Tsuki-chan: Yes, I know it's late but I'm really sick. My head hurts like hell and I think I'm going to faint any second. If you want to know the site it's in the previous chapter, I tired sending it to some people but either it could get through or their email was invalid. Anyways, I don't own Naruto and enjoy the chapter…
MERRY CHRISTMAS
"Ehehehe, stop kidding around Sasuke-kun! Sorry everyone, Sasuke-kun's always joking around like that." Sakura stated nervously as she shot Sasuke with a look. He just returned it with a dark smirk, she laughed timidly as she looked at the floor.
"You're wrong Sakura. I found a will of your parents and found out that they arranged a marriage for us, I was sent here to inform you." He whispered in a threatening tone. She understood and remained silent" I-I see…"
"S-So…how did you find us?" Hikaru asked with a smile. Sasuke returned with a smile of his own" Chakra. I've known Sakura for so long that I've practically memorized her chakra waves. You see, we were teammates once." Mika frowned" Oh really?"
"Y-Yeah…we were…" Sakura whispered as she looked at the floor sadly. The Uchihas that she made friends with, Itachi, Hikaru, and the two chibis noticed but didn't say anything as she held Sasuke's hand after he released her waist.
Sakura sat under the tree quietly on Sasuke's lap as he held her waist possessively, a dark smirk on his face as he nuzzled into her hair. If it had been a few years ago Sakura would have screamed in happiness, finally winning the affection of The Uchiha Sasuke but now it only hurt.
It scared her, she wanted to run away. The hold he had around her made her whimper, the feel of his lips against her skin made her flinch, and his kisses made her want to scream.

Sasuke-kun! Want to go out with me?
Flash
Uwahhhh, Sasuke-kun is soooo hot!
Flash
I-It's okay Naruto…Sa-Sasuke-kun's right…I should concentrate on training more…
Flash
Arigato Sasuke-kun…for saving me…
Flash
Sasuke-kun, I'm begging you! Please stay, I'll kill for you!
Flash
How dare you…how dare you come back to Konoha after you betrayed it!
Sakura clenched her eyes shut as memories replayed like a broken video. Sasuke tightened his grip on Sakura's waist as he felt her tense against his body" What's wrong?" he murmured against her ear.
"N-Nothing…" she whispered as she opened her eyes and watched her new 'family' playing around them. They seemed so happy…for their sake she must keep quiet. He nipped her earlobe affectionately making her squirm; Sasuke seemed to enjoy that as he continued to attack her ear.
Breaking free of his hold she stood up trembling" I-I'm going for a walk." She whispered, Sasuke nodded" Alright then, I need to look for that bitch who sent us here anyways." He muttered as he whirled Sakura around. Staring into his dark almost black eyes he pulled her for a bruising kiss.
He seemed satisfied as she allowed him to do as he pleased, when he released her she was panting for air. With one more glance he disappeared into the trees. Trying to cover a sob Sakura turned and paced into the forest.
The calm wind and the rhythmic rustle of the trees calmed her erratic nerves as Sakura found a nice place to lie down on, in front of the lake. Staring at the sky she remembered Shikamaru and how the two would stare at the sky together.
A ramen shaped cloud flew by making Sakura miss Naruto, the flowers around her made her miss Ino and Hinata, and the calm lake made her yearn for Neji and how the two would chat in front of the lake similar as this. She squeaked when she felt a thump next to her, glancing at her right she saw Itachi sitting next to her.
"Uh…hi…" she whispered nervously as she focused on the clouds above her, she stiffened when she felt a hand on her head. She carefully glanced at Itachi and saw him staring at her with a blank expression as his hand carefully caressed her hair." Sakura…" he whispered.
She took a glimpse at him and saw him absentmindedly patting her as he looked at the lake." I-Itachi-kun." She was answered with a pause from his stroking, stating that she had his attention.
"Tell me Sakura…tell me that you're not his fiancée…" he whispered. Her eyes widened before they looked away at the floor with a bitter look" W-Well…I…uh…if what he says is true then yes…I must respect my parent's final wishes." She looked up at him and saw a site that shook her to the core.
Possessiveness and determination.
Not a very good combination if it was on someone like Itachi. She held back a squeak of surprise when suddenly he whirled on top of her, his hands holding him up as they laid next to her head. Their legs tangled together so she wouldn't use them to attack him, not that she would. Staring into his eyes she felt lost as their bodies began to dance.
"Uchiha Sasuke, we meet at last." Sasuke paused when he heard the cool impassive voice within the shadows. The person masked their chakra well seeing as though he couldn't sense anything that seemed to be the chakra of a human being, not even a small leak.
"Who are you?" Sasuke asked calmly." Why have you sent Sakura and me here?" he added after a pause of silence.
"My name is of no concern. Do not think, young Uchiha, just because you have copied the hand seals that the technique that you can get back to your time. That jutsu, Hinodi Kaibyaku (Sunrise Beginnings), is just to go back in time. The jutsu, Tsukikage Kaibyaku (Moonlight Beginnings), is used to go forward in time. Yin is nothing without the yang."
"Shut up, why don't you face me or are you too afraid that I'd hurt you?" the figure standing behind the tree frowned, apparently having so much power in Sound had gone to the boys head. Shaking her head mentally she sighed.
"No, young Uchiha, until Sakura has made her choice will I send you both into the future." The person whispered before walking away.
"Wait!" the figure paused before turning around, paring the kunai with a senbon.
Sasuke growled as he looked down at a cloak clothed figure, a kunai shot up towards his left hand as he twirled around and swiped the person where the head was. Just as he predicted, the figure ducked, but not fast enough.
His eyes widened when the figures cloak was ripped out revealing long midnight blue hair with silver streaks. What spellbound him the most were the eyes, the emerald green eyes that looked so familiar. He grunted as the person kicked him on the stomach, sending him flying into a tree.
"………My name is Kurai……until we meet again young Uchiha." She whispered as she started to walk away, her torn cloak swishing behind her. Behind her was a stunned Uchiha whose mind was filled with Sakura's mesmerizing eyes.
Sakura's eyes widened as she felt Sasuke's chakra not so far away, pumping chakra into her hands she pushed Itachi off. He looked at her in confusion as he sat next to her. She gave him a solemn smile and shook her head" …I'm sorry Itachi-kun…" she whispered as she stood up and ran into the forest, leaving Itachi alone and filled with hurt.
'I won't give up on you Sakura…I'll never…'
THIS BONUS IS DEDICATED TO MY DEAR FRIEND BLACKBELT-CHAN!
----------
(CHRISTMAS SPECIAL)
----------
"Merry Christmas!" Sasuke yelled. Itachi winced at how loud his brother's voice was but smiled anyways as Sasuke ran around in circles around him." It's Christmas, it's Christmas! You promised niisan, you said you'll take me to the park today!" Sasuke yelled.
The family was going to spend Christmas at night and since Itachi knew he'd be dismissed of missions during Christmas he had promised Sasuke he'd take him to the park, complying with his brother's whining." Aa, get ready and we'll go." Sasuke cheered and went full speed towards his room.
Itachi sweat dropped as Sasuke appeared faster than any shinobi alive, fully clothed and ready to go." Let's go!" he yelled dragging Itachi by the hand.
The park looked like a winter wonderland as many snot-nosed brats (in Itachi's opinion) ran around gleefully. The white snow blanketed the park" C'mon niisan, let's play!" Sasuke said energetically, Itachi was about to nod when they heard loud laughter and a small almost unnoticeable cry.
"What's going on?" Sasuke asked tilting his head. Ignoring Itachi (amazingly) Sasuke ran, or tried to thanks to the snow that came to his waist, towards the group filled with both girls and boys.
"Sa-Sasuke-kun!" a purple haired girl named Ami squealed tackling for him. Sasuke, without stopping, held up the hand which smashed into Ami's face and just pushed her to the side. The small group of kids parted a path for him as he nonchalantly walked towards the middle.
Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw a small figure covered in snow actually make that practically buried in snow. Running, well faster than before, he quickly unburied the figure. Helping the person up, he realized that it was a girl, a few inches small than him.
Her pink hair was covered in snow while her bright emerald eyes were covered in tears. She was shivering as her coat was somewhere splayed on the ground along with her scarf; Sasuke noticed that her eyes were frightened as she tried to inch away from his grasp. He recognized her, the girl quieter than Hyuuga Hinata. Haruno Sakura.
"Sasuke-kun, want to play? We're making fun of forehead-girl here, have you seen that forehead? It's so big; you can get it confused with a plate!" Ami said pointing at Sakura laughing, the whole group laughing behind her. The pink haired girl bit back a sob as she shrunk down to hide herself.
"…" Sasuke's grip on Sakura's shoulders tightened before he released them, turning towards Ami with an angry look" What do you think you're doing? Would you like if I teased you calling you names?" Itachi quirked an eyebrow, he'd seen Sasuke's sad look, shocked look, happy look, but never an angry one.
"Bu-Bu-"
"Be quiet, if any of you guys try to hurt Sakura-chan again you'll answer to me!" Sasuke yelled." Don't forget me." Itachi said walking towards them." Niisan!" Sasuke chirped as he looked up at his brother.
"C'mon Sasuke, we don't want to play here with kids like them, Sakura-chan, you too." Itachi said with a gentle smile as he lifted the girl into his arms. Sakura squeaked in surprise as Itachi's strong arms held her; Sasuke nodded holding his brother's free hand as they left a group of stunned kids behind.
"Are you okay Sakura-chan?" Sasuke asked looking without a pinch of envy at the girl in his brother's arms.
"H-Hai…" Sakura whispered.
"Your coat, unfortunately, seemed a bit too tattered so we'll get you something else to wear when we get to our home." Itachi said with a smile" Where do you live Sakura-chan? We should call your parents to tell you that you're at out home."
"O-Otousan…Ok-Okaasan…mission…" she whispered as Sakura tried to bury herself in Itachi's arms. Itachi frowned, he knew that most parents have no time for their children due to missions but majority of them make time for them.
The rest of the walk was silent as the Uchiha estate came to image. The door opened in surprise revealing Hikaru who looked upset" Where were you two? I was worried sick when teishu (husband) and I came home to an empty house, you could have left a note or some-oh hello there." Itachi shook his head at his mother's mood swings.
"Okaasan, this is Sakura-chan! We saved her from the bullies!" Sasuke announced" Why hello there Sakura-chan. My name is Uchiha Hikaru, I'm Itachi and Sasuke's Okaasan." Hikaru said leaning forward, she tilted her head in confusion when Sakura squeaked in surprise tightening her hold on Itachi's shirt.
"She's a bit ruffled thanks to the kids, she also lost her coat." Itachi explained when suddenly Hikaru yanked both of them into the estate" You three must be freezing, get inside here this instant!" she ordered.
"Itachi."
"Otousan."
"Sakura-chan, this is my Otousan! Otousan, this is Sakura-chan!" Sasuke proclaim proudly, Kaosu stared at Sakura for a brief moment before nodding.
"Hello…" Sakura whispered nervously." Let's not stay outside; Sakura-chan looks like she's frozen!" Hikaru yelled pushing the four inside" Honestly, boys!" Sakura giggled in Itachi's arm making Hikaru's inner self cheer.
Hikaru-inner self: Oh yeah, score one for the female Uchiha! Sakura-chan smiled!
"Now Sakura-chan let me get you some warm clothes." Sasuke gulped when he saw her mother's evil look, Itachi sighed as he could only imagine what was going inside her mother's mind.
'I was hoping for a girl but since I ended up with boys I had no idea what to do with all these girl clothes, good thing they'll come in handy now!' Hikaru thought as she blew the dust off of a huge chest. Sakura and she coughed at the dust that danced around them.
"Ah-ha!" Sakura swallowed nervously as Hikaru yelled out from inside the chest.
"Niisan, what's taking Okaasan and Sakura-chan so long?" Itachi sighed near the fireplace" Girls just take a long time to get dressed next to boys." He answered. He grunted when Sasuke jumped on his back, trying to read over his shoulder only to scrunch his eyebrows in confusion at the hard words.
"We're baack." Kaosu, Sasuke, and Itachi looked up to see little Sakura wearing baby pink kimono with a white sash. A small beige blanket over her shoulders to keep her warm. Seeing Itachi and Sasuke again Sakura turned pink as she hid behind Hikaru's leg.
The female Uchiha squealed (n . n) as she lifted Sakura up and held her closely" It's alright Sakura-chan, we females will stick together!" Kaosu sweat drop as his wife went on and on about how she'll never let Sakura go.
"Itachi, where are Sakura-chan's parents?" Kaosu asked after coughing. Itachi frowned" Apparently they're in a mission." Hikaru, who overheard, gasped" And they left this poor innocent child alone! That's it, we'll adopt her!" Itachi grabbed Sakura from his mother before she strangled her by accident.
"Okaasan, calm down! Sakura-chan, how long have they been in the mission?" Sakura blinked for a second and held up four fingers" Four days?" she shook her head" Four weeks?" Hikaru guessed. She shook her head" Four months?" Sasuke piped in.
"Hai…" Hikaru gasped, wrenching Sakura out of Itachi's grasp, holding her close" Who's been taking care of you then?"
"…Tenshi…" Hikaru echoed Sakura's word in confusion" An angel?" Sakura shook her had" My dog, but she past away this morning…she usually made sure th-those mean kids le-left me alone b-but…" Sasuke looked away uncomfortably as Sakura sobbed into Hikaru's arms.
"Aww, how about this Sakura-chan, you'll spend Christmas with us!" Sasuke perked up at the idea" Yeah, c'mon Sakura-chan!" Grabbing Sakura's small petite hand he dragged her into his room.
"You can stay with me in my room; we'll have so much fu-." Sasuke paused when he heard sniffling. Turning around he saw Sakura rubbing her eyes to rid them of tears." What's wrong? It's okay if you don't want to stay in the same room as me…"
"N-No…it's just…y-you're s-so nice t-to me…" Sakura whispered as she tried to wipe the tears away. She blinked when she felt warm hands upon her ice cold ones, looking up she saw determined onyx eyes.
"…Sakura-chan, I promise you no one will hurt you again so stop crying!" she blinked in surprise" Besides…I like it better when you smile." Sasuke mumbled looking away, his cheeks colored with a bit of pink. Sakura stared at him before a smile arose from her lips as she tackled him.
"Uwah!" Sasuke yelped falling backwards" Arigato Sasuke-kun…Arigato…" she whispered coyly as she planted a kiss on his cheeks.
"Awww, that's so kawaii!" Hikaru squealed from behind the door. Itachi and Kaosu standing below her as they watched the tranquil scene" Aa…" the two male Uchihas murmured, Hikaru pouted at their short answer but it disappeared as Sasuke and Sakura fell asleep in each others arms.
"…I'm going to put them to bed." Itachi whispered as he walked in with the quiet grace only a shinobi possessed. Outside Hikaru squealed again" Grandchildren!" Kaosu mush room sighed" Don't get ahead of yourself Hikaru."
Tsuki-chan: ….anyways got aspirin?
AND AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
