Best Served Cold

I had such fun writing this chapter! I'm glad someone noticed how much thought I put into naming you character, none of them are random. As many of you know Ryuu is dragon, Okibi is blazing fire. I thought they were good names for the boys. ;P


___________________________
Okibi looked worriedly up at Sasuke, who was still looking in the direction the Uzumaki kid had ran off to. “Father?” he called pulling on the dark sleeve which held the Konoha Military Police Corps emblem. Sasuke looked down into his questioning eyes. “Father, that’s the Hokage’s son, why does he look like me?”

“It’s just a coincidence,” he replied, straightening his back and popping his neck. “Go tell your mother about your first day, I have business to attend.” He patted the child’s head and walked off without another word.

What the hell was going on, thought Sasuke as he walked toward the back of the village. That kid said it wasn’t a henge, but why did he have his face, he knew his own face. Naruto had been married to that dark haired civilian and she did have a certain likeness to him, but it hadn’t been that close. It didn’t make sense, he had seen her pregnant. He had personally witnessed her waddling into stores or away from the hospital, the times he had accompanied Ino to her appointments. But the resemblance was just to close to be a coincidence. The possibilities ran back and forth in his mind. He had never slept with the woman, the only people he had ever slept with had been Ino and Naruto. Even so, he couldn’t get rid of the nagging feeling that that kid was his own son, but how was that possible?

Sasuke stomped closer and closer to the Hokage’s mansion, becoming more livid by the step. Did Naruto put his son up to henge into a likeness of him? Was it all a stupid joke? Did he steal his sperm from somewhere and implant it into some strange woman?! Did Naruto actually...

Before he realized it, Sasuke found himself standing in front of the Hokage’s office door. When had he even entered the building? The ANBU guarding the door looked him over and spoke. “Hokage-sama has been expecting you Uchiha-san,” he said, as he stepped out of the way and proceeded down the hall.

Sasuke stared after the retreating ANBU and back to the closed door. How did someone expect your visit when you hadn’t seen them in over eight year? Naruto planned for him to see the boy and rush over! Sasuke steamed as he placed his hand on the door and forcible pushed it inward.

--------

The door hit he wall with a deafening crack as the livid brunette stepped into the room. The man behind the desk sat up from his paperwork in shock. A shiver of dread ran down his spine and his had to remind himself that he’s the boss to stop himself from cringing in fear.

“What were you thinking?” Yasu yelled, as she stomped up to the head master’s desk. “Are you crazy to assign both those boys to me? You could have warned me they wouldn’t get along. You could have warned me they were so strong. You could have warned me they were going to try to KILL each other!”

Iruka looked over the red-faced girl, and for the first time noticed her uniform was fifthly. Her face was smudged with dirt. She had little sticks protruding from her hair and... Was her hair singed?

“I had to use a medic on the first day! A medic!!! What would the parents think if they children came home injured from the first day!”

Iruka chuckled to himself as he straightened the papers on his desk, “I’m sure ‘those’ parents would take it as a complement.” His chuckling stopped when the kunoichi shoved her flush face inches from his own.

“I’m not taking about ‘those’ parents! I’m talking about all the other ‘sane’ parents we have in this school! I know you favor...”

“Yasu, calm yourself! And do not question the sanity of your Hokage,” Iruka said, abruptly rising from his chair and causing Yasu to step back from the desk. He rubbed a hand across his forehead and mentally counted to ten. “You were chosen for this assignment for a reason. Presently, this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone get such a rise out of you. But the reason you were chosen was that even after you passed your Jounin exam, you came back to work for the academy. I had a feeling these boys were going to be above a beginner level, being enrolled so late, and I observed while you were testing them. They do not even fit with our advanced classes...

“No shit! They were pulling moves off on each other that some Chuunin haven’t even mastered! I told them a light spar, but you would think they were mortal enemies! They were moving so fast that I could barley keep up, who have these boys been training with?! I don’t know what would have happen if that ANBU with the shadow jutsu hadn’t come along? He pulled them apart while they were in mid air and he’s the one that had the medic with him!” Yasu’s rant was silenced by a hand from Iruka.

“As there are no exit exams until mid year, and they cannot be instructed with the normal students, you will be their private instructor. It will be your job to get them to work as a team.”

“But...” Yasu sputtered at the possibility of those two getting along.

“If anyone can do it, I know it’s you Yasu. And when we get toward the middle of the year, we can find a kunoichi that they can test out with,” Iruka smiled at his own plan and sat down confidently into his chair.

Yasu’s shoulders sagged in reassignment, maybe she should have taken on a team or tested for ANBU after she had been promoted. Right now it was looking a lot less dangerous or trying.

------------------

Naruto smiled from his seat at the glowering Uchiha. He had waited years for this, and now here he was fitting so well into the palm of his hand. He had already see Ryuu since his return from school and heard all the excited boy’s tale, from the gaping of the young Uchiha, the display of his own skills and the stumbling of the elder Uchiha. Everything had gone as planned, and why not? It had been a plane almost nine years in the making. He had told Sasuke he would be sorry, and he was finally going to make good on his promise. He always kept his promises.

Sasuke took one look at Naruto’s smiling face and felt his breath catch in his throat, had it really been eight years since he’d looked upon that face? Closer inspection of the blonde reveled that it was not the friendly smile he had once received on a regular basis, but a condescending, I’ve got you, grin. Sasuke’s anger returned full force when he remembered why he had come the Hokage’s tower.

“Uzumaki,” he bit out tersely.

“Uchiha,” the blonde smiled.

“I met a boy today and I was informed that he was your son,” Sasuke tried in a semi calm manner.

“Yes, it was Ryuu’s first day at the academy today, isn’t that great? He mentioned meeting your son as well,” he continued ignoring the Uchiha’s tense stance.

“He... He doesn’t look a thing like you,” he tried to edge again.

Naruto’s smile grew more wide and his eyes twinkled with something Sasuke could not name. “You met my wife, did you not Uchiha-san. She was a lovely woman, beautiful black hair. I’m afraid the only thing he inherited from me were his eyes.”

“Cut the SHIT,” Sasuke suddenly yelled and slammed his hands down on the desk. “Do you think I don’t my own face! Did you not think that I or anyone else would notice?”

The blonde calmly crossed his arms over his chest and leaned further back into his chair. “Oh I knew you would recognize that face in an instant, you conceited bastard. But as for anyone one else, no. He looks enough like my poor departed wife for anyone to question that fact. At least that was until Ryuu told me that other boy looks like his twin. You just had to have such strong physical genes, didn’t you?”

The raven leaned further on the desk, his face a red mask of fury. “What did you do, Naruto?” he bit out through clenched teeth.

“What did I do?” Naruto growled as he stood up. His anger was almost visible as it rolled from his body. His eyes tinged red and he leaned closer to the Uchiha. “I didn’t do anything except deal with the problem you left me with!”

Naruto anger did little but fuel Sasuke’s own and he leaned further toward the furious man as he yelled, “How did you get my sperm! How could you impregnate your own wife with someone else baby!”

Blue eyes blinked repeatedly before the blonde threw back his head in cruel laughter. “Is that what you think happened? That boy is mine!” It was the raven’s turn to blink in confusion. Naruto continued before he could voice a question. “You gave me that sperm,” Naruto scoffed while patting his midsection. “You knew what we were trying to do and still, you left.”

Sasuke paled as the implications began to deposit upon his brain. “But... But, your wife...”

“My wife gave birth to Ryuu,” he said, as he moved from behind his desk and toward the side of the room. “We certainly couldn’t have a pregnant Hokage, and not a pregnant alone Hokage. I found a bride who knew exactly what she was getting herself into. After the wedding Tsunade extracted the fetus, much like one would do a poison,” the blonde sneered, “and implanted it into my wife.” Naruto frown a bit as he came to pause before a door. “Sad to say, she didn’t survive the birth. Too much chakra in the small baby for a mere non-shinobi mother to handle. She was a lovely woman.”

Something twinged in Sasuke to hear Naruto speak of the woman so fondly. He fought it back and tried to force his anger to overpower his shock. “Why... Why didn’t you tell me? If you were going to have my child, why didn’t you tell me!”

Naruto scoffed and placed his hand upon the door. “I tried to tell you, remember? I wasn’t enough for you.” He pulled open the door to reveal Ryuu standing on the other side. “Are we enough now?” he questioned darkly.

Sasuke stopped breathing as he looked the eyes of the two before him. One red and slitted, one red with... Sharingan?

The young boy smiled cruelly. “Father,” he greeted coldly. “Does your other son have these?” he gestured toward his face. “Will he ever?”

Sasuke’s wide eyes flew toward the blonde but his tongue felt fat in his mouth. Naruto smirked, “I think we fit the bill now, don’t we Uchiha-san. Too bad we no longer want the position.” Naruto motioned for his son to go back the way he came as he turned to follow. Pausing before closing the door he looked back up at the dumbstruck raven. “You know Ryuu is your eldest son. I have your true heir and you will never have him,” Naruto smiled sadistically as he eased the door closed.

The click of the door snapped Sasuke out of his daze and he moved to bolt for the door. He was going to kill him! His mind reeling, he finally realized he was not moving any closer to the door. He looked down at his feet and stared at the dark hands grasping his ankles. He turned his head to follow the long dark shadows to the ANBU at the exit.

“I think it’s best if you leave, Uchiha-san,” drawled the lazy voice of the ANBU. “You are the head of the Military Police Corps. You wouldn’t want to do anything stupid to jeopardize your position, like threatening the Hokage.”

Sasuke’s only response was to look down and shake. The ANBU sighed and walked the man toward him with his shadow. “Troublesome,” he muttered, as he discreetly walked the Uchiha out of the building. “Go home and calm down.” He patted the man’s shoulder as he released the jutsu. “But remember, this mess is of your own make,” he advised before disappearing.
