Not you, too!

25: How to Bring Forth a Miracle in a House of Love

Tsunade’s office was full and crowded.
Almost all of the original members of rookie nine, now called The Ninja Nine, were there. And with them came the others that had been involved by marriage or permanent involvement.
The only one missing was Choji, and Neji felt it strongly.
Sasuke and Ino both held baby boys and Genma stood near his wife protectively. Tenten and Iwashi stood to one side and anyone who looked could see they were holding hands and that a blush would fill the kunoichi’s face every so often from a comment made in silence. Shino and Hana sat on the long couch a puppy in both of their jackets. Hinata and Kiba sat near them; the former looking flushed the latter looking smug. Lee and Sakura sat in the chairs and kept stealing glances. And behind the desk Tsunade sat with Jiraiya standing behind her. Naruto stood near the door and watched the group from under his tousled hair.
Shikamaru leaned against the Hokage’s desk and addressed the group, with Neji at his side.
“You are all important in our lives and we felt it only fair to share this with you. If not, it would make us less of a family in the end. As you know, Neji and I have been together for over a year. We feel that we are as much of a couple as any other in this room but that as a couple some things have been denied to us.”
“We have never thought any less of you, Shikamaru. You are fully accepted by all of us, right Ino?” Sakura said in defense.
“Yes, we accept your relationship. In fact, I was surprised you waited this long to announce it, we all knew, Silly.”
“It isn’t an announcement of our being together that we called you for. You see we have recently discovered that through a forbidden jutsu, we can be a true family and we have decided to try it.” Shikamaru corrected.
“This jutsu has become fairly popular lately and I have deemed it forbidden, unless circumstances arise that warrant its use. I agreed to this and want all of you to know that I support this couple and am all for their happiness.” Tsunade said, glaring at Naruto when she mentioned the forbidden Jutsu.
“With the use of Naruto’s Orioke No Jutsu, we are going to make a baby. It is a difficult procedure to do without extreme loss of chakra for the ‘mother’ in this case Neji. We have researched it, mostly he has, but found a way to recycle the chakra and therefore keep up the jutsu long enough to bring forth this baby. I don’t think that any of you would be against this, but there are some in the village who will find fault with us, so deception may be necessary.”
“For the next year, I will be masquerading as Meneji, a cousin from the wave country. It will be that Neji is on a long term mission and he will return when she leaves.”
“What will we tell my father, Neji? I don’t think he will agree to this.” Hinata said, blushing brightly.
“Actually, I have already spoken with Hiashi, and he has agreed. He has seen the jutsu and given his approval on the ruse, I think he likes having a few more Hyuuga’s in the village. Plus he knows that this will fuel our rivalry, cousin. I plan to have a more talented child than you will have.” Neji smiled in contrast to his words and Hinata smiled back. It was a joke that they had shared for years.
“I will have a completely perfect child, cousin. We will see who will win this time.” She countered.
“So, you’re going to be a woman, with Naruto’s stupid jutsu. And then you are going to get pregnant and spend a year living as a woman here while you let the baby grow. It seems kinda wrong.” Sakura said.
“But Sakura-chan, it’s the only way that they can do this. I want my team member to have happiness while he is still in the bloom of youth. You wouldn’t hold him back would you?”
“Wait a minute. Meneji from another village? Didn’t I already meet her?” Ino asked, “And she was with some woman who claimed to be Kankurou’s wife.”
“Um, Ino. That was Sasuke and me. It was for a mission we were partaking last year.”
“Oh. Wow, you looked hot as a girl, Neji. And the other was Sasuke? Now that I think of it, she was kinda moody. Whose babies were they?”
“Long story, but one was Choji and the other Naruto.” Neji said.
“Another forbidden jutsu?” Tenten asked.
“Not forbidden, just sort of private.” Tsunade answered.
“I want to see this Meneji. We will need to know who she is before we can accept her anyway.” Kiba said, standing and looking around.
Genma gestured him to sit.
Tsunade looked up at the eldest in the room other than herself and Jiraiya of course.
“You have something to say, Shiranui?” she asked, incredulously.
“We don’t have to see it.” He said. “We will meet her as we come across her. It will be a full year, I am sure there will be opportunities.”
“Yes, in fact I think we should have you over for dinner right after you arrive, Meneji.” Ino added.
“You just want to let her take care of Hayate for you, Ino.” Sasuke added. Ino turned and glared at him.
“No, I want to show that I accept this whole thing.” She said, giving Sakura a look.
“Why a full year, Neji?” was Kiba’s query.
“It may take some time to actually accomplish the conception. I have been working with Tenten, but my knowledge of female anatomy was sadly lacking. I am more proficient but I doubt I will be able to transform into a primed and ready female. As she calls it.”
Tenten spoke up, “I think we need to be patient with that. It isn’t something that most men understand, and until you have been through it, you would be a little off. But, our only concerns are that you never refer to Meneji as anything other than that. Not as him, his or he. It will be a lot easier when you actually see the transformation. Neji is very good at it. Sasuke is also, and I have yet to see Naruto’s form. But, when I saw Neji and Sasuke, I was totally convinced. They are fully female in their other forms. It’s kinda spooky.”
“Now, I have got to see this.” Kiba added. “In time. I can wait, but you are definitely going to make sure that I see it, right Neji?” he corrected when Hinata turned a shocked expression his way.
Sasuke stood and handed his sleeping child to Genma who took it carefully. The hands of the Uchiha were a blur as he went through the moves to accomplish the task.
In a blink of the eye, she stood before them, her hair down and wavy, her dress short but stylish and those tall spiky heals that she knew Naruto loved. She opened her purse and fixed her lipstick as they all looked on, and Kiba swallowed thickly.
“Hey, Dog-boy. Don’t drool over my woman.” Naruto said from his place by the corner.
Kiba blinked and turned to see a very possessive look come over his friend.
Sasuke merely shifted in a very seductive way and smiled at the blond.
“Oh. My. God.” Was all Kiba could think of as she took the baby back from a surprised Genma and sat very sexily down to hold the baby close as the room looked on.
“And that would be Sasuke showing off again. But you get the picture. Oh, and Sasuru over there may show up around town once in a while. I hear her and Meneji like to go shopping occasionally.”
“That’s who you were?” Sakura said. “You were there when we looked at the ring, and you were looking for a baby shop and some women’s accessories. Oh, my god, Sasuke. It was you?”
“I believe we have covered this but I think the initial transformation should be done in my office so that I can examine the mother-to-be before you begin. When this is done I will announce that Neji has left the village and that his cousin is visiting. I don’t think that we need to remind the rest of you that Neji did perform quite a few missions and the slack will need to be covered. I won’t send her on any; so you will all have to do some extra. It will be worth it in the end. The combination of the Nara blood with the Hyuuga should produce and exceptional ninja in the future, I think.” And Tsunade smiled at them all.
“Possible Hokage material, my dear?” Jiraiya asked. He was answered by a shrug.
“You may all go, and remember I will be considering this is a very important mission. The secret of this experiment is entrusted to you all.” And the room slowly emptied.
Naruto waited until most had gone and Sasuke stood at the door waiting for him, her skirt shifted up from sitting.
“Baachan. I may need to ask you to extend that, you know. Someone else may be using that ‘Forbidden Jutsu’ soon.” And he winked at the Hokage as he left.


Winter in the Sand was as different as Night and Day from Konoha, and when spring rolls around, it is a very hard thing to discern. The only difference is that it isn’t as blistering cold at night and that the sun still hasn’t begun to beat heavy upon the body whenever one ventured into it’s domain.
Choji was never warm when he was alone and when Gaara left for the day to see about the duties of the Kazekage, he was often out visiting with Kankurou or Temari to keep himself busy and try to forget the cold.
But, when the redhead returned at the end of his day, Choji’s world heated up considerably. The two young ninja’s had long since become comfortable with each other and had forgotten the reasons that had brought them together in the first place.
Gaara only used the Chuunin’s jutsu on a rare occasion when the demands of his office began to overwhelm him, or when the need for sleep overtook him and he would just like to be able to rest knowing that Shukaku was under control.
The rest of the time they would talk about their various activities and the things that interested both.
There were visits to them by whichever allied ninja happened to be near while on the return from their missions or just out of the town and needing to confirm that the leaf ninja was truly happy in his situation, as if Gaara would allow him anything less.
Then they would venture to explore the other aspects of their relationship, and this was now a very broad subject.
Neither had ever felt so comfortable around another and they had both offered suggestions as to things that no other would believe they had considered.
Very few suggestions were left untried.
Not that they spent their time on only such activities, but they were enough at ease around each other to not allow these items to become a barrier between them.
In short, Choji and Gaara had found true love and total acceptance. The sort of thing one cannot find if one is not willing to look beyond what is skin deep and search into the very soul of their mate.
“Gaar-chan? Do you want some tea? I was thinking about making some, but I wasn’t sure if you wanted black tea or Oolong tonight.” The chuunin asked as he stood in the doorway.
Gaara looked up from the scroll he was perusing and took in the full view of his roommate. The chuunin had maintained a healthy size and was now able to fully perform all of his previous Jutsus and attacks. Gaara smirked as he thought about how he had sequestered extra sweets and high carbohydrate foods into the apartment knowing the other’s penchant for them.
“Make Oolong, and we can have it in the bedroom. Then it won’t keep us awake, but we can enjoy it in comfort. I love the taste of Oolong and Cho-kun.” The sandman said.
Choji found that when Gaara made such suggestions he still felt the rise of blood to his cheeks and liked the feeling more and more.
“Maybe some honey would be good for the tea. I love mine very sweet.” He suggested, and Gaara smiled broadly.
“Mmmm, sex and food make good bed partners, Choji. I think we have a very good combination planned. I have only a small amount of work left, then I will join you.” And he returned to the scroll

Choji set the tray of tea on the bedside table, and pulled down the soft upper blanket. He smoothed the sheets and assured himself that there was no sand in the bed.
Gaara had promised him that the sand would never go where it made Choji uncomfortable and when he questioned, was only told that Shukaku had accepted the union and found Choji to be a valuable asset in the life of his host.
Choji found it very confusing to hear the man talk about the demon this way, but after time discovered that Gaara had begun to affect Shukaku in much the way that Naruto had mellowed the Kyuubi over the years.
Gaara had suggested that the Jutsu seemed to appeal to the demon even more than Gaara himself.
Gaara stood in the door and watched the warm blond hair of his Chuunin fall to his shoulders as he removed his hitae-ite. Choji had taken to wearing a full head-covering version that kept his hair in control and since he had moved to the sand, he had not been to a barber to have it trimmed. Gaara didn’t mind as he enjoyed the feel of it when he had his fingers entwined there.

Gaara rose from the pillow and reached for the now cooling tea. Choji shifted so that his cheek rested against the sandman’s knee as he pulled the covers over his back and splayed his fingers over the redhead’s thigh.
“Would you like some tea, Cho-kun?”
“No, I’m fine.” Choji answered. Gaara sipped at his cup as he watched his lover stare at the spread fingers against his alabaster leg.
“What is it, Choji?” Gaara asked.
“Mmmm, I just love the way your skin looks between them. My hands are so dark compared to you. It’s like white cake, with caramel frosting.”
“I am a dessert, now?” the Kazekage said, chuckling lightly.
“Yes. My favorite. Especially with honey. Sticky honey dribbled all over.”
“I think you have had enough honey, tonight. Aren’t you sleepy, Cho-kun?”
“No. I’m wide awake.”
“Do you want to do something else to help you sleep?”
“What do you have in mind?” Choji asked, rising up on his elbows to look at Gaara’s face. Gaara leaned down and aimed his lips at the Chuunin’s ear where he breathed the words.
“Perhaps if we burned off some more energy and tension.”
“But, I’m not tense. Are you tense, Gaar-chan?” Choji whispered back, as Gaara placed his cup back on the tray.
“Yes, Choji. I am becoming very tense,” he said as he led the others hand up his thigh and to the only tense muscle in his body.
Choji wrapped his fingers firmly as he climbed to his knees and allowed the blanket to fall away.
Gaara watched the tan skin as it was exposed by the loss of the cloth.
“Ahhh, Cho-kun,” he said smoothing the soft skin on Choji’s arm and shoulder.
Choji crawled up and slid his lips over the rounded tip of the organ in his hand and Gaara cried out.
The Chuunin bobbed his head as he took his lover into his mouth and sucked greedily, before pulling back allowing his teeth to gently graze the soft flesh as he released it.
Gaara’s hands made their way into the warm golden hair and he fought the urge to thrust into the Chuunin’s throat.
“Cho-kun, wait. I want . . . . I want to do this, that way again.” He said through gritted teeth as he pulled the blond away.
“Mmm, Gaara. Yes, I like that way.” And Choji climbed up to his knees and waited. Gaara released his hair and pushed the blankets away.
Choji watched as Gaara lifted a small jar from the table that looked like a tiny replica of his gourd and screwed the cap off. He smiled at the chubby ninja as he poured the substance on his fingers and rubbed it with this thumb.
Choji bit his lower lip as he watched the movements of the pale fingers, anticipating their ability to work loose tight muscles and quickly make that body ready for what was to come.
Gaara moved his knees forward into a better position with Choji’s as he reached his fingers toward their goal.
The Kazekage’s eyes rolled closed as his fingers touched the muscles and gently rubbed the oils in.
Choji’s breath sped up as Gaara pushed his fingers in and moved them to begin to stretch those muscles in preparation.
“Oh, Gaar-chan. That I still the most erotic thing I have ever seen.” Choji said as he watched the redhead press a third finger in and the Kazekage’s mouth fell open for his gasped breaths.
Choji leaned in and pressed his lips to the soft pale mouth that seemed to call to him.
Gaara held Choji’s neck with the unused hand and thrust his tongue in a rhythm that matched the fingers he held within his own body.
The Akimichi pulled away and reached around Gaara’s waist, “Now, Gaara. I want to do that, now.” He said, which brought a hazy smile to the sandman’s face.
Gaara pulled his fingers free and climbed up to straddle the Chuunin’s thighs and held tight to Choji’s shoulders.
Choji lifted the sandman’s hips as he pulled him over his straining erection and angled them together.
Gaara’s smile widened as he pressed himself onto the engorged organ and dropped down sharply, causing the other to gasp as the tight sheath of the Kazekage’s body engulfed him.
Gaara’s fingers gripped tightly into the well-padded shoulders, leaving white marks behind as he shifted his hold and moved with the other. He threw his head back as his body reacted to the intrusion and he felt the firm thrust that came in contact with his innermost pleasure point.
It was another way of sharing that had become an obsession for them, and as they moved together their bodies became so in sync that they could sense each other’s pending climax and match it.
Crying out together they shuddered and spasmed and when they were both spent, they fell to the bed and simply held onto each other for most of the night.
Gaara held his lover close as he watched him sleep, and Shukaku nearly purred in the redhead’s mind.
‘It’s good that you kept this one. I might just stay appeased so long as the round one is our mate. When do we proceed? I am not a patient guest like that foolish nine tails.’
“I will talk to him in the morning. I think we need to begin as soon as possible. Are you sure we can do this?”
‘If that weakling of a leaf ninja can do it, you surely can.’
“You are underestimating, again. I think perhaps I should punish you. I can do it now, you have given me the power yourself.”
‘Self important brat.’ But after saying this, the demon was silent.

Neji concentrated on his chakra as he performed the Jutsu. He was only a lot nervous.
Shikamaru stood to the side, leaning against one of the walls as Tsunade stood at her desk and waited.
They had agreed that once the transformation was complete the Hokage would make sure that everything was in order and usable. Shikamaru thought it all sounded very clinical and methodic. He hated to think of childbearing that way and was trying to keep a distance from the whole thing. He fingered the dress he held and waited as the usual pre-jutsu jitters worked through his stomach.
Shikamaru was a full out homosexual. He had not been interested in women since before he’d been teamed up with one of the most appealing in the village. He found them bothersome and he didn’t care who heard him say the word. He had never experienced a reaction when accidentally being exposed to the female form at a hot springs or public bathing facility, which his father had managed to have happen on numerous occasions. And he doubted he could pull off a mission that required him to play the part if his life depended on it.
But Shikamaru found the transformed body of Neji to be the most overwhelming thing he had ever seen. It never failed to elicit a burning in his lower belly and at least a half hard-on that sometimes went to the worst extreme and left him barely able to walk. It was a little embarrassing and he was doing his best to keep his various parts under control right now.
Neji had transformed, and sat naked on the long couch, while the woman held out her hands over his belly and lower parts that . . . em okay, were making Shika’s a little tight right now. The woman’s fingers glowed a light blue and she had a fierce look on her face.
Neji was waiting patiently, a self-assured look on her face and her fingers tapping on the fabric of the couch.
Tsunade stood and nodded once. “Yes, very well done. You are not only perfectly formed I believe you are about to ovulate. I would suggest,” she said, smiling wickedly. “That you proceed swiftly with your mission. Go you two, go make beautiful babies.” And she waved them away as she returned to her desk. Neji stood and took the dress from the shadow ninja as she turned to the Hokage and asked one last question. Shika felt his groin tighten as he heard the soft voice that seemed to accompany the transformation.
“How soon till we know for certain?”
“Come back in two weeks. I suggest that overdoing it is a good plan, and hope you are both up to it. Now, scoot before I get a bloody nose from this conversation.” And she smiled in a friendly way as she added. “Good luck.”
By the time they had reached their apartment, Shikamaru was not sure he was going to make it to the bedroom and he wanted this to be a memorable event. He clenched his teeth as they closed the door and he grabbed Neji by the hand and nearly dragged her down the hall.
It was a long day that continued well into the evening.

Koibito started sleeping through the night when he was four months old.
Naruto was curled around his lover when he felt a stirring sensation.
He rose carefully trying not to wake Sasuke and made his way to the nursery.
The room was silent and Koibito was sleeping soundly, his thumb hanging from his lax lips. But, the feeling was still there. The blond moved down the stairs and out of the door without making a sound.
Outside he felt the strangeness even more, and it seemed to come from the small section of woods near their house.

Sasuke felt a cool breeze waft over his exposed back and opened his eyes. He sat up and looked around the room.
Naruto was gone and he realized that he couldn’t feel the unique chakra signature of his roommate inside of the house.
“Stupid, Dobe. Where have you wandered off to now?” he said as he rose and pulled on a pair of jeans. They were too short and he cursed as he realized they were Naruto’s and that meant the fool had gone out in his boxers. Tossing the others on the bed he pulled on his own, then grabbed two shirts and the jeans as he headed out the door.
He paused at Koibito’s door and made sure that the baby was sound asleep.
As he stepped out of the house his Sharingan flared to life ad he caught a distant sensation.
“Oh, My God. NO!” he said running down the path in the direction of the feeling and activating his Seidan sight as he went.

The end.

NOT REALLY, I still have quite a few things to add. But this was one very long chapter, huh?

Marielle – Yes, there it is. Hope it meets your criteria. I’m keeping the pace with you, eh???

Vashta – Thought you might find this even better than the last chap. Was I right? I read once that ‘no one wants to sleep with Choji cause no one likes potato chip crumbs in bed...its a fact what can I say’ and I disagree. I think that the boy would be just as exciting and a whole lot softer. The person who wrote that hasn’t reviewed on this fic, although she has on another of mine. I don’t mean to single anyone out, so I hope she doesn’t take offense but I have some funny ideas about what can be considered sexy, you know? And I think Choji is a hunk, a big, round and puffy hunk.
I am trying to keep Sasuke as much in character as a little maturity will allow, but if you give someone a tiny person to care for, unless he is a cold-hearted bastard, they tend to do some pretty cute things. You should try it and see.

Next chapter The Uchiha conflict – Hime to the rescue
