Chapter 9 – Nightmare

The hospital room was still as Karasu slept. It had been full nine months, and she was finally ready to give birth to the child she had carried for so long. But the nice nap that she was enjoying was short lived as the loud scream reached her ears. Her ebony eyes shot open and she looked around trying to locate the source and or direction of the scream.

Being a ninja she was worried about the woman who had screamed. The scream was one not of happiness of surprise, but of pain and fear. She sat up slowly, but her sore back and swollen ankles prevented her from getting out of bed to try and help.

But the trouble that she heard down the hall was now her trouble, as the door to her room flew open. Her eyes locked on the two men that had barged into her room. They wore black cloaks covered in red clouds and that could only mean one thing. But although she knew what she had to do her body just froze in fear, not only for her but also the child that she held in her womb. It didn't take long for the men to land a hit to the back of her head, causing her world to go black.

When her eyes opened, and she regained consciousness, her world was still dark but this time an odd red glow filled the large room. The red light was not bright enough to light the whole room so there were many shadows where she knew things could be hiding. Karasu tried to move away, but she found herself chained to the wall. She closed her eyes and tried to activate her sharingan but something was keeping her from doing it. Something was strange about this place.

She didn't open her eyes till a sharp contraction pained her abdomen. The baby would be coming any minute; she knew that she had to get out of here quick, but how. Karasu began to try and breathe away the pains of labor, but as she did this the wall that she was attached to moved to have her lying on her back, looking at the man who was now standing over her. The room being as dark as it was, she couldn't see who the man was, all she could see was a pare of sharingan eyes looking down at her helpless figure. But those eyes were all she needed to figure out who the man was. She stared daggers at him, but she was stopped by another contraction, his time a burst of liquid followed.

A small chuckle escaped from the man's lips, as he watched her. He soon turned away from Karasu, and headed to the end of the table. He took a hold of her ankles, placed her feet on the table and spread her legs apart. After attaching her legs where he wanted them, he placed his first two fingers into her opening that was almost ready to deliver a child.

Karasu was more frightened then she had ever been in her entire life. Her first child was almost here and she would have to deliver them into the hands of a killer. Another contraction came and now she could feel the pressure of the baby's head, she took a deep breath and tried to think of what to do. She felt so alone as she tried to prepare herself.

She held in her first scream enough for it to be a whimper, as the baby's head passed. But when the shoulders came, she couldn't hold it in. Karasu let out a wail of pain, as the baby's shoulders felt like they were ripping though her. The rest was easier but still extremely painful for the first time mother. But as the baby's feet finally passed, Karasu tried to lift her tear stained face to see the new life she had brought into this world, but she was too weak from her endeavor. All she could do was listen to the cries of the new born.

It took a moment, but the man who held her here finally helped her, cutting the baby's umbilical cord. Karasu didn't know that there was more to do but the man obviously did. He took the other end of the cord and gave it a hard tug.

Karasu felt the flesh rip inside of her, and she let out a scream of pain that would curdle even the most hardened killer's blood. She was consumed by the extreme pain, and could feel the blood pooling.

The man held her baby up as he turned the platform Karasu had been strapped to, back upright. She could feel the blood running down her leg, and she also began to feel light headed. Karasu struggled to try and see through the darkness, but all she was able to make out was a rough outline of her child.

"Karasu I can not let this child live…" The man said his voice cold and emotionless. "Any new Uchiha brought into this world will be my doing and no one else's."

Karasu was already in shock when the voice she heard was not the one she expected. But as the man finished speaking the red light grew brighter allowing her to see her baby, but also her kidnapper. Her eyes grew wide and hot tears streamed down her face as she beheld the sight in front of her. Having given birth to the child only moments the first thing she saw was the baby. The new born boy was pail and had same facial features as Itachi.

She wanted to stare at her son all day but her brain would not let her ignore the man. She watched in helpless horror as he walked over to a pillar. Karasu took deep slow breaths trying to prolong her consciousness; she was already beginning to feel the effects from her massive blood loss. Her tears grew heavier as the man slammed the new born against the pillar, and pulled a long kunai from his pocket.

"SASUKE!!!!!!!" Karasu yelled as her lover plunged the kunai into the baby's abdomen.

Karasu's eyes shot open, a cold sweat covering her body, her hands in a white knuckle grip of the sheets, and a horrified scream escaped her lips. She was panting, her heart racing, as she tried to figure out if what she was seeing was real or still part of her horrid dream.

Sasuke, who had fell asleep in the chair near the bed, was now wide awake because of the scream. "Karasu are ok?" he asked as he walked over to her bed side. He tried to take a hold of her small hand, but was immediately smacked away.

"Don't touch me you monster…" Karasu said as she sat up and smacked Sasuke's hand away. "You killed him! You killed our son!"

Sasuke looked down at her in shock, but quickly took a hold of her shoulders. "Babe it was just a nightmare… Every things fine, the baby's fine…"

Karasu's mind calmed itself and it many swirling emotions all of a sudden changed in to a relieved fear. "OH Sasuke it was so scary…" She said tears flowing from her eyes as she buried herself into Sasuke's embrace.

"Shhh… It's all right now… None of it was real…" Sasuke said trying to calm his fiancé. He pulled her out of his chest and sat down behind her one leg on either side, allowing her to lay on him. He wrapped his arms around her letting his hands caress her small baby bump.
