Chapter 1: Sakura's Favorite Boy

No one ever questioned it, though all of the villagers know who the father was. Yuki was the spitting image of Sasuke. Well, mostly, except his hair was pink at night and blue in the day and his eyes were emerald green.

Truth be told, Sakura couldn't even remember how she conceived. It just seemed to happen. Tsunade said it was because the memory was so hurtful or sad or angry (she didn't really know) that Sakura suppressed it. But, that didn't matter to Sakura; her son was sweet and kind, not a hint of malice in his eyes. He possessed the Sharingan at this young age (he was 4) and she couldn't be prouder.

Sakura was now twenty; since the Akatsuki had destroyed Konoha she took time off every so often and taught her son basic ninja training. (The academy was the first place to go when Pain blew the place up and the city had yet to rebuild the thing).

Sakura could care less though. She had a son, a beautiful boy and it made her so happy. She never cried anymore (since she first found out she was pregnant) and always wore a sincere smile. Just for him, his smile could light up the darkest of places and every villager loved that about him.

Some people were still a little uncomfortable with another little Uchiha running around (seeing as the other two joined up with the same criminal organization and were bent on destroying Konoha). Sakura never gave it a first thought.

She and Yuki were walking hand in hand when Naruto came running up to them with Hinata right behind him. They both looked very panicked.

"SAKURA!" Naruto shouted, "PLEASE HELP US HINATA'S FATHER IS GOING TO FRY OUR ASSES, HE FOUND OUT WERE DATING!!!" Naruto grabbed Sakura's hands and a waterfall of tears were coming from his eyes.

Before Sakura could even offer her advice, and scolding for him swearing in front of her son. Yuki grabbed Hinata's arm and told her about marrying the Hokage's heir. She seemed dumbfounded at the idea but she took Naruto and went to the compound to confront her relationship with Naruto to her father.

"Geez Yuki! I can't even get a word in with you around all the time and you seem to be the best at everything. What am I going to do with you?" Sakura said once they left.

"I don't know mother? What would you like to do with me? I'm relatively small and portable and convenient for traveling!" Sakura gave him a weird look as she sighed and shook her head.

"Yuki, sometimes you can't say things just because they pop into your head okay?" Sakura bent down to meet her son at eye level. He look at her confused.

"What do you mean Mother?"

"I mean that, Hinata and Naruto are probably going to get a harsh time from Hina's father about them wanting to be bound in holy matrimony. Her father might disown Hinata if she does not comply with his wishes. That would be very hard on the both of them, not to mention Neji kun, Hina's cousin. If she were to be banished from the Hyuuga's, what do you think would happen between them? They started growing a bond and it would be severed due to protocol that would order him to shun her from their clan along with all the other Hyuuga's. I know you are young and most of the words you speak come from the heart, but sometimes it can be very troublesome to those around you okay?"

Yuki started to tear up and Sakura immediately regretted her words even though they were said with the kindest voice she had. "I'm sorry honey, don't cry." She picked the little boy up who spoke between hiccups.

"I thought that if they truly loved each other, they could over come the obstacles that stand in their way to happiness. Does that not matter to Hinata-sama's father? The happiness of his daughter? That makes me sad." Sakura smiled at the heart the little boy could possess when the occasion presented itself.

"He does care Yuki. Just as I care about you and the future life choices you will make. He just wants what is best for Hinata and he may not think Naruto fit's that role well enough. It's okay though. You are right about one thing." She stopped at a stall and bought him a lollypop which he sucked on immediately after his thanks to his mother and the shop vender.

"What am I right about Mother?" he asked, unsure.

"If Hinata and Naruto really care about each other. They will find a way to be together. If it is meant to be, it will be and Hinata's father will have to come to accept his daughter's decision."

"But what if he doesn't?" Yuki seemed worried over the matter greatly. He didn't want to be the reason for a broken bond between father and daughter.

"If he doesn't, he will have a hard time saying no to accepting the two when he meets his first grandchild. He will melt like ice cream in a desert" Yuki pondered his mother's words.

"So if I have children could I meet my father?" Sakura's smile faltered for a millisecond before replacing it with her usual grin.

"You will meet your father in time I am sure. Now, enough about all this nonsense. We have to pack for our vacation. Don't want to miss our reservations at the hot springs do we?"

"Of course not Mother."

They left, saying good bye too everyone and made there way through dense forest. They went on like that for half a day, until nightfall where they reached the Suna desert. They stopped at the inn for the night in hopes of reaching Suna at noon the next day. Yuki always put on a neutral, bored look whenever he left Konoha, he practiced it for when he was a real Ninja. By now, his hair had turned from it's Navy blue to a bubble gum pink, he loved the colour and always wanted to stay up and stare at his hair in the mirror. All throughout the night. Both he and Sakura loved the hair. But, she told him to sleep because of the long trip they'd have tomorrow. They were in for hell.
