Not you, too!

18: Rescue Complete – Who is Pregnant?

Naruto cut the straps from Sasuke’s arms and shoulders, freeing the Uchiha from the table. Sasuke sat up and looked at the crumpled body in the corner.
Kabuto’s heart had ceased pumping blood from the huge gash that the blond had made in his neck and his head toppled at an odd angle. Tsunade herself would not be able to save him at this point.
The Uchiha took the kunai from her friend and cut the bonds at her thighs and ankles, releasing her legs and she slid off the side of the table.
“Whoo hoo!” came as small voice at the window that the blond had entered earlier and when Sasuke looked a small orange frog sat there.
“Who are you?” she asked.
“Nice tits, Sasuke-chan,” the thing said.
“Shut up, Gamatatsu.” Naruto said, sending a kunai into the window frame as he grabbed a sheet to throw around Sasuke’s body.
“The little beast is right, Dobe.” Sasuke said standing. “There is as girl behind that curtain. We need to take her with us.” And she draped the sheet tighter around herself. “Did you happen to get me any clothes?”
“There’s a pack out the window. I got you two dresses, the rest are your regular clothes. I wasn’t sure how long we would need to keep up the disguises. The rest I sent off to home.”
“Good. Meichan can wear one of them.” She said, reaching over the smirking frog and pulling two packs into the room.
Naruto had cut away the straps on the unconscious girl, than he pulled the curtain down and covered her. Sasuke opened the pack and pulled out the two dresses.
“Here put this on her, I never really liked it.”
“Why are we taking her, Sasuke?” Naruto asked as he worked his hands through the dress and pulled it over the girl’s head.
“Kabuto had something. He claimed it was Orochimaru’s baby or a clone of him. He’s put it into one of us. We need to let Tsunade check her over. I am not letting a baby of that maniac’s run loose somewhere.”
“Sasuke?” Naruto said turning and staring as the pale blue dress slid down over Sasuke’s hips.
“What?” Sasuke asked adjusting the tie and shifting it around herself.
“He might have put it in you?” Naruto asked. “How could he do that? Are you sure?”
“I don’t know where he put it. He was with her first, but he didn’t say where it is now. I’m going to have to stay like this until Tsunade checks it. So, I want to get home fast.”
“No kidding!” Naruto said, finishing the girl and grabbing his half empty pack from the Uchiha.
Naruto collected his weapons and rummaged around the building for supplies then he slung the pack on his shoulders before lifting the girl and heading for the door.
Sasuke picked up the other pack and slid into some sandals before following Naruto out the door.
Gamatatsu followed them through the town and over the roofs until they had reached the park and the trees growing through the walls.
Sasuke slipped through as Naruto watched for pursuit then he followed her and they hurried away from the town.

Gaara stood in the center of the path watching the swirl of leaves and listening for a sound that had caught his ears.
Shikamaru dropped down next to him followed by Neji, Choji and Kankurou.
“What is it?” He asked.
“I heard something. I am not positive but I think it was Naruto.” Gaara said looking toward the trees ahead of them. The others followed his eyes as a figure emerged from the forest followed by another.
As they came closer, Gaara recognized the blond but his expression proved he did not realize that one of the two women who were with him was actually Sasuke in disguise.
Shikamaru stepped forward as they dropped to the road before the team and caught their breaths.
“Why are you still in this guise?” the Nara man asked as Kankurou relieved Naruto of the unconscious girl in his arms.
“Emergency. Will explain, later.” Sasuke said leaning on the shadow ninja as her dwindling supply of chakra began to catch up with the degree of activity she had been involved in.
“Yeah. Meichan is going to be coming home with us. We ran into Kabuto and he won’t be hurting anyone ever again.” Naruto said, looking from face to face.
“I think we need to get you back to town we have a couple of rooms and you can rest. Have you been using the jutsu the entire time?” Shikamaru asked, supporting Sasuke as they turned and headed back towards the rooms they had left only an hour before.
As Shikamaru and Sasuke reached the other waiting ninjas, the Uchiha turned and smiled at the scowling redhead.
“Good to see you’re feeling better, Gaara. But you were incredibly cute the last time I saw you.” Sasuke teased.
“Sasuke, don’t start. I already told you.” Naruto said, sliding under Sasuke’s other arm and pulling her past the confused looking sand Kage.
“Come on Gaara.” Choji said, carrying Sasuke’s pack as well as his own. “You can hear all about it when we get back.”
“The Uchiha has grown breasts?” Gaara asked quietly.
“No. He’s just using Naruto’s Orioke no jutsu. It was part of the mission but he should have turned back by now.”
“They are nice breasts,” Gaara added with no expression as he followed.

“So, one of you two is pregnant? And the baby is the clone of Orochimaru? And if you change back into a male, it would probably kill said baby, and this is bad, why?” Kankurou asked, shaking his head.
“Because it isn’t the baby’s fault. It is innocent and can still be raised to be a healthy part of society. Don’t start suggesting things you don’t understand.” Sasuke said, bringing a look to him from each and every face in the room.
“I didn’t know you were pro-life, Sasuke?” Neji suggested.
“I didn’t know there was another option. I won’t kill innocents. I would gladly kill Orochimaru over and over again, but this baby didn’t do anything.” And she moved away from them to leave and head for the other room and a much needed nap.
“I sure hope it isn’t him.” Naruto said, slunking in the chair he had chosen. “He is already moody enough. I don’t think I could handle him as bad as Kurenai was when she was pregnant.”
“I couldn’t handle the nine months of his bearing those breasts.” Gaara added. “And they will surely grow, to the size of the Hokage’s.”
“Gods, Gaara. I know we had an agreement, but that didn’t include giving me emotionally scarring mental images.” Naruto said, gagging dramatically.
“Agreement?” the Hyuuga repeated for the two demon bearers.
“Yes.” Gaara said simply.
“I could interfere with anyone that came in contact with Sasuke except Gaara and he would do the same. That’s why he got that close when we were called to his village; the time they had to send two missing nins back and we were chosen to escort them. That was just before Mozuku disappeared. By the way, I had nothing to do with that part.” He said looking up quickly. “Anyway it was because I needed a quick excuse that Tsunade sent us, and yes, she is in on it. Don’t even ask how I got her cooperation, cause I ain’t saying. So, she sent us and there we were. I knew what playboy here was up to but couldn’t interfere. Sasuke was shocked, and that was why he didn’t go along with it, but I wasn’t sure if it was actual disinterest or just his usual pulling away when something doesn’t fit his personal idea of how it should go.”
“Then he comes to me and starts telling me how surprised it had made him and how he wasn’t sure what to do, and needs my advise. Gods, I couldn’t tell him not to go for it; cause that would be interfering and I had my agreement to live up to. So, I just told him he needed to sort out his decision in life. Then, he tells me this sob story about how nothing goes his way anyhow and I told him to stop being pessimistic and look for the bright side and he goes and solves part of his Sharingan. Now he has this great insight, but no answers to his sexuality questions. It was a major setback.”
“So, you were trying to get him to figure out if he was really gay, and he solves the Seidan instead?” Choji said.
“No, I was trying to get him to look my way, and he keeps looking everywhere else. Dude; get your priorities in line. Sasuke has been gay for years. He knew it when Sakura kept chasing him. He just wasn’t sure about Me. So, now he knows that Gaara is and won’t look my way to save his own life. I happen to Be his bright side, okay?”
“Okay, so he turned down Gaara and still wasn’t ready for you. Now, we are up to our little part of the story, right?” Shikamaru asked.
“Sort of. See, that was back in January, and then we had to deal with the whole Kiba and Hinata thing. So, we have been too busy to even talk about it since then. Choji challenges me to this new jutsu, and I spent two months training that to perfection and Sasuke acts like he doesn’t even miss me. I was a little hurt. I pretended it was an overflow of the jutsu and called it Misplaced Infant Sadness Syndrome. MISS. And I MISSed all over Tsunade-baachan for two days.”
“Naruto you have really added some different dimensions to my Jutsu, you know that?” Choji said a little too reverently.
“Thanks, Cho-man. I have tried. By the way, I think you should all know that it doesn’t affect me the way it does Choji. I was fully aware and could return at anytime, without any special word or anything. I just did it that way to keep My Sasuke from freaking, and by the way Kankurou, you really need to work on your father skills. You suck man.”
“Naruto you will never fail to amaze me. You’ve come along way from the oblivious little kid we all knew and laughed with.” Shikamaru said, shaking his head at the irony of it all.
“Shadow man, I was never oblivious. And you mean laughed at, but that's okay. Now I am tired. I’m going to find my lady and curl up for the night.” And the blond rose and left them all to stare after him.
Gaara watched him go and sighed.
“He will win eventually. He has the secret and will not share it.” The Kage said, as he too rose and crossed to the unused bed in the corner and dropped onto it.

Naruto made his way across the hall and into the other room. He dropped his jacket and some of his sharper weapons and climbed onto the bed next to the sleeping Uchiha. His mesh undershirt the only thing between him and the soft skin of the exhausted ninja.
“Why are you sleeping naked, Sasuke?” he whispered.
“So you can prove you’re a gentleman, Dobe.” Sasuke answered in a groggy tone.
Naruto groaned and wrapped an arm around the tired girl and pulled her close. He nuzzled his head into her shoulder and pulled the blankets up to her neck. Then the two drifted off to sleep.

::: Mmm. That was fun to write. I love cuddle scenes

Marielle - I have bad news, you will have to be 18 to read the next chapter. Grow up fast girl. And if you like a pregnant Sasuke, I suggest you read a story called Self -Reliance, by Imbrium - It is real well written and I would almost say, better than mine. Technically the Ino story is a prequel to this. Freaky like Star Wars too, cause this one came first. But I am weaving them together as well as I am able. We are about to find some more correlations, pay attention.

Vashta - Gaara is good, but as far as him and the Sasu, we'll see. I haven't decided yet about that, Kabuto can do that part of the process if he wants or not. It doesn't mean that he chose the other because he wants to keep the ever so confusing Tsuki.
As for my fruits baskets, I am working on a final chapter to my Hold Me line. It should be done by the weekend. Hope you like.

Green rose - Oooh, a two-fer. You like my little quotes? Good. I pull them directly out of my A--, where I keep all my best Ideas. I learned that trick from Killerrattler. You should hear what she has up there.

BballAnimeLover89 - Calm down, Love. Sasuke is fine, Naruto is right there. Just watch what the Kyuubi holder is able to accomplish.


Next chapter is The Moment of Truth - A decision about their future
