Sorry for not updating in so long. I had writers block. It sucked. But I really wanted to get the guy's home...so in this chapter they come home! XD Enjoy!
Rubbing her eyes and yawning, Sakura made her way into the kitchen, the smell of bacon greeting her nostrils. She figured Hinata had woken up early and was cooking them breakfast, but when she entered the kitchen she was greeting with a different sight than she expected. Ino and Mikoto were in the kitchen and talking softly, so low that Sakura couldn't catch many words.
"How did you two get in the house?" Sakura asked loudly, both of the guests jumping and turning to look at her.
Mikoto fished through one of her pockets then dangled a set of keys in the air for her daughter-in-law to see. "Oh."
"Sasuke gave them to me before he left," she said with a smile playing across her face.
Ino grinned at the pink-haired woman when she looked over. The blond was standing in front of the stove, spatula in hand.
A lopsided smile grew on Sakura's face. "Cooking me breakfast?"
"Well, not only you, Miss Selfish. I'm also cooking for Hinata, Mikoto and myself."
"You might need more bacon. I am eating for three."
Ino practically choked on air, blue eyes growing wide. It was only a second before she screeched, "You're having twins? You didn't tell me that yesterday!" The mother-to-be giggled lightheartedly and placed a hand on her stomach, emerald orbs drifting to the rounded area.
"I'm sorry," she whispered. "It must have slipped my mind."
Ino raised her light-colored eyebrows and waving the cooking utensil around frantically. "No wonder why you're so fat!" After saying that she knew she was doomed. Sakura's face was turned red, that definitely wasn't good. "Umm...I am going to get more bacon and cook it for you and your little angels, Sakura," Ino said nervously, cautiously making her way towards the fridge to get more bacon.
One eye twitching, Sakura spat, "That's a very good idea."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Once again, the three shinobi ran into the group of 'teenagers'. This time, Kumiko had a very determined facial expression on as he confronted the three. "I want to join you in your search," he demanded, sounding and seeming sincere. The three men glanced at each other, uncertain of what to think about this man. They had no idea who he was, but he sounded like he truly wanted to help. "And also, I saw another child get kidnapped only about an hour ago. I've been looking for you three to tell you. I want to help you catch these people."
Without having to discuss it, the three nodded. They needed the extra help, and also they needed to know where the male had seen the kidnapping. If they didn't agree to let him help, he might refuse to tell them any information and go off by himself and attempt to catch the people. His group of friends was apparently automatically in on it too now that he was.
"I'll show you," Kumiko said, motioning for the three to follow him. Itachi and Sasuke glanced at each other, their movements holding a bit of hesitation to follow. Shikamaru, on the other hand, just started following without as much as a glance at his comrades.
The further they were led by this strange male, the more uneasy the Uchiha grew, and Shikamaru also glanced back at the few a couple of times as if he also felt as if something was wrong.
They ended up a small ways into a forest, in a clearing. Kumiko and his group stopped and turned to face the three, his face still serious. The leaf ninja froze. "I have something to tell you," he started, a sly grin spreading across his face. Sasuke and Itachi activated their Sharingan as the feeling of unease hit an all-time high on their mission. "I am the one kidnapping the kids and these are my helpers."
Just as a large net was about to encircle the three, they leapt out of the way and it fell to the ground, useless. "I knew something wasn't right about you," Sasuke hissed as Kumiko beared down on him, kunai to kunai. With a thrust, Sasuke sent him flying backwards and he landed on the ground. "And if that is the extent of your strength, then you don't have a chance against us."
Tsuki dropped into a fighting stance and snapped, "We outnumber you, pretty boy."
Itachi and Sasuke stood side by side, expressions hard and icy. "Apparently you don't know who we are just yet," Sasuke spat. That's when the group then noticed their eyes.
"Y-You're..." Yoko stammered.
"Members of the Uchiha Clan," Arata finished for her. He backed away a few steps.
Itachi turned to Sasuke. "We can't let them get away, no matter what." With a firm nod, Sasuke rushed at the two and pinned both Arata and Yoko to a tree at the same time, hands at their throats.
"Tell me where the kids are being held at," he demanded to know as Itachi kept the other three from the group away from him. Arata managed to shake his head and this caused Sasuke's grip to tighten. Their faces started to turn an unsightly shade of blue and Yoko finally nodded slightly and Sasuke loosened his grasp to let her speak.
"Five miles into the woods," she breathed, gasping for air. "In a large wooden building. We disguise it as an orphanage and use genjutsu when people arrive there to mask the children's true identities." Once she was done speaking Sasuke locked his grasp tightly on her neck again and deprived them of air until they passed out, then let them drop to the ground.
Shikamaru smirked and commented, "Now we're even. How do you feel about that?" Kumiko showed no fear, but his only two partners in crime looked terrified.
Seconds later, fists were flying. Kumiko had attacked Shikamaru and was now throwing kicks and punches at him but the man was dodging them easily. He caught one of Kumiko's fists then the other, but didn't realize quick enough what the man was trying to do. Kumiko's foot slammed into the prodigy's stomach and forced him to the ground. He raised his foot and stomped on the man and Shikamaru could hear a rib crack.
Itachi jumped into the fight and punched Kumiko in the side of the head, sending him into a tree. Ryouta and Tsuki gained enough courage to help and face the ninja. Tsuki grabbed Sasuke by his arms from behind while he was distracted with punching Ryouta and held him there. Ryouta pulled his fist back and nailed the raven-haired man in the stomach. The pain was not too bad, but it still hurt quite a bit. Sasuke still managed to kick his foot straight up and got his nose in just the right spot, breaking the cartilage in the black-haired enemy's nose.
Wailing in pain, Ryouta fell backwards onto the ground, both hands clutching at his broken facial feature. Tsuki, alarmed, rushed over to him. Sasuke took that time to knock her out by hitting her in the back of the head.
Kumiko, recovering hastily, bravely faced the three men that were closing in on him.
"You're too cocky," Shikamaru said flatly, using his shadow possession jutsu. Kumiko snarled and tried to fight against the jutsu, but it was too strong. "To be completely honest, this mission was a bore. I was hoping you would put up a better fight than that." The man moved a bit then winced, reaching down to clutch at his abdomen. His cracked rib was starting to bother him quite a bit, and losing his concentration, Kumiko lunged forwards and slashed out with a kunai. Shikamaru had just raised his arm in time to block his face, blood from his limb splattering on the ground.
Sasuke advanced towards Kumiko and swung his foot, aiming to kick the man in the side. Kumiko grabbed his foot and twisted it away, grabbing the man's fist as it followed.
"Forget about me?" Itachi said softly, pressing a kunai to Kumiko's neck from behind. The man slowly let go of Sasuke's fist and sighed. A second later, he elbowed Itachi in the stomach, but it proved unaffective, because the man hit him in the back of the head and the brown-haired rogue ninja dropped to the ground.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Worn out, the three men entered the gates of Konoha and let Shikamaru take the mission report to Tsunade. Neither of the male Uchiha would admit it out loud, but they missed their wives so much, almost to the extent that it hurt. They found themselves more emotional lately than usual, maybe because their wives also were. When they had returned the children to their villages they had seen the looks on the parents' faces and felt happiness swell in their chests. They would both be parents soon, and having that feeling of a life you created being with you in the world was just a joy.
As they neared Sasuke and Sakura's house they heard a large crash come from inside and screaming that sounded like Sakura's voice. Sasuke, in worry, flung the door open, but his wife was in the kitchen.
"I know I'm fat!" she wailed, fists clenched. Kakashi was attempting to hide behind his wife so that Sakura couldn't kill him. "I'm freaking pregnant! Everyone just needs to shut up!"
All the eyes in the kitchen suddenly realized who was standing in the doorway. "Itachi!" Hinata squealed, running over to him as fast as she could and flinging her arms around him.
A bright smile spread across Sakura's face when she saw Sasuke. "Sasu! You're home!" She was crossed the room to hug him when he realized that she was even bigger than Hinata but not as far along as her.
"Sakura, you're bigger than Hinata," he pointed out in confusion. "But, you're not as far along."
The pink-haired woman froze, a blush rising to her cheeks. Her smile grew a bit larger and it didn't seem hard at all to tell him now that the time had come. "Sasuke, we're going to have twins."
Oh...what will Sasuke think? XD CLIFFHANGER! Sorry about that. Please review! Thanks!
