Chapter 8: Gaara

For a whole month, Kyo and Kyoko spent their stay at Kakashi's apartment. The day Kakashi left with Sasuke for training, Kyoko noticed that Kakashi lived… quite messy. Kyoko grinned, and let Kyo play in the corner as she cleaned up. The next few weeks were dedicated to playing with her son.

The day that the third exam came, Kyo and Kyoko sat next to Ino and Sakura. They saw everyone show, but Kakashi and Sasuke was nowhere to be found. Kyo said something to Kyoko that she didn't expect.

"Where's daddy?"

"Wha…what did you just say honey?" she asked her son in shock.

"Daddy! Kakashi-sensei's my daddy right?" he said.

Kyoko smiled as she went to eye-level with him. "Honey, where did you get an idea like that?"

"Uncle Kabu, he said that daddy made you scream when you made me." Kyo said. "You were screaming and Kakashi-sensei was making weird noises."

Kyoko blushed. She didn't know he was awake when they did that. She smiled at him.

"I know baby, but… he's… he's not you're daddy sweetie." She said sadly. She was about to mention who his real father was, but with the reaction he had when he found out who he was, she didn't want him showing his Mangekyo Sharingan at the moment. She just ruffled his hair, and watched the first match between Naruto and Neji Hyuga.

All the matches were done except for Sasuke and Gaara's. She could see that Gaara was grinning, and felt scared. What if he did something to Sasuke and Kakashi? She shuddered at the thought. She recently had been feeling sick, and missed her period. She knew she was just scaring herself, but what if she was pregnant?

Finally about a second before Sasuke was going to be disqualified, Kakashi and Sasuke showed up in the arena. Kyoko sighed in relief. What was she worrying about? She watched at her son cheered at them.

"YAY!!! Uncle Sasuke!!!!" He exclaimed.

The fight was finally about to begin, and Kakashi came up.

"Daddy!" Kakashi stood in surprise with this.

"Honey, I told you he's not…"

"I don't care! I want to call him that!" Kyo said defiantly.

Kyoko smiled at Kakashi and mouthed "Sorry." Kakashi shook off his feeling of surprise, and instead surveyed the area. There were not enough ANBU officers for this match. Kyoko suddenly got a strange feeling. She got up, and told Sakura to watch Kyo for a second.

"Kakashi," she whispered to him. "I have a weird feeling. Like Kabuto's here, but I don't see him anywhere."

"I know. But let's not do anything until he does something." Kakashi told her holding her hand. Gai looked at them. He grinned, and went back to watching the match. It was getting very crazy. Sasuke hardly ever got scratched by the deadly sand. However, Gaara was trapped inside an egg-like shell of thick hard sand. Sasuke seemed to be thinking of something. He suddenly climbed up the wall, and stood there making hand signs. Suddenly, his hand started to have lightening. He had developed chidori!

Kyoko stared at amazement how Sasuke could do this. Kakashi said that is what kept them. He wanted to make sure he perfected it, and he did. He ran into Gaara's egg, and cracked it open. Than Gaara seemed to become more and more insane. Sasuke actually hurt him.

Suddenly feathers started falling everywhere. Kyoko felt herself becoming very tired. She realized right after Sakura that this was genjitsu as she released it, and Kyo fell back in the chair asleep. The Kazekage took the Hokage hostage, As Gaara's brother and sister took him, the proctor told Sasuke to go after them.

Meanwhile above, fake ANBU surrounded Gai and Kakashi. Kyoko stood up, and told him that she was following Sasuke no matter what, but before she left Kakashi grabbed her arm and kissed her.

"protect my son… I have a feeling Orocimaru is behind all this." She immediately left after Sasuke. She was trained as a Jounin after all.

Kakashi than fought the ANBU, and realized that some were after Sakura and Kyo. He protected them, and told Sakura to keep Kyo safe.

"Why are they after him?"

"He's an Uchiha. But don't tell anyone. I promised Kyoko." Kakashi said to her.

Kakashi fought and fought, and finally decided to let Sakura go with Naruto and Shikamaru.

"What about Kyo-kun?"

"I'll handle anyone who tries to hurt him." Kakashi said standing in front of the child.

Sakura ran and woke Naruto, and a Shikamaru who was NOT under genjitsu to go after Gaara with her.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke said as she caught up.

"I promised myself I'd look after you after you're brother left. So I'm coming along." She said not looking at him but simply ahead. It felt like it took forever to catch up with them. Suddenly Gaara's sister planted exploding notes, and Kyoko placed a protective field around she and Sasuke.

"That was close." Sasuke said after the last blast exploded.

Finally it was she and Sasuke against Gaara and his siblings. The girl stayed behind. Kyoko told Sasuke to go ahead, and she fought her. She didn't have the Uchiha genes, but she was able to fend her off with genjitsu, and some taijitzu. She than followed the path where Sasuke was going. Finally after more running, Sasuke caught up and threw shuriken at them.

"You threw running away?" he asked them.

"Who says I was running?" Konkuro asked out of breath. "I'll take you on no problem."

However Shino showed up and decided to fight him instead. Kyoko never liked bugs of dummies, so she was alright with this. Thank god he planted that bug on Sasuke and not her.

Finally they caught up with him. Gaara had a strange look in his eye. Almost demonic. Suddenly he started going crazy, and his face started cracking. As Gaara started talking about Sasuke as if they were the same, Kyoko wondered what that was. She then realized Sasuke had that same look that his brother had when he murdered his clan. Suddenly Gaara's body turned half-demon like. He attacked them, but Kyoko used her force field to protect them both, however, it was too much even for her. Sasuke used his sharingan, and they both fought this boy.

Suddenly while she was in the air, Gaara caught her. Her glasses were knocked off by the impact from the sand pushing her against the tree. She suddenly had a new glint in her eyes once more as this sand began to crush her. She than had a sudden pain in her abdomen. What was happening? She realized the sand was closing in on her, but she couldn't die. Not yet.

Her eyes began getting pink and veiny again. She suddenly created a huge force field around her and saved herself from a sand coffin. She stood there with an insane smile on her face. Almost as insane as Gaara's. The marking Orocimaru put on her began to spread all over her body as she helped Sasuke fight.

Orocimaru marked her as well? Sasuke thought as he fought alongside her. She started throwing balls of what was like fire at him only to have him protected by the sand. Suddenly he knocked Sasuke out, and Kyoko was now hurting from the mark. It was regressing, because of some unknown force inside her.

Kyoko listened to all the words Gaara was telling Sasuke making him think he was weak. All she could think of was how he must be feeling because of Itachi.

"I AM AN AVENGER!!!" Suddenly Sasuke attacked with Chidori for a third time, but than after he landed his markings were all over his body. He suddenly cringed in pain. The mark was regressing.

Than Naruto and Sakura showed up. This gave her the chance to run after Sasuke. She ran to him as Naruto and Sakura tried to take down Gaara, and Kyoko put up defenses around her and Sasuke.

All she could do was watch helplessly as Gaara began to look more and more demonic. He slammed an unconscious Sakura to a tree, and left her there saying to Naruto and Sasuke that the sand is slowly crushing her body. Naruto suddenly had a strange look to him. His eyes turned red and his nails longer and sharper.

She than realized that she was bleeding. Not from any cut, but from her pelvic area. Oh no… I WAS pregnant… she thought as she realized the pain she was now feeling. Her defenses melted away and all she felt was pain. Sasuke wasn't able to help her because the mark was pulsating through his body pinning him down. She let down her defenses with this pain. It was all up to Naruto now.
