Sasuke sat in his lounge room. Two days ago he had been told by his brother why he was so interested in Sakura. What he couldn't get over was that Itachi had said she gave him a reason to live.
'to make him feel alive' thought Sasuke. 'I thought killing was the thing that made him feel alive, not Sakura. Then he tell me that Jade is also apart of the Uchiha clan. I got my answers, so why don't I feel satisfied about the answers.' Sasuke really couldn't think what it was. Something was missing. Then it hit him. 'there Itachi answers. Not Sakura. I need her answers to really understand her and my brother. I mean I got an answer from her, but not how they came to be'
Sasuke went to bed thinking on how to ask Sakura. He know that Itachi wouldn't let her out of his sights, knowing Sasuke wanted to talk to her.
"I guess I have to ask her with Itachi there. What fun that will be" Sasuke left for bed.
Sasuke decided to use the front door for a change. Knocking on the door Sasuke came face to face with Sakura. Not really wanting to talk to him Sakura slammed the door shut on him. Thought it didn't stop him from talking through the door.
"Sakura please, I would like to talk to you" begged Sasuke. He was hating this right now.
"why should I. Every time you wanted to talk you either hurt me or kidnapped me. So why should I listen or answer your questions." Snarled Sakura through the door.
"cause I be in there with you Sakura" spoke Itachi walking behind Sasuke.
"I thought you were inside" snapped Sasuke
"foolish little brother. Sakura open the door. No harm will come to you" spoke Itachi.
Behind the door they both heard a loud, annoyed sigh. Sakura knew she couldn't avoid Sasuke forever, so unlocking the door, both Uchiha walked into the house.
"where's Jade" asked Sasuke
"training with Naruto and his child. Now what would you like Sasuke?" spoke Sakura keeping her distance from both of the Uchiha. Not wanting to be near one and not liking the other right now.
"I need your reason Sakura. I have Itachi reason, but I still don't have yours" spoke Sasuke, being careful where he treaded with his statement.
Sakura thought about what Sasuke had stated. Though in truth she really didn't see why she owed Sasuke an explanation about her actions. After he left Sakura was in nothing but pain, No one was able to help her get better. The only way she became better was to train and sleep.
"Sakura" wondered Sasuke. Even Itachi was a bit surprised about her actions towards his brother. Thought in a way he could understand where she was coming from. Sasuke had hurt Sakura. Now she was wondering if he was worth her answer.
"Sakura please, I really need to know" spoke Sasuke never leaving her face
"why should I tell you Sasuke. Give me one good reason why I should tell you. And no blackmail is not an answer" snarled Sakura.
"Sakura please tell him. I have told him my reason and the truth, and now it is your turn" spoke Itachi looking at Sakura. Sakura looked at Itachi then to Sasuke.
"I really don't have a choice do I" asked Sakura, looking out the window.
"no you don't Sakura" spoke Itachi in a strict tone
"Sasuke after you left, everyone started to date each other. So I got stuck being alone. Thought I hated it at the start I didn't mind afterwards. I got stronger and Tsunade singed me up to the hospital for work. Anyway, after about three months of helping people I started to realize that I was protecting people and yet had no one to help protect me, if I was in fatal danger. Knowing this I trained even harder." Here Sakura took a breath thinking she was finished. Itachi on the other hand didn't think so.
"Sakura you haven't finished" spoke Itachi, now leaning on the wall. Sakura just looked at Itachi. She knew it wasn't over but really couldn't stand to tell Sasuke, but knew she would have to.
"one night I was walking home from a two day shift and longer at the hospital. About two meters I was kidnapped. Over the days I was carried dropped and used as a punching bag for the bastards. Finally I feel unconscious. I didn't have a clue how it happened but when I woke I was in Itachi's arms with the men that had kidnapped me all over the place." Sakura shivered at the memory.
Sasuke look at Itachi when hearing of this. "what else was there Sakura"
"Itachi told me of how he had been following the men for a couple of days. Thought at the time I couldn't really care who he was. All I knew was that he had saved me and I could return home. For some reason thought Itachi wouldn't let me go home by myself. He stayed by my side helping me regain the chakra I had lost and teaching me a couple of jutsu in the process. Over the time of being together, Itachi told me a lot of things I will not tell you. Then the night came when we were at the start of the village forest. I thank Itachi the only way I could. I held his eyes for life, gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then I left for home."
"and what else" asked Sasuke
"there's nothing else to tell Sasuke." Spoke Sakura looking out side to the street. "that's how things started between me and Itachi"
Sasuke looked at his brother asking for a simple and short explanation to the rest of the story not told. Itachi saw this and finished the story.
"after the goodbye from Sakura, I couldn't get her out of my head. No matter what I did, no matter who I killed and beat for the organization, she was always in my head. So I returned one night. Looking for her charka I found her. Thought she wasn't home yet. So I sat and waited for her to return. So I waited for her to return. I had the time as it was." Spoke Itachi
"scared the hell out of me when I came into my apartment that night" spoke Sakura
"I know" smirked Itachi
"so what next" spoke Sasuke
"we sat we talked and we go to know and grow found of each other. After a while I showed Sakura the world through my eyes. I shared with her things I thought I would never share with anyone, but Sakura listen and even learned from them" spoke Itachi.
"and that's the end of the story" snapped Sakura
"thank you for telling me. The both of you" spoke Sasuke looking at Itachi then to Sakura. Sakura on the other hand was still a little annoyed with the brothers.
"so what do we do now. Jade is having the sharingan coming through and I have another child inside on me. So what's the plan boys" asked Sakura
"I have just under 3 months leave. I start to make a plan for everyone. Including you little brother, if you would like."
Sasuke looked between his brother and now his sister in-law. "why the hell not. I have a family now, and I'll be damned if any of us lose what we have" spoke Sasuke.
"so that means no more trying to kill each other" asked Sakura
"hn" spoke Sasuke
"hn" was the answer from Itachi aswell.
'my favourite answer' thought Sakura. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. In a strange turn on events, they all had what they wanted. Itachi had a real reason to live, Sakura had a family to look after, and Sasuke got all the answers that he wanted. Now it was the plans to where they would go from now.
