Unexpected
Chapter 3
The man banged on the wooden door relentlessly, not giving a damn if he woke up the whole neighborhood. He had followed her chakra signature all the way from the hospital to Ino's, to here. She had probably warned Sakura of his raging rampage to her house.
A light turned on in the house and he could hear footsteps coming down the stairs. All he could think about is destroying something. He was enraged that no one told him about the child HE should have been taking care of. He had the right to raise his niece, his only surviving relative; she was his only connection to Itachi and here everyone was keeping her from him.
But his anger ran deeper then that. It went further then the obvious. He was infuriated with Sakura the most. She had once sworn her love to him and behind his back she had given it to his brother. The idea sickened him. His fist trembled yearning to lash out at someone, something, anything!
Ino had called her to let her know of the angry Uchiha that was making his way to her house. But she didn't expect him to be banging on her door like a maniac. She was going to kill him if he broke he door and if he even dared to wake up Reika-chan he would be tortured for the rest of his life.
The pinkette yanked open the door and meet eyes with the mad man. "What the hell is your problem!" She hissed trying to refrain from yelling. "It's one in the morning. Couldn't this wait till tomorrow?"
The raven haired man shoved past her, welcomed himself into the house despite the woman's protest. "Where is she?" He asked Sakura as she closed the door.
He was referring to Reika-chan and instantly she became defensive. "Get out now." She ordered, gabbing his arm to throw him out.
But he didn't allow things to go her way. He was not going to leave until he got what he wanted. He gripped her wrist and jerked her towards him. "Let me fucking see her." He didn't flinch when the woman brought a kunai to his neck. Nothing was going to stop him.
"She's sleeping and my daughter is none of your business." She spat trying to get free from his grasp. His grip was tight and got worse by the second. Infusing chakra into her hand she had freed herself from him and swung for his handsome face.
Sasuke easily dodged the attack and manipulated the small woman to where her arm was twisted behind her back forcing her to submit. "Your daughter is my damn business when she's my fucking niece!" Sasuke shouted loosing his cool. He yanked at her arm causing her to yelp from the pain.
She couldn't believe he had found out. Everyone in the village knew this was supposed to be a secret. Not even Ino opened her big mouth. "Who told you?" she hissed between clenched teeth.
"It doesn't matter who the fuck told me. You kept this information from me and dared to tell me it's none of my business."
"I didn't expect you to ever return you piece of shit! I didn't want my daughter to know her family is full of traitors, murders and heartless bastards like you!"
He swirled her around and snatched her face in his hand. "I'm warning you, watch what the hell you say to me Haruno. You don't know anything about me." He growled.
"And that's the reason I don't want you anywhere near my daughter. Now get out!."
Sasuke had had enough of this game she was playing. Before she would be begging for him to be in her life and never leave but now she was forcing him out. It wouldn't have mattered if it was just her but Reika-chan was now in the picture and leaving was not an option. Besides that he wanted information now. "Not till you tell me how all this shit happened."
"How what happened? I thought you knew how babies were created." She joked, a sly smile marking his perfect lips.
"You know what I mean, how is it you're the one Itachi had kid with?" Deep down he didn't want to hear it but he wanted to know why it was her out of all people. When have they ever crossed paths?
"We meet a few times when I was on solo missions. The last time we ran into each other things happened." Sakura said holding the Uchiha's gaze unfazed by his sharingan. They were Itachi's eyes anyways so there was no reason to fear them.
Things happened. The words were like daggers. Even though she didn't say them exactly they had registered 'We had sex!' In his head. Images of another mans hands on her, touching her, enjoying her doing all the things that nobody had the right to do. It was Sakura of all people she was supposed to be the only innocent one, tainted and touched by no one. He cursed himself for detesting his brother and reminded himself of how much his brother meant to him. There was no need to hear the details of their relationship. "Can I just see her?" Was all he asked.
His facial expression was no longer full of malice and hate towards her. Now it was marked with pain. She felt horrible for having him find out this way, for telling him so bluntly but he had pissed her off. She wanted things to be civil but when ever he came around nothing more the hate came out. Plus it wasn't like she was going to hide it forever. It was just until she had found the right way to break it to him. Already causing him enough torment she can at least allow him this one thing. Not only for Sasuke but for Itachi too. Itachi had the right for his eyes to see his own daughter.
Ex-traitors hand still held her chin but gently this time. Her green eyes had captured him and for a moment he could have sworn the chakra in his eyes had spiked. Sakura's hand had reached up and laced it's self with his. "Just don't wake her." She said softly leading him by the hand up the stairs. She carefully opened a door that had the Uchiha fan pained on it and 'Reika Uchiha' written underneath.
They both slipped inside the room quietly. Light from a small fish tank had allowed him to see the small girl curled up in blankets. His heart had stopped at the sight of her. The resemblance was undeniable. His eyes had begun to tear but he didn't allow a drop to fall. It wasn't him crying it was Itachi that missed all this. For a moment he had felt like this was his family, Sakura by his side watching their sweet child sleep. The feelings he felt and the way his eyes had looked upon this scene was all his brothers. He was stupid to have mistaken this for his own. He had realized it when Sakura had released his hand. Once her touch was gone so was the dream.
…
They had left the room and were back downstairs when he had decided to ask. "So she knows she's a Uchiha. I thought you didn't want her to know her family past."
"She only knows the good part. The part of their glory and strength is all I've told her. That her father was a prodigy and her Uncle was the top of his class. Stories about her grandma's cooking and caring nature and grandfather being head of the police." Of course Sakura wouldn't hide her childs amazing bloodline from her. Sakura wanted her daughter to know how special and great she was.
"Hn."
"What? Do you think I was wrong for keeping some stuff from her?" Being a mother she felt it was wrong for a young child to know of so much tragedy. Look what it had done to Sasuke.
"No. I wouldn't want her to know the bad either." The Uchiha said as he made his way towards the door. "But you know she's gonna find out one day." It was an unavoidable fact.
Sakura didn't reply all she gave was a sweet smile before closing the door behind him.
There were just something that had to be kept a secret. Lies that needed to become true. She would avoid the truth as long as she could. But there was a feeling that the shelter she had built for her and daughter would soon be destroyed. That was always the case when Sasuke Uchiha was involved.
There's more meaning to this chapter then there seems. The title of the chapter will have more meaning as the story goes on. Gosh I cant wait.
I dont know if its only me but I've been dying to see more Sakura and Sasuke action in the anime and manga! It seems to all be about Naruto and Sasuke. So not fair. But with the way Sasuke has become in the manga things are just never gonna work out. The end of Naruto Shippuden is soon coming to and end.
Sakura12: I have no Idea what AHSDKLAHSOI*#*EFJDSD means! lol
Suna No Ken: OMG how the heck does that all pop into your head! You had me rolling with your review.
