Kosuke's POV:

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, and then replied, "She is, is she?"

Amaya glared at me, and then faced Kakashi and said as if she didn't care, "Yeah, I am. Sasuke's invited me, so I figured why not?"

Kakashi seemed to be thinking over that for a moment, and then he said casually, "Not a good idea right now."

Amaya looked at him with big eyes, and then glared at him and demanded, "And why the hell not?!"

Kakashi walked over to the refrigerator and opened it, then pulled out a bottle of water. He took a gulp of it, while Amaya boiled and I giggled slightly. Amaya's glare went from Kakashi to me, and I quickly shut up, before I ended up going through a wall.

Kakashi swallowed, and then looked back at Amaya and replied, "For one thing, you're pregnant. You should live here, where it's closer to the Hokage building in case you ever need something. For a second thing, you and Sasuke both just got back to this village after deserting it. If you were to move into his house right now people might wonder if you two were planning something against the village. I'd just assume we don't give Tsunade a new headache that she has to deal with."

Amaya didn't look happy about what she had just heard, but she must not have completely disagreed with it, because she wasn't putting up a huge fight against it either. In fact she seemed to actually really be thinking it over. It surprised me very much. To me it actually sounded like a good idea and good reasoning, but I never would have thought that Amaya would think so. She's kinda stubborn when she wants something.

Finally she sighed in exasperation and said to him, "Fine, I won't move in with him yet, but soon as soon as the baby is born, I'm outta here!"

Kakashi nodded, and replied, "That isn't a bad idea. He is the father of the kid after all; he should probably be in the kid's life and that's a good way to make sure that he is. Plus once you have it the villagers would probably be upset if you two didn't get together. They'd probably put their opinions in with the Hokage, and that would annoy her too."

"Stupid villagers. Just leave me and my business the hell alone or you'll end up with my foot shoved up your ass!" Amaya threatened, balling her fists.

"Ouch, that would hurt," I said, as I mixed the seasoning into the ramen.

Amaya grinned and replied, "Yeah, but I'd enjoy it!"

I winced. "I know you would," I told her.

At that moment Sasuke walked into the kitchen.

"How's the food coming?" he asked, going up to Amaya and putting his arm around her waist.

"Fine," she replied, pouring water into cups for all of us, "Just about done, actually."

"Good. I think people are hungry," he told us.

"By people you mean Naruto?" I asked, dividing the ramen into bowls.

"Yeah. He claimed that he could smell it cooking all the way upstairs. Wouldn't surprise me either; you should have heard the way his stomach was growling," Sasuke said, smirking.

"Mm, doesn't surprise me. This stuff smells awesome!" Amaya exclaimed, standing over the steaming bowls and taking large whiffs of the steam.

"I think we had better get people down here before Amaya devours it all," I said, and then called loudly, "Ramen's ready!" knowing that Naruto at least would hear me.

Sure enough, we heard a shout from upstairs, "Yes! Finally!!" and heard feet racing down the stairs, and the next second Naruto was beside Amaya, also smelling the air.

"Yum!!" he exclaimed, and grabbed two of the bowls, one of which he handed to Hinata as she much more calmly entered the room.

She smelled it and said, "This smells delicious! Thank you."

Lee was right behind her, and made a display of smelling the air and exclaiming, "What a wonderfully youthful aroma!! It must be enticing!"

"Here," I said to him and handed him a bowl.

"Thank you Kosuke my friend!" he replied, taking the bowl and promptly digging right into it, as were the others.

Amaya and Sasuke grabbed their bowls, and sat at the table together, Amaya sitting in Sasuke's lap, quickly sticking their chopsticks into their bowls and joining in. I looked at the two remaining bowls, and picked one up. Turning, I offered it to Kakashi.

"Here," I said to him, handing him the bowl.

His one visible eye almost looked surprised as he received the bowl, and told me, "Thank you."

I smiled and replied, "Your welcome."

Kakashi stared at me for just a second before he began eating, and I turned back around to face the counter, to hide the slight shade of pink that I could feel heat over my cheeks. It seemed as though Amaya had not missed that encounter, because I heard her scoff over in Sasuke's lap and I glared at her. However, she didn't plan out her scoff very well because at that time she had a mouthful of ramen in her mouth, and as she scoffed she happened to nearly choke on some of it. As I realized what she did, I smiled, but then she actually spit some of the ramen back out, while some of it somehow even came out her nose. When I saw this I couldn't stop myself, and I laughed so hard, and soon everyone else was laughing as well, including Sasuke, as they realized what just happened. I think the only person not laughing was Amaya herself. She sat there, glaring at all of us. This was only funnier, though, because she had ramen broth running down from her nose to her chin, and her body was bouncing up and down as Sasuke, her seat still, shook with laughter. It was such a funny sight that I actually fell on the floor, I was laughing so hard!

Amaya's POV:

Oh yeah Amaya, real smart, I thought to my self, as I grabbed a napkin and quickly cleaned my face off. With a glare to Kosuke I stood, bowl of ramen in my hand. "Ha ha," I hissed sarcastically as I dropped the entire bowl on her, before crossing my arms, a smirk on my face. The laughing around us just increased, even Kakashi was snickering slightly.

I raised an eyebrow at her, still glaring down. She sat up, her clothes dripping in the broth of the ramen, noodles hung off her clothes and hair, sliding off her face. She stared up at me, eyes wide, "What did I do? It was your own fault," she asked, her voice showing just how shocked she was.

I shrugged my shoulders, "Eh, payback I guess." I smirked, taking her bowl of ramen and sticking it in the microwave, where the heat would keep it warm for her. "Go clean up," I told her pointing towards the downstairs bathroom.

With a roll of her eyes she did just that, a blush on her cheeks as Kakashi watched her walk away. The laughter had quieted down so that it was just snickering. I walked back over and sat back down on Sasuke's lap; obviously he had enjoyed the show because he was still shaking with contained laughter. I glared at him, my attention leaving only when I heard Naruto.

"Is this how it always is with you and Kosuke?" he asked, my golden eyes traveling to him. Naruto sat next to Hinata, his chair pushed closer so that their enclosed hands could rest on Naruto's right leg.

I shrugged, "Pretty much, though that wasn't that bad. You should have been there the time I choked on just the steam coming off of it." I smirked, "If there's one thing I learned from that, it would be to never inhale when you're going to take a bite out of something."

Naruto laughed along with everyone else, Kakashi just nodded. He had been there, though at the time, he found it amazingly funny, practically falling on to the floor as Kosuke had. How much the two had in common! Lee had already finished half his bowl, just a little less than Naruto had actually. Kakashi had finished, his mask pulled back up as he leaned against the counter, probably waiting for Kosuke.

"Amaya!" I heard her yell. Wow, she knew when I was thinking about her? No, she just needed her pajamas upstairs. I hurried up and brought them back to her, heading back into the kitchen.

"Kosuke'll be out in a moment," I informed them, taking my seat on Sasuke's lap again. He took a bite out of his ramen before offering me any considering mine was, or had been, all over Kosuke. Kakashi had already taken care of the mess, he's so thoughtful! …. When Kosuke's involved it seemed.

I shook my head, "Nope, all yours. I got my own stash," I reassured him, pulling out a pixie stick.

Naruto had finished his ramen, along with Hinata. Well, she gave half of hers to him, really. "I'm gonna go upstairs alright?" Naruto asked taking Hinata's hand in his own.

"Alright, just don't make a mess," I told him with a smirk, and both Hinata and Naruto blushed at that. "We'll be up when Kosuke is finished.

Lee too stood, "Amaya, may I use your phone?" he asked, I had my own phone line upstairs; the one downstairs was Kakashi's. He didn't use it much; it was mainly for missions or information.

"Sure," I paused, "Do you need anything?" I asked, I didn't think he left anything, but you never know.

He shook his head, "I merely wish to call Gaara and let him know I will be returning in the morning."

I cocked my head to the left, "Why didn't he join you?"

"He was not feeling well," he said, although I knew what he really meant. I had to agree, being pregnant was not fun in the least. Lee made it up the stairs in practically one leap.

It was just Kakashi, Sasuke, and I in the kitchen now, Sasuke's empty ramen bowl in front of us on the table. Kakashi had pulled out his book. Obviously he was still waiting for Kosuke; otherwise he would have taken it into the living room to read.

I was on my sixth pixie stick and was pretty much bouncing on Sasuke's lap, unable to sit still anymore. Yet when I pulled out another one, someone stole it. I glared up at Sasuke who held my sugar just out of my reach. I reached up, stretching my arm out to grab it. He leaned back, out of my reach again, I stretched more, and this time when he leaned back he toppled the chair over.

I smirked at him, as the fall didn't bug me. After all, I just landed on him. Kakashi just watched, mildly amused, an eyebrow raised. I straddled his hips, capturing his hands in mine as I pulled my pixie stick back. I finished it, not bothering to move as I smirked down at him. Kosuke walked in then, her eyebrow raising and a smirk gracing her face as she looked down at us.

Sasuke didn't say anything, but his eyes traveled up to look up at her, and if you didn't know him like Kosuke and I did, you would have missed the slight tinge of pink on his cheeks. I reached back and grabbed a new pixie stick, holding it out to Kosuke. "Want?"

"Um, no, not really," she said with a smirk, she walked over and removed her ramen from the microwave. I shrugged, tearing off the top of the tube. With a smirk I opened Sasuke's mouth and poured the contents into it. At the sight of his face I knew he hadn't ever had one before.

I smirked and with a laugh said, "I just stole your pixie virginity!"

He rolled his eyes and muttered, "That and more." With Ookami's enhanced hearing I was able to pick that up easily. He sat up quickly, and I would have fallen onto the floor had he not swept his arms around me. He picked me up bridal style and I gave a small yelp in surprise, my arms instinctively wrapping around his neck.

He smirked, turning to Kosuke and Kakashi, "I'm going to take Miss. Pixie Stick to her room now. See you up there Kosuke." Kakashi nodded at him, and Kosuke waved, her mouth full of ramen.

I smirked as he carried me upstairs, "Oh no," I said sarcastically, "We're leaving the two lovebirds alone."

He smirked and kissed me, "Better than watching," he murmured, his lips still against mine, eyes closed. I smiled back, before closing the 2-millimeter space between us and met his lips.
