Sorry minna, for very long update. I was busy with Eid ul-Fitr...sorry...

So, I made it longer than usual. Just enjoy it

Today was sunny, the scent of grass and leafs filled the air. A wide smile broke dawned Naruto's face, finally he was going back to Konoha. He glanced over at the flash of red head leaping threw the trees a few meters from him. He had lived alone all his life, but he would never be again as long as he had Gaara and his child.

Gaara noticed Naruto glance over at him and blushed slightly. He couldn't believe he was finally moving from Suna to Konoha; he had thought he would live and die there, but now everything was different. He was leaving Suna to get married…married…Gaara's face flushed red and he held back a smile.

Naruto noticed Gaara's blush and uncontrollably blushed too. Lately he was so awkward around Gaara, perhaps he was nervous about the wedding; but it wasn't a bad nervous.

Following not too far behind Naruto and Gaara were the elders, Gaara's siblings and a few other ninja. Since this marriage was between Suna and Konoha, it was going to have to be big and well arraganged to make a good impression on both sides.

It made Naruto a bit nervous; he was relieved that Gaara and elders began to walk, at times Temari or Kankurou would have to carry him because of his pregnancy. Naruto was surprised when he heard that Gaara couldn't use his sand now; he had lost contact with Shukaku somehow, Kyuubi said it was because Shukaku was depressed and too focus on her and Gaara's pregnancy.

Gaara said he would regain his strength after he delivered the baby. Naruto's stomach gave a nervous lurch, of course, he loved the baby but the thought of the small and weak Gaara in labor made him tremble.

"Oi, brat!" Naruto turned; he snorted as Kankurou moved to his side. Naruto just couldn't get past his distaste for Kankurou. Kankurou had whined to accompany Gaara even though he was the Kazekage and couldn't leave the village anytime.

"What?" Naruto answered starting to get pissed, he was glad that he wouldn't have to see Kankurou every day since they would lived in different villages.

"Do you think Konoha is likely to be in danger?" asked Kankurou seriously. Naruto was taken aback, expecting an insult instead, and it took him a bit to respond.

"Hm…that all depends on the situation. Sometimes, after all there are enemies to Konoha like Orochimaru or The Akatsuki but living there my entire life I believe Konoha is a pretty safe place," Naruto answered avoiding eye contact. Kankurou nodded.

"But,Suna is better in defense," said the puppeteer. Naruto was confused, he couldn't understand the point of this conversation but continued to converse with him.

"Perhaps, but I don't know about that," said Naruto and then glanced to Gaara who was talking with Temari.

Kankurou gripped Naruto's arm hard until the blonde winced. Naruto turned to cry out in anger but froze; Kankurou could have pierced his soul with his eyes.

"If you allow my little brother to be hurt physically or emotionally, I will make you regret it for the rest f your life," Kankurou hissed through gritted teeth. Naruto tried to udder a reply but his throat wouldn't allow it; he nodded fast. Kankurou then let Naruto's arm go. The blonde quickly moved away from Kankurou's side; he didn't want to piss him off anymore than he already was.

But even without Kankurou's threat he would protect Gaara and their baby, for sure.

IoI

Gaara was nervous. With each step they were getting closer and closer to Konoha. He was anxious, confused, and unsure about his future in Konoha, but it was for the best. He rubbed his belly tenderly; he was doing this for his baby…their baby.

It was natural to be nervous though. Soon, he would entrust his life to a slow witted Genin. He trusted him, fully without doubt, but wondered if this half-forced marriage would be good for both of them; even if it was the hardest path.

Gaara shook his head; it was useless to think about that now. He had made his choice so he would keep moving forward.

"Gaara, are you okay?" Gaara turned to see his older sister looking at him concerned. Gaara shook his and forced a smile.

"Nothing, I'm okay Temari-neechan," he said. Temari moved closer then sat beside him. They were taking rest right now. It only took half a day to arrive at Konoha. Naruto had run off when Gaara wasn't looking and Kankurou was checking his puppets.

"Don't smile when you feel bad," she said, tenderly patting Gaara's back. She didn't know where Gaara had learned to falsely smile but she could see right through it. Gaara's face drop and he allowed all of her sorrows to fill his eyes. He closed them trying to play it off like he was tired or burdened but Tamari knew better.

"I'm just….worried….," he said weakly. Temari nodded, she understood that. It was normal to be nervous before getting married. And in this case, a forced marriage?

"Everything will be fine," she said with a smile. Gaara looked up at her and smiled back, she was good at knowing what to say to cheer him up.

"And if Naruto does something stupid to you, just call me, and I'll knock him into next century," she joked lightly with her warm smile. Gaara nodded, he was glad that he had Temari as his sister.

"Thank you, onee-chan," he said now in a better mood. Temari nodded then hugged Gaara, the redhead was surprised but then hugged back.

"You aren't alone Gaara, you have me, stupid Kankurou and soon….Naruto," she said patting Gaara's head. Gaara nodded then leaned his head into Temari's warm embrace.

As Naruto walked back to the resting group he noticed Gaara was hugging Temari and watched them secretly. In his view, Gaara looked peaceful with a happy smile brightening his face. Naruto face was hot from blushing just thinking about joining Gaara's little family soon. Maybe, he would like it….

Back in Konoha team seven was running towards the gates. Sakura looking pissed as usual but also worried leading the pack, Sai close behind her seemed a little confused, and next to him Captain Yamato looking tired trying to keep up with the two younger ninja. They had just found out that afternoon about Naruto's return and that the fifth Kazekage was pregnant with Naruto's child. Sakura had nearly broken Lady Tsunade's table in two when she heard while Sai, stunned, had decided to go to the library to research all about pregnancy in teens. Kakashi pervertidly snickered to himself and Captain Yamato's reaction frightened everyone.

"Tsunade-sama!" Sakura shouted running up and taking her place next to Lady Tsunade. It looked like all the elders and some of the more important people in Konoha had tagged along. After all this was about the relationship between Konoha and Suna, they couldn't take it lightly.

Sakura stood silently in fear of Tsunade's pissed off expression, her gaze set to kill Uzumaki the minute he came in sight. Suzune who stood beside Tsunade was trying her best to lighten Tsunade's mood a little.

"When they will arrive?" asked Sai with his usual fake smile.

"Any second now," Suzune responded then turned to talk to Tsunade again. The rest of people were busy with their own chatting. Needless to say it was quite shocking news that a jinchuuriki had impregnated another jinchuuriki; and the fact that it was male pregnancy wasn't helping any matters. Sakura between being shocked and pissed was also a little interested. After all a male pregnancy was a bit of a "medical miracle".

"Where is Kakashi-san?" asked Suzune who just noticed that the silver haired jounin was nowhere to be found.

"Eh? We thought he arrive earlier than us," Sakura replied. She thought for something like this he might actually show up on time.

"He's probably just wandering around town, urgh, Kakashi-sempai," said Captain Yamato putting his hand over his face. He still wondered how such a perverted and lazy ninja could be so powerful and famous; when out of battle he was so useless and annoying.

"Geezzz, Kakashi-sensei," said Sakura annoyed, her inner self was cursing Kakashi-sensei to death.

"Ah! They're here!" Tsunade shouted. Surprised, the rest of party turned to see. Just coming over the horizion they could see the group from Suna walking. Tsunade prepared herself, she needed to push her bad mood away until she could properly bestow it onto Naruto.

Sakura saw Kankurou walkingin the front of the group while Gaara and Temari walked beside him. Tsunade had told her that Kankurou was the Kazekage now. She could see Naruto walking beside Gaara looking out of character; his face was flushed and he looked nervous, like he would just leap away any minute and leave Gaara standing there.

Sakura looked back to look at Tsunade, her golden eyes were sharp and menacing. She wondered if the old woman would kill the blonde later.

When the group finally arrived at the front of the gate, both of the leader smiled though the bloodlust for Naruto was clear in there eyes.

"Good morning, Tsunade-sama. I see you all came to greet us, how nice." said Kankurou, a bit nervous. He rarely acted formal.

"Yes, since this situation is kind of unusual, we can't take it lightly," she said still smiling, and then shooting a glare in Naruto's direction.

"Of course." Kankurou nodded in agreement. Gaara walked to the puppeteer's side feeling out of place.

"Sorry for causing so much trouble." he apologized bowing before her. Tsundae was thrown off by his sincereness, she knew he wasn't to blame, and it was out of character for him to be so apologetic.

"No, you're not at all at fault here Gaara," she shot Naruto a look, and he wished he was anywhere but here right now.

"You look tired, rest for awhile before we discuss the arrangements." Tsunade said softly. Kankurou nodded, he was tired, after worrying about Gaara all day. Temari sighed in relief; finally she could take a breather from this predicament and see Shikamaru.

Tsunade glanced at Naruto, her icy stare sent a shiver up his spine. "But you… see me in my office, understood?" Naruto nodded quickly. He was sure that he would be beaten later.

Gaara looked up at Naruto, he was pale and sweating profusely. He could see the glares shot at Naruto by Tsunade. He moved closer to Naruto's side, trying to think of a way to distract Tsunade for awhile. "Could you examine me, Tsunade-sama?" Gaara looked up through his long red bangs. Tsunade glanced to Naruto then smiled at Gaara.

"Yes, of course Gaara. I would like to see how your pregnancy is going," she said. Everyone broke apart to go and do their own thing before they discussed the jinchuuriki marriage. Kankurou had gone to the hotel to get some sleep, Temari left to go see Shikamaru, and Gaara and Naruto walked with Tsunade to her office.

"Naruto!" Sakura shouted startling the blonde. He turned to see his ex-crush. Walking next to Sakura was Sai and Captain Yamato.

"Sakura-chan," he said, it felt awkward, her being there now. He blushed and scratched his head nervously.

Sakura ignored him and turned to Tsunade and Gaara who had stopped walking. "Tsunade-sama, can we also go to your office?" she asked. Tsunade stared into Sakura's eyes, like they were having an unspoken conversation. "Tch, fine." Tsunade smiled. Gaara looked over at Naruto who was still blushing and looking a bit distracted.

'Why do I feel hurt? Why does this bother me?' Gaara watched his feet and didn't speak the entire walk to Tsunade's office.

IoI

"YOU STUPID BRAT!"

"IDIOT! OH MY GODNESS, NARUTO, I CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE COULD BE SO BRAINLESS!"

"DO YOU WANT TO DIE? DO YOU EVER USE YOUR HEAD!"

Naruto was shocked; he knew something like this would happen. Tsunade sat on his stomach, her hands grabbed the front of Naruto's shirt, and Sakura was kneeled down beside him with her fist clenched in anger. They were being so rough with him, his eyes were black and swollen while all over his body was full with bruises, but there was still more punishment to come. The office was half destroyed, of course, with Tsunade and Sakura in it at one time. Naruto thought he might die soon.

"I…said, I'M SORRY!" shouted Naruto struggling to sit up but Tsunade pushed him back down. Gaara was standing in the corner, watching everything fearfully. He was a sadist but to see his best friend being pumbled like this…were women always this scary? He couldn't do anything about it either, not that he'd want to get in their way. Sai and Captain Yamato stood next to Gaara but unlike him they were use to this scene.

"Sakura don't kill him, at least not right now." Tsunade said standing up. Sakura nodded and stood up with her. She looked satisfied and calmer, Gaara was thankful that the ordeal was over.

"You could have caused a war between Suna and Konoha, Naruto. You are very lucky," she said with a sigh. Sakura nodded looking serious. Naruto nodded as he picked his body up, he was so sore.

"It isn't only Naruto's fault. It is also mine," Gaara piped, trying to protect Naruto who looked down. The blonde turned to see the redhead and gave him a quick grin. Gaara was really a good person.

The blonde woman turned her attention to see the former Kazekage. She knew Gaara could have fought back, but in reality 90% of the fault was all Naruto.

"I believe that you also have some responsibilities in this situation, but Naruto is one of my ninja so making him pay is my job," she said smiling. Naruto cursed under his breath.

Gaara only could nod; he looked over at Naruto assessing his wounds. He felt guilty for not doing anything but watch…just like that one night.

"Okay, now, let me examine you, Gaara. So, we can know how far along you are." Tsunade stood up from behind her desk. A loud bang came from the door and Suzune burst into the room.

"Ano….Tsunade-sama…uhm, Iruka-san and Kakashi-san want to meet Naruto-kun," she said breathless, and looking at Naruto's brusies.

MORE PUNISHMENT? Naruto's head dropped, when would this day end? Sai stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Calm down, Naruto-kun. I wonder why you look so down. A child is a gift from God, proof of love, you must cherish it, I read that in a book." Sai continued to ramble on.

"Ah, shut up!" Naruto pulled his shoulder away. Sai looked confused, did he do something wrong again?

"Sai, your words are hurting him more rather than comforting him," said Sakura rubbing her eyes. Sai was so clueless.

Sai smiled innocently and decided that he would read more about teen pregnancy later.

The door opened with another loud bang. Naruto gulped; Iruka looked pissed and Kakashi smiled next to him. Kakashi leaned against the door frame as Iruka made is way over to Naruto. Tsunade watched in amusement while Gaara and the others didn't dare to do anything.

"Naruto, how could you do something like this!" shouted Iruka disappointment and anger filling his voice. Gaara recalled that Iruka was something like a foster father to Naruto. He felt sorry for him though everyone was so rough on him.

Naruto glanced around looking for an escape route but before he knew it Iruka was already to him.

"I thought I taught you better than this, to be a gentleman. You had stopped playing pranks I was proud. Slowly, you were growing up and becoming more mature. But now…you got someone pregnant? And he's the Kazekage, Naruto! Oh my God!" Iruka's face had turned a deep shade of red. Kakashi smiled on and waved from the frame of the door.

"Have you thought about how you're going to raise this family? Did you think about how much trouble this will cause all of us?" Iruka continued to talk. Naruto was looking at his feet, every word cut into him.

"I'm really disappointed, Naruto. Really, I'm disappointed by you!"

Iruka continued to scold Naruto for was seemed to be hours. Tsunade had fallen asleep at her desk, Sai and Captain Yamato had escaped from the office, and Sakura watched on starting to get bored. Gaara was trying to hear all Iruka's words. Iruka was right, and although his words were hurtful he was saying them because he cared for Naruto. Iruka was just like Naruto's father, so Gaara tried to understand all his words, he might not think it right now but Naruto was lucky to have all these people who loved him. Kakashi had given up on watching the scolding and was now reading his Icha-Icha book every now and then giggling softly.

Naruto continued to stared at the floor. He wondered when this hell would end…

"Naruto!"

Everyone jumped when again the door slammed open. Kiba, Hinata and Shino appeared in the office door.

"Naruto! Is it true? You got Gaara pregnant!" Kiba pushed his way in ignoring Iruka who was still scolding. Iruka's rant didn't seem that bad anymore.

"Kiba, it isn't any of our business," said Shino standing coolly next to Kakashi. Gaara noticed the blue haired girl was blushing madly and looking really uncomfortable. She kept playing with her fingers and her eyes did their best to avoid Naruto but when she made full eye contact with him her face would change a deeper shade of red.

"Yeah, I got Gaara's pregnant. Step off Kiba, why do you care?" Naruto crossed his arms. Hinata went limp, Kakashi caught her body before she hit the floor. Naruto was confused why was she making such a big deal of it, it was his problem and no one else's. Kiba and Shino sighed, they were use to Hinata's shyness.

"Are you an idiot? But hell, I'll admit that I'm pretty amazed." Kiba smiled. He approached Gaara. Startled Gaara leaned himself against the wall as Kiba moved closer to him.

"Whoa, he even has some of your scent; have you marked him as yours? It just like animals you know, but I like that," Kiba sniffed him a few more times then turned to see Naruto, his face was burning with embarrassment and anger.

"Yeah, that's my student," Kakashi said quietly with a smile. Iruka glared at him..

"Stop this pointless conversation, and Kiba-kun, please don't interfere, I'm scolding Naruto right now," Iruka's face was still a deep red color. Kiba nodded feeling the hostility in Iruka's glare and turned to Shino who ready to leave; Hinata unconscious over his shoulder.

As they were abou to step out Lee pushed his way through.

"Naruto-kun, is it true.."

"That I got Gaara pregnant? I'm getting tired of this!" sighted Naruto. This was getting old! Lee was confused he walked over and sat next to Gaara.

"Congratulations, it is good to have baby, right? It is proof of love and spirit of youthfulness. You are really great, Naruto-kun! I'm proud of you! When I heard the news, I immediately ran here to ask you directly. I'm kind of happy it's true. It means that you will be father soon, isn't that good?" Lee smiled sincerely. Gaara blushed slightly, everyone was covering their faces, leave it to Lee to make this out to be a good thing. Naruto had seemed to had his fill of this craziness.

"You are same as Sai. I don't need your praise, just get out of here!" Naruto grabbed Lee and threw him out of the office.

The blonde really hoped this day would end soon or he was sure he would die of anger and embarrassment.

IoI

Gaara glanced to Tsunade who was busy preparing her tools beside him. Finally after a long period of scolding's, shouting, and beatings Naruto was going with Kakashi to clear his head and Gaara finally was getting examined.

Gaara was in Tsunade's medical room now; it was in the inside of the Hokage Tower. Now, the redhead was laying patiently in an old bed, trying to comfort himself.

"Oh, Gaara. Please remove you shirt, I need to check your stomach." said Tsunade with tools in hand stood next to the bed. Gaara nodded and pulled off his shirt blushing lightly. He didn't really like to undress in front of other people, but he didn't have any choice.

Once his shirt was off he lied back down on the bed. Tsunade formed a circle of green chakra from her hands and moved her hands along Gaara's belly. After awhile, she removed her hands then examined Gaara's vitals.

"Do you have any symptoms?" asked Tsunade while examined Gaara's swollen legs.

"Yeah, I have terrible morning sickness," Gaara answered.

Then Tsunade walked into the chair behind the table. Gaara wondered if she had finished the exam. He put his shirt back on and walked over to Tsunade.

"Your pregnancy is going well. Your 7 weeks along. The babies healthy though you should eat more. About the morning sickness, it's a usual symptom for first trimester." Tsunade took a bottle filled with pills from inside her desk.

"This is medicine for you to ease your morning sickness," she said with a smiled. Gaara took the bottle then smiled back.

"Thank you very much" he said taking the bottle.

"If you're tired, you can rest now. We'll discuss it more later." Tsunade raised from her chair. Gaara nodded then walked toward the door.

"And…if you need anything, just tell me," Tsunade cooed before Gaara opened the door. The redhead smiled and nodded then walked out from the room.

He patted his belly softly. He was glad that the baby was okay. He would try his best to be a good mother.

Next chapter will be pre-wedding. The wedding in japanese style, shinto wedding. I will try my best to write it, since I never seen a shinto marriage directly...but yeah...

Please review~!
