Author's note: I'm sorry for the delay, guys! I've been busy with other projects and this one took me way too long to finish, despite knowing where I wanted to go with this, so yeah ... Again my apologies for having you wait so long!
Thanks to the following reviewer: smint45
Warning: Three different povs in this one; very light implied mature content; some drama; author not having much knowledge about court procedures so I'm whinging it
I hope you'll like this! Dedicated to everyone who wanted to see Sakura getting punished.
Chapter 32
"Why didn't you come to us sooner? We would have helped you," Mikoto chided; a heavy frown marring her beautiful face.
Sasuke scowled, diverting his gaze to the dining table. "I thought it was finally handled. Since Suigetsu told her to back off a couple of years ago, she didn't try to contact me again."
"Clearly it wasn't handled perfectly," Fugaku pointed out; his mouth pursed with displeasure.
"Maybe she thought she could try again after seeing Sasuke in the store," Naruto suggested; anger spiking up once more as the image of the pink haired woman crossed his mind.
It was two days after Sasuke's birthday. Two days since they had realised that Haruno had purposefully tried to put a wedge between Naruto and Sasuke by implying the former had cheated with his brother-in-law. Needless to say none of them were happy with the Beta woman now.
Fugaku and Mikoto had been informed about it; Itachi reasoning that they would need all the help they could get in order to drill it into Haruno's mind that she wasn't welcome anymore once and for all. Considering she had already tried to discredit Naruto once before, they didn't want to give her another chance to try again.
Normally Naruto wasn't one to desire revenge, not wanting to waste any more time or attention on someone, but in this case he was willing to make an exception. Screw putting himself above her – she had tried to hurt his family and he was going to see to it that she would pay for that.
At the moment they were gathered at Deidara's and Itachi's place, because that one was closer to the Uchiha Manor than Naruto's and Sasuke's home was.
"She's certainly persistent," Itachi murmured; a faint frown creasing his forehead. "I give her that."
"Do you think we should contact Hozuki-san and request his help again, un?" Deidara suggested; the baby monitor resting in front of him on the table. Akihito was old enough by now to be able to babysit his little brother and his cousin for a while, but the monitor served as a precaution.
"No, this is something we'll have to do on our own," Itachi rejected the idea, shaking his head. "No offense to Hozuki-san, but it's clear that whatever kept her away before didn't have a lasting impact."
"So what will have a lasting impact?" Naruto questioned rather impatiently.
"Well, threats obviously don't work," Sasuke remarked disdainfully, crossing his arms.
"Maybe not the threats Hozuki-san uses," Mikoto mused and Naruto side eyed her warily.
"While I'm all for punishing her, I don't want to get into trouble with the law," he pointed out, a bit unnerved at the harsh glint in his mother-in-law's eyes.
She waved his concern away. "Don't worry, we won't get into trouble with the law," she reassured him.
The Omega couldn't help but note that she had said they wouldn't get in trouble with law enforcement – not that they wouldn't be doing something they could get into trouble for.
"We could enlist Shisui's help," Itachi mused aloud. "He's a lawyer, so he might know a law that could help us."
"I thought he was too busy with those three big cases?" Sasuke remarked, frowning.
The older Alpha shrugged. "He'll make time for us," he said decisively.
"I'm going to ask around a bit, see what people know about her," Mikoto proposed, taking a sip from her tea.
"In the meantime, Sasuke, I advise you to go to court and ask a restraining order. A temporary one if they don't want to give a permanent one," Fugaku said. "Hozuki-san might be able to help you with that."
"A restraining order from the start would have made all of this so much easier, un," Deidara muttered darkly, running a hand through his ponytail.
"My apologies for thinking she wouldn't be this stupid or persistent," Sasuke retorted snarky.
"How quickly would they deliver her a restraining order?" Naruto wondered.
Fugaku smirked. "Immediately, I imagine, once they hear what kind of family they're dealing with."
"A restraining order will give us at least more time to decide what we're going to do with her," Itachi added thoughtfully.
Their heads swivelled towards the door when it swung open, revealing Kei standing there in the middle of the doorway, sucking on his thumb. Behind him stood an exasperated Akihito and a bemused looking Shion, who held his brother's hand.
"Kei-kun didn't want to play with the toys any longer," Akihito explained with an apologetic shrug.
"Hey sweetheart," Naruto cooed and stood up, holding out his arms. Kei toddled over towards him, raising his arms so he could be picked up. "Are you tired?"
Keeping one chubby arm wrapped around Naruto's neck, Kei used his other free hand to rub his eyes. "Wanna go home, daddy," he mumbled, placing his head against Naruto's shoulder.
"Guess it's time for his nap," Naruto smiled apologetically, rubbing slowly up and down over Kei's back.
"We understand," Mikoto chuckled; her eyes softening when her gaze landed on her sleepy grandson. "We'll keep you two up to date, all right?"
"Sounds good," Sasuke agreed and rose up from his chair. "We'll talk again soon then."
They said their goodbyes and went outside to Sasuke's car. The sun shone fiercely above them and the simmering warm air felt cloying. They had parked in the shadow of a large oak tree, but even in the shade it was quite warm and Naruto could feel sweat starting to coat his forehead and neck.
Kei was already out like a light by the time Naruto had buckled him into his seat.
The ice cold air blasting from the air-conditioning felt heavenly against his skin and Naruto sighed in relief, adjusting it slightly so that the air hit his face and neck more thoroughly.
"Your mother scares the crap out of me," Naruto murmured, leaning his head back against the headrest.
They left the driveway and hit the road; trees flashing by as the car picked up speed.
"She can be rather … overprotective of her family," Sasuke admitted begrudgingly, tapping his fingers on top of the steering wheel.
"Sasuke, don't take this the wrong way, but I definitely got some yakuza vibes from this meeting," the Omega remarked grimacing.
"You don't know half of it," Sasuke muttered darkly.
Naruto eyed his husband warily, but decided it was better for his peace of mind if he didn't ask any further questions.
Things slowly started to fall into place.
The first thing Sasuke did was issue a restraining order against Haruno. He should have done that years ago, but back then he had foolishly thought she would eventually give up. It had certainly seem like she had done that because he hadn't heard from or seen her in years – until he had encountered her in the supermarket. That seemed to have convinced her that trying to contact him again would be a good idea. Why she had thought trying to drive a wedge between him and Naruto would lead to him going back to her was a mystery to him, but it was clear that she couldn't be reasoned with anymore.
Sasuke knew the moment she had received the restraining order, because he was called by Suigetsu right when he had just shut down his computer and was packing everything up to go home.
"Why are you calling me at this hour?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow; dark eyes flitting towards his watch, which indicated it was nearly six thirty.
"A good evening to you too, arsehole," Suigetsu snarked. "It looks like your lovely ex-girlfriend read her post just now."
"And how do you know that?" Sasuke questioned, snapping his briefcase shut.
"Because she apparently kept my number from the last time we communicated and she just called me to scream at me," Suigetsu answered aggravated. "Fucking crazy bitch. Asked me to give her your phone number."
"You didn't give it to her, did you?" Sasuke asked sharply, stiffening.
"Of course not!" Suigetsu snorted. "What, you think I'm stupid? I don't fancy having the entire Uchiha clan after my arse just for giving out a phone number. No, don't worry, I didn't give her any way to contact you. You owe me some great whiskey, though, bastard, because my ears are still ringing!"
Click. He had hung up.
Sasuke blinked and slipped his phone into his pocket, breathing out slowly. Well, at least she couldn't pretend she hadn't received the restraining order now with her call to Suigetsu. The order should give them enough time to come up with something more permanent to keep her out of their lives. He'd leave that part up to his family; they had always been better in creating plans for situations like this one.
"So she got the restraining order then?" Naruto asked; his voice a bit muffled as he approached their bedroom after having taken a shower.
"Yeah, she called Suigetsu to scream at him apparently," Sasuke replied, deftly flicking open the buttons of his shirt and shrugging it off.
Through the open window the soft breeze carried with it the lingering warmth of today's heat. The soothing scent of lavender joined it while the setting sun cast its dying rays of red, purple, rose and orange against the walls.
After removing his trousers, he sat down on the bed to get rid of his socks, leaving him in just a pair of underwear.
"Poor dude," Naruto chuckled and closed the door behind him, wandering over to the closet to grab some sweatpants.
The Alpha looked up right in time to see his mate turn around and pull up his sweatpants – while his chest and hips still bore the fading marks of bruises.
Bruises Sasuke had put there a week ago when ugly jealousy, anger, and the despicable urge to possess had taken him over.
Normally the dark haired man was proud to see his marks adorning his mate's body, displaying just who the blond belonged to. Now the sight of them made him feel sick, because he had put them there in a fit of rage, when he had mistakenly assumed that his brother and his husband would go behind his back.
There was nothing that could excuse his horrible way of handling the situation.
"Sasuke? Something wrong?" Naruto questioned in a low voice and Sasuke started, not having realised the Omega had come to stand directly in front of him.
Dark eyes traced the various bruises and hands clenched into fists as the Alpha felt repulsed by the evidence of him having lost control.
Naruto looked down and comprehension crossed his face quickly when he took in the sight of the fading marks. With a sigh, he rested his hands on Sasuke's shoulders and took a step closer.
"I'm not angry at you for those, nor blaming you," he murmured; his thumbs rubbing soothingly across Sasuke's collarbone.
The Alpha swallowed and said thickly, "You should be. I hurt you."
The younger man clucked his tongue and shook his head. "This isn't the first time we've had rough sex, bastard, and I dare say – and frankly hope – it won't be the last time either," he retorted exasperatedly. "I've had bruises before; this is nothing!"
"This is not nothing, Naruto!" Sasuke snapped frustrated. "I wasn't in my right mind when I had sex with you and I hurt you!" Hands bored down on his shoulders with a surprising strength.
"True, you were jealous and thought I was screwing Itachi behind your back," Naruto agreed, but his voice was oddly quiet. "And the only thing you did when you thought that was fuck me, let me know whose mate I actually am. You didn't hit me, didn't abuse me or filed for a divorce straight away. You could have done so many horrible things, Sasuke, and the only thing you did in the end was have sex with me. Sex which I enthusiastically cooperated with, in case you're about to get any stupid ideas about it," he added with a huff.
"Just because I didn't beat you up doesn't make what I did better!" Sasuke growled angrily.
"Oh my god! Would you just shut up?" Naruto groaned and before the Alpha could say something, he was roughly pushed back on the bed and then there were legs clamping down around his hips and hungry lips devouring his mouth; fingers slipping through his hair and tightening around the black strands.
He found himself returning the passionate kiss; his own hands sliding up Naruto's back and then down to his arse, cupping his cheeks.
"Stop being so stupid," Naruto ordered roughly when he pulled back; his cerulean blue eyes staring down at his husband with determination. "You want my forgiveness? Fine, you have it, even though there's nothing to forgive about that moment in the shower. Just – stop being such an idiot, all right? You didn't hurt me."
"Eloquent as always," Sasuke sighed, but a helpless smile played around his lips.
God, the things this Omega did to him …
"Now I want you to stop beating yourself up about it," Naruto continued with a huff, sitting up straight on Sasuke's thighs. Then blue eyes darkened and those reddened lips curled up in a devious smile. "But if you really want to make up for it – let's redo that session here in bed, hm? Show me how sorry you are."
The Omega wriggled his butt and then laughed in surprise when he was suddenly turned around, landing back on the bed. His laughter changed into moans soon as they joined their bodies into a dance they had perfected by now.
Staking their claim on each other over and over again.
"You have an idea how to deal with her?" Sasuke asked tersely.
Shisui – his older cousin – closed the door behind him, cutting off the sounds of Akihito's ninth birthday party going on outside.
"Yes, I do, but the ball's in your court for this one. Literally," he added humourlessly and leant against the desk in Itachi's private study.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked confused.
"Itachi told me that you two are soulmates," Shisui started contemplatively. "Sorry if that was supposed to be a secret," he added with a wry smile.
"Not really; it doesn't matter," Sasuke muttered and shrugged.
"Well, despite many people thinking it's just a romantic fairy tale, there are actually laws in place which deal with the concept of soulmates," Shisui went on, resting his hands against the edge of the desk.
"Laws that could help us with her?" Naruto questioned hopefully.
The Beta man nodded. "Yes, one law in particular will be very useful to deal with her if you want to call on it. I'll spare you the complicated jargon, but basically this law punishes anyone who tries to fuck around with a soulmate bond."
"What kind of punishment would they get?" Sasuke asked and felt Naruto's fingers entangling with his.
"Depending on the severity of the infraction, she's looking at a sentence of eight to fifteen years at least. Yeah, the writer of this law didn't take messing around with soulmate bonds lightly," he remarked dryly when he noticed both Naruto's and Sasuke's eyes widening.
"But you need evidence of her tampering with our bond, right?" Sasuke inquired and furrowed his eyebrows.
"I still have the picture, Otouto," Itachi replied calmly from his seat behind his desk. He nodded towards the top drawer. "I thought it would be prudent to hold on to it, though of course the picture will make more sense – and more importantly will be a more convincing piece of evidence – if you include the letter you received with it."
"I still have the letter," Sasuke admitted sourly. "Thought about throwing it out, but I put it in one of the drawers in my practice."
"That letter should be damning enough on its own, but to be certain we can add your friend Hozuki-san's testimony to it with the list of warnings he has given her throughout the years," Shisui stated and then visibly hesitated, eying the younger Alpha warily.
"What?" Sasuke questioned suspiciously.
"Well, there is one more – piece of evidence if you will that would almost guarantee her receiving the longest sentence," the Beta said slowly.
"Which is?" Something akin to dread filled Sasuke's stomach and he wasn't certain whether he actually wanted to know what kind of evidence his cousin was talking about.
Shisui and Itachi shared a look before the older man turned to face Sasuke again with grave eyes. "Itachi told me your reasons for breaking up with her," he answered carefully. "It's your choice, but if you're willing to talk about it in court then it would prove how unstable she is and to what kind of lengths she's willing to go to trap you."
A bitter taste coated Sasuke's mouth. "I don't know," he said, grimacing. He'd like nothing more than to forget about the things she had tried to do, how she had tried to trick him first into giving her the Mark and then into getting her pregnant against his will. If he hadn't noticed the change in her scent, if he had been any less aware …
"Nobody's going to force you to talk about it, Sasuke," Itachi said soothingly. "It's just an option. Shisui will already have enough evidence with the letter and Hozuki-san's testimony. This would just be an extra piece of evidence."
"But she would already at least get eight years even without Sasuke informing the court what she tried to do?" Naruto asked, appearing quite tensed. His eyes were dark with anger and his fingers were tightening around Sasuke's almost imperceptibly.
"At the very least eight years, yes, if not a bit more," Shisui confirmed and smirked lightly. "I've never lost a case either, I can assure you of that."
"It's your choice, Otouto. It's up to you whether you're taking her to court and whether you add your own story to the evidence," Itachi said. "If you don't want to go to court, we can always think of something else."
They probably would think of something else, but taking her to court would be the easiest solution, Sasuke realised. It would set a clear message for Haruno and she would be out of his life for several years at the very least, if not more depending on what kind of extra conditions she would get on top of her sentence. At least eight years without having to worry about her trying to fuck with his relationship again.
Fifteen if not more if he informed the court what she had tried to do when they had been together.
"I'm taking her to court," Sasuke announced decisively and this time his fingers were the ones tightening around Naruto's when he added, "But … I'd like a bit more time to decide whether I'm going to tell my story."
"That's fine," Shisui reassured him immediately and smiled gently. "I can start the procedure tomorrow and then you still have at least two more weeks if not more to decide whether you're going to tell your story or not. Is that all right with you?"
Sasuke nodded his acquiescence.
Shisui startled them all by clapping his hands together. "All right, now that that's settled, I'm going to get some of that apple pie before it's completely gone!" he announced brightly and left the room, Itachi following closely behind.
"You okay with all this?" Naruto asked softly.
"I just want to be done with her once and for all," Sasuke murmured and breathed out slowly, rolling his shoulders. "If going to court means being free of her, then that's a small price to pay. How about you? You'd have to be present in court as well. Are you okay with this?"
His mate shrugged and slipped his arms around Sasuke's waist, pulling him closer. "Like you said: I want to be done with all of this. Court seems like the easiest way to settle all this."
He rested his head against Sasuke's shoulder and sighed softly. "Just a bit longer and we're done with this."
Sasuke said nothing; instead he brought his arms around Naruto's back and breathed in his familiar scent – letting it comfort him as they stood there in silence.
On the tenth of September Sasuke found himself standing in court, being represented by his cousin Shisui.
Haruno had tried to talk to him outside, demanding he dropped his charges, even resorting to bursting out in tears when he stoically ignored her. She was sitting a couple of feet away from him to his left now. He was aware of her gaze occasionally flitting towards him, but he didn't give her the satisfaction of looking back.
She didn't deserve anything of him.
The judge listened gravely as he took the stand and recounted the way their relationship had ended. How there had been many fights between them about him supposedly not committing himself enough to her. How she had tried to trick him into giving her the Mark, despite his expressive wishes of not being ready yet. How she had lied to him about taking her suppressants during their heat and attempted to get him to impregnate her, even though he had told her several times he wanted to wait for at least a couple more years.
Haruno tried to interrupt him several times until the judge lost his patience and ordered her lawyer to keep his client quiet until it was her turn to talk.
She quietened down, but when Sasuke chanced a look at her, he saw that the sorrow on her face had made place for cold fury and strangely that lifted him up and it was with a lighter heart that he returned to Naruto, who grasped his hand and kissed his cheek.
Haruno received her turn to tell her side of the story and claimed Sasuke was the one lying now, saying that he had toyed with her emotions before dumping her when all she had wanted was to make things serious between them.
When Shisui questioned her about the letter and the picture, she sputtered, stammering that she had just wanted to prevent Sasuke from getting hurt. He questioned her further, asked why she had tried to contact Sasuke again despite having received multiple warnings, and she was remarkably quieter when she returned to her seat, not looking up even once for the rest of the hearing.
The judge ruled in Sasuke's favour as Shisui had been certain he would. Haruno received a sentence of fifteen years to be served immediately. On top of that she wasn't allowed to come near the Uchiha clan, Naruto or their children ever again for the rest of her life unless she wanted to risk another sentence.
Sasuke had won.
"We've won!" Naruto crowed, jumping up and down when they were back at their car. "We're free from her!"
"Yes, we are," Sasuke smiled and pressed Naruto against the car to kiss him thoroughly.
Feeling light with the knowledge that she would never bother them again.
Sparkling blue eyes met his when he pulled back and his smile grew as his hands shifted to Naruto's hips and their scents mingled; their heats flaring up again, no longer muted now that they were paying attention to it.
"What do you say of having another baby?" he asked; his fingers tightening around the Omega's hips. The idea of having another child, another son or maybe a daughter now, growing more invasive now that he thought about it until he could clearly picture it.
The way Naruto's stomach would grow round with their child … A second baby to hold and cherish and love …
Pink lips parted in surprise before Naruto laughed and clasped his arms around Sasuke's neck. "Yes! Let's have another one!"
"You're sure?"
"Absolutely. Let's do this!"
Sasuke had never driven home so fast before.
They didn't leave their room for the rest of the day.
What both Sasuke and Naruto didn't know and probably wouldn't ever know was that Sakura not only had lost her freedom for the next fifteen years, but also her work and the few friends she had made when she had moved to another town.
Mikoto hummed, pursing her lips slightly as she applied red lipstick to it. She turned her face to the left and then to the right, checking her make-up. In the mirror she saw her husband approaching her.
"You're incredible," Fugaku informed her, brushing a kiss against her cheek.
She smiled and rose up, turning around to look at him. "She tried to ruin their lives – I merely returned the favour," she smiled sweetly.
"And this is why you are the perfect fit for me," he whispered and kissed her softly.
She rested her hands against his chest and returned his kiss; satisfaction like a warm glow inside of her.
If you tried to take on an Uchiha, you had to be prepared for the consequences.
Too bad that girl hadn't understood that rule.
AN2: So admittedly I'm actually a bit nervous about this chapter, because I know there were many expectations placed upon it. I hope I didn't disappoint! *winces*
Next chapter will contain something very interesting and something a lot of you have been wondering about ...
Please leave your thoughts behind in a review; should you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me!
See you all in the next chapter!
