I Do Not Own Naruto

.

Slipping into Darkness

.

Yagura was in position as he disguised himself as a Leaf's Healer and managed to get smuggled to the birthing area Uchiha Sakura was being held. He smirked as he walked through the tunnels and to the birthing chambers where Tsunade was. His eyes looked to the old hang who was examining Sakura at the moment.

"You're not in labor, however, with in the course of the next two weeks if you do not go into labor we will artificially induce it. It would be best if we do not do a C-section, it would provoke Isobu no doubt and we don't want him more agitated than needed," Tsunade said to the pinkette. Smirking internally, he didn't dare to dispute what Tsunade said.

Personally, he wanted Isobu as agitated as he could be, and then some for he was going to be unleashed upon the Leaf rather than have him peaceful. The girl covered her buldging belly and the seal that was visible. He would strike tonight, he thought as he palmed the hormones he would need. Tonight everything was going to go as he planned it as he smiled kindly at the girl, perhaps he would just cut the Tailed Beast out of her. That would certainly rouse the monster within her.

Perhaps he wouldn't numb her when he sliced the babies out of her.

"The babies?"

"They are healthy, in good positions too, and they should be ready to come soon."

"Sasuke?"

"I will ask Itachi if he's head anything," Tsunade assured her. Yagura didn't say that Sasuke was dead, for there was no way he'd have survived Mei's wrath. But he said nothing. He looked at the hormones he was palming and smirked. This was going to hurt the brat, he was looking forward to it as he offered her a hand down from the table. The pregnant girl gave him an uncertain look and reluctantly took his offered hand. Once she was down from the table he watched as she waddled out of the room. Tsunade gave him a once over and then handed him the reports she had.

"Take those to Shizune," Tsunade ordered him and he didn't argue with her as he felt the palmed suringes in his pocket. He rather liked how nicely his plans were going as he walked down the hall and watched his target walk into her quarters.

Soon…

Soon he would take the Uchiha bloodline and the Tailed Beast from her. And in time he'd use them against the Leaf. He smirked as he pulled the hormones from his pocket and checked them over. This was going to be fantastic. And tonight, that girl would suffer for always eluding him. Escaping his plots and intentions for her. However, Haruno Misaki or Hatake Sakura or Uchiha Sakura, whatever she was called, would not escape him tonight as he induced her labor and took her children, her Tailed Beast, and eventually her life.

That thought had him smiling as he walked away.

.

Sasuke snarled in excruciating pain as Naruto tightened the belt around what had been his arm.

"Fuck!" he hissed.

"Sasuke, I don't know shit about wounds, but this is not good," Naruto informed him as he continued fighting the pain away from his mind.

"Don't care, get me up," he snarled through clenched teeth. His best friend hoisted him up and he stood on unsteady legs for a moment before they started slowly jogging back towards the village. He had lost his arm to a burn from that lava spewing bitch. However, he had won the fight when he had Amaterasu'd the bitch and her accomplice. They had been left as nothing but ash when he had finished with them.

"Sasuke, you shouldn't be running," Naruto chimed in.

"Uzumaki Naruto, I have left my wife unprotected at that village, and she's pregnant, your wife is pregnant as well, and due, we're going home," he snarled through his pain and clenched teeth. The understanding sunk in for his friend and they ran harder as they both sought to get home. This was all too deliberate for him, all of it, and it was beginning to scare him as he ran harder. The blood he had lost didn't slow him as he leapt over the stones and trees.

His vision wavered in exhaustion and blood loss, he shoved it all aside as he ran. There was a sickening feeling in his gut that he couldn't shake and it had him running harder. This all felt too deliberate.

All of it.

Naruto's kidnapping, his being pulled out to collect him, and worse, the timing. It had taken him two fucking months to track the dobe down. And now this.

A bad feeling had him running harder as he fought his blood loss and fought his pain. He fought it all as he and the dobe ran for the village. He had to get him, he had to get to his wife and their children. He needed to get home. He needed to get there before whatever was happening happened and it was all too deliberate to him. and that was scaring him.

"How was Hinata when I left?" Naruto asked as they kept running.

"Pregnant," he breathed as he tried not to pass out. He skidded to a halt clumsily as his vision wavered and his head spun. Damn this all to hell, he had to get to Sakura and he had to get to her now as he ran towards the village. There was that horrid feeling was churning his gut. It was a terrifying feeling as he ran with the dobe and looked for the Leaf.

"Why… why did they kidnap me?" Naruto huffed out.

"I don't know," he admitted as they continued running. "But I have a feeling this has to do with the Haruno family and Sakura."

"Why?"

"I don't know!" he snapped then as leapt up again and ran for the village. Please, please Sakura, be safe, his mind prayed.

.

Sakura sat in her room, lotus style on the floor as she rubbed her belly. She looked at her belly as she sat there and wondered yet again what was going on with Sasuke and Naruto. She couldn't shake the bad feeling in her heart.

"You know, your father will be here," she murmured to her swelling baby belly. There was a response of kicking her ribs and she winced at their antics in her. Rubbing her taunt skin of her belly she sighed as her head fell back.

Oh Kami she couldn't wait for them to get out of her. Isobu wanted to keep them in her for a while longer, but she couldn't take it, they needed to get out of her. it was tiring to always feel this bloated and huge, and awkward. She could feel Isobu's chakra wrapped protectively around her babies and sighed. It felt good to have him rumbling around her aching stomach.

Her door opening had her head snapping over to the door and she felt her stomach pool with dread at the sight of who walked in.

"You're not supposed to be here," she said as she started scooting away from the healer. His name was Yoshi Hiro, and she didn't like him. in fact even Tsunade wasn't fond of him but he did his job well. She moved as she felt Isobu bristle as he neared her.

"Oh? And where am I supposed to be? Princess?" he asked in a sneering tone. She flinched as it sounded familiar. He came at her, she pulled a kunai but she yelped at it being too late as she felt the needles pierce her skin and something be rushed into her body. A few moments later she felt a rippling pain around her stomach which had her toppling a bit as she yelped in shock at the pain.

"What… what did you do?" she asked as she hugged her stomach.

"Well, you see Uchiha Sakura, or Hatake Sakura or Haruno Misaki, or whatever the fuck your name is, I don't have weeks to spare, and I have plans," he said and she stumbled as she moved her bulge away from him. "I need the brats in you, and the Tailed Beast. You have them, I need them, and I'm taking them."

"No…" she whispered as she stumbled and bit back her scream at the knew ripping pain which rippled up her distended stomach.

"Yes, been a long time, hasn't it?" the young man asked as he transformed before her eyes. The sight of his pink eyes, that scar, that face, and that sandy hair had her knees trembling as she felt another ripple of pain through her stomach where her children were. Isobu was snarling dangerously then.

"Remember me, princess?" he purred and she screamed out in pain as she broke her seal to have it wrap around her body to try to reverse what he had done to her.

The fear which filled her though had her trembling as she stared at that face.

Yagura.
