Note from Author: Thank You for reading and supporting fan fiction! Enjoy and please review!

The chapter titles are lyrics from the song "Breaking the Habit" by Linkin Park.

I have been thinking of writing a corresponding fic to go along with this one that will most likely explain a lot of questions a few/most of you have. It will basically be this fic but from Sasuke's P.O.V.I usually write from Naruto's P.O.V because I feel it'seasier for ME to relate to him than to other characters. Sasuke's not much harder to write than Naru-chan, he seems a tad bit more single minded than our dear Naru-chan which makes him a challenge for me because as you can all probably tell I'm a bit scatterbrained and seem to skip easily from one thing to another in both my speech, thoughts and writing. I will give it my best so please be patient with any OOC-ness that I put our dear Sasuke-kun through.

The new fic will be called “All These Things That I've done” which is of course another song by one of my favorite groups, The Killers. Look for it in the next month or so. I should be done chapter One soon~!

Breaking the Habit

Chapter 8: The battles always choose

Three days! Three freakin' days since that amazing kiss in the hospital and I haven't seen that rooster haired jerk since! If I see him…if he doesn't come and say…where is that duck butt head!?

I sighed and shifted on the grass for the third time in less than an hour. It was boredom and a need for fresh air that brought me out onto the training field, the very same place I had trained with duck butt head and Sakura, man have things changed.

Now that I think about it things have changed and by changed I mean they have turned out completely opposite from what I thought would happen in the future.

Cold hearted and lonely Sasuke had made friends, Snobby and know it all Sakura was now friendly and well not as snobby, and goofy outgoing hokage wannabe me is now…okay I suppose not everything's different.

Okay, it's not that black and white.

All of us have become stronger. Sasuke with his Sharingan and new skills and abilities thanks to Orochimaru who was killed when he attempted to harness the powerful monster he had made. He should've known better than to pick such a dangerous vessel.

He had known Itachi since they were both in the same evil organization therefore he should have known that all Uchiha's have the same stubborn willful streak and work only towards their own goals unlike other mindless beings that Orochimaru may have known and used.

I guess some feel like they have to walk among the flames and those people are usually surprised when they get burned by the flames. Sasuke had said as much about Orochimaru.

Sakura trained with Tsunade-bachan and just by hearing stories from Sakura and others it was quite the ordeal. She came out stronger and according to Perverted Hermit she's scarier than Tsunade - bachan when she's mad. I believe it, Sakura has always had a short temper add that with supernatural strength and you've got superman on crack.

Me on the other hand…I've managed to get better at jutsu's and such and I've even managed to learn how to control the Kyuubi somewhat. And just when I thought I was strong enough to leave behind my feelings for Sasuke everything with Itachi happened and with carrying the little one I can't do anything to see if what I'm assuming is true I'm pretty sure I've gained a massive amount chakra and abilities with the merge. After the little ones born I plan on pushing myself to my fullest to see just what I'm capable of.

“Yo, dobe, how long have you been sitting out here?”

I startled at the sound of that baritone voice behind me causing me to jump and turn around as much as my extra large frame would allow me.

“Sasuke!? Where have you been?”

“I've been settling some old Uchiha accounts. Tsunade-sama brought some things to my attention and I decided now was better than later to take care of them.”

“What sorta things?”

“She asked me what I had planned for the Uchiha properties that have sat all these years abandoned and desolate. So I told her that the houses were pretty much firewood anyway so she might as just have them demolished.”

The look on my face had to have been shock because he stopped and gave me a smile.

“Don't look so shocked. The place has many ghosts and even if it's not actually `haunted' what happened there still stains it. It's time to give the place a fresh start.”

Shock was a word that couldn't even begin to express what I was feeling, “But Sasuke, what about the history and meaning behind those houses, what about your family home and the good memories?”

He smiled and knelt down so that he was almost facing me and yet partly facing the scenery I had been staring at so intently.

“I'll have those memories Naruto, besides…blood stained floor boards are memories I don't need to keep. I've discussed things with Tsunade - sama and together we've decided to keep parts of the houses we tear down to use when we rebuild the new houses and shops. There are a few homes we plan to use for refugees from the various villages that have either been attacked, abandoned due to war or lack of resources and those orphans that war has left behind.”

I couldn't help but smile at him. My smile must have been wide because I could actually feel the sides of my mouth pull.

“It always amazes me when you do that,” he said giving me a small smile.

“Do what,” I asked still smiling.

“Smile a smile that big and bright. You know, you kind of remind me of a fox when you smile like that,” he said chuckling.

I felt my cheeks heat and I decided that the grass between my fingers was suddenly very interesting.

I heard him make an amused snort and then take a deep breath and let it out. He seemed to hesitate. And as the seconds ticked by I wondered what would cause him to hesitate.

“I've decided to rebuild the main house where I grew up. It'll be close to the town but also a bit closer to the main road and woods. I know you've just recently found a nice place, Kakashi-Sensei was telling me about it…but I was thinking…you know, you being a single parent soon and all and possibly a guard and babysitter and it'll be very roomy. It'll still have a large backyard and porch and it over looks a large koi pond.”

“Sasuke…are you asking what I think you're asking.”

“Look Naruto…I would feel weird being there by myself and I know we've just gotten past that first step but…the offer is there. Construction is starting next week. You'll have plenty of time to think it over. It'll take at least a month for everything to be demolished, taken apart and at least another month or more for mine and the others to be rebuilt.”

I blushed and leaned forward so that my head was lying against his shoulder, “Thank you Sasuke.”

His arms wrapped around me pulling me closer, “Doitashimashite, Dobe koi.”

I felt his hands cup my cheeks, pulling my face up and closer to his until our lips touched and then locked.

I'm not really the sentimental type but that kiss was bliss and sadly enough it totally knocked ramen off my number spot of amazing things I enjoy.

We broke apart, both of us panting desperate for air and more of each other at the same time.

“Come on dobe let's get you back to Iruka - Sensei before he blames me for you catching a spring cold. That's the last thing you need on top of everything else.”

I smiled and watched as he stood brushed his pants off and then leaned over offering his hands which I gladly took. It was one thing to be pudgy and pregnant but a whole other thing to be pudgy, pregnant and unable to get up without rolling over and crawling on the ground in hopes of finding a tree stump or rock for leverage.

I took his hands and was hefted into a standing position. The sudden movement caused my vision to blur in a moment of dizziness.

“You okay,” asked Sasuke in a worried voice.

“Yeah, just a bit dizzy,” I said giving him a reassuring smile.

He lifted me and in a dazzling whirlwind of leaves and wind the surroundings disappeared. The movement was quick and I grabbed handfuls of Sasuke's shirt and held on.

The wind stopped and the leaves vanished and I found myself starring into a pair of grinning ebony eyes.

“Sasuke, Naruto?”

I turned and looked into Iruka Sensei's confused and slightly worried brown eyes. I blushed and tugged on Sasuke's sleeve.

“Put me down Sasuke - Teme.”

Sasuke grinned and set me down in front of him but not before pecking me on the cheek.

I turned and huffed looking into Iruka - Sensei's face.

“I was just escorting Naruto home Iruka - Sensei,” he said with the biggest shit eating grin I have seen since before he left to join Orochimaru.

“Why don't you come back tonight for dinner, Naruto's going to help to make it.”

“What….but Iruka - Sensei…” I fought for words but none would come and my hot cheeks didn't help at all.

“Of course, I'll see you tonight. Til then, dobe.”

He vanished in another whirlwind of leaves winking as he did so, “Show off!”

“Still flashy as ever I see,” said Iruka Sensei behind me grinning while scratching his nose.

“He's still the same ol' Teme,” I said stretching my arms behind my head.

“So let's start dinner! Let's see…how about beef teriyaki with white rice, miso soup, traditional green tea and sake and a nice salad? It should be simple enough.”

“You mean I can't have ramen!?”

“If your going to marry the only Uchiha heir then your going to have to learn how to cook and don't even try telling me that twenty different types of ramen counts as different types of food because I'm not buying it.”

“MARRY!? Are you trying to get rid of me!? I mean we did talk about things but marriage wasn't one of them.”

“Ah…but he said as much to me earlier when he asked for your hand in marriage.”

“He asked for what!?”

Iruka Sensei grinned, “Your hand in marriage or basically my permission for him to court you. The boy seems to have gained some manners.”

“That….that ass! He acted so shy earlier when he tried asking me to move in with him.”

“Ah, so he at least asked you that much…” said Iruka - Sensei with a thoughtful smile as he walked into the kitchen with my following behind him.

“No matter, let's get cooking, wouldn't want Sasuke's fan girls to cry fowl because you're starving the boy with a diet of ramen.”

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

The dinner went well and I had to admit that something other than ramen was nice and it wasn't all that hard to make either. I just hope that he doesn't think I plan on staying home all the time cooking and raising kids. I am definitely not a housewife.

Thinks I think are progressing just fine. Sasuke has been on a few missions and when he's not on missions he's helping to oversee the construction in the Uchiha district. I would say I'm lonely but I suppose that's not really true.

When he's not around I have Iruka - Sensei, Kakashi - Sensei, Sakura, Tsunade - bachan and then there's the rest of the gang. And I realized a few nights ago when the little one was playing soccer with my insides that when Sasuke's near the little one calms down and is not nearly as active.

So unbeknownst to Iruka - Sensei Sasuke has been visiting in the evening; usually making his entrance through my bedroom window. We don't do anything too naughty a kiss here a hug there and a bit of heavy petting and usually the two of us falling asleep in each others arms. Sometimes he falls asleep before me with his ebony eyelashes resting on pale cherubic cheeks framing that perfectly pale face. He usually sleeps with his arm across my expanding belly and I'm pretty sure the little one within intentionally positions him or herself against his arm.

It's moments like that that I truly enjoy. He seems so at peace when he's asleep although with his current project and reconstruction of the Uchiha district he occasionally whimpers in his sleep, his eyes jumping and an occasional tear escaping from tightly closed eyes.

It's those times that I realize how frail he actually is. In those moments I hold him close and whisper sweet sentiments into his ears until his face once again returns to a serene passive face like those from old Victorian paintings.

How I love this boy turned man. I only hope that I'm not setting myself up for some terrible heartbreak.

To Be Continued…..

Sorry it took so long. I work an estimated 62 hours a week and that doesn't count commute time for both jobs. In other news I have a BJD (Ball Jointed Doll). I bought a Chiwoo from LUTS. I LOVE him. He's named Rowan and is quite a pleasure to own.

Well let me end it here because I am subbing in music. The only reason I finished this chapter. The next chapter is a quarter of the way done as well.
