Author's Note: hiya! So, here's a newwww chappy!!! Yeyyyya! Don't ask… I should be working on a Chinese culture project right now but I don't feel like concentrating, soooo nyah! But before we get to the chapter, I'd like to give my rant. (don't worry, I still will write a long chapter, I feel your pain. I hate it when people post lyrics to a chapter which takes up half of it!)

Sakura-bashing rant:

Okay, so the Sakura bashing should really stop right now. I'm so getting sick of them calling her a bitch and what not even when she has obviously become a hell of a lot cooler in the "Shippuden". Even some people who support SasuSaku find some way to bash her in their stories! It is just getting annoying. In my opinion, Sakura really was only annoying up until she cut her hair. I just think it should stop. Even in the "What would the Naruto characters think of you" quizzes (yea, I take them! They're fun!), they freaking use the "before the chunin exams" Sakura just to make her look stupid. Ugh, they also make Ino look bad as well! I'm not much of a fan, but she really isn't in a lot of the series to even be bashed… there's no point.

The logical side: These aren't real characters people!! Then why bash them!! It's not going to make them change! Kishimoto-sama (I praise him for make Naruto!) is the creator and is the only one with that ability. So, say you dislike a character, but don't go making fanart and stories about killing the character! Geez, it's just stupid.

I'm sorta guilty when it comes to bashing too, don't get me wrong. I freaking hate Karin (…the douche bag.. If anyone has ever listened to Dane cook, then they'd know :D). She is just like the 12-year old Sakura, but 15! I think that's even worse than Sakura. At least she grew out of that!

So, this turned from a Sakura bashing rant to an all character bashing rant… but you guys get my point.

Disclaimer:

Me: Soooo, after that very short rant ( wanted to write the chapter so bad), I now invite…. Tobi-kun:3!!!

Tobi: waves maniacally at readers in chibi form HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: He's so cute!!!!! SQUEE!

Tobi: Miyako-chan! Can I do the disclaimer! CAN I? CAN I? PLLLEAEEAAAAAASE!!!

Me: grins You're annoyingly cute! Go ahead!

Tobi: Miyako-hime does not own Naruto or anything already owned in this chapter, if she did, then she'd bring back Deidara-sempai and Sasori-sampai.

Me: Arigatou! OH! Before you go, Tobi-kun. Answer this question for our readers, …are you Uchiha Obito?

Tobi: runs for the hills

Me: GAHHH! TOBI!!! DON'T MAKE ME LOCK YOU UP LIKE SASUKE-KUN and SASORI-KUN!!!

Chapter 8: Sasuke's Family Part 2

Last time on CH:

"Sas-kun! Dei-kun!" Sakura cheered. In the corner of her eye she saw both Uchihas looking pretty confused.

Sasori chuckled lightly, "Sakura-hime, you've grown so beautifully since the last time I saw you."

"Ne, Sas-kun! I've missed you so much!" Sasuke watched wide-eyed and a little enviously as Sakura was hugging Sasori's waist and rubbing her face into his stomach. 'What the hell?! How does Sakura know these freaks?' Sasuke thought, glaring.

"Ahh, Saku-chan! Don't leave me out!" complained Deidara. He took her by the waist and hugged her to his chest. Sasuke's glare narrowed. Meanwhile, Itachi just watched the scene before him, amused. Deidara and Sasori were both smothering the Sakura girl and his little brother was fuming right next to him. If Sasuke's frustration was energy, then he alone could fuel Tokyo.

A loud rupture of laughter came out of the cherry blossom's mouth, "Stop Dei-kun! AHAHA!! That tickles!!! HAHA!!" Deidara was rubbing his hands up and down her sides, leaving the youngest Uchiha why Sakura was so ticklish all the sudden. I mean, it looks more like he's trying to grope her with those freak-show—Realization hit him.

"Godamnit! You hentai!" Sasuke roughly pulled Sakura out of the clay master's arms, "Get those freak-of-nature hands of yours away from her!"

Deidara could only laugh, "These hands may be strange, but they make wondrous masterpieces!" He held up his right hand for Sasuke to see a tongue sticking out of the palm of his hand. He growled in annoyance.

"Ano, Sasuke, just forget about that. Could you please introduce me to your brother?" He glanced down at the girl in his arms, annoyed that she'd just let that pervert slip by, and watched her gaze curiously at Itachi. 'Hehe, she looks so cute when she does— whoa, no distractions Uchiha! You can't afford that.' Though he couldn't help but gaze at the girl. She was an annoyance. An annoyance he was glad to have.

"Sasuke?"

"Oh, um, this is Itachi. Itachi, this is Sakura."

Itachi smirked. His brother seemed to have a connection with this girl. At least he had good taste.

"Well, she is a cute one (insert smirk). Nice to meet you, Sakura-chan." Sakura's eyes lit up at the sound of the suffix.

"Same here, Ita-sempai!"

Sasuke shot her a glare, "Come on. We got work to do." He dragged the poor girl off.

"Bye Sakura-hime! Come see my art gallery sometime! It's right next to a bakery in the center of town!" called Sasori as Sakura was carried away.

Once they were in Sasuke's room, he set her back on her feet.

"Sasuke! I wanted to at least say goodbye— WOAH!" Sakura stood wide eyed in the gigantic room before her.

It was definitely Sasuke's room. The walls were painted a dark blue and black curtains shaded the windows. Yet the thing that really surprised her was how MESSY the room was! Clothes, video game boxes, mangas, etc. were scattered all over the floor. His bed was surrounded with heavy curtains, but still visible were bundled up white and blue comforters. On the walls were posters of Japanese hard rock bands and some, surprisingly, American emo bands. There was also a computer, TV, and Wii.

"Sasuke, I didn't know you liked The Used! They have the weirdest songs (in a good way!), and My Chemical Romance?! I love them!"

"Hn, you don't seem the type to like pop rock or any rock for that matter."

Sakura walked over and looked closely at one of the Japanese posters, "I like any type of music. I don't really care what artist, but MCR has a lot of my favorite songs."

Sasuke nodded.

"If you like MCR, then you're bound to like some of these." Sasuke pointed toward the Japanese bands.

Sakura gazed at them.

Sasuke kicked aside some of his clothes to make a little more room for work. CRACK.

"Shit."

"What is it, Sasuke?" Sakura walked over to where Sasuke was picking up something. It was a picture and a broken frame. She guessed it was of his family because she could pinpoint Itachi, his mother, father, and little Sasuke himself, in front of the grand doors of their house. Sasuke was smiling with his teeth showing and was yanking on Itachi's arm. Sasuke's mother had a hand on his shoulder, smiling gentle. The only thing that seemed wrong about the picture was Sasuke's father. He wasn't smiling at all but had a hand on Itachi's shoulder. Pride was evident on his face.

Sakura cooed, "Ooohh! Sasuke! You look so cute! When did you become so evil! You looked so innocent!"

He merely glared at her.

"Ne, and Ita-sensei looks so young as well!"

"… Why don't I get a suffix?"

Sakura looked up wide-eyed, "Huh?"

"…You heard me."

"I know, but I don't get the question."

Sasuke sighed, "You give everyone you know so far suffixes, like your friends, Dei-kun, Sas-kun, even Ita-sempai! Who you just met today! Why don't I get one?"

Sakura giggled, "You're acting so silly! Why does it matter?"

Sasuke slumped down onto his bed.

"I don't know."

Sakura laid next to him on the bed, cuddling up in the blankets while Sasuke was left out in the cold. She only stuck the top part of her head out and blinked.

"If you want a suffix so bad, then how about Sasuke-san?" Sakura muffled. She knew that was going to annoy him.

Sasuke shut his eyes while flicking her forehead, "Try again."

"Sasuke-chan?"

Glare.

"Definitely not Sasuke-sama."

"Why not? Itachi gets to be your sempai," Sasuke comment, mocking her voice.

"Because he's older and wiser than me, you're only one of those to, and by a few months I might add." Sakura smirked at her insult. (I know Sakura is actually a few months older but I just felt like it being the opposite way).

Sasuke frowned.

"Shishou?"

"NO!"

"Well then, you've given me no choice." Sasuke ripped the covers off of Sakura and placed his hands and knees on both sides of her body. Sakura shivered from the sudden cold, but quickly over came that by blushing because of the position they were in.

Sakura's mind was going crazy. She had never been so close to a boy in her whole life, except giving hugs to her father. Sasuke looked so hot. His bangs were curtaining his face and his eyes bore deeply into her own, gazing. She could smell the coffee still, probably because he never ate anything at lunch. His lips were pale, but still perfect. He arms were still as lean as they were in Gym.

"Ano, Sasuke? What are you doing?" Sakura whispered. She was surprised she could find her voice.

"Try Sasuke-kun," He whispered into her ear.

Sakura's breath hitched, "Sasuke…kun?"

A wide smirk graced Sasuke's lips, "Yea, that's perfect," he chuckled, "Better than those annoying fan girls."

Sakura's face got redder. His face seemed to get closer and closer with each passing second.

Inch by inch.

Centimeter by centimeter.

She could have sworn that his lips had brushed against hers. Before he could go in for the kill, the door slammed open.

"Otouto, kaa-san wants to meet— whoa." A smirk graced his face. 'So that's where Sasuke got it.'

"Well, Sasuke. You've finally proved to me that you are not gay, but you don't have to defile poor little Sakura-chan."

"Get out, Itachi!" Sasuke snarled. He dashed towards the door and slammed it in his brother's face. He sighed. Why did his brother have to come at the worst times? Sasuke was sort of glad, though, because he was extremely close to kissing Sakura. As much as his hormones wanted to, he had to keep control. Though Sasuke knew his resilience was wearing thin.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke turned his head sharply to the pink-haired girl. His lips curved upward at the suffix.

"Yea?"

"Could I meet your mother? She looks so nice in the picture."

Sasuke blinked. That's why Itachi came in here, so why not?

"Sure, but after we're going to start on that jutsu."

Sakura smiled gently and grabbed Sasuke's arm. Sasuke felt heat rise in his cheeks, but quickly controlled it.

"Let's go."

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

Sakura walked next to Sasuke down the grand steps she earlier was dragged up by Sasuke. Then they walked down the hallway and outside where Sakura saw a tiny koi pond surrounded by stones and love grass. The Uchiha Main household was a peaceful one. Sasuke and Sakura entered a different part of the household where Sakura guessed guests would usually come. There was a few dining rooms, all grand and decorated the Uchiha fashion, a large office, and a living room. Once the two had walked passed all that, Sakura was greeted to what seemed like a mini-library. Books were everywhere. On the tables, shelves, and side tables. Sakura then spotted a beautiful woman sitting gracefully on one of the couches, reading a thick novel.

"Good afternoon, kaa-san," Sasuke greeted.

The said mother looked up. Sakura thought she even more beautiful in real life. Sasuke had definitely inherited her eyes. They were charcoal black, though with a much happier and serene aura, arched so very gracefully. She had long black hair that looked smooth to the touch. Her face did not look stuck up or prideful but motherly and kind. The Uchiha closed the book gently and set it down on the coffee table in front of her.

"Sasuke-chan! Did you have a nice time at school? I see you've brought a friend!" She smiled.

"Hai, this is Sakura."

Sasuke's mother got up from her seat, "It is so nice to meet you, Sakura-chan. I'm Mykito Uchiha. It's been so long since Sasu-chan has brought any friends over!"

"Oh, it's nice to meet you to Uchiha-sama!" Sakura bowed quickly.

Mykito chuckled, "Please, don't be so formal with me. Just call me Mykito and don't bow! It makes me feel old!"

"Hai!"

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

"She looks familiar, doesn't she, Itachi?"

Itachi gazed out the game room window, "Yea, her pink hair is a dead giveaway. Just like her mother, from what can remember."

Sasori sighed and nodded, "Though she does have the eyes of her clan, part of their kekkai genkai."

"So the only survivor of one of the most powerful clans in history is finally found, and she doesn't remember a thing, un." Deidara squeezed the clay in his hands, "No wonder Tsunade had her as an apprentice."

"… I wonder if she'll ever remember."

Itachi shifted his gaze back to his two teammates, "I think she can, but subconsciously doesn't want to. The scene of the massacre was grotesque. That's probably why we couldn't find her; she ran away from such a horrifying scene."

"I'm still confused about the crime scene, un. Even after all these years. The attackers were also dead or struggling for life, but who could have done that? All the clan members were dead way before the intruder's deaths."

"Hai, the assassination of the great Haruno clan has many variables left to be solved."
