Recap:They just couldn't stay away from each other. Magnets, sigh.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING?" Yes, that sounded familiar, like Toji, but it was someone else. Oh Shit!
Hidden crushes and secrets
The couple broke apart quickly, their bodies still close to each other, their hands still linked. This was not suppose to happen, and yet they're hearing the same phrase as Toji from the lake. But this time, it wasn't him. Shit! They were in deep shit. Sakura didn't look too worried, she looked surprised yeah, she had a smile on her face nevertheless.
"Sakura? So it's true then." Ino saw the puzzled look on Sasuke's face. "W-what I'm seeing right now, I mean." She was so close to tears. But wouldn't be that childish.
Sakura walked towards her, "Indeed. It's true indeed Ino."
Now Sasuke was puzzled, "What is she talking about Sakura?" Sasuke unconsciously encircled her petite waist searching for her eyes.
Ino looked down, there it was right in front of her, it wasn't a one time thing like she thought it was, like she wanted it to be, like she hoped it to be. They looked madly in love out there, they were all over each other, they were kissing with such a passion she's never witnessed nor done before. It almost hurt to see it, the tightening grip on her heart, it wasn't suppose to happen, Ino wanted to forget about Sasuke and let her friend have him like she'd already done, but something wouldn't let her, it was annoying, it wouldn't let go. Was it the rivalry again? Was it Sasuke? It couldn't be, right. Sakura is her frien, her best friend actually, and it would be wrong for her to think about Sasuke that way.
But that feeling that couldn't let Sasuke go told her that Sakura should let go instead, she should've known that she also liked Sasuke and should've backed off.
But Sakura can't, she loved Sasuke, she truly did and he appeared to be loving her too.
Sakura couldn't just let go, she's pregnant dammit, how would this look like now, besides they've already claimed each other, as their way of staying together forever, if Ino interfered, it would all look like a total mess. That voice was forgetting something, something important, Sasuke doesn't love nor like Ino at all, so it would be a waste to tear them apart. Sakura didn't deserve that, she honestly doesn't need to be in a total heartache right now. Ino just had to let it go, find someone else that had been there for her. The only one is Sakura, she'd always been there, she's always been the beautiful best friend, the sparring partner, the medical nin tutor, she liked her best friend. What was that feeling though, that feeling she had when she saw Sakura, the jealousy meter was pointing directly towards Sasuke, it was all wrong to be feeling this way. All too wrong.
"Can you give us a minute, Sasuke? Please?" Now that shocked Ino also, seeing Sasuke so understanding and without complaining to Sakura was merely impossible.
What's wrong with the world? Ino thought vaguely.
Sakura grabbed Ino by the arm and noted her giant purse that contained the potato chips, now she felt like eating potato chips. She must've forgotten it at Ino's earlier.
"Ino, he doesn't know yet." Sakura hissed when they were far away from the confused Sasuke. "Can you please act like you just saw nothing, otherwise he would be using his…cough…sharingan…cough." Ino's eyes widened at this then her eyes turned soft at the sight of her best friend, her bright viridian eyes that captured her gaze, her smooth curvy figure that boys would want to roam. Well, one did. Ino didn't know where this new feeling was coming from, but she knew it couldn't be good.
She forced a small smile, "I'm glad he wasn't just using you for his own pleasure." She whispered, handing Sakura her purse, which was heavier than before.
"Ino, what's in there?" She whispered eying the bag suspeciously.
"Open it forhead." Ino pointed at Sakura's giant purse, her baby blue eyes showing a glimpse of happiness. When she saw the sweet smile that graced the pink-haired teen's lips, she felt a jolt of love and attraction. As soon as she picked up the feeling, she pushed it aside forcefully and ignored it. Ino was right, it was all too wrong to be feeling this way. It was all too wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
Sakura turned around and met the gaze of a bored Sasuke, at the sight of her, his deep emotionless obsidian eyes softened at her. She loved him so much and he knew it.
She smiled at him, and Sasuke just gave her a simple nod accompanied with a small smirk to show his understanding.
Sakura cocked her head to Ino's direction setting it back to eye level with the blonde.
She quickly shoved a handful of spicy potato chips and pretzels in her mouth and swallowed the frozen bottle of spring water Ino brought her.
"Thanks Ino. That was, nice and refreshing." Ino smiled at that, how her nicely smoothed cheekbones rose up with the thin curving of her pink thin lips, her short pastel rose hair swaying along with the faint wind, how the pink strands behind the purple and silver leaf headband rose with the wind and blocks her apple green eyes. This feeling was unbearable, it almost crushed Ino. She's your best friend, what the hell are you thinking?
"Ino, earth to Ino…Ino?" Sakura searched for her baby blue yes but found an unreadable expression, one that she forced herself to ignore. She hoped Ino wasn't thinking about what she thought right now. The last thing she wants is a fatherless child. Not just any child. An Uchiha.
"Oh, sorry forehead, I just got hypnotized by those frail cherry blossoms." Ino half-lied.
She was hypnotized by her beauty and she was driven away by the cherry blossoms in her hair. It was getting irritating to be feeling this way, but she couldn't help it, everything came out involuntarily.
"Yeah, they are frail aren't they?" Sakura whispered almost to herself than to Ino.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later, forehead. Remember our chat." Ino tried to force a sly smile leaving a blushing Sakura behind.
Out of sight, Ino couldn't ignore the pain in her chest anymore, at the second her baby blue eyes fell upon the kissing sight of Sakura and Sasuke, the lump in her throat forced its own way out bringing choked sobs and dry eyes. The tears just wouldn't do her that favor. They wouldn't leak out when needed, but she could no longer bring herself to think about that anymore, focus on your best friend's well being of becoming a mother.
With a single glance back at the couple in the training grounds, Ino left nevertheless along with the heavy heart that would soon sink itself in her stomach.
"Sakura…um…Sak-" Sasuke reluctantly grasped the kunoichi's shoulders in a small attempt to make her listen. With her lips slightly bruised from the hard kiss, nipping and sucking, Sakura pouted from the lost of her boyfriend's warm lips.
It was strange, how the teen could forget about every problem at the sight of him, she just forgot everything that happened good or bad. Even her news…
"Sakura, You wanted to tell me something?" Sasuke's deep onyx pools of obsidian searched for hers, demanding to read her like he normally does. But lately he found that oddly difficult. "Come on Sakura," He was impatient after all.
Sakura took his larger hands with her delicate ones, rubbing them pleasantly, she almost gave him a weak smile and that made him anxious. Uchiha? Anxious? Yeah…
"Wait, cut the tender crap Sakura. Are you- um…" He didn't want to jinx things up, the fact that she held her gaze down made him feel that same tightness in his chest, that organ, that similar valuable organ that holds something precious to him… Her, not only his life, but her also.
Then her eyes widened at his words, he knows? He couldn't, could he?
she wanted to tell him herself, not the other way around.
"Tell me… are you Sakura? huh?" At the desperation in his voice and the anxiety in his onyx eyes, Sakura burst into tears.
I didn't make sense to Sasuke, last night she was perfectly fine aside from the short bathroom breaks and the slight dizziness she claimed to have. And this morning, that warm smile, the kisses and affectionate touches. It didn't make sense to him.
"C-Can we talk tonight? I told you already, please Sasuke-kun. Please?" She stoke his cheeks as he also fought the heat creeping to his face.
He sighed almost too heavily and pecked her lips as a sign of affirmation.
A blush still crept up her cheeks even after being together for a long time, and it caused Sasuke to smirk. Why did she love him? He never saw himself as 'hot', he was kinda modest about that, after that his skills and pride hn, he wasn't near modest about those. And Sakura loved him why? He wasn't the 'nice nice guy' He wasn't mean or rude towards her either, but the black-blue haired teen didn't care anymore, as long as she was with him and he was with her. No matter what happens, he'll be with her, he'll stay.
"Sakura, No matter what happens, I'll still be with you." He said to her, face showing a little tiny bit of emotion. Sakura was in tears now, it all brought her back to the day this all started and to now, that she is pregnant. Sasuke ran the back of his hand over her cheeks, capturing her tear with his index finger.
She wanteds to tell him now, now that he's all sweet and stoic, now that she knows for sure that she broke his rigid shell. The news wouldn't be so bad right? He's Sasuke he wouldn't go so low as to leave her because of that. Besides, the Uchiha clan needs to be reincarnated and even if it's too soon for them, they'll find a way to survive with the baby. Miraculously they would, Sakura already checked out shelter and food out that list she'd been making since she thought she might be pregnant. Now, to tell Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun? I… We…"
"TEME!" A high-pitched voice called behind them.
"SAKURA-CHAN!?" Naruto stopped dead in tracks as his wide cerulean eyes fell upon their close proximity and their linked fingers.
Another Oh Shit!
