Family of Four
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but I do own this fanfic.
Naruko remembers the day well. It was a night to remember but never did she think of the consequences which were to come with it.
Three loud cries awoke her from her thoughts from looking out the window, causing her to rise from her seat to tend to them. Three children, two boys and a little girl was the product of a silly night that she would never forget. He was always a cold man but Lord did he make her feel warm and hot. It was so passionate and dirty. She felt so unworthy to be held the way she was. How he kissed down her neck and nibbled her earlobe. He teased her little nipples that pecked on her tiny breast that he gripped and sucked on as though it was sweet sweet candy. His large strong hand wandered her body eagerly. Yes eagerly! He wanted her that night! he craved her~ but to this day she never knew why. She never viewed herself as much to look at. She was always simply dresses in the little uniform they provided. She didn't wear makeup to style her hair in any particular way. She wasn't the brightest either. She wasn't fully figured like most woman. In fact, she was still developing at age 16 so...why?
She couldn't even begin to guess the answer to that question. The young one didn't know. All she knew was that she needed to run.
It was obvious when she became pregnant. After all the next week her stomach awoke her to a metallic turning which swam up her throat. And this happened everyday. Even if she wanted to she couldn't pretend it was the child of another coworker. It was forbidden in the palace and punishable by death. Her mother was lucky to have died at birth as Naruko had heard of how torturous the punishment was. With this quickly growing bump she couldn't hide it long either. She needed to leave.
Naruko remembers how she stole seeds and food from the kitchen and garden and wrote a small note with the little education she had, keeping it it brief and simple. She felt the Prince deserved to know...not where she was going but what she was taking with her. Naruto, Boruto and Hina. Her...Their children.
Hina was her little girl. Looked just like her. Bright blue eyes and blond hair. Naruto was the same and Boruto looked just like his father. Dark blue hair and deep red dark eyes. All three of them had the birthmark of the royal family on their neck as well. Three dark commas which seemed to dance in a spiral. And neither could get away from her whisker like birthmark as each and ever once of them had it, sweetly positioned on their cheeks.
Naruko picked up her crying angels and began to lightly dance around the room in attempts to soothe them. She lived alone with them in a makeshift wooden house the butler Kiba made for her. He was the only one that knew of her location and secret. He would try, with his little salary, to buy her small treats and items for the children. With her own efforts Naruko started a small garden to help ease weight off of Kiba. He was doing so much for her and at such high risk. Through him she found out the she was now a wanted criminal for theft from the royal palace and was not welcomed in the town anymore. Prince Uchiha was livid about the situation, however, it would seem he left out the part that she was pregnant...and told no one.
After all...she guessed such an act would only bring shame up in the kingdom especially since he wed to another two or three months ago. To Princess Haruno of Belian lakes.
This made the young lady sigh which still remained drown out by the cries of her young look alikes. She had heard a lot about Princess Haruno and knew a lot about the current state of the royal palace. The princess was said to be a beauty of a unique type. She had natural baby pink hair and lovely mint green eyes. She was a strong warrior as she was trained by her war hero father and she gives off an air of gracefulness in every room she enters.
This marriage was not one of love. That was something everyone knew. It was definite that the Mistress Ino Yamanaka, the only mistress in the younger prince's harem, wasn't too pleased about this marriage for political gain. Everyone knows of her bountiful love for the Prince. He had love for her, too, one night. Any man would understand. She was tall and slim with a petite waist and long flowing blond hair matched with blue sapphire ocean eyes.
But to compare the two beauties would be unfair to the mistress.
Like putting a painted stone in competition with a gentle expensive diamond. A princess would out do a mere dancer any day.
The palace life was a complicated life. As a maid, it was easy to see. The King's harem always had fighting and arguing and the older prince's harem wasn't any better. The official wifes would have to care for the harem while performing their wifely duties and still maintaining their superiority over the mistresses of the harem and the mistresses weren't common folk either and they wouldn't idle around. They were often from established families with money and very few were commoners. It was scary when somehow one mistress would die and for some reason no one would know how are why. It was just alot.
The rest of the Imperial Palace wasn't any better. You would be a fool to not know about the current fight for the throne between the two brothers, Prince Sasuke And Itachi.
Just thinking about the palace gave Naruko a headache.
The room became silent as the littlest ones in the room began to go quiet to be placed back in their handmade cribs to sleep. The little lady sighed once again as she returned to her small seat beside the window of the small wooden home. Three rooms; a nursery, a small bedroom and a dining/ living room. An outhouse was at the back and utensils and produce for cooking were stored in a sightly larger room a ways from it. The garden was positioned right before it and not too far from the whole dwelling was a small downstream river.
This was Naruko's life now. It was simple and sweet with fresh air and freedom. It wasn't much at all. It had major inconveniences but..
Many would agree that it's better than what the world had in store for the little 4 member family as through the forest zoomed a panicked bleeding butler.
