Chapter Ten (month three early Oct.)

It now seemed that Naruto could hold down more food. Nothing quiet as strong as Ramen or grease foods were held down. But fruits and veggies were becoming his; I mean her best friend this past month. The farmers market knew to make way for me. Seeing as I know had become an errand boy. Only Naruto called me that, and only in our privacy. Right now I was clutching a list full of Naruto's cravings. So far all she is really craving is the strawberries. 'Kami I never knew how much a person could eat them in so many forms. Shakes, ice cream, cake, salads, cereal, pie, pancakes, cheesecake, and jam on toast.'

As I was rambling in my head someone decides to touch my shoulder.

Bad idea, black ops are not meant to be snuck up on. I quickly grab the person's arm, and whip them around in a cop hold.

"AHH. Sasuke let go."

To my surprise I had a certain old man thrashing.

"Jiraiya?" I say as I let go of him.

"Damn it boy. I am old… show some respect to your elders." he grumbles as he rubs his arm that I held.

"Sorry but you should know better than to sneak up on a black op." I say defending my actions from the toad sage.

"Yeah yeah…all you kids think that you are high and mighty adults now that you have grown up. But I say you all just got a normal Ninja childhood."

"What of my childhood was normal?" I ask with my lips pressed thin.

"Nothing was normal of it, and that is why it is a ninja childhood. You all had to grow up faster than the normal kids of the village." He explained as he looked up and down at me.

"I see you still have that stupid haircut. Kids these days." he mutters.

"So you are back. Does Naruto know?" I reply as I started to walk with the Sage following me.

"No, Naruto doesn't that I am here yet. I wanted to ask you if you knew where he was but that plan back fired since you almost tried to rip my arm off." he laughed.

"Yeah. Did you check the apartment?" I asked him.

"No, not yet. But I am going to guess that he is at the ramen stand." He smiled as a soft fall breeze swept past us. Rolling a couple of colored leafs in our path. The leafs were stepped on later by laughing children that ran past us. Jiraiya looked back to see them smiling. 'I love this place…finally at peace.'

"I don't think Naruto is at the Ramen stand. Since he has given that up for a little bit." I replied and kept walking ahead.

"What?! Naruto gave up ramen?" Jiraiya remarked not believing his ears.

"Just for the time being but you need to catch up on some things Jiraiya." I said as I shuffled the bags for a better hold.

"Are all those fruits?" the old man asked as he saw a splash of colors in the bag I held. "Nope, some veggies are in there too." I replied as I took a left turn.

"Health kick?" Jiraiya threw out as he took an apple from the top of the pile.

"Yes because I am just so fat." I said taking the apple back.

"Can't even spare a damn apple." the sage grumbled, and followed the Uchiha up the staircase to Naruto's door. Sasuke got his keys out, unlocked the door, and walked in. "Naruto I am home." I shouted as I sat the bag down on the counter, and motioned for the sage to take a seat. I began to separate things out of the brown bag, and opened the fridge door.

"About time Sasuke. Did you get the carrots?" Naruto's voice echoed thru the apartment.

"Yes. Now come to the kitchen because I also picked up a gift for you." I said as I began to place the fruit in the fridge.

"Really?" Naruto's foot steps came closer to the room, and entered.

"Jiraiya." she said in disbelieve as he stood up and stared at her.

"Naruto?" he said with his head tilted as he looked at her.

"Why are you wea-" Naruto then dashed into a hug, and stopped him from talking.

"I have missed you so much." Naruto mumbled into his chest.

He smiled, and stroked her head. "I did too." he replied.

"So are you gunna tell me why you are dressed like a girl?" he asked causing Naruto to pull away from the hug, and laugh softly.

"Right. I have gotten so use to wearing them I forgot."

"What's going on?" Jiraiya said as he sat back down.

"I am not using my sexy justu for a joke nor a mission. Jiraiya my teacher… I am pregnant." Naruto said as she lowered her hand to her tummy. Pervy sage's eyebrows went up high in surprise, and his jaw dropped down. He stood up, and looked at his student's eyes. Jiraiya brought his arms up, then dropped them, pushed his hair back, and just hugged Naruto picking her up.

"Are you happy?" Naruto asked as his master twirled her around the kitchen.

He stopped and set her down, "Yes. I am knuckle head."

Naruto smiled and looked down at his toes before looking back up at his grandfather. Because that is in all honesty how he felt towards his master.

"Naruto…why are you crying?" the old man asked as tears rolled down her checks. Sasuke then wrapped his arms from behind her and rocked her in a slow pace.

"I am just so…" Naruto started but she began to hiccup as more tears trailed down.

"Oh." Jiraiya said as he held on to her hand.

'This is just so perfect. I wish I could tell everyone…' Naruto thought as she felt so much love that she could have never believed ever receiving in her life. After Naruto had returned to a normal level, they went to the living room to have tea. Jiraiya even went on to tell them about when he had first been told that Minato was going to be a father. He had passed out from the shock. Pervy Sage made Naruto smile at the stories of his parents that he would have otherwise never heard of nor know about. Sasuke just watched as his other half smiled, and giggle at the tales that the sage weaved out for her. The raven haired male, got up from the sofa, and took the tray of empty cups to the kitchen.

"Sasuke, I am going to leave. Naruto is asleep on the couch." Jiraiya said as he entered the room, and leaned against the wall. Sasuke turned around, "Alright. You made his day. Naruto's has been wondering when you were going to visit again since he got your letter last month."

"Great so the mail ninja did get here then." he smiled as he looked back into the living room.

"Sasuke…congrats. I know you will watch over him like a hawk more than ever."

"Thank you and I always will."

"Good, then I am out. Night." the sage said before he proofed out of the apartment. "Night." Sasuke said as the smoke rose. He swatted it away from his face as he walked back to the living room and saw Naruto laying down with blanket covering most of her body since she had the habit of moving in her sleep. Sasuke smiled, walked over to her, and picked up his sleepy knucklehead to the bedroom. Naruto woke up once Sasuke had her being carried.

"Sasuke?" she said half asleep.

"He left but I am sure he will be back once you are rested." he then gently laid her on the bed.

"Oh, ok. Sasuke?"

"Yes." he responded as he shut the door and removed his headband from his forehead. "Can we celebrate Halloween with everyone else?" she asked as she slid under the covers for warmth that she had left on the old worn out sofa.

"Maybe." Sasuke yawned as he closed the bedroom door. He walked back to the living room to make sure all the lights were off. Sasuke picked up a pillow that Naruto knocked down when getting off the couch. He placed it back on the old faded thing and smiled at it. 'What a dope. This thing has been through so much.'

There is no way that they would ever think of removing it from there life's.

In fact, Naruto had received it from an elderly lady who was moving out of his building back when he was just 19 or so. Sasuke remembered it had been fall, because Naruto wore his favorite green sweater as he tired to get the couch inside the apartment.

"How the heck, did she get it out of her door? I mean we have the same door size…right?" Naruto then got really up and close to the frame to inspect it.

"What the hell are you doing?" scared Naruto to turn around, and see Sasuke with crossed arms. 'He must of just finished a mission since he has a rip on his pant leg and has dust all over him. But why would he stop by?'

"What the fuck does it look like? I am going to get my couch in my house." Naruto said as he put his hands behind his neck, and leaded against the dull, scrapped railing.

"Is that so? Do you need help?" Sasuke said trying his hardest to seem like he didn't really want to waste his time around the idiot. But deep inside he was craving to be around the blonde angle, and his scent.

"Really?" Naruto said surprised at Sasuke's un selfishness. The raven haired teen nodded, and he scanned the area to seem cool as the wind.

"Okay, let me open the door and you can grab the back end." the happy blonde smiled.

'I would rather grab your back end.' Sasuke thought as he checked him out.

Naruto turned around, "Okay now let's try this." he said as he picked up his end of the sofa. They both picked it up, "Okay now tilt it on its side and it should slide in" Naruto said as blew his bangs out of his field of vision. Sasuke almost let go of his end of the couch but regained his hold. Naruto pulled and Sasuke pushed but the middle head rest hit the door frame, and stopped the couch from entering.

"Dang it. I thought for sure that would work." Naruto said as he and Sasuke set the sofa back down. Sasuke stood still for a moment before Naruto shouted, " I got it...pick it up Sasuke, and try to copy my movements", Sasuke then picked up his end of the couch. Naruto did the same and smiled, "One.. Two… three. Easy, easy…easy… whoa.. whoa.. Stop, stop, stop, No twist it, no twist my way..look down and see the way I am twisting it…yeah okay do that from your way. No no just put it down…okay lets put it down and try to figure this out." Naruto shouted at Sasuke.

"Okay kami I am putting it down." Sasuke said almost losing his temper.

"Wait I got it. Why don't we pivot it?" Naruto yelled as another idea come out.

"Pivot? How the hell?" Sasuke asked as he picked it up again.

"Just Pivot…pivot…pivot!" Naruto said as he tried not to rip the couch apart.

"Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" Sasuke shouted exasperated.

"Oh my kami. We are just making this so much harder than it is." Naruto said as they both set the couch down again. A bird fly by the boys singing it song like there is no darkness in the air. Even though both boys wanted to kill each other.

Naruto was running his hands through his hair thinking of anything, "Alright Sasuke, okay… okay I got this. We are going to take the cushions off, unscrew the legs and take the mattress out and this whole thing is going to be a lot simpler."

"Naruto I am not doing all that for this piece of shit couch." Sasuke stated.

"Aw come on. It was free, all I got to do is clean it and some febreeze and it will be good as new." Naruto said as he climbed over the couch and out the door and stood next to the raven haired boy. Sasuke pulled away at how close Naruto got to him.

'This guy…why does-' A voice cut his thought, "Hey kids have you thought about just placing the couch in a justu scroll and carrying it as a scroll?" a women yelled across from the other building. Both guys smacked there faces.

"Thank you Mrs. Cooper!" Naruto shouted to the lady as she waved to them, and closed her window. After a quick scroll, they had moved the couch inside Naruto's place. Once the blonde deemed a place worthy of the new addition they both crashed on it exhausted after their many attempts. Sasuke felt like it was the best sleep he had gotten in long time mainly due to the other warm body next to his.

The now older Sasuke shook his head at the couch and walked in the dark back to his love.
