Chapter 30
Two months later I was crouched on the hard tiled floor of the bathroom in our new house. It was near the place of my old house and was three bedrooms, extras for the genin that stayed on long training times. As I said before I was crouched on the floor. I was hunched over the toilet seat with my hair dangling 2 inches from the water. I had that feeling that you were going to be sick, the swirly feeling, but then nothing comes out. I suddenly started gagging and coughing and puked up into the toilet for the fifth time in 10 minutes. I took another deep breath and closed my eyes as the brownish liquid slid out my mouth again. My throat hurt and I was so tired it was about 3 in the morning and I had training in the morning. I slumped onto the floor again as the muscles relaxed. I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Aiko, Aiko open the door!" shouted Shino from the other side. Shit I probably woke him up again. I stood up and opened the door shakily and stumbled forward. He caught me and I looked up tiredly.
"You need to go see the doctors in the morning," he stated bluntly
"Yeh glad you noticed genius," I muttered
"I'm just worried about you," he said sadly
"I know but I'm fine," I replied, he still didn't cheer up "Fine, if it makes you happy I'll go in the morning but can I please go to sleep," I said yawning, he smiled and nodded as I walked slowly back to bed. I slid in and same for him after. I was slowly pulled towards him as he snuggled back into me again. I sighed again. Lurching feeling. I lunged out of his arms again and made a mad dash to the bathroom and I heard him groan. Opppps.
I walked to the Hokage's office to get checked out. I was only gonna let Tsunade look at me if it's anything.
"Ohayo Tsunade-chan" I said waving to her
"Oh hey Aiko" she said "What can I do for you?" she asked
"Well for the past few days I have been feeling really sick and I dunno what it is," I said she nodded smirking a bit. I lay down on the couch and she came over slowly and closed her eyes. She put her hand on my stomach and the bright green colour came to it. She nodded and 'hmmmm'ed to me….This is too suspicious…..her face scrunched…..Not good.
"Well I know what it is," she said smiling
"What is it?" I asked
"Shino's going to be happy," she continued
"What is it?" I asked again
"I'm so happy right now," she stalled
"What the hell is it? Tell me god damn it!" I shouted at her, she smirked and looked at me slyly, god knows what's going through her head.
"You're pregnant," she said smiling……….Mind just flat lined……..I gaped at her and sub consciously my arm moved to my stomach.
"I'm pregnant?" I asked
"Hai, congrats!" she cheered; I turned and smiled then squealed and started jumping up and down with her. We looked like idiots. Shame Jiraiya had to see us.
"She's what?" he asked
"Pregnant!" she squealed
"Ooooo tell me how," he said pulling out a notepad; I sighed and whacked his head.
"I'm not telling you," I said angrily
"Fine," he said sadly
"Bye Tsunade-chan, ero-sennin," I called
"Oh wait Aiko one other thing, I have to assign a new successor soon and I want to put you," she called; I froze and turned slowly to face her.
"No," I said bluntly "I refuse,"
"You can't," she replied sternly, I sighed
"When's it announced?" I asked
"Tomorrow," she replied, I nodded and quickly exited to the training grounds. I found most of the genin, chunin and jounin teams training there and I stopped by our training area. It was lunch time and they had stopped eating some food I had made. Inoki and Shimai were there and crawling around on their knees and hands or rolling on their stomachs. I slowly put my hand on my stomach.
"Ohayo Aiko, how was your appointment?" asked Kiba winking
"It was okay but can I talk to Shino quickly," I said pulling my husband away from the group.
"What's the matter Aiko? Did she know what the matter was?" he asked
"Ano……yeh," I said nervously
"What is it?" he asked
"Shino," I said taking a deep breath "I'm pregnant," I said flatly, he looked shocked, and then smiled widely
"That's…great!" he said hugging me tightly, I squealed as I was lifted off the ground and I returned the hug. He let me go slowly ad we sighed.
"That's great but how many months along?" he asked
"I think about 2," I said smiling; I took his hand and dragged him back to the others who were looking on smiling.
"Guess what guys," I said smiling
"I think we can guess," said Naruto flatly
"Congratulations," said Sasuke
"Thanks," I replied
"How many months?" asked Tenten Excitedly?
"2 I think," I replied Akane and Yuki ran over and started glaring at Shino but were staring at my stomach and Yuki poked it.
"How come there's no lump," said Yuki
"Because I'm not that far along," I answered "Maybe next month it will show," I said. I suddenly lurched forward and turned on my heel and ran past all the other training areas and to the big forest on the other side. I jumped over the bush and started gagging into the bush. Someone pulled my hair up and I saw Sasuke crouch next to me.
"Arigatou Sasuke-kun," I said
"Its nothing," he answered
"Sasuke I need your help," I said
"Hai, what is it?" he asked
"Tsunade announced her successor, its me, she's telling Konoha tomorrow and then from there on I have to take half the responsibility of Hokage until she steps down," I said, Sasuke nodded "Naruto's not going to be happy and I don't want this 'job'" I said gagging and puking again "You need to help me if he loses it again, I have a plan to get out of it," I finished
"Alright, you helped me and I'll help you," he said I nodded and stood up feeling better.
"Let's go back," I said wiping the rest of the liquid away whilst going back. I smiled as I sat down and refused the food in fear of puking again. I sighed inwardly, tomorrow wasn't going to go well……..
I was standing in the front of the crowd with everyone else waiting for the announcement. Tsunade came and started talking.
"Today I'm announcing my successor as Hokage," she said, I fidgeted nervously "I have made a choice although there were 3 possible candidates for it. I here by declare…" I closed my eyes and breathed in hard "Aiko," she finished, I scrunched my eyes and noticed Naruto looked upset and depressed when I opened them. All his hard work to get where he was had been wasted. I walked forward with eyes boring into my back. I stood next to her and glared at her. I do not want this! I shouted at myself.
"Aiko I declare you my successor as of now," she said handing over a scroll solemnly
"Hai," I replied shortly the anger evident in my voice "I accept" I answered, I took the scroll with the signatures of past Hokage's on it. I turned to the crowd and saw Naruto looking worse then upset. Suicidal. I blinked at them and closed my eyes taking a deep breath. Time for a speech. Lecture Mode.
"I suppose it is time for a new Hokage but not me. I only accepted this because I was forced. The only reason I got it was because I'm a relative of Tsunade-sama. But if I have to then I will already put one new thing in order as my first and last act as Hokage. I pass this onto the rightful owner of it. Uzumaki Naruto!" I called to the young man walking away through the crowd. He stopped and turned I smiled and knew Tsunade was as well but I just made enemies of the elders. The crowd moved and he came through it. As he came up on stage I smiled and handed the scroll over. I think for the first time in my life here I had witnessed Naruto cry. I smiled again and hugged him.
"Congratulations!" I cried smiling, the crowd burst into cheers and Naruto smiled again.
"Thank you so much Aiko," he whispered
"Cheer up, I didn't want it, no offence," I said
"None taken," he replied.
"Later dude I need to get to a bathroom," I said vanishing with my hand over my mouth. I made it to the bathroom and puked into the toilet. I sighed as it subsided and closed my eyes. The next few months are gonna be hell. But it'll be worth it, I hope…….
A/N: The next chapter is probably going to be the end of this part BUT there is a seqeal and I have been thinking about it. It'll probably be set in the future and in 3rd person point of view not Aiko's…..it'll make it easier…..Enjoy
