Phew! Alright! I LOVE YOU MY REVIEWERS/READERS! Thanks! Anyway onto the story! lol
"No." Sasuke refused while glaring at Tsunade as though it would make her disappear. Granny however was about as immune to the Uchiha glare as I was so, much to the bastards displeasure, she stayed put.
"It's not a matter of choice." She said with just as much venom. I on the other…
"Pfffttt…heehee b-bastard…i-it's not…pfft…so bad." I tried to say while my shoulders shook with suppressed laughter which made Sasuke turn his glare towards me. Oh joy.
"What! It's not my fault that you have to do this as part of the daddy lessons!" I shouted but it was impossible to keep the grin from my face. His glare couldn't have been anymore sour.
"Hn." Oh and there he goes sulking.
"Don't be a brat and put it on." Tsunade said while she held up, what I'm sure Sasuke thought was, his doom. There in Granny's hands was a ten pound, beat up old grey sack that was supposed to resemble a pregnant women's stomach. Designed like a vest it had two saggy sacks in what I assume are supposed to be the boobs and then a huge deformed sack the bottom representing the stomach. How this was supposed to teach the bastard anything I wasn't sure but like hell I was going to pass up on this opportunity to see Sasuke looking so ridiculous!
"I will not put that vile thing on." Sasuke glared at it as though it was going to grow teeth and attack him any minute. Psssh wimp.
I thought that granny had fallen off her rocker when a smirk filled her features instead of her usual rage.
"Hmph and you call yourself a man. I mean if even Naruto can do,"
"Hey!"
"I thought for sure you could handle a fake stomach for a couple minutes…" And her smirk turned cynical. I was about to give her a piece of my mind about how I was just as, if not more, manly then Sasuke when a wave of death crashed through the room. I slowly turned behind me and was vividly reminded of a serial killer. Weirdo…
"Give it to me." Sasuke demanded with his hand extended out. Tsunade acted as though he was the one begging to wear it and threw the ugly sack at the teme who caught it by the tips of his fingers. Sasuke held the vest away from him as though it was contaminated with toxins and studied it thoroughly.
"Ah geez teme it's not this complicated, just put one arm in then the other!" I shouted getting impatient. He shifted his cold glare towards me for a moment and then returned it to the object in his hands.
What was he waiting for, the apocalypse?...Well that actually might be an accurate guess now that I think about. However frustrated and annoyed I snatched the vest from his hands and began a war. Soon we were rolling on the floor me trying to grab his arms and him avoiding that one outcome.
After much struggling and couple bruises, the war was over, meaning that now one Sasuke Uchiha sported a fine new stomach. However with as much dignity as the Bastard could gather he stood on his feet but it was too late. The damage had been done. His hair was sticking out in different directions. His clothes rumpled and distorted while the vest tried to slide down his arm, and a pink hue dusted across his cheeks, from the struggle or the plain embarrassment I would never know.
At this point it was impossible to contain myself.
"BWHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my god! This is so priceless!" I shouted while bluntly pointing my finger at him.
"Oh shit! I'm peeing myself! Oh shit shit shit!" I laughed while attempting to waddle to the bathroom.
"Moron." Sasuke said while crossing his arms, not moving a muscle to help me…bastard.
"Wow…I mean when I heard Naruto was pregnant I was shocked but Sasuke…you making this into another competition or something?…Cause at least Naruto isn't sporting fake boobs…That's a little excessive isn't?" A familiar voice said from the doorway. All laughing ceased when my eyes snapped up to meet the cocky smile of none other than Kiba. Suddenly the notion of me having to pee hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Oh Shit! Ok you guys…Just wait or something…I just… I gotta…" I said trying as fast as I could to waddle to the god damn bathroom. Who the fuck decided to make the bathroom so far away? God so inconsiderate! Before I could even blink I was lifted into the air and found that the toilet was magically getting closer.
I was about to flip some shit at being treated like a god damn girl when I noticed how tense the bastards muscles had gotten. Choosing to stay still I allowed the humiliating behavior to continue. Ha and the bastard says I don't do anything for him! LIES! It was only until we reached the bathroom and I was placed down that I realized that Sasuke still had the stomach on.
In the end I needed new pants, which the bastard smugly retrieved for me…asshole, when I finally decided I was presentable enough to go face the unknown. As I reached for the handle Sasuke snatched my hand into his own while his gaze smothered me until I really thought I was going to suffocate.
I wanted to yell at him, call him a scaredy-cat, make that unwavering gaze leave mine, and replace that fear with any other expression. I was scared too and having Sasuke showing his concern didn't help the swelling dread that formed in the pit of my stomach. But I was man, and I needed to start pulling my weight in this relationship too and stop relying on the stupid teme.
Taking a deep breath I looked the anxious bastard in the eyes, placing my hand on his arm as reassurance. Even if he pretended that the touch was unwanted I knew he appreciated it by the relaxation of the muscles.
"Come on Teme…can't keep them waiting forever." I said making sure that my voice wouldn't waiver with my speeding heart. But Sasuke wasn't an idiot and sometimes I was positive the teme could understand me better than I did myself. I turned to walk out the door when his arms wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me back into his chest. He said nothing as held me in his arms, but then again words might have ruined the moment.
We stayed like that, each of us taking the other strengths and giving up our own to the other. And people thought that we couldn't share ha. I took one last shaky breath before finally moving out of the embrace, turning my head around to smile. Sasuke nodded and gave a short grunt clearly conveying that if he sensed trouble he was getting both our asses out of there. I rolled my eyes and finally opened the bathroom door.
"What the heck where two doing in there? Actually…I change my mind I don't want to know boss…" Came the oh so polite comment from none other than Konohamaru, who was sporting a very smug smirk. However, as much I want to deny it, I felt my face light up making the urge to whack the boy across the head run through my mind.
"Shut it Konohamaru!" I shouted pointing an accusing finger towards the convicted criminal.
"Hahaha well he sure gets pissy like the old Naruto." I heard another voice chuckle.
"Shut up! I do not get pissy!" I shouted before I finally processed what was going on. I noticed that my close friends were all now standing in front of me, counting twenty in all. Kiba, Shino, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Sai, Kakashi, Yamato, Guy, Kurenia, Iruka, Konohamaru and his three friends, Tsunade, and Shizune all were gathered in the small house that I temporarily called home. I heaved a sigh trying to release the butterflies that began to flutter to life within my stomach.
"Yep…Definitely the same old Naruto." Choji joked and everyone joined in the laughter. It was strange how…normal it all seemed. I felt a wave of calmness wash over me at the familiar surroundings. It made it that much easier to open my mouth and begin my tale of woe.
However before I could get the first word out Shikamaru held up his hand stopping all words in their wake.
"Before you be you start we aren't alone." Shikamaru stated bordely while looking at the ceiling. I cocked my head to the side clearly indicating my confusion. He looked at me before taking a deep sigh.
"What a drag." He said as he slowly moved toward the door. I looked at Sasuke as his grip around my waist tightened. However when I stepped forward he did nothing to stop me, but remained stuck to my side.
I walked out the door and was surprised by the blinding light of the sun which caused me to use my hand as a sheild. I slowly looked around the yard finding…everyone. The five great nations where all gathered before me and it made me stumble in my walking. I didn't look around to try and recognize particular faces because somehow they had all began to blend as one. For a moment I felt dread and fear coil inside me and my fight or flight instincts began to kick in. Sweat began to pour off my face as I began to look for my escape roots. I could feel my heart pounding as adrenaline coursed through my veins. I had to leave, I had to escape, I didn't want to see those eyes again. Just as I was about to dart a firm hand gripped my shoulder causing me to flinch away from the touch.
"Dobe…" Sasuke whispered into my ear causing a shudder to rush through but for a whole other reason. Slowly the tense feelings in my stomach dwindled allowing me to take in a deep breath to calm my heart. As I looked around from face to face I could see the eagerness and nervousness that had been inside of me reflect in their eyes.
I nodded my head in a sign of greeting. I expected question after question, maybe a few sneers or looks of disgust, but all that surrounded me was silence. Finally I decided to get things started.
"Uh…Hey everyone…" I stared trying to hide my shaking knees.
"I know that most of you must be pretty freaked out by all of this, I was too. Hahahahaha" I stated rubbing the back of head, trying to buy myself time in order to think of what to say next. A small amount of pressure was applied to the hand by my side and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face as I squeezed back on the teme's hand. I had almost forgot…I wasn't alone.
"I understand that some of you won't want to accept me, Sasuke, or my child into your society. And if you choose to hate me, I will also understand but the bastard and my child, please…our child will be just like you or your children. Please at the very least accept him." I would've gotten on my hands and knees but with my stomach in the way I just bowed as deeply as I could, praying my message had reached them. I snapped my head up when a loud rude snort filled the air.
"What you so worried about, We all friends here, There ain't gonna be no fallout, So shed no tears." I heard from my right and snapped my head to realize that it was indeed uncle bee.
"Yeah Naruto! I don't know about the rest of these guys but I know that we, from the land of waves, are behind you one hundred percent! I'll protect with both my arms!" I heard a not so little Inari shout.
"Don't be a fool." I heard Gaara quietly say but his eyes shined with respect. Temari laughed and shrugged.
"Don't be an idiot. You saved our country, brought back our loved ones! We, as Kohona, owe you our lives!" Shouted another man from the crowd and a loud yell of agreement chorused through the air.
My eyes were wide and my mouth slightly open from the pure shock. I found my eyes searching for anything to tell me whether this was a dream or not. I first locked eyes with the five kages who smiled and nodded in agreement with the shouting. I switched over to my friends behind me to find them doing the same. Finally I looked up at the one person who I trusted my life with to find him scanning the crowd just as I had done. He must have felt my gaze upon him because in the next instant he was looking back at me, eyes held worry in them but it was his protective hold on my waist that made my breath catch in my throat.
Maybe it was silly or made me dumb but in that moment it all became clear. I wasn't alone. It was so simple and yet so hard to grasp. I had friends and I gave my all into protecting them all but I never allowed them to protect me. How many times had I worried about raising my child alone? Not once did it occur to me that people would want to help me. That they would care about me.
I would like to blame Takahiro for making me so over emotional, but the truth was that those words hit me deep than any wound could. Tears poured from my eyes as my heart melted inside my chest.
"Shit man you really are pregnant. You're sobbing like a damn girl" Kiba said on a chuckle making the whole crowd laugh with him. Even I found myself cracking a smile before faking a glare.
"Shut up I could still wipe the floor with your ass any time of the week!" I shouted causing a growl from Kiba and a whole new round of laughter from everyone else. Except Sasuke who only snorted and mumbled a childish under his breath…bastard.
The night went by smoothly, everyone coming and going in rounds. The Konoha gang and Sasuke stayed the whole time but it was really nice to see everyone.
Questions were of course asked how, why, when, the basics. When finally it was just Shikamaru, Sai, Choji, Kiba, Shino, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Konohamaru, Yamato, Kakashi, Temari, Kankuro, uncle Bee, the five kages, and Shizune we all sat around a camp fire talking and laughing about anything that came up.
"So it's a boy huh?" Tenten said while she gently touched my stomach. I smiled and nodded even as the asshole snorted next to me. She looked up, confusion scribbled across her face.
"The dobe thinks it's a boy…" The teme mumbled under his breath. I rolled my eyes at his antics.
"What do you mean? Can you not see him?" Neji piped in from behind Tenten. I laughed and scratched the back of my head.
"Well…no we can't…"
"Then how do you know it's a boy?" Neji persisted. Sasuke smirked and I glared before puffing out my cheeks and crossing my arms.
"Intuition." I mumbled causing everyone to laugh.
"But why can't you see him?" Choji asked while the laughter and the red in my cheeks died down.
"Well…we only have a theory…but basically the Kyubbi is one who made this happen, by taking a small portion of his chakra and…uh dividing it amongst me." Wow…that was definitely one of the most awkward moments in my life… you try explaining that two sperms were meshed and made to create an egg…to everyone else…I mean the images they would think of!
"Anyway, the reason we think we can't see the baby is because he is inside the Kyubbi's seal. We can't see inside of it, therefore we also can't see our child. I don't think it was consciously done by the Kyubbi, I think it was the only way for the egg to survive." I finished. The campsite was silent once more but it didn't last for long.
"Sasuke how the hell did you know? I mean did you know before hand?" Tenten asked innocently. Sasuke glared at her for a moment before Sai decided to pipe in.
"I told him." He claimed with that fake smile of his. She nodded before continuing.
"But how did you know where he was?" She continued to press. Of course when she said that I found that even I didn't know the answer to that. Sasuke glanced over to where Shizune was sitting, which she turned red when all eyes were casted on her. Ah Shizune…I always knew she was a romantic…
The air became quiet, and one question continued to nag at the back of my mind.
"Why don't any of you care that the bastard and I…had an affair…"They were all just as good of friends with, if not better, friends with Sakura then they were with me. Silence spread around us like a thick fog and for a minute I thought that they all were going to attack when Sai laughed.
"Well fish cake it was really obvious how much you and Sasuke-kun where interested in each other that no one was surprised." Sai said so casually you thought I was talking about a rock. My mouth dropped when I found everyone nod in agreement.
"WHAT!" I shouted. Everyone looked at me with that look…you know the one that clearly states that whatever you thought you were hiding was obviously never a secret.
"Come on Naruto did you really think it was a secret?" Temari, freaking Temari who doesn't even live here said.
"Yes actually I did!"
"Whenever you guy were in eyesight of each other it looked like you were ready to just rip off the others clothing and just do it right where you stood. I'm pretty sure even small children knew that something was fishy about you guys. I mean come on man we all have hormones but that is just out of control." Kiba, freaking oblivious Kiba, stated with a huge wolf grin. My mouth dropped further when everyone began to make jokes about how they were surprised this type thing only just happened. They had, apparently, predicted this long long ago. I sneakily looked up to the bastard who was sitting beside me to find a dark red hue on his pale face and his left brow doing its angry jig.
"Shut up." The Uchiha stated through his teeth causing the laughter to increase.
"Aw is daddy being over-protective of mommy?" Kiba said mockingly but soon stopped when he realized the look of death was upon him. However something else had me completely concerned about this entire situation.
"Who the heck is the mommy?" I asked completely serious. When everyone just continued to stare at me with just as shocked expressions as me, my fears were confirmed.
"Fuck that shit! I'm not the fucking mommy I'm a guy!" I shouted.
"I sure hope not with mouth like that." Choji said jokingly but it still caused a hue to rise on my cheeks.
"T-that's beside the point. I'm not a girl damnit!" I shouted trying to get everyone to see the logic. However no one seemed to be as deeply disturbed about this news as I was.
"Hahahaha I mean it's pretty obvious which one is the girl in the relationship…" Kiba said with a taunting smirk. My cheeks flushed in anger.
"Screw you! Just because I bottom doesn't make me any less manly!" Oh this fight was so brung! Seeing how rallied up I was getting Tenten placed a soothing hand on my shoulder while trying to contain her laughter.
"Then what would you call yourself?" She asked making me pause in thought.
"What?"
"Well if Sasuke is the daddy then what would you be?" I cocked my head feeling as though this was an obvious question.
"I would also be daddy…" I stated. It was suddenly very quiet around our lovely campfire.
"But Sasuke is the daddy…"
"So?"
"So…there can't be two daddys."
"Why not?"
"Because then you won't know which one he is talking to." This stumped me for a minute. Yeah…I guess that would be confusing. But like hell I was going to be called a mommy! No way! There had to be a word…similar to mommy… Mommy mommy mom mama?
"Papa!" I shouted after my few moments of silence which earned me a few quizzical looks.
"Look I'll be papa and the bastard can be daddy! It's perfect!" I shouted. This caused a whole new round of laughter to occur.
"W-whatever y-you say!" Tenten said in between laughs.
The rest of the night we continued to talk about things that truly were of no consequence. That is until the kages finally spoke up.
"Naruto." Tsunade said earning everyone's attention. I turned my attention to her and the rest of the kages before the Tsuchikage took her place. The old short man soon stood up and looked between both Sasuke and me.
"It's about time we discussed about what going to happen." I felt Sasuke tense beside me but paid no heed to it.
"What do you mean?" The kages looked amongst themselves before finally returning their attention back to me.
"Naruto," Mizukage had now taken over. " we, the five nations, have learned of this news. It is spreading like wild fire, mainly because it's such an impossible phenomenon." She said coolly.
"So…what's wrong?" I prodded trying to understand where she was going with this.
"Naruto Madara has been dormant since the last time we fought him. He was defeated but he is not dead. He has been looking for an opportunity to attack…" She stopped and looked at me seriously, as though trying to convey the message telepathically.
"So…" I said trying to tell her that no I didn't read minds and I never would. She sighed but before she could continue Sasuke finished her.
"Dobe you are the opportunity." He said deadly serious and then my heart dropped.
"But we have come up with a plan." The Raikage's voice boomed interrupting the mental nightmares of what happened to my mother while she gave birth to me.
"We are going to all protect you Naruto…"
"No." I stated feeling my blood run cold. All heads turned towards me.
"What?"
"No."
"Naruto…" Tsunade sighed.
"No! I don't want people to die for me!"
"This is more than just about you Naruto…This is also about the fate of the shinobi world as we know it." The old man lectured.
"But I can't help…"
"And no one asked you to. Naruto you are preoccupied…you have done enough for us, let us do something for you." Tsunade said seriously and everyone nodded in agreement.
When I didn't say anything, Gaara took over.
"Each of us have decided that we will send a portion of our militaries and rotate shifts, making sure that at all times you are protected." He stated in his monotone voice.
"Each of us has given our word to protect you and only our most trusted men will be sent. You have our word as the five kages that nothing will happen to you." The Mizukage continued while the rest nodded in agreement.
"Hn…and what proof do you have for not turning on us." Well…I guess the bastard was feeling left out. I turned to look at him for a minute before returning my gaze back to the Mizukage. She looked hard and long at Sasuke before smiling.
"You don't Uchiha-san you just have to trust us." I almost laughed at the idea of Sasuke trusting someone he hadn't analyzed and weighed how valuable they were to him, but somehow managed to keep it in. After a long silence he looked at me and I nodded, showing that it was ok. He dissected my gaze for a minute longer before looking away and grunting. He wasn't happy but he was just going to have to accept it.
"Alright." I finally agreed, and a rush of relief seemed to flow out of everyone.
"Oh and there is one more thing,,," Kiba from my right piped in.
"One of us will be with you the whole time too. Just so you feel a little more comfortable." He said while winking at me, and conversation started back up again. And for that one moment, I felt…peaceful. I looked up at the sky and prayed for time to slow down just a little.
"Damnit Naruto!" Kiba shouted while Akamru growled. I laughed and nervously rubbed the back of my head.
"I can't help it…Ahahaha I have to pee like every two minutes."
"Then why did you have to insist on going for a walk!"
"Fresh air?" I suggested and I could tell it was taking every fiber in Kiba's being not to whack me.. I crossed my arms and huffed.
"Listen I'll be like two seconds. I'm not like a girl I just whip it out and put it back in. No big deal." I said while walking to the nearest tree.
"Damn it you're trying to get me in trouble with your damn husband! The last thing I need is that bastard bitch slapping me for losing you."
"First off Sasuke doesn't bitch slap, it's more like bitch assassinate*. Second, Sasuke isn't my husband, Third off, what am I a child? I think I can pee by myself!" I shouted while still peeing on the tree. Kiba had one brow raised, clearly telling me how unterrifying I looked…Damn.
"How the hell does Sasuke deal with you and your mood swings?" Ah yes because that would make everything better by continuing to mention said bastard who was MIA…NOT.
Sasuke had left earlier while I was taking a nap and had yet to come back. I wasn't worried or anything though…cough cough…
I finally finished relieving myself, when a voice rose in volume. Curious, I stepped closer to the noise.
"Sasuke I can't believe you did this to me!" I heard from none other than Sakura Haruno. My feet seemed to have become fused to the ground I found I couldn't move even if I wanted to. Kiba who was hot on my heels seemed to have been facing the same problem. So we stood there and listened to a conversation that neither of us should have been listening to.
"Sakura…"
"No! God Sasuke why? Just fucking why? Why did you do this to me? I knew…I knew that you loved him. But I wanted so badly to believe you Sasuke…To believe that you loved me back…" She finished with a trembling voice, trying to hold back the tears.
"Sakura, it wasn't my intention to hurt you."
"But you did Sasuke! I'm hurting so much I'm not sure where to start fixing myself! I…It's not Naruto's fault…I know that because I knew how much he was in love with you…and I know that had I been in that same situation, drunk with the person I loved, I probably would have done the same. But everytime I look at him…all I can see is you and him…I would have supported you two! I wouldn't have tried to come between you because I can accept defeat! But you lead me along like a damn dog and now I'm so lost. How could you…" She trailed off and a sob wracked through her body. Sasuke said nothing nor did anything to comfort her. I was angry for minute that he was just standing there letting her cry, but I was not naïve enough not to realize that he was doing that for her. Making sure that his feelings were clear, and so he was not giving her false hope…and somehow that made me feel dirty.
"A-and now I have become the bad guy! I am the one who is a jerk!"
"Sakura it's not like I knew…"
"Fuck you! You knew Sasuke and don't you dare feed me some crap about denial! I asked you Sasuke…I asked you if you were sure that you loved me…if maybe you really did love Naruto…and I'm not sure what you told Naruto but all I know is that that's the night you ended up sleeping together…and that was the morning you asked me to marry you…"
"But you had to give me false hope Sasuke…you told me that there wasn't another…that I wasn't just a substitute because I could bear children…Sasuke…do you realize how much you change when you are with Naruto? It's like you become a different person. You're so calm and even happy…When he was hospitalized and you wouldn't leave his side…I was fine with it for the first few days because I knew how much he meant to you, and to me too, but then you would never come home, and suddenly once again your schedule revolved around him…I'm not sure if it ever didn't revolve around Naruto… I knew had the places been switched and I was in Naruto's shoes…you would be there…with Naruto and you would leave with Naruto too…And then when he said he wouldn't go to our wedding. Sasuke you went crazy and for minute I thought you would kill someone…you were just so…unhappy without him there…" She finished quietly and a little horse from the yelling that had been done throughout the speech. Sasuke stood there quietly not saying a word.
"I was just as surprised when I found out Naruto was pregnant as you were. I don't remember sleeping with him that night." Sasuke defended. Sakura laughed, but it was bitter.
"I'm sure you thought it was a dream again." She muttered through her teeth. Sasuke's eyes widened a little at the just as shocking news to me.
"How…" Sasuke slipped before closing his mouth tightly. Sakura smiled bitterly.
"Oh thought I didn't know? It's what started all the, apparently crazy, ideas that you were in love with him. One morning I noticed you had a problem…down there…and decided it would be a nice 'wake up call' so I started kissing your cheek and neck and ear. However instead of my name you said Naruto's." Sasuke was quiet, not saying a word. I feared that my racing heartbeat would be heard by the two of them because surely it could be heard by the entire forest. Finally Sakura sighed, trying to hide the tears rolling down her face.
"Why…Why did you tell me you loved me? Was it a lie? A joke? A cover? Why Sasuke? Answer me you asshole!"
"Because I was scared." Sasuke answered and Sakura went quiet.
"Naruto…Naruto is a firecracker. Bright, easy to set off, loud, annoying, and unpredictable. It's what makes him able to see the light and make others see it too. Even if you don't want to, Naruto will shine it in your face so its staring right at you. And you have to look because it's just so damn beautiful. It scares me. He scares me. He holds so much power over me…over everyone he meets, without even knowing it. To make it worse he is just so unpredictable! And dumb! God he is such a moron! So he does all this random shit and no one can ever predict what's going to happen. But I'm never sure when he might…leave…and choosing to be with Naruto is choosing to leave everything I know behind, and change…that's what scared me…" Sasuke answered and I'm pretty sure everyone's mouth dropped at the entire paragraph Sasuke spoke. However I was deciding whether or not I should slap him or not! That was like the biggest backhanded compliment the stupid bastard! Sakura regained her composure quickly and looked him in the eyes before asking her last question.
"So tell me Sasuke…do you love Naruto?" I found myself leaning in closer, as though every millimeter would make a difference in his answer. When he didn't reply Sakura breathed again.
"Do you love Naruto? You at least owe me that…" Sakura asked once more. Sasuke looked at her before taking a deep breath.
"Yes."
When the bastard came home that night, I wanted to act like nothing happened. But as soon as I saw his face my act crumbled and I rushed into his unconscious embrace and was surprised when instead of yelling at me, the bastard only held me close.
"I love you too Teme…"
"Hn…dobe."
