Sarah PoV
I moved my head from side to side, missing Orochimaru greatly. I could feel the Totsuka blade burning on my right hand, but I made no move to stop it. Strangely, he didn't talk to me like he had come to whenever I was missing him. Perhaps he was too enthralled with who else was in the blade. I felt a hand on my forehead, then my gut, and could have sworn it was Orochimaru's.
I awoke with a jolt as I realized the events that had transpired before I'd fainted. Yes, I admit it – I fainted. Orochimaru was that epic and sexy, and oh my gosh he was alive and out of the Totsuka blade. I jerked upright, completely naked, and looked around me in shock. I was in Otogakure, back in my bedroom, and no signs of Kabuto anywhere. I sighed depressed, and I heard him chuckling to my left.
"You're back!" I cried excitedly as I tore my panties off – literally.
"Careful, pet," he chuckled as I went to rape him. He held me up, his tongue venturing to the nape of my neck. "I love you, but let's have a little more decency than that. We wouldn't want to corrupt the children, ne?"
I looked around to find that our children had all camped out on our floor in various locations, and were now waking up from their slumber at my loud outburst. Thank heavens Orochi and I were now under the blankets. (How did he do that?)
"Mommy's awake!" Akuma cried as he raced up to the bed.
"You'll have to wait a little longer, Akuma," Orochimaru laughed. "Hold on, dearest, I'll get you some clothes."
"Purple!" I called out, and he laughed as he fished around in the closet. "Play clothes, preferably!"
"Mmn, in a destructive mood today?" he asked as he brought back the necessary four articles of clothing I needed. I grinned and ducked under the covers to dress.
"Sort of," I answered vaguely as I managed to clasp my bra.
"Mommy, mommy, play! Play!" Akuma cried out as he tried to lift the covers. Thankfully, Orochimaru leaned over him and put his hands on his wrists.
"When mommy's ready, okay, Akuma? I promise," I said firmly as I got my shirt on at last. I was at least able to breathe a little easier since I was halfway covered, but struggled to put my underwear on for some strange reason. I looked down to find that I was trying to put it on backwards.
"Aren't you done yet?" Kabuto glared at me inside the blade. He still wasn't happy about that at all, but I wasn't about to let him out for fear of his treachery a second time. He may have masked it as helping Orochimaru, but I knew his real reason – he wanted Orochi's powers.
"Just a little longer," I grunted as I struggled to pull my pants over my hips. I yanked a few more times, then huffed as I looked at Orochimaru, who just laughed.
"I won't deny, you've been looking a little fatter lately," he said warily. We gasped, and realized what we were both saying. My hips were wider, and I'd gained weight.
"Could I – could we have-?" I stuttered, and he furrowed his brow. I was worried and excited, but still worried over my own health.
"Yes," he realized. "That night we sang Fix You and Buy Me a Rose together."
"Oh my gosh – another? Oh," I murmured as I put my hands tenderly on my stomach. "Oh."
"Well done," Orochimaru purred as he pulled Akuma and Kurama onto our bed. He then lifted Tenshi and Kiseki onto the bed, and I flinched worried. "You've given me four wonderful children – do you want to ET again with a surrogate, or carry?"
"I think I want to carry," I said patting it gently. "You never know when the surrogate will kill the child just because it's not theirs."
"I'm thinking of making the Caduceus our clan's symbol with white snakes wrapped around a black pole," Orochimaru said thoughtfully.
"Well, I wouldn't mind being intertwined around a pole as long as that pole represents our love," I told him. "And the wings represent our soaring to new medical heights."
"So, you're saying that the two of us are the snakes of a caduceus? How interesting," he smiled before kissing me.
"I'd intwine in love's duet if the kids weren't here," I told him, and he laughed.
"Flirting, ne? Two can play at that game you wonderful egg-bearing specimen with perfect movements during that season," he retorted just as heartily. "Kids, mommy and daddy need to have some adult time for adult things. Go back to the playroom – we'll play with you later in the day."
"Play! Play!" Akuma whined, and I pulled him closer to me.
"Akuma, can you be mommy's big helpers and watch over your little sisters for me, please? You're so big and strong for your age, and I just don't think that the Sound Five can do it on their own. Besides, all good ninja help their mommies and daddies when they're young," I told him, and he nodded eagerly.
"Okay, mommy! I'll be a great ninja like you and daddy when I grow up!" he said eagerly before racing out of the bedroom.
"You never cease to amaze me with how gifted you are with children," Orochimaru chuckled before shutting and locking the door. "Now, if I recall correctly, we were…"
"About to have some mommy-daddy time to talk about the kids," I said testily.
"I was thinking about a little - music introductions. Surely theres a song that accompanies a horror novel," he deduced, and I grinned and pulled out my IPod.
"Just a minute," I told him as I hunted for my Phantom of the Opera playlist. "the movie is called Phantom of the Opera. It's by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and his music is just effing epic. I have yet to hear a bad Andrew Lloyd Webber song. The sequel play is called Love Never Dies and it's where the group meets back up after ten years in the states on Coney Island, a freak show island."
"And what song will you be gracing me with?" he asked, honestly curious. "Surely something with screaming, yes?"
"You'll see," I told him as I hunted through the songs. "Now, do you want a duet for us to practice together, or screaming?"
"Duet," he said warily. "But I also want screaming."
"I think I can manage both, but there's another song I want to show you first," I told him as I pulled up Phantom of the Opera and put the ear-buds in his ears. "Tell me if it's too loud for you. If you don't like it, then make your pick. I've got literally thousands of songs on here."
"Please tell me you got most of them illegally," he pled as he listened, his eyes narrowing.
"Possibly," I hinted, and he smiled widely, and I could have sworn I saw his chest puff up in either pride or disappointment. "Hey, Orochi, have you ever been proud of me for anything?"
"Every minute of every day," he told me, bringing his arms around my waist. "I'm proud of you for every second of every minute, and more so for your amazing feats during the war."
"Really?" I asked, not believing him. He'd lied to me before to help me feel better about myself, and this felt different.
"Really and truly," he confirmed, emphasizing his words with the looks in his eyes that spoke a clear message that rang with truth, conviction, and love.
"So, given no distractions from the kids," I hinted fingering my way up his chest, and he laughed.
"What are you thinking, I wonder," he teased.
"How to best launch a sexual assault on you," I laughed sheepishly.
"Then by all means, you're welcome to try," he offered, and I grinned in mirth.
"You shouldn't have done that," I warned right as Tayuya knocked on the door in panic.
"Oh, dear," he grinned. "Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"
"Possible intruder, possible new medic," I rattled as I went to the door. "Possible Tsunade or worse… I vote we stay here."
"Sarah-sama," Tayuya panted, having caught her breath somewhat. "The Hokage wants to see you, and she said something about the Totsuka blade…"
"I'll be back," I promised looking over my shoulder to a frowning Orochimaru who looked pissed. I sighed and followed Tayuya all the way to the living room, where Tsunade was waiting.
"So, is what Naruto told me true?" she asked after I led her into a side bedroom for privacy. "He said you sealed Kabuto inside the blade in order to reunite the two halves of Orochimaru. He mentioned you sealed someone else inside the Totsuka blade to get Orochimaru back. is this true?"
"He's in the bedroom really pissed of that someone didn't keep their word, no doubt," I retorted smiling. "You should see him – he looks freaking sexier now than he did then, and I didn't think that possible."
"I hope you had fun, because I forced that little brat to give up custody of the guide to the blade-wielder," Kabuto sneered, and I let out a silent scream of panick. That wasn't supposed to happen – I had to seal him deeper in the blade, but how?
With a snap of his fingers, Kabuto not only turned up the heat, but somehow wrapped a cocoon around me and trapped me in my own bedroom probably permanently. I knew how to get him to stop – I killed off two rogue ninja inside the blade to seal Kabuto a further level in, putting the fourteen-year-old back in the position as guide, but it was too late. my body was now overheated and exhausted, and I had no idea how long I'd been unconscious or when – or if – I'd wake up again.
"Help!" I wanted to scream. "Orochimaru, Kabuto's still trying to kill us! Help me get him out so we can kill him!" Sadly, I couldn't because I was asleep and had nowhere else to go with my mind.
Orochi PoV
I raced through the hideout searching desperately for a thermometer. This was extremely unlike Kabuto, who liked so much to have organization with his medical tools. Finally, after much deliberation, I instead found Tsunade, who raced at my heels back to my bedroom to find Sarah wrapped into the blankets like a caterpillar in a cocoon but was writhing to get free, screaming and moaning hysterically.
"Shh, love, I'm here," I soothed as Tsunade's eyes widened.
"We've got to get her in ice," Tsunade said quickly I had to get her in cold water as soon as I could before she burned up. I tried unwrapping her from the blankets, but it didn't work, so I carried them around her and raced her to the bathroom as quickly as I could.
I'd raced past Tayuya on my way, who sensed the emergency in getting a large tub of ice for Sarah's ice-cold bath. Sarah's moans of pain and her temperature dropped dramatically as I put her in the cold bath with the blanket around her. the blanket created a layer of fat, in a way, to keep the cold air and water in. as Tayuya raced in with the ice, I dumped it on top of the blanket while she backed off to watch with worry.
After about twenty minutes, Sarah's temperature finally reached safe and normal levels, but was now getting a little too cold, so I pulled her out of the ice-cold water. Truth be told, she'd have gotten hypothermia if her fever hadn't been there because I'd made the water so cold. If I hadn't been there to catch her, she'd have died, and we both knew it. I knew that it had something to do with the Totsuka blade, and my mind automatically snapped to Kabuto.
"Kabuto," she moaned, "Stay away. Leave me alone…bastard medic. Orochimaru's perfect. You horrible…"
"I knew it," I smiled gently as I unwrapped her from the blankets and cold wet cloth. By unrwwrapping her I was probably saving her from dehydration or polio. Tsunade cleared her throat, and I turned o her stressed. "Kabuto was hurting her through the blade."
"So, it's true," Tsunade confirmed. "I was told that she sealed him inside the blade, then let you out once your two halves reunited."
"I told them to tell no one," I growled angrily as we headed back into my room. "Who lied to me?"
"Naruto told me," she said as she put her arms in front of her. "He made sure it was in the middle of the night when we were alone. That means that the Uchiha clan knows as well, then. Relax – he only told me as an S-rank secret."
"Have you told Konoha?" I asked, hoping she'd say no.
"I told the other four Kage's in an extremely private meeting at the Gokage summit, but I told them that this was an S-rank secret that was to be between us only and my informant," she assured. "You should have seen the look on the Kazekage's face when I told them you were possibly alive – for some reason, he looked almost grateful and angry at the same time."
"I should hope that they don't tell anyone," I leered, and she shuffled her feet and smiled like she had something that she wanted to tell me but was embarrassed.
"The Daimyos made Naruto a world-wide hero," she told me, then continued before I could interrupt. "They want to make Sarah one as well, since she sealed Kabuto inside the blade and freed the two Uchihas to restore the clan. They weren't too happy about your getting out until I told them that you'd stopped attacking most of the other villages to keep her happy in marriage."
"No," I said firmly as I placed Sarah gently in bed and put a damp lukewarm rag on top of her forehead. "I'm not putting a – to take a leaf from her book – putting a target on my back. I'm not risking the mother of my children, and besides that – someone else might try to rape her simply because she's famous."
"They'll only know her name and not face, but if that's what you want. You should ask her, just out of curiosity. I brought your medic, by the way," she said gesturing towards the entrance of the hideout. I frowned. "Don't worry – I also had Kabuto's mentor teach him everything he taught Kabuto. Including how to recover body cells."
"And you're sure he won't betray me," I said warily, and she laughed.
"I'm sure. He seemed extremely interested in Kabuto's old job, and said something about wanting to know the secrets of life," she mused before shaking her head. "She's right – you haven't aged a day past twenty-five. How did you do it?"
"The Totsuka blade sealed me in where I looked like a twenty-six year old," I said grinning as I raced her out to the living room. "And even after both halves were reunited, it's how I came back out. We love it."
"I'm sure you both do," she said looking at me like I'd lost my marbles. "Anyways, pass the message along to Sarah-chan. Speaking of which, congratulations on the latest one she's carrying."
I almost face-palmed at this but refrained since I was in public halfway now. I settled for a scowl, and she laughed before racing out to go back to Konoha. I looked at my new medic – water and electric natured chakras, the perfect combination for a medic.
..(Nine months later)...
I sat out in the living room surrounded by my children. Akuma was pulling snakes around everywhere with his almost four year old hands, Tenshi was squealing and being twirled in the air by Kirari Kaguya, who was visiting. Tayuya was five months pregnant with Kimimaro's child and holding a now three year old Kiseki while Kimimaro held Kurama. My newest child, my three month old daughter was resting in my arms as a snake watched and continued coiling around me. Sarah was asleep on the couch, her left hand resting on her stomach. I gently touched her stomach, and sensed the next tiny life inside of her as another reason to let her remain asleep yet rebegin training.
"Sarah," I said, and she snapped awake. "Let's see whose are stronger – your summoning, or mine."
"You mean your new kuchiyose versus my strongest? I'm in," she grinned, and we walked out of the hideout and into the extremely large forest.
I had Absolution, she had Reshi. Knowing her, she'd have had more time to train hers stronger than mine, so I'd have to play on the defensive and use her Pokémon's weaknesses to my advantage.
"Well, should we get started?" I smirked.
"Orochimaru-kun, let's battle," she yelled, pointing at me like I saw some of the other trainers did in the game. Needless to say, I still kicked her butt, although she came quite close to beating me at one point…
