A pleasant surprise

Pairing: Naruto X Gaara X Sasuke

Summary: Naruto and Gaara are happy together in Suna when out of nowhere, Sasuke returns with some unusual news.

Scroll 01

Ever since Naruto and Gaara found out about their feelings for each other, they've been closer than ever. Naruto even moved to Suna where he was promoted to ANBU. In fact, he was the ANBU in charge of Gaara's personal safety, directly under the Kazekage (not in that way you perverts!). More than one ANBU had to answer to him now, and Naruto loved the feel of being in charge, in many ways.

It was a sunny day in mid-July when Temari barged into Gaara's office without knocking, out of breath and pink in the face from running. The redhead looked faintly surprised at her antics, especially considering that she was the most composed of his siblings.

"Yes?" he asked.

Naruto looked up from under his fox mask and listened as Temari explained.

"Someone's been spotted outside the village gates. He's a missing-nin and wanted by the council of Konoha for his betrayal...also, he's requesting to see Naruto."

Naruto was only dimly aware of the look on Gaara's face. Gaara looked slightly more surprised than earlier.

"Who is it?" he asked.

Temari looked at Naruto and said,

"I'd rather not say...especially in present company."

Naruto's brow furrowed as he looked at her and his head turned toward Gaara as the Kazekage stood up and walked toward Temari. She whispered something in Gaara's ear and Gaara's eyes widened a fraction of an inch before he turned towards Naruto and said,

"Stay here. This won't take long."

Naruto took a step forward and asked,

"Who is it?"

Gaara looked at him, slightly annoyed and said,

"None of your concern."

"Are they a threat to you?" Naruto persisted.

"No, but they are a threat to you," Gaara said.

Naruto took offence to that and said,

"Hey! I'm the top ranking ANBU! If he's a threat then..."

"Naruto!"

Naruto quieted and watched as Gaara spoke.

"Stay here. I'll be right back."

Naruto took a few more steps forward and Gaara physically pushed him back so that the blond was leaning against the wall.

"You will not second guess my judgment," the Kazekage said, anger only slight in his tone.

Naruto wanted to argue back, but he folded his arms and stayed leaning against the wall.

"Yes, Kazekage-sama."

Gaara knew that Naruto was being purposefully spiteful in his tone of voice, but the person waiting at the gates was indeed a threat to the redhead's lover and he had to be dealt with accordingly.

The redhead grabbed his hat as he left the room, closing the door with a little more force than was necessary. He and Temari used their teleportation justu to get to the front gate where a familiar spiky haired raven was standing, his arms inside his kimono folded over his stomach.

"Kazekage-sama," he said, bowing respectfully.

"What do you want?" Gaara said impatiently.

Sasuke straightened and said,

"There is something of dire importance that I need to speak with Naruto about."

"Why don't you tell me and I can tell him…that way he can decide if he wants to see you," Gaara said.

"I'm sorry, but it's only meant for his ears as it concerns him," Sasuke said as respectfully as possible.

Gaara couldn't see what concerned Naruto that he himself couldn't hear…he was the Kazekage after all.

"Very well, but you will be under close supervision, so it is likely that I'll hear you anyway," Gaara said, feeling it was at least fair to warn him.

"I understand."

The walk back up to Gaara's office was quiet and the redhead could feel Naruto's anger radiating off of him in waves even through the closed door.

"In here," Gaara said to their captive, opening the door and stepping through the threshold.

As soon as Sasuke entered the room, Naruto felt his breath steal away. He took his mask off and looked Sasuke over, noticing how he kept his arms protectively over his abdomen and how stiffly he was standing.

"Sasuke? What are you doing here?" he asked.

The raven looked uneasily at Gaara but continued talking to Naruto, looking back at the blue eyes that he had come to miss.

"I have something important to tell you," he said.

He took a deep breath as Naruto made a confused face. He opened his mouth to speak, but a throbbing pain in his head stopped him. He brought his hand to his temple and pressed against it, trying to get the pain to leave.

Naruto stepped forward and asked,

"You okay?"

Sasuke nodded, even though it was plain that he wasn't, and looked back up at Naruto. Their eyes locked and Sasuke flushed a pretty pink. He remembered seeing those eyes filled with concern when they got their first out of the village mission fighting that ice boy and the Jounin with the killer aura.

He shook his head to clear the memory of that almost fatal mission and said,

"I need to tell you this."

Sasuke was no longer aware of the two other sets of eyes on him. All that mattered was getting this information to Naruto before he passed out from the pain.

"In my fight with Orochimaru, he implanted your DNA inside of me…don't ask me how he got it because I don't know…and now I'm pregnant."

Naruto's eyes widened a fraction of an inch and he looked down at Sasuke's kimono. He unzipped it all the way down and saw that his abdomen wasn't flat anymore. It had formed a little hill and he betted that it was firm to the touch.

"That's why you kept your arms over your stomach…you were protecting the baby…"

Sasuke nodded as the room began to spin and he fell to his knees. The last thing he heard was Naruto's voice calling his name as he passed out from sheer pain and exhaustion.
