Chapter 20: Pondering the Future

Fugaku stood in front of the Uchiha clan elders. They were discussing stripping him of the title of the head of the Uchiha clan. They were angered by the fact Itachi could no longer produce a legitimate heir and his youngest had been disowned for his sexual preference. He had not revealed that his wife was pregnant again. It would probably be the only thing that would keep him as head of the family.

"Give us a reason we should not remove you from the post of head of this clan," they said to him, eyes narrowed. "Your eldest couldn't keep it in his pants and cost the clan an heir. Your youngest no longer belongs to this clan. You are much..."

"Mikoto is pregnant," he interrupted and the elders murmured amongst themselves. He came forward with the most recent ultrasound. "She's having twins. We don't know the genders yet." They looked at the ultrasound.

"We won't remove you as head at this time. Itachi will be removed from the head house and placed in a house at the back of the property. His illegitimate children are getting taken in and he is to raise them in the same house. A woman of the clan that has been verified to be infertile will help him take care of the children. You will have no more contact with him, except to send him to us once his mission has been completed. Is this understood, Fugaku?"

"Yes." He lowered his head. The elders left the room and he stood and left. He would get someone to clear out Itachi's room and deliver everything to the residence he would be taking once he returned from his mission. He knew the elders had already worked on retrieving the children from the women through the village. It was seven children, minus Keichi. The Uchiha clan had no claim on the him since the clan had kicked Kagome out of the clan while pregnant in him, essentially giving up claim to the child. The other women were never apart of the clan and they were trying to drain the clan of an exorbitant amount of money. The threat had been pay me money or the kid would end up on the street. Instead of paying and the children ending up on the street, they were taking in the children.

He moved to his home and found the young woman that was helping his wife. "Keiko, can you have your brother move Itachi's stuff moved out tomorrow? He will be moving into the house and the very back of the compound.

"Of course, Fugaku-sama." She bowed to him and watched as he kissed the top of Mikoto's head and sit to eat lunch. She knew he would be going back to work after eating. There was a lot of paperwork he had to get done. She moved out of the kitchen and started to clean up the empty room. She noticed a few things had been moved into the room. A crib and some other baby stuff was in the corner. She had asked Mikoto if she wanted help setting it up, but she said Fugaku would be taking care of it during his next day off. She just nodded and swept and mopped the room. It wasn't a bad job. Mikoto was a kind woman, and she knew her condition was really sensitive. It was said there was a chance she couldn't have anymore children, and if she did, it was extremely risky for the child and the mother. She prayed to Inari that Mikoto and the child would make it through this ordeal.

~With Sasuke and Naruto~

Sasuke looked down at the tired form of his boyfriend. They were both naked and his boyfriend's cheeks were flushed. He wasn't usually the one to instigate moments between them, but he couldn't help it this time around. They had trained hard and were covered in sweat and bruises when they got home. The moment Naruto had taken his shirt off, he had pounced and dragged his muscled boyfriend down the hall and into the bathroom where they had stripped the rest of the way and turned on the shower, their lips barely parting. He had washed Naruto off before dropping to his knees and taking his beloved's phallus into his mouth. The blond had moaned lowly and his head fell back before his hand found purchase in the inky locks before him, guiding in in the pace that he liked.

Sasuke remembered that his mouth had made Naruto's legs lock up before he gave a surprised sound. He had swallowed down everything that was offered before standing. Naruto was dazed and he just kissed him before washing and dragging the blonde to their room. He had kissed the blonde male with a passion he hadn't known he had. He had eased his blonde boyfriend onto his knees and spread his cheeks. The sight of it had him harder than he thought possible. He had lubricated himself up before finding himself lost in the body below him. Which lead to what he was doing currently, looking down on his boyfriend, a wash cloth in hand. He cleaned up the mess that was their previous activities and dropped the dirtied wash cloth into the laundry to be done in the morning. He crawled onto the bed and pulled the blankets over the both of them. Naruto moved so that he was sprawled across his chest. He wrapped his arm around Naruto and placed the other behind his head. He felt Naruto nuzzle his chest and then settle and in moments he was asleep. Sasuke used this time to reflect on his life up to this point. He couldn't say that he hated his life. He would have been miserable and angry had he never started his relationship with Naruto. He couldn't regret his life.

~Kakashi's House~

Kagome stood in front of the stove cooking dinner. Kakashi and Keichi were in the back tidying up the yard. It was a bit overgrown from neglect. They had been working on it since they came back from training and school. The house felt a bit lonely. It was big for three people, but it must have been lonelier for two. She knew he had grown up here with his father after his mother had died. It just seemed lonely. It made her want to have another child to fill the silence. She would talk to Kakashi about it later. She knew that he would want to have kids eventually. If they came to an agreement, then they would have to talk to Keichi about it. He had been an only child for a long time.

"Go get washed up for dinner, Keichi," Kakashi said as they walked in from the back.

"Yes, tou-san." Keichi ran off to the bathroom while he came in. He washed his hands in the kitchen sink before grabbing a clean wash cloth before wetting it and wiping the sweat from his face and neck. He rinsed it and wrung it out before placing it on the counter.

"It smells good," He said as he came up behind Kagome, wrapping his arms around her.

"Thanks. Do you mind setting the table? I should be done soon." He gave her a kiss on her temple before releasing her and grabbing the plates and utensils. He placed the plates in their places and placed napkins down before setting down the chopsticks. He set the cups on the table next and helped Kagome place the serving dishes on the table. Keichi came in and took his seat. Kagome placed the last dish before taking her seat. Kakashi took his seat and they started to serve themselves food. Keichi looked at them and took a careful bite and thought over what he wanted to say. He swallowed and looked at them before he decided to just be blunt.

"When are you going to make me a big brother?" Kagome seemed to choke on the food and Kakashi spat out the water he had been drinking. Kagome thumped her chest and started coughing after forcing the bite down.

"We haven't..." Kagome started, a blush across her cheeks

"If I had my way," Kakashi started, shooting a mischievous look to his fiancee, "It would be soon." Kagome nearly fainted at his words.
