Don't own Naruto .o.o.
You know the rest...
"Are we heading back home Okaa-san?"
Sakura froze in her examination of her pack, she was never going to get use to the child calling her that.
"Hey... Setsumi let's stick to calling me Sakura ok, we don't want the people of the village to know right now."
"Ok Sakura-san," it sounded weird and she never felt comfortable calling her that, but the child didn't want to go against her Mother's wishes.
"So Shiori... Sakura-chan is your Mom?"
"Yeah so? With the all the hints we were giving, we thought you would have got that a while ago," he stated from the end of the bed, he wasn't really paying attention to the blond though, he was to busy playing with a kunai.
"We've been to distracted to actually notice that."
"Obviously." Naruto glared but Shiori wasn't fazed in the least, Naruto went back to packing his bag until Shiori's voice drew both his and Sauske's attention again, "But you know... if you two weren't so busy trying to figure out Sasuke's feelings for our Mother, maybe you would have noticed."
"How did you know about that?"
Shiori smirked, "You weren't very quiet when you were discussing it the other night, and I wasn't the only one that heard either."
Both boys paled, "Please tell me it was your brother or sister that heard."
The boy shook his head, his smirk grew, "They did hear, but they're not who I was referring to."
"You... mean."
"Yup, she heard; weren't you curious as to why she was so distant yesterday?"
'She... she heard me, she knows that I...'
"Sasuke maybe this is a good thing, maybe Sakura-chan will see now."
But that wasn't the case, Sakura ignored her teammates the whole way back to the village. Even when the small gang of bandits attacked them at the border of Fire country, they were no match for Naruto and Sasuke... Sakura however got a small, non-life threatening, cut on her arm. She tried to hide it form her teammates with bandages and gauze, but Setsumi saw it.
They were setting down for the night, Sakura had put the kids to bed and she ordered Naruto to sleep also because he couldn't stand up straight... which left her and Sasuke to keep watch.
"Maybe you should get some rest to...both Naruto and you were up all night the other day an-"
"I'm fine."
'Does he have to interrupt me every time I talk! Fine be that way, but if you pass out from exhaustion before we get home I'm not carrying you... jerk!'
They sat in silence for about another hour, both of them were to busy with their own thoughts. Sasuke's mind for the past two days has been on what both Naruto and Setsumi said. 'It's the only explanation... if Sakura is their Mother... then I have to be... their Father.' His outward expression didn't change or show any indication of the knowledge in his head; however, there a was a small glint in his eye and a swell of pride in his chest.
Sakura was thinking about the same thing only slightly different, 'I can't believe this is happening. This was only suppose to be a simple babysitting job! Not the ultimate end to me actually having a life. I mean, I know I heard Sasuke correctly the other night but... why can't he say that openly to me. And Kiba! He's so sweet to me and I can't just... leave him.' She looked over to the tent that the kids were in, 'But if I don't, they won't exist and Sasuke will find another woman, I can't even bare the thought of that! What am I going to do?' Sakura was never good at concealing her emotions for long, she about to cry and Sasuke could see it.
"Sakura."
"What?" she wiped her eyes trying to hide her tears.
"Are.. are you...alright?"
'Did he just think about someone else other then himself?'
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Who are you and what did you with Sasuke?"
'Is she serious?'
"What!? Don't give me that look, you never care about anyone but yourself, and you just asked if I was alright!"
"Keep your voice down or you'll wake them up."
"Why do you care? I remember 4 days ago when we first met them, you denied they were even part of your clan! Now you want them as your family? You can't have it both ways Sasuke, they're kids... they will get hurt."
"It doesn't matter, they're going to come,there is no choice."
Sakura was angry and confused by his words, "What do you mean by that!?"
"Setsumi told us you were her Mother."
"Yeah Sasuke I was there when she said that." She averted her eyes form him, 'I hate when he stares at me like that.'
"Sakura."
"Sasuke... I know what you're thinking." She looked straight at him again, the tears returned to her eyes, "I'm sorry... I can't. I'm not just not going to leave Kiba because of what she said."
Sasuke glared at the mention of the Dog trainer's name, he stood and walked around the fire approaching her. His rage was building, 'She wants to stay with him! Even after she knows we end up together, she still picks him!' "You made a promise."His voice sent chills down her spine despite how close he was to her and the fire wasn't even helping.
"I know what I did, you don't have to remind me of that! I made that promise to the boy I loved begging him to stay in our village! I forgave that boy for leaving, I forgave him for what happened at the sound base when he nearly killed his best friend! But that boy turned into a hateful man seeking revenge, that thinks of nothing but power and killing people. That man attacked the village, that man could have hurt innocent people and for what? Because Madara tricked him! A man that he just meant, he believed everything he said! The man was insane! You're not the boy I use to know... I can't live with what you did... I'm sorry," she stood and entered her tent, leaving him to think about what she said.
"Onii-san what are we going to do? Okaa-san and Otoo-san have to be together."
"Yeah Setoru... what are we going to do?"
"We'll figure something out."
Note: WHAT!? Sakura isn't going to be with Sasuke? She wants to stay with Kiba? Is Sasuke just going to live with this? And what are the kids planning in order to get their parents together?
