I don't own naruto.


Sasuke woke up as soon as the sun shone on his face, onto his eyes and he sat up to close the curtains, looking at his lover before walking into the bathroom for a few ten minutes.

Just as he wiped his face with a towel, Ino walked into the room. Her eyelids still drooped and she wore the t-shirt he had worn last night. She smoothed out the t-shirt and then sat down on the marble corner of the bathroom, near the sink.

Sasuke walked toward her, cupping her chin as she leaned onto the tiles of the bathroom, tired. "Last night was too early …your body is still too weak from Itachi's pregnancy." he leaned closer to kiss her lips lightly.

Ino gripped the t-shirt Sasuke wore around him and smiled. "No, last night was …wonderful, like always. It doesn't matter if I was weak…" she cuddled into him and he kissed her head.

"Go clean up. I'll bring some cloths in for you," he said, slipping his hand underneath the t-shirt she wore for a second before he left the room, and she slipped into the bathtub, pulling the curtains after her.

The moment Sasuke was done, he folded one of his t-shirts down, putting Ino's bra and panties over it and then he slid into the bathroom, watching her shadow. Ino grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself, stepping out of the bathroom to see a small smile on Sasuke's face.

He moved his hand forward and Ino blow-dried her hair quickly before turning away from him, putting her bra and panties on before he slipped the t-shirt over her head. Ino walked toward her vanity to fix her hair into high pigtails before she walked down the stairs, cuddling with Sasuke on the couch.

The door bell rang suddenly and Sasuke walked up to the door, Ino stood behind him as he did, watching what was happening.

The sound of a baby rattle made Ino turn around and Sasuke grabbed her wrist, saying, "I'll get Itachi." and then he left. Shikamaru looked at Ino, saying, "Well you look lovely today." his tone was lazy and he rolled his eyes, making Temari snap her fingers at him.

"Here," Sasuke said, and then held Itachi out, slowly placing the baby into Ino's arms. "He's hungry, go feed him somewhere private," he said, and then looked at his lover walk away slowly, cuddling with the baby in her arms.

"Anyway, my mom wants you to go by our house and enjoy a little dinner at our house," he said, muttering, "troublesome." Temari gave a smile and rocked the stroller slowly in her hands.

Sasuke held a hand behind him, gesturing to the furniture and everything else in the house. "Do you want to come in? Sorry for my clothing, I wasn't expecting your visit." Temari was first to step into the room, pushing the baby stroller inside as a dark-headed baby slowly slept, both of his hands tucked under his chin.

Ino came walking out, her hand carefully around her son. Slightly smiling and giggling she said, "I think his hair is starting to grow up like yours, spiking out." she giggled and then kissed the baby's forehead as he yawned. "He's always sleeping…" she looked at the other child in the room. "Oh, he's so cute!" Ino said.

Temari took the baby off the stroller as she sat on the couch, unbuckling the small strap before bringing the baby to her lap. "He is, but unfortunately, he inherited his father's laziness," she said unhappily, and then tucked her hand under the baby's chin.

The small child opened its eyes to look up at his mother, who frowned back down at him before he closed his eyes and returned back to sleep. "He never does anything except sleep more than an average baby should." she frowned once more and looked at Itachi in Ino's arms.

"He's really cute …" she said, arching her head and then placed her son into Shikamaru's arms as she leaned over toward Ino, lightly touching Itachi's hand. "You and Sasuke?"

Ino nodded her head and said, "He's so sweet …I can already see him when he's in his teenage years. He's going to be strong," she said, looking at Sasuke beside her, "powerful, handsome, kind, caring, and …and the most loving person ever …like his father," she said, feeling Sasuke's hands over hers to give it a small squeeze.

She looked up to see Sasuke smile at her and she placed Itachi into his hands, rubbing her hand to the back of his head once before standing up. "Want to help me make breakfast, Temari?" she clapped her hands together happily as Temari stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Temari immediately knew what she was making and continued along her. "You really like Sasuke don't you, wait, I mean love." she smiled kindly.

"He was so cold when he was younger …but he's actually so kind and caring." Ino clasped her hands together and smiled as she thought back.

~'.~'.~'.~'.~

Ino seated Itachi down on the baby stroller, patting his head before standing back up, reading to hold the two handles before Sasuke said, "I got this, you should really just work, your body is still weak from the pregnancy." he began to push the stroller, smiling when he heard the light laughter of his son.

It was only a short distance from Shikamaru's house and they quickly arrived, seeing that all of the food was already set out across the tables. Yoshino and Shikaku already at the table.

Their eyes fell onto Sasuke and they bowed toward them before Yoshino bent down to the stroller. Itachi opened his eyes slowly; delighted to see her and he held his hands out as if he was wanting a hug. Ino unbuckled the small straps on him and placed him onto Yoshino's arms, smiling. "His name is Itachi," she said, her voice and the tone of it surprising the others.

"A loveable baby!" Yoshino said, kissing Itachi's forehead before placing him back into the stroller. "It's nice to see that you're back, Ino, Sasuke. You're certainly much more beautiful than the last time I saw you," she said.

Shikamaru yawned, gaining a strict glare from Yoshino and Temari at the same time. "Of course she is. She was such a little, bossy, spoiled, annoying brat. And of course, Sasuke was the first the see everything underneath and got her first." he walked up the steps with his son and then returned a few minutes later with nothing in his hands.

~'.~'.~'.~

Sasuke left the residence early, saying that he was leaving so he could make it earlier back to their house.

Ino walked into the room, leaving Itachi with Inoichi, blood splattered on the walls and in the center of the living room was Sasuke, blood splattered on his cloths as well. She collapsed onto the floor, trying to heal her lover but she could already tell that he would already have to be in coma.

Her chakra curled out within the village, darkness swirling in its waves as it past Sakura, who recognized it easily.

Then. She knew something was wrong.
