There You'll Be

The morning light surrounded the large camp awaking those few shinobi who were able to sleep through the night. If you looked around the area you would assume that they were just having a camp out. The tension was yet to surround the area. Sakura stirred slightly in her sleeping state. Her eyes quickly opened feeling warmth of another body. She moved slightly to look behind her. The sleeping form of Naruto stared back at her. She breathed in deeply, her breath came out shaky. Her chest felt heavy. She closed her eyes feeling the tears that laid behind them sting her already sore eyes.

She traced the outlines of his whisker like marks on his face. She could hardly believe that everything that had happened to them in the past months were real. This war? This life? She hardly felt like a person any longer, and more of a pawn of life's creation. Her body felt heavy as her eyes wondered over his sleeping face knowing that it wouldn't be long before his eyes would open an the realization of what had happened the night before would hit him and he would no longer look this peaceful.

Pushing herself to sit up she felt and overwhelming amount of pain erupt through her body causing her to lean forward, her hand clutching her stomach as she let out a stifled yelp. When her clinched eyes opened slightly she noticed the blue eyes of Naruto staring at her. "You're hurt." his deep voice echoed in her mind. She tried to focus on him instead of the pain the surrounded her.

"I'm fine." she lied, as she let a smile form on her face. Despite her tries her grimace of pain remained. Naruto closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He knew there was no fighting her once she made up her mind on something. His hand slowly made its way to her stomach. She jumped slightly at the touch.

"We... we were going to have a baby..." he whispered. Sakura's jaw tightened. She let out a hiss of breath though her clinched teeth. She tried to keep the sobs at bay. The tears she had tried to hold back so desperately fell from her eyes.

"Yes." she sobbed out. She clung to the white tank top that Naruto was wearing. "Yes." she sobbed more. Her hand formed fists that held on to his shirt like if she let go this world would be lost to her. "He did this. That bastard did this!" she screamed. Naruto's arms quickly wrapped around her, pulling her to him tightly.

"Everything is going to be okay." he whispered to her, unsure of himself. He kissed her hair line many times, enjoying the scent of strawberry she gave off. "We can have another child, when this war is over we will have another child." he whispered. He could feel her nod against his chest. He closed his own eyes trying to fight back his own tears. He felt helpless.

This whole war was started so he could save his best friend. Bring his best friend back to the light. And now he felt lost. He felt anger. He felt hate for his best friend. Someone he had sworn to save for so many years meant nothing to him. After what he had done to the woman he loved. What he had done to his unborn child. There would be no saving on this day. There would be blood. There would be pain. Naruto glared at the ground, there would be no forgiveness.

"I want to show you something.." Naruto whispered against her hair line.

"What is it?" she asked. Naruto pulled out the small scroll that he carried with him everywhere. Opening it he did a few signs and the notebook came to view.

"I wrote to you. Every day." He whispered handing her the notebook. She stared at him wide eyed. She began to cry again.

"I wrote to you as well." she smiled. "The letters are back in Konoha." she smiled, she traced the outlines of the notebook with her fingers. Opening the book she began to read over the sloppy hand writing she had grown to adore. She smiled at certain parts that would have made her laugh if she had been there. She came to a point where she grew sad knowing the pain he had gone through. And than a wave of anger when she thought of Ami flirting with him.

"That bitch. I dare her to try that in front of me." Sakura mumbled as she handed the notebook back to Naruto who chuckled.

A tap on the tent brought the two from their moment. "Who is it?" Naruto asked.

"It's Ino."

"Come in." The flap moved, and the blonde haired woman walked in. She quickly dropped to her knees and made her way to the two. "Hey... Sakura." Sakura turned to look at her best friend. She stared at the woman for a few minutes trying to stay composed but quickly broke into tears once more.

"Ino!" Sakura cried, moving her arms from Naruto to Ino. The pinkette held her so close. "I was so scared that you wouldn't be alive." Sakura whispered. Ino snorted.

"Of course I'm alive. I can't die. Where would you be with out me?" she questioned with a smile. She pulled Sakura away from her slightly. "Here." Ino said, moving on of he hands to Sakura's abdominal her hand glowing green. After a few moments she pulled her hand away. "There you'll be in less pain... just don't over exert yourself." Ino stated. Sakura nodded. Green eyes began to fill with tears once more. "Hey! No you can't cry anymore do you hear me?" Ino glared at her friend. "You're a strong kunoichi. And kunoichi don't cry." Ino smiled at her friend.

Sakura smiled. "You're right." she nodded. She tightened her fist. "I'm a strong kunoichi." She told herself. The words helped calm her. Ino always had a way of not showing pity to her. Ino really did make her into a stronger person and continued to do so.

"Now. Kakashi-sensei is getting everyone rounded up. So we ready to kick some ass!" Ino's loud voice echoed. Sakura laughed slightly, a smile was placed on her face. "Now hurry up! We can't wait all day!" the blonde said before making her way out of the tent. Sakura's chest felt lighter as she grabbed her ninja attire and quickly changed.

"Sakura-chan? Are you okay?" Naruto asked, his rough hand gently touched her shoulder. She turned and smiled at him.

"I'm fine Naruto." She whispered, she moved closer to him pressing her forehead against his. She closed her eyes, her smile never leaving her face. "I'm more than fine now that I'm back with my family. I love you Naruto-koi." Naruto's face reddened. Her grinned wildly, as he scratched the back of his neck. He laughed loudly.

"I love you more." he kissed her quickly.
