CHAPTER 1


'bla bla bla' = Sakura's inner talk

bla bla bla = Sasuke's inner talk


It was a bright sunny day on Monday without any single sign that the rain will pour down to earth. A young married couple just got back from their honeymoon. They were walking to the direction of Uchiha Compound. Why? Because the new husband is the last Uchiha, Uchiha Sasuke and the new wife is a woman with pink hair. Yes it is Haruno Sakura. They got married two weeks ago which was a year after the end of the war in Konoha. This day was the first time they will stay at Uchiha Compound. It was the first time too for Sasuke to step his feet back to his own compound because for all these times after the war had ended and he decided to stay in Konoha again, he was staying at an apartment. Actually he didn't want to come back to the compound, because it will just flooded his mind with unwanted memories. Memories of the massacre of his clan. But now after the marriage, he decided to move back so he could give a larger place to stay for his new little family which will going to be not a little anymore when they have children of their own eventually.

"Sasuke? What's wrong with you?"

Sasuke lifted his head to see a worry and concern face of his new wife. He was too busy with his own mind so he didn't realize that they were standing right in front of the front door of Uchiha Compound.

"Nothing." He said blankly.

"Then why don't you open the door?" Sakura asked still with a bit concern in her tone.

"Hn" He said as he took out the key from his pocket, unlocking the door.

Sakura stepped in to the inside of the compound, looking around every rooms in the compound. The living room, kitchen, bathrooms, and the bedrooms were clean, neat and complete with all the furniture.

"Sasuke, how come this place is so clean like somebody is living in here? I thought you told me that no one lives here after the incident with your entire clan.." Sakura asked as she approached her husband at the living room.

"Hn. I paid a few people to clean this compound for us." He answered as he sat down on the white sofa. "You like it?" He asked with a smirk on his handsome face.

"Ye, I love it Sasuke. Thank you." She smiled, throwing herself to his lap. She lingered her hands around his neck, kissing his lips slightly. Sasuke wanted more kisses but Sakura stopped him, covering his lips with her small hand.

"Not now Sasuke." She giggled. " I want to put our clothes in the wardrobe and then I will make us a dinner, and then....." She trailed off, smiling seductively to her husband.

"Then what?" He asked playfully.

"You can do whatever you want." She whispered to his ear sexily as she got up from his lap and ran upstairs to their bedroom, giggling on the way there. He grunted by his wife action, walking to the bathroom to get a fresh shower and relaxation for his body.


Unpacked their stuff and made dinner together right after they just got back from their honeymoon were extremely exhausting for them. It caused them to fall asleep, forgetting what Sakura had promised to him when she whispered to his ear this afternoon. They were sleeping peacefully, snuggling to each other. It was ten minutes going to midnight when Sakura felt thirsty. So she got up slowly, not wanted to wake her husband. She straightened her night gown, walking out from their bedroom. She stepped down on the stair to reach the kitchen which placed right on the left turn after the stair.

Trek...Trek...Trek....

A sound was heard when she only just took one step down the stair. Curiosity filled her mind, she raised her brows slightly. She took one step again slowly. The sound was still heard, it sounded like someone was making a coffee or tea and stirring it. Her sense as kunoichi made her gathering her chakra into a fist, ready to punch whoever dare to break in to her house. She stepped down again slowly.

Cuurrr....cur...cuurr....

Now a sound of water on the sink was heard, like someone was washing something. Sakura's heart began to beat more faster. The sound sent shivers to her spine.

'It's creepy. How about if it's not human?' Sakura thought to herself as she reminded the massacre which happen in this compound. She inhaled a deep breath, stepping down again. Only five more steps until she reached the bottom of the stairs. She walked slowly, beads of cold sweats appeared on her face.

She arrived at the bottom of the stairs. Now the biggest task needed to be done, to check the kitchen. Sakura leaned her back to the wall, trying to prepare her heart to take a peep to the left turn where the kitchen was. She wanted to act bravely but her body betrayed her, she was shaking with unknown fear. She inhaled a deep breath again, deciding to peep a bit to the kitchen from where she standing right now. She turned her body around so she now leaned her chest to the wall. She moved her head a bit from behind the wall, but her eyes were closed.

"Okay Sakura, it's okay."

"One" She still closed her eyes as she counted to three to open her emerald eyes.

"Two"

"Thre...."

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" She screamed loudly. Right when she was going to open her eyes, a hand was holding her shoulder from behind.

"Sakura!? What's wrong? It's me."

Sakura recognized the voice, turning her body around to face the owner of the hand on her shoulder.

"Sasuke, you scared me!!!" Sakura shouted as she placed her hand to her chest, trying to sooth her fast heart beats.

"Hn. What's wrong?" He caressed her cheek.

"i felt thirsty so I wanted to take a glass of water, but when I was stepping down the stair, I heard some weird noises like...I don't know....it was like someone was making a coffee or something and then washing something. I don't know....." She explained between her sob.

Looking his wife being panic like this caused him to worry.

"Sshhhhh. It's okay. Don't be scared, I'm here." he hugged her, trying to calm her down.

"I'll check the kitchen for you." He told as he loosen his embrace.

"But Sasuke...." She clutched tightly to his shirt.

"It's okay." Sasuke walked in to the kitchen with Sakura behind, still clutching to her husband's shirt.

"See, there is nothing in here." Sasuke said as Sakura opened up her eyes to see the kitchen. Her husband war right, there was nothing or anybody in here. But how come, she definitely sure she heard all the noises.

"But Sasuke, I really heard something." She tried to assure her husband.

"Sakura, I don't feel any strange chakra in here. Maybe you just tired so you imagined something. Let's go to bed, you need some rest." He said calmly, lingering her waist and bringing his wife back to their bedroom.


The got back to their bed. Sakura tried to fall asleep back. She closed her eyes but her mind still wandered around to the event just a few minutes ago. It last until ten minutes when she was finally drifted to a deep slumber with her husband hugged her close to his broad chest.
