Fallen (ItachixOC)

Chapter Twenty Seven

第二十七章

Miyako walked up to the entrance of one of Orochimaru's hideout, pausing before entering, Ainu secured to her back in a sling she had bought before leaving the village she and Itachi had met up in.

As she entered the hideout, she noted how quiet it was. It had been a week since she saw Itachi, two weeks since she had been with Sasuke, the Snake sannin, and his subordinates. She couldn't help but shiver as she entered the snake's den.

There was a loud bang from further into the hideout, and she made her way into Orochimaru's room to find a dead Orochimaru and a panting Sasuke. She walked up to him, and placed a hand on his shoulder, making him tense in surprise at the sudden contact.

"It's just me and Ainu-chan," Miyako stated as he gaze flickered around the destroyed room. "Where's Kabuto?"

"Don't know," Sasuke grunted, turning to face Miyako with his Sharingan blazing red and black. "Don't care."

Miyako frowned. "He's as much a snake as Orochimaru. You should care," she stated before turning her back on Sasuke.

"Ainu and I are going to rest for today. If you can wait one day, we will join you to gather the allies you've chosen," Miyako stated simply and left the room, not awaiting a reply as she made her way to her and Ainu's room in the base, closing the door behind her with a sigh.

She unwrapped Ainu from her back and placed her in the bed. She watched the sleeping baby for a minute before her gaze fell to the other door in the room that led to the bathroom. After a week of travel and sleeping outdoors, Miyako relished the thought of having a shower, but she hesitated in the event that Ainu woke up while she was showering.

The door to her room opened, revealing Sasuke who stood there with no emotion on his fair-skinned face. "I'll watch Ainu so you can relax."

Miyako looked at Sasuke in surprise. He rarely ever to offers to help with Ainu, but she wasn't going to look a gift-horse in the mouth and smiled before nodding. She grabbed a change of clothes and a towel before entering the bathroom, leaving Sasuke with his niece.

Sasuke sighed before making his way over to Ainu, looking down at the little girl, a small smile on his lips as he thought about the day she was born.

Sasuke was just getting out of the shower after training when he heard banging on the bathroom door. In annoyance, he wrapped a towel around the lower part of his body and slammed the door open, only to be met with a teary-eyed, almost ten-month pregnant Miyako/

"What?" he asked, and Miyako latched onto him. "M-Miyako?" Sasuke stuttered in shock.

"S-Sasuke, the baby. She's coming," Miyako stated, making Sasuke freeze up in shock.

"What do we do?" Sasuke questioned, forcing himself to remain calm in the face of the problem at the moment.

"You need to get dressed. Then carry me to the nearby villages midwife. No way am I giving birth to my child here in the hideout," Miyako ordered, and Sasuke nodded, pushing Miyako out of the way and rushing into his room to get dressed while Miyako looked away to offer him privacy.

He quickly got dressed and picked Miyako up, rushing out of the base before running to the nearby village. This was no easy task due to Miyako's current weight.

When they arrived, he went to the midwife who settled Miyako down in the back room and looked at Sasuke.

"Is the baby your's?" the middle-aged woman question, making Sasuke blanch in shock.
