Kushina trained with Naruto for a few months. Naruto had had a nightmare every night and sometimes she would sleepwalk and it scared her. She didn't know what she was doing while she was asleep. The dreams always had Kazar in them and she worried that it was actually Kazar speaking to her via her dreams.
Kushina's stomach was growing larger and baby was kicking. Morning sickness was also taking a toll on the red head and causing her to put off her training with Naruto most of the time. But in the short time that she wasn't sick, Kushina had managed to teach Naruto how to chain Kurama up inside of her body, a method that she herself had used when she still had the demon. It had taken quite a while to completely chain up the demon but it had payed off because Naruto was no longer being spoken to by Kurama nor was she feeling like she was going insane. Kushina was glad that it was working. She had also managed to teach Naruto how to use small amounts of Kurama's chakra. Too much and he would temporarily gain control of Naruto's body.
Naruto felt great now that she wasn't able to communicate with Kurama but she still felt his presence. She hated knowing that she had the demon inside of her but she knew the reason it was inside of her so she could live with it.
Naruto walked down the crowded street, thinking about Sasuke when she felt like someone was watching her. She turned around to see a square shaped rock behind her. She sighed and lifted up the fake hollow rock to reveal Konohamaru. "What are you doing, Konohamaru?" Naruto asked, dropping the rock to the ground and putting her hand on her hips.
"You are the only one for me, Naruto! If I can't have you, no one can!" The little boy yelled, clinging onto Naruto's leg. Everyone in the area was watching as she tried to shake Konohamaru off her leg. He didn't let go.
"Konohamaru, let go of my leg!" Naruto said, still trying to get him off. Konohamaru used his foot to trip Naruto over and climb up her body, going in for the kiss. Naruto could see what he was about to do and pulled hard on his scarf, flinging him off her. He quickly stood and ran back to her but Naruto was gone and Konohamaru was sad. The woman he loved didn't love him back. But he wouldn't let stop him from gaining her affections.
Naruto had used the Hiraishin to teleport to her house. That little devil child! He had no idea how embarrassing that was for her. Next time he does that he is getting a one way trip to the ground via Naruto's fist. It wasn't that she didn't like Konohamaru, she loved the kid. He was so adorable! But he could be so annoying sometimes. It made her want to punch him, which Naruto knew was wrong but knowing that didn't make the urge to punch him any less strong. She used the Hiraishin again and teleported to Sasuke's front doorstep. She knocked on the door and Itachi answered, he let her in and she went to Sasuke's room where he was reading on his bed. He patted the area on the bed next to him and Naruto walked over and made herself comfortable. "Konohamaru has an awkward stalker crush on me." Naruto said, lying on her back next to Sasuke and stared at the ceiling.
"I see I have some competition." Sasuke smiled. He knew that the little boy was harmless and it made him smile. To be honest, he couldn't believe that it had taken this long for anyone to show interest in Naruto, even if the person who was taking interest was eleven or whatever. They sat in comfortable silence, not speaking, not moving, just being silent. Eventually Naruto fell asleep. Sasuke looked at her sleeping face. Even though she had a mask on and her looks had been slightly modified, she looked so calm, peaceful and beautiful. Then her eyebrows drew together and she began to look scared, all trace of her previous serenity lost. She made a strangled screaming sound and started kicking around. It took all of his strength to hold her down. He tried to wake her up but she wasn't responsive, she just kept kicking and trying to get away from him. Tears were streaming down her face and wetting the mask she had covering her face. "Itachi!" Sasuke yelled.
The urgency in his voice brought Itachi running. Itachi saw what was happening and went to help his little brother hold down the girl. She struggled and struggled against them even though she was asleep. Eventually she woke up. Her eyes just snapped open and she stared straight at the ceiling. She was breathing heavily and her face was wet from the tears she had shed. Itachi slowly released the girl, as did Sasuke. They were unsure of how she was going to react. Itachi was confused when she just started sobbing on the ground. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed full body wracking sobs. The sight made Itachi want to cry.
Sasuke pulled the crying Naruto onto his lap and hugged her fiercely. Naruto just hugged him back, much more tightly than he was hugging her, crying into his shoulder. This dream had been the worst one of all. None of her dreams had ever made her cry. When she had almost completely stopped crying, she looked at her wrists. There were three slashes across each. The bleeding was almost completely stopped but they were still raw and sore. Kazar had caught her this time in her dream and he had tortured her. She looked down at her bare stomach and saw bruises across the whole of it.
Sasuke held Naruto's hands and looked at the slashes. He was sure that they weren't there before. And when Naruto looked at her stomach, his eyes followed hers and he saw the bruising. Why had they just come up now? He and Itachi hadn't been holding onto her that hard nor had they cut her.
The two Uchiha boys gave Naruto some time to get herself together before they asked her what was happened in her dream.
"Nothing. Nothing, happened." Naruto said, rubbing the tears from her eyes as she sat on Sasuke's beg. Itachi stood leaning against the wall near the door and Sasuke sat on the ground in the middle of the room. He got up and knelt in front of Naruto, taking her hands in his.
"Naruto, please, I hate seeing you like this." Sasuke said, looking up into Naruto's red eyes. Her eyes kinda gave him the creeps but that didn't matter.
Naruto didn't want to keep it bottled up any longer, which was true. But she couldn't tell her mother because she was dealing with her pregnancy and she didn't need any more stress. She couldn't tell her dad because she didn't want him to be disappointed in her and she didn't feel like she could tell anyone besides Anko who was on a mission. She guessed she could tell Itachi and Sasuke, so she did. She spilt the whole thing out. Turns out that Itachi knew about the demon but Sasuke didn't. Naruto thought that the news of the demon would make Sasuke not want her anymore. She couldn't tell if that was true or not because his face was stoic and emotionless. She was waiting for either of the two Uchiha boys to answer when a head popped up at Sasuke's window. "Ha! Found you!" Konohamaru said as he pointed at Naruto. Naruto jumped off the bed and ran to the door. "No, my love! Come back to me!" Konohamaru launched himself into the room and chased after Naruto who ran out the front door and all the way to her house with Konohamaru on her tail. Once there she found a place to hide. Her mum was the one who found her in one of the kitchen cupboards.
"Holy shit! Naruto you scared me! What are you doing in there anyway?" Kushina asked. She really hadn't been expecting to see her daughter in the cupboard.
"I'm hiding from Konohamaru. He's after me!" Naruto whispered, trying to get out of the cupboard. She eventually did after refusing her pregnant mother's help, insisting that Kushina go sit down and watch the show because there is nothing more interesting than watching your daughter squeeze out of a small cupboard. "Mum, it's terrible. He won't leave me alone! He is going to kiss me! He insists that I am his one true love and if he can't have me no one can!" Naruto said, moving to sit on a chair at the dining table.
Kushina giggled, girlishly. "Oh, honey, Konohamaru has been infatuated with you for as long as I can remember."
"Great, great, anyone else crushing on me that I should know about?" Naruto said.
Kushina laughed, "Just Shikamaru and you already know about Sasuke."
Naruto stood from the table, "Shikamaru! Why doesn't anyone tell me this?" Kushina laughed at her daughter's whining.
Then Kushina's eyes widened, "Either I just pissed myself, or my water broke."
