Sasuke Uchiha was not a womanizer, or at least he wanted to think that. Lately he was waking up in different apartments, with different girls lying next to him, he came back so often that he started to believe that he was a womanizer himself.

"But damn!" He couldn't help it, he was already turning 16, he had some needs that no matter how much he wanted he couldn't avoid them, it doesn't help that girls find him physically attractive, both him and his co-worker.

He wondered how Naruto managed to not fall into such youthful impulses and be able to continue with his life as if nothing had happened.

" Fuck!" He saw how that blonde idiot didn't understand the most obvious of hints, so much so that he and Sakura started joking about it and as always Naruto didn't understand anything at all.

Talking about things that happened lately. Sakura was a new addition to the small café, an addition they didn't know they needed.

Sakura has only been working as a waitress/helper for a month, but she proved to be very efficient with the tasks, so much so that they had increased her salary considerably in the short time she was here.

Naruto and hers weren't looking for staff so it was quite a surprise to her when Tsunade and Jiraiya brought her here and introduced her as her new coworker. Jiraiya only thought about how a pretty girl like her would bring more customers to the café. While Tsunade only looked happy to be able to help one of his students.

Tsunade was a former doctor who works as a teacher at a small high school not far from here, if she remembers correctly the high school called Konoha.

From what she could tell about the girl, she was saving to go to medical school, which is why Tsunade brought her here. Sakura was first in her class and in Tsunade's words "she had a bright future ahead of her."

He himself was curious about high school, he himself will never have the opportunity to enter one, he had not been able to finish primary school so he had no chance of entering one at the moment. Although that didn't stop Jiraiya from teaching him and Naruto business administration and management, and something else. Although that didn't mean that the guy was a complete pervert, he had his Icha Icha series of books, books that were very, very coveted by the public. Demons! They are even going to make a damn movie of one of his most popular books, "Icha Icha Behind the Curtain", he read the work and couldn't get past the first chapter without feeling bored, he wondered how Naruto could bear to read this from beginning to end, when he was Jiraiya's assistant.

He pushed the girl against the wall of his room. He gave her a deep kiss that was only filled with lust without any hint of love, just pure carnal desire and nothing more.

They broke apart to get some air, heavy breathing and gasps filling the room.

"Sasuke-kun, and-me".

The boy didn't have time to speak when he kissed her again with pure desire.

"Shit, no!"He didn't need to know her more deeply. The last thing he wanted was to feel guilty for doing this to her. He will feel extremely guilty if he gets to know her as a real person, outside of her bedroom.

There is a very thin difference between love and desire, and he didn't want to cross that line.

He himself knew why he was rambling on so much on random topics. He didn't want to think about what he was doing and who he was doing it with. Guilt was something he always felt, and he learned to deal with it by simply ignoring the guilt until it was gone, maybe it wasn't the healthiest way to deal with his problems but it did him some good.

As the darkness of the night filled the room, and the sound of light moans filled the silence. Sasuke Uchiha dove deeper into lust, leaving behind any morality he had.

Kisses that should be sweet and full of love turned into ones filled only with lust and desire, without any hint of love or attraction. As he likes it so much.

Kissing is something he especially liked to do.

"The insomnia was something she had rarely suffered in her life. It was strange for her to experience this; although she felt tired, she couldn't sleep, and it didn't help that her cravings appeared.

The redhead's words were still etched deep within her.

Naruto was by her side, deeply asleep. Both futons were placed at opposite ends of the room.

For some reason unknown to her, her body was screaming for her to eat insane amounts of ramen.

Naruto's genes must have been strong; she herself didn't love ramen, but now that she ate it again, she felt just as Naruto described it, a food of the gods.

Inexplicably, the twins that had previously kicked constantly within her belly now became calmer with their father's arrival.

Her thoughts when alone were strange, a mix of desires, thoughts, and memories.

"Just, nothing kisses."

She touched her lips, remembering those words, words that over time became merely a joke they both said when doing "couple things," like going on dates or sleeping in the same room, even when they were in different futons.

She could still remember when all this started, not just the joke, but their whole relationship.

She always thought kisses were the purest way to show love, although that belief became distorted as she grew up, though she still held onto some of that childish belief.

Now that she thought about it, she didn't even know why she banned kisses in the first place; it was just a simple impulse she blurted out in the heat of the moment.

Her face turned slightly red, her mind traveled to the night they crossed the line from mere friendship.

A rumble from her stomach was all she needed to snap out of her thoughts.

She got up from her futon to go to the kitchen; the cravings had become too strong to ignore.

She moved as slowly as possible, not wanting to wake Naruto.

She opened the cabinet where she stored some spices and instant food.

And to no one's surprise, almost everything in the cabinet was instant miso ramen.

How can Naruto stay in shape if he eats like 10 bowls of ramen a day?

She glanced at a bag of potato chips resting at the back of the cabinet.

As she reached out to grab them, the twins in her belly kicked.

She sighed lightly before changing the direction of her hand straight to the nearest bowl of ramen.

She went straight to the small stove to heat water; she had prepared instant ramen many times before, so it wouldn't be a problem for her.

Her only problem would be Naruto; that man could smell ramen within a 40-meter radius.

Sometimes she used to envy Naruto. Naruto was always sincere, genuine, and very honest with everyone. He could memorize the names of all the customers who visited his café.

She always saw him smiling happily at the customers, a smile so genuine that it made you feel warm just by seeing it. That was the main reason they started talking in the first place. She wanted to learn to smile as happily as Naruto always did. It didn't have to end like this! With the two of them lying on Naruto's apartment bed, without any clothes covering them.

But she sought that herself. There was no one else in the world who could understand her better than Naruto. She saw what no one else could see, the windows to the real Naruto. Beyond the jokes and games was someone who just wanted attention, to be someone in the world. Someone who would always tell the truth, even when they didn't have to.

The visits to the café became more frequent. The more she went, the more she learned from you. I must admit I don't know how to feel about Hinata, she doesn't stand a chance with you. You're someone who seeks excitement and constant change in your life, you hate the mundane, and as cruel as it sounds, Hinata is the personification of a boring person. Although, knowing Naruto, he would change those attitudes just for Hinata, if they ever started dating, though she doubted it."

"If Hinata didn't become more direct with Naruto, then they would never get anywhere. The mere idea made her somewhat happy, even when she didn't know exactly why.

"You should pay more attention when you're boiling water," Naruto's hands took hers. He took the match from her hands and threw it on the floor; the matchstick had already burned down, almost reaching her hand.

"You almost burned yourself; you should be more careful," the redhead boy lit another matchstick and put the water on the stove, already ignited by the match.

"It wouldn't be a big deal to get burned. I'm strong!" she said happily.

Naruto just chuckled softly. He gently stroked Ai's head.

"Yes, you are. But it will still hurt. Maybe it won't hurt forever, but it's pain nonetheless."

"Were you awake the whole time?" Ai asked.

"No. I just woke up when I heard the cabinet of my ramen being opened."

"If I didn't know you well enough, I'd say that's a lie."

Ai looked at Naruto. The redhead's eyes trembled very slightly, a tremor no one could notice, besides her.

"That was a lie, wasn't it, Naruto?"

He could only nod.

"The truth is, I can't sleep. I can't stop thinking about what will happen next," he admitted.

"What is there to think about? We both decided to have and raise these babies together. Don't tell me you've changed your mind!"

"No, no, no! I would never do something like that! It's just that sometimes I wonder if I'll be a good father, you know? We're only 16 years old. The idea of being a father at this age scares me."

Ai just rested her head on Naruto's shoulder.

"I know we'll do fine. I'm a little scared too. But we have each other to help. You said it yourself. Or are you lying to me again?" Ai clung to Naruto. She hated when he lied to her so blatantly. She always struggled to be more honest with Naruto, and his lies made her feel like with each lie, the distance between them grew wider.

The redhead boy could feel Ai's grip on his pajamas tighten. He gently stroked her purple hair.

"Ai, look at me," he gently grabbed Ai's chin, forcing her to look at him. "I want you to look me in the eyes. Every time you look me in the eyes, I want you to remember that I won't lie to you! It's a promise!"

"And you're not someone who breaks their promises," Ai said happily. She couldn't see any hint of a lie in his eyes.

"Anyway. The water is ready now. What kind of ramen do you want? We have miso, and also miso," Naruto said happily.

"One with lots of Naruto, please."

"Haha. How funny, Ai," the redhead said sarcastically.

The name "Naruto" could also be used as an ingredient in ramen, and Ai always took the opportunity to tease him when she could.

"Do you want to eat me? Because you already ate me a long time ago, or did you forget?" Naruto said teasingly.

The purple-haired girl's face blushed slightly.

"Itadakimasu!" Both youths said at the same time before starting to eat.

"After that ramen, I'll be able to sleep like a baby!" Naruto stretched his arms tiredly.

"With this ramen, that makes 13 today. You should limit your ramen consumption; it's not healthy to eat so much ramen."

"Don't ever do that to me!" Naruto said alarmed.

"I'm just kidding." Ai stretched her body tiredly. "Anyway, I'm very sleepy. The due date is approaching, so I need to be well-rested when it arrives."

Ai returned to her futon to go back to sleep peacefully. She heard the sound of something being dragged across the floor. Curiously, she turned her head, only to see Naruto, dragging his own futon and positioning it next to hers.

"What are you doing?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Sleeping, isn't it obvious."

"Just don't do anything perverted, okay?" She said in a playful tone that made Naruto blush."

"I would never do that!" Naruto crossed his arms, making an "x".

Naruto ignored Ai's laughter, and lay down on her futon.

Ai just turned his body to be face to face with the blonde.

"Why do you want to sleep with me so suddenly?

"Don't know. You can call it a teenage impulse.

"The last time we had one of those teenage impulses this happened." Ai pointed to his pregnant belly.

"did we have? According to what I remember, you were the one who hit on me." Naruto said mockingly, although he couldn't help a blush appearing on his face.

"Yes, I accept my responsibility. But you should have stopped that moment. Now, because of both of us we have to deal with my pregnancy." Ai said, also with a blush on his face.

Naruto bit his lower lip slightly, an idea crossed his mind.

"A-Ai…C-can I ask you something?" Naruto's voice became somewhat more temple-like and shy, something that was not common in the Uzumaki.

The girl looked with more intrigue at her lover.

"C-can I touch y-your v-belly.

Ai's face turned red in an instant.

"W-what!

"Don't think so badly! It's not what you think!" Naruto shook his hands quickly.

"So?" Ai I ask

"I don't know how to say it exactly, but I want to touch your belly. Not in the perverted way. I just want to do it, I don't know how exactly to say it without sounding like a pervert.

The teenager put a finger to his mouth, in a thoughtful pose. Ai's blush still present on her face.

"Good! I'll let you t-touch my belly." But if things get hotter I'll vote you out!

"message received. But I would never do something like that." Naruto nodded, agreeing to Ai's demands.

"I know. But I prefer not to risk it. Go ahead, you have my permission to play.

Naruto's hand slowly lowered to the pregnant woman's belly. Her hand was trembling, as if she was about to touch something that was forbidden. With every second that passed, Naruto's hand became more hesitant to come down.

"Come on, Naruto." There won't be another chance later "Ai said with slight frustration".

She grabbed Naruto's hand gently and guided it to her belly, underneath her clothes. She could feel Naruto's rough hand rubbing against her belly. The scene was not erotic at all for either of them.

Naruto's hand lightly caressed her belly. Ai couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you guys having fun?" the blonde man asked.

"You have the face of a teenager who discovered internet pornography." Ai said with amusement.

"For an idol you have a pretty dirty mouth, you know?

"I didn't have parents who raised me correctly, so naturally I have a very dirty mouth." Both young men laughed lightly.

"I just felt a little kick!" Naruto said excitedly.

"Yes, they often do that. I think they inherited your energy." Ai put one of her hands on her belly.

"I wonder if my parents felt the way I feel now." Both hands brushed lightly, only being separated by another piece of cloth.

"How do you feel now?" the girl couldn't help but ask.

"Happy and somewhat confused. I'm scared but I also want to do it, I want to raise these babies." A mountain of emotions that she could never explain.

Naruto and Ai's hands came closer together, but again the fabric was the only thing separating them from each other's contact.

"Maybe I never met them. But I'm sure they felt a thousand times better than you feel now."

If she was honest with herself. She would have preferred a thousand times to never have met her mother. She would have liked to think that her mother loved her, to face the harsh reality. Sometimes ignorance leads to happiness.

She couldn't help but feel Naruto's warm hand on her belly. He felt so familiar and yet new to her. This was the first time that (even in this small room), she could call this place a home. Her home. Even when she lived with her mother, that house never felt like a home, but more like a prison.

"Are you thinking about something?" Naruto's voice brought her out of her thoughts.

"Nothing much," she shook her head slightly. "Just thinking about some names for our children."

"Did the sensei tell you the genders of the babies?" Naruto asked curiously.

She simply shook her head. "No, and I plan to keep it that way. I'd like it to be a surprise for both of us."

"So?" Naruto prompted. "What's the point of thinking of any names then? I'd prefer to see them and say, 'This one looks like…' and give them a name that I like at that moment."

"If your parents had done the same, you probably would have had a different name. I can't imagine a parent lifting their child and saying, 'This one looks like a fish cake, let's name him Naruto.'"

"Haha. Very funny, Ai."

The young woman yawned tiredly. It was almost 11:50 at night.

"Goodnight, Naruto," she lay down on her futon, ready to sleep.

Naruto did the same. Both drifted off to sleep, facing each other. Both young people slept peacefully, with Naruto's hand still on Ai's belly.

--

Unbeknownst to both of them, a girl watched from above. Ravens surrounded her as if she were some kind of deity to the birds.

"Naruto Uzumaki… Ai Hoshino… Ruby Hoshino… Aqua Hoshino… Saphire Uzumaki… Minato Uzumaki… In many universes, three of them never existed. In others, two of them died at birth. In many others, Ai Hoshino dies. But this is the first time I've seen such an exceptional combination like this."

The ravens bounced around her.

"Now I hold in my hand the key to the happiness of this couple. In my hands falls the possibility of them being happy or I also have the possibility of making them go through immense pain. The pain of losing their 2 twins."

The ravens began to fly around her. The caws grew fiercer with each passing second, but strangely, no one seemed to notice.

Suddenly, the ravens surrounded her and she disappeared in the moonlight.

She reappeared on top of a tall building. She watched as a blond boy with blue eyes stared at the screen of his cell phone, which displayed a specific location.

"Miyasaki-ken," the redhead said to himself. Two dark stars adorned his ocean blue eyes. He didn't know how long he had been staring at the screen, maybe it had been hours.

She herself had to admit that it was somewhat creepy how everything unfolded as it should be. As if Gorou de Anemiya's murder were a law that must be fulfilled in every existing universe.

The ravens surrounded her again. And once again she appeared in another place.

"Miyako, is this yours?" Ichigo shook a cell phone he had found in the back seat of his car.

"No, I think someone from the studio forgot it. It looks like one of the latest touch models on the market," the woman said.

"Smart kid," the girl with the ravens said with amusement.

Hiding a cell phone and then using its equipped tracker was very clever of him.

The girl applauded.

"I've made a decision. If Gorou Anemiya dies, both his soul and that of the girl will reincarnate. But if he happens to survive… Neither of them will be able to reincarnate. After all, seeing Aqua Hoshino is my greatest entertainment. And without him, this little story wouldn't be fun for me."

The girl said to no one in particular.

The ravens surrounded her once more. And she disappeared, not to appear again for now.

End of the chapter.

As always, leave a comment about what you think.

Any criticisms you have about the chapter and all that.

Try to separate this chapter into 3 small parts.

I added the part about Sasuke since I'm going to use it later on and all that.

I also made a little reference to a story that inspired me to write this fic. Can you guess which one?

If its creator lets me, I'll try to include them in this fic, although I can't promise anything about that. I still don't have a clear idea of where I want to take this fic. I'm focusing more on Naruto and Ai's relationship.

Any doubts you have, I'll answer them in the next chapter, so you can comment on any doubts you have.

Without further ado (I think).

Leave your star.
