XxXxXxXxXxXxX

I promised myself I wouldn't care what the result was. I promised that I wouldn't breakdown and be sad, but I made a promise I couldn't keep.

" It's okay Sakura." Tenten whispered in my ear. She'd burst into the bathroom, about five minutes after I started crying. I held the three negative pregnancy tests in my hand, nearly crushing them. I hadn't realized how much I wanted it to be positive, it felt like I'd had my heart broken one thousand times over. I was so sure it was going to be positive, but I guess I was wrong.

Tenten's soothing words weren't comforting me, although I'd stopped crying, I couldn't get a hold of myself. I could've been pregnant, with a little black haired-green eyed baby. I knew I was over reacting, but I'd finally had the chance to call something my own, nearly.

After a couple of minutes Tenten steered me to my bed and we both sat down.

" I...was so sure." I whispered and Tenten hugged me even tighter, but no amount of hugs could make me better.

I looked into Tenten's eyes, waiting for her cheerful attitude to try and make it better, but nothing. I frowned and then took in Tenten's state, she'd been crying, her hands were shaking and I her cute brown eyes were all puffed up. I am such a selfish bitch, I didn't even ask Tenten what was wrong.

" Ten-"

" No, Sakura, my problem is much smaller than yours." Tenten said, a small smile evident on her face. I wonder what happened.

Tenten stayed with me for another hour before Sasuke had to come back. He was dealing with Karin and Amaya, I didn't know what he was going to do but I hoped it involved pain. He was getting rid of the guests as well, which was a relief. But, he was looking tired lately. Sasuke had been drinking my blood on a daily basis, which then led to very, very naughty things. Because of all that's happened, the party, me being beaten up, me beating up someone else. I'll make sure he gets what he needs later.

" Tenten," I called as she opened the room door to walk out, " you're telling me what's wrong when I escape from Sasuke." I said, deadly serious, then I narrowed my eyes, " Even if I have to hunt you down."

Tenten shivered and I couldn't help but smile, I really liked to tease her. After she left I disposed of the tests, not looking at them once. In the bathroom there was two bins, one for Sasuke and his man thingy's and one for me and my woman thingy's. Only one maid goes into our bathroom, I'll need to speak to her incase she finds them and blabs.

Shutting the bathroom door behind me I walked to the bed. My head was sore from crying and I knew I looked like I'd been full-body-blow-dried with a massive fan. My hair was sticking out at all ends and my pajama top was hanging off one shoulder. I guess Sasuke or one of the maids changed me while I'd been asleep. I knew for certain Sasuke would be suspicious about my attire, I'll have to tell him something to clean my tracks.

I hadn't felt the pulse since before I took the pregnancy test. To be honest, I was starting to miss it. It gave me a sort of feeling that I couldn't decribe with words even if I tried. It was like my little secret, it kept me company. But now, it isn't here.

I stretched my arms above my head and flexed all of my back muscles.

" I could do with a chocolate-shavings doughnut." I said to myself, the shavings melting in your mouth, the dough fitting into your gob as if it was made specifically for you. The taste of it sliding down your throat.

" Sakura."

The texture, feels like feathers.

" Sakura."

The smell-

" Sakura!" Then my hands were grabbed from above my head and I was pulled into a hard chest.

Onyx gems stared back into my eyes, glistening in the glow that the light above provided. Framed by a mop of black hair, that in my opinion still looks like a chicken's ass. There's nothing else I can compare it to, well, there is a duck's ass. But...you know. Chicken ass sounds so much better.

" Why were you crying?" His voice was almost pleading.

Oh...well, I just took three pregnancy tests and all of them were negative and I completely cried my eyes out. And then later I have to go hunt down Tenten because she was also crying. Should I say that? Hmmm, decisions decisions.

" Uh, I...hurt...my...foot...while...playing football with Ten..ten."

Sasuke raised one eyebrow, which in Uchiha language means, 'what the fuck?'

Okay, it was the best I could come up with! I did actually hurt my foot, but I banged it off the edge of the bath tub...God damnit! I could've just said that! Then, of all the things that had to happen, a deep grumbling noise rose in my stomach, thinking about food can actually make you hungry. I nervously stepped away from Sasuke, waving my hands.

" It was only a bump anyway. Ha, so..I'm going to get something to eat, okay?"

Sasuke opened his mouth and reached for me but I was out of that room like the hammers of hell. He'd want answers when I got back, a whole lot of them. I might as well stuff myself before going back-

" Sakura, answer me now!" The bang of a door being opened and flung against the wall was heard behind me. Shit! I should've known he wasn't going to leave it at that!

" I'm hungry! Don't disturb me!" I shouted over my shoulder while smoothly changing my slow pace into a jog. Just incase he chased after me, but there's no doubt that he'd catch me anyway. And then footsteps were closing in behind me. For the love of all things holy, gimme a break!

My jog changed into an all out frantic sprint down the hall, my hands flailing madly over my head. I got to the first corner but was soon lifted off my feet, and something happened in the exact same moment my body left the ground. Something that froze me to the spot while my heart was preying I didn't imagine it.

A pulse...

Sasuke was saying something to me but I wasn't paying attention. I was focused on Sasuke's hand, right where the pulse was. It pulsed because...of Sasuke. Another pulse was all it took for tears to fill my eyes. Sasuke stopped talking behind me, but I rushed out of his grasp, away from his reaching hands. I ran down hallways until I finally reached the lounge. I waited, panting against the door for another pulse. After waiting for five minutes, I gave up.

THE PULSE IS NOT AT HER ABDOMEN, IT'S WHERE HER WOMB IS! I WILL SPREAD THIS OUT THROUGH THE STORY SO THAT YOU GET IT!

" It was my imagination. There is nothing inside of me, not a baby, nothing." I repeated myself over and over before I got to the mini fridge and my stash of doughnuts. Sitting on the couch, I lay my head back on the armrest and pulled my feet up. I balanced the box of doughnuts on my stomach gently and kept reassuring myself in my head that I was going crazy. I took three tests, three, and all were negative, unless this is some sort of process of immortality.

I took my first bite of the heavenly ring since before the wedding, I sighed happily and snuggled into the soft suede of the couch. Now, this was the life. Gone to wonderland with the doughnut, I'd somehow started to pat the skin covering my womb gently. On the fifth pat, a little pulse followed my pattern. Pulsing when I patted, this time I didn't cry, when I cried it went away. So I made sure to keep my true feelings at the back of my head and continued to pat and eat. You know what they say about women and multi-tasking. Smiling to myself, I let the time pass by, before finally dozing off to a much needed sleep.

...

Ugh, note to self, NEVER SLEEP ON A COUCH AGAIN! My neck had the most awful crink and my back felt like a brick wall. Don't even get me started on my ass, it felt like it had been battered with a shovel. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a bit, stretching my ligaments and then flopping down like a bean bag. Then I happened to look to my side, then down beside the couch.

" Holy bloody hell! My doughnuts!"

I jumped off the couch and kneeled beside the scattered box of rings. Life isn't fair! Picking up the doughnuts, I disposed of them in the bin, mourning their loss in my head. I looked to the clock above the fire, " 5 o'clock" I said mostly to myself. Stretching one last time before heading for the door. Sasuke probably got the message that I wanted to be alone.

The place was very quiet when I walked down the halls, thank god. I couldn't deal with Ino or the guests for that matter. Only Tenten knows what happened, and it's going to stay that way. That reminds me...

" Tenten, come out, come out, wherever you are." I whispered with a smirk on my face, I wasn't going to let her off that easily. Passing closed doors and decorated walls, I made my way to Tenten's room. Tenten crying is something that you don't see everyday, she's tough. And like always, shrugs off her own problems for the sake of others. But she is going to tell me what's wrong or things are going to get bloody. And I mean in a Freddy Krueger like way.

When I arrived at Tenten's room, it was empty. Neither Neji or Tenten was there, strange. Maybe Neji had helped Sasuke get rid of the people and was still down stairs. Yeah, I'll just look for Tenten. First, I checked all of the rooms I passed and in the bathrooms but she wasn't there either. Walking up and down stairways, I'd probably lost a stone. Holding onto the banister, urging my foot to take that one last step, my breath was completely gone. No oxygen, so this is what space feels like.

Right in front of me, straight down the hall, was shiny door, a very shiny door. Ignoring the protest of my legs, I headed towards the polished door. It looked suspicious, you know that way in movies. There's a door straight infront of the hot girl and she slowly creeps toward it, then some maniac with a machete bursts through the door and hunts her down. Yeah, this is what this door felt like, it was kind of eery. In my mind I could picture Karin bursting out of the door, but instead of running for my life I'd definitely charge straight for her. I guess I'd be the maniac in that story.

For some reason, I felt the need to keep quiet. So, plastering myself against the wall, I slid along until the door knob was in my reach. For all I knew, there could be two of the staff getting it on behind the piece of polished wood. It really was shiny.

THE PULSE IS NOT AT HER ABDOMEN, IT'S WHERE HER WOMB IS! I WILL SPREAD THIS OUT THROUGH THE STORY SO THAT YOU GET IT!

Glancing behind me, I turned the knob ever so slowly, careful not to make a sound. Luckily for me, the door didn't squeak when it opened, but I nearly fainted when I saw who was inside and what they were doing. I gotta try that move with Sasuke.

There, sitting on a desk was Tenten. And a pair of male slim hips were wedged in between her legs!

" Sakura!" Tenten squeaked, while trying to put her buns back in place. Well, I'd be embarrassed too if they caught me making out with Sasuke, so I don't blame her for looking like a tomato. I opened the door fully and casually leaned against the door frame, a sly smirk evident on my face. I got a low growl in greeting from Neji, who was obviously trying to stop himself from throwing my ass out the room. But if he did that then my Sasuke-kun wouldn't be to happy.

Tenten started to drabble some sort of nonsense while trying to push Neji away from her, but Neji wouldn't budge.

" It's about bloody time!" I cried with joy over Tenten's rambling. She instantly stopped and looked at me with a confused face. Aw, she looked so cute like that.

" What are you talking about?" Neji asked harshly, I saw the slight tightening of his muscles in his arms.

I rolled my eyes at his question.

" Neji, you have been pining for Tenten ever since we came to this place. You may be stoic on the outside, but the fact is that Sasuke is the king when it comes to scary silence and annoying 'hn's. Compared to Sasuke, I can read you like a book."

Neji looked taken aback at my statement, but it was true. I can tell what kind of smirk Sasuke has for different things. The naughty one, the full-of-himself one, the powerful one, the happy one-

" Sakura, don't go spreading what you saw, please. We just want to go slow with this." Tenten said to me with worry in her eyes. Who could resist those little puppy eyes?

I waved my hand dismissively, " Okay, I wont say anything. But, I tags the maid of honour spot or who knows what this mouth will spill."

I closed the door and walked back down the hall with my hands behind my head. It was just a matter of time with those two, nearly everyone knew that Neji was completely lost for Tenten, everyone but Tenten noticed that. I guess he actually poured his feelings out for her. Now, that takes guts for a man to do. But then I came to the stairs again. NO! I can't take another step, even if it's going down. I sighed and wanted to scream with frustration, my legs couldn't take this suffering. Deciding to cope with the agony, I placed my hand on the railing, then the most brilliant idea occurred to me.

Staircase plus sturdy banister equals slide. Well, it's there anyway. I jumped on the banister and slid down, laughing my head off on the way.

With Neji and Tenten.

" Neji, what's wrong?"

Neji couldn't explain what he'd just seen. It was small, even for his fantastic eye site.

" There was something with Sakura-san, it-it's alive, inside of her." Neji stutered on the words but Tenten caught every single one of them. Her hand covered her mouth in shock, Sakura had taken three tests, and all were negative. How could she be pregnant? And how would she tell her?

THE PULSE IS NOT AT HER ABDOMEN, IT'S WHERE HER WOMB IS! I WILL SPREAD THIS OUT THROUGH THE STORY SO THAT YOU GET IT!

So has the message got to your heads? good!

OHHHHHH! Tension! Well, everything will be explained in next chapter ^_^

AND if you could give me some ideas, that'll be brilliant. I've got the next few chaters set out but I'm not sure about after that. I'm aiming for this story to be 24 chapters like the last one. If your not sure about your idea IT DOESN'T MATTER! I will consider any and every idea. PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP, or face the ultimate wrath of my reindeer pyjama's. They will eat you and drink your blood while their red noses glow.
