Chapter 1: Family
Sasuke woke up suddenly. He was in a nice warm bed facing the wall. Someone's arm was holding him from behind. What was this? Was this that "other world" Madara was talking about? He looked at his left hand and saw a wedding ring on his ring finger. He was married? He hoped beyond hope that he was not married to Karin. He yawned, stretched and turned over to smile at who he was married to in this dream. It was Sakura. He sighed in relief.
The question was why did he remember the old life? Was it because he was dying? If that was the case did Naruto remember too?
Sakura stirred moaning a little than looked up with an adorable smile.
"Good morning Sasuke-kun." She said to him.
"Good morning Sakura." He said with a smile. The first real smile he's had in a while. He kissed her and held her close. It was the first real time he could do this without his guard up. Still... This Sakura wasn't HIS sakura... Unknowingly a tear escaped his eye.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked gently pulling away.
Sasuke smirked. "Nothing, eyes have sleep in them that's all." He lied.
Sakura rolles her eyes. "Sure..." She said with a giggle.
That was when a little girl who looked to be about two years old waddled in and hugged them both.
"Daddy!" She said cutely wrapping her little arms around him.
Sasuke sat shocked for a second and than smiled hugging his little girl. He was a father! It was one of the things he had always wanted. He wanted to rebuild his clan and he could only doso in having children to pass on the Sharingan. That's what he knew now. What his nii-san reminded him. He had lost sight of it until he met his big brother for the last time to save the world.
"Mikoto-chan... You got out of your crib again?" Sakura smiled with a giggle.
"Of corse mommy! Uncle Itachi..." Than she gasped and put her hands on her mouth. "Oops! Im not supposed to say!" She said in a hushed voice.
Sasuke's eyes widened. His brother was still alive? She smiled and hugged his daughter close again. So her name was Mikoto... That must mean her clan was still destroyed... That was his mother's name...
"I'm going to make breakfast." Sakura smiled. "You should get ready for work." She said smiling and taking Mikoto. "And you little girl have to help mommy make breakfast."
"Ok mommy!" The adorable toddler said happily.
Sasuke smiled looking after the two. He was happy to have a family... But he knew it wasn't real. He needed to go back somehow. Maybe Naruto remembered too... He was dying too. He opened his closet to find a chunin vest and his usual Uchiha clothes. It was a nice change not wearing the outfit from he Sound. He liked being part of Konoha once again. Maybe it was peaceful...
Once he was dressed he came downstairs to find Mikoto in her high chair and Sakura serving breakfast... And Itachi was sitting entertaining Mikoto. Sasuke stood there staring at his brother for a little while but than shook i off. He had to pretend this was normal.
"Morning nii-san!" He said with a smile.
"Good morning little brother." Itachi said smiling. He got up and Sasuke thought they were going to hug... When he poked him in the forehead.
"Hey! You're never going to stop doing that are you? I'm not a kid anymore..." Sasuke pouted.
"Your never too old to mess with little brother." He said smiling and ruffling his hair.
Mikoto sat in her high chair giggling.
"And you are my cute little niece!" He said smiling and ruffling her hair. In turn Mikoto tried her best to poke Itachi in the forehead but missed. Itachi chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry one day when you have a little sibling you can do that to them!" He said with a smile.
Sasuke sat down smiling and ate his food. Sakura had always been a good cook even in this reality. He was happy for the first time in a very long time... Problem was... This wasn't his reality... They had to find a way back...
He walked out and passed the Uchiha memorial on his way. As he always did he went to pay respects... However the inscription was different. What it said... Was that Danzo was the one who killed all of the Uchiha clan. The Forth Hokage had died saving his pupil Obito who had been given the role of fifth Hokage... So Obito was Hokage now? But as he walked he saw another memorial... It was for the forth great ninja war. Apparently in this world they had already won it. It said that Obito had perished but... The new Hokage was...Naruto?
