Your POV
Cold.
'It's so cold'
Everything feels so cold.
Panic starts to take over my body. 'My eyes. My eyes. I can't feel my fucking eyes' I start to hyperventilate, I feel so cold but I can't open or feel my eyes.
'Help me' I shout but the words won't leave my lips. My mouth. I can't open my mouth. I can't speak. My breathing gets harder. I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
"Y/n"
'Who's that' that deep voice is so familiar but I don't know who it is. I don't know anything at the moment. I just know I'm going suffocate.
"Y/n breathe"
'I CANT' The words still don't leave my lips and it's getting harder to breath.
"Mama you need to-"
"Y/N BREATHE"
The new voice gets cut off and I'm suddenly snatched awake and my eyes are open, and I can breathe.
I sit up gasping for air, clawing at my throat and blinking as if my life depends on it. And I can't feel how everything hurt, every single inch of me feels like it's on fucking fire.
"Y/n-Chan you can't scare us like that"
I look at where I think the blob of pink is standing.
"Sakura? Is that you?" My voice is so hoarse and quiet, it feels like I haven't spoken in years.
"Y/n-chan what's wrong? Can't you see me" I hear her ask, worry laced in her voice.
"No I can only see a blob of pink. Where am I?" I respond. Fidgeting with the soft blanket that lays on top of me. After sleeping sitting down against stone for weeks, the feeling of anything remotely soft makes me happy.
"You're in Konoha Hospital. You've been sleeping for a week, and I just found you about to suffocate yourself with your own hands. I couldn't even pull you back using ninjustu, I had to scream so loud the entire hospital heard me. You were screaming with your mouth shut. What was that about? Where you having a nightmare?"
It's getting easier to see her now, she's now a blob of pink and white instead of just pink.
"I-" I begin but I don't know what to say. What even was that?
"I don't know. I just felt cold, everything around me was so cold and I didn't know where I was. All I knew was that I couldn't breathe or open my eyes or even my mouth" I responded with a heavy sigh.
I let myself fall against the big comfortable pillow, putting my hands on my now gigantic belly. The realisation made me grin widely despite the immense pain that I was in.
"They've grown" I whisper loud enough for Sakura to hear me.
"Well duh, they're strong babies. They're your babies. They were protected by you, they just needed more nutrients and they were fine" she smiles.
I look at her and smile, 'this girl is truly amazing'.
I grab her hand, startling her, and holding it in mine.
"Y/n-Chan are you Oka-"
"Thank you. Truly Sakura. Without you I would have died the first time this world. And I know I would have died after getting rescued. When I fainted in itachis arms I didn't have any chakra left, it was all drained after weeks of being chained in chakra draining shit-cuffs. And the stunt I pulled to escaped didn't help at all. So thank you, I owe you my life." I said, tearing up a little. She reminded me so much of my older. 'Oh Levi, I miss you'
"Y/n-chan. You are family, you are one of us and we protect our own. Forever until we can't anymore but even then we will still try" she sniffled, tears in her eyes.
I smiled and pulled her in for a hug. "I know" I whispered before we pulled apart.
"My love" I didn't even have time to look at him before he had pulled me into a bone crushing hug.
"Ita" I whispered, now full on sobbing. I hadn't even noticed how much my entire body had missed him, much less my mind. He and my children were all I could think of while in that damned cave.
"Itachi-San you're crushing her" Sakura sweat dropped.
"Oh I'm so sorry darling" he pulled away slightly and let me rest my head on his chest.
'I could spend an eternity in your embrace' I didn't say it out loud but I think he somehow heard me because I felt him kiss my head knowingly.
"I will leave you alone, be careful and um" from the gaps in itachis embrace I could see her become a very strong shade of red.
"Yes? Anything else sakura?" Itachi asked, as confused as me.
She took a deep breath, inched closer to the door and opened it and in one quick breath she blurred out.
"And no sex for at least 2 weeks" she squealed and quickly ran out and slammed the door behind her.
The silence in the room didn't last long before me and Itachi started laughing.
"Oh good god how little control does she think we have" I laughed and pulled back from itachis embrace to look at him.
He looked down at me, properly looked at me and stroked my hair. He was smiling, and for the first time since I almost died a tear left his eye.
"I would wait an eternity without sex as long as I can have you as I do right now. Safe, in my embrace and as far from danger as humanly possible" he whispered.
I smiled and reached out to wipe his tears. " I know that, I know you" I said and kissed him very softly on the lips.
I pulled back from the kiss slightly and smirked a bit "but thank god we don't have to live without sex"
"Thank god indeed" he chuckled and leaned down once more.
He laid down with me, my head on his chest and one of his hands was on my stomach and the other in my hair, playing with it. We stayed like that for hours, without saying a single word. I knew he was going to want answers for what happened to me in there, but we both knew we needed this. We needed to just stay like this for a bit.
I was half asleep when someone entered the room and it snapped me out of it, without wasting a second I jumped out of itachis embrace, my eyes activated and tackled whoever entered down, ready to burn them with my eyes.
"Y/n it's me" a sweet familiar voice quickly said.
"Y/n what are you doing!?" Someone screamed and pulled me off.
I couldn't see anything again, all I saw where strong chakra signatures. I pushed back whoever was holding me and infused my fist with chakra before punching towards the wall making it shatter.
"Get away from me. Don't touch my children or I will kill you" I screamed.
"Y/n my love, it's alright" I felt myself being hugged and I immediately snapped out of it and recognised the person.
"Itachi" I whispered as the adrenaline wore off and I almost collapsed if he hadn't caught me.
I looked around and I saw mikoto being helped up from the ground by a very confused Shisui and a slightly fuming sasuke getting up from the wall and dusting himself off.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Mikoto-ma" I quickly said and attempted to leave itachis arms to go and make sure she was okay.
"Stop, you're too weak to stand on your own" itachi said sternly.
"I'm so sorry" I repeated, looking at her as she got up and came closer to me and hugged me as much as she could considering her son wouldn't let go.
"It's okay, I know you didn't know it was me" she smiled.
"I'm so sor-" I was cut off by sasuke as he came closer to me, gently pushed mikoto aside and looked at me with his rinnegan.
"Why do you have kaguyas chakra Y/n?"
''I'm sorry'
And suddenly, I remembered everything.
