Chapter 2; Fall Back Down Again.

Faia and Kaji slept in the same bed, taking comfort in the other's presence. They never noticed the two shinobi who snuck into their room that night.

Niki walked amongst her clones as she patrolled the campsight before tuning back into the spying seal. All she could hear were several different even breaths.
They appeared to all be sleeping, but she was no fool. She knew that somewhere in her camp, her home, at least one of them was kidnapping, possibly harming, one of her children.

She'd tried for several hours now to come up with a solution, but she was no strategist. Only one thing came to mind and she wanted no part in it.
Her idea would be a compromise. After breaking up several fights a day at a minimum, she knew just how to compromise to make both parties happy.
Well, obviously she wouldn't be happy, but it was the best she could come up with.

She would allow one of the men to bed with her until she became pregnant. They would then allow her to start raising their next generation.
When the time came for the child to leave, she would hand them over to the father. In this way, the remnants of Iwa and Konoha would form a sort of peace.
All that she had to give up was her virginity to do it.

The sun began to rise and one by one the children headed to the dining area for breakfast. When the guests came out though, they were holding her twin girls.
"Niki-san, I believe we need to talk." Genuske said slowly, keeping one kunai at the throat of one girl at all times.
Niki took in the frightened looks of her daughters and immediatly gave them a heart warming smile.
"Don't worry Faia, Kaji." She assured them. "I made a promise to care for you all."
Turning suddenly cold eyes to Genuske, eyes that made his heart freeze in terror, she said. "I already knew of your plans. Release them for their breakfast and I will accompany whomever you choose for negotiations."

Genuske himself took her to his tent where he patiently waited for her to say what she wished. His men was watching all the kids, so one sign of trouble and their lives would be forfeit.
"Genuske, I am willing to make sacrifices for my precious people." She informed him. "At one time, those were the people of my village. Now, they are the children all currently laughing and talking at the table, eating their fill. While I am pleased that you only took two of my girls, I must say I deplor the act at all. You frightened them needlessly when all you really had to do was tell me of my position."

Genuske wasn't sure what it was, but suddenly everything about the woman in front of him changed. Where before she had seemed closed and distant, suddenly she was warm and inviting.
Her eyes opened and he couldn't help but be amazed at their sheer simplicity. Her posture was unthreatening, almost inviting. She tilted her head to one side and smiled shyly.
"I'd be willing to do anything if it were to protect my kids." She crooned, leaning close to whisper in his ear. "So how about a deal? You and me stay here for a while longer, and we do this until we're gifted with a little bundle of joy. Once the baby's old enough, you can start training him."
His member tightened rather surprisingly as her fingers brushed against his side.

"I'd say that would be a pretty nice deal." He agreed, shifting subtly closer to her warm shape. Niki leaned forward a little more and began to scootch over to his side.
Once there she began masaging his shoulders until he relaxed. When he did, Genuske reached over to her waist and began to loosen her obi.
Before long he found his armor had been discarded and Niki's kimono had been opened. Under the kimono she wore nought but a black bra and panties.

Shrugging off her kimono, Niki subtly pressed a couple pressure points on her own body. If she was going to do this, she may as well enjoy it.
Hadn't Jaraiya once said there was no greater pleasure than sex after all? Shrugging undecidedly she found she did indeed find Genuske more attractive when she was aroused.
She didn't hesitate to repeat the process on Genuske himself, making him groan in pleasure as warm sensations spread throught his body.

Genuske turned a little to the side and caught Niki's lips in a breathtaking kiss. He nibbled on her lower lip to ask for permission, and when she did not respond immediatly, he twiddled with her nipples.
Niki gasped in pleasure, allowing him to invade her mouth and begin the fight for dominance with her tongue. He came up long enough for air before he began trailing kisses down her neckline before reaching her chest.
There he began suckling her nipples, while gently pushing her down on the bed. He used his free hand to grope her firm rear and thighs.

Niki, not wishing to be outdone, began softly stroking his manhood till it stood at full erection. He murmured her name and she answered with a slight squeeze.
She ran a hand through his hair and suppressed a groan as he began tracing circles on her exposed stomach. Soon he placed his hands on her stomach and paused to look up at her.
"Move your legs apart." He ordered softly, already starting to urge them apart to reveal her opening.

He was only mildly surprised to find that she was a virgin but he did not hesitate before sticking a finger inside. Niki jumped slightly but gave no other sign she'd even noticed the intrusion.
Genuske decided he liked this reaction and promptly stuck a second finger inside, causing her to gasp in alarm. By the third finger his member was uncomfortably hard and he could hardly wait anymore.
With great ceremony, he moved himself closer, until he was just touching her opening, before thrusting deep inside.

Niki groaned loudly as her lower half felt like someone had set fire to it. Genuske at least had enough respect for her that he did not move again until she signalled for him to continue.
After the first few times she forgot about the pain. The reason for this being he found her seed spot. She had to stifle a scream the first time and merely moaned the others.
He thrust again and again, going harder and faster each time. When he showed signs of slowing, Niki pressed another point that would let him go on longer.

He soon started to climax and he was grinning broadly. It had been a long time since he had bed with another woman and he now realized what he'd been missing so much.
Niki cried out as he began going faster than before, pressing deep within her. He groaned in satisfaction as she tightened around him, drawing him in up to the sheath.
A white liquid slowly began to leak out around his manhood which he recognized as cum. He knew he hadn't cum yet, so it must've been Niki's.
He paused to dip his fingers in it.

Niki had been panting for breath when Genuske plunged two fingers with a disgusting liquid on them into her mouth. She gagged at first but soon obediantly swallowed it.
She now understood why Jaraiya and Kakashi had held this activity in such high regard.
She had to work very hard not to scream when he had hit her seed spot. But doing so might have gotten the children's attention.
Likewise placing a silencing jutsu would have been suspicious, endangering them. Many had progressed far in their short training time, but not far enough to take on all those jounin.

As distracted as she was by her wishful thinking, it came as a surprise when she heard Genuske cry out and there seemed to be something wet between her thighs.
Unable to see what it was properly, she put up a good guess that it was his cum. Now all she had to do was wait a little while, use a med-jutsu taught to every kunoichi to see if she was pregnant, and then report.
And doing all that would keep her kids safe, for a time anyway.

Genuske would be lying to say he was proud of his actions. No man wants to force a woman into their bed. But he would also be lying to say he hadn't enjoyed it.
After the rather energetic round, both participants had lain side by side, trying to catch their breath. No sooner had Niki done so then she was dressed and left the tent like nothing had even happened.
Genuske followed suit to report to his men...to find a strange sight.

After not seeing their mother all through breakfast, (Niki had dispelled her clones, wonder why?) the kids had grown antsy. So when Minato started crying for his 'mama', it was like nudging open the gates of hell.
So Niki and Genuske were just entering the plaza when the great war started. Hell hath no fury like an angry mother.

After rapping them all on the heads and calming the frantic children, Niki turned to her wayward guests. "Genuske and I have come to an understanding." She informed them whilst picking up Minato. "Return in two weeks and we'll know the results."
By the end of the hour the routine had returned and clones were taking care of the kids, foraging, teaching, and or reading up or training new techniques and jutsu.
So Niki's life was rather uneventful for about thirteen days. The next day the shinobi would return, so she had to stop stalling and perform the med jutsu.

She made sure she was a good distance away from the camp first though. If the answer was what she thought it was she might accidently start screaming.
She performed the jutsu and waited until she got the feedback.

Three hours later, she still had yet to move a single muscle since she found the answer. It was official, she was the breeding stock of the Iwa shinobi named Genuske.
Absently she wondered if he would be happy to know he was going to be a father. Her only hope was that the child would grow to be a strong man or woman, no matter who they lived with in the end.

The next day she stood in front of the shinobi with her mask upon her face. It was not a physical one, but one of 'stoicness'.
"Congrats Genuske, ya got me knocked up." She said, not buttering it up for them or anything. "Now I want you all to stay nice and far away from me and my family and when the kid is born, I'll let you come over. We got that clear?"
They all nodded their heads, remembering the terror they met when they had been within two hundred feet of her crying kids.

The rest of the day passed boringly enough. Niki attempted to relax after discovering her expectancy. However, being who she was, she couldn't just lay down for a nap in the middle of the day.
So instead she decided to go on another quest. She was going to search for those remaining shinobi from other villages.
She was going to search for them, in hopes of getting an alliance.

Maybe it wouldn't mean much if it was just a handful of shinobi, but it would be enough. Enough to hold back any of those experiments gone wrong made by Orochimaru.
She didn't know if she would be able to protect all of her kids if those monsters came. And she couldn't bear to lose any more precious people. Not after everything that had happened. Not after losing so many at once.

Pumping as much chakra as she could into her clones, she set off for Suna. With any luck she'd find this mysterious kunoichi wandering the land of Wind.
Her clones should last a week at the least, plenty of time to get there, search a bit, and get back before they started dispelling at a rapid rate. With any luck she'd be home by the end of the week with her little boys and girls, teaching them what was edible and what wasn't and so on.

She reached Suna in two days, to find it looking as dead as it had before. But this time her mind was clear from the horrible grief she had felt the first time. This time she would really search.
"Helloooooo!" She called loudly, trying to hear any sign of life. "I'm from Konoha! Is anyone there! Please?" She felt the familiar lonliness beginning to set in.
Shaking off the feelings, she headed to where she thought a fellow kunoichi might have gone looking for food.

In the middle of the village, she heard something that she had learned to recognize. It was the sound of someone sobbing hysterically.
Feeling a great pang in her heart she immediatly burst through the kazekage tower doors and raced up the stairs. In the main office she found not one kunoichi, but several shinobi.
All of them were grieving in their own way. From their headbands, stubbornly tied to their heads, she knew they were Suna shinobi.

"Their all dead!" One of them cried, a brown haired male about thirteen. Looked like he was just a genin. "Everyone! It's the end of the world!"
Seemed like they were in some kind of shock. Almost like they had just realized it.
"Where have you guys been for the past few months?" She asked aloud, not aware she'd even opened her mouth.

The reaction was instantanious. "A SURVIVOR!" They all leapt as one, barraging her with a constant stream of questions and demands.
"QUIET!" Her patience may have gotten better after dealing with so many kids, but these weren't kids. "I'll answer your questions but you have to ask them like grown men and women!"

Eventually, she had learned their stories. Apparently these guys and gals had been on a mission to some far away land and had felt the chakra approaching them.
Having had plenty of warning, they had managed to burrow underground before the human destroying virus had been able to reach them. Thus rising the number of remaining people on the planet by six shinobi and two kunoichi of Suna.

Niki stayed for the day, helping them all prepare to make the trek to New Konoha, as she affectionatly named it. Even now, she felt one of her clones dispelling, giving over it's wealth of knowledge.
Shiro had managed to land a hit on one of her clones during a spar. He was fast becoming a strong shinobi. To one day protect New Konoha.

On their way back, Niki kept an eye out for any of the fabled Orochimaru demons that the Iwa had warned her of. She didn't want to end up as some monster's dinner.
Not when she had over a hundred children's dinner to think about. She'd had some clones begin working in fields and things to grow food, but harvest time was far away. She had to think of how she was going to sustain them all through the winter.
She didn't want to lose any of them.

"Miss Niki, how did you survive?" It was a man named Baki, she remembered him to be Gaara's genin sensei.
"I was in the eye of the storm, as it were." She told him. "If I had been stronger, finished it sooner, so many lives could have been spared."
They allowed her to run in silence from that point on. They sensed, rather than knew, that there was something more. However, they had heard legends of Niki Uzumaki-Namikaze's great temper, and had no wish to be on the recieving end of such.
Though, seeing the kids had been pushing it. Just a little.

"Where did you find them all?" Mitsuri asked, in awe of the sheer number of children each vying for Niki's attentions.
"In one of Orochimaru's labs." She told them. "I took them in and am raising them now. Though they can be a bit of a hand ful."
Suna and Konoha had been on relatively good terms. With both Gaara and Niki as kage, the treaty and alliance had flourished.
Now however, relations with any of the former villages were shaky. She would need to keep an eye on her guests. For the sake of her children.

"Niki-kaasan!" Shiro greeted her joyously, carrying little Minato in his arms. "Did you know? I beat one of your clones while sparring!" He seemed so anxious to hear he had done good.
"Yes I got the feed back Shiro-kun." She told him, ruffling his hair fondly. "Your going to be a strong shinobi one day. Maybe you can even be hokage!" She had of course taught each child the village's history.

"Niki-kaasan!" The twins cried, firey (?) tears streaming down their cheeks as they rushed forward to claim their spot in their kaasan's arms. "We missed you! Clones aren't the same!" They told her tearfully.
"Hush now, I know." She told them soothingly, brushing their beautiful red hair. "Don't worry though, I'm here now Faia and Kaji."

"So many of them." One of the shinobi muttered, eyeing the sea of children with barely concealed horror. "How does she take care of them all."
"With the help of a few hundred Kage Bunshin." She told them, picking up Minato and placing him on her hip. "I thank the day I stole the forbidden scroll and learned that jutsu. It's saved my life more times than I care to admit."
Slightly perturbed about her admitting to having stolen a scroll of forbidden jutsu, the men continued eyeing the horde of pre-adolecents with much suspision.

That night, there was much feasting and laughter as the shinobi of Suna told tales of their adventures. It was while listening to all this that Niki found something rather strange.
It was frighteningly skinny with brown fur, wearing a single pink ribbon. She had seen this terrifying creature in her nightmares since her first D-rank mission!
It was the fearsome one tailed cat, Tora!

Her screech of terror could be heard all through out the world as she stumbled away from the yowling creature. "RUN! It's TORA!" Of course, she had told many a horrorfying bedtime story to her children, so they panicked as well.
For many minutes the clearing was chaos as the children, their mother, and their numerous clones, each tried to escape the deadly feline.
"It's the evil demon cat from HELL!" Niki cried from atop the table, where she had climbed in hopes the beast would not follow.

Baki sweatdropped before leaning down and gently picking the cat up from where it had been staring bemusedly at the woman on the table.
"So this is Konoha's version of the Two Fanged pet snake, Hebi." He muttered ruefully. "When we saw that thing running around Suna we freaked out as well. But without our respective daimyo's wives, we are safe."
"Are you sure?" Niki asked him hesitantly, remembering nearly having her eyes clawed out the first time she picked the creature up.

"We're certain." Mitsuri assured her, urging her down from her perch amongst the food. "Hebi doesn't really seem like a demon anymore, he's just a lazy old snake now."
"Then how do you explain them living for so long?" Niki asked them accusingly, as though they were the source of many tormenting missions.
"Apparently whenever one died, the daimyos would buy another one just like it before their wives found out." Baki informed her. "This might in fact be the great-great-great grandkid of the very first Tora."
