Itachi and Aven waited patiently for Raine to call them down, but after nearly an hour, Itachi decided to see what was up, but instead he saw that the door was left wide open. A few feathers were laying on the floor and there were clear signs of struggle.

"Aven, come quickly!" Itachi yelled out and stepped outside, looking for more tracks. Aven was quickly at his side and glared at the sight of the lone feathers laying on the ground and the tracks of human shoes in the dirt. Aven growled lowly and was about to take flight, but Itachi stopped him.

"Let's follow the tracks on the floor, they are still fresh and I'm sure that they wouldn't have chakra jumped. Raine's wings and belly would slow them down. If we follow the tracks we can find where they've set up camp or what village they are going to" Itachi explained. Aven looked anxious, remember the last time one of his younger siblings was caught by humans, but trusted his mate and lover.

Itachi grabbed a small knife out of the kitchen Raine had and some food. They then quickly followed the tracks and after nearly three hours they found a village. Konoha to be specific. Itachi pulled Aven away from the village and decided to make a plan.

Meanwhile, Sasuke had arrived at the small cottage and immediately knew something was wrong. Itachi and Aven left it as it was, so the door was open, the feathers layed in the dirt and footprints were all over the place.

Sasuke growled and followed the tracks at high speed, until he reached Konoha. Something else caught his attention however.

A feather, in similar print to that of Raine was dropped on his head. Looking up he saw a familiar male and an even more familiar person. Jumping up into the tree, he hugged Itachi close, who was somewhat shocked.

Aven glared at him, even though he knew Sasuke was Itachi's little brother, he was still a little jealous.

"We tracked Raine, he's in Konohagakure, but we don't know where" Itachi explained. Sasuke growled a little and jumped down, Itachi and Aven watched confused at first, but then watched in horror as Sasuke just walked straight into the village.

Everybody ignored him and Itachi concluded that Sasuke must've casted a genjutsu. He and Aven shared a look, before jumping down. Itachi casted a simple genjutsu on them and the two of them quickly ran after Sasuke, but Sasuke was gone.

They looked everywhere for him, but after nearly five hours they left the village and waited for Sasuke to return outside of the village. It was close to two hours after that Sasuke also left the village, walking hand in hand with Raine, a smirk on his face. Raine looked a bit shaken up, but was also smiling.

"We're going back to our little house and I'm going to make sure that you and little Indra are never going to be hurt, attacked or kidnapped ever again" Sasuke said, a small hint of anger present in his voice.

"I'd like that, I'm so tired right now. I think I can sleep for an entire week" Raine said stretching his arms above his head, in a playful mood. Sasuke smiled a little at him and swept him off his feet. Raine screamed in glee and laughed as Sasuke first spun him around a few times, before taking off in the direction of their home.

Itachi and Aven watched with a smile. Aven gently grasped Itachi's hand, making Itachi look at him. They shared a look and Aven also took Itachi in his arms. Then they flew off, back to their little house in the mountains.

Raine saw them and smiled, he then turned his attention back to Sasuke, who was looking as handsome as ever.

'I don't think I want anything to change' Raine thought laying his head on Sasuke's shoulder and nodding off. Sasuke had a small temporary smile on his face, his little wife looked so adorable when asleep and his pregnant belly made everything much more beautiful.

Hours earlier~

"Kakashi-sensei, why are we arresting Raine again?" An entire squadron of ninja, including Naruto and Kakashi, were making their way to Raine's hideout, which had been confirmed by locals.

"Because, Raine had been suspected for harboring Sasuke and Itachi, who are deadly and dangerous criminals. His actions would be illegal and the other nations are after him, more specifically his orgin, we can't let him fall into the hands of others" Kakashi gave a way to detailed explanation and Naruto lost focus at the name Sasuke.

It took them close to an hour before a small cottage finally came in sight. Kakashi had explained the plan to everyone and together with Naruto, made his way to the front door.

Naruto knocked on the door and two minutes later the door was opened. Raine was standing in the doorway, looking very confused and had a protective arm around his swollen belly. Naruto and Kakashi were sorrowful at what they were about to do.

You already know what happened, so I'll skip over it for now.

"Kakashi-sensei, is this really necessary?" Naruto asked looking at the unconscious Raine, that was hooked up to all kinds of machines and doctors were constantly prodding and poking at him, including the swollen belly.

Kakashi sighed a little and shrugged, he knew it wasn't exactly right to leave Raine in the hands of the greedy and curious hands of the doctors and scientists.

"Let's just leave, I bet a bowl of ramen would take your mind off of all this" Kakashi said and walked away. Naruto looked back at Raine, before following Kakashi. Of course neither of them knew that an Uchiha with murder visible on his face was stalking towards Konoha and with no other purpose than to find his wife and child.

Sakura was also amongst all of the doctors, she was making a report for her teacher, lady Tsunade. Getting an ultrasound of Raine's belly, she couldn't help but gasp out of suprise. This was the first time she had seen anything like it. Getting blood samples and collecting all the data that she could find she made her way to the Hokage's office as fast as possible.

"Lady Tsunade! You won't believe this! The male species that we had been searching for and had found, is pregnant! We still need to find the father of the child... Or mother... We're not really certain and this is so exciting!"

The doctors finished up their tests and cleaned their tools and a few bloody splotches on Raine and were ready to leave. Fate is that kind, sadly.

"Give Raine back"

When lady Tsunade and Sakura finally arrived back in the hospital room they were mortified. The doctors and scientists couldn't be identified anymore and the only thing left of Raine, were a few of his feathers.

"FIND HIM NOW!"
