There were many glorious things about having a Soon-to-be-Wife. Such as random kisses, random blowjobs, random sex, having somebody to always back you up. It was nice being able to return home and see somebody that was mostly always happy to see him. Tayuya also offered Naruto something that he didn't even know he needed. Structure. She provided him with a set of rules that he actually wanted to follow.
"Oh god, I'm going to...!"
And then there were inglorious things as well; finding out that neither of them wanted to cook was one, that Tayuya did actually poop was another. Going shopping for lady-care products didn't help, and Tayuya's predilection towards frugality and money grubbing made it all the more difficult. Although that last one had actually helped a lot. He had savings now! Savings!
Adding to that list was holding her hair back while she spewed vomit off of the side of the boat. Naruto rubbed the base of his palm in small circles on her back, getting a grunt of approval. "I can't believe you get sea sick."
Tayuya glared at Naruto for a second, she lurched and gave a sharp cough, expelling saliva into the ocean. For a moment she stared at the rough waters, and with a swallow, she stuck her tongue out in an attempt to air out the taste. "This is all your fault by the way."
"How's it my fault?" Naruto lifted her hair up higher and allowed it to fall from his hand like a river of red. With a slow, deliberate motion, Naruto snaked his hands around her waist, pulling her up into a hug. His cheek brushed against hers as they both looked out into the empty blue of the ocean.
What little fight Tayuya had in her died. The bastard was learning too quick. With a weak frown, she jabbed Naruto's stomach with her elbow. "You just had to go get a prophecy from a wrinkly ass grandfather frog that was probably higher than a kite by licking his own juices, that said oh you're going to get trained by octopussy to help you master the Kyuubi and that a violent little redhead was going to be there too. So yes, this is your fault."
Naruto gave a soft laugh and kissed her on the cheek. "You sure you're not just mad that it interrupted our date?"
"I want my flowers dammit," Tayuya pouted and tried to move her head out of Naruto's kissing range. The boat gave a sudden jerk that left her stomach floating. She was in control, she wasn't going to puke again—Nope, that wasn't staying down. Unhooking herself from Naruto's arms, Tayuya gripped the railing with white knuckled fury and began to vomit. "I don't remember eating this much!"
"I do," Naruto said with a smile on his face. He was quick to pull Tayuya's hair back to avoid staining it with puke. With a long gentle stroke, he felt her hair, even when gross from sweat and salt it was still so beautiful. "What would you do with flowers anyways? We don't have a vase."
Tayuya gave one last spit to get the taste out of her mouth. She glared out at the sea, her bottom jaw protruded forward slightly. It was the kind of look reserved for bastards that woke her up from a good sleep. Her face snapped back and she twisted around pressing her butt against the railing and looking Naruto in the eyes. "I'd show them to all the single girls, I'd start with Pinkie because she's a jealous bitch and it would be funny, then the Platinum Bimbo saying that receiving flowers is so much better than selling them. Lastly, I'd take them to Miss Eeeps-a-Lot's grave because she'd be dead on the inside."
"You are such a horrible person." Naruto stepped to the side placing his back to the ocean as well. He grabbed Tayuya's hip and pulled her close.
With a slap to his chest, Tayuya rested her head on Naruto's shoulder. "Yep, I even got an Idiot like you to fall in love with me."
"If you weren't all gross from puking I'd kiss you."
"Well you kiss me when I have your cum in my mouth, how's my puke any different?"
"Such a horrible person."
Tayuya smiled at that one. She felt Naruto's hand with hers. It was larger and more coarse than her own, it'd be hard for him to play a flute with those. "So Grandfroggy's vision was about you getting trained to control the Kyuubi?"
"Mmmhmm," Naruto nodded as a blast of wind knocked a bunch of Tayuya's hair past his face. He watched as her smile slowly faded. Why was she so sad? Wasn't him learning to control the Kyuubi a good thing? That way she'd just have to play her flute for fun. Squeezed her shoulder closer. "Don't worry, I'll still need you no matter what."
A growl came from Tayuya's stomach. She shook her head quickly and brushed out of Naruto's embrace. "What? No, I'm not worried about that I'm hungry?"
Naruto's face twisted and he tilted his head to the side ever so slightly. "You're hungry?"
"Yea, I just spent the whole morning puking! Of course I'm hungry!" Tayuya took a step back and pointed towards her stomach.
Naruto blinked twice and tapped his chin. "That makes sense.. I'm sure we're almost there, though!"
The boat groaned and shook violently. A massive tentacle swept in with a splash of seawater, soaking Naruto and snatching Tayuya up. It wrapped around her waist, squeezing one arm against her side while the other dangled helplessly about.
"What the fuck is this hentai bullshit!" Tayuya screamed as the tentacle thrashed her about like a horrible roller coaster ride. With her free arm, she began to viciously punch at the rubbery flesh with little effect.
"Great job Tayuya! You found the Octopus that's supposed to teach me."
Tayuya had a moment of clarity as she was flung around like a play thing. She was going to marry that idiot. She felt like puking again. "This is calamari, you idiot!"
Three things happened after that. Tayuya vomited again. She realized that Naruto didn't know what calamari was. And the squid dragged her underwater.
XXXX
Tayuya shivered on the deck of the ship completely soaked from the cold ocean. Like a wet angry kitten, she somehow managed to glare at the entire world while still invoking a sense of pity. The majority of her hatred was directed towards the giant squid that wanted to eat her and her idiot fiancé that was going to have to eat her to make up for this. "Oi Loverboy, give me your jacket."
"My jacket? Why?" Naruto asked he examined his jacket closely. Maybe there was something on it that Tayuya wanted.
With a growl Tayuya snapped away from Naruto, her wet hair sending a whip of water at his face. She looked up at the giant ox-octopus thing that had just saved her life while her own glorious white-knight stood on the deck like an idiot. She pointed towards the eight tails with a shivering hand. "I guess you want that guy to see my tits?"
"Killer Bee ain't gonna lie, see'n your rack be pretty fly." The great ox said in a voice that did not belong to it.
Naruto was quick to take off his jacket and give it to Tayuya after that. "Fine fine, here."
Tayuya's wet top smacked hard onto the deck. She allowed herself to smile into the warmth of Naruto's jacket and his jealous streak. It felt like she was floating inside of a toaster, Naruto's jacket was long enough that she could probably wear it as a dress. "Thanks Loverboy, and the next time I get grabbed by a giant animal, throw me a fucking kunai."
"Isn't that how Shikamaru beat you? Why don't you..." Naruto's sentence slowed to a crawl as Tayuya glared at him, challenging him to continue talking. He did not want to find out what the reward would have been. "Shutting up."
"Pinkie owes me five bucks, you can learn." Tayuya spun on her heels and pointed towards the Giant squid carcass. "Alright Octopussy, drag that thing to shore. I want calamari for dinner."
XXXX
The next morning Tayuya awoke to several things. One, Naruto was holding onto her breasts for dear life. Two, they were both naked. Three, she needed to puke. Right now. Four, there was no bathroom in the room that she and Naruto were given, by Molio or whatever his name was.
"Gonna hurl!" Tayuya shouted as she left the bed in a hurry, dragging Naruto halfway into the room. In all her naked glory Tayuya slammed open the door while trying to hold in the oncoming stomach fluids in her mouth. The bathroom happened to be directly across from their room. She barely made it in time before whatever was in her stomach took the express exit through her mouth.
"Tayuya?" Naruto asked half-way into pants and half awake. He walked forward to witness Tayuya clutching a toilet for dear life as ungodly fluids poured from her mouth. Draping his jacket over her shoulders, Naruto pulled Tayuya's hair back. "You sure you're not sick?"
"Piss off." Tayuya's voice echoed from inside the toilet bowl. She coughed and heaved again before her stomach contents exited her again. Squid did not taste the same coming up as it did going down. "If I'm sick, you would be sick too!"
"Then why are you still seasick? We're not on a boat!"
A bang and a shuffle came from the open door. An arm from Molio waved from the side. He gave a small cough. "Genbu is a moving island, it is not unheard of for genin to get seasick when they come here."
Tayuya groaned and brought her face out of the toilet long enough to glare at Molio's arm. "Thanks for the update Molio, now make it stop."
"Umm... my name is Motoi, and I don't really have control over Genbu."
"Whatever." Any fight in Tayuya vanished as her stomach reemerged. "I didn't eat this much!"
Naruto rolled his eyes and rubbed small circles on Tayuya's back. "Yes, you did."
"Piss off Loverboy! Just go find Octopussy and make him train you so we can get off this rock!" Tayuya shrugged her shoulder hard towards Naruto, removing his hand. To hell with what her real mission was, she wanted off of this damn rock! Besides, even if she wanted to, there was no way that she could stop Naruto if he mastered the Nine-Tails.
That and she wanted to be on the battlefield, she had a few tricks up her sleeves.
Naruto stood up and frowned. "Are you sure you're okay? Shouldn't I like stay with you if you're sick?"
"I'll be fine, I just need to puke up my stomach, and then I'll be fine," Tayuya mumbled into the toilet. Where was Pinkie when she could actually be useful?
"Are you sure?"
Tayuya breathed in sharply through her nose. "Fuck it! I'm adding Sai to the harem, he's girly enough we can both enjoy him!"
"Hey-wait, what?!"
"I would say Pinkie because she's a butch enough that I could enjoy her, but then again she probably actually wants you more than me."
"Stop puking words! I'm going, I'm going sheesh."
Tayuya chuckled and rested her cheek against the seat of the toilet. "Kick his ass Loverboy. I'm keeping your jacket, though."
"Yea yea, have fun hugging the Porcelain Throne, Princess." Naruto waved his hand as he went back to their room. "Remind me to never take you on a boat again."
More barf answered him.
XXXX
With the midday sun and a half day's ration sitting happily inside of her stomach, Tayuya felt fantastic. She walked through the thick forest of Genbu with relative ease in Naruto's jacket. She was swimming in it, with its sleeves completely swallowing her hands and the bottom reaching just low enough that she could wear it as a daring dress.
She traced her fingers along the rocky cliff face as she followed the path Motoi had given her. In the back of her mind, Tayuya knew that she should tell Naruto about the war soon. Just as soon as he mastered the Kyuubi. Then she'd tell him, and they would go to the war and fight for their future. She was just lucky she managed to convince Tsunade that it'd be easy to keep Naruto here if they didn't have a body guard.
Tayuya smiled when she happened upon Naruto sitting in a meditative stance on a small patch of grass surrounded by water. Minutes passed as she stood there watching him, it was the most still she had ever seen him. Even when he was asleep he moved more than this. Her teeth dragged along her bottom lip as she let out a long sigh. "Future huh?"
She walked forward, there was no knowing what was waiting for them in the war. But she would be there with Naruto every step of the way. And they would succeed. And they would worry about what comes after when it came to that. There was no fighting the smile the appeared on her face as she stepped across the water to Naruto.
For a moment she was able to stand there watching him. Then his eyes snapped open, his hand grabbed her arm, he pulled her down onto his lap. He kissed her suddenly with all the heat and passion he could muster.
Tayuya smiled into the kiss, she wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck and held him tight against her. These were her favorite kisses—where Naruto took them without asking when he was in power, and she was completely helpless to his desires. But only because they were so rare.
Naruto broke the kiss slowly like he was crawling out of bed on the weekends. He hugged Tayuya tightly, kissing her neck softly. "I love you."
"That's a good thing Loverboy," Tayuya mewled when Naruto kissed her softly on that spot on her neck. She felt his teeth and gasped. His small love bite caused her to kick her legs squealing for just a moment. With a hard push, she pulled Naruto away from her neck.
She looked into his eyes for what seemed like an eternity that ended all too soon. He had changed, in the smallest of ways he was different. She kissed him, sucking on his top lip slightly as she sandwiched it between hers. A small smile turned into a small laugh as she rested her forehead against his. "So what were you doing out here?"
"I was conquering my inner self," Naruto said plainly. He blinked and scratched the back of his head. "Well not really, I kind of embraced him too I guess, you helped a lot too."
"And how did I help exactly?" Tayuya leaned back and shook her hair free. It looked like wildfire with the light's reflection making her glow. "I just got here."
Naruto's face twisted into a small frown. "I.. well, the thing is...Oh, I know, why don't you try to conquer your inner self? All you have to do is sit here and then they show up!"
"I was alone in a prison cell for three years Naruto. Trust me lover boy, I'm as me as I can get." Tayuya brought up her finger and pressed hard on Naruto's nose. "Besides, I'm not the one that has a giant demon inside me that wants to eat me."
Naruto shook his head back and tried to bite Tayuya's finger. He missed and she bopped him on the nose again. "I think the Kyuubi would be more than happy to eat you, he's not a big fan of you."
Tayuya laughed. "You make sure to tell Clifford that I'm shaking in my panties."
"Yo, Say ho!" the off-beat rhythms of Killer bee echoed into the small clearing as he walked in, Motio followed close behind him with his shoulders held high. "You chillin with little red, you conquer the fool in your head?"
Naruto shot up, forcing Tayuya to do a flip or fall backward. His face was flushed and he gave a quarter smile. "I uhh.. well the thing is, she yea… I kind of did."
"Real nice Loverboy," Tayuya nudged him in his stomach with a proud smile on her face. "Yo, Octopussy, you ready to teach Loverboy how to not get fucked by Clifford?"
"That's lord Bee and Lord Eight to you little red."
Tayuya rolled her eyes and gave a mock salute. She stood rigid with perfect posture. "Yes, Lord Octopussy, please teach my idiot fiancé how to not get bitten by the giant red fox that hides under the bed."
Naruto did his best to hide his smile from Killer Bee. But there was nothing he could do to stop the giggling that came out when he looked at the man's face. "Princess, has anybody told you if you weren't cute you'd probably be dead by now?"
"Cute doesn't stop them from crippling me, though."
XXXX
Tayuya's fingers drifted along the warm bone of her flute. The seals were glowing with heat nearly enough to burn her hand. This was the rage of the Kyuubi unchained and unbound. She tried her best to keep still and play a song to calm the Kyuubi.
As much as she wished that the harder and faster she played the more effective her music would be. She wanted to expel her emotions and let them lose through her flute. But the opposite was true. She needed to be in control to calm the Kyuubi.
It was like holding an umbrella in a hurricane.
Her heart stopped as the Kyuubi's influence began to take over Naruto, it spread like wildfire. She felt her hands began to shake her entire body trembling as Naruto began to lose. It was nearing the halfway point. She bit her cheek hard enough to draw blood. Her hands stopped shaking and her heart stopped racing.
They could do this. All she needed was to take it slow.
She began to play pouring her emotion into the music, she was no longer trying to control the Kyuubi. She wanted to help Naruto. And for a moment it seemed to work. The corruption had stopped at the halfway point.
Her fingers danced along her flute as steam rose from seals. She put everything she had into the melody causing it to double over and over. She couldn't control the hurricane, but she could fight it. The music flowed like a divine wind that swept up the courage and bravery of those that knew Naruto.
Sakura's grit, Hinata's kindness, Rock Lee's determination, Kiba's ferocity, Shikamaru's guile, Sai's sainess. A bit of each and every one of their friends made their way into her song, each one was held together by their bond with Naruto. And behind it, all was Tayuya, simply as herself.
And there was not a single part of her that did not believe in Naruto. They could do this.
Naruto's face, the part of it that wasn't covered in Kyuubi chakra smiled. His eye opened suddenly looked around frantically like in a fevered dream before it settled on her. His hand shot out and touched her.
There was a whoosh and a shimmer. And Tayuya found herself falling into a shining sea of nothingness. A familiar pair of arms caught her and placed her on a ground that didn't quite exist.
"What the fuck did you do Loverboy? Where the fuck is my flute?" Tayuya asked as she looked around. Naruto was standing there was a giant smile on his face. And then there was a woman, with long red hair smiling at her.
"Hello," The woman extended her hand politely as she spoke.
Tayuya glared at it and maintained her glare as she looked at Naruto. "You know that's the Kyuubi right? So no she can't be in our harem!"
"She's my mom!"
"I'm his mother!"
Tayuya shook her head sending her hair flying. Her glared vanished and she stuck her tongue out and closed one eye like she had just smelled a rotten egg. "Wait your mom's the Kyuubi and you want to add her to the harem?"
"What? No! She's not the Kyuubi, and she doesn't have a lot of time left, she just wanted to meet you before she left," Naruto said with cheeks nearly as red as Tayuya's hair. He stood between the two women with arms outstretched, palms facing up. "Mom, this is Tayuya, my Fiance. Tayuya this is Kushina, my mom, she was the previous Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi."
Kushina stepped forward, her shoulders straightened and her posture was corrected. She made the three inches she had on Tayuya seem like six as she glared down at the other redhead. Her lips were pursed tight and she spoke just above a whisper. "What makes you think you're good enough to marry my son?"
"What makes you think I'm fucking not?" Tayuya challenged stepping forward she met Kushina's gaze with one of her own.
Sparks flew and Naruto could do nothing but watch as the two women glared at each other. He wasn't certain if the growling was from them or the Kyuubi was escaping his mother's chains. Then the strangest thing happened.
They laughed.
Kushina scooped Tayuya up into her arms lifting her an inch off the ground as she hugged the girl tightly. "Oh, you're absolutely perfect! I can't believe Naruto managed to find a beautiful girl like you!"
"Hey!"
"It didn't take him long, on our second day of not trying to kill each other, he told me he loved me, I like to think that I was the only girl desperate enough to talk him after he said that!" Tayuya embraced the woman instantly, a cheeky smile on her face as she looked at Naruto.
"That was only because of the shadow clones."
"So tell me are you really an Uzumaki too?" Kushina set Tayuya down and held her at arm's length inspecting her red hair. "You're certainly pretty enough to be one."
"Yup. Mito Uzumaki is my great grandmother, I used her flute to help Loverboy with the Kyuubi a few times." Tayuya said as her cheeks flushed slightly pink.
"No way, that flute playing was yours? It was amazing I think you might be better than granny Mito! You should have seen fuzzball, he kept shouting at you to stop playing it while he attacked Naruto," Kushina gushed looking at Tayuya with stars in her eyes.
"Wait that was working? The flute was so hot, that I didn't think it was."
Kushina placed her hands on Tayuya's shoulders and allowed them to slide down slightly. "Yea, and it helped to motivate me and Naruto a lot too, So keep playing, and keep my son happy will you?"
Naruto sucked in his lip when he saw Tayuya's smile change slightly. "Please don't say it, please don't say it."
"That's okay, I just suck his dick every once in awhile and he's good."
A silence clung to them like an early morning dew. Kushina blinked once a smile grew on her face. "Oh, Minato was the same way! Greatest ninja of his time and he was easily defeated by a few kisses and some licks!"
"For the record, I'm not going to ask you for tips."
"No, I suppose my son gives you plenty of those."
"Yea and when he does I get shafted."
Tayuya and Kushina shared a smile while Naruto sighed into a sad smile of his own. At least his mother approved of Tayuya.
Kushina flexed her arm and gripped her bicep firmly. "Now, let's go take care of that giant grumpy fox!"
XXXX
Tayuya was slammed back into her body the moment Naruto started to fight the Kyuubi again. She gasped for air for a moment like she had held her breath that entire time. Her fingers began to move on their own, gliding across her flute like some exotic dance.
She could almost hear Kushina sing as she started her song anew. The Kyuubi's chakra surged for in a desperate attempt to win then in now. Like twin lions, they roared and pushed the corruption back. It sputtered and spazzed with every note losing ground at an unmatched pace.
The chakra vanished, the flute grew cold, and the air grew still.
"He did it," Tayuya said, putting her flute down. She couldn't help but let out a cheerful laugh. Now all they had to do was win the war against Akatsuki and they'd be able to relax for like two days before something else exploded. Although her definition of relax had gotten a bit skewed.
Naruto smiled and stood up tall. He pulled Tayuya towards him twirling her around into a small peck. "My mom said she wants three grandbabies."
Tayuya hummed and hoped up to wrap her legs around Naruto's waist allowing her to look down at him. "Well, I'll give her two and a half."
"Where's the half going to come from?"
"Pinkie's butch enough that we could both enjoy her."
"I'm honestly starting to wonder if you're joking about the harem thing."
"Your dick is mine Loverboy." Tayuya kissed Naruto one last. She hopped on to the ground and backed up a step. "You can use the Kyuubi's chakra now, right? Show us."
"Yo, boy of nine ain't fool, he's got the chakra down acute!" Killer bee rapped providing nothing to the conversation.
Naruto nodded, stretching out his entire body. It was like flipping a light switch. Naruto exploded with chakra, it covered him like a thick golden cloak of fire. He looked at himself in amazement, then looked far away. Then finally towards Tayuya. He smiled and stared towards her stomach.
"Awesome, now I was on a mission to keep your happy ass here and away from the war, but now that you have this, I..." Tayuya was forced to stop as Naruto caressed her cheek. He was smiling at her in such a weird way. "Look, I know you're mad about me not telling you but I..."
"You're pregnant Tayuya."
The world went still.
"Fucking what?" Tayuya backed away from Naruto again and slapped away his hand. She had counted the days on her fingers, sure she was a little late but that didn't mean... "No, that doesn't make sense. We used protection every time and those things aren't cheap. Wait, fuck... that first time, in the tent... fuck. Dammit, I was on the pill!"
She glared at Naruto's stupid smiling face. "Fuck you and your super sperm you bastard." She folded her arms and frowned for a moment before she sighed. "Well, whatever let's just go kick ass so we can get married sooner because I don't wanna be a whale in a wedding dress."
Naruto grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her into one last small kiss. "I love you."
"Loverboy?" Tayuya raised an eyebrow.
"But you're pregnant, with our kid, so I'm sorry but I can't let you fight." Naruto jumped away quickly as Tayuya tried to take a swing at him. "Bee let's go!"
Tayuya felt her left eye twitch. There was a war going on. She had the ability to influence everybody that heard her flute. And he wanted to just leave her here? "The fuck you're going to leave me here Naruto Uzumaki, I'm going to that war and we're going to kick fucking ass."
Her voice was nearly a whisper, tears began to form in her eyes, and her hands shook with unbridled fury. Naruto just looked at her with an apologetic smile on his face. "I swear to fuck Loverboy if you leave me here we're through, I will never speak to you again."
"At least you'd be safe…well kind of," Naruto offered with a sad smile, he looked towards his fellow jinchuriki and nodded. In a brilliant show of chakra prowess, he leapt away from Tayuya with enough force he might as well be flying.
"Don't you run away from me!" Tayuya shouted as she stomped forward. "I swear to fucking god I'm going to name this kid 'Living proof that Naruto Uzumaki fucked Tayuya and then fucked it all up because he's a dumb ass mother fucker' You hear me you bastard!"
"Get your pale blond ass back here you piece of fucking shit! I own your ass! Get the fuck back here so I can bite your dick off and eat it with a fuck ton of ketchup! You stupid, idiotic waste of human flesh!"
"If you fucking die out there I'm sleeping with Sasuke you cock sucking mother fucker! I bet you'd like that too! You must be fucking gay for him or something! That's why you don't want me to be there in case you run into your emo gay loving piece of shit!"
Tayuya collapsed breathing heavily. Twin waterfalls of tears poured from her eyes. She let out a noise that was somewhere between a sob and a laugh. "Can't believe you made me cry you bastard."
She rolled her head back and stared up at the blue skies above her. With a single hand on her stomach, she closed her eyes and smiled. "Pregnant huh? Well kid, let's hope your idiot stupid bastard father comes back in one piece."
She sat there for a moment trying her hardest to let the anger simmer down. "I wonder if Molio or Octopussy have any beer."
