Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

This can't be happening. It just can't. Maybe I'm hallucinating after almost choking to death on my chocolate bar.

I close my eyes and open them again.

Dam Sasuke is still there. His mouth is working as though he were desperately trying to conjure up something to say. I'm hoping anxiously that he can't think of anything to say and just goes on his way. Of course this is too much to ask.

'Pregnant?' He says again as if he were still trying to convince himself he heard correctly.

The thought of denying it all came to mind but it's quickly squashed by reason. He heard alright he's just having a hard time accepting it. I look at him helplessly not wanting to repeat myself it's all too difficult to spit out 'I'm pregnant' again.

Suddenly Sasuke's eyes fall to Kakashi and turn hard. Crap I forgot the father was standing right next to me. The father who's my sensei. The father who's 14 years older. The father who dumped me only a week ago.

'No Sakura. Don't tell me. Not him.' Sasuke's voice is trembling with a mixture of anger and betrayal.

I can't speak. I can't even move. All I can manage is to throw a distressed look at Kakashi then Sasuke as I lag against my door lamely. Sasuke is staring at me hard scrutinizing me.

'Tell me! Say it's not true!' He's shaking from head to toe with anger. I look to Kakashi again. He's stood up straight watching Sasuke cautiously.

'Say it!' He barks at me venom laced in his words.

'I can't' I whimper.

Fresh tears are falling and sobs make my body shake uncontrollably. I can feel Kakashi move a little closer to me about to place a hand on my shoulder.

'Don't touch her!' Sasuke snarls causing Kakashi to pause his actions and withdraw his hand.

Neither me nor Kakashi move or make a noise. There's nothing to say. We got careless. We got caught. Now all we can do is see what Sasuke will do. I don't need to wait, I already know.

'This wasn't supposed to happen.' He states simply, almost calmly as he turns on his heel and storms towards the middle of town. I stare after him still sobbing as I slide down the door to collapse on the floor.

'Sakura.' I hear Kakashi murmur.

I can feel his hands either side of my face forcing him to look at me. I bet I look a mess my hair is falling messily over my eyes and now sticking to my face, how attractive.

'Sakura listen maybe we should go inside and talk about this.' He says whilst shifting his hands to my arms to try and hoist me up. I respond weakly letting him lift me and guide me into the house. He kicks the door shut with his foot and steers me to the sofa.

I feel like a puppet only being able to move where he wants me to. I stare at the floor blankly as Kakashi sits beside me. Silence prevails for a while until almost unwillingly I hear my own voice squeak out.

'He's going to tell Tsunade.' Even though my mind is racing with all the consequences of Tsunade finding out, it's all I can think to say

'I know.' He replies gently putting his arm around my shoulder and pulling me into his chest. It feels so nice to be close to him again. It almost lets me forget I'm pregnant, that Sasuke will tell Tsunade, and that Kakashi left me.

Oh yeah I forgot about him giving me the heave ho. Now what, is he going to leave me to go through this alone? I need to know.

'Kakashi…what now? I mean with me being you know…will you…' I splutter finding it extremely difficult to string my words together.

'Don't worry I'm not going anywhere. Remember I'm not that easy to get rid of.' He reassures. I smile at the memory that sentence brings. He said that exact same sentence the first time we slept together and I was having a dithering fit worried he'd leave me.

'I thought you said we couldn't be together.' I mumble burying my head further into his chest. He runs his fingers through my mussed up pink locks affectionately.

'You should know by now that sometimes I talk utter crap.' I laugh weakly into his chest.

'Jiraiya knows. He told me to end it with you.' Oh so that's why he dumped me. Thanks Jiraiya. Since when does Kakashi follow Jiraiya's advice with women?

'Or he'd tell Tsunade.' Oh that's why then. Oh goody that means someone else who can blab to Tsunade that were together. I realize with mild horror that out of the three people who know, Ino is the only one who has amazingly kept her mouth shut. Dam that means Kakashi was right. I just hope he doesn't notice and start rubbing it in my face anytime soon. A few minuets pass before Kakashi tense slightly then bend down to my ear to whisper.

'You know I was right about...'

'Shut up!' He chuckles lightly before kissing my forehead. I relax against his chest again quite happy to just fall asleep to escape everything.

'When did you find out?' At first I wondered if I imagined the voice in my half asleep doze, until Kakashi jabs me in the ribs and I realize it was him. I sit up looking at him quizzically for a moment processing his question. Oh the baby right.

'3 days ago.' I sigh looking into his tired eyes. I feel slightly unnerved suddenly. I mean Kakashi hasn't given any hint at what he feels about me being pregnant. The urge to apologize hits me.

'I'm sorry.' As soon as the rushed apology leaves my mouth I feel stupid. After all it is his fault as well… He gives me a perplexed look before smiling softly.

'Don't apologize. I'm as much too blame.' He kisses me gently before nuzzling my neck affectionately.

'Things will work out. You'll see' I don't really know whether he was saying this to me or to himself.

Either way it was comforting, even if it is a big fat lie. My eyes feel heavy as I breathe in his scent and settle on his chest again. Everything's far too warm and comfortable and I find myself drifting.

-----------------------------------------------

I hate the Hokage's tower is all so blurgh. I wonder why Tsunade has summoned me anyway. Must be a mission that only I, the beautiful and powerful Ino can complete.

Yeah right.

As I reach to open the door to Tsunades office it flies open and a severely tweaked Sasuke storms past. I freeze.

Something is wrong and I have a niggling feeling I know what it is. I stumble into the office and stand before Tsunade praying she just wants me to help her with her gambling.

She lifts her eyes and sets them on me powerfully. As long as I stay calm and play dumb I'll be fine. After all I have had years of practice with my parents. All those times saying 'what boy daddy?' and 'of course not daddy I don't drink' will finally pay off.

'Ino I'm going to ask you some questions and I want you to answer honestly.'

Answer honestly? Obviously she doesn't know who she's dealing with.

'Sure' I say whilst nodding firmly. She sighs rubbing her temples as if in anticipation of a headache.

'I've heard something quite distressing from Sasuke. Something regarding Sakura.' She says levelly still staring at me.

Yessh what's with the death stare? I raise and eye brow and tip my head to the side before replying.

'Really?'

'Yes. Ino have you noticed anything different about Sakura's behavior?'

Anything different in her behaviour? Half the people I know would think i would be making it up if i told them the truth.

I keep the same vacant expression on my face as I stare back at her.

'What do you mean by different?'

I note with amusement her left eye twitches just slightly.

'I mean have you seen much of her? Or has she been training more often?'

Oh crap. I know Sakura has been using staying at my house a lot so that would mean I have been seeing a lot of her….but then again the amount of times she's been seen with Kakashi and put it down to training is a well used excuse as well.

'Well she has been training a lot but she's been staying at mine as well. You know she doesn't like staying home alone when her parents are on missions.'

Great work Ino I managed to dance around that question. It's then that I know I've made a fatal error. Tsunade looks infuriated but at the same time happy that I've done something to slip up. If only I could figure out what that something is.

'Now Ino I said honestly.' She hisses.

'I did answer honestly, honest!' I reply trying to maintain my act and almost thourghly confusing myself in the process.

'Cut the dumb blonde act I know Sakura hasn't been at your house I asked you father.'

CrapCrapCrap. Oh thanks daddy. Smooth.

'Where has she been Ino? Has she been with Kakashi?'

That sentence seemed far too difficult for Tsunade to say which leaves my answer impossible. I mean lets face it she already knows she just wants confirmation. But saying yes would be a betrayal of Sakura's trust. But saying no would be useless. Oh dear lord since when did I start caring so much what happens to billboard brow?

'I can't answer that.' I say a little too miserably for my liking. Tsunade sighs deeply letting her head drop in her hands.

'I hoped he was just making it up. That Sasuke was just mad about the amount of time Kakashi was spending training her.' Tsunade mumbles into her hands.

Abruptly her head snaps up and she focuses at me.

'Ino I want you to tell Sakura and Kakashi to come here immediately.' She said it with such authority and commandment that it demanded me to spit out a yes Hokage and march out the door. Jeez why didn't I just salute while I was at it?

Great what do I say to forehead? Oh I knew this would all end up crappy. And I mean really crappy.

Thanks for all the lovely reviews they keep me going. Ok that chapter was a pain in the ass... So Tsunade knows what's going to happen now? Wanna know? Then REVIEW! Please and thank you!
