Broken

Chapter 42: Livin' Our Love Song

Prane walked out into the cooling dusk that made her sigh out in content. Curling her toes, she strolled off the deck she's been meaning to expand but hasn't had the time. School and her job took most of her time but luckily she was able to get a vacation week scheduled, so she could be with her foreign friend.

"What's on your mind? Don't try to lie out of it because I recognize that look you get." Zenda said as she stepped out of the old farmhouse they were fixing up. Well since Prane's parents were.

"Naruto, Sasuke, and Itachi. They seemed like a perfect couple when I saw them; they seemed to be the one couple that would be together forever. What happened?" The brunette questioned as she looked over at her lover who was coming down the deck's steps.

"You thought the same thing with what's her name and look now. You have me." The blond said the truth with a smile. "At least he has someone and you have me." Zenda took a hold of Prane's waist, hugging it tightly as she buried her face into the shoulder. Kissing it, she listened to her friend's giggling and smiled a little more.

"True." She agreed and heard the door open once more. Looking over her shoulder, she saw the older Uchiha that was related to Sasuke walk out into the beams of the setting sun. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes. Thank you for letting us stay here while we visit." Itachi said with a bow. He'll ask later to go into town to pick up the ring since they called while he was sleeping. It surprised the Uchiha but surprises were coming into his life now.

"So what happened to you?" Prane asked as she watched the dark-eyed man as he strolled over to the railing and leaned against it.

"That depends on how I can take that question. Well I was stabbed by my estranged uncle if that's why you wonder why I look tired." Itachi answered, being a little of a smart ass toward his hostess.

"Sasuke never told me any of this but then again, he only told me he couldn't be near you guys." She explained with a smile, leaning against the woman she planned on marrying one of these days. She was the uke of the relationship but they never said the woman of the relationship can propose. "All I ask of you is that you treat Naruto with respect since he's carrying your child."

"I'm sure he will Rane." Zenda butted in as she nuzzled into the neck of the woman. Looking over at the man, she watched him for anything else.

"She's right. Why would I mistreat anyone?" Itachi asked before getting a little serious. "Can anyone take me into town?"

They perked up but the verde eyed woman nodded and got out of her lover's embrace to get the keys to the car. She could hear Naruto's snoring so she knew her friend was still fast asleep. "Sleep tight Kitsune."

It was an old nickname she gave him because of Kyuubi and his grins when he thought of something evil. It fit him well to her. It was also her own little nickname that no one else called him.

Naruto finally stirred, finding nothing of his Uchiha once his gaze was cleaned from sleep. Sitting up, he stared at the bags they dropped onto the floor and collapsed onto the bed. Itachi had to be getting a tour and getting to know Prane better. That had to be it.

When he walked out of the room he was in and into what looked to be the living room, he spotted someone. Zenda or at least that had to be her name was on the couch with her arm acting as her pillow, watching a commercial for a product that probably didn't work.

"Itachi went into town with Prane. They should be back shortly." Zenda butted out as she watched the blond from the corner of her eye. "You can sit down you know?"

Nodding, Naruto sat down on a stool, watching the television for anything interesting. It was a science fiction movie on the channel for the genre. Putting his hand on his stomach, he wondered how his child was doing inside him.
