Through The Darkness ch. 13


Sasuke's P.O.V.

I woke up earlier than usual, well, for me. I walked out of my room and into the bathroom to stare at myself in the mirror. My belly is now showing but luckily I can hide it under a baggy shirt but I feel so fat and bloated. I don't like being pregnant since I'm starting to have mood swings. One minute I could be in an extremely good mood then in another minute, I could be extremely irritated with everything and everyone.

I have freaked out on Itachi and Kisame for the smallest of things but gotten over it since I'm blaming it on the hormonal imbalance. I am a little scared about giving birth. I'm not sure how the hell that's gonna work out since I'm a guy and don't have a vagina. I heard that a natural birth is painful as hell and a C-section is not as bad but it's used as a last resort.

I don't know who I want in the room when I do finally give birth. So many things are swirling around in my mind and none of them are helping me right now. I sigh and decided to get ready for the day. I'm going to Naruto's first game as the Pirate new wide receiver. He made me promise that I'll come. The dobe says that the baby and I are his good luck charms or something like that.

The thought of the blonde brings a smile to my face. He's becoming my support through all of this and makes feel beautiful even though I feel fat. I'm in a better place now than I have ever been and I thank him for that. I feel like a different person when I'm with him and that everything is gonna be okay. I'm starting to believe that everything is gonna be okay as long as he's by my side.

I got ready for today and hid my growing belly under a baggy t-shirt and walked out the bathroom. I went to kitchen and made myself some toast since that's all I could really keep down in the morning. Kisame walks into the room in nothing but his shark covered underwear. I know that Kisame loves sharks and everything but still. He's obsessed with them and it's getting ridiculous now.

"Really Kisame, really?" I asked shaking my head.

"What? There's nothing wrong with wearing underwear. You want me going commando, don't ya," Kisame said wiggling his eyebrows.

Ew, just ew. That's just nasty and wrong on so many levels and I can't believe that he even went there. Why Itachi is living with this guy is beyond me. I'll never understand and I don't want to know.

"You're disgusting," I said frowning.

"And you love me," Kisame laughed.

"Tsk if you wanna believe that shit," I muttered to myself, rolling my eyes. Itachi walks into the kitchen with a smile on his face. I know that my brother is normally always in a good mood but now he's in an extremely good mood, even for him. Why is he so happy for? He kisses me on the top of my head and I'm really confused. "What's up with you? You're in a really good mood," I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Why does there need to be a reason why I'm in a good mood. Can't I just be in a good mood?" Itachi asked sitting in his chair, picking up the newspaper.

"No and you're avoiding the question. Answer it," I demanded, glaring at him.

"Damn Sasuke-kun, you're tense and suspicious. I'm just in a good mood, that's all," Itachi said smiling at me.

I rolled my eyes. I'm gonna find out what he's hiding one way or another. I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. Behind it is a girl with long bluish black hair and lavender eyes. She looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it. She seems so innocent and she's with a guy who looks very nervous for some reason. Who are these people?

"It's good to see you again Sasuke-kun" The girl said smiling.

How does this girl know my name? Please tell that this girl isn't another one of my groupies. I'm not in a mood to deal with some groupie wanting to have my babies or shit like that.

"Do I know you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"It has been a long item and I doubt that you would remember me. I'm Hinata Uzumaki, Naruto's little sister," she said introducing herself.

Oh right, Naruto does have a little sister but she looks nothing like him… at all. She used to be very quiet, kept to herself and Naruto a lot in high school from what I remember.

"Oh right, it's been awhile. So… what are you doing here? Naruto isn't here," I said.

"I know. He had asked to come pick you up so we can go to the game together," Hinata said smiling.

He had his sister come and get me even though I could've gotten there on my own. I rolled my eyes and told Itachi that I would be back later. I hopped in the back so Hinata was driving with Akira in the passenger seat. "So Sasuke, how have you been?" Hinata asked looking at me through the rear-view mirror.

"I've been okay. A lot has happened over the last few months but nothing that I couldn't handle. Your brother has been good for moral support though," I told her, thinking of the blond.

"Yea, that is my brother. Always wanting to help someone when they need it," Hinata said smiling a little.

She starts talking to Akira and I'm beginning see how close they are. Akira looks at Hinata with so much love and affection in his eyes that it kinda reminds me of how Naruto looks at me sometimes. I have a good feeling about them and I hope that they work out. It wasn't long before we reached the stadium of where the game is taking place. There was a bunch of people there and going into the stadium to see the game.

We got out of the car and into the building. We got seats pretty close to the sidelines and the opposite was already on their side of field but the Pirates hadn't come out yet.I got to meet Naruto's mother Kushina finally and she actually reminds me a lot of Naruto in almost every possible way. I see where the dobe gets all of his energy from. I met Kyuubi, Naruto's older brother and he seems cool too.

Naruto and the team finally come out of the locker room and we all started yelling and cheering. Naruto looks good in his green and blue uniform. He waves at us before the coach called them over. She tells them something before they go onto the field and get into position. The opposing team was just straight up pitiful compared to them that it was ridiculous.

By the time the second quarter ended, the score was Pirates 46 to 0. There was no point in watching this game anymore because everyone knew how this game was gonna end. I'm impressed with Naruto's newly acquired skills though. He's a lot better than when he was playing for the school, not that I would ever admit it to him. If I did, he would probably get a big head and would I never hear the end of it.

As the game went on, Naruto kept on looking at me out the corner of his eyes and smiles a little, I can see it thru his helmet. I could feel my face flush a little. Why does he have this kind of effect on me? Maybe I do feel something for the dobe. I don't know what I feel anymore. I'm so confused…. And a little hormonal.

The game came to a close and the score was Pirates 72 to 14. That's just sad and pathetic in every sense of the words. We waited for Naruto to come out and he did with a smile on his face. He hugs his mother and Hinata first before high-fiving Kyuubi.

"Sasuke-chan, you came," Naruto said happily, walking to me.

"Did I have a choice?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Well no but still. I'm glad that you're here" He said kissing me on the cheek.

A small blush dusted my porcelain cheeks and the sound of a small chorus of 'Awwws' from Hinata and Kushina. Now this is embarrassing. He just had to do that in front of his family of all people but I guess it could be worse. Naruto grabs my hand and lace our fingers together as we walked together. Maybe this won't be too bad.
