Nothing new here, just another chapter, I kinda think this chapter is boring, but I hope the spice I added makes it worth it. More things are starting to fall together in the story, how much longer you say? I dunno... we shall see. Is it still winter where I live? Yes... ugh, missing summer.

==000000000000==
Sasuke laid upon his and Naruto's bed, nestled on top of a feather filled duvet, the puffed up areas cocooning him comfortably, a nest of pillows around his head. Dressed in a light cotton shirt, (one of Naruto's older ones saturated in his scent) and loose pajama bottoms, he slowly ran the palm of his hand over the now obvious swelling of his abdomen. His omega purred quietly in the dark recesses of his mind while he felt the sleeping aura of his pup nestled quietly within him. He couldn't help the small smile on his lips while his skin felt the warmth emanating from the swelling.
It had been at least a couple weeks since he came home, yes Uzumaki cabin was his home now wasn't it?, and he and Naruto had yet to tell the pack the news. Though he and Naruto had seen Tsunade since then to at least inform the elder alpha the news, that left Naruto shocked at his baa-chan's once again inexplicable ability to just know things, they still didn't seem to agree when would be a good time to tell the pack.
~flashback~
"Well it's about time you told me to my face brat!" Tsunade barked out while thumping Naruto on the top of his head.
"OW! WHAT! Baa-chan! How could you–" Naruto whined out while rubbing at the top of his head.
"Quiet brat! Stop being all loud like that! I'm standing right in front of you!" Tsunade threatened to smack the blond again by raising her fist. She glanced over at Sasuke and gave him a smile with a wink when Naruto flinched and held his arms over his head.
"Not fair baa-chan! Wah!" Naruto whined out again, but a little more quietly and Sasuke smirked at Naruto's pouting lip.
"I'm insulted that you think that I wouldn't know that Sasuke was with pup! Who else would be looking after him while you were off galavanting! Honestly!" She threw her arms up, giving an exasperated look before stepping over to Sasuke. She placed a shoulder gently on his shoulder and spoke out in a more gentle voice, "come with me pup, let's get you examined hmm?" She nodded her head in the opposite direction.
Sasuke nodded in agreement and the pair followed Tsunade into another room of her cabin that was set up to be a medical room. Sasuke hoisted himself up onto the examining table and Tsunade set to work checking him over.
When they were completed, Sasuke was given a host of prenatal vitamins and a list of what foods to avoid. After a full tea and a snack, Sasuke and Naruto headed back to the Uzumaki cabin.
"When can we tell the pack Sas? I mean–they should know, like, this is an exciting event to celebrate! They will all be ecstatic!" Naruto hummed out while driving.
Sasuke gnawed on his bottom lip at the thought. There were still strangers at the Uzumaki cabin and his wolf was heightening his protective thoughts. Sure, Utakata, Nagato, Konan and Kimimaro had been staying with the pack for several weeks now, but they weren't 'pack members'.
"Sas?"
Sasuke snapped his head over to the blond alpha. Naruto was glancing repeatedly at him, keeping his eyes on the road and then looking back at Sasuke with a questionable and concerning look.
"You okay over there? Something–"
"Hn," Sasuke responded quickly. "Not yet."
"Can I ask why?" Naruto asked out carefully. He did not want to upset his mate, but keeping a secret like this from the pack was killing him. He and his alpha were so proud and wanted the world to know they were expecting.
"It–It's just not the right time yet," Sasuke whispered out. "My wolf, it isn't sure–"
"That's okay Sas, I understand," Naruto cut him off. "I get that your wolf has a lot to say and I would be a hypocrite if I said don't listen to it." He beamed a smile at the omega. He reached over and placed his hand on Sasuke's thigh, giving it a small squeeze. "We will tell them when you're ready, k?"
~end flashback~
Sasuke nudged at his wolf, giving it the thought about telling the Uzumaki pack. The omega growled within him, expressing that it did not like the idea of sharing the pup with others. Sasuke then sighed out, his hand still rubbing his swollen stomach. But when will be a good time? When the others are gone? What if that isn't for quite some time? I can't hide this forever. Of course the inner omega couldn't respond to Sasuke's questions, it wasn't made like that.
A ping on his phone interrupted his train of thought and he swiped up to see a text message from his aniki. Seeing the message, he sat up quickly and read the message carefully. He responded quickly and slipped out of bed, grabbing some clothes to change into. He needed to find Naruto.
He found Naruto sitting with Kyuubi in one of the downstairs rooms, both alpha's looking over a large map. Both alpha's were chattering quietly to each other, pointing at various places on the paper. Naruto looked up to see Sasuke and he immediately beamed a bright smile. Jumping up quickly, he ran to Sasuke's side and pulled him in for a gentle hug.
"Hungry? Did you need something to drink?" Naruto hummed out as he inhaled the omega's scent.
"Itachi is coming, he has something to discuss with us," Sasuke responded quickly. "And other news with just me." Sasuke nodded briefly when Naruto stepped back to look at Sasuke in the eyes.
"Mm'k, we'll make a dinner of it! I'll get the steaks ready, I'll see if Hinata can get some potatoes–" Naruto started spewing out, rubbing the back of his neck with a smile. "Don't worry Sas, we'll make a family meal for the visit!"
Sasuke smirked as he listened to the blond ramble on. Itachi had been actively keeping in touch with Naruto regarding any vampire information he discovered, as well Naruto sharing with what the Uzumaki pack had discovered. The two packs were working well together, which made Sasuke smile, but Itachi didn't share what he wanted to talk to him about privately in the text. He hoped it had nothing to do with his parents wanting to see him, talk to him, or whatever. He clenched his fists slightly while thinking about his parents. Anger still surged through him when his thoughts went back to their meetings. Would he forgive his parents? He didn't know. And at this particular time, he wasn't interested in working on understanding them either.
"Hey Sas, you alright?"
Sasuke blinked a few times and realised that Naruto was staring at him, looking worried.
"You zoned out there for a bit. You sure you don't need anything?" Naruto cupped Sasuke's cheek and rubbed his thumb across the smooth marble skin.
Sasuke shook his head gently. "I'm going to let the others know that Itachi is on his way, but I'm not sure if Dei is coming too. He didn't mention if he was bringing his mate."
Naruto smiled and nodded before kissing Sasuke on his forehead. "Kyuubi and I will finish up here and then get started!" Naruto turned back to the table where Kyuubi was just watching the interaction quietly. Sasuke gave a nod towards Kyuubi before turning out of the room.
"Naruto…" Kyuubi hummed out after their short discussion and Naruto was folding up the paper. Naruto stopped folding and looked over at his alpha brother. Kyuubi bit his bottom lip briefly before he took a breath. "Umm…how did you know?"
Naruto lifted an eyebrow up at the red haired alpha. "Umm…know what?" He then scratched at his scalp.
Kyuubi pinched his lips together, taking in a deep breath, his eyes darting around the room and not at Naruto. He thought about his next words, but didn't know why it was so hard to spit them up. "Umm…you and Sasuke, was it you or the alpha, uhh… never mind," Kyuubi then shook his head and started to hurriedly clean up his papers. He snapped his head up when something grabbed his arm, stopping his movements. Wide blue eyes looked back at him, a small smile played on Naruto's lips.
"Don't ever think you can't talk to me K'uubs," Naruto sternly said but with a smile on his lips.
Kyuubi was speechless, staring at his alpha partner, the closest thing to a brother he has ever had. The one he would rough and tumble with, tease, joke around with constantly and now, here before him, was a matured alpha man, staring back at him. Kyuubi almost felt saddened thinking how much he most likely missed in the time he was gone, this Naruto appeared and acted so grown up. Kyuubi then pulled his hand up to his head, rubbed the back of his neck and smiled. "Yeah, good, sure, thanks Naru," he managed to sputter out.
Naruto nodded his head firmly, patted Kyuubi's shoulder with a supportive gesture and finished folding up the map. "With Itachi coming over, we can get some more information and share with him what we have come up with." He beamed a smile at the red haired younger alpha. "Let's get some grub prepped ne?!"
Kyuubi managed to nod in agreement while following Naruto out of the room.
~at the Uchiha manor~
"Itachi dear, I need to go over some of the arrangements for the meals with you," Mikoto called out when she entered the sitting room. She carried herself across the room with grace, her long silky hair flowing gently with the sun's rays highlighting the blue when she walked through the sunbeams coming through the windows.
"Discuss that with the kitchen staff ka-chan," Itachi sighed out as he looked over his many sheets spread out across a desk. He didn't even look up as his eyes continued to scan the documents.
"Darling, you are working yourself to death. Have you eaten yet today?" Mikoto sat down on a chair near the desk, crossing her leg and setting her paper on her lap.
Itachi pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled loudly. "You need not worry ka-chan. My mate is very assertive to ensure I am well taken care of." He tried not to come off agitated, but with the waters still choppy between his otouto and their parents, the concern about vampires and this Christmas gala being planned, he didn't know how much longer he could hold his temper.
Mikoto studied her eldest son for a few moments. "Will Sasuke be returning soon?" She bit her bottom lip. Visions of her last few moments with Sasuke were always running through her mind. He was just so angry with her and his father. She desperately wanted to talk to him some more, explain, show him that they only thought what they were doing was best. And when they learned of the situations, heartaches and trauma Sasuke went through, her heart broke and her guilt soared.
"Not anytime soon ka-chan," Itachi snapped back. "Being that he is with his mate, he doesn't have a reason to return to the Uchiha manor on a regular basis." Itachi sighed out. He must admit he missed his otouto, but the thought of him being safe, still within the same state and that he could see him at any time brought a sense of relief.
"I see," Mikoto whispered out. "Perhaps I can send him a message? A phone call? Invite him over for–"
"I do not have to remind you that Sasuke still has feelings of resentment towards you and to-chan?" Itachi hissed out the words and threw a glare at Mikoto. He was oh so tired of his parents acting like what they did was nothing to be upset over. Mikoto just frowned sadly in response. "I do not know how you expect my otouto to just take the information you shared with him, with us, on how both of you knew his status from the very beginning!" Itachi's voice began to rise, his anger starting to boil. "Hell, even I am having trouble believing that the two of you, ever so loving and doting parents," he sneered out, "would ever let Sasuke suffer for so long!" Itachi stood quickly, slamming his palms against the desk, causing Mikoto to jump slightly.
"But Itachi–"
"NO!" Itachi barked out, not letting Mikoto speak. "It would be best that you and to-chan consider together on what the two of you may do, or can do, for as long as it takes, to work on having Sasuke forgive you." He shook his head then. "But I would not get your hopes up. I for one, cannot see how Sasuke could see past the damage that has already been done. With everything he's been–" Itachi trailed off, turning to look away from his mother.
Mikoto stood from her chair slowly, smoothing out her skirt and arranging her papers. Itachi continued to look the other way, leaning against his desk, his arms folded across his chest. She stood silently for a moment, studying her eldest son's back.
"I understand," she breathed out, breaking the silence in the room. "We want to try Itachi. Please understand that." She took a few steps towards her son. "And both of us are wanting to try anything, anything, to gain Sasuke's trust." Walking around the desk, she tilted her head to see Itachi's face. 'He looks pale and exhausted,' she thought to herself. Reaching out slowly, she placed her fingers on his one arm. "We are willing to take whatever steps that both of you may request of us." When Itachi didn't move from her touch, she then moved her hand to the side of Itachi's head. "I know I failed you and your brother," her voice quivered slightly. "And that your father, well, he has a difficult time showing it," she continued while stroking Itachi's hair. "But he is hurting too, understanding the damage that we caused."
Itachi said nothing. He did lean into his mother's touch, as a cub would, listening to her words and hearing the pain laced within them. Though he had taken to entrusting his mother's words, he was still somewhat bitter towards her and his father more. He knew his parents would be blessed if Sasuke ever talked to them again, but it certainly wouldn't be any time soon. He turned and grasped both this mother's hands in his own, his eyes looking deep into hers.
"Kachan," he whispered. "I understand. Please recognize that I have heard you and father's words and am taking them into deep consideration." He squeezed her hands. "But decades of deceit," he shook his head, "cannot be repaired overnight."
Mikoto shook her head in understanding, her lips in a sad frown but she knew that this would be the result. Though deep down, as a mother, she had some faith that perhaps her sons would be more forgiving in time.
"Thank you for allowing this Christmas gala to happen. I promise it won't be too intrusive and understand that your father and I are very proud of you both. We want to express that to the clan and others in the future." She leaned up and kissed Itachi on the cheek. "I will go and see the staff about the details regarding dinner." She squeezed and tapped his hands in a comforting manner before turning and leaving the room.
Itachi sighed as he watched his mother leave the room. He really did love her, as a cub would, but he shook his head at the sadness that hung over their family group. It would have never been this way if they only spoke up for what they believed in, be damned the elder Uchiha's and the clan values. Gathering up his items, he packed to head over to the Uzumaki household.
Itachi went to his and Deidara's room, where he was certain he would find his mate. His breath hitched when he entered their room, to find Deidara sitting by their balcony window, basking in the sunlight. He was brushing his long silky blond locks of hair, humming a tune to himself. His alpha beamed with pride at seeing the beauty, but Itachi wanted to see how his omega was holding up. He came up beside the omega and placed a kiss upon his crown, possessiveness rising up in his groin when Deidara hummed out a pleasurable response.
"Morning 'un," Deidara cooed out, raising his hand to stroke at Itachi's long black locks. "Did you get done what you needed?"
"Hn," Itachi responded before gathering up Deidara's hands in his own. "I am going over to see the Uzumaki pack, would you like to join?" He kissed Deidara's palm.
Deidara's eyes widened and sparkled in the sun. "Of course I would like to see Sasuke-kun! And of course Naruto-kun too, plus I would like to meet the wolf that saved Kisame! Let me just get changed!" Deidara jumped from his chair, placed a chaste kiss on Itachi's lips before scooting away to their luxurious closet while still humming a tune.
Itachi smiled at the omega. He was so vibrant and carefree, even after what they had been dealing with as of late. Their visit with Tsunade went over without a hitch, but they were waiting for the final results of what could be the issue of why Deidara was not falling pregnant. Itachi's alpha grumbled out with disgust at the remembrance of what Deidara had informed of his past. The human side of Itachi knew that there was nothing he could do now, but the alpha did not know of such things. After that day, Itachi spent hours making love to his mate, bringing him to pleasurable explosions time and time again. He didn't know what he could do to make his mate feel better, though Deidara would tell him over and over he was happy, Itachi needed to ensure that his omega could feel his devotion for him.
He smirked and allowed the possessive feelings to flow through him when he saw the many markings on his mate's body from that previous evening. His alpha was overflowing with pride at seeing them as well, and everytime Itachi saw those love markings, he couldn't help but mount the omega again and again. Itachi huffed out a snort when he remembered how Deidara was having trouble walking the next morning. Being the loving mate he was, Itachi insisted Deidara stay in bed and he doted on the omega all throughout the day. Bringing him food, carrying him to the washroom, taking care to scrub all his body with rich smelling soaps and oils–and then of course, he couldn't help but take Deidara again and again.
His body tingled with desire as he recalled the blond blushing furiously beneath him, the sweat causing his skin to glisten, swollen pink lips from his assault of nipping and licking, and the cries of pleasure escaping that hot mouth of his. The way his girthy cock filled his slicked up cunt easily, causing the omega to squeeze his muscles from the stimulation while dragging his nails along his back. Itachi licked his lips and adjusted his awakening penis. He needed to settle down or else they would never get over to the Uzumaki home, but maybe…Itachi grinned hungrily, making his way to the lavish closet.
Stalking his omega, he peered around the closet doors, seeing his beautiful mate bending over various drawers, muttering to himself on what he should wear. Itachi swooped up behind the blond, chuckling quietly when Deidara released a squeak of surprise.
"Itachi 'un! What the hell–" Deidara whipped his hair around, his soft blue eyes turned wide in seeing the lust blown eyes of his mate, licking his lips and looking him over as if he was a piece of meat. "Oh my 'un, what has–"
Deidara had no time to say more when Itachi devoured his lips immediately and thrust his hardening package against the omega. "Oh–oh I see," Deidara immediately purred out when Itachi began to tongue and nip at his neck. His alpha's hands were pawing all over his body, seeking and touching his skin before easily sliding down the pajama bottoms to his ankles. Deidara's skin immediately began to feel as if it was on fire and his hole began to tingle with desire.
"Ita–chi 'un," Deiara panted out when the alpha began suckling on his lower abdomen, his hands squeezing his ass and fingers probed at his opening. "We–we –ayeeee…" Deidara lost his words when warm lips and a slicked tongue took his omega cock suddenly. Deidara grasped at the long silky dark locks, holding them tight as Itachi began to suckle on his dick. "Sh–shit, f-f–uck!" he cried out, his head falling back and he bit his bottom lip.
Itachi's tongue wrapped and swaddled the omega cock, humming out when the sweet essence of precome filled his mouth. His alpha growled out with desire and a strong pull to claim what was already his. Itachi's fingers slipped his fingers into the slicked up cunt of the omega, dragging his teeth down the silky hardened flesh in his mouth when Deidara groaned out lewdly in response. The omega's legs were quivering and his hips were trying to thrust faster into Itachi's mouth.
"Je-Je-suzz fuck 'tachi!" Deidara howled out when he felt his cunt breached with thick fingers, sliding all along his inner walls, causing vibrations of pure ecstasy to make him swoon. His fingers clenched those black locks tighter to hold himself up, his hips snapped without his consent into the alpha's waiting mouth and bright flashes of colour invaded his senses when his orgasm rocked his core.
Itachi held the omega tight while his fingers plummeted into the slickened hole, he could feel all the muscles contracting firmly around them when his omega orgasmed. His mouth was eagerly lapping up Deidara's essence and his alpha growled out in hunger, seeking more of this beautiful mate. Itachi just wanted to please his omega, to hear his cries of ecstasy and not cries of sorrow as he heard a few weeks before. His heart clenched at the memory and he shoved those dark thoughts out of the way to focus on the scent, sounds and taste of his now quivering omega. Though his thick cock was throbbing with wanting release, he pushed the thought and his alpha back into the recesses of his mind to concentrate on Deidara.
Deidara's body quaked with aftershocks. The heat around his cock, the tongue that lapped at it, the vibrations from his alpha's mouth had Deidara barely being able to stand. His body shook almost violently, but it was all oh so pleasurable. Deidara began to pet his alpha's hair, soothing it back, after he realised that he was so lost in bliss, he may have pulled a few of Itachi's hairs out. His inner omega rolled over with loud purrs in his mind at the attention and praise from the alpha, and Deidara finally collapsed to the closet floor, into his alpha's arms.
"Holy–good god almighty–oh my god 'un," Deiara panted out, his forehead now resting on Itachi's shoulder. "Wha–how come?" he whispered out.
Itachi kissed Deidara's ear, his hands rubbing his back softly and lovingly. "Because I love you," Itachi whispered huskily.
Deidara shivered at the words. Pulling back his head, he looked into the deep dark abyss of the eyes of his alpha. Those eyes, so perfect, so full of love, devotion and pure power all directed at him. He smiled warmly and placed his lips on the other, slow and gently, pushing his devotion back to the alpha. The alpha responded heatedly, pulling Deidara in as close as possible, humming out an approved sound while lacing his hand behind the blond's neck. "Let me take care of you," Deidara panted out, his hands discovering the massive hardened package between his alpha's legs.
Itachi chuckled deeply before releasing a small hiss when his mate fondled his confined cock. "No pet, it will be okay. All that matters is you," Itachi whispered and placed his palms on Deidara's cheeks, holding his head steady. Those perfect light blue eyes sparkled with sedation, the look when Deidara was in post orgasmic bliss, a sight he never got tired of. "We need to get to the Uzumaki household, but–I'll take you up on that promise for later," he purred out.
The pair took their time getting up from the floor and finding other items to wear, Deidara fawning and giggling about seeing Sasuke again and Itachi just watching his mate closely with a small smile on his face.
~later that day~
"Aniki," Sasuke spoke and bowed his head when he opened the door at the Uzumaki cabin.
"SASUKE-KUN!" a loud wail broke through the sound barrier and Sasuke found himself glomped and in a sudden hold. "Oh baby! How I've missed you!" The voice shrieked out through the house, and Sasuke allowed his brother's mate to do what he wanted. He mentally rolled his eyes, knowing that there was no stopping Deidara when he got like this and it got worse when Sasuke became pregnant. But over all, Sasuke had to admit that he and his wolf appreciated the doting by the elder omega, that left a calming protective feeling over him when Deidara got like this. Except when–
"Dei–Dei–can't br-breath," Sasuke began to whine out as his body was rocked back and forth, his face smooshed into Deidara's chest and his arms locked to the side of his body.
Itachi chuckled and stepped up behind his mate. "Come now Dei, let otouto go, I'm sure he is happy to see you too." Itachi patted Deidara's shoulder and Deidara finally released Sasuke, but not before placing many kisses over the stoic younger raven's face.
Itachi moved in and gave Sasuke a gentle pat on his shoulder, before slipping off his shoes, Deidara following suit. Sasuke then led them to another part of the house, a more private area, where the three could talk alone.
"You wanted to discuss something with me niisan?" Sasuke asked while clicking the door shut behind them quietly.
"Hn," Itachi hummed out in response as he stepped into the quiet and sunny small sitting room. The area was quaint, it had a homey type feel to it, with deep warm coloured drapes, thick carpeting and large plump armchairs. Itachi took a seat at one of the large armchairs and smiled when Deidara pulled Sasuke's hand towards the other chair. Sasuke's expression was that of a little boy with a slight pout that he was being taken somewhere he didn't want to be. But Sasuke, being Sasuke, allowed Deidara to drag him to the other arm chair and sat on the large arm rest beside Deidara who was in the bowl of the chair. Deidara proceeded to rub Sasuke's back lightly, under his shirt, which he knew Sasuke secretly enjoyed. Sasuke discreetly bit on his lower lip at the warm comfort feeling before looking at Itachi, waiting for him to start.
"Deidara and I have been to Tsunade-sama for medical appointments and we just thought we would let you know," Itachi spoke, thinking that being to the point was most likely the best way to start.
Sasuke's back straightened while his eyes widened slightly in surprise. He glanced between the alpha and omega, "is something wrong? What's happening?"
Deidara patted Sasuke's leg, "fear not, it was just a check up mostly for me."
Sasuke noted the sad smile Deidara gave. "What's wrong?"
Deidara sighed out and appreciated the concerned look Sasuke gave him, "we are just seeing why I can't be with pup." Deidara clasped his hands together and dropped his chin. "It's been many years, and–and the thought wasn't there until just recently 'un." Deidara looked away.
Sasuke felt a pang of guilt. It had never crossed his mind on why Deidara hadn't been full of pups by now, but now, that he himself was with pup, and Deidara and Itachi had been together for well longer than he and Naruto– Sasuke frowned sadly and dropped his head. "I'm sorry aniki," he whispered out.
"Oh baby, don't be sorry," Deidara cried out and pulled Sasuke onto his lap, hugging him tight and nuzzling his hair. "Oh my god baby, don't think that it's your fault!"
Sasuke let himself be coddled, his inner wolf basking in all the attention from the older omega. Lately it was one of his wolf's favourite things as of late. 'Stupid hormones, stupid wolf,' Sasuke muttered to himself.
"I agree otouto," Itachi added. "We wanted to let you know what is happening because we are family." He gave Sasuke a warm smile and a nod. "Should anything happen, though it shouldn't," he continued. "We would like you to know what is going on, with us." Itachi pointed between himself and Deidara a couple times.
"And no matter what happens, we will be sure to let you know 'un," Deidara whispered in response while petting Sasuke's hair.
"Hn," Sasuke breathed out shakily. He blamed his hormones for being so emotional with the news and took several breaths. He let Deidara coddle him a little longer before he managed to ask the inevitable, "and did Tsunade-sama find an answer?" He was almost too nervous to hear an answer, trying to keep his voice steady.
"Nothing yet 'un. Tsunade-sama did some examinations and tests. We should hear from her soon." Deidara nodded his head repeatedly and looked over at Itachi.
"When we know, you will know otouto, promise," Itachi hummed out.
Sasuke nodded his head in agreement before standing up. "Thank you for keeping me informed. If you are ready, we can go meet with Naruto now."
Following Sasuke down another corridor, Sasuke opened a small door to where Naruto was waiting with Kyuubi in another sitting room. Naruto beamed a smile when Itachi and Deidara walked into the room.
"Itachi! Deidara! Great to see you!" Naruto exclaimed, jumped from his chair and went to greet the fellow alpha and his mate. "It was great to hear you were coming and I certainly hope you are staying for dinner?! We gonna get some steaks–"
"Dobe," Sasuke cut off Naruto. "Stop rambling," he grunted out and took a seat at one of the chairs.
Itachi and Deidara chuckled. Itachi shook Naruto's hand and Deidara hugged Naruto. "Thank you Naruto, we would be honoured to stay for dinner," Itachi responded.
"Great!" Naruto patted Deidara on the back through the hug and gave them both a smile. "But I guess we should get this situation discussed. Any new information regarding a coven that may be involved?" Naruto took a seat beside Kyuubi after Itachi and Deidara sat.
Itachi shook his head. "What we know is only what we knew of the history and we do not have any intel on the covens. There has not been any reports of anything out of the ordinary for several years from the area packs."
Naruto scratched his scalp and pinched his lips. "Okay, well, here are the reports of when vampires were scented near our borders. I can't seem to figure out any sort of pattern." He slid a book towards Itachi that had the dates and location of the scents that his pack discovered. "And we have only what we know of their culture and Kyuubi's close contact to go by to determine that our pack is in danger. I can only assume that Uchiha may be in danger as well since Kisame and Hidan were involved with the group when we came upon them. We don't know if the vampire Kyuubi met is with the same coven that attacked Kisame and Hidan." Naruto blew out a raspberry and slouched in his seat.
"My thoughts are that both our packs should be prepared for an inevitable attack," Itachi hummed out as he went over the small book of dates. "It is unfortunate that we will not know when it will be, nor if it will be one coven or more." Itachi frowned and tapped his finger. "And what of Utakata-kun? Has he been able to offer more information?" Itachi raised an eyebrow at Naruto and Kyuubi.
Naruto shook his head no. "Utakata has only been able to confirm that the vampire coven's only goal is to feed and decimate. They do not see any other way of living other than dominating what they can." He ran a hand through his thick blond hair.
"I get the impression that Utakata can offer more information," Itachi hummed out.
Naruto shook his head in agreement, "but I won't force him Itachi. Whatever his story is, he's still pretty nervous around us." He crossed his arms and pinched his lips.
"Can I meet him?" Deidara piped up, the group's eyes looked at him with surprise. Deidara shrugged. "Well, I want to thank him personally, for what he did, for Kisame. Cause if it wasn't for him…" Deidara's voice trailed off.
Itachi, Naruto and Kyuubi just looked at each other before Itachi turned to Deidara. "I will accompany you," he spoke firmly. He recalled how his inner alpha reacted when he met with Utakata weeks prior. He looked at Naruto for confirmation and Naruto just nodded in agreement.
"Aniki," Sasuke spoke up. Itachi turned to look at him. "You stay, I will go with Deidara." Itachi scoffed and frowned in response. Sasuke smirked, "only because I think your demure can be somewhat intimidating with a dash of daunting aura." He chuckled out when Itachi gave him a look of disbelief. "You aren't exactly easy to talk to," Sasuke scoffed out and flipped his hand for emphasis. "Let me take Deidara to Utakata. And besides, Utakata has approached me a little more over these last couple weeks. He appears comfortable with me."
Naruto's mouth plunked open at Sasuke's response.
Sasuke gave a smirk at the blond. "Close your mouth dobe, you'll attract flies."
Naruto snapped his jaw shut, "teme!" He proceeded to poke his tongue out at his sassy omega and Sasuke just huffed out a humorous snort.
"I'll go talk to him," Deidara whispered to Itachi and patted his hand. "You continue your meeting with Naruto-kun and I'll come find you as soon as we are done." He gave the alpha a soft smile. Itachi grumbled under his breath and then agreed.
Sasuke and Deidara then headed out of the room, leaving the alpha's to their meeting. Sasuke led Deidara to the room Utakata was staying in and knocked on the door. "Utakata, it's me, Sasuke. I have someone that would like to meet you," Sasuke called out gently. A shuffling was heard behind the door before it cracked open slightly. The wolf peeked through the door, brown eyes glancing over Sasuke before looking over at Deidara.
Deidara wiggled his fingers in hello along with a smile. "Hi! I'm Deidara!" he exclaimed.
Utakata just stared at the blond omega and shifted his eyes back to Sasuke before opening the door more. He eyed the two omega as they walked into his room, but he quietly clicked the door closed and turned to look at the blond and raven. He said nothing but just examined the two warily. Sasuke he knew, but the long blond haired omega was not from the Uzumaki pack. Taking in the blond omega's scent, he blinked rapidly at the familiar scent of the Uchiha alpha surrounding this omega. His heart sped up and something dark and deep within him began to stir in wake. Stepping back, his back hit the closed door and his palms splayed across the wood. He didn't know what this omega wanted, he seemed harmless, but a trickle of uncertainty continued to rise up.
"Utakata, this is Deidara Uchiha, my brother's mate," Sasuke explained quietly. He took in Utakata's sudden stance and wasn't sure what Utakata was thinking but could sense the uncertainty on him. "Deidara wanted to meet you," he spoke calmly and nodded towards Deidara.
"Mhm, I wanted to say thank you," Deidara expressed calmly. He folded his hands before him and started rocking on the balls of his feet. Giving a small smile, "thank you for saving Kisame."
Utakata's stance relaxed slightly after hearing the two omega's talk and just as soon as that dark inner feeling was beginning to wake, it was suddenly silent again. He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't like the feeling that rose when he met the Uchiha alpha clan leader, and certainly didn't want it to return.
Deidara then started rubbing at the back of his head. "I don't really know what you did, but it saved Kisame's life." Deidara then smiled shyly. "Can I ask where you are from?"
Utakata shuffled towards the small table and chairs in the corner of the room, his eyes not leaving the blond. "I'm from many places but not from anywhere that is consistent." He sat at a chair, clasping his hands together and tucking them under his chin.
"Well 'un, that doesn't matter." Deidara flapped his hand at Utakata. "What matters is that the Uchiha clan appreciates what you have done and are in your debt! I don't know what to do for ya 'un?!" Deidara tapped a finger on his chin, his lips pinched tight in thought. Sasuke just raised a brow in response to Deidara's outburst.
"Oh!" Deidara exclaimed, making Sasuke blink and Utakata flinch back. "We could bring you over for dinner! Take you to the club to meet others, take you shopping!" Deidara began to clap his hands excitedly, a smile beaming on his face. "Come check out how our pack works too!" Deidara was now bouncing in his chair, his long blond locks swaying about while looking between Sasuke and Utakata.
Sasuke just shook his head with a smirk. This was normal Deidara behaviour, thus he was used to it. He looked over at Utakata briefly and tilted his head trying to determine how Utakata was feeling.
Utakata sat up straight and rigid, his eyes taking in the over-exuberant omega. What type of behaviour was this? He didn't know what to make of it. As Deidara continued to babble on, Utakata took a few breaths to scent the air, not knowing exactly why he was doing it. His inner wolf was vibrating some unfamiliar feeling, but he didn't feel any threatening aura's from the two omega wolves. While the blond long haired omega chattered animatedly, Utakata took in the two scents.
Both omega scents were warm, inviting, soft and caring. Utakata scrunched his nose slightly, surprised at the scents. Never had he felt such calming wolves for as long as he could remember. His inner wolf seemed to paw at his mentality, releasing a cooling serene feeling and he brought his fingers up to his temples, rubbing at them gently to blank out the sounds and scents in the room. It was suddenly too much.
"You okay 'un?" Deidara's voice called out, breaking Utakata out of his moment. Deidara was now kneeling by Utakata, his soft blue eyes looking at the other in concern.
Soft brown eyes opened to look back at soft blue, blinking slightly. Utakata studied the blond omega, seeing the concern etched all over his face. He then glanced over to the raven haired omega, who leaned forward slightly in his seat, his dark eyes looking at him with the same sense of concern he could see in Deidara. 'These omega's are so…so…'
"Utakata-san?" It was Sasuke this time, calling out.
The brunette blinked again, trying to process the emotions that currently washed through his body, his inner wolf expressing these warm waves and making him feel… at peace? Utakata dropped his chin, looking down to the floor and mentally focusing on his wolf. 'What is it about them that makes me want to–to….' Utakata frowned. He couldn't identify this feeling. He shook his head out of frustration.
"Hey, hey," Deidara called out, placing his hand on Utakata's knee lightly. "It's okay if you don't want to. I'm sorry–"
"No, no…that's not it," Utakata finally was able to push words past his lips and lift his eyes to the blond omega. "Thank you, I–I would be honoured to, though not necessary…"
Deidara let out a long breath and smiled at the brunette. "Nonsense! I'll make plans to have you over soon!" He stood up, hands on his hips and nodded a firm head shake. "I'll let Sasuke know when's a good time, Sasuke will talk to you, and we will start from there 'un! K?" Deidara clapped his hands again, looking over at Sasuke, his cheeks glowing warmly and smiling.
"Okay Dei, let's not get him over-stimulated," Sasuke chuckled. "Let me introduce you to the others. Thanks for your time, Utakata, we will talk soon." Sasuke waved his hand at Deidara, beckoning him to follow through the now open bedroom door.
"Others?" Deidara perked up, eyes wide in wonder.
"Yeah, and the pup too," Sasuke added as he opened the door.
"Pup?!" Deidara was now bouncing after Sasuke immediately. "See you later Utakata-kun!" Deidara called out, waving quickly as he pulled at Sasuke's arm, whispering about a pup, who's pup, how old the pup was, and so on.
Utakata stood, watching the pair of omega's walk down the corridor and tried to process what had just happened. Sasuke he was more familiar with through their many conversations, but this other omega…
"Curious…" he whispered before closing the door quietly. He needed a nap.
