I’m am really working on this one, but I’m doing it out of order, so that’s why updates are taking some time.
----------

The next morning Sasuke sought out Karin. He explained his plan to marry her with the main intention of reviving his clan and that he was not going to break off his relationship with Shikamaru, even for a wife. Sasuke respected her and loved her to an extent. Luckily she and Shikamaru got along and worked well together. As Sasuke had thought, they were both pragmatic enough to agree with his plan and Karin agreed to marry him.

As with everything in Sasuke’s life, the marriage was quiet and conducted in the Uchiha shrine where his bride had helped him sacrifice Madara’s head and blood.

Sasuke and Karin wore traditional kimonos emblazoned with the Uchiha crest on their backs. Her uchikake kimono matched her hair and the color of her new husband’s Sharingan with the black tomoe incorporated in the flower designs. The design was testament to the skill and speed of Konoha seamstresses, having only twenty-four hours to create.

At the reception, Sasuke followed every tradition, even the wedding cake, though he ate as little as possible because of his hatred of anything sweet, even suffered speeches and performances by his followers, and went to the trouble to light candles around the room and greet every guest, few as they may be, even his former enemies.

Naruto did not attend, but Itachi came with Hidan. Sasuke couldn’t help narrowing his eyes at them as Itachi smiled at him. Sasuke felt a shiver of foreboding run down his spine.

Shikamaru was the only person to witness the actual ceremony, being the only family either of them had besides Itachi. He sincerely wished them well; he knew his place: he was first in Sasuke’s affections. He stayed at the modest reception, which with Choji, Suigetsu, and Kiba turned into a wild party as soon as the ever sober Sasuke left. They didn’t even let Itachi’s presence keep them from having a good time. Shikamaru was too laid back to participate, but he kept his eye on Itachi.

Itachi was wise enough to keep his Sharingan deactivated while in the village, but Shikamaru could never trust that man. Itachi seemed too preoccupied by Hidan to cause any trouble anyway.

Kakashi let himself unwind, happy that his entire team was safely home in Konoha for the first time in five years. And all three were married in the last few days. Though he did not approve of Itachi or trust the man, he thought he might teach Naruto a thing or two about being a shrewd and mature leader; Itachi had been the second in command of Akatsuki for over ten years.

Suigetsu would have predicted Sasuke would have chosen Jugo as a lover before Karin or Shikamaru, but they were closer to brothers than lovers. Suigetsu would be forced to admit, if anyone actually bothered to ask, that he felt left out of Sasuke’s family, but he would stay close to Sasuke as his lieutenant.

Neji and Sakura wore their wedding clothes again for this celebration. Neji looked dashing wearing his long hair in an elegantly tied topknot and a black montsuki, haori, and hakama. Sakura wore her white kimono and an uchikake kimono over it covered with her namesake. In the absence of the bride and groom, they were the most stunning pair in attendance.

After few more drinks to Lee’s memory, the last of the revelers either dropped or were hauled home by friends or family. Itachi let Hidan lead him off, only then did Shikamaru leave to stay with his best friend Choji for the night. As apathetic he felt about Sasuke and Karin at this point, he didn’t need to be around on their wedding night.

Before Shikamaru confessed his feelings for Sasuke, Sasuke had considered himself straight. All the souls of Konoha knew he could have been the center of the largest gay orgy in history in Orochimaru’s lair, but he, threateningly, declined. Karin had been his first choice for reinstating his clan from the day he met her: she wasn’t hard on the eyes, she was pragmatic in all things but her feelings for him, was strong, loyal, and he believed her talents and Kekkei Genkai would be a valuable addition to his clan. And since she helped him on his quest to destroy Akatsuki, he grew more and more fond of her. That is, when she wasn’t badgering Suigetsu. At least Karin had stopped yelling at him quite so much.

Karin was surprised at how affectionate Sasuke could be. He was actually smiling at her when they were alone. It wasn’t a wide smile, but it was more than she was used to from him. He gently helped her with her kimonos and the combs and decorations in her hair. He somehow made the simple, mundane, even annoying, task of removing all these ceremonial accoutrements romantic. It was his smile, sad as it may be, and his patient manner.

Down to a slip, she help him removed his silk kimonos. She could not hide a blush as he stood before her wearing only a fundoshi. He took her glasses off her face and kissed her. Besides with he and Shikamaru, neither of them had ever had sex. Her tough, irritable attitude evaporated.

As their kiss deepened, Sasuke lightly pushed the shoulders of her slip off her shoulder, letting the garment fall. Knowing Karin probably didn’t know how to unwrap his fundoshi, Sasuke did it for her. If anyone needed proof he was bi, they had it. Karin moaned into the kiss when she felt his hard length press into her thigh and her breasts grazed his smooth chest.

His kunai calloused hands caressed her back and hips while she held her hands between them, wanting as much to push him away as pull him closer.

Sasuke took one of her offending hands and, disengaging the kiss, brought her hand to his mouth and kissed the hollow of her palm, which set her at ease and excited her. His tongue traced unintelligible kanji on her palm then moved to her delicate wrist where he could feel her pulse.

Watching his face was even more of a turn on than his actions. Sasuke’s eyes were shut and his face was relaxed. Karin wanted to savor that image, but as he ran his teeth gently over that delicate skin, her eyes were forced shut. She opened her eyes when he stopped. He was looking at her with expectation and patience. She didn’t want to say anything, not even sure she could force a word through her tight throat. But he could see her expression in the moonlight. He pulled her to the bed and lay her down on her back.

Karin’s blush nearly matched her hair as he joined her. Sasuke kissed her and she ran her hands through his raven hair. Propping himself up on his knees and on hand, he let his other hand drift down her body with feather light caresses then back up to her breast. Sasuke broke off the kiss to suck at her nipple, her hands never leaving his hair.

After bringing her to moaning cacophony, Sasuke slipped further down, lapping at her taught skin and then dipping her tongue into her navel, a preview of things to come.

He skipped to her thighs and rubbed his face against her smooth inner thighs, his mouth tantalizingly close to her loins and his breath teasing her. He moved up and stuck his tongue between her lips. She gasped. She was positively dripping with anticipation. Sasuke lapped up some of her juices then sucked at her labia. Then he pressed his tongue in as deep as he could.

Karin cried out when Sasuke turned his attention to her clit, licking up it as he would Shikamaru’s cock and teasing the tip. He sucked at her until he orgasmed, squirting her juices onto his face. She tasted much sweeter than Shikamaru, but that meant little to Sasuke who hated sweetness.

Sasuke crawled up her body and kissed her as he positioned himself at her virgin entrance. He eased into her gently until he hit an obstruction. He had to smile at the fact she lived so long in Orochimaru’s Northern Hideout wearing those short shorts and showing off her navel and she was still a virgin. It said a lot for how formidable she really was in battle.

Just like he did with Shikamaru the first time, he tried to distract her with his kiss when he penetrated her. She moaned in pain. He didn’t move, but kept kissing her. After a minute, he continued to press into her. He waited when their hips met, waiting for her signal to continue. She bucked her hips up, demanding he move. He obliged her.

It didn’t take long for him to find her sweet spot. Seeing her lose it and orgasm around him let Sasuke cum deep inside her.

Afterward, Karin curled up next to him and dozed.
