White.



It was the only thing he could see. White everywhere around him. At first he thought he had a weird case of blindness, but he then realized it was just walls. Hospital walls, if the antiseptic smell was of any indication.



He opened his baby blue eyes and had to blink several times before adjusting to the light.



Naruto sighed as he remembered what landed him in the hospital in the first place. Stupid Sasuke. He just had to attack his obviously innocent brother over something he more than willingly gave away in the first place.



He sighed again as he felt a headache coming.



He tried getting up, only to be pushed back on the bed by a rather forceful manicured hand. He looked up, startled that he didn’t feel any presence coming into the room.



“Finally awake, huh, Brat?” Said Tsunade



Naruto chuckled “You say that as if I’d been asleep for days…”



Tsunade smirked “Nice try, but I’m not telling you anything before I make a complete check up and make sure you are okay”



She saw Naruto touch his now almost flat belly and frowned “Yes, we have a lot to talk about”



-----------



Itachi was walking through the hospital halls thinking of the news he received earlier.



Sasuke was going to be executed.



Tsunade came in that morning, catching him before he left for the hospital, as he did everyday ever since the attack, and told him he would get a chance to plead his brother’s case before the council and the temporary Hokage…



If he ever wished to, that is.



He didn’t know what to think anymore.



He knew he should be angry at him for attacking his lover. He knew he should want to torture him a little before killing him, for harming his child. And he did at first. A month ago, he wanted to be the one to rip Sasuke a new one!



But the only thought in his head now was how they were going to kill his baby brother.



The same brother he gave up his life and reputation for. The same brother waiting in Konoha’s prison for his end, and welcoming it, from what Tsunade told him.



It seemed Sasuke didn’t know about Naruto’s condition as he was knocked out (Itachi made sure of it himself) and sent to prison before the medics could stabilize the blond.



Naruto would hate him if he did nothing to stop the death of someone he loved (if only in a friendly way).



Ultimately, it was the Hokage’s decision. The current Hokage being in a coma, the decision fell back mainly on the council and also on the newly appointed temporary Hokage.



He knew he wasn’t forgiving Sasuke. But even with his foolishness, he was still his baby brother…



And there was no way he would let anything happen to him.







----------------



Tsunade finished checking on Naruto and looked into his expectant blue eyes. He was a little pale, but that would surely change with some time.



The good thing was, he was healthy as hell. It seemed as if his body didn’t undergo pregnancy, emergency C-section and a mighty Chidori that had almost blown a lung.



‘Lucky doesn’t even start to describe this…’ She thought.



She turned to him and saw his expectant look. She sighed. “Ok Gaki, ask away”



She watched him struggle a little to sit up and he frowned, worry clearly etched on his face “Where’s Itachi?”



She smirked. Of course he would ask about him first. She saw him narrow his eyes and rolled her eyes as he opened his mouth “He is fine! Tsk, no patience at all. He is probably on his way right now to spend the day beside your bed, as he did for the past month, while you were playing dead!”



She felt smug as he closed his mouth sharply and blushed hotly. “You don’t have to worry about him. Everything is cleared. The villagers think he is innocent, that he just took the blame for the massacre. He didn’t want anyone to know the real reasons the mission was ordered” She continued and he nodded, still blushing.



The blush suddenly left him as his stomach growled loudly and he was reminded of its flatness.



“Where are my babies?” he muttered;



She could see him shake as he waited for her answer, probably preparing himself for the worst. She was about to speak but a deep voice cut her off.



“They are fine. All three of them.” Said Itachi



Okay, now she was annoyed! It was the only thing she wanted to tell him. She turned to Itachi and found him leaning against the doorframe.



“Well, since you’re here, I’m needed elsewhere. I’m sure you can fill him in on everything” She turned back to Naruto “You are good to leave as soon as you want. But avoid staining activities for a little while… Not that I think it will be your priority…” She muttered the last words under her breath as she left.







--------------------



Itachi inwardly cursed as Tsunade left him to announce Sakura and Sasuke’s condition to his lover.



“You will be able to see the babies soon. And get them home also” He said and saw Naruto frown.



“Why three?” asked Naruto, and he knew he didn’t have to elaborate, Itachi would underdstand.



“Sasuke and Sakura’s is coming home with us too” He didn’t like being this vague, but he internally wished Naruto wouldn’t ask anything more. The news he had to tell him were enough for one day, he didn’t need to be told everything in one day, right after waking up.



“sakura” he heard Naruto mutter lowly. He looked into those blue eyes as understanding dawned upon them.



“How?” he asked an Itachi sighed. So much for wishing…



“She healed you and the babies. Haruno women have a condition. They cannot use Chakra while pregnant, or they could die or kill the baby. The medics managed to save the baby…”



He was trying to be as emotionless as possible. He wasn’t one to cry for people he didn’t know, even if they saved his most precious peoples.



But most of all, he knew that if he showed any emotions, Naruto would probably start crying for his lost friend, and he didn’t want his lover to cry. Not now, not ever.



He saw Naruto nod slowly, as if trying to absorb the information.



“Was she burr.. Did you go to her funerals?” He asked. He saw Itachi nod and nodded himself. He would have to go pay his respects as soon as he left the hospital.



He sighed. “What about Sasuke?”



He saw Itachi stiffen and mentally cursed.







-------------



Naruto didn’t know what he should be feeling right now.



Should he be happy for his babies? They went to visit, with Itachi, and they realized they still weren’t named. When he had asked why, Itachi simply hn’d, and Naruto understood he had wanted so they could do it together. But Naruto didn’t have the heart to do it then, and Shizune told them it could wait a little more.



Yes, he was happy for his little ones lives, but as he stood over Sakura’s grave, he couldn’t help but feel it also meant be happy for her death, and wonder why.



Why would she do this after being so bent on destroying his happiness? From the very beginning, she was against his relationship with Sasuke. It was not very visible at first, but her stunt with the medical report proved she had given it a lot of thought. But then, did she regret it? He could still remember the last time she tried to talk to him.



He had brushed her off at the time, quite easily, as she tried to apologize, and he couldn’t help but feel like shit now that he was sure it was genuine. After all, no one risked their life and their baby’s if you didn’t mean crap to them, right?



He felt Itachi back away a little and he knelt before the grave, putting sakura flowers on it and smiling sadly.



“I’ll save him” he said “Not only because I wouldn’t abandon him, but also to thank you.” His eyes watered a little “you saved my most precious persons and I’ll save yours... for you”



He hesitated a little before adding “I promise”







----------------------
