Kagome kneeled down to her son's level.
"Why doesn't he like me, Mommy?" Sukayu asked quietly once his father was gone.
"Remember how you told me you felt when I told you he was coming?" She questioned, pulling back to look him in the eye.
Sukayu wiped his eyes and sniffled, "Yes, Mommy."
"And what did it feel like?" She smiled at him softly.
"It felt like butterflies were flying in my tummy, mommy, and I was very scared." He confessed, pointing to his stomach.
"That's how your father feels." Kagome assured him.
"Really, mommy?" He looked up at her with his big, innocent onyx eyes.
"Yes, baby, I'm sure of it." She hugged him close so that she wouldn't have to see his face when she lied. 'I hope…'

Sasuke sliced through another clone and watched it dispel. It had been less than a week since he'd discovered he was a father.
His mind conjured the picture of his son once again.
He winced inwardly, seeing the trembling lips and watery eyes of his own blood.
"Hey teme, pay attention!" Naruto shouted at him, "What's your fucking deal, you've been like this all week!"
'Shit!' Sasuke cursed himself and poured chidori into his blade.
Lightning crackled through the air, destroying all of the clones surrounding him.
"What's the point in that Uchiha? I will merely make more!" Their enemy cackled. "And with my little friend here having the ability to read into your mind and find your secrets, I am invincible!"
"Go, Jekanu and find out their secrets!" The man shouted for his teammate -a short, thin child like with startling blue hair- to attack.
The girl nodded quickly formed the hand signs for her jutsu. She closed her eyes for a moment then opened them wide. Her mouth moved rapidly, as if helping her brain decipher what it was reading.
"Damn it!" Naruto dodged an attack from the other ninja and threw some kunai.
The girl leaned over and told her leader everything she had seen.
The man slowly smiled.
Sasuke cursed and moved swiftly, using his chidori filled blade to slice through the girl and kill her.
Even so, the man continued to smile. "You think she was the only one capable of that that I have? Besides, I have the information I want."
The man blocked Sasuke's blade with his own and dodged a kunai from Naruto.
"I wonder what your friend thinks of your secret?" The man's grin revealed sharp, white teeth. "Oh, but wait, he doesn't know does he? You didn't tell your best friend about your little secret did you, Uchiha? You didn't tell him about your-"
The man's head slid to the side and toppled off his shoulders. Sasuke stood from his crouched position and sheathed his katana. "Enough."
"What was he talking about, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, grabbing the stolen heirlooms they were sent to retrieve from the decapitated body.
Sasuke ignored him.
"Sasuke, answer me." Naruto demanded, grabbing the other and pining him into a tree.
"Let me go, dobe. Let me go, now!" Sasuke glared, struggling fiercely.
"No! Not until you tell me!" The blonde replied, tightening his grip.
"I have a son, damn it!" Sasuke yelled in an uncharacteristic fit of uncertainty. "I have a son." He panted.
Then, he glared at the now frozen blonde.
"Wha-?" Naruto mumbled.
"I have a son, dobe."
With a start, Naruto remembered three years ago, back to when he had thought that there was something going on between Sasuke and Kagome.
"That's one of the reasons, Kagome left wasn't it? You knocked her up!" Naruto released the Uchiha and glared.
"Don't look at me like that dobe! I didn't even know he existed until less than a week ago!" Sasuke rubbed his sore neck.
"So you're a dad huh? What's it like? What's your son like? What's his name?" Naruto threw questions at him.
Sasuke sighed and sat on one of the fallen trees. "I have no idea…"
"Eh? What the hell do you mean 'You have no idea'" The blonde shouted, baffled as he sat down next to him.
"I panicked when I saw him. I saw the demon ears and the fangs and the claws and I panicked." He clenched his fists and looked at the ground.
"Oh yeah, he would be a half-demon wouldn't he?" Naruto blinked.
"Yes." Sasuke placed his head in his hands.
"What did you do, teme?" Naruto asked, fearing the worst and regretting that he had such little faith in his best friend.
"I…I called him a monster." Sasuke choked out, feeling the burn of the words in his throat.
Naruto went rigged beside him, his face frozen in an expression of horror.
"When I was leaving, I looked back at him. Other than the demonic additions, he looked just like me…he had my eyes and…" Sasuke took a deep breath, "and he had this look in his eyes…the same one I remember having with Itachi." He choked again.
"Damn, teme…" Naruto sighed heavily and placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder to give him a little comfort. "What are you gonna do?"
Sasuke shook his head, ignoring the wetness on his cheeks. "I don't know, dobe, I just don't know."
