The Return

Disclaimer: I don’t own the characters.

A/N: I almost abandoned this fic, because I received a review telling me it was dark and depressing and it was not supposed to be like that. So I re-read it and I couldn’t see the depressing thing in it so….I don’t know. What to do with this? Sure it’s not the happy fic but it’s not depressing right?

Anyway, thanks to all the reviewers.

And Special thanks to my beta mrk33

Enjoy…

goes brooding in a dark corner

--

Tsunade was sitting in her new cell. Sure, someone else would have felt prideful, to be able to reside in the Hokage tower. But, to her this nicely furnished room was as desolate, and dirty as her old clammy cell.

She was still trying to find a way out of this situation, even as her brain told her there was no other alternative. The Akatsuki had taken control, and when she saw how well everything was working out in Konoha as well as in the other villages, she was starting to think that they would surely do a better job than the previous Kages.

Sure, the villagers were scared at first, but it seemed that the growth in economy that came with being allied with every hidden village was good enough for them. Well, they might be a tiny bit scared too but…apparently, that kept them in line.

Tsunade snorted softly 'Of course, they don’t want to face Itachi, or any of these Missing Nin.'

She thought of Naruto. She had decided to perform the Jutsu on him, not only because The Brothers had asked her to, but also because she knew that if asked, Naruto would have said yes. Well at least if Sasuke asked, Itachi was another matter for now. He would have bitched, yelling that he was no woman, but she was sure that he would have done it, eventually.

That’s why she decided to give him a choice. She was going to perform the jutsu, but was going to give him something he was going to take until he would decide himself when it was time.

After all, she wanted him alive, but she was not selfish enough to condemn him to a miserable life.

Sakura was sitting in Naruto’s room, waiting for him to come back from wherever he was.

'Probably at Ichiraku,' she thought.

She had come because she supposed his head was full of questions that nobody in the village would answer, considering his past with Kyuubi.

Some of them blamed still him. As if he, willingly went to the Akatsuki, and gave them his demon. Those ignorants didn’t know that he should, by all rights be dead, and not unknowingly waiting to be physically used in order to fulfill a family craving the Uchiha Brothers had.

She thought it was really ironic, she thought that out of the two people who wanted a family that much, one had killed his when he was thirteen, and the other had decided not to avenge his, and take power instead.

'Surely, they didn’t know that not just anyone could bear a Jinchuriki’s child.'

The dead women left in their wake were proof enough of their ignorance.

Tests, they had said. They had wanted Naruto from the start, but thought there would be more children if they had more than one mother.

Imagine their surprise when they realized why the women, and children wouldn’t survive. They were the strongest, simply because the Uchiha's wouldn’t have any less, and yet their Chakra was too much for them.

She was angered at first, that Sasuke hadn’t chosen her (she didn’t think of Itachi at all, he was too scary for her). She was Tsunade’s apprentice, by all means she was the strongest Kunoichi around, but still, Sasuke wouldn’t even look at her. But, now that she knew she couldn’t help, but be relieved

She had hoped Naruto wouldn’t come back. But, even she knew it was foolish. Where would he go?

She hoped everything would go well for him. It was the only thing she could do.

Itachi was not a very suspicious man.

He liked to use his head, analyse facts, and then take actions. Of course, for someone like him, it just took a few seconds to do, and once he did his job, he didn’t think of it anymore.

So, why was he still thinking of his conversation with the blonde Hokage?

He had a hunch that wouldn’t leave him, even if the facts were clear. She had accepted. She was going to perform the Jutsu on his blond, and he would have everything he had secretly, and not so secretly desired.

Power, and a new family, one that wouldn’t be as corrupt as the first was.

This one would be like them. Him and Sasuke. Full of power, and willing to go to hell itself if it meant obtaining what they wanted.

He had miscalculated when he had gathered information concerning Jinchurikins. He had never thought that it would take one to impregnate one.

They were lucky that Kyuubi was fond of the blond. It wouldn’t do for him to die now. They had waited for him long enough. But, everything would work out, since Kyuubi’s remaining Chakra, the tiny bit he had left in Naruto to save him would do the trick.

They would have their blond, their family, their power it would be perfect.

So why did he feel as if he were missing something.

--

Sasuke was pissed.

He had let the blond lead him to Ichiraku, and then decided to answer his questions concerning his new role as his, and Itachis' cocubine.

And after two hours of arguing (as if he had a choice) now the blond was not talking to him, and had left him to see one of his old friends.

He was impatient, he couldn’t wait to finally have the second part of his ambition. He may have decided not to avenge his family, but he couldn’t let the second one go too. And if Naruto was the other parent, it was even better.

But, he couldn’t help, but feel stressed. The Jutsu had a high mortality rate, and Naruto didn’t have Kyuubi now…so would he die too? He really hoped not. He may have rejected the brotherly bond he had with Naruto, but that was because he had something else in mind.

He sighed and decided to go see Itachi.

He needed to talk to him about that one month of no sex….
