Twisted

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. I hope that you all enjoy the grand finale of Twisted. Oh and for those interested, please do feel free to check out my other stories.

Chapter Notation: This takes place five years after the last one.

Guest Reviewer Request Response: Thanks for the request. I do have a couple werewolf stories with Naruto x Sasuke called Animal Magnetism and A Rare Breed. I haven't specifically made Sasuke an omega though. I can't promise that I'll get to that request as I'll be very limited on what I can do for new stories for awhile, but I will add it to my list of potential possibilities.

Chapter 21

"Are you sure that's safe?" Sasuke raises an eyebrow. "Kushina is only five."

Their little princess was growing up so fast and she was going to start at the Academy today, but she also had a baby brother who she adored more than anything. Sasuke was half convinced that his daughter thought that Kenji was actually a living doll or something.

Naruto just laughs at him and nods. "I'm sure she can handle carrying him." Sasuke wasn't so sure about that. "I mean she activated her Sharingan only a few days after she was born. I think she can handle pushing a stroller around."

That was a fair point. Maybe, Sasuke was overacting a bit. It was just a bit hard when Kenji was only three months old and the spitting image of Naruto and his paternal grandfather, save for his dark hair.

It was difficult not to feel enormously protective of someone that small and adorable. Surely, Itachi had to feel the same way. Right?

"We should get going, if we don't want to be late." Kurenai smiles at them. "Mirai is eager to give Kushina a tour of the Academy and I'm sure Katsu feels the same way."

Itachi chuckles at that and nods as he stands next to his wife. "Yes, it would be best not to keep all of them waiting." Katsu was Itachi's son with Kurenai.

The adorable one year old had hot pink or light red eyes like Kurenai, but otherwise looked a great deal like Itachi. Sasuke had noticed that he had his mother's smile and ears though.

Sai and Shisui walk over to them and hand Itachi a picture of well, something. Sasuke couldn't entirely see what yet, but knowing Sai it was bound to be a doozy.

"What's this?" Itachi quirks an eyebrow at them.

After all, his brother knew exactly what Sai could be like. He had every reason to be suspicious. It would have been foolish not to be.

The artist beams at him. "Take a look." Oh boy. "It's to celebrate your anniversary with Kurenai."

That was sweet, but Sasuke knew Sai better than that. Whatever he had painted couldn't have been fit for the eyes of children to see.

Itachi cautiously looks and his face goes as red as a tomato. "You're impossible!" He scowls at the other man. "Come. We don't want to be late for the ceremony. I'm certain that everyone else is already there by now."

That was a nice save, Sasuke thinks to himself. Though it didn't escape his notice that Sai had painted a picture of Kurenai wearing only a dress made out of cupcake frosting. It was rather well done and yeah, he could see why Itachi was mortified.

"Alright." Sasuke nods at everyone else. "He's right about that. Let's go." With that being said, they all quickly departed for the Academy.

A short while later, Aoda watches in amusement with the other Summons. They were all present. Katsuyu, himself, Garuda, Gamabunta, Charger, and yes, even little Daisuke.

"Sorry about the wait everyone." Naruto grins at the crowd. "You know what it's like when you have kids." There were some quiet laughs at that.

Yes, everyone knew what it was like when one had Hatchlings. You had to defend them to the death and they did have a habit of making it difficult to move from one place to the next as quickly as you could have before having them.

Charger roars with laughter. "They're all fine cubs, but you should give your speech now." Oh yes. The speech.

Humans were quite fond of speeches, Aoda had noticed. Almost as fond as they were of gazing at Hatchlings. As was evidence by some children looking at Kenji and Katsumi.

"Splash Splash!" Katsu coos as he splashes their faces with water.

Not to be outdone though, Kenji nearly knocks the curious onlookers over with a heavy gust of wind. The Hatchlings were all quite impressive to say the least.

"Um right." Naruto rubs the back of his head sheepishly. "Welcome to the Ninja Academy. I'm sure that you'll all make great ninjas, if you never give up on yourself." He smiles as he places his hand on Sasuke's shoulder. "That and I hope one day you all find loyal comrades who will stand by your side no matter what. Believe it!"

Everyone starts clapping. Humans did love to clap, Aoda notes. They could also be quite loud when doing so. If he had ears, they would be ringing by now.

"Damn right!" Gamabunta nods his head sagely. "Oh and one day, if you really apply yourself, perhaps you'll be worthy of earning a Summoning Contract of your own."

That was the wrong thing to say, especially in front of Kushina. "I'll start practicing as soon as we get home." She smiles. "If my fathers can do it, I can do it." Oh boy. They were all in for a long night, though Aoda did have to admire the Hatchling's enthusiasm.

He idly notes that Sasuke's parents were beaming with pride at that. Well, that and shaking their heads in exasperation as was the proper response in a situation like this.

"We'll talk about that later." Naruto beams at all of them. "So we've got a lot of refreshments laid out for everyone and you're free to explore the Academy to your heart's content. This is your first official step towards becoming real ninjas, so make the most of it!" He strikes a dramatic pose that makes Aoda laugh.

Today was a far cry from that day that seemed so long ago now. The day when Naruto had once again nearly lost himself to the darkness. Fortunately, his eldest Hatchling had saved him.

It was incredible really. She had saved them all before she could even talk. Gods and Goddesses only knew what she'd be capable of by the time she was a Genin.

Later that day, Naruto smiles after they manage to put the children to bed. Which was no small feet when you had Kushina and Kenji for your son and daughter.

"They're a handful, but I wouldn't trade them for the world." Naruto grins at his lover.

Sasuke smirks at the blond in response. "That's true, but the same could be said about their father." Oh and because Sasuke was a sexy and sneaky bastard, he kisses Naruto before he could say anything.

Not that the Hokage minded that sort of sneak attack. Nope. Even after all these years, their Honeymoon Period was still going strong.

"Whatever." He laughs. "I guess that's accurate, but can you believe that Jiraiya actually warned me about pursuing you?"

His husband shakes his head as he takes Naruto's hand in his own and smiles. "I can understand why he did back then." Alright, maybe that was fair. "You did get a little crazy for awhile, but you came back to us and that's all that really matters in the end."

Yeah! Believe it! This was why he loved his sexy bastard. Not only was he sexy, but he understood him perfectly.

Naruto smiles and heads to their bedroom with Sasuke. "Yeah. Well, they started it." In his mind, there simply was no denying that.

Sasuke shakes his head as he playfully pins Naruto to the bed and kisses him yet again. "I know that." He really could be so sneaky sometimes. "I'm just saying that you almost lost yourself in the process of punishing them."

Yeah. It had been a close call. Thank goodness for super babies or else, Naruto wasn't really sure what would have happened.

"I'll always come back to you." He kisses Sasuke more and caresses the side of his face. "Believe it, but can you really believe that Orochimaru is pediatrician now?"

That still baffles him. Then again, Naruto supposed he could see it in a strange way. Orochimaru had been really excited about Kushina and Kenji. So perhaps it was only natural that he would want to change his career.

"Yeah." Sasuke snorts as he looks down at Naruto. "I guess it's a good thing that he's finally decided to use his powers for good." He rolls his eyes as another thought occurs to him. "He's probably doing better than Jiraiya really who is still selling those dirty books."

Hey! Those books had their merits, especially the yaoi editions.

"Oh come on." Naruto laughs at him. "You have to admit that those have given us a lot of good ideas."

Sasuke smirks at that. "Alright." Good. If nothing else, his husband was an honest man. "Maybe they do have some use. Mostly though, I'm just really glad that you went back to being well, you."

Naruto frowns at that. He suddenly felt the need to defend himself. After all, he was Hokage now and the village was doing much better than it had been before.

"I probably would have snapped sooner or later." He slides his hand underneath Sasuke's shirt until it settles over where his heart would be. "Being a Jinchuuriki is never easy."

Sasuke sighs at that and nods. "I know, Naruto." He places his hand on Naruto's heart as well. "It wasn't fair what you went through or what any of you went through, but things are better now."

Damn right, they were better. Naruto had made them better. It was as simple as that.

"Because we made them that way." He smiles.

There was no point in denying that he wouldn't have been able to do it without the gorgeous man how was currently on top of him. Not that Sasuke would stay on top of him for long, but Naruto didn't mind allowing him the illusion that he was in control now and then. Besides, the view was fantastic.

"Yes, we did." Sasuke smiles at him. "From peers, to teammates, to best friends, to lovers, and husbands." Yep. That summed it up nicely. "It's been a long journey, but we finally got our happy ending."

Who knew that Sasuke could be such a sap? Well, he might be a sap, but Sasuke was his sexy sap.

"Yeah." Naruto laughs as he runs his hand up and down Sasuke's heart. "I know that I got a little twisted there, but between the Jinchuuriki stuff and everything they were trying to pull with your family…I just lost it."

He would do it again though. Naruto would do anything for Sasuke and their family. He had to know that.

"You'd do it again." Sasuke sighs as he shakes his head. "I can see it in your eyes." Well, that was because he was smart. "Your love can be a little twisted sometimes, you know that?" Maybe. "But as long as it's real and you don't destroy the Five Nations or something, I'm okay with that."

Naruto just grins at Sasuke and kisses him. "I'm glad that you're okay with that." Because he would chase this man to the ends of the earth, if he had to. "Mostly because you know that I'd never let you go."

Everything was perfect for the moment. Kenji and Kushina were growing so fast and Naruto was married to the man of his dreams. Not to mention he was Hokage. He didn't have a reason to embrace that darkness again. (Well, at least not until Kushina was old enough to date anyway)…

"Good." Sasuke smiles at him. "Because I feel the same way about you." He reaches over and gets some chakra cuffs. "You're not the only one who can be twisted." That smile quickly turns to a smirk. "Though some forms of twisted are more fun than others."

Oh boy it was going to be a long night. "Good thing the kids are already asleep." Naruto smiles as he pulls his husband down for a heated kiss. "That and whoever invented the Soundproofing Jutsu was a genius." Believe it!
