Four years later...
Nothing really works out as the day goes by...
it doesn't help with the fact that everything you do in your power, it becomes useless..
it wasn't the fact that you were alone in a place where no one knew you well. Nor the fact you have to do everything on your own. Moving from village to smaller villages to hide from those who will seek. Hiding in shadows of deepest places to be unseen by those who will ask. Hiding to protect what is most important to your life is the hardest thing to do with being a single mother of two beautiful boys, having them protected from the those who will seek, who will do anything to take her precious boys away from her.
Haruno Sakura was living in the outskirts, between Konoha and Suna. It was the safest place to be and also a good open forest to be living in cause of its scenery. Dark , but not scary. Dangerous but also breath taking as where the house was.
The beautiful lodge house was close by a river between two mountains that was covered in snow, the river was covered in ice which was a satisfying thing for her boys.
Yes it was winter.
Almost the end of winter. Sakura couldn't help but smile as she glanced outside or her closed window with a warm green tea in her hands to keep her warm. She watched how Kazuki ( 1 ) her eldest of the twins to be born first. His hair kept short just under his chin , nice shinning black color. His eyes was startling when he first opened them. They were her eyes. The very emerald that are rare to have. He was laughing at what his younger twin Akira had made a failed attempt of making an angel.
Akira hair was also the same length as his brothers, but his eyes were slightly different. One eye was onyx and the other was emerald. Which was more of a surprise to the rosette woman. She had never thought that would happened but she was happy with them both. Kazuki and Akira meant everything to her.
But Sakura knew she would be lying to herself. She knew she still harbored those painful feelings for the man who helped create beautiful boys. But she knew she couldn't do anything about it.
" it was for the best" Sakura whispered to herself as a single tear slid down her face.
"..."
Awkward silence was the only thing in this house hold. Ever since..that incident...
Sasuke would never forgive his brother for what he done to his Teammate those four years ago. Even his cousin Shishui agreed with him.
Sasuke was outside sitting by the small pond by the porch. It was his favorite spot to be when his mind was clouded.
Today was suppose to be the announcement of Naruto's engagement to the Hyuga heiress Hinata.
He smiled at that. " finally the dobe managed to ask her" he muttered. But he couldn't help but feel pain in the pit of his stomach. "it's not the same with your annoying voice here Sakura"..
Sasuke remembered the time when he found out of Sakura's departure.. or whatever people want to say it these days.
FLASHBACK...
" WHAT YOU MEAN SHE LEFT!" yelled the blonde hair knucklehead ninja.
" what the dobe said" Sasuke said but it was more directed to his brother who was silent and starring else where. But Sasuke knew where his older brothers mind went to. He knew about the secret meetings he's been having with Sakura.
Itachi could feel both his brothers and Naruto's aura's turning from sadness to anger and quickly trying to stay calm. But he knew his brother was glaring at him. Itachi knew that Sasuke knew of his relationship with his teammate Sakura.
Kakashi was also glaring at the dam Uchiha. " are you going to explain Itachi or am I going to hear it from the hokage." he growled out
this cause Naruto to look at the elder uchiha. His eyes. His eyes narrowed into slits. " IT YOUR FAULT WASN"T IT!"
Itachi head was bowed down fist clenched and trembling with anger. " yes.." he whispered. " It's my fault she left...it's my fault..." Itachi said quietly wincing when he felt a fist collied with his face making him step back a bit and looking up at Kakashi who had hit him.
Kakashi was angry alright. Very angry indeed. Which was a surprise. He was not a easy man to anger, quite frankly today was a bad day for the lazy ass sensei had today's news just hit his annoyance further.
" you agreed to Fathers terms..." Sasuke said quietly. He wouldn't look Itachi in the eyes not with shame that he felt for his elder brother. " you knew how it will affect Sakura and yet you still went for it."
Itachi wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Sasuke. " I was going to end it with the clan when I conferred everything before-
" BEFORE WHAT! WHEN SAKURA SAW YOU AT THE ALTER WITH ANOTHER WOMAN! OR WHEN YOU MADE SURE SHE WOULD STAY with YOU AS A TOY" Sasuke yelled. He never felt so much anger towards his brother.
" YOU PROMISED ITACHI YOU BLOODY PROMISED! "
Itachi kept calm and ease when Sasuke said that. He knew his brother was right but he'll will not admit it.. not yet. Not when he already lost the one he loved. Not when..he will never see his child. Itachi could feel his chest tightening. As he remembered the words from the letter
" dont come looking for me. CAUSE YOU"LL NEVER FIND ME"
Sasuke and the other two wanted to beat Itachi to a dam pulp that they did not know that the Uchiha's Parents were standing outside of hokage's office.
" I',m sorry" was all Itachi could say. " im sorry...i will find her! Even if it means leaving the clan to search for her!. Even if it means she wil never forgive me for what i've done to her... leaving her to be responsible of taking care of our child..." Itachi paused. He raised his head looking straight at Sasuke which made him frezze at the look his brohter gave him
" responsible for raising our child alone" he whispered as Itachi eyes were filled so much guilt and pain. That there were tears pooling in his eyes wanting to spill. But Itachi was too stubborn to let them fall.
END OF FLASHBACK..
Sasuke clenched his eyes tightly as he remembered the way his brothers eyes were fulled with sorrow and pain. Fulled so much emotion that he did not know that his Aniki could hold.
Breaking out of his thoughts he felt someone sit next to him and he opened his eyes to see Itachi starring at the pond.
"h,n ?" Sasuke asked.
Itachi stayed silent for awhile and look at the dark skies above where the stars shone so brightly.
" I mis her" was all came out of elder Uchiha until they heard there mother calling them inside for dinner.
Sasuke could only stare at his brother and did not know what to say to him. So he stood and headed towards the sliding door to the main house.
" aniki :
"h,n"
" why..why didn't you carrying on with the preparations for your engagement fours years ago"
Sasuke asked. He did not turn to look at his brother as he waited for his answer.
"because Sasuke. Losing something that has more meaning than anything isn't worth being with someone who will not receive the end of the deal. I only accepted to make father happy. Even if it means risking that one thing. Only to backfires to the point where you can only hope for...for anything but this"
Sasuke turned to see his brother still starring at the stars. And smiled at his brothers words. He walked back to now cold spot on the ground and he too starred at the stars with is brother.
" we will find her. Even if it means breaking everything with father and the clan" sasuke whispered to his brother and Itachi could not help but smile at his brothers comfort.
"thank you Sasuke"
THE END.
