-Fayre-

I was so happy until Pein had to ruin it. Then again, I suppose having a wedding in the middle of battle probably wasn't the best idea, but still. It's my wedding, what girl won't be pissed at having that interrupted?

"I don't know how you managed to come back, but I can guarantee you won't be coming back a second time."

Pein said as he pulled out a kunai and held it in his hand.

"You're right, there won't be a second time because you're going to be the one dying this time."

I said before drawing my sai and twirling them in my hands. I'm not exactly sure what kind of power Raja and Shukaku gave me, or how to use it, but I'm sure I'll know when it comes down to it.

"In your dreams."

Pein said before charging at me. I smirked and waited. I blocked his kunai with ease and kicked him in the stomach making him stumble back. I quickly side stepped and spun as I slashed him in the side. He cursed and jumped away from me.

"So you've gotten a little bit better since last time."

He said as he held a hand to his side.

"But that doesn't change the fact that you're going to die."

He said before charging at me again. I scoffed at him as I easily dodged each of his attacks. I'm not certain, but maybe what Raja and Shukaku gave me just enhanced the skills I already had because the first time I fought against Pein I was barely able to get near him, let alone actually hurt him and I wasn't able to dodge his attacks. Whatever it was that they gave me, I was going to use it to it's full extent.

Pein tried to jump away from me to dodge my attack, but I used my sand to wrap around his ankle and pulled him to the ground. He tried to get away, but I sent my sand further up his leg. He moved to jump and I used the jutsu Gaara had taught me and crushed the bone in Pein's leg. He cried out in pain which caused the other Akatsuki members to pause in their fights and look at him.

"Fayre! Look out!"

I heard Kiba shout from behind me and heard the shuriken being thrown my way. I used my sand to block it and threw it straight back at Tobi, sending one straight through his chest making him fall to the ground where Temari, Shikamaru, and Kiba attacked him.

"You…."

Pein said and I looked back at him to see him scooting away from me.

"How did you get so strong?"

He asked and I glared at him as I saw his hand move to the pouch on his side. I jumped back just as he threw a couple kunai at me. I grabbed the one closest to my face and flicked it back at him, pinning his hand down much like he'd done to me before. He cried out again and I smirked at him as I got closer to him. He started to sign with his other hand and before I could react one of the giant pillars from before slammed into the ground mere inches from where I was and I had to jump back to avoid being hit.

"Fayre!"

I heard Gaara shout, but I glared at him making him stop in his tracks.

"He's mine, stay back."

I said and he looked like he wanted to argue, but he didn't. I turned back to Pein who was glaring up at me and trying to sign again.

"You should know better than to underestimate your opponents Pein."
I said, repeating the exact same thing he'd said to me during our fight when he'd injured my side. Another pillar slammed into the ground a couple inches away from me, but this time I didn't jump back. I simply moved an inch to the side.

"Itachi!"

Pein cried out and I smirked at him as he called out for help. To think, barely even a month ago this man killed me.

"Fayre!"

I heard Gaara's voice again and turned at the fear in it and as I did so I saw the six shuriken coming my way and didn't have time to bring my shield up. I waited for the pain of the shuriken embedding themselves into my back, but it never came. I opened my eyes to see my sand had blocked it, but I hadn't controlled it. I watched as my sand threw the shuriken back at Itachi and pinned him to the wall of the cave.

"Okay, that I didn't do."

I said as I saw Itachi's eyes widen in shock before his head fell forward and he hung there dead.

-Gaara-

Fayre was distracted by Pein and didn't see the shuriken being thrown at her. I called out her name, but she turned too late to react though thankfully her sand blocked them. I watched as she threw them back at Itachi, killing him as they pinned him to the wall.

"Okay, that I didn't do."

She said and I turned to look at her confused.

'What does she mean she didn't do that? I just saw her throw them back at him.'

I thought, but from the look on her face I could see she was just as confused as I was. It was then that Pein yanked the kunai out of his hand and charged at Fayre, planning to stab her in the stomach, but his attack was blocked by sand and Fayre's eyes widened as she turned back to look at her opponent as he was thrown against the wall of the cave.

"I didn't do that either!"

She called out and I could hear the slight panic in her voice. She was freaked out about her sand acting on its own accord. It was then that I sensed a different chakra mixed in with the sand crawling along the floor around Fayre's feet. It wasn't her chakra. Well it was, but it wasn't just hers alone. It was a mix of both of our chakras. My eyes widened as I realized what it was and I found I had trouble breathing.

'She's…..Fayre's pregnant!'

I thought as I felt the same kind of chakra mixed in with the sand flare from her abdomen. I looked at Fayre's face and saw her eyes had widened and she was looking down at her stomach.

'Looks like she just now noticed.'

I thought as I saw her look from her stomach to me with disbelief clear in her turquoise colored eyes.

"This isn't over yet!"

Pein called as he charged at Fayre. She turned to look at him and she jumped out of the way of his attack and crouched down as she dropped her said and drew her katana. I saw her eyes narrow as she looked at Pein and could see determination on her face. She was no longer protecting her life, but the life of our child as well.

-Fayre-

When I felt the flare of chakra coming from my abdomen I couldn't believe it. I thought Raja and Shukaku said I'd lost the child, but the chakra I felt just now was proof that I hadn't though it was stronger than the last time it flared in my last battle with Pein. I looked from my stomach over to Gaara who was staring at me. He'd obviously felt the flare of chakra and from the look on his face I could tell he knew as well, but I still couldn't believe it.

"This isn't over yet!"

I heard Pein call and turned to see him charging at me. I growled as I jumped out of his way and crouched low to the ground. I glared at him as I let my sai fall to the ground and drew my katana. I was better with it anyway. I glared at him as he turned to face me. I was definitely not going to die now, I wasn't only living for me I was living for mine and Gaara's child and this time I wasn't going to die.

Pein charged at me again as he signed the same hand sign for the pillars he'd attacked me with before. I waited until he was close enough before charging at him. I dashed under a falling pillar and rammed my katana under Pein's hands that were still clasped together in his hand sign and pulled up as that it pierced through his heart. He stopped and his eyes widened as he looked at me. He coughed and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. I twisted the blade in my hand and he coughed again as he fell to his knees.

"H-How…?"

He asked as he stared up at me. I just glared at him as I tightened my grip on the hilt of my katana before I looked Pein in the eyes.

"Because I found something to live and fight for."

I said before pulling on my katana and yanking it out of his chest. I heard him struggle to breathe before he fell to the floor and his blood pooled around him. I sighed a breath of relief and let my arms fall to my sides and my katana fall from my hand. I suddenly felt really really tired.

"Careful."

I heard someone say as I felt arms wrap around me as I started to fall. I looked up to see Gaara.

"It survived."

I said and he looked at me confused.

"Our baby, it survived."

I said with a smile and saw him return it before things started to get blurry. I felt a pain in my stomach and flinched, but couldn't do anything as my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

"Fayre! Fayre, what's wrong? Fayre!"

I heard Gaara's voice, but it seemed like it was muffled as my eyes started to close.

"Fayre!"

I heard him call my name one last time before my eyes closed completely and the darkness took over.

-Gaara-

I stared at Fayre as her eyes closed and she went limp in my arms.

"Fayre!"

I called out and looked up when I felt Sakura's chakra coming over towards us. She pressed her hand to Fayre's neck and smiled at me.

"Relax, she's just sleeping."

She said and I breathed a sigh of relief. I looked around and saw that the others had managed to kill the rest of the Akatsuki members and were making their way over towards us. I lifted Fayre's up bridal style as I stood up. Her head fell against my chest and I could feel the steady rise and fall of her chest.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

I said and they all nodded as we headed out of the cave. I saw Kankuro turn towards us just as Kiyomi killed Deydara.

"Is she alright!"

He asked when he saw Fayre in my arms.

"She's fine, she's just sleeping."

Sakura said and he nodded.

"I guess that fight really took a lot out of her."

Temari said as we all ran towards Suna.

"Yeah."

I said and smiled down at the woman in my arms.

"Hey Gaara, why don't you guys have an actual ceremony when she wakes up?"

Naruto suggested and I looked at him confused for a minute before I remembered mine and Fayre's short little wedding ceremony from earlier.

"Yeah, and this time you can actually propose to her with a ring."

Kankuro said and I smiled as I looked at Fayre's sleeping face.

"Sure."

I said and we all fell into silence as we got back to Suna. Naruto and the others started to head to a hotel, but Temari invited them to stay in the empty guest rooms in our house and she led the way with Shikamaru and the rest of us in tow. Once inside, everyone went to different rooms and I headed upstairs for mine. I gently laid Fayre down on my bed and pulled my gourd off my back as Temari came into the room.

"She did it."

She said in a soft whisper and I turned to look at her to see she had a smile on her face as she looked at Fayre asleep on my bed.

"She killed him and came back alive."

She said and I couldn't help but smile as I sat on the bed next to Fayre.

"Yeah."

I said softly and heard Temari leave. I shut the door with my sand before laying down behind Fayre and wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her closer to me. She'd survived the fight and she was going to give me a child. I couldn't help but smile at the thought as I buried my face in her hair and close my eyes.
