Chapter 14...
Sasuke sat next to Tenten all night watching her hoping she would just wake up and go back to yelling at him already. He closed his eye's trying to stay awake, since the day of the attack and Shinji's failed plan to end them all he had yet to relax and well even rest. When he slept all he could see was the lifeless body of his first wife bleeding to death, in between those moment's he was stuck reliving the other pains of his past and it was wrecking him. He slowly lifted his head looking back towards the bed again watching her quietly. He would have to leave before Lee woke up and he'd have to hear about how Naruto wasn't going to take thing's easy on him anymore.
He leaned back and rubbed his eye's growing more and more fustrated at the way his life turned out. Why did he have to go back to Konaha when his otherself seemed so happy while here with this woman. It scared him how much he enjoyed being in this villiage to Konaha. When he had arrived with Sakura a while ago he thought maybe it was going to be an amazingly calm and peaceful time but that had changed quickly and he couldn't understand it, a big part of him wouldn't. He frowned as his vision went blurry and suddenly by the edge of Tenten's bed was a figure about his height standing over her darkly.
His first reaction was to try and jump up to confront the person by his first wife but for some reason he sat frozen in the chair as another version of himself stepped from the shadow scowling at him. The other verion of himself was wearing simple dirty tore up farmers clothing with his hair pulled back out of his face in a ponytail. The other version of himself was defiantly one from his memories of being with this woman and he knew he had to be dreaming. The other him crossed his arm's glaring at him the longer he stayed quiet, sasuke raised an eyebrow at his otherself and scoffed.
"Clearly your in my head." He said more to himself then the other. The other him looked back to the resting Tenten and set his hand on her forehead gently looking at her.
"That's obvious but that still doesn't explain why your such a piece of shit." Other Sasuke said cutting him another look, Sasuke stood and clenched his fists.
"I don't want to hear it from you too." He said in a hoarse whisper making his otherself roll his eye's.
"You need to hear it from someone. You married this woman we married this woman and loved her for so many year's after incident or not Sakura should have never been an option, We never loved her...ever and you just settled us with her!"His otherself yelled making Sasuke flinch irritatedly.
"I'm not going to be hearing this I don't care what you have to say it doesn't matter what's done is done I made my choices and here I am ok!" He gritted out threw his teeth trying his best to remain calm, his body growing cold as he looked at his otherself watching Tenten sadly.
"I loved her so much...and all you've done is ruin any chance of us being together again, and my sons how you've treated my sons if you and I weren't one I would have killed you on the spot with ebery ounce of energy I had you know that right?" His otherself told him a serious look in his eye's as he stroked Tenten's hand. Sasuke swalloed roughly trying not to appear fazed by his otherselves words but it was getting to him. This man his otherself was right on some levels in his mind, he never should have been so cruel to this woman who did nothing but care for and forgive him time after time of his ignorant assaults and cruelty.
"So your trying to guilt me then that's what this is all about..." He said looking to his former farmer self. The other raised an eyebrow and laughed showing much more emotion then the now version of himself ever would have.
"You shouldn't have someone come to guilt you into doing whats right you should know. I know Sakura manipulated us but we know right from wrong and you took all your anger and confusion out on the love of are LIFE! The one woman who cared about us because of who we were on the inside not because what are name represented or the things we did but because she saw past are damaged bruised outside and gave us a chance. She gave us happiness we never felt and all you've done is destroy her, did you not see how hurt she was inside over all of this? She was losing weight over this look at how sickly she looks." He said pointing to his wives sunkin in collar bones.
This made Sasuke flinch even more as his otherself went in on him more and more.
" You argued over a marriage with Sakura when she was cheating and you should have known..you know you knew. She would come home smelling different the way she would interact with Shinji the fact that you found the pregnancy test in the washroom and knew you hadn't fucked her in MONTHS!. But you still fought for that woman after you had proof your real wife...NO MY WIFE was right there." His otherself yelled making him jump as Tenten stirred in her rest. He stepped back as his otherself just glared him down.
He knew he was right he had a feeling Sakura was doing something when she would come home later from the hospital but he was to arrogant to think it was anything but a way to make him jealous. At some point he knew their marriage was over he could barely stand being around her and all he wanted was peace for himself and his daughter. His arrogance was the end of him and he knew that he needed to calm down and reflect. His otherself left her bed side and stood in front of him seriously.
"All these year's I've been trapped behind that seal trying to yell and break free...that migrane that blinded you the day you married Sakura was me trying to tell you to stop. The day you went on a your first date with her and your vision spotted that was me trying to tell you to go home. Everytime you had these issues it was me wanting to get back to my children and pregnant wife almost 6 YEARS of their lives I had to miss because of that woman and you wanted to argue with are real wife and belittle her because of some false promise from Sakura it was hell!" His otherself snapped clenching his fist's.
" At one point right before you went to Tsunade when you found that test I thought it was my chance to break us from this seal but you fought me and passed out we could have been free but you still tried to fight my sign's. Those flickers of being in the wrong place or seeing brown hair instead of pink al those signs and you fought me. Now look at her she could have died for all we know she could be dying and you're to stubborn to just admit it and get to making thing's right for her are sons and ourselves." His otherself finished his eyes telling Sasuke how angry he was to top his speech.
Sasuke sat back down rubbing his head as his otherself went back to his wife sitting next to her trying his best not to cry over her brokenly.
"I can't fix thing's now she'd never forgive me... those boy's will never forgive me. I never meant for this to happen I never meant to throw her in the way of the attack it was smokey and I was panicked...I thought everyone was dead even the children and I panicked I had flashbacks from the past and I panicked... the only thing I could make out was pink and I thought Tenten was someone attacking her I honestly just couldn't tell." He mumbled his otherself looking at him annoyed.
"She won't see it as an accident she'll see it as what you've told her since the day you came back, you told her she didn't matter and you made it clear to her when you shoved her into harms way for SAKURA" His otherself yelled making him jump and look towards Tenten. He knew she wouldn't wake up this was all in his head so there would be no way she could hear it.
"You don't think I know that! She'll never let me around the boy's or her ever again Hinata had them from me now. They won't believe me that it was an accident, I never meant for this to happen to her." Sasuke said looking down at his hands as his otherself sat beside him.
"It hurts doesn't it?" His otherself asked him as they both watched Tenten slowly roll to her side. Sasuke nodded his head slowly running his hand threw his hair.
"I'm not going to get any further with this with you I've heard what you had to say and I get it I'm a monster and a fuck up who ruined your life now just go away." Sasuke said looking at his otherself defeatedly.
"I want my life back and now's my chance the seals weak we can both feel it Sakura isn't around to force her chakra onto it more so I think if you let me try if we work together we can be the person we need to be you just have to stop being so hard headed first and let it happen." His otherself said optimisticly sasuke looked at him and blinked lost, what would happen to him if this otherself broke the seal how would they become one person when clearly they were completely different people.
"What would happen to us then?" He asked himself as the man smiled and shrugged.
"We'll just have to find out" His otherself said smiling geuinely to him. Sasuke frowned and leaned back resting his head on the back of the chair closing his eye's.
"I'll let you try...this once." He said softly fading into sleep.
Kankuro stood in the lobby of the small hospital walking to towards the room Tenten had been staying in. Gaara had been at another meeting with Naruto and he figured he would stop by to give the woman he had a small crush on flowers. How he regretted not being there that night of the attack, he knew he would have kept her safe but he stayed behind with Gaara to confrence call their sister. Temari had wanted to share with them an update on their nephews daily progress and they hadn't made it to Naruto's home till a little after the fact. He walked to her room and raised an eyebrow at the sleeping Rock Lee in front of Tenten's room.
He knew the man was watching over her because they were afraid of what the Uchiha or well Shinji and Sakura could do again. He shook his head and tapped Lee on the shoulder slowly waking the man up. Rock Lee blinked and jumped surprised he had fallen asleep on guard like this but for day's he was cutting his sleep schedule in half to make sure his sister was safe. Lee looked at Kankuro and blinked confused then stood up quickly.
"Kankuro-san what are you doing here?" He asked looking at the sand nin in front of him holding flowers in his hand bashfully.
"I came to see how she was doing and to drop off some flower's I figured she could use a guest since Hinata is super busy with all the kid's" Kankuro said looking off toward the window a slight blush to his cheeks. Lee smiled and stepped to the side letting him to the door.
"She could use someone to talk to awake or not I'm sure she would love the company." Lee told Kankuro as he nodded his head almost happily, on some level he felt a bit creepy since the two of them hadn't really known eachother and well he was still foggy on how the whole situation between her and the Uchiha happened but he figured the two weren't together so he was going to try anyway's kids or not Tenten was a strong woman and he wanted to maybe start something with her.
What he wasn't expecting when he walked into the room was the Uchiha passed out in a chair by her bed, he turned to Rock Lee a little surprised. Lee jumped into action grabbing the still asleep Sasuke up quicker then Kankuro thought he would. Rock Lee felt like a failure how couldhe let this bastard get past him when he was supposed to be protecting Tenten but all he did was let her be unguarded while he slept. Sasuke's head lolled back as he slowly woke up.
For the first time in the longest time Sasuke awoke with no headache, it was like a big tension was ripped away from him and it was pleasant. That was until he was shaken like a foul by none other then Rock Lee, he knew that meant nothing but trouble and he didn't want to get an earful over him being by his own wife. He froze and opened his eye squinting as thing's became much clearer, the seal must have been broken it had to be because his head wasn't pounding and it felt clearer to think.
"Lee let me go will you?" He asked raising an eyebrow to the man in front of him as Lee frowned and shook his head dragging him out leaving Kankuro behind.
"Oh no were going to Naruto he need's to handle you once and for all. Your never going to hurt her again even if I have to kill you to make sure of it." Lee said dragging them out of the hospital. Sasuke sighed and rolled his eye's letting the smaller green clad man drag him to Naruto's home. Sasuke was excited and he had a clue as to why. he felt like his whole body was vibrating with energy pulsing almost and he was greatful for it. For the first time in a long time he could feel...Actually feel not just go threw the motion's the sun was hot on his skin, Lee was draggin him roughly he felt alive.
Hinata sat outside with Himawari and Sarada on her lap and she went threw a picture book for them while the boy's did their usual of play training and rough housing. She was going to finish with the kid's then go to the Hospital around noon to visit Tenten and let Lee take a break. The poor man was torturing himself even with all the anbu around but they couldn't talk him down from staying by her side. They all knew he felt guilty when he didn't so they were going to let him work thing's out.
So she was a little shocked to see Rock Lee dragging a smiling Uchiha behind him a raged look painted all over his face as they tore up the drive way. Sasuke watched as his older son and Boruto stopped their practice to watch them and Sasuke felt his heart warm his oldest son Shunsuke stood there tall and proud not the small little thing that clung to his leg before he left and it made him feel joyous yet sad he had missed so much. Lee yanked him harder noticing he was watching the kid's
"Come on you don't get to see them." He demanded angerly as Sasuke sighed and let the man pull him past Hinata. Sasuke made a small wave to his daughter and kept walking.
Naruto stood in the living area with Gaara as they went over the last and final plans for the tournament between their men and thing's were going good. He felt a little calmer but he was still on edge over the whole attack from Sakura. She would never be welcome back again to have men try and kill he and his family he would never trust her and when he found her she would be punished to the furthest extent. He looked to Gaara as Lee burst into his home dragging the grounded Sasuke behind him.
He sighed outwordly having enough of these issues with his childhood friend, this was going overboard at this point he told Sasuke that he needed to go back to Konaha and rethink some thing's but he refused to leave his child and he was being stubborn. Naruto didn't know what to do with him he believed his friend when he told him he was lost in his head when the attack happened he knew he'd never try to get Tenten killed he wasn't stupid but it bothered him how easily it was for him to lose himself.
He told him they were going to care for Sarada while he figured himself out but he was not to come around till Naruto said so and to stay away from Tenten but seeing as Lee came bursting in angerly dragging his brother he could tell that Sasuke wasn't listening to that either.
"Naruto-Sama I found him asleep in Tenten's room you need to do something with him seriously because he never listen's he's going to try and kill her again." He said urgently as Sasuke rolled his eye's.
"Naruto I wasn't going to kill my wife." Sasuke said loosely making Naruto look at him a little surprised at how casual he was in the room with two other people.
"Your wife?" Naruto asked a little comically making Lee look at the Uchiha a little confused also. Sasuke ripped himself from Lee's grasp and sat down on the couch across from Gaara. He knew they were going to act a little shocked but he didn't care he finally felt somewhat like himself and he wasn't going to let them bring him down about it.
"I didn't studder now did I dweb?" He said smirking as Naruto noticed his change in attitude, he could tell something happened and he wanted to know what was going on.
"What happened to you Teme?" He asked as Gaara stood and looked to Rock Lee motioning him with him towards outside. Sasuke looked at Naruto and sighed as Naruto sat down in Gaara's spot.
"My seal broke" Sasuke said smiling a genuine smile as Naruto sat shocked, Naruto looked at his friend feeling happy and annoyed at the same time. All this meant was more conflicted emotions and problems for his small little group.
