"He will want to know..." Sakura whispered scared.
"Want to know what Blossom?" Itachi asked, the two Uchiha stared at her for a while.
"Who the father of my baby is." Sakura cringed at the silence that met her ears.
…..
Sakura Haruno shifted uncomfortably underneath the penetrating stares of two Uchiha. They had just killed their enemy that had ruined their lives moments ago to only look down to see that he wasn't anymore. She had let a thought slip and was quickly cursing herself for being so stupid, now she had to deal with explaining it. Sakura sighed and bit her bottom lip, Itachi asked again.
"He would want to know... What?" Itachi's hand subtly twitched as he asked, Sakura noted.
"M-Madara would want to know who the fa-father of my child is." Sakura felt tears prick in her eyes.
"You had sex Sakura-Chan? With more than one man?" Sasuke felt his jaw open in shock.
"...Yes." Sakura closed her eyes, she was sure that she felt Itachi's eyes never leave her though.
"Oh. Well... congratulations on being pregnant though. I'm sure that your child will be amazing." Sasuke tried to smile, but instead he backed away from the growing tension.
Sakura couldn't take their intense stares anymore and ran to the direction of the village. They called out to her but she refused to listen. As if her life couldn't get more hectic the worst happens, a large man in an Akatsuki cloak acted as a wall to her face. She stumbled back and glanced back at the equally green eyes that met hers.
"Kakuzu." Sakura breathed. She knew that he was smiling underneath his mask.
"Hello bitch. I think its time I settled a score with you." Kakuzu grabbed the base of her neck before she could realize and smacked her head against a nearby tree.
"Let me go." Sakura grunted out. She attempted to kick Kakuzu but he stomped on her knee cap, earning a crunch and shrill scream.
"Your so weak. Why is that?" Kakuzu ran his hand through her hair before ripping out a chunk from it. Blood dripped down to the front of her face as she glared and thought of a plan.
"Get off of me." Sakura threatened darkly, her eyes glowed a deep green. Kakuzu gripped her throat, tired of her already. Sakura molded chakra into her hands forming them into scalpels. She smiled darkly to his surprise and sliced his hand off clean. Kakuzu screamed out in pain just in time to see Itachi and Sasuke run towards him.
"Kill that bitch! She's just a lying traitor! She betrayed us for Konoha!" Kakuzu didn't expect Sakura to grab one of her kunai and lodge it in the temple of his head, effectively killing him. Sasuke grabbed Sakura who fell to the ground panting, her eyes still glowed slightly.
"Way to go Sakura." Sasuke smiled a little. "You killed another Akatsuki member."
"...Sure." Sakura whispered through the coming pain from her knee.
"Your hurt." Itachi noticed the fresh blood on her face and now deformed and swelled kneecap.
"Lets bring her to Tsunade." Sasuke told Itachi and carried her in his arms. Sakura's eyes glowed a deep green again.
"I can do it myself." Sakura pushed herself off of Sasuke and hobbled back to a tree.
"Your in no condition to be walking around." Itachi made a move towards her.
"Who said I was walking?" A slight doubled voice came out of Sakura. She mumbled some words along with some hand signs and disappeared from sight in a 'poof'.
"Where did she learn that?" Sasuke asked.
"I have a feeling I know from who." Itachi scowled.

"Tsunade-Shishou" Sakura called out walking into her office. A note was left on her desk.
The Hokage Is Currently Working In The Hospital,
Be Back Later.
-Tsunade & Shizune.
"Great..." Sakura sighed. But at least she was safe from danger at the moment, she hadn't been able to say that to herself in a long while.
'Almost a year since... since... the scroll.'
"And you know that it was just so MUCH fun yeah?" Inner Sakura, or Misaki chimed in.
'Theres possibly only one good thing that came from all of that. And now I may have ruined it for good.'
"Ma- I mean Itachi right? He didn't look to happy at all hearing that you had slept with... him."
"If only he knew that I only did that to help protect the village." Sakura sighed once again and sat on the edge of Tsunade's desk.
"He's mad right now. Its best to stay away from him. Besides, he isn't your boyfriend. He's only a guy that you fell in love with and had sex with. Your not in the wrong for sleeping with Madara."
"Thanks. That just makes me feel so much better about myself."
"I'm just saying..."
"Well I'm done listening to you right now. I'm in a hell of a lot of pain right now and I don't have time to argue with myself when I have a possible baby on the way, a man out to kill me, take my child, and a relationship slipping through my fingers. I just need to calm down before something sets me off." Sakura put her face in her hands. "Things really are hitting the fan."
"S-SAKURAAAA!" Tsunade screamed out upon opening her office door. She ran over to her unofficial daughter and wrapped her up in a bear hug.
"I'm so glad to see you alive! I've missed you so much." A few tears fell out of Tsunade's eyes as she laughed in joy. Sakura couldn't help but shed a few tears herself as she laughed along with her.
"You don't know how much it means to me to know that you care." Sakura whispered and hugged her teacher tighter.
"Why wouldn't I? Your like a daughter to me Sakura, if you would have died then I would have died on the inside too." Tsunade smiled warmly.
"Tsunade-Shishou..." Sakura felt herself starting to blubber. "Thank you!"
"Hm? Oh no...look at your leg! And your head! What happened? I cant believe I didn't notice sooner..." Tsunade set her apprentice upon her desk to inspect her knee injury.
"I uhmn got in a fight with another Akatsuki member." Sakura blushed a little remembering her uncharacteristic behavior when Kakuzu hurt her.
"Its broken and you don't have any chakra right now to spare. Looks like I'll have to fix it myself." Tsunade's hands started to glow green. "I'll inspect the rest of your body to see if you have anymore injuries." Sakura stiffened a little at the comment.
"Theres no need Tsunade-Shishou, all that's left injured on me is my head. You can heal that and I'll go home and rest." Sakura's voice replied a little higher than usual, she always had a hard time lying to her teacher.
"You sure? Well after your done resting I'll either need you in the hospital healing our patients or going on a mission with some others to help defeat the monstrous army in our front yard. Take your pick." Tsunade sighed as she healed all of the damage to Sakura's knee.
"Can I get back to you on what I want to do when I get back?" Sakura winced as Tsunade poked her bleeding scalp.
"Hmmm. Sure, fine but just let me know quickly." Tsunade healed her scalp. "You have a patch of hair missing from your head."
"WHAT?" Sakura grabbed for the closest mirror. "It looks like I'm BALDING!" Sakura felt like punching a crater in a wall.
"Oh its not that bad. You'll just have to wear a bandanna for a while. Your headband is too small to cover the spot. Maybe a hair cut will make you look a little better...those ends do look beyond split." Tsunade picked up some of Sakura's pastel hair. "Did you take care of yourself that year you were missing? You look like a train wreck. After the war I'm going to treat you to a spa day."
"You don't have to do that, I'm fine." Sakura let Tsunade put a bandage on her head.
"Nonsense. You look like you were living in the forest the whole time. You have dirt covering you, scrapes and scars, poorly cared for hair, Sakura a hobo looks better than you right now."
"Thanks." Sakura glared, but her heart wasn't in it. She did look worse than a hobo after all.
"Where are Sasuke and Itachi by the way?" Tsunade handed her a white bandanna. "You can buy some more later, but here's a start."
"I don't know where they are. I left them back in the woods." Sakura wrapped her head tight.
"Are they okay? You had better not have left them while they were in danger..." Tsunade crossed her arms.
"No. its just I had felt really upset at the time so I left them as quickly as possible. I'm sure that they will be back in Konoha soon." Sakura's gaze lowered.
"Like right about...Now." Sasuke stepped foot into the room. "Feeling better Sakura?"
"Yeah." She tried her best to smile.
"Itachi went to the compound, so he told me to give you this scroll that contains the debriefing." Sasuke tossed Tsunade the scroll. "I have to go see Karin. I'll meet up with you later Sakura, I don't want you facing all of our old friends alone." With that the Uchiha left through the window and bounded on top of houses to his home.
"Sakura, your already to go home now. But before you go- I'll take that scratched headband. I don't want anyone to think that your a missing nin...or was one. Lets just keep that to ourselves alright?" Tsunade took Sakura's slashed headband and handed her a fresh one from her desk.
"Thank you." Sakura bowed low before she left.
"Remember to report to me in two days. Ja" Tsunade waved to her apprentice and walked out of her office as well, going the opposite direction.

Sakura sat on her queen sized bed in her one bedroom apartment. It looked exactly the same as when she left minus the part of being covered in a thick layer of dust. She forced herself to clean the whole night instead of resting, she didn't want to have time to think deeply on things. She knew that her mind was in a fragile state and could be broken easily. So now she sat on her bed, her house spotless, and couldn't help but have her mind roam.
'I wonder what Itachi is doing, is he mad at me? Is he ever going to talk to me again? Is Madara actually alive? And what are my "friends" going to think of me?'
"Does it really matter? You did what you had to do. If Itachi cant realize and respect that then you shouldn't be ready to cry over that. And your friends should be having their minds blown right now. Word is gonna catch on fast that your back, alive, and killed multiple Akatsuki members. I cant wait to take down anyone who tries to contend us. I can feel that we are stronger now."
'You really think so? Well if your confident then I should be too. I have nothing to be ashamed of... I think. And my supposed friends will feel sorry for what they did to me.' Sakura closed her eyes and laid down in her bed.
"That's great. I cant wait for tomorrow. I can tell that its going to be so much fun!" Inner Sakura laughed and quieted down for the night. They both felt tired after all of the events, being back in the comfort of their home relieved them immensely. A small amount of peace stayed in the Haruno home- at least until morning came around.
