Sakura woke up alone and blinked. "'Tachi? Dei?" She called lightly. Sakura wrapped a sheet around her naked body and moved silently on bare feet into the living room. "Itachi? Deidara?" She called again worriedly. Sakura opened the front door and poked her mussed pink head out. She saw them leaned up against a cherry blossom tree. "Good morning Sakura-chan." Deidara said once the sheet-clad kunoichi got to them. "I was worried when you didn't answer. I thought something had happened." Sakura said softly. "Sorry koi." Itachi said. "We wanted to watch the sunrise but we didn't want to bother you." Deidara explained.
Sakura settled down between the two and they watched the sky lighten together. "You're just in time." Deidara said softly. Sakura smiled and leaned her head on Itachi's shoulder as she took both of their hands in her own and the three S-class shinobi watched the sun come up. Sakura blinked as she saw a figure approaching. Her body tensed just in case she had to fight naked. "Relax hime. It's just a civilian from the nearby village." Deidara soothed as he ran his hand down her right arm while Itachi stroked her hair. The pinkette relaxed and Deidara got up to deal with the visitor. Sakura melted into Itachi's side and watched lazily. "Deidara-sama…..there's a group of shinobi demanding the Lady Sakura." Zari, the man that built their home, said worriedly as he watched the pinkette snuggle Itachi and make purring noises at him as he kissed her bare flesh.
Deidara smiled at the sight before his eyes hardened. "What do they look like?" He asked. "One looks like Itachi-sama. One's a red haired woman, one's a blue haired man, and one's a big, reddish-brown haired man." Zari replied. Deidara nodded and smiled tightly. "Thank you for telling me Zari-san. Please return to the village and warn all civilians to stay inside unless absolutely necessary. We don't want any of our people to get caught in the crossfire." He instructed. "Hai Deidara-sama. I hope you, Itachi-sama, and Sakura-hime are successful." Zari replied. The dark red haired man left like told and headed back to the town. Sakura got up and headed to Deidara's side worriedly. "Dei-chan?" She asked.
Deidara growled low in his chest. "Sasuke is more of a fool than I thought. He's heading this way to try and forcefully remove Sakura from our sides once again." He snapped at Itachi. Sakura looked terrified for a moment before rage clouded her pretty emeralds. "I'm going to go get dressed." She said. The pinkette returned a few minutes later dressed in her Anbu gear. The tight black material sparked a rush of lust in her lovers and they very nearly threw her down and once again had fill of her eager body in front of Sasuke and the gods.
The younger raven haired Uchiha's Sharingan whirled furiously and Sakura smiled slightly as she ran her tongue up Deidara's jaw before kissing him. "Sasuke. You just don't know when to leave things well enough alone do you?" She asked lightly with some underlying fury in her voice. Sasuke glared at her. "Get away from them Sakura. You belong to me." He snapped. Sakura pressed her body against the blond's and Itachi's own Sharingan whirled to life. "I belong to Itachi and Deidara. Not to you Sasuke. You left me. Abandoned me without a backward glance. And now I've gotten over it and you and moved on to where I am meant to be. You can't handle the fact that I don't love you anymore." She said.
Deidara reached into his pouch and started molding clay while Sakura pulled her gloves on and Itachi's Sharingan sprang to third level Mangekyou. "Sasuke-kun she clearly doesn't want to leave with us. Shouldn't we respect her wishes and just go?" The red head asked timidly. Sasuke glared at the red head. "Shut up Karin. If you didn't want to come with us, you should have stayed in Konoha." He snarled. Sakura flinched at the way Sasuke talked to the girl and her eyes narrowed. Slowly she did the hand signs for her jutsu behind Deidara's back. Suddenly the cherry blossom tree erupted behind them and all the petals started dancing around the clearing. Sasuke's Sharingan couldn't even break the genjutsu since Sakura had been practicing it.
Sakura disappeared into the petals and Sasuke tried frantically to find her. "Sakura Doku senbon no jutsu." A soft voice called. Sasuke flinched when several poisoned senbon needles embedded themselves in his flesh. The petals died down and Sakura was standing with Itachi and Deidara again. "Karin-san you're a medic yes?" Sakura asked calmly. Karin nodded. "We could use another medic in the village. Will you abandon Sasuke and work for us? You would earn a good pay and have a stable environment." Sakura asked. Karin looked unsure for a moment and Sakura smiled. "No one would hurt you here. The villagers are kind civilians. I'll train you personally if it would make you feel better." She offered. Karin nodded and left Sasuke's side. "I'm tired of fighting. I want peace." She said softly, tearfully. Sakura nodded and smiled tenderly. "You'll have that here Karin-chan. You won't have to fight unless you want to. Itachi, Deidara, and I usually take care of any fighting that must be done. Our villagers are never caught in the crossfire and they never feel the effects of war." She said gently.
Karin nodded. "I want that too." She said. Sakura sent Karin into the house. "Wait there until we're finished. After we finish up here, I'll take you to the village and get you a place to live, and assess your skills so I'll know where I need to start training you." She said. Karin nodded obediently and headed into the house. Sasuke's Sharingan swirled violently but Sakura didn't flinch away from it. "This is your last chance to leave us alive. If you refuse to leave, we'll kill all of you." Sakura said coldly. Sasuke laughed. "You kill me? Don't make me laugh. You're too pathetic to do it. Just the other day, you killed yourself to get away from me." He sneered. Sakura smirked. "Only because the sight of you makes me so sick that I want to vomit. The very idea of you touching my body like my boys do is enough to make me want to scrub all my skin off. You disgust me Uchiha Sasuke because you're so weak and pathetic that you had to attack my boys from behind to successfully take me from their side." She replied coldly. Sasuke lunged for her, his face a mask of fury. "You fucking whore!" He snarled as his hands wrapped around her throat. Sakura's eyes widened momentarily before she reached up and broke both of his wrists by rotating her thumbs under his hands and shoving him away from her violently. "You don't have permission to touch me." She snarled as she healed the little damage Sasuke caused her. Juugo looked unsure of this battle as well. "Juugo-san I can purge your curse mark so you can live in peace." Sakura said softly. Juugo's dark eyes widened slightly. "You can take this madness from me?" He asked. Sakura nodded. "Yes. You will no longer have the insane urge to eat human flesh nor will you have the driving need to kill others. Will you come to me and let me help you?" She asked. Juugo walked to her and Sakura smiled gently. "Go wait inside with Karin-chan. I'll heal you when I finish with Sasuke." She said. Juugo obeyed and Sasuke's Sharingan brightened in rage. "What about me?" Suigetsu demanded. Sakura raised an eyebrow. "You wish to live a life of peace? That sword of yours would be useless if you embraced that life." She said softly. Suigetsu shrugged. "I can defend the village or something." He said. Sakura shrugged as well. "If you want to do so I won't stop you." She replied. The aqua haired water shinobi abandoned Sasuke as well and Sakura's smile turned sharp. "Your friends have abandoned you Sasuke. Without a backward glance. Just like you did to me all those years ago." She said cheerfully. The pinkette watched the younger Uchiha choke on his rage for a few minutes before turning her back to him and walking away. Enraged, Sasuke charged forward and ran her through the back with the Kusanagi. Sakura gasped wetly and dissolved into a ton of black ravens. "Genjutsu." Sasuke snarled furiously. Sakura's laughter mocked him and he attacked her blindly. Sakura had him on his back in seconds and her foot on his throat before he could blink. "This is your last chance to leave Sasuke. If you don't, Itachi or Deidara will kill you off and I'll go deal with your friends in my home." She said uncaringly. Sasuke spit at her and Sakura made a disgusted face. "Oh that's so gross." She moaned as she wiped Sasuke's saliva off with one delicate gloved hand. Sakura stomped on Sasuke's chest in retaliation, breaking several ribs. Sasuke cried out in pain and struggled against the pinkette's foot. "Go inside Sakura-chan. Itachi and I will deal with Sasuke." Deidara ordered softly. Sakura watched Sasuke struggle for a few more seconds before obediently going inside.
"Karin-chan I have some questions for you. I need you to answer them truthfully ok? No one is going to hurt you for your answers." Sakura said softly. Karin nodded and Sakura smiled. "Did Sasuke ever hurt you?" She asked. Karin looked down at the floor and blinked back tears. "Sasuke-kun used to get mad a lot. He was an angry person you know? At first Sasuke-kun would just be silent and glare at everything and everyone that moved. After we got to know each other better, Sasuke-kun would scream at us when he was mad but we just ignored him because he was an angry person. Everything made him angry. The grass being green, the sky, water, life in general. Then when he saw that screaming did nothing, he went back to being silent and glaring at everything. One day I accidentally got between him and his target and he went nuts. He broke three ribs, bruised 75% of my body and gave me a mild concussion. Not to mention the severe burns on my arms, face, neck, and chest. I had to return to one of Orochimaru's labs to heal from the damage. That just made him even angrier but he didn't beat me again because he needed me to track our target down again. Sasuke-kun never hurt Juugo-kun or Suigetsu-kun because they were men and they could fight back better than I could. They weren't afraid of Sasuke-kun and I was. I still am but I don't want to live in fear anymore. I'm not a coward by any means but I hate conflict. War, shinobi life, killing, things of that nature, I don't like it. I like peace but being with Sasuke-kun meant constant war." She replied.
Sakura snorted. "You're dead on about Sasuke's personality Karin. He enjoys conflict. He thrives on chaos. He can't bear to be at peace. Sasuke is the type of man that needs some sort of conflict to feel alive. If there's peace, he has to break that peace by causing trouble." She said. Karin nodded. "That was it exactly." She replied. "I want to do a full body chakra exam on you. I have a theory that Sasuke didn't just beat on you. The boys will have to go into the other room because their presence will only unnerve you." Sakura said. Karin nodded and Sakura smiled. "As soon as I finish with Karin-chan, I'll remove your curse mark Juugo." She said softly. Juugo nodded and dragged Suigetsu into the other room. "How long have you been hiding your pregnancy? And how did you become pregnant?" Sakura asked lowly. "I'm finishing my first trimester. Sasuke-kun had no idea. It was after Sasuke-kun faced Itachi-san at the Akatsuki base. He was furious because Deidara-san whisked Itachi-san away to save his life. This was obviously before you came to them. I had never seen Sasuke-kun so angry before. Even for an angry person, he was angry. I offered to track Itachi-san down for him and Sasuke-kun went very quiet. I backed away toward Juugo-kun and Suigetsu-kun because when I stayed close to them, Sasuke-kun didn't hurt me. But he grabbed my arm and smiled. He said he wanted me to track Itachi-san down and that Juugo-kun and Suigetsu-kun had to stay there so that he could move faster. At first, they protested but when he threatened them with the Sharingan, they agreed." Karin began shakily. Sakura took the red haired girl's hands and smiled encouragingly. "As your medic, I'm forbidden to tell anyone else this unless you give me permission. It's alright if you tell me the rest of the story Karin-chan. It'll stay between us." She said softly. "Sasuke-kun pulled me away in the direction Deidara-san's bird flew with Itachi-san and himself on the back of it. So that Juugo-kun and Suigetsu-kun didn't get suspicious but when we got far enough away that they couldn't hear me if I screamed or made noise, Sasuke-kun t-turned on m-me. H-he pushed me to the ground and….." Karin trailed off as she choked back a sob.
Sakura pulled the red haired girl to her chest and hugged her. "Shh. It's ok now. I know what happened from that last sentence. Shh. It's alright now. You're safe now. No one will ever hurt you again." She soothed softly. Karin cried into her shoulder. "I tried to resist! I really did but he was so strong and he held me down so easily. I struggled as hard as I could and I screamed but Sasuke-kun just slapped me until I fell silent. It hurt so much and there was so much blood when he….I begged and pleaded him to stop and to leave me alone but he just laughed. After he was done, he told me that if I ever told anyone else what he did to me, he'd make me wish he had killed me." She sobbed. "I want you to wait right here. I'll be right back. I promise." Sakura said softly. Karin nodded and Sakura glided out the door. "Have you killed him yet?" She demanded hotly when she got to her blond lover's side. "No un. Itachi's toying with him." Deidara replied. Sakura nodded and glided to Itachi who was letting Sasuke charge him before slapping him to the ground like an annoying pest.
Sakura grabbed Sasuke by the throat on his next charge and slammed him into a tree so hard that the wood protested. "You're lower than the lowest trash on this planet Sasuke." She snarled. "So that fucking whore told you did she?" Sasuke sneered. Sakura let loose a strangled growl of fury and dug her nails into the flesh of his throat. "You had no right to take that which wasn't given to you. She told you to stop, that she didn't want what you did to her and yet you continued and selfishly ignored her. You raped her you son of a bitch. I bet your poor dead mother wishes she were alive to beat you into your grave. Do you want to know why you couldn't beat Itachi?" She snarled. Sasuke snarled back and Sakura squeezed her hand threateningly. "I'll rip your head off if you try it Uchiha." She warned. "You can't beat Itachi because you're a spoiled, self-centered, egotistical, maniacal, psychotic, brat. A child that rages when he's denied something. You are incapable of loving anything but yourself and you use people until you can't use them anymore because of that. You use people and things until they have nothing left then you throw them away like trash. Only to repeat the cycle again and again. You don't know how to be anything else because you were too foolish to let anyone else show you a better, healthier way to do things. And now you're going to pay for your sins. Before you die, I wanted to tell you that Karin is pregnant with your child Sasuke. And you will never see this child born nor will you ever know what might have been if you had manned up and taken care of Karin instead of treating her like an insect that needed to see the bottom of a shoe. I want you to die knowing that I pitied you. That's all you're worth. Pity and shame." Sakura said before walking away and heading back into the house.
Sasuke's strangled howls of rage followed her and Karin clung to her again. "You and your two friends are welcome to stay here for tonight. We have plenty of spare rooms." Sakura said. "Thank you Sakura." Karin replied. Sakura smiled. "It's not a problem." She said. Sakura moved over to Juugo next. "Ready to live a free life?" She asked. "Yes. I'm more than ready." Juugo replied. Sakura's hands glowed with crimson chakra and she placed one on his curse mark and the other on his forehead. A large black orb of cursed energy surrounded by Sakura's crimson chakra was drawn from Juugo's body and Sakura smiled. "Your curse mark is very primitive. It's powerful but not very evolved." She said clinically as she continued to draw the cursed energy out of Juugo's body while simultaneously healing the damage done to his mind and body from having it for so long.
R&R please. Again, don't bother flaming because I will hunt you down and destroy you. ^_^ Have a nice day.
