"Good morning class. Ah Ms. Haruno nice of you to show up for class this morning, as goes for you too Mr. Uzumaki"
"phewwww. That was close" Emiko whispered over to Haruto
"Tell me about it"
"I guess I'm not grounded after all haha"
"MS. HARUNO NO TALKING IN MY CLASS! DETENTION, AFTER SCHOOL!"
"awwwwwww maaaaaan"

Chapter #4- a rumor
After class Emiko and Haruto were told to see Mr. Iruka for their detention slips.
"Mr. Iruka please don't give me detention. Please ."
"If I do that I would have to do that to the whole class. And I cannot do that."
"Mr. Iruka please, I know I have been getting in a lot of trouble lately, but my mom has enough troubles to deal with, and she doesn't need me adding problems to her pile."
Mr. Iruka was intrigued at this statement
"What do you mean your mom has troubles to deal with? What troubles?" he asked
"Love " Emiko was trying to tell him about her father without actually telling him that he came back.
"But, the only person your mother has ever truly loved was your fath- ..no"
He looked at Emiko with a shocked expression
"Your father, He's back? How, when?"
"I will let you ask those questions to him yourself. I already got my answers."
Iruka sighed a deep breath and then looked at the two of them
"I suppose I can let you two go this time. But DON'T let it happen again please."
"Sure thing teach" Haruto answered gratefully
And with that they both left the classroom and set off towards home.
I can't believe he actually came back. I knew he wouldn't be able to stay away, the fact that Emiko was born without his awareness must have drawn him here somehow.
Iruka watched as the two teenagers walked out of the school hand in hand towards the Haruno's home.
Man, it seems like only yesterday that theirs parents were that young. Hmmmmmm I better grade those papers or they'll never get done.
AT THE HARUNO'S HOUSE
Emiko opened the door slowly making sure nobody was there. She walked in and locked it behind her and grabbed a blue Gatorade from the fridge.
She tip toed up the stairs, but right as she got to the third stair
"aaaand what do you think you're doing?" came a monotone voice
Emiko winced
She was used to her mom yelling at her, but obviously she sent another.
"Eh. Nuthin he he"
Sasuke was leaning against the living room door frame
And as she said this he gently pushed himself off
"Hmm Nuthin huh. You're an hour and a late coming home from school. Your mom said that when you come home late that means that you got detention . Did you?"
Emiko hesitated for a moment, she didn't know why, she didn't get detention.
"No. I was trying to convince Mr. Iruka not to give me detention."
Sasuke looked at her in the eyes; he knew she was telling the truth, she was ...an Uchiha after all.
"hmmmm. Fine, just make sure you do your homework before your mom comes home so I don't get in trouble."
"Okay"
Emiko said and ran upstairs excitedly
If I finish my homework maybe I can go out with Haruto. MAYBE, if dad will let me.
Emiko finished her homework and went to ask her if she could go out with Haruto, he said yes and she left.
Greeeeat now what am I supposed to do. I'm all alone in an empty house. I can't go outside because the only people who know imp here are Sakura, Emiko, Naruto and Haruto MAN! This is what I get for coming back here.
Sasuke was in his own little world thinking to himself when just then the door opened and Sakura walked in
"Hey Sasuke, is Emiko home yet?"
"Sakura? Why are you home so early?... never mind, yea she home about an hour ago, I told her she could go out with Haruto. Is that okay?"
Sakura smiled
"hehe sure, its fine. Did she finish her homework first?"
"Yea." Sasuke said nonchalantly
"Wow you're a natural at this aren't you" Sakura said
"So I've been told" Sasuke said sarcastically
"hehe, anyways I got off work early and I thought maybe we could hang out tonight."
"Sure, I was just contemplating what I was going to do in my head anyways."
"Really? What do you have so far?"
"Honestly nothing" Sasuke said as he looked at her
Sakura was shocked, so he was just going to sit alone in an empty house and do nothing until she got home. It's a good thing I came home early then
"So .what do you want to do?"
Sakura looked at him and smirked
Sasuke's eyebrow cocked, he knew her drift. He knew all too well.
In fact this was how Emiko was created.
Sakura asked him what he wanted to do they started making out it got heated and bam! It just happened.
But Sasuke does love Sakura, no doubt about that, and Emiko.
He wouldn't have done what he did if he didn't.
Sasuke followed Sakura into her room and pushed her gently onto the bed. He grabbed onto her wrist and pulled them above her head as they passionately played with each other's tongues.
Sasuke nibbled on Sakura ear as she cuddled up next to him.
"I love you Sasuke." Sakura whispered so only they could hear
"I love you too" said Sasuke
He looked down at his cherry blossom who quietly and peacefully sleeping, he smiled and then fell asleep himself.
It was 11 o'clock when Emiko came home from her date with Haruto. She quietly walked through the door.
"Yes, I'm actually on time."
Emiko walked to her parents and quietly opened the door. She saw her parents quietly sleeping Sakura tucked under Sasuke's arms protectively.
She closed the door
"Man! And my stupid parents aren't even awake to see me to prove it!" she whispered in an annoyed tone.
"errrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm bored, and so not tired. What am I supposed to do?" Emiko complained, jumping on her bed.
"maaaaan."
YOU'RE MY LOVER UNDER COVER YOU'RE MY SACRED PASSION AND I HAVE NO OTHER.
Emiko's phone started ringing on her desk. Her ringer started up again as she looked at the caller ID
Person calling: HARUTO
YOUR'RE MY LOVER UNDER COVER YOU'RE MY SACRED PASSION AND I HAVE NO OTHER.
"Hey Haruto"
"Why does it take you so long to answer your damn phone.."
"Sorry I like this song and I like to wait so I can listen to it. What's up?"
"I was bored so I thought I would call you." Haruto answered
"Thank god, I was so bored myself."
Just as Haruto and Emiko started into their midnight conversation, Sasuke woke up because he thought he had heard somebody yell but he couldn't tell who it was or what they said.
Sasuke got out of bed carefully making sure not to wake up Sakura who was peacefully sleeping beside him.
He walked over to Emiko's room and where he could hear the faint sounds of voices.
He opened the door and Emiko turned her head.
"Oh, it's just you dad. You kinda gave me a heart attack there."
"Sorry, why aren't you in bed." Sasuke asked trying to collapse
"I'm not tired, and I'm bored so I'm talking to Haruto."
"Didn't you just get home from on a date with him?"
"Yeah but he is my boyfriend."
"Whatever just go to bed sometime between now and 2:30 ok"
"Alright"
Sasuke walked back to Sakura's room (remember he isn't fully in the family yet) and climbed into bed. Sakura who noticed the empty space while he was gone cuddled back up with him and they both returned to dreamland.
"Haruto, how can you say something like that? My dad wouldn't do that. Not this time."
"But how do know Emiko. All I'm saying is don't get so friendly with him, he might just turn his back on you again."
"Haruto you know I'm just gonna hang up right now before I say something I regret. Ok, bye"
"I'll see you- click"
Emiko shut the phone off before he could get his last words in; she climbed into bed and started thinking about what Haruto said.
And the more she thought about it, the more she started agreeing with him. But she didn't want to! She wanted to believe her dad was staying, that he was going to be there for her now and forever. Always.
But how can she trust him if she can't even trust her thoughts?
