"Sakura I am so glad you could come over so quickly!" Ino said opening the door.
"Oh it's no problem. Besides Daitaro loves to come over and play with Masato." Sakura smiled entering the house with a little dark haired, dark eyed boy clinging to her hand.
"Hi Auntie Ino" Daitaro waved. "Where's Masato?" He asked.
"Oh he's in the garden hunny." Ino smiled.
"Okay mommy can I go play now." Daitaro asked giving a cute grin.
"Sure" Sakura smiled
Daitaro took of through the house to the back door.
"Do you think they'll ever get tired of being together?" Sakura asked watching her now 7 year old son run out the back door.
"Nope, they are so close in age they think they are like brothers." Ino stated gathering a few scrolls of the table. "Besides they're just like their fathers, you can never separate them." Ino laughed.
"Yeah I guess your right."
"Well I think I have everything. I shouldn't be later then 8 o'clock. But if I am remember that…"
"I know, bath at 8:30 and bed at 9." Sakura stated rolling her eyes. "Supper no later than 6:30" She added.
Ino gave a playful glare. "Fine, then I guess I'll see you later." Ino proceeded out the door.
"Bye" Sakura waved closing the door behind her blonde friend.
Sakura headed for the kitchen. It still amazed her how beautiful the Uchiha home was, no matter how many times she came here, which was almost four times a week. She always found something new to be amazed about. It was nothing like the house her and Sai had, no there home was much smaller and not quite extravagant.
She couldn't believe her and Sai had been married 8 years next month. 'Time flew by so fast' she thought as she gazed out the window at the two young boys playing. Daitaro was only 6 months older than Masato. He was shorter than Masato by a few inches, but he made up for that with his ninja ability. Sakura was so proud of how fast he progressed at such a young age.
She was so lost in her thoughts, which she should have known better because they always make her depressed, that she didn't notice the tugging on her shirt.
"Auntie Sakura, Auntie.." Masato said tugging more roughly at her shirt now.
Sakura finally returned from her daze. "Yes Masato"
"I'm hungry" He whimpered placing a hand on his growling stomach.
"Okay well how about if I make supper then." She smiled down at him. "I'll call you two when it's ready."
"Okay"
"Hey mom can we have grilled tomatoes today? We haven't had them in such a long time. PPLLLEEAASSEE!!" Daitaro gave his puppy dog eyes.
"Sure, now go play" she said giving a small laugh.
"Thanks mom!" He replied following Masato out the door.

"So Sasuke how do think Ino will react with you coming home three days early?" Sai asked as the two Anbu sprinted through the woods.
"Probably the same way Sakura will react when you get home." Sasuke stated plainly
"Oh well in that in case maybe we both will be too tired to train tomorrow." Sai stated giving a sly smile.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and his friend, not quite sure his meaning behind it.
Sai gave a small chuckle. "Sakura can be quite the little vixen after I have been gone for this long."
Sasuke just shook his head and focused back on the gates that were now coming into view. The truth was he wished he was the one going home to Sakura. But he was foolish, he let her slip through his fingers right to Sai. He kicked himself for things that happened, but chose not to dwell on the past anymore. He did enough of that years ago.
Sakura had just finished setting the table when the two young boys rushed into the house.
"Is it ready yet?" Masato asked excitedly
"Yes, but first go wash up"
The two took off down the hallway to get washed up as fast they could. They both felt like they were starving.
Sasuke could smell the fried tomatoes as he approached the door to his home. He couldn't wait to see his family and have a good home cooked meal.
He opened the door and the sweet smell of the cooked food overwhelmed him. 'Ino must have taken cooking lessons since I've been gone.' He thought as he took off his cloak and Anbu mask setting them down on a small table next to the door.
"Ino is that you" Sakura said appearing in the doorway of the kitchen.
Sasuke stopped in his tracks. "Sakura what are you doing here?"
"Oh Sasuke….well Ino had to go and do some paper work for Tsunade and I came over to watch Masato for her."
"I see" Sasuke said as he headed past her into the kitchen.
"When did you two get back?" She turned to see him shoving a fried tomato in his mouth.
"Just now" He answered taking another one.
"Would you stop eating all the tomatoes and save some for the boys" She scolded
"You should really teach Ino how to make these." He said leaning against the counter, reaching for yet another one.
"Yes well" She began while taking the plate out of his reach. "I tried but she has no patience" She said taking the plate to the table.
Sasuke smirked; he knew how impatient his wife could be.
"You go get cleaned up and I'll set another plate. We will stay for dinner but since you two are home now I am sure Sai will want to see his son."
"Hn" He answered and pushed himself off the counter.
He walked down the hallway; he could here the two young boys hollering something from inside the bathroom. He stood in the doorway and saw Daitaro sitting on the floor his hands covering his face, Masato was crouching next to him.
"Come on don't hide Daitaro, I want to see" Masato said pulling at Daitaro's arms.
"No leave me alone!" Daitaro hollered back pulling his arms away.
"What is going on here?" Sasuke asked with a raised brow.
"Dad" Masato looked over at his dad. "Something's wrong and he won't let me look"
Sasuke walked over and crouched down in front of the Daitaro. "Let me take a look" He asked.
Daitaro shook his head. "Son go get Sakura then." Sasuke sighed.
"Okay" He said and scampered out of the room.
As soon as he was gone Daitaro spoke up. "Uncle Sasuke?"
"Hmm"
"Can you keep a secret from mommy?" He asked quietly.
Sasuke again raised his eyebrow. "What kind of secret?"
"Just don't tell her I showed you"
Now Sasuke was quite interested in what the young boy had to say. "Okay I promise"
"Do you swear not to tell?"
"Yes Daitaro I swear. Now what is it?"
Slowly Daitaro removed his hands from his face and looked up at Sasuke. Sasuke eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he was he was seeing. Right there staring at him was a pair of red eyes.
"Please, please don't tell mommy?" Daitaro pleaded covering his eyes again.
Sasuke was in shock. He couldn't understand how his bloodline was possessed by this young boy.
"Daitaro what is it" Sakura said rushing into the bathroom to her son.
"Its okay mom I just got something in my eye" He said rubbing them gently.
"Well let me take a look" She said
"No that's okay I can handle it" Sasuke said "Just leave the two of us be for a moment."
Sakura looked at him questionably, but didn't argue. She took Masato back to the kitchen for dinner. She was worried that her nightmare was going to come true.
Ten minutes had passed before the two finally joined them at the table. Sakura was now sure something happened since Sasuke had that 'I am beyond pissed' look on his face. But before she could say they should be going he spoke up first.
"Why don't you two boys take your food and eat outside today"
"Really dad? You mean we can actually eat outside" Masato eyes widened and a grin was plastered on his face.
Sasuke nodded.
Without hesitation the two boys grabbed their plates and were out the back door. Leaving Sasuke and Sakura alone in silence, Sakura however stared down at her plate, while Sasuke stared at her. She had a really bad feeling about this and did not want to deal with it right now; it was too soon she hadn't had enough time to prepare herself.
"I…..I think I should get going." She said as she quickly got up and headed for the door.
"You aren't going anywhere" Sasuke said as he grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the wall, blocking her in with an arm on either side of her.
"What are doing?" She struggled to get free.
"Explain" He hissed
"Explain what?" She glared at him, even though she knew perfectly well what he meant.
"You know what"
She continued her glare before putting her head and swearing under her breath.
"Well" He asked growing impatient.
"Would it have made a difference?" She asked quietly
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Would you have chosen me if I had told it was your child I was carrying?"
He closed his eyes, he expected this, but hearing it come from her was harder to take then he thought. Sakura took this opportunity to escape his cage.
"If you want to continue this conversation, let's do it where the boys won't hear." She said and left the kitchen.
Sasuke just stood there. He remembered the one night they had spent together years ago. For sure that was the night they conceived the son he never knew he had. But at the time they were both involved with their now spouses and kept it a secret, but for Sasuke it was a reoccurring dream. He understood how no one would notice the fact, since him and Sai had similar features, but still.
"Hey dad we're finished" Masato said walking back in followed by Daitaro. After placing their dishes in the sink they proceeded outside.
"Masato" Sasuke called
"Yes father"
"Why don't the two of you go bug Naruto for a little while?"
"Oh okay"
"Just be home by 7:30" Sasuke added
"Right see you later" They both waved.
Sasuke sighed and walked to living the room, but Sakura was no where in sight. He headed for the front the door thinking she had left.
"I didn't leave if that's what you think." She said quietly from the hallway.
Sasuke turned to see Sakura sitting on the floor leaning against the wall. Sasuke walked closer and sat down leaning on the wall across from her.
"So why didn't you tell me?" He asked again, this time his arms were crossed and his eyes closed.
"Because I didn't know"
He now opened his eyes and looked at her. "How could you have not known?"
"Sasuke I was with Sai at the time. You and I were together only one night, I assumed that you couldn't be the father."
"I see. So when did you find out I was."
She hesitated for a moment. "Two years ago, that was when it first happened."
"He was only five and the Sharingon activated" He asked amazed. Masato is 7 and his hasn't even shown up yet.
She nodded a confirmation.
He sighed and closed his eyes. This was a bad situation for the both of them. He wasn't quite sure how he should go about it. Sai was had become a close a friend of his since they joined Anbu 3 years ago. He knew how proud Sai was of his son. He knew people were going to get hurt from this.
"Would it have made a difference Sasuke?" Sakura asked again quietly.
He looked at her once again, her head was hung and her now long pink strands were shadowing her face. He always did care for deeply and there were even times he envied Sai. Of course he cared for Ino, but there was something that always drew him to Sakura that he couldn't quite explain.
"You know I don't really want know, it would just make things worse." She said standing up. "I should get home please send Daitaro home by 8" She said and walked to door.
"Sakura"
She stopped with her hand on the doorknob. "What is it?"
"I think things would be different." He said still sitting in the hallway.
She held back the tears she knew were so close to falling and left without saying a word.
