August 15th, the fourteenth week
"You handled the situation like a child!" Koharu Utatane hissed. "You were intoxicated and didn't even interrogate the Kyuubi container!" Tsunade raised an eyebrow and leaned backwards in her chair, staring at the two elders.
"Oh but I did, just not Naruto." Tsunade dropped her eyebrow and glared at the two elders. "Naruto had nothing to do with the situation."
"He was what caused the entire situation in the first place!" Homura Mitokado cried.
"Kyoko Suzuki was the one who lost control of her part of Kyuubi in the arena. Sasuke managed to replicate Naruto's seal and Naruto was unconscious most of that time." Tsunade replied, obviously fed up with this argument.
"And who do you think got the scrolls for the Uchiha to even know how to replicate seals like the one on the container?" The female elder screamed. She stepped forward, spit flying from her mouth onto the desk in front of her. Tsunade looked down at the flecks of body fluid in mild disgust and rising anger.
"Enough!" Tsunade slammed her hands on her table, glaring at the older woman. The older woman's expression faltered for a second, her face sagging with wrinkles and hair loose enough for it to have a wave at the base of her hairline. "What's done is done and I won't have you continuing to make the situation worse than it was. I'm keeping Naruto Uzumaki on duty and ending the house arrest on Sasuke Uchiha and Kyoko Suzuki. Both of the latter will still only be able to take missions inside the village and that is the end of this discussion!"
Koharu Utatane stepped back, her expression molding from shock to smoldering anger. She turned around and stalked out of the office, Homura Mitokado following after her, subdued by the strong wills of both women. Shikamaru opened the door for them, waiting until they were halfway down the hall to straighten up from his bow and walk into the room himself.
"They've got a point, handling the chuunin exam disaster was not your best moment." Shikamaru spoke after he shut the door.
"Shut up, I know." Tsunade barked tiredly. She opened her drawer; looking for the bottle of sake she had placed there just that morning only to find it missing. Shizune must have found it. Sometimes, she hated that woman. Slamming the drawer shut again, she looked back up at Shikamaru and frowned. "Are all the anbu back on duty?" She asked.
"They are." Shikamaru replied and several anbu slipped from their places in the ceiling. There were four of them that kneeled before her desk, waiting to be addressed as the only Jonin in the room joined the line, still standing. "The ones that you trusted during the debacle, minus Yamato."
"What did you find out about the tarp?" Tsunade asked to none of them in particular. She looked at her desk; frowning as she tried to remember which of the drawers she kept her secret hidden stash of alcohol she saved for emergencies when her 'trusted followers' took her regular hidden stash of sake.
"It corroborates what the Uchiha and the Suzuki girl have explained during interrogation." One anbu spoke up. The Hokage didn't look over to them focused on her attempt to remember which drawer it had been.
"But it can only do so much. It's simply a strengthening seal; it can't repair what was broken to begin with." Another anbu continued.
"Meaning?" Tsunade pulled open the drawer and smirked in delight as she popped open the false bottom and slid out a small bottle. Tsunade replaced the false bottom and popped open the lid, smirking at the thought of deceiving Shizune.
"Her seal will weaken with time, her proximity to Naruto and it will break again." Shikamaru summed up. The Jonin sighed and shifted his weight from one foot to another as Tsunade raised the bottle to her lips, taking a quick shot. "Hokage, how long have you been sober?"
"Nearly a damn month." Tsunade replied before taking another shot, shuddering as it went down. "Shizune's been impossible but continue." She set the bottle down and looked at the four anbu and Shikamaru, frowning again.
"Using the tarp won't work every time, Hokage-sama." Shikamaru told her. "Even if Sasuke could find a way to improve on it, it would never be permanent." Tsunade glanced at the anbu; each of them nodded their heads in agreement.
"We'll need to find an alternative way to solve it then. What do you suggest?" Tsunade asked.
"Talk to Sasuke and Naruto, the Suzuki girl too. The elders obviously have some ideas with what should be done but I'm guessing you have no intention of listening to any of them." Shikamaru sighed when the blonde haired woman nodded.
"Remind me to send a letter to the Kazekage as well, he might know something that we don't know about the seal that could be beneficial to be aware of."
"Yes, Hokage-sama." Shikamaru nodded his head.
"Get the tarp, we don't have a need for it anymore so we might as well give it back to the Uchiha brat. He's going to need it apparently." Tsunade waved her hand at one of the anbu and he disappeared, through an opening in the ceiling and left, going to retrieve the tarp.
"When are we going to meet with them?" Shikamaru asked.
"Today. I've got nothing else I need to do and Yamato should be lurking around here somewhere." Tsunade stood and when the brunette jonin looked to the stack of papers on her desk she raised an eyebrow questioningly, daring him to say something about it.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru sighed. The anbu moved back to their positions, hidden from view as Tsunade brushed past him, the bottle of sake quickly being stashed down her shirt.
"Come on Shikamaru, before Shizune realizes we're gone." She opened her door and looked out into the hallway cautiously, looking for the dark haired woman. The lazy genius sighed but followed the older woman anyway.
"D rank missions are boring." Naruto raised his arms above his head, stretching with pride as they followed Sasuke through the compound. "It's B and A rank missions that are exciting, dangerous even." Kyoko skeptically looked up at him and then looked to Sasuke's back. Her gaze caught his attention and turned his head over his bare shoulder, blankly looking back at her. It was August but the weather was hot, humid, and it felt stuffy in the compound and the Uchiha was grateful he could wear sleeveless shirts again.
"But what will I have to do on missions? I'm not on a team or anything." Kyoko asked. She raised her hand up to her red hair and ran it down the braid and spiked strap in it. Sasuke glanced down at the girl's bare feet; her already dirtied, slightly disgusting feet and then raised his gaze upwards. The girl barely had enough clothes to last her a week so they had gone and found her some clothes, which unfortunately had the Uchiha fan on them.
She hadn't put up a fight about wearing the clothes, happy that she didn't need to leave the compound with an anbu escort but the girl wouldn't wear shoes. No matter how much Yamato tried to convince her, or Kakashi teasing her, she wouldn't wear shoes. Apparently, they didn't have shoes up in the mountains or the toads didn't feel the need to get her shoes as she was growing up.
"De-weed gardens, catch cats, any chore a villager would rather pay for than do themselves." Naruto grinned and lowered his hands, sticking them in his pockets. "You've got nothing to worry about, Apricot, you're probably still going to be confined to the village when you're off house arrest."
"But I thought the villagers were scared of me? Because I have Kyuubi inside me." Kyoko nervously looked up to Naruto and then down at her feet when she saw blue eyes looking back at him.
"That's not going to stop Obaa-san from giving you missions. She'll find someone who will have you do work, same as she did for me." Naruto sighed. They turned down a narrow street and stopped in front of a cramped looking apartment complex that covered the whole block.
"Obaa-san?" The red haired girl asked. She moved behind the two older males, looking to each of them in question.
"The Hokage." Sasuke answered for the blonde without glancing to either of them. He didn't know what was in the apartments or if they were even booby-trapped but there was only one way he was going to get through all of them in one day. "Naruto, shadow clones, three dozen of them." The Uchiha spoke curtly. Sighing in exaggeration, Naruto made the hand signals for the technique and with a chorus of 'poof's, half the street was filled with blondes in black t-shirts and orange cargo pants. Sasuke looked over to the real Naruto and then glanced back to Kyoko, wordlessly expressing his thoughts.
"Hey, Apricot." Naruto turned to grin at the woman as innocently as he could. "Do you want to do us a favor?"
"What?" Kyoko asked hesitantly. Some of the clones moved to the front of the apartment complex, two of them and the real Naruto stayed with them, attempting to hide their grins.
"Kakashi was supposed to show up a couple hours ago and Kakashi might have come to take his shift, would you mind going to check the gate to see if he's there?" Sasuke glanced back to see her blink apprehensively and then look to him. "I'll give you a clone so you won't have to come back and then you could, practice with him." The blonde tried to smile innocently.
"Or just, take a day off if he's, not there?" Kyoko supplied cautiously. One of the clones looked to the real Naruto who nodded and it stepped forward, slipping his corporeal hands into his pants pockets.
"Hn." Sasuke answered her. The clone walked past the redhead, refusing to wait for her as she smiled hesitantly at the two males before turning around and hightailing it out of the narrow street after the clone.
"Well that was easy." Naruto raised a hand to scratch at his head and look to the Uchiha with a gleeful smirk. "She's a lot more docile than before, what have you and Kakashi done to her?" Sasuke turned his head to survey the clones; they had found the main office and had stripped it of its keys to start unlocking the first few apartments on the ground level.
"Kakashi's been filling her head with nonsense." The Uchiha raised his hands, looked over to the blonde. He made a single shadow clone and dropped his hands to his sides. His clone was his twin, the same face, and the same slight pudginess around his middle, the sleeveless white shirt that was zipped up to his sternum, black shorts and black sandals. Sasuke looked himself over, noticing with a little irritation that his ass moved with more feminine grace than masculine.
"Stuff you don't find the need to stop him from saying." Naruto watched the clone stalk off after the thirty-six others, telling them what to do and pinching one of their cheeks when they had something to say.
"He has a point, with most of it." Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest, facing Naruto with a calm expression.
"What does he say?" Naruto looked over from their clones to his pregnant Uchiha, looking him over with large, adoring eyes. He moved closer, stepping behind the dark haired male and resting his chin against the seal on Sasuke's bare shoulder.
"That we're a couple," Sasuke tilted his head to the apartment complex as one of Naruto's clones 'poof'ed out of existence as they set off a trap. Naruto winced and shifted his weight as the memory of the trap found its way through the blonde's mind. "And that we have, certain needs even though we're expecting."
"Were those his exacts words or are you just summing it up?" Naruto smiled and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's middle. "You haven't really grown much in the past few weeks," The blonde commented without regard to his previous question. "Is that normal?"
"Probably, I was just gaining weight earlier." Sasuke leaned backwards into the blonde and they both swayed a little, watching themselves invade apartment after apartment, Naruto's clones working in tandem as Sasuke's singular clone went in one by one to survey what was inside.
"I read that this week the baby will be able to pee." Naruto spoke up suddenly. His breath tickled Sasuke's neck but the Uchiha frowned at the information.
"Hn." He muttered. Sasuke leaned farther back and Naruto swayed with him before righting them both again.
"It's true." Naruto pressed his face into the Uchiha's pale neck, gently gripping his wrists to bring them in front of them both. He molded the pale hands to cup air and held them in his own palms softly. "Our little baby is supposed to be the size of a lemon, he could fit into the palms of our hands."
"Or she." Sasuke interjected. Naruto blinked and raised his head in surprise.
"Do you want a girl?" The blonde twisted his body around the Uchiha's side so he could see his lover's expression. They hadn't talked much about the gender of the baby and it was obvious the blonde was curious about what he wanted.
"You'll spoil them regardless of their gender." Sasuke answered noncommittally. Naruto moved in front of Sasuke, his arms still around the Uchiha's waist, holding their bodies close. They stared at each other for a moment, regarding each other quietly and Sasuke had to wonder what the blonde was thinking.
"Spoil me." Naruto demanded suddenly. Sasuke raised his eyebrows in surprise before looking to the blonde's lips, ideas starting to multiply in his mind.
"How?" The Uchiha squashed the urge to lick his lips and press himself closer to Naruto. He let his gaze flicker back up to those clear, azure depths, waiting for an answer.
"Marry me." The blonde stated. Sasuke stilled, he didn't necessarily stiffen but tried to keep himself breathing. He was shocked. There was no way he could have been expecting that, have been prepared for that. Looking away from the blonde, Sasuke started to turn from him, his face still blank.
"You seduce me by telling me our baby will be starting to urinate and then propose? Such a romantic." Sasuke knew his voice sounded hollow as he tried to tease the blonde but he had a hard time believing this was really happening.
"Sasuke," Naruto tightened his grip on the Uchiha's waist, trying to keep him from walking off. "I'm being serious. I want you to marry me." It wasn't easy ignoring the shiver that ripped up Sasuke's spine and the bloom of happiness welling up inside his chest as the bottom of his stomach started to churn.
"I heard you the first time." The Uchiha murmured. He tried to get the blonde to let go of him but Naruto only grabbed his arm and pulled him closer.
"I'm not letting you run away from me." The blonde told him. Naruto's grip was reassuring and confining simultaneously.
"You never do." Sasuke dared to meet the blonde's gaze and regretted it immediately when he saw Naruto's hard stare. "We talked about this." He looked away again, conflicted and frowning.
"Before we decided to have a baby together." Naruto responded immediately. "And this is different, we only ever just talked about marriage. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Sasuke tensed at the end of the blonde's proclamation and clenched his hands into fists but the idiot didn't give him a chance to respond, grabbing one of the Uchiha's pale wrists and brought it up to his chest. "I love you."
That did it. Sasuke unclenched his fist and twisted his wrist to grab Naruto's. In fluid motions, the Uchiha twisted his body so that his back was against the orange clad chest and flipped the blonde over onto the ground over his shoulder. Naruto tried to scramble up but Sasuke grabbed the palm of his hand and held it in a position that promised pain. The blonde stilled, looking up at the Uchiha with desperate blue eyes. He knew Naruto wouldn't fight him, not while he was pregnant and Sasuke started to feel furious.
"I know!" Sasuke hissed out and then suddenly deflated. "I know." Naruto wasn't going to physically fight him and no matter how angry he got, the blonde wouldn't defend himself. There was no way he was going to be able to take his frustration out through fighting, not while he was pregnant. Taking a deep breath, he let go of Naruto's hand and stood up, a hand automatically resting on his abdomen. "You're terrible at broaching subjects, you know that, Dobe?"
"I can't help but be direct," Naruto looked up from the ground, relief evident in his voice. "Will you say yes?" Sasuke wanted to glare, he wanted to smile, fuck, he wanted to pound this idiot's face in and kiss the hell out of him all at the same time.
"Whatever it is, answer him. The suspense is killing me." The Hokage's voice broke through their own little world and they both looked in the direction of her voice, surprised. Tsunade was walking down the middle of the narrow street, arms crossed over her chest with Kakashi, Shikamaru, a nervous Kyoko, and Naruto's clone behind her. "Nice seal, Uchiha." She smirked at them.
"Um," Naruto started immediately. He quickly rolled off his back and stood on next to Sasuke. "Obaa-san, Shikamaru, what are you doing here?" Tsunade smirked widely at them and she punched Naruto's clone hard enough to dispel it. Sasuke glanced over to the blonde as his clone's memories came to him, the flinch from the punch, the surprised blinks and sigh of realization. "You came to talk about Kyoko's seal."
"How'd you-" Kyoko started only to have Kakashi rest one of his hands on her shoulder.
"Looks like we need to teach you as well as train you." The white haired jonin spoke to her without looking at her. Both Sasuke and Naruto watched the red haired girl start blushing. "Why don't we head to their home, I'm sure they'll join us when they're done with, whatever they're doing with their clones."
"Troublesome." Shikamaru sighed and turned around, lazily sauntering away as Kakashi pushed the genin girl after him.
"You too, Kakashi." Tsunade turned around and motioned for the white haired male to follow. "We'll leave them to their troubles, for now." Kakashi smiled at them from under his mask before turning around.
"She's in a, different mood." Naruto muttered quietly, fearing the strong willed woman would hear him as she turned the street's corner.
"Being a little drunk probably helps." Sasuke added. They both looked to each other hesitantly before Naruto smiled and Sasuke looked away, feeling his face heat up.
"So, I'm guessing we're going to have to put this conversation to rest?" The blonde lowered his head, sad that Sasuke hadn't given him an answer.
"I want to talk about it...later." Sasuke reached out and grabbed the blonde's chin to lift it meeting the blonde's gaze again, feeling a little relieved that Naruto didn't seem that upset that he wasn't giving him an answer just yet. Smiling tentatively, the blonde leaned forward and softly kissed Sasuke's lips.
"Okay." Naruto murmured softly. He pulled away and Sasuke dropped his hand from the blonde's chin. "Oi!" The blonde called out to the apartment complex. "Lock everything back up before I dispel you!" They watched as several clones walked out of open apartment, locked the doors and dispelled themselves while several others darted out of a single apartment guiltily. Sasuke frowned and glanced over to the blonde, wondering if he had other things in mind when he created the clones. Naruto looked back to him sheepishly, memories already coming back to him over thirty times. Taking the matter into his own hands, Sasuke purposely dispelled his clone and immediately started to blush.
He had immediately started ordering the multiple clones around, telling them not to touch anything after they unlocked the door and to undo any traps they would find rather than just letting themselves get dispelled. Most of the clones were grinning at him and only a few moved in response to his orders.
"Hey, hey, Sasuke!" One of the clones came up to him, grinning cheekily. "You're clone has your baby bump, why are you keeping it?" Sasuke felt his clone raise his eyebrow at the blonde clone and reached up to pinch a scarred cheek.
"I need to get used to it, Usuratonkachi. If I get rid of it as a clone, I'll notice it more when I dispel." Sasuke looked over to the rest of the clones. "Get to work. If we don't finish it today, I'll just make you do it on your next day off, instead of sex." All the clones winced when they heard what the Uchiha had to say and looked to each other cautiously, debating their chances.
"Work, work, work, Teme. You're going to work me to death!" One of the clones called out as he moved closer to the apartment complex, laughing as other clones called out their agreement. Sasuke had rolled his eyes and turned to watch as one of the clones went door to door, unlocking them with skilled ease. The Uchiha motioned for the Naruto clones to go ahead and check for traps and watched as they did.
"Sasuke, remember the time I had clones help move us into the compound? That was what, two months ago?" A clone asked as he matched the Uchiha's pace and leaned in close. Glancing over to the blonde, Sasuke felt fingers grazing over his lower back and emotionlessly tilted his head closer to him.
"It was." Sasuke felt the hand brush against his spine before trying to move lower. Damn Naruto, they were clones and he was still getting horny from a simple massage.
"We never did get to finish." Naruto's clone led the Uchiha into one of the open apartments and the Uchiha pushed the hand away.
"Idiot, we're cataloging apartments. We can have clone sex later." Sasuke tried to shift the clone's attention away from him and back on the task at hand but the blonde only seemed to be satisfied when his hand was around the dark haired male's waist.
"Aw, but then you'd dispel us all if we did something you didn't like." Another Naruto leaned in close to Sasuke, resting his lower body against the wall as a few other clones filled into the main room of the small apartment.
"I still could dispel you." Sasuke ignored the clone next to him, focusing more on the feeling of entrapment he had in the back of his mind. The clones were planning something and he didn't know if he wanted to let it play out or stop it before Naruto did something he was going to regret.
"We were hoping you wouldn't though." The clone leaning against the wall straightened himself and reached for the Uchiha's hand, gripping it softly as he brought it up to his lips and kissed pale knuckles. He could feel several other clones moving in closer and quelled the urge to kick a few of them out of existence immediately. He almost wanted to see what the blonde was planning on doing.
"What are you-" The clone next to him grabbed his other hand as arms encircled his waist and lifted him up. He barely extended his leg to kick when the clones in front of him grabbed his legs, picking him up and carrying the Uchiha deeper into the apartment.
"I've always wanted to try this but you hardly ever create clones and if it were my clones against the real you, I'd lose in a heartbeat." One of the clones pointed out. Sasuke tried to pull his hands and legs free and when that didn't work, he relaxed his entire body, becoming dead weight.
"Here, help me hold him." One clone called out and suddenly numerous hands were grabbed at all of his body parts. "Move the table out of the way and we'll have enough room." Another clone called out. Sasuke turned his head, trying to see what was going on in front of him but the clones were blocking most of his view.
"Let me go, Usuratonkachi." Sasuke looked up to one of two the clones holding his right arm and glared at him.
"No, that would ruin the fun." The clone grinned down at him as they moved forward again and Sasuke was dropped to the floor, hands still holding onto his wrists and ankles. One of the Naruto's stepped over him and sat down on his chest, grinning. "We're going to spoil you."
**~ Restricted Content. Visit links on Profile for the full and completely intact story~**
Suddenly, there was a poof at his feet. It tickled and Sasuke jerked his foot back, finally free. The Naruto's pulled back, surprised and several more clones disappeared in puffs of smoke.
"No, it's not fair. We didn't get to finish!" A clone whined as it was dispelled. There were only a few clones now and he had free range of his limbs again so the Uchiha clone smirked and helped finish what the real Naruto had started.
The blonde's clones had ganged up on him in one of the apartments, had starting taking his clothes off and had been licking him. Of all things, licking him!
"Do you have a death wish?" Sasuke felt a muscle near his eye twitch as the ticklish sensation of the blonde's tongue lapping at the sole of his foot ran up his leg. He had tried to dispel Naruto's clones only to have them grab his wrists and ankles. There had been ten, maybe eleven of the clones and they all had kissed him, ran their tongues across expanses of his skin and sucked at his sensitive spots. They had reduced his clone to a heavy breathing, heap of choked whimpers, straining muscles and twitching limbs.
"Eheh, Sasuke, listen to me. I can explain." Naruto raised his hands in self-defense as he started to back away. "I didn't know they were going to do that to you." Sasuke paused as the clone's memory resurfaced, his member stirring as he remembered the torturous pleasure.
"See, this is why I want to marry him. I want to give him nothing but pleasure for the rest of his life." Another clone whispered against the crook of his knee.
Marry? His clone had wondered but it made sense now. This was something the blonde had been thinking about for a while now, weeks maybe. It soothed Sasuke's nerves that his idiot wasn't taking the matter lightly, but also scared him.
"Um, Teme?" Naruto called out the Uchiha's name cautiously. He had stopped backing away as Sasuke contemplated the memory. "We need to go talk to Obaa-san about Apricot still." The blonde made his attempt to distract the Uchiha carefully, keeping himself out of his reach.
"Usuratonkachi." Sasuke responded calmly. "I'll punish you later." He walked past the blonde, smirking when Naruto stiffened, fearing he would be hit. When Naruto realized what Sasuke had said, he caught up to the Uchiha and slipped his tan hand into Sasuke's pale grasp. Raising their hands, Naruto brushed his lips across the Uchiha's knuckles and leaned into Sasuke's pale shoulder as they walked out of the narrow street.
"This is the tarp with the seal on it." Shikamaru pulled it from under his arm and set the flattened, folded tarp and set it down on the table in front of Sasuke and Naruto on the couch.
"You're giving it back?" Naruto asked. He looked from his friend to the Hokage and then to Kakashi. "I didn't think we'd need it anymore."
"You're going to need it to strengthen Apricot's seal again." Kakashi supplied. Both Shikamaru and Tsunade looked over to the white haired jonin questioningly at Kyoko's nickname and the redhead fidgeted from her spot on the couch's armrest.
"But I thought it worked before." The redheaded genin shifted her weight on the armrest and looked between the older occupants in the room, her green eyes flicking around to each of them.
"It did what it was supposed to do." Sasuke stared at the tarp, clearly frowning. "It strengthened your seal."
"But it didn't fix her seal." Tsunade finally spoke up. Everyone but her and Shikamaru stilled, Sasuke felt the urge to raise his hand to his stomach but stopped himself. "Actually, the seal probably can't be fixed." She blatantly stated and shrugged her shoulders.
"What?" Naruto asked in surprise.
"Kyuubi is going to break through my seal again?" Kyoko called out nervously. She reached up to her braid and ran her finger across the spiked strap before looking over to Sasuke and Naruto.
"Yes, probably at a faster rate since you're living with the real container." Kakashi answered.
"Oi, we can't watch her all the time, what will happen if Kyuubi breaks free and Sasuke's not around to seal him back up?" Naruto looked over to the female genin and then back to the Hokage. He was leaning forward in his seat, frowning with his shoulders hunched.
"That's why we came here to talk to you about it." Tsunade sighed and rolled her eyes. "What do you think we can do?" The older woman looked pointedly to Sasuke. Sasuke averted his eyes and turned his head, looking to Naruto's stomach as he contemplated.
"I'm not sure. I had thought strengthening the seal would at least stave off the deterioration for another decade." Sasuke wanted to gnaw on the inside of his cheek as he tried to think how long it would take for the seal to break again.
"We don't know how long it would take, a few months, a few years." Shikamaru muttered, his sour expression growing darker as he furrowed his eyebrows. "But her seal will weaken eventually and Kyuubi will attempt another escape." Naruto glanced over to the redhead and Sasuke couldn't help but let his eyes trail over to the second Kyuubi container.
"I'm going to have seal experts start working on the problem. We might not know anything for weeks, or even months and we have a secret pregnancy to think about." Tsunade pointedly looked to Sasuke's stomach. "I'm taking both you and, what's your name again?" She paused glancing over to the redhead.
"Kyoko." The redhead answered cautiously. She lowered her head to examine her hands on the armrest.
"Yeah, you, off of probation. Of course, you'll still be confined to the village and only allowed to take missions that don't require you to leave." Tsunade looked back to Sasuke and grinned. "Actually most of your missions will be watching Kyoko do her missions to ensure that Kyuubi doesn't escape."
"At least until his maternity leave." Shikamaru interjected.
"Wait, Sasuke's going to get maternity leave?" Naruto leaned forward, surprised.
"He is pregnant, brat." Tsunade pointed to the Uchiha's seal and smirked as the blonde sagged back into the couch, pouting. "What, do you not know you get one too?" Immediately, Naruto lit back up and grinned.
"I had Sasuke so I never bothered learning about it." Naruto grinned and turned back to the dark haired male, grabbing his head and planting a sloppy kiss on his cheek. The Uchiha immediately tried to push the blonde away glaring as he pried the blonde's lips off his cheek. "Did I ever tell you that I love you?" Naruto asked.
"That's so touching." Tsunade answered for him sarcastically. She smirked and watched as the Uchiha pushed the blonde away, scowling at the show of affection. "But you two make me want to puke." The Hokage rolled her eyes and turned to Shikamaru. "Let's go, I've had enough of them for the next few days already." The lazy genius nodded and sighed.
"Wait," Kyoko called out. She raised her hand out to them with a concerned expression. "What should we do to stop my seal from weakening? I mean, what things should we not do?" Tsunade waved her off, walking out of the house as Kakashi followed her.
"Don't use Kyuubi's chakra, try not to touch each other and don't have sex with Naruto," Shikamaru had to pause when the blonde indignantly called out that he was never going to have sex with her. "That's about all I can recommend without knowing anything specific."
"It won't be a problem." Naruto yelled loudly. The redhead had been blushing when Naruto had interrupted the brunette genius but now she was as red as a tomato, embarrassed. Sasuke tilted his head towards the lazy genius's retreating back, who knew Shikamaru had a decent sense of humor?
"Oh, I nearly forgot." Kakashi called from somewhere near the entryway of the house and backtracked, silently stepping over every creaky floorboard. "Sakura wants you to go in the hospital for an ultrasound next week, you'll have to find out when to meet your sonographer from her."
"Wait," Naruto blinked in confusion. Sasuke stiffened and stared at their old teacher. "You mean we have to get a random doctor to check the baby out? Why can't Sakura just do it here?"
"You can't get an ultrasound here in the compound, all the equipment would be out of date and besides, Sakura isn't trained to use an ultrasound machine." Kakashi waved his hand and turned around again. "Not to worry, she picked out one that's experienced with your type of pregnancies."
"Kakashi! Get your ass out here!" The Hokage called out loudly. Slowly, the Uchiha dared to glance over at the blonde who was staring back at him concerned. The three in the house sat still, two of them waiting for the door to click shut and the other waiting for the older two to move.
"What are we going to do? Going to get his ultrasound is going get us discovered." Naruto asked softly as soon as he heard the click. Sasuke looked over to the redhead, the girl shifted uncomfortably before sliding off the armrest.
"I'm going to go and," She paused, biting her lower lip as she tried to think of an excuse. "Study, in the book shop near the gate." Kyoko refused to look up from the floor as she passed Naruto and Sasuke, padding her feet loudly against the wooden floor to the front door.
"It was inevitable." Sasuke replied in a soft tone as soon as the girl was out of the room. "We weren't going to be able to hide it forever." Naruto studied the Uchiha's face for a moment before relaxing his concerned expression.
"I guess I was hoping we'd be a little farther than the beginning of the second trimester though." Naruto sighed and leaned forward before falling sideways, his head landing in his dark haired lover's lap. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, looking down at Naruto's blue eyes, his blonde hair and tan skin. He watched as pink lips stretched into a genuine smile, which made his heart flutter a little. "I was kind of hoping people would notice because you'd have a big belly and we'd be shopping for baby clothes."
For a moment, Sasuke stared down at the other male and then pushed the blonde off his lap and onto the floor.
