Breaking the Habit

Chapter 4: You all assume

I awoke to a pain unlike any I had felt before in my lower stomach and abdomen. I sat up wrapping my arms around my midsection gasping for the breath that the pain seemed to steal. The pain lessened until there was nothing but a dull ache and then my vision began to swim. I looked around me at the unfamiliar room that I resided in and fought for control over my body as the room around me spun and tilted in various directions. I moaned and fought the new stomach pain that had developed.

I fought to free myself from the blankets tangled around my body as my stomach lurched. I was going to be sick and the last thing I wanted was to be sick in an unknown place.

The door opened and I saw the familiar face of Kakashi Sensei who came just in time to see me clap my hand over my face as another spasm caused me to make a hurling noise in my stomachs preparation to expel its contents.

I heard footsteps and then shouts.

“Iruka, grab the trashcan!”

Footsteps pounded across the wooden floor and Iruka Sensei came to a skidding halt in front of me and quickly set the trashcan down between my sheet tangled legs. I leaned over it and removed my hand from my mouth allowing the vomit that had been forthcoming exit my body in sickening splatters. My stomach clenched and unclenched repeatedly as it continued to spew its contents upwards until I was no longer throwing up past meals and drinks but stomach acid and finally nothing.

Dry heaves were the worst. It hurt and the clenching stomach muscles in search of something to dispel were hell. Finally it abated and I spit any remaining contents out and into the trashcan.

A hand holding a clear glass of water appeared next to my face and I slowly, carefully and shakily took it. I took a small sip and swished the water around in my mouth before spitting it into the trashcan. I did this once more before I finally took a small sip and held out the glass, at the same time watching as the trashcan vanished from my sight and area of smell.

The glass disappeared from my hand and I slowly lay back down, feeling weak and tired once more. I closed my eyes and hoped that the unpleasant feeling of being sick would go away.

I awoke when a hand placed a cool cloth on my head. I opened my eyes and looked up into a pair of hazel eyes partially obscured by long blonde bangs.

“It's nice to see that your awake brat,” Tsunade said with a playful smile.

I wanted to smile but I felt hot and aches and pains made it a tad bit hard to smile at the moment.

I felt a firm and gentle hand touch my stomach, gently moving in a long circular motion. I tried sitting up to see and was gently pushed back down just as I had gotten a glimpse of the small feminine hands belonging to Hinata. Her pure white eyes were narrowed in concentration, the veins and muscles around her eyes and forehead were enlarged and straining as she used her byakugan.

Her eyes widened and then turned serious before she closed them, the visible veins and muscles leaving her face and forehead as she did so. She opened her eyes again and turned to look at Tsunade - bachan.

“I'm guessing you've found what I suspected,” Tsunade - bachan stated more than asked.

“Yes. His chakra is flowing to his midsection where a set of cells has begun to form which is why his body is taking longer to heal.”

“So in others words…,” I asked in a soft raspy voice.

“Itachi's experiment was a success and he will most likely appear sometime within the next month or so to make certain of it himself.”

I lifted my right hand and laid it atop my stomach as it sunk in.

I was pregnant.

In eight months I would help Sasuke rebuild the Uchiha clan by giving birth to Itachi's child. If I lived through the carrying and delivery of this child I would be a father or was it mother?

“Is that why I was ill,” I asked closing my eyes.

“Partly, it's not morning sickness its more like your body protesting to the new chakra and energy levels in your body and the stress it's putting on your body. Your chakra flow is already chaotic thanks to your merge with Kyuubi and this just made it stretch to its limit, besides if you develop morning sickness it should take longer to take effect,” answered Tsunade - bachan.

I felt the material of my pajama's move back down over my stomach and then the blankets were lifted over my lower body.

“I want you to think about your decisions and make the one that's best for you Naruto,” Tsunade said as she stood up straight brushing her pants off.

“I already know what I'm going to do.”

She stared down at me, her face the perfect emotionless mask.

“I'm going to keep it and I'm betting that's another reason Itachi did it. He knew I wouldn't kill an innocent life.”

Tsunade gave a small nod, “We'll be here for you brat. Iruka would like you to move in here with him. I think it's a good idea. You have the extra protection and someone on hand should you need anything. I want you to rest and recuperate. No overexerting yourself because that will cause you to get sick again. Your body needs your chakra to build and become steadier in its flow and amount and that's going to take time since its helping your body to heal and helping the fetus to grow.”

I nodded and gave both Tsunade and Hinata a smile, “Thanks bachan, Hinata.”

“You can trust me Naruto - Kun! This secret is yours and yours alone,” the usually shy Hinata replied diligently.

“Arigatou, Hinata - chan.”

Hinata stood and bowed, smiling brightly. She walked out of the room and into the hallway, closing the door.

Tsunade - bachan's expression turned cold and angry as she stared at my blanket covered midsection.

“What's wrong Ba-chan?”

“If Itachi should set foot in this village his life is forfeit. I will not allow his crimes to go unaccounted and unpunished. This is will be his final crime.”

“Tsunade - bachan, don't make that face it makes you look older and the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes and forehead become visable,” I said looking up at her smiling.

She extended a finger and gently flicked my forehead, a small smile replacing the angry glower that had covered her features only moments ago.

“So the brat's going to have a brat…we need to make plans. I suppose they can wait but it's never too soon to start thinking about what you'd like to do.”

I looked into those hazel eyes and considered what she had said, “I'd like to find a house. I can't raise a kid in an apartment and certainly not in my Sensei's house. I'd like some place away from the crowd.”

“I'll put together a list of available houses and have them sent over here. I'd like you to stay with Iruka until your body's completely healed,” she worried her bottom lip between her teeth as she studied me.

She had a look of deep irritation, anger and worry deep in those hazel eyes. She released her bottom lip and crossed her arms under her bountiful breasts.

“I don't know what to do about you and Sasuke and truthfully there's not a lot I can do except for keep him busy but the boys not an idiot. I'm pretty sure he's working things out right now if he hasn't already.”

She sighed and scratched her head, “What do you want to do with Sasuke?”

I felt my cheeks heat up and I fought not to fidget under her watchful eye.

“Don't act all shy now. I know all about your feelings for the boy. You were horribly transparent when he had gone to Orochimaru. You both are completely useless at expressing your feelings and it's more annoying than sad really. Neither of you are good at acting or reacting on to yours or others feelings.”

I looked down at my hands, my fingers twiddling amongst themselves, “I'm not that bad; at least I was straightforward with my feelings!”

“Sasuke made mention of that last night. He said something about you kissing him and then when he tried making a move on you at the bathhouse you started screaming and attempted to claw his eyes out.”

“Whatever is said in this room stays in this room, right?”

She nodded and grinned.

“Yes, I like him! I kissed him a month or so ago and his answer was to shove me to the ground and give me a disgusted look. I had kind of pushed aside my feelings and counted myself as one of many that had been rejected by him.”

She slapped her palm against her face and drug it downward moaning, “You moron! The boy has nothing to go on when it comes to emotions of love let alone reactions. You are way more knowledgeable about those things than he is!”

“Fine, that explains him shoving me away but what about him denying the kiss he gave me when I was nearly unconscious after our battle!?”

“I'm beginning to think all men are emotionally retarded…He didn't mention that but think about it! He didn't kill you to gain the next level of Sharingan and then he kissed you before he left. It was a parting kiss.”

I thought about it…it kind of made sense….

“What did Sasuke do to make you want to claw his eyes out,” she asked as her demeanor suddenly turned serious.

“He started with his usual insults and I wasn't in the mood to deal with his snarky comments so I stood up and started limping away from him. He grabbed my elbow and yanked me causing me to fall against his chest and it then he asked about the bite mark on my neck while he touched it and his arm tightened around my waist while he forcefully moved my face to look into his.”

I could see the scene replaying in my head and subconsciously squeezed my arms against my stomach, flinching when I squeezed the same elbow Sasuke had grabbed. I looked down at my hand, removing it and revealing a row of rounded bruises in the exact spot Sasuke's hand had been.

“He had the same look in his eyes,” I said softly.

She didn't reply.

“He kept starring at me with the same smoldering dark eyes and his grip tightened and I couldn't get away and instead of Sasuke I saw him…”

“So you reacted like anyone in your situation would have,” she said as she gently placed a hand on mine.

I looked up and into those concerned hazel eyes and nodded as I tried to swallow the lump in my throat.

She pulled me into a hug, my face pressed against her large bosom. I was betting that this is what a mothers embrace felt like.

“I think you and Sasuke will eventually need to have a nice long talk,” she said as she held me close.

I heard her words and understood what she wanted of me but at that moment I didn't want to hear anything other than her heartbeat and feel the warmth of her embrace.

“You're carrying and Uchiha and he has a right to know. The child you carry will be a future Uchiha and a hope that name and abilities of the clan will be passed on. You are also carrying Sasuke's family, his future niece or nephew.”

“Can I put it off for a while,” I asked drowsily.

“Put it off too long and the problem will reveal itself. You're going to start showing in two or three months.”

I sighed and sat up, reluctantly leaving the warm security of her embrace.

“Do the elders know,” I asked out loud.

She gave me a confused look and I realized I hadn't specified what in my question, although I was curious as to what they knew and how much they knew if anything about me or my current predicament.

“Do the elders know about Kyuubi and me merging?”

Realization erased the confused look on her face and she once again looked solemn, “they know.”

My chest tightened just a little and my heart beat felt like butterflies in their death throes.

“Don't worry, you pose no threat to the village and therefore pose no threat to them.”

I nodded and felt my chest loosen slightly, “Do they know what happened….with Itachi?”

She nodded, “Oddly enough they are more worried about that predicament then the fact that you and Kyuubi have merged. One would think that they suspected you and Kyuubui were going to merge sooner or later. Itachi on the other hand is something no one in the council could have predicted and that makes them nervous. We're all curious as to what his next move is and what his motivation is.”

I placed my hands protectively over my midsection. I had met Itachi only a handful of times and each time he was just as unreadable and unpredictable as the last. He had killed his entire clan sparring only Sasuke which left everyone wondering why. Had he done it in atonement or perhaps he did it to ensure that the Uchiha name would live on? I wondered if perhaps he hoped that Sasuke would succeed in becoming more powerful than him and if so, was this hope founded on the idea that Sasuke would defeat him and end his life? If that was true then why rape me with the intention of creating an heir? Did he want his genetics passed on and with it the next generation of Uchiha or was I just a momentary amusement?

Would he come to kill me and my unborn child? Would he attempt to take my child from me and possibly me as well? With Kyuubi and I merged and able to procreate we were a rare commodity and with the possibilities genetically available my value had skyrocketed.

A horrifying image came to mind. I saw myself heavily pregnant with Itachi looming in the distance with usual look of frightening indifference in on his stoic features.

Kyuubi felt something for this terrifying man? It was most likely the frightening authority and stoicism that exuded from Itachi that attracted Kyuubi to him. If he were like Kyuubi he too would see what qualities the fox demon found so enticing. From an animals stand point Itachi was an excellent breeding partner and had superior genes that would be passed on to his offspring. Itachi had the potential to be a good protector but the unpredictability made him more of a threat.

“I don't want you to worry too much brat. Itachi will keep his distance for the first few months and possibly longer.”

At those words somewhere deep inside I felt disappointment and a tinge of sadness. I was betting a good portion of what I was feeling was thanks to Kyuubi. It was sick to feel something for the person who raped you. I knew this and yet deep inside I couldn't fight the emotions that filled me.

“I supposed I'd better head back before Shizune hunts me down. I'm going to send some herbs over with Hinata and Sakura later. They'll help with healing, pain and some are good vitamins for the little one. I want you to take it easy and rest. You're going to be tired and lethargic for the next month or so until your chakra has finally evened out and your body gets used to supporting the baby.”

I nodded and lay back down against my pillows and watched as she stood up and did a few stretches waking up her legs.

“And just so you know, I'll be your doctor and pediatrician.”

“Like I would go to another,” I said smiling.

“Get some sleep. See ya', brat!”

I closed my eyes and heard the door close as she left and felt the heavy tiredness pull me under again.

I wanted to rebel against sleep and yet I couldn't. I needed it physically and emotionally and fighting it would just do more harm.

I yawned a few times and let the dreams take me away.

To Be Continued…..

This chapter just didn't want to be written. I sat at work for 2 weeks and wrote this short chapter. It drove me insane! Then Nekocon came and I worked that and there was no time to write it then. Oddly enough…I worked the game room at Nekocon and more specifically the Tournaments and of course there were Naruto tournaments. I'd have to say that some Naruto fans scare the living hell out of me!

Well I have to start on Chapter 5 so Ja Matane!
