Chapter 16: Score for Naruto

Itachi had relaxed as soon as those words left Pein's lips because he didn't want to lose his blonde. He didn't want anything to happen to him or the baby. Itachi had been there for Naruto every step of the way. He'd helped Naruto with the cravings, the morning sickness, the clothes problems that they had run into all the time and all of the other problems. Through all of that, he had felt even more for Naruto and he had started feeling attached to the baby, even though it wasn't going to be his. He had felt the first time it kicked with Naruto, and he wasn't about to lose both of them though.

"No," Naruto shouted as he stood up, making the chair fall backwards. Kisame sighed with frustration.

"Naruto, I know that—"

"I am going with," Naruto growled. "Even if I have to start walking right now. I don't care; I am going to jiji-san, just as I had promised. And I am sick of cowering away from that fucking village! It's about time that they see what has become of me. I don't care about what any of you think. I can go, and this baby won't stop me." Then he started waddling out of the room.

"Naruto, where are you going," Konan called after him.

"To pack," Naruto yelled back as he turned down the hallway towards his and Itachi's room.

"You guys should have never said anything about Naruto not going," Kisame sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.

"What would you have us do then, Un," Diedara questioned.

"You should have let him go until about a mile out of the village. He just wanted to see the Hokage, not the whole village. Now he's going to be stubborn and actually want to go into the village. No one is going to stop a stubborn Naruto, especially a pregnant one." After he was done, he started walking away, knowing that the meeting was done.

"Itachi, what do you think," Pein questioned as he knew that Itachi would be the only one that would make Naruto listen to him. Everyone could see that Naruto loved Itachi, and it was the same for the other way.

"I'll talk to him," Itachi stated before walking out of the room. Once he was out of there, he started running down the hall towards their room. He was too worried that Naruto would leave without even giving another thought. It would be just like his blonde.

When Itachi entered the room, he saw Naruto throwing things out of his drawer in a fit of rage. There were tears starting to roll down his cheek by he would wipe them away angrily and then he would just start tossing his clothes out once again. Itachi waited for Naruto to turn and look at him, and it didn't take long for that to happen. Naruto turned around and wiped something at him. Itachi immediately grabbed it, and he noticed it was one of his books. Itachi sighed, as Naruto only threw things at him when he was angry at Itachi.

"Naruto," Itachi started.

"Don't," Naruto growled in response. "Just don't."

"What did I do," Itachi questioned.

"You didn't stand up for me! You just sat there and said nothing while I had to pry my way into going to Konoha."

"I don't want you to go to Konoha, Naruto." Naruto gasped at the bluntness in Itachi's statement. He felt the tears increase, and this time, he didn't try to wipe them away. There was a sob that escaped, but Naruto tried to keep it quiet.

"Naruto," Itachi whispered as he started walking towards him. He hadn't wanted to hurt him, but sometimes he had to be this blunt for Naruto to understand.

"Get out," Naruto growled.

"Naru—"

"GET OUT!" Itachi stayed put for a moment before he walked outside of the doorway. Once he was there, he slid down the wall next to the door, waiting for Naruto to let him back in.

"Didn't exactly work out like you wanted it to, huh," Kisame smirked as he took a spot right next to him. Itachi turned his head to glare at him. "I mean, what you expect? You just told him the one thing that he didn't want to hear from you. Of course he'd be hurt."

"Enough," Itachi stated before looking towards the door, waiting for his opportunity to get back to his Naru. He heard a sob emanate from his blonde, and he felt his own heart break from the pain that Naruto was erupting.

"Go to him," Kisame whispered.

"What?"

It's your only time to go in now. Naruto's weak from the emotions. It's a cycle that I've learned well from watching you and him fight whenever he became emotional. And for Kami's sake, apologize to the man!" Itachi nodded before he got up quickly and walked into the room. Itachi looked around to see clothes and Itachi's belongings thrown everywhere. Naruto had thrown himself onto the bed, and now he was crying into Itachi's pillow, just like he would do every time he was upset. Itachi walked towards him, and then he slid into the spot behind him. He wrapped his arm around Naruto's stomach and there was a gasp of surprise that interrupted Naruto's sobbing.

"I'm sorry," Itachi whispered into Naruto's ear. "I'm sorry that I hurt you." The sobbing continued, but Naruto started to move now so that he was thrown across Itachi's torso as much as he could with his stomach. He openly cried out his emotions like Itachi was so used to.

It took Naruto a while to actually calm down, and then he looked up at Itachi. Itachi looked down to see Naruto red eyed from all of the sobbing.

"I'm sorry," Itachi whispered as he tried to wipe Naruto's cheeks so that they were a little bit dry. Naruto fit his head into the croak of Itachi's neck. "Naruto, I'll go with you anywhere you want to go." Naruto nodded. "And that means, that I'll walk with you to Konoha."
