Revelations

Synopsis: It's no secret Kurama's soft on you. But when his demon form finally sees the light after hundreds of years, the fact only further cements itself.

It's surreal to think just a few weeks ago you were an ordinary high school student. A few weeks ago you had been completely oblivious to your best friend’s secret life. A few weeks ago, he'd been walking you home like he'd always done.

Talking about everything and nothing at the same time. Visiting his mother in the hospital before you took off to your job at some ramen place to earn a few extra bucks. A simple life it was.

Uneventful but peaceful.

Now here you were in some stuffy hotel, cheering on said best friend as he fought in a tournament. A demon tournament, if you may add. Where death was always a possibility and he and his friends were constantly fighting for their lives. One of which was the boyfriend of your boss’s daughter. And thank goodness she was or else you probably never would have known what was going on with Shuichi.

You never would have had a clue as to why he was suddenly absent from your life. Where he suddenly vanished to when the day before, he'd talked about having a ‘study date.’ How, now that his mother was better, it'd be nice to have a proper dinner between the three of you. Talks of the future, like you'd wake up and he'd be right there.

Turns out it was all a lie.

That first day you'd checked everywhere for him. It wasn't until you went to work that you met up with Keiko. Who was also suspicious of her boyfriend’s absence. The two men in question had seemingly vanished over night. And in your search for answers, you'd come across the sister of another guy who went missing.

Three in one day was no coincidence.

The common denominator? A blue haired woman who was apparently a grim reaper. A few threats from Shizuru had her spilling everything. How Shuichi, sweet dorky Shuichi, was a demon. And a prolific one at that. How all three of the boys, plus another demon, were forced to fight in this tournament. Or else they'd die along with everyone they cared about.

It made sense why they'd all left in the middle of night without a word. Why he left you without saying anything. You understood the circumstances, and you didn't hold it against him. You couldn't hold that against him. But… But you two told each other everything. Or at least you thought you did.

Which leads you to where you are now. Sitting anxiously across from Kurama the night before the semi finals. He'd already had one close call with death. You didn't think you could take it if he had another.

Kurama didn't like you being here as it was. Going as far as to scold you after his first match for following him. Seeing you cry after his fight with Touya didn't help your case either. You figured his concern was purely out of obligation. Not wanting to be responsible if you somehow got hurt.

Oblivious to the warm gazes directed at you when you weren't looking. The way he searched for you in the stands before every match. How he always offered you his hand when you'd go out. You were probably the only person he let get close enough to tend to his wounds.

It wasn't like he ever hid his soft spot for you. If anyone took the time to analyze his actions, it was easy to tell he cared quite a lot about you. More than a friend should.

“You're awfully quiet.” He spoke, snapping you from your thoughts.

“I'm just…” You didn't know how exactly to explain what you were feeling. To put your overwhelmed senses into words.

Truth was you were terrified. Terrified for Shuichi and terrified for his friends. You were terrified of waking up tomorrow and him not coming back to you.

“Worried.” you settled on.

He gave a thoughtful hum before scooting closer to you. You could feel the warmth radiating off of his skin. The sweet smell of roses accompanying it. Your relationship with the redhead had always been touchy. Never shying away from affection towards one another. So you hardly minded when he moved to cup your cheek. Guiding your gaze to meet his.

“We'll win. Just one more match until we're in the finals.”

So sure, he sounded so sure that you couldn't help but believe him. Emerald eyes filled with determination. You used to joke that he was hypnotizing you with them. So pretty that you couldn't focus on anything else except him. The theory seemed more plausible now that you knew he wasn't exactly human.

“And then we can go home,” he promised.

But you still had your doubts.

“Yeah? Yusuke and the ‘masked fighter’ still aren't back. And the enemies just keep getting stronger.”

The hurdles just keep getting bigger, and you didn't think the four of them could keep up anymore. Too much had been thrown at them.

“Can you really win like this?”

You could see the conflict brewing behind his eyes. Try as he might, Kurama could never hide his emotions from you. You knew the answer before he said it.

“We have to.” Careful, always so careful with his choice of words. Not promising you a for sure victory, but reaffirming what you already knew. You knew what he wanted to say…But you also knew he couldn't admit it. Not to you and not to himself.

The real answer- He doesn’t know.

“Tomorrow's a big day, let's get some rest.”

A sign the conversation had drawn to a close. You weren't in the mood to push anyways. So you followed him to his room. The both of you slipping into the same bed, with Shuichi's arms wrapping tightly around you. Most likely the last time he'd ever get to hold you.

—-----------------------------

Tomorrow came far too soon. There was still no sign of Yusuke and the masked fighter, meaning the team would be at a complete disadvantage. If you had any semblance of martial arts training, you would have volunteered to take one of their places. Though truthfully you knew you wouldn't have been able to put up much of a fight.

You slipped into your own room to get ready, mentally preparing yourself for the day. Surprisingly, there was no one in the lobby waiting. You couldn't help but wonder where the girls were. Usually all of you went to the arena together. For safety purposes, of course. Perhaps they'd already made their way there? They didn't seem like the type to get up early, but maybe just this once they'd made the effort.

Apparently you were dead wrong.

You'd searched everywhere in the stands, testing your luck and even asking a few demons if they'd seen them. No luck. You were completely on your own. It didn't help that this new stadium was 10 times bigger than the old one. No one would even notice if something happened to you here.

You really only had two two options before the match started. You could stay here, surrounded by bloodthirsty demons who were starting to eye you with drool. Or you could go down to where Shuichi and his friends were, right in front of all the action and potentially get hurt.

It was a no brainer what you’d choose. Besides, he'd never let you get hurt on his watch. And you trusted the other two with your safety when it would be his turn to fight. You didn't think they would be cruel enough to leave you wide open for injury. Or at least, Kuwabara would do his best. He'd proven he had the most humanity during this tournament.

Yeah, you were much safer near the actual fights than you were surrounded by demons. Begrudgingly, you made your way down. Dodging a few swipes directed at you before jumping over the railing. Your actions quickly catching the attention of Koto, the cat announcer.

“And who is that making their way over to Team Urameshi! Could this be their alternate fighter? Or perhaps one of their lovers~”

You cursed her for drawing attention directly towards you. Already feeling all eyes on you as you approached.

“What are you doing here?” Kurama questioned. The other two looked expectantly at you for your answer.

“I have no idea where the girls are. And I don't think it's a good idea for me to be up in that stadium by myself.”

He gave a hum, about to usher you closer to him when someone beat him to the punch.

“Well I'll protect ya, so don't worry!” Kuwabara assured. Pulling you close by your shoulders in a way that had you laughing. Unawares of the subtle way Kurama's eyes had narrowed.

“Thank you. That's very sweet.”

“Don't mention it. Nothing gets past me, so I'll let you know when to duck and cover.”

“If that's the case, they're better off in the stadium,” Hiei commented.

“What did you say, shrimp!” Kuwabara released you to get in his face. The two of them continuing to bicker while you laughed.

Your gaze caught Shuichi's and you offered an amused grin.

“Your friends seem fun. Can't believe you didn't introduce me to them sooner.”

“They’re not exactly the type you bring up in passing. And I doubt you would've believed I was associated with them,” he answered, though there was some mirth in his eyes that let you know he was teasing.

“Excuse me, I'd like to get back to the semi-finals now,” Juri, the fish announcer this time, interrupted.

It once again reminded you just where you were. What could happen if any of Kurama and his friends slipped up. You shouldn't be joking around causing a distraction. Not when lives were at stake. His life. Your anxieties only worsened when the first round begun.

Sure Hiei had managed to beat his opponent in under five minutes. But the brief second he'd disappeared made your heart stop. Unconsciously moving yourself closer to Kurama.

The second match was much worse. The burly man in front of Hiei using his sword to cut his own arm. Explaining how once his body had been exposed to a specific pain, it wouldn't affect him the next time he was hurt. It was only a matter of time before the smaller demon ran out of options. With his sword broken and his spirit energy depleted, he took a gamble.

The conclusion of the fight had felt so sudden. So brutal. Kuro Momotaro had seemingly won, his teeth piercing into Hiei's shoulder. The aftermath was a fountain of blood spraying out.

You’d flinched away at the sight, trying your best to shut out the triumphant cheers of the stadium. Only for them to go quiet as Hiei shoved the body off of him. The shape shifting demon now in pieces on the floor. Hiei was okay. And as he continued to antagonize Kuwabara, you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding.

It was easier to stomach the fights when you were with the girls. People who weren't desensitized to the carnage around them. Nobody had batted an eye down here. They all seemed used to it. Only further reminding you just how feeble and weak you were in their presence.

Hell, Hiei was practically begging for a round three despite his condition. The dice were brought out again, and you were praying to whatever God was up there it wouldn't land on Shuichi's name. You knew it wasn't fair. He needed to fight at some point. Judging by the determined expression on his face, he wanted to. But you didn't have a good feeling about this. You didn't want him to leave your side towards his potential death.

Please don't let it be him.

“Now fighting for Team Urameshi, Kurama. and for team Uraotogi, Uraurashima.”

Fuck.

You stood shakily next to Hiei and Kuwabara as Kurama stepped into the area. His opponent a young boy with a fishing pole. At least he looked easy to beat. It gave you momentary relief before both of them drew their weapons. Uraurashima’s fishing line clashing with Kurama's Rose Whip. Equally bouncing off of each other with no indication of one overpowering the other.

“They're evenly matched? Or is he not fighting for real?” You asked.

Hiei gave a bark of laughter at your observation.

“So you do know him well. Kurama's just fooling around. It's an obnoxious habit. He never creates his own strategy until he fully understands his opponent's.”

You were gonna strangle Shuichi when he was done fighting.

“Nice to know he over analyzes everything.”

You watched as they continued to have a stalemate. Though something had changed in Shuichi's expression. It was somber. Like he was contemplating something. Now was not the time for him to get distracted.

He let up on his assault along with his opponent. And right when he moved to haphazardly strike, Uraurashima dodged. Wrapping Kurama in his fishing line and pulling as hard as he could. Slicing into his skin.

You couldn't stop yourself from screaming out his name. Kuwabara instinctively pulling you behind him.

“Don't look, okay?”

Don't look? How could you not look. That was your best friend up there. No matter how badly you wanted to turn away, you couldn't. Looking on in horror as Uraurashima approached him. Surely Kurama had some other trick up his sleeve to protect himself?

But his eyes told you a different story. Frustration and anger. You don't think you've ever seen him mad before. He staggered on his feet, only for the onslaught to continue. It looked hopeless as he fled.

Your eyes widening with tears once he was cornered. There was nowhere to run. A forcefield in effect prevented him from doing so. His opponent presenting a box of some kind and opening it. Purple smoke poured out as he explained how it worked.

It would de-age Kurama. Turn him into a child where he couldn't defend himself. A cowards move. Only when the entire arena had been filled with smoke did your tears fall.

You were powerless to do anything. You couldn't help him even if you wanted to. Designated to nothing but a bystander in his fate. Your worst fear coming true.

It was silent for a moment. Complete silence as the Idun box worked its magic. Then all at once lightning struck. No, not lighting… it was a spike of spirit energy.

Your body shook as it tried to process the power around it. The force was almost strangling.

“Do you feel that, too?” Kuwabara asked before looking back at you. He visibly panicked seeing you struggle to breathe.

“Hiei! We need some help over here!”

The three eyed demon spared you a glance, giving an irritated huff as he pulled you towards him.

“Stand close to me. I should've known someone as weak as you wouldn't be able to withstand this much. Your body isn't used to this much spiritual pressure.”

He created a small barrier of his own energy around you. You took a few greedy gasps of air. Relieved to be able to breathe again. You offered a weak ‘Thanks.’ Still worried about what exactly was happening.

This power…Could it really have been Shuichi's? Or was it something else entirely? Was he even still alive?

“Where's all that weird energy coming from?” Kuwabara questioned.

Hiei only seemed to beam with pride.

“It's all Kurama. Down to the last drop.” He responded.

You wanted to start crying again. Your emotions all over the place. He was okay in there after all. Maybe he'd be able to find a way to win.

“But it feels different somehow, and a heck of a lot more powerful,” Kuwabara pointed out.

“That fool he's been fighting has turned him back into his demon form. Before he was tainted by you humans.” Hiei explained.

That caught your attention. A part of you defensive at his words.

“Tainted? It's not like we made him stay.” Like you'd ruined him with your presence.

“No, not directly. That doesn't change the fact you made him weaker. Soft.”

You wanted to question him about what he meant, but the sound of something crashing through the barrier stopped you. All at once the smoke started pouring out. The forcefield itself was destroyed. In a matter of seconds the arena was clear.

In its wake was a red demon with its neck pierced by a sword. Further away was….No. That couldn't be.

“Shuichi?”

You regretted calling out to him as soon as his name left your lips. The silver haired demon’s head snapped towards you. The pair of ears on his head seemed to twitch at your voice.

He was different, so very different from the man you knew. His demeanor felt cold. You briefly remembered what he used to be: a fox. If the ears and tail didn't already give it away. Wild and unpredictable. If your friend was in there, it sure didn't look like it.

You trembled at the intensity from his gaze. He made a gesture with his hand, as if reaching out before you felt the ground give way. You could feel yourself fall back, landing on something soft. You hardly processed yourself moving up until you were about ten feet off the ground. You realized then what you were on top of. A type of giant leaf was carrying you.

What the hell was going on? What was gonna happen to you?

You felt the leaf shift forward, and that was when you decided to call for help. For the one person who would probably know what to do.

"Hiei, help me!” You tried to reach down, but he backed away.

You let out a scream this time as the leaf rushed forward. Kuwabara tried to reach for you, but he was stopped by the three eyed demon.

“What gives!?!? Why aren't you helping them!?!”

“Fool. Don't interfere or you'll wind up dead.”

You couldn't hear them as you were pulled towards the other side of the area. Vaguely aware of Koto’s comments.

“Now this just took an interesting turn! The mystery fighter has taken interest in the human on the field! Is he perhaps looking for his next meal?”

You were at the edge of the arena shaking. It only worsened as who you assumed to be Yoko made his way towards you. Taking slow and meticulous steps. Like a predator stalking it's cornered prey.

Why you?

Why did it have to be you?

Why did you have to go and open your big fat mouth?

Maybe he wasn't satisfied with his previous fight. Wanting to take out whatever pent up aggression he had on you. A human who just so happened to be on the field. His expression hadn't changed once since he set his sights on you. Maybe he really was planning on eating you. It's not like it was against the rules.

He was halfway to you now. You could barely hear over the sound of your heartbeat in your ears.

“We'd really like to move on to the next match now, if you don't mind,” Juri said, now back to normal.

“Quiet.”

One word was all it took to have her trembling.

“Or not! Take your time.”

His voice sounded gruff. Harsher than any tone you'd heard him use. You knew Shuichi, or rather Kurama. The boy who used to give you flowers everyday after school until he got teased for it. The boy who loved his mother more than anything. The boy who you'd never known to like senseless violence. You knew he would never hurt you. Never dream of hurting you. But this…This was not him.

A quarter of the way there.

And then he was right in front of you.

This was Yoko. An infamous demon who’d committed heinous crimes. Far too many to count. Who could kill you with no more than a swipe of his hand. And he probably would. Sharp claws on the end of each fingertip. More than enough to finish you off.

You trembled on top of the giant leaf as his gaze pierced through you. His eyes didn't hold the same warmth as Shuichi's. The familiar emerald green replaced by a faded gold. They were cold. The color so light it held nothing but ice. You continued to shake in front of him. Hoping to catch a glimpse of your best friend.

“Do you fear me, sweetling?” He spoke at last.

Your words were stuck in your throat. Unable to answer him. Fearing what would happen if you didn't.

His hand started to extend out towards you. You'd flinched and closed your eyes at the sudden movement. Expecting the worst. This was it. He was gonna slash your throat. You braced yourself for the inevitable pain…but it never came.

Instead, he'd cupped your cheek. His thumb swiping away a stray tear. An action reminiscent of Shuichi. Your Shuichi.

“You shouldn't. Open your eyes and look at me.”

You could feel your trembling ease up. Was this a game? If it was, should you play along? You didn't know what to think at the moment. If you should relax in his presence or run. But there was something about the way he was cradling your face. It was gentle. So against your better judgment, you opened your eyes. Taking a deep breath as he guided your face up.

You looked into his golden irises in search of your best friend. They weren't as cold this time. Flecks of the emerald you were used to. The softness he looked at you with had returned. Or maybe it had never really left. Your shaking had stopped completely.

“Shuichi?” you called out once more. And this time he'd smiled at you. Somehow managing to get closer into your space. But you couldn't say you minded much. Your relationship had always been touchy.

“We are one in the same. Though it's a shame he hasn't staked his claim on you yet. I will not forgo the opportunity should we meet again.”

Your face scrunched in confusion at his words. Temporary moving out of his grasp.

“What do mean stake his claim?”

His expression turned amused at your question.

“Isn't it obvious? You're ours. Our precious little mate. Shuichi is hesitant to act on his feelings. But I am not.”

You felt the leaf shift down. Letting Yoko once again cup your face. This time guiding you to bump your forehead against his.

“I am yours devotedly until the end of time.”

You could feel your face burning with embarrassment. This whole time he'd liked you. Even in his purest form he was in love with you. Why had you been so scared of losing him?

Because you'd loved him too.

“Do my ears deceive me!?!? He's actually flirting with the human!?!? Well there goes my weekend.”

But this wasn't the place for that. He couldn't be distracted by you here. There was too much at stake. Maybe when this whole tournament was over, you could properly explore these feelings.

He was leaning closer to you.

Would you turn him away if he kissed you now?

You decided the tournament committee could shove it as his lips brushed over yours.

But before they could press down fully, a heavy fog engulfed him. He'd backed away from you. The silhouette of a fox appearing for a brief second. Then it vanished, into a ray of light with one last thing to say.

“Until we meet again, sweetling.”

The light had been so blinding, you had no choice but to look away. When the dust had settled, in front of you was a familiar redhead. His tail and ears completely gone. He'd retained his previous injuries. But other than that, he was fine. He stood in front of you with an unreadable expression.

“Are you kidding me!?!? After all that we didn't even get a proper kiss!!!! Where's the entertainment in that!?!”

All at once his face went red. He was almost never flustered. Then again, his feelings were just aired out to the entire stadium. Your relationship was aired out. You knew he was a private person, so this must've felt humiliating. The cooing from the audience sure as hell didn't help.

He scooped you off of the giant leaf without a word. Surprising you with how easily he picked you up. Clutching you close to him as he made his way off the arena. His face was burning, matching your expression.

“My apologies.” he said quietly.

You could do nothing but put your head between his neck and shoulder. Wanting to hide yourself from everyone's prying eyes.

“It's okay. I didn't mind. I mean, at first you scared me. But once I saw it was really you..” you trailed off.

There was a brief silence before Shuichi spoke again.

“You reciprocated Yoko’s advancements.”

“I reciprocated your advancements.” Because they were one in the same. Although it was a little amusing to see him get jealous of himself.

“I would've let you kiss me too.” you added.

He'd finally reached the end of the area and jumped down with you still in his arms.

“I plan making good on that promise once we finish up here.”

-------------------------

Me writing this: There's no need for exposition, you can just get to the main plot!"

Also me: THE ROMANCE NEEDS TO BE BELIEVABLE 😫😫😫

Also- WHY DID I MAKE THIS SO LONG 😭

Just Friends

An: Dropping this one before I watch the first episode of the live action today!!!!! Hope y'all enjoy.

"You're an idiot, you know that?" You chastised the red headed demon as you plucked another vine from his arm. Making sure to go over the injury with alcohol before wrapping it.

"Is that so?"

You met his amused expression with a glare. How this man could be so unfazed by a literal plant growing out of him, you'd never know. How he still found the energy to be cheeky was a mystery as well.

Although you knew it wasn't entirely his fault he was this injured. That damn tournament committee was partial to blame. Sabotaging Urameshi and his friends for no other reason than them being human. Betting money was another factor. Still, if Kurama hadn't been so cocky with the first demon, he wouldn't have been through hell after.

"Absolutely. You should've never fought twice in a row. Now look at you." You gestured towards the many open wounds on his chest.

"You're covered in blood. You're so damn lucky I'm studying to be a doctor." You dabbed more alcohol than you should've on a cotton ball before cleaning the scratches on his face.

A feeling of smugness when he let out a slight hiss.

"It hurts? Good. Maybe next time you'll learn to be more careful."

It was quite the sight to see. Kurama sitting obediently while you tended to his wounds. Letting you scold him without much complaint or push back. Kurama, a demon who'd lived hundreds of years with unfathomable knowledge, allowed you to call him stupid.

The most independent and arguably the most reserved, getting chewed out by a mere human.

It was funny, too. How he seemed to subtly lean into your touch. Closing his eyes while you wiped his face and releasing a content sigh when you finished. As if he were being pampered.

"You know I got injured pretty badly too. Maybe you should come clean my injuries." Yusuke called out. Though it was mostly meant to tease the fox demon.

You turned to face him at the same time Kurama's gaze hardened. A warning look directed at the spirit detective. But he could tell it wasn't really needed as you dismissed his offer.

"What am I the team doctor? I can't do all that 'magic power' stuff to heal what you've got going on." You gestured to the various brusing littered across Yusuke's body.

"You're best bet is Yukina."

"But you've got a delicate touch."

At his flirty tone you shot up from the bed and proceeded to chase him.

"I'll show you delicate!"

Kurama watched you go with a disappointed look. Missing your warmth besides him. Although he wasn't too happy with you being here, he couldn't deny being glad to have your familiar presence near him.

He had wanted to keep you far away from this. From his past that unfortunately intertwined with his present. Trying his best not to expose you to what he really was. A small part of him was still angry at Botan for bringing you here. But then again, she'd brought a prominent figure in each of his friends' lives as well. So he wasn't the only one dealing with this. He'd rather it be you than his mother wondering where he was.

Still, you were human. And a troublesome one at that. It was surprising you hadn't gotten in a brawl with a demon yet. Especially ones that were openly cheering for his demise.

You'd always been a bit protective of him. Having met as children when you defended him from being bullied for his fiery hair and oddly green eyes. Yelling and biting at the other kids until they left. Only to turn around and tell him he was gonna be your best friend from now on.

Something he thought was odd at the time. A human telling him what to do? Then again, he wasn't all that different from you in his new body. And he needed to be able to keep up appearances until he fully regained his powers. So he accepted and let you drag him where you pleased. He let you ramble about everything and nothing at the same time. He let you comfort him when his mother fell ill.

He grew to love having you in his life. Your lectures about how he shouldn't let others taunt him, even if he was fully capable of protecting himself. Though of course you didn't know that. He admired your ambition to enter the medical field so you could help the people who needed it. He looked forward to seeing your soft side that you'd only show to him after a long day.

You'd made him feel human.

Which is why he tried so hard to hide everything about his previous life from you. If you found out you'd most likely be scared or put in even more danger.

And he just couldn't risk losing you either way.

He tried cutting ties with you once, but you were a stubborn one. After what happened with Maya, he thought it was best you kept out of his life. Going as far as avoiding you. To which you responded by confronting him.

"If you don't want to be friends anymore, just tell me. Give me a straight answer instead of acting like a coward."

He was close to telling you he didn't want you around anymore, but the way you looked at him, with so much hurt and betrayal...He just couldn't find it in himself to let you go. Instead he asked you why. Why you didn't find him strange like the rest of your classmates. Why you spent so much time with him. Why it bothered you so much that he was ignoring you.

"Is that really what's bothering you? The answer should be obvious to a brainiac like you. You're important to me, Shuichi."

He realized then that you were important to him, too.

So he allowed himself to keep you around. He deserved that much for everything he's been through. Just so long as you were a part of his human life and not his demon one.

But fate had a funny way of playing things out. He should've known he couldn't keep this part of his life a secret from you forever. He just didn't expect it so suddenly.

Hearing your voice above the others shouting at him from the stands. He thought he might've been imagining it at first, but then he caught a glimpse of you from over the other demon's shoulder. The one that had threatened his mother's life with a push of a button.

He could see that you were nervous. Frustrated would have been a better word. As if you were mad he was letting himself get hurt.

You'd called him an idiot then too, after he won. Jumping down from the stadium and rushing over. Unfazed by the bloodthirsty creatures around you.

"You're such a dumbass. Making a big show out of nothing and letting that guy cut up your face. Let me see how bad it is." You scolded as you grabbed his chin and moved his head around. Inspecting the fresh slashes on his cheek.

"You're here?" He asked, still processing the fact that you were right in front of him. That somehow you managed to find your way back to him.

"Yes??? I don't think he hit you hard enough to have a concussion."

Kurama had to step away from you. All of a sudden overwhelmed because there was no way you were inspecting his injury right now. There was no way you were still treating him like nothing happened. Like he didn't just kill someone right in front of you.

"Why?" It was the only thing he could think to ask. Rendered speechless for the first time in forever.

"Why what?"

"Why are you here? How much do you know?"

How much did that troublesome reaper tell you?

"I'm here because my stupid best friend decided to get himself into trouble without telling me. Did you really think I wouldn't worry about you being gone for weeks? That I wouldn't get suspicious?" You used the sleeve of your shirt to wipe the blood off his face.

"I didn't want you involved." Came his answer. He still didn't know how much you knew. If now was the time to be completely transparent.

"Then you shouldn't have agreed to be my friend. To be honest, I'm a little hurt you didn't even bother to tell me. Let me guess, you thought I would freak out if you told me you were a demon?"

Ah, so you knew everything. Which meant so did the rest of the girls with you. He wanted to be upset at Botan's lack of ability to keep secrets, but he couldn't have been any more relieved.

"You know me almost as good as myself. Though it's surprising you're taking this so well." He allowed himself to relax in your presence. To let you continue inspecting his minor injuries.

"You really think I would care after all we've been through? For someone who's supposedly hundreds of years old, you sure are an idiot Shuichi."

"Shuichi..." He didn't know why his name sounded so foreign coming from you. Maybe a part of him expected you to call him 'Kurama' now that you knew the truth. Or perhaps he just wasn't used to hearing it when he wasn't trying to keep up appearances.

"Yeah? Do you want me to use your tough guy demon name instead? Don't wanna be embarrassed in front of your friends?" Your tone was teasing. And while he would have loved to hear his true name come from your lips, he couldn't deny liking the idea of only you having the privilege to call him Shuichi.

"No. I like it when you use my human name instead. Whatever feels natural for you."

"Alright, but you better promise not to keep any more secrets from me."

He was still cautious with you around, but it was more for your safety than anything. Though he should've been more careful with himself, too. It'd only be more stressful to you the worse he got injured. Still he couldn't promise you that he'd come out completely unscathed.

"You let that human walk all over you like the detective with his woman."

The sound of Hiei's voice brought him back to the present. Hearing the amusement that came with it at Kurama's show of obedience with you. The way he let you get after him for being careless.

"True they have a rather loud mouth, but it comes from a good place. I don't mind all that much, not when they've gone out of their way to mend my injuries. Or would you rather I go to Yukina instead?" A small jest that was made to get the three eyed demon off his back.

But Hiei knew what he was doing and wouldn't be taking the bait this time. Not when he knew he had the upper hand in this conversation.

"You'd give me the opportunity to steal your precious mate while you were distracted?" And judging by Kurama's small glare, he was right.

"... We're just friends." It sounded like he was trying to convince himself. And in a sense he was. He'd never really thought of you in that light. At least, not until recently.

"Hmm." A unimpressed noise before you stumbled in.

Smiling triumphantly after having just tousled with Yusuke and an unfortunate Kuwabara who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The grin wiped off your face seeing Kurama up and about.

"Hey! Did I say you could get up and walk?!? You've lost way too much blood to be moving around! Get your ass back to bed right now!"

"I heal at a much faster rate, remember. I should be just fine." He tried to diffuse, but you weren't having it.

"You're not getting out of this one fox boy. Go lie down or so help me Shuichi, I'll knock you out myself!"

Again you'd used his human name. Who you knew him as. And despite your crude words, he could feel his heart skip a few beats.

Friends made each other's hearts beat a little faster, right?

They sometimes shared kisses with each other during a moment of celebration.

And sometimes, maybe sometimes they thought about what life would be like to wake up next to the other every morning.

"Stay with me and I won't move a muscle."

Mood 🎧 JAYMES YOUNG - Happiest Year

"I'm really on the ropes this time I've been fighting all my life for you I never should have said goodbye But maybe that's what stupid people do"

“You are going where now?” you asked releasing your hair from the ponytail while making your way downstairs into the hallway.

Naruto’s back straightened immediately, hand clenched around the phone while Boruto froze in his spot while tying his shoes. You didn’t looked particularly threatening, in all honesty. When he first met you two years ago, Boruto received a warm smile and a handshake, your figure not menacing at all until he witnessed you scolding his father, Shikamaru and Sai, all at the same time. Shivers ran down his spine, a heavy aura surrounding you.

“I-I have to meet Sasuke.” Naruto said ending the call without another word.

“Mhm.” you nodded briefly before looking behind him with a raised eyebrow. “I surely do hope you are on your way to deliver to your mother the dress.”

“Y-yes!” Boruto jumped up straight.

“Off you go.” you said waving him off.

Swallowing hard, Boruto grabbed the beautifully wrapped up box and disappeared out the door not wanting to be his father right now. Turning your gaze back to Naruto, hand raised to brush off the Hokage cloak resting on his shoulders, your eyes met the baby blue ones that immediately caught on what you were telling them. Naruto took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

“What?!” Kurama’s voice filled the hallway as his eyes opened, bright red staring into your soul, slightly angry and threatening.

“Kurama.” you spoke calmly while raising an eyebrow at his attitude.

“Y/N!” Kurama jumped slightly through Naruto’s body as his eyes were taken over by calmness and a bit of fear.

“In 72 hours we are getting married as you probably know very well by now.” you said wiping any kind of expression off your face to accentuate the seriousness of the situation. “When him and Sasuke get together trouble tends to follow.”

“Agreed.” Kurama nodded listening closely.

“I want Naruto back without a single scratch on him and fully rested.” you followed. “By the time I show myself, the man better be showered, dressed and ready.”

“Yes, Y/N.” Kurama replied complying to every single request you had, the fox respecting you much more than anyone could ever know.

“See if you can drag that depressed boy back with you two as well.” you sighed tilting your head. “He promised me something some years ago.”

“Will do.” Kurama said with a short nod.

“Thank you.” you replied with a bright smile placing your palm on his cheek to which he also offered you a shy smile. “Can I talk to my future husband now, please?”

Kurama hummed and went back inside of Naruto as you got your man back, bright blue revealing itself yet again with a grin.

“Be safe, please.” you said wrapping your arms around him tightly.

“Don’t worry, my love.” Naruto replied placing a kiss on your forehead. “I’ll be here in 72 hours, Mrs. Uzumaki.”

“Sounds nice.” you said smiling brightly.

“Sounds perfect.” he said brushing his nose against yours.

Naruto's hand went up to cup your cheek, thumb softly caressing the skin as the bright blue of his mesmerizing eyes spilled into yours. Lips brushed carefully against each other as you were slowly pulled into a heart-melting kiss. A short cough interrupted you out of a sudden, gaze quickly shooting behind Naruto.

"Does no one know how to knock?" you asked stepping away, hands resting on your hips as your eyebrows raised in surprise.

"Sorry." Shikamaru chuckled. "The boys are waiting."

"The .." you suddenly stopped putting the pieces together. "Ah! So that is how this is going to go."

"I LOVE YOU!" Naruto jumped stealing quickly another kiss from you before darting out the door and pulling Shikamaru after him.

Laughing, you walked outside and leaned against the door to see Naruto surrounded by Shikamaru, Lee, Choji, Sai and Kiba. What you worried it was going to be some sort of last minute mission was, in fact, a bachelor trip to get Sasuke and also party. What caught your sharp eyes were a few blonde hair strands peeking from one of the trees. Stepping carefully into the front garden, you caught the attention of the men when bending to grab a rock and threw it straight at the target. When the hidden body destabilized, falling, you pulled out a kunai that perfectly aimed and nailed the small person to the three by their jacket.

"You have two options." you said raising an eyebrow while crossing your arms against the chest. "And none involve you going with your father."

"Don't call mom!" Boruto panicked immediately. "Option 2!"

"She's .." Kiba swallowed hard hiding behind Sai. " .. terrifying."

"Tell me about it." Naruto whispered as his eye twitched.

✧ ✧

"WE ARE HERE!" Ino's voice boomed downstairs and you jumped out of the bed and rushed to the stairs.

"WHY IS THE DOOR ALWAYS OPEN?" you yelled back for absolutely no reason but simply because she did it first.

"Why the hell are you not dressed?" Sakura asked raising an eyebrow.

"F-for what?" you asked confused trying to think if you forgot about something.

"Bachelorette trip!" Hanabi Huyga, the girl you always held dear since both young children, pushed in between Sakura and Ino with a wide smile.

"I should've known you were behind this." you laughed shaking your head. "Were are we going?"

"You'll see." Ino grinned. "Let's get you packed."

"And, yes, we know you have to be back in 72 hours." Sakura sighed seeing you were about to say something.

Rushing up the stairs, Hanabi pushed you away and darted into the bedroom before opening the closet. Ino grabbed a bag while Sakura went into the bathroom to pack up the make-up while you sat on the bed completely confused. A shirt and a pair of pants collided with your face with Hanabi grinning widely and you sighed. Please, let me be back in time!

✧ ✧

"This is entirely ours?" you asked in shock while walking into the Hot Springs.

"Yes." Hanabi chuckled. "The women's side anyway."

"The others are waiting!" Ino cheered grabbing your hand and pulling you after her at full speed.

Since they came to pick you up, you did not had a single second to take a deep breath and process what was happening. Hanabi, Sakura and Ino planned an entire Hot Springs bachelorette getaway because the men also did it. The competition was quite fierce as you could see from their excitement and desire to get you incredibly drunk for the night. As the four of you threw away the clothes, bodies wrapping into plushy bathrobes, the girls pushed you out the door to the springs and a loud gasp left your lungs. Ten Ten and Karui were already neck deep into the hot water, wide smiles gracing their faces as you made an appearance.

"You are unbelievable!" you chuckled shaking your head.

"Come on!" Karui cheered throwing her hands in the air and her breasts made a bouncy appearance out of the water.

"This is going to be great!" Ino said wrapping her arm around Sakura's neck and pulling them both into the water as the others laughed.

"Wait a minute .." Ten Ten said grabbing your ankle as the bathrobe fell of your body quickly. "What's that?"

"What's what?' you asked confused.

"THAT!" Karui and Ino pointed at your hip where a bright purple mark was staring right at them in all its glory.

"Hit my hip on the corner of the table." you shrugged as you kicked Ten Ten off and settled into the water.

"That's not .." Ino began to say.

"Shut up!" your voice joined it along Sakura, Ten Ten and Karui.

"Love bite." Hanabi laughed sweetly and you choked on your own saliva.

"I need a drink .." you sighed as they all laughed. "Multiple."

✧ ✧

Laughter filled the springs, glasses and bottles being clinked into the water as the night was settling in, you and your girls having the time of your lives. As per the usual rule, alcohol loosened up all the personalities present as you and Hanabi ended up hugging while drinking from each other's bottle. There were surely some photographs out there meant to be pulled out at the wedding.

"Do I hear girls laughing?" Kiba's voice was heard as if thunders broke the sky and all of you fell silent.

"The other side is literally for women, idiot." Shikamaru said, a punch being heard along with a splash into the water and you tried to muffle a laugh.

"Are you kidding me?" Hanabi asked with wide eyes. "This can't be happening."

"Oi, Sai! Where's my bottle of sake?" Naruto's voice boomed into the air.

"Oh, it's happening." you laughed not being able to hold it in and starting an entire laughing party with the girls.

"See, Kiba?" Lee asked amused. "Women."

"Naruto, good thing you brought the Hokage cloak." Kiba said as you could hear a tinge of a growl in his voice.

"Do tell." you said quietly as all of you gathered next to the wall separating the men side from the women's.

"Here's the food!" Choji cheered. "These two are mine."

"As expected." Karui nodded causing you to laugh again.

"Who would've thought that the SEVENTH HOKAGE will come here?" Kiba shouted Naruto's title for the women to hear.

"Are you really using my title to get women?" Naruto laughed. "Then you show up and what'll happen then?"

All the men started laughing along with all of you because the whole situation was absolutely amusing.

"Kiba, which one of the women scares you the most?" Sai asked calmly.

"Y/N." Kiba sighed deeply and a dark smirk took over your face.

"Think about that." Shikamaru laughed.

"Not even I would fight her." Lee sighed.

"Me neither." Sasuke's voice made an appereance.

All of you turned to Sakura that was blushing brightly, lips parted in surprise as she stared at the wall. The man hasn't been home in quite some time, your arm wrapping around her shoulders, a kiss planted or her burning cheek.

"It's not like Y/N can find out." Kiba rolled his eyes. "Naruto will be with her their entire lives. He can have a bit of fun."

"Is he trying ..?" you asked bewildered.

"Yeah." Ino sighed. "Sai said he tried this the last time as well."

"Well .." you grinned raising your index and middle finger in front of your lips so you could change your voice slightly. "Is the Seventh Hokage really there?"

"Y-yes." Naruto's strained voice could be heard as he replied to the question only to validate his presence.

"And would he present his friends to me?" you asked as the girls almost drowned trying not to laugh. "I also have a few friends over here."

Kiba kept holding his thumbs up while Naruto swallowed harder than ever with Choji shaking his head in complete disapproval. Naruto kept staring at the wall that separated them from the women’s side, knowing very well that it was not an innocent request that woman was having. However, what if it was and he was imagining things? You never got upset when women swarmed him because he was simply the Hokage, you trusted him and how much he loves you. And then .. why did he felt as if he was doing something wrong?

“Grow a pair, Naruto!” Kiba hissed while sitting on the edge of the spring as Sasuke kicked him in the back, landing into the water with a loud splash. “What was that for?!”

“You can go by yourself.” Sai suggested.

“But he is not the Hokage.” Choji chuckled while munching.

“I wonder why.” Shikamaru sighed.

“THE HOKAGE WILL BE PLEASED TO MEET YOU IN 5 MINUTES!” Kiba yelled out of complete nowhere.

Hell broke loose as Naruto sunk under the water until only his annoyed gaze could be seen, the boys jumping on Kiba while Sasuke kept his gaze on his best friend that seemed troubled. Not even along the course of his relationship with Hinata was Naruto so settled and correct when it came to certain morals. The simple thought of seeing a woman that wanted to meet the Hokage had his friend angry. Naruto was not afraid of Y/N in the true meaning of fear but only the idea of losing her for such a simple reason was beyond comprehension. Sasuke knew Y/N very well. She was not the woman to cause a scene for something so stupid as this, especially since she trusted Naruto so much. It was only Naruto wanting to never do wrong by her.

“Naruto ..” Sasuke said eyeing Kiba that was going inside to change. “What could go wrong?”

“I’ll let Kurama eat him.” Naruto growled at how uncomfortable he felt with this situation, aiding Kiba in securing a one night stand.

On the other side, the girls quickly got out of the spring and rushed inside to wrap their bodies in the designated bathrobes while laughing their heads off. Was quite visible that, except you and Sakura, the rest were a bit more drunk than needed. You two had a weird resistance to alcohol but were also slightly buzzed, just enough to make the day fun.

“You just stand here.” Kiba’s voice could be heard in the front desk area and you signaled the girls to stop.

“You can’t help it, can’t you?” Naruto sighed deeply.

“Man, what a drag!” Shikamaru groaned.

Looking at the girls, you were all listening from around the corner, Karui slapping her palms against Ino and Hanbi’s mouths to shut them up. Sakura was aggressively pointing at your legs and you frowned. Ten Ten chuckled and pulled your bathrobe slightly to the side to reveal one of the legs before pointing at the corner. You opened your mouth in surprise and a quiet laugh escaped you.

“Look!” Lee said surprised as your leg, from the half of your thigh and down, showed from behind the corner.

“Kiba ..” Naruto swallowed before a wide smile took over his face.

“See?” Kiba grinned.

“You’re dead.” Naruto laughed which caused all of you to laugh as well, him recognizing the birth mark on your ankle.

Pulling back your leg and tightening the robe around your body, all of you stepped from behind the wall and in front of them. The girls were laughing, your hands resting on the hips. Lee screamed when he saw all of you with Choji, Sai and Shikamaru laughing, Sasuke shaking his head slowly.

“Hello, boys.” you said again in the changed voice for them to see the culprit.

“W-what?” Kiba asked while gasping like a fish on dry land.

Without hesitation, Naruto rushed and pulled you up into his arms, spinning you both once, lips capturing yours in a deep kiss.

“Hey, baby.” you smiled into the kiss.

“Hey, love.” Naruto replied hugging you tightly.

As your feet touched the ground again, back against Naruto’s chest you watched the others interact, Sakura and Sasuke of an awkwardness you could not quite grasp, not the first time seeing it.

“What are you doing?” you asked seeing Kiba hiding behind Hanabi.

“Y/N, look ..” Kiba tried to say.

“Run.” you replied raising an eyebrow.

Everyone laughed as Kiba disappeared into the blink of an eye, running back into the spring where he clearly thought you wouldn’t follow.

“I like how he believes you wouldn’t go in there.” Hanabi laughed.

“Let him have that power for now.” you replied shaking your head.

“Can we return to drinking?” Ten Ten asked agitating the empty bottle she was holding, Lee's arm dangling around her shoulders.

“And eating!” Choji jumped excitedly.

“Let’s all meet up later!” Ino suggested with Sai nodding in approval.

“For dinner.” Karui said as a proposition.

“And drinks!” Hanabi followed as she high-fived Sakura.

“Meet me here after dinner.” Naruto whispered into your ear before placing a quick peck on your cheek with the others agreeing to the plans.

Nodding with a small blush, you let his hand ago as he walked back with the boys to their side while you returned with the girls.

- -

As everyone settled into their rooms, you simply felt the need to be alone before meeting up with your future husband. Slipping out of the bathrobe, you quietly went into the hot water, head resting against the stoned tiles as you watched the night sky, stars sprawled all over in their beautiful quietness. The door opened and you turned around to see Naruto in all his godly glory with a towel wrapped around his waist, muscles glistening into the lights, a loving smile adorning his lips as you could never get enough of the most gorgeous pair of blue eyes you have ever witnessed. Arms crossed under your chin on the edge of the spring, you simply stood there looking at him. Naruto let the towel fall without breaking the eye contact, walking slowly up to you before letting himself soak into the hot, relaxing water. His hand quickly found your cheek, you leaning into it with a sigh.

“Baby?” he asked watching you becoming completely vulnerable all of a sudden.

“I love you so much.” you breathed feeling a tight knot in your chest. "You're the best thing that has ever happened in my life."

"Hey!" Naruto smiled wiping off a couple of tears that escaped your eyes. "The love of my life is not allowed to cry in my arms."

"I'm sorry I left." you said wrapping your legs around his waist, hands cupping his face. "I am so, so sorry for what I did to us."

"Y/N .." Naruto whispered kissing the corners of your mouth. "You needed to breathe on your own after .. after what had happened. You didn't do anything to us, baby. It was simply life."

"Thank you." you sighed as his arms tightened their grip around your body. "For always being this understanding, exceptional, loving man."

"No, love." Naruto smiled brushing his nose against yours. "I am this man because of you entirely so .. thank YOU."

Lips collided instantly, softness gripped with hunger, love dancing its way along your tongues with feverish motions as your bodies squeezed out all the water in between. Naruto pulled you along with him until his back rested against the edge of the spring, your knees grazing slightly the stone and you hissed. His arms quickly unwrapped from around your body and went under the knees, the support provided keeping your skin protected, away from any potential bruises that might occur. Arms resting around his neck, foreheads resting against each other as you both pulled back to breathe after the heated kiss.

"I want you." Naruto's raspy voice sending shivers down your spine and electric shocks straight into your wet core. "So damn much."

"Can we .." you swallowed looking left and right. "Here?"

"You can do whatever you wish for, love." he smirked. "You're the future wife of the Seventh."

"How cocky!" you laughed shaking your head slowly.

"I am .." Naruto grinned as you felt the tip of his cock brushing your entrance under the water. " .. cocky."

And that he was. Catching him into a deep kiss, Naruto let himself push inside of your pussy slowly, the pressure of the water being pushed out having you tremble slightly as he made room for himself. Heartbeats picking up the pace, panting replacing the calmness you surrounded yourself with, Naruto groaned loudly into your mouth the moment his cock bottomed out. No matter how many times you two were doing this, he still managed to feel incredibly big every single time. The motions picked up in pace but only slightly, your back arching in pleasure at the tenderness and softness you were handled with. It was not as if you haven't made love with him by now because it happened quite a lot of times, all of that love you two had for each other consuming you completely. However, this time felt entirely different. Every water droplet rushing down your skin burned pleasurably, gliding along the hot steam that was coating your body with a sheer, silky embrace. Naruto's hands deeply embedded into the flesh of your plushy thighs, fingers digging into them with a passionate hunger that was met by the tensing of his strong muscles as he pulled you into him. One of your hands wandered up the back of his neck, fingers grasping the hair and scalp as the other pushed in between his shoulder-blades. Head falling backwards, a guttural moan rolled off your tongue, slow and balanced thrusts having his cock deeply absorbed by your pussy feeling as if tightening rather than stretching out around the throbbing length.

"I love you." you breathed into the air, eyes closed shut as every single feeling of the moment electrified you from head to toe.

"I love you more." Naruto moaned, teeth grazing the collarbone, a soft bite on it having you clench your pussy. "Fuck."

Water ripples revolved around both with Naruto's thrusts entertaining the calm waves that hit the sides of the spring. Quiet moans danced in the air, the steam intensifying with the heat of your intertwined bodies.

"Look at me." Naruto said nudging your chin with his nose, going deeper and deeper into you with each passing second and you surrendered your half-lidded eyes to him. "Forever."

"And more." you replied with parted lips in pleasure, crashing them against his.

Loving gazes melting into each other, muscles tightening with each grip, push and pull, your teeth latched on Naruto's lower lip, the sweetness of your orgasm coming quietly, waves of pleasure washing throughout your body as you let yourself go all over him, the man you loved for life and more unable to look away. Flushed skin against his, bright burning cheeks, a pair of eyes that could have even the moon and sun jealous, Naruto buried himself into you a few more times before he stilled as deeply as possible. He kissed your breasts softly, lips peppering hot and loving kisses upwards until they stumbled upon your puffy ones.

"I can't wait to marry you." Naruto said with a soft smile as his thumb caressed your lower lip.

"Me too." you smiled back feeling as if you could conquer the world right in this moment.

With Naruto by your side, you always felt that you could do everything and beyond.

✧✧

Through the open window of the room, a brush of fresh air swirled in and danced through carefully arranged hair strands, softly tickling the skin of your cheeks, calming the pale blush hugging them. Gaze embracing the village, an image of the past overlapped with the modern times you lived in, the simplicity of the place you once called home long gone. The laugh of a younger self vibrated into the room, seeing the young girl walking on the empty alleyway under the window you sat at. She was radiating with pure joy, yet to be touched by the adversity of life and what came with it, to be twisted by the sour taste of loss and pain. Pearly smile beamed into the sun, closely followed by the friends she loved the most. They were all so young, carefree and simple. A couple of tears gathered into your eyes as you indulged into the apparition the past made before you, wanting to call after her and warn the girl about what was to come but to also tell her a story. It was not one of those that had no hardships but one that would come full circle, tying up all the loose ends she was bound to leave behind. You wanted for the girl to never lose that contagious smile even if you knew that she will grow it again. To let her know that it will take 15 years for it to bloom fully.

"Hey." Ino spoke softly, fingers brushing a tear away.

"Hey." you whispered as your younger self vanished into thin air.

"We have to go." she replied intertwining her fingers with yours.

Ino guided you along a hallway that seemed infinite, a heavy wooden door residing at the end of it, one you had to pass through to meet the man you were about to spend the rest of your life with. Pressing your palm against Ino's cheek, you thanked her and turned to the door, swallowing harder than ever in your life. Doorknob caving under the pressure of your hand, you walked inside and was instantly met with the brightest pair of blue eyes that blessed your life. Holding back a gasp, Naruto's cheeks flushed bright red, lips parted as he watched you take slow steps towards him. His hand immediately caught yours when close, fearing that he will not be able to stand on his own. You have never imagined how good he could look in wedding attire, the black kimono and grey hakama conferring a certain maturity that could only come with age, on top of it, the also black haori falling loosely, settling perfectly on his broad shoulders, family crest on each side of it, staring right back at you. It was an image that made you feel as a little child in front of him, pure blush pinching your cheeks as you could not say a single word.

"Y-you're .." Naruto whispered, swallowing the knot in his throat as words threatened to fail him. ".. perfect."

"Only because of you." you replied cupping his cheek while the other hand squeezed his tightly.

"Thank you." he said with a melancholic smile.

"For?" you asked surprised.

"For allowing me to be yours." Naruto said as in between the two of you both the past and the present danced in harmony.

Before you could reply, the double doors of the grand room opened widely and Kakashi walked inside. He abruptly stopped, taking all of your presence in, the attire dressing you into a certain maturity that reminded him also of someone he once lost and loved. It dawned on him, right in that moment, that she lived through you.

"Kakashi Sensei?" Naruto asked noticing the emotions rushing into the man's eyes and he knew exactly what was happening in his mind. "Is everything alright?"

"I simply wanted to be the first to see the woman that chose me to be her father figure." Kakashi spoke softly, eyes melting into yours completely. "You are absolutely beautiful, Y/N."

"Thank you." you blushed again. "For everything."

"No." Kakashi smiled. "Thank you."

"What about me?" Naruto pouted. "Am I not beautiful?"

"I love you but .." you raised an eyebrow. ".. it's not Kakashi's first time seeing you getting married, isn't it?"

"Heh .. Well .." Naruto grinned slightly embarrassed. "It's the first time with you."

Kakashi laughed as you groaned, the entire maturity you credited Naruto with 5 minutes ago long gone. Holding hands, Kakashi left the room after congratulating you one last time and you both stared at each other with those simple, innocent, teenage like smiles you used to have when young.

"Ready to have me for the rest of your life?" you asked with a playful smile.

"Ready?" Naruto sighed wanting to kiss you right now but he knew he had to wait a bit longer. "I've waited for 15 years. Ready is an understatement."

"What are we waiting for then?" you replied pulling him by his arm as he laughed.

"God, I love you." Naruto shook his head as you both made your way towards the doors. "Y/N Uzumaki."

And just like that Naruto realized: you were no longer the one that got away.

✧✧

Breaking away from the one of the many kisses as husband and wife, wedding bands shining brightly into the sun, heartwarming smiles graced you both as you watched all the guests enjoying themselves after the ceremony ended. Through the girls fawning over you, Boruto headbutting once again with his father and Himawari running around you in excitement, your eyes searched. The smile you so carefully kept on was slowly peeling off, a certain person not catching your eyes as you hoped from start to finish. As Naruto was dragged away by the boys, a hand settled on your shoulder, squeezing lightly. Turning around, you were quickly engulfed into the intimidating, dark presence of Sasuke, features soft and tender as your eyes met his.

"You came .." you whispered relieved.

"I once made a promise, didn't I?" Sasuke asked as you both walked away from the crowd.

"It was more of a bet." you smirked. "But who counts?"

"Yet I was right once again." he replied turning to face you, stopping at the edge of the garden where no one could hear. "You always loved to be the stubborn one."

"Sasuke, you are the only one that truly knows why I left." you said shaking your head while avoiding his gaze. "Not a single soul knows we have traveled together for six years or the countless conversations we had, the bond we strengthened in that time. I had to be stubborn for my own sake and believe that I will never see this day. Otherwise, you would have been the one picking up the pieces of a completely shattered heart."

"I already picked up the pieces." Sasuke replied. "For six long years in which you healed and, somehow, managed to close a few of my own scars."

"Brokenhearted companions." you smiled meeting his gaze again.

"Not anymore." Sasuke said with the faint trace of a smile. "I promised that when this day comes I will be here to stand by you. You promised me that when this day comes that you will leave everything behind and live freely."

"One promise fulfilled." you said taking a deep breath.

"Y/N, she is not coming back." Sasuke tilted his head a bit. "You tormented yourself long enough with the death of your sister and what happened with Naruto that caused your leave. I think it's time."

"Huh?" you frowned.

"It's time to breathe." Sasuke replied placing his hand on your shoulder and squeezing lightly. "You are not alone anymore."

Eyebrows shot up in surprise, unwillingly your hand clutching the fabric on your chest, creases forming on the kimono and you swallowed the knot in your throat. He was right because you were indeed breathing freely again without the burden and guilt pressing on your shoulders as if the world fell apart. There was this deep peace nestling into your soul, heart humming knowing that you have finally made it.

"I was never alone." you whispered, tears gathering into your eyes. "I had you."

"And I you." Sasuke replied offering you that extremely rare yet beautiful smile.

"Both promises fulfilled." you smiled back placing your hand on top of his. "Thank you."

"You know I will have to leave, right?" Sasuke asked holding your gaze to emphasize that no matter what or where, he was here.

"I know." you nodded. "And it's alright."

"Thank you." he spoke so softly it took you by surprise as it has been years hearing this certain tone.

"Oi! Sasuke!" Shikamaru called with Naruto's arm around his shoulders. "Group photo!"

"You should've left earlier." you laughed pulling him by the arm.

"No." Sasuke replied following you quickly. "It's alright."

Handing him to Shikamaru, Naruto wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you into a deep kiss with everyone cheering their heads off. The first day of many more to come as his wife. God, you really did made it!

"Everything alright, love?" Naruto asked brushing his nose against you.

"Yes." you replied as you both turned around to your friends, Sasuke's gaze catching yours quickly. "Absolutely perfect."

✧✧

"Oh, God, yes!" you moaned loudly, back arching against the sheets in a perfect curvature. "NARUTO!"

"Fuck!" Naruto joined in with his own moaning hearing your voice screaming out his name. "You're amazing, baby."

Leaving right after the wedding gave you and Naruto an entire week away from absolutely everything. Shikamaru was handling all the issues back in the village with an absolute perfection, calling Naruto only twice along the week. The entire room was an absolute and undeniable mess: clothes all over the place, trays for food scattered around, a chair knocked down, some papers ripped on the desk from when you were taken on it, sheets almost tore off the bed. You and Naruto did nothing else besides eating and fucking with a bit of sleeping in between to recharge. The bed, the floor, the desk, the shower, the balcony, the hallway, the chair, you name it and you have probably fucked in or on it. The simple fact that you were now Y/N Uzumaki, his wife, the woman he has dreamed of since he could remember, had Naruto in an electrifying trance and all he wanted was to consume you completely.

"Come 'ere." Naruto growled pulling you by your thighs and you squealed.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he spun you around quickly and placed your body into his lap, back against his chest sweaty, hands grabbing from under your knees and spreading you wide open. Head falling on Naruto's shoulder, both turning to each other at the same time for a deep, pleasurable kiss as he pushed his cock into your incredibly wet pussy, going in with such ease it was astonishing. You were in absolute ecstasy being fucked in such way, Naruto adoring to see you unravel into the mirror he moved four days ago from the corner of the room and in front of the bed. Pussy stretching right before his very eyes, low growls rupturing from the back of his neck with every thrust of his merciless and delicious cock.

"My wife has the best pussy." Naruto whispered into your ear, eyes glued on the mirror where you could see his dangerous smirk and lust filled eyes.

You were simply drowning in arousal hearing those specific words mingled into such a dirty sentence, mouth agape as you watched yourself swallowing him whole, pussy sucking his cock in with fervor while wetness pooled out of you, trickling down his length and onto the floor. God, it was such a sight eyes rolled into the back of your head, moans rolling off your tongue.

"Want to see yourself cum on my cock, baby?" Naruto purred seductively.

"Yes, p-p-pleaseee .." you dragged out the words in a moan mixed into a choked out breath. "Please!!"

Naruto chuckled darkly as he let your leg go only for your hand to grab from under the knee. You weren't ready to part with the dirty scene unfolding into the mirror but the closeness of your release was closing in. His long fingers traveled along your belly before settling in between your already shaky legs. Rubbing the clit with the expertise of a highly trained Shinobi, he dared to pinch it twice harder than usual, your back arching and Naruto bit softly on your shoulder, a high-pitched moan snapping into the room. The force of your orgasm hit you with such force, you choked on your own saliva, muscles giving out completely, head falling on his shoulder with the entire body shaking from the never-ending pleasure. Nails digging into the skin under the knee, you hissed lightly as Naruto kept fucking his cock and your cum back into your oversensitive pussy. The sloppiness of his movements attracting the attention back into the mirror where you could see his mouth latched on your neck for what will be a hard bruise to cover, wanting to see your husband cumming into you with all he had and more. Under your intense gaze and flushed body, Naruto got a surge of power that sent his cock so deep you could feel it into your throat as he spilled himself completely inside. A moan and a groan later, you were both stealing quick and messy kisses from each other with Naturo's cum dripping out of your exhausted pussy.

"Are you ready for dinner?" he grinned picking you up.

"We are actually going .." you said surprised.

"Of course we are!" Naruto rolled his eyes as he settled you into the bath and turning on the water. "We have two days left."

"I can't believe you actually want to leave the room." you laughed with him sitting behind you, body in between his legs while resting against his chest.

"Look who's talking, Mrs. Fuck-me-until-I-can't-walk Uzumaki." he replied cupping your breasts, Naruto's way of relaxing when tired or needy. "And, yes, you said that."

"I remember!" you rolled your eyes, throwing your arms back around his neck while the water surrounded your bodies. "Quite clearly."

Naruto laughed placing a kiss on top of your head as you relaxed into him with a smile.

✧✧

"Remember when your clones turned on you?" you asked laughing as your glasses were refilled. "They had every right."

"What?" Naruto raised an eyebrow. "They tied me up."

"Because you had the talent of not listening to absolutely anything anyone was telling you." you shook your head while adjusting the strap of the dress that threatened to fall. "Your clones are awfully nice and deserved much more from you."

"Nice, huh?" Naruto grinned. "Especially when they .."

"Naruto!" you hissed pointing your chopstick at him. "Stop it. People can hear!"

"And?" Naruto laughed raising his tone slightly. "My wife enjoys being fu .."

"That's it!" you growled as you heel stabbed his foot, the shoes not providing much cover.

"Baby!" Naruto cried red in the face from the pain. "I was joking!"

The surge of annoyance and embarrassment sent a shockwave throughout your body and, for a few seconds, your vision went completely pitch black. Leaning into the chair, droplets of sweat formed into the hairline at an alarming speed.

"Love?" Naruto asked frowning slightly.

"I-I'm alright." you said through uneven breaths and nausea. "It's just .. Can we go to the room, please?"

Shivers ran down your spine, goosebumps filling up your skin and vomit pooled into your throat. The nausea was absolutely unbearable as you pushed yourself up, coughing up slightly in the process and Naruto immediately rushed to your side, arms wrapping around your body.

"Hey! Hey!" Naruto spoke rapidly as you lost balance. "Water."

"No, no." you shook your head as you took a step forward. "I will throw up."

"Tell me what is wrong." Naruto pleaded seeing the struggle you were putting up with to leave the restaurant.

"S-something is wrong .. really wrong" you tried to explain but the realization of the fact that you were about to lose consciousness hit you. "Sakura."

The woman you trusted the most with anything that was tied to Medicine, including your life. Vision blurry to the point you could not see Naruto anymore, blackness washing over your eyes, weakness shattering your body completely and a wave of hotness punched you out of reality completely. The last thing remembered clearly being a searing pain into your belly that spread into the stomach and in between you legs. Complete black out.

✧✧

Never in his entire life has Naruto felt more scared than while pulling you out of the restaurant and heading back for the village with a speed provided by Kurama himself. He could feel uneven heartbeats separated by a short stop from time to time, erratic breathing as if your entire body and mind were in turmoil. Tears ran loose on his way home, wanting to get it out of his system in order to be strong when he'll hand you over to Sakura. Every single second of the past week was thoroughly analyzed by him and Kurama, looking for a moment, a reason for why this happened. The problem was that there was absolutely nothing.

"SAKURA! Naruto yelled bursting through the doors of the hospital startling every single soul in the waiting area.

"She is in surgery, Lord Seventh." a nurse rushed immediately to his side.

"I need her, NOW!" Naruto spoke frantically. "Her pulse is extremely weak, please."

"Naruto?" Shizune asked before realizing who he was holding and ran along the hallway. "Y/N! What happened?"

"I-I don't know." Naruto swallowed. "She fainted."

"Come with me." Shizune said rushing into the Medical ward with Naruto and the nurses hot on her trail. "We take her into the Hokage Suite. Prepare all the necessary equipment for an emergency check-up, a full panel of blood tests and I need an echo."

One of the nurses pushed the double doors wide open and pulled the cover off the bed as Naruto settled you on it. You were sweating excessively and choking out your breaths while the another nurse cut the dress off your body. Shizune pulled her sleeves up and placed her palms on your chest, the usual green Chakra appearing to heal you.

"Lord Seventh, may I ask you to wait outside?" one of the nurses asked seeing how he was trembling from head to toe.

"I need to be with her." Naruto whispered, fingers tugging at his shirt where the heart was beating desperately. "Please."

"Her pulse stopped!" Shizune roared intertwining her palms on your chest and pushing constantly. "GET HIM OUT, NOW!"

He did not even had the strength or will to fight, Naruto simply standing there in shock, eyes wide open, staring at the woman he loved how she stopped living right before his eyes. Being pushed outside the room, doors closing, his knees trembled before giving out and aiming for the floor. As if fate made it always in time, Naruto was caught by none other than Kakashi, Shikamaru standing tall alongside him.

"Sit down." Kakashi said calmly, placing a shocked Naruto into a comfortable chair in front of the room from where Shizune's voice could be heard booming.

"I-I can't .." Naruto breathed, body trembling. " .. not without her."

"Naruto." Shikamaru thundered. "She is strong. Breathe!"

"She's dead." Naruto hissed holding back the tears he promised he won't let out.

"Not until Shizune comes out through that door." Kakashi sighed kneeled in front of him. "Until we hear it from her, Y/N is alive."

"If my wife dies, I won't be able to recover." Naruto said meeting his exceptionally calm gaze. "She keeps me alive. She is my everything, do you understand?"

"I do." Kakashi nodded. "More than you can imagine, if you remember."

"I-I'm sorry." Naruto sighed. "It's just .. we got a second chance after all these years. A chance I'd never thought would ever come and if she leaves me before I see her old and grumpy .."

"Y/N is one of the strongest women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and calling a friend." Shikamaru said leaning against the wall of the hallway. "Even Sasuke refuses to have a confrontation with her and it's not about power. Her will, her mind are absolutely astonishing for someone that went through everything we all did and probably even more."

"Shikamaru .." Naruto whispered with a shaky voice.

"That woman loves you so much it's incredible." Shikamaru laughed quietly. "She thinks and breaths YOU. If you think Y/N would simply die after you made her your wife, you're wrong. When THAT time comes, this woman will go out with a bang."

"That time is not now." Kakashi said with a soft smile.

"Thank you." Naruto said leaning into the chair. "So much."

"Naruto!" Sakura's voice filled the hallway as she ran towards the men. "I just heard. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there."

"Her heart stopped." Naruto said eyeing one of his best friends, begging her silently and with passion. "Please, Sakura .."

"We got this." Sakura replied squeezing his shoulder. "Don't worry for a second."

With that, Sakura went through the double doors into the room from where shouting was no longer heard, machines beeping faintly while everything seemed to have calmed down. Naruto felt as if he could breathe a little. You was alive.

Bright light peaked through you tired eyelids, reviving the color of your eyes with the emerald green of leaves shuffling into the warm wind. Open window gave the opportunity of various scents to bring your senses back to life, the familiar feeling of home engulfing you immediately. You were home. Eyes adjusting to the bright light and various colors, they moved around slightly until they fell on the asleep figure of your husband, sprawled into a comfy armchair, a bit of drool trickling down the corner of his mouth. A smile tugged at your lips seeing him there, knowing how worried he must have been. Judging by how well you felt, you could only give credit where credit was due and that was either Sakura or Shizune. They were the only ones absolutely capable of having you completely refreshed in no time. Pushing yourself up and throwing your legs over the edge of the bed, you bent forward slightly as your hand cupped Naruto's cheek.

"Baby?" you asked softly.

Naruto groaned and waved you off with the "5 minutes" request which had you laughing. That is when it hit him. It was undeniably your laugh, his favorite laugh and not some dream. His eyes shot wide open as he collided with your body.

"Oh God!" Naruto said relieved. "Oh my God!"

"I'm alright, baby." you chuckled into the tight hug. "Thank you for taking care of me."

"I thought I lost you." Naruto pulled back and you frowned in confusion seeing his panicked expression, tears flowing down his cheeks. "Don't ever do this to me again, my love."

Before you could ask a single question, he began showering you with enthusiastic kisses all over the face, neck, shoulders and back up to meet your lips in a long awaited, deep, loving one.

"Look who pulled through!" Kakashi chuckled pushing the double doors wide open and Naruto pulled back slightly, arms still around your waist.

"Kakashi!" you cheered turning around into your husband's arms and stretching yours out, fingers closing and opening to motion the need of a hug.

Kakashi complied and you hugged each other with Naruto still attached to you without even the slightest intention to pull away or move. He was relentless and yet his words lingered into your mind.

I thought I lost you.

"What did you mean that you thought you had lost me?" you asked out of nowhere and your keen eyes caught immediately on the way Kakashi's shoulders tensed with your husband pulling away from you as if you were burning before sitting on the bed next to you.

"You heart stopped for a minute and a half." Kakashi explained seeing Naruto could not. "Shizune brought you back and Sakura handled the rest."

"What?" you asked shocked, fingers intertwining with Naruto's and squeezing tighter than ever. "Why? How?"

"That is what I am going to explain." Sakura said walking into the room holding a clipboard. "Happy to see you well."

"Thank you, Sakura." you smiled. "You and Shizune are my guardian angels."

"As always." Sakura chuckled. "I need to speak to you and Naruto."

"Kakashi can stay." you said eyeing Kakashi. "He is family."

"Good." Sakura said sitting in a chair next to the bed while Kakashi sat next to her, Naruto pulling you into his arms as your fingers intertwined with his. "You have a history regarding heart palpitations that tend to be extreme when applying too much stress."

"Yes." you nodded. "It happened a few times since I was born. My sister had this condition as well. During the war was the peak of it."

"Back then your heart stopped four times." Sakura sighed remembering the fear you put her through. "It caused an unrepairable damage as you already know."

"She can't exhaust her strength and power anymore." Naruto nodded remembering how he was in the hospital with you after the war for check-ups. "But she didn't."

"I will ask something .. intimate .." you winced having Kakashi in the room as he just laughed. "We were away without interruptions and .."

"It's not that." Sakura chuckled. "Exhaustion probably contributed to it to be honest but .. there was something else .."

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked frowning.

"Well .." Sakura grinned and blushed slightly. "You are pregnant, Y/N."

Pushing yourself slowly off Naruto, muscles tensed as you gripped the sheets underneath, head tilting slightly while staring at the woman that saved your life as if it was the first time seeing Sakura in your entire life. Naruto's tremble sent vibrations throughout the hospital bed, his hand finding yours and he squeezed, faintly feeling it, not quite capable of grasping the news.

"Y/N?" Kakashi whispered and you quickly switched your gaze to meet his, under the mask a smile adorning his lips.

"Is this true?" you asked breathless, hand quickly finding Kakashi's and he squeezed

"It is." Sakura smiled softly. "9 weeks."

Turning slowly, your eyes met Naruto's, tears streaming down your face seeing the happiness showering his presence. He was absolutely taken with you, with the news, with the baby, hands cupping your cheeks, thumbs wiping away as many tears as they could catch.

"We did it." you whispered feeling a newfound relief washing over you.

"We did." Naruto smiled, lips pressing lovingly against yours.

"We're having a baby." you said smiling widely, the reality slowly creeping in.

"We're .." Naruto stopped abruptly, eyes running all over your face at an incredible speed, pulling back slightly and a gasp left him. "WE ARE HAVING A BABY!"

He grabbed your shoulders and shook you lightly, chest heaving with parted lips while you laughed, letting Kakashi's hand go and wrapping your arms around your husband. Naruto let out a deep breath, pulling you closer into his body, soft kisses covering your cheeks. Head resting on his shoulder, a sudden fear overcame you while remembering something that was not supposed to overshadow this amazing moment. Kakashi immediately caught on your glossy eyes, mind wandering somewhere it was not supposed to.

"SAKURA!" Naruto jumped with an impossible grin. "I AM HAVING A BABY WITH Y/N!"

"Yes, Naruto." Sakura laughed along with Kakashi. "Congratulations!"

"KAKASHI SENSEI!" Naruto turned to the man.

"You and Y/N are having a baby." Kakashi chuckled. "Congratulations!"

"Prepare yourselves." you laughed as you settled into Naruto's lap on the bed, his arms tightly wrapped around you. "This will go on for another 7 months."

"I don't want to take away your happiness but .." Sakura said standing up to pace around. " .. we need to talk."

"What happened?" you clenched your jaw expecting some kind of bad news.

"Considering your medical history, you have to know that, during a pregnancy, the amount of blood in your body increases significantly. Your heart works harder to pump the extra blood throughout your body and to your baby. This extra work can result again in heart palpitations that for you might turn extreme depending on what you do." Sakura explained rubbing her chin.

"Knowing my husband .." you said raising an eyebrow. " .. I'm lucky if I will be allowed to walk to the bathroom."

"We'll discuss it." Naruto chuckled placing a quick kiss on the top of your head.

"That is what caused the situation today." Sakura said walking back in front of the bed. "Which means that I will have to monitor you as closely as possible."

"I'll make you a key for our house." Naruto said to which Kakashi nodded.

"Also, there is a risk involved with the pregnancy." Sakura spoke as slowly as possible.

"My blood type is negative and the baby's positive, right?" you swallowed hard, a particular memory snapping into your mind. "I can't believe this."

"You know about it?" Sakura asked shocked.

"I-I do .." you replied quietly pushing yourself more into Naruto's body as he tightened his grip around you, already well aware of the situation. "Naruto's is positive, therefore resulting in an incompatibility. A baby usually inherits the father's."

"She is prone to miscarriages." Naruto said brushing his cheek against yours in reassurance.

"It already happened." Kakashi deducted putting the pieces together by studying you the entire time since finding out. "Am I right?"

"Yes." you chocked on your own words.

"What?" Sakura asked completely taken back by the revelation. "When?"

"Before I left the village." you replied with sadness.

Kakashi and Sakura simply looked in between the two of you for about a minute before realizing that the same people having a baby now were the exact same ones that went through such heartbreaking moment fifteen years ago. They both watched as Naruto placed small, soft kisses on your cheek, neck and shoulders, whispering words into your ear, soothing the fear that was slowly washing away from your face as seconds passed by. It was such a beautiful, tender moment that had Sakura and Kakashi hold their breath, seeing how two hearts were simply beating as one.

"We have some explaining to do, right?" Naruto asked scratching the back of his neck with an embarrassed smile.

"You don't have to." Kakashi shook his head as he felt his chest tightening, the simple idea that he did not know gripping painfully at his heart.

"We want to." you smiled softly.

✧✧

"Naruto, she is sleeping." Sakura sighed into the phone.

"But she sounds in pain." Naruto replied with a frown.

"Are you saying that you have never heard your wife snore?" she asked trying not to laugh.

"No, I know how my wife snores, Sakura!" Naruto said annoyed while pointing at Boruto to wash his hands. "THAT is not snoring."

"Naruto, Y/N is 7 months pregnant." Sakura tried explaining calmly. "Another human being is growing inside of her, the baby moves and the weight is pressing on the organs which causes heavy snoring. They are both healthy and happy because I visit them twice a week."

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked pinching the bridge of his nose.

"STOP WASTING MY TIME!" Sakura finally snapped and slammed the phone down, ending the call abruptly.

"You called Sakura again?" you asked while slowly making your way down the stairs.

"What are you doing?" Naruto jumped and rushed to your side.

"I AM NOT MADE OF GLASS!" you barked but leaned into him as your back hurt more than usual. "I NEED TO WALK! I NEED TO BE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING, NARUTO!"

He did not reply. Naruto knew not to say a single thing when you were all snappy and furious because you were carrying a tiny human inside. He could only imagine what it was like for you, statements such as "I would rather fight Madara and Kaguya at the same time every single day" becoming a daily treat as it amused him, and scared him, terribly.

"Tea?" Boruto asked from the kitchen as you were settled on the couch.

"Yes, please." you replied sweetly with Naruto adjusting the pillows to give comfort to your back. "Thank you. Both."

A pleasured sigh left your body accompanied by a small smile and Naruto had the sudden realization that he fell even deeper in love with you than before. You were proudly carrying his baby through pain and discomfort, rarely showing vulnerability as you still kept doing things around the house, cook and clean, even if he begged you countless times not to. He knew exactly what you have been doing since you both found out about the pregnancy: you were drowning a crippling fear. The first miscarriage you had endured 15 years ago had such an impact along with knowing the dynamic between your system and the baby's, causing moments in which he would wake up in the middle of the night to find you crying. Naruto was extremely fearful of such thing happening again, remembering very well how everything came crashing down the first time. That is how he became obsessed with how much effort you were applying on yourself, overprotectiveness taking over the moment you walked out of the hospital 5 months ago. He tried not to change, at least when you were awake, as the man would lay in bed at night and simply watch you sleep peacefully, convincing himself that you were alright, that your heart will not stop again in his arms, that the baby is alright, that you two were happy and healthy.

"I'm sorry for yelling." you sighed as Boruto handed you the mug filled with tea before sitting next to you.

"Yell as much as you want, love." Naruto smiled placing a deep kiss on your forehead. "Unfortunately, I have to go. In case of anything, Boruto you know the plan, yes?"

"Yes." Boruto replied proudly, the boy eyeing your belly with a pale blush.

"Give me your hand." you said noticing his gaze, Boruto stretching our his arm as you took it and placed his palm on your belly. "The baby is moving."

"Oh .." Boruto gasped feeling it. "OH! OH!"

"We'll be fine, baby." you smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too." Naruto replied kissing you softly.

Walking away from the couch, Naruto turned to see Boruto absolutely overcome with joy as he felt the baby kicking, you laughing as beautifully and colorful as ever. Who would've thought that, when you walked back into his life, things would turn out this way? Naruto shook his head with a smile, leaving the room and throwing the Hokage cloak over his shoulders. It took him only 15 years to achieve a dream greater than being Hokage: you.

✧✧

"What are you doing?" Boruto asked raising an eyebrow and you winced, letting the doorknob go.

"I want to see." you replied smugly. "I'm the mother."

"You and dad agreed to stay away from the room until the others finish it." Boruto sighed.

"I shouldn't have entrusted the baby's sex to our friends." you growled eyeing the door.

"Y/N, you're a few days away." Boruto chuckled. "What are those compared to 9 months?"

"Why do you make so much sense?" you asked annoyed. "You're a child."

Boruto laughed as you both stared at the door. Five months ago, you and Naruto decided to not know the sex of the baby, entrusting the secret to your friends that somehow found a way to take over the empty room in your home and prepare it as a surprise. Now, you were a few days away from birth and wanted nothing more than to pull the baby out of you as it became unbearable. Naruto was more on the edge than ever, suffocating you with care, which you adored but at the same time wanted to cut his head off, fulfilling any of your outlandish pregnancy wishes. Indeed, you couldn't have asked for a more perfect husband than him and, yet, you wanted for all of this to be over and have your body back.

"If it's a boy, you are not allowed near him." you said as Boruto helped you down the stairs.

"Why?" the boy asked shocked.

"You're stupid and stubborn." you simply replied with a smirk.

"YOU are stupid and stubborn." he scoffed.

The moment your feet touched the end of the stairs, a deep pressure engulfed your body and an instant wet discharge popped from in between your legs. Wetness trickling down your legs, panties completely soaked, you made eye contact with Boruto that had no idea if he should feel disgusted, no matter how many time either you or Hinata had this conversation with him since he found himself in your presence more than the rest, or start hyperventilating.

"Hima!" you called out calmly. "Can you come here, please?"

"Yes!" Himawari replied, feet slapping against the wooden floor as she walked into the hallway, wide eyes darting quickly at your legs that glistened from under the dress. "W-what is that?"

"Can you please call your father's office?" you asked with a smile not wanting to scare her or Boruto in any way. "No matter who answers the phone, tell them to meet me at the hospital because it's time."

"It's coming?" Boruto asked swallowing hard.

"Yes and you are the only man around." you said staring right into the pit of his soul. "I am alright but I need you with me."

"I'll get the bag." Boruto pulled himself back to reality as he was entrusted with this moment months ago in case there was no one else at home.

When Himawari finished the call, you both walked to the door as she helped you with your shoes. Bending or crouching at the moment felt as if you were going to give birth right there and then, choosing to let the kids help you as best as they could. Boruto returned with your hospital bag, knowing everything was in there as he heard you checking it last night three times.

"Hima, I need you to stay here." you instructed. "Call the hospital and tell them I am on my way and then call your mother."

"Take care, please." Himawari said hugging you softly and placing a quick kiss on your belly, contractions building up slowly.

"Ready?" Boruto asked intertwining your fingers with his.

"Ready." you replied trying to not panic over the fact that soon you were going to push a baby out of you, the child you and Naruto made.

Praising your husband for picking a house close to the hospital, you and Boruto walked slowly towards it. The boy was watching your every single move, every gesture, every wince or tensed muscle and he had no idea how proud you were of him. As time passed, you managed to develop a bond with Boruto that no one could believe it had happened. He chose to mature a bit faster than normal to be capable of taking care of you in a moment such as this one, knowing that he might be the one alone at home with you. Boruto owed you more than you could ever think, restoring the relationship between him and his father with a grace and patience no one had before.

"Mrs. Uzumaki!" a nurse jumped from behind the desk as Boruto held the door open for you.

"Did my sister called?" Boruto asked placing his small hand on your lower back for comfort which you appreciated deeply.

"Yes." the nurse replied wrapping her arm around your waist. "Right this way. How are you feeling?"

"I want to pull the baby out with my bare hands." you hissed feeling a sharp pain in your belly.

"Understandable." the nurse said eyeing Boruto as they both smiled.

"Are you aware of my situation?" you asked squeezing the boy's arm a bit too tightly and he clenched his jaw. "Sorry."

"I can handle it." he replied, admiration falling upon him as he watched you handling a pain he was not capable of understanding.

"Yes, I am aware." the nurse replied taking you through a separate corridor. "I was specially assigned to you."

"Y/N! Boruto!" Sakura called coming out from the room that already had your name written next to the double doors.

"I need to say something to you." you said stopping in front of the room. "Listen to me carefully, Haruno. If something goes wrong during birth, I need you to promise me that the baby comes first."

"Y/N .." Sakura's tone turned into a threatening one. "Nothing will go wrong. In case of anything, you both come first."

"Sakura, listen to me!" you growled. "After everything that has happened, the baby comes FIRST."

"He will kill me." Sakura replied shaking her head.

"SAKURA, DAMN IT!" you snapped and a gasp left you as the contractions kept growing. "Promise me! NOW!"

In between the contractions and your panting, silence fell upon your best friend, pleading green eyes melting into yours. Boruto's hand trembled slightly into yours and you squeezed it. Sakura pondered various outcomes but did not had enough time as your knees started caving under you.

"I promise." Sakura sighed and you smiled relieved. "Take Y/N inside and make her comfortable, please. We need to perform the first exam and see the situation."

"I'll see you in a bit, kid." you grinned ruffling his hair before being taken inside your private room.

"Boruto, I need you to run." Sakura spoke calmly. "Himawari could not reach anyone because there is a very important meeting being held as we speak. He needs to be here or she will lose it. Y/N might not show it but she needs your father."

"On it." Boruto nodded straightening his back. "In case of anything .."

"Both are my priority." Sakura smiled. "Run."

With Boruto handing her your bag, he darted along the hallway and out of the hospital. Turning to enter the room, another presence made itself known and Sakura smiled.

"I had a feeling." Sakura said opening the doors.

"We cannot leave anything to chance, Sakura." Tsunade replied with a small smile following her inside. "This is the most important day of their lives."

"PULL IT OUT OR I WILL!" was the last thing heard as the doors closed behind the two.

2 years later

“Y/N!” Shikamaru said walking into the kitchen where you were with some of the girls. “Glasses?”

“Top shelf.” you replied. “Is Naruto still alive?”

“What can I say is that you’ll probably have a very interesting night.” Shikamaru smirked as you knew quite well how rapidly the sake bottles were disappearing.

“Oh, shut up.” you blushed letting a chuckle escape you.

“BORUTO!” Sarada yelled annoyed.

“What now?” Hinata sighed standing up from the couch and leaving the room along with Shikamaru.

“I heard Sasuke is coming next week.” you said carrying two wine bottles to the table.

“Oh, yes.” Sakura nodded. “Every two weeks he comes home to train Sarada.”

“That’s an improvement.” Ino said clapping lazily.

“Don’t be nasty.” you shook your head. “We should head out back as well.”

“I’ll help with the desert.” Sakura said rushing to the kitchen. “Ino, can you take some small plates?"

"I'll be out in a second as well." you replied turning on the faucet to wash the last remaining dishes.

As the girls left, Naruto walked inside slightly reddish in the face from the alcohol and he leaned against the fridge watching you. Hair tied in a loose ponytail, strands framing your face beautifully, a small smile gracing those lips he could never get enough of. He loved how at peace you could be on your own, always humming one of your favorite songs while swaying your hips slowly, enjoying every note that danced into the silence. Every single time Naruto looked at you it felt as if it was that faithful day in which you walked into his office, heart almost caving under the powerful heartbeats booming into his ears, soul in perfect harmony, humming in adoration at the sight of you. Years have passed since he made you his completely, since the baby was born and since Naruto finally accepted being at peace. Walking up to you, arms sneaked around you waist as he pressed his lips against your neck.

"Hey, baby." Naruto whispered resting his cheek against yours.

"Hello, love." you replied turning slightly to kiss him. "Is everyone alright?"

"Yes, they're having fun." he answered pulling you into him even more than possible as if you were to run away. "Boruto threw cake at Shikadai and Sarada, they threw it back, got Inojin instead and Chocho ate what was left while Himawari laughs at them."

"Because that is why I made the cake." you laughed and he followed.

"Come on." Naruto said turning off the faucet and spinning your around. "I want my wife with me."

"Auntie Y/N!" Sarada screamed her lungs off as an entire commotion started in which you could hear Hinata and Sakura going off while the others laughed.

Naruto shot you a surprised look to which you frowned, both having no idea what could have happened. Pulling him by the arm after you and into the garden outside, your face dropped. Sakura and Sarada were fuming, the latter having her fingers wrapped into Boruto's golden locks, Himawari somehow ended up activating her Byakugan while Hinata held her back, Inojin and Shikadai's eyes were twitching violently with Chocho casually eating from all the deserts sprawled outside.

"Shit." Shikamaru laughed seeing your expressionless face, sign for everyone to stay back.

"Boruto?" you asked as calmly as possible. "Why are you holding little Kushina upside down?"

In all honesty? The scene was too funny to pass it by, the baby's laugh absolutely intoxicating as Boruto had his hands tightly on her waist, head dangling slightly above the ground. Naruto muffled a laugh the moment you shot him a glare that had his soul shiver. You were always the fun, warm aunt but all the children knew to stir clear when you had absolutely no display of emotions on your face. Sarada's evil laugh filled the air as she was the one calling you to get Boruto into trouble, Ino and Hinata gathering the others a few steps away from the scene.

"We tried to stop him." Shikadai muttered knowing he could also get in real trouble because of his friend.

"She likes it, see?" Boruto asked innocently as your little girl kept laughing.

"Why do you have to be such an idiot?" Inojin asked shaking his head.

"Probably from all the blood pooling into her brain as we speak." you replied flatly.

"W-what?" Boruto asked shocked.

"Put. the. baby .." you replied, a low growl escaping. ".. down."

The fire in your eyes was no joke, Boruto quickly turning Kushina in a normal position, her tiny feet touching the ground. Without a second thought, too fast for him to counter it, your fingers wrapped around the boy's ankle and he suddenly found himself in the air, upside down. Every single parent and child started laughing as the boy did not dare to move or protest. The last thing he needed was be thrown on the roof of the house. You were freakishly strong and fast.

"Mommy!" Kushina smiled widely throwing her arms in the air. "Daddy!"

"Yes, baby?" Naruto chuckled kneeling next to his little girl.

"Again!" she cheered. "Again!"

Even you couldn't hold it much longer, a laugh rolling off your lips and you dropped Boruto on the ground without a single care in the world as Hinata grabbed him by the collar, dragging him away from you and you could see the life draining out of his cheeks.

"That's Naruto's kid without a doubt." Sai commented amused making everyone laugh and you kneeled in front of Kushina as well, knees bumping against Naruto's as she was surrounded by the both of you.

"She's alright." Naruto said kissing the little one's forehead and each cheek which she always loved, an innocent giggle putting a smile on your face. "Ain't that right, baby?"

"Yes!" Kushina replied with excitement, tiny body colliding with her father's and Naruto's arms wrapped around her quickly.

Himawari came from behind, jumping on your back as she reached to ruffle Kushina's hair before wrapping her arms around you. As your husband talked with his girls, you turned to look around, almost all of your friends, some away or unable to escape their jobs, and their children gathered into the garden for Kushina's second birthday. There were these specific moments happening in your life where you could see their younger selves appearing right next to each of them, the past waving at you from time to time. Seeing all of you grown up, married and with families was something you wouldn't have believed in a million years when you met in the Academy. All so chaotic, so clueless, a bunch of idiots wanting to run around with kunai thinking you could conquer the world.

"Uhm .. Kushina?" Boruto coughed slightly and you turned to your child once again.

"Again?" Kushina asked as her eyes beamed with excitement.

"No, definitely not." he replied seeing both you and Naruto eyeing him amused.

Seeing his sister pouting, Boruto launched forward, hands cupping her face as he proceeded to soothe her with multiple kisses all over. He picked her up, tightly holding Kushina in his arms while making her laugh, one arm reaching to grab Himawari off your back. As they wandered away to Hinata, Naruto held out his hand to help you up before pulling you into his arms.

"I could never be more grateful to you." Naruto said as you watched your family and friends having the time of their lives.

"How so?" you asked pulling back slightly.

"You gave me a beautiful baby girl." he smiled softly. "And named her after my mother."

"Naruto .." you whispered. "I should be grateful to you."

"You were like coming up for fresh air." he simply shook his head slowly with deep melancholy on his face. "I was drowning and you saved me."

When words failed you, arms wrapped around Naruto's neck as you pulled him into a deep kiss that had your friends whistling and cheering with the kids almost throwing up. Through it, you thanked him deeply, love pouring out as he tightened his arms around your waist.

"Daddy!" Kushina called and you both pulled back panting slightly.

"Go." you smiled letting him go. "I love you."

"I love you more." Naruto smiled back running his thumb along your lower lip.

Watching your husband running towards Kushina that was in Sakura's arms, he picked her up, spinning around and pulling loud giggles out of such a tiny body. You stayed back, taking in every single second that was passing way too quickly, Naruto's lips colliding with Kushina's blushing cheeks, his boisterous laugh intoxicating everyone else. You and Hinata looked at each other, nodding briefly with smiles curving your lips, a silent conversation taking place between two women that loved the same man. There were no words left in between the two of you, only deep care and trust.

"Mommy!" Kushina called laughing as Naruto was throwing her in the air playfully, something she absolutely loved, asking him every single day to do it.

Walking up to them, Naruto placed her in front of you so you could kiss her plump cheeks. One of his arms wrapped around you while in the other Kushina was resting peacefully. You could see she was a bit tired from all the fun, head on her father's shoulder as he leaned his cheek against her forehead lovingly. With all of the kids slowly settling down, they gathered around the adults as you were all exchanging memories of the past, the younger ones laughing and enjoying every bit of it. Your eyes caught a glimpse of someone standing at the entrance of the garden and you tightened your grip around Naruto's waist.

Your younger self was staring right back at you, a bright, pearly smile beaming into the garden's lights. Eyes wandered from one person to the other, taking in the entire scene unraveling before her innocent eyes and your heart skipped a beat. The last time you saw your younger self was the day of the wedding when you wished you could tell her a story and how everything comes full circle. A giggle escaped her as Kushina pinched your nose and Naruto quickly went in with a peck to soothe it.

That is when you realized. There was no need to wish to tell your younger self the story as right before her very eyes, and yours, life came full circle. This was the moment she chased her entire life, the feelings she wished one day to feel.

Peace washed over your as you watched the little girl laughing with an intoxicating happiness before vanishing into thin air forever. That is how you knew that she will never come back.

This was your story now. The rest were just chapters.

And .. he was no longer the one that got away.
