Chapter 1: Sara
Sakura
Sakura laid emotionless on the bed while her new born baby cried. Sakura didn't move nor did she smile but stared at her new born daughter. Her friends stood before her with gentle smiles as they congratulated and admired her baby. Everyone she loved and cared were here…everyone but the father of the two children she was responsible for. The little baby was crying while her beautiful green orbs were looking back at her mother.
"She's so beautiful! But she's so noisy like you, billboard brow!"
Ino teased while she sat on a little chair next to her best friend. Hinata nodded in agreement while she gently touched the baby's cheek with the back of her hand,
"Her…her skin's so…white. She…She's pretty."
Sakura ignored all the sweet comments that her friends told her. She didn't care. This was supposed to be the moment where her husband was supposed to be right next to her and crying with tears of joy. Instead he was nowhere to be found…gone. Nobody knew where he was. Sai took a deep breath before he tried to crack out a small joke to make his team mate smile,
"She's uglier then you, Sakura!"
That didn't help a single bit, but only made matters worse as the baby grew silent. Everyone stared at the baby with shock when they noticed how she went quiet when Sai said that. But soon enough the baby started to cry again and this time she was crying louder than before. The adults blocked their ears and groaned from how loud the baby was crying. Kiba rolled his eyes and whacked Sai on the back of his head.
"You're not helping here."
"I tried."
Sai muttered to himself and stood quietly. The room was quiet besides the baby crying her eyes out. Sakura finally had enough of her daughter's tear smeared face and hugged her gently to calm her down. Naruto finally rolled his eyes as he put down his hands from his ears.
"Finally! She's as loud as you and annoying like that teme!" Sakura's sad eyes widen as she remembered the father. She didn't want to think about him right now…her tears started to rush to her eyes. Shino noticed this and glared at the blonde ninja.
"You know, you always seem to ruin the moment."
"I was only telling the truth you know, see?"
He pointed to the new born baby who looked up at him with curious big eyes.
"She got Sakura's eyes and the teme's black hair! You can barely notice the pink hair though…but hey! She looks just like Leiko!"
"She does look like Sakura's other kid, I have to admit."
The door of the hospital room immediately slammed open as Garaa charged into the room with a baby who was a few months old in his hands. The red head was soon followed by his brother. He gasped for air as he ran and stood next to Hinata and pecked her on lips.
"Sorry that I was late! I had extra amount paperwork…did I missed anything?"
Hinata smiled shyly as she looked up at her husband,
"No…not really…"
"Oh. Well, that's good to hear."
Kankuro was growling from all the heavy weight of presents he was carrying with difficulty.
"Anyone willing to help me out with these boxes of diapers and baby food for the new Uchiha?!"
Temari elbowed her arm into Shikamaru's chest, letting him know she wanted him to help her brother. Shikamaru groaned and looked at his blonde wife for a few more moments before finally going to give Kankuro a hand who was dying from the weight of all the presents. The lazy ninja stood up from the warm seat and walked slowly towards the struggling ninja. All the adults in the room stared at all the boxes that were stacked right next to Sakura. Naruto gasped.
"What the heck? Why the hell did you get this much?"
Garaa chuckled as he smiled warmly at Hinata.
"My love over here wanted Sakura to have some decent presents so she won't struggle and worry about the money for the new born baby."
Sakura's eyes widen and looked at the quiet mother.
"Hi…Hinata! You…you didn't need to do this! Thank you so much!"
Hinata stared and blushed at her friend who seemed pleased. Tenten, who was watching the whole scene from a bit of a distance with her own child in her arms smiled and asked,
"Have you named your little angle yet?"
Sakura didn't say anything but shaked her head. Tenten raised an eyebrow.
"Really? You should. I bet she's dying to hear her name. I named my little prince Tori."
Sakura began to think…what was a perfect name for her new born child? While she thought for a name the other couples talked about their own children in a quiet hushed voice.
"Have you fed Shenji before we left?"
Temari asked her husband who was slowly falling asleep.
"Uh…I think I did. Don't worry, she's doing fine."
Sakura began to hear more conversations. Each time one of her friends talked about their own families, she felt her heart sink lower and lower to her stomach.
"Her baby started to make me think more of Inna…"
Ino whispered to Sai who was giving her one of his rare smiles and hugging her from the side with his arm.
"Aww…how's our cute Sorin doing?"
Hinata didn't stutter as she hugged the small baby that was in Garra's arms a few minutes ago. Sakura slowly started to feel weak…all of them…all of them had someone close to them. They even named their children together! But here she was, all alone. She was all alone with Leiko and now another child. Sakura fought back the tears that threatened to stream down from her eyes. Sakura looked down at her baby who was now gently leaning on her chest and sleeping. Her green orbs were hidden behind her eyelids but her raven black hair and light specks of pink hair were quite visible. She smiled sadly and opened her mouth to speak.
"I'll…I'll name her Sara."
Everyone was quiet until Ino Interrupted,
"Sara's not a bad name, forehead!"
Sakura smiled as she heard her best friend call her by her hated nickname. Things will turn out just fine, she knew it. She just had to make sure to not mention about the father to her children or else they'll get depressed and sad like her. All she needed to do was to make up an excuse until the time was right to reveal the truth…but wouldn't her children hate her for that? She sigh as she cradled her baby. She might as well enjoy the time being with her children for now. Sasuke might return and take them away from her…he told her so. What type of husband would do such a thing? Oh right…she was only a machine that made Uchiha children to him. It was that simple. Sasuke would come back one day and take her two children away and train them to be experts in fighting. However she just wished that the Sasuke she knew would come back to her and stay with her and watch their two children grow.
Itachi
I was silently watching the new born girl from a safe distance. It was a dark yet warm June night so I started to get a bit stuffy in my thick Akatsuki coat. She looked just like her mother but with black hair. Everyone in the room seemed happy but I noticed Sakura didn't seem all that thrilled. Of course I knew the reason, it all came to one thing if you thought about it, she was depressed that my little brother didn't get to celebrate with her.
"When will we get them?"
I didn't turned to face with Kisame,
"We'll get them soon enough. For now I don't want to get them at this young age, it'll only be a big burden to take care of two kids. I say we wait for six years."
"But…!"
"Six years."
I told him coldly. Kisame was always stubborn but when I tell him in threatening tones he was smart enough not to argue with me. The plan was simple, we were going to capture and raise the two new Uchihas as Akatsuki members. We wouldn't have any trouble getting things that we wanted if we had two more of my kind.
"She is defiantly your brother's daughter. She's cute un."
Deidara smirked as he was leaning against the railing of the tall building. He was looking at the small tiny hospital window that contained the new born. Kisame chuckled and teased Deidara,
"When we get those two I bet you'll be braiding that girl's hair."
Deidara growled back at the shark ninja,
"You shut up shark face!"
Itachi sigh. Those two were just so typical. The two idiots begin to bicker and one thing for sure they were getting pretty loud.
"What are you going to do pretty boy?"
"Call me pretty boy again you blue fish head!"
"Is that all you got?! Seriously, I've seen you braiding your own hair before! Are you sure you're even a guy?!"
"I am you idiot! I can't tell if you're a guy or a girl because for one thing, you look like an it un!"
Soon it was not the two of them arguing but the annoying and quiet innocent Tobi joined the bickering also.
"Deidara, Kisame don't fight! We're all friends!"
Deidara yelled at Tobi with narrow furious eyes,
"Tobi, stay out of this! You got nothing to do with this so don't join!"
"Why? But Tobi only wants to help Deidara! Because Tobi's a good boy!"
Deidara face palmed in embarrassment as Kisame was burst into tears of laughter. But soon a deep serious voice ordered the three of them to shut up. Itachi slightly froze for it was Pein. Pein was the strongest out of all of them and he himself admitted that all of the Akatsuki members feared him. Except for Konan though, for she was now expecting a baby girl with him within one month now. The leader of the Akatsuki and his wife were both standing close together on top of the building.
"All of you shut up before we get caught."
Pein told the three Akatsuki members and sure enough they were silent and sat down on the ground calmly. But Kisame and Deidara were still glaring at each other, fighting silently. Itachi turned to face Pein for he knew he should show him respect unless he got his ass kicked by him.
"Itachi, what have you been spying on?"
"My niece. How did you get here?"
Pein smirked,
"I know my ways, Uchiha. How's your niece doing?"
"She was just born a couple of hours ago."
"I'm happy to hear. Having new members to the Akatsuki is always a good thing…"
Konan leaned against Pein and rested her head under his chin. Her hand was gently rested on her big stomach that was holding another future Akatsuki.
"I'm glad to hear that you have a niece or else my daughter would get lonely."
Itachi said nothing but nodded once, letting Konan know that he heard her. One day…he'll meet face to face with one of his little brother's kids. And that day he'll train them hard and make them stronger. He'll treat them and protect them just like how he wanted to protect his own brother. He just wished his brother would understand…but one thing he didn't know where his brother was. It was selfish of his brother to miss one of this happy moment, his wife just had another child! He rolled his eyes, he must still be training or running away from more trouble.
"When will we get them?"
Pein stood still and Itachi knew his boss was thinking deeply to himself.
"I was thinking of sometime when his mother was gone from home. But first we'll have to earn their trust, those little kids do cause a lot of trouble…Tsunade would have to think that their safe. We all know that the hokage is very over protective with Sakura. We just have to wait for a perfect timing and something that wouldn't cause a lot of attention."
The members of the Akatsuki were silent as they all faced back at the small window of the hospital. Itachi held his breath as he looked at his niece…would she mind if her brother and her would get kidnapped? How should he earn their trust so they would quietly follow them? He grunted silently to himself as the warm gentle breeze made his hair wave at the dark night sky.
Oruchimaru
Oruchimaru smirked as he started to lick his lips gently when he noticed the new born child cradled in her mother's arms. What a precious baby…the mysterious ninja chuckled to himself slyly. He wanted two of those Uchihas. The girl looked delicate and beautiful but the boy…the boy was something that he wanted badly for his new body. He wanted their father's body at first but their father was too strong…even to one of the strongest feared ninjas!
"Kabuto! Hand me my binoculars!"
Quickly the silver haired ninja handed his master's binoculars. He had never seen his master this obsessed for the body of an Uchiha. But he knew when his master wanted something he would eventually always get what he wanted. Even though that meant he would see more dead victims. The strange man sneered as he placed the binoculars in front of his two amber eyes. He zoomed close up to a window not too far from the baby Uchiha's room. He noticed the similar looking boy sitting quietly on top of a big green arm chair at the waiting room. He had the same jet black hair…but dark green eyes that had a hint of blue in them. Oruchimaru hissed in pleasure as he imagined himself having the little boy's body. He would be unstoppable! But how would he get the boy? He smirked. He would just have to try to make the little boy and his sister trust him.
"Master Oruchimaru…should we capture him now?"
The white ninja smirked as his amber eyes glowed,
"No. We wouldn't want the little Uchiha boy think we're the bad guys…don't you agree?"
Kabuto was silent as his master went on spying and looking at the small six year old boy. He rolled his eyes, never in his life had he thought his master was this creepy. And one thing for sure his master was defiantly gay.
"He looks just like his medalling father!"
The strange man muttered to himself as Kabuto looked around in guard. He didn't want any of them to catch them at this moment. But even if they got caught, the fools who dared to stop them would be easily killed. He took a quick glance at the old hospital window however. He noticed all the familiar faces of the young adults…but the baby Uchiha was noticeable out of all. He glanced back at his crazy obsessed master. He just hoped that this time the Uchiha wouldn't try to kill his master. It had happened several times in the past, apparently Uchihas don't like snakes.
Leiko
What was taking them so long? The young boy thought to himself as he glanced up at the clock with narrowed eyes. It was almost midnight! He still remembered his mother feeling quite ill…he just hope she was fine. Where else would he go if she was gone? He grumbled to himself as he curled up his legs and rested his head against one of the arms of the chair. Earlier he had seen several older ninjas running off towards the door that his mother was in. He just wished he had joined them but the nurses would not allow him in yet. Instead an old strange man named Kakashi was sitting in front of him and reading an inappropriate book.
"When's mom coming out?"
He asked in a serious tone. The mysterious ninja put down the book he was reading down on his lap and smiled, even though you couldn't see his smile because of his black mask.
"She'll come out sooner or later. She has a great surprise for you."
Young Leiko made a face as he heard this,
"What surprise? There's nothing special or interesting you can get from this dumb old hospital. I bet the surprise is one of those vitamins or candy that they give you after the doctor's done checking on you…and I hate sweet stuff!"
The old ninja chuckled as he ruffled the boy's jet black hair. The boy however didn't liked it when the older man ruffled his hair.
"You're just like you're grumpy old father! Well, this present is something far more better than a candy." Leiko frowned and stared into the eyes of Kakashi. He took a deep breath before he asked,
"Kakashi…what was my dad like?"
Kakashi froze. He felt guilty…why did that sentence slipped out from his mouth at the first place? He smiled sadly and once again gently ruffled the boy's hair,
"You're father was a great man."
"Was?"
"He still is…he's just too busy to come and visit you, that's all. You can trust me on that."
Leiko mumbled to himself as he saw Kakashi winking at him,
"I don't trust anyone besides mom…"
The silver haired man sigh and begin to read his book silently. Leiko went quiet and his eyes were slowly closing until he heard a familiar soft voice. He leaped out from the arm chair,
"Mom!"
He was running towards his mother who was sitting on a wheel chair and looking a bit pale. The curious boy halted immediately when he noticed a strange bundle in her arms…it was moving and breathing! Sakura chuckled to herself as she waved her hand to let her son know it was ok,
"It's ok Leiko…this is your surprise!"
Leiko smiled as he walked towards his mother. Was it a puppy? He had been asking and begging his mother for a pet for so long! He even begged for Kiba to give him one of his dogs to him! His smile however didn't last when he saw the strange looking black and pink hair and wide emerald green eyes that stared back at him.
"What….who's….that?"
Leiko asked his mother quietly as he glared back at the new born girl. He felt a hand ruffling his hair and his heart stopped when Kakashi told him,
"Silly boy, she's your younger sister! She looks just like you Sakura!"
Leiko froze…this wasn't good. A baby sister? A girl? He didn't want a baby sister! He wanted a brother! He glared and his hands tightened to a fist as the baby girl was smiling up at him. His mother smiled,
"Aw, thank you Kakashi sensei! She seems to love you Leiko! Her name's Sara, she'll be with you for a long time beginning today. Aren't you happy to have a new member to the family?"
"No…I wanted a brother…"
"You'll learn to love you're little sister Leiko. Trust me, she's the sweetest thing you could ever imagine!"
"I don't like sweet things."
Sakura and Kakashi sweat dropped. Leiko Uchiha didn't seem he would accept this new kid to the family that easily. But they were still a big family, no matter what happens.
