For your reading pleasure, a new chapter.
Consequences of the Unknown Truth ch.7
I gasped softly, unconsciously aware that a loud exclamation would bring Sasuke and in return cause my lover to disappear. I turned around slowly in the circle of his arms, bringing my hands to his face.
"You know," I began, "it's not a wise decision to sneak up on a pregnant woman." I nuzzled his neck, my cheek resting on his shoulder.
He was the only person besides my mother to catch me unaware, sometimes it bothered me but tonight I was just happy to see him. His hands which had been resting on my waist, just above the swell of my abdomen drifted lower and caressed my stomach. I looked up at him, I could see the slight wonder in his red eyes. I knew then he never wanted to leave me behind and no matter how hard I begged he wouldn't drag me and our children into his problems.
"You really are a potent being," I quipped, "considering that we're having triplets." I watched his eyes widen in surprise as he turned to look at me.
"Ai," he whispered before he took my face in his hands and kissed me. I fell into that kiss, lost in the emotion and love he was expressing the only way he could. I moaned lightly as he nipped at my lip, drawing from me more passion and desire for him than I had felt in a long while. The kiss soon came to an end when breathing became a greater necessity than losing ourselves in each other.
"I missed you," I whispered. I wrapped my arms around his waist and held on as if the life I held in my body would desert me when or if I ever let go. I didn't want to go back, go back to the long nights. I didn't want to continue my nights alone without him, my days passing listlessly sometimes lacking the desire to carry on.
I needed him, "I need you," I confessed. Tears began to stream from my eyes and I buried my face into the cloak he was wearing as he let my tears stain the dark fabric. Eventually the tears stopped falling and I gasped, drawing much needed oxygen into my lungs.
"I love you, Itachi," I whispered.
"Ai," he began, I looked up into his eyes but before he could continue, my senses began screaming. I turned around abruptly, almost falling, Itachi holding me up as my knees buckled slightly.
A man dressed similarly to Itachi landed on the balcony. He was shrouded by the shadows of night, but the full moon lent enough light for me to see the sickly blue color of his skin.
"Itachi," he called.
"Kisame," Itachi replied.
His gaze turned from Itachi to me, "She's a pretty little thing isn't she, is she yours," he asked him. I shuddered involuntarily, this man made me uncomfortable, his eyes looked hungry and hope he didn't require anything from me.
"Stop teasing her," Itachi replied. The blue man, his name Kisame just registering in my mind pouted.
"I just wanted to have some fun Itachi. You suck the fun outta everything, you know. You need to loosen up a little," then he looked at me again," it's not like I was gonna eat her."
I scoffed at this statement. I bared my teeth a little, "I dare you to try it," I growled.
"Oooh, she's a feisty little thing, how do you manage her."
"Kisame," Itachi stated his voice unusually colder than the tone I was accustomed to hearing.
"Ok, ok," he replied. At that moment my bedroom door opened, Kisame drew a kunai and held it defensively, anticipating a fight. From the door, Hachi sprung running to cover me defensively, he snarled and growled low in his throat at the threat he perceived.
"Shut up," I whispered, "you're gonna wake Sasuke." Hachi stopped growling but still bared his fangs at Kisame.
"Come on Itachi," Kisame called, "I finished my part on the mission; it's time to go." I looked at Itachi, my hand stretched forward slightly, as if that outstretched hand would stop him from leaving. He walked to the edge of the balcony, looked back once and disappeared into the night. I locked the balcony doors and closed my bedroom door before I collapsed on my bed, Hachi curled up in the small of my back. I gaze at the moon through the windowed pane unto I fell into a dreamless sleep.
