Outside Konoha Hospital:
"It was pleasant to meet with you Amaya, we should totally hang out and have some girl time. You seem really sweet." Sakura says with her hands behind her back. Her eyes lit up. "We should go shopping for.." Sakura waits for the child name.
"Iashi, I'll name him Iashi." (E-ya-shi) Amaya placed her hand on her stomach feeling little thumps of Iashi kicking. His footprint almost visible pressing against the womb he was occupying. "My eldest son Shichi, I have some of his clothes when he was and infant. Clothes his father picked before I knew I was pregnant. I thought he was joking." Sakura and her exchange laughs. It wasn't long before her memories sneaked up.
One faint memory of Shisui who came up engulfing her from behind. The cool autumn air swirling around rustling trees gave them goosebumps. He traced them down to her stomach. He ran his fingers above her exposed skin playing with her belly button ring, stopping all a sudden, jiggling Amaya's fat. She smacked his hand away in disbelief. He came around to face her. "Someone's going to be a mommy." She thought he was joking about her weight. Laughing nervously. he kept his distance after that. Snapping back to reality Amaya notices Sakura waving her hand in front of her. Amaya forces a smile.
Hopefully Shichi and Iashi will grow up with a strong bond like Itachi and Shisui did.. it's what Itachi would want as well as Shisui. "Are you alright Amaya? You looked spaced out for a while." Sakura pulls her hair behind her new friends ears. 'To be honest, them being so nice so quickly is kind of creepy. ' Amaya thought to herself.
Amaya nodded "I would love to go shopping, I need some more baby stuff. Whenever you're free.."
"Ill be free sometime next week." Sakura stated inviting Amaya to meet the other team mate.
Kakashi locked arms with her intentionally , " we should probably bring you back." He started walking the direction she came from. "It has been a good two hours. You must be exhausted."
Naruto linked her other arm pulling her back. " Listen old man.. she can stay and meet Sasuke if she would like to." She shook her head in disagreement, which they didn't see. " Besides, don't hog her." Naruto said in a whiney tone. This is the first time in a long time, feeling accepted and loved.. safe to. Just not with the idea of meeting Sasuke so soon.
Amaya looked down so they wouldn't try to read her. They realized her body starting to shiver. "Actually I don't want to meet him. Th-thank you though." Naruto and Sakura exchanged weird looks. A lot of people liked Sasuke but it was odd for her not to want to meet him at all. They weren't really sure why she acted skittish.
Naruto insisted she meet him since it took forever to bring him back to the Leaf. "Naruto! She doesn't want to. Don't make her do something she doesn't want to do." Sakura replied snarky. Yet again Naruto apologized and let her arm go, disappointed. He shoved his hands in his black pants pocket. Naruto slouched. He only wanted someone to feel welcomed and cared for.
Kakashi just smiled as usual, " Sasuke will be here any minute to eat with us at the Ramen Shop. " Amaya was already way ahead of the game when she heard that.. With still linked arms, Kakashi was jerked quickly along. " I'll see you there!" he was dragged a long until he let go.
Sakura and Naruto order their food while they wait for Kakashi and Sasuke to come. They discussed the weird reactions and events that happened with Amaya. Sasuke finally comes through the entrance taking his order. He asked where Kakashi was at the moment and what's taking him so long to get here. They spoke over the people in the background who seemed to be having a blast talking about some party they supposedly went to.
Sasuke adjusted his posture in the seat, his ears picked up how this girl didn't want to meet. " So this girl doesn't want to meet me?" He said smug. Who wouldn't want to interact with him? His ego a bit insulted. " Yet she doesn't mind meeting you two dorks?" they were mildly irritated at that comment, their face ('-_-) "she was acting all weird? Why?" They shrugged.
" Amaya and I will have a girls night out sometime. Maybe she'll want to meet you then?" Sakura wondered. She slurped her noodles as Naruto chugged his second bowl down. Keuchi came prepared with another helping for him.
"Sakura, I don't care." Sasuke bluntly replied. Resting his head on his hand he fiddled around with the chopsticks between his fingers.
Naruto cut in" That's a good thing, she seems nice. you not so much.. " Sasuke rolled his eyes at the comment and ignoring whatever else Naruto was saying. While they were chatting Kakashi walked into the bar. " Hey , there is the old man." Kakashi gave Naruto a 'screw you' look then ordered a drink to chill out after the long day.. It quiet down after most of the people left..it was quiet enough to hear people whispering or a drop of a pin. Just clacking dishes, slurping noodles and small talk between Keuchi and his helper.
Sasuke's attention was adjusted from his food to the conversation going on outside. He felt irritated beyond measure when he heard his name being tossed around like juicy gossip. Naruto went to open his mouth to complain until Sasuke shushed him. "Really.. I just got back to the village and I'm already hearing my name among gossip?" Naruto opened his mouth to say something more then likely sarcastic, Sasuke grabbed a dumpling out of Sakura's plate and shoved it into Naruto's mouth to muddled his voice. Sakura, peeved he had the audacity to take her food off her plate. Usually Sasuke didn't care about being talked about. The only difference that bugged him was the whispering.
Sasuke takes a sip of his drink then began peering over his shoulder. "I heard Sasuke might be a father." He whipped his head back around accidentally spraying his ale all over Sakura and Kakashi. He got up from the bar stool and stood by a window where he could see Ino and Shikamaru chatting. 'da fa.. I don't think I knocked up anyone..' He went through all his memories and couldn't remember, of all the times that he partied with Akatsuki, ever doing anything that stupid or with anyone.. or at least what he could remember sober.
Sasuke throws his hand through the window, shattering glass broke the silence. He saw nothing but red in emotion as well as blood coming out of his cuts. He grasps Ino by the Collar and gives Shikamaru the death stare. Shikamaru gulped, feeling a nervous twinge in his eyebrow. O_O"
Ino shrieks, "Sasuke!" everyone's attention turns to the possible fight that could brew up. She dreamed of the day Sasuke would put his hands on her yet not like this. " Sasuke! Let's talk about this!" Ino begs waving her hands in defense. Shikamaru pulls Ino as Kakashi, Sakura and Naruto all rushed from their seats to help. They all pull on Sasuke.
Still with his grip firm he snapped, "Where did you hear that trash?" Sasuke asked through his clenched teeth. 'Yep, lets tick of another Uchiha? Great Idea!' Shikamaru and Kakashi both similarly thought. Eventually they yank Sasuke away still restraining him. They hope he calms down because their pulling was more like tugging. He eased his grip on Ino letting go. "For real? For real Ino? I just got back here after all these years and I hear this?" Sasuke was boiling to the point his veins were visible in his neck and face, throbbing.
Ino almost didn't dare come around to the inside, she did with Shikamaru and explained at a...rather far distance. She felt so small now. "I heard two doctors discussing it at the hospital today on my way out! Possibly I found a note too?" She explains with a shaky voice. Through the ultrasound they saw red dots when the baby opened his eyes!" She frantically said. Kakashi's eyes widened in terror for who he thinks they were talking about. It didn't take long for Sakura and Naruto to see their Sensei's awful expression. Followed by theirs. Its like Kakashi was caught red handed.. though they know he doesn't have the sharingan by blood.
"That's impossible! Sharingans' only awakened through emotional turmoil! Its got to be a joke. Its not mine either. Something must be wrong with the ultrasound!" he snarled. He is desperate for answers.
Awkward silence filled the confused atmosphere, Its like the Maury show but no one knows the results yet. Suspicion replaces confusion. "The doctor said he was in a trance and broke out of it, figuring it was the Sharingan! You're the only Uchiha thought of, so they figured it was yours- possibly! Honest Sasuke!" Ino was close by Shikamaru in case she needed him to use Shadow repossession jutsu. 'Shikamaru would be completely useless in an attack at night. I'd be dead before I could say anything else, I'm too exhausted to fight..' She complained in her mind.
Shikamaru sighed in annoyance, " Listen, Sasuke," he shoved his hands in his pockets turning around to go home. Looking over his shoulder he shrugged at Ino. " it's getting dark, I myself am tired from our last mission. I'm sure Ino here is just being the drama queen to get your undying attention." Sasuke rolled his eyes. He guessed it sounded like her. Smooth move on Shikamaru's part. Sakura was smiling at this comment though inside.. 'Cha! Ino you pig! He will always be mine you little worm!'
Naruto laughed at the wrong moment, Sakura and Kakashi both hit him over the head, noodles came out of his nose. He disgustingly snorts them down. Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura and Kakashi all gag. Sasuke's to focused on Ino to care..
Sasuke glared quietly at Ino, expressing his irritation through his eyes. Ino completely embarrassed by Shikamaru, agreed just this once to save her butt. Sasuke face Palms himself " 1, There were two Uchiha's besides me in the past months, 2 Gossiping like that at your age, grow up.. 3rd," he points to the door shaking. He was holding back his urge to strangle people despite his state of mind, "Get out.. of my sight!" he bellowed. They both zipped out in a blink of an eye. Sasuke sighed cooling down a bit.
Kakashi offered him a drink. Sasuke shook his head walking out for a cigarette. " That is confidential information." Kakashi mumbles. " I'll have Iruka take that up with her."
'So the cats out of the bag..?'
So it's true?" Sakura asked a little bummed that Sasuke might have a kid that is not by her. Kakashi shook his head, Sakura smiled relieved, daydreaming of someday being with Sasuke.. having a family. " Wait- Kakashi, how do you know?" pointing her finger at her Sensei accusingly, he laughs nervously.
Naruto rubbed his sore head. " So it must be.." His smile widened like the Cheshire cats and squinted in suspicion. "Totally Tobi's." Kakashi spit up his food mortified of the thought " If they have a mask I guess they all look the same.." Naruto remarked. Kakashi slowly turned his gaze to Naruto. A dark feeling hovered over him. "Oh! Beside you Kakashi! You have a half mask not a full mask!" Now realizing that didn't help the situation.
"A mask is a mask Naruto...not nice." Sakura exclaimed with her hands on her hips. "Maybe it is Tobi's.." She sat down on the stool putting her elbow down on the bar. She rested her chin on her hand.
"Or Itachi's." another voice butted in, sounding a bit annoyed. All their heads turned.
