Chapter 1 - The Meeting
After some hours of traveling through the hot desert and dark forests, Sasuke reached the Fire Country. His goal was to get in Konoha, without being recognized, so he stopped in the border of the Fire Country to get some clothes that would help him infiltrate the ninja village. He went to the market and bought a pair of dark pants, a grey sweater and shoes. Then, he went to a flower shop. He found a brown haired woman behind the counter, smoking a cigarrete.
"Do you know how to make brown dye?" he woman took a look at him, interested.
"Yes, but..."
He cut her off."Do it. I'll pay whatever you want."Sasuke noticed the woman's look turn angry.
"What a brat you are... You should let the ladies talk, you know?" she let her arm reach his face and her hand touched it softly. "You are a criminal nin, aren't you? You're brother was just like you..." the woman was climbing up the counter, moving her hips from side to side, showing her bare legs to him, never letting her hand go off of Sasuke's face. She was seducing him. Just like she had done with his brother years ago.
"So?" he asked calmly, slapping the hand of the woman from his face.
"Uchiha Itachi used to visit me when he was alive. He told me about you, Uchiha Sasuke." she got out of the counter and walked around the store, looking for something.
"You are telling me that Itachi used to hang out with a woman like you? Don't play with me." he stopped and looked back at him.
"I'm not a slut, if that's what you mean. I just like to hang out with hot guys... like your brother." she continued her research.
"Why do you want to go to Konoha, Sasuke?" she asked giving him the a plastic bag with a package of brown dye inside it. She went behind the counter and rested her arms on it.
"Why would I tell you?" he asked, not moving from his place.
"Because you don't know me." she answered.
"But you know me." he looked at him the same way she did after he entered the store. Sasuke kept his position, his hands in his pocket.
"Touché. But i know you want to revenge your brother." she said, after a long silence.
"So what if I want?"
"You shouldn't. If you go to Konoha alone, you can be killed. If you want your clan to be rebuilt, you must find a good girl to live with and to have kids, not risk your life." she, camly, deduced.
"How much do you want for this?" he asked, getting the plastic bag.
"100 yen is okay."He gave her the money and before getting out of the store, he said: " I know exactly what I've got to do." And headed to the shelter, where he would spend the night.
Walking by the sunny streets of Konoha, a nineteen year old girl, pink haired, named Sakura, was heading to her house. It was almost 8 p.m. and she had finished her turn in the hospital at 7 p.m. She went to the grocery store to buy some vegetables for dinner as she was thinking about what to got in home and left the bags on the kitchen table and went to the window. She loved the end of the afternoons in Konoha, when it was Winter. There was no snow or rain. Just sun. The sky had so many colors, orange, red, yellow and some lines of soft pink. It was perfect. In her eyes, everything was perfect in Konoha.
Around 6 a.m. he was ready to leave the shelter where he had spent the night. His hair was dyed and covered by a chinese-like hat and his clothes were simple enough to make him look like a peasant. When he entered the dark forest, he started to jump from tree to tree. It was a bright day, the few clouds were small white points in the sky. The wind was blowing, as always, taking some leafs with it. After some miles, he could see the North Gate. It was 8 a.m. when he got there. The gates were open, as usually they would be at day time. When he got near of the gate, he stopped jumping from tree to tree and continued walking calmly, hiding his face in the shadow of his hat, and passed by the guards. He was controlling his chakra at the level of normal people. Looking around, Sasuke found himself walking by the same street he had left by years ago. The bench was still there, on the way, so her house should be near. He remenbered her house being just a few blocks away from Ino's, so he started searching for the flower shop of the Yamanaka family. While walking, some poeple would stop and stare at him.
"He seems familiar." they would say, but, thanks to his dying hair and simple clothes, no one recognized who he really he got in front of the shop, he saw a sleepy Sakura, yawning, talking to Ino, who was behind the counter.
"You should've come with us, last night!" Ino claimed, raising her voice, so her still sleepy friend would wake up.
"I know, but I was so tired... I had been working on the laboratory for 2 days and I only could sleep for 3 hours..." Sakura yawned again, little tears forming in her eyes. "See?" she said pointing to them. "This is the sign that I need to sleep more!"
Ino smirked. "You need to get a boyfriend! It'll light you up, girl. You'll never be sleepy again."
"Yeah, yeah... by the way, what do you want?"
"Here. This is for your mother." Ino handed a package to Sakura.
"What's this?"
"Apple pie my mom made for yours!" Ino gave her a friendly smile.
"Your mother is so nice! I'll have a bite of it on my way to my parents home!" Sakura jocked.
"Keep your hands out of it, Forehead!"
"See you, Pig!" Sakura got out of the store and went to her parents house, unknowing that someone was following opened the door with her old keys and came in.
"Mom! Mrs. Yamanaka made you an apple pie!" she said, as she came into the kitchen, where her mom was doing lunch.
"Leave it on the table. How are you Sakura?" Her mom asked, as her daughter kissed her on the cheek.
"I'm ok. What about you and dad?" Sakura placed a kiss on her mother's cheek.
"I'm fine. Your dad is at the workshop, as always."
"He doesn't change, does he?" She giggled. "Anyways, i have to get going. I still have some books to place on the shelves, so i must hurry up. I'll come back tomorrow, mom. Goodbye!" she said as she got out of the mother waved back at her.
Sasuke was next to her parents' house, listening to the conversation between Sakura and her mother. Now she was living by herself, he concluded. He waited for her to leave, standing still, in the dark corner. When she got out of the place, he kept on following her, in the shadows, until they arrived to the training fields. He hid himself behind a tree and lowered even more his chackra. She walked more 5 meters and stopped.
"What are you doing here?" she asked . Was she that good at sensing chackra?
"Why are you following me?" she asked in the same tone. He walked to the middle of the training standing inches away from her.
"What are you doing here?" she interrogate again.
"I need a little favor from you." he stared at her eyes.
"I'm not available, Sasuke! Go find another person to accomplish your desires." her voice had a angry, yet still quiet, tone."If anyone knows you have been here or, worst, i have protected you, we are both dead!" she kept her voice low, so she wouldn't call atentions. Not that the training fields were a popular place around there, but there were always ninjas who used to go train on their breaks.
"I know. If you were smarter, you would know why I'm dressed in this way, wouldn't you?" he looked at her, his eyes as cold as ever.
"What do you want from an annoying girl, Sasuke? Go find Naruto! Maybe he can help you with your 'favor'!" she started walking by, hoping he would leave, but, instead, he grabbed her arm and pulled her to him, even though she forced her way to the opposite side he was strong enough to keep her near him.
"You better let me go, Sasuke! You really don't want me to be angrier than I am right now!" she snapped.
He kept looking at her calmly, however, holding her tightly. She had changed, it was truth, but he was still stronger and better than her at psychologic games. She was a woman, and women never could tell a lie for a long time: it would always be discovered. Why? They were weaker.
By now, Sasuke knew that she wanted to help him, but her stuborness and pride wouldn't let her accept it.
"Naruto can't help me. He doesn't have something you have... Not even Kakashi, if you're thinking about it. You're the only one who has what I want."
She was wondering about what he wanted from her. She didn't know what to expect. Sensing that he wouldn't let her go so soon, she relaxed from the position she was and said: "What do you exactly want from me?"
"Simple: I want you to have my children."Sakura was suprised. Did he just say he wanted her to have his children? Now, what? He was stupidly in love with her?
"Don't think that I still love you, because I don't." she lied.
"Hn, whatever."He took a deep breath, activated his Sharingan and looked around, making sure there was nobody near there. He aproached her and put his arm around her shoulder.
"The thing is I'm the only Uchiha on Earth. I can't take the risk of die without having kids. It would be the end of my people." he explained, not mentioning that his real goal was to get human-weapons to destroy Konoha.
"Geez, if your family was like you, I don't want more Uchiha to this world!"
He remenbered of his mother and some of his cousins and uncles. They weren't that bad, they were nice. They would make mistakes, like everyone else, but they were still Uchiha. Only his father would be more harsh with him, but it was normal. He had passed through the hurt of seeing his whole family being killed by his brother and, after that, his world became darker and darker as the time passed.
"I'm asking this to you for some reason, don't you think?" he turned his back to her and walked some meters.
"And what's that reason?" she asked, more softly, knowing she had him remenbering his dead and beloved family.
"You have a good genetic material. It would be good for the future generation to have such powerful skills."
She stared at the sky, thinking about what he said. He was right: with her good skills controling chakra along his kekkei genkai would be an interesting mix.
"What will you do if I accept it?" she asked, reflecting about her answer.
"I'll get you a house away from Konoha, but still in the Fire Country, near of a town. I'll visit you during the pregnancy and give you money for food and supplies."
She drew near of him and grabbed softly is arm. "We are going to my house. Keep following me and wait for my sign to get in my home." She started to walk by the track which lead to the inner of the village.
Her thoughts were driving her crazy when she reached the village itself: what about her parents? what about all the friends she loved? what about her so drunk, but kind, master, who taught her everything she knew? Even if she hid her condition, they would know she was hiding a mistery! Her master would figure out the pregnancy from the first day! Naruto would cry his eyes out and kill Sasuke if he discovered that the dark haired man was the father of the child! Ino would never forgive her! However, even though the reactions she expected from them, she didn't minded. Sasuke was her only love and was asking for her help! It was heart-breaking for her to leave her friends and her future behind, but she wanted to help him.
When they got into her house, she made sure that all the windows were closed and locked, so that anyone would hear their conversation. Sasuke was already sitting on her couch, taking of his hat. Now that she could see his hair, she realised he had dyed it, but said nothing about it. The moment was already awkward enough. She sat next to him and took a deep breath, preparing herself to speak, but he antecipated her.
"What is your answer?"
"I cannot answer already! It's a baby we're talking about! And it's me leaving the village I've been loyal to since I remenber! Could you try not to be so cold?" she glared at him, and he, being himself, glared back.
"You should know I won't wait much longer."
"I owe you nothing, so you should be pleading for my help. I won't help you without good conditions. I may be annoying, but I'm not dumb, Sasuke-kun." she trying to mock him, and she was succeding.
"Hn. Whatever." He took a paper from his pocket and unrolled it. It was a map, she could see. He placed it on top of the center table of the living room and started explaining her:
"Here, this is where you'll be living. Konoha stays about 100 miles away from it. The nearest village is a half a mile away from it." As he spoke, he would point with his finger."I have to repair the house, but the main structure of it is still strong enough, so it won't take more than a month. That's the time you have to prepare your stuff and buy whatever you want for the baby. I recomend you to buy as much as you can here, because this town has nothing but grocery stores."
How could she hide it from her friends if she was going to buy baby things? Her mind seemed like a whirlpool of confusing thoughts. Everything came to her mind with this whole situation. However, the most important question: When was she going to get pregnant? And, to make it worst, it seemed like Sasuke was reading her thoughts.
"I can see you've planned this very well, but..." she knew she sounded nervous and muddled. After a few second of silence, she spit it out. "When are we going to do it?" she finally said.
"Now."It frooze her.
Her next reaction was something like "NOW?" she yelled, but covered her mouth with her hands the next moment, realising she was talking to loud.
"Now." he repeated, always in his calm tone.
"But I didn't even told you if I would accept it!" She was now talking in a low but fast tone.
"It depends on your answer." he stood there thinking for a while. He could see she was fighting in her mind. "Let's do it." she suddenly said.
They walked into her bedroom and he could see she was shaking more than bamboo on windy days. It was actually funny to see her trying take off her shirt. He smirked. This was going to be fun. He stopped her and made her put her arms above her head. She did so, a red tone adorning her cheeks. He took off her shirt than raised his arms above his head. She felt so flustered that she realised only a few seconds after she was suposed to take off his brown shirt. They kept on this until they had no clothes. It was quite surprising for Sakura that Sasuke actually could be nice. He tried not to stare at her body while unclothing her, but she knew how hard it was to be in front of a naked person without looking at him.A few minutes later, they found themselves laying on the bed, Sakura on top of Sasuke, taking their time enjoying each other's company, even though they had been fighting a while before.
"How the heck am I going to tell my dad I'm not a virgin anymore?" She mumbled, lying her head on the was midnight and they had spent the rest of the day having sex. They would just say it was to make sure Sakura got pregnant, however, deep in their hearts, they knew it wasn't only that.
"There's no need for him to know." Sasuke replied.
