Chapter 3 To anyone watching it seemed as if a group of Shinobi were escorting a beautiful woman and her child at an alarmingly fast pace through the trees. If you actually knew what was going on, you would see an effeminate male and his child being escorted through the trees at a relatively lazy pace. Naruto had a large storage scroll on his back, while Sasuke had the other – Naruto had been willing to take them both but Sasuke practically threw a fit (read, glared dangerously at anything that breathed) when Naruto had said so – while everyone else wascarryingtheir own things. Even Sasu-chan was carrying her own scroll, having stated that she wasn’t mixing her stuff with her moms. They had been traveling for quite a while by then, the sun setting once again in the horizon. They had slept at Naruto’s house the night before, all waking up to a delicious smell of breakfast. Kakashi had followed Naruto around for a short while – having hugged his once student to near suffocation when the man had woken up first and realized that he hadn’t been suffering from some taunting nightmare – before the others had woken up. Nobody missed how, unlike the previous day, Neji refrained from any unneeded comments but remained polite and courteous – it was very hard to get out of inset ways, and not only did Naruto look very feminine, but he also had a very motherly aura around him, so Nejiautomatically treated him with the respect he would bestow on any woman – unlike the day before where he had seemed almost desperately smitten with the younger man. They had left soon after the sun passed the tall trees that surrounded the clearing and had been traveling ever since; the KonohaNinwere impressed that they could keep up so easily with them without even a breather. They knew Naruto – due to kyuubi – had near endless stamina, but being a ‘housewife’ as Naruto had so teasingly called himself, for the past twelve years would sap anyone of their training; of course this is whereSasu-chan would remind them that her uncles were nin too and would never allow ether her or her mother to become inept. This had led to more questions about who these ‘ji-san’s’ were, which lead to Naruto politely smiling – it was creepy, like the Sai guy who had ‘replaced’ Naruto after the council became uptight after his disappearance – and said he’s explain it later while Sasu-chan mysteriously got sucked into the ground up to her neck and whined for ten minutes before Naruto released her. They had the feeling Sasu-chan wasn’t supposed to say anything. They were now setting up camp, expecting to be in Konoha the next day, noon at latest. The group split into small groups to do their own things and relax for the night; Lee and Gai were taking up the first respective watches, hidden on the outskirts of the group. Tenten was talking to Kakashi – who kept sending slight glares towards Sasuke who seemed to be ostracizing all of Naruto’s attention – while Sasu-chan was bouncing around and humming andNeji sat alone at the edge of the fire. Tenten left Kakashi, going to sit next to Neji. She looked at his shadowed face, noting the utterly tired and defeated look in those milky lavender eyes. “Did it help?” she asked softly, seemingly out of the blue. Neji sighed, shaking his head. “I thought… if I find someone else I could stop the pain… Ten… he hasn’t spoken to me in a month…. I was going to propose and then… he just stopped looking at me, stopped talking to me… he stopped smiling for me…” Nether noticed Sasu-chan pause a little way off, head tilted and green eyes narrowed in concentration. Tenten sighed; Neji had been going out with a guy a year younger than them for the past three years, an Aburame Shino, a quiet young man who was diligent in his work but rarely ever spoke to anyone other than Neji unless needing to. Tenten knew her team mate was deeply in love with Shino, and had turned a blind eye on his flirting with Naruto, seeing how forced it had been in the first place. “Neji… Shino might have something…. You know how the Aburame’s are… they… they…” “They are different around those the love… Shino is acting like before we became serious…” “Maybe… try… and if he says no…” the disjointed sentences, the uncertain hesitations, they were so unlike Tenten he couldn’t help but feel his heart sink. Nether noticed the glowing green eyes watching them, a curious tilt to a curious frown. They didn’t notice recognition in the eyes, nor did they notice a young girl jump to the trees, exciting the camp. Meanwhile, Sasuke sat next to Naruto, staring in wonder at his long lost friend, the difference from the once loud boy to a now beautiful man; yes, he is beautiful, strong in such a way that even that though Naruto now looked almost harmless, so sweet and at times even shy, practically radiated strength and power, the way he moved, so fluidly and at eased – he had seen it shift into something deathly when the blonde had thought his child was in danger… A daughter… Naruto was, quiet literally, a mother. Not a father, who had some woman birth his child, no, he had carried and labored through months of discomfort, and it was so obviously a delight being a parent, if watching the two Uzamaki’s go about things… And Sasu-chan… hell his best friend had named his daughter after him, when he didn’t even remember him fully… it sent warmth through his whole body, sending tingles through his blood stream and warming his heart to near burning leave. He was brought out of his thoughts when Naruto smiled shyly at him, pulling a thick sketch book from one of his seal scrolls. He held it against his chest for a moment, before holding it out to the raven. “Can you help me put names to faces? Or even faces to names?” The question confused him, but he nodded anyway; he was glad he did, the sketches of smiling, sneering, laughing, angry faces and bodies met his view, a different face or body on each page, a different name with barley done sketches on some. The first page was a drawing – it wasn’t a sketch, it was far too detailed – of him, and he was smiling. He remembered that day, it was from the valley end, where he had almost left, almost betrayed all that he knew, but Naruto had saved him, driving demonic chakra – he had told him everything, while Naruto’s body raked with sobs and agony – into the cursed seal, overloading the dirty mark, shattering the snake sennins fragmented soul. And he had smiled; after tears had burst forth, from the pain – so much pain, so gripping that it had choked him for so long – he had held Naruto, clutching at the one person who simply would not give up on him. And then… Naruto had called him brother, a murmured ‘Aniki’ while clutching at him… And he had smiled… Sasuke felt his throat close up, he hung his head as he looked at Naruto, but saw only a barest moment of recognition. “All I remember is… the smile…” Naruto looked heart broken. “I don’t remember why.” Sasuke looked sadly at his otouto, smiling softly. “You helped me.” Naruto listened, enraptured, as Sasuke spoke more than he had in years, stories running forth and Sasuke watched, just as fascinated as Naruto, as the blonde lit up and gasped at the stories of his own life… ~888~ Neji sat alone, slumped against a tree and oh so dejected, feeling like his life was fading just at the thought of losing his lover, his undeniable other half. He had been in relationships, with both men and women, but never had he felt like this for any of his past lovers; it confused him and hurt, because the man he wanted to spend the rest of his life with seemingly wanted nothing to do with him. He was pulled from his thoughts as a rustle caught his attention – he could tell it was intentional, too perfect to be anything but – and watched Sasu-chan slowly exit the tree branches above him, stopping a few feet from him and smiling widely, a large glass jar held tightly in her arms. “Hey Neji-san, I didn’t mean to, but I heard what you and Tenten-san were talking about earlier, and I know a lot about the Aburame clan, so I want to help!” With that – and a flourish of pink sparkles that had to be some sort of genjutsu – she held out the jar; inside was a beautiful butterfly. The underside of its wing was a powdery if almost dull shade of creamy brown, lined with darker streaks of ash brown. The top of the wings though were breathtaking; a deep almost black blue held the background, whilst on the upper and lower corner of both wings were bright almost shining blue centering to a pale almost blue white smudges, and between the blues were twin ragged dots of almost neon orange. Over all, it was lovely. “It’s called Hypolimnas bolina and it’s really rare in the fire nations, rare in the whole of the hidden countriesin fact seeing as they originated in the outer country by the name of New Zealand, also known as the blue moon butterflies.” Neji gave a slight chuckle, mesmerized by the slow moving wings, as if the creature was stretching. “You and Shino would get alongwell; he loves butterflies almost as much as his hive. Sasu-chan beamed before slipping away, humming softly under her breath. ~888~ The group neared Konoha, chattering amongstthemselves when Sasu-chan gave a breathless gasp. “Mama, mama, is that it?” she called out to her mother who was blushing at one of Kakashi’s antics and giggling softly. The blond looked up and gasped too, eyes swimming with remembrance and wonder. “Yeah gaki, that’s going to be our new home…” the blond breathed out, sighing as he adjusted his backpack. They seemed to slow even as they sped up, watching the two ‘new comers’ stare in wonder at the huge gates that shielded the rest of Konoha from view, two guards lazily standing at the gates and waiting for them to arrive. One of the men, a man with a bandage over his nose, called out and waved happily. “Hey guys! You took long enough!” Kakashi, who had been reading his book again eye-smiled at the pair and indicated towards Sasu-chan and Naruto. “We found a pair of little lambs lost on our way, so we helped them along.” The two chuunin snorted at the silver hared man’s comment, before staring at the indicated pair. Their eyes hardened for a moment when they looked at Sasu-chan, like the others noticing her distinctive markings, then widened and stared dumbfounded at the smiling blond, speechless. The group passed the stunned men, heading towards the Hokage tower. They were halfway there, the afternoon sun shining down on them, when a man with a small laughing child stumbled into Naruto. The man’s light brown hair was loose and covering his face as he laughed, the boy on his shoulders giggling as he held a hair tie triumphantly in his fist. “Oh sorry,” the man said, pushing his hair out of his face. “I didn’t see…. Naruto?” Wide brown eyes stared in shock into shining blue.
