Chapter 7-Itachi
I stare at naruko's eyes, they were red but not from sharingan. Those were the same eyes the dobe use to get sometimes when we use to go on missions and he would get angry. I lay motionless on he ground I really wasn't sure how to react she was my daughter. If it was anyone else I would kick their ass but this was naruko.
-"Naruko! That's enough please control yourself." Naruto yell worry he stood up and walk towards her.
-"Why do you always defend him? Why the hell you do it?" naruko yell back as a tear roll down her small cheeks. I notice more anger on those eyes that almost looked demonic.
-"we don't naruko, but you cannot hurt him. Your brother, he wants to be closer to his father. So by hurting sasuke you are hurting your bother too." I notice naruto was doing everything he could to stop the girl but I could tell it was all for nothing.
-"I don't care. He lived without that man once he can do it again." My heart ache at hearing those words coming out of naruko's mouth, but I put that aside for now. I notice more chakra coming out of naruko's body.
-"Aaaahhhhhhahhhhhhhhahahah ba…baba, ahahahhhhhhhhaaaaaaahhh." Naruko cried in pain. Naruto looked at her alarmed.
-"Lion get out, NOW." Naruto scream. Lion nod and with tears on his eyes exit the room. I saw naruto run to naruko and hold her arms. My eyes widen as I notice naruto's arms getting burn. What the hell is going on? I thought. I stood up, I was going to walk to where naruto to help but I heard weasel call my name I turn to him.
-"Sasuke don't touch her." He said soft but firm I stop.
-"Ready?" naruto ask.
-"Yeah…" weasel said as he remove his mask. My eyes widen. I could not believe what my eyes were looking at. In front of me was none other than…
(NARUTO'S POV)
-"Itachi! Hurry." I said in pain. I didn't know how much I could take the pain.
-"Hn." I move aside a little just enough so itachi could look right into naruko's eyes. Naruko keep yelling in pain but I try my best to ignore it if I panic than I could not help her and she needed to be as still as possible so itachi could do his job. I sigh in relief as I notice naruko's eyes start to change slowly to their original onyx color. The chakra that was full of malice was finally gone, she was back to normal. She d her eyes and her slim body fell on my arms. I kneel completely down just like itachi. He took her from my burnt arms which were starting to heal but much more slowly than they use to. I was not surprise.
-"Let me take a look at that." Koi said. I hadn't even notice her arrive. I notice sasuke was in shock. But I disregard him I could not deal with him now I had more important things on mind.
-"I'll be fine koi. Just make sure my princess is ok." I notice koi give me a nod and turn to my little girl.
-"Itachi-sama, please help me take her upstairs." Itachi nod and the three of us head upstairs with the only one thing on our mind, which was to help naruko and make sure she was ok.
(SASUKE'S POV)
I stood there unsure of what to do, once again nothing seem to made sense. What the hell was my bastard of a brother doing with naruto? And naruto was ok with that? My head started to hurt.
-"Papa?" lion said I turn to look at him. I could tell he was scare and he was crying. I kneel down.
-"come here." He run towards me and hug me, I hug him back tightly I didn't want to let go and neither did he. I pick him up and headed up stairs to my room. As I keep going up my body froze, literally. Itachi stood right in front of me. He was looking at lion.
-"Are you ok lion?" he ask my son. Sasuke turn to him with a weak smile.
-"Yes uncle itachi. Ho…how is naru?" lion ask what I wanted to ask yet I knew the words would never come out.
-"She's fine, koi said. And so is your baba. You should rest with your papa. Leave the two alone for now ok? Lion."
-"ok…uncle it was my entire fault. I'm sorry." Itachi did something that I did not know he was capable of doing, he smile.
-"Is not your fault. Believe me."
-"but I…" itachi shake his head.
-"I will talk to your baba. He needs to get things straight with naruko, sasuke and himself. You know there is nothing wrong wanting to be with your father." Lion grin as for me I was in shock.
-"Thank you uncle-tachi I love you."
-"love you too." Itachi turn to look at me, I could not help the glare. "I believe I also need to give you some explanations. Don't I?"
-"Hn." I still could not get myself to give him a real answer. That was all I could say to him.
-"Alright then I must go." he said passing next to me and heading down stairs. I got my body to move after a moment and once more head to my room. I had finally made it. I open the door and enter. After closing the door behind me I walk to my bed and sat lion on it. I took a sit as well. We stayed silence for about what seem like fifteen minutes but like always lion was the one to break the ice.
-"You know uncle is right. What he said, well what I mean is that I believe that…what I'm trying to say is that you want to get close to naruko right?" I nod. "Like I told you before I don't want to leave you. And I know naruko doesn't either because I don't believe she hates you. I know she wants to be close to you too."
-"Than why does she want me dead?"
-"Because she is scare. And because you have to prove to her that…that you want to change and that you are not the bad person she thinks you are. If uncle-tachi wants to talk to you listen to him, don't fight him ok. If you do, that will make her very angry. She loves him very much papa. She won't forgive you if you try to hurt him." I stare at lion. Naruko love that bastard. And he wanted me to listen to him? Could I? I knew I had to if I wanted to be ok with naruko. I took a deep breath.
-"Alright." He smile and lay down on the bed. He yawned and closed his eyes.
-"I'm glad to hear that papa." I stood up and head to the bathroom. I need to clear my head and some cold water would help a lot at this very moment.
(GENERAL POV)
Sasuke had just woken up; he was now at the kitchen. He growl annoy when he heard a knock on the door. He head to the front door to open it. Sakura stood at the front of his door. The girl smile and sasuke just glare.
-"If that is a good morning than good morning to you too sasuke." Sasuke glare even more but sakura was too use to it to even be bother by it, she just ignore it.
-"What do you want sakura?" the raven ask aggravated.
-"Well since my teammate didn't bother go to check on me, you know to see if I was indeed ok. I decide to come see him." The pink-haired explain.
-"Hn." Sasuke had nothing to say to that. Why was sakura here he didn't buy that bullshit he never went to see her or anyone.
-"I wanted to come yesterday but I had an emergency call from the hospital, so I could not make it." The girl gave an unnecessary explanation in sasuke's opinion.
-"Well you ok and I have see you so go away sakura." sakura ignore him she seem more interest on what ever had caught her attention in the house. Sasuke turn around once his head had spin it wasn't too hard to figure what she was looking at little sasuke who was standing in the kitchen entrance. He was looking at sakura as well actually he was giving her a glare it really didn't fit the boy since he was always so cheerful it was weird since the two sasuke's were so alike and it fit the older sasuke perfectly. Lion walk towards sasuke and took his arm the little boy never left his eyes of the konochi.
-"Ohhh and who is the boy?" sakura ask excited.
-"This is sasuke." Sasuke answered annoy. Sakura turn to look at him, she gave the raven an eerie look.
-"Sasuke?" she question. Sasuke sigh irritate. He had enough of this shit.
-"Yes now sakura leave I'm busy."
-"But…"
-"Bye." Sasuke slam the door on sakura's face. Someone laugh from behind. Both sasuke's turn around only to find naruko standing there. Her laugh was so beautiful, the two smile. Naruko at noticing their smile blush and glare at the two.
-"Hn, I…I only laugh because I don't like that pink-haired bitch." Sasuke smile even more the girl blush even more. "Hn." Naruko turn and walk to the kitchen. The ravens fallow behind her. Naruko had the refrigerator open; she took out the milk after closing the door to the refrigerator she reached for some cereal. Both males waited with patient for the girl to get her breakfast ready. They too wanted cereal. Once the girl was done she took her plate to the dinning room. Not to long after both ravens join her on the table with their own cereal, the three were silence.
-"Glad your feeling better little princess." Itachi broke the silence. He was walking down the stairs. He was wearing no mask. When sasuke notice him the raven wanted to kill the man but he stoped himself as he remembered his conversation with lion last night. Naruko smile at her uncle who once down kissed the girl in the forehead. Naruko kiss her uncle on the cheek.
-"I am thanks to you and baba and koi." The girl said childish. Sasuke felt jealousy.
-"Talking about your baba, he forbids me to train you today. Sorry tiger." Naruko frown.
-"But, why?"
-"Because I don't have the head to let you go and I'll be here worry all day. So please do it for me." Naruto said as he walked down the stairs. Everyone turn to look at him.
-"I, but…fine." Naruko said trying to sound annoy but fail miserably.
-"Thanks princess. Ohh and by the way good morning everyone." naruto gave a kiss to naruko on the forehead just like itachi had done not to long ago. She kissed him too. Naruto turn to look at both sasuke's but frown when he notice little sasuke looked down. Naruto walk to the boy and kiss his forehead as well. "Don't look so down now sasuke." Naruto said with a smile.
-"Baba is right idiot. You should be glad I won't be training today. Maybe you can get a bit stronger, maybe." Naruko took a spoon of her cereal. Lion smile at her but then glare.
-"What is that suppose to mean?" the boy ask annoy. Naruto smile at seeing the boy back to his normal self. He walked to the kitchen.
-"Here let me spell it for you, you are W.E.A.K, weak." the girl said amuse. She loved to bother her brother. She smirked when she notice sasuke was now sulking. She noticed he had even forgotten his cereal. Good. She thought her day was all good now. Naruto came out of the kitchen and walk upstairs. He stopped halfway and turned to everyone.
-"I'll be in my room call me if there is an emergency." The blond man said and walked upstairs once more. Itachi who had taken a sit a long time ago was now staring at sasuke. The raven had notice but wouldn't say a thing.
-"You know I hate people staring at me." Sasuke finally said something after five minutes or so. He did not turn to look at itachi though.
-"I know." sasuke turn to look at him and glare. It was his nature. "It surprises me that you have no tried to kill me." Sasuke wonder if that weird tone he was getting from the bastard was happiness. No it couldn't be. Could it?
-"I…if naruto is with you after you try killing him then I'm guessing there is something I should know." Itachi chuckle a little.
-"True, but he is with you who also try to kill him." Sasuke glare at itachi. Smart bastard. Sasuke thought.
-"Also, naruko hates me but for what I can see she adores you just like sasuke. And I believe if they trust you than I should stop and listen to what ever you have to say." Both itachi and lion smile. Naruko was wide-eye, was the bastard for real.
-"Hn. I guess you're not the big bastard I thought you were." Naruko said running upstairs. Sasuke turn to look at her, he smile. He had kind of gotten a compliment from naruko. Right? He was glad he had listened to his son.
-"Wait for me naru." Sasuke said as he run behind his sister. After taking a deep breath sasuke turned to look at itachi who look happy. This bothered sasuke.
-"Ok…what do I need to know itachi? What is going to change my mind so I won't kill you? You sure change everyone's thought about you?" itachi stare at sasuke. He wondered where to start, he guess the beginning was always the best choice.
-"Well, sasuke you remember what father was doing the last three months before the uchiha's death?" sasuke try to calm his anger by remembering his son and daughter. He focused on the question instead of remembering that it was the bastard that was sitting in front of him the one who had killed the uchiha's. Sasuke focus on the question that itachi had ask him after a minute of getting control of his emotions. What had his father…?
-"Yes, he had to go to a meeting almost everyday or so." Sasuke remember how he had not seen his father much those last months. Itachi nodded.
-"Have you any idea what those meetings were for?"
-"No."
-"They were planning an attack against konoha." Sasuke's eyes widen. That could not be true.
-"Why would they do that?" sasuke question. What itachi was saying could not be true. Could it?
-"The person who fought against the first for konoha was madara. What many people not know was that madara was an uchiha. Why do you think uchiha's were in charge of the konoha police it was just to give us some power and no one would complain." Sasuke stay silence. Itachi continue. "The council found out of course. And as you know my loyalty was no longer with the uchiha's but with konoha. I had become an ANBU. I was not part of the police department if you remember. When they told me it was only to inform me that it was my job to destroy the uchiha's." sasuke knit his brow.
-"So you went and did so." The uchiha said bitter.
-"I could careless about the uchihas; all I care about was you and mom."
-"Then why you kill her?" sasuke ask sadden a tear came out of his left eye.
-"I told her about my mission. She told me that she agreed with konoha. She knew what father was doing was wrong, and that I should go and kill everyone. But she also told me she unlike me could not carry such burden. She told me to forgive her because she was going to ask for something selfish, she ask me to kill her too." Itachi not only sounded sad but he also looked it, sasuke could tell. The younger raven ignore it, he didn't want to believe what itachi was telling him, yet something deep down told him it was all true. Sasuke stare directly at itachi the raven seem hurt.
-"Why did you leave me than? Why the FUCK did you leave me if your mission was over? And why you told me all of those things? Why you made me believe…?" sasuke ask with fury.
-"My mission was to kill everyone sasuke, not to leave my little brother alive. The council gave me a choice your life or my freedom in konoha. When I left you alive I knew of my consequence in doing so that's why I told you that, I didn't want you looking for me. You still did. I thought, I…I should of known." Sasuke's tears were now running freely. What could he say now what could he do all his life had been a lie. Sasuke stood up. "Forgive me sasuke." Was the last thing sasuke heard as he walked up the stairs towards his room.
Sasuke was lying on his bed looking at the ceiling. His black orbs looked empty. No light seem to be on them. Once in a while a tear would roll down. No thoughts were going through his head, there lay nothing but an empty shell. The raven wasn't even aware of naruto's presence until the blond took a sit next to him on the bed. Naruto turn to look at the raven's eyes. It pained the blond to see sasuke so blank.
-"When I lost everything nine years ago, I lost all hope in life. I had lost my friends, my pride, my village, and the thing…that was worst I had lost you." Sasuke turn to look at naruto. The raven still looked lost naruto continue. "But when I discover I was pregnant." Naruto chuckle, at the memory. "Life started to come back to me and when I had them. God, it was the best thing that had happened to me since I met you." At hearing naruto's words sasuke sat up. The two were only inches apart. Sasuke wanted to touch that beautiful face and after struggling with his inner self for a minute he did. Naruto at feeling the warm radiating from sasuke's hand close his eyes and lean in to get more. He loved this. The blond wanted to see the raven's face. Naruto smile once his eyes were open he could finally see sasuke getting back the dark mysterious color in his eyes. They no longer looked empty.
-"Why does everyone always try to protect me?" the raven asked with some anger.
-"Maybe because you mean everything to us and we don't want to see you get hurt." Naruto answered as if it were obvious.
-"I don't need anyone's protection."
-"We know but, we…I could never see you getting hurt." The two stayed in silence. Both males just stare at each other. Sasuke wanted to close the space between the two and with out much thought he did.
(HOKAGE'S TOWER)
-"Those two cannot be twins." Sakura said throwing her arms up dramatically. She was walking back and forward in the hokage's office.
-"And yet they are." Tsunade said not bothering to look at sakura she was too busy writing down something on a scroll. "I'm not 100% sure but don't you agree that's not really what matters?" sakura stop walking and turn to look at tsunade. She lean on a chair, she was kind of tired for walking so much.
-"You mean the kid calling him papa and the little girl having the same blood type?"
-"Yes, Also fox called sasuke a teme." Tsunade said turning to sakura and forgetting the scroll which shizune had ask for almost an hour ago.
-"Naru…naruto was the only person who ever called sasuke that. And how did he know sasuke had the same blood as naruko. And the names?" sakura's head hurt. "So many questions and no answers. I know sasuke knows something, but doesn't want to say a thing." Both women stayed quiet, they needed to come up with something. They needed answers damn it all.
-"Sakura?"
-"What?" sakura ask annoy.
-"I think I know what's going on but I'm going to need your help. Now listen carefully, do you remember the book that…?"
(SASUKE'S POV)
We part slowly. I open my eyes which I hadn't even known I close. The first thing I saw were those azure eyes I love so much. The blond idiot was blushing but like always had a smile on his face. I gave a soft smile of my own. I now knew where my life had gone and why I felt so empty. I needed naruto. I wanted it back. I wanted the emptiness to go away. I would give anything to get it all back.
-"Naruto…" I started I wanted him to know how I felt. "I want to have what we had before. I want to know everything. I want to be with you. I want to be with my son and daughter. I want another chance." I saw naruto's eyes widen, I knew I was asking for too much. But I also believe I deserve it.
-"It makes me happy to hear that but…" my heart crush at hearing the but, why did he have to have a but. "The only way for us to get what we had is for you to gain naruko's trust otherwise. I won't do anything that could break her heart. I know is unfair but they mean everything to me I could not do something that might make them suffer I just won't." I sigh in relief.
-"Dobe I was planning on gaining her love anyways." Naruto chuckled. He stood up after a second.
-"Good to hear that teme. You are doing great." Naruto said walking to the door, he open the door. He turned towards me before he exit. "Ohh and by the way if you keep listening to my lion things be better sooner." Naruto exit and close the door.
-"Dobe." I lay back on the bed with a smile. Even though I was touching my lips I was not aware of it and when I did notice it, it didn't surprise me that much. That was what naruto did to me. It was like a side effect. I felt like right now I was in bliss world. This didn't last too much.
-"hah…" I moan in pain. Sasuke had jump on top of me. Damn it. I thought. I had been so distracted that I hadn't even notice lion come in. Damn those side effects.
-"Papa, papa? You look content." He said with a smile. I looked at him and hug him. His face was now on my chest. I could feel his breath getting harder.
-"I guess I am." After a moment I felt him getting relaxed.
-"I'm glad to hear that papa." He said getting comfortable in my chest. "Papa?"
-"Yes?"
-"Uncle-tachi is a good person."
-"Yeah" there was a silence between the two, until eventually the darkness over took us. We were sound asleep.
