Sasuke & Naruto

Naruto awoke to a dull throbbing in his stomach. He shifted uneasily. Most of the aching centered around the seal. It felt as if someone had cut him open, stuck chopsticks inside him, swirled it around some, and messily sewed him back up. Not only that but his breath rattled out through a raw throat provided by exhausted lungs. Something stirred; like a slight rustling of the wind from within and that was all the warning Naruto received before-

Raw fury swept up his spine spreading like a virus in his mind.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!

The voice roared in the Naruto's head its tones rolling like thunder through the blondes brain. Naruto whimpered; needle-like pain spearing his mind as the Kyuubi raged lashing at his container. Stop… hurts. Almost immediately the tone died down and the some of the pain from inside his head receded. The Kyuubi was far from placated though, in fact, he was livid as he limped around his cage. Naruto ignored the caged kitsune's hissed murmurings and rolled to his side with a groan. His slender arms were clutched around his stomach cradling and caressing the throbbing flesh almost delicately under his black sweater. The creak of a nearby door forced Naruto to raise his pounding head. He peered blearily at a black blob that slowly focused into-

"SASUKE!" He rasped out through a raw throat. Without a thought, Naruto recklessly lunged for the other boy. Sasuke leapt forward and caught the blond as he fell off the bed with a hoarse shout of pain. "Fuuuck you psychotic bastard! What'd you do to me?" He moaned clutching his stomach. "You better watch out. I'm going to castrate you… then let the Kyuubi kill you! Then I'm going to bring you back again so that I can kill you!"

"If you're quite done, usuratonkachi?" Sasuke replied calmly to all the outraged croaky threats. He settled the blond into the bed lifting the blankets over the still talking boy.

"You're not even listening to me!" Naruto screamed though it came out as nothing but a huffy whisper.

To Naruto's astonishment, which promptly shut him up, the normally stoic boy leaned forward and placed a soothing palm gently over the blondes cheek and stomach. A soft smile lit up the pale boy's face. "Trust me, Naruto." He spoke softly. Naruto stared at him for a few seconds looking lost. Then his face crumpled into a scowl, his lips forming a childish pout.

"I'm still going to kill you." Fine.

"You'll live." I'll explain later.

"Let me stick a kunai in you, swirl it around some, and see if you feel the same!" I'm holding you to that. Sasuke suddenly smirked drawing back slightly. What the… what's the bastard so smug about? To Naruto's horror, he realized that he'd been unconsciously purring ever since the bastard had started to caress his stomach right over the black spirals of the seal. Naruto abruptly wiggled away flopping to his side giving the pale boy his back, but not before shooting Sasuke a look that dared the other boy to say something about what had just happened. He jerked the hem of the black sweater down and proceeded to glare at the wall. Sasuke's smirk only widened. He gracefully got to his feet and left the room leaving the door wide open.

Oi! Brat container! What the hell is going on?

Hell if I know. Naruto grumbled sulkily. He wanted to take a chopstick and jab Sasuke continuously, he wanted for his stomach to stop throbbing like his BLEEP in the morning- okay, bad analogy, but… he flopped back onto his back and stared up at the dull white ceiling. A hand absently scratched at the seal leaving small red streaks.

What is this strange feeling. My stomach… what the hell is wrong with it?

I just told you, I DON'T KNOW!

"Naruto?" Naruto jerked at the sound of his name. When did Sasuke start calling him by his given name? "Come on, I have some water for you." He rolled onto his side with a pout.

"I'm not talking to you." He sulked.

"You just did." He had no warning before Sasuke rolled him around and jerked him up into a reclining position. Naruto stiffened waiting for the burning pain to start. He waited, and waited.

"Hey! It doesn't hurt anymore!" He exclaimed. Without any warning, he suddenly hiked up the hem of his sweater and prodded the seal. Sasuke smirked and pulled up a chair that had been propped up in the far corner.

"Of course, dobe. I know what I'm doing." He shoved the cup of water in the blondes face. "Drink and I'll explain what I did." Naruto shot him a glare but took the cup and quickly gulped down the water. The warm liquid slid down his throat doing much to soothe the raw feeling. He continued to glare at Sasuke over the rim of the cup and when finished, Naruto couldn't resist throwing it at Sasuke's smirking smug face. Sasuke didn't even blink when he caught the cup. Smirk growing, he dropped the cup on the floor, leaned forward bracing his elbows on his knees and planted his chin in his folded hands. "The jutsu that I performed on you has no name. It came from the Hidden Village of Sound through a traveler from the Mitsu Clan in the Northern Regions. They call it the 'child bearing gift'. When the male body with the seal is penetrated and the sperm from the significant other has been released into the 'sealed', it creates a reaction that fertilizes a ready egg made from the 'sealed' one's own tissue. After the egg is fertilized, the egg walls expand into something that can house and support a growing baby. Of course at the end of the term you'd have to cut the stomach open but… you don't get it do you?"

Naruto stared blankly at Sasuke. He suddenly burst out laughing sounding like a deranged criminal with a raspy whispery laugh. "You're so funny, teme! Males? Having babies!" But when Sasuke didn't do anything but smirk smugly at him Naruto knew he wasn't joking. He was still slightly chuckling to himself when it finally hit him. Sasuke meant… Sasuke said… Bright cerulean eyes widened and full slightly reddened lips rounded in an 'O' of horror. There was a heartbeat of silence. Then- "SASUKE YOU FUCKING BASTARD I'M GONNA FUCKING MURDER YOU!" Before he had time to blink Naruto was flat on his back with Sasuke straddling him with his arms pinned to the bed by the other boy's. Sasuke leaned in close.

"You gave me your word." He murmured in a deceptively soft voice. Onyx eyes glittered with an unknown emotion. "Your way of the ninja. Am I wrong to think that you would keep your words?"

Naruto visibly swallowed. His expression went from anger, to denial, and finally stubborn refusal. "Not like this!" He hissed. Sasuke grasped Naruto's chin and forced him to face forward.

"I'm not going to force you. You agreed to the seal-"

"I DID NOT!" Sasuke ignored this and continued.

"And you must agree to the sex in order for you to be successfully impregnated."

Naruto flushed crimson. "S-s-sex?" He sputtered.

Sasuke blinked. "You're a virgin aren't you?" He suddenly asked bluntly. Naruto's flush became tomato red.

"SASUKE!" He screeched. His lower lip jutted out into a pout. Contrary to popular belief, and just because he hung out with Ero-senin didn't mean that he… that he… well you know.

The tentative smirk became a full blown cat-ate-the-canary-and-then-some smile. Naruto shifted almost uncomfortably. He quickly considered his options and realized that no matter what happens, Sasuke was planning to impregnate him anyway. And that meant… hot heavy sex. Naruto shuddered. He was a healthy male adult and he would be lying if he said Sasuke wasn't attractive. So maybe this wasn't such a bad idea. And maybe… maybe… oh who was he kidding! Sasuke said that he would only get pregnant if Sasuke ca… ca… came in him. Another mental shudder. And was it so bad to kiss the other boy? No. Naruto suddenly smirked relishing the spark of confusion in Sasuke's onyx eyes. "A deal." He challenged. The other teen raised an eyebrow. Naruto wiggled his hands free and shoved Sasuke slightly away from himself. He sat up and licked his lips. "If you kiss me and I make some kind of noise… I'm…" Naruto shuddered whether from disgust or hidden pleasure at some unknown thought, Sasuke didn't know. "I'm yours for the taking. If," He licked his lips again. "if I don't make any noise then you take this stupid seal off of me, let me go and you come back with me." Naruto studied the other boy before holding out a hand. "Deal?" Sasuke stared at the tanned hand and Naruto suddenly had this uneasy feeling that he'd just signed his death warrant. He was just about to jerk his hand back and yell that he was just kidding when the whole cat-ate-the-canary-and-then-some smile crawled across Sasuke's pale face. A slender yet powerful hand closed around his and he was not so gently tugged forward.

Sasuke closed the final distance between them, "Deal," he breathed before captured the blondes lush bottom lip with his teeth. Naruto's lips parted with a slightly gasp. A warm tongue glided over the silky smooth flesh before darting in to plunder the warm depths of Naruto's mouth. Naruto screwed up his face and resisted the urge to gnaw on the other's tongue. It felt funny…very different from their dreams. It was above all else… wet. Not entirely unpleasant and… it was actually… heat coiled in his stomach. The kyuubi was mighty pleased by the turn of events it seemed. The angry growling gradually morphed into a rumbling purr of satisfaction that tingled up Naruto's spin. There was a tingling in the back of his scalp… his body suddenly and quite simply melted. He couldn't stop the satisfied humming from escaping even if he'd tried. Naruto was floating on a cloud of bright orange cotton candy flavored with his favorite ramen. Lining the cloud was silver chopsticks, the special silver chopsticks he'd found outside a store when he was only three. And it smelled… it smelled… like Sasuke!

Naruto broke away falling hard on his butt. The silver cloudy haze that had obscured his vision had broken and he mourned the loss of his orange ramen cotton candy. But the loud smack of their parting lips rung too loudly in his ears and he glared up at the flushed but smugly smirking face above him. He huffed then sighed tiredly. "Honestly Sasuke, I'm a-attracted to you… but the idea of you and me having sex… erm.." He flushed losing the sudden surge of courage. He'd heard from Ero-senin and Iruka-sensei that it hurt. And it wasn't that he couldn't tolerate the pain but… Naruto studied Sasuke intently. The other boy was slightly flushed. A pink tinge running from his cheeks down his neck and disappearing into the collar of his black tee. Once onyx eyes were surround by red, a red that was rapidly seeping into the black. Oh shit. Naruto thought. He leaned forward with his hands behind his back. His fingers were rapidly shaping out the signs for a teleportation jutsu. He grinned. "Hey Sasuke… about the deal…"

"You're not backing out are you, Naruto?" Sasuke practically purred. Naruto hesitated stumbling over the last signs slightly before resuming the fast pace.

"No," He replied cheerfully. "We made a deal and I wont go back on my word… but, you have to catch me first!" He crowed just as the last sign was completed.

Sasuke was only surprised for a second as the smoke rapidly cleared away from where Naruto had sat. Then his eyes went completely red as the commas within started to spin crazily. An all too animalistic grin stretched across his face. "All right dobe, if that's the way you want it." He murmured before he too vanished with a slight disturbance of the air.

The Group - Kakashi, Iruka, Shikamaru, Neji, Gaara, & Lee

The slight crackle had Shikamaru freezing in his tracks. He cursed softly and quickly gestured for everyone to still. Kakashi bent down and lazily scanned the grass. "Trip wire?" Shikamaru inquired softly.

"Hai, hai, hai…. I was wondering when we would hit the traps." Kakashi replied absently. Iruka frowned.

" Meaning we're getting closer?" He asked. Kakashi shrugged and straightened.

"Maybe, maybe not." He replied. "Gaara-san? You think you can block us if anyone accidentally triggers one?"

Gaara stared at Kakashi. Or he looked like he was staring at Kakashi when in reality he was studying the surroundings. The wire ran across the ground in a straight line. But so did the thousands of other ones that gridded the forest floor. Not to mention the raised ones that overlapped the ground level. In fact, it was like a large web of razor sharp wires that might or might not trigger a bomb but would definitely cut to the bone. He shrugged.

"Probably not." He replied. He raised a finger tracing the mostly invincible lines. "It is too intricate. Even if we tried to cross we would still have to worry about the ones raised." He pointed out. Iruka's frown deepened. Lee's head was tilted, his bowl cut hair style sliding to one slid.

"Can we cross if we could see the wires?" He asked. Beside him Neji had already activated his Byakugan. His pupil-less eyes were rapidly moving back and forth as it traced the wires.

"There's a pattern. I could probably get through using Byakugan but that would drain my chakra." He commented closing his eyes. "If you can see the wires, you can probably slip through them. I don't detect nor see any other traps."

"It's as if he knows were coming after Naruto-kun and he doesn't want to stop us… just … I don't know, stall us or something." Lee said.

Shikamaru was deep in through as he stared at the fairly innocent looking trees before them. "Hmm… Gaara, can you use your sand, without activating the wires, to show us the layout?"

Gaara switched his gaze from a mentally squirming Kakashi to the shadow-nin. Then he transferred his gaze to stare thoughtfully at the wires. He finally shrugged. A thin trickle of sand streamed out of the gourd strapped to his back. It moved and formed into a long thinly layered wall before moving slowly forward. What it left behind was an intricate web of wires unveiled to their eyes. Sand particles glittered in the sunlight covering every inch of wire it touched.

"Shit." Shikamaru sighed.

"That's like a mile forward and roughly… looks like three to four miles wide." Iruka commented quickly calculating from what he saw. Round black eyes moved rapidly back and forth.

"We can do this!" Lee declared confidently. "Just follow me!" And before anyone could say anything, the most flexible of the group plunged onward. Twisting and sliding, ducking and dancing from under wires, to over them, he gradually led them forward. The pace was agonizingly slow as they painstakingly moved forward after the green spandex clad Lee. Thirty minutes in, the group reached a strange clear spot with enough room for everyone to lay down with their arms spread. Kakashi double checked the area before declaring it camp safe. With a sigh of relief from everyone in the group, Lee included, they settled down for the afternoon.

All right, thank you for reading! Please do keep reviewing because yes, it keeps me going. I'm sorry this took me so long to finish but I kept getting discouraged for a while. I hope the whole pregnancy thing sounds believable… please feel free to critique my work, flames are welcome. And please do review!

Sorry for the lack of Shino/Kiba action. They'll be in the first scene next chapter. But don't be disappointed if you're here only for Sasu/Naru… lol, they'll be moving along quite nicely along with the rest of the characters.

Again thank you and remember to review !
