***********************************
Tifa giggled as Itachi pulled her into his lap. Ever since a few days ago when he saw her spar with Tenten and the fight with DeepGround, he had become more affectionate, touching her a lot-somewhat hesitantly at first-then with more confidence and even a little aggression, often including small noises he didn't seem to know he was making, leading Tifa to guess his demon side was seriously aroused by her and being affectionate as well.
He would often, for no particular reason, pull her into his lap and just nuzzle her with his face, mostly his cheek, purring as he did. Tifa knew that cats often nuzzled their owners and or humans around them to scent-mark them, essentially telling other cats 'this is MY human' and she figured that both his arousal at seeing her in battle and his concern for her safety during that time was leading his cat to tell him to claim her, to mark her as his before something happened, but she really didn't mind.
There was a sudden sound from the doorway and she looked up in time to see Jundo walk past slowly, his steps slow and painful looking as he clutched the blanket from his bed around him tightly with one hand, the other used to hold him up against the wall.
She called his name in concern, jumping up, stroking Itachi's cheek briefly in reassurance before she headed to the clones side.
It had been three days since they had rescued the clone and baby and Tsunade and Dr Mizuki had found an way to temporarily hold off the effects of the poisonvirus. Using tissue and blood samples from Vincent they were able to prolong his life, yet assure that since it didn't contain any of Lue's that he wouldn't turn into Sephiroth-or Jenovah. However while he was no longer dying, he not only needed regular injections but was still weak from neglect, having not eaten anything other than what he could steal from DeepGround for both of them, but only enough water to keep them alive.
"Jundo you shouldn't be up, you're still recovering!" she cried out in concern, trying to guide him back to his room.
"I want to see Tenshi" he tried to stubbornly shrug her hands off, but only made himself dizzy with the fast action.
"He's fine, he's asleep in the nursery with the other three. You'll probably wake him" she tried to take his shoulders again but again he stubbornly shrugged her off and almost fainted this time "I WANT to see him. No one has let me since we arrived here."
"Because you are both sick, Jundo, you both need special care. It would just cause you stress you both don't need. We'll bring him to you once you both are well enough."
He looked at her, his expression meaning he would listen to no arguments "I want to see him. I NEED to see him."
Tifa sighed and put an arm around him, bracing him against her "alright, we'll take you to see him. But if he's still asleep you won't disturb him. He, like you, needs all the sleep and food you can get to make you healthy again."
The silverette hesitantly nodded and with Itachi in tow (incidentally watching her backside) Tifa aided the weak clone towards the nursery.
As they approached the door they heard low talking and realized someone from the group was already there, probably checking on the newborn and three of the weeks old's.
Opening the door they found Vincent and Sasuke inside talking, Sasuke nursing Grimoire while Vincent was bottle feeding Tenshi, eyes never leaving the babies face.
"Vincent?" Tifa asked softly.
The black haired demon vessel looked up at them, blinking at the clone who blinked back.
With the three together Tifa saw the definite resemblance. Vincent looked like his father, but while his build and shape was his, Vincent was more feminine and his face was softened by it. Meaning while he resembled his father, he had inherited his mother's beauty.
His red eyes was another feature from his father, a sign of Cetra blood in the line, his family once a race of Cetra warriors.
Just after first joining AVALANCHE when they found him in the mansions basement, Tifa had been determined to bring him out of his shell and befriend him. She had sat with him for hours, talking or just sitting with him in silence and eventually he had started talking back.
At first it was just things like his father and being a TURK, then as he began to trust her more he told her about Lucretcia and their relationship and her being Sephiroth's real mother and what had happened to them both with Hojo.
Years later he told her his family history through his father, how he had researched their line all the way back to when Jenovah had first arrived on Gaia. Apparently a group of Cetra were the warriors of the race and had been the ones to first fight the planet-destroying alien before Gaia herself had to trap the 'woman'.
ALL of the warriors had one distinguishing feature, red eyes.
Vincent himself being half through his father, the first to have the red eyes in generations, had been his father's pride and joy, taking as meaning despite his Wutai blood he was the first of them to be born in centuries, possibly an reincarnation.
To Tifa it had made sense, it explained his skill and the reason he joined TURK.
It also explained Sephiroth's skill in battle, it wasn't just the mako enhancing him, he was the son of the first reincarnated Cetra in generations.
It also explained why both had survived Hojo.
While Vincent may not have been an Cetra himself, any skill and experience he had had was only strengthened through his connection with Chaos.
The planets weapon inside the body of an reincarnated Cetra, wow, the demon could have just strengthened that connection to the planet.
As Tifa watched the clone drew himself up straight, shrugged off her arms and approached Vincent with the baby, stopping in front of him, looking at him proudly and his expression both stubborn and solemn.
Vincent looked back, face unreadable, still feeding the boy who Tifa saw was his spitting image except the green eyes and tiny widows peak to his hair.
Vincent's oddly slightly feminine looks were drastically emphasized by the clone, yet his masculinity was in the baby.
It was true, both the clone and the baby were half of Vincent-or rather equal halves of Sephiroth.
Vincent and the feminine clone of his son eyed each other for long moments, no one moving or speaking until finally the gunman did, placing the baby gently, bottle and all, into the others arms.
Jundo took him gently and held the bottle upright so the hungry child could continue to drink, looking down into the face for a while before he looked up and spoke gently "I am told that you are our father-Sephiroth's true father."
Vincent just nodded.
"I was also told you were killed by that bastard Hojo and turned into a weapon."
"I did" he said "your mother-REAL mother brought me back." The clone frowned "SEPHIROTH'S mother, not mine."
"YOUR mother. Sephiroth's genetics came from myself and Lue, YOU came from Sephiroth, so as you are part of him, you are part of me. My son just as Tenshi is."
The clone frowned and turned to look at Itachi "and you are my brother as well-through Chaos."
The oldest Uchiha nodded.
He then looked back at Sasuke "and you are as well?" When Sasuke nodded his frown deepened "how?"
Tifa spoke out "Sasuke's mate is one of Chaos' children-just like Itachi is as well as being Sasuke's biological brother."
"But......" the clone frowned thoughtfully, Tifa could practically see the wheels turning in his head.
"I know" she said "It's complicated. I'll explain later."
He hesitated then nodded to her, looking at Sasuke and Grimoire still asleep in his arms "so he is my....nephew?" when the wolf demon nodded the green eyes moved to the cot beside him "and she is my....niece?"
Again the nod.
"What about the other one?"
Tifa answered "that's Ryõshi, he's the son of Naruto and Sasuke's teammate and her mate."
"So not related to me-US?"
"Not in any way you mean, no. But Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura grew up together though, so in a way that makes them family."
The clone didn't speak, just turned back to the baby in his arms as he finished the bottle. With the expertise of an mother-or someone just used to handling babies-he had the baby on one shoulder, gently rubbing his back to get him to burp out any gas before hesitantly and reluctantly handing him back.
Vincent didn't move to take him.
The clone frowned "don't you want him...."
Tifa spoke "you have taken care of him all this time, Jundo, I think Vincent wants you to keep hold of him until YOU feel it safe to hand him back. You need to trust us, trust HIM and you won't fully do so unless you're ready."
After a brief hesitation the clone nodded, seating himself down on the chair beside the second cot, the baby in his arms.
Tifa frowned when she saw Vincent's reaction, one eye yellow and the other red as he moved back into the shadows, as if trying to disappear.
Was he....jealous of the clone?
Before he could fully disappear Tifa heard an snuffle and protesting whine from the twins cot, heading over to find Aeris was waking up and, as if sensing Vincent's attempt to disappear, was reaching for her grandfather, small fists reaching for him, opening and closing in her protest for him leaving.
Knowing what she wanted Tifa gently picked the baby up and brought her over to him, holding the week old towards him.
When Vincent didn't move, his two different eyes just looking at her unblinking, Aeris started to sniffle in upset. Unable to take his granddaughter being anything but content Vincent reached out hesitantly and took her into his arms.
Aeris' first action was to grab a Locke of Vincent's hair as it fell over his shoulder with his movement, gripping it tightly in her fist and looking up at him in what Tifa swore was an stubborn expression, as if telling her grandfather 'you are going nowhere'.
Itachi snorted from behind her "she obviously gets that stubborn streak from you, otuto."
"And since when has that been something bad?"
Itachi was about to tell him when Aeris reached out and took his hair as well. Tifa suppressed a laugh at this and touched the tiny fist clutching her uncles hair "good idea Aeris."
The baby looked up at her and gurgled, a big smile on her face at the other females words, as if agreeing.
Naruto came in, spoke to Sasuke for a few minutes, checked on the twins and them all and then left with his mate and son, letting Tifa and Vincent nurse the girl-for now.
After watching them go for long minutes Jundo said softly "tell me about my brothers, ALL of them."
So together Tifa and the the two males told him everything, from the day Jenovah landed, the Ten Tailed beast and the Sage Of Six Paths, the origins of the hidden villages, the legend of Chaos and Omega, everything up until this minute, leaving nothing out even though it took most the day and night and they had people come in and out to check on, change and feed the babies, (Tsunade once briefly as she checked over and gave Jundo his next injection, Shizune with food for them all obviously sent by the blonde healer) and Naruto with Sasuke joining in during feeding the twins, they soon finished the stories.
For a while the clone just sat there, nursing the sleeping baby and trying to digest all the information. Finally he looked up at them "where do I fit in in all this? What's my place?"
"You're part of Vincent's son and so Chaos' son as well, that makes you their brother-at least half."
"And as so, what is expected of me?" he asked quietly.
"Nothing."
"Nothing but be yourself, Jundo. I know you're used to people using you and expecting you to do or obey whatever you say, but part of being a family is being who you are, not what others expect of you. I know a lot of families don't do this, they see families or children as a chance to be what they couldn't or a weapon...." she looked pointedly at Itachi "but YOU'RE family wants you to be you, they want to get to know who and what exactly you are, who and what Jundo Valentine is."
"Jundo Valentine?" the clone looked stunned, looking at the crimson gunner. He nodded seriously in answer to receive an slow but stunning smile back, one of dawning joy.
He had a family, Tenshi had a family, and a name, a PROPER name, just like everyone else.
*******************************
Tifa laughed as Itachi pulled her into his lap again. They had just had dinner and briefly visited the children after checking on a sleeping Jundo, curled protectively around Tenshi.
The children seemed to realize the relationship between her and Itachi because Marlene looked at him solemnly and said "you'll protect her, make sure she is okay?" When the Uchiha heir nodded she searched his face for a few long seconds then slowly smiled "okay, she needs someone to take care of her. She's always worried about us and then forgets to take care of herself."
Later as they were walking Tifa blushed and apologized about it. "They are protective of you-as much as you are of them." Itachi said "it is understandable they worry. They know they're like us, they have the power to protect themselves, just not the training, and know you don't in the same way they can, so they worry about you in much the same way you do about them-and did before you knew about their chakra."
"I understand about all that, it's just that I've spent many years of my life dedicating myself to my fighting skills so I don't need to rely on anyone else. I vowed to always rely on my own skills to protect myself and others."
"And it shows" he spoke "however I noticed a few flaws in your taijutsu. I can help you with it" he hesitated, as if afraid of her reaction as he continued "that's if you want."
Tifa's face lit up "yes!"
The two ended up outside in the training field-the same area as before-while Itachi guided her through various moves and when they sparred he showed her where she was open or needed help and where she could improve.
When they finally relaxed an servant came to tell them dinner was served, if they were hungry.
The dinning room was full, with Rufus, Tseng and the other two TURKS, Rufus deep in conversation with his older brother, all the ninja who had come, Naruto and Sasuke talking with Vincent while Anko and Iruka nursed and bottle-feed the twins, smiling down at them and occasionally taking bites of their own meals.
The servant girl that had been getting close to the scarred teacher was watching, smiling at the picture the male she obviously admired made with an nursing baby in his arms.
Tifa could just see her picturing him nursing THEIR own children the same way.
Reeve and Shizune were smiling at each other as they talked softly and if it wasn't for the food in front of them, Tifa seriously thought that they would be holding hands right now.
Kakashi and Genesis were in a dark corner together, books out and seemed to be...well....having a competition of some sort, but since knowing him, Tifa had never seen Genesis so happy. Having someone there like Kakashi, so close to his own personality and so intelligent must be providing the red head with all the mental stimulation he needed and craved.
Tsunade and Jiriaya were deep in conversation with Godo, Rufus occasionally frowning in their direction, only to have Lazard catch his attention again.
Gaara and Killer Bee were discussing their demons, occasionally joined by a comment here and there by Naruto or Sasuke.
Tifa and Itachi sat down, gaining multiple calls of hello from others, the servants placing plates of food down in front of them and a glass of drink with it.
Tifa frowned at Naruto's dinner and leaned over to whisper to Sai next to her "why does everyone have wine except Naruto?"
He leaned back and said in his soft voice "let us just say he can't hold his liquor."
"Surely one glass won't hurt?"
"It does, just like Rock Lee. When Gai-san found out what happens when Lee touches alcohol he told him he wasn't to ever touch it. Lee is still an expert fighter when drunk, but totally unpredictable so Gai gave him these lollies with alcohol in then and told them they were 'medicine' and only use them when it's life and death."
Tifa raised an eyebrow at him "really?" and looked around them, worried "where is...."
"Tenten is with Sakura and Ryoshi, Neji is meditating and Gai has Lee out doing laps of the compound. He thought it best. They'll probably wander in later tonight for an late dinner, probably around midnight."
"What are Godo and Tsunade talking about so seriously?"
"Apparently Kasuragi-dono wants to hire us for a mission while we are here."
"What sort of mission?" Tifa frowned in concern.
"A small village just off Kasuragi-dono's land have rejected all Wutuian ways and fallen to cannibals, believing it makes them stronger eating human and monster flesh. Because of your world's dead returning to the lifestream as soon as the heart stops they've had to develop other means to get the flesh of their victims."
Tifa's face twisted "you mean they..."
The ex-assassin and spy nodded seriously "they have been kidnapping Kasuragi-dono's own warriors and shinobi and any attempt at rescue is met with deadly force. He wants to send some of us in to rescue any victims and wipe them out. The Wutain Lords have all agreed the village is to fanatic in their beliefs to allow to exist any longer."
Tifa frowned at the blonde demon fox "does Naruto know? If so why isn't he up trying to 'save' their souls?"
"We thought he'd do the same too, but when Tsunade spoke to him he said he wasn't going to."
Tifa frowned "that doesn't sound like him."
Sai nodded "so Sasuke spoke to him. He told him, and I qoute "I can understand maybe doing it religiously to your dead in order to honor them, or if your absolutely starving and have no other choice, but they are people they are kidnapping and torturing, people who have nothing to do with them, INNOCENT people. No, they are beyond redemption.""
"That's cold, especially for Naruto."
Sai nodded "Sasuke says he later figured out it was Naruto's maternal instincts."
"How so?"
"He found out one of the previous victims was one of Kasuragi dono's warriors, a father with a wife and two year old son." Tifa understood. Naruto was putting himself in the mother's shoes.
"Tsunade-hime is just finalizing the details of payment and getting details of the layout of the village. He says they don't have to worry, the women are as fanatical as the men and anyone under their teens doesn't exist, apparently they kill any children as soon as they are born, believing it weakens the strength of the village."
Tifa looked sick but nodded and turned back to her dinner.
*******************************
In the pitch blackness two figures moved silently and fast, deadly in the darkness. They moved from hut to hut, silent assassins in the night, leaving not an single life spared behind them, not a single body left from the wave of noiseless sand crawling after them, disposing of every body and drop of blood, leaving nothing but empty huts in its wake.
One hut in particular was reached, grander than the others, half-dozing guards dispatched without sound without even enough time to realize they were dead.
The hut was quickly emptied of life in the same way as the others.
The two silent figures signed to each other, approaching the secured building in the center, surrounded by guards in armor and armed.
With an single sign to the other, the first signaled to him.
The second nodded and in the exact same moment an column of sand rose behind every single guard and opened, pulling them inside so fast they had no time to call out.
Once done the sand returned to the second figure. The first figure sat, pulling a scroll from his pack and opening it.
Seconds later an tiny mouse of ink scurried inside. It searched each floor, looking for guards or threats before returning to its creator and returning to the scroll.
The first rerolled the paper and returned it to its place, signing the information to his companion who nodded.
They moved in, leaving a third unseen but older figure outside as guard.
The first level only had one guard-easily dispatched-and they were using the keys to free the prisoners with motions to be quiet. The first handed a note to one of the prisoners who read it quickly, nodding to them before motioning at some of his fellow prisoners in their own sign.
The group looked determined and motioned their fellow prisoners, surrounding the civilians as they guided them out the way the two had come to be lead to a place of safety by their third.
The next two levels were just as quick and easy until the forth level one of the prisoners grabbed the seconds arm and whispered "you've got to save him."
"Him who?" the first whispered back.
"HIM. We don't know who he is but they keep him locked up in an heavily guarded room with thick walls and door. They've been taking chunks off him for days, but he's still alive, I don't know why he should have died by now. He's their prize, he is incredibly stronger than them, stronger then even us." The man pointed down the hallway "at the end of the hall."
The two nodded and the prisoner ran off to join the others.
Once gone the two exchanged looks, stronger than Lord Godo's own ninja, that could only describe one type of person, an ninja from THEIR world.
Someone they definitely couldn't allow to fall into enemy hands.
If this person could live despite having pieces of himself carved off, he must have at least basic healing knowledge, but what ninja in his right mind would allow a weak civilian village to capture him and take chunks off him? Was he THAT weak? The prisoner said he was incredibly strong, so how could that be?
He should have used his chakra to bust out of here by now, but why hadn't he?
There was only two explanations, either they were keeping him drugged and bound, or they had something to hold over his head, like a loved one or teammate.
The two couldn't allow this to happen and once the prisoners were safely with their temporary teammate they moved to the room down the hall.
The heavily armed guards were simple to dispatch and they moved to the door cautiously, ready for any traps or alarms. Logic said even though this village spurned technology in all it's forms, the leader would do ANYTHING to contain and protect his prize.
The second sent his sand out to cover the door, seeking cracks to flow into, searching for wires or materia that would signal protection, finding some thin ones around the door and tearing it out. It then returned to him, a globe of orange materia with it that had once been embedded into the wall at the back of the room, between the wall of the building and cell.
Pocketing the materia the second nodded to the first, they now knew why the ninja hadn't escaped before being tortured. Tifa Lockheart and the red heads new....father had been teaching them about materia, it's uses and how to identify them and they knew this one was a barrier materia, the same sort DeepGround had used when they had taken Naruto weeks ago.
Slowly the first opened the door and both tensed, an injured caged ninja was unpredictable.
Nothing, nothing but breathing, one quick and pained the other slow and deep.
The two exchanged looks, TWO people, the other ninja only mentioned one.
"Perhaps it is our prisoner and the one he is protecting" the first signed "It is always possible they put them both in the room together only on opposite sides so they could force the other to watch their torture."
"And use the other to threaten the ninja" the red added, the first nodded.
They cautiously entered the room, ready for anything.
Their left was where the pained breathing came from, the occasional clink of chains signalling how he or she was bound. However they could see nothing of the figure but a large bundle under an mass of blankets.
The right had another figure bound to an cot by an chain around the delicate ankle.
A woman lay there, in her late twenties. Long dark hair framed the sleeping face and classic Wutuian features.
She wore the clothes of the village, meaning either she was one, or something had happened to mean she needed new ones.
But if she was a villager, why was she there?
The first motioned the second to the woman's stomach.
There was the unmistakable start of an bulge, she was pregnant and not far along. Remembering their information about how the village killed any children after they were born believing they made the village weak they realized either she had refused them to kill her child and was trying to protect it or they were keeping her captive in order to ensure they could control her until the time came.
It explained the ninja. They were raised believing that children were a villages future and were the most precious commodity. After all powerful children grew into powerful ninja to protect a village and bring money in.
Whoever he was, he was allowing his own mutilation in return for her and her child's safety.
Her face and body was sexy, delicate and breathtakingly beautiful despite the pregnancy and it wasn't hard to see why the ninja was protecting her.
That was of course unless the child was actually his. If she was pregnant to him, it would explain his desire to protect her and his willingness to be mutilated to protect both. He probably believed he was all alone here, to have a child, someone he could raise and teach everything, could pass on everything he had and was and who would be here, waiting, should his people find them after he died.
Any other thought was cut off as the woman stirred, moaning as she moved her bound leg as if in pain, beautiful face twisting at it as she slowly awoke.
The first moved forward, kneeling beside the cot and so he would be the first thing she saw on opening her eyes and summoned a smile.
The only trouble was while he looked friendly the smile never reached his eyes, those black depths empty of emotion.
The woman stirred again as she sensed a presence by her side, awakening abruptly and opening her eyes, throwing herself back against the wall and away before she had even registered who he was.
"Shh, it is okay. We are not here to hurt you. We have freed the other prisoners and are here to help you both."
The woman froze for long seconds before slowly and cautiously moving. She slowly reached out, touching his hitate, tracing the engraved symbol with one finger before her lips parted and she spoke. "Leaf. The Village Hidden In The Leaves. You're from Kohona aren't you" her voice was lilting, sweet, beautiful, totally innocent and pure.
"You know of Kohona?"
"Some. He told me you were allies with his home" she suddenly seemed to remember, or awake just enough to remember, she cried out in panic, trying to see around him to make sure he was still there. As she did, her hands went protectively to the lump on her stomach "Please, you have to free him! Free me! He needs me, I must go to him!" She looked from one to the other, the second standing back in the shadows of the room "I can help him, please help me!"
She looked up at the first, all pleading innocent eyes. He had never seen such guilious eyes before, such pure trust and begging and it reminded them oddly of Naruto, but purer, more innocent.
Sand covered the binding, the chain AND metal bind around her ankle. She didn't even flinch as there was the sound of metal groaning and protesting before the bang of it exploding under the huge pressure, another wave of sand protecting the young woman from flying pieces of metal.
Once the sand receded she didn't even look at them, only climbed off, running to the man's side. She reached out to touch the unconscious bundle, tears flowing down her cheeks as she sobbed "my love, please wake up. Please open your eyes, I need you, Jinjitsu needs you" she took a limp hand and placed it on the lump "see, she needs her daddy to comfort her, she's scared for you, like I am."
The two shinobi exchanged looks, the child was his, it explained his actions. It also explained the fact she was allowed to live with the baby, the villagers probably thought if they let the baby live they could eat it when it was older and the child would inherit it's father strength and power, its chakra-or mana in this world-giving them another source.
There was nothing at first, then a slight moan of pain and exhaustion as the figure fought to awake.
"That's it my love, open your eyes. You have visitors. Your people came for you, just like I told you they would."
The male voice weakly murmured something, Muzai, why was he calling her innocence? It must have been her name though because she laughed through her tears "Yes my love, it is me, wake up, I need you to wake up."
He murmured it again and moved in her cradling arms, his head and face blocked from their sight by her body.
He must have opened his eyes because she relaxed slightly and they could hear her sigh in relief "thank the gods, my love, I thought you would never awaken."
"Muzai" he rasped "how did you get free?"
"You're people came for you, my love, just like I told you they would, look" she moved slightly to the side, helping the man sit partly against her and see around her.
The first stepped into the light of the fire torch, allowing him to see his black half shirt and pants, black gloves with three fingers cut away, sword sheathed on his back, pale skin and black hair and eyes.
The man on the bed frowned at him "Leaf ninja. Who are you?"
"My name is Sai."
"I don't know you."
"I am or was Naruto Uzumaki's teammate during Sasuke's..... rebellious period. He is here. If you are Leaf ninja, you will wish to know that Lady Tsunade is here also."
The man managed to shake his head "I wasn't Leaf. I came from an allied village."
"Which one?"
"Suna, The Village Hidden In The Sands."
This caught the second's attention and he stepped forward "who were you?!"
The figures head snapped up at him and he stuttered "Kazekage? GAARA?!!"
The voice was familiar but that wasn't what caught the red heads attention, no it was that when his head snapped around not only did it fall into the light but despite the bandages around the temple and over one side of the face, he was definitely someone the red head knew and one of the few he trusted, a Suna Ninja, one of his loyal people.
His black eyes widened and his mouth parted on the name.
**********************************
Tifa and Vincent met Naruto and Sasuke at the edge of the property where the gunslinger had been patrolling the edge of the grounds and the two mates were waiting with the medical team, controlling and caring for the influx of injured people coming in from the village.
They were just about done when they felt an huge surge of manachakra and Naruto frowned in the direction of the village.
"What's wrong?" Tifa asked him.
"That's Gaara, I've never felt such fury and uncontrollable rage from him before, even during the Leaf Invasion. Something serious must have happened to make him loose control."
There was a sudden huge explosion and the ground under them shook.
"DAMN!" Naruto swore out loud, trying to keep his balance.
"Naruto!" behind them came Kankurõ with Temari on his back. Once at their sides she slid off onto her feet "we sensed a huge spike in Gaara's chakra! What's going on?"
"We don't know" he frowned, turning to look at his mate "go get Sakura, teme, I've got a feeling she'll be needed."
Sasuke nodded and ran off.
The next thing they knew two dark figures were running towards them, a figure on each back. Sai had a woman of Wutai, beautiful but sitting back slightly as not to press her stomach to his back.
Itachi had an blanket covered figure on his, limp and either asleep or unconscious. The same time the two ninja arrived, so did Sasuke with Sakura.
As the young woman was sliding from Sasuke's back and approaching them, the woman was carefully moving from Sai, joining Itachi with the man, gripping him and trying to help lay him down. Sai spoke to them "he is Suna ninja, he was being kept as a food source. The woman is his....mate and pregnant to him. When the Kazekage found out he...." he looked at Naruto "....flipped out."
Vincent frowned, "I will go."
"Me too" Naruto moved to the crimson gunman's side "Killer Bee is on his way."
Both moved to go, Naruto nodding to his mate, lips pursed and face serious.
"Lay him down so I can look" Sakura said, moving to the cat-demon's side.
Obediently he did so after giving the two Sand Siblings an intense look.
With the woman's help Itachi gently lay the man out on the grass. Sakura, all business, knelt down carefully and began to unwrap the figure.
Both siblings leaned forward over her shoulder to look.
Slowly the face was revealed.
Tifa saw bandages swabbing the top of the head and down over the left side of the face, completely covering that side. On the right two distinct red marks graced the face, from the right ear and across the cheek, curving upwards to just under the eye.
As Tifa watched both siblings eyes widened. While Kankurõ just whispered "sensei?" Temari acted more emotionally, lunging forward with a desperate scream of "BAKI-SAMA!!!!"
