Hey guys. I've got yet another story up when I haven't finished the others. Yes I like doing that. This one origionally wasn't ever going to be put up but my friend convinced me to put it up so here it is.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. Expect the story to stay at a slow pace for the rest of the year. My life is really not in a good place at the moment and this story is one thing that I have at the back my mind. I'll still update whenever I can.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the characters. They belong to Masashi Kishimoto. The only characters that I own are Rina Kamaya and Kameko.

I let out a small grunt as Kameko landed. The baby hadn't calmed down since after the battle and it was really getting to me.

Kameko glanced up at me, concern clear in her eyes. Sakura came over when she noticed Kameko's concerned look.

"The baby still giving you trouble?" She asked as I doubled over slightly.

"Yes!"

Sakura's gaze became even more serious as I lurched forward in pain.

"I think we need to get you to Lady Tsunade." She commented.

"Gai-sensei, Kiba. Go ahead and let Lady Tsunade know whats going on. Rushing Rina will only make it worse for her." Sakura said quickly, not removing her gaze from me.

"Right!"

I let out another groan, doubling over until my forehead was touching the fur on Kameko's neck.

"Let's go Kameko. But take it slow and try not to jerk her too much. The baby's already stressed out." Sakura said, walking slowly beside Kameko as she began to move.

"It wouldn't be stressed if she had stayed here." Came a voice behind us, causing Kameko to jump and me to groan loudly in pain.

"Easy Kameko!" Sakura said quickly, turning to look at the person behind us.

"Sorry Rina." Kameko apologised softly.

"Don't…worry…"

"Kakashi-sensei, now really isn't a good time. We need to get her to Lady Tsunade." Sakura said quickly, motioning for Kameko to start moving again.

Kakashi made a small noise of annoyance but walked on Kameko's other side.

"Rina, how could you agree to go on a mission? Your meant to be having time off." Kakashi said softly, gently putting one hand on my shoulder.

"I-Tsunade…..she put me on standby….but I…wasn't to…tell you. You know me….Kakashi…I hate…being….stuck to one….place for….a long time." I answered, glancing at him for a minute.

"But it's not just you we need to think about Rina. It's the baby aswell."

I let out a sigh leaning forward again. I stayed like that for quite a while before I spoke.

"I know Kakashi. I'm….sorry." I finally said, sitting back to look at him.

"Don't worry about it. Just…don't go on any more okay?" He answered.

"Fine." I sighed as we finally got to the infirmary.

Tsunade was waiting there with Kiba and Gai, her face serious.

"Sakura, how is she?" Tsunade asked as soon as she spotted us.

"Jerky movements make it worse for her and she's in quite a bit of pain. The baby hasn't yet calmed down." Sakura answered, worry on her face.

"I see. Kameko, bring her in and I'll help calm this baby."

"Thank you for the help Lady Tsunade…but I have one more thing to talk to you about before I go." I said a few weeks later.

The baby had taken quite a while to calm down to the point where I wasn't getting hurt and Tsunade had kept me under her watch for a while.

"Yes?"

"Why did you have to tell Gai about the baby?" I asked her, the slight annoyance in my voice.

"I had figured that you and Kakashi had already told him. I didn't know that you'd wanted to keep it from him." She answered, but I wasn't convinced.

"Sure. You do realise that, while I was under your watch, Kakashi was trying to get Gai to shut up and leave him alone? Tsunade, you've known from the start that Gai hasn't gotten over me." I sighed, glancing at her in exasperation.

"Yes I know. I'm sorry Rina. I seriously didn't mean to tell him anything new."

I sighed and turned away from Tsunade, letting myself calm down.

"I know. Sorry Tsunade. I'm just sick of having him constantly pester me." I answered before leaving.

36th Chapter is up and ready. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and please don't forget to R & R

I apologise for how short this chapter was. To make it better, I'll update with 38 aswell so no preview on this one.

I have a LOT of chapters done now (up to about 61 I believe o.O) So this story isn't gonna go on a MAJOR pause anytime soon.

I have proof-read this chapter so feel free to point out as many mistakes as you want. I don't mind.
