(Yukiko's pov)

You, Orochimaru, and Kabuto have been traveling for months now. Kabuto is now nine, you and Orochimaru forty-one. You've been living on the border of the Land Of Fire. Orochimaru said that you were going to live in the Land Of Rice, but right now you were one big problem. Your nine months pregnant and you kept going into false labor, which oddly scared Orochimaru but he didn't show it. He didn't let you out of his sight which wasn't weird he did it when he was little but, now he does more plus since you got pregnant he never I mean never let you go anywhere by yourself. Kabuto could help a little bit with the baby but hardly, he was also worried. The little angel didn't know if him and Orochimaru would be enough to help you, since Orochimaru doesn't want to be around when it is born...

You sighed as you slipped down in the steaming bath, night was falling and Orochimaru was out somewhere of course. He didn't stay around much anymore but, wherever you alone you could always feel his gold eyes on you. A knock echoed through the room "Yuki-chan." it was Kabuto. "What?" "Can I come in?" you sighed, stepped out and pulled on a sleeping kimono "Yes Kabuto-kun?" you cracked the door open. He blushed "Um...are you feeling okay?" you nodded and kissed his forehead "Thank you for asking my little angel." , he put his arms around your neck "Your welcome Yuki-chan." he laughed. You giggled at the nickname he gave you, he shifted his glasses and went back to what he was doing. The poor thing needed glasses after Orochimaru said he kept seeing him run into the wall countless times, you laughed and went to dry your hair. After a couple of hours Kabuto was sound asleep and you were lying on the couch getting tried, it was soon turning midnight when you heard the door shut. Your eyes started to shut but your ears remained alert, you saw a black haired person walk over to your person and stroke your cheek "Oro..?" you fell asleep.

The sun was setting as I watched it go down the red and yellow rays touched the brown earth. I sighed ' I guess I should get back to Yukiko...' that woman was probably going to kill your nerves, all the false labors she had honestly scared you. Which surprised me, I had never been really scared before. "Cruse you Little Yukiko.." I didn't understand why women wanted children so badly. It confused you all they are is a nuisance, I leaned my head down and just sat there for awhile, wandering in my thoughts until darkness cast it's spell over the sky. I opened my eyes and jumped out of the tree and started to go home, you were thinking about Yukiko said to you the other day...well not exactly to you. 'Why did everything change?' Yukiko's question echoed in your head over and over again, it was like a broken record. I came to a stop and oddly the answer came out of nowhere "I don't why everything changed.." flashes of your parents came to your mind, you gritted your teeth "It just did..." I tried to calm down but a presence stopped that from happening, I grabbed a kunai and turned to be face to face with a...puppet? "If you don't want to do die tonight, state who you are." it seem to grin "Im Sasori of The Red Sand." I just remained silent "And your Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha." I hissed "Was a of Konoha." it chuckled, "Very well call yourself what you want but, I have a request." my curiosity was roused now "What kind of request?" "Take the scroll and meet me at that mountain behind me." my eyes darted to the mountain behind it. A scorpion tail wormed it's way from behind it, I jumped back alittle "What? afraid of scorpions'?" it smirked. I matched it's smirk " No, but are you afraid of snakes?" I hissed low, my boa coiled around it's wooden body. Sticking it's tongue out to see what it was, "Not really, but I'd prefer them not on me. Take this scroll and follow my instructions." it's tail in one swift moment threw it at me. I caught it in my free hand and looked at it, it was black and simple so it didn't look very important. "I hope you come." it grinned and disappeared leaving my boa some what confused, it slither over to me and flicked it's tongue out making sure I was unharmed. I pet it gently and opened the scroll and began to read it, I rolled it back up and put it in my obi and continued my way back home.

It was almost midnight when I walked in the door I heard no noise so I guessed Yukiko was already asleep and Kabuto should of went to bed hours ago, I walked into the living room to see a falling asleep Yukiko. I smirked and walked over her eyes were shut but her ears were twitching to every sound I made, I stroked her cheek and kissed her lips gently. Oddly I was curious about the baby for some reason, I put my hand on her stomach and left it there. I never did this infornt of Yukiko I didn't want any part of this child but, for some reason I couldn't leave it alone. I jumped alittle when something hit my hand Yukiko and Kabuto mentioned something about the baby kicking, Yukiko felt it everytime it did it and Kabuto only some times. But you never have and it made you feel odd a feeling you didnt like or couldn't trust more so, your cheeks were alittle hot and you felt alittle warm inside. I hissed and pushed the feelings away, the boa made it's way over to us and slid up the arm rest of the couch. It slithered over Yukiko's body what it seemed to do was hiss happily when it laid it's head on her stomach, I sighed and stood up. Leaving Yukiko to sleep, I walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. I waited until it was hot enough then I got stripped my clothes and stepped in, I sighed in content and laid back my head looking at the ceiling thinking about that puppet and considering it's offer.
