"Okay, so I sang the pokemon theme song at the top of my lungs the other say, and no one wanted to sing with me! Like seriously, what the hell kind of person doesn't know the pokemon theme song!?" - Me

Chapter 21

"So what do we do?" I asked him.

"We stay for the rest of our honeymoon," Sasuke replied with a smile.

"Sasuke…" I muttered appreciatively.

"You really weren't okay with it, were you?"

"Of course I was! Work is work! I understand! I can be a man once in a while too Sasuke!"

Sasuke smiled.

He knew as well as I did that I wasn't okay with it at all.

"Sasuke…"

"Yes?"

"I don't know if I want to stay here. I want to see my brother. I want to be with him."

"Saki, I honestly don't think that's good for you at this moment."

"But-"

"Shush." He kissed my forehead lovingly, cradling me in his arms. Then I couldn't help myself. I kissed him deeply on the lips.

"Sasuke… you wouldn't leave me, would you?" I asked him quietly as I unbuttoned his shirt.

He abruptly pulled away from me. "No, where'd you hear that?"

"Sakura."

"Well Sakura's a bitch."

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

Sasuke kissed me passionately. "Yes."

I smiled awkwardly, pushing Sasuke up the stairs and onto the bed. "Well I love you even more now."

"I can't say that's a bad thing," He told me with a devious smirk.

I awoke the next morning feeling refreshed. Sasuke's arm was tight around my waist and we were both wrapped up in our silk bedsheets. I turned to face Sasuke, and his eyes were wide open. I jumped up in alarm, scared out of my wits. When I realized I was naked, I grabbed the sheets, pulling them to the floor with me. Sasuke was then uncovered, but he didn't seem fazed.

"Were you… watching me sleep?" I asked him, raising one eyebrow incredulously.

"Yes," He replied blankly, sitting up and stretching.

"You little stalker!"

"I'm your husband."

"You're still a stalker."

"Whatever." He started to pull on some boxers and pants.

"You're creep-yyyy." I used a sing-song voice.

He pulled on a shirt, buttoning it up slowly.

"Sasuke's a creeeep-er!"

He slipped on his shoes, grabbed his coat and started walking. "Sasuke doesn't caaaaare," He sang back, walking out the door.

I scrambled up and got dressed in a pink thick-strapped tanktop and jean shorts with white flip-flops. I bolted down the stairs after Sasuke.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"To the resort office." His expression was blank.

"The big log building thingy?"

"Sure."

"Can I come?"

"I suppose."

So we (well, I) marched along the road to the big log building. I was excited to go; maybe they would offer me Yoga classes again.

"Hey Sasuke…" I muttered without realizing I was saying my thoughts aloud.

"Yes?" He asked, looking over his shoulder at me. Okay, well I had to say something, so I just said what was on my mind.

"If you had a midlife crisis would you leave Mizuki and I to ravel the world and fall in love with an 18-year-old stewardess on a train going to Malawi?" I asked him innocently.

His face looked confused, and then it softened considerably. "No. If I had a midlife crisis, I would realize that I had devoted too much time to work during my honeymoon with my wife, and I would say sorry a thousand times over." I smiled. Just what I needed to hear.

A worker approached us with a warm inviting smile on her face.

"Oh, hello Mrs. Uchiha, are you back for y-"

"It's Mrs. Kumagaya."

"Oh, my apologies, Mrs. Kumagaya, would you like to do some Yoga today?"

I looked at Sasuke expectantly and he nodded approvingly. I squealed with glee.

"Of course!" I yelled with a faint smirk. For once, I was being a good liar.

I started to walk off with the worker when Sasuke walked off to do god knows what.

"Sasuke!" I called after him. "After Yoga I'm planning to do some shopping, and I may not be back until late!"

"K!" Sasuke yelled after me, leaving. I turned to the worker.

"Actually, I've changed my mind, I'll just start my shopping right now." The attendant smiled.

"If that's what you want to do."

I smiled back and I ran off, feeling devious. I went to our cabin-thingy and I got ready in my best "I'm visiting my lost brother of 16 years" look. I put on a nice wrapped top that spoke "I'm a mother of one, but I'm still hot", an Uchiha Symbol necklace that spoke "I'm the newest Lady Uchiha, you have a problem with that?", a pair of nice skinny jeans that said "Yeah, that's right, I can still pull off skinny jeans" and some heels that said "I know my shit, so don't mess with me." I smiled at my appearance, grabbing my purse and walking out the door.

I half-jogged to the train station, hoping Sasuke didn't see me, and as soon as I got there, I bought a one-way ticket to Konoha and got on a train.

In the same car as me were about three other people. One man with gray hair and a suit reading a newspaper, he looked like he was on business. The other two were a couple wearing a flowered shirts and cowboy hats. Thye must have been on their honeymoon too.

"So dearie, what were you doing at Moonlight Resorts?" The woman asked me. I could almost hear that man in the suit rolling his eyes. He seemed like the type to hate chit-chat.

"I was there with S- I was just looking."

"Really?"

Her husband raised his eyebrow.

"Okay, I was there with my husband, who I told I was going shopping, but I'm actually returning to Konoha to see my long-lost-brother of 16 years, who's in the mental ward." God, how I wished I could say that.

"Yes," I told them blankly. "Looks like a nice place."

"Dear, if you don't mind me saying, you look rather beat up," The woman said. I smirked half-heartedly.

"You could say I've had a rough week."

"Tell us what happened."

"It's nothing."

"It is not nothing. Is it your love life?"

"Well, not really, but kind of."

"Are you engaged but now he's having second thoughts?"

"It happened to us, but we got over it soon enough," The man explained.

"Well, it's not that. Sasuke was really exited for our wedding, moreso than me. He's one of those traditional guys that takes you to musicals and stuff."

"Was excited for your wedding? So you're already married?"

"With one kid."

The woman gasped. "You look much to good to be a mother."

"Thanks. I tried really hard to get rid of the pregnancy weight."

"Was it a girl? They say girls give you the most." I had never heard that before. I doubt it was even true.

"Yes, she's a girl. About two years old."

"Must be an angel."

"She is. I'm going to go see her now."

"Is she from a past relationship?" God these people are nosy.

"No. Mizuki's both mine and Sasuke's."

"Sasuke…where have I heard that name…?" The man whispered.

I heard suit-guy sigh and he put down his paper. "Sasuke Uchiha. The Uchiha legacy."

"You're the police chief's wife? The new Lady Uchiha?" The woman asked.

"Your daughter being the heir to the family?" The man put in.

"Saki Uchiha, formerly Kumagaya?" The woman added.

I nodded. "That's me. Except I didn't take the Uchiha name. I'm still Kumagaya. But I don't mind if people call me Lady Uchiha."

"I had no idea you were so… young…" The woman whispered. "Lady Uchiha."

"I'm the same age as Sasuke."

"Oh. Oh!"

"Did you hear about that crazy man that's after Sasuke?" The woman asked. I gulped.

"Err… no…" If I said yes it would just remind me.

"Well it's all over the tabloids," The man added. Suit-guy passed me the paper.

I scanned it over. Blablabla… crazy man…useless-useless-useless…Saki Kumagaya…angel… Mizuki Uchiha.

My heart skipped a beat and I swear my life stopped for a second.

"'Mizuki Uchiha, daughter of the couple, is also being targeted by the madman, whose name we have agreed not to say. He is currently resting in the Konoha mental ward,'" I had to read it out loud to reassure myself that it was there.

"Oh, honey," The woman cooed, walking across the moving train unsteadily and wrapping her arms around me.

The first thing I did when I got off the train was run to a quite spot and phone Hinata and Kiba.

Brrrring

Brrrring

"Hello?" Hinata's voice chirped.

"How's Mizuki?"

"Fine. Why do you ask?" He voice sounded stiff and robotic, like she was hiding something.

"I know all about it, Hinata."

"Oh." She sighed in relief. "Well, Mizuki's been fine, Kiba's been staying home from work just to be near her."

"He doesn't have to do that."

"I don't think you or I can stop him." I smirked. That's Kiba for you.

"Well, you know…that crazy…man?"

"Yes."

"He's my brother."

I heard Hinata gasp.

"And I'm in Konoha right now, on my way to see him and convince him not to kill my entire family." I badly wanted to tell her, but I wouldn't let myself. "Yeah, well, just checking up on Mizuki. See you later."

I hung up before Hinata got to say goodbye, and I called Sakura. She answered within seconds.

"Sakura?"

"SAKI!?"

"Yeah…"

"Ohmygod it's Saki!" She seemed to be telling other people.

"Sakura can I ask you a favour?"

More yelling came.

"Sakura?"

More yelling.

"SAKURA!"

"Yes, Saki?"

"Are you at work right now?"

"…Yes."

"Can you do me an itsy-bitsy favour?"

"He may not respond well… I'll stay just outside the door," Sakura warned before I went in.

I stood in the doorway, staring down at him. He had tousled brown hair and strong cheekbones. He looked about 27, which is what I thought was his age, but you never know. I smirked as I walked closer, wanting to just reach out to him, or something.

He looked somewhat like me, with the hair. But that was about it. We had the same nose, though. Just when I was almost at his side, his eyes fluttered open. I thought he was going to start screaming or something but he remained completely calm.

"Who, the fuck, are you?" He asked me curiously.

"Rinji… it's me…your sister… Saki."

"S…Saki…" He seemed to be searching his memory for any recollection of me. "Saki?"

"Rinji… We haven't seen eachother for 16 years, I don't expect you to remember my face, but any reminder of me… anything at all… I know I was only five when you wee taken away… but you have to atleast remember me." I felt the tears coming to my eyelids.

"Of course I remember you Saki. I came here to see you."

I wiped my eyes.

"W-why?"

"To see what had become of you. I heard you had lived… and I wanted too… to see you."

"What about that war? Against Karin and her groupies?"

"Karin's a bitch."

I laughed. "Soo… why are you here? In the mental ward?"

"Because Orochimaru is the devil, and they don't believe me."

"To tell the truth, I can't see it either, besides, he's dead.

"Ah, but you are wrong. He lives on in the Uchiha boy. And part of his life was transferred to the Uchiha Child, and every child he helps create and every woman he is with, it will be passed on until it is spread throughout society and Orochimaru takes over."

"Like a disease."

"Exactly like a disease. And do you know how to treat a disease?"

"Medication?"

"Exactly! My group is the medication eliminating the virus! Once it is eliminated, we will be immune!"

"But, some medication just slows the progress or, or uses the virus to our advantage! What if we could use the virus to our advantage!? Must you take such rash approaches?"

"Saki, no matter what you say, I'm going to kill them. I'm going to kill Uchiha, his stupid kid, and his stupid Uchiha wife that didn't even listen to Karin's warning."

I didn't say anything.

"And I'm going to do it as soon as humanly possible."

I clenched my hands into fists and I felt emotional tears running down my cheeks, stinging my face.

"Rinji. I'm the 'stupid Uchiha wife'."

HEY! I am here and I UPDATE QUICKLY this time!

But alas, that may not be so for the next little while, for I have a job.

TT

I know, depressing, but I am poor and I need it.

So, speak with you soon!

Please review!
