Shikamaru
2 week later...
- Do you think we should leave this open to the public? Our coronation? - I asked - Like a show? Why?
- Why not? - Ino questioned me again
- That would be a mess! - Sakura yelled from across the table - You would have to have good arguments to convince Tsunade of this bullshit, Ino!
- Please calm down - Kiba begged - My ears are hurting, I can't take this screaming anymore, it's been weeks!
- Ino, why do you want this? - Naruto asked - Don't you already think that we are famous and appear in the news daily enough? And it's only gotten worse every month
- Naruto is right - Choji agreed - There are people who are more shy and who don't like this exposure - for sure he was referring to Hinata and Shino
- Wow! First time you agree with the asshole! - Ino got up - Spare me
- Earlier this year we could go out and interact with people, but the more famous we get, the more we are deprived of normal activities! - Sakura got up too - My college is hell! I feel watched all the time, in addition to the mean comments
- Oh... Poor rich girl! - Ino clapped her hands on the table and I remained silent - Even because it must be horrible to have money, look how sad we are - she made a sad face - This is a lot of rich people's problem here
- Grow up Ino! - Sakura said
- ''Look, I have money and I want to pretend to be a normal person" - she tried to imitate Sakura's voice - Or even better "Look, I'm complaining because I'm going to get richer", accept Sakura! You were chosen to receive this, do you know how many people in this country were not so lucky? - Ino argued against her
- You can't boil it all down to money, Ino - Sakura argued - There are things that just can't be bought
- I can and I will! - she screamed
- Oh heavens, we're seven years old again - Sakura replied rolling her eyes
- Please, we're all on the same side here - I said trying to be calm
- It's not possible that only I see the opportunity in this, people! - she spoke again
- First - I got up and interrupted the two - Sit down, and keep it down, this is an official meeting, not a party - I tried to control the situation - And second, explain yourself Ino and do it in a way that we can understand your thinking - I advised - And maybe we can agree with him
-Alright...- she took a deep breath and appeared that I managed to calm her down so that she could finally argue about her idea - I don't want to turn anyone's life into hell... But this is a unique opportunity for we! Think about it, people know us but there are some who hate us, they are afraid of us, they think we are petty and spoiled and that we don't care about the good of our country, we will be the next bosses and leaders of this nation, we need to show that they can trust us, the old generation will no longer be here to protect us - she concluded - It will be an open event, just like the moon festival! Televised to all countries, this only happens every two decades! Or more!
- But Ino... - I tried to speak
- I'm not done yet - she gave me a terrifying look - I know you don't follow the news... But...
Ino picked up a newspaper and threw it in the middle of the oval table we were sitting at. There were other people like Hinata and Shino, but they would hardly go against anything here. I've talked to both of them and they've had wonderful ideas, each will play an important role in making this happen. But now I seem to understand why Ino wanted to turn this into a big circus. She was thinking about us. Mainly me. What the news said was not pleasant.
"NEW SECRETS ABOUT THE COUNTRY OF WIND"
"In recent weeks, the country of the wind has been highlighted and #1 in the world's most discussed topics. New information has been pouring in from all over claiming that a coup d'etat has taken place and that the city of Sunagakure is experiencing chaos! Civil wars have happened around and on the borders, scaring the neighboring countries and according to sources, the supposed leader and Kazekage of the country is in a coma! Thus leaving the country leaderless and open to further attacks! What else is that desert hiding?"
- I didn't know this was circulating... - when I finished reading it out loud, absolute silence fell.
- Well... I ordered them to be taken out of circulation but you know, once information gets on the internet it's hard to erase it completely - Ino finally sat down and calmed down like Sakura - But my people are doing their best I guarantee
- How long? - Sakura asked - When is this newspaper from?
- From a week ago - Ino replied
- Shit - and Kiba completed - How are Kankuro and Gaara dealing with this? - he asked
I don't know...- I replied
- My plan is: to bring the world's attention to us - Ino spoke with a certain delight - They need our help, with this event the world won't talk about anything else for the next few weeks and will serve as a smokescreen while we try to fix it things over there, so we help them and make the people believe that we are really close friends with them... In fact, a leader without his people is not a leader
- If you had explained it before - Naruto replied
- Believe me, I tried! - She completed - We will need to create fundraising dinners, parties, social projects, we will need to be in the media and that included gossip sites, all this until the coronation arrives and when it arrives, it will need to be epic! And until then... Let's pray that Temari has already woken up and fixed this mess - when she said my heart sank
- Alright... - I agreed.
- So, I ask for everyone's collaboration - she said centered - Make the Konoha media talk only about you, anyway, bad, good. And another thing Shikamaru - she called me - Don't think that it will be easy to assume to the public your relationship with Temari and even more with that... - I understood why Ino didn't want to mention that for now
- I know... - I grumbled and thought about the other part, the one I hadn't told yet, that would only be worse - All in favor of Ino's plan? - I asked
- Yes - came out in unison
- Great - I replied - I declare this meeting closed, we will meet at the same time next week to follow our progress with this project and start preparing things for the coronation, Tsunade's permission - I looked at Sakura and she nodded - And the organization and decoration
- You seem so important talking like that - Kiba made fun of
- It's not my fault if you elected me as your representative - I shrugged and stood up.
- Later we'll go out for a drink - Naruto said - But only the boys
- We had other plans, you idiots - Ino replied - Because now we have a lot to do, don't we, Sakura? - she laughed
- Well, and you don't make it easy - Sakura replied, crestfallen.
- I'm going to... - At that moment I feel my cell phone vibrate in my pocket
It was Gaara. He was calling me and soon I thought: Temari. Had she woken up? I wasn't next to her but what the fuck! I took the cell phone out of my pocket while my mind thought of a thousand things. I had to go back to Suna. I couldn't leave the boys alone for too long either, they're not used to dealing with it. I picked up my cell phone and answered.
call on
- Gaara? - I asked - What happened? Did something happen?
- Shikamaru - he replied - Did you see the newspaper? - there shit
- Yes... I... I just saw it - I replied - I didn't know that news like this has been circulating
- Things have been a little unstable here in Sunagakure - he said - We need help, me and Kankuro are not Temari, she would know how to deal with this better
- I know... - My heart squeezed just for that - Tomorrow I'll be there, Ino was already taking care of that too
- Thanks, see you soon - he hung up
call off
It had been a month since Temari still woke up. I don't know what else to do, this time is killing me. How long will it take for her to recover? Can't she go on like this and what if they find out and leak that she's pregnant? This would generate a great deal of unnecessary commotion. It's something we don't need right now. We already have too many problems to deal with. I don't know how but I needed to get her here. She would be more safe here.
Shikadai was already five months old. I don't know the exact date but I believe it's the first week of the month, from what Sakura told me. That was more than half of the pregnancy. The time I was there I felt him move Temari's belly and I thought how sad she is to miss these moments... And what keeps hammering in my head is that she has the possibility to wake up without her memories, what makes me shiver, what if she even forgets she's pregnant? That would be awful. And in the other situation, even if she wakes up remembering what happened last time... A month has passed, a lot has happened and her last memory is of being thrown off a cliff. I had no time to waste. I had to get back to Suna and fix some things. The boys need me. The rest of the folks here could make do with getting things ready for the event. I didn't want to be that important to them, but they chose me to represent us, so even if they do something, it must pass me by, what a headache. I needed sleep. In addition to anxiety attacks, nightmares have accompanied me at night.
Everything has been so tiring that I can't wait for the end of this year. The coronation will be over. I will take my place in the clan, Shikadai will already be born and if the heavens bless us Temari will be awake, well and healthy. By my side. Sunagakure's problems will no longer be ours, not entirely, and we can enjoy ourselves and our family. At least that's what I crave, whether Temari will want that is another story. What I wanted now… It didn't really matter. I had to pack my things and head back to Suna.
Ino
That day later...
- Do you think Temari is okay? - Sakura asked me
- I have no idea, it's been a month and she still hasn't woken up - I said - I'm starting to get worried, Shikamaru would never forgive himself if something happened and he will waste away crying
- Yeah... I'm sorry about all that - Sakura said - Even more because of that...
- A month has passed and she hasn't woken up, she's already five months pregnant - I completed - Wait!
- What's it? - Sakura asked
- This will only make things worse! I just remembered! Oh shit, shit, shit! - Ino said -Temari has to wake up, deny that she was in a coma and say that they were waiting to tell about the baby because they wanted to be sure of the pregnancy
- She will have to make up some story - Sakura said - If not... The Nara clan will suffer the consequences, the other clans will be angry when they find out about the pregnancy and realize they weren't warned
- You're right, you know how boring these old men are - I replied - They're fucked up! Or maybe not so much, she being the Kazekage... - I shrugged
- Yeah, but nobody deserves a war between Konoha and Suna - Sakura said laughing but that was a possibility
- Sakura! That's a possibility, okay?! - I said - Don't play with these things, if the Nara clan want their heir here and if Temari wants to keep him in Suna, that will be a hell of a problem!
- Okay! I don't say anything else, I just hope she's okay, that's all - she said - It's a boy, you know, him name is Shikadai and Temari chose it
- Ah... Shikamaru didn't tell me that - my eyes watered - This is so beautiful... Shikamaru that lucky motherfucker
- You're talking like Kiba - she laughed
- Now I'm going to have to get serious about making a baby - I smile
- Didn't you do that before? - She retorted
- Yeah... Since then, Kiba and I have been trying often but nothing yet - I replied - I would love to be a mother
- Yeah, that would be cool - she smiled
- But enough of that! We have an event to organize - I said clapping my hands - Two months to go!
- Yeah, I know, I already have a headache just thinking about it - Sakura got up
- Where are you going? - I asked
- Oh, I'm going to take a shower! - She said - I'll sleep here won't I? I need to put on my pajamas
- Okay... - She was kind of weird
Sakura grabbed her bag and left the room. As big as my room was, I preferred it not to have a bathroom. But Dad made a special bathroom for me that only I have the key to. He's at the end of the hall. After Sakura I would also take a shower, I hope she doesn't take too long. I went to the closet to get my sleepwear. Until I hear a noise. I ran out of the closet and stopped in the bedroom.
As soon as I looked back, Kiba was coming back through my porch. I don't know if he knows but there's the front door and it's literally just in, we're going to be married by heaven, my father didn't care what we did. When he finished entering my room and closed the balcony door, he stared at me.
- You know you have the front door, don't you? - I asked
- I liked it when you said that the forbidden tasted better - he replied
- What do you do here? - I asked
- I missed you - he said approaching me - We only saw each other this morning and it was for a short time, I barely managed to kiss you
- Glad you came then, because we need to talk about the wedding - I said - It's good that you came, I bet Sakura won't mind and will even help me with some things
- We need, and let's talk - he said - But first, we need to do this
And with that, he quickly took me in his arms and kissed me with all the passion that was repressed inside him these last few days that we didn't see each other because of this blessed coronation. His lips parted and I gave way, my body melting against his, giving myself to him in a way that reaffirmed everything I already knew. I loved him too much. But the voice of reason came to my head. We can't do that, at least not now. Sakura is here and will be back any moment
- We shouldn't - I choked as we took another breath - Not that I don't want to, you know I do, but it's a bad idea
He kissed me again, before lifting me into his arms and carrying me to the bed.
- This is not a good idea - I reaffirmed but without the strength to let go.
- No - he replied - That's the best idea - and gave his typical sideways smile
His strong hands roamed over my body, teasing and exploring, and when he reached into my panties and ran a finger over the swollen folds, I shivered with excitement, wet and needy for him and what he was about to do. He lifted his hand towards his lips, licked my taste on his finger and looked into my eyes.
- You taste like heaven, Ino. Sweeter than any dream I've ever had - and I melted once again - I missed you, princess
I had never wanted something as much as I wanted it at that moment, I must have been in my fertile period. Great for having babies. And as my last ounce of resistance evaporated into oblivion and reason, we quickly lost the rest of our remaining clothes. Nothing existed but the two of us and our irresistible need to satisfy our desire for each other, for now.
- But this will be quick, Sakura will be back any minute! - I imposed
- You make me get to paradise in less than three minutes that I know - he smiled
I let out a small groan, my breath was labored. With Kiba's mouth on me, every nerve in my body was on fire. As his tongue and fingers alternated between long, slow strokes, waves of arousal built up inside me, bordering on peak as he touched that specific spot with his fingers. When the orgasm came for real, its intensity overwhelmed me. My body filled with pleasure, and I had to moan softly as I was on cloud nine. But it wasn't over. Trembling with desire, my eyes met your intense gaze
- I want you so bad now, I want you inside me - I ordered
I was so wet, so ready, that when he entered me, I almost came again just from the feel of him filling me. For a long moment he didn't move, just stared at me with an unmistakable hunger that erased any lingering doubts about how much he loved me and how much I longed to have that look on me every time we make love. He wanted me as much as I wanted him. But when Kiba started to move, there was nothing romantic about it. He was as domineering as I wanted him to be. It was the only time Kiba managed to completely dominate me: in bed.
With slow, deliberate thrusts, he sent waves of sensation through my body, and I joined his rhythm with my own thrusts. When his impulses quickened, I was already close. My world shrunk to a point and then exploded, it was like watching BIGBANG. My body leaned against his as we came together, moaning low in pleasure as we hoped no one entered the room. With my heart pounding in my ears, I collapsed onto the bed and let out a sigh as my world slowly returned to normal.
- I said it would be quick - he smiled - Was it enough to get you pregnant?
- Funny - I replied but I was hoping so.
Kiba got up and put his pants back on and I lay on the bed with my dress by my side for a little longer. Until we heard a noise and the door slammed open. Frightened I grabbed my blanket and covered myself, Kiba did the same with his white blouse. When I looked at the door it was Sakura. She was shaking with tears in her eyes, her face completely red, holding something in her hand.
- Ino... - she tried to speak between crying
- Holy shit! - was all I managed to say.
Temari
- Hey... Wake up - someone touched my face, it felt like I was dreaming, in the clouds
- Hey mom, wake up - what? Mommy?
I opened my eyes slowly. And I was in a stark white room. Had I survived? Or was this the afterlife? The last thing I remember is the icy river water. That was before I lost consciousness. As I looked around, I felt a weight in my lap that wasn't there. What was that...
- Why don't you speak mom? - that little being with the identical face of Shikamaru asked me, but he didn't speak, it seemed that it was in my mind
- I know how to talk, smart one, I just don't know how it's happening - I replied, this way of communicating was strange, it was sensorial, I could feel everything
- I'm inside you mom - he replied - I had to talk to you somehow
- I'm sure this is a dream and it's not happening - I replied - Did I hit my head that hard? - I wondered
- Don't be so mean, I love being on your belly, it's so warm here and I'm very lazy - he said
- So you look like your father... - I rolled my eyes
- Daddy is waiting for you - he replied - You have to come back soon, he is worried about us
- How do you know?
- Knowing - he smiled.
- You really are your father's son - I grumbled - And you're still his typical face... - I pulled his chubby cheek
- It's not my fault, Mom - he said once more - Don't you love me like that?
- I love you more than myself, Shikadai - I took that little baby that was mine in my lap
- That's what I wanted to hear - He smiled
