Baby Tracker: Week 6-8

Cerulean eyes gave another melancholy stare into the mirror. They focused on the slight bulge already forming at his tan abdomen. It looked like Naruto had a little more than just a big breakfast, which was quite impossible now that he was sacrificing his breakfast each morning to the holy toilet of doom. He even had the paranoia to measure the difference and he had widened by a few inches. It was scary considering he had been such a slender boy throughout all his years of youth.

“Naruto will you stop moping already? We have to go see Lady Tsunade” Sasuke grumbled, standing in the bathroom door way and glaring at Naruto checking himself out with his shirt rolled all the way up. “You look fine okay, no one can really tell you so you aren’t really freaking out anyone in Suna. But we won’t even get to Suna if you don’t come see Lady Tsunade first” he growled impatiently.

Naruto narrowed his eyes as he looked at Sasuke and finally pulled down his shirt. “You’re such a prick Sasuke” he complained, marching out of the bathroom and jerking his packed bag from Sasuke’s clammy grasp. He tossed it over his shoulder and headed to the door. He had spent one miserable week here with Sasuke and he was dying to see Gaara again.

He truly hated it here. He couldn’t tell it he wasn’t getting good sleep because he felt sick all the time or if it was because he felt like he was being watched in the middle of the night, no doubt Sasuke’s doing. Even when he confronted him about it Sasuke claimed viperously that it hadn’t be him. Hah, as if Naruto would believe a pervert like him. He was sure Sasuke was just upset that Kyuubi was on his side lately.

It turns out Kyuubi felt most uncomfortable in this situation. So much of its chakra was being fed into the baby that Kyuubi was beginning to feel, defenseless not to mention afraid since Naruto wouldn’t have the same capabilities to protect himself anymore. So Kyuubi had taken things into his own hands and has started to use what little chakra he has left as a barrier for Naruto. Just like Gaara’s sand shield, a cast of red chakra would block Naruto from anything Kyuubi thought was threatening. That’s right. Kyuubi was calling the shots. If he thought a neighborhood dog, barking half way down the street was a threat- there went up the shield. If he thought the lecherous hands of Sasuke was a threat as he tried to pat Naruto on the back as he vomited, was a threat then Sasuke’s hands would be blocked. It was a great inconvenience in Naruto’s opinion because he couldn’t control whenever Kyuubi did it. Not to mention if Kyuubi was really determined about the threat, the chakra could send Sasuke flying across the room on occasion. Reason being why Sasuke kept his distance just now rather than grabbing Naruto and dragging him to the door to leave.

Sasuke was rather eager to get to Tsunade’s to ask her about that to begin with. Sure he was pissed it meant he couldn’t make any advances on Naruto but he was also generally worried that he wouldn’t be able to save Naruto if he got injured or something. Surely the nine tails would understand when this game was inappropriate right? Would it even let Tsunade get close to Naruto if she held a scalpel?

He was hoping to find out soon enough as they finally arrived at Tsunade’s office. It a bit of time since Naruto kept taking detours to avoid the restaurants. All the smells coming from them that usually made him so hungry were in return making him feel a little queasy and he rather not baffle out stomach acid again.

The busty blond woman looked at them when they stepped into her office. She smiled lightly seeing Naruto. “Naruto you look well. Maybe even glowing” she teased, standing up. She kneeled down in front of the teen and lifted up his shirt. She gently placed her hand on Naruto’s stomach. “The baby seems to still be intact. You should be just far along enough to get your first ultrasound. What do you say? Want to see it before you go to Suna?” she asked eagerly.

Sasuke was inwardly fuming at the mouth over this. How come Tsunade got to touch Naruto’s stomach and not him?! For crying out loud that could probably be his own child in there! It would be unfair if he went the whole pregnancy without ever touching it!

Naruto shook his head. “I’d rather it be a surprise. Can I get one when I see Gaara? We can see it for the first time together” he chirped eagerly. He couldn’t wait to see the look on Gaara’s face.

Tsunade smiled and nodded. “Sure. I’ll write a letter for you to give to one of the medical nins there” she mentioned. She looked briefly over at Sasuke, noticing his bitter mood. “Is everything okay Sasuke?”

“Of course not! That stupid nine tails won’t even let me touch Naruto! Can’t you do something Lady Tsunade! I can’t protect him if I can’t even touch him!” Sasuke growled. He reached over to touch Naruto’s shoulder in demonstration. Just like had happened many times before, a shield of red chakra burst up, stopping Sasuke’s contact and even stinging him a bit. He quickly pulled back in annoyance.

Tsunade sighed and rolled her eyes. “Okay let my guess. You try to touch Naruto when he’s sleeping or feeling sick, or even when you are frustrated that you haven’t got to touch him yet?” Tsunade asked. Sasuke lightly flushed and nodded. “Well there’s your problem Sasuke” she scolded him. “You chose the wrong times to touch Naruto. He is already vulnerable but you chose his most weakest times to touch him? Can he really stop you from touching him if he wanted to while he was sleeping or too busy barfing?” she mentioned. Sasuke pouted a bit, knowing she was right. “And how safe do you think Kyuubi feels with you wanting to touch Naruto when you are unstable from frustration and anger? You looked like a madman just now” she warned. “If you want to help, try doing it when Naruto can fully see you and only when he gives you permission to. Kyuubi doesn’t like being sneaked up on” Tsunade mentioned. She stood back up and patted Naruto’s head.

Sasuke glared down at the floor and crossed his arms. This totally wasn’t fair. Now he had to ask for permission to touch his baby?! Naruto would just tell him no! “Fine. Can we get going now” he hissed.

Tsunade nodded after handing Naruto the note. “Be careful Naruto and Sasuke. You two should be very use to going that path so I trust that I won’t need and entire escort team of black ops? Though I have decided to give you two some help. I was convinced Sakura would still be out on her mission today but she came back early and she begged to go alone this time for Naruto’s safety. And Kakashi couldn’t miss out on his whole team going so he of course is along for the ride. Have fun” Tsunade teased.

Sasuke wanted to pull out his hair. Great, he was never going to get any alone time with Naruto before they got to Suna! Sakura was never going to stop talking and Kakashi already didn’t trust him with Naruto. This was nightmare.

Megami lightly poured the freshly made tea into the cup and set it on a tray. Picking it up, she walked carefully back to Gaara’s office. She knock softly at first before letting herself in. She saw the older teen looking awfully mope as he continued to read over all the papers he had to sign. She lightly sat down the tray. “I made you some tea Lord Gaara. Maybe you should take a break for the night. It’s already three in the morning” she mentioned hesitantly. She was temporarily working as his office help since he couldn’t trust her enough with real missions.

She was beginning to worry about the other’s health. She knew ninja could stay up late for missions but she hadn’t seen Gaara sleep even a wink for the entire week. She always stayed up here with him until nearly sunrise and then he would send her away to rest in the guest quarters for about 4 hours. Surely Gaara got some sleep right?

Gaara looked up from his papers with narrow eyes. “It’s none of your concern but its not a matter of not wanting to sleep more of I can’t sleep” he mentioned briefly before going back to work.

Megami looked at him skeptically and finally smirked. She came over to Gaara’s side of the desk, suddenly sitting on his work and pushed him back in his chair. “None sense. I’m sure the great lord Gaara is stronger than a little insomnia? What’s bothering you my Lord? Bad dreams? Loud noises…or perhaps…” she scooted down into Gaara’s lap, her leg on either side of his hip. She wondered why he was giving her such a stoic expression. “A little…sexual frustration. They say that can lead to sleepless nights as well my lord…” she whispered seductive. She lightly wrapped her arm around Gaara’s neck. “You know I am here to simply serve you Lord Gaara…in” she leaned down and lightly kissed his head. “Any”, she kissed his nose. “Way”, she kissed his cheek. “Possible”, she kissed his lips lightly. She looked up just for a second to see if he would even react but he looked as stoic as ever.

Before she had a chance to further make advances, Gaara Simply stood up. She instantly slid from off his lap and landed on the floor, her head hitting the desk a bit. “Ow! Hey what was that for?! A Simple no would suffice!” she exclaimed.

Gaara walked away from the desk. “Believe me. If I was having sexual frustration, you would be the very last person I would even have suck my dick” Gaara retorted in a cold tone. With that he stepped out of the room and headed down the hall.

Megami pouted, crossing her arms as she still sat on the floor. “Fine…than who would you like to do the honors?” she mumbled to herself. She stood up and looked down at Gaara’s desk, noticing the unfinished papers. Curiously, she sat down in his chair and opened up a few of the desk drawers. She was a little taken back when she actually found a pair of boxers in the back of the bottom drawer. “What the hell?” Surely Gaara didn’t go around changing in his own office. They weren’t even his size she would assume. And she dearly hoped this wasn’t his taste in clothes either. It was a tacky pair of green boxers with odd ramen spirals all over it. She took a quick whiff, noting it certainly wasn’t Gaara’s scent.

She smirked lightly. “Was this who Lord Gaara would rather have? Some guy? “Well we’ll see just how long you keep a hold on Lord Gaara” she mentioned, shoving the underwear back away into the drawer and stood up. She wondered how she was going to find this guy. Was he even in Suna? Looks like it was time to do some research.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Thanks you guys for your patience. I had no idea I would be so busy this week. I got a week long assignment to teach a bunch of kids so its been straight writing up lesson plans rather than getting to write fanfics. >.< Not to mention I’m on another job hunt! Who needs an employee? Lol. Well I’m glad to have gotten this out. Megami is certainly up to no good. And poor Sasuke may never get to woo Naruto like he wants. I want votes! How many people think Gaara is going to be happy to hear the news and how many people think Gaara will be less than thrilled? XD I of course already know but I want to know what percentage of my readers are optimistic and pessimistic lol
