How the Fish Got His Wings

As the trio walked up the stairs to the Hokage's office, all three of them got this sinking feeling that Sasuke was gonna be sent on a mission and how tough it was gonna be to explain the situation to fifty-odd lady. Climbing up the stairs was a dreadful experience, as if they were walking to their own execution. They drug their feet slowly up each step, all three unconsciously looking down at Sasuke's stomach. When they finally reached the top, the three heard a familiar call.

"Hey, Naruto, Sakura. Wait up!" Kiba called, waving them down. Shino and Shikamaru was with him and Akamaru following.

"You going to the hokage's about this next mission, too?" Shikamaru asked. Naruto looked at him confused.

"What mission?" He asked.

"What, you haven't heard? The anbu think they might have found two Akatsuki members on the border of the Land of Tea," Kiba said.

"The hokage wanted you and...Sasuke...going especially," Shino spoke up. He turned his eyes on Sasuke and even though Sasuke couldn't see them, he knew Shino's eyes burned with that same anger everyone else had for him. Sasuke turned his eyes towards the sky, staring at it, taking his mind elsewhere.

Sasuke was used to this kind of reaction whenever he went anywhere, but it didn't make the sadness go away. So whenever someone talked about him in front of him or he passed villagers, to ignore them, he looked to the past. He saw him and his brother playing hide n' seek or just walking through town and talking. But this time, it wasn't the past he looked to, it was the future. The future with Naruto, and his unborn twins. He vaguely wondered how everyone would react and just decided that he didn't care, as long as Naruto was there.

As Sasuke was coming out of his reverie he was in the hokage's office behind ten ninja, minus Naruto and Sakura, that he recognized. Naruto decided to push his way to the front and Sakura went to stand by Lee. He also noticed, with an embarrassed blush, that he was the only one not dressed in the correct uniform used to perform his shinobi tasks. As they entered, all eyes were on him and his casual outfit.

(Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck, as if I couldn't make them hate me more, I come in looking like this. I should have known to where the whole uniform.)

(Sasu-kitten, I think that would have been a very unwise decision.)

(Why?) He asked his demon friend as he avoided the angry eyes of almost everyone in the room.

(Because every minute, those kittens are growing inside you, do you not feel it?)

(No, I do, I do. It's just that...I hate that I can't do ANYTHING right in their eyes.)

"Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, nice of you three to finally show up," Tsunade said, sarcasms dripping in every word, "and Sasuke, nice uniform. Were you planning on relaxing for the day? Why aren't you dressed properly? You had better have a good reason!"

"Uh...well...you see-" Sasuke stuttered, trying to find a good excuse but it was very hard seeing as he was about to have an anxiety attack with everybody looking at him. His eyes reverted to everyone else's. His heart started pounding in his chest, as if it wanted to be free of its confinement. His hands started to numb and his breathing started to labor.

(Damnit, Damnit! What the hell is wrong with me?! So I didn't put my uniform on, what's the big deal?! And why can't I find a excuse? For obvious reasons, I can't tell them that pregnant, and I can't just go home put it on, and go through with the mission. The stress would kill them!!)

(Your stress right now will kill them! You're having a panic attack, calm down!) Sasha said in an urgent voice.

"I...can't," he said out loud. His eyes were squeezed shut so hard it hurt with sweat pouring down his face. (Naruto, where...are you?) And as if he was summoned by mere thoughts alone, Naruto was by his side, pulling him out the door. Sakura following.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?! Get back in-" Tsunade was interrupted by the door slamming.

When the three were in the hall, they slid Sasuke down so he was sitting against the wall. Sakura concentrated her chakra to her hands and put them on Sasuke's temples, relieving him of his anxiety.

"Oi, Sasuke! Are you okay? Talk to me!" Naruto shouted frantically. He knelt in front of Sasuke and cupped his pale face in his hands. He moved Sasuke's face so he was looking directly at Naruto. Sasuke's cheeks were still flushed, with his hair sticking to his face because of the perspiration. He was still breathing heavily but the pounding in his heart started to slow down.

"Naruto, move out of the way!" Sakura shouted pushing him aside, "Sasuke-kun, look at me," he did, "what happened? Why did you suddenly have a panic attack like that?" Naruto gave her an incredulous look.

"Why, why?! Did you see how everyone was looking at him? And just because he didn't have his vest on, damn it! They make me so fuckin' angry," Naruto said sitting on his knees at Sasuke's side. Naruto put his arms around Sasuke's shoulders and held Sasuke to himself. Naruto laid his head on Sasuke's and closed his eyes, trying to stay as calm as possible. Sasuke closed his eyes and grabbed onto Naruto's arms and squeezed.

Sakura sat back on her heels and thought about Naruto's words. As a matter of fact, he's right. And not just about today either, it's all the time.She looked at Sasuke and saw the his breathing was returning to normal. That's good at least, She looked at them both now, and sighed. There is more to this story than meets the eye, I'll just have to wait for a good time to ask.

Just then, everyone stormed out of the room and walked right passed the three without even a pause. Sasuke tensed and stayed as still as possible. He relaxed a little as they all disappeared from view but then jumped as Tsunade walked out and said in a loud, booming voice, "GET IN HERE!"

The trio stood up as Tsunade stalked back into her office. Sasuke's head was down and Naruto and Sakura could just look at each other. Naruto put an arm around Sasuke's shoulders and the three walked in the office and up to her desk. Sakura and Naruto tensed at the stare they were getting from their hokage. She sat hunched over, her chin rested on her intertwined hands that looked like they were gonna break off if she squeezed any harder.

If looks could kill, hehe.

Shut it. "Does anyone want to tell me what that little display was about?" Tsunade said in a dangerously quiet voice that sounded stressed with contained anger.

(I can't say it)

Go ahead kit, say it.

Who's gonna tell her?

(It's okay kitten, it will be fine. Just say it.)

Oh the hell with it. "Sasuke is pregnant with twins," Sakura bit her bottom lip and Sasuke tensed, waiting for a reaction. Tsunade's eyes widened and her jaw hung open in disbelief.

"Who's-"

"Mine." He said it in such a firm and confident voice that had pride etched in every syllable, that Sasuke had to look up Naruto and give him a smile, even though Naruto didn't see it.

"Are you lying? Please tell me you're lying," she said in an even quieter voice with a hint of desperation in it. All three heard it too and looked at her confused.

"Lady Tsunade? Do you know anything about how this could have happened? Because if you do-" Sakura was interrupted by Tsunade's scornful laugh.

"Yeah, I know how this could have happened," her eyes turned dark as she stood up and looked out the window that always been at her back. She kept a strong grip on her chair as her shoulders shook with anger.

The three Chunins saw this and didn't dare to speak, afraid of the wrath that was sure to come if they did. Naruto felt Sasuke's shoulders start to shake as well, but for a different reason. He dropped his arm off of Sasuke's shoulders and grabbed his hand and gave it a small squeeze. Sasuke felt this small pressure and squeezed back, hard. With eyes cast down, he took a deep breath and then...

"Lady Tsunade, I'm sorry. I know I should have-" he jumped and stopped short as he heard a crash and a window breaking. When he looked up, Tsunade's chair was missing from the room and she had her back towards them still with her clenched fists at her side. He closed his mouth and looked back down and Naruto saw this and that made him angry.

"Listen grandma, this isn't Sasuke's fault so don't get mad at-"

"I am not angry at him, it's me I'm angry at." Naruto shut up and Sasuke looked up, shocked. Sakura was now very confused.

"Lady Tsunade, why are you angry at yourself? You couldn't have possibly been responsible for..." she pointed at Sasuke's stomach, "this." Tsunade turned around and they saw the saddest expression on her face that they had ever seen before.

"You're wrong. I have everything to do with it," she paused and saw that they were looking at her expectantly with a bit of shock in their eyes, "you see, I am the one who performed the jutsu on him."
