Sasuke's P.O.V.

It was night time. Sasuke was still sitting his his Mustang. Filled with disbelief and dissatisfaction.

He knew her secrets.

But the thing that got him was that she wasn't even comfortable enough with telling Sasuke any of this. He could see why she didn't tell him about being a stripper. That was just embarrassing for a high school student to tell someone they're a stripper.

Wait…

She's underage.

How the hell did she pull that off?

Fake ID maybe?

He could see too why she didn't mention the miscarriage either. But why did she beat herself until she lost the baby?

It was innocent.

Maybe she was trying to save it from her mother's abuse?

But still, it was innocent.

But the fact that she lied about Riri.

She didn't have to lie about that.

What? Did Sakura think he was going to criticize her about it?

He did come off as a jackass sometimes but he would of understood.

Teen pregnancy happens hell.

Riri was the spitting image of Sakura. How could he not have noticed?

But why hide that?

Sasuke needed answers. He needed to question Sakura about this.

Damn. She might not even speak to him again if that was the case. He sent a Private Investigator on her.

He would just wait until things cooled down to break the news to her but she seemed as if everything he did was a problem.

She completely had a meltdown in the middle of them having sex.

The Uchiha was so confused with her. Why did she attack him?

What was going on in her head?

She wouldn't open up to him.

He told her how he felt over a thousand times.

He even gave her and Riri a place to stay.

What the hell was it?

The light bulb went off in Sasuke's head.

'No way in hell she's in love with Riri's dad?' He thought. 'Couldn't be. If that was the case she would be with him still.'

Sasuke noticed that the entire time he knew Sakura she never mentioned Riri's dad.

Hell.

She didn't even mention that was her child.

'Is that why she flipped out on me? Why she refuse to open up to me? Because of Riri's dad?'

He had to figure out who the father was. Damn Kabuto. He didn't want to have to pay him again. He didn't even want to go up there. He didn't want to see Orochimaru's face ever again.

'That bastard. Because of him I nearly died.'

Sasuke went back over Sakura's medical records. There was a copy of a birth certificate.

It was Riri's.

He went over it carefully.

The father wasn't even listed.

So much for the easy route.

Did he bail out on Sakura when he found out she was pregnant?

Sasuke grabbed a hold of the pictures again. The more he looked at them the more pissed he got.

She was shaking her ass for all those grown men like it was okay or something.

They probably touched her and more.

Sasuke shook the thoughts away. It wasn't time for him to get jealous.

He studied the pictures for any clues.

There it was.

A sign.

Literally a sign in one of the photo's.

It was a sign right above the performance stage.

It said Torei's.

Sasuke took out his phone and googled it.

It was definitely a strip club.

Sasuke put in the address into his GPS and headed to the club.

It said the owner was a man named Jiraiya.

'Whoever this Jiraiya guy is better give me answers.'

When Sasuke pulled up to yet another destination he peeked at the clock on his radio.

6:45pm

Great. All he needed when he headed home was to hear Izumi's mouth. She treated him like she was his older sibling. But Sasuke never minded that. Izumi was always in the family, even before Sasuke was three of them grew up together. She was always there. The good and bad times.

Sasuke walked up to the front door of the club. The building looked deserted. Maybe it wasn't opened yet. Sasuke grabbed the doorknob and turn it. Sure wasn't locked.

The Uchiha proceeded inside of the club. The club was empty.

'Someone has to be here. Doors don't unlock themselves.'

Sasuke walked to the back which led him to a dark hallway that was barely illuminated by red lights. He saw the door and the end of it. He made his way to it. He put his ear to the door and listened for any sound. There was a few mumbling sounds of a man and a woman talking. Sasuke continued to listen to their conversation.

"Cherry is my friend! WHY hasn't she been coming to work?" The woman yelled.

"Ino I don't know! She just quit without letting me know anything." The man said sounding irritated.

"You can't lie to me Jiraiya! You have to know SOMETHING!" She yelled.

'That's him!' Without thinking Sasuke barged inside Jiraiya's office.

The older man and the young blonde both stopped in the middle of their argument to Sasuke's direction.

"Hey! Club hours start at 9pm!" Jiraiya yelled pointing his finger at Sasuke.

"You were just the person I was looking for." Sasuke said walking up to his desk.

"You can't just barge up in here like you own the place or whatever." Ino said placing her hands on her hips.

Sasuke brushed her off.

"You're Jiraiya correct?"

"That I am."

"I have some questions about one of your dancers."

"Look, if you're here to file a complaint…."

Sasuke took out his phone and dug through his photos. He stopped right when he found the perfect picture of Sakura and Riri. They were smiling ear to ear. "Did she use to work here?" He said showing the older man the picture.

His eyes grew wide. "That's Cherry! How do you know her?"

"Seriously!?" Ino said snatching the phone out of Sasuke's hand. She gasped. "Where is she?"

Sasuke snatched his phone back and put it in his pocket.

"I go to school with her." Sasuke said looking back at Jiraiya. "And she's my girlfriend."

Jiraiya sat back in his chair as he took a deep breath. "Is that so?"

"Cherry never told me about you. How can she hide such a hunk?" Ino said teasing.

"Her name isn't Cherry. It's Sakura." Sasuke said correcting her.

"Sakura worked here for a few months but then out of the blue she quit without doing a two weeks notice." Jiraiya explained.

"There's more to the story." Sasuke said.

"How so?"

"You aren't telling me everything Jiraiya. I need answers now."

Jiraiya took another deep breath, only this time resting his chin upon his hands. "Some thing are better left unsaid."

"You're playing too many games." Sasuke took a swing at the older man but he was too slow. In an instant, Jiraiya stood up grabbing a hold of Sasuke's arm and pinning him face down on his desk with his arm behind his back. Pain shot up to Sasuke's shoulder. His grip became tighter by the second. For an old man he sure was fast.

Ino backed away from both men. She refused to get involved.

"Now in the next few seconds, I'm going to let your arm go. But if you swing at me again, I will break your it." Just like he said, Jiraiya let go of Sasuke.

He stood up from the desk grabbing a hold of his arm.

"I was trying to save you from heartbreak but since you're so eager to know…" Jiraiya sat back down. "The last time she worked here Sakura and her child both left in a black Chrysler. I was told she left with a regular who always came here just for her. This was all from what a security guard told me."

Sasuke felt his blood boil.

"And who the hell is her regular?"

"Some red haired guy. I don't know the name."

Sasuke stormed out of the office. He felt betrayed. Sakura was messing around on him after all he had done for her.

Before he made it to the door he was stopped in his tracks. Ino came rushing after him.

"What?" He really didn't want to talk.

"Look I know what you're thinking. I highly doubt that Sakura cheated on you." Ino tried to explain.

"Why else would she be getting into a car with a regular customer?"

"I don't know! Maybe she needed a ride home."

Sasuke looked at her with a serious expression.

"Sakura probably had her reasons why she didn't tell you about this job."

"Yeah, well, there's a lot she's not telling me."

"Have you at least tried talking to her. Let her open up to you." Ino plead.

Sasuke just stared at her.

Ino shook her head. "If this will help you out the guy's name is Sasori. That's all I know."

Sasuke opened the front door and walked out.

The regular's name was Sasori.

'Why does that name sound so familiar?'

Sasuke got back in his car and drove off. He was beyond pissed the more he thought about it.

What if this Sasori guy was Riri's father and she was deciding to get back together?

Sasuke's grip on the steering wheel gotten tighter.

How was he going to confront her with all this information? He had to do it in private. He didn't want to cause any problems around Itachi or Izumi. His brother didn't need to intervene into his business and Izumi didn't need any stress on her baby. He didn't even want to talk to her about anything. He just wanted to kick her the hell out of his house. But where would Riri go?

Hell.

Why did she have to have a kid? This would of been so much easier.

It was a quarter to eight when Sasuke made it back home.

He still was upset with all the information he found. His head was pounding like crazy. He put his key in the door and walked into his house. Izumi was sitting on the couch with Sakura and Riri.

Sakura was the last person he wanted to see. Izumi greeted him with a smile.

"Sasuke! Come join us with a movie." She invited.

"Dada!" Riri called out.

Sakura had her head down. She didn't dare look his way.

How Sasuke was feeling it was best if she didn't. He tried his best not to let the asshole in him come out. "Next time Izumi. I'm not feeling too well."

He could see the sadness in her smile. "Okay. I suppose so. Go get you some rest and I hope you feel better in the morning."

"Hn." Sasuke headed up to his room.

It was best to avoid being around Sakura.

He sat down at edge of his bed, trying to process everything he found out.

He felt as if he lost all his trust with Sakura. He loved her so much though. How could he fall in love with someone who would have ended up betraying him?

Sasuke didn't know what he was going to do.

He never felt this hurt before in his life. He put his hand over his chest as he felt the thumping pain inside his heart.

Why does love hurt so much?

Why did she do this to him?

Why?

Sakura's P.O.V.

It was Thanksgiving Day. Sakura and Izumi have been cooking all morning for the holiday. Itachi would have cooked instead but he had a business meeting to attend all morning. Since Izumi was a flight attendant she had the privilege to visit the United States plenty of times. She wanted to celebrate the holiday the same way they did there. Turkey wise that was.

"I must say Sakura, you are a pretty go cook." She said leaning against the counter.

"I had to learn how to cook on my own. I didn't really have a choice." Sakura stared at the dishes in the sink as she cleaned them.

She took a glimpse at Izumi while she wasn't looking. She was glowing so much. Like she was an angel in disguise or something.

Sakura remembered when she was pregnant with Riri. She was only so big because she was swollen from Preeclampsia. Her blood pressure stayed high from stressing out which led her into being induced a month early.

"Can I touch your belly?" She asked looking the pregnant woman.

Izumi smiled."Sure!"

Sakura placed her hands on her rounded belly. She felt how firm and evened out Izumi's belly was.

She seemed pretty huge for only being four months. Sakura continued to rub her belly until she felt small flutters of the unborn moving around. She kept her hand steadily as she felt the movements.

"Wow. Your baby is very active."

"My babies are very active." Izumi gasped as she finished her sentence.

The pink haired girl looked at Izumi in shook. "Babies?"

"Don't tell Itachi. Oh gosh. That was suppose to be a surprise."

"You have my word." Sakura smiled at her. She watched as she placed her hands upon her belly and rubbed it. Izumi loved her babies and they weren't even here yet.

An awkward silence came in between the two.

"So… Any tips on how to get on Itachi's good side?" Sakura asked.

Izumi smirked. "I was waiting for you to ask me that." She said heading to the fridge. She pulled out a pink box with a bakery name written on each side of it. "Itachi is a sucker for sweets. Especially sweets." Placed the box in Sakura's hands. She opened up the box and glared at the treat.

"Sweet dumplings?"

"His favorite. I promise you'll win him over with these."

Both of them heard the front door open and close from the kitchen.

"Speak of the devil…"

Itachi walked into the kitchen, loosening his tie as he walked over to his pregnant wife. He kissed her on the forehead.

"Well I'm glad to know you weren't in your office all day long." Izumi said sarcastically.

"I rather not hear you gripe."

He prepared for the punch his pregnant wife delivered to his upper arm.

He turned and face Sakura who was still holding on to the bakery box.

"Ummm…" Her face flushed. "These are for you Itachi…" She dared not to look at him.

With a surprised expression, Itachi took the box from her. He slowly opened it and widen his eyes and looked over the dumplings. The Uchiha took one out and placed it in his mouth. He chewed the sweet like he was savoring it. He looked at Sakura. Her face was extremely red.

Was Izumi right? Would this help?

"Thank you.." He said as he walked out of the kitchen.

Sakura looked at Izumi dumbfounded. "Sweets?!" She said throwing her hands in the air.

Of course, she couldn't hold in her laugh. "Your face was worth a thousand words."

"I can't believe that worked." Sakura said in amazement. She went peek around the corner into the living room.

There he was.

Sitting on the couch watching the news.

Sharing his dumplings with Riri.

"Looks like it didn't take any effort for Riri to win him over."

"Itachi just have this thing for kids. Which is why when I surprise him with the twins at my next appointment he's going to flip." She said looking down at her belly once more. "He didn't make it to the first ultrasound. I was a little upset until I found out about the twins. Now I can shock him with the uttermost surprise."

"I'm sure he'll be satisfied with them." Sakura said. The oven timer went off. The pink haired girl went over and retrieved the two pies that were now done baking.

"Now we can get ready for the dinner." Izumi said taking off her apron.

"Get ready?" Sakura looked at her confusedly.

"You never dressed up for the holidays?"

"Not really…." Sakura only had decent happy holidays when he dad was still alive. And those memories were faint. She couldn't even remember what he looked like. Only his green eyes that she was blessed with.

"Well I'm going to do you a complete make over. How does that sound?" She looked at her with those onyx orbs of hers.

"Okay. Sounds good to me."

The pregnant woman squealed. She grabbed Sakura's hand and made it upstairs to her bedroom. She was out of breath as she made it to the top. Sakura helped her out as much as she could. "These stairs will be the death of me soon enough."

"You might not have to worry about going the full 40 weeks if the stairs are going to be your daily exercise." Sakura chuckled.

"As long as I have an easy labor. And don't have to go through a c-section." Izumi chuckled.

They finally made it to their bedroom.

Their bedroom was huge.

And neatly organized.

It was beautiful.

California King sized bed with a ruby red silk comforter with black and white pillows and a cherry wood bed frame. High ceilings. The wall that was opposite from the bed was coal black with the design of cherry blossom petals flowing ever so elegantly.

"I think I have the perfect dress for you Sakura." She said walking into her closet. The closet was full of expensive clothes and shoes. The closet was deep as if it was a mini room.

Izumi went through her side of the closet for five minutes before she gasp in excitement.

"This. Is. Perfect!" She came out with a dress.

Sakura looked at the dress with wide eyes.

"Go try it on. I hopefully it fits."

Sakura took the dress and went into the bathroom to change. She looked at herself in the mirror.

The dress was a carmine red. It was strapless that showed off her chest but wasn't too much showing her breast. It stopped right above her knees revealing her slim thick legs. The dress was loose but it still brought out her slim waist, her hips and her bottom. She looked at her revealing skin.

Her scars. They were visible. She hated them.

Sakura heard a knock on the door. Izumi eased herself in. She smiled as she looked at Sakura.

"You are gorgeous in that color." She saw the slight sadness in her emerald eyes. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing…" She hoped that Izumi couldn't see through her lie. Her scars were bothering her. She always wore clothes to cover them. Never revealed any skin because she hated the fact of people staring at her.

"Well… Can't wear a dress like that without some makeup and a hair style. Come on."

She pulled Sakura to her direction.

Izumi sat her down at her vanity. She took the hairbrush and brushed out her soft pink hair. She slightly parted her hair and began to braid her hair in a crown braid. She left out her bangs as she took the bobby pins and pinned the braid in place. Once Izumi was done with her hair she then proceed to start on Sakura's makeup. She felt all the brushes dance along her face. Back at the strip club Sakura just did minor makeup. Lipstick, eyeliner and mascara.

Izumi finished spreading the lipstick on her then backed away. "You can open your eyes now."

Sakura looked at herself. She was amazed. She looked like a model. She had smokey eye shadow that brought out her eye color even more. Her cheeks were flushed pink and her lips were a nude beige color. She looked down at her chest and didn't see a single scar.

"Concealer works in ways. I figured you didn't want people staring." The pregnant woman said.

"I'm going to get ready. If you don't mind waiting for me Sakura. I don't want to be stuck on the staircase." She let out a laugh as she grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom. "There's a jacket and some shoes on the bed for you. I hope you like them." She said closing the door.

Sakura stood up from the vanity and walked over to the bed. It was a light brown leather jacket and a pair of black flats that sat on top. She put them on and walked back over to the vanity mirror. She looked beautiful. She started to feel beautiful. Sakura placed her hands on her chest.

'You're still beautiful in my eyes.' Sasuke told her that when he first saw her scars. He didn't look at her with disgust or hate. He called her beautiful.

Beautiful…

Sakura felt the pain in her heart. She treated Sasuke bad. Like he was the one who did everything wrong to her when he really just wanted to love her. And he treated Riri so kindly. Riri loved him to the point where she called him her Dada.

Sasuke was special.

Special to Riri.

Special to her.

Special in her heart.

She thought back at their night. He wasn't trying to hurt her but make love to her.

Something she never experienced.

He loved her.

Sasuke loved her.

And Sakura was starting to believe…

That she loved him too.

Sasuke's P.O.V.

It was Thanksgiving. Another holiday that Sasuke dreaded. Ever since his parent's passed holidays just weren't the same.

Izumi was doing the best she could to try and keep the rest of the family together. Little di she know it fell apart years ago.

Sasuke dressed himself in a white v-neck and dark jeans with dress shoes. He put on a smokey gray jacket that he left unbuttoned and a red napkin sticking out the pocket.

Every year he wasn't in the mood for the dinner but with everything going on now he really didn't want to be bothered.

He felt his phone vibrate. Sasuke took it out his pocket and unlocked it. A slight smirk came on his face.

He made his way downstairs and to the front door.

He opened it to a certain blonde knucklehead and his Hyuga date. Naruto was dressed a orange collared button down shirt with black slacks. Hinata wore a simple white laced dress that went down to her ankles with her hair up in a bun.

"Dobe."

"You must want a battle early during the day."

"Hn."

He stepped aside and let the couple in. Itachi walked into room holding onto the small child. She was dressed in a soft blue dress with white stockings and black shoes. Her pink hair was put up in a high bun with a silk ribbon tied around it.

"Dada!" She yelled out kicking her legs. Itachi put Riri down and watched her run up to his brother.

Sasuke picked her up. Her big green orbs were filled with love. This child wasn't Sakura's sister but her own daughter. She carried her for nine months and gave birth to her. The thought of another man touching her ticked the Uchiha off. He had to brush it off. Now wasn't the time. He had to confront her about it in private.

"Dada? You're playing daddy now Sasuke?" Naruto said nudging him with his elbow.

He narrowed his eyes and glared at the blonde.

'From the outside in I'm the damn stepdad.'

"Naruto!" Izumi yelled out as she wobbled over to them.

"Izumi! Whoa… You're huge!" He yelled out in excitement.

"This is only the beginning." She said hugging him.

Sasuke looked over as he heard light footsteps enter the room. His onyx eyes grew wide as he looked at her. She looked so beautiful. Like an angel from above. Onyx eyes met with emerald.

She blushed as they made eye contact.

Hinata walked over to her best friend and gave her a hug. "You look beautiful."

"So do you Hinata." She said giving her a half smile.

Sasuke just wanted to drop everything and steal her away but the thought of other men looking and touching her half naked body built up the rage inside of him.

"Well…" Izumi started. "Since everyone is here now, let's go ahead and have dinner."

"Good. Because I am starving!" The blonde yelled out.

Everyone walked over to the dining room. Itachi and Sasuke went place all the food on the table as Izumi and Sakura went set the plates and the utensils.

Everyone sat down and began to chow down.

There was silence for a few minutes until Izumi broke it.

"So. You guys are about to graduate in a few months. What's the plan?" She said taking a sip of her drink.

"I'm going join the army right after I graduate!" Naruto answered. "I already took my ASVAB and scored a 65."

"That's shocking of you." Itachi commented. "Those drill sergeants are going to have some fun with you because of that big mouth."

"It's not that bad is it?" Naruto asked now with worry in his voice.

"I was recently accepted to Konohagakure University." Hinata said.

"I knew you could do it." Sakura said with a smile.

"What are you going for?" Itachi asked.

"Nursing. I'm hoping to become a great RN and follow my family's footsteps."

"Nothing wrong with that." Izumi said. "Sasuke did you figure out what you were going to do?"

The raven haired boy looked up from his plate. All eyes were on him.

"College. And work. That's about it."

"What about the company?" The older Uchiha asked as he looked at his baby brother with those red eyes of his.

Sasuke turned back to his plate. "Debating."

"Well Sakura, don't be shy. What are your plans after graduation?" The pregnant woman asked her.

Sasuke looked as Sakura sat there silent. Her mouth opened but not a voice came out. She put her head down, looking at her lap.

"I haven't really thought about that… All honesty." She answered.

"There must be something you want to do. Nothing came to mind?"

"Dancing." Sasuke blurted out.

Itachi, Hinata and Sakura both looked over at Sasuke.

"She should go to school for dancing." He added.

Sasuke saw what looked as if all the blood drained from Sakura's face. Itachi looked at him with a stern, yet, surprised expressing and Hinata looked as if she was nervous.

"Sakura, I didn't know you dance. What do you do? Ballet? Ballroom? Kabuki?" Izumi asked.

"I-I- I don't really dance. It's nothing I would want to pursue in." She said nervously.

Sasuke knew what he was doing. But around dinner wasn't what he was expecting.

"So um... Izumi when are you due again?" Hinata asked trying to change the subject.

Sasuke looked over at her. The Hyuga was her best friend.

She knew.

And was trying to put Sakura back in the safe zone.

'Not on my watch.'

"Sometime in April."

"That's close to Riri's birthday." Sakura said smiling.

"April 15th." Sasuke said. He looked over at Sakura who now looked pale.

"Don't be so surprised. You told me 'your sister's' birthday a few weeks ago."

"I don't recall… I must of forgot about that conversation." She said chuckling.

He could hear the fear in her voice.

'Got you.'

"What's with this tension at the table?" Itachi butted in. "Save it for later."

"Well if people didn't have secrets we wouldn't have to come to this." The younger Uchiha stated.

Everyone was quiet.

"Hey Sasuke. You should do this in private…" Naruto suggested.

"Stay out of this Naruto."

"You should be smart for once and listen to your friend." Itachi said. He was getting pissed by the minute.

"And you should mind your business."

"Watch your mouth little brother."

"Or what?" Sasuke stood up from his chair and walked over to the older Uchiha. He stood up as well. Face to face. "What are you going to do Itachi? Huh? Punish me? Take the car away? Or how about you do me like you did to Mom and Dad?"

That struck a nerve in Itachi.

He cocked his hand back and slapped Sasuke across the face.

"That is enough!" Itachi yelled.

Sasuke tackled his brother, making him fall down onto the table.

Everyone stood away from the table.

He started throwing punches, hitting Itachi in the face.

Itachi grabbed one of Sasuke's fist and pinned it on the table. He kicked Sasuke off of him.

The raven haired boy charged back at him but was too slow. Itachi grabbed him by the neck and chokeslammed him to the ground. Sasuke felt his wind being cut short from Itachi's grasp. His chest felt as if it was inflamed.

Naruto ripped Itachi away from Sasuke then stepped in between the two brothers. "Cut it out guys!"

"You... " He said trying to catch his breath. "You could… have saved them." He started to cough.

"I couldn't." Itachi said.

"YOU COULD HAVE SAVED THEM!" Sasuke yelled. His voice was starting to go hoarse. "You only saved me. Mom and Dad would still be alive if you would have saved them instead of me!"

"I HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE!" Itachi yelled back. "It was either save you or save one of them. I couldn't let you die Sasuke."

The younger Uchiha felt the tears build in his eyes. He held them back. He couldn't show any weakness.

"You weren't the only one seeing them die in that car. Seeing them burn alive. The agonizing pain in their voices. The smell of their burning flesh… You aren't the only one with the images of their death replaying in your head on a daily bases. If I could have saved them too I would have. You have to understand that…"

Sasuke looked out of the corner of his eye. He saw the pink hair girl stand by the table, holding the smaller version of herself.

"You." He pointed at her. "You lied to me."

Her emerald eyes were filled with fear.

"Sasuke-" Hinata started but was cut off quickly.

"Don't try to protect your friend." He said looking at the Hyuga. He then turned his attention back to Sakura. "So are you going to fess up or will I have to do that for you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about…"

"Stop lying already! I already know Riri is your daughter."

Silence filled the room once more.

"How did you…"

"I hired a P.I. You drove me to it."

"You had no right!" Tears fell down her eyes.

"I had every right!"

"Sasuke stop!" Izumi yelled out.

"Not until I find out what I need to know."

"There's nothing you need to know!" Sakura stated.

"Who's Riri's father?"

"What?"

"Who's her father Sakura?!"

"Nobody important…"

Sasuke bawled up his fist. "Stop pissing me the hell off and answer the question!"

"Sasuke stop."

"Why are you protecting him, huh? You love him?"

"Stop…"

"You must still love him. You refuse to open up to me."

"Sasuke…"

"Who is Riri's father?!"

"MY STEPDAD!" She screamed.

Sasuke's eyes widen. He was the uttermost confused. "What did you say?"

"Since you want to know the truth so bad! Riri's father is my stepdad. My mom's ex-boyfriend."

He saw the tears pour down her face. "So that means-"

"I was raped by him!"

Sasuke's heart felt as if it was being torn right out of his chest. He felt like the worst person in the world right now. All this time he thought Sakura was protecting some dude. But she just didn't want him to know the ugly truth.

"He raped me for nearly two years. Every day… My mom… She- she blamed me! Her only child. She started beating me and selling me." She cried out. "You don't deserve to know anything about me because there's nothing good to know!"

Sasuke started to walk up to her.

"DON'T. COME. NEAR. ME."

"Sakura-"

"I don't let people in for a reason! Everyone around me just hurts me! I'm tainted! I hate myself Sasuke! You should have let me die when I had the chance…" Her voice faded. Her breathing became heavier. She grabbed a hold of her chest.

Sasuke ran over to her catching both her and Riri.

The small child began to cry for her mother.

Izumi made it over to Sakura's side. "Itachi call an ambulance! She's hyperventilating." She took Riri into her arms.

Sasuke watched her as she began to heave.

He didn't know what to do.

He couldn't help her.

Sakura was having a panic attack...

So some people suggested that I should make an Instagram account for my page. Uhhhhhhhhhhh I'll think about it. If you really want me to PM me about it. Please review.
