lostmoonchild: Yay! Two reviews were left and I finally got this chapter done. So far for the poll it's fifty-fifty between boy/girl and girl/girl but the twin idea is still in the lead. Incase somebody's confused with Haku and Sanyu thinking that they're having only one baby and me suggesting twins, it is possible for a smaller twin to hide behind the larger twin. There was an interview a few years ago where these parents were expecting and one of the babies hide behind their brothers and sisters. Um, that's basically it unless someone has a question that they want me to answer or has an idea that they'd like to see.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or anything else unless I say otherwise so no suing me.


Chapter Eight

-Hari's POV-

Every voice in my head screamed for me to kill her and to steal what grew within her womb. It was my brother's, the voices reasoned, and it would know me as its mother. All I would need to do was wait one month to ensure the baby would live. Babies could survive easily after eight months in the womb and she had to be around seven months along. Just one month and it would be mine.

He had said they didn't want to know their baby's sex. Why would they want something like that to be a surprise? Didn't they want to discuss how they'd raise the child? What if the child had some deformity that couldn't be forgiven? What if the child were to be blind or deaf or even retarded? What then? Had they even had a genetic testing done to look for any problems that may arise?

No, she'd take the child and then she could teach the child how to take what they wanted by force. Everything that her brother would surely be too afraid to teach the child would be her lessons. She'd make the child see the true ways of the world instead of the world that she knew Naruto wanted to create through his little talks of peace.

A snarl left her lips as she thought about the blonde Hokage. He wouldn't take the kidnapping of Haku's soon-to-be-bride and the Uchiha child lightly. He'd be sending out as many ANBU operatives as he could afford and Haku would more than likely tell him that they had one month before Sanyu died. If she took the child before the month was up then she could just give Konoha the Suna wretch's corpse and be on her way with the kid.

I stared at Sanyu with absolute hatred and saw my hatred being reflected back towards me. Her hand was protectively placed over her belly as she glared at me. If she had weapons then she would have used them on me the first moment she had but I caught her coming out of the hospital. Everyone saw but they couldn't report what they didn't remember. I learned as a child to never leave witnesses.

They would all need to die.

Haku would realize soon enough what I had done and he'd be working to correct it even though I knew he had no such ability. He'd use his Sharingan instead just to correct what our mother's bloodline ability had done so they'd need to die before he could do such a thing to stop me.

My fingers tangled in my dark hair as I watched her, my palm pressing against my forehead. How I hated her and at the same time I envied her for what she had that I did not. A child was growing within her while my own womb was empty. Why did she have what I deserved? Why did people give her what I needed and she didn't? All that wretch had done was show up and bat her fucking eyelashes at him and then Haku was hers!

"Hari, please. Just let us go." Us. She was referring to that little bastard in her stomach.

"No!"

She flinched when I threw a plate at her and watched with satisfaction as she twisted to cover her head and stomach. When she looked at me there were tears on her face. "Why are you doing this?" Sanyu asked tearfully. She'll blame the hormones but I know she's afraid.

I screamed and hit the wall, ignoring the warm blood that appeared when the skin tore. "Why not!" I screamed at her. "You have everything! I wasn't given a damn thing in my entire life and you come along and take everything that I had left!"

My heart pounded against my chest as I glared hatefully at her. She doesn't know nor does she even understand. She doesn't give a fuck who she hurts as long as she gets everything she wants. That'll change though. Haku won't find her in a month so I'll be free to kill her and take the baby for myself.

She just doesn't know it yet.

Gasps reached my ears as I ran my hands over Giro's body and rubbed my hands over the hardening bulge in his pants. Granted I had wanted my former teammate but his little brother was just as good. Built much better too but time may have increased his… girth.

"Love me." I tell him. "I don't want to be gentle."

His nails dig into my arms as he tears our clothes and throws me onto the bed. Deep within his eyes I can see the disgust and hatred that burns within him. He hates me with a passion and it's easy to pretend that hatred is something else entirely. His eyes are so dark that it's easy to get lost in them and pretend that it's my brother's eyes looking at me. One day I'll have him and I'll have the means to keep him with me forever and ever.

-End POV-

-Haku's POV-

A strangled cry of pain left my lips as I felt my leg cramp up and sent me flying to the ground. "Damn it!" I shouted angrily as I struggled to get back up.

"Haku, that's enough."

I stopped when I heard Sasuke's voice and looked at him, seeing the frown on his face and look in his dark eyes. "Hari's got her!" I shouted at him. "She's going to kill Sanyu if I don't get to her!"

"Enough! You're acting like a child!"

Sasuke's words pierced through my very being as I look at Sasuke with a combination of fury and shame. Hari's actions are hurting him too but he's not running off like an idiot trying to stop her. He shouldn't be worrying about what I'm going to do when he's worrying about his wife and children… and the rest of our family as well as the village. Someone could argue that my sister's betrayal was an indication that the Uchiha clan wasn't ready to be trusted by the village and Sasuke was busy preparing himself for the argument that I was fairly certain would be coming. "Sasuke…" I whispered.

Sasuke moved towards me and knelt before me like he had often done when Hari and I were children. "Haku, what help can you provide when you can barely even walk?" Sasuke questioned. "Do you honestly think that you can help anybody in your current state?"

I looked away from him for a minute before answering, "Did you know that Hiroki Inuzuka came to me this morning? He wanted to know how to help his brother and I told him that he couldn't lose hope. Giro might be able to break free but I don't think that Hari will loosen her grip on him."

I stiffened when Sasuke touched my head, his eyes gentle. "Haku, we'll find a way to help Sanyu and Giro. We'll even find a way to stop your sister but we need to figure out how to stop your sister's jutsu from destroying your leg."

As if agreeing with Sasuke's words my leg throbs painfully. "I don't think that I can walk." I told my uncle. "My leg cramped up pretty good."

A soft chuckle left Sasuke's lips as he carefully took my leg and massaged the muscles. "We'll find a way." Sasuke said patiently before looking surprised when he carefully applies some chakra to help my leg muscles relax. "What in the hell?"

"What?" What's going on? What's making him so anxious now?

He helps me up and we hurry back to the village. "Sakura! Take a look at Haku's leg." Sasuke orders as soon as we get to Naruto's office.

My pant leg is pulled up before Sakura can get to me and I stare in amazement at what been a mess earlier that day. "Does it hurt at all?" Sakura questioned as she moved my leg.

"No." What in the hell? Had her jutsu somehow failed after some time?

A chill went through my body as I felt Sakura's chakra working its way into my muscle tissue and I watched her face with great care. "It's not possible." Sakura said finally. "I mean, I've seen Naruto's body repair itself after an injury like this but…" She looks at Sasuke. "You're absolutely certain that their mother didn't put a demon in him?"

Just what in the hell was she thinking? "I know she didn't." Sasuke replied.

"What's going on?" Naruto asked finally.

Sakura sighed a little before responding, "I don't know how to explain it but somehow Haku's body's developing an immunity towards Hari's jutsu and is repairing the damage inflicted at a rate that Kyuubi would possibly envy. I'll need to watch him for a couple of days but-"

"No! We have only a month to find her!" I shout at them. "She'll kill Sanyu and I know she'll take the baby!"

"Haku!"

I stop at the tone of Sasuke's voice, not wanting to anger my uncle for any reason. "Haku, let your aunt watch your recovery for two days. I've already sent out some shinobi to find Sanyu and they have orders to drag Hari back here dead or alive." Naruto said with a solemn look. "I didn't give a preference regarding Hari's state."

Would it be cruel of me to ask that my sister be brought back alive so that I could see her one final time before she was executed? She's be killed in front of the entire village, a punishment that no shinobi who had betrayed their village and had been captured escaped. My father escaped only because my sister wanted our father to live but for what? So she could kill him while he slept only a few short years later?

If it had been me that had betrayed the village then would Hari beg for my life? Would she beg for me to be given a private execution to spare my pride or would she remain silent and watch as my pride was forever shattered? No, I wouldn't give my sister the sympathy she deserved. If she was brought back to the village alive then she wouldn't be given a public execution. I'd kill her myself and accept the repercussions of my deeds.

Until then I would need to do what I was being told to. I would need to wait patiently for two days while my aunt examined my leg's repair before I went hunting for the one who had lost hope within darkness.

Anyway, there's another chapter for you guys and please spare a few seconds to leave a review. There's even a poll regarding Haku and Sanyu's baby/babies so don't forget to leave you opinion!
