Oh man, I would have LOVED to make Itachi OOC, but I think that would have messed up the plot. lol. XD Man, I was so excited! I wanted Itachi to be all cute and bubbly about being an uncle. Oh well.

-Oh. And don't get freaked out at the end. Don't worry! -foreshadowing!-

"Look what I've found. Naruto-kun! So, little demon, what is the matter?"

I stared at him as he pulled me into the dark alley, tripping over some trash. My blue eyes were wide with fear, my body trembling at the mere presence of my brother-in-law. He watched me with narrow bloody eyes. His hands were on my wrists, holding me gently in place.

"So...Where is your little husband?" he leaned in to whisper in my ear, and I was violently shaking now. He's so close to me. My baby!

I yanked my hands away from his, clutched at my stomach, and glared up at him as I trembled. He didn't smile in triumph like any other villain would right now, because he just isn't like that. He never smiles.

Instead, he lifted up my jacket and my shirt, with violent protests from me, to see the red seal etched into my stomach. He tilted his head to the side, activating his Sharingan to see the chakra signature. With a loud shout, I yanked my clothes down, almost ripping them from Itachi's strong hands. He watched me, the tomoe in his eyes swirling. I was panting from fright, backing away slowly. He just came forward, closer and closer until he was touching my baby again. And looking me in the eye, he let out a chuckle, without moving his lips even slightly. And his fingernails stabbed at the seal, ignoring the burning it was doing to his skin, and said the most horrible thing he could say:

"Even if you have my little brother's baby, and I'm an uncle, I'm going to rip out the Kyuubi AND that little thing in there called new life."

I felt like crying, he was so horrible. And as he stepped forward even closer to press his fingers deeper, I felt the skin break. Immediately falling back, I was met with a pair of familiarly pale arms wrapped around my stomach. And before I knew it, I was launched into the sky with his mouth at my ear.

"Don't worry."

I closed my eyes and let the tears fall down my face as I looked at my bleeding abdomen, the blood slowly soaking through my orange jacket. As we slowly dropped onto a roof, Sasuke bounded with blinding speed over the buildings, drawing a lot of attention from the villagers, who hadn't seen a ninja in years. They gasped and awed at us, not realizing that this was a chase for the life of myself and my child. And so they cheered as they saw Itachi launch himself higher into the sky, intent on landing atop his prey and snatching me away. They cheered, and I cried.

Itachi was hot on our heels, and I doubt Sasuke could even keep his steady pace with me weighing him down like I was. I hugged his neck as I cried, calling out to him for reassurance. He cooed in my ear as we went sailing through the sky, his feet becoming clumsy as he nearly tripped over the side of a building balcony. I gasped as we went flying into a dark alley; feeling like I was freefalling and nothing was keeping me from smashing to the ground. I held him tighter as we hit the ground silently, his steps making a crunching noise as they trampled trash, dodging trash cans and boxes. He stopped all of a sudden, panting. I looked up at him, but was only met with bloody Sharingan eyes. The alley was black, black pitch...I mean pitch black.

He slowly leaned in to kiss me, but I couldn't tell until his lips met mine warmly. I tried to make it deeper, but he pulled away and ran a soft hand against my cheek before kissing my head tenderly, slipping from my arms and launching himself into the sky towards his brother. I attempted to do the same, but while I was entranced with his kisses, he had bound my legs with chakra. I leaned back against the cold alley wall, huddled myself together, and cried.

"NARUTO! NARUTO, PLEASE COME OUT!" Sakura's shrill voice sounded through the alley. I called out to her as quietly as I could, but it being a dark alley, I had to be loud.

"Sakura-chan...Over here!" I whispered loudly. Her footsteps resounded in the alley, and I could hear her hands sliding and pawing at the wall trying to find my body. She finally ran into my arm, and immediately flung her arms around me.

"NARU-" I put a hand over her mouth forcefully, and she squeaked.

"Please...He's after me, Sakura-chan," I whispered. She softened and looked up into the bright sky.

"...Sasuke's doing this alone?"

"...He's always wanted to; I don't want to stop him."

"Naruto..." she whispered solemnly as she hugged me tightly again. And then, I had the urge to cry once again. And clinging to the arm that circled my neck, I cried silently into it, my body trembling. She kissed the side of my head, cooing and whispering words of love in my ear. And I just cried with her beside me.

I've never been so scared in my life.

At one point, I fell asleep. Sakura kept guard over my exhausted body as she waited for Sasuke to return.

It had been well over 3 hours.

Sakura had fallen asleep too at some point. And when my eyes shot open upon realizing I had passed out, the dark alley held a new light.

The eyes of the Sharingan.

I inhaled sharply, and the Sharingan eyes blinked slowly, painful tears gleaming in the luminous red. I didn't know if it was Itachi or Sasuke, but either one, I was scared to find out. I tried my luck.

"...Sasuke?"

There was not an answer for a long while, only excruciatingly heavy gasps for breath. The Sharingan blinked slowly, almost looking like they were dying.

"...Yeah..."

I hiccupped as I began to cry again. He's dying, isn't he?

"...Sasuke..."

"...What...Is it...Naruto?" he whispered huskily as blood escaped his mouth. I could barely see anything now, the tears were so annoying.

"...Please don't go, Sasuke..." I cried out quietly. The Sharingan blinked at me again, lazily and groggily. A cough was sounded, and I could hear the blood spurting from his throat. I winced and cried louder.

"...Shh, Naruto...I'm...Fine...I'll...Get through this..." he heaved out of his bloody mouth, "...Don't...Worry..."

I leaned forward, letting Sakura's limp body fall onto my back, kissing his bloody temple. And I laughed quietly in his ear as I kissed his head again.

"...I'm so glad...No, I'm not worrying about you...Don't be stupid, teme..."

And as I said this, he smiled at me as those Sharingan finally closed.

"...Urason...kontachi..."

And I lay there, in that dark alley, staring at my Sasuke on the ground, his breath hitched in his throat, a breath that couldn't escape. And I smiled as I put my head against his bloody chest, the tears raining down like raindrops onto his torn shirt.

I love when you call me that. Say it again, Sasuke.
