Hey, sorry for the hold up, I'm on vacation today, but anyways Merry X-mas guys, here's the chapter entirely Sasuke's POV as a gift :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. End of Story.

Sasuke:...

Boruto: Merry X-mas! You better have some time to spend with us, old man!

Naruto: Ehehehe... Definitely... *dies on the inside*

White: Onto the...story...

Sasuke

I sighed and twisted to the other side of the bed. Sleeping was difficult, I couldn't lay down properly without hurting the hollow bones of my wings, so I was forced to sleep on my sides.

The fact that I had needles stuck in one of my arms kept me from turning abruptly to the other side.

Sakura looked down and me and said "Sasuke-kun, I need go back to the lab, we still need to find and finish the cure..." I nodded silently and she walked out of the room briskly.

Silence...

It filled the room, for normal people it would be uncomfortable, but I was used to it. Shutting my eyes, I tried to clear out the memories of that night. I obviously knew the truth of why it happened, I knew that years ago, but it never ceased to horrify me and remind me of the sins I've done just to achieve the revenge that killed off my brother who still loved me and never meant for me to hurt the ones that were close to me after he died.

Sighing heavily, I peeled my eyelids open, looking up to the plain white ceiling, the silence washed over the room but that all ended when Sarada kicked the door open, pulling a bruised up Boruto in a headlock into the room.

Mitsuki, Orochimaru's gaki(1), walked in calmly, which freakily reminded me of myself when I was their age. "Sarada, calm down, no need to try to kill Boruto just because he called Sasuke-san a 'weirdo of a father who tried to hurt you on purpose', you know he's an idiot sometimes." Mitsuki said bluntly.

I glowered at a very terrified dobe jr, "So... You call me a weirdo of a father and that I tried to hurt my own daughter on purpose?" I asked him sharply, activating my Sharingan just for the effect and not to actually hurt him on purpose.

"E-eh?! Sasuke-ochan, I was only joking around, I didn't mean that seriously, after all you are one of my sensei's, right...?" Boruto said nervously, backing closer to the door.

Sarada grabbed him by the collar and smacked him hard in the head, "Damn right you were joking!" She seethed, her eyes already threatening to show the Sharingan, "Now say sorry!" She shoved him hard and he fell next to my bed.

"O-OW! Fine, fine... I'm sorry Sasuke-ochan..." He muttered and stood up, dusting himself off and darted out of the room.

"Sarada... Do you want me to find Boruto?" Mitsuki asked Sarada, looking towards the door. Sarada replied by saying "Uhm...Sure? Just bring him back in one piece, so I can tear him apart limb by limb later, Shannaro!"

"Ok...I'm going to find him now..." Mitsuki said, creeped out by Sarada's comment and left the room.

I almost chuckled, almost. Team Konohamaru was so similar to Team 7, especially with Sarada and Sakura's clone-like personality. Though Sarada still retained a lot of the Uchiha personality, she was more talkative and louder than most Uchiha's are.

"Sarada..." I said quietly, she immediately stiffened and turned around slowly and robotic like.

"H-hai Papa?!" She yelled and immediately turned red as tomato when her voice echoed down the hall.

"..." I was at loss of words, and watched Sarada silently as she poked her fingers together, like Hinata did when we were younger, and her legs inched closer to the door but she hit the doorframe.

I couldn't hold it in anymore and chuckled, the chuckles turned into laughter. Although I didn't laugh loudly like the dobe usually does, it was still foreign to me.

Sarada just stared at me, "Papa is going crazy...Boruto's actually right...This must be a dream, someone pinch me...I'm the one going crazy..." She muttered and walked closer to the door.

"N-no, Sarada...You don't...have to leave..." I managed to say between peals of laughter, and Sarada stopped and looked at me suspiciously.

"You're not my father, what did you do to him." She accused and pointed her finger at me.

I regained my composure and managed to sit up, "Hn, of course I'm your father, you're not supposed to point your finger at me, it shows that you have no manners to others." I said bluntly.

Sarada anime sighed loudly and said "Thank Kami, I'm not going crazy, same old blunt Papa..." She giggled and sat on her hospital bed.

"Hn." I grunted and turned away, it was then when Sakura came into the room and pulled out some of the remaining needles in my arms, I winced slightly, but ignored the pain.

"Sorry Sasuke-kun, we needed to unhook you off some of the pain relief and sleep-inducing drugs." Sakura said quietly and walked out of the room.

"Uh...Is Mama ok?" Sarada asked, as she stood up and pressed a piece of cotton onto my bleeding arm.

"...she's probably stressed out on finding the cure..." I replied, running a hand through my pale blue hair. It was annoying that I looked like Kabuto now, I remember when he still worked for Orochimaru and was that cold hearted bastard of a medic, he would often inject drugs into my system, as Orochimaru had said 'To enhance my abilities faster'.

Sarada tentatively reached out and touched one of the horns protruding from the top of my head. I didn't stop her, she was obviously curious but also hesitant, she was still afraid of me...

I hated how she was so unsure and uncertain around me and was also afraid if she did something wrong in front of me. It was most likely the fact that I was not around her for most of her life and how she watched me train Boruto.

Reaching out and gripping her hand gently, I guided them down to my lap and I said softly "You should go home and prepare Sakura some food, you know she'll probably come home late, and I can't come home."

"U-un.." She said, pulling away from me and walked out the door, "Sorry about everything...Papa..." She said quietly and walked out, sliding the door close.

It was silent again...

I laid down again and touched the side of my face where my bangs usually covered it, it was scaly and I could feel the pulsing of the sage marks on my eyes. I closed my eyes and covered the side of my face with my long bangs, I can't hide from the world that I looked like this, it could be a punishment for all the sins I had done, but I wasn't sure. I wasn't a superstitious person when it comes to punishment.

Sarada had told me that she had overheard villagers whispering about how I was still the same ruthless killer as before and how it was sad that she was born. Those stupid bastards can't keep their mouths shut and wouldn't stop gossiping, they don't say something like that to her and in front of her.

Damn... The sleeping drugs were overpowering, so I just shifted over and let the darkness engulf me...
