Summary: Sasuke and Naruto are transported into the future by a strange girl with unknown intentions. They get mixed up in the affairs there and with certain events taking place they find themselves FALLING IN LOVE! OMG! SasuNaru REWRITE!

*Author's Note*

I know that I didn't finish the original version of The Child but that version was real messed up and not well planned so I didn't want to continue it. Instead I rewrote the story and made Sasuke and Naruto transported into the FUTURE, instead of their child being transported into the PAST. Hope you enjoy this version.

I don't keep any files on previous chapters so don't ask me for it. Enjoy!

Chapter 7

Naruto stared confused as he landed in the same field he and Sasuke landed in. A cool breeze blew past caressing his long blond spikes as he evened out his breathing. Once again they were transported against their wills though this time they were grateful. That god awful creepy life threatening dimension was the last place they wanted to be. Naruto furrowed his eyebrows dissatisfied. Sure they found Kimiko but it seemed too easy. Kumiko was furious and unlike most furious villains he's met throughout his life, she went down easily. It was as if… she planned it. Naruto shook his head. He scolded himself for thinking that. What mattered was they defeated Kumiko and got Kimiko safely out of that room. If he began thinking like that there would be no end to the terror. But there was that one thing that kept bugging him. He wasn't sure if Sasuke heard it but when they poof away Naruto thought he heard Kimiko.

It sounded like she was begging him to not leave. He swore he heard Kimiko pleading with him for a split second but as he looked across the field at Kimiko who seemed transfixed by the surrounding, he shook his head.

If she said anything like that she would be throwing a fit by now. He reasoned with himself. Sasuke walked towards him and wrapped an arm around his waist.

"You ok?" He asked out of concern. Naruto placed a hand on his arm and nodded his head.

"Yeah just a bit woozy from all that's happened," Naruto answered him. Sasuke nodded his head. He too was a bit put off by the fast paced action. They stayed like that for a minute for comfort. The need to feel alive and well was demanding. Sasuke buried his face into Naruto's soft blond hair and Naruto clutched at his arms and closed his eyes with a sigh. The cool breeze whipped around them as if taking its share in the hugging session. Then Naruto patted Sasuke's arms and looked up at him with playful eyes. Sasuke arched an eyebrow.

"You were so brave back there." Naruto cooed.

"Uh huh…" Sasuke stared at Naruto waiting for something suspicious to happen. Naruto kept staring at him through eyes that seemed like they were planning something. Then Naruto detached from him and stuck his tongue out. Sasuke's eyebrow twitched at the random act of childish. Naruto pranced over to Kimiko and grabbed her into a tight heart wrenching hug. Her eyes widened beyond belief and pushed against his hold. Naruto shook his head; he would not have her pull away. He rubbed his cheek on her head. She scowled and pushed.

"Let go!" She demanded as she placed her hands on Naruto's arms and pushed. Naruto rubbed his cheek against her head harder.

"Nu!" he cooed even more childish. Kimiko growled louder and placed a foot on Naruto's hip as she pushed using both her hands and foot. Naruto just gripped harder and pushed her foot away from his hip. She tripped and fell against him. Taking this chance he lowered his arms from her neck and embraced her fully. He grasped tightly onto her back and pulled her flush against him; his cheek now rested upon hers. He continued to rub against her. A look of disgust crossed her face as she looked to Sasuke who was trying his best to contain his laughter. She glared at him.

"A little help would be nice." She hinted. Sasuke looked at her then stuck his pointing finger in his ear and looked to his right.

"Sorry, can't hear you." He mocked. She narrowed her eyes and her eyebrow twitched.

"Oh?" A smirk appeared on her face. She shot Naruto a look then at Sasuke. "Let go." She said once more.

"Nu," Naruto responded immediately.

"But… but… I wanted to give him a hug too!" Kimiko began to whine. Sasuke stopped dead in his mockery and turned stoned towards the two. Kimiko shot him a victory smirk. As if made by machines, Naruto's head snapped his way and he released Kimiko who slumped away from him. Within half a second He was in front of Sasuke and was crushing his air way.

"SASUKE!" he shouted and rubbed his cheek on Sasuke's chest. Kimiko brushed her hair back and dusted her clothes all the while giving Sasuke the victory smile. Sasuke glared at her with all his might but it proved no use. She didn't back down or shrink in fear.

An Uchiha indeed…. He was semi-proud and semi-annoyed. It meant in the future, whenever the two decided to reproduce, he would have children that were capable of saying no to him. He doesn't like people who can do that, well, besides Naruto. The blond continued to rub against him happily. Sasuke looked down and sighed. Naruto was truly scared for them all. He always was. Gingerly, Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and pulled him closer. The blond stopped rubbing against him and closed his eyes contently.

"Sasuke…" He whispered with a sigh and leaned in. Kimiko stood by shifting on her feet as she watched the two exchange sentiments. She looked around the forest taking everything in. A small smirk appeared on her face. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes for a second then opened them. She turned and walked out of the clearing. Kimiko headed for the forest giving Sasuke and Naruto time to bask in each other's scents. She, too, understood Naruto's childish hugs. Like Sasuke thought, Naruto was scared. And when someone is scared, they're in need of a hug. Her feet continued to walk as she observed the forest. It was quiet and soothing to the soul. Finding a clean spot of grass, she flopped down onto it and looked up at the clear sky. It was masked by the canopy of the forest but for some reason she still found it clear and peaceful.

A lot has happened these past years. These past days have been epic and adventurous but there's more to be done. I know it's not over. Kimiko thought idly. There was a nagging feeling that was persistent in the back of her mind. It was telling her it's not over. Could she trust it? The last time she trusted that feeling, she caused a big epidemic.

"Kimiko!" Naruto's voice boomed over the forest trees. She remained in her position as she listened to the rustling of leaves on the ground. The two were looking for her. The rustling came closer and grew louder. In the corner of her eye she saw Naruto approach her followed by Sasuke. The blond knelt down beside.

"Kimiko-chan… you walked off without us. We were worried." Naruto wore a hurt expression. Kimiko turned to him with a blank stare before sitting up and smiling. She scratched the back of her head and gave a sheepish smile.

"Sorry…" She spoke in a childish way. Naruto smiled and pulled her up and dragged her towards Konoha.

"Come on! Let's go meet Daiki! I'm sure he's worried about us!" Naruto whooped happily. Kimiko allowed herself to be dragged along. Only one word occupied her mind.

Daiki…

Sasuke trailed slowly behind them. His eyes focused onto Kimiko. For what reason, he didn't know. But that smile she produced was off putting. It didn't belong on her face that he knew. As he watched Naruto drag her towards the approaching Konoha gates, Sasuke ran his eyes scanned over her appearance. Her clothes were a bit tattered and dirty. Her hair was a mess and she was sporting some scratches that were still bleeding slightly. Other than that, there wasn't anything different. But Sasuke wasn't fooled. He knew better than to ignore his instincts. Keeping several paces behind them, the three walked into Konoha and up to the Hokage's tower. The minute they entered Daiki was at their side and pulled Kimiko into a hug.

"Oh my god! Thank god you guys are ok!" Daiki shouted. Kimiko patted his arm hesitantly.

"We're… fine… Dai-chan." She spoke. Daiki pulled away.

"What?" He asked. She looked at him confused before she bit her tongue slightly.

Whoops…

"Nothing, Daiki. I hit my head a while ago." Kimiko explained as she pulled away and sat down on the couch in his office. Daiki trailed behind.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, fine, just a small bump. Can't harm." She spoke a bit distracted by his office. She looked around then looked at the floor. She looked at Daiki again.

"Where are the others?" She asked.

"They went home first." Daiki answered.

"Went home?"

"Yeah, they were worried but I made them go home. They had families and considering this day and age, if they didn't go home on time we all know what's going to happen." Daiki explained. Sasuke and Naruto joined them on the couches. Naruto was smiling ear to ear. Sasuke arched an eyebrow at his display. Kimiko scratched at her neck and produced a heavy sigh.

"… Yeah…" She whispered back and stared at the floor.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Daiki asked concern dripping off each word. Sasuke watched Daiki lean closer with concern written all over his face. He placed a hand on Kimiko's shoulder. She flinched but stopped herself from pulling away. Daiki pulled back worry washing over his senses.

"Kimiko?" He advanced cautiously.

"… I… saw her…" Kimiko said.

"Saw who?"

"Her… I saw her…" Daiki seemed confused then recognition lightens up his features.

"You… you saw Kumiko!" He asked surprised. Kimiko's muscles tightened before she nodded.

"How? … Isn't she supposed to be dead?" Daiki shifted in his seat. Kimiko shook her head and covered them in the palms of her hands. She leaned forward onto her knees.

"I don't know... One minute we're fighting for our sanity the next she was right there. I don't know anymore." Kimiko muttered. Daiki patted her back.

"I don't know what happened but I can tell you one thing. You need rest, Kimiko. You've been pushing yourself so hard ever since the war. You're not invincible. Like everyone else you need rest." Daiki's voice was a whisper. Kimiko started to laugh slightly.

"Rest? I don't have time to rest." She spoke with a cold voice. Naruto shot out of his seat and wrapped his arms on top her back. He cradled her against his stomach. She pulled her hands away from her face and stared wide eyed at the floor.

"Kimiko, my child," Naruto lowered himself so he was closer to her. Daiki pulled back as he and Sasuke both watched. "You've done well. I'm sure everyone appreciates your efforts but if you don't get some rest how would you be able to see them and receive their gratitude? Rest, my child, let go and sleep. We'll all be waiting for the moment you open your eyes. We're not going anywhere, my child. We're staying right here." Naruto hushed her protests and rocked her back and forth. Slowly her eyes slipped and she drifted off. Naruto pushed her back against the couch and pulled her hair out of her face. He offered a motherly smile and kissed her forehead.

"Sweet dreams," he whispered. Daiki waved a hand in front of her face. Naruto smacked it away giving him a warning look. "She's not fully asleep yet. Don't you dare wake her up." He scolded. Daiki pulled back and raised his arms up in defeat. Sasuke chuckled.

"Fulfilling your role as mother, mother?" Sasuke teased. Daiki shot his head towards him.

"Mother?" He questioned. "You guys know?" The two nodded.

"Kimiko told us," Naruto said as he sat back down besides Sasuke.

"What exactly happened?"

"Kumiko hacked our transport when Kimiko ran out of chakra and sent us to another dimension instead. She tried to kill us by separating us from Kimiko." Naruto explained. Daiki looked at them like they were crazy.

"Apparently the dead doesn't stay dead. She said something about living in a different world and how she was free from physical restraints. It's such a long winded story I can't even remember most of it." Sasuke sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "I can tell you one thing though. The only thing driving her then was revenge. She had some serious issue with Kimiko that she wanted to settle badly." Daiki lowered his head and sighed.

"That… I don't blame her." Daiki said before he got up and headed to his desk. He shuffled papers around and placed them to the side. He smiled at them. "Can I trust you two to bring her back to the house? I need to get home before my siblings freak." Sasuke and Naruto nodded. They hauled Kimiko onto Sasuke's back and the three walked out of the tower. The streets were empty and dark except for the street lights. The three walked in comforting silence. Neither of them said anything as they lost themselves in their own thoughts. Daiki's eyes hazed over as he looked up at the moon.

When… When can we relax?

He spared the trio a glance. Kimiko's arms hung weird and stiff against Sasuke's shoulders as her head rested on his neck. He seemed uncomfortable but remained silent. Daiki sighed and looked back up at the moon. Somehow he was a bit jealous of Kimiko. He wanted to see his parents again as well but he knew Kimiko needed it more. Though both their parents died in the war, Kimiko received a bigger shock to the news about her parents. She's never been the same ever since. He sneaked one more glance at the family and sighed before looking down the road. His turn was coming up.

"Well, I got to turn here. See you guys tomorrow." Daiki smiled and turned down the street. Naruto waved good bye at Daiki's retreating back. The young man turned once more and was out of sight. The two continued their walk down towards Kimiko's house. The fact that they were her parents was still fresh in their minds. It hung loosely on a tearing rope above their heads. Naruto turned to the sleeping girl. She seemed so relax. No longer was she pulling a frown. Then his eyes shifted to Sasuke who looked paler than usual. Naruto arched his eyebrows.

"What's up, Sasuke?" Naruto asked. The raven tried to turn his head but paled even more. Instead he looked forward.

"I didn't notice earlier but she's wearing an earring on her left ear and it's poking into my neck…." He kind of struggled to speak. Naruto hauled Sasuke and pushed him to the side of the street. He gently lifted Kimiko's head and pushed her hair away. Sasuke was right, she wore an earring. But it wasn't any earring and Naruto couldn't figure out how he had missed it. It was a medium sized crystal hanging on a silver thin chain with the Uchiha crest in it. He gasped slightly and marveled at the crystal. He wondered if it's real.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked him.

"I… She's…" Naruto had no idea what to say. He took a deep breath. "She's wearing and earring alright. Not just any earring though. It has the Uchiha crest in it and it's a crystal." Naruto explained to Sasuke. The Uchiha placed her down on the floor, making sure it was clean, and took a good look at the earring. Naruto knelt down beside him.

"Is it real?" He asked breathless.

"One way to find out." Sasuke slid his finger against his tongue making it moist and wet. He spared Kimiko's sleeping face a glance before placing that finger on the crystal. He ran a horizontal line across it. The crystal hummed at a high frequency.

"It's real."

Naruto looked at him with a weird expression.

"How'd you know?"

"Crystal sings when you run something wet against it." Sasuke said as he wiped his finger with his shirt and wiped the crystal clean of his spit. Naruto nodded his head. "So it's a real Uchiha accessory?"

"Yeah, it's one of ours." Sasuke spoke in a whisper. He stared at the crystal.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't remember her wearing it though…" Sasuke said. Naruto turned and stared at the crystal.

"I don't remember it either. I mean, wouldn't we have seen it? It's quite hard to miss." Naruto palmed the earring but released it when Kimiko shifted a bit. Sasuke pulled back and sat on his hinges. Naruto made a point. The earring wasn't small. It was quite big. They should have seen it before even if her hair got in the way. Hair wasn't plastered against people's body. They shifted and rise with the wind. The earring would have stood out to them like a neon sign. And Sasuke was sure he had not seen her wearing that when they were in the other dimension.

"Maybe she placed it on when she was locked in the room?" Naruto asked.

"Does that make any sense to you?" Sasuke shot him a look. Naruto shook his head. Sasuke sighed and got to his feet. "Come on, it's getting late." Naruto hauled Kimiko back onto Sasuke's back and they got on their way.

The house was as quiet as they left it. The lights were out and the darkness consumed them as they stepped inside. Though Sasuke was positive Kimiko doesn't leave stuff around the front door, unlike Naruto whose house is always a dump full of clothes, ramen cups, chopsticks, and even weapons! How does he survive in that house Sasuke has no idea. He opted to stand still and wait for Naruto who fumbled for the light switch. His palms ran over the smooth surface of the walls searching for that extra piece of plastic with a switch on it. He travelled further and further into the house until he found a switch. He flipped it up and the living room light came on. He was standing in the living room. His face sported confusion as he stuck his mouth out in a weird position. (Think of a bird's beak or something) He had no idea he travelled that far in the dark.

"Oi, dobe…" Sasuke spoke as he walked carefully into the living room with Kimiko still asleep on his back. She was proving to be quite heavy suddenly. Naruto turned towards him the weird expression melting away.

"What's up?" he asked. Sasuke walked ahead of him and placed Kimiko on the couch before walking to the light switch where Naruto stood.

"Wasn't there a light switch by the hall?" Sasuke asked. Naruto shook his head.

"Nope, I felt both walls, nothing. Next thing I knew I ended up in here." Naruto answered as he turned and headed into the kitchen carefully in the dark hallway. The light flashed on in the kitchen and he started rummaging for food. Lucky for him, Kimiko, like him, had an endless supply of ramen stashed away in the last cupboard. He smiled and grabbed a random one.

"Now, we're talking. I can start seeing the family resemblance." Naruto laughed and boiled some water. Sasuke sighed and sat at the table. He rested his chin on one arm and watched as Naruto shifted on one foot to the other waiting for the water to boil. He seemed eager and more of a child now than ever. Apparently ramen can reduce his manliness to nothing within seconds of its presence. His eyes soften as Naruto practically tore open the ramen covering and pulled out the ingredient packages. He pouted as the water continues to sit still atop the fire. He slammed his fists on the counter and shouted at the pot. That sent Sasuke laughing. Instantly, Naruto turned his fire filled eyes on him and pointed an accusing finger in his face.

"The hell you laughing at!" He shouted. The display sent Sasuke laughing even more. He couldn't believe it. All this agitation because of ramen and slow boiling water. Naruto was easier to get pissed off than he imagined. The blond, not liking the fact that he was ignored, stomped over to Sasuke and gripped his throat tightly. The raven's eyes widened and grasped onto his hands.

"Oi… Naruto…" He whispered warningly. The blond ignored him and squeezed with all his might. Instantly Sasuke peeled off his hands with little to no effort and flipped him onto the table. Naruto's leg stood flat against the floor as he back rested upon the wooden table. The raven pinned his hands above his head and he leaned in close enough to give the younger an Eskimo kiss. Naruto glared at him and wiggled a bit testing the raven's strength.

"Let go, teme!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke glared back at him and tighten his grip on his wrists.

"No. Calm down, Naruto. It's just ramen. Look, the water's boiling." Sasuke pointed to the squealing water. Naruto instantly pushed him off by kicking him in the thigh and rushed to the water. He poured it into the cup and waited a minute before tearing the top off and digging his chopsticks into it. Sasuke rubbed his dirty jeans and headed for the fridge. No way was he succumbing down to Naruto's level and eating ramen. He was more productive in eating a full balanced meal. He rummaged around before pulling out a chicken breast and cutting it into strips before dumping them into the pot. He applied several sauces and stirred it. All the while he was steaming some vegetables in another pot. He walked to the rice cooker and peeked in. There was still some rice in there. He placed some on a plate, added water to it to loosen up the stickiness and placed it in the microwave for a minute. He went back to the chicken and vegetables taking them out and onto a plate. Soon he sat down and was eating his own creation. Naruto stared at him from across the table.

The blond had not held back with Kimiko's ramen. Not like he had any need to. The girl must have hundreds stored in that cupboard. She stacked them so tightly together Naruto couldn't even get them out without extreme care. He had empty ramen cups stacked on top of the other and was eating another bowl. But he was more curious about Sasuke's meal. The raven arched an eyebrow.

"What?"

"… Can I have a taste?" Naruto asked. Sasuke placed his fork down and stared at him. He hadn't expected that.

"… Su..re." He hesitated before picking up a piece of chicken with his fork and giving it to Naruto. The blond leaned forward and plucked it off the fork with his teeth. He chewed slowly and beamed at the taste.

"This is delicious!" He grabbed another piece of chicken and flipped it into his mouth. The raven muttered something but continued to eat his dinner. He noted that Naruto ignored the veggies. He picked one up with his fork and grabbed the blonde's face. He pinches his chin hard and forced his mouth open. Without hesitating he dumps the veggie in. Naruto chokes but eats it.

"Not bad… I like the chicken more though." He steals another piece.

"Enough, dobe. You ate more than enough." Sasuke picked up the plate and dumped the chicken onto his own plate of rice. Naruto made another grab for it but Sasuke pushed him by the face making him sit. The blond pouted but remained seated. Instead he looked out the kitchen and into the living room. Despite their loud talking and clanking utensils, Kimiko didn't seem to move an inch. She just kept sleeping. Naruto pushed farther away from the table and inched on the edge of his chair to get a good look at her. She still lay sprawled on the sofa the way Sasuke had left her. He turned back to the raven.

"We should place her to bed before she catches a cold sleeping like that." Naruto stated. The raven nodded. Naruto stood and went to gather her up in his arms. She didn't move; just kept sleeping. He took tentative steps upstairs and entered her room. It was just as she left it. He pulled back the black colored winter cotton blanket and laid her down on the equally black bed. He scowled. She might love ramen but she was just like Sasuke, overly obsessed with black. He placed her head on the BLACK pillows and pulled the BLACK blanket over her. She snuggled into the warmth instantly. The first movement she's made since they arrived home. Slowly he tiptoed out of the room and shut the door as quietly as he can.

Naruto tiptoed back downstairs and saw Sasuke washing the dishes. He walked up behind the raven and looked over his shoulders. He watched as Sasuke's hands flowed over the plates smothering them in dish detergent. He ran them over the water smoothly. It was like Sasuke's done it a million times. He probably did.

"Nice job." Naruto commented. The Uchiha whipped around to stare at him before turning back and placed the last dish on the dish dryer. He turned and wrapped an arm around Naruto's waist.

"So… how's the daughter?" he teased.

"Quite like you actually. Everything she owned on the bed was black."

"Hn. All she ever eats is ramen so we're even."

"How'd you know that?"

"Her cupboard. It's full of ramen. It's like a freaking ramen shop in there."

"Touché." Naruto agreed. Even he didn't have that many ramen…. Ok! So he didn't have the money to buy that many ramen but he definitely don't have that many ramen even when he was rich after successfully completing an A Rank Mission. He pushed away from Sasuke and yawned. He stretched and headed for the stairs, Sasuke behind him.

"I'm gonna head for the shower." He said. The Uchiha shrugged and followed Naruto into the room. "But I don't have anything to change into…" Naruto wondered. He wasn't prepared for this unexpected trip and he absolutely has nothing to change into. Sasuke walked ahead of him and towards the closets.

"Well, maybe Kimiko has something she saved that belongs to us." Sasuke said as he pulled open the closet. He was right. Hanging in the walk in closet was an array of dark colored clothing and the immensely seizure causing orange clothing. Naruto bounced happily and snaked through the orange side of the closet. He looked like he struck the jackpot in a casino. Though that would make Tsunade happier than Naruto. The old hag would have died there and then from the happiness. Sasuke shook his head and scratched it a bit before walking into the closet. He looked over his side of the closet. There wasn't much difference between his styles except the clothes were more mature. The Uchiha symbol still stood proudly on the back though. Several of them had it on the shoulder or at the chest but each and every one of them still had the Uchiha symbol. He heard Naruto grumble behind him.

"What?"

"They may be orange but look at the back of these." Naruto showed him the back of an orange shirt. There standing proudly was a black version of the Uchiha symbol. Sasuke smirked.

"Well, well, well," He taunted. "Guess we know who gave themselves away to whom now." Sasuke smirked. Naruto huffed at him but grabbed the clothing and headed for the bathroom. There was no point in whining over it. This was the future and he understood well enough that in the future he wasn't all prissy about taking Sasuke's name. And he had no choice anyway. Everything had the crest on it anyway. He headed into the bathroom where he sighed heavily and leaned against the towel rack. His eyebrow twitched. He's had had enough! The fucking bathroom was BLACK! The only thing that wasn't black was the wall. Seriously! What the hell is it with Uchiha's and the color black! He wanted to scream it to the world but he sucked it up and turned the knob for the shower. A shower was more important than pondering on their fascination with black. It was unsettling but the grimy feeling he was getting was overpowering the creepiness of their fascination. He stepped into the tub and tried to forget that it was black.

A/N: Thank you for reading my story!

I think this one's a bit longer than the rest. I ended up dragging the ending out longer than I intended to. Sorry if it seemed boring to you. And yes I did something random at the end.

See you all next time!

Bye Bye!
