They went back to the base in silence as Sasuke and Itachi just kept shooting glares at eachother and Shikamaru watched them with mild curiosity and amusement, it was obvious that they liked eachother, Sasuke also noticed that Shikamaru was watching him closely as if waiting for something to happen that would explain all of this. They finally got back to the base and Sasuke heard a familiar voice calling him frantically and groaned, he really didn't want to deal with this right now.
"You really should answer him Sasuke" Itachi said with a sadistic smirk.
"Don't you dare" Sasuke growled earning a smirk from Sasori and Itachi and a curious look from Shikamaru.
"Monkey, he's over here" Itachi called as Sasuke began to cuss him out and try to strangle him, Sasori was holding him back with chakra strings.
"SASUKE! We've been looking everywhere for you Konan came back, she was able to get an ultrasound thingy to see the baby, is it still moving, it's so awesome" Naruto yelled as he sat on Sasuke and pressed his hands to his stomach.
"Dobe, if you don't get off of me in the next five seconds I'm telling Sakura about when you used her bras for target practice" Sasuke growled making Naruto stop.
"I didn't' know what they were at the time, that's not fair" Naruto whined as he grudgingly got off of Sasuke and Kakashi helped Sasuke to stand up.
"Sasuke, you're wanted in the living room, they have the machine hooked up and everything is ready, Itachi is supposed to go as well" Kakashi said, neither of them noticing that Shikamaru was there yet.
"You got a girl pregnant?" Shikamaru asked as he glared at Sasuke.
"No I did not get a girl pregnant" Sasuke snapped as Naruto and Kakashi looked over at him.
"Shika! When did you get here?" Naruto asked with a confused look.
"Hello Shikamaru, it's good to see you in one piece" Kakashi said with a small sympathetic smile.
Sasuke was grumbling something about having more privacy with a snake and Shikamaru and Naruto were both looking at him as if he was crazy.
"What about a snake?" Naruto asked curiously as he went over to Sasuke.
"I had more privacy and freedom with Orochimaru and he put a fucking blender in my gut to force me to stay there and had Kabuto trying to take naked pictures of me" Sasuke yelled angrily.
"Whatever you say Sasuke, let go to the living room" Itachi said with a smirk, he knew that he was annoying Sasuke at the moment and it greatly amused him.
"No, you can go if you want I'm not going in there for anything" Sasuke growled, he didn't' want a bunch of people gathered around him while they tried to see inside his stomach.
"It wasn't a request, you're going to the living room and you will either do it willingly or you will be tied down to the couch for this, either way you aren't getting out of it" Pein said as he walked up to them with Zetsu.
"Over my dead body" Sasuke growled and tried to bolt down the hall as Pein sighed and turned to Zetsu.
"Zetsu, get him and take him to the living room" Pein said as he walked off, not even bothering to look at the new kid, Sasori knew what to do with him.
They could hear cursing and struggling down the hall and then just a muffled yelling as Sasuke was carried by, completely wrapped in vines and still trying to get away. Zetsu smirked as the vines carried him off and handed Sasori a bracelet to put onto Shikamaru before following Sasuke down the hall.
They got to the living room and Sasuke was on one of the couches with his hands and legs bound and pulled tight so he couldn't kick or hit anyone, he was glaring up at everyone with an intense hatred and Shikamaru was just looking at him as if he wanted to help but couldn't. Konan came in and saw Sasuke tied up on the couch and blinked a couple of times.
"Why is he tied down?" Konan asked carefully.
"He was being difficult" Pein said simple as Konan just shrugged and went over to him.
"Don't I get any say in this?" Sasuke yelled angrily as he tried to get loose again.
"Not this time Sasuke, we have to make sure everything is ok" Sakura said sympathetically as she came up to him with a small tube in her hand.
"You knew this was going to happen didn't you? That's why you took me outside today, you were trying to distract me" Sauske yelled as he glared at Itachi who just smirked back at him.
"Stop making such a big deal out of it Sasuke, you won't die from a little ultrasound" Itachi said as he glanced over at Naruto who was staring at the screen excitedly.
Shikamaru was just looking at all of them as if they were crazy, and then looked at Sasuke curiously.
"Is Sasuke sick or something?" Shikamaru asked sounding a little concerned.
"No, he has a baby" Naruto yelled excitedly, never looking away from the screen.
"Stop telling everyone about that usuratonkachi" Sasuke yelled angrily as he tried to get away again.
"You're being ridiculous about this Sasuke" Itachi scolded as he watched Sasuke struggle, he was a little worried that Sasuke was going to hurt himself.
"Kimi, help me out here, they're forcing me" Sasuke yelled looking up at her for help.
"Sorry Sasuke but I'm with them, we need to make sure everythings ok and I want to see the baby" Kimi said with a grin as Sasuke gave her a death glare.
"You're enjoying this way too much, I've saved you from humiliating positions before, you owe me" Sasuke yelled as he glared at Kimi.
"Like what?" Kimi asked.
"Like when those guys were trying to peek at you when you were bathing, the bitchy girl who tried to pour boiling ramen on your head, your sister putting a large picture of you naked in the time square with your name and address written on the bottom, do I really need to name any more" Sasuke snapped.
"But those situations aren't like this one, there's a genuine reason behind needing to see the baby, Sakura is looking to make sure that it's developing correctly" Kimi said pointedly.
"Fine but does it have to be in the living room with everyone watching like some kind of side show?" Sasuke snapped angrily as Shikamaru looked down at him with mild curiosity.
"Are you guys implying that Sasuke is pregnant?" Shikamaru asked in a bemused voice.
"No shit Sherlock, come up with that all by your self or did you have to ask the dobe for help?" Sasuke snapped, glaring up at him.
"That isn't possible, guys don't get pregnant" Shikamaru said in a bored tone.
"I have enough people rubbing it in so why don't you go stare at something like it'll talk to you, your good at that" Sasuke snapped as Kimi hit him upside the head.
"Don't be mean to the new guy Sasuke, it's not his fault" Kimi scolded.
"He's used to it from me, if it's something he wasn't expecting then he's taken a few too many hits to the head or let Ino in there too many times" Sasuke grumbled.
"There's no need to bring Ino into this, besides I'm smart enough not to agree to help her train that technique, unlike a couple of others that I know" Shikamaru said with a sadistic smirk.
"You know I didn't agree to that, she just popped into my head" Sasuke grumbled.
"It was amusing tho" Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"She was in my head, there was nothing funny about that" Sasuke grumbled
"Actually it was kinda funny, especially when she made you go up to Naruto and yell I love you when you told her you'd rather go to hell than be her boyfriend" Shikamaru said, snickering at the death glare he got from Sasuke.
"That was a little scary, I thought I was about to die" Naruto said quietly.
"You would have died if you had hugged me like you tried to, your lucky that Kakashi stopped you" Sasuke growled as he glared at Sasuke.
"So you know Sasuke un?" Deidara asked as he looked at Shikamaru.
"It's a miracle, the blonde can put 2 and 2 together, he just doesn't know what it means" Sasuke scoffed earning a glare from Deidara.
"Harsh, what did you do to him that earned his spite?" Shikamaru asked as he looked over at Deidara.
"He raped him" Itachi said as he glared over at Deidara.
"If you try to act like an angel in that department Itachi I'll kick you in the nuts" Sasuke snarled as he glared up at him.
"You guys raped him, no wonder he's so angry now, well he was angry before but you guys made it worse" Shikamaru said as he glared at the two men.
"I have every right to be angry right now, I'm tied to a couch in the living room" Sasuke yelled catching Sakuras attention.
"Oh, sorry, I got caught up in the instructions, I want to make sure that I do this right" Sakura said with a grin.
"You don't know how to work that thing?" Sasuke asked warily.
"Not exactly, I've seen it used, but this is a much older model than I've ever seen, I have to read the instructions so that I know for sure how it works, but don't worry, it seems to be pretty simple" Sakura said with a reassuring smile.
"If you end up electrocuting me with that thing I'm using it against you next" Sasuke grumbled as he looked at the machine warily, it didn't look very safe, it was old, rusty and had a few wires sticking out.
"I won't electrocute you Sasuke" Sakura said with a nervous giggle.
"Somehow I don't feel any better about this" Sasuke said as a few of them chuckled.
"Maybe we should cover up some of those wires that are dangling out, we don't want to electrocute him, it might hurt the baby" Naruto said nervously.
"I have an idea, just let me go, I can assure you all that there are at least two legs in there and they have to be attached right or I wouldn't have to pee so much" Sasuke said still trying to tug his way out of the vines grip as everyone laughed again.
"Relax Sasuke, I promise not to electrocute you, we just have to put this gel on your stomach and then we can fire it up and take a look" Sakura said with a smile.
"Great, I'm overjoyed, really" Sasuke said sarcastically as he turned to stare at the ceiling sulkily.
"You're so overdramatic little brother" Itachi said with a sigh.
"Just wait till I get out of these vines Itachi, I'll make you regret this" Sasuke growled as he glared up at him.
"Again, I didn't give him permission, he did it on his own so how is this my fault?" Itachi asked, looking down at Sasuke calmly.
"I'm still not sure that you didn't, that same night you were trying to convince me that this wasn't a bad idea, why don't you go thru this hell if it isn't such a bad idea?" Sasuke snapped angrily.
"Itachi I'd just give it up, he seems to be moodier with all of the extra hormones" Sasori said as Itachi glared down at Sasuke.
"Both of you shut up, you need to calm down Sasuke or the babys heart rate is going to be higher than normal, we need it as close to normal as possible to check it's development as well" Sakura said trying to stay calm herself, it was clear that they were annoying her tho.
"How can I stay calm, everyone is staring at me, I'm tied down, and you could electrocute me with all those loose wires that are hanging out of that thing" Sasuke grumbled as he glared up at her.
"Sasuke, if you don't at least try then I'll use my kekkei genkai on you" Kimi said calmly as she stared down at Sasuke.
Sasuke looked up at her uncertainly before taking a deep breath and quietly glaring at the ceiling.
"Wow, it shut him up, what's your kekkei genkai?" Shikamaru asked as he looked over at Kimi.
"No clue, I just know how to activate it and that Sasuke doesn't like it being directed at him, somehow I can control a person completely with it, they'll do what I want, say what I want, basically they have no control over themselves" Kimi said thoughtfully as everyone stared at her in shock.
"You wouldn't happen to have a little sister would you?" Shikamaru asked in a bemused tone.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Kimi asked suspiciously.
"Is her name Kara?" Shikamaru asked carefully.
"Yes, how did you know?" Kimi asked getting a little upset now.
"I know her, she likes to use that on me to win at shogi" Shikamaru said with a grimace.
"Hey that's cold, you could have warned me" Sasuke hissed as he glared up at Sakura.
"Sorry, I forgot, ok so I'm just going to move this over your stomach to find the baby, it shouldn't be too bad" Sakura said reassuringly as she pressed something to his stomach.
There was a small fluttering sound that made Sasuke think of a bird and he looked over at the screen curiously.
"That's the babys heartbeat, and there's the baby, do you want to know the gender?" Sakura asked excitedly.
"Don't care, can I go now?" Sasuke asked as he looked up at her.
"I admit that being pregnant must be a drag Sasuke, but don't you want to know if the kid is healthy?" Shikamaru asked with a frown.
"A drag is an understatement, I have heartburn, nausea, dizzy spells, and I have to pee all the time and on top of that, I end up eating the weirdest things now" Sasuke grumbled
"That's rough and all dude but still, you should be worried about the kids well being" Shikamaru said as he glared down at Sasuke.
"If she wasn't healthy then she woudlnt' be kicking my bladder right now and Sakura would be freaking out instead of asking if I want to know the gender" Sasuke snapped as he tugged at the vines again.
"You have to use the restroom again, didn't you just go 30 minutes ago?" Itachi asked with a sadistic smirk.
"Drop dead asshole" Sasuke yelled angrily before something popped into his head that made him freeze.
'Since I have the curse mark will that be passed on to the baby or will it just stay with me, can it hurt the baby? I need to get ahold of Kabuto' Sasuke thought as everyone stared at him with concern, he just suddenly stopped yelling and struggling and went limp with a blank look.
"Hey, Sasori" Sasuke called from the couch
"What?" Sasori asked with an annoyed tone.
"You know where Orochimarus base is right?" Sasuke asked earning a curious look from everyone in the room.
"Yes" Sasori said looking at Sasuke with some interest now.
"Can you take me there?" Sasuke asked earning a bunch of shocked looks.
"No" Sasori said sternly before turning to leave.
"Can you bring someone from the base here then?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Who?" Sasori asked with some interest.
"Kabuto" Sasuke said, ignoring the looks of confusion and slight anger from the others.
"Is there a reason why you want Kabuto here?" Pein asked getting Sasukes attention.
"I need to ask him something about the curse mark and the only one who can tell me is him, Orochimaru or maybe Juugo, but Kabuto is the only sure bet that won't try to make me come back since he hates my presence" Sasuke said as if it was obvious.
"Very well, Sasori if you feel up to it you may go and get this Kabuto, Itachi you got to be there for the ultrasound, now you and Kisame get going and Hidan you show these two to there new room, Sasuke will stay with the new kid until new arrangements are made" Pein said as he shooed them all off.
Zetsu let go of Sasuke as Sakura cleaned the gel off of his stomach and handed him a picture from the machine that he put in his pocket. Shikamaru was looking at him as if he was an ass when Hidan came over and motioned for them to follow him.
"You're awfully quiet today" Sasuke said as he looked over at Hidan with a smirk.
"Shut up" Hidan grumbled as he glared over at Sasuke.
"No cussing today, must be hard, losing to Kakuzu again" Sasuke said as Hidan glared at him.
"Who said I lost to that idiot?" Hidan yelled as they came up to the hall with their room.
"You aren't cussing and he's the only asshole who would gain from that since you become even more moody and annoying to the rest of us when you can't cuss" Sasuke said as he opened the door they had stopped in front of.
"Ok you little brat just go to your room and don't bug me, Konan is making a big dinner tonight to celebrate your first baby pictures or some crap like that" Hidan said with a sulky face, Sasuke sighed as he saw it and dug the picture out of his pocket.
"There, if you wanted to see it all you had to do was ask idiot" Sasuke said as he handed Hidan the picture.
"Aww, it's so little, I'm spoiling the crap out of this kid when it finally comes out" Hidan said as he handed the picture back.
"Just don't give it alcohol, it won't be immortal like you" Sasuke said getting a little surprised when Hidan actually acted like this was a surprise to him.
"Can I give it candy?" Hidan asked as Sasuke and Shikamaru looked at him in disbelief.
"When it's older and only when I say it's ok, and don't go to Itachi to get permission when I say no" Sasuke said earning a smirk from Shikamaru for his response.
"Whatever you say momma boy" Hidan said before running off.
"I told you not to call me that you jackass" Sasuke yelled after him and turned to see Shikamaru still smirking at him.
"What's your problem?" Sasuke asked with a scowl.
"I knew you cared about that kid, your already setting down rules to keep it healthy" Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"No I just don't want it bouncing off the walls, especially if it's like Itachi, things died when he had sugar, literally" Sasuke said remembering how they had ducks in their pond before Itachi ate a bunch of pixie stix, the poor ducks never saw him coming.
"Sure, what ever makes you sleep at night" Shikamaru said as he walked into the room with a smirk.
"Shut up" Sasuke grumbled as he followed him in.
Sasuke sat on his bed staring at the wall while Shikamaru stretched out over the other bed and seemed to fall asleep. After a while of listening to him snore Sasuke quietly pulled the ultrasound picture out of his pocket and stared at it for a bit with a small smile as he studied the picture, she really was cute.
'I was right, it is a girl' Sasuke thought with a smirk as he looked at the ultrasound picture, Sakura had written the gender down on the paper, she really did know him pretty well.
"I was wondering when you'd finally cave and pull it out" Shikamaru said with a smirk from the other bed.
"You're supposed to be asleep" Sasuke growled as he glared at him.
"Relax Sasuke, I'd care too if I was in your position" Shikamaru said with a smirk as he came over and looked at the picture.
"Yeah whatever" Sasuke grumbled as he looked back at the picture, he should have known that Shikamaru was playing a trick on him.
"She really is cute" Shikamaru said thoughtfully as he looked at the picture.
"Of course she is, she's an Uchiha" Sasuke said with an air of pride.
"You seem very sure of your genes, what if she comes out ugly?" Shikamaru asked seriously earning a glare from Sasuke.
"Then I won't have to worry about boys who have overactive sex drives" Sasuke said with a shrug earning a shocked look from Shikamaru.
"You'll make one heck of a parent" Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"Yeah, she's doomed, I'm the most normal one here, besides Kakashi and he's pretty weird too" Sasuke said as he set the picture down on the table.
"There's no way out of here is there?" Shikamaru asked as he looked up at the vents, they were too small for anyone to fit thru.
"Nope, you might as well get used to it, we're all stuck here, they've got unbeatable security here" Sasuke grumbled as he glared down at the floor.
"Well at least we aren't in cells and we aren't alone" Shikamaru said thoughtfully as he went back over to his bed.
"So why are you being so cool?" Sasuke asked as he looked over at Shikamaru curiously.
"What do you mean, I'm always cool" Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"I meant why are you being so nice to me, is it because I'm pregnant?" Sasuke asked ith a glare.
"No, it's because I don't' see the point in us fighting here, you left us and you chose to stay with a snake when we offered to take you back in, but we're both stuck here so why fight and make it worse" Shikamaru said as he looked away from Shikamaru.
"I was going to come back" Sasuke said earning a skeptical look from Shikamaru.
"Am I supposed to just believe you?" Shikamaru asked with a glare.
"Nope, but I was, Orochimaru showed his true intentions after a while, it was hell there, when Naruto came the second time I wanted to go back with him, I really did, but if I had I would have died before I even got too far from the base" Sasuke said as he stared at the bed.
"With you, Naruto and Sakura working together again, I have a hard time believing that they could get to you and kill you for leaving" Shikamaru said as he glared at Sasuke.
"They didn't' have to get to me, Orochimaru found out that I was going to go with Naruto, I kept leaving him a trail since I knew he'd find me eventually, he had Kabuto put something in my stomach, kind of like a blender, it liquefies your insides in less than a minute, they took it out of me here" Sasuke said still avoiding any kind of eye contact.
"Ok" Shikamaru said with a shrug.
"You really believe me?" Sasuke asked a little surprised.
"I can always tell when you lie Sasuke, and you weren't lying so yeah, I believe you, but don't think that I won't still kick your ass at shogi and cards" Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"Bring it on, I've been practicing" Sasuke said with a smirk.
Ok so I know that this chapter probably isn't the best I've done but I tried my best on it. The update times are unfortunately going to be longer now, I'm working more and helping my friend with her story, which I hope you will check out, she's a good author and if you like this story then you should like hers, she was inspired by watching me write this one. Anyway I'd love to know what you think of this chapter and what you think should happen next, it might help me with the next chapter, which I will really try to get up sooner. Thanks for reading this far. Hope you like it.
