A/N: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters!

Ino blinked. "Uchiha heir…Sakura is carrying?" she looked at Sakura whose eyes were wide.

"I'm what?" Sakura questioned, not believing a word that was just said.

Saria faked a gasp. "You mean you didn't know…oh that's too bad," she chuckled. "You all heard me correct, your friend Sakura is carrying the next Uchiha heir."

Ino scowled. "Is this some kind of sick joke?" She looked at Saria and Aricin. "What the hell are you talking about! Sasuke and Sakura aren't even dating, it's not possible!"

"Are you sure? While going through Sakura's memories we found all we needed, and her memories don't lie. They're all true, why don't you ask the great Uchiha himself about his relationship with this girl," Aricin suggested.

Ino turned to Sasuke. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"He didn't know Sakura was carrying their child, she hadn't told him yet and she didn't bother telling anyone about her boyfriend," Saria informed. "Don't you think if Sasuke-kun knew you would have been here faster and that she would probably would have never left Konoha?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke. "So you were dating?" he asked.

(Flashback)

He looked at her with his stone black eyes. "I know," he replied.

She took a step closer to him grabbing onto his shirt. "You don't know how much!" Tears started to form in her beautiful eyes. "I'd die if I were to lose you again…Sasuke-kun, you're my reason for living." She buried her face in his chest. "Please don't leave."

Sasuke was confused and shocked by her outburst. Where did she get the idea he was going to leave again? "Sakura…"

"Don't leave me…I don't know what'd I do…I wouldn't be able to make it through. I know how you hate public displays and sentimental crap and I try my best to hide it and to contain myself, I try. I haven't told anybody…and I won't if you don't want me to, I just don't want you to go," she pleaded crying.

Sasuke's hand found its way to her back. She was acting up over nothing, who told her he was going to leave Konoha again? He just got finished with probation; it wasn't like that was the next thing on his mind.

She started to relax a bit. "Sasuke-kun…I can't stop loving you…and I never will…no matter what," she looked at him. "The world would end before that could happen."

He didn't look down at her; he didn't want to end up staring in her eyes, especially since she was crying because of him.

"Sasuke-kun?"

He looked down at her this time. "Hm?"

"Something weird is going on, I think my parents know," she whispered.

"So?" He wasn't sure where she was getting at with this.

"If they know…they can ground me…I'm still under their control for at least another month…what if they don't want me seeing you, or if they shut me out of their lives? They won't do that right? Cause I want to be with you," she proclaimed. She slipped her fingers through his as she took hold of his hand. "I don't like lying."

He listened closely as she spoke; he wanted to know where she was getting at telling him all of this.

She smiled as she looked at their hands. "But I'll continue if you want…I know our friends won't care…but my parents somehow might find out…and I don't want them knowing yet, just a little longer."

He nodded as she kept on talking.

Her eyes started to droop. "I'm not feeling well," she stated.

"I wonder why, you're out in the cold," he stated dryly. She smiled and looked up at him. He noticed her eyes weren't as bright and her skin didn't have its normal glow. She looked ill.

She kissed his cheek, a very feather like kiss. "I've always been out here this time of night…just to watch you," she informed. Their linked hands were at her side. "You're a fantastic ninja Sasuke-kun, they'd be proud."

Sasuke sat his head atop of hers. "Sakura…you should head back in."

"No," she shook her head looking at the ground. "I want to be with you."

He looked down at her, lifting up her chin making her look him in the eyes. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"What if you don't?" she asked. "You won't leave right?"

Sasuke sat his palm on her forehead checking for a fever. Where was she getting these crazy ideas? She was a little warm.

She smiled weakly. "This is where you left last time," she stated. She looked at him. "But you won't leave me here huh?" She was starting to sway back and forwards. She went limp lying against his chest. "I feel dizzy Sasuke-kun."

He rolled his eyes and picked her up 'bridal style'. He knew she was having a girls' night out at TenTen's, so he just had to slip in and out of there.

"Sasuke-kun?"

He looked down at the woman in his arms. Her eyes were half-open and half-close. She smiled up at him.

"Thanks for letting me love you." After that she fell asleep in his arms. He walked all the way to TenTen's and snuck in. He placed Sakura under her sleeping bag next to Hinata's. He moved the wet hair from her forehead and left through the window, shutting it as he exited.

(End)

Sasuke kept his eyes on the Sound Nins. "Aa," he answered Naruto's question.

"How long?" Ino asked, she couldn't believe that she didn't know.

Sasuke looked at her. "Do I look like someone who counts the days?" He looked back. "Awhile…I guess."

"Awhile doesn't answer my question! Why did you hide it!" Ino barked, she knew she was overreacting she just wanted to know why they kept it secret.

Sasuke shrugged.

"Sakura didn't want her parents to find out, didn't you say they would be disappointed if they even thought she was?" Shikamaru asked.

"You're right," Ino mumbled under her breath.

Sakura started laughing. "You're all crazy," she tried hiding the tears.

Ino shook her head. "Sakura…we're so sorry."

Sakura stopped and blinked. "For what?"

"Not stopping them before they brought you here and made you forget, you must be confused," Ino stated.

Sakura crossed her arms. "Damn right I'm confused. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about and I don't know any of you, how could I not be?"

Saria yawned. "This is boring Aricin, can we kill them already?"

Aricin nodded. "Do as you wish…or may I go first?" he looked at Saria.

Saria smirked. "Go ahead," she implied.

Sakura's eyes widened. "Nani?" She might not know them, but she didn't want people fighting…and because of her. Saria picked her up and Sakura screamed. "Let me go!" she tried pulling away.

"Can't take the risk," Saria muttered to herself.

Sasuke gritted his teeth as he watched the two Sound Ninjas and his stomach twisted when he looked over at Aricin.

Aricin smirked and looked at Sakura. "Don't worry Sakura, this will all be over soon." He bent down and touched her cheek. "Then we'll just take you somewhere nicer and then you can meet Orochimaru-sama."

"I don't think I want to meet him," Sakura growled slapping his hand away.

Sasuke glared at Aricin for touching Sakura. "Are we going to fight or not?"

Aricin stood back. "Keep a good eye on her, Saria," he said in an ordering matter. He turned around and looked at Sasuke.

Aricin charged disappearing. Sasuke looked around and caught his fist in his own palm, then the two of them vanished, disappearing and reappearing on and off.

Ino growled as she watched. "He is such a show-off."

"Get him Sasuke-teme!" Naruto shouted. He looked at Saria. 'Dammit she still has hold on Sakura-chan!'

Saria smirked when she saw Naruto looking at her. "Just wait, Naruto-kun," she purred.

Sasuke and Aricin reappeared with Sasuke facing his back toward his opponent while twisting his wrist. "There's a possibility that it might not even have Sharingan," the Uchiha informed.

Aricin frowned. "Might not?"

"Aricin don't mind him…it is true, but we can still use his own," Saria stated smirking.

"So don't kill Uchiha Sasuke?" Aricin questioned.

"Hai," Saria replied.

Aricin sighed disappointedly. "I really wanted to kill him…too bad."

"Why are we just standing here?" TenTen asked getting ticked off how they just stood at there.

Shikamaru looked at her. "You don't expect us to fight."

"Actually I do," TenTen informed.

"Crazy talk," Chouji hissed crossing his arms over his chest.

"Get your ass moving and do something!" Ino bellowed bopping her teammates on the head.

Shikamaru flinched. "No need to yell."

Neji watched Sasuke and Aricin moved from side to side as they fought.

"Who do you think is going to win?" TenTen asked concerned, she didn't need anymore bad news.

Neji kept his eyes on the battle. "It seems like Sasuke will."

TenTen smirked. "That's good news."

Saria chuckled. "Even if he defeats Aricin, there is no way he can defeat me and if by any chance he does, you won't win." She smirked wickedly. "Better just head home now."

Lee looked over at his female friend who was being held by the Sound Nin, tears in her eyes. 'Sakura-san, I promised I would protect you…and that's exactly what I'm going to do.'

"Please stop," the pink-haired kunoichi begged.

The two of them reappeared and Aricin went flying in the direction to the house. Konoha's ninjas jumped out of the way as he collided to the ground where they were once standing.

Hinata grabbed onto Naruto's arm. "N-Naruto-kun."

The blonde kept his eyes on Sasuke but placed an arm around Hinata, protectively, not knowing. "Kill that bastard."

Hinata blushed deep red, but it disappeared and started to get into the fight again.

Lee balled his fists as he charged toward the redheaded woman carrying his friend. "Sakura-san!" He punched Saria's face.

TenTen's eyes widened. "LEE YOU IDIOT!"

"Baka," Neji mumbled.

"FUZZY EYEBROWS ARE YOU CRAZY!" Naruto shouted grabbing his wounded hand with his other.

Sasuke and Aricin stopped dead in their tracks and looked over at the boy with the thick eyebrows.

Saria glared at the boy who had his fist on her face. "What do you think you are doing?" she asked a smirk crossing her features.

Lee's eyes widened. 'Not even a scratch!'

Sakura looked wide eyed as she looked at this mysterious young man in front of her. She blinked and her eyes widened in fear as well as shock when out of nowhere Lee went flying back to where he was before.

Saria smirked as she pulled her hand back in. "Foolish."

Lee's body rolled then he stood up with his arms out in front of him. He took in a breath. 'Damn.'

Sasuke looked at Saria then back at Aricin. Aricin had a sick smirk on his face. Sasuke did the appropriate hand seals. "Katon Housenka!" he shouted as fireballs left his mouth.

Aricin put his hands out in front of him. "It won't work!" Taking the flames.

"Chidori!" Sasuke shouted as he appeared in behind Aricin shoving the blue ball of Chakura into his opponent's back. He disappeared and reappeared in front of the Sound Nin kicking him in the face pulling out a kunai and throwing it at him as the older male flew.

Saria stared with an impressive look in her eyes. 'That's it.'

Aricin wiped the blood from his face and pulled out the kunai that was in his chest. "Damn."

Saria smirked and pulled out three kunai with one hand. Sakura watched her closely. "What are you going to do?" the girl asked.

Saria smiled at her. "Getting rid of him."

Sasuke appeared behind Aricin again. Sakura's eyes widened. "You can't…what did he do to you?" Sakura asked.

Saria released the kunais in her hands throwing them at a fast speed. "Hey move out of the way!" Sakura screamed, not knowing what those kunai would do. Her eyes widened she hoped the raven-haired teen would move and move soon. "Please move!" Tears formed in her eyes, why did they have to fight? Couldn't they just let her go?

That's how I end this chapter, wow ten chapters already, I feel really good.
