Title: Children of Darkness
Author: Dying Dreams

Fandom: Naruto

Feedback: Feedback is always welcome!
Yukiko: Psh. Sasuke you're an idiot.

Sasuke: I am not!

Yukiko: Yeah you are. You should have followed one of my suggestions.

Dream: I concur. I bet it would have worked.

Sasuke: You're both conspiring against me. I just know it.

Dream: -Looks at Yukiko, then at Sasuke before shrugging- Yeah probably, but there's not much you can do about it now is there.

Sasuke: -Glares-

Naruto: Leave Sasuke-teme alone! -Clings to Sasuke-

Dream: No way. o.o He's easy to piss off and makes for great entertainment when we get bored. Right Yuki?

Yukiko: Right. And it's harder pissing off Itachi so I'll settle for you.

Sasuke: I hate you both.

Itachi: I'm still confused about how you did it too. o.o

Yukiko: You know what? So am I. o. O I think only our dear authoress actually knows.

Dream: Er... no not really. Not yet anyways. o.o But... I guess if people wanna know how it happened I might be able to come up with something. -Shrugs- Should be entertaining. Enjoy. n-n
Anaheyla: Meh. I don't think a lot of people like her, but like I said she's a supporting character and she's only there to push everything along. And yes, that's exactly what it's supposed to mean. n-n
Damp: I don't remember if I mentioned it or not but they did tell him about Sasuke cause he demanded to know, and when you've got a kid as cute as him you can't resist. It's practically impossible! Dx He also knew what he looked like cause Naruto just so happens to always have a picture of him for who knows what reason -clearly never mentioned xD- and Taro just so happened to find it one night while exploring otokasan's room when he wasn't around, sneaky little bastard ain't he? o.o; As for the Itachi thing, Yukiko thrives on pissing people off -when the opportunity arises- and it's t part of the reason why she'd beat Sasuke if they ever fought. If I ever get around to it, I might try doing a side story about the whole Yukiko/Itachi incident. Just thinking about it is making me laugh.
Geminirose: Haha maybe:D
Warnings: Uh...? None?

Disclaimer: Don't own it. The only things I own are the characters and places I create myself.
Oh oh oh! Afore I forget, a special thanks to LF for agreeing to beta this for me. x3
AN Har har. I went back and fixed a few things.
Chapter 4

Yukiko sighed as she watched the blond sleep. Okay so, the first encounter hadn't gone as well she would have liked it to, but it was to be expected. Three days had passed since then and since the moment they'd returned home, Naruto had yet to leave his room.
Childish little bastard, she muttered inwardly, scratching the side of her head.
Taro's reaction upon see the man had her baffled though. She knew the boy hated him, but she had never expected him to go that far. A child's hatred was a powerful thing. This was stupid, all of it. The damned Uchiha had fucked everything up like she should have expected him to do. She had hoped it would have gone better, but she should have known not to get her hopes up.
All of this would start getting ridiculous. She watched him for a few moments before she turned and left, closing the door silently behind her. She had things to do today.
Two days ago, she had spoken with a man named Umino Iruka. He had met with Naruto and the blond had readily agreed to let the man come over whenever Yukiko needed him to. Today was one of those days. She knew damn well she couldn't leave the blond alone, so she had spoken with Iruka and asked the man to come stay with the blond while she and Taro were out.
She found it amusing, and rather convenient that the blond easily accepted the chunin back into his life so readily. Iruka had told her that he had visited the blond while he was hiding with Tsunade, and that when the blond had left he had tried to go after them, but the Hokage had forbade him from going, saying it was the blonde's wish to go away for awhile. Naruto knew as much now so it was easy to see why he accepted him, despite the fact that the man was a big part of Naruto's life even before. The man was important to the blond.
She padded silently down the hall and pushed open the door to Taro's room, watching as the child played with a toy she'd gotten for him.
�Taro-chan,� she said softly. �It's time to go.�
The three-year-old looked at her before nodding and getting to his feet, putting the toy into a small wooden box before coming to her. He held out his arms as she bent and lifted him, settling the child against her hip. She smiled softly, running a hand gently over his soft black hair.
She paused as she turned, hearing a knock at the front door. She smiled inwardly as she made her way down the stairs to let the man in.
�Good morning, Iruka-san,� she said, unlocking and opening the door, smiling at the brunette.
�Good morning, Yukiko-san,� he replied, smiling at her.
�He's asleep right now. Second door on the left at the top of the stairs,� she said, stepping aside to let the man in.
Iruka nodded. �Anything I should know?�
�Aside from him not speaking, no. But please, do not let anyone in to see him. He's still not really over what happened a few days ago.�
Iruka nodded again. �I understand.�
�If you two get hungry, I've already prepared something, so you'll just have to warm it up before you eat it.�
�Alright. When can I expect you back?�
�Ah, I don't know. I have a lot to do today, so I'm not really sure.�
Iruka nodded. �Alright. I'll see you later then.�
�Bye, Iruka-sensei!� Taro said happily, smiling at the man.
Iruka smiled warmly at the child. �See ya later,� he replied as Yukiko waved slightly and pulled the door shut behind them as they left the house.
�Are we gonna see baa-chan?� Taro asked curiously, staring openly at oba-san.
�Of course.�
�And then what?�
�And then... other things.�
�Such as?� The three-year-old pressed.
Yukiko smiled and shook her head. �It's a secret.�
The child pouted and said no more, slumping in the woman's arms.
The pair moved towards the Hokage Tower in complete silence, the child sulking over the fact that oba-san wouldn't tell him anything. He hated how adults would do that. He didn't understand why she wasn't telling him what they were doing. He knew that if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer. She wasn't like otoka-san where, if he bugged him enough, he'd spill. It was practically impossible to get answers from her sometimes. He'd just have to wait.
-
�So what brings you here today?� Tsunade asked as she watched the olive skinned woman and small child enter the room.
Yukiko smiled at the woman. �Phase One complete.�
�Oh?�
She smiled again. �Not as I'd hoped, but he's getting it. I think.�
Tsunade nodded, watching as Yukiko covered Taro's ears.
�To tell you the truth, Taro-chan here kind of messed it up though. I didn't factor in the response he made from seeing the idiot, so it all pretty much backfired. How's he doing?�
�He hasn't left the main house in three days. Haruno Sakura is the only who has gone in to make sure he's still alive.�
Yukiko nodded. �I'll be seeing him today then.�
�What? Why?�
�As much as I love this here brat, he needs to understand a few things.�
�Ah. I see what you're talking about.�
Yukiko smiled and nodded. She ignored Taro as the child tried to pry her hands away from his ears. He wanted to know what they were talking about, but all he could here was the dull murmur of their voices.
�What do you think he'll do?�
�Taro or Sasuke?�
�Either one.�
�Sasuke? Not sure. Taro? Ha,� she laughed. �Taro might attack him again. That's only if I'm not watching him though. He knows what will happen if he acts up while we're there.�
�Does he know you're going there?�
�I doubt it. But he'll know better than to try something.�
�You really are sure of yourself aren't you,� Tsunade stated, staring dully at the woman before her.
Yukiko smiled slightly and shrugged. �I haven't got much time left. You know I have to get back soon.�
�I know,� Tsunade said with a slight nod. �So what do you plan to do?�
�A few suggestions here and there, and then I'm gone. It's out of my hands once I'm gone. And I doubt I'll be able to come back anytime soon. So he'll be alone.�
�What is that supposed mean?� Tsunade said darkly, not liking the way Yukiko had said those last four words.
Yukiko looked at her. �If he's alone, he may relapse. My goal is to change things between the two for the better. The Uchiha knows what he has done, and I know he wants to fix what he destroyed, but I'm not entirely sure he can. Naruto is unwilling to talk about it, and whenever I tried to bring it up, Taro would suddenly rush into the room and jump onto Naruto. It's like he knows what I'm trying to do. Either that or he's listening at the door.�
Tsunade laughed, deciding it was the latter of the two. The child wasn't that perceptive, was he? Well, she didn't think so anyways. The child was bright and intelligent sure, but they knew he didn't fully understand what was going on with all of the adults around him. He couldn't possibly understand them.
Yukiko's hands suddenly dropped away from Taro's head and fell to the arm rests of the chair. �I think we'll be going now. I'll tell you how it turns out.�
Tsunade nodded as Yukiko rose, shifting the child back to her waist so she could hold him. Taro's small hands clutched the front of her kimono as he leaned back slightly, watching the blond woman behind the desk. He waved as Yukiko turned to go. Tsunade smiled and waved back.
�See ya gaki,� she said as Yukiko pulled open the door.
�I'm not a gaki!� Taro exclaimed as both Tsunade and Yukiko laughed.
�Goodbye, Hokage-sama,� Yukiko said, leaving the room and pulling the door shut behind her.
�Where are we going?� Taro asked as they made their way down the tower.
�You'll see gaki. You'll see.�
-
�What's he doing?� the blond asked, looking at her pink haired companion.
The other shrugged. �He's just been sitting there since he got up. It looks like he's been thinking about what to do.�
The blond nodded. �I'm still surprised he reacted that way though. Hell I'm surprised the child even did that.�
�Yeah. Say, Ino?�
�Hmm? What is it, Sakura?�
�What do you think he'll try to do next? Whatever he'd been planning the first day certainly back-fired because of the kid.�
�Well, he'll have to get around the kid to get to Naruto, right?�
�Probably.�
�This is too troublesome,� muttered a familiar voice behind them.
�Shut up, Shikamaru,� the two women said in unison, not bothering to glare at him.
�You know,� said a somewhat unfamiliar voice behind Shikamaru, �I have to agree with Nara. This is rather troublesome.�
The three turned to stare at the dark haired woman and child resting against her hip standing behind them.
�Yo,� she said, kneeling down.
�You're that woman from the other day. You were with Naruto.�
�That's right,� she replied. �Suzumiya Yukiko. Unofficial guardian of Uzumaki Naruto and Taro.�
�Why are you here?� Sakura asked, staring openly at her.
White eyes looked into green before looking away. Yukiko smiled. �I have an Uchiha to bother, if you must know.�
�What do you mean?�
Yukiko smiled and restrained the now struggling child in her arms. Taro knew something was up now. �Taro that's enough,� she chided.
�But I don't want to be here!� he whined.
�Taro. Enough,� Yukiko said, continuing to restrain him as he struggled to get away.
�What are you planning?� Ino asked.
Yukiko looked at her and shrugged. �I have a lot to do, and not a lot of time to do it.�
�What do you mean, oba-san?� Taro asked, stopping his struggles to stare at her.
Yukiko looked down at him. �It means, baby, that I have to go back home soon.�
�Are we going with you?�
�No,� she replied quickly. �It's not safe there right now.�
�Why? What's going on?� Taro asked.
Yukiko shook her head. �It's nothing you need to be worried about. You're safe in Konoha.�
�But what about otokasan? You can't just leave him here.�
Yukiko sighed and stroked his dark locks. �Otokasan won't be alone. He's got you. Gaki,� she added for effect.
Taro glared hard at her. �I'm not a gaki!�
�Yes you are.� She ignored him and turned back to the three leaf shinobi. �What's he been doing?�
�For the most, he just sits there all day. He'll eat and sleep a little, but otherwise he's just been sitting there.�
Yukiko sighed and rubbed the side of her head. �Sometimes I'm not even sure if it's worth the effort.�
�What do you mean?�
�The both of them are complete morons. The Uchiha for doing what he did, and Naruto for letting it depress him as much as it did. I understand perfectly well how he felt for seventeen years having to deal with the moronic villagers and the way they treated. I'm not saying this happened to me, but I understand where he's coming from. However, one would think he'd grown to accept those harsh words.�
�Perhaps, but from a lover wouldn't it be worse?� Shikamaru asked.
�Maybe,� Yukiko replied with a slight noncommittal shrug. �But that doesn't mean he shouldn't have understood how the Uchiha would have responded. Those two should have known everything there is to know about the other and how they would react to certain things, but I guess that's expecting a bit too much, eh?� Yukiko shrugged again.
�In any case,� she continued. �I've already said this, but I haven't got a lot of time. So if you'll excuse me.�
Yukiko rose with Taro still in her arms. No one said a word as she dropped to the ground below, making her way towards the main house. Taro grumbled but didn't struggle. He knew obasan was going to force him to see otosan, so trying to get away from her was just useless effort. She was much stronger than he was.
�Good morning, Sasuke-kun!� Yukiko said, shoving the front door open without bothering to knock like a polite person would have done.
�Sasuke-kun!� she called out, making her way towards the slight chakra signature she felt.
�Ah! There you are!� she said, stepping into a large room, sofas and chairs spread around the room. She spotted Sasuke on one of the sofas facing away from the doorway.
�Good morning.�
�Hn.�
�Oh, come now, Sasuke-kun,� she said cheerfully. �Say hello to your son.�
She smirked when Sasuke visibly tensed, his shoulders going rigid.
�Sasuke-kun,� she prodded. �Say hello.�
Slowly, Sasuke rose from the sofa, not turning just yet.
Yukiko set Taro down, whispering something into his ear as she did so. Taro grumbled and did as he was told, knowing it would be best to obey obasan. He walked away from her and moved around the sofa, standing several feet to the left of Sasuke and not moving any closer. He didn't want to do this.
�Good morning, otosan,� Taro said, bowing as he spoke. He looked up to see Sasuke staring at him, eyes wide and filled with something he didn't understand.
He watched with curiosity as the man heavily fell back into his seat. He took a cautious step forward. �Obasan, is he okay?� He asked, looking over at Yukiko as she came around the other side of the sofa.
Yukiko laughed and looked at Sasuke as he turned to stare at her. �Oh, he's perfectly alright. He just didn't expect you to greet him like that after what happened.�
Sasuke turned away and bent over his knees, burying his face in his hands. He didn't know what to do.
Over the past three days, Taro had done a lot of thinking. Despite what the adults might think, he was an exceptionally bright child. He picked up on things, given enough time of course. He knew something had to be going on between obasan and otosan, he just wasn't sure what.
�Otosan?� he said cautiously, slowly approaching the unmoving man.
�Why?� Sasuke whispered.
�Huh?� Taro said.
�Why was I such a fool?� he asked no one.
Taro stopped and looked to Yukiko who was pulling a chair towards them. She set it in front of Sasuke and sat down. She pulled his hands away and grabbed his chin; gently lifting his head so his eyes met hers.
�Listen to me,� she said softly. �I don't have a lot of time left to be here, and there's only so much I can do to help you. After this, you're on your own here.�
Sasuke didn't respond as he listened to her.
�I don't want to do this, but I have to. Once I'm gone, if you haven't made any progress, he'll be alone again, with the exception of Taro, but I'm afraid not even Taro can give him what he needs right now.�
�Obasan?� Taro asked. Confused by what was going on. �What's going on? Why are we here?�
Yukiko looked at Taro out of the corner of her eye and sighed. �Taro come here,� she said.
Taro approached her and let her lift him onto her lap. He turned blue eyes on her.
�Your oto-san knows how much of an idiot he was to do what he did to otokasan, and he wants to make things right. Understand?�
�But what if he hurts otokasan again?�
�He won't.�
�How do you know?�
�Look at him.�
Taro blinked and turned around to look at Sasuke. The look on the man's face startled him. Something there made him want to believe in him, but his mind rebelled against the very idea, telling him that the man would only hurt otokasan again. He continued to stare, and the feeling remained. He looked away when Sasuke looked down, breaking the contact.
�Do you see now?� Yukiko asked.
Taro nodded dumbly, not trusting himself to not say what was on his mind. Otosan seemed so sincere about wanting to change things, but Taro didn't know if it was right to trust him.
�Gomen,� Sasuke mumbled, almost going unheard.
�What?� Taro said, staring at him.
�Gomen nasai,� Sasuke said softly, not looking up at his son. �For everything I did... I... I wish I could take it all back. To not have said the things I did. I was scared, and it just... it all just came out before I could stop it.�
Taro slid forward off of Yukiko's lap and stepped towards him. He touched Sasuke's hand lightly and the man's head jerked up, staring at him with wide, shock-filled eyes.
�I think I get it,� Taro said.
�Get what?�
�When obasan told me about otokasan, and that he was my mom, it scared me a little at first, but I accepted it because I loved otokasan. Is that how you felt?�
Sasuke nodded dumbly. �By the time I'd realized what I'd done, he was gone, and no one would tell me anything.�
Taro looked at Yukiko, who only shrugged. �He didn't want anyone to know. It hurt him so much hearing those words coming from you, Sasuke,� she said. �He had trusted you so much, and he thought you would be happy if he told you.�
Sasuke looked away. �Deep down, I was happy. But I didn't understand it then. Something made me say those words, and I couldn't stop myself. By the time I realized what I'd done, it was to late and I couldn't do a damn thing about it.�
�Do you understand now, Taro? Why we're here?�
�Not really, but,� he paused, trying to find the words, �I think I get it. But that doesn't mean I like him or anything.�
�I'm not asking you to like him. I just don't want your otokasan to be sad anymore, and otosan's the only one that can change anything. He's the only one otokasan will ever love. Can ever love. They're more alike than you know.�
�Really?�
�Yeah. They've both known how hard it is to grow up alone with no family. Otokasan was more alone, yes, but they both know what it's like to not have anyone who truly cares about you. Well, they did, until they realized how they felt about each other.�
�Oh.�
�That reminds me, Sasuke. I should tell you sometime about the time I ran into your brother.�
�What?� Sasuke said dumbly, staring at her. �What happened?�
Yukiko smiled. �I'll tell you some other time. But, I will tell you now; it was pretty funny. Ah, but don't worry. He's still very much alive. The only fighting that occurred was on his part when he tried to run me through. Mind you, he missed by at least four feet and stabbed a poor, defenseless tree instead. Ol' shark-boy was trying to get him to calm down when we escaped.�
�I want to ask you something,� he said quietly, completely changing the subject. �It's about Naruto.�
�Hmm? What is it?�
�Is he... is he really like that? With... you know?�
Yukiko stared blankly at him before she nodded mutely. �It's true. He was born that way. None of it has anything to do with the big, bad fox.�
�I... I see.� Sasuke looked down, not trusting himself to say anything more. �I... have to see him. I want him to understand how I felt and that...�
�It won't be easy, you know,� she said when the male trailed off.
�I... I know it won't. But I have to try.�
�Otosan?� Taro said, looking up at his father.
Sasuke didn't say anything as he focused his attention on the three-year-old.
�Do you really mean it?�
Sasuke nodded mutely.
�A-and you'll help otokasan?
Sasuke nodded again.
Taro crossed his small arms over his equally small chest. �And you'll help otokasan speak again?�
Sasuke nodded a third time.
�And you won't ever hurt him again?�
�Yes,� Sasuke said finally. �I want him to be happy again.�
Taro glared at him with cold blue eyes. �You promise?�
�Yes,� he replied.
Taro didn't say anything as he turned and climbed back into Yukiko's lap. He still didn't trust him, but it would do for now.

Yukiko: Where the hell is she?

Itachi: Over there. -Points to the dancing author-

Yukiko: Oi! Stupid! Get over here!

Dream: -Ignores the OC-

Sasuke: Hey. The readers want to know what the hell was up with this chapter.

Dream: -Stops dancing to star at Sasuke- Eh? Ah fine.

Itachi: -Drags her over-

Dream: Well... As I was writing this chapter it kinda turned out opposite how I wanted it to so it's all weird now.

Yukiko: I think you're going to fast with it now though.

Dream: I know! T-T But it works out in a way that pleases me even if it's not entirely what I wanted to do. -Sighs- My brain hates me.

Itachi: I think you made her depressed.

Yukiko: Good. I wanted to torture Sasuke more and I can't now thanks to her.

Dream: -Cries- I'm sorry Yukiko!

Yukiko: -Sighs- It's fine stop crying. Everyone hates me anyways.

Dream: -Stops crying- That's not true!

Yukiko: Yeah it is. But I don't care anyways. It's not like I'm gonna be around for much longer anyways. -Walks away from them-

Naruto: Huh? Where's Yuki going?

Sasuke: -Sniggers- She's mad cause some of the readers don't like her. I don't know why she expected them to. She's an OC. She'll get over it so don't worry about it.

Itachi: When's she leaving?

Dream: Chapter six maybe?

Sasuke: How long is this story going to be anyways?

Dream: -Shrugs- I dono yet.

Sasuke: You're completely useless.

Dream: Stop now or you'll never be with Naruto again.

Sasuke: -Shuts up-

Dream: -Grins- Works every time. Please review. Lack of them is making me want to write less. Dx -Feeds off of the reviews she has right now-
