondering out so late? Looking for something...someone?" As Haku spoke he trailed his small fingers down Sasuke's chest. Dragging them down in a flirtatious manner.

Sasuke grimaced. He could now see what Naruto had been talking about. Haku was in fact flirting with him. Sasuke wanted to laugh, no submissive, especially one like Haku, could ever sway him but he could use Haku's silly little crush on him to aid his endeavor.

Sasuke smiled seductively. "Actually there is someone I'm looking for, do you think you can help me find them?"

"Really, who?" Haku lit up at the thought of being able to help a strong dominant like Sasuke.

"Hinata. Where is her room?" Sasuke asked, getting straight to the point.

"Oh. Another submissive." Haku said in a clipped tone. He looked away and crossed his arms over his small chest. "Why do you need to see her so late into the night? I'm right here, I can assure you that my company is just as good as hers."

Sasuke's eye twitched. Haku was trying his patience. He shouldn't have to explain himself to a damn submissive especially if that submissive wasn't Naruto. "I need to see her for clan reasons. I believe she's keeping a secret for her brother and I plan on making her tell me it." Sasuke said bluntly.

"A secret for Neji?" Haku's interest was caught, "this secret...would it...lets say would it anger Neji if you found it out?"

"It'd ruin him." Sasuke smirked.

Haku's eyes doubled in size, as if he had just been delivered the answer to his life's problems on a silver tray.

"Her rooms in the west wing, its two halls away from here. She has a guard standing outside her room through out the night and her handmaiden occasionally sleeps in her room so be cautious."

"Thank you, Haku." Sasuke moved to leave but before he could move an inch Haku's arms were wrapped around his neck. "I didn't give you that information for free, Sasuke-sama." Haku snickered. "Tonight is my wedding night, a submissive is supposed to lose their virginity on their wedding night but as you can see my juban is still pure white." Sasuke looked down and just as Haku had said his juban was indeed white. "My newly wedded husband wasn't dominant enough to make me lust for him-but you Sasuke-sama, have made me burn with a desire to be filled."

Sasuke quirked his lips, he had to admit Haku's flattery inflated his ego but there was no one he wanted to fill but Naruto. "You're not the first submissive who's craved me like this, if you had asked me a few years ago I probably would've fucked you but I'm married and in love. I can't give you what you want."

"Is that so?" Haku traced a shape on Sasuke's chest with his finger. A little heart over where Sasuke's actual heart lay. "But you see I don't care about any of that. You're better than Neji in every single way. It's not fair that all of the good dominants are already taken. Naruto doesn't deserve you."

"Watch it. Don't speak ill of my submissive." Sasuke growled.

"Tell me Uchiha-sama, Naruto is pregnant so he probably can't sexually satisfy you like he once did. I can be his replacement. I'll do everything for you that he can't. I'll give you my virginity, you can do anything to my body that you desire." Haku grabbed Sasuke's hand and dragged it behind himself until it was laying over his ass, "all yours." Haku gyrated his hips up against Sasuke's; "you can fuck me as hard as you want you don't have to worry about treating me like some delicate little flower who'll throw up if you thrust into me to roughly like Naruto."

"I'm warning you. Say another bad thing about Naruto and I'll hurt you."

Haku grinned. His excitement doubled. This was what he craved, being at the mercy of a powerful dominant. It was exhilarating; it turned him on even more. "I'm only telling the truth, Naruto is weak and I'm strong. It must be frustrating having to hold back when you fuck-"

Haku screamed when a searing burning pain enveloped over his eye. He quickly put his hand over it and iced it over.

"Did you just burn me?" Haku groaned as he dissolved the ice. He attempted to open his eye. "It hurts." Haku whined.

"I warned you."

"I know that's why I provoked you." Haku moaned. The pain was unreal, so good that it intensified his desire for Sasuke.

"Are you-" Sasuke stared at Haku with astonishment as Haku reached between his thighs and rubbed himself, "are you a fucking masochist?"

"That's such a mean word Sasuke-sama, I simply enjoy being dominated by strong dominants like you."

"God, you're perfect for Neji. Stop touching yourself," Sasuke forced Haku's hands to stop their ministrations, "I don't have time for this I have to go find that assholes little sister still and then get back to my mate."

"I wont let you leave, I'm so ready to be taken by you, can't you smell it I know you want me too!" Haku clung to Sasuke's arm.

"Get off of me before I burn you again!"

"Yes, please!" Haku's eyes glistened with desire.

"Fuck, never mind, it's meaningless if it just gets you off."

"Please just fuck me already." Haku begged.

Sasuke growled. "You're wasting my time." He shook Haku off and glared into Haku's glassy eyes.

Haku's body trembled at the direct eye contact. "Sasuke-sama, your eyes are-" Haku collapsed in Sasuke's arms.

"I can't believe I had to use my sharingan just to restrain you." Sasuke hissed angrily. He picked Haku up and tossed him onto the empty bed.

He glared at Haku's unconscious face. There was a bright red cut going down Haku's right eye. The cut began at his eyebrow and ended in the middle of his plump cheek. Sasuke sighed, suddenly feeling exhausted. If he had ever doubted Kaguya he didn't now. She had somehow managed to give Neji a submissive that was even worse than him.

Sasuke took one last look at Haku's face and then left, off to complete his task. Thanks to this detour he was in a bad mood. He hoped for Hinata's sake that she was sleeping when he arrived at her room.

It had been twenty long minutes already and Sasuke still hadn't come back. Naruto was trying very hard to not think about all of the horrible possibilities that could've happened. Sasuke had told him to relax but relaxing was much easier said than done.

Naruto sat on the edge of the large bed. To calm himself down he decided to carefully observe the room. It was typical; it wasn't as heavily decorated as the Uchiha palace rooms. The walls were white and mostly bare. There was one window that led to a terrace. The curtains over it were also white. There was a tea table in the corner and a heated tub in the other corner. It was smaller than the one in his and Sasuke's room. Naruto involuntarily blushed as he recalled what had happened the last time he had been in a tub with Sasuke.

Maybe Sasuke was right. He needed to relax and the perfect way to do that was by taking a nice long hot bath. Naruto stood up and shuffled over to the empty tub. He bent over and turned the water on.

The tub filled, instantly making heat billow around the cold room. The calming warmth of the heat made Naruto think about Sasuke. His body was craving his alphas touch. The vivid memories of the last time they were in a tub together on their wedding night was getting to him.

He shut the water off and was about to begin the arduous task of taking off the multiple layers of his kimono when a pale hand suddenly snaked across his stomach.

Naruto whirled around and pushed the owner of the pale hand away. He recognized its owner's scent.

"What are you doing here, Neji-san?" Naruto asked incredulously. "It's your wedding night, you shouldn't be here. You should be with Haku!"

"My submissive won't let me touch him tonight or probably any other night," Neji touched a newly forming red bruise on his cheek, "I grew tired of trying to force him so I decided to come play with you."

"How did you know this was my room?" Naruto asked tensely.

"Let's just a little birdie told me where to find you. You smell delicious; you were about to go into the tub weren't you? Now I can help you undress." Neji purred.

"Who told you?" Naruto demanded. He refused to succumb to the fear rising in his throat.

"It isn't important who, all that matters is that I'm here." Neji grinned. "She was right…you actually came like she had said."

"So it was a girl who told you? Who is she? What's her name?!"

"Like I said a little birdie."

"If you're not going answer then get out of my room!" Naruto hissed.

"Or what?" Neji teased.

"Deidara!" Naruto yelled for his guard.

"He won't hear you." Neji feigned a sad expression. "He's all tied up."

"Liar! Deidara is strong, he'd never be beaten by you!" Naruto looked towards the closed door and tried to feel for his cousin's presence but he could feel nothing. "Dei-kun...What did you do to him! You better not have hurt him!" Naruto fumed.

"He's fine, I'd never hurt another submissive." Neji said innocently. Naruto didn't believe him.

"If you don't leave right now I'll call Sasuke." Naruto threatened.

"We both know Sasuke close enough to hear you." Neji smirked. He took a step towards Naruto.

"How did you know he wasn't here?" Naruto was full on panicking now. Every time he took a step back Neji would take another step forward. It was in an omegas nature to naturally fear an alpha. The primal urge to run was circulating deeply within Naruto's subconscious but he couldn't obey it, he was too proud to. He wasn't weak; he wouldn't listen to his primal instincts.

"Because if Sasuke were close by he would've come by now." Neji explained like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "he's such a fool, what kind of man would leave his pregnant submissive all alone with only one lousy submissive guard to watch over him?" Neji ticked his tongue disapprovingly, "it's like he wants others to have a taste of what's his. He's practically inviting me."

"Don't take another step closer!" Naruto screamed. He conjured up what little energy he had and materialized a rasengan and raised his hand in position to throw it at Neji. His body immediately rejected his overuse of energy; the rasengan began to flicker on and off. He couldn't sustain it because of his pregnancy. He began to feel lightheaded. But he forced it to remain; he had been pushed to the edge of fear and was now in defense mode.

"I'm impressed, I've never seen a jutsu like that, especially from a pregnant submissive," Neji continued to move closer. "But that won't harm me. You should put it away before you hurt yourself."

"The only person I'll hurt is you!" Naruto yelled. His arm was trembling and the rasengan was nothing but a shadow of its usual power. "Come any closer and I'll put this through your face!" Naruto bellowed.

"It'd be in your best interest to stop screaming." Neji glared.

"Why would I ever do that!" Naruto said loudly. His rasengan began to spin even slower.

"Because I know your weakness Naruto," Neji's lips split into an ear splitting grin, "Sasuke may not have noticed the reason for your little outburst at the duel last week but I did," Neji's smile widened even more, "you're terrified of me challenging him to a duel aren't you? Its obvious."

Naruto gasped. His inner most fear had just been exposed. He quickly shook his head no in denial. He raised the rasengan higher and threatened to throw it. It was an empty threat and they both knew it, Naruto's hands were shaking. There was practically no rasengan left in his hand to even throw.

"You don't need to lie, I know that you're terrified that if I duel Sasuke he'll end up just like Itachi." Neji finally closed the space between them, he stroked the soft silk of Naruto's obi, "You saw how I beat Itachi, it'll be easy for me to kill Sasuke. I'll make a deal with you, let me see your body and I won't challenge your beloved Sasuke."

Naruto let the rest of his rasengan fizzle away. It finally settled that this was really going to happen. He had vowed to himself that he'd take care of Sasuke no matter what. He had no choice but to make good on his internal promise even if that meant putting his pride aside.

"You look scared Naruto, relax...Weren't you just about to take a dip in the tub? Let me help you in." Neji leered. He untied the knot of Naruto's obi and smiled in delight when it slid to the floor. He then took off the first layer of the bright red kimono. It fell to the floor along with the obi. He did the same for the next two layers and stopped when he got to Naruto's juban.

"You're always dressed so beautifully, everything about you is beautiful, even this," Neji purred as he glided his hands up and down the shiny fabric of the black juban. "I wish this was still white." Neji growled. "But nevertheless it's still beautiful." Neji took off the final layer of Naruto's kimono and revealed Naruto's naked body to the muted light of the room.

"Beautiful." Neji murmured in amazement. He touched the tattoo on Naruto's round stomach and then his two pink nipples. "You're so small and cute all over the only thing big on you is your stomach, will your small and delicate body be able to accept my forceful love?"

Naruto wanted to cry. His body felt weird, it wasn't used to anyone else but Sasuke touching it. He was disgusted by Neji's lust filled eyes on him.

"So this is the body the great Uchiha king has been enjoying every night?" Neji scowled, "he doesn't deserve you." Neji cupped Naruto's round ass. "I would've never imagined you wore such provocative undergarments, black lace looks divine on you." Neji pulled Naruto flush against him, he rubbed Naruto's ass as he sniffed the delectable scent of Naruto's neck. "I've never smelled a submissive as good as you, it's even better since you're pregnant, it makes your smell even sweeter." Neji inhaled a large sniff at the base of Naruto's neck, "you'd smell even better if you were carrying my child." Neji trailed a feather light kiss on Naruto's neck, and then cupped his chest. He flicked one of Naruto's pink nipples.

"I wish you had started producing milk already so I could've tasted it." Neji inhaled then snaked his hands back down to Naruto's lace covered ass. "Tell me, how was it? Losing your virginity? I want to know, was it good feeling a man inside you for the first time? I wonder what kind of face you made when he first entered you? Did you pant like a bitch in heat or did you just lie there and cry? How many times has he fucked you? It's still tight right? I hope it is cause I'd love to see those pretty blue eyes of yours fill with tears as I fuck into you. I want to stretch you out until you bleed."

Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He literally felt like he was going to throw up. He found a little bit of courage and pushed Neji away.

"There, you've undressed me, now leave!"

"You were aroused earlier, are you sure you don't want me to satisfy your desires? I'd be more than happy to show you what real pleasure feels like. Sasuke can't satisfy you like me." Neji boasted.

"I'd rather die than feel you inside me!" Naruto hissed, "Sasuke is better than you in every single way! What kind of alpha are you? You already have an omega of your own so why are you lusting for another! How can you call yourself a king when you do such disgraceful things? You're no king! You're a fraud!"

Neji gripped Naruto's arm tightly.

"Watch it! You're still a submissive and I can easily break you. Have you forgotten I know your weakness? It'd be unwise of you to provoke me."

"Leave!" Naruto cried, "You've already gotten what you wanted so leave already!"

"You know what, I changed my mind." Neji pulled Naruto's arm and dragged him to the bed. "I'll go with the original plan after all."

"Stop!" Naruto cried out as Neji roughly pushed onto the bed.

"You're just so beautiful, it'd be a crime if only one dominant got to fuck you." Neji looked over Naruto and then attempted to pry Naruto's legs open but Naruto wouldn't give in, "stop resisting! Open your legs before I force them open!"

"No! I'd rather die!"

Neji put his hand against Naruto's stomach; a white glow surrounded his palm. "If you don't open your legs I'll kill that precious baby that you're so proud of growing inside you."

"Don't you dare hurt him!" Naruto screamed. He wrapped his arms around his stomach to create a barrier.

"Then do as I say and open up your pretty little legs for me!"

"I won't." Naruto whimpered. He was terrified beyond belief but he wasn't weak. He wouldn't let this happen.

"Are you dumb, do you want me to kill your baby?" Neji threatened.

"Of course I don't but I won't allow any man who isn't Sasuke to enter me! That's something only a mate has a privilege to do!"

"Is his dick really that good that you'd be willing to die for it!" Neji growled, "what is it about those Uchiha's that's so fucking great, huh? My clan is just as good as theirs; we're just as strong! I beat Itachi and I'm stronger than your precious Sasuke! And you still don't want me. I have all the privileges that he has!" Neji raved. He had gone mad. "I want you so I'll have you so stop being so stubborn and open your damn legs!" Neji smacked Naruto's thighs, which instantly made Naruto part his legs due to the intense stinging.

Neji tore Naruto's panties off and then grabbed the back of Naruto's thighs so that he wouldn't be able to close his legs again.

"That's better." Neji gazed at Naruto's hole. "Good, it's still tight."

"Stop." Naruto strained against Neji's hold but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't close his legs. He was sweating and he felt like he was going to throw up. If he hadn't been pregnant he could've used a jutsu to fight against Neji but right now he was at half power, that rasengan he had tried to sustain earlier had drained him even more. Mentally he felt strong but physically he was weak.

"How many times have you let Sasuke stuff his dick in here?" Neji rubbed the hole with his thumb.

"Hnn." Naruto couldn't speak. His body was heavy. He could barely even hear Neji's words.

"I'm going to be honest, I only wanted you because you were the Uchiha's property but now-seeing you like this- my dicks never been harder for anyone else before. I don't think I can be gentle so you're just going to have to deal with the pain." Neji pulled his hakama down and rubbed his dick. He groaned, "I'm going to come inside you so that the Uchiha clan can know I've fucked their favorite bitch. Prepare yourself I'm going in dry."

Naruto felt the tip of Neji's dick prod at his entrance and then everything went silent. A sudden rush of energy surged through his body.

"What the fuck is happening!?" Neji yelled as he stared at Naruto's stomach.

Naruto looked down. The intricate lines of his seal mark were glowing bright white.

Naruto's body was flowing with newfound energy. He felt better than he had in months. He opened both his palms and two rasengan formed effortlessly. He aimed them directly at Neji.

"Get off of me." Naruto ordered. The scars on his cheeks appeared darker and his teeth looked like sharp canines.

"What the fuck, did that tattoo give you power?!"

"Get off or I'll kill you." The rasengans had begun to turn into a red bubbling color. Neji had never seen anything like it.

"Very well then," Neji straightened up, and redressed himself, "let's keep what happened between us here a secret, if Sasuke finds out there's no telling what he'd do," Neji smirked, "he might even challenge me to a duel and we both know how much you don't want that."

"Leave!" Naruto screamed. He got out of bed and threw both of the rasengans at Neji but both completely missed. He snatched up his obi from the ground and threw it at Neji's face. "Get out!"

Neji caught the obi and set it down next to Naruto.

"If you change your mind and you get bored of Sasuke I'll be here waiting for you, Naruto." Neji left with a kiss goodbye to Naruto's cheek.

As soon as the door closed Naruto dropped to the floor and sobbed into the silk fabric of his discarded kimono. Neji had only seen his body and touched him but Naruto felt violated. His body was Sasuke's! He hated that someone else other than his alpha had seen him.

Naruto bolted up, suddenly remembering Deidara. He had to untie him before Sasuke showed up. He quickly put his kimono back on and ran out the door to help his cousin but when he did, he didn't see him anywhere.

Seconds later Deidara rounded the corner. He looked confused.

"Naruto-nii! What are you doing out here all alone?" Deidara ran to his cousins' side.

"I was looking for you, where were you Dei?" Naruto questioned. He ran his eyes over Deidara's body to see if Neji had told the truth about not harming him.

"I don't know! I was standing guard but then I suddenly felt very tired, I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in the maids quarters. I came here as soon as I woke up! I'm sorry Naruto!" Deidara explained frantically.

Naruto knew exactly what had happened to him. Neji had put Deidara to sleep without him knowing, even someone as strong as Deidara could be fooled. That sneaky bastard had lied about tying him up.

"It's okay Dei. I'm not mad so don't worry."

"I'm glad but...what's that scent on you?" Deidara sniffed along Naruto's neck. "It doesn't smell like Sasuke?"

Naruto's face paled. He didn't want Deidara or anyone to know what had happened between him and Neji. He was too ashamed.

"It's nothing, I accidentally spilled some perfume I found all over myself, help me bathe myself before sasuke comes." Naruto lied quickly.

Deidara nodded. He guided Naruto back into the room and helped him bathe his body and hair in the tub. Afterwards he helped him into a silk night slip And then left the room to go back to stand guard outside.

When Sasuke returned later that night Naruto had made him wait to reveal all that he had found out during his secret quest through the Hyūga palace. Naruto needed to feel his dominant inside him. He needed to erase everything that Neji had left behind. As he kissed Sasuke desperately Sasuke understood that something was wrong. Naruto was behaving needier than usual. Sasuke didn't comment on Naruto's unusual behavior, he deduced that Naruto was acting like this because he had missed him.

Only after Naruto was full of Sasuke's seed was he able to finally calm down and drift off to sleep.

That night Naruto dreamt an unusual dream; it was a nightmare straight out of his deepest fears. Sasuke was no longer his alpha. Neji was his new mate and when he gave birth his child had pearl white eyes and a head of brown hair. What was even worse was that Sasuke's new mate was Sakura, she was pregnant as if she had never lost the baby and when her child was born the child had two glowing red eyes. The dream had been so realistic that as Naruto slept he clung to Sasuke, fearful that the dream would become reality and the love of his life would be taken away
