x Present time x

Sasuke and Naruto waited inside Sakura's hospital room for Jiraiya. He said he had some information for them concerning the jutsu that would wake Sakura up. Sasuke looked over to his former teammate. Her pink hair that had grown was strayed across her pillow as her head was slightly turned torward the window. He had left sound, just a few months ago to return to Konoha. The village where he left everyone close to him behind. A village of girls that worshipped everything he was. A bestfriend who was always there, even after he almost killed him. He remembered when he had first arrived. and the expression on Naruto's face, when he asked where Sakura was.

Sasuke stood in front of the Konoha gate, as nostalgia filled his being. He had returned to his former home that he had swore he'd never retrun to. Unfortunely for Orochimaru, Sasuke was not as stupid as Orochimaru had thought. He knew of the plan, to take over his body. Though it was postponed, Orochimaru still believed he would have an Uchiha's body. Sasuke was through with Orochimaru after he had nothing else to give. Nothing else to teach. Orochimaru wasn't pleased.

No not at all.

Sasuke scoffed when he remembered how Orochimaru begged and cursed and threatened. Sasuke had come back for only a couple of reasons. To begin his second goal, and train for the beginning of his first. He had yet to kill Itachi, but he wouldn't give up. He was stronger. Sharper. More focused. And gained so much more

Hatred.

"You there!" A guard called, only to stop in his tracks. "U-Uchiha." He stuttered in shock. Sasuke looked at him, his eyes narrowed.

"Take me to the Hokage," He said, emotions were still absent in his tone. He followed the ANBU operative to the Hokage tower. Knocking on it twice. He expected to be handcuffed, but the ANBU operative felt it unneccesary since Sasuke had already asked to be taken to the Hokage.

'Weak fool.' Sasuke thought.

"BUT BAA-CHANNN!" Sasuke cringed.

"No Naruto! Now shut the hell up!" A loud thunk was heard.

"Itaaaai! But why nooot!" Naruto's voice was heard again, whining in protest to Tsunade's response.

"You just got out of the hospital and you expect me to let you go out on another mission? You truly are a moron!" Tsunade's annoyance could be heard. Sasuke twitched. He knocked on the door louder.

"Tsunade-Baa-Chan someones at your door." Naruto stated.

"Obviously! COME IN!" She yelled. "If your Neji Hyuuga asking for another mission I swear to Kami-Sama I'll-" She paused. Sasuke had walked in the door.

"S-Sasuke." Naruto looked the man up and down, making sure it was really him. He blinked several times, before he shouted in glee. "SASUKE-TEMEEE!" Naruto punched him in the stomach. Sasuke hit the wall as he coughed.

"What the hell was that for dobe?" He glared raising his fist, but set it back to his side as he looked away, scoffing as he smirked.

"Not that I dont love this little catching up scene, wait, I dont. I want your reason as to why your here, Uchiha." Tsunade glared.

"I've cut my alliance with Orochimaru." He spoke, monotone.

"Really? And how am I suppose to believe you, Uchiha? Just take your word? I'm not a moron like knuckle head over there! Naruto! Get Ibiki and Anko. They will interrogate him while I think about what the hell is happening."

"Hai!" Naruto vanished as Ibiki and Anko appeared soon after. Naruto arrived after them.

"Uchiha's back eh?" Anko grinned to the raven haired boy.

"Take him. Interrogate him. I want all information. Go. NOW!" Tsunade yelled.

"Hai, Tsunade-Sama." They poofed in a cloud of smoke, leaving Naruto behind as he grinned at the woman. She sighed, What a long day this was going to be.

"Alright Uchiha. We've extracted every ounce of information we could. I'm impressed by your bravery to sell out Orochimaru, but you're still an ignorant boy. You will be on probation for two years, No missions. Though I may assign you D rank missions for the fun of it." Sasuke twitched. "You will be under ANBU watch. Though the Uchiha compound is yours, you are not allowed there until atleast six weeks from now. You will be given a home, and watched closely. If you don't like this, then suck it. I can arrest you know if you'd like. No? Good. Naruto, get this Uchiha out of here and watch him. I'll let the Hyuuga know he's got guard duty tonight." Tsunade smirked.

Sasuke was beginning to wonder why he came back.

"Alright Sasuke-Teme! Let's get some ramen!" Naruto cheered, dragging his dear old friend to Ichiraku. On their way Naruto talked on and on about how great it was to have his old teammate back in Konoha and away from the snake bastard, as he put it. He went on about everyone in the rookie nine. Everyone but Sakura, Sasuke noted.

"Dobe." Sasuke said, stopping.

"Don't call me dobe, Teme!" Naruto said loudly, "I'm a Jounin! A super powerful one at that! I could you knock you into the wind country with only one pinky toe-"

"Where is Sakura." His voice deep, and demanding. Naruto stopped talking completely, and looked at him.

"S-Sakura?" Naruto stuttered. regaining his composure, he spoke more seriously. "Sakura-Chan, is dead, Sasuke. She's been gone for awhile." The words hit Sasuke like a train. He didn't blink, he didn't speak. No, he didn't even move. The one of two people he came back for, was gone? He didn't believe it. He had come back. To make her his. To have her bear his heir. To rebuild his broken clan. He came back to see Naruto, to train. But more importantly, to see Sakura again. To hear her voice, to see her smile, to smell her strawberry flavored scent that roamed the air she always walked around. But he hadn't seen that, and to him,

he thought he never would again.

Sakura needed answers. She needed a way. An idea. Any idea that would help her. Anything that would get her back to where she belonged. She loathed where she was now. Konoha village. Where Naruto was a younger imbecile and Sasuke was still in the village, no where near Orochimaru. Where everyone considered her a friend.

She scoffed.

Like hell. None of them were her friends. She would never consider any of them frie-

"Forehead girl." Ino sneered as she walked to Sakura. Sakura continued walking till she looked over.

"Huh? Were you talking pig? I cant speak pig latin." Sakura shooed her with her hand as she turned the corner leaving a fuming blond. Sakura snickered. Though she loathed her home village, pissing everyone off made it more tolerable.

But,

She still needed a way out of here.

"Ero-Sennin! Finally. We've been waiting here forever! Do you know where we can find the scrolls?" Naruto said as Jiriaya walked in,

"Well-" Tsunade then walked in.

"Excuse me boys, I need to check up on," Tsunade swallowed, "Haruno-San." She walked past the three and proceeded to examine Sakura's arm.

"Well what pervy-Sage?" Naruto pressed. Sasuke watched Tsunade as she worked on healing Sakura's arm and checking for any other wounds.

"I found a man, on the very border of the fire country who collects scrolls. With information I've gathered, he is the one who can teach it to you." Jiriaya spoke as Naruto squinted.

"But why cant I just get this guy do it? It took forever to learn the technique. We don't have time er-"

"Naruto. The only one who can dispell this jutsu, is the one who used it. Sakura could very well get out of it on her own, but even if she is as intelligant and strong minded as tsunade, it is not guranteed. The longer you take, the more time passes inside her head. The older she gets, the older she feels. If we take longer than two weeks, she could very well become an old hag and die right there. If her mind believes that its her time, it will be."

"B-B-B-But that's not fair!" Naruto said loudly. "How am I sup-"

"Naruto!" Sasuke said suddenly, Naruto turned, to see scratches forming on Sakura's hands and arms. "What's happening?" Sasuke asked.

"I-I-I dont know!" Naruto said as he watched the scratches bleed.

"God damn cat!" Sakura as she dusted herself. "If Naruto hadn't of just took off after it and tripped over the trap I set it wouldn't have gotten like this!" She darted down the dirt path after the furry feline.

"I GOT EM! I GOT EM!" Naruto shouted as he held the cat, earning several scratches. Sakura sweatdropped.

'Missions finally over. maybe now I can get some rest.' She rubbed her temples.

"Affirmative." She heard Sasuke speak. "Got a positive ID." She heard kakahi speak through the mic, but didn't care what was said.

"CANT WE GET A BETTER MISSION THAN THIS? I HATE CATS!" Naruto yelled.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Sakura bonked his head.

"She's fine now. But Naruto, have your conversation outside, I'm trying to work here." Tsunade said, "And try to hurry," She said, a saddened expression on her face, "I don't want her die. Not here. Not now." Tsunade looked to the unconscious Sakura, who's pink locks were spread across the pillow as her pale complextion shined under the sunlight coming from the window.

"Of course, Baa-Chan" Naruto walked out, with jiraiya, as they stood outisde by the door, conversating quietly.

"Do you hate it as much as I do?" Tsunade spoke, Sasuke looked to her, a bit suprised. "I see the way you look at her Uchiha. I am not blind." Tsunade spoke. Sasuke looked away, but ended up with his eye's back on Sakura.

"I did not expect to see her, after being told she was dead." Sasuke's tone was as always, emotionless. Tsunade inspected her chest, and her arms as she spoke once again.

"I didn't either. I had really believed she was gone for good. But the way she looked at me during the battle.." Tsunade's face was thoughtful, "She seemed so upset, and angry. I just didn-" Tsunade stopped altogether. Her eyes wide, and her hands shook over Sakura's stomach

"What is it?" sasuke asked as he watched her expression closely. Tsunade didnt reply. "What is it!" Sasuke got louder. Causing Naruto to walk in.

"Damn it answer me!" He yelled.

Sakura stood infront of the Hokage, Iruka, the cat lady and her cat as the woman suffocated it. Naruto was complaining, as usual. And Sakura was gaining a headache.

wake up, Sakura

'Not that voice again.' She winced, her head was throbbing. 'Can't they hear it?' She looked to Naruto who was still running his mouth and going on about a better mission. 'How can they not hear it? Unless,'

Wake up...

'Wake up from what damn it! I am awake! Stop talking! Just stop! Go away! Go away away away!' She yelled in her head.

You have to wake up... a secret is being revealed.

'Stop whispering in my head!'"Just stop damn it!" Sakura said allowed.

"Sakura?" Naruto said, dumbfounded.

"She's right, Naruto. So be it. Since you are so determined, I'm going to give you a C-ranked mission. You'll be body guards on a journey." The third Hokage spoke.

"Really? YES! whoo whoo! Are we guarding a princess or a busy counseler?" Naruto asked excitingly.

"Dont be so impatient." The Third Hokage smiled as he took a puff of his pipe. "I will bring him in now. Send in our visitor" The old man called. the four turned to see who it was.

"What the? A bunch of little snot nosed kids?" The old man who walked in took a drink of his bottle. After he finished gulping it down he leaned against the door frame. "and you, the little one with the idiotic look on your face. You really expect me to believe your a ninja?" He pointed. Naruto laughed.

"Hahahhaa, who's the little one with the idiotic look on his face?" Naruto laughed as he looked to his right and his left. Seeing Sasuke and Sakura. "Huh?" He looked again. Then he realized...

"I'll demolish you!" he cried as Kakashi held him by his back collar.

"You don't demolish the client. That's an order." kakashi said as Naruto yelled words to older man. the man took another drink and after he swallowed, he spoke.

"I am Tazuma, a master bridge builder, and I must return to my country. I'm building a bridge there that will change our world and I expect you to get me there safely, even if it means giving up your life." He said dully.

"What is it?" sasuke asked as he watched her expression closely. Tsunade didnt reply. "What is it!" Sasuke got louder. Causing Naruto to walk in.

"Damn it answer me!" He yelled

"What's wrong, Tsunade?" Jiraiya walked in, a serious expression. She looked up, to look at the three men. She cleared her throat.

"Haruno-San," She began, "Is pregnant."

TADA. It's short. But finally right? YAY!

Review eh? Sorry if there are mistakes!
