A/N: Not much to say, sorry it took so long. I'm going to try and finish this story of this month, which means that I need to pound out the chapters. I hope you guys like this chapter. Also just a warning the demon's names will be their family names except Shukaku.
Disclaimer: Same as before, nothing belongs to me
Kyuubi spent six months with his pack before his father was well enough to lead again. So for six months Kyuubi was the leader of his pack, much to Shinta's annoyance. The more time he spent with his family the more he found himself wanting a family of his own, a family with Arashi.
"Kyuubi, son" his father said as he sat next to him "are you going to stay?" he asked
"No, I need to get back to Arashi." Kyuubi said from where he sat on the branch. He sighed as he watched over the pack from his branch. He had done this every night for the last six months.
"I get it" Soukon said to his son "You really love him don't you?" the older demon asked his son
"Yeah" Kyuubi said, and then he turned to face his father. "You know Arashi and I are the only bijou mates who don't have child yet?"
"Really? How many bijou mates are there?" the older demon asked
"There are three of us. There's me and Arashi, Shukaku and her mate Karura, and Kyogyū and his mate Bee." Kyuubi said
"Why does Shukaku having a human mate not surprise me?" Soukon said with a laugh
"Because she's always pushing away from the demon norms" Kyuubi said as he watched some of the kits to make sure they didn't wander too far "You know her gaze has made their settlement so much more human, it's amazing." Kyuubi said
"We aren't going to settle like that." His father said with a laugh
"I'm not saying you should" Kyuubi said
"Son…?" Soukon started
"Yes Father?" Kyuubi said still tracking the kits
"I wanted to thank you. You did such a good job as leader, much better than your brother would have." The older demon said
The last part was punctuated with a "Hey!" from wherever Shinta was, that made Soukon and Kyuubi laugh.
"I wish your brother was half the leader that you are." The scarred demon said to his eldest child
"Kin will be a good leader and we Kuramas are stronger than you give us credit for." Kyuubi said and his father nodded in agreement.
Their conversation was interrupted by a small voice at the base of the tree. "Kyuubi!" Alina yelled up to him
"What's up?" Kyuubi called down to her
"Come down and play with us!" the ten year old called
"In a few minutes, let me finish talking to Old Scar Face, alright?" he replied
The little blonde looked upset but said "Okay, but you have to play with us!"
"Alright!" Kyuubi called down. "She's a handful" he said to his father
"Kin was far worse." His father whispered
"What was that Daddy?" Kin yelled from the base of the tree.
"I love you sweetie" he called down to her
"That's better" Kin said walking away
"I'm going to leave tomorrow morning." Kyuubi said
"Tell your mother" Soukon said "She'll kill me if you just leave without saying goodbye."
"And then she'll track me down and kill me." Kyuubi said
"Thank you for being here when the pack needed you" Soukon said throwing his arm over his son's shoulder.
Kyuubi gave a small sigh and said "No problem father." Then he jumped off of the tree limb and picked up Alina.
Soukon watched his eldest son playing with the kits; he was so good with them. Alina and her friends were climbing over Kyuubi, vying for his attention. Maybe someday he would have grandchildren from Kyuubi; they would be half human but he was realizing he could live with that. Soukon would love his grandchildren regardless.
The next morning Kyuubi said his goodbyes to the pack and he headed for home and Arashi. The journey home was quiet; at one point in time even the noises of the forest seemed to disappear. When the forest had become completely silent Kyuubi stopped momentarily. It was eerie the complete silence and what was more eerie was the old woman watching him.
"Hello?" he called out to her. Kyuubi looked around and noticed a house that he was almost positive wasn't there before. "Wha- how did that get there?" he asked. Kyuubi looked over the house; it was large, almost as large as an apartment building. Kyuubi wouldn't be surprised if it could house about twenty people comfortably.
Kyuubi was pulled out of his reverie when the old woman spoke. "Come here Kitsune." She said in a voice that sounded like the wind.
Kyuubi cautiously walked towards the frail looking woman. "Wha-?" he trailed off as she stuck a set of keys in his hands.
"The house belongs to you and your family now." She said as she seemingly faded out of existence. As she disappeared the wind began to blow and Kyuubi heard a faint whisper that sounded like "Kaze". Then the sounds of the forest returned.
Kyuubi ignored all of the sounds as he stared at his newly acquired house. "What the fuck?" he yelled into the wind.

The past three months had been hell for Arashi; he had to deal with a pregnant, bitchy, possessive Kushina on top of becoming the Hokage. Not to mention he missed Kyuubi so much, the demon was blocking him out of his thoughts and it was making Arashi nervous. With Amana's help Arashi had also figured out what had happened with Kushina, but he couldn't bring himself to leave the baby with her.
"MINATO!" Kushina yelled banging into his office. "You should be spending time with me!" she shrieked putting a hand on her swollen stomach.
"Yes Kushina" Arashi said with a sigh. The woman was six months pregnant with his child, so he was trying to be nice but she made it so hard. She had forced him to marry her two months ago and she had been clinging ever since.
"We need to go see my friends; they said that they have a surprise for us." She said taking Arashi by the arm and dragging him out of his office. The last thing Arashi wanted to do today was sit with a bunch of jabbering pregnant and no longer women.
The pair wound up at the Ramen Ichiraku, Kushina and her damn cravings. Arashi was beginning to wonder if he could last the next three months. Kushina moved over to sit with her friends Ryōka Yamanaka, Jun Haruno, Mikoto Uchiha, Yoshino Nara and Chiharu Akimichi. All of them had met at a baby store and they'd been inseparable since.Arashi stood at the front of the shop and looked at the group. Jun was bouncing her pink-haired four month old, Chiharu was cuddling her brunette two month old, Mikoto looked ready to pop probably because she was due this month, and Ryōka and Yoshino were sporting baby bumps about as big as Kushina's seeing as they were due a month before her. It was a group of hormonal women and Arashi was about ready to run.
"Honey!" Kushina whined "We want some ramen, order us some." she demanded before turning back to her friends. Arashi rolled his eyes but knew better than to argue. He went over and bought a table's worth of food and told the girl to make sure that they had everything they wanted.
As soon as the food hit the table Arashi began to inch out of the restaurant. Amana lived just down the street he could hide out there. Arashi knocked on the door and was greeted by Harou. The man let him in as he took off for work.
"Mana?" Arashi called out into the house
"In the bathroom!" Amana called. Arashi walked into his friend's bathroom to see her bathing her one year old. "How's princess?" she asked in annoyance
"How do you think?" he asked with a huff
Amana covered her daughter's ears and asked "Still a total bitch." Arashi nodded "Dump her ass" she said before taking her hands off her daughter's ears. "Grab a towel."
"Here" Arashi said handing the mother the towel at his arm. "You know that I can't do that, she's having my baby and I have to take responsibility for that." Amana listened as she dressed Tenten.
"Hang on let me put her down for a nap and then we'll talk." Amana said carrying the sleepy girl into her bedroom. After Amana had set Tenten down for her nap time, they moved into the kitchen. "Tea?" she asked
"That'd be great." Arashi said taking the proffered drink. "It's no use trying to convince me I don't have to stay with Kushina."
"This isn't fair to you, that bitch drugged you." Amana said slapping the table "She forced you into an unwanted marriage and now she's gloating that she's the Hokage's wife. That whore needs to be put in her place." Amana said angrily as she flopped down into her chair.
"But the baby…" Arashi trailed off
Amana's face softened at this and she said "Is all a pawn, she probably won't even love it. Rashi you need to get out of this relationship and soon." she said placing a hand on her friend's shoulder.
"I don't know how" Arashi said with a sob.
"I know" Amana said taking him into her arms and stroking his hair. "I know"

Kyuubi stood at the gates to Konoha and whispered "I'm coming for you Arashi." He opened his thoughts to his mate. 'I'm back' he said mentally
()()()
Arashi, still in Amana's arms, gasped in shock. "He's back, he's back" he muttered looking at the wall as if he could see through it.
"Your friend?" Amana asked wide-eyed
Arashi nodded and muttered "He's back"
"Then go get him!" Amana said letting Arashi go as she hopped up "I'll cover with the queen bitch. Go to him!" she said bouncing up and down
"Thank you" Arashi said running out of the house and to the entrance to the village. Once he had reached the entrance Arashi spotted him just beyond the gates, his mate. Arashi sped through the gates and into his mate's open arms.
"Hello Arashi" Kyuubi said kissing his mate's head
"Kyuubi! You came back!" Arashi kissed his mate passionately "I've missed you so much." he said hugging him more tightly.
"I've missed you too!" Kyuubi said twirling his mate "How have you been?" he asked with a smile
Arashi's face fell and he looked away from his mate in shame. "I'm sorry" he muttered
Kyuubi took Arashi's face into his hands and turned him gently to look at him. "Arashi, what happened?" Arashi started to cry
"I'm sorry, she drugged me." Arashi said holding Kyuubi's wrist tightly
"Arashi" Kyuubi said gently, trying to hide his anger and soothe his mate.
"This girl in the village… she-she drugged me and r-ra- had sex with me while I was drugged. She got pregnant an- and made me m-mar-marry her." Arashi through tears
Kyuubi was shaking with rage and he slid down one of the trees holding Arashi possessively against his body. "Who did this?" he asked rocking his mate gently trying to calm him, despite every instinct telling him to go rip this girl apart.
"I'm sorry Kyuubi" Arashi moaned tucking his head under his mate's chin
"It's not your fault" Kyuubi said kissing Arashi and stroking his back "I don't want to hear you blame yourself again." he said kissing his cheeks
"Don't leave me" Arashi said desperately
"I won't ever leave you." Kyuubi said kissing Arashi passionately. Together they moved further into the forest where no one could see them and proceeded to remind each other how much they loved each other. They joined together as one and came together as mates were meant to.
