Sasuke's Finding Chapter 6

Sasuke’s Finding: Chapter 6



Sasuke lay in his bed watching the sunset, having had almost no sleep at all last night. Sakura had stayed up rather later, crying herself to sleep. Sasuke had been up for about an hour, trying to get out of bed but a young genin held on to him tightly in his sleep. Instead of just roughly getting out of bed, he took the time to wonder how this morning was going to turn out. Sasuke tugged on Naruto trying to wake him up, but Naruto was in a deep slumber. Sasuke thought maybe Naruto was having that dream again in which he was the Hokage of the village.

“I bet that’s what it is…” Sasuke said to himself. After a bit more nudging, Naruto started muttering in his sleep

“One day…I will be the Hokage…believe it..!” He said. Sasuke rolled his eyes after hearing those famous two words Naruto liked to stick at the end of each and every sentence.

“Naruto wake up. We have to get ready to meet with the Hokage this morning.”

“What” he asked, his eyes half open and still holding onto this warm entity he could only identify as a big teddy bear “…Oh yeah” he added slowly, opening his eyes completely for just a moment, “…I don’t want to go.” And his eyes were closed again.

“I don’t want to go either, Naruto, but this might be our chance to look after James”

“Right…” Naruto said, slowly letting go of what he now realized was a boy his same age, blushing up a bit as he realized why they were in this position. “Oh… and Sasuke?”

“Yeah, what is it Naruto?” Sasuke asked, finally able to get out of the bed and stretch.

“Thanks for um…looking after me last night.”

Sasuke wanted to be his usual self and ignore the statement, simply walking away silently. But then he realized how much it would’ve taken the proud boy to utter those words and he tried his hardest to respond. “Don’t mention it.” Sasuke said, before walking away to the kitchen.

“Sakura are you around?” Sasuke called.

“I’m in James’ room.” she whispered silently to keep the baby from waking up. As Sasuke walked in, Sakura was leaning over James’ crib and rubbing his tiny arm while he slept.

“How is James doing, Sakura?”

“He is doing well. He didn’t make a sound all night.”

“That’s good.” He said, going to lean against the wall. There was this silence then, and they both knew what it was about. After a few minutes, Sasuke decided to talk about the big elephant in the room. “I barely slept at all last night…”

“Neither did I, I tried to keep strong but I kept breaking down in tears. Sasuke…” she started, moving over to the ninja and wrapping her arms tightly around him. “I just don’t want to lose James.”

“None of us want to lose James, but we have to prepare ourselves for anything. Maybe things might work for us. Let’s just hope for the best, okay?”

“You’re right. Thank you Sasuke, you always have the right things to say.”

“It’s no problem.” Sasuke said, even thought inside it felt like his newfound happiness had already been shattered.

“I guess we should make some breakfast.” Sakura said.

“Sounds good, but we should leave James sleeping. He needs it more than we do.”

“That’s true.” she said letting go of Sasuke, now looking for some breakfast. Sasuke was about to join her, when he realized Naruto had not come out of his bedroom yet, wondering whether he had dressed himself yet.

“Naruto, are you finished getting ready?”

“Yeah I’m almost finished. I’m just having trouble getting this sleeper off.” As he said that, he clumsily stumbled over one of the legs and bumped his head. Sasuke sighed, realizing it would take forever if he left Naruto to himself.

“What’s wrong now, Naruto?”

“My Zipper is jammed on the sleeper. Could you help me?”

“Alright, hold on.” Sasuke said, coming into the room. Naruto got back on his feet and jumped on the bed to wait for the other boy. Sasuke reached behind the boy and undid the zipper, slipping the soft fabric off his shoulders and getting the whole garment off him, only to find that the diaper underneath was soaked.

“You know Naruto,” he said, getting some changing supplies ready and opening the diaper, “I’m not your daddy. You really shouldn’t be so helpless all the time.”

Naruto tried to look away from the boy, knowing he was right. Being taken care of like this, even if it was by a boy, had always been a dream of his, but there was no way for him to enjoy it now. While Sasuke cleaned him up and got him in a fresh diaper, he just felt weak and uncomfortable to be demanding the ninja’s attention at a time like this.

And it was not like he really felt like Sasuke was his daddy. With all the padding the Uchiha was in most of the time, it was hard to feel he was even a little. They had another kind of relationship, one where they took care of each other, even if Naruto was currently hogging all the attention.

“Thanks, bwo.” Naruto said as Sasuke taped up the new diaper.

“What did you just say?” Sasuke asked confused.

“Never mind…” Naruto said, shaking his head. “I am just tired.”

“Okay, well, just get ready now and meet us for breakfast.”

“I will be there soon, BELIEVE IT!”

“Shhh! You’re going to wake up James with that shouting.”

“I’m sorry.” He said whispering.

“Don’t worry about it, just meet us for breakfast after.” Sasuke said walking to the kitchen. “So what are we having for breakfast?”

“I thought maybe this morning we might have something light, like fruit, because tension is very high right now.”

“You’re right and I don’t think any of us is that hungry anyway. I’m actually too nervous to really eat anything at all.” Sasuke said, sitting down at the table.

“Well, you’re going to have something to eat or I am going to feed you.” Sakura said simply, putting up a grin to lighten the mood. “Babies need nourishment.”

Sasuke did not respond at all. “My hobby is the last thing on my mind right now.”

“I know,” Sakura said, sighing, “but I just wanted to cheer you up.”

“I will be a lot better after all this is done.”

“Hey everyone!” Naruto said, “I’m ready to eat.”

“Come and sit down. We’re having fruit for breakfast.”

“That’s fine.” He said starting to eat of the plate Sakura handed him. Sasuke munched a bit but not a whole lot. Sasuke had many things racing through his mind. For instance, he barely knew Tsunade so he had no idea how to persuade her. Sakura tried to keep as positive as she could but it was really getting to her.

“I think it’s time to go.” Sasuke said finally.

“I think that’s a good idea Sakura said, going into the nursery to get James ready. In a few minutes she had gotten him ready, and filled his diaper bag with all he would need. They all walked out the door feeling a great weight in every step they made. The morning was a bit colder than usual outside, but luckily it was not too far to the Hokage’s residence.

“Alright, let’s show the Hokage we can look after James. We have to be ready for anything she might ask. Since we are only teenagers, they are going to use that against us. “Sasuke said.

“You’re right Sasuke. Let’s shows Tsunade that we can look after a baby.” Sakura said.

“We will get James BELIEVE IT!”

In a few minutes they made it to the Hokage’s residence and it seemed that for a change Kakashi was actually on time today.

“Glad to see you made it on time. Lady Tsunade is waiting for you, but first I would like you to meet someone.” Kakashi said to them. There seemed to be a female doctor waiting for them.

“Hello, I’m doctor Li. The Hokage has asked me to do a full examination on James while you have your meeting with the Hokage.”

“Well, alright. Ok James you be a good boy for mommy ok? I will be back soon.” Sakura said trying to hand James over to Doctor Li. James already started getting nervous the moment the unfamiliar woman touched him, started to cry very loud for being out of Sakura’s arms.

“It’s okay James, mommy will be back soon.” She tried, but with no success.

“It seems you will have to come with me.” The doctor said, handing the baby back to Sakura.

“Will you two be all right?” Sakura asked the two ninja, though she already knew the answer.

“Its fine, Sakura.” Sasuke said, motioning for Sakura to follow the doctor, “We’ll take care of things over here.”

James was now being taken to another room to be examined. Kakashi waited at the main door for them. The group walked to the door, opening the door with Tsunade waiting in a chair with the usual desk in front of her. There were four chairs in front of her. Being nervous, Naruto and Sasuke walked to the chairs and sat down in front of her while Kakashi took away one of the chairs and told the Hokage where Sakura was.

“Well, you two know why you’re here. I was quite surprised to hear of an abandoned infant being found in one of Konoha’s alley ways. So who was the first person to find this infant ‘James’??”

“I was.” Sasuke said, ”I found James coming home from a day of training. I heard what turned out to be the sound of something crying. Curiously I walked towards it and I found James lying in a soaked blanket and sleeper. It was already pretty late and since it’s always the duty of a ninja to protect any members of our village, I could not just leave him behind and decided to take him home. I washed and dried his clothes, and bought any baby items he needed.”

“I see, so how did Sakura and Naruto come into this?”

“Sakura came to my door the next morning. I tried at first to keep Sakura from noticing anyone else was with me, but she heard James crying for me in the bedroom. She found James and agreed to help me take of him.”

“I see. What happened next?”

“She told me that she would help love and nurture James. We even bought him clothes and toys. Naruto got James a crib to sleep in.”

“Well, I am impressed about how much you care about James’ wellbeing. But I see some problems arising. For one, who will look after James on your missions?

“I planned to hire a babysitter.” Sasuke replied.

“Yeah, but you don’t understand that babies need to be cared for twenty-four hours a day.” Tsunade scolded, the boys looking away. They already felt guilty enough about all that. “And with you being ninja in training, you can’t give him all the care he needs. Not to mention that you’re way too young to become parents.”

That was the breaking point for Naruto. “I can’t believe everyone keeps saying that to us! First we hear it from Kakashi-sensei and now we hear it from you!? We have done just fine looking after James and we can do a parenting job just as well as any parent! James already loves us enough that he can’t even be away from one of us for a single examination!” Naruto shouted.

Kakashi sighed, hitting him over the head to shut him up. “My apologies, lady Hokage, for Naruto’s outburst.”

“Well, even though he should show more respect, he does have a point. From what I heard today, it seems like all three of you have showed responsibility for the welfare of James. But next time you’d better make the point without shouting, if you wish to live your live without a crushed skull that is.”

“So… does that mean we can keep James?” Sasuke asked.

“I can’t say for sure. I am going to speak with Doctor Li first. Then I will make my final decision. I will have Kakashi summon all three of you when I am ready. Your are dismissed”

All three got up and calmly walk out the door. Sakura was sitting on a chair in the waiting room with James in her arms and Sasuke and Naruto went to sit by her side.

“How did it go?” Sakura asked.

“I think it was Naruto that was our turning point.” Sasuke replied, bringing his finger over to James to play.

“Do you really think I made that much of an impact?” Naruto asked

“It’s because you showed Tsunade we can look after James. We might even stand a chance of getting custody.” Sasuke said.

They silently sat in the room while they played with little James, who judging by his constant giggling was blissfully unaware of any harm. All that had happened to him was that a hand glowing with green light did something the pink mommy called an ‘examination’.

“Lady Hokage will see all now.” Kakashi said, getting out of the office. He held the door open for them as they walked in, and they quickly seated themselves.

“After some time speaking with your sensei and the doctor I have made my decision. Even though you have shown that you can take care of this child, naturally it is inappropriate for you to take care of another parents’ infant. However, you can keep him until we find another a better foster family for him.” She gave a small pause, but then continued with a sly grin. “Of course, I doubt we’ll find someone better than you three anytime soon.

They were absolutely speechless. At first they did not even believe it, but slowly their confused gazes turned into excited grins. Sakura could not take it anymore and jumped off her seat to hug her mentor, something she had never dared before.

“Oh thank you lady Hokage!” Sakura said, dodging her punches and breaking off the hug before she got seriously hurt.

“Thank you so much.” Sasuke said.

“We did it!” The orange ninja shouted loudly.

“Now, before you can take James home, Doctor Li wanted to speak with you.”

“I must say, James appeared to be in perfect health when I examined him. He seems to be well fed, in perfect shape, and he even has a healthy set of chakra pathways. He’ll make a good ninja one day. Absolutely one of the healthiest babies I have ever examined. He is an infant approximately six months old. Also, he has a round shaped birth mark on his shoulder blade which should help us identify him.”

“I never noticed that when I bathed him.” Sakura said, tugging on James’ shirt to reveal the mark. “Did you notice it Sasuke?”

“No, but I have only bathed him once and then I was more concerned about his temperature.”

“It’s no problem. Anyway, he has a clean bill of health and you’re more the welcome to head home with him now.“

“One more thing.” Kakashi said from the door, getting the attention of all three of them.

“Lunch is on me, you have earned it for proving your responsibility to the Hokage and me.”

“Thank you sensei” They all said.

After Sakura got James back they all head down to ramen stand. Naruto by this time was starving for some fresh ramen. Sakura and Kakashi did not eat so much, but Naruto and Sasuke were competing again to see who could eat the most.

“Will you two ever grow up?” Sakura said.

“I’m sure one day they will Sakura. But for now let them act as childishly as they want.” Kakashi said.

Naruto and Sasuke looked up. They asked in unison: “What was that?”

“Don’t worry you two.” Sakura said, rolling her eyes. After their lunch was finished, Kakashi and his students parted ways.

“I’m thinking,” Sakura said, “since we just heard the best news since Sasuke found James, why don’t we go celebrate by swimming? We just have to go get some swimwear and we are ready to go.”

“I could use a swim right now, how about you Naruto?”

“Sounds great! I could go get the swim wear.”

“Alright we will wait at the lake, but you’d better bring enough stuff Naruto.” Sakura said

Naruto ran back to apartment while Sasuke and Sakura walked James firmly wrapped in her arms down to the lake. “Sasuke, isn’t it wonderful we got to keep James?”

“Yeah…it’s great.”

“Is something wrong? I thought you were thrilled you got James back.”

“I am more than thrilled that we got James back, but I wonder how long this will last.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, look at it this way. We are only genin teenagers. Eventually they will find foster parents or they might even find James’ real parents.”

“I never really thought of that.” Sakura admitted quietly. “But let’s not worry about that now. I just want to enjoy this day as best we can. And besides, we have James now, and that’s what matters.”

“You’re right Sakura.” Sakura said a little brighter. “And I think I’ll have a surprise for you tonight.”

“Oh, a surprise? What is it?”

“I’m not going to tell you, but you will find out later on tonight.”

In a few minutes they made it down to the lake on a beautiful sunny morning where the sun was glaring off the crystal blue lake and no one was around but them. In the distance you could see a silhouette of a young boy running down to the lake.


“Hey guys! I came with the stuff!” Naruto yelled from afar, waving excitingly at them. When he got to them, he opened a sack full of clothes for all four of them. Sakura grabbed some clothes for James and for herself and went behind some trees to change.

Sasuke removed his two shirts and his shoes, left only in his normal grey shorts. Naruto grabbed a black pair of shorts and looked for a place to change. But besides the trees where Sakura went to, there was not any shelter. Unable to wait for Sakura to finish, he just quickly undressed out in the open and stepped into the shorts.

He was jumping up and down excitingly, wanting to go swimming and hating to wait, apparently not even noticing the top plastic of his diaper was showing. Sasuke was staring at Naruto’s marking on his stomach, having never noticing them, though that was probably because Naruto usually does not remove his black shirt.

“Something wrong Sasuke?

“Huh? No it’s nothing Naruto.

Naruto finally was able to wait no longer and ran straight into the water. He definitely had the heart of the child. Sakura returned with James. She had a pink bikini on and James had a pair of blue shorts. Sasuke had his eyes locked on Sakura’s body.

“Ready to go swimming, Sasuke?” Sakura asked.

“Um…yeah sure” he said, walking into the water with a slight blush.

The water was warm, but still refreshing coming out of the sun. As soon as James was waist deep in the water, he started splashing the water like a manifestation of giggling happiness.

“I think he likes the water.” Sakura said.

“I think it reminds him of bath time. And it’s good for him to have some fun before his afternoon nap.”

“Yeah, I think we should try to see if he can float on his own”

“If you think he can…”

“I’m sure. They say babies have an easy time floating by themselves. Well, here it goes.” Sakura slowly let go of James out of her arms. James had no problem floating on his own. He still splashed and giggled with no problem at all.

After about an hour and a half, they got dried off and headed back home. But their little secret about James was not silent for long. People had dropped off clothes, toys and other baby items.

“I guess we won’t have to sneak around anymore…” Sasuke said.

“Well, babies do grow out of clothes fast. But now we might have more people wanting to see James. We can’t exactly do the normal things now. Like I can’t just baby you and Naruto all the time anymore.”

“Oh well, we will play like that when we have the chance.” Sasuke said, walking in with all the gifts from the village.

“So, what should we do now?” Naruto asked.

“Well Naruto, actually, would you mind if I would have some private time with Sakura?“ Sasuke asked.

“Well, alright then. I will be back in a little while.” Naruto said, walking out of the apartment. He had been meaning to play hide and seek with Konohamaru for a while anyway.

“So Sasuke, now that Naruto is gone, what did you want to do?”

“Well,” Sasuke said, a bit embarrassed, “since you have been so sweet babying Naruto and me, I wanted to baby you for a change.”

“Oh...” She said, a blush coming to her face as well, “I would really enjoy that. Why don’t you take a shower?”

“Sounds good.” Sasuke said as he walked into the bath room, removing his clothes. But as he got cleaned up, he could only think about how glad he was that they had James back. After finishing up, he got dried and dressed, walking out to find James was playing with toys and Sakura was waiting for him. Sakura was in shorts and a pink shirt.

“So is Sakura ready?”

“I am ready when you are, Sasuke.”

“Alright, I will be right back.”

Sasuke went to Naruto and his room. He picked up two diapers and some baby powder, before making his way back to Sakura.

“Okay, Sakura will you lay down for me?”

Sakura did as she was told. Sasuke was still a bit nervous since he never diapered a girl before. But he started removing her shorts and undies. Then quickly slid one thick diaper under her. Now came a generous pouring of powder, then taping her diaper up snug. Then one more diaper for extra padding.

After it was done, Sasuke looked at Sakura. Sasuke had always thought she was pretty attractive, but he could never have guessed how diapers made her look… well, hot.

“Um…ok Sakura we are done.”

Sakura sat up, feeling her diaper. “I forgot how much I like being a baby…”

“Yeah, I know what you mean. Would my little girl like a baba?”

“I would love one!”

“Alright, just give me a few minutes.” Sasuke said, before going to the kitchen, to see if he could find a clean bottle for Sakura. After a bit of looking he found one and filled it up with milk.

“Okay Sakura, it’s feeding time.” Sasuke said, sitting down on the couch. Sakura crawled over to sasuke’s lap. Sasuke then put the nipple of the bottle into Sakura mouth. Sakura giggled as she drank from the baby bottle. Sasuke smiled as he cuddled her, rubbing her back gently as she finished up the bottle.

“Ok Sakura, I think it’s almost nappy time?”

“But…I’m not sweepy yet…” Sakura said, though she was exhausted from all the drama that had gone on.

“Now daddy knows best.” He said, wrapping both of them in a warm blanket. Sasuke started humming a lullaby softly to Sakura as her eyes began to slowly shut, sucking her thumb, and then laying against Sasuke.

“Well, it seems Sakura needed to get some sleep after all.”

Sakura was sound asleep, lying in Sasuke’s arms. A short time later Naruto walked in, looking a bit upset that Sasuke got to spend so much time with mommy. But he took it in stride, playing with James. Eventually it rolled around to be bed time for all of them. Sakura got the boys ready for bed as usual, and then got herself ready for bed.

Sasuke seemed to have trouble sleeping though. He looked at the alarm clock: “1:32 AM” it said. He rubbed his eyes and got up, careful not to wake Naruto. He figured a nice walk might help him get tired, so he slipped out of his sleeper and got into more conventional clothing, checking if his diaper would not be audible before heading out. But just as he was about to leave, he thought he would check how James was.

As he walked in he noticed a man all in black slowly putting his arms into James crib.

“James!!!” Sasuke yelled out. He ran into the unknown kidnapper and forced them both out the window. But when Sasuke hit the ground, all that was left of the kidnaper had turned into a puddle of water.

“A water ninja! That means he is still close by.” But the ninja was nowhere to be found. Hearing the huge crash, ninja were summoned to Sasuke’s apartment from all over. Kakashi was on his way as well.

When their teacher arrived at the apartment, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were sitting on the couch. Naruto of course was dressed in a regular par of PJs.

“So…Sasuke, I heard it was you who saved James.”

“Yes, I was going out for a night time walk, but I thought I would check on James. Then I saw someone over James’ crib. I just panicked and threw myself at him. But, it must have been a water clone.”

“Hmm...Why would a water ninja want to abduct James? Well, we are not taking any chances. I will have ANBU guarding your apartment until he is captured. Right now we have ninja combing the village. He couldn’t have escaped already. Well, I am heading home. You have security around the apartment and training will resume the day after tomorrow. You should find a babysitter before then. Have a good night.” Kakashi said, leaving.

After all the excitement they went back to bed, wondering who that person was and why he would want James. So many questions with no answers. Things did go back to normal; people babysat James as the three ninja went on their training with Kakashi. After a month, there was still no sign of the kidnapper anywhere in or around the village.

In fact, they had all but forgotten the incident. Which is why they felt safe enough to go on a picnic outside the village? They decided to eat right by a large lake. As they were preparing to sit down for a freshly prepared lunch by Sakura, Sasuke heard some noise coming from the woods.

“Sakura, guard James! Naruto, stands ready!”

“Sasuke, what's wrong?” Sakura asked.

“I think the person who tried who kidnapped James is near.” Sasuke said, and instantly Sakura and Naruto got out a kunai and got ready to fight.

“Very observant of you.” A man said jumping out of a tree, landing on the ground.

The man was young, maybe about in his mid twenties. He had long blood red hair, blue eyes and a long black trench coat, red buttoned shirt, black pants, and a head band from the Land of Waves.

“Who are you, and what do you want with James!?” Sasuke screamed.

“My name is Kio and I am a mercenary for hire. Now I will give you a choice. Hand over the baby or I will have to kill you.”

“I would rather die than give you James.” Sasuke said.

“As you wish, prepare to die.” Kio said, before running to Naruto and Sasuke. They jumped out of the way to avoid his sword and threw their kunai at him, quickly grabbing another from their pouch. Kio deflected the knives and pursued them. Sasuke grinned as he was able to lure the mercenary away from James. Kio’s water clone grinned as he created the opening for the real Kio to charge at Sakura and James with his katana.

Even though Sasuke was busy drawing the clone away, he constantly kept looking at his charge and Kio running to Sakura did not escape him... nor the fact that he was too far away to stop him. Sasuke screamed.

“Sakura, James… no!!!”

End of chapter 6.

Sasuke's Finding Chapter 5

Sasuke’s Finding: chapter 5


A few hours later Sakura thought it would be a good idea to wake up her baby boys. Sakura first went to see how James was. When Sakura walked in Jake was sleeping soundly hugging his teddy bear plushie. “Awww, you’re the cutest little baby ever” Sakura said rubbing James’ side. James woke up still sleepy. “Hello sweetie” Sakura said picking him up. Sakura went over and laid James down on the changing table, took him out of his sleeper and checked his diaper. He was wet and messy. “Oh James made a tinky.”

James giggled, waving his arms around as Sakura wiped him then applied baby oil to James’ bum which made him giggle. Sakura finished by powdering James then taping him up and putting him back in his sleeper. “Now my baby boy is all clean. And I think it’s time for lunch. Sakura made her way to Sasuke’s and Naruto’s room.

They were both sleeping soundly, just like Sakura had left them a few hours back. But this time they were almost hugging each other like babies would. “Awww” she whispered not to wake them up yet. She still couldn’t believe the two biggest rivals in the village were sleeping soundly with each other. Naruto was mumbling in his sleep. Sakura wondered what Naruto was saying so she got a bit closer. “Oh… Sakura… your skin is so soft.”

After hearing this Sakura burst out laughing, a few times almost dropping James. About a minute later both Sasuke and Naruto woke up. Both turning to look at what it was they were hugging, both of them pulling away immediately once they knew, hoping Sakura had not seen them. “Sorry boys, I saw you both.” She said, making them blush.

“Oh come on you two. You’re both my babies now and you’re not tough guys anymore. Got it?”

They both nodded shyly. “Good, now how about something to eat?”

“Yeah I’m starving. Believe it!”

Both Sakura and Sasuke just rolled their eyes while James started to cry from Naruto’s screaming.

“Shhh. It’s ok James. Mommy is here for you. Way to go Naruto! Scaring James like that.” Sakura scolded.

“You’re such an idiot Naruto.” Sasuke added, joining Sakura in trying to make the baby feel better.

“OK, I’m sorry for scaring you, James.” Naruto said rubbing James back. It seemed to calm him down. In a short time James was all happy again.

“Wow Naruto. You did something right for once.”

“Ah it was nothing. Who knows, maybe one day I will be a daddy.”

Sakura and Sasuke thought about what it would be like with two Naruto’s running around the village… have mercy on the poor village of Kohona.

“Yeah…Maybe one day in the future. Now let’s get some lunch.” Sakura said walking to the kitchen. Both Genin followed Sakura. Sakura now handed James over to Sasuke.

“Now you three play nice while I make lunch, ok?”

They both nodded. They went to the couch to keep James busy. Sakura was boiling some water to make some fresh ramen, which Naruto always had on hand. In a short bit the water was boiled and the noodles were done. As Sakura was preparing the bowls, Naruto, Sasuke and James were playing with some baby toys Naruto had collected. Sakura was now cutting some fruit for James to eat.

“Ok Boys, it’s time to eat.”

All three went to the table and sat down. Sakura had two bowls of ramen waiting for them and some chopped-up fruit.

“Ok. I’m going to feed all three of you but one at a time. I Think Naruto will go first. And do you think you could feed James for me Sasuke?”

“I don’t mind Sakura.”

“Good. Now it’s your turn Naruto.”

“Alright”

As Sakura fed Naruto, Sasuke was feeding James. James munched it back fairly quick. Seeing that James wanted more Sasuke chopped up some more fruit. James ate the rest of the fruit. “Good boy James.” James just giggled happily as he always was, feeling secure in Sasuke’s arm, now burrowing his head into Sasuke’s chest.

Naruto tried to mimic James, taking over the clumsy mannerisms when he ate. He made sure some fell on his shirt so Sakura would have to clean the messy baby, and generally played along with Sakura’s care.

“Ok Sasuke, Naruto is finished. Now it’s your turn.”

“I think I might wait for now Sakura, I think James is comfy right where he is.”

“Alright then, what should we do today? Oh I know, We can go to the lake for a swim; let James play in the water for a bit.” Both Sasuke and Naruto nodded.”

“Great! You both get ready, and I will get James ready.” Sakura said, walking to James’ nursery. “Ok, let’s get our baby in some lighter clothes. “Sakura said getting James out of his sleeper, into shorts and a T shirt, now putting on some socks and shoes. “ Now you’re all done.” Boys are you ready to go?”

“Yeah, Naruto and I are ready. We also have supplies for Naruto too if he needs a change.” Sasuke said smirking.

Naruto Growled. “Shut up Sasuke! It’s not like I wanted to be incontinent!”

“Both of you stop! Sakura shouted” Naruto and Sasuke went dead silent.

“Now, if you’re both done being immature, we can go.” Sakura said. Just before they were about to leave, there was a knock at the door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Kakashi.” A heavy voice from the other side of the door said.

“What is Kakashi doing here? Quick! Take James and hide in the bedroom.” So Naruto and Sasuke grabbed James, and went hiding in the bedroom. Sakura now walked to the door, opening it.

“Kakashi sensei, what are you doing here?”

“Hello Sakura. I was wondering if Sasuke was around.”

“Um, No he isn’t, did you want to speak with him?”

“Yes I did. I was walking in the village and Ino told me about you and Sasuke taking care of a baby boy in his apartment complex. So I did some checking around and found that there are no babies named James living in the building. Is there something you would like to tell me Sakura?” Kakashi asks.

“N-No Kakashi sensei….” She tried, but before Sakura could say anything else, the sound of James crying a little bit reached them.

“Well looks like you do have a visitor” Kakashi said, following the sound which leads to a nursery room. There were Naruto and Sasuke, the latter holding James tightly and trying to calm him down.

“H-Hi, Kakashi sensei…” Naruto nervously spoke. Sasuke just stared, keeping his attention on James which slowly calmed him.

“So...This must be that James I keep hearing about.” Kakashi said while looking at Sasuke. Sasuke said nothing. “Well? Is this James?”

“It is James.” Sakura said walking in.

“Alright, since James does not belong to anyone from the apartment complex, I want to know where James is from.”

“Do you really want to know?” Sasuke asked, followed with a sigh as he realized it was no use lying to his teacher now. “I was walking home from a long day of training, and I heard crying. I was curious and found James in the alley, cold, wet and frightened. So I took him home. I couldn’t leave him there. And ever since I have been taking care of James. The next morning Sakura came by and found James. Together with Naruto who discovered us a few hours later we’ve been taking care of the little guy.“ Sasuke held the baby tight as he finished his explanation, expressing how much he enjoyed not being alone anymore.

“I see…” he said, contemplating the situation, “Well, fact is, you’re all too young to be looking after a baby.”

“Are you serious!?” Naruto yelled at his senior. “Sasuke and Sakura are like the best people to look after a child! I wish I would have had people like them when I was baby!”

“Wow,” Sakura said to herself, surprised by the blonde’s kind words, “I can’t believe Naruto said that. I never knew he felt that way.”

“Naruto! As your sensei I can’t just let you look after a baby. He needs a home that can look after him. Babies need care 24 hour a day. He looks fine to me, but you’re all ninja and you can’t take a baby on missions with you. You would put James’ life and yours in danger. I have no choice but to take him to the Hokage.”

“Please Kakashi sensei, don’t bring him to the Hokage!” Sakura pleaded.

“I’m sorry, but it’s all I can do. I will go to speak with him right now and I will be back soon.” Kakashi said, leaving Sasuke’s apartment. Sakura started to tear up, Naruto got even angrier than he had been, and Sasuke just held on to James even tighter, realizing that if he let go, he might never be able to hold him again. Sasuke kept looking down at James, wishing so badly he could have just been his father.

“Sakura, could you look after James for a little while?”

“Um sure, are you going somewhere?”

“I need to go for a bit, to clear my head” Sasuke said handing James over to Sakura.

“Ok. You be careful Sasuke”

Sasuke said nothing as he walked out the door, shutting it behind him.

“Wow, Sasuke must be broken up about it all this.”

“Of course he is, he loves James. It’s one of the few things that makes him happy now.”

“But he still gets mad at me for the small things. Are you sure he really cares about James?”

“Are you serious Naruto? If Sasuke didn’t love James why else would he have taken James home with him? Better yet, why would he have kept James at his home and take care of him?”

“I guess you’re right. I may not always get along with Sasuke but if he wants to look after James he should be able to.”

“It’s not just Sasuke, Naruto. I want to take care of James as well.”

“Oh right, well you can always look after Sasuke and me.” Naruto teased, trying to cheer her up.

“I know, but it’s really not the same. I like holding a baby in my arms, to know how a mother feels.”

Naruto did not know how to respond to that and just sat down on a chair, looking over at her.

“When do you think Sasuke will be back?”

“I don’t know. He looked really tense when he left.”

While Naruto and Sakura waited at the apartment with James, Sasuke was down at the dock. He realized everything that had been going so well, was falling apart before his very eyes.

“All I ever wanted was to be happy again. Why is that so hard? Why is everything I want taken away from me? It’s Bad enough that I have no family now. Something finally works out, and it’s shattered…”

After about two hours of sulking at the dock, Sasuke started to walk home, trying to get his thoughts straightened out on the way. He wondered if Kakashi had come to the apartment yet, in one way not wanting to know James fate. With every step he took, he was reminded more and more of when his first family was taken away from him, his older brother slaughtering his parents and friends.

He clenched his fists, his inner rage visible on his face. But then he thought of James and he realized it did not seem to hurt as much. His glowing smile, the giggling laughter. He realized that he should not be focusing so much on his anger, and be happy with him while he still could. His walk turned quicker, until finally he was running, hoping so badly that James would still be there.

Within a few minutes Sasuke had made it home, and with a deep breath to hide his panting, Sasuke walked in. Naruto was nowhere to be found and Sakura was sitting the couch playing with James.

“Hi Sakura.”

“Sasuke, you’re back!” She yelled happily, a big smile on her face.

“Did Kakashi come by yet?” He asked, taking James from Sakura to hold him a little, feeling much better with him in his arms.

“No, we’re still waiting for him. And Naruto went out for a bit too.”

“Typical. Where did the loser go?”

“He said he was going to the Raman stand, but I think he went looking for you.”

“For me? Why would he care?”

“He didn’t say it, but he does worry about you.”

“Yeah… I guess you’re right. Well, all we can do now is wait for Kakashi to come back.” Sasuke said, removing his shoes and shorts, just being in a diaper and T shirt.

“But Sasuke… what if Kakashi-sensei comes by?”

“At this point, I don’t care anymore if he sees me like this.”

“Alright then.” She said taking James again and carrying him to his crib, “he needs his rest.” When she came back, she seemed to have brought a plushie and a pacifier with her. She popped the paci in Sasuke’s mouth, handing him the plushie and sitting next to him on the couch. Sasuke clenched the plushie deep to his chest, trying not to show that anything was bothering him, even though anyone could plainly see it. Sakura motioned Sasuke to lie against her, so he moved a little closer. She started humming a gentle lullaby to relax him, running her fingers through his black hair, and soon he was sleeping, finally able to not focus on any of their troubles for a while. A bit later Naruto came in.

“Hey Sakura, I see Sasuke came home.”

“Shhh. Sasuke is sleeping Naruto.” Sakura whispered to him.

“Oh sorry,” He said, much more softly. ”did Kakashi-sensei come by yet?”

“No, not yet… I wonder when he finally will.”

“Who knows; never once yet has the king of lateness ever been on time. Remember the first time we went on a mission? He was a couple hours late. And I was starving by the time he arrived.”

“Yeah I know. Well hopefully he will be here soon enough.”

“I’m going to check on James.”

“I just put him back in bed. Don’t wake him up”

“Yeah, yeah I won’t” Naruto said, going to James’ room, slowly closing the door.

“I can be just as good as Sasuke is at being a dad, BELIEVE IT!” Naruto said to himself as he looked at James. Naruto slowly picked him up hoping he wouldn’t start crying. Sure enough, it being the first time he was ever being held by Naruto, James started crying a bit.

“Shhh. Please don’t cry, Sakura will yell at me, or Sasuke will say I can’t look after you.” Naruto tried humming and rocking, but it did very little at all. He finally stopped crying when he smelled some familiar scent on the orange entity, reminding him of his daddy, but was still very anxious. Naruto thought for a bit, and thought maybe he needed a change. So he laid James down on the changing table, the one he hoped to be put on one day soon, and opened his sleeper. Naruto had guessed right, James diaper was soaked.

“Guess I should call Sakura to change him…” he said to himself, before realizing something. “No, I can do it myself, after all, how much harder can it be than changing my own diaper?“ Naruto said undoing James soggy diaper.

“Ok…Undid his diaper, I um…Guess I clean you now?” Naruto mumbled, cleaning James with a wipe.

“Ok. Got you clean, now for a new diaper. Naruto said to James throwing away his old diaper and sliding a new one under. “Ok, I know James needs powder, but what else?
Naruto said as he powdered James, but paused, thinking of what else he needs.

“Oh I know.” Naruto said applying diaper rash cream to him, taping his diaper up, and putting him back in his sleeper.

“Alright, that wasn’t too hard.” Naruto now looked down at James. He was happy and giggling.

“You really are an adorable little kid.” Naruto said picking him up. Playing with him a little by making silly faces, that made little James laugh continuously. Naruto smiled with a wide grin, knowing James didn’t hate or dislike the boy for who he was. After a bit of time, Sakura came in. To her surprise, James was holding onto Naruto tightly.

“Wow, it’s great to see that James likes you Naruto.”

“Yeah… it’s nice to see that James is one of the few people that don’t hate me in the village”

Sakura wasn’t too sure how to say it wasn’t true, even though she knew exactly how much she had hated him when she had first met him.

A bit later Sasuke walked into the room. Also looking surprised at Naruto holding James in his arms.

“I guess I’d better get changed before Kakashi gets here.” Sasuke said leaving the room, getting back into his normal clothes. As they were all sitting on the couch waiting for Kakashi’s arrival, Kakashi finally knocked at the door and let himself in.

“Sorry I was late. It took a little longer than expected.” As much as all three of them want to scream “YOU’RE ALWAYS LATE!”, they didn’t want to scare James with any excessive noise. “The Hokage said he wants to speak with you all tomorrow afternoon. Don’t miss it.

“But what about James? Are we allowed to keep him tonight?” Sakura asked hopefully.

“Yes. Since the Hokage has not decided yet on what is going to be James’ future she thought it would be suitable that James stays here for the night, considering that James has grown so fond of the three of you.”

“This is great, I knew something good would happen today, believe it!”

“Well I’d better be going, I will see you all tomorrow.” Kakashi said leaving the apartment.

“Well, what do my baby boys want to do now?”

“I’m not really in the mood to do anything.”

“Well I’m kind of hungry.

“I have an idea. Why don’t I make some dinner for tonight, at least try to enjoy this evening, it could be the last one we spent with James. Let’s make it the best we can.”

“You’re right Sakura, let’s enjoy this evening.”

And enjoy the evening is what they did. Sakura prepared a large meal for all of them. Even though they were worried of the outcome, it did not spoil the evening at all. After the meal, they all played with James till it was around bedtime.

Sakura got James ready for bed, and as she tucked him in, tears were flowing down her face.

“Good night James. Mommy will always love you” Sakura said crying.

Sakura walked out of the room, heading for her bedroom. Not even saying good night to the other two.

“Hey Sasuke, why didn’t Sakura say good night to us?”

“Isn’t it obvious Naruto? Sakura is upset.”

“Oh well that makes sense. But who will get us ready for bed?”

Sasuke sighed. “Get ready for bed yourself. I’m going to say good night to James. Sasuke said leaving his room, and going into James room. Sasuke walked over to James. Leaning on the crib he started down at the sleeping sound infant.

“Well James, this might be out last time together. Even though it was short and not enough time, I am glad I found you. I hope one day even, I can teach how to be a ninja. But that’s down the road. But I want you to know that I love you James. No matter what happens, I will protect you.”

James smiled in his sleep as he heard Sasuke’s voice. Before Sasuke got any more emotional, he left for his bedroom. He just wanted to go to sleep, but Naruto was still not exactly sure what to do; he stood in his room with just his diaper and was debating whether he should change it since it was just a little wet.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, annoyed about having to pay attention to a baby besides James, and threw the blonde on the bed, ripping the diaper off his body and grabbing a thicker one for the night. Without saying anything, he put it on Naruto and threw him his sleeper. After that, he just climbed into bed, too depressed to change into a sleeper as well.

Naruto sensed the mood and quietly put himself in the sleeper, climbing into bed behind the blue ninja and without any feeling of shame cuddled with him. They could both use the comfort that night. He wanted to say it was going to be okay, he wanted to comfort Sasuke, but he realized that no matter what he would say, it would only end up making things worse. They both tried to make the best of it and just tried to go to sleep, though Sasuke knew it would be it was going to be one of the worst night sleeps he had had in a long time.

Sasuke's Finding Chapter 4

Sasuke’s Finding: Chapter 4



Sasuke was in the bathroom getting ready for his shower and Sakura was seeing how James was doing. Sakura walked in the bedroom and James was kicking away on the bed.

Sakura said. “How’s my baby boy doing? Well, I think before we play, we should see if you need a change?”

Sakura removed James’s sleeper, and checked his diaper. James was still dry. “Okay, then we’re good for now. Let’s go play in the living room.” Sakura put the sleeper back on James and carried him to the living room. They went on the floor and Sakura started to play with James with a plushie, James having a blast playing with Sakura. He was smiling and laughing, and it brought great joy to Sakura. A little while later Sakura was getting thirsty. She thought about it and decided to have some milk in a bottle.

Sakura walked over to James and said: “James, mommy will be right back. I’m just going to get a drink.” Sakura went into the kitchen to get some milk in a bottle for herself. When she came back James was gone. Sakura wondered where James had gone she looked around the living room but he was gone.

When she went into the hallway she saw James sitting by the bathroom door waiting for his daddy to come out. Sakura smiled. Sasuke came out and almost tripped over him. He was a little annoyed but it subsided when he saw the innocence in James eyes. Sasuke picked up James and walked into the living room with Sakura. Sakura grabbed the bottle and proceeded to drink from it.

“Sakura, I never knew you use bottles.”

“Of course I do. After all, I am a TB.”

“You are right about that. By the way, I wonder where that idiot Naruto is.”

“Who knows? For all we know, he could be at the ramen stand.”

“I’m getting tired of waiting for him. Let’s leave him a note and leave.”

“But what about James?" We can’t just leave him here.”

“We’ll take him with us. I think it would be good for him to get some fresh air.”

“Right. I will write Naruto a note and then we can go.”

“Hey, wait a second. We are going to need some supplies for when we go out.”

“Well, do you have a diaper bag or something?”

“I have a packsack we can use. If you write the note, I will pack up the supplies.”

“Okay then.” While Sasuke was packing up the supplies, Sakura was writing a note for Naruto. “I hope this is simple enough for Naruto to read.”

“I’m ready to go Sakura.”

“So am I.” Sakura picked up James and headed out the door with Sasuke. While they were making their way down, many people stopped and looked at Sasuke and Sakura. They were wondering if they were looking at James or at them. Some did come up to them saying how cute James was. They were getting close to some stores where they could shop but were stopped dead in their tracks. It was Ino Yamanka.

“Hi there Sasuke. Oh hey Sakura. Oh Sasuke, whose cute little baby is that?”

Sasuke was getting worried. “It’s uh… my neighbor’s baby. His name is James”

“Awww, he is so cute. You know Sasuke, if you ever need a hand looking after James, I’m not busy.”

Sakura replied. “Thanks Ino, but me and Sasuke are fine looking after him. Oh, Ino, can I talk to you for a minute?”

Ino and Sakura walked away from Sasuke. ”So what do you mean you and Sasuke are looking after James?”

“I’m going out with Sasuke.” Sakura had smirk across her face.

“WHAT!?" How did you get Sasuke to go out with you!?”

“Is that jealousy I hear in your voice, Ino?”

“I don’t believe you… I’m going to ask Sasuke!”

“Go ahead. Sasuke will give the same answer.” Ino walked over to Sasuke.

“Sasuke is it true that you are going out with Sakura?”

“Yeah we are going out.” Ino’s jaw dropped to the floor.

“I… have to go. I will see you later Sasuke.” Ino walked away very saddened by the news.

“Sakura, what happened to Ino?”

“Oh, nothing. She was just surprised I was going out with you. But let’s go shopping.” So both genin went to the stores and found some clothes for James. After buying some clothes they went to the toys store. When they walked in they were greeted by the owner which Sasuke has known for a while. “Hi Sasuke, it’s been a while. And is who is this little baby boy?”

“Hi Mr. Hayabusa. This is James, my neighbor’s baby.”

“Oh he sure is a beautiful baby. I’m sure you and this lovely girl are taking good care of him.” They both blushed.

“We are doing fine. We just came down to buy some toys for him.”

“Take a look around and see if you find anything.”

Sakura and Sasuke started to see what they could find. They did find some toys and a few plushies. James though had his little eyes on a big brown teddy bear. They looked at the price tag. “Sasuke this is a little expensive. We have spent a lot of money on the clothes.

“I guess we’ll have to wait on the teddy bear.” Mr. Hayabusa came around the corner.

“Sasuke, did you say that James likes that Teddy bear?”

“Yeah, he does. But I don’t have enough money for it. I’m buying some other things for him.”

“Hmm. Tell you what. The teddy bear is on the house.”

“I can’t do that, it’s too much.”

“No, it’s fine. You are my best customer, Sasuke. And besides, he is so adorable.”

“Thank you Mr. Hayabusa.” Sasuke paid Mr. Hayabusa and started to walk back to their apartment.

“Sasuke what did he mean about you being his best customer?”

“I buy a lot of stuff from him. Where else do you think I could get baby toys in this town?”

“Oh, that explains it.” James looks very happy with his new teddy bear. They got back but noticed Naruto was still gone.

“Where is that loser Naruto?”

“Should we check his apartment?”

“Might as well.” So they went to Naruto’s place. Sure enough Naruto was walking up to his apartment door, with the crib. Sasuke screamed loudly at him.

“Naruto!” Naruto jumped.

“Where the hell have you been?”

“Sorry, I got uh… sidetracked. I got hungry so I went to the ramen stand and then I went back to my place to get the crib. I was heading to your place then I saw Iruka Sensei. So I was running back to my place so he wouldn’t see it.”

“Well, since we are here might as well stay here.”

“Sakura,” Naruto asked with a big grin, “Does that mean you’re going to baby me?”

“As soon as I ‘m done with James. Then I will baby both you and Sasuke.”

“Alright! This is going to be the best day ever, BELIEVE IT!” Sakura and Sasuke rolled their eyes. Afterwards they went into Naruto’s apartment. Naruto brought the crib into a bedroom and came back.

“So, what are you going to do with James?”

“Well, since he hasn’t had a bath yet, I thought I would give him one. Do you have a bathtub Naruto?”

“Yeah I do. Why?

“Well, that’s a surprise. I’m going to wash James in your sink.”

“Alright then. Sakura started some water in the sink. Sakura undressed James and placed him in the water. At first James was a little nervous but then he got to enjoy the water. He started giggling and splashing the water. Meanwhile Naruto was getting thirsty.

Hey Sasuke, do you want a drink? Cause if you do, I have a couple of bottles hanging around.”

“Sure. I will take milk.” Naruto came back with two bottles of milk.
Naruto passed Sasuke one of the bottles. They started to drink from the bottles, but then Naruto had an idea.

“Hey Sasuke I bet I could finish this bottle of milk before you.”

“Alright then, we see what happens. Ready… Go!” Both Sasuke and Naruto started to drink as fast as they could.

Sakura was finishing James’ bath. She pulled out a new sleeper for him, a dark green one. She powdered James, fastened James with a new diaper and put his new sleeper on. Before she went to see them, she left the jug of milk on the counter for later.

Sakura carried him towards the couch to see how her other two babies were doing. When she saw them they were still trying to see who was going finish the bottle first.

“Ugh, Boys… When you are finished, I have to ask Naruto a question.”

“What is that Sakura?”

“I need to know where I can put James down for his nap.”

“You can put him in my nursery where the crib was. “

“You have a nursery?”

“Yep. I made it that way because I thought I would be able to use it one day.”

“Thanks Naruto. When I get back, it’s you and Sasuke’s turn.” Naruto smiled.

Sakura walked to the Nursery with James and his new teddy bear. When Sakura walked into the Nursery she was overwhelmed by how good it looked. The entire room was had had wall paper with clouds on it. There was an abundance of plushies and a changing table.

“Wow. And I thought I had ideas for a nursery.” Sakura placed James down into the bed with his teddy bear. She pulled the covers up and tenderly kissed James on the forehead.

“Goodnight, James. I will see you in a little while. I have to look after your two brother’s now.” she giggled.

Sakura walked over to the bathroom. She ran some water with bubble bath. When she was done, Sakura came back to the living room where Sasuke and Naruto were sitting.

“So boys are you ready?” Sasuke and Naruto both nodded their heads.

“Okay, then follow me.” Naruto and Sasuke followed Sakura to the bathroom. When they walked in, there was a half full tub of water and bubble bath.

“So, are you going to give me a bath, mommy?” Naruto asked.

“Well, you’re close. I’m going to bathe both of you.” Sakura smiled.

Both Naruto and Sasuke screamed: “WHAT?!”

“Oh, come on you two. It’s not that bad. After all, you are both my babies.”

“I know, but I don’t want to undress in front of Sasuke!

“I don’t want Naruto seeing me naked either.”

“Alright then, if that’s the way you feel…” Sakura said, slowly approaching the boys, “I guess I will have to undress you both. And don’t try to stop me either. You wanted a mommy, you have one now. Sasuke, I’m going to start with you.”

“But sakura I…” Sasuke tried, but once he felt Sakura’s hands on his body, he did not feel the urge to fight it anymore, somehow liking the fact that she was in control of him like that, the helpless little boy.

“That’s a good baby. This will only take a moment.” Sakura started to undress Sasuke in front of Naruto. Sasuke was getting red in the face, and Naruto, being as Naruto as he always was, snickering a bit.

“This is great, Sakura undressing you.” Naruto said through his giggles.

“Just wait, loser. Sakura will be undressing you in front of me.” Naruto went dead silent. Sakura was done undressing Sasuke.

“Okay Naruto, it’s your turn.” Sakura now was undressing Naruto. Even though he liked Sakura, he was still very nervous about it. When Sakura removed his black shirt, she noticed allot of markings on his stomach but didn’t want to ask. She then removed his pants. Naruto had a full diaper.

“Naruto I need you to lay down on the floor for mommy.”

“Um alright then.” Naruto lied down on the floor. Sakura unfastened his diaper and removed it.

“Alright then you two, let’s get you cleaned up“. Sasuke and Naruto went into the tub.

Sakura picked up a cloth and started to clean Naruto. When Sakura started to clean around Naruto’s stomach he started to giggle.

“Watch it Sakura, I’m ticklish!”

“Is my baby ticklish? We’ll see just how ticklish you are.” Sakura tickled Naruto even more. Naruto was laughing uncontrollably.

“Pl-please Sakura, please stop I-I can hardly breath.” Sakura started to let up. Sasuke was smiling at what he was watching.

“I didn’t think this was going to work, but it was a great idea.”

“I’m glad you are enjoying yourself Sasuke. I will be with you in a minute.” Sakura finished cleaning up Naruto and started to work on Sasuke. Sasuke was not really ticklish but that just meant she tried all the more to make him laugh. Sasuke though was enjoying the moment. After always having been alone, he was now being babied by his girlfriend.

“Okay, I’ll just go check on James.” She said, reaching for a towel to dry her wet arms, before heading out of the room. “You can entertain each other, right?”

Naruto and Sasuke nervously looked at each other, before starting to play bashfully with the water like infants. No matter how much Sakura had tried, they still felt like two teenagers, both male, sitting naked in the same bathtub. It just did not feel right. At least, until Sasuke accidentally brushed the other boy’s foot and made him giggle. Within seconds, they were playing like toddlers, completely oblivious of the other’s lack of clothing, having the fun that brothers were supposed to have.

“Alright boys, you are done.” Both genin got out of the tub, still giggling from their play. Sakura handed them both a towel.

“Naruto, could you get me some changing supplies for mommy while Sasuke and I wait for you in the living room?”

“Ok mommy.” Naruto went to do as he was told while Sasuke and Sakura waited for him with their clothes. Naruto came back with some diapers and a bottle of baby powder.

“So who wants to go first?” Naruto stepped forward.

“I will go first.”

“Alright then Naruto. Will you lay down on the floor for mommy? Naruto laid on the floor. Sakura opened the diaper, lifted Naruto’s leg and slid the diaper under him. She then powdered him and fastened the diaper.

“All done Naruto. Now it’s your turn Sasuke.” With hesitation Sasuke laid down on the floor. Sakura went through the same process with Sasuke and in no time he was just as padded as his brother. Sakura handed both of them their shirts. They put on the shirts but they were both short enough to see their diapers.

“So, what’s next Mommy?” Naruto asked.

“Well I thought I would give you both some milk and put you down for a nap.”

“But why? We aren’t that sleepy.”

“Well, I though since we all did so much running around today, and I thought a nap would be good. And warm milk will make you sleepy. You two wait here. I’m going to get some milk. Sakura filled up two bottles of warm and came back and handed to them. They both finished the bottle I no time. Naruto was still awake but Sasuke was getting tired.

“How do you feel boys?”

“I think I’m going to need at least another bottle.” Naruto said.

“Same with me,” Even though Sasuke was pretty tired. Sakura went back to fill another two bottles of milk. After the second bottle of milk both Sasuke and Naruto and Sasuke looked very tired.

“So, are you two ready for your nap?”

“Yes… We are.” they both said

Alright then, take mommy’s hand and we’ll put you bed. Sasuke and Naruto took Sakura’s hands and they went to the bedroom. While Naruto and Sasuke got into bed, Sakura picked up a plushie and a pacifier for them. She first put a pacifier in Sasuke’s mouth and gave him a plushie to cuddle with, before she kissed him on the forehead.

“Goodnight, my love. Sweet dreams.” Sasuke tried to speak but was too tired to do so. Sakura now went to over to Naruto. Naruto was already sound asleep when she came over. She did place his pacifier in his mouth and gave him a plushie to cuddle with. She also kissed him on the forehead. Naruto smiled a bit in his sleep. Sakura pulled the blanket over them and shut the door.

Sakura went into the living and wondered what she could do. So she thought while the three were napping, she would do some training. She would just have to be careful not to wake any of her three babies.

End of chapter 4

Sasuke's Finding Chapter 3

Sasuke’s Finding: Chapter 3

It was about 11 am at Sasuke’s apartment. James was still asleep in the bedroom. Sasuke was still sleeping in Sakura’s lap. Sakura was so tired that she fell asleep as well. Sakura woke a little later, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. There was knocking at the door. Worried who it might be, she responded quickly.

“Sasuke, wake up.”

“Hmm? What… what is it?”

“Someone’s at the door.”

“What! Who could that be?”

Sasuke got up from the couch, still in his diaper and his house coat.

“Sakura, could you hide the bottle?”

Sakura went into another room to hide the bottle while Sasuke walked over to the door and opened it. Naruto was standing on the other side.

“Um… hi, Sasuke.”

“What do you want, Naruto?”

“Well, I was wondering if Sakura was here.”

“And why do you care?”

“Just tell me if she’s here!”

Sakura came around the corner. She came to the front door and placed her arm on Sasuke’s shoulder.

“Oh, hi Sakura. I was wondering, since Kakashi is sick, I thought maybe you would like to spar a bit with me?”

“I would Naruto, but I can’t. I’m little bit busy.”

“Oh… okay then.” Naruto looked disappointed… until he noticed something on the couch.

“Hey, Sasuke, is that a baby diaper on the couch over there?”

“Uh… Um… A friend of mine was over last night with his child and must have left it here.”

“Alright then, but what about that bottle of baby formula on the kitchen counter?”

Sakura stepped in. “Sasuke, I think we should just tell him.”

“No! I don’t want to tell him! He’ll blurt it out to whoever he sees.”

“Come on Sasuke, how long have we been a squad now? We shouldn’t keep secrets from each other.”

“Alright, Naruto, I will show you our secret, but you need to promise to tell us yours in return.”

“Alright then. Now I want to hear this secret of yours, BELIEVE IT!”

Sasuke sighed. ”I can’t believe I’m saying this, but come on in Naruto.”

Naruto walked into Sasuke’s apartment, eagerly awaiting to hear what Sasuke’s secret was.

“So what is it? Tell me!”

“Follow us.”

Naruto followed Sasuke into the bedroom. When Naruto walked into the room he saw James lying in the bed, hugging his plushie in his arms. Naruto’s jaw dropped.

“I-I can’t believe this. Sakura, when did you have a baby?”

Sakura’s fist landed on Naruto’s head.

He screamed. “Ow!!! What the hell was that for!?”

“You idiot Naruto! That’s not MY baby! Sasuke found James in an alley last night.”

“Oh that explains everything.” Naruto said simply, more than eager to accept the explanation given by the beautiful pink haired girl. “So, what are you going do to with him?”

“Sakura and I are going to take care of James.”

”Are you serious!? You can’t look after a baby.”

Sasuke was getting mad. “If you can’t be helpful, Naruto, then just keep quiet.”

“Sasuke, he didn’t mean that, now did you, Naruto?”

“I guess… I didn’t? I’m sorry, Sasuke.”

“By the way, Naruto, what is your secret?” Sasuke smiled at Naruto.

”Uh…. I don’t really have a secret, hehe. Well, I’d better go. I’ll see you later.”

Naruto was about to leave the room. “Hold on.” Sasuke said, walking to Naruto. “I’m only going to tell you this once.”

Sasuke grabbed Naruto’s shirt and pulled him closer.

“Don’t tell anyone about James. You hear me Naruto?!”

Sasuke suddenly heard an odd crinkle coming from Naruto’s pants. Sasuke looked down, and saw a bit of white sticking out of there, over the blonde’s muscular tummy.

“Naruto... you’re wearing a diaper.”

Naruto’s face went red. Naruto tried to speak, but was frozen with fear.

Sasuke smiled. “I can’t believe this.”

“Well Sasuke, you are wearing a diaper too.” Sakura added. Sasuke went silent after that. Naruto stopped trembling and started to speak.

“What? You mean you wear diapers as well?”

Sakura said “We all do. Guess we are all equal now.” She smiled.

“So, why do you and Sasuke wear diapers?”

“Hold on, Naruto. Before me and Sasuke tell you, you must tell us why you wear diapers.”

“Well, this is hard to say, but I’m incontinent.“

“You’re incontinent?” Sasuke asked.

“Yes, I am. Ever since I was born I have been incontinent. It was hard enough being alone, but then having this weight on my shoulders made it even worse. So, Sasuke, are you and Sakura incontinent to?”

Sasuke started to freeze up with worry. “I uh… You see…” he sighed as he gave up his defenses. “What’s the use hiding it anymore? I told Sakura, so I might as well tell you as well. Naruto, have you ever heard of infantilism?”

“Yes, actually, I have…” he said, turning a bit more red than he should be.

“I’m an infantilist. I kind of like to act like a baby, even wearing diapers and such. And so does Sakura.”

Naruto was shocked. “No way! You are both Teen babies?”

Both Sasuke and Sakura replied: “Yes.”

“I have something to tell you both. I am a TB/DL too. You two are the only ones that know this. I have never told a soul before.”

Sasuke asked: “Why did you tell us then?”

“I wanted to tell you for two reasons. One, I want to stop hiding this from everyone. And two, I was hoping… someone could baby me sometime.”

“Naruto, I will make you a deal.” Sakura said.

“What is it?”

“I will baby you just like Sasuke if you help us look after James. Deal?”

“Deal! I will do whatever you want me to do.”

“Well, we are going to need a few things for James. A crib would be a good start.”

“I have a crib at my apartment.” Naruto said simply.

“You have a crib at you apartment? Why?”

“I… um… have it in case if after someone helped me with my genjutsu, I would be able to turn into a baby and use it for a bit. But since James needs it, he can have it. I’ll go pick it up from my apartment.”

“Thanks a lot, Naruto.” Sakura smiled. Naruto walked out of Sasuke’s apartment to get the crib.

“Sakura, I’m worried about Naruto.”

“What are you worried about? He is going help us look after James.”

“Yeah, that is true. But what if he tells someone?”

“He won’t. Besides, you told him he would be dead if he did.”

“I guess you’re right.” He said, before laughing. “Now you will have three babies to look over.”

“Even though I will have one more baby, you and James are still my real baby babies.”

“So what are we going to do when Naruto gets back?”

”Well, I thought we could go shopping. James needs some clothes and some more food.”

“That sounds good. Now I’m just going to take a shower before we have to go.”

“Alright. Then I’m going to see how James is doing.”

Sasuke's Finding Chapter 2

Sasuke's Finding: Chapter 2

The next morning, Sasuke woke up from the best sleep he had ever experienced. Sasuke went to see how his baby boy was doing. James was still asleep sucking on his pacifier, and cuddling the plushie he had given him. Carefully getting out of bed to not wake up the baby, the padded ninja walked over to his window with his Plushie and pacifier to see the sun rise.

But instead of watching the sun rise alone, he had his baby boy with him. It was going to be another beautiful day in the village. However Sasuke had other things on his mind. He still had baby James at his apartment and Sasuke was thinking out loud about his problem.

“I want to give James to the proper authorities but I’m worried about what might happen to him there. And just keeping him here is impossible, since someone will see him here. I don’t know what to do…” Staring at the sleeping infant Sasuke started to well up with tears.

“I will have to think about what I’m going to do. I hope I make the right choice.”

About 2 hours later there was a knock at Sasuke’s door.

“Who could that be now? Someone must have seen me take James out of the alley but who?”

Sasuke was panicking about what he could throw on. After finding a blue house coat, he threw his pacifier and his plushie on the bed, and answered the door. It was the one and only Sakura Haruno. “Good morning Sasuke.”

“Sakura… I was not expecting you this morning”

“I came by to let you know that Kakashi is sick so our training day is cancelled.” Sakura started to sniff a bit, and smelt a scent of baby powder in the air. “Um Sasuke, do you smell baby powder?”

“Oh that.” Sasuke was getting nervous. My neighbor from next door just had a baby and came over to show me last night.”

“That’s strange; I thought you didn’t like kids?”

“I don’t really, but she was excited so I couldn’t exactly tell her to go”

With a big grin Sakura said: “Oh Sasuke, your always being so thoughtful of someone else.”

“Well I try… if you don’t mind Sakura I’m kind of busy at the moment… Before Sasuke could ask Sakura to leave, James started to moan, wondering where his daddy had gone.

At hearing the baby moaning Sakura ran into Sasuke’s room and saw the black haired infant laying the bed. Sakura turned around staring at the frozen genin standing in the door way. “Um Sakura… I can… explain this.” Sakura just smiled and ran over to hug Sasuke and say “Oh Sasuke you’re a daddy!”

When she let go of Sasuke The house coat came undone exposing Sasuke’s diaper. Sasuke face became deep red from embarrassment. “I can’t believe this. Sasuke Uchiha is wearing a diaper?” Sasuke was frozen. Unfortunately from the shock, Sasuke began to wet himself, and started to have tears run down his face from nervousness.

Sakura walk over to Sasuke and put her arm around him. “It’s ok my wittle Sasuke, do you want mommy to change you diaper for you?

” The sniffling Uchiha replied “pwease“. With a wide smile on Sakura’s face she said

“Alright then come into the bedroom so I can change you.”


Sasuke walked into the bedroom still trembling from having his secret just found out, even harder because he had a crush on Sakura. Sasuke showed Sakura the supplies she needed to change him. After laying down on the changing mat, Sakura got to work. She removed the wet diaper. cleaned him, then powdering him, then she fastened a new diaper. “Ok my baby Sasuke, you are done.”

Sasuke was surprised at how good she was at changing diapers. He started to think maybe even Sakura wears diapers. Sakura was staring at Sasuke, looking at how cute her crush looked padded up. Sakura was wondering if she should tell Sasuke about her little secret. Now it was James’s turn. Sakura walked to the black haired infant. She said “Ok let’s see how daddy’s little boy is doing.“

Sakura Removed James’s sleeper, and checked his diaper. “Oh, we got a messy baby.” Sakura removed the messy diaper and began cleaning James’s bottom. In a few minutes, James was cleaned up, powdered and was in a fresh diaper. After placing James back in his sleeper, she started to tickle James and say “Baby looks just like daddy!”

James started to giggle while Sakura and Sasuke just smiled away. Sakura picked up James and made a motion to talk to Sasuke in the living room. The diapered ninja walked into the living room with Sakura. Sakura sat on the couch, cradling James in her arms. Sasuke sat on the couch pretty much quiet.

“Sasuke I have a question to ask… where did you find this baby?”

Sasuke replied: “I was walking home last night; I heard a sound like something crying. After walking into the alley I found this infant being soaked from the rain. There was no one around to help James and I couldn’t just leave him there, so I took James home and brought him the supplies he needed.”

Sakura started to have tears roll down her eyes. “Oh Sasuke, you are a great person for doing this. Are you going to bring James to the authorities?”

Sasuke changed his expression. “I have been having second thoughts about giving him up.”

“What? Why wouldn’t you? And besides you’re only a kid, you don’t have the experience to look after a baby.”

Sasuke looked a little annoyed at Sakura. “You want to know why I want to keep this child. When I saw James in that alley I had a flask back when my brother Itachi killed my entire clan and my family. I had no one to comfort me. The only thing I had was my diapers, my plushies, and my pacifiers to comfort me in my time of mourning. I live with so much pain, hardening my heart. But always diapers were the only thing that made me happy, and also being a baby. When I walked home that night and I saw James in that alley my heart changed, I wanted to make sure he wouldn’t be alone like I was. That’s why I want to keep him, to make sure he’s not alone. Sasuke was starting to tremble a bit in his voice. Excuse me Sakura.”

Sasuke stood up and walked into his bedroom. A few seconds later Sakura laid James down on the couch and went to see how Sasuke was. Sakura walked over to the door. She saw Sasuke sitting on his bed with a pacifier in his mouth and clenching his plushie against his chest and was crying heavily.

Sakura sat next to Sasuke and wrapped Sasuke in her arms. Sasuke continued to cry in Sakura’s arms. She said: “It’s okay baby, you can let it out. I’m always here for you Sasuke, and if you need help looking after James I will help out anyway I can.”

Sasuke started to dry his eyes. “Y-You mean it Sakura?”

“Of course Sasuke. Besides I have something’s to tell you. I am… A TB/DL.”

Sasuke was floored. “What? You are just like me then. How long have you had a liking for diapers or even bottles, pacifiers and plushies?”

“I have always had feelings for diapers and for all other baby items. I never told a soul about my secret. For so long I was ashamed of what I am. But now I embrace it. I also got one more thing to tell you. I love you Sasuke. I have always been in love with you. I wanted to get to know you more but I didn’t want you to see my TB side. But now since you are also a TB/DL, it’s perfect.”

“Um Sakura… I have something also tell you. I am also in love with you. “

Sakura had a huge smile.

“I wanted to tell you but I didn’t want you to see who I am. But since you are like me it doesn’t really matter. My last question is will you go out with me?”

Without hesitation Sakura said “Of course I will go out with you Sasuke!”

The Black haired genin had a large smile across his face. A few minutes after, the baby was crying.

Sakura turned to Sasuke. “Um Sasuke, when did you last feed James?”

“I fed him last night before I went to bed.”

“Poor boy, he must be hungry. Could you tell me where his formula is?”

Sasuke pointed to the counter. Sakura went to prepare the formula and Sasuke went to cradle the young infant in his arms. After a few minutes Sakura was back with the formula. Sasuke handed over James to Sakura. James was cradled in her arms and was very much enjoying being fed by Sakura. In no time at all the bottle was empty and James was getting sleepy.

“Oh is mommy’s little boy tired? Well we should put you down for a nap then“.

Sakura carried James to the bed and placed him on it. With a kiss on the forehead, she said: “Good night James, we will see you later.”

What seemed like seconds later, James drifted off to sleep and Sakura went back into the living room but noticed that her new boyfriend looked upset.

“Sasuke, is everything alright?”

“Um Sakura, can I ask you something?”

“Sure, what would you like to ask me?”

With a red face he asked his love. “Could you feed me with a bottle?”

“I would love to do that for you.“

Sasuke had a wide smile across his face. Sakura went into the kitchen to fill up a bottle of cold milk for Sasuke. After a few minutes she came back with a full baby bottle of formula.

She first sat on the couch and laid Sasuke in her lap and then began feeding him. Sasuke never looked so happy and Sakura enjoyed babying her new love. In a few minutes Sasuke was done drinking the milk and fell asleep in Sakura’s lap. Sakura began to gently ruffle Sasuke’s hair.

With a quiet voice she said to the padded genin.

“Good night Sasuke, I love you“.

In sakura’s mind she wondered: “I wonder what Ino is going to think when she finds out I’m going out with Sasuke? Better yet how are we going to train without Kakashi knowing about James? Well I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it.”

Bully Rehab Chapter 1

This is my first ever sleepy story. Hope you enjoy it. Oh. This story has no editor. Just me doing all the corrections.



Bully Rehab: Chapter 1



Josh was 14 year old boy that grew up in a not so bad place to raise a family. In fact most of everyone was close friends. The problem was with Josh he stood out like a sore thumb. Josh even though he was 14 years old, he was trouble for a good portion of elementary and junior high, bad for his victims that had to endure from kindergarten till grade 9. He spent allot years tormenting and teasing children with humiliating antics. Ocassionally the antics got physical some times, ranging from a punch to sometimes massive bruises. Most kids transferred or just barely came to school being in mortal fear of him.


Josh just finished another day of tormenting and humiliating kids younger than him. As he was making his way home but decided to get some games and pick up a pocket warmer of whisky from an older buddy of his.

“So what did home boy do today?” He asked grinning at his buddy Josh, passing him the bottle of whisky

“Oh you know, just the usual. Torment the weaker then I am.”

“Yeah that does sound like you. But be careful man, it might come back to bite you in the ass.”

“Ha! Who do you think be stupid enough to face me?” Josh said being way over confident about himself, as he really thought he was a force to be reckoned with. Josh was one of these kids that he thought he was a real tough as he wore white sneakers, black baggy jeans, a red hoodie, with a white base ball cap covering his short black hair. His white muscle shirt was a common trademark for him to wear. It seemed to make blue eyes stand out.

“Alright man but just saying what goes around comes around.”

“Yeah yeah I know. Listen I got to get home and hide this whisky. “

“Alright man, see ya soon.”

Before Josh went home, he went to the local video store to pick up some games then walked with a smile as he got near the home. Both cars were gone. This gave Josh time to go to hide his alcohol.

Josh walked inside seeing a small note on the counter. Josh picked up and it read ‘Dear Josh. Me and dad have some business to do. Be back tomorrow. Love mom, XOXOXO.’

“Ah sweet! Now I can just whatever I want to do now. Maybe I will stay up late or maybe find some kids to tease and make them cry.” He said in his mind but had a visible smile across his face.

A few minutes later Josh brought his system down to the living room where he hooked up his machine to the big screen TV. After getting everything set up perfectly it was time to play some games. Not worrying he had a bottle of whisky in his pocket.

While Josh was playing his games a young woman about in her twenties was ascending to the house. The woman was very pretty. She had short blonde hair, blue eyes, and a black leather trench coat that went past her knees. She wore black baggy jeans and a black top. Jade also brought an extremely large bag with her but she left it to the side of the door. Jade smiled and rang the door.

It took a few times before Josh even had the idea to go answer the door. He kept thinking whoever it was would come back tomorrow. After the 15th time the door bell rang. Josh became frustrated and answering the door screaming “What!?...Oh…Um…I uh…Didn’t mean to shout.” he said seeing how pretty she was.

“Oh that’s ok. I know it’s been a long day for me too. But anyway my name is Jade. I am looking for a Josh Payne.”

“I am Josh Payne.

“Oh my my, what a handsome boy you are. She said smiling at him.”

“T-Thank you he said with a wide grin. Um…Was there something you need?”

“Oh yes, I am a friend of your mom. She said I should come over and babysit you for the night.”

Soon Josh’s smile turns to an angry frown. “I don’t need a baby sitter! I am 14 years old!!”

“My my what a temper you have you Josh”

“I don’t care about my temper! And I don’t need a baby sitter!”

Jade brought her arm to see the time. Her watch was directly up by Josh’s face. “Josh do you know what time it is?”

“Why would I even care??” Josh said still being extremely mad.

“Well sweety, it’s time for you to relax. Before Josh could even react, the cloud of pink candy smelling sleeping gas hit his face from Jade’s watch. The gas smelt so good and the cloud stayed at his face, plus Jade was holding him in place. In a matter of seconds Josh felt warm and sleepy feeling, not resisting at all.

“Awww I’m glad to see you my lullaby gas works so well, now let’s get you inside the house and get my pwecious baby in a nice cozy diaper.” She said grabbing the bag and gently bringing him onto the floor.

Even though Josh was extremely mad a few seconds ago, he was now wrapped in a warm and sleepy haze. It’s something he had never felt before, having a feeling of soft relaxation calming him down. Jade removed his pants and undies humming. Josh being as sleepy as he was, he did say little things. “pwetty…v..voice…”

“Awww Thank you Josh. ” She said as slid a diaper under his bum. The soft padding felt nice under Josh but was so tired almost anything would make him happy. Jade powdered him and taped the diaper up snug. The diaper was not ordinary diapers found in store. These were custom made diapers with baby prints found on baby diapers, but with a nice little phrase on the front and back “mommy’s little stinker.”

“Does Josh like his new diaper wiaper?” Jade asked like she was talking to a baby.

“Yess…Josh said in a low tone of voice.”

“Oh that’s great to hear my little stinker.” She said laying him on the couch and wrapping him in a soft baby blanket.

“Wha…what's…go…ing…happen…” Josh said struggling to get his words out of his mouth.

“Well for being such a wonderfully behaved baby, your reward is a nice long nap. Sweet dreams baby Josh” she said as she Gave Josh a big dose of sleeping gas from a gas can from her belt. Josh soon fell into a deep sleep but continued to inhale the sweet smelling gas.

Jade waited till the pink cloud evaporated and walked over to her slumbering baby boy. Jade gently picked him up and the bag then went out side,closing the front door before going to her car. Jade gently lays him down onto the back seat of her car. To make sure he stays quiet she gently pops in a paci. But Jade wasn’t worried, Josh would be sleeping soundly for about three hours. Jade casually got in her car, sat down and put her bag on the other seat as made her way home. After a easy catch with Josh, she turned her stereo on and played some metal music on the way home. “Don’t worry Josh…Mommy is going to take very good of you.

Sasuke's Finding Chapter 1

Ok. This is a diaper story I created way back. This is still being worked on. My friend Ben helped me make it. Anyway the story. This is based off the manga/anime show Naruto. The story goes with sasuke finding a abandoned baby. Ofcourse my story is just more then baby sitting. But I don't want to spoil anything. Oh and before I post my story chapter, you will see a name posted that is not a anime name. If you may ask its a name that is based off somone close I knew. Well here is sasuke's Finding Chapter 1.


Sasuke's Finding: Chapter  1
It was a rainy day in the village of Konoha . Sasuke had just finished a day of training and had started walking to his apartment. One big thing was on Sasuke’s mind as he was going home: to put on a diaper, cuddle with a plushie, and suck on a pacifier as he slowly drifted to sleep.

But a weird sound snapped him out of his mental picture. He overheard what sounded like something crying in the alley way. Curious, he walked in the alley way and found a young baby lying in a card boarded box, wearing a baby blue sleeper and covered with a small baby blanket, being drenched by the rain. He quickly grabbed the black haired baby boy and held him close to his body. This time of night nobody would be able to help them, so he had no choice but to take the baby home with him. He quickly made a dash to his home, getting both the baby and himself out of the cold rain.

When he got home, he noticed the huge problem he had. The baby’s sleeper was completely soaked from the rain and the cold had left him shivering uncontrollably. Trying to warm the baby up, Sasuke removed the wet clothing, and then his diaper, and placed the infant in a warm bath to raise his temperature. He kept a close eye on him, rubbing his skin and trying to comfort him until he finally stopped shivering.

Relieved that the boy now seemed okay, he lifted him up out of the tub and dried him off, trying to find some clothes to put on him. He found one of Naruto's black t-shirts lying around, which the dope must have left last time they had sparred together. Getting to return it drenched in urine was enough incentive to wrap it around the baby's crotch as an improvised diaper. The sleeper he had left over the heater seemed to have dried and the child was happily smiling as he was lifted back into his familiar outfit, comfortably warm.

Sasuke held the infant close and the close snuggle caused a cute giggle from the boy, before he placed a small kiss on the ninja's nose.

But then seconds later he started to cry again. Sasuke wasn’t to sure what to do with this loudmouthed thing. He thought about it and finally laid him down on the couch with one of his pacifiers in the baby’s mouth and plushie in his tiny arms. The baby, though still sniffling, was too exhausted to stay awake, and while cuddling and sucking, he fell asleep.

Sasuke petted the youth's hair. "I know it's only for a day, but I'm going to need some stuff to take care of you..." He said, softly, afraid to wake him up. “I have to get some baby stuff, definitely. And whatever's left, I can always use myself.” He grinned at his own remark before quickly getting ready to go out, a few minutes later going to the local store.

Sasuke was a little nervous of running into someone he knew, but was determined to get what he needed no matter what. He stepped down into the baby aisle and got some baby diapers and some formula. Then Sasuke got some diapers for himself. When he walked to checkout counter he was still nervous, a small blush on his cheek every time he turned around and thought he saw a pink or orange ninja walking by. As soon as it was all packaged up, he paid the bill and quickly ran home with the supplies.

When Sasuke got home, the baby was just the way he had left him. Lying on the couch with his plushie in his arms, and the pacifier in his mouth. Sasuke went to see if he needed a change. Sure enough the t-shirt was soaking wet and it had even leaked on the couch a bit. He was glad he had thought of putting a towel or two under him.

Sasuke gently picked up the young baby and placed him on his kitchen counter to change him. He removed the wet black cloth and threw it in a bag to be delivered to a certain blonde's house later. He cleaned him, powdered him and then placed a new diaper on. Sasuke enjoyed the cute sight of the boy in a padding for a few seconds until eventually the baby woke up and started crying, remembering his earlier need.

“Don't you worry, little guy. I think I know what you want.“

As quickly as he could, he prepared a full bottle of formula. Sasuke cradled the young baby as he started feeding him the formula. The baby sucked so sweetly that Sasuke was starting to have second thought of turning him into the proper authorities the next day. One more day couldn't hurt, right?

After the bottle was empty, the baby was full and started to drift off to sleep again in Sasuke’s slowly moving arms. Sasuke looked down at him and gently ruffled his black hair.

“Well, I don't know what your mother used to call you, but I think I can think of something myself. Maybe James. Yeah, I like that name. James... Uchiha.” He smiled at the sound of a second Uchiha, before yawning from fatigue.

The tired genin carried Ronin towards his bed, and placed the sleeping baby down on it. Now that he was done taking care of him, it was time for some attention to himself, which the stressed ninja had earned. Sasuke went to his closet to pull out a diaper and quickly padded up. He grabbed a pacifier and a plushie and then went to the bed. Before Sasuke went to lie down beside him, equally childish, he kissed James on the forehead.

“Good night James.”

After saying these words, the young genin went to bed and fell asleep within seconds while cuddling the infant, about to have the best night's sleep he had ever had.
