-Naruto and the Key of Twilight-
Nightfall over Konoha was clear and the air was brisk with a cool winter breeze. It was just cool enough to cause goose bumps on Naruto's arms, though he knew that they weren't from the cold. Naruto and Riku were sitting outside watching the stars. They were especially bright tonight. There were no clouds save for the smoke coming up from a nearby bonfire. Naruto couldn't remember being happy like this and as he looked at the lilac-haired teen sitting next to him all thoughts of his last lover vanished.
The falling star came down around midnight. It was brilliant with a long tail. Naruto and Riku spotted it out the corner of their eyes while they were kissing. It landed about a mile away.
“Let's go see it,” Naruto suggested, getting up and beginning to head in the direction the falling star had landed in.
Riku nodded, as he got up to follow the boy he had fallen in love with.
Both boys were very pregnant by then, and their babies were moving around a lot inside of them.
A second falling star, this one red with a black core, landed less than two feet in front of them. A demon, one even a nine-tailed fox would have gladly avoided, grabbed Riku and Naruto by the throats, and began to strangle them.
Just then, a woman with long hair down to her ankles and large white swan-like wings glided like a skater toward them, a gale of wind and rain blowing from her wings and knocking back the demon.
She gazed at them with eyes of pure white with aquamarine pupils, shaped like six-pointed stars. Aquamarine rings surrounded the pupils and seemed to pulse outward like neon signs. Her lilac hair billowed out around her in all directions.
She was clearly not at all happy with this demon.
As the demon seemed to disintegrate, Naruto and Riku shut their eyes and prepared for impact. When they fell, however, the fall was cushioned by a soft wind. Naruto was hesitant to open his eyes, but when he did, he saw the woman in front of him and was mesmerized. His brow furrowed and he looked from the woman to Riku then back. He fancied that he heard ticking somewhere in the distance then a loud `ding' as he looked up.
“Uh, Riku?”
“Yeah?”
“I think your mom's here.” Naruto whispered.
Riku looked up a little disbelieving. He stood up to get a better look and noticed the similarities. With the woman's eyes on him, he felt almost as if he was being x-rayed. Her eyes lingered for a moment on his abdomen and a smile graced her features. She opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by a hiss of pain. Naruto stood and put a hand on Riku's shoulder.
“What's wrong?”
Riku was doubled over with both hands on his abdomen, fresh tears pricking the corners of his eyes. He felt his stomach tighten uncomfortably and he fell to his knees. At this point, Naruto was starting to feel the edges of panic. He knew what was wrong and also knew that there was no way he would be able to get them both to the hospital in time. He looked up at the woman in front of him and said,
“Please.”
She seemed to glide toward them and Naruto vaguely wondered if she was even touching the ground. She knelt down next to them both and wrapped her wings gently around the three of them.
“Close your eyes,” she said softly.
Naruto was a little reluctant, but another pained moan from Riku made him obey. They vanished in a flash of white and when Naruto opened his eyes, he was in the hospital. Fortunately, Shizune and Tsunade happened to be there and looked at them. Naruto looked up at them and said,
“Riku's in labor.”
Those three words kick-started the two doctors and in an instant, Naruto was standing outside a set of double doors, looking through the glass panels at the operation taking place. He felt a pang of regret when he glimpsed the brown-haired baby, wishing beyond all belief that it was a blond baby instead.
Shizune was about to close up Riku when Tsunade held up her hand. “It seems we've got something else in here.” She told the other doctor.
“I hope Riku's okay,” Naruto said, worriedly as he watched Tsunade resuming her work delivering the babies.
What was she doing, he wondered. The baby was already born. So… why?
A moment later, he saw the tip of a lilac colored wing. Then the rest of what Riku had given birth to, an infant who greatly resembled the woman beside him.
“My grandchildren,” she smiled. “Do you have anyone to help look after them?”
Naruto nodded. “Her name is Kasumi Tendo,” he told her. “She's very kind.”
“I'd like to meet her,” the woman told him. “I'd like to know more about the woman who is looking after my grandchildren.”
When Riku was well enough to have visitors, his mother and Naruto went into the room and sat at his bedside.
“I trust the two of you plan to get married.” The woman said, her voice scolding but not unpleasantly so. She sounded like an amused mother who's just found her child's hand stuck in the cookie jar.
“Oh, it's not Naruto's baby,” Riku explained. “It's my ex-boyfriend Sora's.”
“Oh. Where is Sora?”
“Back on Destiny Islands,” Riku told her. “It's…”
“I know where it is,” she kissed Riku's forehead. “Rest. I'll be back in a bit.”
Sora and Sasuke were in the middle of their first kiss when Riku's mother arrived and without a single word used her wing to cuff Sora upside the head.
Before Sora could say a word, Riku's mother vanished from Destiny Islands and returned to Konoha.
Sora blinked a couple times in confusion and asked,
“What just happened?”
“No clue.”
Back in Konoha, Naruto looked over the babies and felt another pang of regret. He would help raise them of course, but knowing that they weren't his was something that he couldn't live down.
“Naru?”
He looked up at Riku and saw that he was concerned.
“You won't hate them…will you?”
The thought of hating two innocent infants makes Naruto's heart hurt. He leaned up and kissed Riku's forehead, whispering,
“Of course not.”
