Chapter 15: Memories
I awoke with a groan. My head pounded inside my skull. I looked around the room and found I was the only one up. I stood and pulled Shino's jacket on since I couldn't spot my shirt. I walked into the kitchen and prepared coffee and got the aspirin down. Shino walked in and wrapped his arms around me his head rested on my shoulder.
"I believe that this is mine." I shook my head softly.
"Not anymore. It's unbelievably comfy so I'm claiming it." Shino chuckled and kissed my cheek before going up stairs to wake the boys. I stared on breakfast as groans started coming from the living room signaling more people waking.
After food was eaten and aspirin taken with coffee everyone felt much better. I passed around water and we all drank it as we talked more. The boys played around the house with Akamaru and Itachi sat chit chatting with us, a cup of coffee in his hands.
There was a knock at the door followed by it being opened. Kurenai-sensei and baby Asuma appeared walking into the dining room. She smiled at all of us before taking a seat. I stood and took baby Asuma from her as she ate and drank some coffee. I bounced the 2 month old baby on my leg.
"Sasuke woke this morning." I jerked my head up and stared at my Sensei. Itachi's head shot up as well.
"He doesn't remember anything apparently." I blinked and looked down at the baby that drooled on his own hand. Sasuke wasn't the type to fake memory loss…So he most really not remember…
"Ibiki wants you and Itachi to stop by and see him…He thinks seeing you might wake Sasuke's memories…" I nodded. It made since out of all people Sasuke would most likely remember us most. I just didn't know if I could handle seeing him acting somewhat like he used to.
After everyone left Shino, Itachi and I took the boys across the street to be watched by Shibi. Shino stayed with them to help his father watch the boys. Itachi and I walked towards the interrogation center in silence.
When we arrived we were taken to a small room. Ibiki walked in moments later. He explained that Sasuke had woken up and didn't even remember his own name let alone who Orochimaru was. After being briefed we headed to Sasuke's cell.
Sasuke was laying down on a ratty looking bed that was up against the wall. He looked to be asleep. Ibiki ran something along the bars waking Sasuke up with a start. Sasuke stood and walked over closer to us.
He stared at us for a moment. I looked him over as well. Sasuke looked…innocent. His eyes held no hatred or malice like they once had. His face looked softer and kinder then before as well. Sasuke stared at me the longest like he could almost remember something, but not quite.
"I know your both close to me, but I…I can't remember who you are." My heart stung and my eyes teared up. I wasn't sad…no I was relieved. Sasuke sounded like he honestly couldn't place our faces to names much less memories. Ibiki led us away from Sasuke.
"Inoichi says he isn't faking it. I can't hold him here for crimes he doesn't remember committing. The Hokage agrees with me." I nodded understanding what he was saying. Sasuke would be cleared for as long as he didn't remember his crimes.
"Take him home and keep an eye on him. If he starts to remember bring him back by any means necessary." Itachi and I nodded even though I did not like the idea of Sasuke being near my children. Maybe they could stay with Shino for the time being…
Sasuke was released to us and we walked down the streets of Konoha together for the first time in years. We stopped off at a store and got Sasuke some clothes he could wear. When he asked why he didn't have any at home I told him that they all got destroyed in the attack. Not a lie, but still wasn't wholly the truth.
"Mama!" I grimaced as both boys came running up to us. Shino trailed after them. He eyed Sasuke closely while I bent and hugged Kyou and Ryou.
"You have children…I can't remember them either…" Sasuke looked at the boys with sadness and they looked back with confusion. They didn't know who he was.
"You never met them. They are adopted. Boys this is mommies twin Sasuke. And this is Kyou and Ryou, Sasuke." I said as happily as I could. Shino came up behind me and placed his arm around me. I leaned into him for support. Sasuke eyed Shino for a moment.
"You have a boyfriend…" I sighed looks like I have to over protective brothers after all. Kami help me.
"We engaged actually." Shino said shortly. He had never liked Sasuke. My twin looked at both of us probably trying to remember memories that he never had. I frowned and tried to stop my heart from hurting so much. Why was this so hard?
"Babies you're going to be staying with daddy and grandpa for a bit while Uncle Sasuke gets back on his feet. Won't that be fun?" Both boys nodded and smiled from ear to ear. They rushed on a head of us racing each other to Shibi's house. We trailed after them Shino and I both watching them closely.
Once home I fixed lunch while Itachi led Sasuke upstairs and into the boy's room. Itachi came back down and into the kitchen explaining Sasuke was taking a shower. It was just us two in the kitchen seeing as how Shino had taken the boys and their stuff to his and Shibi's house.
"Do you think he'll ever remember?" I asked as I cut veggies and put them on a plate. I had already made sandwiches up.
"I do not know Mimi." I sighed and nodded tears pricked my eyes.
"I want so much for him to never remember, but it hurts seeing him like this." I said through tears. Itachi sighed and pulled me into him. I cried until we heard the water upstairs shut off. I pulled away and dried my eyes off on a hand towel. I set the plates of veggies and sandwiches down on the table just as Sasuke came down stairs.
His hair was still dripping wet and he wore grey sweatpants and a black t-shirt with a small towel around his neck. Sasuke looked so much more innocent standing there that I nearly broke down again. We all sat down and ate in a tense silence.
"So…why does it feel like I haven't been around you both much?" I swallowed thickly.
"Simple, we both have been on missions that took a long time to complete. I came back just a few weeks ago where as you came back yesterday. You were injured which is probably why you can't remember anything." I nodded when Sasuke looked to me to confirm Itachi's story.
It was heart breaking to have to lie to my twin, but what else could we tell him? "Oh you've just been out hanging with a deranged snake man who you recently killed. Also you nearly killed your own brother." I doubt that would of gone over well…
After eating Sasuke offered to help me clean up while Itachi went out to water the few things in my garden. I stood there washing dishes and trying to act like this was normal. Sasuke seemed at ease though and he never seemed to notice my awkwardness.
"Kyou and Ryou are good boys. I'm kind of jealous of you sis." I jerked my head to the side to look at Sasuke. He had a small smile on his face as he dried a dish off. He turned and looked at me tilting his head.
"What? I can't be jealous of my twin? You have two children that look up to you and love you unconditionally. As well as a man that thinks the world of you and loves you like no other could. Mina you have built a family here." I blinked and studied Sasuke. Could he really be jealous of me? He had only ever been angry with me for something he didn't have or couldn't do, but was never jealous.
Then again the person standing next to me was not the Sasuke I had grown up with. He was totally different. More open and carefree. If only he was like this in the first place…
"You've never been jealous of me before." I forced a laugh after I said that. Sasuke smiled and shrugged going back to drying dishes.
"Maybe I always have been, but could never tell you." I paused to consider Sasuke's words. Could that have been true? Surely I would have noticed if he was right? We finished the dishes in silence and my head still spun with unanswered questions pertaining to my twin.
"I'm headed to bed. Goodnight Itachi, Sasuke." They both looked up from the Tv and waved. I climbed the stairs crying silent tears. I collapsed onto my bed and held my pillow close. My heart was heavy and hurting for my twin. I fell asleep with tears still falling from my eyes.
Four months quickly passed. Sasuke and Itachi moved out and into the two other homes in the Compound. The boys moved back in with me. Shibi and Shino moved into the newly finished Aburame Compound. Things sort of became normal again.
Sasuke took up a job helping build homes that still needed building around Konoha. It was hard for all of us to act like Sasuke had been a part of the Village all along and hadn't left almost three years ago. It was hardest on me, Itachi and Sasuke's old team though.
Naruto tried to avoid Sasuke as much as possible and even left to stay in Suna for a month. We had all gathered to see him off just last night then came back to my place for diner. It was awkward with Sasuke there, but somehow we managed to act normal.
Sakura and I had no choice but to see Sasuke on a regular basis. He was my twin so I couldn't avoid him. Sakura was the medical ninja over seeing his mental health so she saw him every week. Itachi never showed if it bothered him, but I could tell that it did even though he couldn't exactly see Sasuke.
"Mama can you take us trainging? Please?" I looked down at my boys. I was currently washing up after breakfast. Kyou and Ryou had started going to the academy just last month and were always asking to be taken training.
"Sure we can go train for a few hours." They cheered and run upstairs to get their kunai that Itachi had gotten them. I smiled and finished the dishes and went to get my own weapons pouch. We set off towards training ground six.
I worked with the boys on the art of kunai throwing until they grew bored of it. We moved on to work on molding chakra for jutsu. Kyou was good at taijutsu but not so good with his charka molding where as Ryou was opposite of his brother.
After training we headed over to visit with Shino and Shibi. Kyou and Ryou played with Shibi while Shino and I talked over plans for the wedding. It had been decided after the attack that we would wait until the Aburame Compound was complete to have the wedding. So now here we were working out details for the wedding that was only a week away.
I was nervous for the wedding. Everyone would be there to watch and celebrate. I had already picked out my dress with my bride's maids; Ino, Sakura, TenTen, Temari and Naruto. Hinata was my maid of honor. Shino's grooms men where Choji, Lee, Neji, Shikamaru and Gaara. Naruto had argued with us until he was a bride's maid and not a grooms men saying that he knew me better so it was only right to stand on my side of the ceremony.
I had decided that both Sasuke and Itachi would give me away to Shino. Kyou and Ryou were the ring bearers. Lady Tsunade would be the one to marry us. We decided to get married on top of the Hokage monument. All that was left was the after party stuff.
I wasn't allowed to cook so Hinata took up responsibility for that being more then able to cook great meals now. We were currently trying to figure out where to have the party. My place was too small to fit everyone so it was voted out.
"How about we hold it here in the meeting hall? It is big enough to set tables up in and house everyone." I looked up at Shino. We sat at his dining room table papers with the wedding plans on them spread out.
"That would be perfect actually." I smiled and leaned over kissing Shino on the lips. He smiled into the kiss but pulled back before we got too carried away.
"So then all that's left is to actually get married." I giggled and nodded glad to be done with the planning. Shino and I both stood and stretched out our muscles. We cleaned up the papers and went to talk to Shibi about using the meeting hall.
Shibi agreed happily and led us to it. The boys trailed after us. When we got there Shino and I worked out how to set the place up. An hour later we finished finalizing everything and walked back to Shibi's house. I smiled and looked around the Compound.
It had been decided that I would move into here once married to Shino. This was because Shino was unable to leave seeing as he was to take over as head of the Aburame clan once he turned twenty. Itachi was taking the reins of the Uchiha clan, we were rebuilding it, and was in charge of clan affairs. It also had been decided that I would keep Uchiha as my last name and add Aburame on after it.
After diner the boys and I headed home. I tucked them into bed with a night time lullaby and then shut the door behind me. I crawled into my own bed but could not sleep. Thoughts of the upcoming wedding fresh in my mind making me restless.
Getting out of bed I made a clone to stay in case the boys woke then pulled on Shino's jacket. I silently made my way out of the house and down the street. I walked idly down the darkened streets hands in the pockets of Shino's jacket.
My thoughts wondered from wedding plans to my twin. I remembered times when we were still innocent to the dark ways of this world. We still held hope and in Sasuke's case compassion back in those days. Mother had raised us gently while Father choose to be hard with us, the boys especially.
I walked up the hill that led to the Hokage monument. I thought of my times with Shino then as I made my way a top the monument. When I got there I looked out over the Village. I sighed and once again thought of Sasuke. Words came out of my mouth before I ever realized I was singing.
(She sings You will never be by Julia Sheer)
"My this is the second time that I have the pleasure to find you up here singing my dear." I jumped and turned to face Shibi. I smiled softly at him through my tears.
"What troubles you this time? It couldn't have anything to do with that twin of yours could it?" Shibi said reading me like an open book. I turned facing Konoha and Shibi walked up next to me.
"Its only a matter of time before he starts to remember. Being with him like this…Like nothing bad had ever happened and this was the way he had always been…it makes it all the more harder to face that day." A few tears slipped down my face as I looked out over the Village. Shibi was quiet watching the Village as lights started to awaken within the houses.
"We all must leave this world eventually my dear. It is in the way the people we held dear choose to remember us and not the way we left that matters most. Sasuke's memories will return and his life will end that day, but how you choose to honor his memory is up to you to decide." I looked up at my soon to be Father in law. His words rang through my head over and over.
"Remember him for the good times or choose to hold onto the bad times. It is all up to you my dear." Shibi took his leave and left me to my thoughts. My heart thumbed painfully inside my chest. Shibi's words didn't make it any easier on me to know that my twin would soon face death once he remembered.
I walked back to my house after an hour more on top of the monument. I silently climbed up the stairs and into my room. The clone disappeared as I flopped down onto my bed. My mind finally let me drift off into an uneasy sleep. My dreams full of memories I had made with Sasuke, the good and the bad ones.
A week passed by like water pouring down a cliff, Itachi had regained his sight just in time for the wedding. I found myself now standing in front of a mirror. Hinata stood behind me tying the back of my dress. It was a simple thing really. White with inch thick straps to hold the top up and a loose flowing skirt that stopped at my ankles. I had chosen it after falling in love with the old fashion style of it.
Half of my hair was done up in an elegant bun with loose curls falling out. The rest of my hair fell in loose curls down my back. Hinata stood and straightened out her own dress. It was simple like my own, a deep purple color. It hugged her body nicely and the front stopped at her knees while the back flowed down to her ankles. The top looked as though it wrapped around her body and held its self up without the help of sleeves of straps.
Sakura wore a pale green dress that was the same design as Hinata's, her hair up in a bun. Ino wore one in a deep red color that suited her skin tone and her hair was up as usual. Temari choose to wear a dark blue one with her hair down while TenTen wore a pale pink one and her hair in her two buns. Naruto stood in a tux, a white button down shirt and a bright orange tie. His hair as usual was messy.
The time came to get ready to walk. Sasuke and Itachi came in; they both wore tuxes and blue ties. Itachi and Sasuke both stared at me in awe. I blushed and looked down at myself.
"What? Do I look that bad?" I started to panic. Itachi chuckled while Sasuke shook his head quickly.
"My little Mimi you just look so grown up. I still thought of you as a child, but standing before me now I can see you have grown into a beautiful woman." I smiled and hugged Itachi and then grabbed Sasuke's arm pulling him into the hug as well.
The music started to play and we pulled a part. Both my brothers offered me their arm and I took them holding my bouquet of white lilies in my hands. Itachi reached up and pulled my veil over my face.
We walked out of the tent that was set up for me and down the make shift isle. Everyone stood and stared at us. Some mouths dropped while others had tears in their eyes. I looked ahead and into Shino's eyes. He did not wear his sunglasses on this day.
"Who gives this woman to this man?" Tsunade said as we reached the alter that was set up. Itachi and Sasuke both raised their hands. Tsunade nodded and they turned to me, both lifting my veil. Sasuke hugged me close then stepped back and took a seat behind us. Itachi studied me for a moment before kissing me on the cheek and handing me off to Shino. He took his place next to Sasuke.
"Friends and family, we gather here today to witness the binding of two individuals in love. If anyone objects to their union speak now or forever hold your tongue!" Tsunade looked over the crowd and when no one objected she continued.
"Bring the rings forth!" Kyou and Ryou hurried down the isle both holding pillows. They were so cute in their little tuxes. Ryou stood next to me while Kyou stood next to Shino.
"Shino do you take Mina to be your lawfully wedded wife? In sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till death does you part?" Shino looked from Tsunade to me. I smiled softly as a small blush appeared on my face.
"I do." Shino took the ring from Kyou and slipped it on my finger. Tsunade turned to me.
"Same question Mina." The crowd chuckled at their Hokage's laziness. I looked Shino in the eyes and knew that I could never deny him for my heart was solely his to hold.
"I do." I took the ring from Ryou and slipped it on his finger. The crowd clapped and Ryou and Kyou took their seats next to Itachi.
"By the power given to me as Hokage I now pronounce you husband and wife. Shino you may now kiss your blushing bride." I blushed more and Shino captured my lips in a tender kiss. Everyone cheered and clapped for us. We turned and faced them.
"I am happy to give you the newlywed Shino and Mina Uchiha-Aburame!" We walked down the isle as a couple as everyone stood clapping and cheering. Shino pulled me closer at the end of the isle and we vanished into a cloud of bugs.
We appeared again in Shibi's house. By the time we walked over to the meeting hall everyone had filed into greet us. I smiled and held Shino's hand. Music started playing and Shino pulled me into a slow dance.
After the dance we sat at the front table. Ryou and Kyou sat next to me followed by my bride's maids. Shino's groom's men sat next to him. We all chatted and ate happily music playing in the background.
The evening ended as people congratulated us on their way out. Sasuke and Itachi both hugged me and then shook hands with Shino welcoming him into the family. Shibi pulled me into a big hug saying he was happy to welcome me officially into the family.
One by one our friends came up and congratulated us in their own way. Hinata and Kiba had hugged us both tears were in Hinata's eyes as she walked away. Naruto came up and bear hugged us both. Gaara had surprised me with a small hug of his own before shaking Shino's hand.
After everyone had left Shino turned to me with a smile on his face. Before I could say anything I was picked up and carried off by Shino. I laughed as Shino kicked open the door to our new house. He set me down and we both took off our shoes.
(Warning R rated from here until end of chapter! Don't like it than don't read it! You have been warned!)
Warm lips captured mine as soon as I stood back up. I closed my eyes and kissed Shino back as he walked me back into a wall pinning me there. Things got more heated as Shino's tongue started playing with mine. I moaned into the kiss and Shino lifted me up as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
Shino carried me up the stairs and into our room never breaking our heated kiss. He set me down on the bed and I worked his tux jacket off. Shino's hands started to lift the hem of my dress and I shivered as his hands ran up my bare legs.
I worked at the buttons holding Shino's shirt on. Once they were undone Shino shrugged the shirt off. My hands roamed his toned chest and abdomen making him groan and kiss me more feverishly.
Shino pulled back and I sat up letting him undo the dress lifting it over my head. My lips were captured again in a searing and lust filled kiss leaving me breathless and hot. Shino left my mouth and trailed hot kisses down my neck making me moan. About this time I noticed that Shino's beetles were crawling everywhere all of them free from their master. I didn't care one bit and moaned again as Shino bit into my neck softly.
I trailed my hands down Shino's body making him shiver. I undid his belt pulling it off and tossing it somewhere in the room. Shino undid my bra leaving me in only my panties. I felt suddenly afraid. Visions of my time with Orochimaru came flooding back. I started to panic no longer seeing Shino before m, but instead someone I feared greatly.
Shino pulled away as I started to struggle to get free from under him. He looked worried and tried to reach out to touch me. I lashed out not seeing my husband and only Orochimaru before me. I looked around wildly trying to find escape.
"Mina…Mina it's alright I'm not going to hurt you! I promise you." I was brought back out of my panic at the sight of a pinky finger shoved in front of me. I blinked and finally saw Shino again. Tears fell from my eyes as I nodded hooking my pinky with his. Shino sighed in relief and pulled me close.
He just held me for what seemed like forever until I pulled away. I looked up at him feeling no more fear. Shino stared back trying to judge if he should continue where we left off. I closed my eyes and kissed him letting him know that what I wanted without uttering a word.
Shino picked up on my desires, but went slowly. He kissed me tenderly and let his hands gently caress my body. I shivered and moaned softly at his touch. I felt so loved and secure that no fear came back to me.
I trailed my hands down Shino's chest once again making him shiver and kiss me with more passion and desire. Shino again trailed searing hot kisses down my neck. He kissed his way to my right breast and took my nipple into his mouth.
Red hot desire surged through me as Shino sucked and licked my nipple. His hand gently messaged my other breast while his mouth worked on the right one. I was a puddle of goo by time he came back up to capture my lips in a hot desire and lustful kiss.
My hands found the hem of Shino's pants and I undid the button. I pulled the zipper down with some difficulty seeing as Shino had a bulge in his pants. He groaned when my hand brushed over it unzipping his pants the rest of the way. Shino stood and kicked off his pants.
I sat up and hooked my fingers under the hem of his boxers. I looked up into Shino's eyes as I slowly pulled them down freeing him of their restraint. Shino pushed me gently back onto the bed kissing me. His hands made quick work to dispose of my panties.
Shino positioned himself at my wet and hot entrance. He stared into my eyes asking for permission. I nodded my head slowly and gasped when Shino pushed into me. I closed my eyes as a slight pain filled me as my walls adjusted to Shino's size.
After a few minutes the pain ebbed away. I tested movement by slowly rocking my hips up into Shino's. He groaned and his head dropped into the crook of my neck. No pain filled me so I did it again only more forceful this time.
Shino got the hint and started to slowly move in and out of me. Burning pleasure filled me and I moaned out grabbing onto Shino as he moved. We moved in time with each other going faster and hard with every thrust.
"Ahhh Shino!" I cried out in pleasure when he thrusted into a certain spot that sent searing hot pleasure running through me. I scratched down his back as he thrust again and again into the same spot. I was getting close to my end and I could tell Shino was also.
I moaned his name loudly as his thrusts grew wild and uncontrolled. Shino groaned loudly as I scratched down his back once more. Suddenly pure and hot pleasure took me fast and hard as I came screaming out Shino's name.
"Ah! M-Mina!" Shino groaned out as his orgasm hit him just as hard and fast as mine had. Shino leaned down and kissed me breathlessly then pulled out of me and lay down next to me. He pulled me close and I rested my head on his chest listening to his heart pound away.
"I love you Shino." I said breathlessly.
"I love you two Mina." Shino replied just as breathless. We laid there basking in the afterglow of our lovemaking. That night we took pleasure in each other's company many times, each time better then the last. Finally sleep over took us and we gave in falling asleep in each other's arms.
