Broken

Chapter 44: In Color

A couple of days passed, letting the Uchiha and Uzumaki let the news sink in with their friends and family. It seemed like everyone was shocked about the news but the same question they asked, how they were going to marry when Japan barely had a law for same sex marriage?

Laying in a hammock that was tied to two posts on the deck, Naruto looked at the clouds that rolled lazily by. "I think that one looks like a little turtle."

"It kinda does." Prane agreed.

Itachi was dragged away by Zenda to help her with chucking hay into the hayloft.

Looking over, Naruto saw the blond with black strips tossing up a square bale for Itachi to cut loose and put neatly with the others. He had to do it himself when he was growing up with his grandfather.

"Naruto do you remember when we first met?" Prane brought up, glancing over at the blond that she was laying with.

Smiling, Naruto rolled over onto his side and stared at the brunette. "Of course I do. It was the first day of school. We had PE together. No one would talk to you because you weren't part of our world or something like that."

"It was because of the shirt I used for PE. It had the male and female symbols on it, showing same sex relationships." The verde eyed woman corrected but nodded. "Yeah. You were the only one that would talk to me because of it. Then you showed me Sasuke."

"Yeah, that was funny. The first words out of your mouth was-"

"Chicken ass!" Prane laughed as she held her sides. She enjoyed that because that was her own little nickname for him because of his hairstyle. "Does he still have his hair like that?"

"Yep! It's pathetic because Itachi and I told him he needs to change it because he needs to look different. We threatened to strap him down and give him a haircut." Naruto chuckled at the memory. He enjoyed tormenting his friend about a lot of things and one of those his never changing hairstyle.

"Like he would do that. He wouldn't change his clothing style if we asked him too." Prane commented with a laugh. She couldn't wait to see her old friends again. "What about Hinata and Gaara? Sakura? Is Sai still there?"

"Speaking of those two, you wouldn't believe it but sophomore year after you left, they hooked up. They're getting married soon."

Prane interrupted him with a squeal. She always envied the lavender eyed teen for her looks since she felt like she wasn't good looking herself. She also loved Hinata for her personality but who couldn't. Gaara, she was kinda weary of him since he usually kept that face that said he wasn't afraid to kill anyone that got into his bubble. She even nicknamed him panda bear which pissed him off.

"Sakura, she hates Sasuke and my guts because somehow she found out that we were dating. That ended badly because she kept tormenting me during the school year. She would throw my stuff onto the floor or knock it out of my hands. Luckily, I didn't have her for chemistry. Sai still the jackass that he's been since day one. He still looks up to Danzo."

"That bastard isn't dead yet?"

Naruto shook his head and looked over at the slightly pale teen that was his same age.

"How about this? Do you remember homecoming?"

"Of course! That was so much fun when we forced Sasuke to dance with us. I loved that part. Then somehow someone requested Gay Bar by The Electric Six which seemed weird but . . ."

"It was awesome though. The after party that we threw together was fun as hell. Especially the part where Itachi came walking into the room half asleep and looking like a zombie. After he fell asleep again, we put his hair into pigtails and made him slap his face with whip cream on his face." The college student laughed.

"So that was you." Itachi's voice caused both teens to jump and hold each other, praying that the hammock wouldn't flip. He laughed and sat down on the side. Looking over at the two, he smirked. "That is pretty daring since Sasuke doesn't walk around the house lightly. He might now because of Maiko but might not."

"You're telling me." Naruto complained with a huff. He hated it when he tried to prank someone with Sasuke behind him. He stomped it seemed like when he was suppose to be walking normal or tiptoeing.

"We had fun though." Prane concluded with a smile, hugging the blond that was next to her.

An upbeat chapter for a change. Please review.
