I'm actually really; really proud of myself with this story…I think it's one of my best so far because I really do like Sasuke and Sakura as a couple, even if it will never happen.

But please read and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE review! I would love to hear feed back or anything else you wanna tell me! Thanks! 3

Don't own anything…duh.

It was all just a lie. How didn't I see that before hand? Why did I so blindly, so willingly even, oblige to his request? I shouldn't have fallen so hard, so fast. I should've found someone who would've loved me, cared about me after ever night, wake up every morning talking to me, and ate every meal I gave him without a sour look on his face.

"Sakura?" turning I knew something was up when he wanted to start a conversation with me.

"Yes?" I answered so foolishly.

"You said you'd do anything for me once, confessing that'd you'd make everyday happy if I stayed with you…is that still true?" he had asked raising his brow slowly as if in caution.

I thought before looking up into his obsidian orbs, entranced, "…Yes."

"Hn. Then I have a request." He said solemnly.

"What is it?"

"Help me restore my clan."

I padded down the hallway slowly to allow sleep to still remain in place. I walked towards the foyer and outside breathing in the fresh air that hit my lungs soothingly. It was still a little dark outside, the sun barely peeking over the Hokage Mountain. I walked down the cobble path and sighed debating whether I should run for my life or try to make the best of what hand I was dealt.

"Late mission?" I asked him, he grunted in response and sat at the table placing the ANBU mask down with a thump. I smiled and had brought him his meal, allowing his gaze to rest on the tomato soup that I knew he liked but would never admit.

"How'd it go?" I asked, trying to make conversation, searching for some kind of response, he just shrugged his shoulders and brought the spoon to his mouth slowly.

"Did Naruto go with you?" he nodded his raven-haired head and closed his eyes, the signal to stop questioning him.

"Well my day went well, I got some food shopping done and I picked up Itachi from Ino's…" Sasuke grunted as he sipped from his drink lazily. I turned back to him and noticed that his eyes were avoiding mine and I could sense he wanted me to stop talking.

I kept a steady pace down the pathway and landed at the entrance for the Uchiha compound that Sasuke was now the head of. He had established himself as head when we had gotten married three years ago. I was seventeen then and I obviously still didn't have enough intelligence to know when to stop loving him.

"Sasuke?" I said in a whisper waiting if he had even heard me. He sighed in the darkness and shifted his arms behind his head. He was still awake.

"Are you nervous?" I had asked him cautiously.

He snorted, "Of?"

"This?" I said pulling the covers over my naked form still a little nervous that we had already had sex without protection. It was done; I could get pregnant because of this night. He sighed again and I could hear the small annoyed click of teeth.

"Go to bed."

"Sasuke…"

"Sakura, go to sleep." With that he rolled over on his side and had gone to sleep, his breathing becoming deeper, his body digging deeper into the mattress, and his heart slowing.

"…I love you…Goodnight Sasuke…"

I looked down the small side street that would lead to the middle of the village, but that's when I felt his presence.

"What are you doing?" his voice sounded tired, distant, and annoyed.

"Just taking a walk…" I replied turning to face him. His face was as emotionless as always, but his eyes were tired, cold, and torn.

"Hn. It's early." He said looking towards the Hokage Mountain.

"I know, but I couldn't sleep…" I said strolling right past him to go back home.

"Sakura…" his voice was choked and a little hesitant.

"Yes?" I didn't bother to turn because when I heard a grunt that meant 'never mind' in his language. We walked back in silence, his hands shoved in his pajama pants, and mine entwined together. I had started to think our marriage over and whether it was the right decision or not, but when I entered the house and Sasuke grabbed my wrist to head back to our bed room I couldn't help but pull away.

"I'm going to check on Itachi…" Sasuke nodded and for a moment I thought I saw his eyes fall slightly and frown etch on his face. But it was for a moment and it must have been my eyes fooling me in this early morning.

"Sakura?" I turned my head holding my son in my arms gently as he drank from the bottle that I held for him.

"Oh my god, he is the cutest thing ever!" Ino squealed as she smiled brightly. I gave her a smile back and looked down at my son. His eyes were open, emerald like mine, but he defiantly had a small patch of his father's hair on his head. His face was perfect, just like his father's, and I knew he'd be the same heart throb that his father was.

"What's his name?" I looked down at him and remembered what Sasuke had named him.

"Itachi…" I said looking up from him and at Ino who had raised a brow.

"But isn't that…"

"Yeah…but Sasuke said that he wanted it to be his name. He wanted to honor his brother for being the brother he knew when he was younger…" I said a little sadly remembering how Sasuke had held him and had smiled a simple, but noticeable smile.

I looked down at my three year old now and how much he's changed since that day. He had his father's hair, a dark raven color, the same spiky hair that was so difficult to brush, and he had the same way of running his hand through it if he was annoyed. He was his father's son.

I pulled the covers up a little over his chest that was moving up and down slowly before exiting the room to head back to my own.

When I had entered my room, Sasuke was sitting up with his arms crossed, his eyes closed, and his mouth formed a thin line that I knew would soon part with annoyance.

"Sasuke?" I walked slowly, cautiously; I didn't want to annoy him anymore than he was.

"Hm?" he popped his eyes open and watched as I climbed on the bed next to him.

"What did you want to ask me?" I asked, his eyes widened slightly and he shifted his body towards me, touching my leg nervously. I knew what he wanted, because one child wasn't enough.

His face moved to my neck and I could feel his nervous breathe tickle my neck slightly. He moved his hand down my leg, to my knee, pulling slowly as my legs opened. He shifted his position in between then and bit down on my neck. I stifled a moan and I could feel his body tense, he knew I was holding back.

He smirked and bit harder this time hearing a moan escape my stubborn lips. He had grinded his hips against mine and I knew that this was going to happen, that his body would crash into mine, nervously, hotly, demanding. He'd bit, lick, and sucked at my neck, but never kissed my lips, never pressed his lips against mine because that meant that he'd love me and the great Uchiha couldn't show that. He'd lose his sense of pride, his manliness, and he'd be defeated finally giving in to what I've always wanted from him.

As he entered me a grunt broke away from his lips as he buried deep within me. He moved awkwardly at first, until he picked up the pace proving his dominance. I moved with him out of spite to please him, to show him that he still meant something to me, but he only took it as another motive to go faster, harder, painfully harder. I could feel his teeth dig into my neck as he held in a hot breath.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders pulling him closer; deeper to me, trying to feel love, which I knew wasn't there. His breathing heightened and I could feel something build in my lower stomach, pleasure formed naturally, and as I threw my head back moaning a whispered, "Sasuke." He spilled his seed deep within my womb and lingered only a moment before pulling out quickly as if this entire act freaked him out.

I heard the shower start shortly after and I knew that'd he'd go out training soon with Naruto, just to get away from this house. The house that still remained cold, dark, and lonely. I shifted lifting myself from the mattress and feeling the small drops of sweat run down my chest. I moved around the dark room to get a change of clothes for the day and that's when the shower had ended. I threw on my bra and underwear quickly before he came out and looked at me oddly, painfully reminding me that he didn't want to see my body unless it was meant to restore his clan. Only then.

The door opened and I sighed, "Sasuke, do you have any missions today?" he looked at me from the corner of his eye and nodded.

"Oh…well maybe another time then…" I said incoherently, but apparently he heard and it peaked his interest.

"Hm?" he watched as I walked into the bathroom.

"Well I was just thinking, we should go out sometime…"

"What do you mean?"

"Like a dinner date…we've never been out on a date before and Ino and Shikamaru have one every Friday night since they married-"

"Sakura that's foolish." He stated before turning away from me, "I thought it was something important."

"It is…." I mumbled. He shook his head and put on his Jounin attire.

"To whom?" he said walking out of the room.

"Me…"
