Three weeks later Itachi was hovering over Sasuke who was now getting sick every five minutes. Sasuke was doing just fine until this morning, but when Sasuke woke up this morning he ended up racing to the bathroom with Itachi following close behind. After Sasuke was done throwing up Itachi took him into the kitchen to get him something to settle his stomach. Pein came in to see Sasuke with his head down on the table, looking miserable.
"What's wrong with you?" Pein asked not really wanting to catch anything.
"Don't know, but it sucks" Sasuke groaned as his stomach started to get upset again.
"If your sick go to Kakuzu to get some medicine" Pein said earning a glare from Sasuke.
"I'd rather die before going to that bastard for help with anything" Sasuke hissed earning a surprised look from Pein.
"You're awfully pissy this morning" Pein said sitting down with his usual bowl of cereal.
"You would be too if you just spent the morning throwing up" Sasuke grumbled as Itachi came back in and gave him a glass of soda.
"Just sip at it, it should help with whatever is causing your nausea" Itachi said sitting beside him.
"Sasuke is sick?" Konan asked going over to Sasuke and checking his temperature. Sakura came over and checked his pulse calmly.
"It's probably just morning sickness" Sakura said calmly as she checked to see what he was drinking.
"Well they named it right then" Sasuke grumbled as he took another sip of his soda.
"Actually if that's what it is you'll just get random bouts of nausea" Sakura said apologetically.
"When will it go away?" Sasuke asked miserably.
"There's no way to tell really, it's different for everyone, there's no way to tell when it will start or stop, but it may not stop until you have the baby" Sakura said sympathetically.
"Why are you glaring at me?" Itachi asked as he looked over at Sasuke.
"Because I hate you right now, why can't you be the one to get sick" Sasuke snapped still glaring at Itachi.
Konan looked at Sasuke in shock, she thought they were getting along a lot better, and then over at Itachi who wasn't fazed by Sasuke saying he hated him.
"He'll start crying later and apologize, that started yesterday" Itachi said casually as he nodded off a bit.
"You seem a little tired Itachi" Konan said watching him try to stay awake.
"By the entire morning he means he's been thowing up since about 1 in the morning" Itachi said groggily.
"Wow, why didn't you come and get me and Sakura we would have helped" Konan said rubbing Sasukes back a bit.
"I've been more worried about making it to the bathroom before I threw up everywhere else" Sasuke said as he laid his head back down on the table.
"Just don't throw up on me" Pein said going back to his cereal.
"You could be a little more sensitive Pein" Konan scolded as she glared over at him.
"I wasn't going to throw up on anyone, but keep talking and you'll become a target" Sasuke growled as he glared up at Pein.
"It's really too bad you're pregnant, the more I see of your fire the more suited you seem to join our group" Pein said with a smirk.
"I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or if you're just making fun of me" Sasuke grumbled glaring at Pein.
"A little of both actually, I really would want you to go out on missions if you weren't pregnant but this is rather amusing too, it's like I'm getting revenge without having to do anything" Pein said as he put his bowl in the sink and left.
"I really don't like him" Sasuke mumbled as he watched him leave, causing Itachi to laugh.
Kakashi and Naruto came into the room and paused when they saw Sasuke resting his head on the table while the girls fussed over him and Itachi was trying to stay awake next to him.
"What's going on in here?" Kakashi asked cautiously while still watching Sasuke.
Sasuke bolted up and ran from the room, closely followed by Itachi and they came back a short while later with Itachi helping Sasuke into his seat and going to get him more soda.
"Get him crackers too, salty ones, it could help" Sakura yelled.
"We think he has morning sickness" konan said rubbing Sasukes back.
"Wow that sucks, but it's kind of exciting too isn't it, I mean now you know that the pregnancy is progressing normally" Naruto said rushing over to Sasuke and putting his hand on his stomach.
"Don't touch my stomach Naruto, and shut up, that doesn't really make me feel any better" Sasuke said glaring at Naruto.
"What's going on in here?" Zetsu asked as he walked in.
"Morning sickness" Sakura said without looking away from Sasuke.
Zetsu turned and left the room without a word and got a few glares from Kakashi and Konan. A couple minutes later Zetsu came back in and went over to Sasuke pushing Sakura aside a bit.
"Here take this" Zetsu said as he handed Sasuke a small pill.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked warily.
"It'll settle your stomach, but it's only temporary" Zetsu said putting the pill into Sasukes hand.
Sasuke shrugged and took the pill, getting shocked looks from Konan and the others.
"I didn't poison him, it really will help his stomach so stop glaring like that Konan" Zetsu said with amusement as he went into the kitchen to get a drink.
"You could have asked more about that pill before taking it, you trust people way too easily" Konan scolded as she watched him carefully to make sure he was alright.
"He likes me, I don't think he's going to kill me" Sasuke said laying his head back on the table.
"How do you know he likes you?" Sakura asked surprised.
"He's told me several times and he's had plenty of opportunities to kill me already" Sasuke said casually.
"I don't think Zetsu would try to poison him, he was the one who helped him the day we found out that this wasn't reversible" Itachi said handing Sasuke the soda and crackers.
"Wow, he must really like you" Konan said tho she didn't look to sure about it.
They went into the living room and thankfully no one was there yet. Tobi came in a few minutes later to find Sasuke half asleep on the couch and Itachi was off getting him something. Tobi went over and looked down at Sasuke curiously.
"You know usually people sleep in their rooms" Tobi said, tho he sounded a bit different from usual.
"I'm waiting for Itachi to get back so I can go back to our room" Sasuke replied.
"Well why don't you just go back on your own?" Tobi asked with forced cheerfulness.
"Why are you trying to act all cheerful when you're really not right now?" Sasuke asked looking up at him questioningly.
"You really should mind your own business on that Sasuke" Tobi said dropping his cheerful act.
"Well take your own advice then, I don't see why being cheerful all the time is so important to you tho" Sasuke muttered as he turned over on the couch.
"Well that's cause I don't want to make people suspicious about who I really am, do you want to know who I am?" Tobi asked leaning closer to Sasuke.
"If you want me to know then fine, but I really don't care right now" Sasuke said clutching his stomach.
"Well maybe you should care" Tobi said his tone changing completely and putting Sasuke on alert.
"What is up with you? I thought I was the only one with mood swings around here?" Sasuke said turning to watch Tobi cautiously.
"So I have mood swings, you're the last person who should judge me on that" Tobi said putting his hands on either side of Sasukes body and leaning closer.
"You're getting way too close, haven't you ever heard of personal space?" Sasuke asked trying to push tobi away.
"I'm starting to see why everyone likes you so much, even my other side likes you" Tobi said thoughtfully, tho it still sounded threatening.
Sasuke froze at this and looked up at Tobi in confusion before remembering what Itachi had said, Itachi had told him that if Tobis other side ever came out around him to run. Sasuke tried to push Tobi away but he grabbed Sasukes wrists and pinned them over his head before sitting on his legs. Sasuke struggled to get loose and not panic while Tobi lifted his shirt a bit.
"Still not showing huh?" Tobi said thoughtfully as he rubbed Sasukes stomach.
"What the hell Tobi? Get off" Sasuke yelled as he tried to throw him off.
"Your in no position to make demands, and you may not like the outcome if you keep struggling like that" Tobi said with a smirk.
"Why? What are you going to do hit me?" Sasuke snarled still trying to get Tobi off of him.
"I may if you don't hold still, I don't always like working for it, but in your case I might make an exception" Tobi said leaning over Sasuke.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked tugging on his arms again.
"You're a smart boy figure it out" Tobi whispered in his ear.
Sasuke wasn't sure what was going on with Tobi or what he wanted but there was something really off about him, Tobi had always acted like a goofy friend to Sasuke.
"Ok so I'm starting to realize that you aren't really Tobi, so why don't you at least tell me who you are?" Sasuke said calmly.
"You figured it out faster than Itachi did the first time he saw my other side" Tobi said chuckling.
"Yeah well I figure that I just have to hold you off until he gets back since I can't really fight right now" Sasuke said without thinking.
"I've noticed, it was far too easy to overpower you" Tobi said with sadistic glee.
"Shut up, at least I'm not acting like a crazy person" Sasuke snapped, damn he needed to start thinking about his responses.
"So how mad would Itachi be to come in and find his baby brother being taken advantage of?" Tobi asked as his hand slid down Sasukes stomach.
Sasukes eyes widened and he watched Tobis hand, although it wasn't Tobi, Tobi was the goofy guy that didn't even know where babies came from or why people kissed, or so he said.
"What are you doing? Have you completely lost your mind?" Sasuke yelled starting to struggle against Tobis hold again.
"Maybe, but I figure that I lost it at the perfect time, I've got a sexy little boy under me that's just helpless to stop me from doing whatever I want" Tobi said as his hand went further down.
Sasuke was about to call for help when Tobi released him and was thrown off of him. Konan and Sakura were at his side in an instant and Sasuke saw Zetsu glaring in the direction that he had just thrown Tobi.
"Are you ok? Where's Itachi? Why are you in here alone in your state?" Konan asked fussing over him and making sure nothing was hurt.
"I'm fine, but thanks for the rescue" Sasuke said looking up at Zetsu.
"You should stay with either me or Itachi from now on, especially since Tobis other side has taken a unique liking to you" Zetsu said as he came over and helped Sasuke up.
"What do you mean by his other side? Was that really the same goofy Tobi from yesterday?" Sasuke asked starign in disbelief at where Tobi was a second ago.
"He has two personalities, the more dangerous one hardly ever comes out unless there is something that it wants, so you should be careful around him, do not be left alone with him" Zetsu said in a demanding tone.
"So that wasn't normally what his other side would do, or is it, and what does it want from me?" Sasuke asked thoroughly confused.
"No, it's not normal even for his more evil side, which is why it's so dangerous since nobody knows what he'll do with you" Zetsu said seriously.
"Ugh, there are too many different personalities in this place to keep up with" Sasuke groaned falling back into the couch with a sigh.
"I'm not sure if I should take offense to that" "Are you forgetting there's two sides to the person who just saved you?" Zetsu said his split personalities talking at the same time again
"I'm not that worried about you, you always say what your about to do, he doesn't he just did it" Sasuke explained casually.
"I guess I'll take that one as a compliment" Zetsu said uncertainly.
"It means I certainly like you more than Tobi right now" Sasuke said as he closed his eyes.
Itachi came in with some more soda and crackers and paused when he saw everyone gathered around Sasuke.
"What happened, are you ok Sasuke?" Itachi asked setting the items down on the table to check on him.
"Yeah, just got to meet Tobis other side, creepy" Sasuke muttered.
"Creepy?" Itachi asked slightly confused.
"He wouldn't tell me what he went by and he was acting creepy so whenever he comes out, that's what I'll call him" Sasuke said with a shrug as he reached for the soda.
"You really can't help yourself can you?" Itachi asked in exasperation.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked looking up at him.
"You always try to annoy and provoke the people that you don't like or don't trust, it's a dangerous habit, if I hadn't actually cared what happened to you I would have killed you the first time you called me ane (big sister, for those who don't recognize it) after I beat you" Itachi said making everyone laugh.
"You asked for that when you started bitching about how I messed up your hair and how it would take forever to untangle it now, I actually thought I had been lied to and just had a really flat chested ane instead of an extremely girly aniki" Sasuke said with a smirk.
"You have no room to talk right now Sasuke, I'm not the one that's pregnant, and last time I checked only girls got pregnant" Itachi said glaring at Sasuke.
"I can also make you do whatever I want since your chasing after me like a love sick puppy" Sasuke teased, not really fazed by Itachis insult.
"You might want to be careful, you're pregnant so I can't beat you but I can still embarrass you beyond belief Sasuke" Itachi said with a glare.
"How could you top getting me pregnant?" Sasuke snapped, everyone had started to back up a bit now as they started bickering.
"Easily, I have so many good stories about when you were a child, particularly when you first tried to show father your progress on fire jutsu" Itachi said with a grin
"Go ahead I have a lot more on you than you think, like the reason you and shisui really stopped talking for a month" Sasuke said laughing when Itachi grimaced.
"There's no way you could know about that, you weren't anywhere near us" Itachi said in shock
"Really? I was in the water swimming under the dock, I saw it thru the cracks" Sasuke said with an evil smirk.
"I would have sensed you" Itachi said confidently.
"I had just finished training and my chakra was incredibly low, that's when I could always sneak up on you at home, since you couldn't sense me then" Sasuke replied still smirking.
"Very well, you win this time, but only because I can't bring myself to knock you across the room while your still pregnant" Itachi growled, he didn't like losing a fight with Sasuke, tho he knew that bringing up the pregnancy had somewhat tainted Sasukes victory.
"Would you stop making a point of saying that I'm pregnant you jackass" Sasuke snapped with a glare.
"Why? I think it's kinda sexy that my kid is growing in you" Itachi said smirking at Sasuke.
"I'm starting to understand why you never had any dates when we were younger" Sasuke growled.
"I always blamed it on having a brother with a duck butt haircut, I still can't believe it grew like that naturally" Itachi said looking at Sasuke like he was strange.
"Really I thought he cut it like that" Sakura said looking closer at Sasuke.
"Nope, it's natural his bangs grew faster than his hair and we got tired of trying to even it out so we just gave it the best style we could and he apparently decided to keep it that way" Itachi said casually.
"It's the easiest style to maintain, and it must not be that bad since I apparently looked good enough for you to molest me" Sasuke said looking pointedly at Itachi.
"I think it looks nice now, but back then, you looked like a dork, didn't you ever wonder why you'd sometimes hear a quacking sound whenever you took a step in the house?" Itachi asked with a smirk.
"That was you? I thought it was dad" Sasuke yelled with a glare
"He did it too, but not in front of mom" Itachi said.
"Now I don't feel so bad about stressing him out so much" Sasuke grumbled.
"You shouldn't do that to your parents" Sakura said in a scolding manner.
"When the only acknowledgement you get from your father is to call you a sissy because you're not as good at fighting as your brother, you tend to want to get back at them for it" Sasuke said defensively.
"I keep forgetting what you used to do to make him have a nose bleed and yell about how god hated him" Itachi said thoughtfully trying to remember.
"I put on one of moms skirts and told him I was going to be a girl from now on and grow up to be a stripper" Sasuke said with a grin as he remembered his fathers reaction.
"Didn't he lock you in your room for that?" Itachi asked.
"Yep, and yelled at mom for laughing and telling me to do whatever made me happy" Sasuke said with a chuckle.
"Oh yeah, and I was told to train you and show you how to be more masculine" itachi said laughing at the memory.
"It didn't work tho, when you found out you gave me lipstick to make fun of me" Sasuke said with a smirk.
"I didn't think you'd put it on to eat dinner that night" Itachi said still laughing.
"Yeah that's when dad started yelling that god hated him and went to train for two days straight" Sasuke said laughing at the memory.
"Wow you were an interesting child" Konan said looking at Sasuke in surprise.
"It was a long time ago" Sasuke said with a hint of sadness.
"Life was never boring once he got to the age of 2, everything was interesting after that, and slightly annoying when he decided to follow me everywhere" Itachi said thoughtfully.
"I looked up to you back then, you were the cool genius brother who could kick anyones ass, and you saved me from the family freak when I was 5" Sasuke said with a shudder when he remembered that instance.
"Family freak?" Sakura said in confusion.
"I can't remember his name but one of the guys in our family took a big liking to me on my fifth birthday, it was the first and last time he was there since I was born, Itachi almost killed him" Sasuke said smiling at his brother.
"What happened?" Konan asked curiously.
"He took the birthday boy into a back room to give him a special present, I heard Sasuke scream and ran in to see him tying Sasuke to the bed while stripping him, I would have killed him but I was told not to and he was banished" Itachi replied
"Our mother cheered Itachi on to kill him and our father told him not to, he said it was bound to happen again as I grew up, something about how it was part of growing up, I think it's just because it was fathers friend" Sasuke said a little bitterly.
"Don't worry about it Sasuke, I ran into him again last year while on a mission, he was in the same shop as me and Kisame" Itachi said looking over at Sasuke.
"The only way that will make me feel better is if he's crippled or dying from a horrible disease" Sasuke grumbled.
"He was looking for you, said he wanted to see how beautiful his friends boy had grown while he was away" Itachi said as he watched Sasuke.
"Well thank god he never found me, I do remember how strong he was, I wouldn't have stood a chance" Sasuke said with a shudder.
"Well you don't have to worry, he had an unfortunate accident, somehow a kunai managed to get slowly shoved down his throat while he was tied to a tree, these things happen to dirty bastards who try to rape children" Itachi said with a shrug.
"Did you get your kunai back?" Sasuke asked with a smirk as everyone looked at them in shock, except Zetsu who was laughing about it.
"No, I decided to let him keep it, I did ruin his plans for the day, he was really looking forward to seeing you later that day" Itachi said with a smirk.
"I guess I owe you one for that" Sasuke said, glancing over at Itachi.
"I'll gladly remind you later when you're feeling a little better" Itachi said with a smirk.
"You're such a perv" Sasuke muttered sipping his soda again.
"So when is he supposed to start showing?" Zetsu asked curiously.
"Why would you ask that?" Sasuke asked looking at Zetsu in disbelief.
"Just curious" Zetsu replied looking at a confused Sakura.
"Umm, it'll be a few weeks, it's different for everyone and it also depends on how many babies there are" Sakura said a little flustered about being asked.
"How many? There's only one, that's all there can be" Sasuke said trying to convince himself as well as the others.
"Don't worry Sasuke, it's very rare to have twins unless it runs in your family, and besides yours is more experimental so I'm sure Kakuzu only put one egg to be fertilized in you" Sakura said reassuringly.
"Good cause if I have twins I'm killing Kakuzu and Itachi" Sasuke said a little shakily as he pressed his hand to his stomach reflexively.
"Why me?" Itachi yelled looking upset.
"For being potent enough to fertilize two eggs instead of just one, wear tighter underwear or something, you like guys so you shouldn't have to worry about your sperm count" Sasuke snapped.
"Your having another mood swing aren't you?" Itachi asked scooting away a bit.
"So what if I am, it's your damn fault! I should have kicked you in the nuts more when we were kids, bastard!" Sasuke yelled starting to cry at the end without even knowing why.
"That's a little harsh, and why are you crying?" Itachi asked going over to try to comfort him.
"I don't know and don't touch me!" Sasuke yelled smacking Itachi on the arm when he got close.
"Ow, violent little runt!" Itachi yelled.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you so hard" Sasuke yelled still crying.
"Ok, they haven't been this drastic before, is this normal" Itachi yelled looking at the girls in confusion.
"Yeah, it'll probably get worse too, since his body isn't used to the different hormones, it's not as bad with us cause we learn to deal with them whenever we have a period" Sakura explained.
"Those things are unnatural, nobody should be able to bleed for a week without dying" Itachi muttered earning a glare from both girls.
"Don't be such an ass Itachi!" Sasuke yelled smacking him on the arm again.
"Ow ok fine I'm sorry" Itachi said leaning away from Sasuke warily as everyone laughed at his reaction.
This was probably a strange chapter but it was meant to let Sasuke and Itachi bond and to explain a little of what Sasuke is going thru. All the info about the pregnancy is true, I looked it all up to confirm it. So now the crucial questions of randomness! What will happen next? When will we pick up the story next time? Will Itachi and Sasuke become even closer? Will Sasuke consider naming the kid after Narutos favorite ramen choice? We'll find out later. Hope you guys liked this chapter. Please review and tell me what you think.
