AN: '' means short time skip

'' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' ''… means flashback. Got it?

"Hi, Sasuke."

The world had stopped and everything vanished, all that existed was this being pinned beneath him.

Was this real? Could this really be happening? Was he actually here? Another Dream? A cruel genjustu?

His eyes just stayed connected with the blue pools below, the kunai going slack in his hands, falling away. Slowly, as if the dream would suddenly shatter, he brought a single hand up to touch the warm cheek, thumb tracing along a single whisker.

The golden face leaned into the touch, blue eyes never leaving his onyx. Love poured from them, drowning the raven in all the need and adoration he had been deprived from over these six long years.

Naruto… it was Naruto…

Tears sprung in his eyes as he collapsed onto the other man, face buried in the golden strands and tan skin of his lover. Arms came up from the sides holding him desperately close. A pair of soft lips touching his hair.

Naruto was back… he was back…

Sasuke lifted his head up to meet the other's pressing his lips hard against the blond's, his tongue begging for entrance, Naruto gladly complied. Tears continued to leak from his eyes as his hands wound their way through the thick blond hair.

Nothing had changed about the younger man. He looked the same, smiled the same, felt the same, smelled the same, tasted the same; so much better than his dreams.

Hands found the hem of his shirt, lifting it slightly to feel the warmth underneath. He broke the kiss, staring back down to those blue moonlit eyes.

"Naruto…" came the raven's broken whispered voice, "Will you leave… again?"

The other brought up a hand, gently brushing away one of the tears threatening to fall from the onyx eyes. He smiled, despite the raven's attempts; he had heard the 'me'.

"No… never again."

Sasuke let out a soft sob, before leaning down to kiss the blond again.

Naruto… was back…

''

Sasuke woke to a yell outside his door the next morning. Nuzzling into the warm chest of his lover, he refused to let sleep fully leave him… this dream was too real.

But, that wouldn't happen, because the yell came again, this time accompanied by a loud double fisted bang on his door.

"PAPA!!"

Grumbling, Sasuke climbed out of bed, pulled his robe on to cover his nakedness, and padded over to the door, yanking it open. A pair of bright blue eyes stared up at him.

Well that explains the dream…

"Sorry Seiichi, you got the wrong room."

"Mmm… Seiichi…?"

Sasuke stood rigid at the voice from behind, eyes wide, mouth open. The five year old gave a high pitched cheer of "Papa!" before squeezing past him and into his room. He heard the tiny boy climb onto his bed, a low groan coming from the voice that had him frozen in his place.

"Papa! Where'd you go last night?"

"I came here, silly."

"Oh yeah… well how come you didn't come back?"

"I'm sorry 'Chi, I fell asleep."

There was silence for a moment; Sasuke just continued staring out the door, scared to turn around.

"Sasuke… Come here. There's someone I want you to meet."

He slowly turned his head around, still unable to understand what was happening. There, sitting on his bed, red sheets wrapped around his waist, was Naruto. The blond-haired, blue-eyed, whiskered-cheeked, toothy-grinning dobe.

"Naruto…"

It wasn't a dream.

But just as quickly… everything came crashing down. Looking at the other, holding a young boy who looked just like him, and is calling him Papa…

For the second time in his life, the blond made his heart shatter.

He stormed from the room, not even bothering to close the door behind him. He was blind to the people staring at him, wearing nothing but a robe. He was deaf to the shouts from the blond trailing behind him. It wasn't till he felt a hand land on his shoulder did he turn around.

"Sasuke… please let me explain. This isn't what it looks like."

The raven just seethed where he stood. He didn't want to hear it; he didn't want to hear his excuses. There's nothing that will make him leaving him to have a child ok.

"What am I suppose to think…? You disappear and suddenly you have a son!?" He jerked his shoulder out of the other's grip.

"No, it's not like that—"

"NARUTO!?"

Both boys turned around to see Sakura staring down the hall, hands covering her mouth and eyes wide, before she fell backwards, passed out. Sasuke took this distraction as an advantage, and walked away from his heart ache. Sakura would be fine…

"Sasuke!"

Ignoring him, the raven continued to fume down the hallway. He didn't know where he was going, he just couldn't be here.

"Sasuke wait!"

He persisted.

"God damn it, Teme! Hold on!"

Nothing would stop his march.

"He's yours!!"

Except maybe that…

"What…?"

"He's your son."

Sasuke turned around, sharingan flaring as his rage surged. Now the dobe was lying to him, "What bull shit is that? You know that I've never been with a woman."

"I know." The reply was brief and steady, as if it was unquestionable. The blond stopped just before him, unfazed by the rage he could clearly feel radiating off the darker man.

"Then how is he my son?" Sasuke's fists tightened, knuckles turning white.

"Because I bore him."

Sasuke froze…

''

They all sat around the conference table: Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara. Naruto insisted that he wait, so he didn't have to retell the entire story again to Sakura once she woke up. Seiichi and Toshi also sat about the table, crayons and scribbled on papers askew out before them.

Naruto began, "From the very beginning of being with Sasuke, I had always felt guilty, because I knew that Sasuke wanted children, to revive his clan, but I could never do that for him. It wasn't until Akio was born that it really started to dig at me. I watched Sasuke as he watched the baby. It was horrible, there was such a far off look in his eyes, almost depressed. It hurt to know I was making Sasuke give up something like that…"

"Dobe… I told you it didn't matter—"

"But it did. It mattered that I was taking away your one chance to have a family again. You already had your family torn away from you once; I didn't want to be the one to do that to you again."

Sasuke fell silent.

Naruto continued, "It was Kyuubi that told me about the forgotten room with the forbidden scrolls. He said that down there I would find a ninjustu to give Sasuke a family—"

"Wait..." Sakura interrupted, "Kyuubi told you?"

The blond nodded.

"Do you often talk to the demon?"

He shrugged, "Not a lot. Usually only when I'm really upset or scared, I find my way to his cell, and he coaches me through things."

"You were upset?" Sasuke asked. As upset as he still was at the blond, he hated hearing that the other wasn't happy during the times they were together… but it seems that Naruto felt the same way.

"I hated seeing you give up something like that."

"But what about you? You gave up everything when you stole that scroll and fled."

Naruto smiled half-heartedly at the raven, "I know I can't become Hokage anymore, but I gained a son, and that's worth the loss," He adjusted his position in his chair slightly, before continuing his story, "I knew the consequences of stealing that scroll, and it took me months to decide, but during the Summer Solstice Festival, seeing you watch all the families like you were… I made my decision.

"Kyuubi told me how to do it. He said what I needed, which is why I came to you after I stole it…"

Sasuke thought for a moment what Naruto had taken from him before he left, then he remembered, and barely managed to suppress the blush.

"It was a ninjustu that allows males to get pregnant; forbidden because it meant death for the… mother of the child. It wasn't meant for human's to use it, it was a form of Chakra that only demon's could use. But, because of Kyuubi, I was able to safely have Seiichi."

"Naruto…" Sakura interrupted, "this isn't something dangerous like we were all fearing you ran off with. This is a miracle; for a man to bare a child. I'm sure Tsunade-sama—"

"Whatever the reasons are… I'm still a missing ninja that stole a forbidden scroll. Just because of my… situation doesn't make that scroll any less dangerous for the rest of the population."

"But… how could such a miraculous thing be so wrong?"

Naruto didn't answer, unable to explain such a thing, so Kankuro answered for him, "A single use of that spell meant the death of the mother… with very few exceptions. Imagine if it got into the wrong hands? An army could capture and enemy base, force them to bare their children, and destroy them. They'd be able to raise the next generation of warriors and kill their enemies in one blow, while having some good times their selves." Sakura looked at the ponchoed man, appalled, "Barbaric… isn't it."

The pink haired ninja was silenced, unable to respond to that. Naruto looked over to Sasuke, who hadn't said a word since he explained. The raven seemed out of it, the onyx eyes watching the small blue-eyed boy tentivly as he began scribbling on the small red-head's picture, Toshi bopping on the head lightly in annoyance.

"Sasuke…?"

The raven turned to his names, and Naruto could see the raw emotion that Sasuke was unable to hide.

"How come you never told me I had a son?"

Naruto swallowed the knot in his throat, the sadness and betrayal that laced Sasuke's words digging at him.

"I was going to, I swear I was, but there was no way for me to contact you. The ANBU are still looking for me, and therefore they're watching you. This was the first time you've ever been out of their reach."

"So why did you come here? There are a lot of times that Konoha ANBU are here, you could have been spotted." Sakura asked, finally out of her stupor.

"Because we're safe here."

"Safe? How are you safe in a place where Konoha ANBU regularly are? Why not disappear far north?" The pink ninja asked, ignoring the Suna resident's glares.

"It's not the ANBU I'm worried about. It's everyone else. I wasn't exactly welcomed with opened arms in Konoha, and I only had a seal. I didn't know how the public would take to the son of a demon."

"You're not a demon, Naruto."

The blond bit his lip, giving Sakura a look, before turning to his son. "'Chi? Come here."
The 5 year old looked up from his drawing of a red blur standing next to a black blur and did as he was told. He jumped from his chair and ran to his 'mother's' chair, climbing into his lap.

"What? Papa?"

Naruto lifted his hand up to scratch the boys head, just behind the left ear of his poncho hood.

"Why don't we let Sakura-chan and Sasuke-kun see your ears, ne?"

The small boy turned to look at the two, first at the dark man who just looked back at the boy in a stunned awe, and then to the pink haired shinobi, who gave the boy a small smile.

"Hai, Papa."

Pulling off his hood, a large mop of black strands covered his head. But that wasn't what made the pair of onyx and cerulean eyes widen, because, poking out from that mess of midnight, were two black fox ears, each with snow covered tips.

"Because it was Kyuubi's Chakra supporting him, he got traits from a third parent." Naruto replied, stroking his son's ears lightly, "He's got a tail too, but it's still small."

Silence once again came over the room. The four knowing shinobi's watching the reactions of the two that just learned. They both looked like they were caught doing something bad; this was something neither one of them had ever expected. No one moved for a minute, until a high-pitched shriek brought everyone out of their thoughts.

"Kawaii!! That's adorable!! Seiichi-kun! Come see Sakura-chan!" She squeaked, holding out her arms. The small black haired boy joyfully ran over to the women, who started nuzzling his ears as soon as he perched himself in her lap.

Naruto turned to the silent raven, whose eyes were still wide and mouth agape as he watched the rosette play with the fox ears.

"There's another reason why I came here." Naruto said, trying to bring Sasuke back to reality, or rather… whatever messed up form of reality they were all caught in. The raven turned slowly to the blond as Naruto turned his gaze to smirk at the silent red-head across the table. "I knew of someone else who would have found the scroll useful."

Gaara stayed silent, glaring at the whiskered man. Temari and Kankuro snickered, and the two Konoha shinobi shifted their gazes from the Kazekage, to the 4 year old scribbling a rainbow over Seiichi's black and red blurs. Slowly, Sakura reached over to ruffle through the boy's fluffy red hair, until she found a small dark red raccoon ear.

"Oh my god!" Sakura squeaked, grabbing Toshi and pulling him into her lap beside Seiichi, digging through his hair to find his other ear, "Who's his father?"

Gaara remained silent, a slight blush appearing on him cheeks.

Naruto answered for him, a devilish smirk on his face, "Fuzzy-eyebrows."

'' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' ''

Sasuke had no troubles with Naruto coming out to him as being gay. Even when he finally admitted he had a crush on someone, he was fine with it. But now… watching the two of them trying to suck off each other's faces was not what how he expected to be celebrating his 18th birthday.

"Isn't it cute?" Sakura said from his side, watching the two boys over in the corner enjoying themselves.

"No, not really." Came his venomous reply, taking another sip from his Sake.

The pink haired ninja turned to her teammate, a frown grimacing her pretty face, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just don't want to watch those two slobbering all over each other," he mumbled, turning away and walked out of the room. They had started necking, and he really didn't want to witness that.

Sakura watched the raven leave the room, then glanced over to the two boys completely lost in each other, and back to the now empty door way. Then it clicked. Chasing after the Uchiha, she caught him by the fridge reaching for another drink.

"You're jealous."

Sasuke nearly dropped his bottle at the comment, but recovered quickly, hoping that Sakura didn't notice his moment of weakness.

"You're insane."

"No! Really! You're jealous cause Naruto's kissing Kiba, and you're not."

"I'd rather not kiss Kiba, thanks."

Sakura huffed, "That's not what I meant."

"Then be more specific."

Sakura inched closer, fingers twiddling idly in front of her, "What I'm saying is… if you wanted to kiss…" Sasuke took a hard long sip of his Sake, "…some one. I'll kiss you."

Sasuke scoffed, turning from his teammate and walking away. Girls… are that the only thing they think about!? Romance… pink hearts… loving kisses… getting swept off their feet… riding horse back into the sunset…

The raven glanced back into the other room to the two sitting in the corner. They had stopped their saliva swapping and were now just whispering back to each other, a slight blush on the blond's face as he laughed lightly at whatever it was that the dog boy had just murmured into his ear.

True love… was for girls…
