Episode 12:

"Revelation"

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto… well except for the set of Team 7 plushies but… well that will be our little secret.

Sasuke was sitting at the head of a modestly sized table when Naru entered the room from a doorway opposite from where he sat. The raven haired Genin stared in shock at her appearance. Instead of her usual attire the blonde girl was wearing a sleeveless white dress with pale blue flowers seemingly randomly placed across the fabric and her hitai-ate was nowhere to be seen.

Naru stood in the doorway her eyes focused on the ground though every once and a while they would flick up and glance at Sasuke before quickly darting back. "Ummm…" she said after standing there for a moment. Sasuke shut his eyes and sighed before shaking his head. "Stop standing there like an idiot and come sit down. The food is getting cold" he said in response.

For once Naru didn't react to his insult; she simply nodded and padded over to the table her bare feet barely making a sound. The blonde girl took the seat opposite of Sasuke's and sat down. She looked down at the table and smiled when she saw the bowl of ramen sitting before her. She looked up with the smile still on her face. "Thanks Sasuke" she said softly.

Sasuke returned her smile and nearly burst into laughter when he saw her shocked expression. "What?" he asked with a barely restrained chuckle. The blonde was flushed with embarrassment although her shocked expression didn't waiver. "Well you're smiling. You never smile!" she said with a hint of awe coloring her voice.

The raven haired youth snorted in response. "Just because I don't smile at you doesn't mean I don't smile" he said. Getting no response from the girl Sasuke picked up a pair of chopsticks near his bowl of ramen. "Itadakimasu" he said and began to eat. The blonde gaped at him for a moment before picking up her own chopsticks and following suit.

The pair spent the next little while enjoying their meal in silence. Although all good things must come to an end. At least that was Naru's train of thought as she stared forlornly at her now empty bowl. "You really should see yourself right now. You're staring at that bowl as if someone just killed your puppy" said Sasuke to break the silence. Naru looked up at him, her eyes suspiciously moist. The other Genin gave her a blank stare. "I swear upon the name Uchiha if you cry because the ramen is gone I will kill you" he said.

"I'm not going to cry!" the girl said with a sniffle. Sasuke could only shake his head in response. The young Genin stood up from his seat and gathered up both his and Naru's bowls before walking over to the sink and depositing them there. He walked back over to the table and stood beside Naru. "Follow me to the sitting room. I think we should have a little chat" he said.

Sasuke didn't wait for a response he simply turned away and headed out of the room. Naru stared at him as he walked out of the room. Realizing that she should follow the blonde girl quickly stood and chased after him a look of apprehension adorning her face. Naru caught up with him fairly quickly and continued to follow him until they reached a large room with multiple couches and tables as well as various armchairs where people could sit and relax.

Sasuke walked over to a cream colored couch and sat down. He gave Naru a small smirk and patted the seat beside him. The blonde looked slightly alarmed but she didn't want to insult Sasuke when he was being so nice to her. So with a mumbled curse Naru walked over and sat beside her teammate. "Heh… so what did you want to talk about Sasuke?" asked the girl nervously.

Sasuke right eyebrow rose slightly "Why don't we start with why you tried to kill our newest teammate? But I must say that my favorite one is Why do you occasionally mumble Mizuki's name in your sleep? Hell you even shout it when you wake up from a nightmare." The raven haired boy noted the look of alarm that flashed across the blonde's face.

"I didn't mean to try and kill Hanabi. I just… I don't know… lost control" she said while completely ignoring his second question. Sasuke shut his eyes and sighed in response. "Let me be honest Naru. I don't care about the Hyuga as long as she lives long enough for us to get through the exams I'll be happy" he said.

Sasuke completely ignored Naru's shocked expression and continued on speaking. "The thing I really want to know is how you went from being the dead last at the academy to being able to take down a Jonin. Sure I know about the Kyubi now but that never helped you in the past. I think it's something else. I think something happened to you that has allowed you to use the Kyubi's power and I know that Mizuki is involved somehow" he finished.

By the time he was done speaking Naru was shivering and tears were trickling down her face. "Sasuke I… Please just leave it alone Sasuke" she said, her voice thick with emotion. Sasuke frowned at her response. "Look we're teammates aren't we? You can trust me Naru. I won't tell anyone" he said. The blonde shook her head back and forth. "I...I… d…d…don't w…want to r…r...remember" she stuttered out with a suppressed sob.

Naru stood abruptly and turned to run off when she was stopped by tug on her arm. Panic filled blue eyes turned back to see Sasuke standing with his hand clamped firmly around her wrist. "Let go!" she said as she tried to pull away. Sasuke shook his head and held firm. "You may be an idiot but you're still my teammate Naru. Now stop trying to run away and tell me what happened!" he finished with a shout.

Naru's legs gave out from under her and she slumped to the ground. She looked up at Sasuke for second before her head dropped, her gaze settling on the wooden floor beneath her. "He raped me" she whispered. As soon as the words left her mouth Sasuke let go of her wrist. He stumbled backwards until he was stopped by the couch. The raven haired boy fell back and ended up sitting once again. "What did you just say?" he asked in disbelief.

"He raped me!" she shouted before sobbing hysterically.

When Sasuke had decided to confront Naru about Mizuki and his connection to her ability to call forth the Kyubi's power he thought that it had something to do with the scroll that his former teacher attempted to steal on the night that he betrayed the village. He never expected that the truth would be so much more horrible.

Sasuke didn't know how long he sat there listening to Naru's cries as they echoed throughout the room. He tried to ignore them, hoping that she would stop soon. That she would collect herself and return to the cheerful person she always seemed to be. The raven haired youth gritted his teeth and tried to shut out the sound. The pitiful cries were tugging at a part of him that he didn't think still existed.

After an indeterminate amount of time he finally gave up. He couldn't just sit there any longer as his blonde haired teammate fell apart. Sasuke took a deep breath and stood, determination shining in his eyes. He walked over to Naru who was now curled up on the floor, sobs still emanating from her shivering form. Kneeling before her Sasuke reached out and placed a hand gently on her shoulder. "Naru it's going to be ok. Mizuki is gone and won't be able to hurt you again" he said as softly as he could.

Naru looked up at him silently with bloodshot eyes. They stayed like that for a moment just staring at each other before Naru all of a sudden launched herself at Sasuke. The raven haired boy wasn't expecting to be tackled and so was knocked back. He landed with an "Oomph!" as Naru wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his shirt.

Sasuke wrapped his arms around her. "He won't ever get near you again, I promise" he whispered in her ear. The girl turned her head to the side and rested her cheek against his chest. "It hurt Sasuke. It hurt so badly and I didn't know what to do" she said sadly. "Why didn't you tell anyone Naru?" he asked.

"I was confused. I grew up as an orphan and I barely knew anything about sex or physical intimacy. Hell I never even heard of rape until after it happened. I spoke to Dr. Sawase about it and she asked if I had been forced but I told her no. I thought because I never told M…M…Mizuki-sensei no that it was my fault" she said quietly.

"That isn't true Naru you're just a kid he was an adult. Even if you didn't say no he never should have touched you" he responded. "Heh… Yeah I know that now, trust me. During the month that I was on medical suspension I had a lot of time to think and read as well. I couldn't get what he did out of my mind. I would have nightmares of him hovering over me, of being inside me…" she trailed off as she pushed off of Sasuke and sat back on the ground with her legs crossed.

"It was through reading a book that I found out what being forced was called. Rape… such a small word but it comes with so much pain. I said it hurt Sasuke and it did but the physical pain faded soon enough. The emotional pain though… I wanted to forget Sasuke but no matter what I did it would always come back in my nightmares" Naru allowed herself a couple of deep breaths before continuing.

"That's how it can take a hold of me. The Kyubi is always there waiting to overwhelm me in a moment of weakness. It sends me nightmares and flashes of memory when it knows I'll have a hard time blocking it out. You saw it for yourself. When Sakura died I was in so much pain. She was the first girl to show me any kindness after what Mizuki did even if she never knew the truth of what happened. And I latched onto that like a lifeline." she let out a sigh and took a moment to collect herself.

"When she was killed I was so angry. I wanted to tear Zabuza a part limb from limb. So I gave in. I knew what it would mean but I didn't care. I willingly accepted that monster's power… and I enjoyed it. It's nearly indescribable Sasuke. It's as if your body is humming with pure energy" the girl looked away for a moment her cheeks darkening in a blush.

"I thought it would hurt but it's the opposite it's pure unfiltered pleasure. And that's the real problem" she finished with a sigh. "What do you mean that's the real problem?" asked a rather confused Sasuke. "Well it's addicting. You're a guy, how did you react when you realized that the greatest cure for boredom is in your pants?" she asked shamelessly. Sasuke actually blushed at that and looked away.

"It's getting easier too. The more I use the Kyubi's power the easier it is for me to draw on it. What happened today was an accident. I let my fear take over and allowed that power to flood my system. It overwhelmed my ability to think, to reason. I didn't see a little girl or even my new teammate. I saw an enemy… and enemy that I wanted to kill. Especially because of…" the blonde shut her eyes tightly and bit her lip to keep herself from continuing.

Sasuke looked at her suspiciously. "Because of what?" he asked. The blonde just shook her head in response, refusing to answer. Sasuke reached forward and rapped his knuckles gently across the girl's head. "Don't freeze up on me now Blondie. You've told me everything else so far" he said forcefully. Sasuke winced when he saw how Naru flinched when he spoke. "Look it's ok, you can trust me Naru" he said in a softer tone.

"She… she tried to hit my stomach" she responded before trailing off. Sasuke looked at her confusedly. "Why would it matter if she hit you in the stomach or not" he asked in his confusion. Naru sighed, her gazing falling to the floor as she brought her right hand up and placed it gently against her stomach. Bright blue eyes looked up from the ground and caught Sasuke's gaze.

"Because I'm pregnant" she said.

A/N: Now it's official… yes I am crazy! But no there won't be a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter. And no I'm not pulling a fast one on you Naru is really pregnant. Before anyone goes off and says that she's too young I would like to make you aware that the youngest recorded pregnancy was in a 5 year old girl. Google it! As always thank you for reading and please review!
