I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own Naruto. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.

The next day, I woke up to find Kabuto sitting in a chair across the room.
"What the hell are you doing in my bedroom?" I asked him, not bothering to cover my mouth as I yawned.
He lifted up a basket. "Finally you're up. I brought you some fruit. That should make a descent breakfast, right?" he asked.
I was surprised. I hadn't expected that he would do such a…kind gesture. This only made me even more suspicious.
"Thanks," I said slowly, "Now can you leave so I can get ready for the day?"
He smirked, but walked out of the room.
When I was finished with my usual bout of morning sickness, I walked out into the kitchen. And there was Kabuto, slicing up fruit and putting them decoratively on a plate.
"Um, you know that's a waste of time," I said, talking about the way he was putting them on the plate, "I'm just gonna eat it, you know."
"Yeah," he said, "But I might as well make it look pleasing to the eye. In a normal situation, a person would consider something that looked nice to be better tasting."
"Huh," I said, not caring about this random fact, "But I'm not a normal person in a normal situation. I could care less what it looked like and more about how much I can eat."
He laughed a little. "That reminds me a lot of Naruto. I had to study each of the ninja associated with the Chuunin exams, you know. I'm sure he could care less about looks as well."
I just grunted when he set the plate in front of me. Hoping he wouldn't notice, I inspected the plate. It did look amazing, the pattern he did with the apples, kiwis, pears, and strawberries.
"Like what you see?" he asked, smirking.
I glared at him. "Just making sure it's not poisoned," I retorted.
He rolled his eyes and walked out to the family room type thing.
I had to deal with Kabuto being there for a few more days.
"Won't Orochimaru be suspicious with you gone all the time?" I asked one day.
"Not really," he said, "I do odd jobs all the time. And most of the time, he doesn't question me. It's true that I've been gone longer than usual this time…I suppose I should head back today. I've only gone back when you're asleep."
Yep, he was definitely my very own, personal stalker.
"Well, then," he said and walked toward me, "I guess I'll be going now. See you."
With that said, he swiftly kissed me on the cheek before disappearing.
I was in total shock. My hand had gone to the cheek without me knowing it. It wasn't just because he kissed me that I was frozen.
No, I had been expecting he'd make some sort of move eventually. I just didn't think it'd be so soon.
Not to mention, he had kissed me so softly. Considering his character, I guess it shouldn't have surprised me so much.
But the thing with Kabuto was that he had a double personality type of thing. If he wanted, he could be nice or he could be mean. If it was neither, he would just use logic in order to talk.
It was that reason that I disliked him so much. It wasn't just because he hung around with Orochimaru. Nobody should really judge based on who a person hung out with.
Now he was using his surprising kindness to get on good terms with me. If he was doing what I suspected, then he was probably trying to lead me away from Sasuke.
Yay, now I feel unfaithful. Sheesh, I hate that guy.
Shaking myself out of my state of shock, I got up from the makeshift couch and went into the kitchen. It was about time I should make myself some lunch.
As I was making my food, I heard the trees rustling outside. I thought it was Kabuto, so I didn't pay attention.
"Hey, I'm back."
I turned around on the spot to see a tired looking Sasuke walk through the back door.
Ah, crap! When that bastard kissed me, I completely forgot about my worries about the baby and of facing Sasuke!
"What's wrong? No hug?"
I stood there trembling.
