Chapter 28

Three months down the line and i was begining to see why women said pregnancy was one of the hardest and most exciting times to go through in your life. I was swelling up in places i didn't know i could and the morning sickness was a killer. Flushing the toilet i picked myself up off the floor of my tiny bathroom and moved to the sink, washing my mouth out i looked in to the mirror and sighed. It was 3:30am and yet again i had been woken with the extream urge to vomit. This part of being pregant i did not like. Turning the tap off i walked out of the room and back to my bedroom. I looked in Suki's crib to make sure she was still sleeping then climbed back in to my own bed. I pulled the covers up to my chin and lay on my side. I knew i wouldn't get back to sleep but i was warm and comfy here. Sighing again i flicked the small lamp on that stood on y bedside table and opened the draw, pulling out an un-opened letter i decided i should read it, after all Sakura very rarely wrote these days.

Masami,

How are things? Did you get settled yet? How is Suki? I know you hate me starting letters with questions but i like to ask anyway. Everything here is good, Sasuke and Shisui gave permission for the Uchiha compound to be knocked down. They said it held to many bad memories to be left standing. Naruto has gone off training again with Jiraya. So we now have a new team member until he gets back. His name is Sai, Sasuke doesn't like him and if i am to be honest neither do i. He keeps calling Sasuke gay.

We are supposed to have a mission that will bring us close to where you are so i am going to ask Hokage-Sama for permission to stop in and say hi. I hope that is ok. Speaking of people stopping in have you seen Kisame? I hope he is ok. Anyway i look forward to your reply.

Take care

Sakura.

I smiled at the letter then slipped it back in to the bedside table. Looking in the draw i saw one letter i kept meaning to burn but never quite got round to. Reaching back in to the draw i pulled it out and began to read

Masami,

You asked in your last letter if i could explain what happened 'that' night. This won't be a long letter or a long explination. I will tell you what you need to know, nothing more nothing less.

While Sakura and you where looking for Itachi Shisui and i fought Madara, he was weakening, moving slower, his sharingan not as strong as it seemed to have been earlier. And i think we had Itachi to thank for that. We fought using mostly ninjutsu until i had built up enough Chakra to use chidori. I killed him Masami. And i didn't do it for you or for Itachi. I did it for your children. For my brother's children.

It is becoming obvious to me now why Itachi went after you that night, why he risked everything by leaving us both alive. I believe he loved me and i know he loved you. Now all of Konoha know this. A memorial has been put up for him in Konoha, in his village. I don't know if you will ever come back to see it, but at least you know it is there.

Take care Masami, and if you ever need me i am here. So is Shisui.

Sasuke.

I folded the letter again and put it back in the draw. I had of course bugged Sasuke for more information on the fight but he wouldn't tell me anything else. I guessed he never would. But at least i knew Madara was gone and never coming back. He would never touch my children. Turing in the bed i lay so i was facing Suki's crib, i watched her sleep peacefully and envied her. Since Itachi had died i hadn't slept a full night. I couldn't get used to him not being next to me, i had grown so used to his warmth in the bed. Wiping a stray tear from my eye i flipped the covers back and decided to make a warm cup of tea. Slipping out of the room and down the hall i walked in to the kitchen and began to boil the kettle of water on the stove. I leaned back against the counter top and closed my eyes while i waited for the water to boil. Minutes later the water had boiled, filling the cup i removed the tea bag then headed back to my room. I was begingint o get tired again, slipping back under the covers i drank my tea slowly. As i finished my drink i let my eyes wander around the room, i took in all of the ppicture i had scattered around but i stopped on one. It was one of Itachi and i, it had been taken at the Sakura festival. It was one of the last times he had spent any time with anyone from the clan. It was taken 3 months before the massacre. Itachi's arms where wrapped around my waist and i was leaning back on him. I was smiling while he worse his usual smirk. Smileing softly to myself, i placed the cup on the bedside table and switched the light off. Closing my eyes i was immediately bombarded with pictures of Itachi. I fell alsep with his face in my mind.

I woke around 8am to a screaming Suki, i was betting my darling daughter was hungry, dragging myself out of bed i walked over to the crib and my screaming child. "Well good morning to you too beatiful" i said as i picked her up. The second she was in my arms she stopped crying "Attention seeker" i said with a smile

I left the room and went to the kitchen, putting Suki in the playm pen i set about making her bottle but half way through there was a knock on the door. Sighing i looked at Suki and said "Two minutes sweetie" then i went to the front door.

I opened the door and was suprised to see a very worried looking Sora. The young boy grabbed my hand while pulling me from the house and talking a mile a minute.

"Sora stop!" i said, the boy froze and looked at me, kneeling down i asked "What is wrong?"

"A man, he came with another man who is hurt, they need your help Masami-Sama" his small eyes showed panic and fear.

Nodding i stood up and said "Go next door and get Maya-Chan, tell her i need her to look after Suki while i tend to this man. Go now" he ran next door while i went back inside the house.

Running to my room i grabbed my medical kit and made my way back to the kitchen, just as i got in to the room the front door opened again and Maya walked in. I turned to her and smiled "Arigato Maya-Chan"

"No need to thank me, go save the mans life i will take care of Suki"

I nodded and ran from the house, i follwed Sora in to the heart of the village and in to the village's meeting house. Walking in i saw a lot of people looking either worried or scared. Wondering what type of men we had here i pushed through the crowd and stopped dead. Standing in front of me, all seven foot plus of him was Kisame. I dropped my medical bag and ran at him, he jumped slightly when my arms wrapped around him.

"Little Uchiha, its good to see you"

"Kisame what the hell are you doing here?" i asked as i pulled back from him.

"I have a suprise for you" he turned to his left so i could see past him.

My heart froze, my breath left me in a gasp and my knees went weak. Laying on the futon on the floor in front of me, looking like he had been through hell and back was Itachi. His skin was pale and clammy, he was covered in cuts and bruises and his breathing was erratic, but still there he was, alive. I threw myself towards him, landing on my knees next to the futon i snapped out to Kiya who i knew was stood to my right

"Kiya get me bandages, water and clean towel i need to stop the bleeding!"

"Hai!" she replied then scurried off to get what i had asked for.

I began to push chakra in to my hands then in to Itachi. The whole time i never took my eyes of his face. I couldn't believe it, but there he was. I felt tears running down my face and soon i heard the elder of the village ask

"Do you know him Masami-Chan?"

"Hai" i rreplied as io took the bandages off Kiya.

"Who is he?" he asked

"The father of my children" i replied as i began to patch Itachi back up.
