Naruto's Different Beginning
Chapter 3
YOU HAVE A CHILD!

The next morning after training, the four sat together at the Slytherin table, talking quietly in Japanese. The doors of the great hall slammed open for the second time in under twelve hours, interrupting their conversation.

"Iruka-sensei," Sakura spoke up in the quiet of the Great Hall, "you're here." The brown-haired man namedIruka stood tall in the doorway, two pink blanket-wrapped bundles in his arms.

Sakura and Naruto both stood, walking over and each taking a bundle from him.

"Thanks for bringing them to us, Iruka-sensei, we wouldn't have made it through the year without them," Naruto said thankfully, gazing lovely at the pink bundle in his arms. "I missed you, Aihisa."

"It was only a few days, Naruto," Sasuke spoke up as he walked over and wrapped an arm around his boyfriend firmly.

"Yes, but…"

"It's alright, Naruto, we understand. I felt the same way about Kaiya," Harry told his best friend. Over at a table decorated boldly in red and gold, two teens, a girl with bushy brown hair and a boy with bright red hair, looked at each other in confusion.

"Since when does Harry know Japanese?" Ron whispered loudly to the girl.

"I don't know, Ron, but I'm going to find out," she hissed back before turning back to the party in the middle of the Great Hall.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, but could you please speak English and explain what's going on?"

The four whirled around, Sakura and Naruto carefully, to see that Professor Dumbledore had walked over.

"This is Aihisa, our daughter," Naruto told the old headmaster, motioning to Sasuke as well as himself, "and Sakura is holding her and Harry's daughter, Kaiya."

"WHAT? YOU HAVE A CHILD! YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN, HARRY POTTER!" the bushy-haired girl yelled in shock and rage.

"Yes, I have a child, Hermione, what of it?"

"You're not old enough to have children! Besides, it's wrong to do… that… before marriage!"

"What, sex? Get over yourself, Hermione! You don't know what's been going on since I left, so don't lecture me!"

"I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO LECTURE YOU! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN BEFORE MARRIAGE!"

"The only reason we aren't married, Hermione Granger, is because we haven't had time! So drop it! Besides, Naruto and Sasuke have a child, and they're only sixteen! And so is Sakura!
"YOU ALLOWED A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL TO HAVE YOUR CHILD? ARE YOU NUTS! AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT'S NOT REALLY THEIR CHILD, THEY'RE BOTH GUYS!"

"Don't you dare speak like that to us, lady, you don't know us. So I was fifteen when I conceived Kaiya, what does my age have to do with it? It's not a big deal where I'm from, ninja tend to die young; it's a dangerous job. If they have a family at all, they start them young. If they don't, they'll likely never have one," Sakura said in a deadly quiet tone.

"And just because I didn't give both to Aihisa, doesn't mean I'm not her 'mother,' she's my child; we adopted her in a blood ritual," Naruto informed the silent hall, gently rocking his tiny baby girl.

"Mother? You can't be a mother, you're a guy!" Ron spoke up.

Sasuke saw red. He lunged, pushing Ron into the wall. "If you so much as glance at my family the wrong, way, I'll kill you," he hissed in a deadly tone, his harsh words echoing around the room.

"He didn't do anything to you! Let him go!" Hermione yelled at him, trying to pull Sasuke off of her redheaded boyfriend.

Sasuke pushed her away. "Naruto and Aihisa belong to me, if you mess with them you have to deal with me. That goes to everyone! You got that?"

The hall was silent, fearful of Sasuke's rage.

"YOU GOT THAT!" he screamed.

Some version of the word 'yes' passed through every mouth in the hall nervously. That is, everyone but Ron and Hermione, and they deeply regretted it the next morning.

Sasuke's fingers flew into hand signs furiously, and the two fell unconscious instantly.

"You may be here to protect our school, but you can't go around threatening our students, child," Professor Dumbledore told Sasuke sternly.

Sasuke growled. "No one harms my family. Never again, not after last time."

"I assure you no one will harm them, there's no reason to be so protective."

"No reason to be protective! You try having your loved one and your child, only a baby, kidnapped and tortured for a week and not end up protective!"
