Uchiha Sasuke arrived at Konoha 2 years ago, after 6 years, he fulfilled his goal: eliminate Uchiha Itachi. To be honest, it wasn't easy at first. People avoided Sasuke and his teammates. The elders tried to execute a trial for team Hebi, but to no avail, thanks to Tsunade, Naruto and Sakura. Konoha 12 feels uneasy every time they are near the vicinity, especially Sakura. But after some time, they loosened up, and acted normal to them.
Konoha 12 knows about Sakura's feelings towards Sasuke since they were genins. Sakura is the only one who doesn't have any commitment to the opposite sex. Sasuke thought that she might have forgotten him. Sakura begs to differ. Her simple Sasuke obsession turned out into unrequited love. Even if Sasuke betrayed the village, left her on a cold bench, tried to kill her and Naruto and even if Sasuke chose to ignore her thinking that she is still the same annoying fan-girl.
Sasuke, however, starts to fall for Karin, his annoying and fan-girl teammate. Karin falls for him too. After Sasuke revealed his feelings for Karin, everything changed. Sasuke became more open. He smiles rarely, only for Karin to see. Karin shuts herself up more often, not needing Suigetsu to give her a healthy 'shut up' once in a while. They thought nobody noticed, but they really didn't notice Sakura's sad aura every time she sees them walking together while staring at each other lovingly, not minding the people around them.
For Sakura, her shattered heart gets stepped on every time she sees the couple. She stares at them longingly, closes her eyes, breathes in, and leaves, a lone tear falls. She always stayed true to her words. Her words, those three short and meaningful words… She never stayed away from it. Every single day that Kami makes, she loves him. She loves him even if it hurts! But why can't Sasuke see it?
Then one special night, Sasuke knocked on Sakura's house, drunk and oblivious to the world. Sakura, thinking it was Ino, rushed to open the door and invite her in. But when the door opened, she saw Sasuke, in a drunken state. She helped him, soothed his headache and lessened his pain. She wanted to tell him everything, but then she realized that he got Karin by his side now. Sakura decided to call Karin, but stopped by a pair of warm lips on hers. Sakura tried to resist, but Sasuke held her on an iron-grip force. They ended up on the bed, but then after doing it, Sakura slept, and then a sober Sasuke left.
When Sakura woke up, she was hoping to see Sasuke beside her, but then her hopes crashed down when she realized that he had Karin to be with. She remembers everything. It was her first, and it hurts. She never felt like it was right. "If it feels right, then it's right." Ino's voice echoed on her mind. Then she remembered that they didn't use any protection. Hot tears fell on her porcelain face, clutching her abdomen. Everything will be alright. Her mind repeats it all over again. From that day, she bonded with the girls, temporarily forgetting about what happened on her birthday.
After two months after what happened, Sakura woke up and immediately ran towards the bathroom. She vomited like there's not tomorrow. But then she remembered about the night. She immediately went to Tsunade, wishing that she could help about her problem.
"I think I'm pregnant." Sakura's hushed voice echoed to Tsunade's ears, completely stopping the Sannin from her work.
"You're pregnant?" Tsunade's amber eyes widened as she stared at Sakura's petite form.
"I think. That's why I want you to check me up." Sakura's viridian orbs stared at the ground, head hung low.
"Okay. But who's the father? You don't do one night stand, Sakura. I know you." Tsunade's voice turned instantly from a shocked to a motherly, comforting voice.
"Sasuke." Sakura softly said while her emerald eyes began tearing up.
"Oh. Let's do the check-up." Tsunade clenched her fists when she heard that bastards name before she stood up, held Sakura's hand and walked together.
On the way to the hospital, they saw Sasuke and Karin together, buying tomatoes. Sakura's gaze went to the ground as she clutched her abdomen. They met Ino on the way, and Sakura told her about her current state, and Ino instantly turned her heel, and walked with them together towards the hospital.
After a few hours later, Tsunade confirmed that she was pregnant. Tsunade wanted to talk to Sasuke and ask if he was going to help Sakura raise the child, but Sakura stopped her.
"I'll give my love for Sasuke to this little fellow." Sakura looked at her abdomen lovingly, a gentle hand caressing it.
Ino walked Sakura home, and helped her with chores, knowing that pregnant women shouldn't do much. Sakura told Ino to announce her state to Konoha 12 only with Sai, Temari Kankuro and Gaara, but excluding Sasuke's team the next day. After Ino helped her with her chores, Sakura went to her bedroom, and went straight to bed. Before sleeping, her hand unconsciously placed itself on her abdomen. We'll be okay. I'll make sure you'll be okay. She assures her baby, and she sleeps with a smile on her face. Sometimes, even the wrong move can make a person feel so right.
The next day, after Ino announced it to the gang, they immediately went to Sakura's house, and visited her. Sakura opened the door with a smile on her face as she saw her true friends smiling for her new companion. They pep talked her, telling her the dos and don'ts on parenting. Sakura learned a lot from them, and also served some healthy punches to Sai. They all had fun time together, and Sakura temporarily forgot about Sasuke. All she needs are her friends and her baby.
After 6 months of laughing and hanging out with the gang on her house with a baby bump, Sakura's heart slowly started to heal, but the pain seeing Sasuke and Karin together walking at her backyard stays. The difference is that it doesn't hurt like hell, like before. She would smile at them, turn around and wish them a happy life. Every time Karin passes her house, Sakura would greet her, and have a small conversation. With Sasuke, however, she would smile at him and then leave. Sasuke never got the chance to give back a rare smile at her. He really cannot remember what happened on that night.
Sakura was on a 'house arrest' given by Ino, Tenten, Hinata and Temari. Tsunade was reluctant on signing the paper, but then when she heard the words 'Sasuke', 'know' and 'pregnant' on the same sentence, she immediately signed the paper. The guys (Neji, Shikamaru, Naruto and Sai) shops for the groceries, and the girls stay at Sakura's house, as if it's a sleepover. The guys were their maids; they do the cooking, cleaning, and joking around.
One day, while Sakura was laughing due to Naruto's crazy antics, she suddenly stopped, and the people around noticed her abrupt stop on laughing. Sakura stared at them for a few seconds, and then softly whispered.
"My water broke."
That one line caused chaos on the house, and Naruto immediately poofed them to the hospital. Tsunade was there, and after hearing those 3 words, she immediately broke the eardrums of the staff in the hospital.
"OUT OF THE FRIGGIN' WAY! PREGNANT WOMAN ON THE WAY!"
Tsunade rushed Sakura to the delivery room, and did the necessary procedures. The gang was in the room too, giving moral support to Sakura. Naruto and Sai held Sakura's hands, and Sakura, being Sakura, crushed them. Ino was assisting Tsunade, and the guys were just comforting Naruto and Sai for their hands were broken.
After 30 minutes of giving birth, a baby's cry was heard in the room.
"Sakura, it's a girl." Tsunade's amber eyes twinkled, as so as the people around them, except for the guys.
"What will you name her, Sakura?" Ino's soothing voice helped Sakura think.
"Ai. Haruno Ai." Sakura panted, still tired from the labor.
"A blooming field of love. Haruno Ai." Tenten whispered to herself in a dreamy state.
"Sleep, Sakura. You'll see her later." Tsunade ordered, and left the room, carrying Ai.
After the delivery, Sakura smiled, and then slept. She was happy that her child was delivered okay, and that she was okay. Her friends guarded her like they are her parents, and they made sure no one can touch her.
The gang saw Ai, Sakura's daughter, sleeping peacefully on the nursery. Thin wisps of jet black hair and pink crowned her small face, eyes imitating her mother's but with the hint of onyx, making it the color of dark emeralds. Her skin is like of Sasuke's and Sakura's well mixed porcelain. Her nose is like Sasuke's. They stared at the kid with awe, all of them thinking that Sakura will be the best mother in the world.
After Sakura and Ai are released from the hospital after a few days, Karin, who is with Sasuke, noticed the child on Sakura's arms. Her curiosity triggered her legs, walking towards Sakura, dragging Sasuke.
"Hey Sakura!" Karin smiled at Sakura warmly.
"Hey Karin." Sakura's smile dazzled Karin, leaving her staring at Sakura's eyes for a few seconds.
"Oh! Uhm, who's the kid?" Karin pointed at the small child, eyes filled with curiosity.
"Oh! This is Ai. Haruno Ai. My daughter." Sakura proudly presented her child, letting Karin and Sasuke see her.
"WOW! She got black and pink hair! Awesome! But hey, who's the father?" Karin asked Sakura, whispering.
"Oh! That? Nah, no one's a father. I got raped." Sakura's head hung low, pretending to be sad.
"When? Are you emotionally okay now?" Karin asked worriedly, eyes full of rage.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Besides, I have my friends around."Sakura beamed, eyes twinkling.
"If you need anything, call me, okay?" Karin sincerely offered.
"Sure." Sakura said, before leaving.
"Take care on your way home!" Karin bellowed.
"Okay! I will!" Sakura's voice filled the couple's ears.
Sasuke just stayed silent, head full of thoughts. Who will rape Sakura anyway? And why is it that her child just looks like him? Questions filled Sasuke's thoughts. Karin, on the other hand, felt happy for Sakura. At least she will love someone now… Karin thought.
After 6 years, Haruno Ai grew as a pretty kid. She is tall for her age; long, jet-black hair with pink streaks at the bottom adorned her head and ended at the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her dark-emerald orbs shine every time she smiles, a lone dimple adorning her cheek in every word she says. She inherited Sakura's great chakra control, knowledge for medicines, short temper and her sweet personality. She also got Sasuke's sharingan, which she perfected at the age of 4 years old with the help of Kakashi. Kakashi knew about Ai, and it's all because of Naruto's fault. He asked Sakura about Ai, and then Kakashi got curious that he eavesdropped at the two. Kakashi squeezed the juicy details, and then he rushed, grabbing Sakura's hand, to meet his new nephew.
Sasuke and Karin got married a few weeks later Sakura gave birth to Ai. They got twins, Aka Uchiha (1) and Kuro Uchiha(2). Aka is a redhead while Kuro's hair is jet black. They didn't inherit the Uchiha's kekkei genkai, the Sharingan. But he wasn't mad; in fact he treated them equally. He never wanted to be like his father, a parent that wanted both his kids to be the best. Sasuke never learned about Ai for the six years that Ai was hidden.
-time skip-
After a few weeks, the academy opened, and Sakura made Ai attend her first day of class. Sakura accompanied Ai towards the gates, but then stopped. Ai simply said that she can survive her first day of class. On the way to her classroom, she met Aka and Kuro, who were lost. They instantly became friends. The day ended good for the trio. They laughed hard, they played hard and they spoke a lot. It was their everyday routine. They would wait for Ai, and walk together, linked by their arms towards the room. Break time was used by sharing stories of adventure and love about their parents. After classes on a certain day, Ai retold her mother's love story when she remembered that Aka and Kuro's father is an Uchiha.
"Mom fell in love with a certain Uchiha." Ai said while munching on her sandwich.
"Really? I thought father was the last Uchiha?" Aka asked Kuro, who was deep in thought about Ai's story.
"You know, mom fell in love with the last Uchiha. I think it's Saskay or Sasugay… I am not sure. You know him?"Ai asked Kuro while pointing her toothpick at Aka.
"Sasuke." Kuro corrected Ai.
"Yeah! Sasuke. He left her on a bench after my mom confessed." Ai recalled, eyes gazing at the blue skies.
"I know that story." Kuro said, grabbing the attention of Ai and Aka.
"Dad said that he left Konoha to kill his brother." Kuro continued. Aka's confused face shifted into a face that looks like she remembered something.
"He also said that a girl confessed to her, and left her on a bench. She said that he loves him, but he doesn't believe her." Aka added, not noticing Ai's shocked expression except for Kuro, who's been staring at Ai for a few seconds.
"Don't tell me…" Kuro said, eyes widening as he saw Ai sobbing.
"… The girl in the story is your mom?" Aka's shocked voice echoed at the playground.
"Yeah…" Ai sobbed, head hung low.
"I feel dad." Aka and Kuro simultaneously said.
"Oh. Bye now. I think my mom's waiting for me." Ai stood up.
"Wait! We want you to meet our father." Aka grabbed Ai's hand, and dragged her.
"But my mom!" Ai protested, but she couldn't stop Aka from grabbing her.
"DAD! Guess who's our new friend!" Aka shouted, and the said person turned around.
"Aka. Kuro. Hello." Sasuke patted Aka and Kuro's head, and looked at Ai with a questioning glance.
"She's Haruno Ai! Her mom was the girl that you told us, the one that you didn't believe her love?" Aka said, introducing Ai.
"Aa. Hello, Ai." Sasuke offered his hand to Ai, whose head hung low, bangs covering her eyes.
Ai's eyes turned red as she heard Akako's introduction, so she hung her head low. Sasuke noticed it, but when he was about to bend and see the kid's features, Ai's head snapped up, Sharingan eyes swirling.
"You left her on a bench. A COLD BENCH. You even tried to kill her. Twice!" Ai seethed. Ai's anger rose up when Sasuke tried to hold her shoulders to calm her down. Sasuke ordered Aka and Kuro to go home, and they obeyed.
"Don't touch me! You know how hard it is for me to see her crying every night… " Ai pried Sasuke's hands off her shoulder.
"Ai!" Sakura's voice made Ai stop, her eyes instantly returned to normal dark-emerald shade.
"Mom!" Ai broke free from Sasuke's grasp, and ran away to meet her mother.
Sharingan... Sakura... Ai... No, it can't be it. I was the one who raped her? When?
(1) Aka- Red
(2) Kuro- Black
