I'm going to make this short because I'm supposed to be in bed right now. Sorry this is so late I've been really busy lately plus school's kicking my ass.

I don't own Naruto.

Enjoy.


After Katerina's incident with Itachi she decided to go outside to gather her thoughts. When she did she was nearly tripped by a familiar black fur ball. "Kuroki you are still here!" She said in surprise. Said cat meowed and pawed at her foot. "Hmm, maybe you can help me boy. I'm confused on how I feel about Itachi. How about you, do you think I should trust him?" The cat meowed and ran over by a tree where he sat down next to something. When Katerina approached him she saw that it was a photo. She knelt down and picked it up. When she did she gasped. "This is…" She trailed off looking at the picture of her and Itachi when they were sixteen. It was the one Shisui had taken. "But…I left this in my room that night. Did he take it?" She asked herself. Kuroki meowed and she scratched his ears. "I'm still not sure boy, but you seem pretty sure about me trusting him don't you?" Kuroki just meowed again.

Katerina put the picture in her pocket. She'd ask about it later.


Two weeks later Konan went to look for Katerina when she didn't come to the common room at the usual time. When she found her she was sitting on her bed with her face in her hands. "Katerina, are you okay?"

Katerina looked up with tear streaks on her face. "Konan…I need a favor." She said miserably.

"What is it?" She asked concerned for her friend.

"I…I need you to get me a pregnancy test." She said looking back down and clenching her fist.

"What, how Katerina I thought…" Konan started but was cut off.

"I thought so too, especially after what happened in those torture sessions, but I was proven wrong before. I'm afraid I might be again." She said tears falling again.

"But who…" Konan stopped in realization. "Oh god no."

Katerina nodded. "That was the only other time." She whispered.

"What signs have you had?" Konan asked her.

"I'm late, and morning sickness." Katerina said.

Konan sighed. "I really hope this is just a scare, but I'll get a test for you."

"Thank you Konan, in the mean time don't say anything." She said. "I don't need it to read certain ears."

Konan looked at her friend sadly. "Katerina if you are…what are you going to do?"

"I don't know Konan. I really don't."


It had been two weeks since Itachi's run in with Katerina, and he hadn't talked to her since. Kisame on the other hand had been having rather random conversations with her when they were caught in the common room together. "You know, I actually feel rather bad about how I treated her. She's a cool person when you get to know her." He told his partner.

"Hn," Itachi muttered. "She tends to have that effect with people. They either end up her friend or hating her. Hidan's a good example of the later."

"Itachi I don't know what you did, but you need to talk to her." Kisame told him. "I can understand why you wouldn't want to, but running from it won't help anything."

"Kisame," Itachi said.

"Yeah, yeah I know. I'll stop." Kisame said waving a dismissive hand at his partner.

"Hn," Itachi said shutting his eyes as his partner left. He sighed. 'I don't know how to talk to her anymore.'


Madara walked through the hallway when he came across Konan. He stopped her. "Konan, Katerina's been acting strange lately. Do you know why?" He asked as they passed each other. Both stopped neither looking at the other.

"No, I don't." She said calmly.

"Strange, because you seem to be the one she goes to for help." He said.

"Well she hasn't said anything." Konan said starting to walk again. Madara finally turned and caught her wrist holding where she was as she glared back at him.

"I'm no fool Konan, I know you're hiding something and I will find out what." He told her coldly.

"Let go of me." She hissed and he did.

"Tell Katerina she should watch her back." He said walking away.

Konan watched him still glaring at his back. 'Someday someone will take you down.' She thought. 'I only hope I'm there to see it.'


Katerina walked down the hall slowly lost in her thoughts. She didn't notice the shadow looming around the corner as she passed it. Someone grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth. "Don't move," A sickeningly familiar voice said and she felt a kunai against her stomach. "Or I will end your life."

"W-what do you want?" She stuttered when he removed his hand.

"I want to know why you've been acting so strange." He told her.

"Nothing, I'm just overly stressed from what's been happening." She told him.

He scowled and pulled her around the corner and into a room. He forced her head back and moved the blade to her throat. "Let's try this again." He said the edge biting into her skin. "What happened?"

"Why do you care Tobi?" She asked him. "You want me dead so why are you so worried?"

"It's because so long as you're alive you are part of this organization, and any disadvantages you have directly affect it." He hissed. "Now spill before I spill your blood."

"Why don't you just kill me? I know you want to, so why do you keep letting me live?" She asked struggling on his hold. "Actually, you could kill me even if I did tell you."

"I could, but I've learned how you work Katerina. Even when you know that, you'll still talk in the end." He said cutting the blade tip into her neck. She gasped. "Every time you avoid the question I'll cut further. Eventually I will cut your throat and you will die."

She shut her eyes. "I hate you." She hissed. "You really want to know fine, I think I'm pregnant." She said monotonously.

His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Whose is it?" He growled.

"Who do you think?!" She asked pushing the kunai away and turning towards him. "You're the only person here who's touched me." She hissed.

"Well," He said. "That almost makes this interesting." He pushed her against the wall and whispered in her ear. "If it is true don't even think about getting rid of it. Otherwise I'll take your son from you too." He said pushing away and leaving the room. Katerina remained leaning against the wall with tears streaking her face.


Konan walked down to Pein's office and knocked on the door. After she heard "come in" she opened the door and shut it behind her. "Konan, what is it?"

"I need permission to leave the hideout." Konan told her partner.

"Why?" Pein asked.

"I need to buy a pregnancy test." Pein's eyes snapped up to his partner. "Not for me." She said quickly. "It's for Katerina."

It took a second for Pein to understand, but once he did he nodded. "Go ahead." He said.

"Thank you Pein." Konan said leaving the office.


Katerina walked down the hall back to the room she and Konan shared. The tears were still falling and she was trying desperately to not run into anyone on her way there, but as always fate seemed to hate her.

"Katerina, what's wrong?" A familiar voice said.

"Damn it." She muttered. "It's nothing Itachi." She said louder so he could hear.

"Katerina, I know it isn't nothing." He said walking up to her. "You're crying." He wiped away some of her tears with his thumb. He looked at her neck and his eyes narrowed. "And bleeding." He finished touching her neck.

Katerina jerked away. "I said it's nothing." She said not making eye contact.

"Katerina, just…" Itachi started but didn't get to finish.

"Don't you dare say 'just trust me.' I already told you there is no chance that will ever happen again." She said irritated. "I know what you said Itachi, but I'm afraid of being hurt again. I don't know of any way you could regain my trust."

"There may be one way Katerina, but I'm not willing to use it." Itachi said putting a hand on her shoulder. Katerina jumped at the contact since she had her back to him. Itachi found this odd but didn't say anything.

"Even if you gained my trust Itachi, that doesn't mean my feelings would come with it." Katerina said.

"I thought I still had them." He replied turning her so she faced him.

"What makes you so sure?" She asked him staring in his eyes.

"Because you kissed me back." He answered setting his forehead on hers.

She shut her eyes at the contact. "Please don't…" She whispered.

"Why?"

She opened her eyes again. "Because I couldn't take it." She sighed. "I think I'm pregnant Itachi. Regardless of how impossible it should be, I have all the signs."

Itachi pulled back shocked. "So I guess what you said was true then. I really don't have a chance do I?" He turned to walk away.

"Itachi…"

"Don't Katerina, just leave it." He said as he started to walk away.

Katerina clenched her fist before shouting "I never said it was consensual!"

Itachi stopped suddenly and turned around. "What?"

Katerina took a deep breath before answering. "I was raped Itachi." She said looking down.

Itachi grit his teeth and punched the wall next to him. "That bastard!"

Katerina continued to look down not making eye contact. "I didn't want to tell you."

He went over and lifted her chin so she would look at him. "You should have."

She shook her head. "How could I? Look at us Itachi, we're the most messed up pair of people anyone's ever seen."

He wrapped his arms around her and she set her head on his chest feeling the familiar security that came from being around him. "Even so, I want to mend our bond Katerina." He told her setting his head on hers.

"Me too," She admitted. "I always have. I was just afraid."

He tilted her head up. "Don't be." He whispered before gently pressing his lips to hers. Neither were aware of the two shadows watching them.


"Well that took long enough." Kisame said to the blue haired Kunoichi next to him.

Konan nodded. "Hopefully Katerina won't be so depressed anymore."

"Yeah, and Itachi will go back to his normal self again." Kisame added.

'Now there's only the issue of Madara.' Konan thought.


Konan found Katerina later and gave her the test she had bought. Katerina took it and then waited through the longest three minutes of her life. When it was through she looked at it and jumped on Konan with a hug. "It's negative." She cried. "It's negative."

It turned out she had a slight irregularity and a stomach bug. She ran to tell Itachi. She had never been happier.


Katerina had gradually been growing closer to Itachi again. However one day she went to his room to find him but he wasn't there. He left his pouch that he didn't let anyone in sitting on his bed, and Katerina being her snoopy self decided to look inside curiously.

When she opened it the first thing she saw was the ANBU seal on a document. Raising an eyebrow she pulled the paper out and looked at it. It was an old mission order. As she read she realized it was dated just before the massacre. She read further, and when she got to what the actual order was she dropped the paper and covered her mouth with her hands.

Member: Itachi Uchiha

Date: January 9th

Mission: Annihilation of the Uchiha Clan

"Oh my god." She whispered.

Just then the doorknob turned and Itachi entered. He looked at Katerina, then the paper, then back at her. "Itachi…I…"

He sighed. "You were bound to find out eventually, I just didn't expect it to be like this."

"Itachi, what is this?" She asked him.

"Exactly what it says, the massacre, it was an order Katerina." He said. "It wasn't my choice."

"Why, why would they order this?" She asked. "How could they order this?"

"My father and the other higher ups of the clan were planning a coup d'état. It was the only way they could be stopped. If it hadn't been done then a civil war would have broken out. The clan would have died either way." He said sadly.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" She asked. Her unspoken question was understood. 'Why didn't you tell me?'

"It would have been easier if you hated me. I never expected to see you again."

"Things could have been different if you had told me." Katerina said. "I could have gone with you."

"I couldn't do that to you." He said.

"Did it ever occur to you that you hurt me by not taking me with you?" She asked as tears started to fall down her face. "You left me alone with a nearly unbearable burden."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Kitai," She said looking away from him. "My son Itachi." She took a shaky breath. "He's yours."

Itachi's face showed nothing but shock. "How, we only…"

"That one night was all it took." She said. "You nearly killed us both."

Itachi wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry Katerina." He said. "I'm so sorry."

"I love you." Katerina said shocking both of them with her words, but she knew they were true. "I never stopped loving you."

Itachi held her closer. "I love you too." He whispered.


I hope you all enjoyed this. I made it extra long to make up for the wait. So things have pretty much caught up with the two of them now, which means things will start to pick up.

Review keep me happy, motivated, and writing.

See ya.
