The Family I've Always wanted

Twenty One

A/N: IT'S FINALLY HERE!

I awoke that morning with the feeling of Naruto's breath on my neck. He had one arm wrapped around my waist while the other one was on my belly. It was a comfortable position but I had to use the restroom. I was on the verge of making us both wet with my pee.

"Stop moving around." Naruto snuggled his face deeper into my neck.

"I have to go pee."

"Hold it."

"Naruto released me."

He grumbled under his breath before releasing me from his grasp. I kissed him gently on his cheek before walking to the bathroom. I didn't dare look in the mirror, I knew that there was going to be a scar underneath those bandages. My mom placed them on my neck last night. She said the cut wasn't as deep as she thought but it will leave a nasty scar. I still hadn't told Naruto about last night, hell I haven't told him about the chakra supplements I was taking. The thought of keeping this big of a secret away from him began to eat me alive. I knew this was the time to tell him.

I quickly did my business but I stayed in the bathroom to gather my thoughts. I didn't have time to think about what happened yesterday. I sat on the toilet to think long and hard about what Tezo told me. I tried my best to remember what he told me but I couldn't.

"Why can't I remember any of the conversations." I walked out of the bathroom 5 minutes later.

Naruto was now up, he sat near the edge of the bed with a toast in his hand. He offered me some toast from the breakfast tray that was in front of him but I politely declined.

"Your mom makes the best toast. It's so buttery." He smiled, I watched him as he stuffed his face with more toast. I loved that smile so much, I haven't seen it in a while. He had been gone for a while but now he was back. He was much happier than ever. I hated that I was going to be the one to make him unhappy.

"Do you remember what happened last night?"

"We must've had some amazing sex because I don't remember anything from yesterday." Naruto winked at me. I sat there with a blank expression before I slapped his head. Any other time I would have laughed but I wanted to be serious and he was making me smile a little.

"No you idiot, You don't remember fighting Sasuke last night."

"No, I fought teme last night?"

"Yeah, have you seen the living room?"

"No...what happened to your neck."

I touched my neck slightly, Naruto placed his hands over mine. I felt as he pulled the bandages from around my neck.

"What happened to your neck? This wasn't here yesterday." He touched my neck where the scar was. I gasped lightly as pain shot through my body.

"Don't touch it! It's still raw."

"What happened?"

"Someone cut it."

"No shit Sakura-chan right now isn't the time to joke around," Naruto growled, I removed his hands from my neck placing them in my lap. We both sat on the bed facing each other.

"I'm not joking. While you were knocked out a man came in here and sliced my neck." I couldn't look him in the eye...

"Who was it? Why are you so calm about a man walking in here and slicing your neck!?"

"It was the same man that killed Akane. He came here last night looking for Kato."

"Why did he cut you?"
