WHY

Chapter 12-


Naruto pov-

It's now January 15, baa-chan has given me a desk job, its sooo boring - where's the action? No fighting the bad guy, just… papers, nothing else. I think the highlight of the week was the complaint of some noble woman thinking that she had more power than baa-chan.


She insisted that the shinobi of the village needed to come and clean up her garden and front lawn. If she hadn't have fired her last four gardeners and had three more quit, then I'm sure I would have been able to find someone to take care of it for her.


She didn't like my attitude and went straight to the Hokage to formally request that I be fired of my desk job, stating that "No demon should have such a high ranking desk job; he could be a spy."


"Naruto isn't a spy and it has never been confirmed that he is a full demon - he was born of two humans. I would like you to not disrespect my shinobi. What he told you was true. If you hadn't have fired so many and have so many quit in the past six months than he would have gladly found someone of good quality to do the job for you. But as it stands madam, that is not possible. You will either have to pay extra for someone who will put up with the working conditions or go with below your standards and find someone desperate enough. Good day madam, I trust that your journey home is pleasant."


Heh, take that you noble bitch. She sniffed and raised her nose in the air at what baa-chan told her before leaving.


On my way home that day I walked through the village, watching all the families doing there dinner shopping, the kids running around laughing while the adults talked and haggled over prices while trying to ignore the biting winds that were sweeping through the area.


"So tell me how does it feel to take on the Uchiha name, DEMON?" A voice sneered at me.


Glancing over my shoulder I found a small band of men all towering over me. Sighing, I slowly turn to look at them. I knew this day would eventually come, I just hoped it would be a while.


"I'm quiet pleased, thank you. My husband more than myself. If you have an issue with my use of his name then you shall have to take it up with him for he insisted I use it. Now if you'll excuse me I must be getting home, I need to be putting dinner on in a little bit."


"Tell me whore, did you miss what they did to you so much that you went and married a man just to feel a heavy cock inside you again?" one of the men sneered when I had turned back around.


Halting my steps, I slowly turned around to see them laughing and I'm sure they saw the look in my eye's because they started calling out more names as they came closer to me.


"Stop, you know not what you speak of!" I ordered as I start to back away from them.


"Naruto!" I hear someone call from behind me. Turning to look quickly, I don't see who it is that has called my name. "Naruto!" I hear again.


Finally, who ever it was, was standing behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. Startled, I jump slightly. This caused more laughing from the group.


"What are you doing here? I thought I was picking you up today?"


"Suke, picking me up…?" I said shaking my head in confusion. "Did we have something planed? I'm afraid things got a little busy today with a noble woman complaining about her garden. And then these men here stopped to ask me a question and… did we have something planned?" Naruto rambled on as he wrapped his coat tighter around himself.


"And what was the question that it has left you in this state of distress?" Sasuke asked, narrowing his eye's at the men as they slowly backed away from the pair.


"It was nothing, Suke. Why don't we go home and I'll cook us up some of your favorites."


"That's right demon, show him what a good bitch you are! I'm sure you're the perfect little whore for him." one of the men called out as we had turned to head home.


Before I knew what happened, Sasuke had not only jumped the man, pounding him soundly, but the others either met a similar fate or ran. When he walked back to me I could see he was fuming over what had just happened.


"Has this happened before?" he asked - no, more demanded, out of me.


"Suke, it's nothing I can't handle…"


"That was not what I asked. Answer me! Has this happened before, Naruto?"


"Yes" I say in a quiet voice as I look away from him. I'm ashamed at the things they have called me. They've called me worse when I was younger, but it hurts every day I hear the words come out of there mouths.


"Why didn't you tell me? I don't understand."


"I didn't want to burden you with it. It's been happening for so long that I just keep it to myself. Please don't be angry with me, I'll tell you next time."


With that said he brushed aside a stray hair, placing it behind my ear before bringing our lips together in a soft, loving caress.

Naruto pov-

It's now been two months since our wedding and bonding. Everything seems to be fine. Baa-chan said I could go back on missions since I was doing so well. She only wants to do a check up and make sure I'm completely healthy again.


Suke say's I look healthy - closer to the weight I should be, he says. I think he's just happy I have hips for him to grab hold of during sex.


Oh kami, the sex! I never thought it could be so wonderful. I know at first I was scared - it had only ever hurt before. I never knew that it could feel good. And oh kami does it feel good. I think I tire him out before I myself feel ready to pass out.


"Naruto?" I hear Sasuke call from beside me.


"Hmm?" I say, smiling at him.


"What were you just thinking about?" he asks with a curious eye brow raise.


"Huh, why?" I ask, tilting my head to the side as I look at him. God I hope he didn't hear me - I never opened the connection.


"Mm... you were spacing off love, with what could be called a whimsical smile on your face." Sasuke said, looking at me.


"Oh, um, it was nothing. I just wish I didn't have to get looked at in order to get back to work."


"Do you miss it that much?" I hear him murmur.


I know what he's thinking - that I want to go back to work to get away from him. He's wrong. I only want to work if it's with him. I have enjoyed doing the 'couples thing' of routine and being able to sleep next to each other every night.


I don't think I really want to go with out sex for any length of time. But I miss being able to work, to fight the bad guy and all that. I know he understands that at least.


"Suke, yes I miss it, but I love you and if you really don't want me to go back, I'll take that into consideration. I just, I have hardly worked out since October and…"


"Why don't we wait till after Hokage-sama sees you, then we can decide from there, alright?" he says, changing the subject.


We didn't speak much after that.

Norm pov-


After being allowed admittance to the Hokage's office, they sat down while she looked over a few papers. Finally looking up, she sat the papers down, giving them her full attention.


"Alright, how about we go over to the table and I can do a few scans." she
said, looking over at Naruto.


"Okay. I really don't see the point of this." he said, walking over to the examining table she had set up.


After twenty minutes of confusion she looked Naruto in the eye. "By any chance while walking around town have you seen any pregnant women with you chakra reading ability?"


"Only like once, why?"


"Can you tell me what you saw?"


"Um, well it was a mother of two already, so she had a great deal of it swirling around her heart - mind you she didn't have that much chakra to begin with and the rest of what she had was around her abdomen and mind. Is there a reason why you need to know this?"


"Are you able to read yourself or is it only other people?"


"I haven't tried to read myself. Would you like me too?"


"Yes!"


"Alright." Standing up he walked over to a mirror and put the needed chakra into his eyes and as soon as that was done he gasped at what he was looking at. There was so much chakra swirling around his abdomen there was no way he was reading it wrong. "Baa-chan, please tell me I'm reading this wrong. I don't see how this could be possible."


"I don't know either. The only thing I can come up with is that it has to do with your merging with Kyuubi."


"What's going on? What are you two talking about?" Sasuke asked, looking between the two.


"Suke… I don't know how this happened but as it stands, I'm not going back to work."


"You don't know how what happened?"


"It looks like you get to be a father after all love."


"Wha.. what?" Sasuke asked, his eye's widening.


"I'm pregnant, Suke!" Naruto said with a bright smile, his eye's showing nothing but happiness.

Sasuke pov-


Slowly opening my eye's, I look around at the room I'm currently waking in. This isn't my bedroom or my bed. It's not soft enough to be my bed. Lifting my head a little I see that this room is the Hokage's office.


"Welcome to the land of the waking Mr. Uchiha." I hear the Hokage's voice from beside me.


"What happened?" I ask, confused as I start to sit up.


"You fainted!" she replied with a smile.


"Yes, and why again?" I asked, irritated.


"You found out that you're going to be a father. Naruto is a little upset at the moment. Your response to finding that out has sent him worrying that you don't want your child. It seems that trying to reassure him hasn't worked."


"Is he happy about this?" Sasuke said, sitting all the way up now.


"Of course he is! He always wanted to have children; he just never thought he could. And it's yours so there is nothing that would make him happier than to have your child." she stated.


"Where is he?" I ask, noting that I didn't see him anywhere in the room.


"At the training field. He needed to relax a bit before he came back."


"Were you able to tell how far along he is? I mean we've only been… since our wedding night so he could only be a month or so."


"He is about two months along. I figure it was that first night that he became with child." she smirked at me now.


"I see. I never thought this possible. I'll go find him, and I think the three of us need to sit down and figure out what's going on." I said before running out of the Hokage tower and towards the training fields.
