Time for the crazy stuff to start happening, and it's just gonna snowball from there. This went through several revisions before I was happy enough to finalize it.
Thank you guys for the fave, follows and reviews!
Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf: Honestly, Deidara's dad is completely justifiable, I didn't write him to hate Dei for no reason, he has legitimate reasons. I'm glad you liked the side story, there was nothing on Naruto wiki that could help me write her character, but since she married Hashirama, I picked her as lady-like with some Uzumaki fun inside her.
VenaHope: I believe the Anastasia movie was made when the theory that she was alive was still prominent, but I think in early 2000s they found her and the heir to the throne in an entirely different gravesite. I don't know why they buried the two youngest elsewhere and I don't think we'll ever know. Still doesn't stop my love for such a beautiful movie.
ElysiumPhoenix: Babies are arriving VERY soon, sooner than you think.
Tawnypelt37: My beta says thanks for the compliment! :D
Pr1nc3ss K3nny: I don't remember that conversation, but I'm certain we brought it up at some point. Also that sounds fun, a different take on the whole "Naruto characters go to our world" cause they're kids and not sure about the world around them. Also… hun, don't hurt yourself plz.
Ringo1327: I did say I would be back in 2-3 weeks, I know a lot of authors say that but then never come back, but I am way too stubborn to stop now. Glad you liked the poem, it was fun to edit.
Queen Gemini2: I know, the idea is so cute!
omnipotent Porunga: Welcome to the story! Chu~ ;3 Gaara and Sasori will show up again in the 5 Kage Summit arc (yes I work that far in advance).
Crazby: I don't mind if you miss reviewing a chapter or not, don't worry. ^^ I don't plan on doing the Utakata arc, never watched it just some bits and pieces and quote from my beta: "If you do that arc, you better find yourself another beta to review it"... yeah neither one of us like the arc. Sorry. Don't worry about Orochimaru… I want Mizuki born. Also the Invasion arc… heheh…
Hamato Leo: Nope, I will be having Hashirama mention being a father but I don't have enough material to go with them. So there will be no side story about them, plus Deidara doesn't care much to ask.
Warning: Violence, deaths, I like to tease you guys, births, friendly reminder that this fic is a yaoi.
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, I'm 39 chapters in and I still have to make a disclaimer.
"I knew you would see reason Sasuke-kun, the world will do anything it can to balance itself back to normal." Kabuto smugly rambled about balance and other nonsense as he lead Sasuke to Orochimaru's chambers. While Sasuke had no idea what the hell Kabuto was talking about, he kept himself passive so Kabuto wouldn't figure out his true motives.
It was easy getting Tsunade's permission to go after Orochimaru, as he wasn't Deidara, who was banned from going after the snake thanks to his brother. It even easier to trick Kabuto into thinking he betrayed the leaf, he just needed to borrow Itachi's slashed headband. With Orochimaru being in such a weakened state, Sasuke showing up and offering himself to the snake was… a little too convenient, but they were short on time.
"Orochimaru-sama, Sasuke-kun is here." Kabuto bowed to the bedridden shinobi before leaving to prepare for the transfer, leaving the duo alone.
Silence loomed over the room as Orochimaru observed the boy in front of him. Something wasn't sitting right with the sannin. Three years of trying to get Sasuke and he just suddenly appeared on a silver platter? This was unusual, "It's good to see you, Sasuke-ku-" He was cut off when a beam of lightning stabbed him in the throat, barely missing his windpipe. Looking in the corner of his eyes, he sees Sasuke smirking smugly at him with sharingan blazing.
"Orochimaru… you are weaker than me, and I am going to kill you so you do not cause any more grief for those important to me." He's been wanting to kill Orochimaru ever since he had tried to let Sakura die… seeing Deidara writhe in pain because of this man… that was the last straw, "You should have known that I would never give you my body, your mistake was to mess with the Uchiha clan."
After the battle (AN: The rest of the fight was like in the anime, I'm sorry I'm lazy)
Sasuke wiped his hands on his pants to get rid of Orochimaru's blood, disgusted at the white snake laying dead before him. Kabuto was petrified on the spot as the Uchiha left the room and pulling out a very familiar notebook, "Now… Suigetsu should be in this hideout." He had stolen Deidara's notebook and used his sharingan to help him translate some of the pages. It was hard due to the blond's penmanship, but he was at least able to note that Karin, this Suigetsu person and one other boy were all in a row right after Sasuke's… many pages.
This guy had to be a person of interest if Deidara had made such a detailed page, even Tenten had a shorter page. Entering the lab, he approached the tube of water, "Suigetsu."
A playful voice rang out in the tube, "Oh? You must be Sasuke. Did you come here to free me?" Of course, the teen was joking. He never expected the one Orochimaru stalked like a creep would even bother freeing him, though it did perk his interest that Sasuke even knew he existed.
"Actually, that is exactly what I was planning." Pulling out his sword, Sasuke slashed the tube open, allowing a very naked Suigetsu to stand up in shock. Okay... He really didn't need to see Suigetsu like this and was suddenly eager to get this guy some clothes.
"Wait… seriously? What's the catch Uchiha?" Suigetsu stared at Sasuke with suspicion, placing his hand on his hip which sadly for the Uchiha, the human eyes naturally lock onto anything that moves.
"My brother-in-law wrote about you in his notebook." Now Suigetsu was dumbfounded at such a… stupid reason, "I will take you to Konoha, do not cause problems for me." Turning at his heel, Sasuke walked off, only to pause when a finger was pressed against his temple, "Space please, you're naked and I'd rather not have to look or feel anything from you."
"Nah ah ah, why should I listen to anything you say, Sasuke?" The teen smirked, thinking he had the upper hand against him. All he needed was a little chakra and there would be a water bullet in Sasuke's head.
"My brother is close friends with one of the last Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and my brother-in-law is the godfather of the other Swordsman's future child. I know you want to collect the swords, so this is your only chance at meeting them without risk of immediate death." Sasuke smirked when the white haired boy gawked at him openly, "Now please put on some clothes." Where did he see those pants again?
"Hang on a minute! I know about Kisame-senpai, but Zabuza?! How does this in-law of yours know him?!"
"He is rather persuasive. Now come on, I would like to be back in Konoha before the end of the week." Not even looking back, Sasuke shoved his hands in his pockets and walks away. Suigetsu remained motionless for a few seconds before running to catch up with him, still naked.
"So… why does me being naked have any issues? You don't like guys, do you- WHAT THE HELL?!" Suigetsu's head repeatedly turned to water as Sasuke whipped out a paintbrush and proceed to beat the devil out of his face, "Why do you have a paintbrush?!"
"I like to paint, be happy it's not a palette knife, Nii-san won't let me take them on missions anymore." Was he… sulking? "And I don't like men, I have a girl in Konoha that I am very much attracted to. I just don't like seeing other men waltzing around for everyone to see." He was a modest Uchiha after all, they never showed skin unless it was a bath. He swears he could hear Deidara snorting into his tea back in Konoha.
Suigetsu was confused, "How can a flimsy knife… nevermind, you smacked my face with a paintbrush." He was almost certain that the guy that freed him was insane. But then again, for all he knew, this might just be the tip of the iceberg.
Also, Sasuke successfully completed his mission in finding Suigetsu clothes, within minutes the teen was under a giant pile of shirts and pants as Sasuke was mercilessly chucking them at him, "Put something on or I'm going to zap you with chidori."
Suigetsu sputtered in frustration, "Do you have a problem with nudity or something?!" His response was a pair of grey pants smacking his face unceremoniously, "Oh hey, these look nice."
Two Days Later
It didn't take long to find the Northern Hideout, all it took was some interrogations from some Oto shinobi and it was a walk in the park... For Sasuke at least.
"Remind me again," Suigetsu takes a long drink from his water bottle, "why we're going after Jugo again? You do know he is a psychopath, right?"
Sasuke holds up Deidara's notebook as he absentmindedly examined his report for Tsunade.
"Of course, a book." Suigetsu throws his arms up in frustration, "I give up trying to find reason within this. Next thing I know, you'll tell me that there is a code behind this 'Deidara' person's logic."
"It's Deidara."
"...Eh?"
"You asked for a code. The code is 'It's Deidara', the Hokages, clan heads and many other officials use it as an excuse for when something odd happens in the village." Poor Suigetsu's brain was nearly fried seeing how serious Sasuke was being, "Come on, we're almost there."
"Gah… are all Konoha shinobi this weird?" Suigetsu rubbed the back of his head in frustration.
Sasuke perked up at the statement, "You met other Konoha shinobi before?" No one has ever told him what happened when he was kidnapped by the Sound Four, so this was possibly his only chance to learn about that event.
The other teen sighed, "Yeah… this weird kid with a stupid haircut, thick eyebrows and always screaming about youth. He got drunk and completely kicked my ass-"
"Wait, the little one or the big one?"
Time paused for a moment, "...THERE'S TWO OF THEM?!"
"Hn."
"... Is everyone in that village insane?"
Sasuke pondered this, which didn't help Suigetsu's fears in the slightest, "Depends… Come on, let's go." He then turned and headed for the hideout, leaving his "friend" in a state of not being sure if he should run away or piss himself… he chose to continue following the Uchiha.
Reaching the hideout, there were dead bodies everywhere and the sound of maniac laughter erupted within the place. Suigetsu stuck close to Sasuke as he passively stepped over, and sometimes on top of, bodies to see a boy with orange hair and a deformed appearance mercilessly kill another inmate.
Jugo paused seeing the newcomers before laughing, "More people to kill!" He charged towards the pair, ready to kill when he saw the dark haired one's eyes turn blood red, and suddenly… his urge to kill was gone. He slowly reverted back to normal, "Ah…. AHHHH!" In panic, he locked himself back inside his cell, guilt ate him alive knowing he had killed the majority of his inmates.
"Jugo, my name is Uchiha Sasuke, I am here to release you from your prison and take you with me to Konoha. Orochimaru is dead and you have no reason to be here anymore." Sasuke hated how stiff he sounded, but this wasn't like talking to Naruto or his brother, this was a teen who was obviously scared out of his mind.
"No! Just leave this door locked and let me die alone! I… I don't want to kill anymore! I don't want to be a monster! This cage is the one thing between me and taking lives!" He curled up in himself, hoping that Sasuke would leave him to rot in this prison.
But Sasuke didn't leave, "You turned to normal thanks to my sharingan… let me be your cage Jugo, and fight with me. I can help you control your power and do more good than harm, I will stop you from killing." Sasuke stared Jugo down intensely, hoping that his little speech will change the ginger's mind. Thankfully, it seemed to have worked as Jugo slowly left the cage and stared at him in awe, "Then it's decided. Come on, let's head to Konoha, I need to report to Tsunade and I miss painting."
Suigetsu sweatdropped for what felt like the 15th time that day, "Do all Uchihas have such terrible choice in priorities?"
Sasuke shrugged, "Not sure, I was raised by an artistic blond whose idea of art was blowing up stuff, who then married my brother and raised my best friend who is a hyperactive dobe that can barely remember things from books."
Make that the 16th time sweat has formed on Suigetsu's forehead.
Meanwhile with Deidara
Deidara's POV
Chop… chop… chop. The rhythm of the knife cutting vegetables is almost calming for me as Anko had a false alarm the other day. Since Itachi is on a mission, I'm at her place and she had some contractions. The only reason why I could tell she was fine was purely because of my sensing abilities and the fact her water hasn't broken yet.
Tossing some vegetables into the pot after it slowly began to boil, Anko called out to me from the bathroom. She was taking a bath before dinner after getting sick on herself from sitting up wrong.
"Hey Dei-chan? Is it normal to pee without needing to pee?"
My chopping slowed to a stop as I raised my head towards the hallway, the cogs in my brain halt. That… kinda sounded normal? If only a little, pregnant women have almost no bladder control. Turning off the stove, I call out to her, "What color is it?"
"It's clear and getting everywhere. Looks like water." Good thing I turned off the stove.
I barge into the bathroom and help Anko into a bathrobe so that way she was at least modest, "Your water broke, un." Mindful of her stomach I help her outside and onto a bird, thankfully in time as she began to have contractions.
"Shit this hurts!" Anko grabs my hand, painfully cutting off all blood flow as I rush us to the hospital. I could see the ANBU I had hired to watch Anko rush to the Hokage tower to alert Tsunade, and two heads of pink and red where on my tail.
"I know Anko, Tsunade will be helping you with the birth, so will Sakura and Karin." Even though I'm calm on the outside, I'm panicking on the inside. My best friend is having TWINS and they are over a month early! It's not even September yet! What's worse is that Itachi isn't here- oh yeah, my husband.
The moment I landed in front of the hospital, Anko was rushed to the delivery wing. Sakura and Karin rushed in, already tying their hair back and barking orders at everyone.
I create a clone, glaring at them intently, "Tell Itachi to get his ass back to Konoha unless he wants to miss the birth of his kids, un!" Mimicking the same expression as me, the clone takes my bird and flies off to Itachi.
Finding Anko's room was easy, I just had to follow the screams. The door was closed and even though I should technically be allowed in there, because it's twins and they are preemies, for Anko's safety I'm to be kept out until it's all over. I can hear Tsunade, Sakura and Karin carefully coach Anko though the birth.
"You're doing well, remember to breath..."
"This fucking hurts you know this?!"
"Sakura, what is the state of the babies?"
"The first one is just going through now, Tsunade-sama. Anko, you need to push."
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! IT'S JUST NOW STAR- FUCK! I HATE YOU ALL!"
I think I'm going to vomit then faint. I slowly found myself trying to sink into the wall as guilt ate away at my subconscious. Sure, Anko chose to carry them, but I couldn't help but feel awful that she's in so much pain.
For three hours it was nothing but Anko making sounds of agony and the girls occasionally leaving the room to get something for Tsunade. I caught a quick glimpse of the room and it was rather organized… if you ignored the screaming woman on the bed.
"Dei?" Turning my head, Itachi was a few feet away, completely out of breath and pale, "Have either of them been… I mean… is everything…?"
"She's still pushing on the firstborn, I think it's crowning soon, un." An agonizingly loud cry escaped from Anko in the room following by the sound of a baby wailing its lungs out erupts our ears, "Nevermind, one's born now…"
Karin's pale face pokes out of the room and looks at us smiling, "It's a-"
"Karin! Tsunade-sama needs help with the other baby!" The door was then slammed shut in our faces.
Thank Kami Itachi is right there next to me, I nearly lost my legs and is now clinging to him like a lifeline, "How are you so calm, Itachi?"
I feel his face nuzzle into my hair with a smirk, "I was there when Sasuke was born… while this is different, these are our children… I know that Anko has some of the best medical kunoichi in the village with her, she's fine… the twins are fine."
"They're early though!" It felt like the room was shrinking around me as I began to hyperventilate, "What if they don't survive?! What if something happens to one of them?! What if-"
Itachi quickly pulls me into a tight hug, "Shhhh… breath my love… they will be okay… trust me." For the next 15 minutes, we stayed like this, Itachi slowly rocking me as I focused solely on my breathing.
Until another cry was heard.
This one was a different pitch, and it sounded healthy like the previous cry. Looking towards the door, this time it was Tsunade holding it open for us with a tired smile on her face, "They're waiting for you…"
I briskly walk past Tsunade and into the room with Itachi on my heel, I examine the room. Anko was nursing a bundle in a soft yellow blanket, sweat covered and looks like she's ready to pass out at any moment. Karin was cleaning herself at the sink while Sakura was measuring and cleaning something squirming in front of her.
Anko looks at us limply, giving a tired version of her cheeky grin, "The squishy thing in my arms is a boy… I dunno what the other one is… you wanna hold him?" As if knowing the thing he was suckling on was not his mother, the baby spits out her teat and proceeds to scream.
Acting on pure instinct, I lift the infant out of Anko's arms as she gave him a wtf face, "Shhh… it's okay… I'm here…" I chose to not move, unaware if it would jostle him or not. But it gave Itachi and I the ability to look at our son.
Sometimes, I forget that I'm in an anime. Certain things will bring me back to reality, like the dramatic facial expressions everyone makes, the physics are not quite right… looking at this baby, I got another reality check. He was small, as expected, but he had a full head of crow black hair that fluffed up. Fat red cheeks were wet with tears as he refused to end his lung exercise, his eyes would occasionally crack open to reveal equally dark eyes.
He definitely looked like his father, and he definitely did not want anything to do with me right now.
"Here… let me." Itachi gently takes the baby from my arms, and nuzzles the boy with his nose. As if he pressed a button, the screamingly instantly halted and the exhausted baby stared up at Itachi intensly.
I feel my eye twitch while a snickering Sakura was giving the other baby to Anko to feed. While children and toddlers have an oddly high affinity with me, babies couldn't give a shit if I existed. They never hate me, but I'm usually not their first pick on who they want attention from. It's a kick in the face when my own son pulls a Sasuke and only wants Itachi.
Anko weakly chuckles at my struggles, "Come on Dei-chan, he's most likely spooked. Why don't you hold your daughter instead?" That caught my attention, so a boy and a girl.
Once Anko was certain this baby had enough milk, I was handed a quiet bundle swaddled in a purple blanket. Moving the blanket aside, I was pleased to see grey-blue eyes staring at me droopily. Babies' eye colors usually have a grey tint to them at first, but I can tell she'll inherit my colors. Straight black hair sat messily on her head, and her facial features mirrored her brother's, nose and everything.
I gave Itachi a smile, our twins were beautiful and seemed healthy. Squishy and a little alien looking, but overall beautiful.
Tsunade walked to us with charts, "They're both 45cm and 2.3kg, seems like Anko's diet allowed them to grow at the same rate with only slight differences. They'll need to be incubated for at least a week to make sure everything is okay. I can only give you two enough time to name them, as they'll lose body temperature fast." Itachi and I must have made faces, as she instantly looked guilty about separating the twins from us.
I didn't want to leave them here, neither of us do, but if we didn't it would put the twins at risk. They're preemies, organs are undeveloped and they need to be attended to by medical shinobi to ensure everything was fine.
With reluctance, I look to Itachi so he could do the naming first. I had agreed to let him name either the firstborn if same gender or the son had a scenario like this occurred.
Itachi blinks a few times before giving his undivided attention to the baby nestled in his arms. There was only one name that he wanted to use, and it was one that I not only didn't mind, but I expected him to chose it, "Shisui… Uchiha Shisui." Itachi was Shisui's legacy, and in turn Itachi would make sure his best friend's memory would never die.
The newly dubbed Shisui seemed pleased with the name. He let out a quiet noise before falling asleep, as if he was waiting to be named before letting the exhaustion of just being born took over him. Seems like there is a strong will inside our son.
I was so entranced by the scene that I didn't realize everyone was staring at me, "What?"
Karin snickers behind her hand, "Deidara-san, the baby?"
I feel my eye widen as I looked down at the little girl in my arms, staring at me with expectancy and minor offence, "Ah… Sorry sweetheart!" I adjust her in my arms so she could see me better, babies' eyesight was extremely poor, so to her I must look like a bright yellow blob, "You won't have a name that has some kind of legacy behind it… that's not my style, un. Welcome to the world Minami… Uchiha Minami." Placing a kiss on Minami's forehead, she perked up at the name, making lots of noise and seemed more awake than before.
Sakura tilts her head at the unusual choice of name, "Why that name in particular Deidara-sensei?" I honestly didn't blame her for not understanding.
In Japanese culture, many children are named with some kind of symbolism behind it. A child named Hana may be because they were born when flowers bloom, or Ame when it rained. The kanjis for Minami traditionally means either "south" or "beautiful waves/ocean" and Konoha was nowhere near the waters nor the south in the slightest.
I give Sakura a cheeky grin, "No reason, I just like the name, un." Sakura and Karin gave me deadpan expressions as I picked out the kanji for "beautiful" and "ocean" respectively. Back in my past life, parents in Japan were getting really creative with their children's names. I swear there were at least 10 different ways to spell Sora, much to the dismay of teachers. I wanted to at least make my kid's name readable.
Sakura and Karin sighed, I could tell they were happy I at least picked a nice sounding name. I liked the theme with the twins being connected to waters. Itachi was going with his best friend's spelling, so our son Shisui name meant "death water". In a way we can always argue with stuck up parents that as shinobi, we wanted our children to be as graceful and deadly as the waters.
Anko finally got the chance to drink some water and got our attention with a clearing of her throat, "So… when is round 2?" I had to remind myself I was holding a baby to not shoot my arms in the air.
"Anko, you just gave birth and two kids is enough for us, un." I kiss Minami and Shisui on their heads before we passed the twins to Sakura and Karin. The two leave to put the twins in incubators where they will be monitored until it's time to bring them home.
Anko pushes herself up slightly, much to the annoyance of Tsunade, "Aw come on! That can't be all of the kids you two would want." She pouted at us, as if expected that to work. Sorry honey, you're 19 years too late on that ever working on me thanks to my past life.
"Anko, two is enough for us. I'd rather have these two to give my full love to than have to spread it among other children. Maybe when they're older, Itachi and I will have another child, un." There is also the unspoken fear of what would happen if any of them awaken their mangekyou, I don't want any of them fighting for each other's eyes just to prevent blindness. Neither of us do.
Seeing that she would be unable to argue, Anko sighed in defeat and layed in her bed, "Alright, let me know when you do want more kids though." Her eyes began to droop as exhaustion slowly took over her. I have no idea why she wants more kids to be born, she must like the attention I gave her the past 7 months.
I walk over and kiss her sweaty forehead, "Rest well Anko… thank you… for everything." Itachi and I quietly leave the room so my friend could get her sleep.
Once the door closed, I spin around to hug Itachi, "I love you… we're parents now." I can't believe I'm able to say that now. We're parents. I'm a mother… well, technically a father, either works.
Itachi gently returned the hug, "I love you as well… more than you can ever imagine. Do you think we're ready to be parents?" This of course, caused me to chuckle at such a stupid question, "Right, we wouldn't have kids if there was doubt within us on our parenting skills."
I roll my eye in amusement, "Though Anko would argue against that heavily. Why don't we find our brothers so they can meet the twins, un?"
It took us a good hour to locate Kimimaro and Naruto, Sasuke, for some reason, was not in the village at the moment so he'll have to meet the twins later. Taking my brothers to where the twins were incubated, the two instantly flocked to the machines and stared down at the sleeping pair before them.
Kimimaro, with hesitation, slipped his hands in Minami's incubator to brush a finger against her cheek. Instantly, the little girl gripped his finger with as much strength as a newborn could muster, which wasn't much. I could tell by the glow on Kimi's face that he absolutely adored his new niece, "They're perfect Nii-sama…"
"They look like teme and Itachi though." Naruto was mildly disturbed at how Shisui only stared at him, not making any movements besides breathing, "This one is REALLY like Itachi too." That earned him a pleased gurgle from the baby. Minami in the nearby incubator blinked hearing the odd noise her brother made before passing out again. I forgot all newborns do is sleep, eat, shit and cry.
I shrug while sticking my hand in Shisui's incubator, gently petting his fuzzy hair, "They're newborn, so of course they'll act weird. For the most part, they won't have much of a personality until they are a couple of months old- Shisui, do not look at me like that, it's cute and you know it's true." For an infant, this one seemed to have been born with the infamous Uchiha stare even though he should have zero range of control of himself at this stage. But he then promptly passed out again, so it must have been a fluke.
Naruto gave the boy an odd look before smiling, "Congrats though… Our family keeps getting bigger, dattebayo." I pull him into a hug, then yank Kimimaro into a hug as well, "We'll do everything we can to help you and Itachi raise them right. Like how you raised us."
"Otouto's right, we'll be there for the both of you." I had to smile at how determined these boys are at their new roles as uncles, if only Sasuke could meet the twins now.
The nurses had to kick us out to do their check-up on the twins. So while my brothers went to tell… literally everyone, Itachi and I went home to ease our minds. The babies were safe, and as long as I can sense everything going on in this village, Obito can't go near them. Unlike Kushina, we didn't hide Anko's pregnancy.
Despite being a good cook, I couldn't taste my food, it's like my taste buds decided to take a holiday. Itachi seemed to have the same thought, as everytime he took a bite, he could go crosseyed and glare at his chopsticks. Needless to say my scope made a few clicking noise during the meal, yes I'm still wearing that thing.
"Sorry that dinner sucked, un." I still don't understand why it was so bland. I know I added extra spices this time around. I take off my scope and set it on it's usual shelf so I could start cleaning, the last time I wore that thing while doing dishes I spent a week getting soap marks off the lense.
Behind me, I hear Itachi chuckle before feeling his arms wrap around my waist and is chin resting on my shoulder, "Don't worry about it. It's from the stress of today, our minds refuses to focus on taste…" That make sense, we need a distraction- why is Itachi kissing my neck?
Letting out a chuckle, I tilt my head, "Heh... no fair Itachi, trying to get the upper hand for once, un?" We haven't had any decent… alone time, in the past few months. Usually it was because our house always had someone barging in, or my mind was focused on things besides our love life. We're always too tired to do anything besides cuddle up and talk.
Turning around, I feel my legs become jelly-like when I stare into red pools. I can never get enough of those eyes. To many, the sharingan were a symbol of fear, that seeing them means their immediate death. But not for me. The sharingan meant that I was in safe hands, with the exception of Obito of course.
Itachi's hand ghost across my left cheek, moving my bangs behind my ear and stared at my closed eye. He was asking for my consent. Despite being married for this long, we always make sure to use our signs for consent in order to understand each other. We never express it verbally, as that can be a danger if someone tried to impersonate the other. For Itachi, his sharingan meant his consent as it means he is at his most alert.
For me, it was my left eye.
The one thing that can counter his genjutsu, opening my left eye means that I have full trust in him and that everything I will see is real. The lighting will disorientate me at some point, but we usually keep our room pitch black for this reason.
The moment I opened my eye, our lips joined together like they have so many times before. Always light and gentle, no need to go all out before we even reach our bed. I was always the one to make the first move, the one that guides, that was our rule. Itachi was the one who controlled the bed, but if I wanted it to stop, we stopped. But I missed Itachi, I didn't want us to stop, so I allowed my eyes to close and melt into the kiss as instincts took over our actions.
Itachi's hands found their resting spot on my hips, keeping me steady and in one place while he slowly grew temporary dominance in the kiss. That's fine, I'll make him squirm in due time.
Suddenly annoyed by his hair tie, I snake my hand into his locks, letting my hands weave through it until I found my target. My palm mouth teasingly bit onto the string and slowly pulled it out. Through these movements, not once did I interrupt our kiss or harmed his hair. I opened my eyes to smirk at Itachi's eye roll, use to my constant demands for his hair to be down.
My other hand trailed to his shirt, tugging it slightly as I blew hot air into his ear, "The counter hurts my back, let's move..." I felt extreme pleasure feeling him shudder, knowing I'm the only one that's able to make him this vulnerable. Of course, good things never last.
"Deidara, I have some people I wanted you to mee-...t?" I let out a grunt of annoyance and bobbed my head to the side like miffed owl. My right eye saw Sasuke, standing in the doorway absolutely pale as he realized what he was walking into. My left eye was focused on the obnoxiously saturated colors that were Suigetsu and Jugo.
"Uhhh… Hey ...Sasuke? I think we interrupted something." No shit waterboy, at least Jugo had the decency to have his back facing us.
Slamming my left eye shut, Itachi quickly got off me so I could unleash my wrath. I just wanted one night with my husband, ONE, "Why don't you meet your niece and nephew, Duck-kun? They were just born today you know, and I'm certain they will LOVE to meet your friends, un." My voice became more high pitched with each sentence.
Sasuke audibly gulped, "Uh… O-okay. I… I know I missed their birth… but I..." I see sweat roll down his brow as he was mentally fixing himself. Licking his lips as his soul must have evaporated all the liquid in his throat, "I killed Orochimaru."
Oh, that's why he was gone and my curse mark wasn't hurting anymore? Huh… interesting, "Good for you Duck-kun, you killed a sannin at his weakest." I'll praise him later, I'm mad right now, "Now go meet your niece and nephew. I hope you're prepared to run tomorrow, I have some training ideas you could do, un."
At the promise of "training" Sasuke wilted, grabbed the boys, and dragged them away to not press anymore of my buttons. He may be an all-powerful shinobi and Uchiha, but I raised him to be obedient if my temper asked for it. And right now, it's demanding it.
Quietly fuming, I allow Itachi's hand to lead me to our room, where the lights were soon turned off. I was guided to our bed, and I open my left eye feeling weight crawl on top of me. The only light in the room was Itachi's glowing red eyes, but that was all I needed to see.
"Do not be angry at Sasuke, he didn't know… let us continue. Is that alright… Deidara?"
He only says my full name under circumstances like this, when we were being intimate, or if something was wrong. It was his little pleasure that I didn't understand, but I didn't mind either.
I reach up, blindly finding his hair and gently twirling some around my finger before cupping his cheek, and leading him to a kiss. This was our little ritual, our little game, get lost in the dark of the night and find each other again in the light of day.
"Yes."
Orochimaru had his first death and the twins were born! I was originally just going to have Minami, but I was convinced that having twins would be fun. So I made it a boy and a girl as those kinds of twins can be a blast to write. Also… aren't I a tease? I wanted to give Deidara and Itachi some intimate time together and I felt that it would be fun to hint a lemon. :P
Some of you may be sitting there, scratching your heads wondering why I named the daughter Minami and not an English name or go all Harry Potter on it and name them after a character that dies. The reason is simple: It's not my style. I like the name Minami, I like how it sounds and what it means if you pick the right kanjis. That is a name that I could legit picture myself naming my daughter if I have one. I could, however, picture Itachi naming their son after his best friend, so I stuck with his character and had that happen.
Fair warning (and I will remind you all again next chapter), it's gonna be an emotional rollercoaster the next few chapters. So buckle in and prepare yourself for the emotions.
As always, reviews are loved and I will see you all next week!
Bye!
