It had been two days since Naru had gone into labor, two days since she had started her little expidition to Rain Country, and thanks to Jiraiya's teliportation tecnieque (due to naru's health she could'nt stand to lose so much chakra) had shaved off at least a week or two of their trip and were now in the god forsaken rain wondering just how many of them were going to suffer from colds before this mission was over with.
"Here we are." Naru said happily and everyone looked at her like she was deranged.
"Yeah, great." Tsunade groused as she climbed out of the wagon. She had hoped that she would never see this country again. Naru looked at her for a second before looking back at Kakashi and smiling. Kakashi quickly looked on either side of him, where his two father in laws and several others had been before his lovely little hell cat wife had looked at him and smiled.
Here it comes. He thought darkly as she wrapped her arms around his middle and gave him the look. The will-you-do-my-bidding-just-cause-I'm-cute look. He hated that look. That look got him covered in bruises, blood and often times arrested.
"Kakashi-" He sighed and gave his two father in laws a dirty look from over the top of Naru's head. Bastards.
"Will you go into sage mode and go scout ahead? We need to find Nagato before it's too late. They should be surrounded by Hanzou's forces right about now." Naru said softly, her violet eyes troubled. He looked at her and smiled, oh god he was whipped. He would cheerfully commit genocide if she asked him too while giving him that look.
He kissed her and stepped away to find a place to sit down and gather natural energy. Jiraiya planted himself across from Kakashi to watch him, he still had'nt quiet figured out if he really could go into sage mode or just something really close to it. "What are you doing?" Kakashi asked as he settled himself down, all he would need is ten minutes to gather natrual energy and he would be ready to hunt.
Jiraiya gave him an innocet smile. "Watching you to see if you can really do sage jutsu." Kakashi grunted and settled down to start meditating. It took about fifteen minutes for him to draw in enough energy to make his body change and grow to look like it had a few months ago. His hair legnthened to hang down his back almost to his waist, his eyes turned a molten amber, his finger nails legnthened to claws, his human ears vanished and little furry white ears appeared in their place as his body grew to that of a man in his twenties.
He flexed his fingers and checked is body over mentally and growled then stood up and moved to stand next to Naru and leaned down to lick her cheek affectionatly, his way of telling her that he loved her while his vocal cords were out of commision and she smiled and kissed him back.
"Becareful. Don't engage the enemy unless you need too, just keep Nagato and the others alive until I can get there...... I love you Kashi." Naru said as she started to get tearry eyed on him, and he made a purring sound so that she would'nt start crying. He would never leave her if she did. He let her hug him one last time then took off running across the wet feild ahead of the group, findin the on corpse of trees in the whoe damn country and disappearing ino them like a ghost.
A really hot, sexy, furry earred ghost. Mmm. Naru thought as she tilted her head to the side and started fanning heself with her hand. Why did it feel so fucking hot all of a sudden? She huffed and caught Tsunade's knowing grin and felt like kicking her baa-chan in the shins. "Is there a problem?"
Tsunade smirked at her and shook her head. "No. No problem at all. Sooooo....do you miss his delicousness yet?" Naru growled warningly at the woman and flung a kunai at her missing her by a few inches.
"Shut up. We're here to work, not...drool over my husband." Naru snapped without any heat as she felt something particuarly painful in her lower abdomen and nearly fell as she doubled over.
Itachi grabbed her to keep her form falling and held her as she tried to breathe through the searing pain as she felt something warm and wet and sticky trickle down her legs. Tsunade's smile vanished and she started cursing as Itachi picked her up and followed the woman into the back of the wagon. "What's wrong? Why is she bleeding?"
Tsunade looked over at him as she plaed her hands on Naru's stomach as Itachi lay her on the cot and started to check her insides and cursed again before leaning out the back of the wagon and calling for her assistants. They needed to take the babies and repair the damage done to her womb or she might end up bleeding to death internally. Itachi as about to ask her what was wrong with his daughter again when Minato came around the back of the wagon and heard Tsunade explaining the situation and nearly collapsed.
"Naru..." He whispered as he started to hypervinalate as Itachi was tossed out of the wagon and looked at him in alarm. If Minato and Tsunade were freaking out then this could'nt be good.
