.Chapter 9.
Sasuke heard sighed. Sakura was now sleeping at his house, and she had went home to get some of her stuff, and to take a shower to bring to his house to spend a few days away from her parents. She was already pregnant, so it's not as if they would do anything together, even if they were given the chance. Sasuke groaned slightly. He was tired. He just wanted Sakura to come back so he could sleep. He walked downstairs and then looked at the door. They had eaten lunch, but they didn't eat dinner yet, so he grabbed the phone and ordered something. He knew what Sakura liked, so he ordered up some Chinese food, knowing that she should be eating more and then laid down on the couch.
He closed his eyes, and tried to stay awake, waiting for SAkura to come back. He drifted off into his subconscious and he heard a moan, a bit intrigued, he continued to doze off as he heard Sakura cry out his name in a slur.
Have you ever heard about when you remember things when your half asleep? Sasuke had read about it online once, and he knew that he was probably remembering something that happened a while back; like that night a few months ago?
He kept his eyes closed and continued to drift off, trying to get to the bottom of what had happened between himself and Sakura.

"What are we going to do about money...?" She asked, suddenly. She knew babies costed a lot.
Sasuke laughed. "Sakura..." he said, "I'm from the richest clan in Konoha, I inherited everything that was left of the Uchiha fortune, I think we need to worry about being 16 when the baby comes." he said, smirking at her.
Sakura smiled. "I had forgotten about that..." She said, sighing. "I think I need to quit my job at the hospital."
"You don't have to quit, just go on maturity leave. You're the Hokage's apprentice, you can't just up and quit, they need you and you know it."
Sakura's smile widened. "I love how you seem to know everything about me."
"I do know everything about you." He told her in a cocky tone.
"And I know a lot about you." She remarked in a cockier tone.
"Yeah you do." Sasuke said going back t eating, starting to think. "I need to think." he said, finishing his food and walking upstairs, and then going to bed.
"When you're done come to my room!" He called down to her.
Sakura finished eating and then walked upstairs with him and laid down closing her eyes.

Ino leaned against the wall of the village. There was a note on her locker to meet someone at the village gates in the hospital when she had finished her shift, telling her to come to this place at midnight. She was here, where the hell were they. They had ten minutes before she was leaving.
"Are you alone, un?" Came a dark voice form behind her, wrapped in a dark cloak.
"Do you see anyone else?" Ino asked turning to face him. "Yes I'm alone."
"I need your help, hm."
"And what do I get out of it?" Ino questioned, arching a thin blonde brow.
"You get me Haruno Sakura, and I will get you Uchiha Sasuke, un." he said, Sasuke's name rolling off his tongue as if it was vomit.

Sakura woke up the next morning feeling quite refreshed. She smiled and looked down at Sasuke and smiled at him. She kissed his forehead and then rested her head on his chest and just laid there with him. She waited for about ten minutes in silence before silently sliding out of the bed and going into the bathroom that was connected to their new room. It was really dusty in there, but Sakura figured she could have Sasuke help her clean the whole house later, seeing as it was pretty obvious that he didn't know how.
She could fix that easily. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Sakura laughed at the thought as she went into the bathroom and leaned over the toilet , feeling sick suddenly. She started to cough and then vomited into the toilet, not much to throw up, just some water she had gotten during the night and some flem. She coughed and continue to try to throw up even though she had nothing in her stomach.
Stupid pregnancy! She thought, cursing herself, but then was startled when something ran it's hands through her hair and pulled it out of her face.
"Morning sickness?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah..." Sakura said, smiling at him. "Sasuke... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you, and–"
"Forget it." Sasuke said, stopping her and then kissing her cheek. "Clean up ok?" He asked, standing up now that she had stopped throwing up.
Sakura looked over at him. He seemed... different today. Like he was mad about something? She flushed the toilet, and wiped up, throwing the napkins in the trash and then walked over to him.
"Sasuke? What's wrong?" She asked, washing her hands in the kitchen sink and started to gather everything to make a western omelette. She looked over at him as he picked up a tomato and took a bite out of it.
"Nothing's wrong..." He said rather coldly. "I'm just not in a good mood today Is all..." He said, walking passed her. He loved her, but confiding in her wasn't something he really wanted to do. He wasn't ready to talk about his problems yet. He was only 15, a kid was on the way, and now he had to take care of Sakura too? It all just came so fast that he.. He didn't know what to do. Not to mention the day it was.
Sakura sighed and kept cooking, watching him as he turned on the television and started to watch it absent mindedly, not really even paying attention to it. She sighed and kept cooking. What was wrong with him? She wondered as the chopped up the onions and peppers. She stopped paying attention to her actions and got lost in her thoughts. She cut more food and then cried out in pain.
"What happened!?" Sasuke asked running into the room, his sword drawn.
Sakura placed her right index finger into her mouth and started to suck on it. "Nothing, I just cut myself..." She said, smiling at him as the red liquid started to drip down her lips.
"Stop that!" He yelled. "You're doing it on purpose! But a bandage on it and just leave me alone!" He half screamed walking from the room, putting his sword away.
Sakura stared after him. She ran after him and grabbed his arm. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" She demanded, pulling him over to her.
"You're never like this, Sasuke talk to me, what's wrong with you?" She asked, pulling him into a hug.
"Please..." She begged, closing her eyes. "I love you, talk to me..."
Sasuke looked down at her and then shook his head. One arm wrapped around her and held her close. He didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell her. What could he tell her? Certainly not the truth.
"It's nothing." He told her, shaking his head, his raven locks falling all over his face and eyes.
"Don't lie to me Uchiha!" She said, looking up at him and seeing an emotion cross his face. Wait... An emotion? Love?! Happiness?!
No.. This one was quite different from any emotion she had ever seen him express. It was... pain...
"Sasuke?" She asked, stroking his face. "What's wrong?" She asked, running her hand over his cheek and then over to the back of his neck and holding it in place as their foreheads rested against one another.

.Flashback.
It was dark in the Uchiha town. Too dark... It wasn't time to sleep yet, that much he knew for sure. He entered the house and then walked into the den and looked around. Nothing.. No one was there.
Seven year old Uchiha Sasuke heard a noise when he entered that den area and he ran down the hall towards the sound, trying to find the location of it. He stopped suddenly, not being able to move as he got to the door of his parent's room.
His eyes widened and he suddenly felt quite fearful. "Someone's in there..." he said to himself, blinking once or twice. His legs began to shake and his entire body went numb. He felt his heart drop into his stomach and begin to churn with it, as they started to push one another around. His eyes burned. Where were his parents?
His mouth was wide open as he panted. He was so afraid, a single bead of sweat rolled down his cheek and dripped onto the floor. He closed his eyes tightly and tried to force his fragile and small unmoving body to go forward.
"Move!" He thought to himself loudly. "Move! Move!" He put his hands onto the handle of the door and then slowly it eerily creaked open.
"Mother, Father!" He said, as he entered the room, the doors closing behind him the same way they had opened, as if to trap him in the room.
His eyes grew wide as the bodies of his mother and father came into view. They were right at his feet, his father laying almost directly on top of his mother, blood all around them. From the shadows foot steps sounded and slowly a man walked forward, a sword on his back, dressed in full ANBU clothing, his face tilted off to the side. His face suddenly looked forward and the pale blue moon light reflected off his face as Sasuke backed away out of fear.
Red eyes shown through, revealing the second stage of Sharingan. A konoha headband shining brightly on his forehead.
"Nii-san!" Small Sasuke yelled to the man before him, confused and unaware of what had just happened. He was too young to comprehend death.
He thought his brother could fix what had just happened to their parents. "Brother... Mother and father are..." Sasuke began to shake his head, his heart rising from his stomach; giving him more courage.
"Why?" He asked, on the verge of tears. "How!?" He questioned, knowing the strength of his father and mother.
"Who did this to-!" He was cut off as a shuriken flew passed him and landed in the door not too far behind him. Sasuke's eyes grew wider as blood splurged from his arm and he bent down sideways to stop the blood from coming out. He hadn't even seen him throw it; he was so fast...
"Brother, what are-?"
Sasuke stared at Itachi with the upmost fear. What was going on!? What had happened to their parents, why wasn't Itachi scared and more importantly, who had just thrown that shuriken at him?
"What are you doing, brother?"
Itachi finally spoke. "Foolish little brother..."
.End Flashback.

Sasuke has never forgotten that day. He remembered it; it was the whole source of his life, of his reason for living. To kill the man who destroyed everyone he knew and loved. His family. His former family.
Sasuke looked at the calendar. There was a red slash through this day, marking the nine year anniversary of the day the Uchiha clan had been destroyed. Sasuke hated his day. He woke up and it was bad, he hated it more than anything, it was always the worst day of his life, the day that changed him. It was the only day he would skip training and put off all of his responsibilities, just because of his anger and hatred that he had not yet done. He had not yet killed his brother. He had not gotten his revenge for what had happened so many years before. He didn't want Mangekyo Sharingan, not at the price it would cost it; his best friend, Naruto.

Ino had been knocked out after the man told her what he wanted. She woke up in her bed, wondering if ti was just a dream. She sat up and a clay rose, painted green and red fell off her lap, a note tied around her. Her eyes grew wide. She pulled the note off and started to read it. It had the same habit as when the man had spoken to her.
Ino,
I need your help, hn. I need you to help me get Sakura. I don't want her for pleasure. I want her for another more important reason, un. You have no reason to trust me and I know this, un. However, I will help you gain something you want more than your own life, you're wonderful Sasuke. I don't know what you see in him, but whatever, un. Should you except this offer and I have a feeling you will; place this note on top of your roof before midnight writing me a response, un.
-Someone just trying to help.
Ino closed the note. She was confused. Who was this guy exactly?Why did he want to help her? She wanted to meet him, talk to him before she agreed. She sighed and then got up. It was still morning. She smiled and then heard her phone ring. She leaned over the bed and then picked up her baby blue cell phone.
"Hello?" She asked, smiling slightly. "Sasuke-kun!" She said happily. "Hey! What's up...?" She asked.
"Oh.." She said, her face falling as she heard Sasuke's response of, "Not much."
"Can you do me a favor?" Sasuke asked her through the phone.
Ino's face blushed and she nodded, despite the fact he couldn't hear her. "Yes Sasuke-kun! I'll do anything for you!" She said triumphantly, forgetting about what had happened between him and Sakura.
"I need you to take Sakura out for a while... I need time to clear my head and think things over for a while."
Ino sighed but nodded. They were best friends, they had reconnected once Sasuke had left, and she didn't want to ruin it now that he was back and all. She smiled and then looked up at the ceiling and then out her window at the beautiful sunny day.
"Ok Sasuke, I'll take her out for the day." She told him smiling slightly.
Sasuke smiled. "Thanks Ino, I owe you one. Come get her for me?"
"Right." Ino said, smirking. "Where though? Her house right?"
"No." Sasuke responded. "Mine." And with that he hung up.
Ino's mouth dropped as she remembered what she had heard and what she had earlier figured out. But Sakura wasn't like that! She was the married before sex type, and Ino knew it. She was really conservative and shy-like. She'd never be able to get it on with Sasuke. She was too babyish.
She smiled suddenly and walked off. Sasuke was probably just sick of her and Temari was just being a witch, right? She got dressed and walked off, forgetting all about the note and the flower and leaving it on her bed absentmindedly.
Ino walked over towards Sasuke's house which was a ways from her own. She was in a really good mood now. Sasuke wanted her! She saw someone walk out of her flower shop and get in her way. It was Chouji.
"Good morning Chouji." She said, smiling at him.
"Hey Ino." he said, taking her arm. For once he didn't have a snack in his hand. "Where are you going?" He asked.
"To see Sasuke. He wants me to take out Sakura for a while. Why?" She asked, raising a delicate blonde brow
"You should stay away from Sasuke..." CHouji warned her.
"What? Why? Chouji are you ok?" She asked, putting her hand on his forehead. "Well you don't have a fever."
Chouji blushed when she leaned towards him. "I-Ino... I shouldn't be telling you this, but Shikamaru told me this morning." he said, leaning towards her, and putting his face close to her ear. She smelled so good; just like a sweet wisteria perfume.
"Sasuke got Sakura pregnant."
Ino fainted. Sure, she knew that, but... She wasn't expecting it.
Chouji's eyes widened and then he caught her and looked around. Surely no one saw that right? He sighed and brought her inside and started to fan her and then found water and wet her face.

Sasuke went into the kitchen. He and Sakura had already eaten the breakfast and she was cooking. He had borrowed her cell phone to call Ino.
"Sakura. I just called Ino. I want you to go out with her and give me some time to myself." He said, smiling at her. "I just need some time to think things over ok? I love you, I'm just not having a good day."
He didn't tell her what was bothering him, but she nodded all the same. "I'll go. On one condition." She said, smiling at him.
"Promise me you'll tell me what's wrong with you tonight when I come home?" Home... with Sasuke. That felt so good to say.
Sasuke sighed. "I promise." he said, kissing her cheek.
Sakura walked to the door. "I'll go meet Ino half way, did you-?"
"Yes I told her you were here." He said, as if he had read her mind.
Sakura smiled. "Bye Sasuke." She said, taking off.
Sasuke laid own and then got up a few minutes later walked to the door. He pulled on his shoes and then walked off to the jewelry store. There was something he needed to do; and he had to do it right.
