Oh yeah, now here it comes, Misao's troubles will double! *evil grin*


In ten minutes everything was readied and the Uchiha brothers grasped her hands. In the blink of an eye, they traveled to Domino City (it would've been impossible for them to adjust to the other dimension because of the language barrier alone) and she sighed when she found that the others were okay.

Itachi looked around and Sasuke copied him, their Sharingan active.

"There's nothing to assess, this is a world purely of civilians. No ninjas, at least not like us."

"This place...it's completely foreign to me," Sasuke commented.

"The only place I could compare it with is Amegakure no Sato. All the buildings are towering and made of metal," Itachi added.

"This is Domino City, my other home when I'm not in Konohagakure no Sato. Put away the hitae-ate, we're civilians from now on. Since I know this place better than you, follow me, we'll make a stop at the library first."

Just as they started walking, a loud buzzing came from Misao's pocket. She had said item out and next to her face in a split second, and smiled. "Oh, it's one of my friends." She flipped open the black cell phone with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon charm and put it to her ear. "Hello?"

"You're back so soon this time, Misao!" Mokuba's voice exclaimed from the other end. "It's only been three months! Are you okay? Are the twins okay?!"

"Unfortunately one didn't survive, Mo. The other's fine and I'll bring her over as soon as I can."

"Nii-sama's been anxious all this time about you! I thought he was gonna lose it!"

"He'll be overjoyed to see her. Tell him not to worry anymore, I'm fine."

"I'm so thankful you didn't die from that fall! I couldn't sleep for two days, I was so worried about you! I'll tell Nii-sama your message! I hope to see you soon!"

"You will, bye Mo."

"Bye!"

She hung up and put the phone on ring.

"What is that?" Sasuke asked. "It couldn't be a two-way radio, the buttons aren't the same."

"It's a cell phone," Misao answered as she put it back in her pocket.

" 'Cell phone'?" Itachi prodded.

"It's like a two-way radio, but there's no limit to the distance and who you can contact, as long as they have your number."

All the way to their destination, she explained cell phones and their many uses. She entered the building and took out her wallet. She went to the closest computer and went online. She was swift, so swift she was done by the time Itachi and Sasuke caught up to her, she was done. "I've gotten us a place to settle down. It's not far from here."

"How did you do that so fast? That video screen you were in front of?" Sasuke wondered aloud.

"It's called a computer and I think this'll be a long day of explanations."


They settled in the small house with all the furnishings and Itachi queried, "How did you get the money for the rent? We don't have any."

"I have a job with lots of benefits," she lied as she put Oki down for her afternoon nap. "That includes enough pay to handle the rent."

"I won't have you earning our keep, Misao. Sasuke and I will work."

"I need to contribute, after feeling useless because of the chakra inhibitor," Sasuke tacked on.

"Fine, I'll help you look for jobs."


In a couple days both Uchiha men had identities and found jobs in the police force. As soon as they were gone, Misao set up a babysitter and got her other daughter from the orphanage. She traveled to the Kaiba Mansion and Mokuba almost dragged her inside. "I thought you'd come the very same day, Misao! What happened?!"

"I was catching up with my family. We haven't spoken in a while."

"Is that my niece?!"

"Yes, her name is Nanase."

"Nii-sama's not going to let you go for the same amount of time you disappeared for—three months!"

"I can't do that, I have work."

"You got a job?"

"Yeah. It has great benefits."

"You don't need a job when you're married to the CEO of KaibaCorp! Just ask and he'll give you anything!"

"I know, but I have to do something besides sit around. I'll get fat if I don't exercise."

"You'd never get fat," Seto purred as he put his arms around her. "You haven't gotten fat from carrying the twins, so nothing could."

She smiled and turned around in his arms. "How do you know? I'm sure if I got lazy, I'd put on the pounds."

"You're not lazy, are you?"

He leaned in to kiss her and she leaned back. "You're going to squash Nanase."

The elder Kaiba saw his new daughter and held out his arms. Misao placed Nanase in them and he gazed at the sleeping little girl like he'd never seen anything so beautiful.

'He's fallen in love. Sure he loves me, but this...was instant. Not even Itachi fell in love with his firstborn like this.'

'He also isn't afraid to show his emotions. Itachi doesn't have that luxury.'

'I know. Itachi and Sasuke won't be back until the morning with their shifts. I'll have time to sleep in the same bed as Seto...'

'If you do, shower as soon as you get home.'

'Why?'

'Touching him will make you smell like him, and I doubt Itachi will miss that you smell like the ocean instead of your normal scent.'

'I'm so thankful that I have you, or else I would've been found out a long time ago.'

'It's only beginning. Now that they're in the same dimension, you'll have to be a hundred times more careful. If they ever meet each other, the game is over.'

'With Seto, it'll be a little easier because he's not a ninja, but you're right.'

'Of course I am. I've dealt with difficult cases with my hosts, and a good few of them weren't the sharpest tacks in the box.'

'Thanks for the compliment.'

'If I didn't mock you, you wouldn't know I cared.'

'Shut up.'


Misao woke when Seto kissed her goodbye before he went to work, Nanase's bassinet next to her so neither of them would have to go far when the baby woke. She got up and looked into the crib at her firstborn, the chestnut-haired infant sucking on her first two fingers as she slumbered. The mother stroked the soft cheek with an adoring smile before she activated her technique.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu."

A single clone appeared and nodded as Misao used her Body Flicker to travel instantly to her other home, where she dispelled the other clone who'd been taking care of Oki during the night. She got into the shower, and none too soon, for as soon as she rinsed herself off of all scents besides her own, she felt Itachi and Sasuke arrive home from their graveyard shift at the police station. She knew Itachi would be joining her momentarily before he would be taking a short nap to recharge so he could spend time with his wife and child.

"Misao?" he called as he entered the master bedroom and began to take off his uniform.

"I'm in the shower!" she called back softly, as to not wake Oki.

He opened the door and sighed. "Last night's patrol was quiet. How was your night, Misao?"

'Now for the next group of lies.' "It was pretty normal, considering that I only had to work for a few hours. Oki kept me up for most of the night, but other than that, nothing."

The door to the shower opened and Itachi stepped in, kissing her neck before reaching for the soap. "Oki's a good girl, so you must've gotten almost a full night's sleep."

"I have. Um...Itachi, I'm pregnant."

His hands cradled her still-flat stomach and she felt his lips smile at her nape. "So soon after having Oki...you must be tired from getting used to Oki's schedule along with the morning sickness."

"A little."

"Misao, if this continues because of the Nibi, we'll have more children than we can afford in this world. Could you talk to it so you won't have to have more than two at this time?"

"Kitty can hear you, you know. I'm sure she understands." 'Right, Kitty?'

'Of course I do, since having more than two isn't looked well upon in Japan in the first place. I'm sure that I'll have to do the same with Kaiba Seto once you have one more with him as well.'

'Thanks.'

"Will you be joining me in bed?"

"No, I'll take care of Oki while you rest. I'll also have dinner ready when you wake."

She dressed in a miniskirt and spaghetti strap top before she took Oki and exited the room. She spotted Sasuke eating a loaf of melon bread at the kitchen counter, still in his uniform. He turned his head at her appearance and greeted her with a tired grunt. She rumpled his hair and whispered, "You should go to bed instead of eating. You had a long night, after all."

"Hungry."

She snorted and shook her head with a smile. 'Sasuke's so stubborn. I'm sure he'll wake up with a stomachache later.'

'He's always this way, so let him suffer the consequences.'

'Yeah. He'll learn sooner or later.'

The doorbell suddenly chimed and both the Uchiha teenagers looked up before Sasuke muttered, "I'll get it."

She nodded and went to the living room, where she spread out a baby blanket and placed Oki in the center, getting out a couple baby toys before taking a rubber duck and squeaking it in front of the three-and-a-half-month-old's face. "Oki, what's this?" she asked in a high-pitched voice. "What is it? Is it your rubber ducky? Huh?"

Oki sucked on her binky and reached for the toy. Just as she took it, Sasuke called, "Misao, there's a woman here asking for you. Should I let her in?"

"Who is she?"

"She says her name's Mazaki Anzu."

'Anzu?! How did she find me at this address?!'

'If you don't let her in, she'll come back with the rest next time to demand your attention.'

'Yeah.' "I know her, let her in!"

Anzu followed Sasuke into the living room, where he flopped tiredly onto the couch and was about to bite into his melon bread when Misao snapped, "Sasuke, what did I say about eating anywhere except the kitchen?!"

He shot up and walked the five feet to the kitchen, sitting at the table. "Tyrant."

"It's my house and you'd better believe I'm gonna be firm about the rules, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Anzu watched the exchange with slight alarm as she looked between the two. "Is this a relative of yours? I thought your only relatives were Rishid, Ishizu and Marik!"

"I forgot I didn't tell you, Anzu. I have two cousins, Sasuke is the younger of the two. The other is sleeping right now, named Itachi."

"Oh, are you visiting? Maybe I should bring the guys over to see your cousins' house!"

"Now?"

"Sure! I'll call them and give them the address, since this place isn't too far from the game shop!"

Before Misao could stop her, Anzu had called over not only her three guy friends, but Shizuka, Ryo and Otogi as well. Sasuke, who'd finished his breakfast in the midst of the calls, waved to Misao before going to his room. Anzu then asked, "Are your cousins police officers? I saw Sasuke-san had a uniform..."

"Yeah, they're brand-new to the force, since they just moved here three days ago."

"Did they have previous experience in another city?"

"Yeah."

"Do they have the graveyard shift if they're both in bed now?"

"Yep."

"Is this your baby? She's so cute!"

"This is Oki, my little cutie."

"I'm sure everyone's gonna think she's the sweetest thing! I guess this is an ideal place to hang out, since Kaiba and Mokuba are at work right now and you're usually stuck in that huge mansion all day."

The doorbell chimed and Misao placed a finger to her lips. "Tell them that we have sleeping people here and to keep the noise level to a minimum." 'Plus if they wake Itachi up, he'll be grumpy. And I don't want to deal with an irate husband right now.'

'Let alone what Sasuke would do if he's woken as well. Grumpy ninjas aren't something to trifle with.'

'Amen.'

Anzu opened the door and greeted, "Hey guys! We have to be quiet, her cousins have had a long night and are sleeping."

There was a shuffle as the group entered and removed their shoes. Yugi came in first, followed by the others. They all either sat or knelt around the living room, Shizuka joining Anzu and Misao on the floor when she saw Oki.

"She's just so cute, Misao-san!" the girl whispered excitedly, waving a finger in front of the baby's face. "I'm sure that Kaiba is proud of his daughter's looks."

"He fell in love with her the instant he saw her," Misao recalled with a smile, although it was a completely different memory with Nanase instead.

"Mokuba told me that he and Kaiba were scared to death when you fell right before you were supposed to give birth to twins. You had to go to a special hospital out of town to even save one and get proper treatment, and it took three months for you to heal before you came back. He also told me Kaiba didn't sleep for a week and had nightmares for the rest of the time," Yugi revealed to her, a troubled look on his face. "I saw him once during that time, and I truly thought you'd died or something, he looked so miserable."

'Here comes the guilt. I didn't know that Seto suffered so much in my absence. He didn't say a thing, but he's not one to speak about his weaknesses, even to me.'

'Itachi has that flaw as well. He wouldn't even tell you if he was sick or critically injured.'

"Yeah, I don't want to see Kaiba out of sorts again, it was annoying," Jonouchi growled and clenched his fists. "I couldn't even bear to smack him out of his funk, as much as I wanted to."

"I don't wanna see you so agitated again Jonouchi," Honda chimed.

"I'd wondered why Kaiba looked so horrible during our meetings," Otogi murmured as he twirled his hair. "He's usually so composed, I actually thought Mokuba had died and I asked him, but he told me nothing."

"It was an awkward time for us all," Ryo concluded.

'Wow, even Bakura was affected. I guess pretending to get hurt wasn't the kindest thing to do.'

'But if you hadn't, you would've been forced to live even more a lie with Oki being raised by a man who isn't her father and knowing that Itachi wasn't childless.'

'I see your point.'


A few hours passed and Misao sensed Itachi waking. 'I'm going to be in trouble if I don't get everyone out of here before he comes out. The lie would be busted if he shows any affection towards me, and I have no doubt he will.'

'Then let's get cracking, he doesn't take too long to wake up.'

"As long as I'd love to keep all of you over, I have things to do, so it's time for everyone to leave," Misao announced as she stood.

"Can't we help you?" Anzu offered. "I'm sure with more hands, we could get it done in no time."

"No, I'm fine, promise!"

With much nudging and assurances, the young adults left. She closed the door and sighed, just as Itachi opened the bedroom door and stepped out.

"Misao? Who was visiting?"

"Just some of my friends from around here. I thought you were still sleeping, so I had them leave."

He came over to her and gave her a peck on the lips. "Good morning, my love. Is breakfast ready?"

"It's on the table."

He nodded and she let out a silent sigh as she went over to Oki, who'd fallen asleep after such an ordeal of meeting many new people at once. Carefully wrapping the infant up in the blanket, Misao lifted her daughter up and carried her to the table, sitting down next to her husband.

"You slept well?"

"Yes. Sasuke should be waking as well."

Sasuke came out of his room and straight to the fridge. He took out the bottle of milk and was about to drink from it when Misao told him, "Don't drink out of the bottle."

He sighed and put the milk down before getting out a glass and pouring himself some. "You'd think I was living with my mother," he grumbled, then turned around to ask, "That woman Mazaki Anzu, is she a close friend of yours, since she said she was inviting all her other friends over and they didn't completely trash the place?"

"We've been through a lot while I visited here all those months, and all her friends are my friends, too. They're all around the same age except Shizuka, who's...eighteen now? They're not too rowdy unless there's a party, and I told them you guys were sleeping, so they kept their voices down. I'm actually second youngest in the group, all the rest of them are twenty-two or twenty-three."

"I heard the name 'Kaiba' from Mazaki-san before I fell asleep, who's that?"

"Kaiba Seto, CEO of Kaiba Corporation, the top gaming company in the country."

"It sounded like he's your friend, too."

"Not really, he's a loner and doesn't like making friends. The person closest to him is his younger brother, who's our age, Sasuke."

"Mokuba, if I heard right."

"Yeah."

Itachi listened to the conversation and asked, "Is this 'Kaiba Seto' anyone I have to worry about?"

Misao dodged by asking, "With you as a police officer, or as a—"

"As a romantic interest."

"No, of course not! You're the only man for me, Uchiha Itachi."

'All lies, of course.'

'As long as I'm with him, he is. It seems that it's "out of sight, out of mind" for me.'

'Pathetic excuses.'

"Which other friends of yours were visiting besides this 'Mazaki Anzu' Sasuke has mentioned?"

"Mutou Yugi, Jonouchi Katsuya, Honda Hiroto, Bakura Ryo, Otogi Ryuji and Kawai Shizuka."

'Of course, also the pharaoh, who's gone into the afterlife.'

'What's the point of mentioning him unless Yugi visits and mentions him while Sasuke or Itachi is listening?'

"Quite a few men, if they're as old as you say. Are you sure you never had a passing interest in one of them?"

"Why Itachi, I think you're jealous."

"What man wouldn't when he hears his wife's been spending time with men in close quarters?"

"It wasn't like that, I promise."

"Did you wear something like this when you were around them?"

"Of course not! Before I married you, you saw what I wore! Besides, all of them thought I was more like a kid than a woman!"

"Then why did you chase them out as soon as you sensed me waking?"

'He's got you there, Misao. What lie are you gonna cook up now?'

'I don't know! He's at maximum sensitivity to lies right now! He'll know the instant I do!'

'Well, think of something that's not exactly a lie quick!'

"I told you that you were my cousin, and cousins don't kiss each other like we do. They would've been uncomfortable with the display." 'That's as close to the truth as I can get.'

'Nice.'

"Why lie to them? You could've said we were married."

"Here cousins don't marry each other Itachi," she replied firmly. "They would've thought you were some sicko for marrying me and forcing me to have a baby. Especially since you're older than me by six years and I'm not even legally an adult until I'm twenty in this country. Rules here are very different and if you're not careful, we could get in big trouble." 'Not that Seto and me are much better, only that we're not related to each other by blood as well as marriage. He's five years older than me, after all. Actually, he can't introduce me as his wife to the public until I turn twenty in two years, since we did get married a year ago. The only reason my other friends know is because they were at the reception, even if I wore my veil the whole time.'

"She's right, Nii-san. I don't like that this place has different laws when it comes to adulthood, but I'm sure that if you don't mention you have a wife for two years, it should be all right," Sasuke put in.

Itachi looked frustrated, but he sighed and nodded. "We'll avoid speaking of the marriage to anyone, but what about Oki?"

"Let people think what they want. I'm not spreading lies to everyone about her parentage. I don't like doing that," Misao murmured, although it was a bold-faced lie.

"What about social functions? Surely I would bring my family to those."

"I'd leave Oki with a babysitter, or with a Shadow Clone. We're ninjas."

At that time, she took off her wedding ring and put it with the other one in her hidden shuriken hip holster. She sighed and bounced Oki, who was fussing a little as she woke from her nap. 'Keeping this up is going to be hard, especially if Seto and Itachi meet by accident and get talking.'


Don'tjinxitdon'tjinxitdon'tjinxit-DANG IT! It's jinxed. Once she said it, it'll happen, although when is the question! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
