Chapter 21

Sasuke's POV

I stared at the red door for several minutes, absolutely stunned. I had a daughter. A daughter. That night eight years ago. After the dance. I…she…a daughter.

My thoughts were fragmented and inane. My body was numb and my throat was tight. I couldn't believe it.

After standing there like a complete idiot for an unknown period of time, I turned and hopped back on the borrowed bike, sliding the helmet back over my head. I whizzed down streets as fast as I could, reaching the back entrance to Headquarters in a matter of ten minutes. I rested the bike on a pressure plate that slowly sank into the ground, revealing an underground garage. It came to a halt at the bottom and I got off the bike, pushing it to rest beside the others. Naruto and the team stared at me as I handed the helmet to Neji.

"Thanks." He nodded but didn't move otherwise. Naruto stepped forward in front of the rest, as if protecting them.

"Look Sasuke. What makes you think you have the right to come back here? You've been gone eight fucking years. And yet you think you can waltz back in?"

"I'm just here to see Kakashi."

"And what makes you think I'll let you?"

"Don't make me fight you to get upstairs Naruto. I will if I have to."

"Just try it." We stared at each other for several seconds before I heard someone come down the stairs.

"Hey now. Everyone just calm down." Kakashi stepped in between Naruto and I, blocking him from my view and me from his. "I see your back."

"I just need to talk to you and then I can leave and never come back since that's what everyone wants." No one disputed my comment.

"Fine. Follow me."

"But Kakashi…"

"Naruto, on the field you are in charge. In here I am in charge. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir."

"Good." Kakashi turned and walked upstairs. I followed, making sure to brush Naruto's shoulder as I passed.

Later that night

I walked out through the large double doors and out the front entrance, into the night air. I didn't expect to get a warm homecoming but that was harsher than expected. I took off at a sprint, running as fast as possible and reaching the manor once again, in a matter of minutes. I slowed to a stop as I reached the door and sat on the front step. The air was getting colder and I could smell the moisture in it. It was going to rain. He sprawled himself across the front step, prepared to sit and wait. I had to make this right.

Sakura's POV

Keiko suddenly went on alert, staring at the front door. "What is it?"

"He's here again."

"Are you sure?" She raised an eyebrow in my direction and I shook my head. "Of course you are." I stood up and went to the door once more, swung it open and glared down at the Uchiha, lounging across my front step. "Get off the porch." He glanced up at me but closed his eyes again, settling down further onto the step just to piss me off. "I said get off."

"I am prepared to sit here and wait for as long as it takes for you to talk to me again so I can apologize." Thunder rumbled through the sky and I looked up before turning back to the jackass on the porch.

"Fine. Freeze. See if I care." I slammed the door and stormed up to my room. I was not going to let him in.

AN: Alrighty so first and foremost I would like to thank each and every one of you for your patience. I know it took me a long time to update but my personal life has just been hellish lately and shit's been happening.

Second, I would like to apologize for such a short, shitty update. I will update more but this is as much as I could spit out in the free time I was given.

P.S. If you haven't figured out where the daughter came from refer back to Chapter 18:

"So what do you want to do tonight?"

"Be with you."

"Yes I know but…" I lift my head making his raise as well. "What do you want to do with me?"

"Anything."

Hahaha not surprised some of you didn't pick up on that considering that it was like ages ago!

Anywayz enjoy the update and I will be back with more ASAP!
