Secret Love

Naruto looked at himself in the mirror. It was still early, he had a few hours before the hearing with the council, but he was too nervous to sleep. He had intended on getting up and cooking breakfast, but as he walked past the bathroom he caught he reflection in the mirror.

 

He couldn’t wear his old clothes anymore because his stomach had gotten too big. Currently he was wearing an over sized t-shirt and a pair of sweat pants. He still couldn’t see what Sasuke saw in him. In his own mind he had never really been the good looking, and now with his big belly he thought himself downright ugly.

 

With a soft sigh, he finished his trek to the kitchen to cook breakfast like he had planed. Sasuke was coming over to walk to the hearing with him and Sai and he thought it would be nice for the three of them to eat breakfast together.

 

********************

 

Naruto had finished making breakfast just as Sai walked into the kitchen, shortly after that Sasuke walked into the small apartment.

 

So here they were, the three of them, silently eating, together. Naruto couldn’t understand the two of them. Neither ever really talked, even more so when they were around each other.

 

“So, how are Tsunami, Inari, and Shin doing?” The blonde looked at Sasuke.

 

The dark-haired boy looked up at his lover. “Uh, they are fine, I guess. ”

 

Naruto’s eyebrow twitched. “What the hell kind of answer is that?”

 

Sai looked up from his food. This wasn’t good. An angry pregnant Naruto meant it was time to duck out. He wasn’t scared or anything, but he had learned when Naruto get angry lately he could get louder then normal. To save he ears from pain, he decided to get ready for the day.

 

Back in the kitchen Naruto and Sasuke stared after Sai. “What do you think that was about?”

 

Naruto shrugged. “I don’t know. He’s strange. Are you ready to go?”

 

The Uchiha looked at the blonde. “Yes, I am ready. The others are going to meet us there. Don’t worry so much Naruto. Everything will be fine. ”

 

He bit his lip slightly. “I’m just hoping this will get Sakura to back off. She’s really starting to get ballsy with her affection towards you, Sasuke. I don’t like it. She seems to be loosing her mind. And who ever is the real father of her baby needs to know.”

 

Sasuke sighed. “I know, trust me, I know.” He stood up and cleared the table for Naruto. “Let’s just head out, it’s going to be a long day and we don’t have time to sit around doing nothing.”

 

**********************

 

The court room was once again packed with what seemed to be the whole village. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sai made their way over to where their friends were waiting. Ino stood up as the boys walked up. She hugged Naruto tightly. “Oh you’re getting bigger! You must be close to popping by now! I’m so excited!”

 

Naruto laughed. “Only a few more weeks and this baby will be ready to see the world. I’m excited, too. I’m ready to get my old body back!”

 

Ino opened her mouth but shut it quickly when she saw her old friend walk up. “What do you want Sakura?”

 

Everyone turned to see the pink-haired woman standing there. Sakura’s eyes scanned the group before her. Everyone seemed to have sided with Naruto. How could the Rookie Nine not see what he really was? The only thing she could think of is that Naruto used the same jutsu on them as he did on Sasuke. “Sasuke, did you get the ultrasound photo I gave you?”

 

The man in question shutter slightly. No one but Naruto noticed it, though. “Yes, I did. But don’t you think you should give it to the real father, not me?”

 

Sakura dared to take a stepped closer to the dark-haired man only to be stopped by Ino stepping between them. “You don’t need to be that close to him to talk, stay where you are and say what you have to, then leave.”

 

Sakura only smiled and walked away. She looked over her shoulder. “We can talk privately once that thing is back in a cell for what he did to you. Don’t worry, Sasuke, for once I’ll save you.” She then continued her walk over to where her family was sitting.

 

Ino sighed. “That girl is loosing it. Oh well. Naruto!” The blonde jumped at his name being shouted. “I was wondering if you would mind us throwing you a little baby shower. Please?”

 

Naruto blinked. “Uh, I guess not. Is that ok with you Sasuke?”

 

Sasuke shrugged slightly. “Whatever.” The girls erupted into fits of giggles and excitement; making Sasuke wonder what they just got themselves into.

 

Just then a door to the left opened and in walked the council. Everyone quieted and took their seats. The council looked over the room full of people, no doubt calculating how bad of an uproar it will turn into no matter which way this goes.

“Uzumaki, Naruto, please step forward.” Naruto walked up to the front of the court room where the council sat at a judge’s bench. “Do you know why you are here today?”

 

The blonde sighed softly. “In all honesty, I’m here because none of you believe that this child is mine and Sasuke’s. You choose to believe the crazy ramblings of some nutcase who needs to be locked away.”

 

The councilman who spoke turned blood red with anger. “You are here because of your crimes against Uchiha, Sasuke and Haruno, Sakura!”

 

Naruto’s hands clinched into tight fists at his side. “I honestly don’t know what you think I’ve done to Sakura, but I would NEVER hurt Sasuke. All of you are crazy for believing her.”

 

“That’s enough!” Tsuande stood before the council. “We are here for a reason so get on with it!”  She then sat back down near her ‘guests of honor’. Though it was customary for the two of them to be at council meetings and such, no one really knew why they were there. Since they had stepped down from the council themselves, they usually stayed to the back of the room and were only there to see what was happening. Today, though, it seemed they had a purpose for being there.

 

Naruto turned back to the council whom stared at him with murder in their eyes.

 

The Head Council Man stood with a large envelope in his hands. “As is customary, no one has seen these results but the lab techs that ran the test. To be far, one lab tech was chosen by the council and the other was chosen by The Hokage. Now, No matter what the results, I want order to stay intact. That means you Demon Child. Do not cause a scene.”

 

Naruto glared at the man. “I won’t make a scene. No matter what, I know the truth and so does Sasuke.”

 

The man smirked. “We shall see about that.” He picked up the envelope and opened it. He stared straight at Naruto as he pulled the papers out, a lop-sided grin never leaving his face. He glanced down at the papers in his hands. In a heartbeat, his eyes went wide and the grin fell from his face. He looked up into Naruto’s blue eyes. “This can’t be true!!! What did you do?!”

 

Koharu Utatane stood from her seat next to the Hokage. “Why don’t you read the results and stop screaming, please.”

 

One glare from the old lady and the councilman did as he was told. With the frown on his face he read from the paper. “In the case of the unborn child, it appears Uchiha, Sasuke is the father.”

 

Sakura’s face was one of pure hatred. “But surely Naruto isn’t the mother, right! It has to be the Demon! She* did this! It’s her child too! We need to kill it before she gets out!”

 

Koharu glared at the pinked haired girl. “Will you stop that blubbering? Let the man talk.” She turned back to the man behind the desk. “Please read who the mother is.”

 

His face turned blood red. “It appears Uzumaki, Naruto is the mother.”

 

Homura Mitokado stood next to his long time friend and partner. “There you have it, now everyone can leave the two boys alone in peace. I believe we are done here.”

 

The council member stood. “You no longer have the authority to decide when MY court room is adjourned! We are done when I say so! Guards! Arrest Uzumaki, Naruto and put him in a holding cell!”

 

Homura held his hands up. “That will not be necessary. You have no grounds to prove he did anything wrong. We are thru here.”

 

“NEVER! There is still the case Sakura has against him! ARREST HIM!!!”

 

Koharu and Sasuke made their ways to the Blonde. Koharu glared up at the pompous man. “Just because she says he wronged her does not mean it is a court matter.  And from what I can see, Sasuke has made his choice to be with Naruto and not her. It is her own fault she is with child by a man who clearly will never love her. This case you speak of is unjust. And for the record, we will always have more authority then you. We are the Village Elders and there for far out rank you. Never pull that card again.”

 

Neji stepped forward. “I have a confession to make.”

 

Sakura ran to his side. “Don’t you utter a fucking word, you coward!” She hissed thru clinched teeth.

 

He glared daggers at the bitch. “I will say what I want. You cannot hold anything over my head if I admit to it.” He turned to the court room. “I want to confess to the rape of one Uzumaki, Naruto and aiding Sakura in her farce.” He pulled at kunai from his pouch and with lightening speed jabbed it into Sakura overgrown stomach.

 

The court room gasped in shock.
