Truth
A/N: I realized I made a typo in the previous author’s note in the prologue. I forgot to put an ‘s’ at the end of ‘chapter’ to make it ‘chapters’ XD Someone wigged out on me on aff.net thinking I was going to do the time skip on the actual chapter 1. No I’m not. So peeps please be calm. Lol. Anyway, in the next chapter or two will be the Chuunin exams. Please read and review. Flamers will be laughed at and will get no cookies. ^_^
Chapter I Truth
Itachi lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Remnants of Orochimaru’s followers attacked the village and Itachi got caught in the crossfire between Kakashi and the leader of the attacking group. The enemy leader through a kunai intended for Kakashi but the jounin dodged. There was a small boy that had been hiding behind a fruit stand and had moved to get away from the fight. Unfortunately when Kakashi had dodged the kunai the boy was in its direct path. Itachi pulled the boy out of the way and the kunai ended up embedding itself right above his stomach. Itachi remembered hearing the small boy screaming and Kakashi calling out his name but that was it. The next thing he knew he woke up in the hospital. It had been two months since Itachi came back and now he was five months pregnant. Two months since he left Akatsuki and Pein. He missed the Rain ninja a lot but Itachi was not going to take his chances. Pein was unpredictable when it came to situations he never handled before. The only thing Itachi prayed for was that their daughter would not be born with the Rinnegan. If that were the case Itachi would have no choice but to tell Pein and that was something he feared greatly.
Itachi smiled a little as he looked out the window. He was going to have a girl. That was going to be interesting. At least he was back in Konoha so he would be having plenty of help when it came to dealing with anything girly. A harsh wind snapped Itachi out of his thoughts and he watched the trees sway violently.
“Where are you?” Itachi sat up. He struggled at bit but he sat up. That voice sounded so familiar. He felt his heart race and his breathing became labored. “Why?”
“Itachi? Itachi? Are you okay? Itachi?” the elder sharingan user looked up to see Tsunade standing next to his bed.
“I’m fine.” Tsunade sighed and shook her head. She leaned over to wipe away the tears that had fallen from Itachi’s eyes.
“From what I see, you are not fine. What happened?”
“Nothing. I just thought that I heard his voice. That’s all.” Tsunade just stared at him for a few moments figuring that Itachi was not going to say anything else she began his check up. She checked to make sure that baby was okay and ended up having the child kick Itachi painfully in the ribs. After a few laughs she continued seeing that the baby was healthy and okay. She then checked on Itachi’s wound and saw that it was nice and healed.
“Well you’re okay now. Don’t so that again please. Anyway, have you reconsidered not telling Pein?” Itachi tensed and looked away out the window again. “Itachi, you don’t know if his reaction is going to be bad. Why not just tell him. Maybe…”
“I made my decision. If he decides to want to know the truth then he can come find me. If he doesn’t then that’s fine too.”
“Itachi what if she is born with the Rinnegan like him? What then? You can’t keep that a secret for long. People will talk and eventually it will make its way to the hidden rain village.” Itachi turned back to Tsunade, his eyes glassy from unshed tears. “You still love him don’t you?”
“Please, just drop it.” Tsunade just nodded her head and walked towards the hospital room door.
“I’m going to the front desk to tell them that you are clear to leave. Sasuke and Naruto are worried about you. Why not just head home and relax, okay?” Itachi nodded his head as Tsunade left. He looked back out the window to see the wind still blowing roughly outside. “Love, where are you? Please, tell me why?” Itachi began to cry as he heard the rain ninja’s voice in his head. He missed Pein so much, he just couldn’t take that chance.
~~~~~~~~~~Akatsuki~~~~~~~~~
Pein sat at his desk with his head in his hands. Two months. Two months and not one Akatsuki member had run into or heard anything about Itachi. For two months Pein thought he had done something to make Itachi leave or had said something wrong. He had read Itachi’s note so many times over the past couple of months. He felt relieved but still scared and worried as to why Itachi left. A sudden knock brought the Akatsuki leader out of his thoughts.
“Come in.” The door opened to reveal Zetsu on the other side. The plant ninja walked in, making sure to close the door behind him. He stood in front of his leaders desk, his face looking grim on both sides but waited to be addressed none the less. “What is it Zetsu?”
“I have found Itachi. But you are not going to like where he is located.” Pein remained sitting but fixed a glare on the man, making him flinched ever so slightly.
“Tell me.”
“Konoha. I infiltrated the village, I was following up on some rumors I heard from small towns and villages in the fire country. I did not see him directly but I did overhear a few jounin talking about it. Saying that Itachi was currently living with Naruto and Sasuke somewhere in the village close to the hokage tower. Once I saw Sasuke for myself and heard him mention Itachi was in the hospital I came right here.” Zetsu stopped himself from saying further what he overheard the younger Uchiha talking about. He did not know what his leader’s reaction would be if he found out Itachi was pregnant.
“You’re leaving something out aren’t you Zetsu?” the missing nin stared at Pein, trying not to portray his surprise. “Tell me or the punishment you will receive for not doing so will be quite painful.” Zetsu swallowed silently and took a deep breath. He hoped he was doing the right thing.
“I also overheard Sasuke saying that Itachi was pregnant.” Zetsu watched as Pein went rigid and inhale air quickly. Zetsu felt his stomach drop and feared he may have done something terribly wrong.
“Please tell me you are lying.” Zetsu took another look at Pein because the rain ninjas voice cracked slightly. From where Zetsu was standing, it looked like Pein was about to cry.
“No, I am not lying.” he saw his leader’s head drop into his hands and his shoulder’s shake. Zetsu did not know what to do. He was never faced with a situation where someone was having an emotional break down. So he did the only thing he knew he could do. He just stood there and awaited for further orders.
“Tell no one of what you see now. And please leave.” Zetsu nodded an understanding. If anyone other than the very few trusted shinobi in the organization heard that their leader was crying, Zetsu did not want to think about the consequences it would bring for Pein and how much the man would have to fight to gain back the respect of said shinobi. But he knew who he could tell without it being spread. So he turned on his heel and made his way down the hall to Kisame’s room as well as Konan’s, Kakuzu, and Sasori’s rooms. They were the only other ones other than himself and Itachi that Pein could trust. They needed to know what mood their leader would be in in the next few days and the reason behind his strange behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~Konoha~~~~~~~~~~~
Itachi moved about the kitchen making dinner. He liked the apartment Naruto and Sasuke lived in. Even though it was close to the hokage tower, it was very quiet which Itachi was not expecting. The residents that lived in the apartment complex and around it were very friendly and nice and stopped by every now and then to check up on Itachi. No wonder Sasuke and Naruto weren’t to concerned about leaving Itachi in the apartment by himself. Everyone around the place would help out looking after him. When everyone found out that he was having a girl, he received quite a few baby clothes for her. He was also given a crib and changing table which was put into a small apartment Itachi was going to live in once the baby was born. He did not want Naruto and Sasuke feeling overcrowded when Itachi was able to leave the hospital with the baby even though they had said it would not be a problem. Sasuke has been feeling sick lately so Itachi decided to make a stew he made years ago the last time Sasuke got sick. It was no where near ramen but Itachi knew Naruto would like it. Instead of putting chicken Itachi began to dice up some ham and beef and place them in the boiling pot of broth and vegetables. Once Itachi placed the lid on the pot someone knocked on the door. He placed the burner on low, took the apron he was wearing off, and went to answer the door. He had been out of the hospital for a few weeks now and during that time Asuma and Kurenei were out on recon missions. Since Kurenei lived in the same building he figured she was stopping by to see how he was and chat for a little bit. When he opened the door, he got a good shock.
~~~~~~~~Akatsuki~~~~~~~~~
Konan walked down the empty hallway to Pein’s office. Zetsu had told her everything and she could not find it in herself to be angry at the man. He did not know it was supposed to be kept secret or that was the reason why Itachi left. But she did tell him everything she knew. If Zetsu could have gone pale, he would have when he realized that when he went to investigate the rumors about Itachi that the leaf nin was five months pregnant. He requested that she go and see Pein to make sure he was alright. So here she was heading to the leader’s office to make sure he didn’t do anything beyond his rational self. Konan reached the door and knocked. No answer. She knocked again and still got no answer.
“Pein its me Konan. Is it okay for me to come in?” She still received no answer. Cautiously opening the door, Konan peered inside to see no one there. No Pein at his desk at all. She entered fully and investigated the room. She glanced over his desk and saw a small piece of paper stuck to the desk by a kunai. She felt her pulse quicken when she looked over the note and turned pale. At that moment Konan thought she was going to be sick. Still pale as a ghost, Konan rushed out of the office and ran into Kisame in the hall.
“What’s up? Is he okay?” Kisame took a better look at Konan’s face and his expression grew serious. “What’s wrong?”
“He headed out for Konoha. When he left I do not know but we have to find him. I just hope he hasn’t made it there yet.” At that moment Sasori entered. His pale face contrasted with his red hair and for the first time he looked genuinely scared. “Sasori?”
“I ran into a leaf ninja on the way here. He said he thought he saw some orange haired man near Konoha.”
“Oh no.” Konan and Kisame spoke simultaneously.
“Konan, I think we can still stop him. Let’s go.” Sasori nodded at Kisame’s suggestion and Konan readily agreed.
“Gather the others. We all meet at the entrance in fifteen minutes.”
~~~~~~~~~~A/N~~~~~~~~~~~~
Obviously you all can figure it out. Anyway. The stew Itachi is making is something my family makes all the time and dang its good. A little weird how they go about it but good. I’m actually liking how this story is coming out. Chapter two will be up soon. Hopefully sometime today but maybe tomorrow. I don’t know. Please review! It makes me a happy chococat (=^_^=)
