'Nyan! I'm a neko'- thoughts

"Nyan! I'm a neko"- talking

. . .

Recap:

Sakura hadn't noticed as the car slowed down, and Sasuke parked the car on the side of the road. When she realized, she diverted her attention from the window to the Uchiha sitting beside her in the driver's seat.

Sasuke undid his seatbelt and shifted to the side, coming face to face with the pink haired woman. He stared into her eyes, onyx and emerald clashing once again. Not wasting a single second, Sakura pressed her lips against the Uchiha's and fisting her hands in his ebony locks, making him smirk.

"Impatient," Sasuke muttered between the kiss.

"Shut up."

Chapter 11: Console

"Hi Sasuke-kun! Did you miss meh?" Karin shouted as she flung her arms around Sasuke, who became stiff as a board when the red haired woman wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Karin," Sasuke muttered as he maneuvered his way out of her grasp, making sure he was at least arms-length away from her.

"Why did you call me here? Is something wrong? Did that pink witch try to seduce you?" the redhead exclaimed, her eyes growing wide at the thought of Sasuke being with that pink haired menace.

"Stop calling her a witch," the black haired man scolded.

"Why? Don't tell me-"

"I want to call off the wedding," Sasuke stated, cutting Karin off mid-sentence.

"What if I say I don't want to? It's because of her isn't it?" Karin screeched with fake tears sliding down her cheeks.

"You have to," Sasuke replied monotonously, trying his hardest not to lose his temper, but it seemed the redhead always knew what to do or say to set him off every time.

"Let me guess… the reason is because she's in love with you and you love her too, right? Well, I love you too! Besides, we've been through this. We're engaged to be married, and soon we'll be living under the same roof! That witch left you! She even has a daughter! Why can't you just forget about her? Need I remind you? She left you!"

"Yui is my daughter."

"..."

"Call off the wedding."

"..."

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he looked the redheaded woman directly in the eyes. The longer she stayed silent, the more he had to restrain himself from doing something he might regret.

"I... I... I'll call it off, because your daughter is more important."

Sasuke raised a single eyebrow in confusion. 'Is she possessed?'

"I'll tell my family and... yours too. Is that enough," Karin asked with a small smile on her face. She took a step forward and hugged him, and then walked away bidding Sasuke a farewell.

Sasuke was rooted in place where he stood. His mind furiously combing through his conversation with the redhead. He had a bad taste in his mouth. 'Something's wrong.'

"Do you think that I could let you go that easily?" Karin asked out loud as she stared at the sparkling crystals of her bedroom chandelier from where she laid sprawled out on her lavish queen-sized bed. Reaching over, she grabbed a pillow and hugged it to her chest. "After everything I went through just to get you, there's no way I'm letting all my hard work go to waste. I'm sick of that pink haired pitch and her dumb followers. So what if, that little brat's his daughter. It doesn't give them the right to just call off the wedding! There are a lot of men who have children, and marry other women."

"Karin-sama," a random maid called out to the redhead from the now opened door, bowing her head in greeting to her superior.

"What?" the woman in question snapped as she sat up in the center of her bed, the pillow she held being torn in half causing the feathers to gently float in the air before settling down around the redhead, while she wore a scowl.

"Dinner is ready," the maid informed before bowing her head and shutting the door on her way out of the bedroom.

Flopping back down on the bed, making feathers fly in the air, Karin once again settled her gaze upon the chandelier. "His daughter, huh?" the gears in her mind began shifting, and soon a smile befitting a Cheshire cat or the Wicked Witch of The West settled upon her features. "Sasuke Uchiha… you're mine, and only mine."

"I need get a job. I have nothing else to do besides cleaning the house, washing the clothes, making dinner, taking care of Yu-chan, pulling out the weeds-"

"I get, I get it. Stop complaining, will you," said an exasperated Mebuki to her only daughter.

"Hey, Kaa-san. Can you suggest some type of... uh... job for me."

"Are you that desperate?"

Sakura nodded a 'yes'. Mebuki went to her thinking position.

Yui was sitting between them on the sofa. She was so engrossed on the television, watching 'Ninja Hattori'.

Sakura loved her daughter immensely when she's quiet, not that she didn't love her, and she did. Every mother loves their own child more than anyone.

"You can go to your aunt's house in Kyoto. Ever since your uncle has been hospitalized no one's there to take care of your aunt and your cousins. Maybe you can apply as an elementary school teacher, there, with Ai-chan. She's a teacher too isn't she? I'm getting old." Mebuki smiled as the memories of her hometown came in her mind.

"Hmm... Kyoto? It's been a long time since we last visited. I'll think about it. Elementary teacher, is just the right job. But moving there... I'll have to think about it."

"I'm so lonely here. I really miss home." Mebuki whined. Sakura giggled at her mother's childish actions.

"I'll think about it."

"Your dream of becoming a doctor just went all down the drain... You could have applied for the university back then. You could have stayed here, you know?" Mebuki exclaimed she was still a little bit concerned about her daughter.

"If I became a doctor then I wouldn't be able to spend time with this missy over. Everything happened for the best. Yui was the best thing that happened to me. I couldn't wish for more." Sakura pulled her daughter into a tight hug and planted a kissed on her cheeks, a small smile was visible on her lips.

Mebuki sighed.

"Kaa-chan~ can't bweath!"

"Oh! Gommen!"

"Sasuke, you father wants you in the living room."

Sasuke didn't like it when his mother calls him 'Sasuke' in a serious manner. It meant that something was wrong... something really bad...

Sasuke stood up and followed his mother in tow.

When they reached the living room, Mikoto stood beside Fugaku, who was sitting on his chair with the signature frown on his face. No one could tell whether he was happy or sad or frustrated.

But when Sasuke saw his mother's frustrated look, he knew something bad - concerning him - happened.

"Sasuke, Watanabe-san called."

"Hn."

"It's about the wedding," Mikoto added.

At Hyuuga's residence :

"Ino you told us that you have something to tell us? What is it?" Tenten asked with her eyes slightly twitching.

Ino called them (the girls) up early in the morning telling them that she had something very important to tell them. And that also at Tenten's place.

But Ino sat there on Tenten's couch, going through her fashion magazines. It's been an hour since everyone arrived but she didn't moved from her place.

"If you don't want me to burn your long long pwetty hair... then you'd better tell us what you're suppose to tell!"

"Huh?" Ino looked up from her magazine.

"Don't 'huh?' us Yamanaka!"

Temari snatched the magazine away from Ino's hands.

"Hey! I was reading that!"

Temari and Tenten glared right into Ino's eyes. Ino rolled her eyes instead.

"Stop wasting our time Pigggy. Why did you call us here?" Sakura asked.

Ino took out her phone, unlock the phone and went through something. Temari was really pissed.

"Ino now is not the time to text someone!"

"Yeah, Tema's right. Are you even listening to us?"

"Pig!"

"I-Ino-sa... Ino-chan?" Hinata fidgetted.

"What do I look like I'm doing? Playing candy crush? Now way! Here, look at this text." Ino gave her phone to the girls, who gave her 'what-in-world' sort of look in return.

"Tenten read it to us instead," Temari suggested.

"Sure. It says - 'Ino Yamanaka, I won.' What does this even mean? I don't get it..."

"M-Maybe someone sent it b-bye mistake."

"No it can't be 'cause the sender mentioned Ino's name."

"Whoever this sender is he or she is really childish to send something like 'I won' or whatsoever. This is the reason you told us to meet up here?"

"Pig, did you fight with some kid?"

"Puh-lease Forehead. I never fight with kids."

"T-Then it must b-be someone who h-h-hates you."

All eyes turned to the Hyuuga, who had a nervous look on her face.

"Name some people who hate you."

"Since I'm a well known fashion designer. I have a number of harsh critics."

"Ino..."

"I get it! I get it! Sigh... There's Ami, Seiko, Saya, Mitsuki, Azusa, Karin, Momoi-"

"Is your list that long?"

"Yes it ism Why?"

"Okay carry on..."

"Wait! Ino can you tell who the last person you fought with?" Temari asked.

"Ever since we came back the person whom I fought with is... Karin, Karin, Karin and Karin. Why?"

"Don't you get it?!" Sakura facepalmed herself.

"Get what? The dress that I ordered?" Ino snickered sarcastically.

"Karin is the one who sent you the text! Baka!" Tenten raised her voice this time.

"Oh... oh... OH! Hell! What did she won?! How did the red-head-babboon with her red butt got my phone number?!"

"Thank god, Yui isn't here." Sakura sighed.

"So what did she mean by 'I won'?"

"I've no idea..."

The girls sighed. They need to find out what Karin was talking about. She wouldn't send something without no specific reason.

Uchiha's residence [Continuation] :

"Okaa-san, I know."

"You knew? But you tell us? Why? How long has it been?"

"Not long ago. It just happened," Sasuke replied without a speck of emotion on his face.

"Sasuke...why didn't you tell me?" Mikoto's voice was shaking.

Sasuke thought that Mikoto liked Yui a lot, so she'll understand. But he didn't know why his mother was shaking.

"Sasuke. What did was not right and that also before the wedding. What were you thinking?" Fugaku asked monotonously.

"I'll do anything for them." Sasuke glanced sideways. He wasn't someone to say things like this.

Mikoto was beyond words. She stood there frozen at spot, she didn't knew what her son was talking about.

"Then, we'll set the wedding next Monday. Watanabe, suggested that it would be better."

"What?"

Sasuke didn't even have an idea what his father was talking about.

"What do you mean by 'what'? Your wedding with Karin will be this coming Monday... Your father and Watanabe-san thought about the date already," Mikoto cleared it out; without even looking at her son's eyes.

"Karin?"

"Yes, Karin. We're talking about Karin all this time."

"I thought she called off the wedding." Sasuke still couldn't get everything filtered out.

"Sasuke, what are you talking about? Karin didn't call off the wedding. She didn't even mention anything close to that."

"..."

"Sasuke, enough." Fugaku interrupted.

"..."

"Sasuke why aren't you saying anything?" MIkoto asked when she saw the confused look on her son's face. Then something hit her, she knew her own sons more than anyone.

"Don't tell... Don't tell me that you didn't know..."

"..."

Sasuke still didn't reply.

"She's pregnant Sasuke, Karin's pregnant..."

Sasuke looked up at his mother.

"Her father told us about the news. He told me that it has been weeks."

Sasuke didn't reply he walked out of the room, slammed the door behind his back.

"That boy has temper issues." Fugaku went back to his newspaper.

'He didn't know...he didn't know... Was he thinking about... Sakura?' Mikoto asked herself.
