Here is the next chapter still have some edits here and there hopefully, everyone enjoys.

Chapter 14

"Then… He's not your." Sarada yelled after shooting up from her seat, causing a mini scene at the restaurant; as the customers eating around her, stopped what they were doing to look back at her bizarrely.

Sarada recognizing her outburst had disturbed the people eating around her, on top of drawing some unwanted attention to herself; caused her to lower her head apologetically to them all, before quickly sitting down herself letting them get back to their individual meals.

"Ah… Sorry," she apologized too the waitress personally next. "It's just I saw him showing… I mean buying a ring the other day and flowers, and I just thought you were his fiancé he told me mentioned about," Sarada admitted before the waitress finally spoke up.

"Oh I understand now… Well about that, to be honest I had been nagging Daichi into taking a chance and finally purposing to a woman he had been seeing for a long time. Things seemed to be going really well for the two of them and she is truly an amazing woman… But I found out yesterday from her that apparently Daichi had broken things off sometime ago, so I think he never told me this because he didn't want to disappoint me; and him showing me the ring was probably to get me too stop bothering him about it anymore." She spoke while looking at her hands.

"Really?" Sarada said while surprised by her admission, as she now knew he had to be lying about other things as well.

"He's a stupid one sometimes… "The female said while huffing loudly. "But I guess looking at it now I just don't think he ever loved her as much as she loved him. I think his heart still belongs to his first love, he had back when he was young," she added in next, before taking a drink of her own water.

"First love?… Could you tell me a little more about him?" Sarada asked, as she wanted to find out if there was any other secrets to the man.

"I must say it's nice to see your interest in him… is it… is this possibly a crush over the doctor that you have?" she asked before giving Sarada a big wink.

"Eh? No way!… I mean I just figured the more I know about him the better I can understand him and..." She said while holding back her disgust over the question.

"Okay… Okay I guess you are kind of young to be interested in boys let alone a grown man, but I'm sorry I'm afraid there's not too much to tell you … I better get back to..." The waitress said before being interrupted by Sarada grabbing a hold of her hand. Since the Uchiha didn't want to accept this, as she quickly tried to persuade her to speak more.

"Wait…" Sarada paused as she felt herself become physically sick, over what she was about to say next; since she needed the waitress to tell her more.

"Sorry… Maybe I do… li…ke him and just want to get to know him better…You said you are cousins right? at least could you tell me what he was he like as a kid?" Sarada asked hoping the question would open her up to talking more.

"Well…" The waitress spoke hesitantly, before finally sitting back down. "I don't know too much about his early childhood… Like you said we're cousins, but I guess it's worth mentioning we aren't actually blood related. From what my parents have told me Daichi was a pretty troubled kid, always getting into trouble and very rebellious; but it's to be expected with his background." She paused while looking down.

"His background?" Sarada questioned while tilting her head.

"Umm… You seem like a really smart girl, so I'm sure you can understand the impact of losing a parent or someone dear to you could have. Well poor Daichi lost his birth parents at a really young age, and he was on his own for a while; eventually my Aunt and Uncle adopted him and tried to raise him as their own for a while. But unfortunately they too passed away and later after that Daichi came to live with me and my family." she spoke somberly.

"I'm sorry to hear about your family… What happened… To his parents?" she asked cautiously.

"I'm not sure of the assorted details when it comes to his birth parents, but for my Aunt and Uncle… I know to this day Daichi still feels responsible for their deaths. You see it happened around the time Daichi was ten or so, and someone had broken into my aunt and uncle's home late at night; strangely the robbers didn't take anything but while defending Daichi my aunt and uncle were unfortunately killed, while poor Daichi was left for dead after being injured in the attack.

While the ones responsible were never caught for what they did, the whole thing still makes me wonder; what kind of person could have done that to my aunt and uncle, they were truly wonderful people and would have help any one in need... And for Daichi the injuries he received in the attack that night were so severe he had honestly been on the brink of death, but by an act of god he was able to be saved by a young ninja that performed emergency medical treatment on him ultimately saving his life.

Shortly after all of that happened and he recovered after being nursed back to health, Daichi then came to live with me and my family; since we were the closest things to family to him." The waitress paused while sitting back in her seat reflecting over the painful incident; however Sarada seeing her suddenly chuckle caused her eyebrows to knit in confusion over the change in her behavior.

"Sorry to laugh its just …I was thinking about how Daichi ceases to amaze me, you figure going through something like that would make him scared or withdrawn from the world. But after that, he seemed to have a goal a true purpose in spite of what he went through.

He even told me not long after, that he wanted to help people and make them better and he almost became obsessed with becoming a doctor. But I believe the main reason was do to the young ninja that helped him." she added with a grin.

"Young ninja?" Sarada said to herself before recalling to her conversation back with Daichi.

Flashback

"You know Papa and Mama have been together a long time, since they were kids even." She added in to make sure he was aware she was a married woman.

"Yes I know… I actually met your mother once when we were children, I don't think she remembers me though but I remember her." Daichi said in a reminiscent voice.

"Eh? You knew mama that long ago?" Sarada asked as she was more then surprised to hear it.

"Yes she's a wonderful woman your mother is, though I recall at the time your father didn't pay much attention or show interest in her at least the way I saw it. So I'll admit I'm surprised she ended up with him in the end." He spoke carelessly while keeping his eyes away from Sarada's.

Sarada scrunching her face at him almost bad mouthing her father, was shocked to hear him say such a thing especially to her of all people. However seeing him turn to face her finally, Sarada watched as his face quickly changed to an apologetic one as he waived his hands around frantically.

"Ah Gomen I don't mean anything malicious by that, I'm sure he's a good man to her… Anyway I need to go you'll be okay waiting for your mother right?" he asked before walking past her causing Sarada to watch him with an upset face.

End Flashback

"Mama?..." Sarada said next grabbing the waitress's attention as she looked at her.

"Ah…Never mind me it's nothing," Sarada spoke jokingly as she tried to continue on," The young ninja did he ever tell you who it was?" she asked next.

"No he never did but… I'd like to think I'm pretty perceptive at times, so I have an idea who it is now in fact he actually came here the other day with a pretty doctor so I think it's her… her name was Sakura." She said with a big smile.

Sarada hearing her mothers name being said, as she instantly froze up found her eyes grow in size with having now concrete confirmation of what she had always suspected; however before leaving the restaurant as she grabbed at her pocket. Sarada pulling out the picture she had with her, decided to ask the female about it next; since it was still troubling her why Daichi had it from the beginning.

"Thank you for telling me a little bit about Daichi, I had one more question if you don't mind; I happened to find this… Do you know anything about it?" she asked before handing over the image to the waitress.

"This picture?" The waitress said with surprise of her own just looking at image.

"Sorry it's just I came across this and before I gave it back I was just curious to see if you knew who the boy was?" Sarada asked next.

"I don't know the girl… But this is Daichi before he came to stay with us." She said while tilting her head.

"Daichi? But how he doesn't look anything like this boy?" Sarada said not understanding how it could be him.

"Oops !…." she spoke after putting a hand over her mouth, making Sarada look at her worriedly.

"Ah man, Daichi would kill me if you knew I told you this he doesn't like anyone to know … But I guess since the cats out of the bag and just between me and you. This is how he looked before he had reconstructive surgery on his face." She paused, while she could see Sarada visibly shocked by the news.

"He didn't say why he needed the operation done; I think it was to maybe boost his confidence." She said before handing the picture back to Sarada.

Sarada thinking back to Daichi's features as she recalled seeing him the very first time, how eerily perfect he seemed to look; shot up from her seat once again. But this time in need to leave to go speak with her mother now, that she had enough information to confront Daichi once and for all.

"Sorry I really need to go I'm actually running late for something, but thank you again for speaking with me I know exactly what to get him. Oh I'm sorry I never got your name?" Sarada asked after putting the picture away.

"It's Saori… What was your name?" The waitress asked in response. "It's Sarada" she replied before bowing and rushing off.

"Oh…Okay bye Sarada-chan come see me again if, you need anything else… good luck." She spoke to her with a smile.

Hospital

"I think she's okay for now," Sakura said after finally getting her patient under control, after a dangerous spike in her high fever.

"Sakura-san you are truly wonderful," A nurse assisting her spoke after taking over in monitoring the female's vitals, Sakura wiping away some beads of sweat from her soaked forehead; before giving a weak smile at hearing the comment found it fade completely. At seeing next from the other side of the pulled curtain, the female's boyfriend rushing out of his bed to be by his girlfriend's side despite his sickened condition.

"Please sir you need to rest," Another nurse spoke after struggling to get him back in bed.

"Erina!" The man called out towards his girlfriend, as she was heavily unconscious.

Sakura stepping back at seeing the man holding tightly onto his girlfriend's hand, as he wouldn't be persuaded to get rest or leave her side; caused her to remember back to her and Sasuke, after seeing the strong display of affection of the young couple shared.

Flashback (Chapter 5.)

Grabbing a hold of the shower curtain with one hand, after initially holding onto Sasuke after he had lifted her up against the cool shower wall; Sakura biting down on her bottom lip hard forcing it to momentarily turn white under the pressure of her teeth, let out a low gasp under Sasuke's ministrations; as he rocked her up and down in conjunction, with the running water soaking their bodies much to her pleasure.

Sakura trying to catch her continually escaping breath, while she found her mind beginning to go blank; closed her eyes happily next since she had missed the feeling of being this close to him among other things. However wanting to take things somewhere else, as she began to kiss Sasuke once more; Sakura pulling her lips away more slowly while using her hands to grab at the sides of his face, got his physical attention as she found herself panting breathlessly just as much as him.

"We should take this to the bedroom," she spoke huskily, as Sasuke seemed to be in agreement after nodding his head before placing it up against hers gently.

Turning off the water before the two stepped out of the shower, Sasuke walking into the bedroom first while he dried his body and damp locks; sat down on the bed impatiently waiting, before seeing Sakura finally making her way out of the steamed filled bathroom as well. However Sasuke noticing a devilish smirk come over her face the moment he made eye contact with her as she tilted her head in response; watched on as she promptly dropped her towel to the floor first, before stepping over it next while she made her way over towards the Uchiha in a painfully slow manner.

However walking towards her husband, after seeing his anxiousness for her to get closer too him, Sakura soon straddling Sasuke's lap with her naked frame once she was close enough; wrapped her arms around his wide shoulders for support next, as she continued to keep unmoving eye contact with Sasuke as he seductively did the same.

Sakura next feeling Sasuke's hand come up on the small of her back hotly, before pulling her in closer much to her delight. Felt him next caress her cheek before running his hand through her damp pink hair, as his additional attention to detail and softness of his touch; made her hunger for him more as she decided to push him back on the firm bed, without much resistance from him.

However Sasuke feeling the same need for her, since he wanted to get started immediately where the two had left off of in the shower; instead switched places slyly with his wife, before spreading her legs apart and thrusting into her causing him to grunt at being reconnected with her once again.

Sakura smiling at this as she allowed Sasuke to do what he wanted with her body, instinctively wrapped her legs around his lower half next; while she relished in him not holding back in his desire, as his thrust were powerful and demanding making her to throw her head back in bliss while there bodies naturally did all the work. However as Sasuke's pace slowed and she felt him recapturing her lips in messy kisses, Sakura feeling his hand reach up to cup hers; made the Uchiha pay close attention to the intertwining of their fingers, since she had longed for them after him being away for such a long time.

End Flashback

"What is happening with her? You said there was nothing to worry about." The male yelled at Sakura catching her off guard, as she mentally came back to reality.

"Please …We are doing what we can," The nurse tried to explain on Sakura's behalf, since she hadn't responded to the man's questions directly.

Sakura however looking at the man blankly, after recalling her personal alone time with Sasuke; triggered by merely watching the male clutching onto his girlfriend's hand tightly. Could see for herself the he was not going to accept the nurse's earlier response to him, as he kept his eyes fixed on her obviously wanting her to respond back to him. Sakura understanding of the man's reasonable anguish as she stepped closer to him, tried to reassure him while being honest; since she was going to do everything in her power to help the both of them.

"Gomen… I know your upset, but the truth is she's very sick and you are too. I don't know if I can heal you both, but I will do everything in my power to find out what this is and get you both better... That's a promise." Sakura said firmly since she didn't want to hide the truth from him, since now would be a critical time for the two too enjoy the time they had possibly left together if she failed.

The man stopping as he looked at her before lowering his own head down, didn't say a word more before he turned to his lover; while brushing some hair away from her eyes before coughing himself.

"You can't help her as you are now, so please rest I'll be back to check on you in a bit." Sakura said with a straight face, before leaving the room, as the nurse from before helped the man back into the bed.

Shutting the door from behind her, while she found herself breathing out noisily; Sakura rubbing her temples once again, found strangely the couple's case affecting her more than the others. Since she felt beyond frustrated she couldn't do more for them, especially considering if something like this were to happen to her and Sasuke. Sakura finding a tear roll down her cheek randomly in her thinking, before hearing next someone calling out her name, made the Uchiha wipe her cheek; as she continued to keep a strong appearance in spite of how she was feeling.

"Sakura-san, there you are," she heard, as someone came up to her with a notepad.

"Lilly, yes how can I help you?" she answered with a forced smile.

"I just wanted to remind you, that you were added to the scheduled autopsy for Mr Ito in thirty minutes, with Daichi." She said while checking through her papers.

"Yes thank you," She spoke while taking the paper she had handed off to her.

"Okay I was on my way to let him know now…Oh by the way I thought you may want to know there is a patient we have today that says she's a friend of yours." Lilly added while marking off something on her papers.

"Friend?" Sakura asked confused by the news.

"Yeah it's the Nanadaime's wife… Uzumaki Hinata." She answered.

"Hinata? Where is she now?" Sakura questioned after her eyes got larger.
