"Sorry sir…………"
"Sakura?!"
"….Didn't he know I was here already?"
"What are you doing here?"
"The bo…..He didn't tell you, did he?"
"What? Who?"
"Jiro and Ju…." she looked around and they had gotten quite a crowd interested in their little 'scene.'
"Come on I'll tell you somewhere besides here."
They had arrived at a restaurant and had sat way in the back in a secluded booth.
"Sakura what didn't your…my…our sons not tell me that you know already?" asked Sasuke stumbling for the right words.
"That they switched places."
"How could…….?"
"I was in Konoha about two weeks ago. They switched then."
"I've had Jiro with me all this time?"
"Yes" she nodded she regretted taking their second son away from him by the look on his face.
"When did you find out?"
"About three days ago."
"Why would they……."
"Junichi really wanted to meet you and Jiro really wanted to meet you so they switched places so they could get the chance."
"Makes sense."
"Sasuke."
"Yeah" he breathed. He hadn't heard her say his name in 11 years.
"Junichi's a great kid. You've raised him well."
"Thank you Sakura."
"No problem."
"Your hair it's..."
"Yes I know shorter."
"So you finally cut it."
"Yeah I guess I just never had the time."
"You look great Sakura."
"Thanks…" she blushed. Which made Sasuke smirk.
"Jiro must have told him that we were at the Ume. But why here and now of all time and places?"
""We?", "Now?" Sasuke I'm sorry if you're busy right now."
"Don't be it's fine…….I've gotten to see you again after all these years haven't I?"
"Yeah" she whispered getting lost into his onyx eyes how she used to love doing that.
"Sakura why did you leave?"
"Because…Because…Because I couldn't take it anymore."
"You thought those rumors were true?"
"Yeah I mean you never….."
"Sakura I've loved ever since I got back" before she had the chance to finish.
"He still loves me…?"
What a mistake she had made……
"I'm sorry…"
"Sakura….?"
"I should have never doubted you" she whispered as she looked down into her cup of black coffee. In the reflection she saw everyone who had spread those rumors. Those which ruined her mind into thinking that the man before her only took interest in her just so she would bear his children and revive his clan and that he only married her because it was the right thing to do since she was pregnant.
A single tear dropped down her cheek and dropped in the cup causing the reflection of those people to disappear from her mind and soon more tears flooded her eyes and overflowed.
Sasuke wiped her cheek and tilted her head by her chin with one finger so she would look at him.
He looked into her jade eyes they had always been the most beautiful things he had ever seen in his life from the day he met her even though he'd never admit it when he was younger. But he never told her so when they were……together.
"You have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, you know that don't you?"
She smiled, "no…"
"Sakura it's not your fault. I-I should have been more open and affectionate towards you."
Silence lingered for what seemed to be forever until Sakura decided to break it.
"Sasuke what are we going to do now with the boys?"
"I don't know we'll figure something out. But what's new?" he smiled.
Even Kaya couldn't make him smile like that.
"Well…"
"Have you finally gotten any nephews?" he laughed.
"Nope just two nieces, Sayuri and Hasu if you remember her."
"Yeah I remember. So whose daughter is Sayuri?"
"You remember my younger brother Hisashi?"
"He's the youngest of the triplet's right?"
"Yeah you're right. Well he married a woman named Sayuki and they had her."
"What about your 20 cousins?"
"Mitsuru finally got a son."
"He laughed "what about the wife?"
"Oh she was such a sweet lady……."
"Was?"
"Yeah Cho was killed by Etsu the wife before her."
"Oh so what's the boy's name?"
"Maru."
"Well I wish him luck." He whistled, "Three older sisters and no mom…"
"Yeah…." she laughed.
"What were his daughter's names again?"
"Haru, Natsu, and Fuyu."
"Anything else happen?"
"Yeah, my cousin Murasaki she had two kids the last time you saw her remember?"
"Yeah…Unfortunatley" Those two girls would not let go of his hair.
"Well now she has seven, and my cousins Gina and Chika are in jail now. But enough about my family and I. What's happened here in Konoha"
"What did you do when you were here?" he smirked.
"I was at Shikamaru's and Ino's house and at Naruto's and Hinata's and I checked on Tsunade and that was all."
"Well Kakashi married Anko, Neji married Tenten and………."
"Oh my god I forgot about Kakashi……" Sakura gasped.
"How….."
"I mean I forgot to see him when I was here."
"Who's here with you?"
"Tsutsuji and Eiji."
"You and her really are 'almost inseparable'…"
"Funny. I still can't believe he didn't tell you" Sakura sighed.
