'Who?' Thoughts
-YO!- Animal speech
Walking through the night (and still blushing from Kira's earlier accusation), Lily finally comes into sight of the apartment building that Harry and Naruto once lived in and still own. She then looks beside her at the woman beside her before shaking her head. 'And yet another person that owes both my son and my nephew their life.' She then turns towards Kira as she uses a charm to hide her scent. The two fall silent as they walk up the stairs, the two enjoying the other's companionship. Upon reaching the door to the apartment, Lily motions Kira towards the door and with a smile Kira unlocks it before stepping in.
"Don't worry about any kids at the moment, they're all out on a survival exercise at the moment with the Academy." She then becomes slightly thoughtful. "They seem to be focusing more on the practical then the theoretical now." She then opens the door and a smile blossoms on her face. "Inubaka! Here boy! I got someone I want you to meet!" Lily stays just outside the door as a big, black dog comes rushing out of the bedroom and practically tramples Kira as it licks her all over her face causing Kira to burst out in a fit of giggles. Suddenly the dog stiffens as Lily steps out from behind the door and gives it a slightly evil smirk.
"My, my... What a nice dog you have here Kira. I just love how black the fur is..." Kira just turns around not noticing the fact that her beloved dog has actually paled and is shivering. Lily then reaches down towards the dog and the dog leaps away from her and transforms into none other than Sirius Black, his hands held up in a warding gesture.
"Look, Lil's... I'm so sorry about this but..." He then notices how Lily's smacked herself in the face and is shaking her head. Blinking, he looks to see Kira shuddering before she takes off out of the room. "Um... What just happened?" Growling, Lily walks up and pokes him in the chest as her face becomes crimson. Sirius just gulps as he recognizes the danger signs. "Er... Lil's', I-" She cuts him off right there as she growls at him, her eyes becoming feline in nature in her anger causing Sirius to gulp in terror as he knows what's next.
"SIRIUS ORION BLACK! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA AS TO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! DO YOU!" Sirius goes to say something only to be slammed into the wall by an enraged Lily. "DON'T YOU EVEN SAY A WORD BLACK! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU'VE DONE YOU BLOODY MORON!" Sirius just looks away before mumbling under his breath about how she always does that leading Lily to slam him into the wall again. "LET ME PUT IT IN A WAY THAT EVEN A SMALL MINDED IDIOT LIKE YOURSELF CAN UNDERSTAND!" Her voice drops in volume as she brings his face close to her's. "Kira, that girl that just ran out, is a friend of your godson's. She's also a hurting woman who just found out that her 'Pet' is actually a dirty man that's been hiding out here!" Sirius just pales as he looks at the door before twisting out of her grip and taking off with a serious expression on his face.
"Sorry Lil's! As much as I want to talk to you about how you've miraculously returned from the dead, I have to get going! I'll see you in a while!" Lily just shakes her head while mumbling about idiot friends of her husband. Sirius meanwhile runs out of the door of the building before shifting back into his dog form and tracking Kira's scent while running. Eventually he finds her at a bridge going across a small stream sobbing. Seeing this, he mentally smacks himself for doing so before sighing as he shifts back into his human form. He takes a step only for Kira's head to whip around and fix him with a glare. Sheepishly, he raises a hand and gives her a small wave. "Um... Hi?" Her glare just increases before she looks away with a snarl.
"What do you want? To embarrass me some more? Is that it!" She then shudders as she quietly adds. "Haven't you done enough...? Haven't you taken advantage of me enough..." Sirius sighs as he walks forwards as she glares at him before sitting down.
"You wouldn't know this, but... This is the hardest thing that I can say so... I'm sorry." He then looks at Kira to see her glaring at him. "I never meant for this to happen. When you took me in, I was hurt and I was only going to stay long enough to heal up before I left." He notices how she flinched before he shakes his head. "But then I... grew attached to you. I'm sorry if I hurt you." Kira just continues to glare at him before hissing through her teeth.
"You... saw... me... naked..." Now it's Sirius' turn to flinch before scratching at his chin.
"Er... yeah. That's actually something that's embarrassing to me too." he then sighs and puts his head in his hands. "This is just so bloody royally screwed up." She then narrows his eyes at him.
"You saw me naked." She then looks away as her arm once again wraps around her waist. "You saw... everything." Sirius blinks at this still slightly confused.
"Yeah... we already covered this." Suddenly a light bulb turns on in Sirius' head and he gives her a raised eyebrow. "Wait a second... Are you talking about your scars?" Her flinch is enough of an answer for him causing him to sigh. "They're really not that big of a deal you know. Besides... Scars can be sexy you know." He gives her one of his patented grins. Her glare seems to increase in intensity at that, though he notices a light dusting of pink on her cheeks. 'Time for a little bit of the Ol' Black Charm.' Clearing his throat, he looks away slightly. "You do look quite stunning you know." She just snorts, her next words causing him to palm his face and mentally curse Harry.
"You do realize that Harry-sama told me all about you and your hound dog ways, right?" Sirius just groans as he hits his head on the wooden guardrail of the bridge.
"Ever since that day, I swear that my life has gone to shit in a hand basket." He doesn't notice Kira giving him a raised eyebrow as he runs his hand through his hair in an expression of nervousness before turning to her. "I will admit that at one time I was the penultimate skirt chaser, but not anymore. Azkaban pretty much killed that part of me." A haunted look comes into his eyes as Kira's widen in surprise.
'Those eyes... They're just like those of the survivors of the Kiri's genocide!' Her eyes soften some as she watches him shiver, but not from the chill night air. 'Maybe... maybe he might understand what it's like... a little.' She then crosses her arm across her chest and gives him a small glare. "If you're really sorry then why did you let this drag on as long as you did? Huh! Can you answer me that!" Sirius opens his mouth for a second to answer before closing it and becoming thoughtful.
'Why did I let it drag on for so long?' Crossing his arms, he leans back and looks up at the sky. 'It was... nice I guess not to have worry about the same old crap.' He then internally chuckles. 'That's not to say that there wasn't new crap to worry about, but still.' He then softly smiles. 'And for once there was someone who... cared. With no strings attached to my past.' He then looks at a questioning Kira (who has a single eyebrow raised as she's waiting for an answer) and smiles. "I think... it was because for the first time in a long time I felt at peace with myself and the world." Kira gives him an interested look before looking away.
"I still can't forgive you for taking advantage of me like you did Inubaka." He blinks at this before sighing as he scratches the back of his head.
"Well... if you look at it technically... we took advantage of each other because we were both lonely..." Her glare shuts him up as he looks away with a cringe. The two just sit there in the silence of the night, the only sounds being the crickets and the bubbling of the brook underneath them. Finally having enough of the silence, Sirius coughs into his fist and looks back at her to see her resolutely staring at the brook. "I don't know what to do in this kind of situation so... why don't you tell me what I can do to make it better?" Kira just sighs and looks at him with saddened eyes.
"Do you really think that you can do something to make all this..." She waves her arm around. "All better? Hardly." She then sadly looks at Sirius causing him to start. "Before I was nearly killed by the Bloodline hunters back in Water Country, I was one of the most feared Kunoichi in Kirigakure. Now?" She looks at where her missing arm once was. "Now? Now I'm a crippled has been. With the injuries I sustained even Tsunade-sama can't get me back up to snuff. And now this. I had a MAN hiding in my presence for several months and I never noticed." She then looks away, the tear sliding down her cheek and the cracking of her voice making Sirius feel like a real asshole. "Do you have any idea as to what that does to my pride? My Kunoichi pride?" Sirius just shakes his head.
"No. I'll freely admit that I don't." He then leans back and closes his eyes. "Look. I have no idea as to what's going on here. On why Lil's is now alive and that's not even mentioning how my godson is a ninja for Merlin's sake!" He then opens his eyes and Kira can't help but notice how gray they are, as well as an old pain hiding in their depths. "But... I'll do anything to make it up to you. Anything." She just nods he gets up and holds out a hand for her to grab. She does grab it as she looks at him.
"You'll do anything?" Sirius just nods with a smile. "Really now?" Sirius nods again except this time he also sighs as he rolls his eyes.
"Yes, I'll do any-" Before he can say anymore, Kira uses some leverage and flips Sirius onto his back causing all the air in his lungs to rush out. Not giving him a chance to recover, Kira straddles his waist and holds out her hand from which a bone spike slowly grows.
"Good." She then gives him a smirk. "Then you'll be taking me to the festival in a week's time. And then we'll go to the Kiiroi Kono (Golden Leaf) restaurant. You're paying." Sirius just hurriedly nods again and her smirk widens. "Good." She then brings her face closer to his as her smirk becomes a savage grin. "And if you even think of going back on your word..." She slowly moves the bone spike down until it's pointed just past Sirius' crutch and then launches it, burying it in the wood. "I'll do a vet's job and neuter the problem dog." Pale and sweating, Sirius gulps before nodding. Kira just reaches up and pats him on the top of his head. "Good Inubaka. Good boy." She then gets off him and starts to walk away. Sirius, on the other hand, just stays there for a few moments before looking at the still quivering bone spike. He then lays his head back.
'That... was a close one." He then looks in the direction that Kira disappeared in. "That is one scary woman..." He then smirks. "I think that I like that type..." He sits up and walks off himself, leaving the spike for people to puzzle over in the morning...
Twitching slightly, Mikoto slowly comes back to the world of the living. Eventually, she wakes up enough to notice the presence of a warm body pressing into her's. This jars her to full wakefulness as she opens her eyes and looks down to see a spiky head of blond hair on her shoulder. She stiffens slightly, her mind awhirl before calming down and relaxing as she remembers the night before. 'That's right... I nearly forgot all about what happened for a second there.' More starts to piece itself together as she smiles. She then blushes slightly as an idea occurs to her. First she looks one way and then another with her Sharingan on. 'Good. No one's around.' She then catches her reflection in a nearby mirror and frowns as she sees the Sharingan. 'I'll have to do something about that soon if I'm going to be with Naruto-kun.' She then bites her bottom lip as she moves her hand under Naruto's shirt, slowly feeling his abdominal muscles. She then moves up to feel Naruto's chest as he mumbles and groans. As she's doing this, she has to bite back a moan herself before she moves her hand downwards. Reaching his waistband, she glides her hand under it and feels around when she stops. A slight trickle of blood leaking from her nose is the only sign of what she's found. 'Wow... He's sure... developed in an interesting way...' She freezes at hearing a chuckle.
"You know Mikoto-chan, if you wanted to feel around then all you had to do was ask?" Jerkily, she looks at Naruto's face to see him with a smirk and one eye open, looking at her in wry amusement. His smirk just widens as he watches her turn bright red at being caught during her "Explorations." His chuckles then become a small laugh as he ignores the redness on his own face. He then turns and wraps his arms around her waist, drawing her closer. He then notices her shuddering as she shuts her eyes tight before opening them as she feels Naruto's hand cup her cheek. Gulping, she looks into his eyes and finds only care and warmth in his gaze. "What's wrong Mikoto-chan." She then takes a shuddering breath.
"It's... Just that I couldn't control myself just now." She opens her eyes to show that they're shiny and wet. "I just violated you. I was..." She's cut off as Naruto gives her a short kiss. Pulling away, Naruto simply smiles.
"Actually... you didn't. I was awake the whole time, ever since you woke up and stiffened." He then leans in closer and smirks. "Besides... I wanted to see what you would do if given the chance." He then frowns as he notices her looking away. "What's really eating you Mikoto-chan?" She then sighs and looks down.
"It's just..." She then sighs again before slowly shaking her head. "All of this seems almost like a dream you know? I... I haven't slept with anyone, in a sexual way or otherwise, in years." She then looks up at him with sadness in her eyes. "The closest I've come was when me and you would have a nap in the training grounds before I headed back... The last time that fucking teme Fugaku even shared a bed with me was when Sasuke was conceived... After that? He just slept in a separate bed to me..." She then starts to shake as tears run from her eyes as everything that's happened and still is finally catches up with her. Naruto just watches on sadly.
'Mikoto-chan...' Gently, he pulls her into a hug as he whispers into her ears. "It's okay Mikoto-chan... I'm here for you... Let it all out." She then grips onto his shirt and starts to sob in to his chest.
"All... all I've ever wanted... was... to be... loved... Not... looked at as a piece of meat... or a breeding factory... but... I..." She then shudders a little before continuing. "I... had a taste of that when I was on my Genin team... With Minato and Ibiki..." She notices Naruto stiffening and looks up. "... Naruto-kun?" He just looks down at her in question.
"Mikoto-chan... did you know that Namikaze Minato was my Otou-san...?" She looks slightly shocked at this before shaking her head.
"No... I didn't." She then sighs. "I suspected it of course with how you looked. But... other than that? No." She then looks up at him. "Are you angry with me?" Naruto just softly smiles and shakes his head as one of his hands comes up and cups her cheek. As she leans into it he rubs her tears away with his thumb as she sighs.
"Of course not Mikoto-chan. At least you didn't know." He then shifts a little. "Anyways... you feeling any better?" She just nods and he shakes his head. "That's good... though I suspect that you'll be doing things like this more often as it sinks in." She just smiles as she lays back down.
'I... finally found him. The man who'll care for me.' She then looks back up and is about to say something when her stomach growls making her blush in embarrassment before huffing a little as Naruto laughs. "It's not funny! I haven't had anything to eat since... I died." Naruto sobers at that before nodding.
"Understood. What's say that me and you head over to the kitchen and I can make something up." Mikoto just blinks as she looks around and cocks her head to side.
"Where are we anyways Naruto-kun? Is this the Hospital?" Naruto just shakes his head at the question making her blink. "Then where are we?" He just takes a deep breath, but before he can answer another voice speaks up.
"You're in the Hospital wing of the Uzumaki-Potter compound." Both him and Mikoto jump a little and turn to see Hermione leaning against the doorframe copying Kakashi by having an eye-smile as her own lips are hidden behind a mask of bandages. She then pushes off of the frame before walking towards them. "We have you here until we can have a plan. If you suddenly turn up alive without any explanation then it'll cause questions..." She then narrows her eyes. "Questions that we can't answer. And that's not to mention that the Elders are likely to have you assassinated to keep their part in the Uchiha clan silent." Mikoto looks her over before raising an eyebrow.
"Sorry but... Who are you? I've never seen you in Konoha before." Hermione blinks before rubbing the back of her head.
"Sorry about that. I forgot that you wouldn't know who I am." She then holds out a hand to Mikoto. "Name's Granger Hermione. I'm an apprentice of Senju Tsunade and the Head Medic for the Uzumaki-Potter Compound." Blinking, Mikoto just shakes her head before grasping Hermione's hand and shaking it with a smile.
"Uchiha Mikoto." She's about to say more when Naruto interrupts them as he raises an eyebrow and crosses his arms.
"And since when are you Head Medic? I do believe that I never got that memo." Hermione just shrugs.
"I live here... and I'm the only medic here with any type of real frequency... so I'm Head Medic. it's just that simple." She then leans forwards and Naruto just knows that she has a vicious grin under her mask, "Why? You... want to make something of it I suppose?" Naruto just rapidly shakes his head causing her to smile as she pats him on the head. "Good boy. That's exactly what I thought." She then turns towards Mikoto and smiles. "And don't worry about any check-ups. I did one while you were sleeping and you're good to go." Mikoto just nods with a smile as she gets out of the bed and stands up before stretching. Hearing a choking noise, she looks behind her to see Naruto giving her an unseeing stare causing her to raise an eyebrow as she hears a giggle coming from Hermione. Before she can even say anything, Hermione speaks up. "I guess that you've forgotten that you're wearing a hospital gown? Must be pretty drafty." Blinking, Mikoto starts to go red as she reaches behind her and closes the back. Hermione then points at a pile of clothing on a nearby bed. "Kushina went and grabbed some of your clothing from your old house. Apparently, Sasuke never bothered to remove anything after your... death." Mikoto just nods as she grabs the clothing and heads into a nearby room. Closing the door, she divests herself of her gown and walks to a nearby mirror as she looks at herself in it.
'Hmm... Not looking too bad for someone waking up from a couple of years worth of sleep.' She then notices a small scar right above where her liver is and traces it with a frown as she narrows her eyes. 'That scar... that's where that teme stabbed me...' Shaking her head free, she continues her inspection as she places her hands on her hips and slowly runs them up her body. Reaching her breasts, she cups them making her sigh as she closes her eyes and imagine that it's Naruto holding them. After a few seconds, she shakes herself free of her daydream and mumbles to herself. "Time enough for that later." She then turns to her clothes (which consist of a pair of black bra and panties, a tight black shirt and jeans). She then smirks. "I guess that Kushina remembered my old hiding spot and found these." Finishing up, she twirls a little as she observes herself in the mirror with a smirk. 'Oh yeah, I just love these clothes!' She then snorts and shakes her head as she thinks about what the Uchiha would have thought. 'Probably have told me that they weren't "Proper" Uchiha clothing and that I wasn't to ever wear them again.' Still shaking her head, she walks out and grins as she notices Naruto's reaction before holding out a hand. "Well? Shall we head to breakfast?" Nodding, Naruto grasps her hand and intertwines his fingers with her own. Remembering something, Mikoto turns to Naruto. "Naruto-kun? Can I ask you a question?" He just nods. "I just remembered you mentioning a girl version of Sasuke last night... what did you mean?" Naruto sighs before rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's... complicated to say the least." Seeing the raised eyebrow, Naruto shrugs. "When me and nii-san were in Wave, we found this odd amulet. We could only read a little bit of an inscription on it and that's all. After what happened, Lily-Oba-san went looking for herself and found some stuff on it in an old note book that she had 'barrowed' from the Hogwarts' library." He then glances at her to see her nodding as he continues. "Turns out that it was created for a reason. You know how some noble families would find themselves with a female heir? And that up to even fifty years ago males were more desired?" Mikoto just nods.
"Of course I do Naruto-kun. Being the wife to the Clan Head, I knew quite a bit of things about upper society." She then snorts in derision, all too familiar with the sentiment. "And the Uchiha clan STILL thought the same way on females as what they did a hundred years ago." She then looks at Naruto with a raised eyebrow. "But what does that have anything to do with the amulet?" Naruto just slowly smiles, having missed discussing things with Mikoto.
"Actually... it has everything to do with that type of attitude." He then sighs as he shakes his head. "You see... many years ago, a noble's wife gave birth to a girl. But that had left her unable to have any more children. Because the Otou-san wanted a boy, he turned to a powerful sorcerer. He asked the sorcerer to create a way for him to have a male heir. The sorcerer created the amulet." He then raises a finger at her as she listens. "Now this is where it gets weird. You know the basis for Yin-Yang, right?" Mikoto nods.
"Yes. It represents how we each of a little bit of our opposite in us to create balance. The most good person has a little bit of evil in them... or that every male has a little bit of feminity. Why?" Naruto just smirks.
"And that was what the amulet was designed to do. It would separate Yin from Yang. It would then use the person's energy to replace what was lost as well as creating a new person, one who would be of the opposite sex. When the amulet separated, it started the process for me, Sasuke, and Harry-nii. In this case, it created female copies of us." He then smiles at Mikoto. "Kaa-san already gave her the name of Natsume since it's close to Naruto so as to not confuse her as much." Naruto then becomes thoughtful as a saddened expression crosses his face. "Apparently... Tou-san and Kaa-san were going to name their first daughter that..." Mikoto nods with a slightly sad smile before she perks up.
"Wait a second Naruto-kun! They do have a daughter." Seeing his confusion, she lays a hand on his shoulder. "Even if she... er, came from you, she's still their daughter in a sense." Thinking it over... Naruto nods with a smile.
"Thank you Mikoto-chan... I needed to hear that from someone..." He then sees someone walking towards them who stops. "And as to your... daughter... I think you should meet her." Seeing her confused look, he points down the hallway to where there is a young teenage girl standing. The first thing that catches Mikoto's eyes is the bluish tint of her black hair as well as the dark eyes and pale skin. Blinking a little, she realizes what Naruto meant and her eyes widen comically. She then takes first one step forwards and then another until she's standing in front of the nervous looking girl. Slowly, she reaches out with her shaky hands and places them on her shoulders.
"Are... are you who I think that you are..." The girl just hangs her head and nods, only for Mikoto to place a finger under her chin and raise it so that she's looking her in the eye. A small tear runs down Mikoto's cheek as her hand comes up and cups the side of the girl's face. She then begins to speak, her voice full of emotion. "I... I have a daughter..." The girl also tears up before gripping onto Mikoto as if she was going to disappear.
"Okaa-san!" The two Uchiha women just hold onto each other. After a little bit, Mikoto separates from the hug. She then smiles before it falls as she notices that Naruto's nowhere in the vicinity, Catching the frown, the girl does so as well. "Okaa-san? Something the matter?" Mikoto just nods as she looks around.
"Yeah... I can't find Naruto-kun anywhere... do you know where he went... Er, I didn't catch your name?" The girl just giggles a little before shaking her head.
"That's because I didn't give it to you Okaa-san." She then sighs as she looks away. "I actually don't have one since I didn't want one until you chose for me. But everyone calls me Sasu at the moment." She then gains a look of distaste as she shakes her head. "I don't really like it since it's too similar to that teme's." Mikoto just nods as she looks her newest daughter over before nodding with a smile.
"Well then, how abut we call you Satsuna then? I've always had that name in my head in case I ever had a girl." Mumbling to herself, the girl thinks it over before smiling and nodding at her mother. Mikoto then takes a breath. "So do you know where Naruto-kun got to then?" Satsuna gives her a small smile before answering.
"He left when you were staring at me. I think that he wanted to give us a little time for ourselves." Satsuna then blushes slightly as she thinks of the blond shinobi causing Mikoto to raise an eyebrow before she starts to grin.
'Oh-ho! Well I see that someone's got a little crush on someone... Hmm?' her grin if anything widens. "Well, well! Lookie here, seems like Okaa-san like daughter after all!" Satsuna then blushes heavily for a moment before something that Mikoto said catches up with her.
'Wait a moment... what did she mean by "Like Okaa-san like daughter...?' She then looks surprised as she whips her head around and asks her a silent question to which Mikoto just nods, a small blush on her face as well. 'Okaa-san... likes Naruto-kun as well...?' Mikoto just smiles before placing a hand on her shoulder and guiding her towards where she suspects that Naruto went to. As she's walking, she observes her daughter (who has a figure somewhere between Hinata and Ino) before softly smiling. They continue to chat in soft tones until they finally reach Naruto, who's leaning against a wall. Satsuna seems to glow with happiness as she catches sight of Naruto, though she also becomes slightly shy as well. Mikoto notices this and raises an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Satsuna-chan... why are you acting like my son did when he was eight? From what I heard of him, your acting completely different." Satsuna freezes at this before sighing as she shakes her head.
"I should have figured that this would be asked eventually." Taking a breath, she notices that Naruto is also listening. "You see... I've actually been around in one form or another for years... I was, in fact, 'Born' as it were after Sasuke woke up from the coma that Itachi's Tsukiyomi put him in. Even though I'm sure that he didn't mean it, he did cause Sasuke's original mind to shatter. I was formed from a shard of his original mind." Naruto raises an eyebrow in surprise at this.
"Really! Huh. Didn't expect that. So you were born from a shard of Sasuke's mind?" Satsuna slowly nods.
"Yes. You see, after the Massacre, Sasuke buried as much of his original personality as possible, leaving him with the personality of a cold fish." She giggles a little at this before once more becoming serious. "He also buried memories of some of his... happier times as well as some of his morals. From that, I formed. I was his... conscious, for lack of better words." She then looks at Naruto with a smile. "In fact, I was that part of him that truly saw you as a friend. I moved his body into the way of Haku's attack back in Wave Country." Naruto looks shocked at that, but Satsuna holds up a hand. "Let me finish." Naruto just nods for her to continue. "When Sasuke gained the Cursed Seal, I tried fighting back. But..." She just sighs and shakes her head. "I lost. Sasuke, along with the Curse Seal, buried me even farther into his psyche. And the corruption from the seal was slowly eating away at me." She then smirks. "I wasn't fully aware yet, but then something happened... something wonderful." Seeing the sparkle of understanding enter Naruto's eyes, her smirk grows. "Just before a bridge in Tea Country, a pulse of energy hit Sasuke and began to separate his Yin from his Yang. I somehow instinctively sensed a way to survive and latched onto what would become what I am now, a female version of Sasuke." She then frowns. "Unfortunately, what this also means is that, unlike Natsume and whoever comes from Harry, I am half of his soul and that we still have a connection of sorts. And that eventually... when one of us dies, the other half will merge with the one that's alive." Naruto just lays a hand on her shoulder and squeezes it as he can understand where she's coming. He then nods.
"I had a similar talk with Natsume. Turns out that all those times that I hid using the Oroike no jutsu slowly created a female persona. And that she, too, is partially formed from bits and pieces of my personality that I've buried in myself over the years. And you're right, the difference is that me and Natsume don't share a soul like you and teme do, Sasu-" He gets cut off right there as Satsuna lays a finger on his lips with a smile.
"I have a much better name that's been given to me by my Okaa-san, Naruto-kun." She then lightly blushes. "She's named me Satsuna." Naruto just gives her a soft smile while nodding.
"Very well... Satsuna-chan." She lightly blushes at this and looks away with a coy expression on her face causing Mikoto to chuckle. Naruto then notices that a nearby stairwell and guides the two female Uchiha up it until they reach the floor needed. Naruto then opens the door, but is knocked to the floor as a red blur shoots out and glomps Mikoto, knocking her to the floor as well. Shaking his head to clear it, Naruto's helped up by Satsuna. He then groans. "What in the hell just hit me?" With a deadpan expression, she points at a dazed Mikoto who currently has Kushina nuzzling her as well as straddling her. Naruto just blinks at this before backhanding Jiraiya, who had been writing in a notebook. And then, without looking, catches the falling notebook and lights it on fire with Kitsune-bi. Jiraiya begins to cry before noticing a pissed off Naruto standing over him, cracking his knuckles. "Seems that someone just won't listen when I tell them not to do anything pervertive that involves my Kaa-san... Guess that I'm going to have to teach you the hard way..." He then begins pounding on Jiraiya as Kushina continues to nuzzle an annoyed Mikoto who sighs and shakes her head.
"Why is it every time that you greet me, you greet me like this Kushi-chan? Every time." Kushina just sits up while still straddling her and taps her chin in mock thought before shrugging with a foxy grin on her face.
"Why? Because one, it's funny as hell to see your expression... And two?" Kushina slowly bends down until it looks like she's doing something as she whispers into Mikoto's ear, making her blush. "It's funny to see how other people react Miko-chan..." Mikoto then looks behind Kushina to see several people watching and blushing as they see Kushina practically cover the female Uchiha. Playfully scowling, Mikoto pushes a squawking Kushina off her before sitting up and shaking a finger at her.
"That's quite enough out of you Kushi-chan." She then points at Naruto with a smirk. "And then what would your dear son think if he saw us in that position?" Kushina just grins before disappearing and then reappearing behind Naruto. She then kisses him on the cheek before laying her chin on his shoulder as her eyes twinkle as her arms encircle his waist.
"Why... He'd be happy to see to hot MILFs basically making out in front of each other. And probably get really turned on as well." Naruto just rolls his eyes before smacking Kushina in the back of her head causing her to yelp before rubbing where he hit. "Itai..." The other people just go back in and eventually it's just Mikoto and Kushina outside. Kushina is about to go in herself when she jumps a bit into the air as she feels someone pinch her ass. "Eep!" Turning, she gives a smirking Mikoto a glare as she heavily blushes before going in with a huff while mumbling about goosing technique stealing Uchiha women. Entering the cafeteria, Mikoto's mouth starts to water as she's assaulted by the smells of a delicious breakfast. She then notices several other people walking around, some of whom surprise her before she shakes her head.
'I really shouldn't be so surprised you know... Naruto-kun did tell me about the other people who live and visit here.' Noticing a table with several metal bins on it, she walks over and sees that they're all filled with breakfast foods with plates and bowls beside them. She then taps her chin in thought as she talks to herself. "Huh... This actually looks good. But I wonder if they ever have any left over after breakfast?" She jumps a little as she hears a voice beside her.
"Oh, there's always some left over afterwards, but Shizune-san takes it with her to the Hokage Tower and snacks on it along with Tsunade for the rest of the day." Blinking at the familiar sounding voice, Mikoto turns to see a red haired woman with ruby colored eyes standing behind her with a smile. Raising an eyebrow, Mikoto gives her a small nod.
"Do I... know you? You seem awfully... familiar." The woman giggles some before saying that she'll give her a hint. Crossing her arms, Mikoto playfully smirks. "Fine what's the hint?" Still grinning, the woman points at the top of her head. Blinking, Mikoto looks herself. 'Huh! What do you know? Those look like... fox... EARS!' She then looks at the woman's waist to see nine tails waving to and fro. Her mouth dry, Mikoto just stutters a bit. "Wha... What? Kyuu... Kyuubi-chan! You're free!" Kyuubi just smiles as she draws Mikoto into a hug.
"Hai... in a sense anyways..." Drawing back some, Kyuubi gives her a soft smile before hugging her tightly again. "It's so good to see you alive and talking again Mikoto-chan." Mikoto just smiles as she returns the hug. After a bit, Kyuubi pulls away and gestures at the food. "Well? Aren't you going to have some?" A few minutes later finds a beaming Mikoto and Kyuubi walking towards a table when Kyuubi lays a hand on Mikoto's shoulder, guiding her to where Naruto's sitting. She then guides her to sit down on one side of Naruto while she sits on the other. Once they're done, Kyuubi clears her throat to get Mikoto's attention. "Mikoto-chan? I need to tell you something important." Now intrigued, Mikoto nods for her to continue. "As I'm sure Naruto-kun has told you, me and the other women in his life take turns sleeping in his bed." Mikoto nods at this, slightly confused. "Well, last night me and the others had a meeting about you and we made a decision..." Mikoto sighs and looks down.
'I should have guessed they would have...' Sighing again, Mikoto looks up. "And what is your decision Kyuubi-chan? What nights do I get?" Kyuubi just chuckles causing her to raise an eyebrow. "What's so amusing?" Kyuubi just shakes her head.
"You are Mikoto-chan." She then gives the female Uchiha a smile. "As we all well know Mikoto-chan, if you hadn't been gone for so long and your little plan worked, then you'd have likely have become Naruto-kun's girlfriend about the same time as Hinata-chan... And don't you deny it!"Mikoto doesn't, she only looks away with a large blush on her face.
"And... what does this have anything to do with the discussion Kyuubi-chan?" Kyuubi's smile grows larger as she chuckles again.
"We all decided that you had some catching up to do is all." Seeing Mikoto's confusion, Kyuubi shakes her head. "A number of the Kunoichi have missions that sometimes means that they won't be able to use their nights. Normally, I would take over for those and they would take mine. But in this case... I wouldn't mind sharing those nights with you so that your relationship can progress at a faster rate... if you'd like?" Mikoto just nods as she realizes what they're doing before speaking in a quiet voice.
"Thank you..."
00000000000000000 Later that night 00000000000000000000
Having spent the day reacquainting herself with some of those that she knew, Mikoto finally gathers up her clothing before making her way to where Naruto's suite is. Upon reaching it, she knocks on the door and seconds later a dishevelled looking Kyuubi opens it. Seeing who's there, she smiles as she gestures her inside. Walking inside, Mikoto takes a moment to look around before turning to Kyuubi and having her jaw drop as she notices that she's naked. Kyuubi for her part just raises an eyebrow. "What?" Mikoto just shakes her head before gesturing at the Kitsune.
"What? WHAT?" She then shakes her head in disbelief. "You're naked! That's what!" Looking down, Kyuubi shrugs before with a hand gesture, she's once more clothed in her red sleeping gown.
"Sorry about that Mikoto-chan. It's just that me and Naruto-kun just finished with our... nightly activities." Mikoto goes fire engine red as she imagines what those "Activities" were. A moment later she shakes her head in exasperation before throwing up her hands theatrically.
"That's it! I give up!" She then smiles at Kyuubi. "Please! Just take me now!" Kyuubi giggles at this before a foxy grin comes over her face.
"As you wish Miko-chan..." Mikoto is about to say something when she finds herself unable to as Kyuubi pulls her close, making her blush. Kyuubi then brings her lips closer and closer to Mikoto's own until... "Psyche!" Kyuubi then pulls back with a huge grin before winking at her. "Bet I had you there for a moment, eh?" Kyuubi then shakes her head and chuckles. "I'm betting that you've never even been with a woman before let alone know what to... do..." Kyuubi trails off as she notices Mikoto looking away before her eyes widen. "Wha... Who?" Mikoto is silent for a moment before sighing.
"Promise that you won't laugh or anything?" Kyuubi just nods. "It was... Kami, this is sooo embarrassing!" Taking a calming breath, Mikoto looks Kyuubi in the eye. "It was... Kushina." Kyuubi's jaw drops and almost hits the floor at that. Mikoto's lips twitch for a moment before she starts chewing them as Kyuubi asks when and why. "When? Well... we were both fourteen at the time. And as to why?" Mikoto just shakes her head. "At the time I found out that I was engaged to that asshole who became my husband and it was my own way of rebelling. As to Kushina? She was frustrated with how dense Minato was being. We had been friends for a few years and it's not exactly uncommon for kunoichi to find comfort in their fellow female ninja. What with our lives and all. So it was just a way to vent and let our frustrations out. And before you even ask, we did tell Minato about it after him and Kushina got married." A sly grin comes over Mikoto's face as she chuckles. "That was the only time I actually saw him speechless... well, that is until he rocketed back into the wall from a nosebleed." She then seems to sadden. "There was another with us as well though... A mutual friend. She disappeared on a mission unfortunately..." She then whips around and blushes as she hears a cough. There in the doorway is Naruto, clad only in his boxers and chuckling.
"Well now... Guess that explains things." He then grins. "Seems that once you have a taste of an Uzumaki, nothings ever quite the same." He then gestures into the room. "Well? Aren't you coming in?" Mikoto just asks if he'll wait there for her and a few minutes later walks in with Kyuubi beside her. Naruto begins to blush at the sight of her sleeping wear, which is nothing more than a large tee-shirt over her panties. She blushes too as she can see how it's affecting him. She then looks away.
"Normally... I would wear less than this, but... I'm just not that comfortable yet." Naruto just nods as Kyuubi slips in besides him. Mikoto then gets in and the three cover themselves in blankets. Mikoto then feels Naruto's arm slip around her waist and looks over as he leans towards her. She then smiles as she softly kisses him. After a few moments, she feels his tongue running along her lips and she hesitantly opens her mouth to engage him in a tongue duel. A few minutes later they break apart with Mikoto practically panting before she grins and kisses Naruto on the nose. "Thanks Naruto-kun, now THAT'S what I call a goodnight kiss." She then snuggles in and sighs as she lays her head on one shoulder while watching Kyuubi and Naruto do what her and Naruto were just doing. The three then slowly drift off to sleep, smiles on their faces...

Steve: Well, that's it for the first chapter of the new update. Hope that you all enjoyed it.
Yui: At least it answered some questions, like whether or not Sirius is alive... what is with that smirk?
Steve: And what, exactly, do you think is going to happen to him when Harry finds out that not only is he alive, but has been for several months. And not only that! But also he never bothered to get in contact with Harry and let him know.
Pen-pen: (Winces) Wark! Waar r aark a waarrk warrk war ark...(Ouch! Even I feel a little sorry for him...)
Hinata: Same here.
Steve: Yeah, you just know that it won't be pretty.
Hinata: Um... Steve-san, I have a question...
Steve" You do? Shoot.
HInata: Why did you... um... have Mikoto-san and Kushina-san... er...
Steve: Why did I say that they were at one point together? (Hinata nods) Well, because that I can see Kunoichi doing that for one. Especially if their close and young. Two, it's going to lead to a little something a bit later, but not between Kushina and Mikoto. And finally... "Getting Lucky in the corner" is one of my favourite fics. Even though it's a one-shot.
Pen-pen: "Waarrkk Warrk wa war Waarkk"? Wark waar war ark waar arr Waarrkk war Warrkk waarkk ark... ("Getting Lucky in the Corner"? Isn't that the one that has Kushina and Mikoto having sex...)
Steve: In Mikoto's kitchen while they're in their first trimester with Sasuke and Naruto? Yup. (Wipes some blood from his nose) It's a really good one and shows their characters well. And that's where I got the idea for Mikoto stealing Kushina's Goosing technique from. But unlike in that fic, the two of them stopped once Kushina got together with Minato in this one.
Everyone: DAMN!
Steve: My words exactly. Well, onto the next chapter! See you all there!
