Konoha Empire Chronicles: Sunrise
Chapter 2
The Big Taboo
At the party….
"Hello everyone, me and my wife would like to thank you for coming to the Konoha anniversary ball" Neji spoke loud enough for the entire room of people to hear him "Please, enjoy yourselves tonight".
They were in the ballroom, it like all the other rooms were beautiful. Everybody were wearing their finest kimonos and just having a pleasant time.
At the table where the royal family was sitting, Naruto had strolled over to his brother-in-law for Naruto had married t Emperor Neji's close cousin, Hinata and they had a daughter named Uzumaki Mao, she had short, blonde hair, Hyuga eyes and a wild personality like the Inuzuka kids, but she tried to act proper.
Ama was sitting with Ryoichi just talking, occasionally kissing him on the cheek. It was later in the party and towards the falling action.
"Hey, let's go to my room, we can talk more privately" Ama suggested a little light headed, she had drank a bit of the wine, but she knew she shouldn't have any, she can't think straight when she does.
"Kay, baby" he always called her baby, it was his name for her, she was just so cute to him.
In her room…
"So what did you want to talk about" Ryoichi asked as Ama walked up to him.
"I don't want to talk about anything" she had that seductive look in her eye, man, that wine had really hit her. Truth be told, he had some too that night.
In a couple minutes they were sitting on her bed making out.
The next morning…
Ama woke up to be sleeping on her side. With the heavenly sheets covering her bust on down, her shoulders exposed to the morning light. Her lush phoenix head of hair wrapped around her somewhat. Wow. Two mornings in a row. This was her lucky week. She felt heavenly.
There was just one catch.
Somebody was next to her.
Ryoichi wrapped his arms around Ama and kissed her neck lightly, enjoying the milky feeling of her shoulders.
"I got to get dressed now, but I'll stay right here a minute longer" he said lovingly and still in a wonderful daze.
She let him kiss her bare neck and breath in her scent for the next minute then started falling back to sleep as she heard him get dressed and leave swiftly.
Wait a second.
It was alright that he was sleeping next to her.
But why was he getting dressed?
Then it hit her.
He had been naked. As she was now under the sheets.
Her eyes snapped opened, she shot up from the bed and got dressed. Ama scurried down to breakfast, so not to raise suspicion, besides, she was unusually hungry.
That morning Ama ate a lot. Her family just stared like her; she still ate politely, but four plates, c'mon! Something must be up!
"Um? Hon are you okay? I mean you ate dinner at the party right?" Neji asked his eldest daughter.
"Speaking of the party, you and Ryoichi disappeared" Tenten started while feeding Katsu and Toshi " so we all just assumed you let Ryoichi sleep over as usual in one of the guest rooms, where is he anyways? He should have breakfast" Ama's hand froze for a second and then unfroze a second later "Oh yeah! Ummm… he had to leave early important business" Ama covered somewhat smoothly.
Her father had a feeling, but brushed it off.
A couple days later…
Ama had been feeling a little sluggish in the past few days and didn't know why.
She also felt hungrier more often than usual and she ate the strangest things, such as chocolate covered seaweed, the very thought made her parents cringe, but to her, it was strangely satisfying.
Not only that, but she had been somewhat cranky and working her maids like dogs, not cruelly, but still.
At the moment she was heading to the medical quarters in the palace, to see Lady Tsunade, the great medical woman and gambling fool and fool was right. But we won't let her know that okay? Okay.
Ama knocked on the door of the medical room it had many books as well as the right supplies.
"Yes, Ama, is there anything you need?" Tsunade was an old friend of the family; she helped her mother give birth to all her children of course with Lady Sakura, wife to the head of the Uchiha household and Tsunade's assistant, Shizune.
"I need a pregnancy test" Ama said firmly, but a tad shy
"A pregnancy test!? Why would you need such a thing?" Tsunade asked shocked by the Princess' request.
" Please, these reasons are personal, but you can tell no one of this, not even my parents" Tsunade opened her mouth to protest, but Ama cut in sharply " that's an order-- neigh a command" Ama was definitely serious about this.
Tsunade sighed "alright" after some tests, Tsunade came out and showed her the results.
Oh, god.
She was pregnant.
And she was positive the baby's father was Ryoichi.
"I'm pregnant! How am I going to tell this to my parents?" Ama asked distressed, Tsunade looked at her sympathetically and placed a hand on her shoulder "I don't know, but I won't tell anybody as promised, hang in there" Tsunade reassured
Too bad her sister, Uzume, was right outside the hall, and let's just say Uzume has very good hearing. Did I mention she was also on her way to see her parents?
