-Thank you, reviewers! You kept me going all this time! W00t! Cookies for everyone! It's the 10th chapter of MPreggy goodness! XD Celebration!

Oooo, what have I done to Gaara! XD Just read and find out. Lol.-

I'd do anything for you...

Absolutely anything.

As I pulled on my little backpack, filled with only food, mind you, I looked down at Sasuke's still body. Sakura hadn't noticed my entrancement with Sasuke as she packed her own things, but I just couldn't stop staring at him.

Sasuke is going to die.

I choked back the tears, and succeeding, I gently leaned forward to kiss his cold lips and lift him into my arms with difficulty.

Ah. No wonder I'm the submissive one...

As I carried him bridal style into the woods, Sakura watched me intently, to see if I would start crying like I had all day. And after 10 miles or so, I began tripping over my own feet. And at one point, I lost consciousness and tumbled out of the canopy, only to be caught in Sakura's arms. Sasuke stayed asleep, not aware that he had almost been killed a second time. Sakura cuddled me until I woke up only moments later, my eyes fresh with new tears ready to be shed. She shushed me with a light kiss, and I brought my knees to my chest so I could bury my face in them and sob in front of Sasuke's deteriorating body. And Sakura watched over me until I had no more tears to cry. She embraced me as I tried to cry some more, but I just couldn't.

"...Naruto, it'll be okay. Tsunade will take Sasuke in without a second thought and fix him up. Don't cry anymore," she whispered as she felt my bulging stomach. The baby was noticeable now, and that would obviously lead to some serious and heartbreaking problems. Running her soft feminine fingers over the tattoo that was calm enough for her to only feel the warmth, not the burn, she kissed my damp cheek.

"...Your baby needs your chakra, Naruto. The fox inside you is not going to cut you any slack, and neither will I. You stay down, and I'll carry Sasuke."

Before I could protest, she had him in her arms, nuzzling her cheek against his cold pale forehead. I could see the tears brimming in her sea foam eyes, and all I wanted to do was cry along with her. And standing next to her, I shed the very last tear I had left, hugging her tightly against me, bringing Sasuke into the equation.

I just want to go home.

We didn't even get to the half way mark before I collapsed from exhaustion. My chakra had diminished quite quickly, the baby in my body absorbing it to its limit. Sakura had set up camp all by herself, and I had wanted so badly to help her, but I could barley blink I was so tired. I couldn't eat, because the baby had brought upon me morning sickness, and I would just throw it all up the next morning anyway. And with Sakura gently guiding my head to her lap, she kissed my temple and ruffled my hair.

"Go to sleep," she whispered in my ear. I looked up at her drowsily, before letting out an anguished breath.

"...Sasuke..." my voice cracked with emotion, and I almost began to cry again. But Sakura quickly pulled Sasuke over to my side, his visage still so peaceful. And having only the strength to scoot ever so slightly to have my head against his chest, I smiled solemnly as I went to sleep.

"...Sasuke..." I whispered out before falling into slumber. However, Sakura had to keep guard over us, her sleeping teammates. And I thought it as to be an easy job, but apparently, it wasn't. And even in my sleep, I could hear a noise that was not Sakura's doing. I grew frightened and I wanted to help so badly, but how could I? And as I let out a small drowsy cry, I heard a voice that was not Sakura's.

"Why, hello, Sakura-san..."

---

It was cold when I woke up. And...

Green?

And opening my eyes, I was met with...

...Eyebrows!

My cerulean eyes shot open, and I scrambled out of whoever's arm I was in. Not Sakura's, no! That wasn't Sakura!

My eyes were still blurry from sleep, and fear was clouding my vision as well. And grasping my stomach in panic, I cried out loudly.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

The person stared at me strangely, but began to walk forward. And scooting backwards, I hit a thorn bush, sending little prickles of pain to my hands and my back. As I felt the blood dripping down, I looked up shakily at my captor. He was holding a bandaged hand out to me, and I just stared at it with fear. And picking me up off the grass without my consent, I kicked out at him with a howl.

"I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME, YOU FUCKING-"

"Naruto-kun! Such language!"

I could only think of ONE person who calls me that, and he had nearly killed me, my baby, and my lover only 4 days ago. I set out a punch, and he dodged it easily.

Stop moving around, Itachi! I'm going to kill you!

But I stopped and trembled as I looked around, now with hazy tear-ridden eyes to try and find that dark blue color that was Sasuke.

"WH-What have you done with Sasuke!" I cried out to him.

"Sakura-san has him, Naruto-kun! We're going back to Konoha Gakure to get him his medical treatment from Tsunade-sama!"

Now, I knew Itachi was polite, but he'd never want to go see Tsunade-baba OR get Sasuke some medical treatment. I stiffened as he told me this.

"...Who are you!" I called out to the man. He laughed heartily at me, taking my hand into his.

"Why, Naruto-kun, have you really forgotten me so easily? You've only been gone from Konoha for 2 months or so!"

Wiping away my tears and waiting for my vision to return, I looked up at him.

Rock...

...Lee?

"...How did you find us?" I asked shakily. He smiled brightly, a nice guy pose in tow.

"Gaara-sama can be one great bloodhound, Naruto-kun!"

...Gaara?

"...What are you doing, Lee?"

The young Kazekage stepped down from the trees, scaring me. And as he looked me over with coldly pale green eyes, he turned to Rock Lee.

"...He's pregnant?" he asked Lee in a slightly harsh tone. Lee looked down at my stomach, lifting up my jacket to see the red. I pulled it down roughly from his fingers and tried to hide my bulging baby.

"Please don't tell anyone! Please! They'll kill me!" I cried out pitifully. I was just so desperate to keep this baby; I'd sink down to the lowest of levels, even begging.

"...We weren't going to tell anyone, Naruto-kun. Just calm down," Lee consoled as he held my hand tight, "While you're with me, no one is going to even think about touching your baby! Gaara is quite fond of children anyway, right Gaara-sama?"

Gaara grunted in approval, and I laughed under my breath.

I'd never expect Gaara to like children, and I'd never expect Lee to know so much about the foreboding and shadowy Kazekage...I wonder what's happened while I was gone?

"...Anything important happen while I was away?" I asked as we began walking. Lee looked over at Gaara, and Gaara looked over at Lee, a pink tint to Gaara's face.

"...Guys?" I questioned. Gaara looked away. Lee smiled foolishly.

"...I...Umm... Naruto-kun...Ah...Gaara-sama is...Umm...You know...Too..." Lee stuttered out to me. I raised an eyebrow and looked over at Gaara. He looked just like he used to, so was there a difference I was missing?

"Spit it out, Lee!"

"Ah, he's! Ah-"

Lee patted my stomach lightly, looking at me with big brown eyes.

"...You know!" he whispered. I looked at him, then Gaara, then at Lee again. Lee still had that flushed face and that wide nervous smile while Gaara was staying a reasonable distance away, his arms crossed timidly over his...

...immense stomach...

I looked up at Lee with wide saucer-pan eyes. Lee just laughed loudly at me and took me by the shoulders like a father would do with his son. I could barely walk, the shock getting to my head. And as I turned to look at Gaara again, Lee stopped me.

"Leave him alone, Naruto-kun. He isn't too happy with Shukaku-sama for forcing him to be pregnant, and you staring at him won't help his anger."

"...Shukaku made him?"

"Umm, yes," Lee began with a cough, "Shukaku-sama wasn't too happy with Gaara-sama liking me at all, the fact that Shukaku-sama would not carry out his legacy an eminent factor to the decision. So...Shukaku-sama made him pregnant instead of trying to get him away from me."

I looked up at Lee, that smile still there where he left it.

"But as you can see, Gaara-sama is not taking it very well. Oh, he's happy, don't get him wrong, but he just wishes he had had more time before he rushed into it. Now he thinks it's too early for this."

I slowly nodded, gulping. Lee looked down at my stomach.

"...Did you ever think like that?"

"...Yes," I admitted, a small laugh on my lips, "But then I realized, I'm not waiting for something to magically happen and out of no where comes a baby. Now, I can barely wait for it to be born. And now, I'm thinking it was a little late."

Lee chuckled, looking back at Gaara. Gaara looked up from his sulking mode, thickly black-lined eyes staring at him sadly.

"Gaara-sama would never admit something like that to anyone, maybe even me. He is quite the difficult one to understand sometimes, but when you do, it's all worth it. He's the sweetest thing ever," Lee whispered. But Gaara apparently overheard, and Lee's head was met with a stone. Lee smiled foolishly as a small bruise appeared and growling could be heard coming from the Shukaku boy.

"See what I mean? Gaara expresses his love in stranger ways-Ow." Another stone was thrown at him, and a dramatic waterfall of tears fell from his eyes. I laughed at him as we stepped toward the Konoha gates, now visible to me, but quieted immediately. As we came closer, I slouched back into Lee's arm, my eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"...What's wrong, Naruto-kun? Don't you want to go home?"

"...No. I want to go to my OTHER home."

"...Do you really hate it that much here?"

I nodded, cowering as far back into Lee as I could. But he pushed me passed the gates, despite my cries of protest; I quickly shut my mouth as I was watched by all the villagers silently. I began to tremble as I felt their heavily intoxicating angry glares, most of them landing upon my stomach, now showing through my jacket. Lee looked at the people, and looked down at the shaking boy in his arms that was I. Furrowing his dog brows, he held me tight under his arm as we walked at a fast pace toward the Hokage tower. I could feel everyone's eyes, and there was no chatter and clatter of busy people; they were focusing on me and my belly. Gaara was another story, being Kazekage and lover of Rock Lee: The Green Beast of Konoha, he had nothing to fear. But here was poor Naruto, wielder of the Nine Tailed Fox demon, Kyuubi, and was nothing but an annoying little creep who had stolen the villages last surviving Uchiha for himself. It just angered the village more now that he had escaped his torture and fled with one of Konoha's best medical genin and the great Sasuke Uchiha, Avenger of the Clan.

There was nothing to hope for.

When we stepped only 10 feet away from the tower, we were onslaught with rocks. But thanks to Lee's quick precision, he kicked away the first few until Gaara surrounded us with his Ultimate Defense of sand. I could hear the yelling though the rough sand, the cries of anger and rage, and could hear the rocks pattering against the sand like rain.

And when we reached the front door and walked inside, I immediately burst into tears.
