With Christmas things got kind of busy but here is the next chapter anyway and the fifth one is already being written. Thanks so much again and I hope you enjoy this chapter!
As the group continued their journey through the woods Sasuke made sure to keep his distance from the blonde he was furious at. It had been four weeks—a month. Since Naruto confessed to what he had planned and Sasuke hadn't spoken a word to him since. He could barely even look at the blonde without wanting to yell at him. The idiot should have had the sense to talk this over with him before he decided to go through with it. He quickly glanced down at his stomach, maybe it hadn't worked this time. There was no guarantee that after one night of sex he would get pregnant. He didn't want to be pregnant, it was unnatural and he hated Orochimaru for what he had done to him. Luckily he had killed the slimy bastard when he had the chance.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked from beside him, catching the dark haired teen glancing at his stomach. He wondered if the teen was feeling sick, meaning a pregnancy was beginning to manifest.
Sasuke glanced at him but didn't say anything. The blonde was only concerned because he thought Sasuke was getting morning sickness or something. Sasuke wondered if Naruto really cared for him at all or was it just the prospect of protecting a baby he may or may not be carrying.
Silence fell between them again the only sounds being heard were the crunching of leaves underneath their feet and the occasional bird.
"Sasuke—I'm sorry for doing this to you. I just—I needed a way to save you from getting executed, I love you and I know you would have done something crazy to save me too." Naruto said hoping the Uchiha would take his words to heart and forgive him. At this point he half wished Sasuke wasn't pregnant so they could put this behind them and try something else to save him.
Sasuke ignored the blonde's gaze and stared at anything but him. He knew Naruto had pulled this crazy stunt in an attempt to save him, but if he was going to be killed a baby wasn't going to stop that. He had committed so many crimes that he doubted they would consider the law that protected pregnant female criminals. There was also the fact that the elders wouldn't want the spawn of the nine tailed fox and an S-ranked criminal running around.
Silence fell between them once again. Both teens brooding to themselves about each other.
Meanwhile the adults in front of them had also lapsed into silence neither one really wanting to talk to the other.
Iruka wanted to make up with Kakashi, but he couldn't let himself when he knew that he supported Naruto's relationship with that no good criminal and that the copy-nin had been in on this crazy pregnancy plot. Though luckily the whole thing had blown up in their faces once Sasuke had found out about what Naruto had done. Now the two weren't talking and that was a good thing in his mind. Now maybe Naruto would realize that Sasuke deserved the fate he was going to receive once they reached the village.
"Iruka, we're nearing the village." Kakashi said quietly.
Iruka stopped above the trees he could see the tall gates of Konoha. In a matter of minutes they would be home and maybe something normal could form back between him and Kakashi again.
Kakashi turned to the teens behind him, "Naruto, Sasuke we're close to the village we can't have Sasuke just waltz in there so I need you two to work together."
The two shared a glare that rivaled the days when they were twelve and Kakashi asked them to do something together. Kakashi almost laughed at the memories the look dug up, but he quickly shook them off.
"Listen both of you. Naruto you will carry Sasuke bridal style into the village until we reach the Hokage's office. It's near nightfall, but there could still be people lurking on the streets. If they see you then there might be a sort of uprising against you and we don't want that."
"So what's the plan then?" Sasuke asked moodily.
Kakashi gave the teen a fatherly look before answering, "Naruto give Sasuke your jacket, Sasuke pull it over your face okay?"
The teens exchanged glances again like they were twelve and Kakashi just told them to work together on a mission.
"Boys just do it and Sasuke take off that purple rope you wear it'll give away who you are."
Reluctantly Sasuke slipped the rope off, then fixing his shirt so that it hung over his pants. Naruto handed him his jacket then picked the Uchiha up, Sasuke draped the jacket over himself so that only his lower body was visible."
"Good, now let's go." Kakashi said. He made sure to pick up the rope and throw it in the woods. It wasn't important anymore.
Sasuke kept his breathing even glad that no one could see that he was blushing underneath Naruto's jacket. He was pressed closely to Naruto's chest and he could feel his heart beat through the blonde's thin black T-shirt. He wondered if Naruto was freaking out about going into the village too.
This could very well be the last time they ever saw each other. Sasuke knew as soon as they were safely in the Hokage's office Tsunade would order him to be taken to prison until an execution date was set. He was an idiot for agreeing to come back, but what did it matter anymore? He had nowhere else to go back to, Madara would kill him once he found him. He wouldn't be able to run away forever, it was best that he face his fate now and move on to another life without all the turmoil and pain that he had felt in this one.
He could hear the guards stifle a gasp when Kakashi whispered who was under the jacket, he wondered if they had been told he was dead. Though if he remembered correctly Tsunade wanted him back alive. He tried his best to control his anxiety, but his heart was starting to beat quickly. He was basically being taken to his death, baby or no baby.
After what seemed like an eternity Naruto was sitting him down and pulling the jacket off of him. Once his eyes adjusted to the light he realized he was sitting in front of Tsunade. Kakashi used chakra restraints to tie his hands behind the chair. It was merely a precaution there was no reason for him to run away.
Tsunade's brown eyes bore into him from behind her desk. Sasuke kept his expression calm and composed, but he couldn't meet her eyes. This woman must hate him and she had every reason to.
"Good work, Naruto, Kakashi, and Iruka. You're all dismissed."
Kakashi and Iruka nodded then slipped out the door to go and file their mission report. Naruto remained standing by the wall.
Tsunade sighed, "I should have known you wouldn't leave so easily, fine stay."
Naruto merely nodded his eyes falling back to Sasuke.
Tsunade moved from behind her desk to stand in front of the Uchiha, "You know why you're here don't you?"
Sasuke nodded hiding his face behind his hair.
"Sasuke, look at me."
Slowly Sasuke looked up at the fifth Hokage.
"I know what you've been through and I know what happened to isn't your fault and it wasn't fair, but it's not an excuse for the crimes you've committed. I have no choice, but to have you executed."
"NO!" Naruto yelled stepping away from his place against the wall. "You can't do that."
"Naruto, I know about your feelings toward him, but there isn't anything I can do considering the situation and the elders are breathing down my neck to have him executed."
"He's pregnant!" Naruto blurted out.
Tsunade turned around to face him confusion in her eyes, "What? Naruto that isn't possible, Sasuke's male he can't get pregnant."
Sasuke was looking blankly between Tsunade and Naruto, not knowing what to say in this situation.
"Please." Naruto begged. "Examine him, just to check. Please."
Tsunade stared at the blonde teen before composing herself, "Shizune take him into an examination room and wait for me."
Shizune nodded undoing the chakra restraints, leading him out of the room. Once the door was closed Tsunade turned to Naruto.
She crossed her arms in annoyance, "What the hell is this about brat? There's no possible way that Sasuke could be pregnant and you know that."
Naruto bit his lip not knowing if he should tell her everything, but he had to give her some sort of explanation. "He—he was experimented on by Orochimaru, he made it possible for Sasuke to—to have children."
Tsunade's eyes widened in realization, "You didn't." she growled.
"I had to!" Naruto yelled. "I had to do something to save him and—and we were already in love so I took advantage of our time together and we had sex."
"You're such an idiot." Tsunade breathed. "Sasuke didn't know about your little plan did he?"
"No, but don't you understand? He would have never agreed to it."
"Naruto, you realize you've just endangered two people's lives right?"
Naruto nodded sadly, "It was stupid and reckless I know and I've just given my unborn child a death sentence."
Tsunade shook her head, "Let me examine him and see if he's actually pregnant first and then I'll see what I can do about this mess you've put yourself in. Where did you get the information that he could get pregnant anyway?"
"Kakashi."
"Of course." Tsunade huffed.
Before she walked out the door she turned back toward Naruto, "Wait here. This was completely idiotic of you Naruto, but you did it because you love him and I respect that."
Naruto looked up at her tears dripping from his eyes before she shut the door. He fell back into the chair Sasuke had occupied earlier placing his head in his hands.
When Tsunade walked in the examination room Sasuke was sitting on the table his hands in his lap and a distant expression in his eyes. Shizune stood beside him waiting patiently for Tsunade.
"Okay brat, lay back and lift your shirt up to your chest." The blonde woman ordered.
Sasuke did as he was told, flinching when Tsunade's cold hands started prodding over his stomach. Her expression turned worrisome and she ordered Shizune to set up the ultrasound machine.
"This will be cold." She said while squirting a clear gel against his stomach. She grabbed the wand looking object from the ultrasound and started to move it around his stomach. Sasuke watched as she stopped in a certain place and her expression turned into serious concentration.
"Do you see that right there?" Tsunade asked Sasuke pointing to something dark on the screen.
Sasuke nodded noticing the blob looking thing she was talking about, then in realization he looked away leaning his head back on the pillow.
"No." he breathed out covering his face with his hands.
Tsunade wiped the gel off his stomach and turned the machine off, "I'd say you're about a month along now. Have you been getting sick?"
Sasuke shook his head, "But I am now." He groaned and rushed to the connecting bathroom to throw up. It felt like the world had come crashing down on top of him, he was pregnant his hopes that it hadn't worked were shot.
He hadn't realized he was crying until Shizune came to pick him up off the floor and told him to calm down, it was then that he noticed the tears pouring off his face. She set him back on the table handing him a few tissues to dry his eyes.
Tsunade appeared in front of him, "Sasuke." She said gently, almost motherly. "We have to go tell Naruto now."
"I don't want it." He said his voice cracking.
"What?"
"You can take it out can't you? If you don't take it out it's just going to die with me!"
Tsunade looked at him sadly, "I can't do that its Naruto's baby too, now come on we have to tell him."
Reluctantly Sasuke followed behind Tsunade too many thoughts running through his head to do much else. Naruto quickly jumped up when they entered, the tear stains on his cheeks matched Sasuke's.
Wordlessly Sasuke stalked over to Naruto, flaming dark eyes met blue ones. Lifting his fist he punched Naruto square in the jaw causing the blonde to topple over the chair and slam into the wall.
"Fucking bastard." Sasuke growled. "You're such a fucking idiot you know that!"
Naruto sat up slowly rubbing his sore jaw, there would definitely be a bruise there later. Sasuke hadn't talked to him in a month and even though his words were harsh it was still nice to hear his voice. Sasuke went to hit him again, but Shizune grabbed his arms holding him back.
"Sasuke, calm down stress isn't good in your condition."
Sasuke shook her off, "I don't care! I hope I lose it, I don't want it!" he screamed.
Naruto stood up with the help of Tsunade his eyes flicking between her and Sasuke,"Wha-What?"
Tsunade sighed, "He's pregnant and he isn't happy about it."
"What's going to happen now?" Naruto asked ignoring Sasuke's glare that was fixed on him.
Tsunade sat down at her desk her hands folded in front of her, "I'll have to present this news to the elders tomorrow. They'll either decide to kill him anyway or—well I don't know what else they'll want to do about this. Until then I have no choice, but to put Sasuke in jail."
Sasuke turned to Naruto, "They're not going to let me live, I'm not a woman and I've made too many mistakes."
"You don't know that!"
"Then what happens after the child is born? Then I'll be set to be killed and you'll be left alone with a baby that everyone will hate!"
Naruto lunged for Sasuke, but Shizune quickly stepped in between them.
"Stop it, both of you." Tsunade said harshly.
The two looked away from each other, looking at Naruto was making Sasuke sick.
"Shizune take Sasuke to a cell." Tsunade ordered.
The dark haired woman nodded, putting the chakra restraints back on Sasuke and leading him out.
Once they were gone Tsunade focused her attention back on Naruto letting out a breathy sigh. She could really use a glass of sake right now.
"You're never going to stop being a trouble maker are you?"
Naruto laughed softly, "I guess not." His expression turned somber, "Will you be able to convince the elders to let him live?"
"All I can do is tell them the news, it's up to them to make a decision. The elders are crazy who knows what they'll decide. Go home get some rest, tomorrow is bound to be a busy day."
Naruto nodded walking out of the office, there was too much on his mind for rest.
On his way home his mind was so completely elsewhere that that he didn't notice a certain pinkette calling out for him until she grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. He was about to yell at whoever was touching him before he met a pair of familiar angry green eyes.
"S-Sakura."
Sakura placed her hands on her hips still glaring at the blonde, "I've been chasing after you since you left Hokage tower didn't you hear me?"
Naruto shook his head, "Sorry I didn't hear you at all."
Sakura's expression softened, she mover her arms to cross them in front of her. "What's wrong, it's not like you to be so dazed."
Naruto wanted to spill everything right there, to confine everything that had happened to his best friend, but he wasn't so sure what he should say.
"You're not fooling me Naruto; it's easy to tell when so something's on your mind. I'm your friend so spill."
Naruto glanced around at the people shoving past them, "Not here."
He grabbed Sakura's wrist dragging her off in the direction on his apartment, maybe then he could get some of this weight of his shoulders.
Once Sakura was seated across from him on his couch he bit his lip in concentration. How much could he tell her? This was Sakura though one of his best friends and former teammate, he knew if he told her she would keep it to herself.
"Sasuke's back." He said waiting to see Sakura's reaction.
Her eyes widened for a moment then settled into their natural shape, "You succeed in your mission then, which means—he's going to be executed right?"
It hurt Naruto to watch as Sakura's face fell and her eyes began rimming with tears. She hadn't been in love with Sasuke for a long time, but she still cared about her former teammate."
"The council—has a decision to make on Sasuke's behalf. Some important factors have come into play and that's messed with their plans of just killing him off."
Sakura's head rose to look at him and she wiped away the tears in her eyes.
"What factors are you talking about? What's happened to make the elders have to reconsider their plan?"
Naruto shook his head sadly, "I'm not sure if I can tell you that, but by tomorrow they'll have made the decision to kill Sasuke or let him live."
"I see why this has you concerned. Did—did you tell Sasuke that you still love him when you found him?"
"Yeah."
"And does he still love you?"
"I—I don't know right now. He said he did, but I think that's changed now."
All Sakura could do was pull her friend into a comforting hug and whisper the empty words, "It's going to be alright."
Sasuke sat with his back on the hard stone wall, the bed underneath him was uncomfortable and springs were poking him in the legs. It didn't matter to him at the moment though, his mind was elsewhere. What was the elder's judgment going to be? This could be the last few hours he has and he has to spend them in a rank jail cell.
There was no way they were going to let him live. Even with a parasite in his stomach, if they did decide to let him live it would probably only be long enough to have the thing inside him and pass it off to Naruto to be raised and hated for the rest of its life.
Once people found out it was born from the Uchiha traitor people would treat it just like they treated Naruto for most of his life. Like a monster like it didn't belong there.
He let a hand slip down to rest on his stomach, it was still flat but he could feel the growing chakra underneath his skin. He hated the parasite and he hated the person who had gotten him into this situation. He wanted to strangle Naruto so badly for putting him through this. Why couldn't the idiot just accept that it was his fate to die?
Right because Naruto loved him and Naruto did whatever it took to protect his loved ones.
He was done with love and done with Naruto. He didn't want this thing inside of him and he definitely didn't want Naruto,
Sasuke Uchiha would rather be dead than be put into this mess, his mind wondered to the thought of running away.
That was always his plan for escape. Was he ever going to stop running away from everything?
-Three days later Sasuke was dragged out of the cell by guards to stand in front of the elders, and unfortunately Naruto. Sasuke glared at him before turning to face the council. All their judging eyes on him were making him nauseous. A feeling he unfortunately had gotten used to over the past few days, it had seemed the morning sickness had finally kicked in.
Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane both glared at the Uchiha teen before Koharu opened her mouth to speak.
"It has been called to our attention that you Sasuke Uchiha are now with child according to the medical examination of the fifth Hokage."
Sasuke exchanged a look with Tsunade before answering, "Yes, it's true."
"Then it's also true, Naruto Uzumaki, jinjuriki to the nine tailed fox is the father?"
"Yes."
"And this pregnancy was brought on by experimentation done by Orochimaru while you were in sound?"
"Yes." Sasuke repeated.
Koharu exchanged a look with Homura, "Based on the fact that you are with child, we will not execute you until after this child is born."
Sasuke's expression fell and his stomach clenched painfully, he closed his eyes fighting off the nausea. Beside him Naruto ginned happily glad to see that his plan had worked.
"You're still a criminal." Koharu said. "Though motherhood sometimes changes a person and you are a very skilled ninja. If you show us that you've changed we may forget about killing you and let you be a Konoha ninja again. Until then you'll be placed under house arrest and will be living with Naruto Uzumaki."
The world started to spin around Sasuke. No no no! He wanted to die, he wanted them to kill him and the parasite inside him and now he had to live with the man he hated at the moment. He started to sway as the world grew black around him. The last thing he heard before hitting the ground was Naruto calling out his name.
