A/N: Okay so where were we again? I have a terrible memory so I need to think...Ohh yeah! Sakura out in the village and Gaara in the shower. Okay, i'll get on with it shall I?
Sakura held Tarina's hand all the way through the village. The shocking tumbling and turning in her stomach had subsided but a dull throbbing had enveloped her lower stomach now. She was early in the pregnancy but the doctor had said that there was a slight chance, given both of the babies were demon, that she could be due sooner. That ment weekly examinations, thourghly supervised by Gaara and hormone pills. She could feel the babies kicking already, that wasn't good. Seienna said the little boy was a little more restless than his little sister. Everytime Gaara put his hand on her stomach, it was met by a slight tap from the little one. Gaara became greatly amused with it and started playing soccer with a tiny ball on her stomach. The baby would kick the ball from the inside causing the ball to jump into the air. Sakura sighed as she saw the sunlight slowly set behind the tall walls of the canyon.
"Are you feeling any better Sakura-chan?", Tarina asked her.
"Yes, Thankyou Tarina! I'm felling a lot better. Maybe Gaara will be able to get back into his work routine now...", Sakura said happily. Tarina smiled and sighed.
"You are very lucky Sakura-chan. Gaara will make a great father...", she smiled at her. Did she ever stop smiling?
"I know", Sakura said extending her smile so it showed all her pointy teeth. Unfortunately the side effect of pregnancy in demons was the growth rate of her fingernails and teeth. She had to get them filed every week and regually bit her nails now.
"Shall we go back?", Tarina asked her and held out her arm. Sakura nodded and they started to walk back towards the quarters.
Gaara was pacing like a caged cat when Sakura arrived home.
"I see you enjoyed your walk?", he said with a grin. She flopped down on the futon just showing some thigh before she pulled her kimono down.
"As a matter of factly I did! Tarina is really nice too, she made me a special mix that gets rid of my morning sickness so I can do normal stuff now...", Sakura asnwered as she lazily kicked off her sandals. Her belly was so inflated now that it pulled up her kimono slightly. She rolled over onto her side, her sleeping position, her relaxing position.
"So what have the twins been up to?", Gaara asked smiling.
"They've been strangely quiet all day. Even the little boy was quiet...", she said as she closed her eyes slightly. Gaara walked over and lay down next to her...
"Ohh well, no soccer today then...", Gaara said with a hint if humor. Sakura smiled, Tarina was right...he would make a great dad... Funny, protective and cute all at the same time. No wonder they were fated mates. She sighed before closing her weary eyes. Gaara snuggled up behind her and laced his strong arms around her chest. He cupped her breasts and pulled her into him before he too fell asleep...
Tarina crossed the courtyard to the shadows where she pulled off the blonde wig to reveal short blue, silky hair. Next came the contacts and mask. She didn't use the transformation jutsu for two reasons...Gaara was extreemly protective of Sakura and would pick up on the chakra usage and two, it used so much! She would have bound to faint after a whole day of undercover work.
"What's new today Konan?", asked the cloaked figure near the wall. He was tall, lean and had so many peircings that there was alomost no real skin left. Orange fluffed up hair and nose bars completed the look, and as the leader walked out of the shadows two spiral- like eyes flashed under the half-moon light.
"Pein-sama...Nothing to report today but morning sickness. I used the drug to settle that but otherwise the babies have been rather quiet", Konan purred to her master. She was relitively new but was basically on first name basis with Pein. He respected her for her artistic capabilities and she respected him for his power. The only Rinnegan user left...a powerful deity and ally, he was the ultimate source of power besides the demons. She ont the other hand, was a paper crafter, an origami fighter...the lowest of the group but still respected. Pein grunted and walked over to her. His gift was special...by touching an opponent or ally's forhead he could channel the sights and sounds they'd seen and find what he was looking for.
"Is she alone soon?", he rumbled.
"Not for a while, Gaara-sama is very protective. I thought he'd seen through my props at one stage. He's got a meeting tomorrow...we could get her then", Konan suggested. Pein shook his head.
"Remember...I want her and the babies alive. The babies and her are what i want. The twins she will bare will be all demon, the youger, the stronger the soul will be for the statue-demon", he said. She nodded and walked further towards him, stopping inches from his nose.
"I missed you Pein-sama", she hissed in his ear as she nibbled his neck. He grunted again and picked her up.
"You're going to have another day off tomorrow aren't you?", Pein growled. She looked up at him with puppy-dog-eyes and he sighed.
'Fine, okay. Are you going to spend the day with the rest of us or here?", he asked her. She thought for a moment...
"With the rest of the boys...I feel like smacking Itachi around a little. I haven't had anything to rent my anger on...", she hissed at him. He shook his head, making his many peircings tinkle as she did so.
"You girls are just as bad him anyway. Ohhh, and Tobi wants to talk to you for some reason...", he said as he picked her up.
"Did he say why?", she asked him. He shook his head. The Rinnegan started to glow red and she felt the world spin. He flitted into the new lair at an incredible speed. Kisame let out a load shock as he crossed the room towards his private study, glaring at him as he walked past. None, not even Itachi would go near him in this state...he was deprived, and that was the worst possible thing... The door slamed shut and remained shut...Kisame picked up Samehada and swung it over his back into the cover and walked away to his room...A red eye gleamed from the dark corner as Tobi emerged from his mediation. Pein was giving orders again! How dare he? Tobi was the leader and he knew it! Konan was his as well! He grumbled lightly and sulked off towards the back door...
Sakura awoke to a strange tingling sensation in her lower stomach...The babies must be fighting again...
It's not them Sakura-chan... The strangely masculine female voice said suddenly.
Then what's wrong?
Nothing, they're sleeping...They need blood soon through, they're developing quite fast you know. They've already got fingernails and hair.
Nice, I'm going to be scratched up from the inside... How long do I have?
I'd say two months tops. It's already been three...and demons don't carry full term like a human.
Okay...So how long aproximately?
I just said! Three to Two months tops! Sakura sighed, a pregnant, hormonal demon and two little demon babies that won't stop fighting...and they're not even born yet!!!!
"Sakura, you okay?", the deep, sexy voice of Gaara called out from the kitchen. The smell of bacon, eggs and ramen floated up the stairs ignighting Sakura's hunger...
"Yeah, I just woke up".
"Want some breakfast? Ohh yeah! Kankurou's wife went into labour last night, she had a healthy little boy, splitting image of Kankurou. He's already painted the face markings on it", Gaara called from downstairs. Sakura smiled, she'd known it would be a boy...but splitting image of sexy Kankurou? Wow!
"Yeah, i'll have some! Can we visit then today?", Sakura asked as she slipped into her silky robe. She's taken to sleeping bare for the last couple of weeks as the pyajama's she usually wore cut in under her expanding belly, making sleep basically impossible. The undies didn't help either... She trudged downstairs to find Gaara sitting at the table, his plate heaped with food and an even bigger plate next to him. A glass of red liquid balanced on a cup mat.
"What's that?", she asked him suspiciously. He smiled and produced a small carton.
"It's blood-orange juice. Kakashi sent it over for you and I thought you might like a glass with the bacon and eggs", Gaara said. She shrugged and downed the whole glass, sat back and looked at Gaara, juice dripping down her chin.
"I think i'll tell Kakashi to get more, you seem to like it...", he said.
"That wasn't juice was it?", she asked him scowling. Gaara gave her a cheezy, three year old smile.
"How did you know? Do you know what it was?", he asked her. She nodded.
"Rabbit blood and orange juice...", she said smartly. Gaara shook his head.
"Actually, It's just rabbit blood. The doctor phoned last night and recomended you start drinking it now otherwise the babies could be in trouble. He also said my blood could kill them so it had to be either human or animal...", Gaara said amused. Sakura laughed unexpectedly and walked over to Gaara, resting her hands on his shoulder. Gaara looked up into her pearlecent, green eyes and smiled. They were his babies and she was his mate...anyone stupid enough to challenge that idea were digging their own graves.
Meanwhile Pein adressed his minions at the main lair in the sound country...
"Okay, now we all probably want to know what's going on, don't we?", Pein asked them all. At the present there were 9 members there. Itachi ( newly resurrected: Pein resurrected him), Konan ( flower-chan:aka flower-bitch to Tobi), Hidan (finally found after a year underground...), Kakuzu ( found wadering the leaf village forest), Zetsu, Deidara ( brought back again by Pein), Sasori ( just needed to be resurrected and re-built), Kisame ( little fishy!), Tobi ( Obito Uchiha? Madara Uchiha?) and Pein himself. He'd wasted a lot of chakra bringing them back but it was well worth it, as they were going to need all the help they could get...
"Word has infomed us that there are a two demon kits, pure blood and the only ones of their kind about to be born. We have about two months to gather our forces...we need new recruits and also new weapons, particually you Deidara as you faced the demon's mate before...", Pein said and looked over to Konan. She nodded and stepped forwards.
"We need the demons to awaken the beast of the statue! We have limited time so prepare yourselves carefull, we can't make any mistakes", she said bitterly as she adressed them. Some nodded.
"Any suggestions lady Konan?", Itachi asked.
"Yes, improve your sharingan and Kisame...invent different jutsu techniques, the leaf ninjas, if called in to reiforce during our raid...already know your moves. As for the arty couple, Sasori and Deidara, work on the same thing. Gaara, Kakashi and Naruto have already managed to defeat your clay Deidara...and Sakura and that old Grandma beat you Sasori, try to make yourself less vunerable...", she said with authority. The other members nodded as well and stood silently waiting to be excused.
"You may go and prepare. Remember...two months, that's all i'll allow...", Pein finished as he dismissed them. He looked over to Itachi, he seemed stressed lately. Pein had gone off at him a while ago for trying to take charge...but that was no excuse for this behavior. How strange... Pein thought to himself as he watched Konan walk over to Itachi and begin to talk.
Ahh, she's trying to make peace...she backed me that day for no reason. When he died she became upset and unsettled...Maybe she has feelings for him... Ohh well...at least he has someone... He said to himself as he glided over to the study room, watching Itachi and Konan out of the corner of his swirling, grey eyes...
A/N: What are the Akatsuki planning? What will they do to Sakura and the babies! O hope they don't kill them, this story was just getting good! Ohh well, gotta have some suspense in there somewhere! Remember people! Read and Rate!!!! I need comments and reviews to help me write faster!!!!!!!!! Don't go all quiet on me!!!
Itachi: What are YOU doing up late? The light from your door is waking me up!
DarkAngel: Sorry Itachi-sama, why did I interrupt you and Deidara?
Itachi: What the hell???? Deidara's a guy! Why would I be with him? Do I look gay to you?
DarkAngel: Ummmm no...BUT I STILL THINK DEIDARA IS A GIRL!!!
Deidara: Ohh man! Not cool Angel un!!!!
Pein: Angel, look here's some skittles now go to sleep! It's frigging 10:00!!
DarkAngel: YAY SKITTLES!!!!!!
Deidara: Okay, i'm running now... (Runs into his room and slams door)
Itachi: Great one Pein! now she'll be awake till 12, high on sugar!
DarkAngel: Hey! Where's all the red ones? And the purple ones?
Itachi: Pein, you sly dog!
DarkAngel: Pein, you come here right now!!!!! You are going to give me back my skittles right now!!!!!!
Pein: Ohh shit! EVIL ANGEL ON SUGAR INDUCED RAMPAGE!!!!!!!!!! (seven doors open with scared akatsuki members hiding behind each...Kisame singing a lullaby to his pet fishy...WTF?)
DarkAngel: I'm going to kill you Pein!!!!! (runs after Pein who is making a mad dash to his study )(doesn't make it in time and is attacked by Angel...)
Itachi: Well folks, it seems my young, sugar obsessed friend is unavaliable right now so I will end this now...Go to sleep everyone!!!!! (walks away to room)
(Pein passed out on floor and Angel sitting on lounge with complete bag of skittles, watching Underworld...)
