Long Live The King: The Chronicles Of Uchiha Itachi and The Uchiha Clan

Chapter 7: The Kyuubi Part Two

It had been a few months since then, Sasuke had no idea that within that time Orochimaru had attacked and destroyed the last remaining temple of Kaguya in the area near the dog demon kingdom. He also did not know that his elder brother was now missiing and their mother was now living in a cave with his newborn pups. Sasuke's only focus was on The Kyuubi as the female gendered male, now heavy in his pregnancy was preparing to give birth. Sasuke stood up and sat down in front of the laundry room door, the dark confines of which the fox had chosen to make his den. Nothing could have prepared the couple as the front door to their mansion was smashed in. Sasuke bolted upright, wordlessly leaping at the attacker only to be grabbed by his throat by a long pale arm. "You, young Uchiha, I seek your children, and if I am unable to attain them, your life.", the creature was Orochimaru but dressed in the robes of the dog demons. He threw Sasuke aside like a sack of garbage before searching around the mansion. "You bastard, what do you want with my pups! We had a deal remeber?! You-", the snake held up a hand and the curse mark on Sasuke's neck burned through him with an excrutiating pain unlike he had ever felt before. He'd stood only to fall to his knees clutching at his neck and shoulder on the left side. "We had a deal, and now you will hold good to your end of the bargain. I gave you power, in return I want what I have spoken of, or else."

Sasuke growled, "I have not even found Itachi yet! How can you stand here and claim that I have gotten what I wanted from the agreement?!", he was stalling for time, he knew it, they both knew it. Orochimaru flicked his wrist and Sasuke was thrown into another wall, "The moment my power touched you, you forsook your goddess and her power.", the snake made his way over to the laundry room, the quiet yips of small newborn pups reaching his earless head. Sasuke struggled to stand up as Orochimaru vanished past the grey door. The young Uchiha ran over even as the pain knocked him down every time, "Kyuubi!", he called out as he fell under Orochimaru's foot at the door way.

His beautiful Kyuubi, lay dead face down in a pool of his blood, his long red hair fanned out around him. Sasuke's eyes brimmed over with tears as he stared on in agony, Orochimaru had made quick work of the normally powerful demon king of the foxes. Kyuubi's head moved slightly, lifting up just enough to look at Sasuke, his ruby red jeweled orbs shimmering with tears of their own, he reached out a shaking hand to his husband, even as his organs spilled out onto the floor. Orochimaru kept Sasuke frozen in place as he examined the six pups. He did not notice as Sasuke reached out to Kyuubi, their fingers brushing against one another. "I...love...y-you...", Kyuubi whispered this as the light began to fade from his eyes, "y-ou name them, beloved Sasuke, all save the youngest, his name...N-Naruto...", he died then, the life extinguished from his form. "I love you too Kyuubi..", Sasuke snarled as he used his sheer will power to push through the pain, he burst up, black wings ripping themselves from his back as he shrieked in grief and fury. He had no time to question or marvel at his appendages as he used his new wings to knock Orochimaru away. Rage poured forth from his eyes as he swiftly kicked the snake in the head and snatched his children away, beating back Orochimaru violently. He screamed then, "Katon: Hōsenka NO JUTSU!", his mouth opened and he shot stream after stream of flower shaped fire balls at the hissing snake who leaped out the window in anger. "I will be back!", the snake then vanished into the night.

The youngest of the main branch Uchiha brothers panted as he sank to his knees. He looked down through tear filled eyes at his pups, the body of their mother limp against the blood covered nest he'd built and fought against Orochimaru to protect after giving birth. The six little ones squirmed about in his arms as he licked them clean and placed them in a soft basket lined with their mother's fur. His Kyuubi had been so excited about their pups, he'd made this basket to place them in after they were old enough to be away from him for more than a few hours. Sasuke wept silently as he gathered his dead wife in his arms and carried him away from the room after placing a blanket over their pups. He pumped the milk from his mate's corpse quickly while it was still warm, he would be able to find someone to replicate it exactly later, for now it would last the pups for a month as it was now.

His tears were indistinguishable from the rain as he buried his mate in the uchiha clan graveyard. The thunderstorm rolled through the sky, he walked back into the mansion and cleaned up before going to tend to his pups. He'd fed them before he'd gone to bury their mother and they laid in the basket nuzzled up to Kyuubi's fur. He could feel their sorrow, they knew their mother was gone yet they still each let out tiny squeaks and yips in search of him. He frowned, petting the six tiny heads, He had to name them. Looking at the biggest of them he knew this one had been born first, he lifted him up into his hands, staring at the pup who tried to push his hand away with his paws. "I will call you, Nagato, you seem as if you will be a pain in the future and I know, my son, that you were the first to know your mother's demise, so I will nickname you, Pain.", the blind puppy howled in agreement as he set him down. Picking up the second he pet the fur of his daughter as she bit his hand. "Kushina will be your name, and you..", he picked up the equally feisty other little female, "Karin." He set them both down and picked up the next born, the pup laid limply in his hands, it was fluffy and when he sneezed a small wisp of orange-red fur became goldish. "I will call you Cloud, as for you...", he picked up the other more goldish yellow looking pup, the pup was shaking in terror but it calmed as he licked it. "Prompto will be your name.", he reached for the final pup and it barked in anger and thrashed around as he held it. "My little Naruto...", he whispered this, kissing the top of his youngest son's head. Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked at his youngest, a red aura surrounded him and the kyuubi's spirit essence encased him like liquid bubbling. He felt threatened obviously but as soon as he smelled his father's scent the pup calmed down and the aura dissipated.

"You are all special to me, but you, I can see your mother has not left us just yet..."
