Dominick-chan: W0W! So many lines! XD Whoops! So, this is new! Don't hurt me! I'm still looking for inspiration for TLMB. Sadly, my muse has ran away! :( We don't know why, but we can't find him anywheres!
SUMMERY: Uchiha, Itachi and Uzumaki, Naruto have a child together. Her name is Aiden. Growing up without a father for the last five years of her life never bothered her, but she could tell when her mother was hurting because of it. Yet, he's never really left them alone. Always in the shadows, watching over and protecting them within the best of his abilities as a missing nin.

CHAPTER I:
Uzumaki, Aiden ran through the village of Konohagakure, dodging the various items that were being thrown at her. As she was running, her left ankle rolled in and she fell to her knees. Before she could scramble back up, she was kicked in the face and stomach. Blood pulsed from her temple and she spit the thick liquid onto the ground. Without a second thought, she got to her feet and sped off home. The citizens began to slow and eventually stopped, allowing her to get further away. Aiden breathed a sigh of relief when she was no longer being chased and caught her breath before walking inside the apartment she and her mother shared. Quietly opening the door, she looked around for said parent. Not seeing him anywhere, she took off her shoes and shut the door as quietly as she opened it. Making her way to the bathroom to clean herself up before hr mother saw her, Aiden grimaced at her reflection.
Her long raven black hair was now tangly and her pale skin was dirty. Her dark slate coloured eyes were bright, but hid an undertone of deep sadness beneath the happiness; two russet coloured ears and matching tail swiveled and swished with every sound around her. Washing her face, and cleaning the cuts on her flesh, she grabbed her brush and began to de-tangle her hair. After many pain-filled minutes, it finally hung in straight waves around her face and she licked her chapped lips. Opening the bathroom door, she padded to the room she and her mother shared. Going to her chest of draws, she pulled out a red Chinese style blouse with thick black trim and matching pants.
Stripping from her dirty dark blue one, she threw it into the hamper and donned the red one. Stretching, Aiden made her way to the living room couch, where her mother was sleeping. He was truly a very beautiful boy, what with his sun-kissed dandelion hair, cerulean eyes, black whisker marks upon his lightly tanned cheeks and toned body. . . Sighing, she crawled atop his lap and pressed her ear against his chest as she lie on his stomach, listening to his thrumming heartbeat. Nuzzling into his chest, she jumped when his hand caressed her side lovingly. He sighed in his sleep and a small smile graced his lips. "Mmm. . . Itachi. . ." Aiden cocked her head to the side at the name, and when his face had become sad and he'd started to whimper, she nuzzled her head beneath his chin and licked his cheek. "Mama, wake up!" His blue eyes opened, staring into her slate ones and he smiled.
"Hi, baby. Did you have a nice day today?" She didn't have the heart to tell him what had happened, so she only nodded. "It was okay. What about you?" He too, nodded and poked her nose with his index finger. "Proly just as good!" She smiled and laid her head back on his chest. "Mama?" His fingers raked gently through her long black hair. "Mm-hmm?" Aiden leaned into his touch. "Who's Ita - Ita - that name you said in your sleep?" His fingers stilled for a moment before continuing their soothing movements. "No one you need to worry about, baby." She sighed and let the matter drop, allowing it to become silent a few minutes before she spoke up again. "Can we move?" The blond beneath her lifted his head from the arm of the couch and stared at her. "What?" She rolled her eyes. "Can we go visit Panda-chan, then? Just to get away?" Her mother raised a brow. "What brought this on all of a sudden?"
She shook her head. "Nothing! I just thought that, maybe, we could go and see Panda-chan. Maybe that would make you happy." She felt him chuckle beneath her and wrap his arms about her. "I am happy, baby! What gave you the thought I wasn't?" Aiden sighed. "You cry in your sleep a lot. . . And you say that name, too." He squeezed her tight and nuzzled the top of her head. "I'm sorry, love. . ." She shook her head again. "It's okay, mama." The blond sighed and sat up with her in his lap. "You're too quick for a five year old! C'mon! Let's go talk to Tsunade-baa-chan about a trip to Suna." Leaping from her mother's legs, Aiden smiled and helped him from the couch. Giving a stretch, he raised a brow. "Weren't you wearing blue, earlier?"
She gave a sheepish grin. "I got really dirty today!" Smiling, he shook his head and they both went to put their shoes on. With the door locked and her tiny hand in his, they took off towards the Hokage Tower.
The two Uzumaki's came upon a sleeping blond female in the Hokage's room. The boy shook her away and giggled when she tried to shoo him away. "Rise and shine, baa-chan!" Toffee brown eyes opened at half mast and stared at the blond boy before her. "Go 'way, Naruto!" Her head dropped back down on the desk, only to lift up seconds later. "Naruto!" The busty blond pulled him into a bone-crushing hug. "Ah! Can't - breathe!" Letting him go, she punched his shoulder. "Why don't you come visit, chibi?" He mock glared at her. "Hey! I'm not small! I'm just fun-sized!" Tsunade laughed and sighed. "Where's the gaki?" Naruto smiled and pulled her out from behind his legs. "You remember Tsunade, don't you Aiden?"
The tall blond kneeled down and smiled at her. "You've grown quite a bit since I last saw you! Just think! In a couple of years, you'll be as tall as your mama!" Aiden smiled and her tail wagged. Tsunade winked at her and stood. "So, Baa-chan, we were wondering if we could go and visit Gaara-chan down in Suna!" She thought a moment. "Hmm. . . This could work out quite perfectly! I have some important documents and papers I need to have delivered to the Kazekage soon. Would you mind doing the job?" Both Naruto and Aiden smiled. "Sweet! When do we leave?" Tsunade chuckled. "Early tomorrow morning. I'll grant you a few days vacation as well." The blond hugged the Godaime and whispered a 'Thank you' in her ear. She nodded and waved goodbye to them as they left.
Naruto sat Aiden upon one of the large red bar-stools and smiled. "Hey, Teuchi! One Miso and one Chicken ramen, please!" Teuchi smiled and gave a nod. "Coming right up, Naruto!" The blond sat beside his daughter and watched her from the corner of his eyes. She was swinging her legs and bouncing in her seat, whilst waiting for her ramen. When a slight breeze blew her hair back, he froze. For a split second, she was the striking image of - . He shook his head. 'I won't finish that thought.' Ayame smiled and sat the two large bowls before them. "Enjoy!" Smiling, they began to dig in to their food.
After about five bowls between the two, Naruto paid and helped Aiden down from the stool. Taking her hand once again, he lead her home. As they walked inside and took their shoes off, he picked her up and gave her an Eskimo kiss. "Bedtime!" Giving a yawn, she nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. "M'kay, mama. . ." When her eyes closed, he gave a low chuckle and took her to their bed. Grabbing a pair of pj's, he undressed her and slipped the thin nightgown over her head, gently pulling her arms through the straps. Sitting behind her, he pulled her hair into a tight french braid and lay her on the bed. Pulling the covers out from under her, he covered her up and kissed and her temple.
"Sweet dreams, baby." Aiden yawned and her eyes her eyes opened halfway. "Don't cry tonight, m'kay, mama? I'll protect you. . ." A light snoring signified that she was asleep and he gave her a sweet smile. "All right, Aiden. I'll let you protect me. . ." Grabbing a large bag, he began to fill it with clothes, a first aid kit, toiletries, combs and brushes, hair ties, and toothbrushes. Pulling out a scroll, he sealed the bag away, rolled up the scroll, and placed it next to his hitai-ate. Stripping down to his boxers, he turned out the lights, locked the front door, and crawled into bed beside his kit. Pulling Aiden to his chest, he sighed and allowed a few tears to escape his cerulean eyes. "I only wish I could give you more, love. . ." Naruto allowed his eyes to drift closed and sleep to claim him, never once noticing the spinning red eyes that had watched them that day.
Once sure both occupants on the bed were sound asleep, the owner of said eyes crawled through the window and into the tiny bedroom. Moonlight faintly illuminated the room, revealing the black silhouette. Pale skin, raven hair and lines of exhaustion revolved around the once spinning red eyes, which had faded and now were a dark obsidian. A black cloak with a red cloud pattern upon it parted, revealing a taut body clothed in black ninja pants and a black tee with fishnet beneath it. Brushing a few blond hairs from the whiskered boy's forehead, he kissed his lips. Unconsciously, Naruto deepened the kiss and moaned when he pulled away. The dark male gave a soft smile and went round to the other side of their bed. Kneeling, he placed his hand slightly before the five year old's nose.
She gave a deep breath and a low rumbling sounded in the back of her throat. Her dark slate eyes opened with a flutter and she looked into the man's face. "Daddy?" He gave a nod and placed a finger to his lips. "Let's not wake mommy, okay?" She nodded and lay her head back down on the pillow. He ran his nails along her scalp and hummed low in his throat. Her eyes slid closed once more and her ears dropped, signaling her deep sleep. He sat there for a few minutes more, before kissing her temple and going back to the blond. Carefully sitting on the bed, he let his long fingers dance along the boy's bicep. Sighing, he stood and kissed the blond one last time before leaving out the window.
Cerulean eyes opened and looked about the dark room. "Itachi?" Blinking, he shook his head and looked down at Aiden. 'She hasn't slept this good in a long time!' Yawning, he lay back down and fell asleep once more.
Dominick-chan: Whoo! Another story! XD This one was actually written before TLMB was even thought about, so forgive me if this was weighing on my mind more than the other chapter for my Kyuu/Naru thing. lol I'm functioning on no sleep for the past 24 hours, so if there's any mistakes, I tried to spot them! Just wish y'all to know!
