Chapter 21 - Chapter 20

The first trimester was the hardest.

Myra stood on the balcony of her apartment every evening as the sun dipped below the Hokage Monument, one hand resting protectively over her still mostly flat stomach. Two months had passed since Sasuke left. The village had slowly returned to a tense normalcy, but for Myra, the world felt permanently dimmer without him.

She wore a looser version of her blue kimono now — the fabric flowing gently over her body to accommodate the subtle changes. Her breasts had grown even fuller and more sensitive, and a soft glow seemed to emanate from her skin, courtesy of the new life growing inside her and Okuninushi's influence.

"You're really in there, aren't you?" she whispered softly, a small smile touching her lips despite the ache in her chest. "Your father… he's coming back. He promised."

Daily Life in His Absence

Tsunade had placed Myra on restricted duty — mostly medical support and village defense rather than frontline missions. Every morning, Myra reported to the hospital where she worked alongside Sakura.

"You're glowing," Sakura said one afternoon, watching Myra heal a deep gash on a chunin's leg with crystalline chakra that left behind faint rabbit-shaped scars. "Pregnancy looks good on you."

Myra blushed. "It feels… strange. Powerful. But lonely."

Naruto visited every single day, bringing ramen and loud encouragement. "Don't worry, Myra-chan! I'm gonna drag that teme back by his collar! Our kid's gonna have the coolest dad in the world — after me, obviously!"

Even Kakashi showed up more often, offering quiet advice and sharing books (though he quickly learned to avoid the more explicit ones around the pregnant kunoichi).

At night, however, the loneliness hit hardest.

Myra would lie in the futon they once shared, hand between her thighs, remembering Sasuke's touch. She thought of his mouth on her breasts, the way he'd suck and bite until she cried out. She remembered how he'd pin her down and thrust deep, filling her completely. Her fingers moved faster as she recalled the night he left — the desperate, passionate way he had emptied himself inside her again and again.

She came with a soft whimper of his name, tears slipping down her cheeks.

Power Evolution

Her pregnancy seemed to amplify her abilities.

During a private training session with Tsunade, Myra discovered something remarkable.

"Try focusing on the child's chakra," Tsunade instructed.

Myra closed her eyes, placing both hands over her lower abdomen. A warm, gentle light bloomed beneath her palms. When she opened her eyes, small crystalline rabbits hopped around her feet, each one carrying tiny pulses of healing chakra.

Tsunade's eyes widened. "Incredible. The baby is enhancing your connection to life-nature chakra."

Okuninushi sounded almost proud. Thechild carries both Uchiha and Otsutsuki blood. Combined with my essence… this little one will be extraordinary.

Myra began developing new techniques specifically tailored for protection. She created "Rabbit's Cradle" — a dome of crystal and wood that could shield multiple people while continuously healing them from within. She also learned to channel small amounts of chakra directly to the baby, strengthening the bond.

A Moment of Tenderness

One quiet evening, Naruto dragged Myra to Ichiraku Ramen. Sakura and Hinata joined them. As they ate, Hinata shyly offered a small knitted rabbit hat.

"For the baby," she said softly.

Myra's eyes filled with tears. "Thank you… all of you."

Later that night, Kakashi appeared on her balcony with a small scroll.

"From Sasuke," he said quietly. "It was intercepted from one of Orochimaru's couriers."

Myra's hands shook as she opened it.

"Myra,

I think about you every night. About the child growing inside you. I'm getting stronger. Tell our baby I love them.

I will come back.

Wait for me.

— Sasuke"

She cried for hours, clutching the letter to her chest.

That night, she dreamed of him.

In the dream, Sasuke made love to her slowly under the full moon. He kissed every inch of her changing body, lingering on her swollen breasts and gently rounded belly. He entered her with deep, loving thrusts, whispering promises against her skin as they climaxed together.

She woke up aching and empty.

The First Flutters

At four months, Myra felt the first flutter.

She was meditating in the garden Hiruzen had once loved when it happened — a tiny, butterfly-soft movement inside her. She gasped, tears immediately springing to her eyes.

"Hello, little one," she whispered, placing both hands over her stomach. "That's right… it's Mama."

A soft golden glow enveloped her as Okuninushi lent his power. The crystalline rabbits around her glowed brighter, dancing happily.

From that day on, the baby's presence became more noticeable. Myra's belly began to show — a gentle, beautiful curve that she proudly displayed by adjusting her kimono to sit higher.

Tsunade performed a special medical scan using advanced chakra techniques. The image projected in the air showed a tiny, healthy baby with faint wisps of dark hair and what looked like tiny horns beginning to form.

"A girl," Tsunade announced with a rare soft smile. "Strong heartbeat. She's going to be a handful."

Myra laughed through happy tears. "Just like her father."

A Close Call

During a routine border patrol, Myra's team was ambushed by remnants of the Sound Village seeking revenge for Orochimaru's orders.

The fight was intense. Myra refused to stay back.

She created a massive "Rabbit Princess Dominion" — a beautiful crystalline forest that protected her teammates while she fought in the center. Her pregnant belly made movement slightly slower, but her power had grown exponentially.

When an enemy tried to strike at her stomach, something primal awakened in Myra.

Her dual dojutsu spun wildly as she unleashed a new technique:

"Mother's Judgment: Crystal Rabbit Wrath!"

A colossal, ethereal rabbit guardian manifested, its eyes blazing with Byakugan and Mangekyō Sharingan patterns. It protected Myra's belly with absolute fury, destroying the attackers in waves of purifying crystal light.

After the battle, Myra collapsed from chakra exhaustion. Tsunade scolded her fiercely but hugged her afterward.

"You can't risk yourself like that anymore," the Fifth Hokage said. "Not just for you — for her."

Midnight Longing

That same night, Myra lay awake, hand gently rubbing her growing belly.

She missed Sasuke desperately.

She remembered the way he used to hold her breasts while thrusting into her. The way he'd groan her name when he came. The way he'd kiss her stomach and talk to their future child that night before he left.

Tears fell as she touched herself again, imagining it was his hands, his mouth, his cock filling her. She came quietly, whispering his name into the pillow.

A Message of Hope

Two days later, another intercepted letter arrived.

"Myra,

I heard the news through my sources. A daughter.

I'm sorry I'm not there. I'm getting closer to my goal. Tell her stories about the moon and rabbits. Tell her her father loves her.

I dream of you both every night.

Wait for me just a little longer.

— Sasuke"

Myra pressed the letter to her belly.

"Your papa is fighting his demons," she whispered. "But he loves us. He'll come home."

Under the moonlight, the Rabbit Princess continued to bloom — stronger, more radiant, and carrying the hope of two broken legacies inside her.

The road ahead was still long and filled with uncertainty.

But for the first time since Sasuke left, Myra felt truly unbreakable.
