SaiSakuSasu Love Story: Chapter 10

Tomo and Gaara was sitting in the couch of their amazing living room. Kimi, Tomo's daughter was playing in the middle of the room with her toys spread out.

"Uncle Gaara, how come you don't have a girlfriend?" Kimi asked as she looked up at her uncle.

"Uncle does have a girlfriend, He just doesn't want mommy to know" Tomo said.

"Why Daddy? Is mommy going to beat up Uncle Gaara?"

"Now, now kimi, That's not nice to say. Mommy doesn't beat up people...mommy discipline people when they're bad."

"Does mommy put other people in the 'dog house' like she always tell you?"

Gaara spit out his drink, choking on it. Tomo pat his brother-in-law on the back.

"Uncle Gaara! Are you okay?!" Kimi got up and tug on Gaara shirt as he tried to control his coughing.

Naruto and Sasuke walked in the room.

"Uh...Whats up?" Naruto said as he's watching the scene in front of him.

"Oh, Hey. Just Kimi and I having a conversation." Tomo said causally.

"Daddy said mommy going to put Uncle Gaara in the dog house if he tells mommy about his girlfriend." Kimi said.

Naruto and Sasuke stared at Kimi.

"Five years later and you guys raised a smartass." Naruto mumbled.

"Daddy! Uncle Naruto swore!" Kimi yelled. She ran up to Naruto and kicked him. Naruto yelped as he bend down quickly, holding the sudden pain on his knee. "I'll discipline you just like mommy so bad people can be good!"

Sasuke felt his stress lifted a little just by being amused at the little girl's intelligent.

"Good job baby, But go to your room. The grown ups going to do business now."

"Kay daddy!" Kimi singly said as she kissed both Gaara and Tomo on the cheek and ran off.

"Fuck. Why the hell do you have to raise a child like that?!" Naruto groan.

"Not my fault. Most stuff she learned was from Temari." Tomo shrugged.

"Leave it to that women to raised a child like that." Gaara mumbled, remember his sister have a really short temper for people who's... 'bad'.

"Where's the girls?" Gaara asked as he was reading papers for work.

"They're shopping. We're about to leave to the mall soon to "bump" into them." Naruto said.

"Who's in the Sai look out?"

"Shikamaru and Neji will be in the lookout. Since Shikamaru said being around the girls was 'troublesome'. Shopping with them is worse. Neji agreed so he's joining Shikamaru." Tomo Said.

"Are you going with them?" Gaara

"Well someone have to control these two if they go into a anger rampage. So yes, we're going to go with them." Tomo said with a smile. Gaara stopped looking at his paper.

"We?"

"Yes, We. As in better get ready, cause we're leaving in a bit unless you want one of us to spill about your little girlfriend for the past two years that you've been hiding!" Tomo chirp. Gaara glared at his Brother-in-law. Now he sees why his sister married him.

"So your blackmailing me in something we shouldn't be in the first place?"

"Well we've been in this from the beginning, You let them stay here, plus made a private reservation to the restaurant and convinced Temari to be in it just so she doesn't nagged you." Tomo pointed out. Gaara grunt as he got up and left the room.

" I thought you convinced Temari" Naruto asked.

"Kind of. Gaara was mostly convincing her since Gaara never helped anyone. So it's kind of shocking for Temari to even have Gaara ask for a solid." Tomo shrugged as he got up and walked out of the room.

"Am I the last one to know that Gaara have a girlfriend?" Sasuke finally spoke.

"Pretty much." Naruto answered as he signal Sasuke to leave with him.


It's been almost a week since she finally went out of her house. She requested a vacation from work. She was grandly accepted from non stop working for almost a year. Ino suggested a girls time out to the mall would be a nice way to start her vacation and since she haven't been with them for almost a year, it would of brought up some great memories they had when they were back in Konoha. Sakura was still a university student who was working on her doctor degree. Every Saturday they hang out and do their own things away from the guys.

"Whoa! Suna's shopping mall so beautiful!" Tenten awed as she looked around downtown of Suna.

"I'm surprised the plants are so green with such a heat like this" Ino said as her eyes are set on the beautiful flowers on the side of the sidewalks, giving the city a beautiful look.

"Suna must of wasted shit loads of water for them" Tsunade mumbled, drinking her to-go sake. Temari laughed.

"Yeah. But we have one of the best hospital and business going on here. The city funds are mostly from charity that the wealthy people who lives in Suna gives. Including my family." Temari said.

"In order to have population growing, you have to have a beautiful city for tourist." Hinata said with a smile. Temari nodded in agreement.

They walked into the largest mall in Suna.

"Where should we go first?" Ino asked. Each of them were looking at different direction as they talked at the same time.

"Why don't we let Sakura choose first?" Tsunade suggested.

"N-No. I'm okay! I'll go anywhere you guys go." Sakura blushed.

"Why don't we look at dresses?" Hinata suggested.

"Y-Yeah! Since it's always hot here, summer dress are a big trend here." Sakura noted.

"Then dress shopping it is!" Ino yelled as she grabbed Sakura and ran into a nearby dress store as the other girls followed.


"What is up with girls and malls?" Shikamaru complained as he was leaning back on the chair. The guys were on the other side of the mall watching them. Sasuke watched Sakura. She was wearing a pale pink knee length dress that snuggle her waist perfectly. She had her long pink wavy hair tied into a half up do. She was truly beautiful.

"So when should we 'bump' into the girls?" Naruto asked. "I want to see my Hina-Chan!"

"Shut up idiot. What if they could hear us?" Shikamaru snapped.

"I can't be that loud. We're at the mall. It's already loud enough." Naruto complained.

"The mall echos the louder you talk. We can even hear those that guy over there talking." Gaara pointed out as their eyes were to the group of loud boys. One of them was telling a story. They were across the other side of the mall. "If we can hear them, guaranteed they can hear us if we talk as loud as you are."

After two hours of shopping and non stop catching up and random talking, the girls was walking around the center of the mall. Sakura phone was buzzing. She checked it.

"What are you doing babe? Want to go out to eat? I'm on break.

-Sai."

Sakura stared at her phone and sighed. This been the tenth text within two hours. Can't she just have her alone time? She told him she was busy with her friends. Catching up with only the girls since they're only staying for a couple of weeks. She did felt bad for ignoring Sai since that night. But still, Shes starting to get irritated that she can't even spend five minutes with them without having him texting her like crazy.

"Still with the girls Sai-Kun, I can't today." Sakura texted back. After a couple minutes of waiting, Her phone buzzed again.

"Why can't you just come and eat with me tonight then? It's not like your going to spend the whole 24 hours with them.

-Sai"

Sakura was really getting mad.

"Actually, I am. They're my friends in Konoha. I won't be seeing them for a long time...I just want a day with my girls. Is that wrong?" Sakura tried to relaxed. She didn't want her irritation ruined the girls checked her phone once again as she heard the beep.

"Yes it is wrong. As a girlfriend, You should pay attention to your boyfriend's needs. Don't you appreciate the things I done for you? Don't you know how much I love you? Why don't you want to spend the night with me? I'll pick you up tonight at 8.

-Sai"

Sakura was stressed out now. No matter how many time she says no to him, He doesn't get it and always do what he wants. Tsunade words was starting to get into her head. Should she stay with him? She doesn't want the guilt to eat her. It's not that she doesn't have any interest in him, She actually does. But she doesn't love him like that. She doesn't even like him as a crush. If she didn't dated Sasuke, Maybe she would of had the guts to try...Not that she's not trying. She is. She accepted his invitation, Accepted gifts that she didn't want. She know a little about him..and he knows a little about her. The simple things. She just felt like she's not ready to really open up to him.

Sasuke watched from the distance. Who is she texting? She looked like she's stressing out just by looking at her phone. Sasuke head shot up as he saw two girls around the age 17-18 standing in front of him. He looked at them as they giggled and blushed.

"H-Hi, My name is Miu, and this my friend Kia" The girl name Miu said. She had brown long hair and hazel eyes. She was pretty. Same with her friend, Kia who had black hair and brown eyes. They smiled at him. He scoff and looked away.

"I have no interest." He said smoothly.

"Re-really? Are you sure?" Kia asked. Miu and Kia sat beside him. Sasuke was getting irritated. The guys were ordering foods. Kia mini skirt rise up as she sat down. Her cleavage was showing. Miu was wearing a tank top showing her stomach as she wore a black short. Sasuke admit they were good looking girls. But nobody can be as perfect as his cherry blossom. The only beautiful girl he sees in his eyes.

"What's your name?" Miu asked. Sasuke stay silent, He kept his eyes on Sakura as they were sitting on the fountain, chatting away drinking pop and eating a little snack. He closed his eyes as he remembers that soft laughed Sakura gives out. Whatever Ino was talking about, was making Sakura laugh. He felt the urges growing. He needs to hear that laugh comes out of her mouth again. He missed that laugh. He missed her.

"Okay...what's your hobby?" Kia asked. Sasuke stayed quiet once again.

"Uhm, Hello? why don't you answer us?" Miu asked.

"I said I'm not interest. Leave." Sasuke finally spoke.

"It doesn't hurt to chat. Are you single?" Miu asked.

"I said i'm not interested. If I said i'm not interested meaning desperate prostitutes like the both of you should leave." Sasuke snapped. Miu and kia eyes widen.

"Pro-prostitutes?!" Kia screeched.

Sasuke got sick of it. He got up and walked away from them as they started swearing at him and crying. He shook his head.

"Oi! Teme! looked at this jumbo soda!" Naruto sang happily.

"Where the hell were you?" Sasuke asked.

"I found him at the ramen shop over there." Tomo pointed. Sasuke shook his head. "It's also the reason why he's so happy."

"It taste good! but not amazing as the one in Konoha!" Naruto explained. He was still happy.

Tomo and Naruto was chatting away as Sasuke was following close behind. Who was Sakura texting to? Why does she look so stress? Temari told him she was on a vacation, so shouldn't she be stressfree?

"Oh Naruto-Kun! Tomo-Kun!" A familiar voices called out. Sasuke looked up to see Hinata and Temari coming up to their husband. The girls was looking at them...Sakura took a glanced at him but quickly looked down as they made eye contact. That night was replaying over and over in his head. He couldn't help it. He felt stupid just to even ask that question..


Shikamaru and Neji was at the food court relaxing. Enjoying the not to loud mall. It wasn't busy due to it being a weekday. But it wasn't quiet quiet like both him and Neji likes. Neji eyes was on a certain someone. Shikamaru took notice as he followed Neji eyes.

Gunai Sai was on the other side..he was with another girl.

"Is he a stalker or something?" Shikamaru asked.

"I don't think he knows Sakura is here..He's seems too friend with that girl." Neji pointed out. He got up and walked towards Sai, trying his best to hide himself from getting caught by Sai. Shikamaru shrugged as he got up and followed behind.

"Sai-Kun, Thank you for the dress! It's lovely" The women said. Sai gave out his charming smile.

"Not as lovely as how your body was last night, beautiful." He said smoothly, making the women blushed.

"Sai-Kun! Not here in public...So naughty!" She harshly whispered. There was a hint of embarrassment, satisfaction and pleasure. Sai chuckled.

"Babe, Doesn't matter. Just seeing you makes me crave for you even more." The women blushed even more.

"Well, Well. I guess Sakura isn't good enough for you?"

Sai and the women turned around to the voice. Shikamaru and Neji was standing in front of him.

"I wonder, Neji, What would Sakura say if she saw him with another women wrapped in his arm?" Shikamaru asked casually.

"I hope she brought a gun with her." Neji replied back with a hint of disgust and anger. Sai scoff.

"Hate me enough to follow me? Shouldn't you guys be with your wife then stalking people?" Sai asked harshly.

"We would say the same with you. Why aren't you out with your beloved girlfriend instead?" Shikamaru sarcastically asked.

"She was busy. So I decided to go out with my people too."

"Your people? So the whore your arms around with is just a friend?"

"Excuse me, you Pineapple bastard!" The women growled at Shikamaru.

"More like a dog.." Neji mumbled.

"How dare you both! Sai-Kun do something!" She screeched. Sai smirked.

"Go ahead and tell Sakura. See what happens. I believe you guys seen my record right? In Suna, I'm the most powerful man in this town. I can do whatever I want, and get whatever I want. That includes getting rid of your pretty little wife to joined you. You guys may hate me, but that will never stop me from being with Sakura." Sai said. He turned his heel and grabbed the women. "What proof do you have anyway? Just because you guys see it with your own eyes, doesn't mean you have solid physical proof."

Shikamaru and Neji watched him leave. They felt their blood boiling. If they could do one thing legally, it would murder him until it was hard to figure out who body it is that it belongs to.

"What do we do?" Shikamaru asked.

"Let Sakura figured it out. For now, we shouldn't tell the others. Who knows what they will do or say." Neji said. Shikamaru nodded in agreement. If Sasuke, Ino, or Naruto finds out they would of done something unbelievable. Shikamaru shook his head at Sai's words.

"The nerve that bastard got." Shikamaru mumbled. Then he realized something. Neji caught his curiosity.

"What?"

"Where's Gaara?"


Throughout the day, They were walking around town. The sun was setting. Sakura kept looking down, trying to avoid eye contacts with Sasuke. She felt awkward to be next to him. That night he propose to her wasn't what she pictured it. She never thought Sasuke would ever thought about that. About getting married and having kids...growing old together...Sakura held her tears back. She's starting to regret leaving him. She knew all the stress he was in due to his brother and father. Itachi was still in training under his father. Sasuke was taking Itachi place as Itachi was training to do what his father was doing. Leaving Sasuke with both his and his brother work. Sasuke could never deny his brother or his father request. They done everything together. Sasuke never wanted to let them down. Sakura felt bad that she kept bothering him, asking for him to take a break when she knows he won' felt bad about that stupid fight that should never happened. Sakura sighed.

"Hey, Why don't we call the others to meet us at a restaurant?" Ino suggested.

"Yeah! Like old times eh?!" Naruto agreed.

"That would be nice without someone getting in the way..." Tomo said, earning a slap on the back of the head by his wife.

"Tomo-Kun!" Temari scoffed.

"It's okay Temari...Lets not talk about that night. It would actually be nice to have just us this time." Sakura said with a smile. She texted the others the address to the restaurant. "Okay, I told the others to come to this little restaurant."

"What restaurant do you have in mind Sakura?" Tenten asked.

"It's a Japanese grill out. There's sushi, steak, ramens, ect. it's popular and affordable."

"Wha?! ramens?! Lets go!" Naruto yelled as he grabbed Hinata. Sakura laughed and lead them to the restaurant.


"Oi! You guys over here!" Ino called out. Shikamaru, Neji and Gaara walked towards the table.

"What took you guys so long?" Tenten asked as her husband sat next to her.

"We were finding Gaara" Shikamaru said with a sighed.

"Finding Gaara? Where did you go?" Temari asked as she looked at her brother.

"I was shopping. Is that wrong?" Gaara asked.

"Shopping?"

"Christmas is in two months. Which is the busiest month for our company. Shopping will be difficult." Gaara lied.

"We met his girlfriend." Shikamaru whispered to Tomo.

"Ahh. I see, That's a great way of planning!" Tomo said. "Right Babe?" Temari nodded her head slowly.

Gaara almost let out a sighed. But instead he kept his facade.

Ne, Sakura-Chan! can you switch seats with me? I want to be with my hubby" Ino pouted. Sakura hesitated. Ino was keeping her and Sasuke a seat away from each other. She got up slowly as her best friend scooted closer to her husband. Sakura sat down and looked at the menu, still avoiding eye contacts with him. The seat was really close to each other..close enough for her to touched Sasuke's shoulder. She felt her blush showing.

Naruto was telling a story to the group as they were laughing and chatting away. An three hours has past and the uncomfortable feeling was lifted. Sasuke and Sakura talked little by little, but after talking about high school and memories they all made together including meeting Tomo for the first time when Temari and Gaara was still an exchange student back in Konoha.

"All the girls had a huge crush on Tomo! They never thought he would ever be with Temari" Ino laughed.

"What does that suppose to mean?" Temari was also laughing at the memories. She was a tomboy. Who had her hair cut short and layered. She would always keep her hair tied into four section due to her hating her bad haircut.

"You were a huge tomboy, and everyone thought you would never have a boyfriend. If you did, they thought it would of been a biker guy." Ino explained laughing.

"I remember one time, A girl in our classroom said Tomo must of been blind to be with a girl like you and you beat the shit out of her!" Naruto said.

"Serve her right to have a loud mouth." Temari noted.

"Babe, you broke her nose." Tomo also noted.

"She called me an ugly bitch. What do you expect?" Temari huffed.

"That's okay. Because in my eyes, your the only girl who can catch my eyes." Tomo reassured her with a kiss on the cheek.

"Awe...Why can't you be romantic like that?!" Ino yelled, punching Shikamaru on the arm.

"Troublesome..." Shikamaru mumbled while rubbing his arm.

"Hey hey, remember that funny rumor of Sasuke being gay?" Naruto brought up. Sasuke glared at Naruto. He knows Naruto going to bring it up until his future kids hear about his father's high school moments. Due to not telling his best friend about him and Sakura losing their virginity to each other. Once he thought about it, He would of done the same thing...maybe.

"Naruto! Don't bring that up. Nobody believes in that rumor anymore" Sakura said.

"Says the one who believed in it the first time!" Naruto pointed out. Sakura blushed.

"We-well we were young! we would believe in anything."

"Uh-huh. Like you believe that Sasuke house was haunted that time we had a sleepover?"

"Th-That was different! Sasuke house wasn't even a house! it was a mansion! who knows how many people lived there before his family."

"...Our family was the only family..." Sasuke said.

"Eh?! So the mansion new?!" Sakura was shocked. Sasuke shook his head.

"No, The Uchiha was the only one who lived there. It's pass down generations to generations Once Itachi or me get married, we will be moving back to the Uchiha mansion to raised our family there. Reason why we have so many bedrooms." Sasuke explained.

"So...Was there an Uchiha or anyone murder there?" Temari asked curious.

"...maybe."

"May-maybe?!" Naruto and Sakura squeaked.

"I dunno..I'm guessing so. My father told me there's some trouble memories in here. Some of our family are...uncomfortable walking in the Mansion. It's to the point where members of Uchiha who doesn't know about the history usually ends up living in the mansion." Sasuke explained once again.

"How does that work out?" Tomo asked.

"I have no clue. Itachi and I are the only child my parents raised. So for the both of us to live in the mansion with our family would of been okay. It's usually giving out to the first born to raise their family. But knowing Itachi, It's going to be awhile for him to even think about settling down."

They looked at Sasuke in amazement. This was the first time they ever heard Sasuke talked full sentence...or talk at all! They were enjoying it.

"So...When we go back to Konoha, can we go ghost buster mode?" Naruto asked excited.

"No. Having you over at my parents mansion will just be asking for trouble." Sasuke said flatly.

"Nah uh! Your mom and dad loves me!" Naruto said. Sasuke sighed. His parents and Naruto's parents been friends since they were high school themselves. It's one of the reason why they were friends in the first place. Everyday, Naruto would visit Sasuke due to their parents daily tea date.

"Sakura!" A voice called out angrily. They turned their head to see the person they wanted to see least. Sakura stood up from her seat.

"Sa-Sai-Kun!"
