My Little Sunshine
okay, so i keep leaving you with a cliff hanger...but it is freakin funny just imagining people screeming at the screen in fustration. i'll try not to leave it on a cliff hanger but i cant promise anything. * wink wink * Thankyou for all of your reviews and remember, IDEAS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME, DOESN'T MATTER HOW TWAT-LIKE THEY ARE. I consider all of them.
to stories7878- of course you can use it. i dont mind :)
Okay, sliding down the banister might have been kind of a bad idea. I was at the landing of the wide staircase rubbing my red stomach. When I was sliding down, my shirt had risen up and my poor tummy got the waxing of its life. Now the long walk back to...Sasuke. Ugh, even the thought makes me want to die.
" Sakura, how dare you run from me. I demand to know why you were crying." I said aloud. My imitation of Sasuke was spot on in my opinion. I wasn't really surprised at seeing Neji and Tenten, sure I was a bit taken aback by their position, but everyone was just anxiously waiting for it. Ino had wanted to take matters into her own hands but I dampened her plans down by telling Shikamaru that Ino was flirting with other men. Ino had been practically dragged away by Shikamaru all the while glaring daggers at me. Description of what happened-friggin' hilarious. It was a nasty thing to do but if I didn't then she would've caused hell for Neji and Tenten. She would have planted condoms in their bedroom or the classic one, push one into the other while making sure they liplocked. Both of them falling to the floor but then the man gaining balance and fiercely embracing the woman with fire in their hearts.
That would not have gone down well, that seen might be suited for Shikamaru and Ino, but not for Neji and Tenten. So I did what must be done and I hadn't seen Ino for a week after that. When I did catch up to her, she said I was her good luck charm. Well, vampire and the term 'jealous' do not make a good match.
The bedroom was around the corner.
" Goddess of protection...save my ass for being burned to a crisp."
I opened one of the doors, as soon as my foot was inside the room, Sasuke's hands had grabbed my hips. I let out a squeak and fought his hold, but Sasuke didn't stop his stride to the king-sized bed. I let out an exasperated sigh in defeat and stopped struggling. Sasuke placed-scratch that-threw me on the bed and caged me in with his muscled arms.
" Explain." He said in that ruff voice, his dark brows were in a frown. I was deluded to think he'd actually forget it. I bit my lip and chose my words carefully.
" I am going through a serious moodswing stage that-"
" Sakura!" He said sharply, it made me wince.
I considered telling him, but then he'd blame himself as always. He knew I was okay with a baby, but Sasuke wouldn't understand what it felt like when being so sure about something and then your hopes plummeting to hell. I mean, if I just happened to be a man disguised as a woman or something, then maybe he'd understand a bit. But he'd never know how my heart shattered like a mirror.
After looking into Sasuke's pained eyes, I made up my mind. I knew it hurt Sasuke for me to keep stuff from him.
" I was so sure on something...but it turned out I was wrong..." I couldn't finish because tears escaped from my eyes and fell softly onto the silk bedding. Sasuke wiped my tears from my face, his face full of desperation to do something, anything to make me feel better.
" Sakura, please tell me." He pleaded, placing a kiss on my forehead.
" I thought I was-"
" Where is my shining daughter-in-law! A sing-songy voice echoed outside the bedroom.
Sasuke and I silently stared at each other, his face mere inches from mine. He closed his eyes as if tired gave me an apologetic look before climbing off the bed and headed to the door. The loss of his body heat made me shiver.
" There's my sunshine!" A voice sang happily at the door. I couldn't help but smile at Mikoto and her never-ending enthusiasm. I jumped from the bed and stood up, Mikoto didn't even wait for me to gain my balance before she tackled me in a hug.
" Mom!" Sasuke called form down the hall, " don't barge in like that. Sakura's not in the mood-"
" Boy, don't use that tone with me, because you wont like the outcome." Mikoto said warningly to Sasuke. Even if it was his mother, Sasuke couldn't stand other people touching me let alone embracing me. Possessive male.
But Mikoto turned her attention back to me, her happy phase had evaporated into a wondrous and curious gaze. She frowned and looked down, at my feet? No, she was gazing at...my stomach. Just then it pulsed.
Mikoto's hand flew to her mouth and...where those tears?
" Oh, you are possibly the most exquisite female ever to be welcomed to our family."
" Whaa?" I was dumbstruck, what the hell was the notorious woman talking about?
She looked back up at my face, then her face went back to wonder and curiosity.
" Mom? Sakura's not in the mood-"
" Shut up, Sasuke." Mikoto and I snapped in unison.
Thudding footsteps were coming down the hall, toward our bedroom.
It was Tenten, red faced but she was already talking.
" Sakura! Neji sensed something and the tests might have been wrong-"
" God damnit, all of you! My female isn't in the mood for all of your ranting...What test?" Sasuke looked to Tenten for an answer which Sakura hoped she wouldn't give.
" Sasuke, get out." Mikoto's stern voice broke the silence.
Sasuke looked bewildered to say the least. " But Sakura-"
" Sakura is in a crucial state that you could worsen. Begone before I call for your father."
I looked at all three of them like they'd gone crazy. Sasuke looked mad beyond comprehension.
" If Sakura's in a 'crucial state' then as her mate how could I make it worse?" Sasuke bellowed, it echoed throughout the halls.
Mikoto opened her mouth to speak but stopped when Sasuke started to change. Sasuke's skin started to darken and his hair became lighter till it was a navy blue. His size increased a few inches and his enlarged muscles flexed under the thin black t-shirt he wore. He bared his now lengthened fangs at Mikoto, Tenten backed towards the wall away from him. Mikoto wasn't having any of it, she hissed at him, a warning that she was deadly serious. But so was Sasuke.
I jumped in front of Mikoto and ran for Sasuke, his eyes on me intently until I reached him. He grasped my hips and pulled me to him and growled low in his throat. He'd turned his gaze back to Mikoto but I grabbed the sides of his face and forced him to look down at me.
" Sasuke, Sasuke! Look at me, Mikoto's just going to talk with me. Nothing's wrong, it's just a little talk." I sounded almost hysterical trying to calm him down. I knew it didn't matter if it was his mother, he'd rip her throat out in this state for just looking at me. I caressed his temples and the tension disappeared. Slowly, his eyes never leaving mine, his form started to normalize.
He buried his face in the crook of my neck, I clasped my arms around his neck. Like a little hearbeat, the pulse came back. Sasuke pulled back and then frowned, he was looking at my stomach too.
Oh no, don't figure it out. Please!
After a moment he shook his head and looked past my shoulder at Mikoto.
" Five minutes, no more." Sasuke said in that rugged voice I loved so much, it was so commanding. He squeezed my hips once more before disappearing with that inhuman speed. After staring at the space he was once in for a couple of seconds, I turned around to face the two women.
Mikoto was seething, literally. Her fangs were still bared and she looked ready to kill. Tenten was wide eyed staring at Mikoto and didn't know if she should stay where she was or get closer to me. But she held back from going to me, maybe because she was afraid Sasuke would come back. My palms were sweaty and I was breathing quickly. I'd never seen Sasuke react like that before, it was actually scary. Also kinda sexy, I mean, I could feel those muscles bulging under that t-shirt.
" Sakura, are you okay?" Tenten asked hesitantly, staying where she was. Sasuke wouldn't dare hurt Tenten, partly because Neji would go psycho and when Neji got tired, I'd stand in.
I nodded at Tenten's answer the same time Mikoto appeared before me and grabbed me in a tight hug.
" That stupid son of mine," She mumbled, " he could've done anything to both of you in that form."
" He wouldn't have hurt Tenten, Mikoto. He knows he'll anger some people, mainly Neji and me." I said reassuringly, not only to Mikoto but to myself as well. When Sasuke's in that form, he's unpredictable. Not that he's predictable when he's normal.
Mikoto stepped back and held me at arms length, a smile slowly appeared on her face.
" I'm not talking about you and Tenten, honey." She said calmly.
I looked into her eyes and she was deadly serious, my breathing became rapid and I started squirming.
" But, but! I can't be, the tests were negative! Weren't they Tenten, you saw them!" I was really losing control, I know I wanted one but-
" Sakura, it's okay. Normal tests don't work for the immortal, but sweety, I thought you'd be happy."
I was! But I'm losing my mind at the same time! The pulse started again and it seemed like it was scared, that just made me worse.
" Sakura, do you want to sit down on the bed?" Tenten asked, after my nod both women helped me to the bed. Tenten left to go get my doughnuts and a drink for Mikoto.
I lay on the bed with Mikoto holding my hand and rubbing her thumb gently over it. I was in shock, because I'd believed that I couldn't possibly be pregnant then finding out that I was, it's quite a blow to take. I calmed down enough that my breathing was back to normal and the pulse continued. It slowed to a steady beat that was soothing.
Mikoto placed her hand where the pulse was and smiled excitedly. I was too tired to return the smile, my body felt numb.
" I'm going to be a grandmother!" Mikoto exclaimed, her smile almost lighting up the room.
" Mikoto, you can't tell Sasuke!" I shouted, sitting up sharply on the bed. Mikoto's smile vanished.
" Why ever not?" She asked curiously.
" He wont let me move on my own if he found out! You saw him back there, and he doesn't even know I'm pregnant...wait, how did you know and Sasuke didn't?"
Mikoto smiled micheviously. "Sakura, you might think Sasuke is very old, but in our world Sasuke is quite young."
My jaw dropped, how old was this woman?
" A woman never gives her age away, but I'm probably 1500, give or take.
Oh my god! Mikoto smiled at my reaction, I'd nearly fell off the bed. She giggled and petted my hair. I honestly couldn't believe Mikoto was that age, she looked in her thirties!
" You'll still have a few years to go before you stop aging completely, it's a certain age that you stop." Mikoto explained.
I was bewildered at Mikoto's age, but something else was gnawing at me.
" Mikoto, why did you only have two children if your 1500?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to know the answer.
" Some immortals find their mate's, Sakura. But I didn't. Although I fell in love with Sasuke's father, I was already going through the old hag stage of immortality. Although you'll possibly live forever, you have to stop having children some time. If you didn't then the world would collapse with the amount of immortal babies in it."
" So it's like menopause?" I asked, strangely intrigued with the information.
She nodded and continued, " I knew that you were pregnant when the little rascal in there didn't want me touching you. Just like it's father."
Tears started to bubble in my eyes.
" Because Sasuke's still young he wouldn't understand, although he could possibly feel or sense it. It wouldn't make sense but his instinct would take over, warning him that you have to be protected at all times."
I thought back to when I ran from the room and Sasuke caught me, the pulse had beat against his hand.
Mikoto nodded, obviously she knew what I'd been thinking of. " Sasuke wouldn't have gotten that mad when I told him to get out if his instinct wasn't demanding that you were with him. If you weren't pregnant, he might change a little, but he wouldn't dare show his fangs to me."
So Sasuke had already sensed the pulse and didn't understand what it meant. When he finds out...
" Don't worry, the girls and I will help you. But you will have to tell Sasuke soon, Sakura. I hate to burst this happy bubble you're in, but Sasuke could right now be pulling his hair because he knows something's there, just not what it is."
That really did burst my bubble. I don't want to be happy while Sasuke is practically suffering. I'd be a complete bitch to do that.
Tenten came back to the room with my doughnuts and green tea for Mikoto, I didn't know we had green tea. Tenten handed me the doughnuts and by reflex, I grabbed them with speed like a snake. Tenten didn't look surprised, but Mikoto's eyes widened a fraction. She obviously didn't know about my infatuation with doughnuts.
I didn't know when or how I was going to tell Sasuke. He'd either be happy and estatic or...happy, estatic and overly possessive. My bet was on the second option.
" Sasuke said five minutes, Sakura. When immortal males don't know if their female is in trouble or not they'll go all out to ensure you're with them all of the time. Especially if you're their mates." Mikoto explained, sipping her green tea like a queen.
I sighed and munched my doughnut, Tenten put her arm around my shoulder to comfort me.
" Sakura, it's been four minutes and forty-nine seconds. I'm sorry but Sasuke will order us out, we can't help you if he demands to know what's wrong with you. It'd be too dangerous for us to stay." Mikoto looked saddened that she had to leave me, so did Tenten.
The room door flung open and banged against the wall. If he keeps doing that then there'll be dents in the wall. Mikoto calmly got up, setting her tea down and motioning for Tenten to follow her. Tenten immediately obeyed, afraid that if she didn't Sasuke would get angry. Both women made their way to the door, Sasuke stepped to the side. Once the door was shut behind them, Sasuke strode toward me, running a hand through his dark hair. I set my doughnuts beside me and held my arms out to him, he climbed on the bed and rested his head on my chest.
I'll tell him, I'll tell him and get it over with. The pulse started again, as usual like a heart beat. But now I knew that it might be something living. Something that'd make our world complete. I felt Sasuke frown against my chest, the pulse was beating against his stomach but he didn't say anything. Breathing deeply, I stroked his hair. When I did this, I was begging him to be calm. I'd done this more times that I could count and it worked but I wasn't sure this time.
" Sasuke," I said, barely above a whisper, " when I talk, you will listen and do only that until I'm finished."
He nodded against me.
" I'm..."
SORRY! I left you on a cliff again. I really need to stop. Anyway, so Sakura's pregnant YAY! I really had fun righting about Sasuke going into possessive mode. ANY IDEAD ARE WELOCME SO PLEASE SEND ME ONE! I KNOW ALOT OF YOU READ MY STORY SO GIVE ME INSPIRATION! pretty please with a cherry on top.
Love and review.
