Chapter 26_Okay, so I'm 2 weeks pregnant…
Sasuke finally felt that he was getting somewhere. After events that happened 2 weeks ago he and Naruto went searching for Gaara.
They had some evidence on him and they had to bring him in. They couldn't find him anywhere, but luckily for Sasuke the red head showed up at his doorstep.
Obviously an early Christmas present.
Gaara was taken to the police department, not without a fight thought, Sasuke had an aching jaw. He was pleased for giving Gaara a black eye in return for assaulting a police officer.
That's not quite how it should be handled, but he made it even.
"So tell us Gaara, why where you near that guy's apartment around the night he was murdered" Kakashi questioned.
He might not look it, but he's a very scary interrogator. "Taking a walk"
"Are you sure? If you tell us everything we could lift some years from your sentence" The silver-haired man bargained.
Gaara stared back coldly. "I was taking a walk"
Kakashi sighed inwardly. He was getting nowhere and fast. "I'll be back"
…
"He still won't talk?" Naruto asked raising a blond eyebrow.
Kakashi shook his head as he sat down on a chair in Sasuke's office. "He's insistent that he only took a walk. Could you be wrong about him?"
"I just find it very suspicious. Why would he take a walk around that part of town on the same night as the murder? According to the woman we visited, he was pretty much the only person that looked out of place around the area" Sasuke explained.
"Did you guys ask around more?" Kakashi wanted to know.
Sasuke nodded. "We did"
Naruto folded his arms and leaned against the wall. "Some of the people in that street also saw Gaara there, but no one saw anything or anyone else around the general area" Naruto added.
Sasuke sighed and rubbed his temples. Suddenly a knock resonated from his door. "Yes" the door opened to reveal a pink mess of hair and emerald eyes.
…
I popped my head into the room and saw Sasuke and Naruto along with someone else I haven't met before.
"Sorry for dropping by without calling. The hospital isn't far from here and I thought I should pop in and see how things are going" I told them.
"It's fine, it's not like we're getting anywhere" the unknown man sighed.
"Oh, I'm Sakura Haruno, it's nice to meet you" I bowed and smiled at the man.
He seemed to be smiling too since his one visible eye crinkled. "Kakashi Hatake, it's very nice to meet you too. You must be, Sasuke's fiancée, right?"
"That's right"
"Is he a handful?"
"You have no idea" I laughed along with Kakashi; he seemed like a very nice person.
"I'm sitting right here" Sasuke muttered under his breath. I waved him off.
"We're talking about you Sasuke, not with you" Sasuke looked annoyed with my reply. Naruto snickered.
"I gotta use that line next time" the blond grinned.
"Enough fun, Kakashi why don't you go see if he's ready to talk yet" Sasuke ordered.
"Who?" I wanted to know.
"Gaara no Subaku, he was taken in by the police just recently" Naruto answered. Yeah I remembered that. Sasuke had explained how someone said the jacket was suspicious and I told him how I came in possession of it.
"I see. Uhm…w-would it be alright if I talked to him?" I knew the answer could be 'no'. I wasn't part of the UPD.
"He harassed you and you want to go talk with him?" Sasuke questioned raising an eyebrow.
I shrugged. "I just want to talk with him"
…
And that's how I found myself in a room with Gaara, alone. "Why are you here, to gloat?" the red head questioned.
He was such difficult person to get along with sometimes. "I just wanted to talk"
"What, they can't do their job so their asking some girl to do it for them?"
He wanted me to be pissed off. He really did. Where is the man I loved back then? Is he even there anymore?
"Gaara, you need to tell them what you know" I told him plainly.
I know I had no right. We weren't together, but I want him to break free from whatever is doing this to him.
"I know I have no right to tell you what to do_"
"That's right, you don't" he cut me off.
"_but I want to you to tell them. It may not be right what you did and you may even go to prison for it, but deep down I know that you know it's the right thing to do"
Silence.
"I don't want to" he replied softly.
"Why not? I questioned, I wanted to know why he was such a mess.
"I'm ashamed of myself. I got mixed up with some things, after that I met you and my life started getting better, but I got dragged back in" Gaara explained shortly.
That was all I needed to know what he was talking about. "No…Gaara, you didn't"
He looked at his hands on the table, they turned into fists. "It's impossible for someone like me to escape, Sakura. I am sorry, truly I am"
I stood abruptly. "If you were really sorry like you say you are, then you'd tell them all you knew"
I left him without looking back. Gaara was part of my past. I was sad to realize that he messed up our relationship over something so stupid.
I did love him, but I don't love him anymore. I don't. I'm sure of that fact.
…
"Thank you for not listening in on us" The three police officers started at me. I sighed. I was going to have to tell them about what I know now.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked me. He did sound a little worried.
"I'm fine, just upset. I just learned something horrible about my past, is all" I replied honestly.
Silence enveloped the room. No one spoke. I think they were sorry for me and decided not to. I was going to have to face the facts anyway.
"You should check his jacket" I told them.
"We did check it, there was nothing in the jacket" Naruto answered.
I shook my head. "You should let forensics check it for residue"
"Residue of what?" the blond wanted to know.
I turned around to leave out the door. I was unhappy about the answer.
"Drugs"
I left the UPD silently.
…
"You ready to talk yet?" Kakashi asked as he walked into the room.
Gaara sat quietly, his head hung he was very ashamed of himself. Kakashi sighed. He didn't think he was getting anything out of Gaara.
Gaara's voice stopped him in his tracks before he left out the door. "Orochimaru"
Kakashi turned to face Gaara. "Who?"
"The man that killed that person was Orochimaru. He's a drug dealer. When he doesn't get paid he gets violent and kills his customers.
I was making a stop to get some drugs from him. Sakura and I had already been broken up at the time. Also because I was on drugs and didn't realize what I was doing. I cheated on the perfect girl…"
Kakashi sat down quietly and waited for him to continue speaking.
"I met with Orochimaru and asked for drugs. He said that I should go with him and he'd get me some. I followed him and we arrived at that guy's apartment.
Before I knew it, there was a dead body on the floor and he placed a packet in my hand. He said 'This will be your future if I don't get paid'. I just walked away"
"Is that everything?"
"Yes"
…
"He could be working with or for this Orochimaru fella" Naruto suggested.
"No" Kakashi answered "He might have been on drugs, but I doubt he had anything to do with the killing"
"We should pick up Orochimaru; did he say where we could find him?" Sasuke asked.
"He did, but I'll be getting Orochimaru. I'll take someone with me. You two should get home" Kakashi told them.
"Thanks Kakashi!" Naruto grinned and didn't think twice about walking out and going home to his lovely family.
Sasuke didn't move an inch. "Go Sasuke, I'm sure Sakura needs you right now"
"I won't be able to help her. Nothing can mend a broken heart" the ravenette replied.
Kakashi's eye crinkled. "You're wrong" Sasuke looked towards his teammate "There is one thing that can mend a broken heart"
"And what's that?"
"It's love, Sasuke"
…
Neji had been awfully quiet after Tenten told him of her plan. She assumed he was thinking about it.
"Neji?"
"Hn?"
"I want to do this" Tenten wanted to make her part clear. She wanted a baby. She wanted Sakura to carry that baby.
Neji sighed. "Tenten…"
"I want to do this!" Tenten told him, raising her voice "I want us to be a family. I want to have your baby, Neji. I want us to do this"
He couldn't be anything but happy to hear that. "And I want you to be the mother of my child, Tenten"
Neji pulled his fiancée into his arms and hugged her tightly to his frame. "Let's have ourselves a baby"
Uncontrollable tears spilled from Tenten's eyes. She was happy to hear him say that, so happy.
Neji pulled back and smiled at his brown-eyed princess. "I love you, Neji" with that he swooped in and kissed her softly.
…
I was home alone the whole day, well most of the day.
I had just arrived at home when Ino came knocking on my door a few minutes later. "Hi, Ino"
"Sakura, I need to talk to you" I was starting to detest those words because whenever someone says that bad news always follows.
"Come on in"
We made ourselves comfortable in the living room. Ino was silent and first, but she looked fidgety.
"Okay, so I'm 2 weeks pregnant"
"…"
Silence.
"WHAT!?" to say I was surprised was the understatement of the century "How did that happen?"
"Well, Sakura, when a boy and a girl love each other very much_"
"Ino, I'm being serious here"
That's when all hell broke loose. I broke Ino. Her joking smiled turned into unstopped sobbing. She started crying. No, they were not tears of happiness.
"Ino…" I made my way over to Ino and hugged her as she cried.
We've been best friend for a very long time and this was the first time that Ino cried so hard.
"There's nothing to worry about, Ino, everything will be fine. Everything will work out perfectly" I rubbed her back soothingly.
"I didn't plan this. I never wanted a baby" Ino spoke through broken tears.
"That's okay. We all make some decisions along the way. Look at me, I'm getting married to Sasuke, who would have thought that would happen"
Ino gave a giggle-snort. She was laughing at least, even if it's just a little. "The road of life takes on strange journeys, but we overcome them and become stronger. We have to, so we can continue living"
Ino's sniffling had stopped moments after. She was feeling better. I just knew she was. "Thank you, Sakura. What would I do without you?"
"You'll always have me. You're my best friend" I smiled.
Yes, Ino was feeling much better. "So tell me, what happened?" I was curious, but I didn't want to push her if she didn't want to talk about it.
"Kiba was at my house a week ago. I told him about Tenten and my reason for not wanting a baby. It all kind of started after that"
"That's very interesting could you put more detail into that?" Ino turned pink and I grinned.
Yeah, I loved getting my revenge.
…
After Ino left, a bit happier then when she arrived, Sasuke walked through the door. "How was work?"
"Well, we had a very beautiful visitor today" Sasuke answered.
That answer ruffled my feathers. "Oh, who was it?"
I nearly let the potato fall from my hand and strong arms curled around my waist. "It was you" My cheeks turned red at our close proximity and because Sasuke just called me beautiful, indirectly, but whatever.
"Sasuke!" I was frantic. He wasn't normally like this when he got home.
"Hn"
"Did you get some alcohol into your system or something?"
"Nope, I'm doing this completely sober"
"With a perverted mind, no doubt" I muttered.
Sasuke chuckled and the sound sent a shrill down my spine. "I think we should go on that date this weekend. We've been holding it off for some time now"
"We could. Where did you want to go?" I was curious.
"How about dinner at a fancy restaurant?"
"I say 'no'. The last time you took me to a restaurant. You were the rudest date I ever had and I got introduced to your parents as your fiancée. I'm afraid the next surprise might kill me"
This made Sasuke laugh even more.
"You truly are the comic"
…
Okay, it's not much, but I added some SasuSaku and some NejiTen. Sorry that I've been skipping out on NaruHina. I do hope this little bit of fluff was enough for now, but don't worry there is still more to come.
We have more questions now.
What will Ino do about her baby, will she tell Kiba?
Will Sakura tell Sasuke about the baby she wants to carry for the soon to be married couple?
What will Sasuke do when he finds out?
You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out more! Keep reading!
