Chapter 10: Secrets
Sasuke and Naruto woke up early, because the tension, gathered up in their minds was going to make them blow up. It was the day Tsunade arranged them a meeting with the higher-ups, so they can ask for Inaru's adoption. It was also the day they had to reveal they were together. That little talk with just a few people was going to determine their future. Almost no village tolerated the homosexual relationships, and the chances of them getting the child were less than 1%. The boys got ready, left the kid with Sumizome and were off on their way. Uzumaki's heart beat like crazy. He wanted to adopt Inaru and be with Uchiha more than anything in this world. Sasuke saw the pale face of his lover and ran his fingers gently trough the other's golden locks.
- Everything will be all right, you will see, my Kitsune.
- How can you be so sure? - even the blond's voice was fading away.
- Sasuke, Naruto – Tsunade came in front of the Hokage's office, looking really bad. It seemed the news weren't too good – The higher-ups will see you know... But mind your words, they aren't too happy about your wishes.
- Hai... - The males went inside and Shizune showed them the door they were supposed to go trough. Naruto couldn't open it, his body couldn't move. He didn't want to know that his dreams will be taken away, he couldn't loose the two things, that he lived for. Sasuke went in front of him and holding his hand walked inside. Three of Konoha's most elite ninja – Kakashi Hatake, Inoichi Yamanaka and Hiashi Hyuuga.
The two males sat down on two small chairs that were placed in front of a long table, behind which were the higher-ups. Both were nervous, but Naruto couldn't even sit at one place. His whole body was shaking, his mouth was dry.
- Uchiha Sasuke – soul survivor of the famous police clan – Hiashi stood up and pinned his white, frozen eyes in the two – And Uzumaki Naruto – our hero and container for the Nine Tailed demon fox... We have heard about your wishes for adopting the child, called Inaru... And there were even rumors that you two males are together as lovers. Is it true?
- Hai, Hyuuga-sama – the raven answered with a low voice.
- Then with what mind do you come here and ask us about adoption? We should sentence you to death just for being homosexuals.
- But, Hyuuga-sama!
- Silence! We have talked about this before your arrival and despite Hatake Kakashi's tries to make us think differently due to the fact that the votes were two against one we forbid you to adopt Inaru!
That was like a thunder for the two boys. Was this the end... Was it really going to be like this. Naruto clenched his fist and as Hiashi was getting ready to say something he stood up and slammed his arm on the table.
- WHY? Why are you taking away the only thing I ever dreamed of? You're ruining everything!
- Watch your mouth, Uzumaki!
- No! Why can't we adopt him? He already knows that our relationship is not right, but he accepts it! What if he can't have a female mother? I will play that role, I can do so... - the blond dropped on the floor, bowed, placing his head on the wooden ground, with tears falling gently on it – I beg of you... I need that child... We need him. Once I risked my whole life for the sake of this village... For the sake of our future, our children... Please let me help in the proper care for one of them, which I love as my own... Please... If not I will have to sentence my own self to death.
Everyone went silent. Hiashi's face was pale and frightened, Inoichi's too. Kakashi was smiling under that mask of his and being proud of his student, that he stood up for what he dreamed of. Sasuke was the most surprised of all. He never had seen this side of his lover's. Ready to give up on his own life for that child. He went next to his comrade and too bowed.
- If Naruto has decided to give up on life for Inaru, so will I.
After a few minutes Hiashi mumbled out something and the boys sat up. Inoichi stood up this time and smiled.
- You never seize to amaze me, Naruto-kun. We heard your and your teammate's words and thought about them. You have given so much for this village and so much for Uchiha-kun... So we would like to apologize and announce, that by the power, given to us, we allow the adoption of Inaru, who will be known from now on as an Uchiha.
The males couldn't believe it. They won. Naruto's tears started falling again, but these time they were ones of happiness. When they gout out they hurried to tell Tsunade the good news. She congratulated them and the couple went to take Inaru home. He was the most happiest one of all. After filling up some forms and papers it was official – The Uchiha clan now had another member. Sumizome helped the two get the child's luggage and they were off. The moment the boys got home they called Sakura for a few hours to look after Inaru, while they had some other plans. The two went in the bathroom to take a bath together. Naruto filled the tub with water, got undressed and went inside. Uchiha followed him, but except for relaxing the two wanted something else. The raven laid on top of the blond and pressed his cold lips against the other pair, slipping a wet tongue in the opening of the other's. Soon he moved to the ear and nibbed on it gently, movng lower and lower, resting on the tanned neck and giving it a few bites, before going to the nipples. Sasuke spend a lot of time sucking and playing with them, which earned him a lot of moans from Uzumaki. Soon the pale one started sucking hard and fast on his friend's member, which was pulsing from all the pleasure and attention it was getting. His climax came fast and Sasuke used the sperm as a lubricant, while pushing two fingers inside of Naruto. The blond was moaning louder and louder, feeling his heart will blow up any time soon. The two knew exactly what the other wanted right now, so Sasuke just positioned himself and entered Uzumaki, who yelled out loud and kissed his boyfriend. Pushing deep and fast into the small hot, wet and tight hole made Uchiha come fast, followed by his lover. The two smiled, got out of the bathroom and into their kimono's and joined their knew child.
At this time of the day the Akatsuki base was empty. Kayako and Kakuzu were training together. The girl was trying to perfect the control over her puppets and new techniques she was developing while the old man was helping her. When they decided to take a break Saeki blushed deep red when she saw him take off his forehead protector. Kakuzu noticed that, but decided not to say anything.
- Let me ask you something. - he sat next to her – You told Hidan the other day you were in love, right? When did that happen, you don't seem like that kind of girl.
- It was a long time ago... It doesn't matter anymore, everything was just a fling of mine – she had to lie... But that lie was not exactly a lie either. Her memories flooded her brain, but she tried thinking of something else. - I have no time for love right now, I must complete my mission.
- And what would that be... You know you never said why you were in Akatsuki. I know I am here, because the money we get are good and everyone knows the world revolves around cash.
- I have my reasons.
- I understand. By the way have you seen Hidan today?
- Ah he said he's gonna do some sort of ritual or something... I didn't pay attention to him.
- I see.
But this was far from the truth. The gray-haired young man had left the hideout early and was going straight to Konoha. He was going to find out what exactly that girl did to him the other day. He was lucky. Sumizome was in the woods, training her eyes with Hatake Kakashi. It seemed they were resting when Hidan came, so he decided to wait.
- You need to focus more on the paralyze effect, Sumizome. You can't afford to wait when you're in battle and you can't wait for the enemy to stand close to you.
- Hai, Kakashi-san. I will train harder.
- I know you will. Now I have to go, Tsunade-sama called me.
- Yosh. I will just train some more and wait for my brothers.
With that the man left and the young lady sat down to rest for a bit. Hidan decided to make his move. The girl heard noises behind the bushes, pulled out a kunai and jumped up.
- Who's there? Come out if you have the guts to that is!
Hidan slowly came out and stood before her. Hisakata's eyes widened her eyes and couldn't move.
- What are you doing here... If you're planning to attack Konoha I swear I will-
- Calm down, girl, I didn't come here for that... I... I just wanted to see you...
Sumizome blushed and took a step towards him, still holding the kunai up.
- Why...
- I... Well the other day... I wanted to... Just... Talk to you.
- I... wished I could see you too... actually... again.
They went silent. Both were blushing and had no idea what to say each other. They stood silently under the falling cherry blossom petals around them, blown by he wind. She felt like her heart was going to burst, his knees were shaking. Never before had Hidan seen such a perfect creature stand before him.
- If you want we can sit... I mean.
- Yeah...
They sat down on one of the fallen trees and looked at each other. Amethyst and Sapphires were shining in each other.
- Why did you stop the girl when she tried to kill me in the battle?
- I have no idea... When I looked at you... My body moved on it's own... It has never happened before... I... What's your name? I heard your family one, but-
- Sumizome... But call me Sumi... And you?
- H-hidan... Sumi... I- I... You're really beautiful...
Those words just came on it's own. They went silent. What could they say to each other? One was so gentle and caring and good, while the other one was the enemy, a foul-mouthed immortal inhuman. As he was going to say something yet again a voice was heard from the distance, calling out Sumi's name. She jumped up and her face turned pale.
- My brothers... Hidan you have to go!
- But... I wanna see you again!
- I... t-tomorrow... the same time, the same place!
- Hai.
With that he was gone. When Misuto and Kuragari arrived Sumizome pretended to train. But for the first time she felt happy, she felt... maybe love...
At around 1am Sai left the village. He ran trough the deep forest and stopped in front of a large oak tree. From it's body a man, covered up with a cloak came out and stood before the Konoha ninja.
- I hope what you called me here for is worth it.
- It is... When we are talking about the capture of the Nine Tailed jinchuuriki... and Uchiha's death.
The young male's eyes shined under the moonlight, he didn't care about anything else, but revenge.
