Not you, too!

15. The watcher is revealed – You did what?


The team moved over the small mountain and down into the valley. Once they reached the nearby town they altered their appearance and were simply four brothers and their sick little sister. No one wanted to verify that Gaara was indeed a female as they told the people that she might be contagious and they were taking her to the well-known healer, the Godaime of the leaf.

Meanwhile, back in the hotel room Sasuke had laid out his clothing for the day, and was preparing to make his change as Naruto looked on. The blond had a strange smirk on his face and Sasuke didn’t trust it.
“What are you planning, Dobe?” Sasuke asked.
“I plan on spending the day with you, Mommy. Isn’t that what we are supposed to do?” He answered.
“No funny stuff.” Sasuke responded, turning away and beginning his jutsu. Naruto didn’t respond as his own hands began a series of movements and signs he had only recently learned and was not as fast at, yet.
Sasuke turned back just as the blond was stripping out of his clothing to begin his own transformation. Once again that smirk was in evidence and Sasuke glared at him.
“Did you do something?” she said, pulling a deep blue dress over her head and adjusting it so that it fell just right.
“Who, me?” Naruto said, as he finished and the resounding poof covered anything else he might have said. The toddler sat on the bed and smiled at her in the same knowing way.
“That face I recognize,” Sasuke said, grabbing a diaper and quickly slapping it around the baby. Just in time, too. “Where do you store it all?” she asked.
“Mommy! Poopy!” he answered and Sasuke sighed.

The other women at the onsen cooed at the adorable blond baby, as Sasuke sank into the warm water. She had answered all the questions she could handle and even made excuses about staying only a short time, as her husband was ill, and she had to take care of him.
Naruto played in the little playpen as Sasuke soaked her tensions away. She had that feeling of being watched again, and when she turned there was a shadow behind the screen once more.
“This is getting a little disturbing.” She said to herself as she rose and carried the baby to the dressing area and prepared to go out for dinner.
It was nearly dark and they had an hour left before Naruto was scheduled to return to adult form. Then they would go for a late night walk as Ganjou and his girlfriend.
Sasuke sat at the table holding the baby on her lap as she waited for their order. It was strange to be alone in another village and she was well aware that the drain on her chakra was too much for her to do much more than the simple Sharingan spying she had done so far.
In this form she was virtually helpless and the concept was new to the Uchiha who had been training in taijutsu and such since he was four years old.
That feeling of being watched had followed her to the restaurant and was even now tingling up her spine. Her normal eyes could detect nothing, and she didn’t dare activate the Sharingan in the middle of the crowded eatery.
The sensation kept on and she could barely taste the food she ate and she ended up feeding it to the baby in her arms.
Finally, she paid the bill and rose from the seat to return to her room and supposedly sleep.
The door closed behind her and she put the baby on the floor. Naruto crawled behind the bed and explored an empty wastebasket there.
Sasuke sat on the bed and watched him, as she considered the evening and the events that had preceded it.
The whole thing about Gaara had upset her and she knew why. He had been the same as Naruto, no family and raising himself. What if the trap had caught the stupid blond?
The notes that Shikamaru was going over had hinted about a form of long term hypnosis, and using the women who resembled Gaara’s long dead mother, calling her Karura and Okaasan before the victim to add to the scenario. Naruto didn’t remember his mother or father, but there were pictures of the Yondaime in the Hokage tower and he had seen them, and finally been told of his heritage. If Naruto had been caught, it would have been just as bad, and how many people would go to these lengths to retrieve him?
Sasuke would, but he might be hindered from the task. No, Sasuke would have to make sure that whoever was behind this, never got a hold on the Kyuubi vessel like they had the Carrier of the Shukaku.
Naruto peeked his head over the edge of the bed and began pounding on it with his little hand. Sasuke watched him bounce up and down as he worked his way along its length toward the Uchiha.
“About that time, huh? Let’s get those things off of you, and then I can pack them away. I think you are done being little Taiyou.” And he lifted the child and stripped him of most of his clothing.
Naruto found himself naked on the bed. He lay back and reclined as he watched the frustrated look cross the face of the Uchiha.
Sasuke had just tried to return to her usual form but found herself still trapped in the female guise.
“What did you do?” she seethed at the blond.
“It was a little something Jiraiya taught me. I never thought that it was this useful. It traps the opponent in a jutsu, thereby sapping the Chakra, while the opponent tries to release his or her own spell. If you just don’t fight it, you’ll be fine. The way Neji altered my original jutsu it isn’t any kind of a drain on you. And I thought we could spend some time together. Get dressed, Tsuki. It’s about time you paid your cheating husband back by having a little tryst of your own.”
“I don’t feel like it.” Sasuke groused.
“Well, not now, but give me some time. This opportunity will never be so perfect again.” Naruto rose and took out some clothes from the suitcase on the table. “And you have been complaining about something recently. I might be able to help you out with that.”
Sasuke’s eyes went wide as she realized the implications. Two years of watching the blond and wondering if she had been mistaken about the interest had just found an outlet.
“Why go out at all, then? I think we are both properly dressed for that activity.”
“Because I want to take you out and show you that it’s more than just sex. I want you to keep-on wanting Me, not just solve your physical needs and then move on. I am no one-night-stand Uchiha. I am for the long run.”
“Hmm, interesting concept.” Sasuke returned.
“Yeah, so don’t think about adopting me. But, we may have to adopt a child to keep you happy, Mommy. Especially after watching you get so good at baby care.”
“You did know. You were aware the whole time!” Sasuke accused.
“Just about. I’ll make it up to you big time. Come on, I’ll help you pick out a great outfit and then we’ll go wow this town.” Naruto nearly begged.
“I am perfectly capable of choosing my own clothes. Go take a shower.” Sasuke said, picking up a bag from the floor and tossing it on the bed. Naruto smiled and carried his clothes to the bathroom
Sasuke turned and watched him go, wondering why she wasn’t more angry with him. He had trapped her in the female form, tortured her while in his baby state and was now domineering her into a date that he obviously planned to end with her submission.
But in the lines between his words, Sasuke knew exactly what Uzumaki Naruto had said.
Naruto had told the Uchiha that he loved her. And that whatever Sasuke wanted would be fine with him.
He could handle the game of pretending that she had been playing with Kankurou, as long as he got the sand ninja’s part from now on. It was okay to have enjoyed being the mother of the little boy that Naruto had become for her.
These things were small, but the big one was there too. Naruto had taken the control away and now Sasuke was free to take the submissive roll without feeling like she had given up too easily.
By using the jutsu, Sasuke was forced to be the woman and thereby giving Naruto the man’s role. Sasuke smiled at the foresight of her rival as she pulled a thin red dress over her head and allowed it to fall around her body and expose just enough flesh to tantalize and tease.
She was ready to play, and now had the proper playmate. Tonight would be magical, in more ways than one.


Naruto was amazing in the tight black pants and muscle enhancing blue shirt he had chosen. Sasuke could see that it emblazoned his eyes and made his hair seem like spun gold.
She was glad that she had chosen the red dress and the high red heels that matched it perfectly. They didn’t look like Tsuki and her boyfriend, but the way they looked at each other gave them a look of newlyweds on their honeymoon.
Sasuke was having a truly wonderful time teasing the blond and trying to get him too uncomfortable to keep up much longer.
Naruto was out to prove that he had staying power in more ways than one, and nothing Sasuke did, though it affected him, was enough to kill the evening.
It was past midnight when they stopped at the bench in the park and looked at the sky.
The moon was full and it brought a glow to the smiling face of the Uchiha in the dark.
“You are the most attractive person on the face of the earth. I could look at you all day and all night and never find a flaw.” Naruto said, cupping the soft pale cheek nearest him as he watched Sasuke’s eyes drop half closed. “I want you to know that I would have you anyway you want. I don’t mind either of your forms. I would like to be with the real you, and if that is what you want too, I’ll release the jutsu as soon as we get back to the hotel room.”
“That would be my preference, Naruto. I don’t like to think that you are like Kankurou and just taking advantage of this form. I want to be wanted for who I am, not just what I can be.”
“I have wanted you for forever. You haven’t been this for that long. Besides, I could have done this for you, too. But, that wasn’t what you wanted, was it?” Naruto said, sliding closer and shifting into the heat of Sasuke’s body.
“No. I want you to be just as you are. Strong and full of surprises.” Sasuke felt the soft touch of lips to hers and was pulled tightly into the embrace of the blond’s arms.
“Let’s head back.” Naruto said not releasing her and pulling her to her feet.
“Great idea.” And they turned to walk. Naruto wrapped his arm around Sasuke’s shoulders as they stepped off and the Uchiha slid an arm around Naruto’s waist.
Half way back to the hotel, Sasuke began to feel the familiar chakra signature and pulled away from Naruto.
“That peeker is back. I thought I was used to stalkers, but this guy is determined.” She said and Naruto began to look around. The feeling was coming from behind them and he signaled for Sasuke to wait there while he went to investigate.
He rushed back the way they had come, dodging behind poles and other items to keep from sight. He felt the strange and yet familiar chakra and when he was nearly there he slunk out from behind a pole to leap at the stalker.
Naruto found himself wrapped around a scarecrow with a weird looking purple outfit on. The stalker was nowhere to be found. Naruto looked at the clothes in his hands, realization dropped in with their recognition. A sound uniform. He dropped the dummy and ran back to the place he had left Sasuke only to find the Uchiha gone with no trace of her whereabouts.
Naruto stared at the small red shoulder bag that was all he could find of his friend and called out in a pained voice.
“NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

Sasuke had stood in the spot and watched Naruto disappear back the way they had come and when he was out of sight the feeling of the stalker’s chakra intensified and she turned to find herself face to face with a well remembered face.
“So, we finally get to spend some time alone, Katsuki Tsuki. But tell me. How does a woman become a mother when my research says that you are a virgin?” Kabuto said, leaping forward and sending his hands into the crucial chakra points to render this victim unconscious. “Oh well, I guess you’ll have to tell me when you wake up. Come, I have an experiment waiting.” And he slung her over his shoulder dislodging the shoulder bag from her as he leapt into the air.
