A/N: (doubled over panting) Guh...Phew! I am sorry about the long await. I have two new stories out and working on a third with my best friend. Anyways, here's chapter 11! Oh and I got my first...huge...flame for this story, BUT! that's not important! Love the rest of ya!
DISCLAIMER: Once again...Kishimoto created my husband (Itachi) and all those other kewlio people. Yeah!
Sora woke to find herself in a sleeping Itachi's arms. She smiled and nuzzled closer to him. She closed her eyes to his heartbeats and waited him to wake up. Not long after, he did. Itachi's eyes opened slowly. He stretched and felt a body on him. He looked down and smiled. Sora was watching him with her lovely ice blue eyes. He leaned in and took her lips. He wrapped her in his arms and held her tight. Their kiss had so much passion in it. Sora moaned and crawled up Itachi's body some more, to get more. Itachi's hands started to wonder her familiar body.
"Sora..." he whispered.
Sora's hand wondered over his shirt...well what was left of it. Her hand went into one of the tears and over his peck. She sighed and looked back at Itachi. He was smiling at her as he stroked her long hair. She smiled back and kissed his neck.
"So...what do you think?" Sora asked.
"What do you mean?" Itachi asked.
"You have two boys now. It was kind of a shock to me," she gave a weak smile.
"Hn. It was a huge shock for me. I love you babe," Itachi smiled and nuzzled her nose.
"Hn. I love you too. I think I have found some names for our boys, tell me what you think," Sora smiled as she sat up.
"Alright, shoot," Itachi smiled placing a hand on her lap.
"The first one's name should be...Ryoku. I like the way that sounds. And the second one will be Seikouri. That one is nice," she smiled.
"I love them both," Itachi smiled.
Sora smiled and was about to lean in and take his lips when the door opened. The nurse walked in to find the two smiling at her...why wouldn't they. The nurse had walked in with the babies in her arms so Itachi and Sora could spend time with them.
"Miss...have you thought of their names? We need them to tell who is who," she smiled softly as she handed the babies to them.
"Yes...Ryoku and Seikouri," she smiled as she looked down at her children.
"Lovely, I will place it on their birth certificates," the nurse smiled and walked out.
Itachi held Ryoku in his arms. He looked more like his mother. Silky black hair, light blue eyes (not as light as his mother's), and a slight coloration to his skin. Even though he was the first born, he was the smallest out of the two. His tiny hand reached out for his father and Itachi held it softly. Sora had a hard time getting Seikouri to let go of a handful of hair. The baby looked aimlessly into his mother's eyes, but smiled everytime they shined. Seikouri looked exactly like Itachi. Dark eyes, pale skin, and thick, not so shiny, black hair. Sora was finally able to get her hair from from her child. She looked back at Itachi with a bright smile on her face. Itachi smiled back. Then another visitor arrived, and it was someone that both were dreading.
"It's time to go Itachi," Tsunade said softly as she walked in.
"Why does he have to go now?" Sora asked.
Itachi just placed a hand on her thigh and carefully handed her the other baby. Itachi got out of bed and went over to Tsunade. He looked back at Sora who was quite upset, but no tears shined. She was determined to keep Itachi alive no matter what, and Itachi could see that. He gave her one last smile until he walked out the door.
"This is his last trial, Sora. I will do the best I can," Tsunade whispered and followed Itachi out the door.
Sora sat on the bed with her children snuggling her breasts to be fed. She looked down and smiled at her two boys. She repeated their names to them as she fed them silently. But even though she spoke softly to her babies, she was burning inside.
"We have to do something," Naruto said.
"Yeah Kakashi. We just can't let them go through with this. We all know what happened. Killing him won't accomplish anything. The Uchiha's have been dead for a long time, this won't bring them back...well I stand corrected," Monaika said.
"He may have had two boys, but that doesn't mean anything," Shikamaru said.
"I undersand what you lot are saying, but this isn't just based on my opinion. This time is the entire village that has to have a word. Just a small group of us isn't going to stop anything." Kakashi sighed.
"I know, but...something has to be done. Who else can we persuade?" Monaika asked desperately.
"Naruto and I can go around the village and see what we can do. Maybe some of the other's around here that Sora knew well can help out," Shikamaru stood.
"Yeah...we can also get some of our gang to help out," Naruto jumped up agreeing.
"I'll see what I can do around town," Monaika said going over to Shikamaru.
"I'll go over to check on Sora and stay with her until they let her out...which will be during the trial. Sigh...I just don't know what to do anymore," Kakashi shook his head.
"Maybe with her being there, it may change some people's minds," Naruto smiled.
"Some how, even with that...I don't think so," Shikamaru said.
"Miss Sora...you are able to leave with your children," the nurse smiled when she walked into the room.
"Hn. Thank you. I appreciate everything you did for me and the babies," Sora smiled.
"No problem," the nurse smiled and helped Sora with the children.
Kakashi had just walked into the room as Sora picked up Seikouri. Kakashi smiled and went over to his daughter. He picked up Ryoku and walked out the hospital with her and his grandchildren. Kakashi started home, but Sora stopped a little ways before.
"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked.
"Itachi's trial. I want to go," Sora said simply.
"Sora, you know that this was coming..."
"I know, but I love Itachi and I want to help him. It just wouldn't sit right in my heart just sitting aside with his children when his life is at stake. I'm not going to have my children be fatherless," Sora looked down at the baby in her arms.
So small and so gentle they were. She smiled and kissed Seikouri on the tip of his nose. He cooed and snuggled closer to his mother. Sora looked back towards the area where she could hear the trial taking place. Kakashi watched her and sighed. He went up to her and nodded that they should go to the trial. Sora smiled, but a true bright smile she normally had. She was nervous out of her mind.
"DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!" chants echoed over the village.
Itachi stood on a raised platform that overlooked the village. He was bound to a post so he couldn't escape. He sighed and knew that this wouldn't come out the way he hoped.
"Silence!" Tsunade hollered over the crowd.
An eery silence fell over the crowd. She looked out and saw the small group that wanted to support Itachi, but Sora wasn't among them...yet. She cleared her throat and looked over the crowd again.
"We are here for the trial of Uchiha Itachi. He is being tried for the murder of the entire Uchiha Clan..."
"WHY SHOULD HE BE TRIED!? HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!" some random person yelled.
"Itachi...you are being tried for murder. How do you plead?" Tsunade went on.
"Guilty," he mumbled.
"DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!" the chants went on.
"Enough! Itachi, you were supposed to be killed once you were found, but there was one condition that kept you alive. You saved our fellow ninja and friend, Sora. Not only that, you brought two new members to our village, and to top it off, they have the Uchiha blood," Tsunade said.
Silence spred over the crowd. They went quiet to her words, but also to the fact that Sora had come into the crowd with the two new Uchihas. Itachi looked out and saw her walking down towards the platform, followed by Kakashi, both holding a child. Everyone in the crowd watched as she walked down calmly, but still quite nervous about his outcome. Then a murmur spread over the crowd, now uncertain about Itachi's fate.
Sora walked up to the platform with the rest of the group that wished for him to live and looked up into Itachi's eyes. He gave her a weak smile and she returned it. Ryoku cooed and smiled. Seikouri kept playing with Kakashi's head band since he could see his reflection in it. Itachi smiled at his children and then looked at Tsunade for a hint of his sentence. She looked out towards the crowd and still how some weren't convinced he should live. Tsunade became uneasy and looked down towards the group of supporters. Some of her best ninjas were there. She looked out towards the crowd again.
"Has our village come to a decision? Should he be put to death for his past that can never be changed? Or should he live for what he has made? To be honest...he has resurrected his clan. So...should he really be put to death?" Tsunade asked.
Silenced coated the entire village. A glint of hope shined in Itachi's eyes. Sora smiled and looked at her father, who surprisingly, was smiling. Itachi's small group of supporters were cheering in happiness. Finally the entire village decided to let him live.
"YEAH!" Naruto jumped on Shikamaru's back.
"Get off!" Shikamaru yelled, but still smiled.
Monaika hugged Sora with Ryoku still in her arms. Itachi was cut loose and he ran straight to his group, taking Sora in his arms with the baby and smashed his lips against hers. Sora had tears of joy run down her cheeks as they kissed. Ryoku whimpered because obviously he wasn't in a comfortable postion, being squished between his parents and all. Itachi separated and took his son in his arms and held him close, never wanting to lose him. Kakashi handed over Seikouri as well and he smiled at his son's and repeated their names, loving the sound that came from his lips. Everyone cheered as they headed back to Kakashi's place for a small party!!!
"Wonderful," Orochimaru smiled as the sentence was announced.
"You better believe it! I get to murder that son of a bitch with my own hands now," Tomikai smiled.
"Whatever," Sasuke rolled his eyes, and watched his brother.
Kabuto just smiled and looked around. Soon...the plan would be put into action.
I know that this chapter was really short, but I had a total block, but from here on out...I know what I'm doing!!!! So things will come faster and better. I didn't really like this chapter, but this is what I came up with, but I promise it will be back to its wonderuflness soon.
