Broken

Chapter 29: The Change

After getting everything finished with the authorities, Naruto just wanted to stay in bed. He didn't even want to go near the couch until they bought a new one. It would have to wait though. Walking past the den where he could hear Itachi talking on the phone to someone in the company, he smirked before it fell into an emotionless line.

"Naruto are you hungry?" Itachi asked, walking out of the room with his hand running through his bangs.

"A little." Naruto answered with his eyes falling onto the Uchiha that was taller then him. They had to listen to Maiko apologize to them repeatedly because of what Sasuke did to him. Following the long-haired man into the kitchen, he took in the aroma of what they had for breakfast as it lingered.

"What would you like?" Itachi asked, opening the door to the refrigerator and looking at the somber blond. He didn't blame him for acting like that but he hoped Naruto would snap out of it soon.

"Get some mayo out along with bologna." Naruto said, pulling out a loaf of bread with two slices coming out of the bag. Setting them on the counter, he put the bag filled with bread in the bread box and took what the Uchiha offered.

Walking over, he hugged the blond tenderly, looking at him and hoping that he would return to his old self. Pecking his cheek quickly, he saw a flicker of emotion in the sapphire eyes but that was it.

"Let's go see your parents." Itachi suggested as the Uzumaki took a bite from the sandwich he had.

"Fine with me." Naruto shrugged, walking out of the kitchen to the living room where he flopped down into the chair with the television turning on.

"Let's go." Itachi urged, putting on his sandals and grabbing the keys where they hung. Watching the blond, he walked over uncaring, put on his own sandals and strolled out of the house. Sighing, he closed the door and locked it. This is going to be a long day for him.

It remained silent in the car for the dark-eyed man as he glanced at the azure eyed teen who stared out the window. He still did it when they got into the drive way with Ichijo and Kyuubi running out the door to greet them.

"Is he still the same?" Minato asked Itachi, glancing at his son who walked into the house without acknowledging their pets.

"Yeah. I have a few questions for you." Itachi said, getting out of the car and picking up the calico cat that purred happily in his arms. Leaning against the car, he saw Kushina come into view. "How can Naruto have children? He told me what happened."

"He did. I'm actually surprised he did but he does surprise everyone with something." Kushina said, astonished at the words then licked her lips a little. "We didn't really go into it since it didn't concern us but he has fertile peaks like a woman. He doesn't menstruate like a woman but he does have those periods of higher hormones.

"I'm only guessing on this but with his case since he's male, actually I don't know. He might have it to where it's in his ass. I don't know. Like I said, we didn't go into it. We should have but didn't." Kushina described as she itched her cheek. "Why do you ask?"

"I just wanted to know because since he's told me and this shit happened. I'm worried that he might be . . . pregnant." Itachi paused, not wanting to say the word but had to.

"Well this might sound weird but we have a few extra pregnancy tests in the house. He could use them if we can get him to." Kushina said, pointing to the door as she felt the bushy tail of the orange fox.

Nodding, Itachi walked toward the house, feeling the urge to tell Naruto to do it. Biting his lip, he opened the door to see the blond curled up on the couch, staring at the tv. Squatting down, the Uchiha ran his hand across the blond's forehead and smiled. "Naruto can you do something for me?"
