Thank you to unneeded, G and
Talltree-san for your reviews. To G, I can see your
point about that particular scene. I didn’t change much of that
from the original, and I admit it was close to that of the movie’s
scene (I will most likely change that later on when I have more
time). I think Sakura’s reaction – and that of the woman
in the movie – is based off of too many films/television shows
romanticizing male inmates as sexy, repressed men and not the reality
of what and how true convicts are (take Prison Break for example –
Hollywood glamors it up). Sakura doesn’t really take time to
think that Sasuke is a prison inmate doing time for murder; to her
it’s mainly the naïve novelty of an attractive man within
close distance.

Special thanks goes to Vitty Rose, who read over
this for me and helped me out with it.

Chapter 3

Naruto stretched out in the early morning sunshine,
closing his eyes briefly as he lifted his head towards the sky. This
was his favorite part of the day, to come outside just after sunrise
when the air was nice and warm. The smell of nature always brought a
smile to his face as he breathed deeply of the pine trees surrounding
the large farmhouse. He enjoyed staying here more than the house he
and Orochimaru used in the city. That house was too impersonal for
his tastes; the stark white walls and dark décor. He much
preferred the homey atmosphere of the farmhouse, the place where he
could just relax and be himself and not have to worry about eyes
watching and criticizing his every move.

Seeing movement, Naruto recognized Kiba, one of the
guards stationed for the farmhouse's work program. He called out to
the brunette, waving at the man as he began walking towards him. He
noticed Akamaru trailing along behind Kiba.

"Hey Naruto! You're up kinda early this
morning." Kiba's voice boomed a bit; he was every bit as loud as
Naruto used to be.

Smiling, Naruto nodded slightly. "Yeah, I was
planning to get a short jog in this morning before doing some work
around the house." He looked over Kiba's shoulder and spotted a
familiar figure standing a few feet to Kiba's left. It was the inmate
who fixed the kitchen sink the other day, Sasuke he remembers his
name is.

Black eyes stared at the blonde intensely. Feeling a
blush begin to creep up his neck, Naruto cleared his throat and gave
a small smile to the raven-haired man. Sasuke stood a few inches
taller than his own five foot nine frame, his body more muscled due
to working out constantly in the prison weight room and around the
yard. His black hair gleamed with dark blue highlights in the bright
sun, his pale skin actually a nice contrast to his dark hair and
eyes.

"Um, thanks for fixing the pipe in the
kitchen," he said, mentally kicking himself at his lame words.
Sasuke merely grunted, shrugging his shoulders while keeping his
stare fixed on Naruto.

"Well uh, I'm just gonna go back to the house,
I'll see you later Kiba!" Naruto waved nervously and headed back
towards the farmhouse; the whole time he walked he could feel the
heavy weight of that black gaze resting on his back. He shivered a
little as he made it to the porch and finally turned around, seeing
Sasuke following Kiba to one of the work sheds in the distance.

Grabbing his iPod and ear buds, Naruto scrolled to
his favorite music and placed the buds in his ears as he set off to
begin his run. Black eyes watched the slender blonde until his back
disappeared around a curve.

Slamming his hands angrily on the steering wheel,
Naruto again cursed himself for not buying a newer car. This had to
be the fifth time this month that the damned thing had refused to
start, but for some reason he just didn't want to go through the
hassle of searching for a new car; ok, so he was a self-denying
procrastinator, at least he admitted it. Well, if only to himself
that is.

Grumbling under his breath, Naruto got out and
trekked down to the guard's shack just down from the house. Maybe if
he was lucky Kiba would be able to help him out again, even though
technically it was only a quick fix. But he really needed to get into
town and pick up some groceries, and Orochimaru had one of those
annoying publicity parties for his campaign. Naruto chuckled to
himself; maybe he could use this as an excuse not to go, he
absolutely hated them.

Finally getting to the shack, Naruto saw Kiba
sitting on a chair behind the large window. "Just the man I
needed to see," he huffed as said guard caught sight of him.

"Hey Naruto, the car again?" He laughed
slightly at Naruto's disgruntled expression.

"Can you help me out again? It won't crank."

"Man, you seriously need to junk that thing and
get a new ride." Kiba let another guard know he was leaving for
a few minutes and followed behind the blonde as they headed back
towards the large house at the end of the property. Akamaru stayed
with the other guard, sleeping on the floor.

"Hey, hang on a minute, I got an idea,"
Kiba said before jogging into the workshed where a small group of
inmates were gathered. Naruto just watched as he returned less than a
minute later with that dark-haired inmate on his heels. He fought a
blush as again those black eyes seemed to peer into his soul.

"Sasuke here used to be a mechanic; I figure
maybe he could take a look and see if he could fix the problem or at
least give you an idea of what to do about it."

Naruto just nodded, studiously avoiding Sasuke's
intense stare as the three began walking. Once they reached the
somewhat battered dark red '85 Honda Accord, Naruto stood back while
Sasuke popped the hood and took a look at the engine. After several
minutes, Sasuke asked, "Are the keys in the ignition?"

"Um, yeah," Naruto said nervously as
Sasuke came out from the front and went to the driver's side door.
Brushing past the blonde, he got into the driver's seat and tried to
crank the car; it started right off. Grateful, Naruto smiled at
Sasuke as he stepped out of the car.

"You need a new starter, this one is going out.
It's going to get to the point where it won't be able to crank at
all, so you should have that done as soon as possible."

"Oh, ok, thank you. Um, if I can get the part
can you fix it?"

Sasuke nodded. "Sure. I have all the tools I
need in the shed, I can write down the exact part and if you have a
local auto supply store then they should have one." He took the
piece of paper Naruto had found in the glove compartment and using a
pen also stored there, he wrote down what was needed and handed it to
Naruto, making sure their fingers touched for a brief moment.

Naruto felt his face get hot. "Alright, I need
to get some things in town and I can pick one up today if the store
has them in stock. Can you repair it tomorrow if I get it?" He
couldn't meet the other man's eyes as he spoke.

"Yeah. Won't take long, just leave the car out
front and I'll get to it as soon as I can."

"Thanks so much! I really appreciate it,"
Naruto hurriedly climbed into the car and watched as Kiba escorted
Sasuke back to the work shed. He made himself look away as Sasuke
eyed him from the shed's doorway, putting the car in gear and driving
to the gate. He waved to Kiba as he passed, his body beginning to
cool off from the short encounter with the handsome inmate.

Naruto had placed the last of the groceries in their
rightful places and was now relaxing on the couch. He'd gotten his
ear talked off by an old friend at the store; she was a huge gossip
and he'd had to lie and say he was late for a meeting with Orochimaru
to get away from her. His head throbbed a bit from a headache he'd
acquired, and all he wanted to do was just sit quietly.

Turning the TV on, he kept the volume lowered as he
flipped to a local station to watch the news. His brow lifted as he
caught the tail end of a segment on Orochimaru's function earlier
that day. He was glad now that he hadn't gone; it was large indeed if
it had gotten the attention to be put on a news cast.

He saw some of the footage of the party, and his
brow quirked up as he saw off the very right of the screen a shot of
his husband's hand briefly passing over his assistant's ass. He
couldn't help but get angered by the witnessed grope; if anyone saw
it then he'd have to live with the whispers and gossip behind his
back, as if it wasn't bad enough now.

Sighing tiredly, Naruto shut the television off and
decided to make himself a light supper. It was pushing six, and he
didn't know or even really care if Orochimaru was coming home for
dinner.

Just after four the next afternoon, Naruto was in
the middle of his first reading lesson after being gone so long; he
was teaching a group of nine kids ranging from five years old to
about eight. Shizune, the woman in charge of all volunteers, had been
overly happy to see him return. Though it was Friday, she'd agreed to
let him teach that day's lesson to get back into the swing of things.
A soft knock on the classroom door caught his attention, and he
paused in his session.

"I'll be back in a minute, just keep practicing
your words until I come back," he told them as he headed for the
door. Upon looking out through the glass, he saw Orochimaru's
distinct figure standing in the hallway. Naruto sighed mentally as he
noticed the slight scowl on the older man's face.

Making sure to shut the door for some privacy,
Naruto stood several feet away from Orochimaru and leaned against a
wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he met the cool golden eyes.

"Was there something you needed?"

"Why weren't you at the function yesterday? I
tried calling the house and your cell phone, but you didn't answer. I
want to know why you missed a very important party that was in
regards to my mayoral campaign." Orochimaru's voice was almost a
hiss as he demanded answers.

"Can't this wait until later? I'm in the middle
of a class!" Naruto wanted very much to hit his husband for his
tone of voice. He hated when people talked down to him like he was a
piece of garbage, and he wouldn't stand for anyone, much less his
soon-to-be ex-husband, treating him that way.

"Well seeing as this is the only place I was
actually able to find you, no I didn't think it could wait."

Keeping his voice even, Naruto glared at Orochimaru.
"Fine. I didn't go because honestly, you didn't need me there.
And before you say anything," he forestalled the other man as he
saw a pale hand raised to halt his reply, "I know you think you
need me for support but from what I saw, you have all the support you
need with Kabuto. For God's sake, couldn't you at the very least keep
your hands to yourselves while in public? Do you know how humiliating
it was to walk in here today and see the pitying looks from my
friends and other volunteers? This is why I wanted to get the
divorce, I'm tired of faking our 'happy' marriage."

"I'm assuming that's the reason you felt the
need to move your things into the guest bedroom?"

Naruto nodded. He'd put his clothes and personal
items into the guest bedroom just down the hall from the master
bedroom. No sense in sharing a room if they aren't even together.

"Very well. If you wish to proceed with a
divorce then fine, I won't stop you. Doesn't matter that you choose
to do so at a very inconvenient time for me." Naruto easily
heard the derisive sneer in Orochimaru's voice as he turned to leave.

"You know, it's not always about you. That's
one of the biggest problems we've always had; you completely
disregard my feelings. You never think how it will affect me."
As he met the now frigid stare of his husband, he added before going
back into his classroom, "I'll be filing first thing Monday
morning, and I'll also be looking for an apartment or house. At least
then you and Kabuto won't have to worry about being interrupted
during a 'meeting' so if you want to grab his ass then you'll be free
to."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes as his mouth thinned in
annoyance, then strode down the hallway and out of the rec center.
Naruto sighed deeply, then plastering a bright smile on his face he
opened the door and returned to his class.
