Chapter 6: I Belong to You

((Katsu POV))

"What?" Katsu whispered quietly.

"You're pregnant," Keitaro repeated again, slowly, he still couldn't believe it.

There was a long silence, then she sighed. "I know..." She looked up and met his eyes. As she looked his eyes became wider, if that was even possible. "I wasn't totally sure, but I think I knew deep down. How far along am I?"

"A little over 3 months," he answered, trying to recover from the shock. The child couldn't be Itachi's, she had been gone for a year after all. No, this was someone in Konoha's child. "Who's the father, Kuro-chan?" He asked her carefully.

She stared at him for what seemed like forever, somewhat reluctant to tell him. Finally she gave in with a nother deep sigh. "Uchiha Sasuke."

"What?" Keitaro couldn't believe what he was hearing. Uchiha Sasuke. Itachi's little brother. This was bad. "He is going to KILL you when he finds out Kuro-chan. He won't like this one bit."

Katsu nodded knowingly, remaining silent. She leaned forward and touched her head to his shoulder, tears unwillingly flowing forth and soft sobs escaping her lips. She didn't know if she was crying because of how Itachi would react, or because of the baby inside of her, or even because she had left Konoha and Sasuke behind. She just cried. Maybe it was all of the above. She felt Keitaro's arms wrap themselves around her, comforting her, gently running his fingers through her hair. He had never seen her cry before.

"Kuro-chan, there is one more thing..." He hesitated for a second. "You're carrying twins."

God, what was she going to do...

(Sasuke POV)

They had been moving nonstop for quite some time now, he could see his team starting to get slower and obviously exhausted from the running. He guessed it was about time to take a break, it was starting to get dark now and they should set up camp for the night. It wouldn't do to meet Akatsuki members with an exhausted team.

"We're making camp for tonight Sakura," he said into the microphone that was attached to his neck. It didn't take long before he got an answer.

"Alright Sasuke. We'll keep going a little further and make camp as well." she informed him. The other team was a little behind them and probably had a little more energy left then them.

"Understood," he confirmed and slowed his pace, making a complet stop at a sutiable location. The rest of the team followed his lead and stopped as well. He turned to face them, his breath a little heavy from the long run. "We'll make camp her for tonight and continue early tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded and quickly went about to set up camp. It didn't take long, they were all used to it and none of them were beginners to this kind of thing.

Sasuke took the first watch and let his team rest. He sat by the fire he had got set up and looked up at the sky that was fulled with thousands of stars now. Why was this happening to him? He had been so happy. Why was he being punished every time he found a little happiness? He gave a deep sigh and turned his gaze to the forest around him.

"Where is Katsu-chan, Sasuke?"

He didn't bother turn around, he knew it was Naruto who had spoken, he could recognize that voice anywhere. Naruto sat down beside him, gazing off into the darkness.

He didn't answer Naruto's question, he honestly didn't know how to answer it. What was he supposed to sat? That she was a blood thirsty, cold blooded killer just like his brother, and a member of Akatsuki? It pained him to even just think about it, but he had to stay strong and not lose face. He knew she loved him, he had felt it. A year of happiness couldn't change it, it couldn't have been all an act. Katsu had said it herself, she didn't have any of her memories when they first had started dating. It wasn't an act, she had loved him. Which meant there was a high possibility she still did.

He didn't know if he could forgive her though, not yet at least. He felt betrayed by her, more than he had felt betrayed by his brother. But, only time could tell, he just knew he needed to get her back.

"Sasuke, please," Naruto begged. "I know there is something else to this mission. Katsu is always by your side. Where is she?" He sounded suprisingly serious and worried.

"She is gone Naruto," Sasuke finally managed to say, his voice clearly betraying his feelings of hurt and pain.

"Where?"

"She took the scroll, she is with Akatsuki, with my brother." It felt even worse to say it out loud, he felt as if he wanted to cry. He hid his face from his friend, knowing his feelings were clearly displayed on it. He hadn't cried yet, but his will power was starting to drain.

There was a long silence. Then Naruto spoke again. "She finally got her memory back, huh..." Naruto said, it wasn't really a question, more a statement. He knew it was true, so there was no need to answer him. "I don't know the whole story," Naruto continued carefully. "But I know Katsu-chan isn't evil, she can't be. A persons personality doesn't just change when someone loses their memory, the heart doesn't change."

"I know Naruto." Sasuke finally faced Naruto. "That's why we are bringing her back with us."

"That bastard Itachi!" Naruto growled. "What does he think he is doing taking Katsu-chan away from us, it's not fair."

[Naruto Flashback]

"Naruto-kun!"

Naruto turned to face the smiling girl as she closed in on him. "Katsu-chan!" He greeted her with a huge smile of his own.

"I heard it was Hinata-san's birthday today, have you picked out a gift yet?" She asked him eagerly.

"I was on my way to buy a gift right now…" He said, a little puzzled by her eager attitude, she was almost jumping up and down.

"Come with me!" She said as she grabbed his hand and dragged him with her before he could even answer. She made him run after her for a little while and then stopped in front of one of the tables in the marketplace. "Look" She grinned as she pointed at one of the necklaces laying on the table.

Naruto stared at the necklace. It had a silver chain and on the end was a beautiful carved sun out of silver with yellow and red stones in it, making him feel like it radiated of warmth like the real sun. It was beautiful, breath-taking really. "Katsu-chan! Hinata will love this!" He gave her a quick hug and then purchased the necklace without a hesitation.

"Anything for Hinata-san." Katsu grinned back at him.

[/Naruto Flashback]

"I swear I'll kill him for this!" Sasuke said coldly.

((Katsu POV))

She couldn't keep the pregnancy a secret forever, Itachi would notice sooner or later, she had allready started putting on some weight. Twins. She was having twins. She couldn't believe it. She pulled her feet up against her stomach, leaning her chin on her knees as she sat on the bed.

Keitaro had left her alone to think and figure things out. Now she just sat there, her tears were dried out. She had no idea how she would break it to Itachi. He would be severly pissed of, there was no doubt about that. She doubted he would kill her though, she doubted he ever could take her life. But, having his girlfriend pregnant with his little brothers twins was too much, she guessed. She had to tell him sooner or later, and sooner would probably be for the best.

She pushed herself off the bed and walked out of the room and into the living room where the three other men were gathered by the table having a meeting. She had changed her clothes earlier and was now wearing her usual clothing; a black skirt with splits on both sides, fishnet stockings that went to her knees the only thing that concealed her tanned skin, a black top that showed of her flat stomach, and a pair of standard sandals on her feet. Her long hair she had tied up into a high ponytail and all the scars that had been on her body was now gone, thanks to Keitaro.

"Hey fishface," she grinned as she spotted Kisame. "Long time no see."

"Kuro-chan," he returned her grin with a sharky smile. "Good to have you back with us."

She had been calling him fishface for as long as she could remember, it didn't seem to bother the large man that much. Kisame was really like a father to her, rather overprotective, but with a sometimes very entertaining sense of humor, however perverted it might be at times.

"Kei-chan..." She looked over at her friend, who gave her a swift nod in return.

"Come on Kisame-san." Keitaro turned his gaze to Kisame and stood up. "I need some help to practice a new jutsu."

"What?" Kisame said, annoyance plain in his voice. "Practice the damn jutsu by yourself. I have no wish to get paralyzed again with one of your damn jutsu's!"

"Alright then," Keitaro turned away and head towards the door. "The next time you have a bloody wound I'm not going to heal it for you, you can die for all I care." He said over his shoulder.

"W-wait you bastard!" Kisame yelled angrily. "What do you mean by that?" He stood up and hurried after Keitaro, flinging curse words in every direction.

When Kisame was finally out of hearing range Katsu moved to sit down beside Itachi. She slowly sipped the tea that Keitaro had made for her, it felt good. She knew he had probably put something in it that would be good for the babies in her womb.

"Itachi," she finally said, looking up at him. She never used his whole name unless she was being serious about something. "I've got something I need to tell you"

She gave a sudden quiet yelp as Itachi picked her up and put her down on his lap, facing him. "Can't it wait," he murmured as his lips trailed along her neck. She couldn't help but tilt her head to the side with a soft moan, he knew exactly what she liked.

Determined to tell him she snapped out of it and with a soft push of his upper body she got him to stop. "No!" She said stubbornly, recovering from the moment of weakness.

Itachi let out a groan. She knew he hadn't seen her in a year and was probably going through a pretty bad withrawal right about now, but she didn't care, this was important. Besides, he was probably not going to be in much of a mood after what she had to tell him.

"I don't know how to tell you this," she hesitated for a second, biting her lower lip. "I'm just going to come out and say it.. Itachi, I'm pregnant."

She watched anxiously as his face darkened, his dark eyes seemed to become more dangerous as he took in what she had said. Itachi wasn't much of a man to show emotions, he usually never lost control, but she knew he was about to do just that.

She felt a sharp sting on her cheek where his hand had made contact. He hit her so hard that she flew across the room, hitting the wall on the other side with a crash. Shielding her stomach from hitting anything, her back got all the damage. She coughed involunterily in pain and pushed herself back on her feet stubbornly.

"It's his isn't it?" Itachi demanded as he stood over her, his voice came out as a sneer.

"Yes," she answered, managing to hide the pain she felt. There was no use denying it. She couldn't afford showing any sign of weakness, so her voice was strong and her face hard. This was the only method she could use to subdue his anger, ti would only get worse if she showed any sign of weakness.

"I didn't mean for it to happen Itachi," she said calmly. "If you remember correctly you sent me into Konoha with no memories. I couldn't remember you or anyone else. You made sure of that when you preformed that jutsu on me!"

"Are you saying that this is my fault," he sneered angrily, but didn't make a move to hit her again. She knew he was calming down a little.

"No, that's not what I meant," she countered. "I'm saying that it wasn't planned and that I actually did fall for your brother. But I left them for you, because my loyalty belong to Akatsuki and you!" Her hands moved to wrap themselves around his neck, her fingers wrapping themselves in his black hair. "I'm yours. I've been yours since the day you saved me, I'll always be yours."

She pulled him down and touched her lips to his. There was no resistance on his part and she knew she had managed to calm him down. The danger was over. She was being honest, she did love him. He was her saviour.

He lifted her up in his strong arms without breaking the kiss and headed for the bedroom, they hadn't seen each other in a long time after all. She knew the kiss had triggered his arousal.

Later that night Katsu lay sideways on the bed, her hand stroked Itachi's naked chest as he lay beside her. She looked at him, while his eyes were fixed on the ceiling, obviously thinking about something.

"They'll be coming after us," she told him, breaking the silence. "We need to get moving. They'll either want to kill me or bring me back with them along with the scrolls. I won't be able to do any missions for a couple of months..."

A "Hn" was all she got from him. It was the usual respons she got from him when he didn't feel like saying much. But she knew he understood that they had to do something about it.

She sighed and pushed herself off the bed. Her slim, curved body was comepletely nakes, but she wasn't very shy about her body, it was just natural for her. She made her way to the closet and opened it. There was nothing in there. With some simple hand signs an extra compartment appeared out of nowhere. She opened it and found all her personal belongings and clothes inside it. She was the only one who knew how to open it, she didn't trust anyone with her stuff, not even her friends.

She got her ring out and put it on her right middle finger, it was the white tiger, her Akatsuki ring. She got her forehead protector out and put it on the table beside her; it had a star carved into it, with a line scratched through it like everyone else in the group.

Studying the forehead protector the memories of the day she had killed the clan came back. It was still a painful memory, it still poisoned her soul, but she bore it as punishment for what she did.

Feeling two hands wrapping themselves around her from behing, stroking her, she shiver in delight. She let him push her around to face him. He was just as naked as she was and she could feel his erection against her tigh. Itachi was maybe a cold emotionless man normally, but not in the bedroom.

She let him capture her lips in a long demanding kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth with greed. Her breathing got heavier, she felt the warmth rise in her body as he broke the kiss and put his lips to her ease he lifted her up and pushed her up against the wall.

As his erection entered her a moan escaped her lips. He went slow at first, but soon started thrusting faster and harder. Her hands were wrapped around his torso, her nails digging into his back as a shock of pleasure surged through her body. She heard him groan in pleasure as he came inside of her. Panting they just stood like that for a while, saviouring the feeling.

"They've picked up our trail," Katsu finally managed to say, her breath still heavy. "They''ll be here in a day." She looked up at him, concern plainly shown on her face. She couldn't face them yet, she needed more time.

"I love you," she whispered in his ear, and he answered her by drawing her into a passionate kiss.
