-Naruto and the Key of Twilight-
Tsunade looked up as Naruto and Riku entered her office. She was amazed that Naruto could even stand when he was that pregnant let alone walk, but she decided to keep her thoughts to herself. The very last thing she needed was a hormonal Naruto in her presence.
“You called, baa-chan?” Naruto asked.
Tsunade felt a vein twitch in her forehead at the name but kept her cool.
“Yes. I've decided to keep you on bed rest until your babies are born.”
Naruto sputtered indignantly and said,
“But why? I can take care of myself, dattebayo!”
“I know, but there's still the risk of Akatsuki to think about. They got into Sunagakure which means that they'd have no trouble getting in here.”
Naruto understood where she was coming from, but that didn't stop him from being miffed. He looked over his shoulder as Kasumi put a hand on his shoulder.
“Maybe it's for the best, Naruto-sama.”
He sighed, seeing that he was outnumbered and said,
“Fine.”
Tsunade hated seeing that defeated look on her little brother's face but knew that if Akatsuki got a hold of him and the babies he was carrying, she would never forgive herself.
Riku wasn't sure why, but hearing Tsunade talk of Akatsuki, whoever they were, made him clutch his babies closer to himself.
He was certain they would be in great danger if that group ever got a hold of them.
~Meanwhile: About a mile away~
Sasuke stretched as he got out of the train. He had seen the universe, or at least a part of it and was very impressed by the trip. But he wasn't about to show it. What he didn't know was that no matter how hard one tried to hide emotion, having seen the universe wasn't something you could hide. It showed in your eyes no matter what you did. It just didn't stay hidden.
He looked around his home and saw a fine layer of frost on the ground.
“Welp,” King Mickey said as he got off the train, followed by Sora, “if my guess is correct, we've arrived here in time for Christmas.”
“I wish we'd got here before the wedding,” Sora sighed.
Sasuke nodded in agreement, wondering why he felt so hurt by Sora's words. He wanted Naruto… didn't he?
“Where would Riku be?” Sora asked.
Sasuke thought about it, then pointed. “That way.”
They made their way in the direction Sasuke had pointed. But had only travelled half a mile when Sora's tummy began to growl.
“We're halfway there,” Sasuke told him. “We'll get some lunch when we arrive.” Under his breath he added, “If Naruto hasn't already eaten everything in the place.”
They made their way until they reached the hospital. Stopping briefly to pick up some snacks for Sora, they quickly found which room Naruto was in.
“Riku…” Sora began, seeing the babies for the first time. “I…”
Riku clutched the babies closer to himself and turned away.
“Riku?”
“So, you've finally come.”
“I didn't know,” Sora pleaded. “Riku, I came as soon as I heard. Please, just listen.”
“To what, Sora?” Riku asked. “It's too late. I'm married now.”
“But you can't possibly love him!”
“Why not, Sora?” Riku demanded.
“Because you love me!” Sora whined.
“Correction, I loved you. Past tense.”
Sora stumbled back as if his heart were broken. Which it was.
“Well, if that's the way you want it…” he pouted.
And without saying another word, he kissed Sasuke full on the mouth.
Riku glared at Sora while Naruto glared at Sasuke. Then, catching each other in the act, they glared at each other before both turning away from each other and sticking their noses up.
“Okay, you two,” Kasumi smiled. “Enough pouting. Everyone in the village knows you two absolutely adore each other.”
Sasuke sank to his knees in a wobbly fashion. He didn't care who saw him. He had just found out that Naruto had married another, had been kissed by his new friend, Sora, and had been glared at by Naruto. That last was nothing new. But for some reason, this time it hurt all the more.
Naruto looked over at Sasuke and saw an unfamiliar look on his face. The raven's normally icy demeanor was replaced with a look of hurt and bewilderment. Naruto took pity on his ex-lover and said,
“Sasuke.”
The raven looked up at the blond in confusion and stood unsteadily. Naruto looked up at Riku and asked,
“Could you give us a second?”
Riku looked from Naruto to Sasuke then said,
“Sure.”
Naruto watched as Riku and Kasumi left the room, dragging a reluctant Sora out with them. For a moment, neither said anything to each other. When the door closed, Sasuke took a reluctant step forward, catching Naruto's eye. When he didn't get any objection he walked the rest of the way and stood next to the bed where Naruto was resting.
Now that he was up close, he saw Naruto's swollen abdomen and his eyes widened a fraction of an inch. Naruto caught his gaze and said,
“There's four.”
Sasuke let a fraction of a smile slip unnoticed onto his face and he asked,
“They're alright, then?”
“Yeah. Two are human, and two are demon.”
Sasuke looked at him in disbelief, but knew that Naruto wouldn't lie about something this serious. There was a moment of silence in which the tension in the air thickened.
“So, you really married him?”
“Yeah.”
More silence. If there was one thing that Naruto couldn't stand, it was an uncomfortable silence.
“You have my blessing then.”
Naruto smiled and nodded.
“Thanks.”
Sasuke turned to leave, but when he got to the door, Naruto called to him.
“Sasuke!”
He looked up and watched as Naruto smiled in his usual fashion and said,
“Try not to dwell on me too much. We all know that you can't live without me.”
Sasuke smirked and said,
“Tch. We'll see, dobe.”
~Meanwhile, in the other room~
Sora looked over at Kasumi, who was holding the older of the twins. Then back at Riku, who was holding the angelic child in his arms.
“So, tell me something,” he said, “who's the father?”
“Who do you think, Sora?” Riku asked, hurt by the question.
“Well, certainly not me,” Sora sulked. “I'd never make a freak like that.”
“If you're going to insult my son, then you can just get out of my life.” Riku growled as he walked out of the room.
“You really shouldn't have said that,” Kasumi admonished Sora. “It was very rude.”
Sora's shoulders drooped. “I know,” he admitted. “I just… it hurts so much to see him with another man like that. I thought he loved me.”
“I think he did love you when your children were conceived,” Kasumi told him.
Sora felt a stab of guilt. He walked over to the door and stepped outside.
“Riku?”
“I don't want to talk to you,” Riku sulked.
“Come on, Riku,” Sora pleaded. “I just wanted to say I was sorry.”
“Not accepted.”
“Sheesh, you can really hold a grudge, can't you?”
“You called my son a freak, Sora.”
“Our son.” Sora corrected him. “Or are those your husband's children?”
“What do you think, Sora?”
“I think I would've made a good father,” Sora told him.
“I don't,” Riku disagreed. “You'd have sent Masamune-Raiden to an orphanage just so you didn't have to raise a freak.”
“Riku, I said I was sorry.”
“Not good enough, Sora.”
“Please, forgive me, Riku. I spoke without thinking. I was just so hurt by your leaving me for another.”
Sora gave Riku such an adorable kitten-eyed look, the kind which surpasses all puppy-dog looks, that Riku finally relented and forgave him.
“You said the angel is named Masamune-Raiden?”
Riku nodded. “The one that looks like you is named Taro.”
“He does look like me,” Sora observed.
“Look, Sora,” Riku said. “I'm sorry I left like that. But…”
“Ancient history,” Sora replied. “I'm glad you found someone you love. I just wish…”
Riku nodded. “I know. We should get inside. There are dangers here I'd rather not expose the newborns to.”
Sora nodded, then followed Riku back inside.
