We're getting closer and closer to Mabel since our journey but right now we are resting. We're close and yet all we are doing is sitting around a camp fire and just being lazy bums. I sigh as I sat near the fire embracing the warmth it is given. I know I shouldn't talk bad, I know it is just me wanting to be with Mabel. "Thank you all for helping me get Mabel back." I said ruining the silence.

Everyone stop what they were doing and stared at Choji. "She's also our friend Choji and we are happy to help. " Naruto said.

"He's right Choji. Akamaru and I have been good friends with her especially since she's really good with dogs." Kiba said.

"She's like a little sister to me, so of course I'm going to help. She's a troublesome girl but at least she's my troublesome girl. She told me once that I better find a troublesome woman and to make sure she's my only troublesome girl. It's a drag I won't lie but she's family." Shikamaru said.

I felt happy knowing that they care about Mabel and knowing I'm not forcing, nor the Hokage, to do this mission. "Thank you all. We should go to sleep, tomorrow we have to get up early and follow the trail." Choji said.

They all seem to nod and lay at their chosen spots as my mind drifted off towards Mabel. I lay on the ground as I think to myself, I could be a father. It's very possible, I remember we didn't use protection when we express our love. It was at the moment and through everything we didn't think things through so it's possible that Mabel could be pregnant. It could also mean that I could be a father. I pray to the Gods that Mabel is fine and isn't hurt at all. I want her to be with me, I want her in my arms where it's safe. I miss her scent and her beautiful smile. The way she would laugh at all my terrible jokes, her face always brightening up whenever she sees me, the way she always has food on the table without me telling her, and the way she would always tell me she loves me, to be lucky to have me.

I miss her so much it hurts and I know it's not her fault but I can't help but feel like it was her fault as well. I just feel empty inside whenever she isn't with me. If she is pregnant I want us to be together through everything and to be a family. I want to marry Mabel and make sure she is my wife. She'll have her own restaurant and make people happy with her cooking. If she could make me the happiest man alive I'm sure she can do that with her cooking as well. I should go to sleep, I don't want to be sleepy when I see her.

It feels cold laying on the ground here, to be honest I'm not feeling too well. I instantly rub my belly knowing that Choji's child is here with me. I'm fine as long as I know I have something from Choji with me. Yet it's not the same and I miss Choji a lot. I wish he can just come find me and take me back home where I can lay in his arms and feel safe. I want him to know that I have been blessed with his child and to know that I am so happy to be with him. I should have never left but I wanted Sasuke to feel the same things like I did. I felt a little sick, feeling like my stomach has turned against me. I quickly ran out of the cave heading towards a place where I can vomit. I soon found bush emptying out my dinner on the ground. I feel myself shedding tears as my stomach empty itself. I felt myself breathing heavily and felt my knees feel weak. Shaking to the point that I couldn't stand anymore. "Are you okay?" Jugo asked walking behind me.

I couldn't speak since all I wanted to do was breathe here and get my energy back up. I felt really cold yet I was sweating so much. I suddenly felt Jugo's hand on my forehead and I sigh in relief at how cold it was. "You have a really high fever. I should get Sauske." He said

I felt myself gently raise my hand having a difficult time as I lay it on Jugo's arm catching his attention. I shook my head no, not wanting to be a bother to Sauske. "I'm taking you back into the cave. Then I'm a go get Sasuke and the others because you're too sick." Said Jugo.

He gently pick me up bridal style and started to walk back to the Cave. I lay my head gently on his chest feeling really weak. I gently put my hands on my stomach feeling a littleWorried about my child. When we got to the cave he gently put me down to grab the blanket and wrap that around me. "Stay here, I'll go find the others and bring them here." Said Jugo.

I felt myself breathing heavily and too weak to do anything so I just payed here trying to keep my breathing steady. Soon enough he left me here alone and I felt myself panic a little.

I quickly ran towards where SaSike and the others are knowing if I don't tell Sasuke I will be punished greatly. I felt myself pushing harder and harder going faster in order to get Sasuke. I knew I need to find Sasuke quick because she might not have that much time.

Sauske's

My group and I are camping near the target. As soon as we get this guy he could have all the answers that we could find about where Itachi is. I just hope Mabel is doing fine with Jugo. I Shouldn't be thinking about this, after this night we will get this man. The man that knows where Itachi is. We are so close and soon enough I will get my revenge on my clan. "Sasuke I feel someone's chakra coming towards. It's very faint so I don't know who it is but it might be Jugo." Karin said.

I got up straight and look at the direction Karin pointed at. Could it actually be Jugo and if so why is he here? Did something happen to Mabel? "Let's go." I said.

"Are you serious Sasuke! We just got here!" Suigetsu complained.

I stared at him with my fierce eyes making him flinch. "Okay let's go." He said.

We all ran towards the chakra wondering if it could really be Jugo. "Karin can you tell us who's chakra it is clearly?" I said.

"I'm sorry Sasuke but we're too far to clearly tell." Karin said making me frustrated.

I ran faster worried that something bad could have happen to Mabel or this chakra could just be someone from the leaf. It doesn't matter it's better to be safe than sorry, especially if it could be about Mabel. "Karin?" I asked

"Um yes, it's Jugo's chakra for sure." She said.

"Why is Jugo coming towards us?" Suigetsu asked.

"Maybe something happen to Mabel." Karin said in a serious voice.

Soon enough I stopped in front of a panting, breathless Jugo. "Jugo where is Mabel?" I asked.

"She's really......sick Sasuke. She.....needs....medical attention now. She could die." Jugo said getting his breathe at the end.

I quickly took off towards the cave worried about how Mabel is doing. How could he just leave her alone? He will be punished but what if he waited and she didn't make it? Tch whatever as long as I get to Mabel that is what matters now.

I finally made it to the cave and I see Mabel laying on the floor with a blanket on her. She's breathing heavily and she's drenched in sweat. I sat next to her and felt her head for her temperature. "Sasuke we have to get her medical attention quick or else she might not make it." Karin said.

I nodded at her and gently picked up Mabel in my arms. I felt her cuddle next to me as I walk out the cave. "Choji...." I hear her faintly say.

At this moment I knew what I had to do. I was being selfish and thought she could be the key to help us but the truth was I just needed my little sister with me. "Karin, where are the leaf ninjas at?" I said.

"Sasuke your not planning on giving her up are you?" She asked.

"Karin where are they?" I said a little harsher.

I saw her flinch as she looked at Jugo and Suigetsu. "I'll lead you to them. They're not that far from here." She said.

I follow her as went towards the direction to where the leaf ninjas are. I think it's about time Mabel goes back and have a normal life. Especially now that she's starting to have a family of her own. That's one of the biggest things she ever wanted. A family. I'm just gonna miss her so much. She's like a sister that I never had and I always felt like I needed to protect her. Especially from Orochimaru and his goon. This might be the last time I see her and I may never meet her kid but I know that she will be happy. "Sasuke..." I hear a weak voice.

I look down and see Mabel awake. I smiled at her as I hugged her tight. "You're going home Mabel." I said. "Just hang on and everything will be fine." I finished

She smiled at me as she raise her warm hand on my cold cheeks. "You're the best brother I ever had. I'm sorry for being a bother." She said.

"No" I almost choked on the tears that wanted to fall. "I was being selfish and wanted you to be with me. I didn't want to be lonely." I said.

"It's fine Sasuke. After you are done with everything come back home to me. I'll figure out a way to make sure to make you a leaf ninja again." She said.

I smile gently to her. "I love you Mabel." I said.

"I love you too Sasuke." She said.

After clearing some bushes we see the leaf ninjas all asleep in a little camp they made. "Wake up!" I shouted making them all jump awake.

"Sasuke?" Naruto said surprised.

"Mabel!" I hear Choji scream.

"Help her please." I said.

"What did you do to her?" Choji said angrily.

"Mhmmm Choji? Is that really you?" Mabel said weakly.

"Mabel it is me! Don't worry we'll save you!" He yelled.

"What's wrong with her?" Shikamaru said.

"She's really sick and needs medical attention quickly." Karin said.

"Please take her and get her help." I said.

"Sasuke come with us!" Naruto said.

I scoff at his arrogance, "I'm not coming back until I'm done. I'm done using this dumb girl so take her back and let us go or else I'll take her with me to die." I said.

"Fine. Just hand her over." Kiba said.

I hesitated a little but finally hand over Mabel to Choji. I felt a little empty but I knew it was for her own good. I couldn't stay any longer so I left with my squad. Not caring if they have anything to say. But the last thing I heard before leaving, "Sasuke where are you?" I heard Mabel say my name once more.

"He's gone Mabel but don't worry I'm here." I said to her.

"I missed you so much Choji." She said in a faint whisper.

I finally have her back in my arms where she's safe. "We have to go to the hospital quickly." Shikamaru said.

We all nodded and ran off towards the direction where home is. You're going home Mabel and this time I'll make sure you stay home.
