Chapter IV: A Downer
RikusChika778: Chapter 4 has been put up you guys! *Does a happy dance with Sakura*
Sakura: Yes!
RikusChika778: I feel so proud once again.
Sakura: To bad the next thing you're not too proud of. * RikusChika778 face drops.*
RikusChika778: Fine.
Disclaimer: Never in a million years could I own Naruto.
Sakura sat in silence as Sasuke's face went blank. Sora, who thank god went to look at some stray cat. She refused to look at him, at Sasuke; they both looked so much alike. They acted so much alike, it was too confusing!
Sasuke stared in disbelief before finally speaking. "You're lying." He said venom dripping from the truth.
"I am not!" Sakura stood up becoming defensive. "I told you who he belonged to and now you call me that in front of my own child?" Her anger rose and so did her voice. Sora was listening now and Sakura calmed down softening her eyes. "You asked to know." She said in a low tone.
"I didn't ask I begged, Sakura." Sasuke said. His lips were turned up into a snarl; he looked down at her with cold eyes. Sora sat there watching and all Sasuke wanted to do was hurt her, by hurting that boy.
~~~~Sora's POV~~~~
Who was this guy yelling at my mother? Why was he taking his anger out on my mother? Whatever his problem was, he needed to step off fast or I will use my secret weapon. "Leave my mother alone!" I yelled. Now his attention was on me, better me than mom.
~~~~Normal POV~~~~
Sasuke looked at Sora with anger in his eyes. Whatever Sakura was trying to get him to see was blinded by fury. Sora looked reluctant to back down, but Sasuke didn't. Sakura stood up and was already in front of Sora keeping him away from his real father.
"Move Sakura." Sasuke's voice was warning her of the consequences and she stood timidly though not showing any sign of moving. "I sai—"
"Sakura, Sora?" Sasuke turned around to see Garra behind with a deadly look on his face, Sai was also there looking at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, what do you think you're doing?" Sai asked his tone serious. "Don't you have a job to report back to?"
"Don't you have a life to gain, before you won't have one at all?"Sasuke retorted. It would have been funny if Sakura wasn't so scared right now. "Go find someone else's business to poke in."His words dripped like venom.
"And you go find your obsessive fling that you had for five years and leave Sakura alone. Don't even think about going after Sora." The girls and the children finally came out with the black opps following being and stopped short at what they saw.
"Teme?" Naruto asked as Sasuke attempted to hide his face from Sakura's hurt look.
"Fling? Obsessive? What is he talking about?" Sakura asked Sasuke quietly were the group couldn't here.
"Nothing." Sasuke covered up before turning away from her. The girls looked worriedly at Sakura's face and looked to Sora's distraught one.
"Uh, Sak we were just leaving and going back to the mansion." Hinata said shyly as Naruto stared in disbelief at the child near her side. "It's getting late." The girls all nodded her head as the kids left to go see Garra and Sai. Sora followed along as Sasuke watched him. Sakura agreed and stood up from where she was and gave Sasuke a quiet bye.
Anko had gone to complete some duties and left Ryu with them. As the girls left the boys watched with hurt and hate across their faces.
"Who did Sakura say was the father?" Shikamaru asked looking at the back of Sasuke's head.
"Garra and what about you?"
"Unfortunately she said Sai."
Hinata Chan said Kiba was."
"Tenten said Lee was which I find difficult to belief. There hiding something from us and I wanna know what it is." Neji said.
"We can discuss this at the bar, Kakashi should be back today and we can talk to him about Anko and the girls." Sasuke offered heading off to the direction the bar was located. He wanted to strangle Garra, not Sakura he wanted to yell at her then take back what was rightfully his. Her. Garra would pay for what he did, if it was the last thing he did, hell all of the 'father' names given were going to pay.
~~~~The New Mansion~~~~
"I took the liberty to buy a mansion so your mother wouldn't stress over the kids." Garra offered pointing at the white house. "I would stay and help with your unpacking, but Lady Tsunade wants to have an audience with me. I'm sorry kids." The kids made a whining sound as their mothers ushered them into the new house.
"Its fine, Garra. You have hokage duties to attend." Sakura said sadly, though majority of that was still about Sasuke.
"I promise I'll be here tomorrow for Sora's training and if you don't mind a date after?" Sakura looked up seeing Garra's pink blush showing up and smiled.
"Of course I don't mind." Garra waved the girls and Sai bye and disappeared with a whirl of sand around him. Sakura directed Sora to the house and much to her surprise he said something she never thought. "Yes, mom's like Garra Sensei!" She smiled at him.
~~~~Konoah's Bar~~~~
The boys were quietly sitting at the bar with drinks in their hands and waiting for Team 7 always late Sensei to show up. A whirl a smoke appeared behind them and when it cleared off Kakashi was standing there with his Paradise book like always.
"What seems to be the problem boys?" As usual he was in his happy lazy mood with no knowledge of what happened today.
"Did you see Anko today?" Sasuke asked looking directly at Kakashi. The older male looked shocked at the mention of his ex lover. Taking Kakashi quietness a sign to continue, Sasuke did. "We did. She looked pretty with her new child."
Kakashi's head snapped up from his book and he was on full alert. "What child?"
"Her son Ryu. All of them had kids Kakashi, each by someone else." Naruto stated sadly asking for another round. "Hinata Chan cheated on me with Kiba? How could she!" Now he looked like an angry drunk at the mere mention of her name.
"Well that's a downer." Kakashi sat next to Sasuke on the bar stool and ordered a drink. "Have you talked to them yet?"
"Who, those troublesome girls?" Shikamaru asked finishing his last round of beer. "We attempted, but Garra and Sai showed up ruining our chance."
When Sasuke heard Garra's name, the empty glass in his hand shattered. "Don't remind me about that." This had caught the attention of his friends. "If I see that bastard within ten feet near Sakura, I'll kill him." His voice was deadly.
"I'm not too excited either about Tenten and Lee, but I want to try an experiment." Neji offered the boys waited in anticipation. "A Chunin Exam drill. Where we can test the little brats and their abilities in battle." Neji was the only one sober which meant he thought better than they did.
"That sounds like a good idea."
~~~~Nighttime at the Mansion~~~~
"Aw mom, do I really have to go to bed now?" Sora asked as he was being carried upstairs after saying goodbye to his friends for the night.
"Yes, unless you want to be tired during training tomorrow." They had finished packing thanks to everyone pulling their weight and chose which wing each would own. Sakura owned the north wing with her room as the biggest. "Besides mommies tired, and god knows what would happen if I fell asleep and you were still awake." She opened the door to his room and placed him on the bed. The funny part was his room was blue (just like Sasuke's favorite color) and the Uchia insignia was above Sora's headboard. He constantly asked questions on who this was, but she never replied, always changing the subject.
"Mom, that guy who was being mean to you earlier, what was his problem?" Sora asked getting under the covers.
"Don't worry about that sweetie. Mommy's had to settle some old business." She tucked him under the cover and kissed him on the forehead. "He's not a threat. Goodnight sweetheart." The boy was fast asleep when she closed hi door. Outside she, Sasuke was still going through her mind. At least he isn't a threat with me around.
RikusChika778: finished! Once again, I am trying to update as fast as I can you guys, but high school a pain.
Sakura: I'm not in it!
RikusChika778: Screw you! All you had to do was perform some jutsu and you get to pass.
Sakura: It wasn't easy!
RikusChika778: Ignoring. Review's you guys oh any questions about this chapter feel free to ask. See ya!
