Author's Note: Hey guys…

I can only assume by the extreme lack of reviewing that you were all either on Holiday and couldn't get to a computer or I've failed you as a writer (and I'm willing to bet that it's the latter…)

Still! Please don't let my awful updating skills stop you from enjoying this: Chapter 20: The Epilogue.

~ xx ~ ** ~ xx ~

"Honey, I'm home!"

"DAMMIT TEME I TOLD YOU TO STOP DOING THAT!"

Uchiha Sasuke smirked as he ducked to avoid a collision with a flying ladle. The cooking utensil hit the wall and harmlessly fell to the floor. No Uchiha's were harmed in the making of this soup.

The raven-haired beauty walked into his kitchen to be greeted by the oh-so-wonderful sight of Naruto in his apron, working hard on making soup. Sasuke, having picked it up after it fell, sat the ladle on the side as a peace offering. Naruto growled at him.

"Stupid teme, I'm not a fucking woman! Just because it's my day off doesn't mean you can just treat me like a housewife! I have a job, too! I'm a very successful doctor! I pay for the bills just as much as you do you great fucking teme," he grumbled as he chopped with newfound vigour (he was imagining the leeks as Sasuke's stuck up pretty-boy face).

"Hey, calm down dobe," Sasuke said with a smile as he sat down at the kitchen table, resting his hand in his chin as he watched Naruto cooking. He loved watching Naruto cook: it was a marvel. He was not sure when Naruto had learnt to make anything other than instant ramen; but he sure had. His favourite dish to make, however simple, seemed to be his leek and potato soup. It was also his most delicious.

Naruto grumbled under his breath and Sasuke didn't bother to listen, knowing the idiot would be out of his funk in just a moment.

"So, baby, how was your day?" The blonde said happily with a smile.

See? This sort of thing was like clockwork. So predictable: but Sasuke wouldn't have it any other way.

"It wasn't bad actually. In fact, we've just set up the merger with that other company I was telling you about. It looks very promising, profits should be on the rise, which means that we're going to have even more money to spend," Sasuke said with a smirk, already anticipating Naruto's reaction.

"You mean we can get a new TV?"

So predictable.

"Yes, dobe, we can. But really it should come out of your paycheque, seeing as you're the one who broke it,"

"Shut up! That was your fault! If you hadn't jumped on me, I wouldn't have fallen and we would still be able to watch 'Ugly Betty'!"

"I don't recall a time ever in our married life where we have watched 'Ugly Betty'," Sasuke said, managing to keep his voice level when all he really wanted to do was scream with laughter.

"Well maybe sometimes you should think about me for a change," Naruto said with a pout, crossing his arms over his apron and looking away from the Uchiha.

"Hn, dobe," Sasuke said, standing swiftly and appearing at his side in less than a second. He breathed gently across the back of his husband's neck causing Naruto to shiver involuntarily "I always think about you,"

"T-Teme, go away, I'm making our dinner," Naruto almost punched himself for the stutter; he didn't need Sasuke getting all smug and shit.

"Hn," the soft snort followed by a superior smirk proved that Sasuke was, in fact, 'all smug and shit'.

"Bastard," Naruto growled, wrenching himself away from the raven and going back to his soup-making "Go feed the cat, okay?"

"Sure," Sasuke replied, smirk still firmly in place. He walked to the corner of the kitchen in their apartment where there sat a small litter box and two pet bowls. Sasuke picked up the bowl that did not contain water and poured the cat food biscuits into it.

At the sound of this, a small tabby jumped onto the counter, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. The cat had been a wedding present from both Iruka and Kakashi. They had decided that, seeing as the two couldn't have children, they should have something to look after and love. However, they had given them the cat thinking it was a boy and had told them so…so they had named it:

"Takeo(1), get off the counter," Sasuke said, pushing the cat aside so he could continue pouring out the food.

After Takeo had managed to get it's foot caught under the door when Sasuke came home from work one morning and broken it, they took their cat to the vet; Naruto practically in tears and refusing to forgive Sasuke for 'murdering' his cat.

The vet had sorted Takeo out, giving the cat's foot a splint and everything(2) before brining Takeo out to see his awaiting 'parents'.

"Mr and Mrs Uchiha?" The vet had called, causing Naruto to blush furiously and Sasuke to cough uncomfortably. They stood together and the vet realised his mistake, apologising profusely. The blonde had, thankfully, forgiven him for the honest mistake. The vet informed them of the good news before chuckling and commenting on their odd choice for a name.

"What do you mean, 'odd'?" Naruto had asked, being the one who had come up with the name in the first place.

"Well, I'm sure she doesn't appreciate having a boy's name!" The vet had laughed.

And that was how they found out that Takeo was, in fact, a girl.

They had tried to change her name, but found that none of them really fit her. Plus, she only seemed to answer to Takeo now. It was 'odd' indeed.

Sasuke stroked her as he placed the bowl back on the floor before picking the cat up herself and placing her next to it. The bell on her collar jingled as she ate. Sasuke smiled.

Takeo had definitely brought the sexy married duo closer to each other, and had driven them further apart at times. It was honestly like having a real child, only without so much responsibility. Sasuke was 100% convinced that Naruto loved the cat more than he loved his freakin' husband.

Sasuke recalled a time once when Naruto had been on call, meaning he stayed in the on-call room at the hospital for the night. He had put Sasuke in charge of looking after Takeo and Sasuke had decided to feed the cat leftovers from his meal. He'd had a nice tuna salad and Takeo had been moaning like she was in heat as she watched Sasuke place the fish into his mouth. It made him very uncomfortable so, to shut her up, he dumped some of it into her cat bowl.

When Naruto had gotten home and seen Takeo being sick, he flipped. It turned out that Takeo didn't get on well with sweet corn, which had been in the dish, and now had a very upset stomach. Sasuke had slept on the couch for a week after that.

"Naruto," He called, sitting down at the kitchen table and trying to gain the attention of his husband "How long 'til dinner?"

Naruto rolled his eyes, turning up the heat under the saucepan until it was just right before turning around to face Sasuke "About 20 minutes,"

"It's fucking soup! It should take, like, 5!" Sasuke complained loudly. He'd grown a lot since they had first met. Sasuke no longer allowed himself to be restrained by not conveying his emotions; he could complain now if he wanted to, and he was sure that no one would mind. And if they did, he'd glare at them until they exploded.

Naruto hit him upside the head "Be patient. I make soup the right way,"

Of course, there were still things that Sasuke, as an Uchiha, simply would never do. Like pout. Which is why he was totally not pouting right now. Naruto giggled.

"Don't worry, baby. It'll taste really good," Naruto said with a bright smile before standing behind Sasuke and wrapping his arms around his shoulders from behind, splaying his hands across the man's chest and tracing circles through his crisp working shirt "and if you're patient, maybe we can do it later…"

Now, sex was a common occurrence in the Uchiha household; but it was very rare that Naruto instigated such acts. It wasn't that Naruto didn't enjoy having sex with his amazingly sexy husband, he just simply preferred being seduced rather than seducing. However, tonight, he felt like doing the seducing. And it seemed like Sasuke was more than happy to comply.

"Oh really, Naruto?" He whispered back huskily, arching forward into Naruto's hands and breathing deeply to stop himself from turning around and humping the blonde into oblivion.

Suddenly, Naruto let go, chuckling when Sasuke let out a short whine of disappointment. The blonde walked over to the pot of soup and turned off the heat, deeming it ready for eating. In reality, it had taken a lot less than 20 minutes; but Naruto had found great pleasure in exploiting Sasuke's newfound emotions. Hearing Sasuke complain was like music, and seeing Sasuke pouting (though the other Uchiha always denied that) was magical.

Naruto poured out two bowls, and brought out some buttered bread, too. The two ate together, talking about their days and occasionally teasing each other; all the while brushing their feet together under the table and holding hands comfortably.

The two men had, at first, found married life incredibly daunting. The proposal had been anything but romantic…

"Hey, Naruto?"

"Yeah, Sasuke?"

"Wanna get married?"

"…yeah. Okay," Grin.

Simple as that. However, after a few months of being engaged, the actual wedding ceremony drew nearer and both of them panicked something awful. Just two years prior to their engagement, Iruka and Kakashi had both finally tied the knot themselves, so both Sasuke and Naruto went to them for advice.

Sasuke had talked to Kakashi, who had told him that being married was just like life now, except money was easier to handle, sex was even better and it appealed to his possessive side when he could call Iruka 'Mrs. Hatake'. That sold Sasuke completely on the matter.

Naruto, however, had gotten his advice from professional worrier and mother hen: Iruka. It had started off well with Iruka explaining how much closer he felt to Kakashi now that they were married and he felt like a part of him he didn't even know was missing had been found. Being a hopeless romantic, Naruto was practically a puddle of mush at that, holding himself back from pulling Iruka into a tight hug. Unfortunately, Iruka had ruined everything by saying "…but, I don't know, it might be different with Sasuke,". That shook Naruto. Of course things would be different because it was with Sasuke. What if marrying the Uchiha would not end happily? Would marriage ruin what they had now? He was 20 years old and had been with Sasuke since he was 16. He had only just managed to complete his Bachelor's degree and still needed to attend four more years of medical school before he could become a certified doctor. Would having Sasuke around all the time stop him from achieving his goal?

When he got home that night, he tried to talk to Sasuke about it, but the Uchiha simply said: "but think of the sex,"

Followed by about 2 hours non-stop of the vigorous act (honestly, did the whole of the Uchiha clan have such an insatiable sex drive?).

Naruto had been about to turn around in their bed, as they were both falling to sleep, and tell Sasuke that he didn't want to get married anymore when Sasuke reached over and pulled him close, kissing his lips softly before saying "Naruto, you are so beautiful. I love you. With all my heart," then the raven fell into a sound sleep, and Naruto could no longer think of anything wrong with getting married.

And so now they sat, across from each other, gazing into each other's eyes with love and admiration. At 27 years old, the pair of them, they had been successfully married for 7 years and madly in love for 11. It was insane. Neither of them had ever thought that, as teenagers, they would still be together even now. They had had their fair share of fights, but they had always reconciled afterwards. Their love was as pure as anyone had ever seen, and was envied by many.

"Sasuke," Naruto purred after he'd put the dirty dishes in the washer and turned it on "Let's go upstairs," he leant his cheek on Sasuke's chest and listened to his heartbeat for a moment, wrapping his arms around the slim waist.

Sasuke chuckled and ran a hand through golden locks "You're sure you don't want to do it here?" Sasuke asked, gesturing to the kitchen as well as taking a round butt cheek into his hand and squeezing it softly.

Naruto had once told Sasuke, whilst blushing profusely, that he would quite like to have sex in the kitchen. It was a small kink of his to use food during sex, and the kitchen was also his favourite place to be, apart from when they were sleeping together, or when he was having a good day at work. Either way, Sasuke had never let that go.

Naruto growled and pulled Sasuke closer, trying to take the control back.

"Alright, let's do it here," he purred in his ear, kissing the lobe gently before tugging it with his teeth. Sasuke's ears were very sensitive, and Naruto had been so giddy when he'd found that out. The Uchiha moaned like a cat in heat, punishing Naruto's giggling with a harsh squeeze to his fairly sore ass. Naruto yelped and scowled at his husband before biting down (and not even a little bit gently) on Sasuke's ear.

"Ow! Dobe! This is terrible foreplay!" Sasuke shouted, leaping away from his lover and cradling his ear with his hand.

"Fine!" Naruto retorted and turned away from the other man, huffing and folding his arms. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sasuke relax, about to come over and hug him from behind: apologise. He smirked as he took advantage of this opening.

Flinging himself (somehow gracefully…he wasn't entirely sure how he managed it either) into the man, he sent them both crashing to the floor, effectively pinning his seme to the ground. With a triumphant grin, Naruto assume the position of straddling his husband, all the while littering his exposed neck with kisses.

Caught entirely by surprise, Sasuke decided that he would just roll with it. He found his hands automatically run down the blonde's sides before cradling and squeezing his ass. Naruto's ass was so perfectly amazing…Sasuke was surprised that no one had ever tried to steal his dobe away.

Of course, Sasuke couldn't see the death glares he sent to anyone who so much as looked at his husband. Naruto, however, did. The blonde pondered on the bastard's possessiveness as he sucked against a pulse point on the man's neck. Sasuke arched into his touch and Naruto felt a surge of power, finding a smirk working on his lips.

"Enough," Sasuke's voice was so low and commanding, and Naruto knew he meant business. One couldn't mess with Sasuke when he was in this state; and Naruto knew that first hand. From this point on, he was at the man's complete mercy.

He climbed off of Sasuke, standing to the side and waiting for his lover to join him in the land of the vertical. Without warning, he found himself pinned to the counter by strong pale arms and lips devouring his own.

Naruto kissed back eagerly, fisting his hands in black hair. He felt hands at the hem of his shirt, but his mind was going numb. That was what Sasuke's kisses did to him. It was like he was drunk; he could no longer think straight, everything was hazy and unclear: except Sasuke.

Somehow, his shirt was removed and he tugged insistently on Sasuke's own when the pale hands began working on his pants – no way was he going to be naked on his own…not again!

Sasuke stepped back, allowing Naruto to pull the troublesome shirt off of a perfectly sculpted torso. Naruto watched the skin go taught as Sasuke breathed heavily.

"Touch me," Sasuke's voice was sin. But Naruto was not going to complain. Sin, he'd come to learn, could sometimes be a good thing: a very, very good thing.

Naruto ran his hands across the planes of perfectly pale flesh, marvelling in the fact that their skin tones contrasted so greatly. It was like the glorious pale of porcelain against his smooth caramel brown. He stopped at two dark nipples expertly rolling them between his fingers, and loving the soft noises his lover made. Deciding he needed a taste, Naruto took one into his mouth whilst tweaking the other one with his hand.

Sasuke groaned and arched into Naruto's touch. Normally, he wasn't keen on acting so weak; but tonight was an exception. He felt hands on his trousers, pulling them down to his ankles. Sasuke stepped out of them, now standing only in his boxers. It was time to take the control back.

Having unbuttoned Naruto's jeans mere minutes before, Sasuke found it very easy to discard them, along with the blonde's boxers, in one sweeping movement. Naruto stood there, completely naked, panting, with a lust-filled look in his eye. It drove Sasuke insane.

Ripping off his own boxers, Sasuke pinned the blonde against the counter and pushed himself flush against him. As he moved his hips against Naruto, he felt an incredible surge of pleasure originating from where their hips met.

Naruto let out a long moan, glad to finally be able to touch Sasuke like this. He loved it.

"S-Sasu-AH!" At a particularly hard thrust against him, Naruto was unable to contain himself and voiced it in the most wanton and sexy way imaginable. The sound went straight to Sasuke's cock.

"Bend over. Right now," Sasuke turned Naruto around and gently pushed him so that he had a nice view of Naruto's ass. Now, seeing as the two had an avid sex life, they made sure to keep lube close at hand, should such a situation similar to the one they were currently in, occurred.

Or, in other words, Sasuke pulled out some lube from the top draw, earning himself a disbelieving look from his lover.

Sasuke rolled his eyes before he coated his hand with the lube thoroughly. Slowly, he inserted one finger into Naruto's ass and began thrusting it in and out.

Naruto, ever the impatient, gladly met each finger thrust with a roll of his hips, hoping his lover would find that spot within him he loved so much.

"M-More," he whimpered as Sasuke suddenly plunged in another finger and began a scissoring motion. Sasuke closed his eyes and bit his lip to stop from moaning as he felt the tight heat enclosing his fingers. No matter how many times they made love, Naruto never seemed to get any looser; he was just as he had been all those years ago.

"Do you want more, Naruto?" Sasuke whispered huskily as he searched for Naruto's prostate. Being a doctor, Naruto had once tried to give Sasuke directions, but the Uchiha had taken that as a hit to his pride and refused to touch Naruto for weeks. It had been hard for both of them.

"Y-Yes! More, please!" Sasuke found Naruto's prostate at that moment, causing the blonde's back to arch and his cock to leak profusely.

"Hn," Sasuke smirked and took out his fingers, finding Naruto's whine quite amusing "What do you want, Naruto?" He spoke quietly, his voice low and husky, into the blonde's ear "Tell me what you want,"

"Ah," Naruto panted heavily, still trying to get over that wave of absolute pleasure "F-Fu-Fuck me, Sasu, please," Naruto moaned and Sasuke could take no more.

With one mighty thrust, he buried himself to the hilt into Naruto's tight velvety passage. He groaned as Naruto clenched and unclenched around him, trying to accommodate to the intrusion. After a full minute, Sasuke found he couldn't wait any longer and thrust shallowly, letting Naruto know he had to move now.

At receiving no protest, he began to thrust harder. Soon, he was pounding his lover into the counter, brutally abusing the blonde's prostate with each unforgiving thrust.

"Ah! Sasu! Faster!" Naruto turned into such a little slut when he was being fucked, and Sasuke loved that. He complied with Naruto's demand and worked faster, reaching between Naruto's legs and pumping his cock in time with each well-aimed thrust.

Naruto was the first to lose it. He gripped the counter and screamed Sasuke's name as he came hard. Some of it landed on the floor, which he would make Sasuke clean up later, and the rest was on Sasuke's hand.

Sasuke followed soon after gritting his teeth and mumbling Naruto's name before he kissed a tan shoulder, emptying himself inside of his lover.

The two were a panting mess, leaning against the kitchen counter.

Sasuke pulled out, and Naruto winced at the odd sensation. The raven wrapped his arms around the blonde and picked him up, receiving no complaint, as he carried him upstairs. He sat the blonde into the bathtub and washed him down before washing himself. Once clean, he brought the blonde out of the tub and dried them both with a fluffy orange towel.

Next, he carried Naruto to their bed and carelessly dumped the blonde onto the springy mattress.

"GAH! What the FUCK teme! You were being so nice before!"

"Shut the hell up and go to sleep,"

"YOU CAN'T ACT LIKE A BITCH AFTER SEX, IT'S NOT NICE!"

"I think I just told you to shut the hell up; so why is it getting louder?"

"TEME! I AT LEAST WANT TO FUCKING CUDDLE YOU PRICK!"

"That's what pillows are for,"

"…you know, sometimes I feel like you don't…really…love me…"

"…for fucks sake. Come here,"

"Tehe, love you teme. Goodnight," Kiss.

"Love you too dobe,"

"…fuckin' prick,"

Somewhere within the depths of Naruto's mind…

"Kit hasn't talked to us for a while now…" Kyuubi said with a frown, looking to his brother for comfort.

"Well, he's found the person he loves more than anyone, now. We should be happy for him, Kyuubi," Kyu replied with a kind smile.

"Wipe that smile off of your face," Kyuubi growled, but Kyu kept it up "I know you miss him too, so quit pretending," Kyu dropped the act.

"I do miss him, really, I do," Kyu said, his smile sad and his eyes refusing to focus on his brother "…but I'm glad he's happy now."

"You're right. He's never smiled so much before,"

"…we should leave now…shouldn't we?"

"…yeah,"

"…he…doesn't need us any more,"

"…yeah,"

The foxes shared a look, each of them filled with utmost grief at the thought of leaving the boy they almost considered a son. But, really, they were no longer needed. They were placed within the child, to assure he was as happy as he could be, and would remain there until the child had grown to be truly happy.

Their job was done.

"I'll miss him…" Kyu allowed a single tear to fall from his eye.

"We'll see him again, brother. In the next life,"

"Yeah," Kyu smiled, enveloping his brother with his nine tails in a large embrace "…we sure will,"

And with that, Kyu and Kyuubi were gone.

Good god. I just couldn't think of an ending for this one…

I tried SO hard to make it not-cheesy! But then I thought: OH NO! I haven't said anything about Kyu and Kyuubi! So….the cheese was born –sadface-

Anyway, I'm sorry for my terrible updating skills! Not only have I been uninspired to write lately, but I've begun 6th form (which is REALLY difficult! I had NO idea!) AND I've had to manually fix my own internet.

And by fix my own internet, I mean I took the wireless router apart with a screw driver and then put it back together again and now it only works for about 10 minutes at a time.

I WANT TO WATCH ANIME, DAMMIT!

Still, I'd really appreciate it if you'd drop me a line (…REVIEW) because I really miss hearing from you all! Also, if you want a say in my next story, there is a poll on my profile that I'd really like you to do! Only 7 people have done it so far and, frankly, that's a little embarrassing…

Thank you so much for reading KAMS: my first FULL and AWESOME story.

I hope that it rains hot gay guys where you are. You deserve it!
