~*~*~ Sasuke POV ~*~*~
For the last two days it seems like I have done nothing but lay in bed. Itachi was gone, Naruto was back...I feel my gut clench uncomfortably at the thought that I finally knew exactly where he was and I couldn't do anything. I shift onto my side from my back and glare at the wall instead of the ceiling like I had been.
Again, I wish that Naruto was here to just lay in bed with like we did sometimes, when we didn't have a mission and could just snuggle and make lazy love in the continuous heat of the village, talking idly over absolutely nothing at all. Not of missions, usually, maybe of ramen and sunshine, funny little stories that would get each of us to laugh before we'd either have a tickle war, which he was much better than me at, or a kissing war, which I think we were pretty even at.
Apparently it was one sided for the most part, since he now had a son. Iruka...sentimental of Naruto to name his son that, if he'd been smarter he would have named him something less obvious. Ino and Sakura would probably coo over the sentimental dribble, like women usually do...I wonder how Sakura is taking Naruto being back?
She probably smacked him or something; she's violent like that. One hell of a Chakra user, but seriously, and you wouldn't expect it by looking at her. Now, if only she wasn't always concerned of what the boy of her fancy thought she'd have gotten to the Jonin level a long time ago. I've told her as much, but I think it just went in one ear and out the other.
Faintly, I heard a knocking at the door, but refused to get out of my comfortable position to go and see who it was. Call me lazy if you like, but after seven years of working to find that blue eyed loud mouth, I think that I deserve a little time to just let myself rest.
"Sasuke-kun! I know you're in there!" More knocking, I shut my eyes and turn my face into the pillow in a half hearted attempt to smother myself after recognizing the voice of Sakura, who seemed to take an evil delight in making my life miserable.
Pulling the blanket over my head I groaned, "No I'm not!" Please let her get the message and just /leave me alone.../
It seemed that her pager was off, and a moment later I found her in my window, which had been open to the summer's breeze. Could I have whimpered without jeopardizing my pride and reputation I would have, but those two things kept my voice in line and I instead just glared at her.
"This is called trespassing, you know." I grate out, frowning at her smiling face.
"Sasuke-kun, you've been in here since..." Her smile dropped slightly, "Since you got back. How about getting up? I'll make you whatever you want to eat." She said, her smile becoming annoying to me.
I turned over, "No." I said, trying to go back to my contemplative state.
She groans behind me, and I feel the mattress press down on an edge. "Have you eaten since you got back?" I squint my eyes annoyedly, she shakes my side briefly, "C'mon, I know you, you probably just came home, took off your shirt and weapons and crawled into bed, and have been there ever since."
I hunch me shoulders, shaking her hand off, if I could have honestly said that I hadn't I would have. I hate that she knows me so well, only Naruto ever knew me that well.
She stands, walking towards my door, "Go take a shower, you smell. I'll go make you something to eat, and then if you feel like it, we can talk." I frown even more at her before she leaves, the door left ajar so that even if I didn't want to get up, my body would react to the smell of food and have to get up. I sometimes wonder what exactly Naruto saw in her other than a pretty face, maybe he has a thing for obnoxious personalities.
Almost of it's own volition, my body rises, still clad only in my pants, and seem to stagger to the bathroom across the hall from my bedroom. I suddenly realize that I really needed to use the other facility than the shower. After...that was taken care of I turned the water on hot and stepped in. Shower taken, my hair pulled back into a ponytail so that it would dry straight, I walk into the kitchen in a robe with a towel over my shoulders to smell...I think something with chicken in it. I watch as Sakura finishes off what ever is in the pot that's on my stove boiling.
"What is it?" I ask, stepping closer to peer at whatever it is in the pot.
Sakura whirls around and points a wooden spoon at me, "You'll find out when I serve it, grab us something to drink and go sit down, it's almost done."
Raising an eyebrow at her ludicrously, I went to the fridge and take out a couple of canned teas. Frowning slightly, I eyed the single seat before putting the cans onto the table and grabbing a chair from another room and putting it by the table for her to sit. Not used to sitting more than myself suddenly became painfully obvious.
Sitting, I rested my chin on a fist as I watched her stir in a little more pepper before turning off the stove. "I hope you like it, I practically live off of this stuff." She said ladling some of it into two bowls, turning and setting them on the table. "It's my moms recipe, and it's probably one of the only things I can cook without burning anything." She turned, grabbing two spoons and handing me one before sitting down.
The soup, I'd guessed it was that before, was a creamy red and I took a sip carefully. I hadn't lived this long for rushing fool hardedly into eating Sakura's food. It was surprisingly palatable, tasted even halfway decent, though it could have used with a little more salt. Sakura watched me as I ate and smiled when I went for a second bite.
She took a bite herself, before popping the top of her can and taking a sip, "I saw Naruto two days ago." I stilled my soup eating, looking at her to continue, "He asked about you, I'm afraid I was...a little short with him. I guess that old habits are hard to break...I didn't realize till I saw him again just how much I missed him." A sad kind of smile played on her lips as she took another bite of her soup.
I sighed, slouching a bit more in my seat, "You'd think...that I'd feel better about seeing him." I said, my voice hesitant, "...but I feel more angry than anything else." I rubbed a ringer on the droplets of water that had formed on my cans surface, "I thought...that somehow he'd be exactly like the last time I saw him..."
It's difficult to continue, so I instead pause to gather my thoughts and think of the best way to say this. I took my spoon and looked at it, trying hard to not look at Sakura, to see what her reaction would be. "But...he's older, and...his son has made him into...an adult I guess you could say." I shrugged, the topic hard to actually broach. "He's not like he was before."
"You... really loved him, didn't you." It wasn't a question, I knew that; this was the first time she'd ever even brought it up.
I looked at her steadily, I could see that she had a sad look on her face, one of maturity, one that I had never before seen on her face. I knew that I could lie to her, tell her that I didn't, but I...I think that maybe I just really needed to finally tell someone.
"Too much for words to describe, I thought that the feeling was mutual...but with..." I didn't finish the sentence, "Have they decided what to do with him yet?" I asked instead.
Sakura shook her head, "He had a trial yesterday, but they haven't decided yet." She frowned a little, "His son was brought in this morning. He's still asleep from the sleep powder that the woman who brought him in used; he should still be asleep until tomorrow. Iruka-sensei got me to take over his classes from the academy so that he can watch over him." A small frown came across her face; "There's something...about him that's just so..."
Sasuke frowned a little, "He doesn't really look like Naruto at all, does he?" He asked, peering at his mostly empty bowl, remembering the dark haired pale boy with Naruto's eyes, but not much else. His face was pail and smooth, not like Naruto's at all

His eyes were closed, but he wasn't asleep. Uzumaki Naruto lay still on the hard mattress, listening to the world outside of the small window, at his guards playing a game of chess.
Last shift change had brought in a familiar face, Shikamaru Nara now sat some five feet away from him on the winning side of the board; he'd won the last six games in a row now, and was well on his way to the seventh by the sound of it.
They'd talked briefly, but it seemed that he wasn't willing to tell Naruto anything outside of the normal 'hello', 'You were so troublesome, took us forever and a day to find you...' Naruto knew that his son was in the building, his sense of smell had caught his scent from the air of the door, and so was Iruka-sensei. He hoped that Iruka-sensei was watching over his son, and knew that he probably was.
Both Jonins looked up a minute before Naruto even heard the footsteps of someone approaching, before the door was knocked. Shikamaru stood and opened it, before nodding at his partner, who stood and opened the door to the cell. Naruto sat up and held his wrists out to be shackled before standing up and going forth to meet his fate.
He glanced at Shikamaru, who's perpetual scowl softened for a second. Naruto looked forward again before they finally reached the trial chamber, where he was left standing in the center of before his two escorts left.
Before him sat the three council members, of whom he hoped would give him a reasonable verdict so that he may go out and see his son, finally get to hug Iruka-sensei, hug Sakura-chan and see Kakashi...but he didn't let those thoughts become apparent before the court members.
"Uzumaki Naruto, we have a few questions as to...how exactly you became pregnant." The Third Hokage said, and Naruto's eyes widened at him.
"Um...I'll answer as best I can, but Oba-chan knows more about it than I do." He said.
"Oba-chan?" Koharu asked from her seat.
"...hai, she was the one that delivered Iruka. But she told me how most of it happened." He finished; self-consciously he rubbed his wrists against where the slim scar was.
The Hokage nodded, "We all know that male births are unheard of, how was it possible that you became pregnant?" He asked, looking steadily at Naruto.
Sighing, the blonde looked up and into the Hokage's eyes, "It was the demon fox's fault, really." He said, seeing all their eyes widen slightly. "The fox sealed inside of me was a female, and it was that influence that...it was more like it was she who became pregnant than me. She's the one that allowed my body to react when...Iruka's father and I together. It was her that made my body carry through full term."
He rubbed the C-section scar below his pants line, and smiled at the ironic humor of it. "She didn't know how to get him out though, so that's why Oba-chan delivered Iruka, I had a cesarean done, I should've died during it, but Kyugi's* power healed me."
Naruto sighed, "I knew that this would come under very heavy criticism because men just don't get pregnant, so instead of have all of that criticism and ridicule, I just left to some place where nobody knew of me and I could just have Iruka and me and no one would get hurt."
Homura rubbed his forehead, "I wouldn't suppose that you'd be willing to tell us who the father of your son is today, now would you?" Naruto shook his head, the bangs that looked as though they needed a good washing swishing from side to side.
The Hokage nodded sadly, "Then our decision is made. Please step forward." Naruto did so, waiting for either a quick death or an innocent verdict.
"Uzumaki Naruto, it is this councils decision that you been found to have a reasonable excuse for running away from the village, and so will not be put to death as this crime so often decides." He cleared his throat at the relieved sigh and the happy smile on Naruto's face.
"But, we also cannot ignore that you have done this, so you are sentenced to remain in this village from this day forward, unless you are accompanied by someone on Chuunin rank or higher, but it will first have to have your outing approved of by Hatake Kakashi. In addition to this, you will have to sign in once every two days at a post that I will clarify in the main office unless it is impossible for you to do so." The man said, and could feel the palpable relief of the man in front of him, "Welcome home, Naruto."
Naruto smiled, "It's good to be back."

Since an overwhelming amount of you demanded that Naruto remain alive and well, I gave him the most reasonable punishment that I could think of. I still think that the punishment would suck, but it's better than never getting to see his son again, now isn't it?
I had a couple questions on the contest, so I'll clarify:
This is a FAN ART contest, whomever does the best fan art of little Iruka the child will get a scene of his or her choice written by me, it can be anything from hot bondage sex to a scene in the park where everyone is playing with bunnies or something, to a total blood bath. It can be anything!
I wish all entries to be sent to Zerohopes15@hotmail.com
I will put up a page of all of the entries and the winner, who will have his or her name placed under their picture and an award that I will give them. Not money, but you can place it on your web page and wear it with pride for you did the best chibi-Iruka picture.
Any other question just email me at the same address above.
