CHAPTER 1-Madara's Nightmare

Sakura was in her office. She sighed happily and stretched her arms; she had finally completed her paperwork.

It had been years since Sakura had the job of ANBU investigation squad captain and it didn't seem to get any easier. On top of that, Sakura had a role as a mom to a four year old boy. Both she and Sasuke were always stressed out from work and taking care of the child. Not that he was any trouble though.

Sakura examined her bubble gum colored hair. It had grown longer and now it reached her mid-back. She had never gotten the time to cut it. She sighed as she tied up her hair in a messy bun. She stood up from her chair and packed up her things, getting ready to leave.

She grabbed her bag and walked towards the door. She stopped to stare at her reflection in the mirror that hung on the wall. Dark circles formed under her emerald green eyes and her hair was losing its sheen. She hadn't slept for days because of three reasons: Madara, work and nightmares.

Sakura had been having nightmares from a certain incident from two years ago On top of that, she was stressed with all the scary images in her dream. It wasn't related to anything from the incident two years ago. Heck, she had no idea from where it came from! But it was enough to keep her awake at night.

'Maybe I should ask Itachi for a day off.' She thought to herself.

She headed for the elevator. In the hall way, she passed some of the ANBU members, who bowed to her in respect. She simply nodded and kept walking ahead towards the elevator.

She stepped inside the lift after a couple of the medical team got off. After the doors closed, she sat on the elevator floor and sighed. She was so very tired. She leaned against the walls of the elevator, her eyes slowly drooping lower and lower. . .

Her eyes suddenly snapped open. She shook her head; she can't sleep in the elevator! She laughed at her own foolishness and stood up. A part of her was scared to fall asleep, feeling that the nightmares would haunt her again.

She didn't know how or when but she felt herself falling forward as the doors of the elevators opened.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Oh come on teme!" the hyper blonde man yelled while throwing his hands in the air.

"Hn." The onyx-eyed man grunted in annoyance.

People were starting to stare at the two presidents, who were making such a commotion. That too in the hallway! But one glare from Sasuke and they all went back to what they were doing.

Sasuke ran his hand through his spiky raven locks, "For God's sake Dobe, stop being so loud."

Naruto quieted down but he didn't stop with his babbling, "Come on! It will be fun."

"We are already married; we aren't single anymore!" Sasuke hissed.

"But come on; since when is strip club not fun?!" Naruto said with a foxy grin.

Sasuke sighed. Shikamaru's birthday was coming up and Naruto was suggesting all the guys go to a strip club for fun. Sheesh, had he forgotten that he had a wife and two kids at home!

"What about our wives? I doubt Hinata will be pleased. " Sasuke said as he raised his eyebrow.

"Hinata-chan told me to go have fun," Naruto beamed. "But no hooking up."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "What about the other girls?"

Naruto sighed, "Well when I was talking to Sai about it, Ino heard us."

Sasuke smirked, knowing Ino's feelings towards these things, "So your plan backfired on you."

Naruto stuck his tongue out and then he grinned, "She was okay with it. Besides, she has to stay home with the baby remember? The same goes with Tenten and Temari. Oh come on teme! Hot chicks! Stripers!"

"I have a wife and son, thank you very much." Sasuke said monotonously.

Naruto pouted, "I'll talk to Sakura-chan then."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. Whether if he went or not, he'd never cheat on Sakura for the world. Besides, he was happily married. There was no need for him to fantasize about other women.

Sasuke pressed the elevator button and waited. He looked at Naruto, "So you convinced Neji, Sai and Shikamaru?"

"Yup," Naruto said with a grin. "I wanted to call Itachi too but he's away on a mission." Sasuke envied his brother. He wished he could go on ANBU missions and get away from Naruto's annoyingness.

"I'm talking to Sakura-chan," said Naruto. "If she says no, then it's no but if she agrees, it's a yes."

The elevator doors opened and Sasuke was greeted by his pink-haired wife falling into his arms. Naruto looked at her with concern, "Oh God! Is she okay?"

Sakura sighed in Sasuke's arms and snuggled closer to him. Sasuke smirked, "Aa. She's okay." He knew Sakura was over working herself and that she had to take care of Madara as well. She had told him she had insomnia. She deserved rest.

Sasuke lifted his wife bridal style and stepped into the elevator, Naruto followed him in. Naruto looked at Sakura and smiled, "She seems stressed."

Sasuke sighed, "She's been working twenty four hours straight for two weeks. On top of that, there's Madara.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head, "Maybe you shouldn't go to a strip club since your wife needs all the help she can get."

Sasuke was about to agree when Sakura's voice startled him, "Strip club?"

Sakura moaned softly and rubbed her eyes. Sasuke leaned down to kiss her eyelids, "Go back to sleep."

Sakura's eyes snapped open and she groaned, "I fell asleep in the elevator!"

Naruto laughed, "Don't worry Sakura-chan. You were just tired."

Sakura looked at the two and raised her eyebrow, "What's this talk about a strip club?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes as Naruto explained his so-called brilliant plan of taking the guys out to a strip club for Shikamaru's birthday.

"It'll be awesome if teme could come," said Naruto. "But you seem really stressed and all so he can pass on it."

Sakura shook her head, "No I think Sasuke should go."

Sasuke couldn't believe his ears, "What?"

Sakura smiled at her husband, "I know about the Strip Club thing. Ino told me. We're planning on having a Girls Night In with the kids as well. You guys go have fun."

Naruto cheered and hugged Sakura, "Sakura-chan, you're awesome."

Sasuke sighed and crossed his arms, "Wonderful."

Sakura smirked at her husband, "But don't go cheating on me." Sasuke smirked and kissed her nose. She noticed she was still in Sasuke's arms so gestured for him to put her down.

Naruto gave her a nice guy pose, "Don't worry Sakura-chan; I'll take care of teme!"

"You can't even take care of yourself." Sasuke muttered.

"Teme!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Dobe."

"Teme!"

"Dobe."

Sakura sighed and shook her head; will these two ever grow up?

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sasuke and Sakura drove to The Uzumaki Residence to pick up Madara. Hinata, being the sweet person she was, offered to babysit Madara when Sasuke and Sakura were at work.

Sasuke waited in the car as Sakura went towards the house. Hinata was on the porch reading a book and stood up when she saw the couple. Hinata hadn't changed much in all these years. Her indigo hair was tied in a loose ponytail and she was wearing a simple cream colored dress.

She was holding her one year old daughter, Momo, in her arms. Momo was Hinata and Naruto's second child and she had Naruto's blonde hair but Hinata's lilac eyes. She cooed happily in Hinata's arms.

"Good evening Sakura-chan." Hinata greeted with a smile.

Sakura smiled back, "Good evening Hinata-chan. Hope Madara wasn't of trouble to you."

Hinata laughed quietly, "You always ask me that. He's a sweet little angel. He's never a trouble to me."

"That's good to know," Sakura replied. She looked at the baby in Hinata's arms. "Hello Momo."

Momo simply laughed and clapped her chubby little hands. Hinata smiled, "Momo-chan, give aunty Sakura a kiss." Momo leaned forward a kissed Sakura's cheek. Sakura in return laughed and kissed the child's forehead.

"Madara-chan, your mother is here to get you." Hinata called into the house.

Sakura smiled when she saw Madara coming out of the house with Hinata and Naruto's son, Jiraiya Sakura smiled; Jiraiya was the spitting image of his father with the same blond hair, mischievous blue eyes and wild behavior. He was named after Naruto's godfather, who had died a few months after the birth of Naruto's own son.

Her smile grew wider as she saw Madara. He was a miniature Sasuke. His eyes were the same onyx color and his midnight blue hair was rebelliously spiked up at the back. He was calm and patient for a four year old and according to Fugaku, Sasuke's father, even though he looked like his father, his behavior was just like Itachi's. He was very smart for a child his age and often reminded Sakura of the person he was named after.

"Aunty Sakura!" Jiraiya yelled as he tackled Sakura with a hug.

Sakura laughed and hugged back, "Hey there buddy!"

Jiraiya pouted, "Aunty, Madara's a cheater."

Sakura looked at her son, who had his hands in his pocket, "Is that true?"

Jiraiya nodded vigorously, "Yeah, when we were playing Monopoly!"

Madara rolled his eyes, "Not my fault you don't know the rules."

Jiraiya stuck his tongue out at the young Uchiha, "Shut up!"

Sakura kissed her son's forehead and then ruffled Jiraiya's hair, "Be nice, you two."

Hinata giggled, "Jiraiya-chan, say goodbye to Madara-chan and Aunty Sakura."

Jiraiya hugged Sakura, "Bye aunty!" Sakura laughed and bid her goodbye as well.

Jiraiya then looked at Madara who looked back at the blonde boy lazily. Jiraiya simply huffed and looked away. Madara shook his head and politely said goodbye to Hinata. Sakura and Madara started to walk towards the car.

Madara climbed in the back and greeted his father, who grunted in response. Sakura slapped her husband's arm playfully, "Stop that; you'll give our son the same bad habits."

Sasuke smirked at her, "Hn." Sakura rolled her eyes.

They drove home in silence. Sakura glanced outside to see that the dark sky was twinkling with tiny little stars. She smiled softly at the sight; the night was a calm and peaceful one. She saw a shooting star and quickly closed her eyes to make a wish; before she didn't believe in such things but now she did. After all, she had made a wish once years ago, on a shooting star, and it had come true. She wished for her family's well-being. She opened her eyes and sighed quietly.

"What did you wish for?" Madara's voice broke through the silence.

Sakura grinned and looked at her son in the back. She placed a finger on her lip, "I can't reveal it unless it comes true. Did you wish?"

Madara nodded. Sakura raised an eyebrow at him, "And what did you wish for, young man?"

Madara smirked cockily and Sakura was shocked by how it the perfect replica of her husband's. The boy held his finger to his lips, just like his mother had done earlier, "I can't reveal it unless it comes true."

Sakura huffed, "Fine."

Sasuke chuckled at his wife, for being outsmarted by their son, and earned himself a glare from the pink haired woman.

Once they reached home, Sakura stretched her arms and turned to the boys, "So guys what do you want for dinner?"

"I'm fine with this." Sasuke said as he grabbed a tomato from the basket on the table. They were currently in the kitchen.

Madara's little hand reached towards the basket and he too grabbed a tomato, "Me too mom. I ate at Aunty Hinata's."

Sakura shrugged, "Okay then. I ate ramen earlier so I'm not that hungry. Madara go drink your milk sweetie."

Madara obeyed his mother and went to the fridge. He took out the milk carton and poured himself a glass.

"Milk and tomatoes?" said Sasuke as he raised an eyebrow at his son. "You sure that's a good combination?" Madara simply shrugged in response.

He put the carton back in the fridge and looked at his mother, "Mom, you should sleep; you look really tired."

Sakura smiled and ruffled his hair, "I will; thanks sweetie."

Madara wished his parents good night and went to his own room.

His room was a simple one with light blue wallpaper and polished wooden floors. His bed had dark blue blankets and white pillows and it was pretty clean. All his books were arranged neatly on low bookshelf, all his toys were inside a large trunk and his cupboard was closed tightly.

He changed into his black pajamas and climbed into bed. After he finished drinking his milk and eating his tomato, he placed the glass on the side table and pulled the covers over his head. His mother insisted he sleep with her but he told her he was big enough to sleep alone.

Madara was pretty mature for a four year old. Though he was a mere child, he already thought and acted like a child far older than his age.

He closed his eye and before he knew it, he was in deep slumber. He didn't expect that nightmares would attack him that night . . .

Dream

It was dark and cold. Madara looked around and saw that a few people and a couple of ANBU members had gathered around in the park.

His curiosity rose; the ANBU were called only for special and extremely important cases. What had happened that caused the ANBU to be involved?

No one seemed to notice him; as if he were a ghost. Madara wasn't scared. He just kept moving towards the crime scene. He noticed some familiar faces; the former presidents of the five great companies. He could see his grandfather, Fugaku, shaking his head sadly and the Elder Hyuuga brothers look at the ground in sorrow.

A man with long spiky black hair, an ANBU squad captain, pulled off his mask and the sight made Madara gasp; it was the person he was named after.

He had only seen the real Uchiha Madara in the pictures his mother had shown him but here, even if it was just a dream, Madara literally emitted a powerful aura. He looked at one of the ANBU officers, "What is the time of death?"

"Around noon sir," said the squad member. "The cuts marks on her body indicate she had been stabbed numerous times so it probably an attack by a gang. The people around heard a child scream and came rushing to see what it was. They found the body but saw no child."

The people around started to weep and the rain started to fall from the sky.

That's when he saw the ANBU carrying a body of a woman. The woman was beautiful with flawless skin and flame red hair but her body was drenched in her own blood. Madara's eyes widened in horror, not because of her gruesome murder.

Because he saw the eyes of the deceased woman; the same emerald green eyes his mother possessed.

When he was two, he tried to climb the tree in their yard and ended up falling on his back. He wasn't injured but it had knocked the air out of his lungs and the feeling was horrible. That was how he felt looking into the woman's eyes.

Before he could stop himself, Madara let out a scream.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sakura let out a huge sigh, "I'm exhausted."

Sasuke kissed her cheek, "Let's go to bed."

Sakura nodded and followed her husband into their room. She stripped her clothes and put on one of Sasuke's t-shirts; it was a very hot night. Sasuke, who simply wore pajama pants and no shirt, climbed into bed with his wife and wrapped his arms around her waist.

He nuzzled her neck, making her giggle. Sakura leaned towards her husband's embrace, "Good night."

"Hn." Sasuke murmured lazily. Sakura closed her eyes; her work was done and finally she could have some nice and peaceful sleep . . .

"I will take your son's life with my own two hands."

Sakura's eyes snapped open. She didn't make any sudden movements because she didn't want to disturb her husband. That voice was haunting her again. Sakura tried to sleep but those words echoed over and over again.

"You're having nightmares again." Sasuke said softly.

Sakura turned her head to see Sasuke's onyx eyes staring at her with concern. Sakura smiled and kissed his cheek, "I'm fine."

"You're not." Sasuke said as he shook his head.

Sakura sighed; she couldn't hide anything from her husband, "It's that voice again. It's haunting me so much. I can't help but worry about Madara. . ."

Sasuke kissed her and held her close, "Nothing will happen to him okay?"

Sakura looked into Sasuke's eyes and slowly, she gave a small smile, "Okay"

Sasuke leaned down towards her to kiss her but just before their lips met, they heard a scream from Madara's room which made them jump out of bed and rush out of their bedroom.

They opened the door of Madara's room and found their son with tears streaming down his face and clutching the sheets so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. A look of pure fear was on his young face.

Sakura rushed towards her son's side, "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Madara looked into his mother's eyes and were reminded of the red-haired woman's. He shrank away from her and pulled the covers closer to him.

Sakura didn't understand; why was her own son being afraid of her? She smiled kindly and reached out to pat his head, "It's okay sweetie; mommy's here. Come to mommy."

Madara shakily looked at Sakura and then he jumped into her arms, sobbing. Sakura shushed him and coaxed him into calming down.

Madara had calmed down a bit but he was breathing hard. Sasuke wrapped his arms around the two and placed his head on Sakura's shoulder, "What's the matter?"

Madara looked at his parents and spoke in a shaky, "I had a bad dream. I saw . . . m-murder."

Sakura's eyes widened, "What?"

"I'm scared," Madara said was fresh tears streamed down his face. "Uchiha Madara. The presidents! A murdered woman with red hair. She had your eyes mom!" Madara knew he was babbling nonsense but he couldn't help it.

"Woman with red hair?" Sasuke asked.

"S-stabbed multiple t-times," he stuttered. "G-g-gang attack. T-time of death. . .N-n-noon. Child sc-screaming." Madara could remember what the ANBU member had said about the woman.

Sakura was shocked by what her son had said and so was Sasuke. For their son's sake, Sasuke took the boy in his arms, "How about you sleep with us tonight?"

Madara nodded and snuggled into Sasuke's chest. Sasuke hummed a lullaby and soon, Madara was asleep. Sasuke looked at his pink haired wife, "Madara's dream. . . It sounded like-"

"Yes," Sakura whispered. She was still in the state of shock on Madara's bed. She slowly looked at Sasuke. "Madara just saw my mother's death in his dream."
