Chapter 13 – Sakura's Chapter (Part 2)

"Salad, you're late. Where have you been?" I questioned my daughter when she walked in the door. She's usually the first home.

"Sorry, I was at the park with Bolt."

That answer surprised me. Bolt? She was out with Bolt?

"Why did you two go to the park?" I asked. She sighed.

"He wanted to tell me that he like-liked me."

I tried not to gasp. Bolt like-liked her! Did she like him back? Were my mother and mother-in-law right again? If they were I would fully support Salad and Bolt.

"How did you respond?" I tried to play it cool.

"I told him I don't like him."

"I see."

"Even when I told him he was annoying he just grinned and was all 'I'm not going to give up on you, Salad. I'm going to get you.' Super annoying, right?"

I laughed. Salad was just like her father.

"Salad, are you absolutely positive that you do not like Bolt?" I asked.

"Yeah. He is so annoying. He's always hanging around and causing mischief. He's always do stupid stuff and grinning. I get it, you have perfect teeth, calm down. Then he is so moody sometimes and it's like either be happy or sad. I can't deal with all your emotions," Salad answered. I wanted to laugh. I could see why she thought him annoying but I could see signs of something else.

"He is fun to be around sometimes but I don't want him to be my boyfriend," Salad went on further.

"Who would you like to be your boyfriend?" I asked.

"No boy around here."

"Not even Mitsuki?" I remembered the boy she was always around.

"No way. He is arrogant and not in a cool way," She remarked.

"Well, if you had to choose one guy you know to be your boyfriend, who would it be?"

Salad paused to think. She was thinking so seriously. She was so cute.

"Kaka-ji-san."

"What?" Kakashi!

"Kaka-ji-san is the one. He is handsome, smart, funny, and nice. Sure he reads those stupid adult books but otherwise he is a total catch."

She forgot to add amazing kisser…but no! He was her godfather!

"But we can't be together right now because I am only thirteen and that would be super illegal. He's also my godfather which would be a little weird but age and titles don't matter when it comes to love," She was suddenly too much like my younger self.

"Salad, you can't be with Kaka-ji-san."

"What? But you've always said you can be with anyone I want," She threw my words back at me.

"I'm sorry but Kaka-ji-san is off limits."

"Why? Is it the age thing? I really don't mind."

Thirteen year old girls…I had to bring out the old truth.

"You can't date him because he and I used to date."

I saw the shock and almost horror in her eyes.

"What?" She practically screeched.

"What happened?" Sasuke-kun and all the boys ran in the kitchen. I facepalmed.

"Mama and Kaka-ji-san used to date!" Salad seem so scandalized. I was bright red. She was blowing it out of proportion. It wasn't like I was married to him or anything.

"What?" The triplets gasped. Seiya didn't really know what was going on but gasped to be like his brother. Seita just gurgled against Sasuke-kun who looked annoyed.

"You and Kaka-ji-san dated?" Shinnosuke spoke first.

"Yes," I sighed.

"Did you know about this, Papa?" I heard Shosuke ask Sasuke-kun.

"Yes."

More gasps. I needed to sit down so I did.

"Why did you date him when Papa and you were destined to be together?" Salad came before me in the living room. The triplets followed. Seiya stood by his older brothers.

"Well, Papa and I had a fight and he was gone for a long time. Kaka-ji-san and I were really good friends and it turned into more…" Why did I have to explain this to my children now?

"But Papa is your husband!" Sosuke did not know the timeline.

"This was before Papa and I got married," I clarified. He accepted this.

"So Papa came back and stole you from Kaka-ji-san?" Shinnosuke was making it more of a drama.

"No. I loved Papa so much that Kaka-ji-san and I decided to break up so I could be with Papa when he got back."

They all nodded.

"If Papa hadn't come back, would you have gone back to Kaka-ji-san and married him?" Salad asked something I never wanted to answer in front of Sasuke-kun.

"That's enough inquiries about my old love life for the day," I laughed and tried to get up.

"No, Sakura, I think you should answer the question," Sasuke-kun had a menacing look and pushed my shoulder down with his free arm so I would stay on the couch.

"No, I think not, Sasuke-kun. I have to make dinner. Excuse me," I got up and left my shocked family. I heard them whispering and such the whole time I was cooking. Then things got worse.

"Hello, Uchihas!"

I had forgotten Kakashi was coming over for dinner.

"Kakashi," I came out having finished putting the food on the dining room table. None of the children greeted him except Seiya who did so shyly. Sasuke-kun didn't even greet him. I came and hugged him.

"The kids just found out we used to date," I whispered in his ear as we hugged.

"I see," He nodded when we separated. He received many glares from the children.

"Let's eat," I went to the table. Kakashi stayed close. Kakashi sat to my right and Seiya sat across from him. Sosuke was beside Kakashi and glared the most at my ex. I noticed Sasuke-kun glaring at Kakashi too. This was getting out of hand.

"Kaka-ji-san, were you going to marry Mama?" Shinnosuke asked making both Kakashi and me both choke on the spaghetti.

"Excuse me?" Kakashi looked to the boy.

"If Papa hadn't come back during his and Mama's big fight, would you and Mama have gotten back together and gotten married?" Shinnosuke elaborated. I could see Sasuke-kun was very interested in the answer as well. I never told Sasuke-kun much about Kakashi and my relationship. I only told him we had dated and we did anything more than kissing. I didn't tell him about how we dated or that I had started to fall in love with Kakashi while he was gone…but I didn't feel that way towards Kakashi anymore! I just wanted Salad to be grossed out so she wouldn't want to date the guy more than twice her age! Now most of the kids and Sasuke-kun hated him. I'm sorry, Kakashi.

"You don't have to answer that, Kakashi," I grabbed his arm.

"No, it's okay, Sakura," Kakashi smiled to me then looked to the children.

Everyone leaned in so to hear him properly. Even Sasuke-kun.

"Your Mama and I wouldn't have," He surprised even me. If Sasuke-kun and I had not gotten back together, Kakashi wouldn't have gotten back with me?

"Why not?" Salad asked.

"Because, even if your parents never got back together, I couldn't be with your Mama because I would know that deep down she would only truly and fully love your Papa. It would not be right of me to be with your Mama when she was truly in love with another person," Kakashi explained.

Kakashi! He was still the best!

I saw the fondness return to the faces of my children. The rest of the meal and evening went well. I hugged Kakashi extra tightly before he left. I put Seiya to bed then the triplets then Salad.

"Mama, Kaka-ji-san is good guy," Salad said as I tucked her in.

"Yes, he is."

"He was a worthy rival for Papa."

"He was," I laughed.

"I never actually meant to date him or anything. I was just joking but I'm glad you told me the truth about you two," She revealed.

"You never wanted to date him?" I was surprised.

"No. He is way too old and I'm not really interested in dating anyone right now. I'm thirteen after all," She yawned.

"Good. Don't focus on boys. Just focus on everything else."

"I will," She yawned again, "But I hope I do end up dating a guy like Kaka-ji-san."

"I hope so too."

I kissed her goodnight then checked on Seita who was sleeping. I was so glad he had finally begun to sleep all through the night. I was glad he was a sleepy baby like Seiya and Salad and not a cranky baby like the triplets were. Those were some trying times with those boys. I went to Sasuke-kun and my bedroom.

"Want me to help you change?" I asked him, seeing he was struggling with the buttons on his shirt.

"Hn," He shrugged, I began unbuttoning him. His smooth chest became more visible. I wanted to see more. It had been a while since we were able to be together as husband and wife are supposed to be. I kissed his chest.

"What are you doing?" He pushed me away. I blushed.

"I thought we could…"

"Is the kind of stuff you and Kakashi used to do?"

I was shocked and appalled by his inquiry.

"No! Why would you even ask that?"

He looked away from angrily.

"You never told me how far you and Kakashi really did go in your relationship."

"Are you serious right now? You took my virginity," I reminded him of our wedding night. He blushed.

"I know. But that doesn't mean-"

"Are you implying that Kakashi and I had a relationship that went beyond that of just hand holding and kissing? You know I could never and would never do that stuff with anyone but you even if I was dating someone else," I could not believe him.

"So you wouldn't have done stuff with him if I hadn't of come back?"

"You heard Kakashi, yourself. He wouldn't have married me and so we would have done anything like that."

"He says that now but if he had asked you to marry him would you?"

"I don't know. Maybe. What is with you tonight, Sasuke-kun?"

"Nothing," He walked away from shirtless.

"Are you jealous of my and Kakashi's old relationship? That was years and years ago."

"I'm not jealous."

He was. I smirked.

"So if I told you everything about our relationship you wouldn't get jealous?" I asked.

"No," I knew he was lying.

"Well, then I'll tell you. Kakashi used to take me out to nice restaurants if we didn't eat at his apartment. We'd go to the movies and walk the dogs. We would always have fun and deep conversations. It was so nice dating him. But if we didn't go out or anything we would just sit at home and make out. He was such an amazing kisser. He learned so much from those Icha-Icha books. I mean the way he used his tongue…"I could see Sasuke-kun's veins sticking out. I was exaggerated the make out stuff. He did not kiss often.

"He was so amazing," I sighed.

"So he was a better kisser than me?" He asked obviously angry.

"I don't know. It's been a while since you've properly kissed me," I looked away from him.

Sasuke-kun grabbed me and kissed me hard. I loved it. I let my hands go wild in his hair. I loved it. I love it so much. I hated when he pulled away from me. I laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" He asked me.

"You're absurd when you're jealous."

He looked away from me.

"Don't be sore, Sasuke-kun," I cooed to him and pulled him down on me. I kissed him.

"Kakashi and I only kissed like four times while we were dating," I was honest.

"Really?"

"Yes. No one compares to you in this kind of stuff. You're number one," I smiled. He smiled slightly.

"Now kiss me before I go mad," I laughed and he did.
