Hello! Again, this chapter is sort of rushed in editing. Have to post this super early if I want this out on time because I'm busy today.

Thanks for your support!

October 2, 2017- Finished.
November 17, 2017- Edited.

-Line Break-

I shifted uncomfortably and growled. "Orochimaru, I'm fine."

"Yuu, let me indulge."

"You're impossible." I huffed and stopped his wandering hands. "If I indulge you anymore, you'll get spoiled."

"Maybe, but I am good in getting what I want."

"Keep that up and I'll throw these strudels away." I growled. "Or let the kids eat them in front of you."

Orochimaru held my waist a little tighter and hissed in a mock hurt. "How cruel, my dear lizard, they smell so heavenly." I shivered feeling his hands slide up along my back before reaching my neck. "Can I convince you otherwise?"

The concentrated pressure from his thumb made me purr as he pressed the right spot. Orochimaru's cool touch has been my main distracting source and he has been successful in keeping me from doing anything physically than a light jog. And I say light jog because I'm not one to staying walking too long, they all learned pretty quick that if they continued to hinder me, I will quickly fall back to my academy days.

Minato especially has seen just how much more creative I've gotten with my more harmless pranks. He will not use me as an excuse to skirt his duties, I did half his job dammit. I will not go back to a mess.

Which reminds me that Orochimaru has been doing the same thing as well.

"You can't keep by my side the whole time."

"You underestimate my stubbornness."

"You have work." I snapped. "Didn't you have some big experiment?"

Orochimaru simply chuckled. "Currently underway, I'm simply waiting for results."

"Then wait over there, you're being bothersome." I shook him off. "I need to actually walk around and exercise if I want to get stronger, I'm not doing anything that will hurt me so stop worrying."

"I suppose but regardless, I am still just a worried lover."

I blushed. "You're a word twisting snake, don't shrink your duties or at least do something productive." I started to walk away. "Honestly, at this rate, I'm going to need a bat. You people are lucky I can't summon-"

I stopped and thought about that. I could summon Kaito and Rei if needed and they could appear whenever they wanted. Was it possible to summon Kyuubi? Was it possible to use a little bit of his chakra and summon him in the real world?

The better question is how would my body react to that, maybe Kaito can help?

The distinctive popping of smoke and a small pull of my chakra was quick to answer me. I felt Orochimaru's grip appear on my shoulder but I couldn't help but stare down at the little red puffball. It was disoriented and confused and I still stared at the puffball.

It really was a puffball, like a bunny with a long tail to match its equally long ears. Beady little red eyes blinked before snarling and hissing like a cat.

"What the hell is this?!" The deep voice did not match the owner. "You! What in Sage's name did you do?!"

"...You're so small." I stared.

"I can see that!" Kyuubi snapped. "I shouldn't be looking up to see you!"

"Is that what I think it is, Yuu?"

"Kyuubi no Kitsune, the newest voice in my head, kind of." I crouched to Kyuubi's height. "He doesn't like talking to me though."

Kyuubi snapped at my hand. "You babble like a kit, and why would I want to talk to a meat bag like you?"

"Yuu, what is the point of summoning the beast that nearly killed you?"

"Kyuubi, let's have a deal."

-Line Break-

Kyuubi's puffball form was far from recognizable, he really did look like a rabbit with a long tail. His now tiny legs did nothing besides mimic a kitten's claws that tore at my clothes. He was currently growling and snapping at everyone with tiny fox fires sparking off his fur.

I smirked and laughed as everyone shuffled warily at the library door trying to avoid getting burnt. "I see that you all are acquainted with Ki-san."

"Ki-san?" Minato looked at the snarling little thing.

I nodded. "Ki-san, he's my new guard rabbit."

"Fuck you too!" Kyuubi snarled. "Be glad that I'm doing this!"

"Utterly grateful." I said satisfied as I read my book.

"T-that's Kyuubi!" Kushina stuttered terrified recognizing immediately what the illusion was. "W-what? H-how?!"

Everyone started to freak out now as the recognized the minuscule traces of the bijuu's chakra that was hiding under mine. His smaller form didn't spark recognition in the first place because of the fact he was small and not fox looking anymore. Just looked like an angry red bunny.

Kyuubi sparked even brighter. "That's right you ungrateful meat bag! You're lucky I can't rip your throat out like I promised you, but I got the next best thing to make your life difficult!"

"The seal, is the seal weakened already? We have to check it!"

Kyuubi snapped before blurring into my lap. "Like fuck it is, it's working fine and I'm not having my limbs staked on a giant rock again. You can go fuck yourself with your own seals, I like the deal I have with this meat bag"

"Deal?!"

"Didn't anybody tell you to speak less and to listen more?" Kyuubi snapped. "I made a deal with the demon, don't go killing yourselves bec- actually, do worry yourselves to death. It'll be amusing."

I snorted. "What a way to go."

"Demon? What does he mean by demon?" Minato looked wary.

I bit my lip nervously. "Rei, he's talking about Rei. Rei made a deal with Kyuubi, that deal's the reason why I'm alive actually." I glanced away.

"Why is he calling Rei a demon?" Minato looked at Kyuubi. "He doesn't feel like Kyuubi."

"Of course not." Kyuubi snapped. "And I know what you all are thinking, but I am not a demon. That halfling you call Rei? He's a demon. Look at Kaito if you was a comparison to the bijuu, Kaito is exactly what a bijuu is." Kyuubi held his head high and sniffed. "You humans are disgusting really, calling us demons when it's you evil little creatures that fight over such useless things."

A cold chill started and the slightest tremble escaped my control. My hand found itself going through Kyuubi's illusionary fur in comfort as the world started to turn. I gritted my teeth and kept my face pointed at where I'm sure the book would be and just ride it out.

I haven't told anyone about the effects off having my soul cut in half. There was nothing I could do to stop these falling sensations from coming and going. It helped that they were getting easier to deal with but the emptiness was never something I could get used to.

But if it does help to have another person to ground me, like when I used Orochimaru to help alleviate the pain when he sleeps with me. He was like an anchor, a chain I could hold on to and he was complete. I assumed that because I wasn't, I naturally sought out something that was.

I feel so weak.

"Yuu-chan?"

"Ugh, you all are so noisy." I groaned. "Why are you all still bothering me?"

"Yuu-chan, you're freezing!"

"You think I don't know that?" I growled. "You won't let me sit in front of the fire or let me sunbathe, I'm not exactly warm blooded anymore." I held Kyuubi closer feeling his natural fire. "And you people wonder why I'm so fucking stubborn."

Kyuubi flared his chakra. "I'm not a heater, meat bag"

My head was finally settling and I could feel warmth radiate around me. I immediately turned to the warm body and buried my face in it. Everything was being grounded again and I felt much more better compared to just a moment ago.

I gave an involuntary sigh of relief, an even stronger warmth was emitted and I scooted closer to it. I opened my eyes to see the fireplace crackling and Kyuubi grumbling in my arms. The dizzying sensation hasn't left yet but I tried to get up anyways. I was confused on what happened and I couldn't grasp my position quite right.

"Take it easy, meat bag You were having one of your episodes, your pathetic brother is currently floundering in the kitchen trying to figure out what to do." Kyuubi whispered. "So my old container and her annoying friend are watching us."

"Wha?" My vision settled and I looked to see Kushina rubbing my back. "What happened?"

"You passed out for about an hour." Kushina said. "You were really cold so we put you in front of the fireplace to warm back up. Why didn't you tell anyone about your, er, condition?"

I huddled closer to the fire. "I didn't think to, I had a fireplace and my rock bed, the problem was solved until you people wouldn't let me."

"But what about in the hospital? You were fine in there."

"Heating seals, every room has them." I replied. "And sensei already knew I guess, she is a medic, she would've seen how low my temperature is."

"And she didn't say anything?!" Kushina looked incredulous.

I snorted at her reaction. "Patient confidentiality. There's also the fact that this was already predicted when I was going through Sage training, being saturated with natural energy at a constant basis isn't very healthy so my changes will be more dramatic. Nothing too serious though."

"'Nothing too serious?' Yuu-chan, you're freezing and summer's still going, why didn't you say anything?"

My fingers tapped and rubbed the fabric of my clothes. "I didn't think about it."

"What do you mean you didn't think about it? This isn't normal, your body shouldn't be cold blooded." Kushina tried again. "What could've possibly distracted you for so long that made you ignore that?"

"Keeping you and nii-chan alive." I said softly. "I told you, I was prepared to die."

In some ways, I was glad that winter didn't hit when Kyuubi did attacked. It's a small blessing that I didn't have to go through, the cold and I are still not fond of each other The fact that I haven't been physically active or chakra active made it even worse so I just need to concentrate on those and this wouldn't be a problem anymore.

I just need to find a way to get away from my minders for a good hour or so to do that.

"Yuu-chan, how long?"

"A little before after nii-chan told me about your pregnancy."

"But how did you know? There was no way anyone could've predicted that." Kushina said distraught.

"I didn't, but the fact that you guys prepared for Kyuubi's escape was enough for me to act on it." Kyuubi huffed and growled. "I wasn't about to let you both die because of a chance."

Never on a chance, that's how everyone else died. We were too naive and confident when we pushed them to a corner, we forgot that cornered rats still had dirtied teeth that they could lash out with. That smallest chance that they could win with let them succeed with our inattention to the smallest detail.

But not this time. I'll make sure of that.

"Yuu-chan, why do you do this to yourself? Why would you go so far?"

"I can't fail again, never again."

The flickering fireplace made itself known and it crackled into the glowing wood as I blinked into another haze. Despite Rei being gone, the memories still stayed and came just as strong as they did before but not as violently. It was like dreaming now, floating in a cloud than try to weather through a storm.

But the emptiness wasn't worth the trade. I couldn't fight emptiness, there was nothing to fight or endure. It was just there and it made itself present very clearly by the falling sensations I feel.

Like now, I feel like I was standing at the edge of a cliff. I couldn't move away and I knew it would take one good breeze to push me over. The anticipation of falling after looking down such great heights was gripping me tightly and nobody was there to save me.

At least in a storm, I could control what I do.

My body jumped feeling someone shake me, I looked up shooken at Minato and I quickly averted my gaze back to the fire. Kyuubi growled and huffed before poofing out of existence

"Yuu-chan, do you want to talk about it?"

"I always do, but no one ever listens."

Because the world I used to live in is nothing more than fantasy for everyone, which was ironic because this world would be fantasy to the other. It was similar enough to dismiss my memories as conjured delusions that I could make real but different enough to where they were just nightmares. It was a frustrating chase that I quickly ended, no need to tire myself for nothing.

But there was Orochimaru, he listened, understood, and even related. He took my fantasies and was able to make facts with them. He understood and even tried to learn the language that never existed here in this universal plane.

I was still forever grateful to have someone like him here. I would've survived but this luxury made my current situation much less painful. He made the emptiness bearable.

Falling into an unknown abyss and the dizzying sensation it left behind will be easy to overcome. The moment I regain all my focus, I will conquer this weakness without anybody being the wiser. They don't need to know, just like they didn't know abo-

"Yuu-chan!"

I jerked and my eyes flew open to the ceiling and worried blurry figures. Cold sweat trickled down my neck and my skin was chilled despite the flames of the fireplace. I gritted my teeth in frustration and growled at what just happened.

"Yuu-kun, what's wrong?"

Mikoto's blurry form barely registered. "I'm tired, I'm cold." I started to breathe a little easier. "I'll be fine."

"Yuu-kun, do you want me to come over often?" The Uchiha's voice was soft. "Sasuke-kun would be ecstatic to meet you."

"Sasuke?" I frowned. "Don't, I don't need another leech."

Mikoto smiled. "He's three months older than little Naruto, I've been busy too seeing he's such a fussy child but I bet he'd calm down with you. You have a way with children."

"No I don't." I murmured. "Don't dump your brat on me."

"Of course not, Sasuke just needs someone to look towards when there's no where else to go."

I growled. "I'm not a daycare."

My body tensed feeling myself being lifted up before relaxing into the familiar hold of Minato's arms. I nuzzled into his chest and let him do whatever he planned. It was easier to let him or it'll be harder for him to let go.

"Yuu-chan, please talk to me." I tensed at his words. "Orochimaru told me a lot of things, things that I should've known first."

"It's fine." I swallowed thickly. "I was the one that gave up trying, it's hard to talk about it when no one can relate. I'm over it."

"I'm not." Minato gritted out. "Everything I do is never enough, everytime I think I'm on top of things, I find out later that you're doing something more dangerous. Doing things that even I couldn't even help with."

My lips thinned. "The things I'm involved with isn't easily spoken, the reasons in what I do is to protect my own." I gripped his shirt. "To protect you."

"No." Minato raked his hands through my hair. "No. That should be my job."

"Your job is to lead, be a Hokage, command and speak." I huffed. "Mine is to see through that you live and do your job."

"My job as a big brother came first."

"It's not as important." My eye twitched at his statement. "And you have a family, they're bigger responsibilities than keeping tabs on me."

"One of my goals was to keep you safe." His voice tightened. "Make you happy, see you smile, protect you from everything that can hurt you. You were the first reason why I wanted to be Hokage but I always fail. You've stopped smiling and always hurting, I had to learn from someone else that you were suffering from PTSD nearly all your life along side with your schizophrenia.

"When I saw you performing that seal in my place, saw you lifeless for nine months, learned that half your soul was gone, I could only think how much of a failure I was. Watch you suffer for years but I failed in every way to keep you safe."

I was trembling against him. "H-how much has Orochimaru told you?"

"As much as I could get out from him."

My face remained buried in his chest. "I had friends, and I was a big brother then too. We had fun, we had our moments, and when I blink, I see you and everyone else easily fill in the memories that echo your movements." I tighten my grip. "What would you do, when you watch them all die?"

Pain was tolerable but death was permanent Supposed to be permanent. I will bear the scars as reminders but death was a lesson I will not repeat. No one will stop me from keeping my own safe. Not even Minato.

-Line Break-

"So you've told your brother finally."

I growled. "You mean you've told nii-chan."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "You're angry?"

"No." I looked away settling down. "Anxious, yes. I-" Words dried at my mouth before I sighed. "Thank you, even if it's only one, it's the one that matters."

The snake pulled at my hair. "Your brother can be insufferable. You do realize that you probably won't be on active duty anymore because of your health conditions?"

I grimaced. "The only good thing I see from that is that hopefully that'll discourage him from giving me a genin team." I looked down and shivered at the cold air around me. "I'll find other things to occupy my time."

"Why don't you come to the labs?" Orochimaru purred teasingly. "I believe that we'll be able to get many things done down there." He traced my neck up to my chin.

"No, I like the sun, and I rather not get distracted by you either." I moved away blushing.

Orochimaru smirked and snaked his hands on my hips. "Whatever do you mean? What could I possibly do to distract you?"

I bared my teeth trying to shake his hold. "S-stop it! I refuse to be near you in a work setting, l-let go dammit!"

"My dear lizard, you hurt me." Orochimaru just pulled me in closer. "You will waste yourself doing such mundane things."

"I like my mundane ways." I huffed. "A-and it's not like I'll be in this house forever, I'll be still working as an admin ninja unfortunately."

"Mundane." Orochimaru repeated. "You'll be far more useful working in the labs with me, you can order others to ruin lives of your enemies from there."

I scowled. "I don't ruin people's lives, I make them difficult."

"Audits are very unkind to any business."

"Then they should get their shit straight." I glared at the man still holding me. "And let go, I still need to go through my exercise routine."

I jumped and squeaked feeling his hands wander needlessly. "Such an adorable reaction, your brother still believes that your a virgin."

"W-what's with you?!" I blushed angrily. "S-stop being distracting!"

"What's wrong, Yuu?" I tensed at his question. "You're in pain and you have not been forthcoming about it."

I kept my eyes away from his own sharp gaze. "Nothing that you can help with." I winced at his tightening grip. "I'm dealing with it."

"You seem to forget your place." Orochimaru hissed steadily. "I do not appreciate you hiding things from me, as your mate I have a responsibility to attend to your health. Especially after just getting you back."

I shrank at being scolded by Orochimaru. He deserved to know for being loyal, for waiting nearly a year for me. Hell, Tsunade-sensei knows after having a fit in her presence and I didn't just have that one either, it's hard to hide my episodes in a tiny room. I fidgeted under his gaze before dropping my guard, my body shivered at the cold and Orochimaru pulled me in closer.

"It's cold." I started. "And not just from unable to actively warm myself with chakra or from being inactive but from having half of me gone. Unlike my previous fits, I can't seem to control them. I can only let them come and get used to it, I am getting used to it."

"Yuu..." His words seemed to die at his tongue. "What makes it better?"

My cheeks reddened and gripped his arm. "Having someone to anchor me. The feeling of falling is always there too, my equilibrium goes away but I figured out that having someone to hold onto helps."

"Is that why I find you holding on to me in the mornings?" Orochimaru brushed away some straying hairs off my face. "I'm glad to hear I was of use, I was worried."

"Sorry." I snuggled into his chest feeling better in his warmth. "Can we do this more often?"

"Mate, I'd find ways to keep you like this regardless of you asking or not." I purred at his words. "I'm surprised you did ask, not that it matters. You're mine now."

"Yeah."

This was strange, but it was a nice strange. I would usually growl and reject the idea of being someone else's, but I feel oddly content at the fact that it's Orochimaru saying it. Maybe I would've snapped at him when we first met, but this was now and I like what I have.

I wonder if this is what Minato felt when he's with Kushina.

This need that drove me endlessly to keep in contact with Orochimaru was encouraged further because of my condition. I rather have him to anchor me down than the others annoying me uselessly. His calming presence was just something that was incomparable to the others, mostly because he doesn't have this need to have useless conversations. His scent was also very inviting, the undertones of his minty scent along with the subtle smell of chemicals made me purr.

I needed to get better, these thoughts are making me weird and Orochimaru isn't helping with the way he was feeling me up. He was utterly shameless and this really isn't helping my thought process, it was getting worrying that I wasn't trying to stop him.

-Line Break-

"Kakashi? Genma?" I tilted my head at his arrival. "And the others that still don't know that white isn't a good camouflage colour." I said boredly.

Minato's smile strained a little as the young chunins and jonins shifted nervously. "Yuu-chan, the other two are Tatami Iwashi and Namiashi Raidou. Genma and them are part of my personal guard platoon, they managed to learn Hariajin, a minor form of my Hiraishin."

That interested me. "Really? Okay, I'm impressed, space-time jutsus are finicky to use and the fact that all of you are still in one piece means that you have a good grasp of them." I closed the book I was reading. "But what does this have to do with all of you invading my house? I don't need something exploding in my library."

"He's the reason why we have to do more stealth training?" Iwashi whispered to Genma.

Minato cleared his throat. "I wanted to introduce you, you'll be seeing them more often. They'll be the ones checking on you since I'm busy, you see, they've just completely transitioned from their night jobs but they're still twitchy so I thought this will be an easy way to remedy that."

"Nii-chan, I will not-"

And he was gone, I growled and huffed before turning to the two new faces. Iwashi didn't have any outstanding features besides the goatee he had and Raidou had a scar that covered nearly his whole left cheek and across his nose. I could tell it was a nasty burn when he first got it.

I sighed. "You all got kicked out didn't you?"

"It's not fair, he's still in." Iwashi pointed his thumb in Kakashi's direction. "But we're all transferring into the Hunter Corps."

"It's not a bad place from what I heard, much better in stealth I think." I shrugged. "Though, they don't know how to keep their mouths shut."

"Should we be concerned in how much you even know about them?"

Because the Anbu and Hunter Corps were one of the most secretive known secrets that Konoha has in its military. People knew about it, bragged about it, but never exactly know what goes on with them. I would've been in them if it weren't for the fact that I didn't take orders well, I'm actually a security risk that isn't really bound to whatever oath they had for their respective organizations.

In fact, I'm surprised that I wasn't dragged to the IT until, though, I'm pretty sure Inoichi would be very unwilling to Mind Walk me. What was that one guy's name that he made friends with? Ibiki?

"I like to think I know everything that goes within the village." I sipped my tea. "But that doesn't really hold true anymore."

And that bothered me, but nothing I can't fix.

"Nii-san, you shouldn't even have to do that."

"It's not like I asked to do it, I just did." I sighed again annoyed. "Now, are you all going to scram or what? I can still practice my aim."

Genma shifted nervously. "Torito-san, I see you haven't changed much."

You know, this meeting actually turned out great. Nobody latched onto me and the awkwardness and fear seemed to want to make them runaway. I can totally get behind this.

Now to make the brats do the same.

-Line Break-

I feel like this is what jinxing feels like.

"So this is the runt of the litter my summon had, his breed grows a little slower than the others and it doesn't help that he's also the smallest." Sakumo held out the sleeping brown pup. "Since you were asleep and all, I made sure he didn't become chakra bonded to anyone, but he will shoot up like a bamboo if you do."

"I don't want it."

"She's not named either so think of a good one too." The bigger man continued. "Summons aren't meant to stay in our world for as long as she has, it's the reason why she'll be sleepy for right now but once you start sharing your chakra, you'll have someone to hunt with in the Forest of Death."

"I don't want it."

"And she'll talk if you teach her too, it's fine if you don't."

I growled. "Sakumo, give it to Kakashi."

"She's also potty trained and can eat solids, Kakashi taught her to paw at some bells if she needs to go outside." He pulled out a silver bell with a pink ribbon attached. "If you need anymore help, go to the Inuzukas, they run a vet clinic."

"Sakumo, I can't keep her."

"I need to go on a mission now, it's the reason why I haven't been able to visit you since you've been awake." He pushed the pup and bell into my arms and gave me a bear hug. "I'm happy that you're awake, and don't forget to feed her."

And he was gone. I couldn't even be mad because before I even opened my door, I could feel him stand outside my door. He stood out there for a whole hour without any indication of movement and I was getting more and more alarmed that he didn't at least knock.

And he looked old, worry lines and bags under his eyes. It would explain why Kakashi was a little more reclusive.

The little pup wiggled in my arms with a quiet whine, the bells rang with her movements and I sighed as I supported her a little better. She was a little heavier than Naruto and I was finding myself straining slightly at the weight. It wasn't too hard to set her down by the fireplace and sit next to her.

I stared at her not knowing what to do with her.

It's not like I owe anything to Sakumo, and it's not like I hold anything against him. I'm long passed past grievances and the mutt has proven himself.

Still though, I don't want a dog. I don't raise things, I kill them.

But it was still a pup, its mother didn't want her and hatchlings can't fend for themselves. That's what parents were for.

It was so little, I could easily break its little neck and end its life but Sakumo wanted me to be a second chance for her.

This was different from the hatchlings and the fledglings that usually bothered me. I know them and their parents, most of them anyways. This was a little animal that I would usually hunt, be it snakes, rabbits, and the giant tigers that learned to stay away from my house. I even killed squirrels and chipmunks because they proved to be an interesting challenge to try and hunt.

Rabbits were still my favourite thing to eat.

Another whine brought my attention and the little thing crawled closer to me rather than the fire. It shivered but it didn't shy away from my cold touch, the pup would rather have a nice petting than a warm fire. It will die with those kinds of priorities.

...It's lucky that I like being warm first before I get my pets.

-Line Break-

"Nii-san!"

"Yuu-sensei!"

"Brats." I huffed at their entrance and laid closer into the smooth warm rock. "What are you being loud for? The sun's out and I rather not waste daylight."

"Is it true that you're going back to active status?"

"Orochimaru-sensei will worry! Is that a dog?"

I growled. "Non-deployable status, but might as well say I'm retired now. My condition limits me because of how unpredictable it is and I hate diplomatic missions too. So retired basically."

Kakashi frowned. "But you're still going to be working."

"I'm still physically capable, just mentally unreliable." My body easily soaked up the sun's rays. "I'll be like Orochimaru, too strong to do normal missions but will respond to the first sign of fuckery that'll come. Be pushed to the side for the younger generation or some shit like that." I huffed. "Only I can't decide if I want to go on any missions or not. I'll be stuck here."

"So... When are you and Orochimaru-sensei getting married?"

I blanched and angrily blushed. "That's none of your business! And it's not like he proposed, not that matters."

"It matters!" Anko looked offended. "Don't you want to make it official?"

My eyes diverted from her. "I'm content, I don't need a piece of paper to tell me what I have. It wouldn't really make a difference in how we live." My cheeks reddened at the thought. "It would be nice though."

Kakashi looked alarmed. "You'd marry Orochimaru?"

Anko swiftly turned and put up an angry front. "What's wrong with that? I think I'll even pester Orochimaru-sensei about it too!"

"No! Nii-san doesn't need someone like Orochimaru!" Kakashi bristled.

"You're just jealous of sensei!" Anko sneered before grinning. "Didn't your own sensei said that you had a little crush on Yuu-sensei when you were younger? I could see you blushing and tripping over yourself in a little puppy love."

Kakashi blushed and glared. "Shut up!"

"Oh? It's true after all!"

"What are you two arguing about now?" I heard Shizune and Kurenai walk out into the garden. "Didn't Tsunade-sensei said not to disturb Yuu-nii-san?"

"Yes." I followed up. "Your useless bickering is in the way of my sun. Go away."

Anko appeared next to the girls. "'Nai! What kind of wedding Yuu-sensei and Orochimaru-sensei do you they'll have?"

"Oh! I don't know, a nice evening one?" Kurenai looked hopeful. "Do you think-"

"Shut up!" I hissed at them. "Stop talking about weird shit!"

"But nii-san." Shizune gave a mock whine. "We know that you'll never plan it, it's only fair that we do it for you."

"No!" Kakashi was pulling at his hair. "Nii-san can't marry! I can't imagine it!"

Anko looked at him with a sly look. "The night of their wedding, where Yuu-sensei is in bed for Orochim-"

Kakashi nearly screamed when he made that dying noise. "Minato-sensei! Minato-sensei, where are you?!"

"Oh for fuck's sake, lighten up!" Anko pushed Kakashi to the ground. "Just because Yuu-sensei acts like a virgin doesn't mean he isn't. He doesn't need guard dogs."

"That can't be true!" The poor Hatake looked at me desperately and I looked away with a blush. "Nii-san!"

"W-what I do is none of your fucking business." I turned to my side with my back towards them. "I'm a fucking adult, I can't believe you and nii-chan are still going on about my virtue."

Anko was gleeful. "Is Orochimaru-sensei good in bed? How did he get you to bed? How big is he?"

"S-shut up!" I hissed.

"Come on sensei! Give me something to work with, I bet he's amazing in bed, I've seen how he can twist and bend in a fight. I've seen you twist and bend in a fight too." Her smile was all sorts of perverse. "I bet you both can get into all sorts of positions."

Vivid memories immediately flooded my mind and I curled into myself to hide the embarrassment at the questions and conclusions. My blood raced and I almost let my body shiver at the phantom touches of the memories.

"Th-that's n-none of you business!" I muffled into my clothes. "G-go away! You brats are getting annoying!"

"Oh my god, nii-san, you have to tell us!" Shizune squealed. "Was he gentle? Was he rough?!"

I ran, Shunshined out of there and into my room. I rubbed my face trying to force my burning cheeks to calm, the intense feelings that came with the images running in my mind. My whole body shook and I glared at the floorboards beneath me before swallowing thickly.

I've never thought about the future like that. I always focused on the present and the threats that could effect the futures of my own. There was nothing like this that ever grew in my mind, I was always visualizing a future without myself in it. I couldn't see myself living longer than twenty-eight still.

And it doesn't seem I'll be able to continue my usual thinking with the minders now being very aware of my tendencies, kind of. I'll still find ways to pull shit over their eyes, I still have other things that need cleaning up still.

But first, I have a problem. An embarrassing problem that I never had to deal with before and I didn't really know how to comprehend the fact that I have this problem. It was extremely distracting but I really didn't want to acknowledge it. Or how to acknowledge it.

I had... urges before but they always went away quickly because I didn't have stimulants to drive it. But now that I do now, it became prominent that it would not go away until I dealt with it. I never had to touch anywhere near-

Goddammit, I'm going to make Orochimaru pay for making me like this. I can't believe he rendered me in such a vulnerable state, this was beyond mortifying for someone like me.
