To wake up in the morning alone was a sad experience for Sasuke. I would know, since he had always been so lonely, and to find that his only company had left, it made him feel beyond miserable. And as he walked outside, looking for me, he was knocked down by a fist to the shoulder. He skid across the grass, the grass-stains in his clothes quite obvious. He shook his head from his daze and looked up to see me hovering over him.

"Get up," I commanded. He just looked at me with wide obsidian eyes.

"What the fuck are you doing, Naruto?"

"Sparring with you. Get up!" I pulled his arm roughly, and he jerked to a standing position. I brought myself into a fighting stance swiftly, waiting for Sasuke.

I've never seen him so confused. And I had to admit, he was cute.

"...Naruto, how could I possibly spar with you!" he shouted. I smiled at him as I decked him in the jaw, and he stumbled backwards.

"By standing up straight and being on the offense, of course," I answered as I threw another punch his way, this one being dodged. His lip was bleeding, and I almost felt like apologizing. But if I did that, it would be against the whole point of trying to spar with him.

I don't want to be weak anymore.

"Naruto, you're with CHILD. I can't be on the fucking offense!" I shouted as I threw out another punch, this one clipping his already bruised shoulder and earning a poorly hidden gasp of pain. I smiled at him again as I let out my legs to trip him. And as he went toppling over onto the ground, bringing up dust as he rolled, I laughed in triumph.

"Oh come on, Sasuke-kun!"

The name given to him by his fan girls was by far the worst attack I could have given him as he glared daggers at me. Oh, did I mention those daggers were on FIRE?

"...Right now, I'm in the mood to kill you..." he growled lowly through clenched teeth, "...But unfortunately, my baby is in your fucking stomach, so I am forced to be a fucking STAND BY."

"Sasuke, you're so cruel. Maybe I'll just run away with your baby and you'll never find me!" My face was as serious as it could be, but on the inside, it couldn't possibly be more the opposite. I forced hot tears to my eyes, and letting them drip down my face, I walked away in a huff.

Kyuubi was laughing so hard, I could barely hear my own thoughts.

Sasuke stared at me as I left, narrowly guilty eyes watching my back. And lurching himself to a stand, he chased after me. And coming only 3 feet away from me, I readied myself.

"Naruto! Please, look, I'm sorry-"

I landed a knee to his gut, and he leaned over it as he coughed in pain. I laughed loudly as I jumped into the tree, leaving the Uchiha blooded boy to grasp at his stomach as the ache throbbed in shock. Letting out a strained grunt, he bit his lip, causing it to bleed even more.

At this point, I would have been crying for forgiveness, but today...

I'm not weak.

It wasn't long before he was bounding after me. And swiftly dodging trees and bush, jumping from one to another, the chase grew slower. I looked over my shoulder to see if he was tired, but apparently, he wasn't. I grinned.

"Going to spar with me now, Sasuke?" I called out. He didn't look angry; he didn't look enthusiastic to catch me,

He looked, more than anything, worried.

"Naruto, please stop now! You know what could happen!" he shouted as we ricocheted off a tree trunk and bounded to another.

"What could happen, Sasuke? Explain!" I laughed out at him. But he looked on the verge of crying, his eyebrows were so furrowed together miserably.

"...Naruto, this isn't funny! I'm not kidding, you could hurt yourself! You could kill the baby, Naruto!" he shouted at me. I took no mind and sped up. But in my own thoughts of what could possibly happen, I hadn't realized the lone branch protruding out from the tree in front of me.

"NARUTO!"

And in the only time we had left, he had grabbed me and huddled me to his chest as not to have the branch hit me, and the splinters exploded everywhere. Sasuke's clenched eyelids twitched as they imbedded themselves in his back, and I just watched him with shock.

...Sasuke?

And before I knew it, we were falling from the tree. Fortunately would not be the right word to use when he quickly latched an arm over a branch. Because at that moment, I was dangling over the branch with only Sasuke's hand keeping me from falling to my death. The cliff was so steep and high, I couldn't even see the bottom. I looked up at him with frightened eyes, and he didn't even have his open.

And it was then that I not only hear a snap,

I felt it.

And I let out a loud scream as my shoulder dislocated itself, and Sasuke flinched and clenched his teeth as I gasped in heavily fogged pain. I was trying to keep the tears in, but they wouldn't stay as I felt the pain entirely engulf my entire left arm. And I cried out to Sasuke, who was panicking at what he should do.

"...Stop! It hurts! Let go!" I cried out to him, and he hissed in pain as he was forced to push against the embedded splinters.

"If I let go, you'll fall! Just stay still, and don't move!" he attempted at calming me down, but it wasn't working as I swayed from my contorted shoulder, pain making me dizzy.

"...Naruto? Naruto, stay awake!" he called out as I tried to bring myself into unconsciousness to get away from the hurting. I slowly lifted my head to look at him, and he looked at me back with worried wide eyes.

"...I can't..." I whispered as my eyelids got droopy. He lightly shook me, and I cried out as it was moved. He whispered an apology to me before looking around, trying to figure out how to get out of this.

If he let us drop, we'd break our legs from the fall.

If he pulled me up, he'd rip my arm right out of the socket.

He looked down at me with worried eyes again, and I was beginning to hate that look more than anything I've ever hated. And when he closed them tightly, I knew this was going to hurt.

I couldn't be more correct.

"Naruto...You're going to hate me after this..." he warned quietly, guilt flooding from his mouth. I just clenched my free fist and bit my lip.

"...I don't know what you are about to do, and I know it's going to hurt, but I could never hate you..." I called to him in a hoarse and frightened tone, and even I could not help sighing as the emotion was lifted from my heavy spirit.

"...I hope so...Just...Close your eyes and try not to think about it...Here we go..." his trembling voice announced to me. I nodded and braced myself.

It started out as barely a nudge, and even that made me whimper. But then it became a swaying motion, and I was just begging for something to squeeze in my fist as the swaying became faster. Tears came from my eyes again, and I feared my arm would completely pop off my torso. As the swaying turned o swinging, I cried out, making Sasuke flinch in guilt. But soon, the swinging had brought my legs high in the air. And as they flung themselves violently over my head, Sasuke let go of my arm and grabbed those limbs instead, throwing me gently into a sitting position atop his shoulder. I poorly suppressed a scream as my shoulder met the tree trunk behind him, but I sighed in relief at my arm not being pulled on.

Sasuke looked up at me as he panted in extreme relief, much like me.

"...I warned you..." he whispered as he brought me down to his lap gently. I closed my eyes as I breathed harshly.

"...I'm not weak, so don't look at me like that..."

"...What?"

"...The way you're looking at me... Stop it."

"...Any way you want me to look at you in particular?"

"...No, just... Not that look..."

He smiled at me with half-lidded eyes, and I narrowed mine and panted.

"I said stop it!"

"...Sorry, love..."

"Argh!"

He kissed me lightly, and I groaned in protest. But as he did it again, I relaxed into it as much as I could.

"...Sorry."

"It's fine, don't worry..."

"...I'm loosing it, you know..." I whispered as my breathing slowed considerably.

"No, you're just having mood swings. Crazy one moment, crying the next, then violent, then sorry, and that's just a pregnancy thing. Don't worry about it, Naruto."

"...Really?"

"Positive," he whispered in my ear as he kissed it.

"...I'm going out, Sasuke..." I called out under my breath. He smiled.

"Good, because I'd hate to have to carry you home crying and sobbing in pain.

I tilted my head to the side, touching his cheek to mine, before biting his nose. He flinched away quickly and rubbed it tenderly.

"Shut up, you bastard," I said to him as I drifted from consciousness. He picked up my limp body and ignoring the splinters digging holes and bringing blood, he raced home for me.

Just for me.
