YO! Thank ya so much for all the reviews! And getting away for a few days is just what I needed! And yah I definitely can't thank ya enough for the reviews and all the things that were said! So here's the chapter! (Oh, if you're wondering why I replied to reviews so fast was because my friend let me use his computer lol, but I wanted to update at home and I was having too much fun to care about updating at that time.)

'Inner Kari'
Things that need emphasis
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Kari was up and about and felt her breasts tingling 'Someone's at the door!' 'And how does that add up?' 'I dunno, I just want to be psychic.' Kari opened the door to see a man about Kisame's age look back at her. He was a good 6 feet, and lean and muscular. His hair was a greyish blue and his eyes, though like the Hyugas had a visible iris so it looked like he had cataracts. 'Oh god; your boobs can tell when someone's at the door, we could get big bucks for this!'
Naomi peeked around the corner "Oh good, did you find the place alright Satori?"
"Yes, and I'd like to come in if Kari no baka would move." He answered.
Kari flared up but then gasped and hugged him "Satori-nii?" she saw the scar on his hand from them playing with fire crackers when they were small.
"Hai." He let her go and gave her a look "Who did this to you?" He coldly asked. Kari looked at Naomi.
"You didn't tell him?" Kari asked. Naomi shook her head "I'm engaged." She said as she moved out of the way. Satori stepped inside and shut the door.
"So you got engaged because you're pregnant, where is he?!" Satori boomed. (Don't you hate people like that?)
"Right here." Itachi said beside Kari.
Kari sighed, "We were engaged before it happened." Kari deadpanned. 'Here we go…' Kari thought. Naomi also scented danger for she quickly said
"How about some coffee?" They all followed her to the kitchen and refreshments were given. Deidara bounded in the room, his hair wasn't in its high ponytail and looked like he just woke up. He had pink pajamas with white fluffy bunnies and rabbit slippers. Kisame was already in the kitchen.
"Hey are you blind un?" Deidara asked Satori.
"No." Satori stiffly said back. It was silent for a while then Satori decided to break it. "Our parents are coming over to visit later Kari, just thought you should know, in case you don't want to see them."
"It's alright." Kari said, "I have an appointment today anyway." He nodded. It was silent and everyone went off to do their own little thing. A little while later Kari slipped on her traveling cloak, Itachi was behind her. Satori came up to them.
"I'll come with you." He said slipping on his ninja shoes. Itachi kept to the shadows a few meters behind them. They walked up to the hospital. They walked in and a nurse they came up to took them to the doctor's office. He came in not too soon after and explained the procedures of a sonogram. Kari then flipped up her shirt so that her stomach showed and the doctor began to smear the gel on it then began to move the device on her stomach.
"Doc, can you move the screen so it's facing the window?" Kari asked for she saw Itachi not moments before. The doctor gave Satori an inquiring look and Satori nodded. The doctor turned the machine toward the window.
"So are you the father?" The doctor asked Satori.
"Uncle." Satori answered.
"Well, you can see them now." The doctor informed.
"Wow." Kari said. Satori smiled.
Meanwhile Itachi was hanging upside down from a tree branch. 'The sooner I can talk to the Hokage the better.' He thought.
After being finished at the hospital Kari and Satori were walking down a street "Satori-nii I need to go visit someone, is it alright if you go home and tell everyone. I'm going to see a friend, don't worry, I'll be fine." Kari requested.
"Fine, but Itachi better stay with you." Satori said before he disappeared in a cloud of ninja smoke. Kari walked to the alley where Itachi was.
"I want to see Kioshi-kun, I haven't seen him for a while and the last couple of missions really screwed up my chakra paths, I can't use my chakra as effectively." Kari sighed. Itachi nodded.
"I'm heading back then." He disappeared. Kari then made her way to the Hyuga manor, as he was probably there. She learned from a servant that Kioshi left to guard the Hokage while he was at the exams. Kari sighed for what seemed like the millionth time that day. She walked to the forest of death then quickly made her way to the arena. Unfortunately she had no idea where the battle was and wandered the halls. Suddenly a door shot open and medics carrying a stretcher ran out. When they passed Kari saw who was on the stretcher.
"Hinata!" Kari cried.
"Kari-sama! Thank the heavens you're back! Your skill is needed here! She's gone into cardiac arrest!" one of the medics answered. Kari's hand glowed with chakra and she began to heal all of Hinata's wounds. Kari began to suddenly feel light headed and stopped and paused to look her over. Her breathing was normal and she appeared fine again.
"This is the best I could do, I can't heal her chakra paths as I can't see them and may injure them further, but I healed the internal damage including that nasty blow to the chest." Kari answered, Hinata was now asleep "Who did this to her?"
"Hyuga Neji." A medic said and understanding came.
"She should be ok until someone else can properly examine her." Kari said and the medics carried her away. She rested a little bit and heard the sounds of battle erupt from the room nextdoor. She opened the door to a gruesome scene. There was a crowd in the middle of blood and sand. Kari walked over to them 'Whoa, he's a mess…'
Sasuke was speechless 'K-Kari?!"
Kakashi smirked under his mask 'I was right.'
Kari found herself in a very youthful embrace "Kari-san, you must help Lee!" Kari awkwardly patted Gai on the back and he let her go. She healed his broken bones and some of the muscle tissue in his arms and legs so that Lee was ½ healed.
"There. That's all I can do for now." Kari said as they put Lee on a stretcher 'Sleep in peace.' Kari then went up the railing and was pulled into a sisterly embrace by Kurenai, then Kurenai gasped and pushed Kari back to look her over.
"You're…" Kurenai began. Kari nodded and Kurenai pulled her into another hug.
"Kurenai-chan…I can't breathe…" Kari gasped out. Kurenai let go. .
"Sorry." Kurenai said.
"Don't worry, Hinata's gonna be fine." Kari said before turning to Kakashi and the others "Yo."
"Yo." Kakashi answered. Sakura smiled and Naruto looked confused and Sasuke played it cool though he went over to her side.
"Kakashi-san, Sasuke-kun, will you come to the Uchiha head family compound tonight to discuss some things? It's alright Sasuke if you don't want to."
"I'll come." Sasuke answered. He looked behind Kari "Kioshi-san."
"Sasuke-san." Kioshi answered "Kari-chan."
"Kioshi-kun, it's been a while and I'm sorry for asking a favour so early but could you check me chakra points?"
"Sure." He activated his Byakugan and Kari realized how dumb that was and prayed he didn't see. Unfortunately luck wasn't on her side for she saw shock was written on his face, but he poked some places on her skin and she felt way more energized. Kioshi didn't say anything and Kari was glad for it.
"Hey! I know you! You taught me what ramen is!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke gave her a look as if to say 'It was you!?'
"Nice to see you too Naruto." Kari sighed. The last battle was over, "I better go…I was supposed to be back at least an hour ago."
"I'll go with you." Kioshi said.
"Me too." Sasuke added. Farewells were said and the 3 left the arena after the Hokage gave the lowdown for the final rounds and the first round's combatants were selected. They were now walking out of the forest of death. "I have to go to my apartment to get my things." And Sasuke left.
"Who did it to you?" Kioshi asked coldly.
'God they make it sound like it was a bad thing…' Kari glumly thought. 'Uh…put yourself in their shoes, for starters someone they didn't see in a long time comes back pregnant, the first thing that comes to mind is probably rape.' 'Good point.' 'That and they luv ya very much and worry about you…' 'You scare me…go back to your corner….' Kioshi was looking at her weird and Kari broke out of it. "Someone I love…you'll meet him later." Kari answered. Sasuke came out soon after that. They walked to the Uchiha district and were at the gate of the head family compound. Kari knocked on the door and like always Naomi answered it.
"Come in Kari, I didn't know you would be bringing company." Naomi stepped aside.
"There's more coming." Kari said as she and the others stepped inside.
"I'm gonna go make snacks! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!" Naomi cried as she ran to the kitchen.
"That was Naomi, my sister." Kari informed. The 2 boys remained silent and followed her to the kitchen. Deidara was there having a coffee. Kioshi froze.
"Missing-nin Deidara! Kari what is he doing here?!"
"We will have her tell her tale, once we get settled in." The Hokage, Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, Gai and some other ninja stepped into the kitchen.
"Hokage-sama." Kari and Kioshi bowed. Itachi and Kisame stepped in.
"Hokage-sama." Itachi nodded his head.
"Uchiha Itachi." The Hokage answered.
"You! You definitely have some nerve returning here after what you've done." Kioshi had a horrible thought flash through his mind. "He's not the father is he?" Kioshi hoarsely whispered. Kari pondered the question then smiled and nodded. There was a shocked silence.
"It's always good to hear both sides of the story in any case. Sasuke, he has effected you probably the most out of all of us so please hold off any comments until he has finished." The sandaime said. Itachi began to explain what Orochimaru did and how he committed the massacre and how he hunted Orochimaru down to finding him in Akatsuki and joining to hunt him down, not leaving out any detail. They remained silent contemplating the information they just received. Naomi came in with snacks. "this part I knew about since a letter came informing me that Orochimaru joined Akatsuki, there wasn't a name so I'm right in saying it was you Itachi-san."
"Yes, the leader has suspected me for passing along that information." Itachi answered.
"Why would 2 other missing-nins come with you? And how does Kari-san come into all this? And will we let Uchiha Itachi off scott free? Can they all be trusted?" Asuma asked.
"Not scott free no. You realize you still left the village and joined the Akatsuki, people will not trust you so we're going to do this, you cannot leave the village for 6 months and you can not do any missions above C-rank for the same space of time along with the others. A shinobi will come to check on you everyday, can we trust that you'll give up your old ways and benefit Konoha?"
"We've done a lot of things we're not proud of; Grave robbing-" Kisame began
"Blowing up the school-" Deidara cut in.
"Double parking, J walking, running over the taco bell dog-"
"Pan handling, arson un-"
"Making fun of that blind guy and bugging old Sam-Sam remember Deidara?"
"Those were some good times un and no body got hurt un."
"Well some people got hurt."
"But no body we knew but we'll definitely change our ways, especially for Kari chan un!"
"Which comes to my story." Kari said and told them about the war Orochimaru waged with light and them almost being wiped out then looking for jobs and Akatsuki letting her work for them "I did come back to Konoha before this, but I was only passing through." She told how the leader accepted her for the job and blindfolded her and took her to the hideout. "I would have also passed on information but they screen their letters going out and coming in and never let me in on any meetings and never talked about any funny business around me.
"Quite understandable." The Hokage said.
"We also know Orochimaru plans to attack Konoha." Kari added.
"Well obviously, I saw him in the forest of death!" Anko said, "And Kakashi's seen him too! We all know he's back!"
"I think that it'd be a good idea to have shinobi spy on the foreigners, you never know who to trust these days." Genma informed. The Hokage nodded and Sasuke sat down at the table.
"Does this end the meeting?" Satori asked from a shadowed corner.
"Yes, it's time to go, farewell." The Hokage and everyone else except for Kakashi and Sasuke. It was silent until Kari got up to make a peanut butter and carrot sandwich with whipped cream on it.
"So you're staying here Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.
"Hai."
Kakashi sighed, "I see, if anything happens and you betray our trust, I will hunt you all down and kill you."
"You can trust us, I swear we would never do anything of the sort." Kari answered.
"Alright then. By the way Sasuke, your training starts tomorrow at 6am at the usual spot." Kakashi vanished in a cloud of ninja smoke.
"Yay I can go to bed un!" Deidara went to grab a glass of water.
"Brownie?" Naomi asked Sasuke, who took one.
"Thanks…" He muttered.
"Oh that's right! Sasuke that's my sister Naomi, my brother Satori, the shark man's Kisame, and the blondie with the ponytail is Deidara. Guys, this is Sasuke, Itachi's outoto." Kari informed.
"I figured that out, they have the same cold eyes, pretty boy face, and that antisocial-ness vibe." Kisame pointed out.
"They probably have the same hot temper un." Deidara added.
"Man, I'm going to bed night." Naomi left and the others quickly followed suit.
