Remember to review!

After Konohamaru dragged all of the boys into the house I went to take a long hot bath. I made sure the water wasn't too hot or else it could harm the baby. After the bath, I made my rounds around the house. Kato, Konohamaru and Sasuke were in one room. Kato and Konohamru were sharing a bed while Sasuke was in the other one. I quietly closed the door and made my way towards my room. I peeked in to see if my boyfriend was still asleep. He looked so peaceful, he probably hasn't received a full 8 hours of sleep in weeks.

I was still upset at the fact that Naruto and Sasuke had a falling out but on the other hand, it probably relieved some stress that they were holding in. Naruto told me how he saw signs of Sasuke having a panic attack after they received the dead body from the tunnel. I felt so bad for him, I knew he was diagnosed with PTSD and that probably triggered it. He was never the type to open up and talk about his feelings but he told Naruto how those dead bodies in the tunnels really fucked with him.

I was on my way to bed but I needed to take one of my supplements. I have found out that drinking tea with it made it go down easier plus our baby really loved tea. I grabbed the tea kettle and filled it with water. I placed the kettle on the stove so the water could boil. "Where are those pills?" I glanced around the kitchen looking for the pills. The last place I had them was the living room. After we came in from outside I placed them in the kitchen.

I walked out into the living room for my pills. It was still a wreck but at least the couches were intact.

"Are you looking for these?"

The voice led to the other end of the living room. There was a man standing in the living room. He had my pill bottle in one hand and a scroll in the other. A laugh escaped his lips as he began to walk closer to me.

"Who are you?"

"We haven't met yet but I'm Tezo and you're Sakura Haruno."

He extended his hand out for me to shake but I politely declined. He motioned for me to sit on the couch. Instead of walking to the couch, I tried to run to the room where Naruto was. He quickly grabbed me, pulling me towards his body. He harshly grabbed my chin making me look up at him. His mouth was inches away from my ear. I could feel his breath on my neck.

"I have a kunai pointed at both of the boy's throats so if you don't want them to die I'd advise you to comply. Do you understand me?" I shook my head lightly. "Good, I'm not here to cause any problems...well not yet. I'm here because you guys have something that I want."

"Fuck off!" I spat harshly, I tried to remove myself from the grasps of his hands but it was pointless. He must have planned to attack me when I was low on my medications. I could barely even run, my legs were minutes away from giving out.

"Not until you give me the stone."

I scoffed, "What stone?"

He released my chin from his grasp. He pulled me onto the couch forcing me to sit there. Tezo took a seat across from me with his elbows on his knees and his hands on his cheeks. A smile was plastered on his face. "The stone that you guys have. I'm not dumb, I know you have it."

"Naruto!"

A sinister laugh escaped his lips. He sat back in the chair crossing his legs as he did. He had one arm draped across the chair while the other one was in his lap.

"You can scream all you want but he can't hear you. You even try to run but he won't see you. You're trapped until I say so."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, you see I have a special gift to control things just like Kato. You see I'm not as strong as the brat. I have the ability to disappear within thin air. I can cast a curtain over my body and someone else's as well which causes them to disappear too. I could kill you without you even knowing. I could see you with you knowing I'm even there…..see."

I watched as Tezo disappeared into the air."Come here." Curiosity got the best of me. I walked over to the couch where I last saw him. I reached out where he was and touched him. I felt that he was still there, I knew there was a catch to his abilities.

"So you can disappear yet you can't go that far. If you do then your ability will wear off."

"You're a smart girl. When I cast my ability I only have a limited time before it wears off. It does take a toll on my body so that's why I rarely use it." Tezo nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders. He motioned for me to sit back across from him.

I sat back down where I originally was. I was now intrigued by the man who was sitting across from me. "If you rarely use that then what do you use?"

"I'd tell you but-"

"You have to kill me right?" I felt one up my eyebrows lift in the air. It was something that everyone would say and it was getting quite played out. I was now used to that type of threat.

"What!? No! I would never kill a pregnant lady but if you weren't then I'd probably."

"Can you tell me how Kato gained his abilities?"

He sat there with a blank expression on his face. For him to be an 'enemy' he was a weird guy. He almost reminds me of Naruto in a way. "Umm, I'm the enemy here. I'm supposed to make you scared and all of that crazy shit."

"If you wanted to scare me or kill me then you would have already. If you wanted to kill or take Kato then you would have. The thing is you don't want to."

He chuckled, "I love a smart woman."

"I hate dumb men and yet I'm still with one." I rolled my eyes at him. He licked his lips causing me to cringe. He was trying way too hard right now.

"I'M NOT FLIRTING WITH YOU! MY LIPS WERE DRY...IT'S FREAKING COLD IN HERE!" Tezo rolled his eyes. He grabbed a blanket from the small couch then walked back to the big couch. He sat there crisscrossed with the blanket around his shoulders. What do you want to know about Sakura?"

"Everything Tezo."

"Well if you want to go back from the beginning Kato, Akane, and I come from a very discrete clan. No one knew about our clans because they were too focused on the Pein guy. After Pein died our village became a ghost town. No one gives a shit about our village or clan. There are only 3 of us remaining now and Kato is one of them. In order to get your powers, you have to kill someone close to you. My grandpa was my first victim. I gained the ability to regrow limbs. My next victim was my cousin who had the ability to teleport but the thing is I never learned how to use it. Then after my cousin, I murdered my Mom for her ability to disappear. Akane was after I've always wanted to murder her for her abilities but I couldn't. Now that I have it, I can erase memories or mess with people's minds."

I sat there in shock. I have never heard anything about this clan or their abilities. You would have to be a clan member in order to gain this ability but Akane was never a part of a clan. She told me this herself, so how could she have such an ability? How could Kato have an ability if the person who was getting murdered had to be a close relative….. "Oh my gosh."

"About time you caught on Sakura! I've been waiting for you to say something."

I glanced over at the man in shock. He wasn't even taking the situation seriously. He just sat there with the blanket on top of his head.

"Wait so Kato has an ability so that means his mom or dad had to be from your clan. Akane made a clear statement that she was not from any type of clan. That's why she could not protect her or Kato since her husband is dead. Kato murdered his dad when he was four so that means he gained his ability from his dad but Akane said he was strong enough to kill his dad so therefore he must have murdered someone before he killed his dad."

"He did. He murdered his older brother for his ability."

"He was only four how could he manage to murder someone!?"

"With a little push, you can do anything.'

"Wait a minute! If you know all of this, Kato is one of the only ones remaining. That means you guys are closely related. In order for you to gain Akane's powers that means you have to be related to Akane somehow. You want Kato so badly so that means you have to be related to him by blood.

"What can I say he has always been my favorite nephew."

"You bastard! You made him kill his father and brother!" All of the dots were now connecting. He sat all of this up. He's the reason why Kato's father is dead. He's behind everything that has been happening to us.

"My brother has always been a powerful man. He took over after I had murdered our grandfather. I left the clan and waited for my opportunity to strike. After Kato was born I knew he would be the perfect person to help me kill his dad. I couldn't do it, I was too weak. I knew if I got Kato to murder his older brother then his dad. I could have Kato's abilities. Just imagine how powerful I would be but Akane being the bitch that she was she left and disappeared, we finally caught up to her to get the boy. Akane begged for us not to kill the boy and she claimed that she wiped his memory. I checked for myself and it's true so we're in no rush to get the boy. We knew she was going to run her mouth eventually so we killed her before we could say anything reckless. I knew that seal we placed on her mouth wouldn't keep her quiet for long."

"So why don't you get him and kill him now? Why do you keep terrorizing us?"

"Well, Kato has an ability that comes every million years in our clan. You have to go through a whole ceremony to gain his ability and it also has to be a full moon at midnight. If I were to try to kill him now I'd just die but if I have back up then we probably wouldn't die. Plus Konoha would just get in the way so we don't need to pick a fight now."

"What about the stone?"

"The stone is a dangerous item. If it gets in the wrong hands it can absorb any type of chakra and make you the host. My brother had the stone, that's how Akane received her powers. The night he was murdered by Kato it disappeared. That stone is so powerful I can suck the power out of the nine tails and place it in me."

"So what you're telling me is that you and Kato come from a clan where you murder each other for powers. Once you do that you gain the other person's ability. Kato murdered his dad and brother which gave him his abilities. Akane took Kato away from you guys but you found her and forced her to come here to spread a virus."

An evil smirk replaced the smile on his face. The room felt like it had dropped several degrees. There was an eerie feeling in the room. It felt like someone had been murdered or was it just fear.

"You bitch, I never said anything about her spreading a virus so you must know something."

He moved so fast I couldn't keep up. He had a kunai pressed against my neck. I winced in pain as I felt her tear some of the skin around my neck. Tears brimmed my eyes as I felt my blood run down my neck onto my chest.

"Wow, you're losing blood and chakra. I'd hate to be you."

He laughed in my face as I cried out in pain. I tried to push him away but I was supposed to take my supplements minutes ago. He grabbed my arms, forcing me to stop touching him.

"I don't know anything about a stone. I barely knew anything about Kato's abilities. I'm just as confused as you are!"

He bent down to my ear brushing my hair out of his way. "I can read your mind right now. It's one of my other abilities. I know that you don't know but I do know that you need one of those chakra supplements right now….wow what is this chakra?"

Tezo went down to touch my belly. I quickly smacked his hand away. He could touch or beat me for the rest of the night but he will never get to touch my baby.

"Don't you dare touch me!"

"I can feel the nine tails energy protruding from you. I didn't know you could carry a child with that gene."

"I didn't know either." I wipe the tears from my eyes. He glanced down at the medical bottle that was in his hands. I took this opportunity to push him away from me. I ran from the couch to the other side of the room. I wanted to get as far away from him as I could get.

"Hmm, so you take these pills because you can't keep up with how much chakra your child needs. If I were you I would just kill it. You're just keeping a baby that's slowly killing you but on the other hand, I want you to keep it."

"Of course I'm going to keep my baby, what's wrong with you!?"

"Good because if I ever get that stone I'm coming after you and that baby. Maybe we could start a new life or something. That baby could help me in the future. Your child has both of his parent's chakra amounts. As for you my queen if you don't comply then I'll just kill you and get your chakra. I would love to be able to heal myself."

"You're fucking crazy! I would rather die than go with you!"

"Shut up, you're starting to annoy me now. You have three days to find and get me that stone. If you don't, ``he laughed, "then you'll see what happens."

"You're….crazy."

I was on the verge of falling down. I was standing for too long. All of the remaining energy I had I used to push him away from me. I need a chakra pill now but he had them.

"Ahh seems like it's time for your daily dosage. Here, don't let me keep you waiting."

He took the pill and placed them on the fathered table away from me. There was no way I was going to make it to the pills. I had now fallen to my knees. I tried my best to crawl over there but I could barely move my neck. There was no way I could heal that either.

"I would sit here and watch you kid kill you slowly but my ability is starting to wear off and the last thing I need is Konoha shinobi on my ass. Good Night Sakura-chan, I wish you and the baby luck."

He disappeared again but this time I knew he was gone. That feeling that I had before left the area. Now I needed to focus on getting my medicine before I completely blacked. I knew if my eyes shut then I would die from chakra exhaustion. I could activate my strength of a hundredth seal but I wouldn't want to cause the baby much harm. I tried to scream out for help but my throat hurt. He didn't cut too deep but it was deep enough so I couldn't scream or talk.

'I can't die here.'

I couldn't bring myself to think that I was dying but that was actually happening. I was the worst mother on the planet. I can't even provide my child with chakra to live. He was going to suffer just like me. We were both going to die on this floor if I didn't do anything.

'There was nothing I could do.'

I began to cry as I thought of how Naruto would react to seeing us both on the ground. He would never forgive himself. He would probably go insane. He always wanted a family and I was ready to go give him one. I never knew that it was going to be this hard.

'What am I going to do?'

More tears started to fall out of my eyes as I thought of Naruto. I wanted to grow old with that idiot. I wanted to see him accomplish his dreams with me standing right there beside him. I wanted to walk down the aisle with my dad on one arm and Naruto standing there at the altar with that big stupid grin of his. I loved that grin so much.

A knock at the door broke me from my train of thoughts. Whoever was behind the door kept knocking. It was only 9 at night so it had to be someone who was close to us. I tried to scream out but my voice was hoarse from crying and the cut on my neck. They had finally opened the door to our home. I tried to make some type of noise to get them to hear me.

"Sakura honey! Why are you on the floor!? Baby what happened to your neck!?"

I cried out as I heard my mom's voice. I never needed her more than I needed her now. She cradled my head in her lap as she sat down. I shook my head and pointed to the pill bottle that was on the table. My mom quickly ran over there and handed me the bottle. I held up a number four on my finger so she could put four pills in my mouth.

"What are these for?"

I glanced down at my belly which was now bigger than it was yesterday. My mom nodded her head before pulling my head back into her lap. She rubbed my back as laid there in her arms.

"How long before you start to feel better?"

I held up the number five to let her know that they usually worked in five minutes.

"My gosh why are you getting hurt? Look at your neck!? How did this even happen? I came over here to give you and Naruto some homemade food and I walked in to see this crazy mess. I even brought Kato some chips and ice cream."

"Thank you, mom." My voice was barely a whisper. My body ached and I felt a headache coming. I just needed to sleep.

"You're welcome. Let's get you cleaned up so you can go to bed. Maybe I should spend the night with you so I can check up on you. Where is Naruto anyway?"

"Long story mom, I'll tell you in the morning, and there's no room for you to stay. I'll be fine."

My mom helped me clean my wound in the bathroom. The cut wasn't deep like I had imagined but it was going to leave a scar. I knew I would have to mentally prepare myself for Naruto's wrath. My mom put up her homemade meals in the kitchen for us in the morning. She even left snacks and juices for Kato and Konohamaru by their beds. After I had finished cleaning myself up my mom had helped me to bed. Naruto was on the other side of the bed with his mouth comply opened. Silent snores were escaping his lips.

"I'll be here before the sun can even touch the sky. I love you Sakura."

"I love you too Mom."

Kato is one of my favorites! I love that kid so much! remember to review!
