.Chapter 10.

"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.

.End Chapter 10.

Sakura walked into the Yamanaka flower shop and heard hushed voices talking in the background. She made sure the bells on the door didn't ring by holding them. She usually wasn't noisy, but.. She just wanted to know who Ino was taking to. She knew it was Ino by her voice.

"What do you mean pregnant?!" Ino asked. "Chouji this can't happen... it just can't!" She said, glaring at him.

"It's happening Ino you might as well come to face the fact that it happened and more forward. Forget about him..." He said, wanting her to see someone else for who they were; namably himself. He had always liked Ino, and he always wanted her to see him, but she coudl always only see Sasuke.

"Does Shikamaru know?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Chouji nodded. "Shikamaru told me..." He said, biting his lip. "Ino I know this is going to be hard for you, but you CAN'T tell this to another living soul, got that? I promised him I wouldn't tell you..."

"Then why did you?" She asked.

Sakura was starting to get really confused. What where they talking about. She knew it wasn't her place to ask, and that snooping was a bad thing, but she was just curious to what was going on between the two of them. Was Ino pregnant too?

Chouji looked away from ino, refusing to tell her the truth. "I.. Just wanted to." He said, smiling at her, deciding that it was a good alibi. He beamed at her and then took her hand. She smield back at him and then sighed.

"Thanks Chouji." She said, leaning forward and kissing his cheek in thanks and then got up. "I need to go and find Sakura now. Sasuke asked me to take her otu fora while." She said, getting up and walking ogg towards the door.

Sakura panicked and then went out the door and closed ti almost all of the way, quietly and softly enough that the bells on the door didn't ring loudly. She ran down the street, leaned up against the ramen stand and then started to pant. She was really tired.

"Oi! Sakura-chan!" Naruto called over to her, from inside the ramen stand. He waved his hand and caused Sakrua to look up at him.

"Hey Naruto." She said, smiling at him.

"Oi Sakura-chan... is what Sasuke said in Tsunade-baabaa's office true?" He asked. "I mean... if it is..." He trailed off, not knowing what else to say to her... What could he say in all honesty. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, but he wasn't that stupid.

Sakura sighed. "Naruto... you need to promise me not to tell anyone ok? Please keep it just between you me and Sasuke ok?" She asked.

"Only one other person knows and I know she won't tell anyone.." she said, biting her lip. "Please?" She begged, her emerald eyes sparkling in the sunlight.

Naruto blushed slightly and nodded. "Su-Sure, Sakura-chan..." HE said, hanging his head slightly. He just realized that it was over. Sasuke had won the battle for Sakura's heart with ease, but... is all he wanted sex and that's how they ended up with the baby. He knew Tsunade would be even more angry when he told her it was true. She had sent him to find out if it was really true, or if Sasuke had just said it to get out of trouble.

He sighed and got up from the ramen stand and paid for everything he had eaten. "See you later Sakura-chan, I have a mission." He said, smiling. "With Kiba and Hinata." He said, waving at her.

"See ya." He said, putting his hands in pockets sorrowfully and then taking off.

Ino walked over to Sakura and smiled at her. "Come on Sakura, Sasuke asked me to entertain you for the day and I intend to." She said, smirking, slightly depressed, but plainly curious. Is what Chouji told her true?

She sighed and then walked off with Sakura, smiling at her. "We need to find something to do. You want to go to the spa?" She asked, smiling sweetly.

"I'll pay for it." She said, knowing that it would make Sasuke happy.

Sakura nodded at her and the two of them walked off side by side.

"We really haven't been getting along that well..." Ino said, looking over at her. "Why do you think–"

"Because Sasuke came back..." Sakura sighed. "I'm sorry Ino, I know I've been acting really bad and mean but.. I just can't help it ok?" She asked.

Ino smiled. "So have I..." She said, thinking back to her prior actions. "And I'm really sorry." She said, stopping to hug Sakura, resting her hands on her back.

Sakura smiled and hugged her back. "Thanks Ino-chan." She said, as they started to walk once more.

"So you forgive me?" Ino asked, knowing she should apologize to Temari next. She sighed. "I just feel like I've been being so mean to everyone around me. I even got Shikamaru in trouble with his parents." she confessed, just needing someone to talk to.

Sakura looked at her. "What did you do?" she asked curiously. Sakura liked Temari, she was really helpful in this whole ordeal.

"I told Shikaku and Yoshino that Temari was pregnant with Shikamaru's kid." She said, laughing to herself.

Sakura laughed uncomfortably. She didn't mean to get Temari into any kind of issues with anyone, after all, half of Konoha still hated her.

Ino laughed too. "Yeah stupid huh? Shikamaru is too lazy to do anything, especially get a girlfriend or court one." She said smiling, and running her hand through her long blonde ponytail.

"I was just saying it because I saw her buying a pregnancy test." Ino rambled on. "So I just assumed, well.. You know?"

"Yeah I know." Sakura said, uncomfortably. She didn't want Ino to know. Sure they were best friends, but Ino had the biggest mouth in the village and would for sure tell everyone else.

Sasuke walked through the village, with his hands in his pockets. He had just bought a ring and was bored. He had to wait the rest of the day to see Sakura, which left him the rest of the day to plan things out. He smirked to himself smugly. He wasn't one to do things himself, he was one to get things by making them really interesting, or by raising the stakes. So he would just have to figure out a way to do such a thing without actually asking Sakura.

–-

Shikamaru saw Ino walking with Sakura, and they were both smiling. He was a bit surprised to say the least. He was starting to think they hated one another and once again had become rivals since Sasuke had returned in order to get his heart and affection. Sucks that Sakura already had it and that they were pretty much screwed.

Temari had gone back to Suna to relax, and would be back anytime in the next week, depending on how long it took her to get here form Suna and if she ran the whole way or not. The whole journey at a normal Shinobi pace was about three days.

He sighed. He had told Chouji, but didn't exactly mean to. He knew he promised Temari, but Chouji was his best friend, and surely he'd keep his promise and not tell Ino, right? Of course... He trusted Chouji with his life and knew that he wouldn't break the trust between them. Sure, Ino would find out from Sakura, but he'd rather it be from Sakura and not have Temari angry with him. A woman being mad at you is too troublesome.

Sakura looked over at Ino as she was getting her facial. She felt good today. She smiled at her and closed her eyes once more and was comfortable. This felt great. She was in such a good mood now. She looked over at Ino.

"Thanks Ino." she said. "I'm glad Sasuke talked me into this."

"No problem." Ino said, enjoying hers a little less then Sakura was. "Hey umm Sakura?" Ino asked.

"Yeah?" SAkura said, looking over at her again, her emerald eyes opening.

"Can I ask you a question?" Ino asked.

"You just asked m two, but sure. What's wrong?" She asked, closing her eyes once more and sinking down into her chair, feeling the woman around her pampering her to the max. She had her nails done, she was getting a facial and next they were going to get their hair done. Going out with Ino for the day was so much fun. Sakura wasn't one for doing things like this, but it was fun as hell - that she had to admit.

She smiled at Ino who sighed. "Well..." Ino began. "It's just a rumor I heard on the wind, so I don't know of it's true..."

Liar! Inner Ino chimed in. You know it's true. You figured it out, and if Shikamaru knows it, then it HAS to be true! The kids a genius!

Sakura looked at her quizzically. "Wh-what did you hear?" She asked, nervously. "Is it about me and Sasuke-kun?" She asked.

Ino laughed. "No... It's about Shikamaru and Temari..." She lied, not wanting to admit that she knew.

"Do you think they're together? I don't like Temari, she's way too old for Shikamaru! And everyone knows it." Ino said stubbornly, out of mainly jealousy.

Sakura shrugged. "I dunno. They're always together, maybe." She said, smiling and in her own relief, she let out a small sigh.

The spa seemed to pass all too quickly, and Sakura was on her way home. She stopped at the store to get Sasuke some tomatoes because he was out of them, and she knew how much he liked them. She walked to the Uchiha village, which was, as always dark. She looked around and was a kinda creped out. This was really weird. It was so dark and lonely here. She wondered how Sasuke could stand it. But then again - he probably couldn't.

She walked down the long straight path to the main house and then walked inside. It was completely dark.

"Sasuke?" She asked, looking around the house.

"Sasuke-kun?" She called once more, a bit louder.

She walked into the living room. Ok... this was creepy. This must be what it was like for Sasuke before I came... She thought. She looked around in five more rooms before putting the tomatoes away in the refrigerator and then walking up into the room she shared with Sasuke. His old parent's room.

She looked at the wall, it had something on it. The curtain opened and Sakura turned around, seeing nothing at all. She was scared now, but it all faded away when she saw golden moon flowers opening up on the wall, and in cursive lettering they spelled out.

Sakura... Marry Me?

"Sasuke!" Sakura turned around and saw Sasuke standing there smiling at her.

"Hn?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her and kissed her cheek. He held her waist and held up a box. He opened it and showed her the diamond ring he had bought her. The stone itself was huge, and it must have costed him a fortune, Sakura knew it ha to have, but it didn't matter.

Sasuke took her hand and let her go. He bent down and got down on his left knee. "So what do you say? Will you marry me?" He questioned.
