Hi, new chapter, bye. Lol. (I'm honestly just trying to finish this story now lol. Though, I can't even see the finishing line anywhere close. Omg, why did I do this to myself!? It's obvious I really should just focus on this story before moving on to any of my other stories. Even if I'm no longer getting reviews, I don't care. I have loved the creativity this story holds and am able to bend it in so many different directions if I want to.)

Little insight on the past 2 chapters and this new chapter, yes Sakura has seemed very infatuated with Madara almost instantly unlike all of the other realms she has been sent to so far. However, this new chapter will kind of bring Sakura's little hate factor for Madara back into play. Remember what I have written thus far, Kaguya claimed each new realm would make it much much harder for the two to actually fall in love.

So, I hope you're happy with that explanation.

As always,

Enjoy!

Chapter 26: Undesirable Outcome

What could she honestly expect? Did she really and truly believe that Team Indra would succeed with teamwork? Sakura glanced down so that her emerald orbs now peered at the Hokage before releasing a gentle sigh. All six members of Team Indra currently stood inside Naruto's office silently as the Seventh Hokage cleared his throat, "Team Indra, it is my belief that none of you are suited to be together as teammates... and that even includes the ANBU. This also means that Madara will now be placed within a new squad with teammates of my selection."

Now this caused the pinkette's head to shoot up with pain struck eyes. She knew that Naruto was aware that Indra, Asura, and Izuna had been the original team members of Team Yin. To make matters even worse, now she wasn't even going to be on the same team as Madara. Now turning towards the pinkette, the blonde released a gentle sigh, "Sakura, please don't look at me like that..." Tears instantly began to roll down her porcelain cheeks and quickly lowered her head to hide the fact that she were now crying and as she did once before - sealed away all of her emotions.

Keeping her head lowered with dull and lifeless emerald orbs fixated on the ground, Sakura said nothing. Naruto frowned slightly, "Sakura, you will now be my personal bodyguard and medic. You will report directly to me every morning and are not permitted to leave until I leave my office; understood?" The female Uchiha still said nothing - nor did she give any indication that she had even acknowledged that he had been speaking to her in the first place until he heard a dead and cold tone mutter out, "As you wish..."

Turning towards Izuna, Indra, and Asura, Naruto then exclaimed they all would no longer be on the same squad together and would be given a new squad once one team roster had been put together for them. They all peered down, yet nodded at this. Now turning towards Madara, this was the biggest issue for the blonde, "Now, Madara, considering you are the two tails Jinchuriki; I will be sending you along with Yamato, Ino, and Aoba to meet up with Killer Bee so that you may gain control over your tailed beast."

Madara had been hiding this from Sakura, so this new found knowledge caused her eyes to widen immensely. Madara merely folded his arms and ground his teeth slightly that he had just let the cat out of the bag until Matatabi spoke up within his inner psyche, 'Madara, do you want me to explain everything to Naruto for you?' Internally nodding his head, Madara closed his eyes momentarily before opening them to show Matatabi's two toned eye coloration had now set into place, "Naruto, Madara already has complete control over my power. I have watched him change into a caring man that I now do not mind being sealed inside of. I allowed him to harness my power as a sign of friendship."

Once the former leader of the Uchiha clan blinked once more, his charcoal orbs were set into place and his stoic mask right along with it - but not for long. It had been too fast for even the man praised as "the god of war" to properly respond or react to once the pink haired Uchiha female had appeared in front of him - gathering a mass amount of chakra into her small fist before slamming it into the, now shocked, male's cheek and hurling him against the wall.

This only caused the blonde haired Jinchuriki to cast his gaze downward due to remembering when they were teenagers, he had once allowed his rage to overcome him; which allowed Kurama to seep his chakra out so that the nine tails cloak covered his body. Once the fourth tail appeared though, he lost all willpower of his own and he allowed that rage to completely consume and cloud his judgement. Sakura, trusting him completely, had begged and pleaded for him to stop - shedding tears that would go unnoticed. She had, had faith in him to keep her safe and he had ended up doing the complete opposite.

Pain now struck Naruto's face as he also remembered the fact that once he had come out of the nine tails cloak and even though she had been badly injured, she instantly began to heal him so that he would not suffer. The moment he had come around, he noticed her wound and asked about it, yet... she lied straight to his face to spare his feelings even though her suffering was unimaginable. It wasn't until much later that he had found out the entire truth and the severity of his own actions from Captain Yamato.

Even though she was now Naruto's personal energy drink, Sakura ran out of his office as fast as she could. "Um, Lord Seventh?" Shisui asked to bring Naruto out of his pity party. Blinking rapidly, that's when he noticed the pinkette had left, causing him to sigh gently, "Shisui, you are the best at handling situations such as this. Go and speak with Sakura before bringing her back." Nodding his head, the man renowned for his teleportation simply vanished, fully knowing where the female Uchiha would be.

"Well, I'm relieved you have an alliance with your tailed beast, Madara... now I know that you will not do the one thing I simply had no control over at the time." Naruto turned around to look out his window and sighed, hoping the former Uchiha clan leader would not ask; however, that hope was quickly tossed to the side. Raising an eyebrow once finished healing his wounds, Madara had to ask, "And what might that be?" Flinching slightly, the blonde haired Jinchuriki took in a sharp breath, "I harmed Sakura without even knowing once... I let my rage take over and that allowed Kurama to cease control of my body..."

He had harmed Sakura... and was named Hokage?! What foolish child baring ideals lead to these circumstances!? That's when Madara's void like orb shot towards the picture of his best friend while thinking, 'All of this is Hashirama's legacy.' That's when Matatabi's worried tone rang out within his mind, 'Madara, try and calm down... Sakura is not dead, she was only injured long ago before you even knew her.' He had to hand it to his two tailed feline beast inside of him, she was correct, 'Yes, I know Matatabi, I know...'

"Well, considering you already have control over your tailed beast, I would like to just go ahead and place you on a new team." Naruto spoke with his back still facing the group, "Ino will still be in your group-" Naruto was then interrupted, and quickly too, "I refuse." Ino shot a pitiful look towards Madara, whom only rolled his eyes as Naruto sighed heavily, "Then I have no choice..." Lifting a dainty eyebrow at this he then began to speak, "What do you mea-" - "TAKE HIM AWAY!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke, Itachi, Indra, and Asura.

Asura quickly stepped forward, "But Lord Seventh!" Indra held up his hand as a means to silence his younger brother, "Asura, be quiet... however, Lord Seventh, a word of advice for you. The moment Sakura finds out about this, all hell will break loose. Sakura has grown fond of Madara. Even if you make this classified information, she is smart and is bound to figure out that all of this is your doing. Then... you will never receive the love you oh so desire from our little sister. Keep that in mind. Come on Madara."

Gritting his teeth, Madara then relaxed and released a cocky smirk, "Very well then." Just as Naruto turned around, Madara turned to leave and a little something caught the sapphire eyes of the Seventh Hokage; around the god of war's neck laid a necklace that resembled the First Hokage's, except the crystal was an emerald coloration and the beads were a blazing crimson. Now that he thought about it... Sakura had been wearing a similar necklace, except her crystal had been crimson and the beads, emerald.

'Why... why did this have to happen to me?' She sat there deeply lost in thought until she felt the rough shaking of her body and she quickly came back down to earth, "Huh? Shisui?" The male released a gentle chuckle and sat beside the distraught pinkette, "What's on your mind? You know I'll listen and help if I can."

Looking down, Sakura brought her hands together and clamped down tightly before looking up with a fake smile, "Oh, it's nothing." Shisui gained an annoyed facial expression almost instantly, "Sakura, we have known one another our entire lives. You can't fool me that easily." Sighing, she looked back down to her lap as a gentle gust of cool fall wind brushed passed the two, causing the pinkette's hair to flow in front of her face.

This wasn't going to be easy to ask, yet knew it was time for a change, "Shisui... can you hold my hair behind me at shoulder length...?" The Uchiha male already knew where she was going with this and his face slightly fell, "But I like your long hair Sakura..." She then gave him a stern look and he sighed before nodding, "All right." Standing up and kneeling behind her, Shisui grasped her hair at shoulder length and just as Sakura grasped a kunai and shot it back, her arm was effectively stopped, "Sakura, stop it."

Glancing back, the female Uchiha groaned, "Itachi, it's just hair! It will grow back!" Itachi was NOT going to hear any of her bullshit excuses as a brotherly scowl then laced upon his face, "And what would I tell Indra and Asura? That I just LET you cut your hair!?" Rage was now boiling up within the pinkette, "WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU TWO WANT!?" Itachi stood firm as he stared at the female he thought of as a little sister, "Let it all out. All of the rage, the pain, and the suffering."

Suddenly, Sakura's eyes filled to the brim with tears before running into Itachi's arms and for once, released all of her previously checked emotions. Shisui chuckled softly at this, "If I didn't know any better, I'd think Itachi here was your big brother." In a way, Itachi was one of Sakura's big brothers - just not by blood. She even called him big brother, like she way she did now, "Sorry big brother." Sakura hiccuped softly as Itachi hushed her while stroking her hair. All Shisui could think was, 'It's great to be a family...'

"By the way Itachi, why are you here?" Shisui asked curiously and Itachi glanced up, "Well, you were taking so long that Lord Seventh sent me to retrieve both of you." That's when the male of teleportation gained an 'oh, whoops' facial expression, causing the always so monotone male to chuckle slightly, "Come on Sakura." The pinkette then glanced down at the ground as if it were the most intriguing thing on this planet at the moment, "Right..."

Appearing back within the Hokage's Tower, Itachi and Shisui lead Sakura to Naruto before bowing and making their exit. She didn't know what she was doing there and it felt extremely awkward to say the least. A knock then came to the door and Naruto called for them to enter. Just as they did, in walked Konohamaru, Boruto, Mitsuki, and Saiya.

Konohamaru began to explain how their mission was a success before Boruto blurted out how this stuff was too easy. 'THAT sounds familiar...' Sakura internally mused and snickered softly. Saiya had been a huge fan of Sakura's - not to mention, she was also an Uchiha; so Saiya wanted nothing more than to be EXACTLY like the pinkette, "Hi Lady Sakura!" Saiya chirped out happily. Sakura blinked rapidly, "Oh, hey there Saiya, mission go well?" Naruto then glanced to the pinkette as if telling her to shut up, so she did.

Boruto of course started arguing with his father, making the pinkette groan internally, 'What a disrespectful little bastard! What has Lady Hinata been DOING!? That kid would have had his fucking lights knocked out of him if he were my child! SUCH- SUCH-' Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and audible cracks and pops could be heard just from the pink haired Uchiha tightly clenching her fists, "YOU WERE RAISED WITH NO DAMN RESPECT FOR YOUR FATHER! NOW STAND IN LINE, SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND LISTEN TO YOUR NEW GOD DAMNED MISSION YOU BRAT!"

Naruto slightly tensed up at this, yet Boruto appeared completely terrified as the pinkette continued, "IF I HEAR YOU SPEAK IN SUCH A DISRESPECTFUL MANNER TO YOUR FATHER EVER AGAIN, CONSIDER YOURSELF THE NEXT HUMAN ROCKET TO THE MOON!" Boruto was not about to get smart with her, yet she was NOT finished, oh no - not by a long shot, "Lord Seventh, allow my brothers, Madara, and myself to raise Boruto for a short time considering that his mother won't beat any damn manners into him!"

The blonde haired child then gave his father a pleading look as his father actually began to consider this... "Hm... permission granted. It will be a good lesson for him. Saiya, you are to go with Boruto and give Hinata this-" he paused momentarily to hand her a scroll before continuing, "-then you will show Boruto the way to Sakura's, Indra's, and Asura's home." Saiya took the scroll and nodded hastily, "Of course Lord Seventh!"

As Team Konohamaru left the Hokage's Tower, Saiya knew Boruto was going to try to make a break for it; so she latched onto his arm, "See you guys later!" Saiya called happily as she personally escorted Boruto home. Knocking on the front door, Hinata opened it and smiled sweetly, "Oh, Saiya! What a pleasant surprise! What brings you by our home?" Saiya then handed Hinata the missive and she opened it to see what was about to actually happen, "But I-" Saiya shook her head, "I'm sorry Lady Hinata, this was Lord Seventh's decision. Go get packed Boruto, I want to get home and eat dinner some time this century."

Naruto gazed wearily at the now dull eyed pinkette as she stared blankly out of the window. Sighing, the Seventh Hokage stretched slightly, "All my work is done for today Sakura, go ahead and head home." Shrugging, she merely left. Once she stepped foot inside the Uchiha compound that's when it hit her... whenever Naruto gave the list of names within the home, Madara had not been one of them.

Patting her face, she made a resolution right then and there. That resolution being, 'I just don't care anymore.' Walking into her home, the pinkette then noticed her brother's were home so she called out, "I'm home." Taking her shoes off at the front door, Sakura pulled her hair up into a high ponytail that sat on the top of her cranium and walked into the kitchen before preparing dinner.

Hearing a knock at the door, Sakura then called out, "INDRA! CAN YOU GET THE DOOR?" Indra then walked out of his room and to the front door before opening it and blinking rapidly, "Saiya? Boruto?" Sakura then called out, "Boruto is staying with us Uchiha to learn some lessons in respect and manners!" Indra then rose an eyebrow and ushered the boy in, "Thank you Saiya." Saiya waved cutely before running home after effectively delivering her "package".

"Welcome to the Uchiha's home. Be warned Boruto, we are strict; but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it." Indra gave a slightly sympathetic smile, "Now, I'll show you to your room." Boruto then narrowed his eyes and decided to start testing his luck right then and there, "No." Indra rose a dainty eyebrow at this, "No?" Boruto then scowled heavily, "You heard me, I said NO! THIS IS NOT MY HOME! YOU ARE NOT MY PARENTS AND YOU WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

Patience was gone within an instant and a sudden yelp along with the sound with a harsh whack could be heard, "MOVE. NOW! YOU ARE LIVING UNDER MY ROOF UNDER LORD SEVENTH'S ORDERS! NOW I SUGGEST YOU BEHAVE!" The look Indra now held terrified Boruto to the point where he actually did shut up and follow the man to his new found room.

"Dinner is ready!" Sakura called out for everyone. Asura and Indra came to the table, but Boruto did not. "Oh... hell... no..." The pinkette bit her lip roughly and instantly began to storm to Boruto's room. Knocking on his door, Sakura gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought that maybe he hadn't heard her, "Boruto, dinner is ready. It is time to eat." What she heard next though, caused the devil in her to emerge, "NO! I'M NOT HUNGRY YOU PINK HAIRED FREAK! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Indra and Asura alike heard what Boruto had just said and instantly sweat dropped. "Is he trying to get himself killed...?" Asura nervously spoke out as Indra looked up the staircase, "Well, that does seem to be the case. Lady Hinata does not discipline her children to make them effective shinobi. In fact, she does not discipline them at all. It is very different from how the Uchiha raise their children. We raise our children to be respectful. Yet, some do this practice in a much harsher lighting. Much like Sasuke and Itachi's parents."

Raising her fist, completely infuriated with how this child now spoke to her; Sakura slammed her fist so hard against the locked door that it flew off of its hinges, "YOU WANT TO SAY THAT AGAIN BORUTO!?" The pinkette was so pissed off that she grabbed the child by his ear and began to drag him down to the dinner table. Indra had been sitting there with his arms folded and a scowl laced upon his face, yet honestly, he was just deep in thought, 'I see what Boruto needs. He needs a stable living environment that has a mother AND a father present to scold him.'

Standing abruptly as Sakura shoved Boruto in his seat, the eldest of the three children really wanted to do this quickly so that he could eat, "Sakura, I will be right back." She merely nodded and smiled softly, "All right." Indra quickly vanished and reappeared within Naruto's office, "Lord Seventh." Naruto glanced up, "Hm? Yes Indra?" Indra sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "I know what Boruto needs. He needs an environment where both mother and father are present. I believe..."

Naruto sighed and cut him off, "Yes, I understand Indra. You and Asura are to move out first thing in the morning and Madara... will move back in." Nodding his head, Indra then vanished and reappeared back within the home, "Asura, I must speak with you right after dinner. BORUTO EAT YOUR FOOD!" Indra ended up yelling like an older brother. Boruto scowled, "Big brother Indra! This isn't fair! I want to go home!"

Sakura was already at the sink washing pots and pans, along with her dishes and soon enough Asura's and Indra's. Boruto still refused to eat until Sakura walked up to him and knelt down, "Boruto... you need to eat if you want to grow up strong." Reaching her arms out, Boruto instantly flinched until feeling his hair being stroked, "Now, stop throwing such a fuss and eat. Can you do that...?" Leaning back, Boruto then gazed into the pinkette's emerald orbs and nodded slowly, "Y-Yes ma'am." A beautiful smile then graced the female Uchiha's lips, "That wasn't so hard, now was it?"

Erecting her body, all the blonde haired child could do was watch at how graceful this woman actually was. She was beautiful, she was scary, she was stern, yet underneath that - she was loving. Once Boruto finished eating, Sakura glanced over her shoulder, "Boruto, please bring your dishes to the sink." He was so used to his mom doing it for him that he rolled his eyes, "Do it yourself." The Uchiha female snapped around and placed her hands firmly to her hips, "Boruto, I'm going to ask you one more time... please bring your dishes to the sink."

Today was just not his lucky day as he glared towards the pinkette, "I SAID DO IT YOURSELF!" Wrong answer. Calmly walking in front of Boruto, Sakura then reared her arm back and literally bitch slapped the poor kid, "I ASKED NICELY TWICE DAMMIT! NOW TAKE YOUR DISHES TO THE SINK DAMMIT! I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO TELL YOU A FOURTH TIME, BECAUSE IT WILL GET UGLY REALLY FAST!"

Boruto grumbled and did as he was told, yet before he could leave Sakura stopped him, "You have not excused yourself from the room Boruto." Groaning internally, the blonde haired and blue eyed child then sighed before enthusiastically exclaiming, "I will be going to my room now." Sakura then smile and nodded; well at least the little fool was learning.

The next morning, Sakura woke up once again, before her alarm even went off and sighed. These night terrors were going to be the death of her. Suddenly hearing Boruto yelling in a panicked manner, Sakura ran out of her room - not truly even realizing she was only wearing form fitting underwear and one of Madara's Uchiha t-shirts. Noticing Boruto frozen at the doorway with all of his belongings, Sakura kept running with one of her fist ready to strike someone down. Not paying attention to whom the intruder might be, the pinkette shot towards them, only for her wrist to be gently taken within a much larger hand.

"My, my, feisty this morning aren't we?" The all too familiar voice rang out and Sakura's emerald orbs widened profoundly, "M-Madara..." Slowly he released her wrists, only for her to wrap her arms around his neck tightly. He was soon to follow suit as his arms securely fastened around her body, "I have missed that fire within your soul. Yet it appears you are too tired to dance." The former Uchiha clan leader then lifted the pinkette bridal style and her eyes instantly began to droop, yet then she remembered she was now the maternal figure for Boruto.

Boruto watched all of this almost... curiously... as if he had never seen such a love between two individuals before. His parents slept in different bedrooms, yet these two were perfect for one another. Madara then glanced at the blonde haired child, "Who is the brat?" Sakura yawned and rubbed her eyes to stay awake, "This is Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto's son. He has no manners what-so-ever, so Naruto asked us Uchiha to help correct what his wife could not initially do in the first place."

Madara then gave a slight chuckle, "Ah... so that's why he gave me these." Tilting her head slightly, the Uchiha male brought up his hand to show two silver bands - causing the pinkette's face to bleed a crimson red. "May I?" Madara inquired with a smile. Staring into his eyes, she could only nod and hold up her left hand for him to slip the silver band onto its respective finger.

The pinkette's eyes then softened as she took the other ring and slipped the glove off of his left hand before mirroring the same action as him, yet the moment she tried to pull his glove back on, he took it from her gently and placed it within a storage compartment. The right hand's glove was soon to follow when finally he heard something that further thawed his frozen heart, "Welcome home dear." Leaning in, Madara rose a single hand to gently grasp her chin to tilt it up, "It's good to be home." He then allowed his lips to press gently against her own before they both heard Boruto clearing his throat.

Sakura quickly pulled away, blushing madly, yet took a couple deep breaths before turning around, "And where do you think YOU are going!? Now that my husband is home, we will both be keeping tabs on you! GO PUT YOUR THINGS AWAY BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME!" Boruto began to grumble about this and that before saying one thing that triggered Madara, "Bitch..." Rushing forward, Madara stood in front of this, now cowering, child before his deadly tone rang out, "And did you believe that was WISE!? FOOLISH CHILD! Speak to Sakura like that again and I shall show you no mercy."

A heavy sigh escaped the pinkette's lips as she shook her head, "That's enough dear. Boruto, go unpack please. You will be with us for a while, and if I were you I would not try to escape again. I will have breakfast ready in a bit along with your lunch. Saiya said she would come and pick you up."

The makeshift family then ate and Madara, noticing Sakura's teetering head within her palm, picked up his dishes and her dishes before turning to Boruto, "Boruto, bring your dishes to the sink." Rolling his sapphire eyes at the war hardened male, Boruto pulled out his gaming console, "Yeah, do it yourself."

Madara's eye instantly began to twitch at this until remembering it was in fact, a different era from his own. Yet from what Sakura had told him, the Uchiha's were pretty much well respected members of the community due to how they are raised - and that the raising of children within the Uchiha did not really change throughout the times other than the fact that you didn't get your ass handed to you for speaking out of line. Getting in that mindset, Madara sighed heavily, "Boruto, tell me, how were you raised?"

Blinking rapidly at this question, Boruto gently set down his gaming console, "Well... I am never disciplined or scolded by my mom and since my dad is the Hokage, I don't really see him ever." Madara gave the child a blank look before humming to himself softly, "Now let me ask you this. You have an Uchiha teammate, tell me how do you two differ?"

To be honest, Boruto had never thought about it THAT way, "I suppose... Saiya is really proper, treats her parents with respect, never disobeys, or breaks the rules... I guess..." That's when it hit Boruto where Madara had been going with this, "Now, I shall ask this time. Boruto, will you please bring your dishes to the sink?" Standing, Boruto did as he was told and Madara ruffled his blonde locks before kneeling down, "You are not a bad child, at least, not in my eyes. Your mother and father just gave you no guidance. Such a shame."

Erecting his body, Madara grabbed Boruto's lunch, "Now, since Sak-" The god of war was then swiftly interrupted, "Mom." Blinking rather rapidly at this, a gentle sigh escaped his lips, "Now, since your mom is asleep, I shall tell you; work hard and have a good day." Boruto then smiled cheekily as he took his lunch, "Thanks dad!" Boruto's shouting caused Sakura to jolt awake and rub her eyes, "Huh? Oh, Boruto, you're leaving. Have a good day sweetie." Boruto then grinned as he put his combat sandals on, "Thanks mom!"

Sakura's eyes widened and she began to blink rapidly at this. Boruto chuckled softly at this, "See ya later mom and dad!" Sakura could only wave in confusion, "Have a good day...?" Madara chuckled at the pinkette's clear confusion before walking to her and she glanced up to him, "What did you do? You didn't put him under a genjutsu, did you?" Lifting his only visible eyebrow, Madara shook his head as he lifted the clearly exhausted Uchiha female into his arms, "No, I did not. I just spoke sense into him. That is all."

As Boruto ran, he noticed Hinata outside sweeping and he waved as he passed, "Good morning Lady Hinata!" Hinata got a highly confused facade, that did not sound like her son at all. He wanted to become Madara's and Sakura's REAL son. Those two held REAL power. Sakura had been the mother he had always wanted and Madara had always been the father he had wanted.

It was as if the day flew by due to his sheer excitement of going home. Running into the Uchiha compound, he reached home pretty quick and opened the door, "Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Boruto called out happily. Sakura walked out from the kitchen with a smile graced on her lips, "Welcome home Boruto. Your father is out back training if you'd like to go and learn some of his skills." Boruto's eyes instantly began to sparkle, "Thanks mom, but first!" He ran up to her and gave her a tight hug, which she smiled softly at and knelt down to place a kiss on his forehead, "Go on now."

Nodding his head, Boruto rushed out back to see his "father" without a top on as he fought... nothing? Walking up, he noticed how graceful Madara looked whenever he fought. "Hey dad, I'm home!" Boruto called out. Madara slightly turned his head, only for it to instantly whip to the side, "SAKURA YOU CAN DISMISS THEM!" Madara called out as he wiped the blood from his chin in a nonchalant manner. Boruto, still confused, had to ask, "Dismiss what dad?" Directing his attention towards Boruto, Madara smirked, "I was battling your mother's shadows. It is one of the powers of the Rinnegan."

Boruto's eyes were now twinkling, "S..S...SO COOL!" Madara rose his only visible eyebrow at this comment and chuckled softly, "Ah yes, I suppose your mother is quite powerful." Suddenly the pinkette's voice rang out like a church bell, "Time for dinner!" Madara pulled his Uchiha cloak back on before buckling it into place and Boruto then began to fidget, "I wish I could wear the Uchiha crest..."

Raising an eyebrow at this Madara decided not to say anything considering what he was going to say was, "Why would you wear the Uchiha crest when you, yourself are not an Uchiha? It is foolish." Dinner went by without incident and as Sakura washed dishes, she then noticed she hadn't even needed to ask Boruto to bring his dishes, "Boruto." Turning his head to look at her with a question filled gaze, she then smiled, "I'm proud of you."

By the time they all knew it, three months had passed and Boruto now acted as if he were an Uchiha. Hinata finally had enough of being called "Lady Hinata" instead of "mom" by her very own child. Walking into Naruto's office, Hinata scowled slightly at the man she was married to, "How long do you plan on keeping Boruto with the Uchiha's!? He would have done just as fine at the Hyuga's!"

Naruto sighed heavily, "No, it would not have been the same. Your father and Hanabi would have only ended up spoiling him more. The Uchiha's do not tolerate such behavior, but if you insist, I will call him home now. Itachi, please take this scroll to Sakura." Itachi appeared from the shadows and took the scroll before bowing, "As you wish Lord Seventh."

Appearing within Sakura's and Madara's home, Itachi then called out, "Sakura?" Walking out of her room, Sakura smiled, "Hey Itachi, what's up!" Itachi then handed Sakura the scroll, "I have a message from Lord Seventh. Boruto Uzumaki is to now return home once he is done with the day. That is all." That made the pinkette a little sad, but she nodded towards him, "All right, I will pack his things for him."

He absolutely loved coming home to the Uchiha compound, it was beautiful here. Reaching his home, Boruto opened the door, "Mom, dad! I'm home!" Madara's voice then echoed out from around the corner, "Boruto, come here and do make it quick." That made Boruto sprint to their location until skidding to a stop. Sakura and Madara now stood side by side and the look of pain in the pinkette's facial expression was all too apparent.

Taking gentle steps forward, long pink tresses began to gently chase after their owner as she approached the child before coming to a slow stop. Coming down to her knees, Sakura's eyes filled with tears before she slowly took the blonde haired child within a motherly embrace, "Boruto... today - you must return to your mother. Please do not argue, I don't have a say in the matter..." Madara sighed heavily and picked up Boruto's belongings, "Come, we must leave now." In his three months time spent living among Sakura and Madara, Boruto learned not to talk back, no longer sassed, did as he was told, and never did anything to bring shame upon his family. In other words, he now acted... like an outstanding - Uchiha.

Nodding firmly towards Madara, all he said in return was, "Yes sir." Yet as they began to walk out of the house he reached for Sakura's hand and took it within her own, "Do not worry mother, I will not tarnish the name oh the Uchiha." She couldn't blame the boy for how he spoke now, he basically shadowed Madara's every movement and completely idolized him. Smiling softly and taking Boruto's hand within her own, Sakura spoke just loud enough for the two beside her to hear, "I know you won't."

Reaching the Uzumaki residence, Sakura knocked on the door. Moments later, Hinata answered, "Boruto, welcome home!" Boruto smiled and bowed, "Hello L-mom. It's good to be home." Madara handed Boruto's things over to Hinata, "We shall take our leave now." The oh-so stoic male then turned around and took the pinkette's hand within his own before beginning to walk away. Once they were far enough away, Madara smirked, "Don't worry, he'll be back. It really is a shame though, he would have turned out to be a fine Uchiha if born into the family. I have to say, we don't make bad parents."

Sakura then turned bright red, remembering this was all fake to make Boruto believe that there was a mom and dad around to give him what he needed. As they walked into the Uchiha compound, the female Uchiha slightly turned her head to look at the former Uchiha clan leader, 'I wonder what it would be like actually being married to him... I dunno, I might enjoy it.'

"Hm? What is it?" Madara glanced at her lazily, his voice projecting as if he were annoyed and she then sweat dropped, 'Then again...' - "Just looking at how handsome my husband is, that's all." Of course he has to go and give a cocky grin, "Ah, that is all? Then you may continue to eye my body."

Giving the Uchiha male a look of sheer and utter annoyance, he then chuckled, "Aw, do not look at me that way Sakura." Finally reaching their home, the pinkette opened the door before walking in, They now had a three bedroom home with three bathrooms, but up until now, only two of the rooms had been occupied thanks to Boruto.

. . .

Back at the Uzumaki residence, Hinata had just finished making dinner and softly called out, "Boruto, Himawari, it's time for dinner." The Hyuga heiress knew that Himawari would come instantly, but it would take a good ten minutes of arguing with Boruto for him to come to the table. Yet, before she knew it, Boruto was sitting at the table with his little sister.

"B-Boruto?" Hinata stuttered out as the blonde haired young boy turned his head to look at his mother, "Yes?" She then shook her head and everyone ate. Just as she came to pick up everyone's plates, Boruto stood with his own and walked it to the sink and bowed, "Thank you for the meal." Just then, Naruto walked in and gave a weary smile, "Welcome home Boruto. Can you do me a favor? I need you to run to Sakura's home and grab the report." Merely nodding his head, again, the only think Boruto said was, "Yes sir."

Sakura stretched after taking a long soaking bath and wrapped a towel around her body. Blowing her hair dry, she then looked in the mirror for a while until hearing the doorbell ring, "Madara! Can you get that?" The pinkette called out as she continued to stare at her own reflection, 'Stop playing house Sakura... this is just ridiculous...'

Madara walked to the door and opened it, only to find Boruto standing there, "Father, Lord Seventh needs the report from mother." Nodding his head slightly, he then walked to their bedroom and grabbed the scroll before walking back to the blonde haired child and handing it to him, "Here you go." Nodding his head, he then smiled softly, "Thanks father, tell mother I love her and that I will come back tomorrow to make sure she isn't lonely." Madara then smirked at this, "Hm, very well then." With that, Boruto bowed before dashing off.

A heavy sigh could be heard projecting from the midst of the bathroom and the god of war then closed the front door and locked it before making his way towards the bathroom. Quietly opening the door, he now wish he hadn't. There stood the pinkette, completely nude as she inspected her body for any flaws that she found, yet he couldn't seem to find any. Walking behind her with a now painful urge within his pants, Madara then caged the female Uchiha in between his muscular biceps. A slight possessive growl was then admitted from the Uchiha male's throat as he stared at her, "You enjoy torturing me... don't you..."

All she could do was stare into his eyes before softly sighing, "Torturing? What do you mean? We aren't ACTUALLY married." This caused Madara's eyes to narrow dangerously towards her, "What did you just say?" Now it was her turn to narrow her eyes, "You heard me Madara. As you say, do not make me repeat myself." He slowly could feel his heart breaking all over again as he swiftly reached out and caught the pinkette's chin, "Do not patronize me! I am Madara Uchiha, so if I want something, I will surely get it and my patience is running quite thin with you!"

This is when Sakura began to scowl deeply, "If your patience is so thin... then leave..." It was too fast for her to even comprehend as he slammed her body to the ground, causing shock to be admitted to her face as all air decided to abandon her lungs, "It is almost as if you require a collar to keep yourself in line as an Uchiha FEMALE! You have done nothing but sleep on me half naked every night! I am a man, so tell me, what do you think my PROBLEM is Sakura!?"

Dragging her nails roughly against the tile of the bathroom floor, the female Uchiha - whom now had a male Uchiha sitting on the top of her naked body - answered with a venom laced tone, "I DON'T CARE! ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF!" This instantly made the god of war snap, yet he stood off of her with a painful erection, "If that is how you see me to be, then I cannot change that. However..." Rearing his hand back, Madara swiftly and harshly slapped the pinkette so hard across the face that her head whipped to the side as blood began to slide down the seams of her mouth.

Rolling to the side to hide not only her body, but her tears as well; Sakura's trembling voice managed to choke out, "G-Get out..." He had already planned on it. Snapping around he then paused at the door to witness her trembling body, "You look simply unsightly..." With that he left - temporarily.

Once dressed and ready for bed, she wondered if she had taken things too far with him. She knew she had, so she needed to be polite and apologize for the way she had spoken to him. Sakura opened her window and sat on the ledge so that the cool fall wind brushed by her body, causing her to sigh. There was nothing she could do now, so she simply got into bed and closed her eyes; hoping and praying that she would not be plagued with night terrors considering Madara was not there to make her feel safe.

Around midnight, the pinkette shot awake with tears streaming down her face as her hands trembled. Where was he when she needed him the most!? She could feel his chakra within the home, so she decided that she would pay with the consequences in the morning. Walking out of the room, she neared one of the rooms to hear... her...

Slamming the door to the second room open, there was Ino completely naked as she rode the stoic faced Madara. Taking a gentle step back as tears filled her eyes, darkness then filled her heart as she too began to feel her heart to break, "Oh, FORGIVE me. By the way Madara, you can have this back. Ino, you can have him. I will be going to Shisui's for the night." Yanking the silver wedding band off, the pinkette then merely dropped it to the ground in with an all too amused facial expression before turning around and walking out.

Placing semi-warm clothing on, the Uchiha female then walked out of the home and locked the door before dropping the key to the ground. She could come back whenever to get her stuff - that is if she felt like it. Walking to the waterfall instead of Shisui's home. Sakura sat with her legs dangling over the edge of the cliff whenever she felt a warm body tugging her body against their chest while wrapping a blanket around the two. Softly, the pinkette spoke up, "Itachi..." He could always feel her distress, no matter what.

"Why are you up so late...?" He softly hummed as he laid his head on top of her own, obviously still sleepy at the moment. She shook her head and curled up into the man she considered to be like an older brother, "I just couldn't sleep, that's all." He knew this was a lie, so he sighed softly, "You and Madara get into a fight?" She hated at how it was always as if Itachi could read her mind, yet they had spent enough time with one another that she knew that he was only able to do this because of how well they had bonded.

Sighing shakily, the pink haired Uchiha allowed tears to fall from her face, "Itachi... can I stay with you...?" His face instantly saddened, yet he nodded, "Yeah, of course... Sasuke is home too if you want to snuggle up with him." Sakura's face instantly turned bright red at this comment; yet had finally forgiven Sasuke for what he had done and the two had actually began to mend the torn relationship they had, "I-ITACHI!" This only made the raven haired male laugh tiredly as he scooped up the exhausted pinkette.

Reaching his home after a bit of walking, Itachi looked down and instantly noticed that Sakura was now asleep within his hold. Opening his door to his family home, Itachi then walked to his younger brother's room - whom had already woken up due to feeling his brother leave the home - and opened the door, "Sasuke..." Turning over, he noticed the pinkette with tears staining her porcelain skin, "I understand big brother... bring her to me."

Itachi nodded and brought Sakura to Sasuke and laid her beside him before whispering, "Take good care of her." Nodding slightly to his older brother's words, Itachi then left and Sasuke pulled Sakura close to him. She smelled wonderful... it was intoxicating and on the borderline of being addictive. He wouldn't mind this each and every night - curling up in bed with a beautiful woman that worshiped you to the moon and back. He then began to wonder how many children they would have if they got married. Well he had never really liked kids, so one would probably be the limit and even that would be pushing it.

All he could think was that if there was a kid mixed in, all of her attention would be directed towards the brat and not him. In all honesty, he would probably just end up ignoring the kid and leaving it with Sakura for her to tend to. Yeah, he wouldn't make the best father now that he carefully considered it and he knew all too well Sakura wanted children one day. She just simply adored them.

The next morning, Madara felt groggy - great - but groggy. Feeling slim fingers tracing his each and every well defined muscle, he slowly opened his eyes; thinking that this was the pinkette... but he was wrong... so wrong. The moment his eyes adjusted, he noticed Ino giggling beside him, "Well, good morning!" All he did was give her his usual stoic facial expression as he thought, 'That's right... Sakura and I had a fight and I ended up betraying her trust...' - "Get out." Was all the former Uchiha leader exclaimed almost angrily.

Ino then pouted, "What!? We have sex and you just kick me out the next morning!?" Tilting his head lazily at her, Madara then spoke using a matter-of-fact tone, "Yes, I merely used you. Now get out." Ino was about to throw a fit, but the now pissed off male activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and placed Ino under a genjutsu, "Get dressed and get out." She merely nodded as her dull and lifeless eyes were all too apparent. Once she was gone, Madara showered and got dressed, "I must go to Shisui's to pick up Sakura."

Right as he was leaving, his foot hit the ring she had dropped and he bent over to retrieve the discarded item, "That fool..." Was all he said in a tone that screamed that he, the great Madara Uchiha, was hurting. Once outside he then noticed her key and picked it up, "Damn her!"

Shisui was outside playing with his dog whenever Madara's hauling ass came skidding to a stop, "Where is Sakura!?" Shisui gave a confused facial expression, "Huh? Well good morning to you too Madara. As for Sakura, she isn't here pal; sorry." Folding his arms across his chest, the male perceived as the god of war then sighed heavily - fully knowing Shisui of all people did not lie, "Well, do you know where she would go?"

Tapping his chin, Shisui hummed lightly, "If not Indra and Asura, then I would have to bet that she is with Itachi. She looks to him as if he were an older brother of her own... but..." The male renowned for his teleportation jutsu then trailed off and Madara sighed heavily, "But what Shisui..." Shisui sighed softly and began to scratch the top of his head lightly, "Sasuke has become infatuated with her. For better or for worse, I'm not sure. I just know they wouldn't make a good couple."

Raising his only visible eyebrow, the god of war had to ask, "And why not?" The male with the short black locks then looked towards the male with the long unruly black and blue tinted locks before sighing, "Sasuke isn't good with kids. Sakura wants kids one day, but I know if they ever got married and had a child, Sasuke would simply vanish and leave Sakura all alone to tend for the child all on her own." Madara instantly gained an 'are you fucking kidding me' look and Shisui simply shook his head. Before Shisui could say anything else, Madara was gone and was now heading towards Itachi and Sasuke's family home.

Sakura awoke in the morning feeling a pair of... 'not Madara's arms...' around her. Honestly, that's all she could think about. These arms were not as bulky and muscular as Madara's, so she had to wonder exactly who's arms these were. Well, she didn't have to wonder for long considering he decided to speak, "Morning Sakura." Glancing down, she sweat dropped. Why did all Uchiha men get cold and then proceed to snatch her clothing off so that her body heat could warm them up?

"Er... Sasuke... can I have my shirt?" Sakura spoke in an almost annoyed tone until he effectively was on top of her - lust completely dominating his void like orbs. The pinkette's voice then came out dark as she remembered what happened last night, "Sasuke... I'm going to give you until the count of five to get off of me. One." Sasuke narrowed his orbs dangerously towards the pinkette, yet she continued, "Two. Three. Four. Five."

Suddenly Itachi stiffened up immensely due to hearing one furious tone escaping the pinkette's lips, "YOU SICK BASTARD!" Grabbing the back of his head and groaning, Sasuke proceeded to add in, "Geez Sakura! I was only kidding!" Itachi swiftly ran in, yet quickly turned a deep shade of red considering the pinkette was topless, "S-Sakura! Your s-shirt!" The raven haired male exclaimed as quickly as he could while he covered his eyes. "Huh? OH DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!" The pinkette roared in frustration as she yanked her sleeping shirt back on.

Making breakfast for the two men and herself, they quickly ate and that's when it hit her; she had to go back to working as Naruto's personal energy drink today, yet she had none of her clothing. Turning towards Itachi as she washed the dishes, the pinkette sighed, "Itachi... can - can you come with me to get my clothing? I will be moving back in with my brothers..." Itachi could sense him rapidly approaching, so he sighed, "I don't think that will be necessary."

Right then and there Madara walked in with his arms laced across his broad chest, "Good morning Itachi, Sasuke, Sakura." Sakura quickly darted her emerald based orbs away from the two tails Jinchuriki, causing him to sigh deeply. Glancing towards Itachi and Sasuke, the god of war then gave a nod, "I give you my thanks for caring for her last night." Both brothers nodded respectfully towards their, much alive, ancestor as he walked towards the pinkette, "Let us be going now."

The female Uchiha's eyes became dull as if she were shattering into tiny pieces at that moment and nodded, "All right..." Her monotone voice projected out softly as she stood and placed her coat and combat sandals back on. Now walking, Madara simply glanced at the pinkette, wondering why she was no longer putting up a fight. Reaching the home, Madara opened the door for Sakura and she simply walked in. The sparkle held within her emerald orbs was now nonexistent as she gracefully made her way to her room, 'What's the point in trying to run whenever he will just hunt me down...'

Darkness was completely engulfing her usually so happy-go-lucky personality. So she did the smartest thing, she said nothing. Once the pinkette made it to her room she then stopped and turned around before bowing towards Madara, "I thank you for picking me up. Now, I must get ready to go work." He was not daft, nor was he dense; so he could tell the darkness was beginning to cage her in as if she were a bird never allowed to spread its wings and soar through the open skies freely. There was the added fact that he had endured that same darkness in his life before and all it made you feel was misery.

Slowly reaching towards her, she then turned around and slowly closed the door. All he could feel was the pain and ache within his own heart as he took a gentle step back. Finally a whisper escaped his lips shakily as a single tear rolled down his face, "What have I done...?" Clenching his fists tightly, he then gained a determined facial expression before walking into her room.

She was merely standing there... staring at her Uchiha branded cloak until she felt her body being whipped around to look at him with those same dead cold eyes. Madara couldn't stand seeing her like this, even if she became furious with him - it was better than seeing her this way. Pulling her towards him, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers - instantly feeling a spark within him as he held her close to him.

The moment her lips made contact with his, her eyes widened and she had felt the same spark as Madara, yet couldn't bring herself to care. That's what she thought at least... until she felt the warmth of his tears dripping onto her face. He had betrayed her trust, yet... so had so many others. Naruto had harmed her once, Sasuke had tried to kill her on multiple occasions even though they were clan mates, Kakashi-sensei had normally just ignored her to train Naruto and Sasuke instead of teaching her anything, and Ino had just taken advantage of her to become close to the Uchiha's.

Madara pressed his lips tighter against the pinkette's and rose his hands to tangle his masculine paws within her long bubble gum colored tresses at the base of her skull. Slowly, she pulled away from him and lightly placed her lips against his forehead before simply walking away.

He was so panicked right now that if she were to get dressed, that she would simply cease to exist. Madara simply just did not know what to do in situations such as these, so he bolted towards her as she picked up her clothing and tackled her to her bed, "SAKURA I'M SORRY!" He finally ended up shouting as he stared into her distant eyes. It was if she were now highly guarding her heart and would not let him in due to one too many heartbreaks.

"I know..." Was all she said as she laid beneath him. Madara only knew one thing to do, so he took his cloak off to show his masculine chest. Slowly taking her hand within his own, he placed it over his heart while he mirrored the action by placing his hand over her heart. Once this was done, he noticed nothing had changed, so, he finally had to do it. Leaning down to her ear, a gentle, yet shaky whisper was then released, "Don't you understand by now - that I need you in my life...?"

Sakura's eyes slowly widened as tears gathered in her lush green forest of emeralds as he shifted back to notice her face and placed a gentle palm on her cheek, "I do not like it when you cry..." Sakura couldn't validate whether if his words had been the truth or a lie, yet she still couldn't help but despise this man for having intercourse with another female. However, the pain that now tinted his voice now squeezed her heart tightly as more tears flooded out. Madara released a gentle sigh and got off of the pinkette, only to gently pull her towards him.

It was if her heart had finally broke as she clung to him tightly and sobbed, "YOU BETRAYED NOT ONLY ME PERSONALLY!" This highly confused the god of war until she continued, "YOU BETRAYED ANY LOVE I HELD FOR YOU!" Matatabi's ears flattened against her skull as if she were the one being yelled at, 'Madara... you broke not only her heart, but her soul as well...' Slightly flinching at this, he lowered his head, 'I know Matatabi... I know... I am far too ashamed of myself and of my actions.' Matatabi flicked her two tails slowly and sadly, 'You love her... don't you...?' The only thing Madara replied was, 'Far more than you could imagine...'

Sighing heavily, the two tailed fire wraith cat then growled slightly, 'Then tell me, why are you telling ME when you should be telling her!?' Looking down at the now broken Uchiha female that clung to him, an unsure and shaky breath was released, "Sakura, I must tell you something extremely important. Do you you think you can calm yourself long enough for me to speak...?" Sakura noticed his nervous breathing and the way his muscles had slightly tensed up, so, taking a deep breath; the pinkette then sat up and wiped her eyes.

His hands were trembling now, he couldn't remember the last time that had happened; but here he was scared to speak three words that were long over due to the precious pinkette. Shifting her puffy eyes down, she noticed Madara nervously fidgeting with his hands as they trembled and she reached out and took his much larger hand within her own, "I'm listening."

Well the "cat" had his tongue to say it in a more ironic form considering he had Matatabi, yet, she patiently waited. Matatabi sighed heavily, 'Have you honestly never told a woman that you loved them before? I find that slightly hard to believe Madara. Well, from what I have seen, women fawn over you. NOW JUST SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY!' This slightly shocked the god of war, yet he took a ragged and shallow breath, "Sakura... I... I- I have fallen in love with you without even knowing."

Tilting her head down, the pinkette slowly released his hand, "I see..." Madara's gaze never faltered from her, waiting in hopes that she would continue that sentence, but fate was a cruel thing and she didn't. "Sakura?" Madara spoke nervously and almost timidly due to never having told another woman that he loved them before. Slowly lifting her head so that she peered into his void's, the pinkette had to put her foot down, "Madara... I... I no longer hold any love for you in a romantic sense."

Standing up, she then placed her lips tenderly against his forehead once again, "But at the same time, that doesn't mean I won't always be here for you; because I will." Now Madara's eyes filled with tears and with her good nature, she sat beside him and brought the bulky male's head to place it over her heart, yet at the same time, the pain within her heart after completely breaking this man - broke her further.

'Let it out Madara, there is no need to keep that hardened facade any longer. Not around Sakura. She can still read you even if you do not wish her to.' Matatabi spoke gently. Just as those words were spoken, Madara began to cry against the pinkette's chest while holding her close, "Sakura, please forgive me! I will do anything!" Sakura smiled softly and shook her head as she slightly tightened her grip on him, "I'm sure you would Madara... but all of the power and riches within the world cannot bring you love and happiness."

He now held onto her as if he were holding onto his very own life. The longer he tightly clung to her, the more her heart began to waver due to the fact that she truly did... love him. Pulling away and putting her gear on, the pinkette sighed softly, "I don't know when I will be home, so just keep busy." With that, she vanished with an extremely heavy heart.

Reappearing in Naruto's office, she noticed he did not seem like he was about to keel over and die, "Sakura? I haven't recalled you as of yet. I'm keeping you off of any duties for a while, take a break." Looking down, all she did was nod, yet he could feel all of her pain, "Hey, you okay?" The female Uchiha then looked up, "You think I would be, Madara just told me he loved me so you'd think I'd be jumping for joy... yet..." Naruto sighed heavily, "He broke your trust... just as I did once. Let me ask you, could it have been avoided?"

Sakura's eyes widened at this question. Naruto had just practically told her... all of this... was her fault; therefore, had no reason to be sulking. Chuckling softly as she lowered her head, "I suppose I still can't trust him due to the war... all of the glares I receive, all of the hatred placed on my shoulders, and all of the guilt of not being able to save not only my clansmen - but my comrades as well."

Sighing heavily, the blonde haired Jinchuriki laced his fingers together, "Sakura... I never told you this, but, you two are already officially married." Slowly lifting her head with a horror filled gaze, "What did you just say...?" Shaking his head and glancing to the side, Naruto sighed, "Believe me, I wish it would have been me... but, you two just seemed perfect for one another as if it were destiny. By the way, Boruto is doing fantastic. Acts exactly like a respective member of the Uchiha clan, ya know?" Well that didn't shock her in the slightest, yet she nodded.

"Sakura, go to him. He is your husband." Naruto calmly stated. Gritting her teeth, now she had to ask, "Before I leave... did Madara already know of this...?" Blinking his sapphire blue orbs, Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I was the one who gave him your wedding bands as a wedding present." Bowing, Sakura then vanished, only to appear back home to find Madara had not moved from her room and had cried himself to sleep.

Yeah, no, no fucks given anymore. Thrusting her gloved hand out, she tightly grasped Madara's long black and blue locks before dragging him out of bed. Throwing him against the wall and shocking him awake, Sakura looked beyond pissed off at this point, "YOU FUCKING KNEW WE WERE OFFICIALLY MARRIED AND YET YOU - YOU-" Pausing, the rage was all to apparent held within the pinkette's emerald orbs, "YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH THAT BITCH!?" Before he could even speak, the Uchiha female had already hurled him out of her room, "AND STAY OUT FOR THE REST OF OUR GOD DAMNED LIVES!"

As fate would have it, Boruto unlocked the door and let himself in, "Mom, dad! I'm home!" Sakura had already been running towards the back door and opened it before rushing out with tears streaming down her face, "M-MOM!?" Boruto quickly ran after her and ended up catching her thanks to Madara training him, "MOM CALM DOWN!"

Sakura slowly but surly slumped to the ground and began to sob, "B-Boruto, go home!" Scowling at this, he shook his head, "I AM HOME MOM! MY PLACE IS WITH THE UCHIHA!" Gritting her teeth, the pinkette then shut off all of her emotions in one fell swoop, "With the Uchiha... heh. Tell me, how can your place be with the Uchiha, whenever you are not one yourself. I thought I raised you better. LISTEN TO ME THE FIRST TIME I FUCKING TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING!"

He could honestly tell this had something to do with Madara, but he was not going to pry, "You are correct. I am sorry for getting out of line mother. I shall come back tomorrow to check on you." She now hated the fact that Boruto sounded exactly like Madara. Darting to the Uzumaki residence, he couldn't help but wonder if his pink haired mother was all right.

Sighing, Sakura stood and walked to her favorite waterfall before sitting on the cliff. Oh, she could already feel him coming, so typical. Soon enough, Sakura's body was once again tugged back only to see... "Shisui?" The female Uchiha had thought it was Itachi, but she also guessed that considering she was in such a state of distress right now that she couldn't properly sense people. "Yo, what's bothering you?" Shisui asked softly as he ran his fingers through her long pink tresses. Shaking her head abruptly as if she were completely fine, it was then apparent that Shisui of Teleportation was not going to buy that bullshit.

"Don't worry about me, Shisui. I'll be just fine." Sakura muttered softly. Shisui then hummed softly, "Let me guess, you just now found out Madara was your husband even though everyone else in the entire village knew? Plus, I also felt Ino's chakra in your home yesterday night, so I'm guessing Madara did something indecent out of wedlock? Let me remind you Sakura... he isn't naturally from our time period... so stuff like that was normal back then. He just doesn't understand that."

At this point, Sakura really wasn't even listening and Shisui was all too aware of this, "Sakura, you can't blame him for something he doesn't know." Sakura's dull voice then rang out, "I need to head home now..." The man of teleportation hadn't meant to make the pink haired female feel the way she was feeling, but some times, you have to play the bad guy to open up the other persons eyes.

. . .

Flash forward two months later. Madara had joined the ANBU and was currently out on a mission for a few days while the pinkette sat inside the hospital gently drumming her finger tips against the top of her desk. A gentle knock suddenly came to her door and Shizune opened the door gently, "Sakura...? Your ten o'clock appointment has arrived." Nodding, Sakura blandly spoke, "Send them in..." Shizune had been highly worried about the pink haired Uchiha female, yet never pried just in case.

Suddenly, Ino walked in the room, "Hey Sakura!" Activating her Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with one pissed off expression, the pinkette then saw it and her eyes widened, "N...No..." Ino laughed happily and twirled around, "That's right! Madara and I are going to be having a baby!" Standing and hanging up her doctors coat, she roughly pushed passed Ino while whispering just loud enough for her to hear, "Whore." As she walked by Shizune with one of the coldest looks ever to be produced, all she said was, "Take my shift, I'm heading home."

On her way home, Sakura noticed a brand new pet store and decided to enter. "Welcome! All puppies are half off!" A young girl with a chipper tone exclaimed. Nodding at this, the pinkette began to look at all of the puppies until coming upon a baby snow white ninja hound. Pausing in front of the pup, Sakura then smiled, "I'd like to purchase this one." The young girl walked up to the kennel and unlocked it before picking up the snow white ninja hound and handing it to the pinkette, "Have a name for her yet?"

Sakura began to ponder slightly about this for only a mere moment until noticing the crystal blue eyes the pup held, "Zayla." The young girl nodded and wrote down the name and then told Sakura she could pick out any collar she wanted for the pup for free. Looking at the collars, one definitely caught her eye; a sparkly crystal blue collar was then placed on the puppy and Sakura for once smiled. Grabbing puppy food and two bowls - one for food and one for water, the pinkette then headed home.

Once home, the pink haired Uchiha then placed all of Zayla's things away and put her bowls on the ground after filling one with water and one with puppy food. Walking out back with Zayla hot on her heels, Sakura sat down so that her back leaned against a wall, "He's going to be having a baby Zayla..." Sakura's eyes filled with tears and the pup tilted her head as if trying to understand the human tongue. Suddenly, all of the pinkette's tears dried instantly the moment she heard the front door open and close, along with an extremely heavy sigh.

Madara knew where Sakura would be, so he walked out back to see a puppy in her arms as she stared out into the distance. To him, she looked so beautiful, but once you break someone's trust in you... it is hard to rebuild it. First he just had to ask about the puppy, "Who's puppy is that?" Not even looking towards him, she replied softly, "Mine... her name is Zayla." He knew he royally screwed up, so he wanted to fix what had been broken, "Sak-" Madara started, yet was swiftly cut off, "Congratulations... you're going to be a father..." The pinkette's dead tone rang out, causing Zayla to slightly whine and whimper.

Onyx orbs were now wide with all too apparent shock and horror, "W-What did you say...?" The female Uchiha said nothing more over the matter, yet stood and placed the solid white pup on the ground, "Listen Madara... you should be with the mother of your child, not me." That's when Madara growled angrily before appearing in front of the pinkette, "YOU KNOW THAT I AM MARRIED TO YOU!" Right then and there, the former leader of the Uchiha clan latched his lips onto her's - not allowing her to to escape by any means.

The more she squirmed to get away, the more his muscles tensed up. Tears now flowed down Sakura's face as she began to speak while his lips were glued to her own, "LET ME GO! I'M SICK OF FEELING THIS WAY!" Matatabi could only feel Sakura's pain and sorrow as she softly spoke up, 'Madara... some times, if you love someone enough; you must let them go.' Madara knew the two tailed feline was correct, but he was just too hard headed to listen.

Suddenly the front door opened and Boruto called out, "Mom, dad? You home?" Madara released a heavy sigh and slowly released the pinkette, "Yes Boruto, we are home." The blonde haired child then shot through the already opened back door, "I heard we're going to have a baby! I hope it's a little brother!" Madara quickly slapped his hand over Boruto's mouth and Sakura ran inside with Zayla quick to follow suit.

All Boruto and Madara could hear now were the pinkette's sobs of sorrow, causing the blonde haired child to glance suspiciously up at his pseudo father, "Father, is there something I don't know?" Running his hands through his long messy mane on black and blue locks, the former Uchiha leader groaned internally, "The child is mine... but not your mother's..."

This instantly caused the blonde haired preteen's eyes to widen, "But father - that means - but I thought - HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MOTHER!?" Boruto instantly darted inside of the home and ran to where Sakura was and gently opened her door before rushing to her and taking her into his protective hold. Madara stood there feeling like a monster now... how could he not? He had just further damaged the one person he had come to love and treasure the most within this world.

. . .

"Let's see... your due date works out to be... May Nineteenth." Shizune spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. 'That doesn't add up... Madara and I got together in October, so the child should be born in July.' Ino thought to herself as a thoughtful expression came to her face, 'You're kidding me... this is Sai's wretched baby!? I WANTED AN UCHIHA CHILD! Well, I will still get my way no matter what.'

"Ino, Ino, INO!" Shizune yelled, causing the short haired blonde to jump slightly, "Yes?" Shizune rose an eyebrow slightly, "So do you know who the father is?" The Yamanaka heiress nodded, beginning her far fetched lie, "Yes, it is Madara Uchiha." Shizune instantly glanced down as she wrote this down, 'I see, so Sakura has been battling these demons all by herself for this long.'

Sighing heavily, Shizune then handed Ino the slip of paper, "Will you also need something to explain all of this to your father so that the father of your baby and yourself can be wed?" Ino quickly nodded and the short black haired doctor wrote all of the information down for not only her father, but the Uchiha elders as well, "You will need to take one copy to the Uchiha elders. Understood?" Ino slightly nodded and then stood up before turning and leaving the hospital - all while thinking, 'I win Sakura.'

As she left the hospital, the short haired bleach blonde Yamanaka heiress decided it wouldn't hurt to make her father wait; so she made her way directly to the Uchiha clan elders. Once inside the Uchiha compound, she came up to the elders home as fast as she possibly could and knocked on their door, only to hear a muffled, "You may enter." Entering the home, Ino stopped in front of them with a smile, "Good afternoon Uchiha clan elders!" The female elder instantly rose an eyebrow at Ino, "And what might the Yamanaka heiress need from us Uchiha's?"

Nodding her head, she took a step forward and handed the two elders the piece of paper. The moment they finished scanning over it, their eyes widened, "And you are SURE this child is Madara's!?" Ino firmly nodded and the Uchiha elders gave a heavy sigh. They had never been fond of the Yamanaka heiress and probably never would be, "Very well. We shall now make the marriage between Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sakura null and void considering they have no children. We shall call upon Madara and then the two of you will live together, but believe me... this could take months. That man is rather stubborn. Shisui, go and fetch Madara for us please."

Shisui appeared with a face full of hurt, yet nodded, "As you wish lord elders." With that, the man praised for his teleportation skills vanished before reappearing in front of the pinkette's and god of war's home. Walking up to the front door, Shisui slightly hesitated, yet began to knock slightly until Madara answered the door, "Shisui, what is it..."

It was obvious to Shisui of Teleportation that the god of war was in one foul mood as of now, yet he released a gentle sigh, "Hey man, the Uchiha elders need to speak with you." Glancing back slightly with a saddened expression, he then nodded, "Very well then." He knew Boruto would take care of Sakura while he was gone, and that right there was a huge relief.

The two vanished before appearing in front of the elders home and walking in, "Lord elders, I have brought Madara as asked." The elders gave a sad smile and nodded towards the man known for his teleportation before dismissing him from the room. "Madara, we have just gained word that the Yamanaka heiress now carries your child. Considering yourself and Sakura have not produced any children of your own, your marriage is now null and void. You are now going to be married to the Yamanaka heiress."

Madara's face then grew dark, "WHAT WILL SAKURA DO THEN!?" The elders then sighed heavily, "She will be moving back in with her two brothers, Indra and Asura. Considering she is still pure, she can still be wed off to others. Ino, come on out." As Ino came into view, Matatabi spoke up, 'Madara, something does not feel right with the Yamanaka girl.'

Sakura finally told Boruto that he should be getting home and he nodded, even though something felt off. The moment he left, Shisui appeared in her room, "Sakura?" Turning her head towards the man of teleportation, she merely gave him a look that told him to just spit it out. Shisui's voice then projected in a whisper, "Sakura... you need to start packing. You will be moving back in with Indra and Asura the moment you have finished." Looking towards Shisui, the pinkette then sighed heavily, "Why..." Shisui instantly looked down as he spoke, "It's because your marriage to Madara... is now null and void."

That was it, she had, had enough of. Merely nodding, the only thing she could say in a dead and monotone voice was, "All right." As she quickly packed, the male of teleportation hadn't even realized that she had been packing for two separate paths. Finally done, Sakura stood and merely handed one scroll to Shisui, "Can you take that ahead for me and give it to my brothers while I write Madara a note?"

Shisui sadly nodded, took the scroll, and foolishly vanished. Picking up a piece of paper, the only thing she wrote to Madara was... 'Bye.' With that, the pinkette gained a determined facial expression as she picked up Zayla before vanishing outside of the village gates before sprinting into the darkness that was now settling in.

Madara was exhausted and what was making him so exhausted was the chatterbox next to him that would NOT shut up. Ino was no good at cooking, cleaning, or anything maternal related; yet the god of war had been hoping the pinkette was still there to make him a delicious home cooked meal. However, all of those hopes clearly became a pipe dream of his once the house Sakura and himself had been residing in came into view with no lights on at all.

Entering the home slowly, he could still feel her chakra everywhere and instantly began to run to the room that the feisty pinkette and himself once shared. Slamming the door open, he then noticed that all of her Uchiha branded clothing, along with all of her gear were gone. 'She must be back with Indra and Asura already. Those two probably want to kill me now.' Madara could only think in an amused tone as if it weren't a bad option.

Falling asleep in his original room with the door and windows locked so that Ino could not get in made him feel a tad bit better, but something now made him uneasy as he tossed and turned. Around midnight, he woke up panting heavily, drenched in sweat, and tears sliding down his face due to having his first night terror of losing Sakura.

Morning came all too quickly as he lugged his exhausted body out of bed. He hadn't known Sakura had that much trouble sleeping to the point where only three to four hours of sleep had been gained. Walking out of his room, Ino sat there with a pout - yet all he could care about was making coffee.

The moment he sat down with a cup of well deserved coffee, rough slams in the form of knocking to the door could be heard and the god of war groaned before standing and nearing the door. Unlocking and opening the door, there stood Indra and Asura with their arms folded. Madara was about to speak before Indra shouted out, "WHERE IN THE FUCK IS MY LITTLE SISTER, MADARA!?" This made Madara's eyes grow large and his hands began to tremble slightly, "I-I thought she was with you..." The sincerity held within the former Uchiha leader's tone caused Indra and Asura to glance nervously at one another until nothing but silence could be heard.

It had now been two whole years since Sakura had left the village and the now massive white wolf appearing ninja hound padded along side her master. The hour was growing rather late and Sakura yawned sleepily, "All right girl, let's set up for the night." This was all Zayla could remember now - traveling and more traveling. Once dinner was done with the Uchiha female snuggled up to Zayla to not have any night terrors, yet the ninja hound began to growl angrily at incoming chakra that felt dangerous.

Hearing Zayla growling definitely caused the pinkette to snap awake and activate her Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to see a mere rogue shinobi coming her way until skidding to a stop, "An Uchiha? I didn't know that the Uchiha's used ninja hounds." Staying silent with cold and hard eyes; he then smirked, "I will be taking all of your belongings now!" Vanishing and appearing in front of him, she captured his eyes with her own - placing him under a heavy genjutsu before cutting him down where he stood with her sword.

. . .

Madara was at home with Ino and "his" two year old. The only thing he could possibly think was, 'This child still looks nothing like me even after two years... what is going on...' Peering suspiciously at Ino, who deemed it fit to get all dolled up and go out all night instead of having the responsibility of taking care of their child. Yet, he did remember overhearing Shizune speaking about this thing where you can test the DNA of yourself, your spouse, and your child to see if the child was actually indeed, yours.

Considering Sakura had trained him in medical ninjutsu, Madara knew blood was not the only way to get a DNA sample. Walking to Ino, he noticed a single strand of hair out of place and he swiftly pulled it out without her even noticing. Looking at the child, he then made a coughing gesture that he had taught him so that Madara could get out of that god forsaken house for a bit, only for the child to start pretend coughing. Rushing to him, the god of war placed his hand to his forehead and glanced towards Ino, "I shall be taking him to the hospital. His fever is quite high."

Shrugging at this, Ino continued to place more make-up on. Picking the child up, Madara calmly walked out of the home until closing the door - yet once that door closed he vanished and reappeared at the hospital. Walking inside, Madara glanced about until finding Shizune, "Shizune, I require your assistance." Shizune seemed rather puzzled, yet nodded, "Sure, with what?" That's when the god of war's eyes narrowed, "A DNA test..."

The only thing the short black haired doctor could think was, 'It took you long enough.' Yet nodded to his request, "This way." Following Shizune, blood was drawn from Madara and the child and then placed within the testing box, "It should only take a moment." Before long, both Shizune's and Madara's eyes widened profoundly as they stared at the words...

'FALSE'

Oh... he was not happy in the slightest. So Shizune took the child and quickly printed off the results before handing them to the god of war, "Be sure to give that to the Uchiha elders, all right Madara?" The only thing he could do was nod with one pissed off facial expression.

Vanishing and appearing back within the Uchiha compound as Ino was leaving - looking like a prostitute - Madara stopped right in front of her with his arms folded securely. Ino huffed heavily, "What Madara!? Am I not allowed to go and see my friends!?" By now, the former leader of the prestigious Uchiha clan's eye was now heavily twitching before he shot his hand out holding a piece of paper, "Do you take me for a fool!? THAT IS NO UCHIHA!" Ino's eyes widened and by now, other Uchiha's were outside listening... including the elders.

"Ino! You have deceived the Uchiha! Tried to kill Sakura Uchiha! Drove Madara and Sakura apart! You even went so low as to make Sakura feel so bad that she became a rogue shinobi!" The unknown, yet all too familiar voice yelled. Ino's eyes widened immensely as she turned around, "L-Lord S-Seventh!?" Naruto stood there with a look that would scare the devil himself, well, unless you were Madara Uchiha - as Ino took a step back and Naruto yelled out, "INO YAMANAKA! I HEREBY FORBID YOU FROM STEPPING FOOT INTO THE LEAF VILLAGE EVER AGAIN! Take your son and get out..."

. . .

'What in the hell is all of that yelling about?' The pinkette thought as she walked aimlessly around the "world", not really realizing she was right where she found Madara the first time. Zayla whined and nudged her hand, causing her to stop spacing out before she realized where she was, "OH HELL NO!" Sakura yelled angrily, yet, by now she knew the moment she had yelled it was too late for escape. So, she simply plopped down and huffed angrily.

Well, she had been right to say the least, because he appeared within record timing, "Sakura..." His tone was gentle, soft, yet masculine and musky. Releasing a rather dreaded sigh, the pinkette rose her head so that her brilliant emerald orbs would bore holes into his void like orbs, "What..." Her cold tone projected as she continued, "...Madara."

He approached her slowly, fully knowing it was all his fault she no longer found any light within this world, before kneeling down and handing her a piece of paper that contained the DNA results. Taking the folded piece of paper, she slowly opened it... only for her eyes to finally fill with tears of relief after such a long time.

Blinking rapidly, she finally spoke in a normal tone, "But if it wasn't your child, then who's was it?" Madara could only shrug as if he honestly didn't care. That's when he vanished, only to appear right in front of her face, "The only child I am willing to care for, is an Uchiha. However, the only child or children I am willing to care for-" pausing to gently take her chin within his much larger hand before continuing, "-are the ones... that you bless me with... Sakura."

Turning bright red, Sakura dashed her emerald orbs to the side as if not wanting to get to close to this beast of a man. This is when Zayla began to growl towards the god of war, whom only tilted his orbs towards the canine, "Zayla, come." It was as if Zayla had never forgotten Madara's voice and instantly bounded over to him. Raising his gloved hand, he began to love on the wolf appearing ninja hound, "My, my, you sure have grown." Even though he spoke with an unenthusiastic voice, it was if the ninja hound knew the god of war was showing love due to the way she then licked up his entire face; which earned a grossed out, "GAH!" From the male.

Now directing his attention back to the pinkette as he continued to love on Zayla, he spoke softly, "Sakura... will you not come home?" Zayla then whined softly, as if she were tired of traveling and just wanted a home to return to every day. Glancing towards Zayla and Madara, who now seemed joined at the hip, the pinkette lowered her head in defeat, "Fine. However... I won't live with you Madara. I will be living with my brothers."

Scratching the back of his head, the god of war sighed softly, "About that... your brothers are now married. Indra married Izumi Uchiha and Asura married Kanna Uchiha." Well this day was just getting better and better, wasn't it? Sakura ended up sighing extremely heavily, "Whatever. Just stay out of my room Madara."

A hurt filled expression filled his face whenever Matatabi spoke up, 'Madara... you honestly cannot expect her to trust you instantaneously. You broke her trust far more than once. Allow me to remind you; you started a war with the attempts of putting the entire world in jeopardy, you allowed her to get kidnapped by the Mist Village so that she could be tortured, you failed to tell her that you were a Jinchuriki, you never told her that you two had formally gotten married, and worst... you then had intercourse with the woman who ended up driving Sakura out of the village WHILE you were married.'

Madara was silent for the longest time until lowering his head and finally replying, 'Yes... I am aware...' Sakura noticed the former Uchiha leader's pained facial expressions as they walked back towards the village, yet did not ask about the matter. Now inside of the village, everyone's jaw began to drop. It was not just that the pinkette's hair was longer, oh no, it's the fact that she was even home.

Reaching the Uchiha compound, the first thing Sakura even heard was, "SAKURA~!" Oh, she knew all too well as to who this was as she turned to see Asura hauling ass towards her before skidding to a stop, picking her up in a big teddy bear hug, and twirling her around. It never mattered how old they got, Asura would always stay just that - Asura.

It was almost as if the moment the younger brother had set her down and placed a kiss to her diamond baring forehead, she was effectively snatched up again; causing the pinkette to squeak, "Indra! You're squishing me!" Setting her down, he wiped his eyes as a two year old long haired mini-Indra teetered out. Right at that moment, Sakura's eyes filled with tears, "Big brother, you had a baby?" Indra chuckled and reached down to the toddler before lifting her up and placing her into Sakura's arms before she babbled, "Daddy who dis?"

Indra smiled softly and ruffled his daughter's hair, "That's your aunt Sakura, Saika. She's my little sister." Saika looked up at the pinkette with sparkling eyes, "Oh! She one in picture with daddy and uncle Asura!" Her speech rolled out like a literal train wreck, making Sakura smile softly, "Hello Saika, I'm very happy I finally get to meet you."

Madara now watched how the pink haired Uchiha was acting around children and actually began to smile softly until a soft gasp was heard coming from the toddler. Glancing down to Saika, Sakura tilted her head, "Saika, what's wrong honey?" Saika then pointed straight to Madara, causing Sakura to turn as she spoke, "Uncle Madara smile! Face always-" Saika then mimicked Madara's normal facial expression, which caused the pinkette to burst into laughter, "Is that so? Well, aunt Sakura is here to make uncle Madara smile again."

"REALLY!?" Saika squealed happily and clapped her hands. Indra couldn't help but laugh at that, he just honestly couldn't due to his child. Hell, Madara did have one stern facial expression. Clapping his hands together, Indra then scooped his daughter out of his sister's arms, making both females pout, "Sorry Saika, bed time. Plus, you can go see aunt Sakura any time. She lives with uncle Madara." Nodding sleepily now, Indra turned to face his sister, "I'm glad you're home Sakura." Nodding was the only thing she could do as she watched the child being taken into the home.

Now Madara and Sakura continued to walk back home whenever she spoke randomly, "I know Naruto is doing fine, but I have to wonder how Sasuke is doing. He was part of the original Team Seven, so I will always worry about him no matter what." That's when the god of war froze and his breath hitched within his throat, causing the pinkette to turn and look at him, "What's wrong?" Madara shot his hand out, took Sakura's, and got her back to their original home quickly due to knowing what he was about to tell her would cause her to have a mental breakdown.

Opening the door quickly, rushing in, and closing it behind them with Zayla right on their heels; Madara then took a deep breath, "Sakura..." Tilting her head slightly, she answered almost nervously, "Yeah...?" Slowly turning around to face her, the god of war dropped his arms to his side for the first time as he spoke, "Sasuke... was killed in action..."

It was if this was told her in slow motion due to the way her eyes slowly widened and filled with tears as her voice then projected out within a whisper, "What did you say...?" Madara honestly didn't want to have to repeat it so all he said was, "Sakura, come here..." A flash of pink was all he saw and she slammed into him so hard that he actually lost balance and fell over while holding her tightly.

'Madara! She's hyperventilating and she is in a state of shock!' Matatabi yelled within his mind, causing him to sit them both up. "SAKURA!" Madara yelled continuously until realizing it wasn't going to work, "Damn her hard head. She will not be too pleased with this." Lying Sakura's body down, he then straddled the pinkette before he leaned in swiftly and captured her lips. Slowly her breathing began to become steady once again... yet, her flavor was so addictive that he could not bring himself to pull away; yet - neither did she.

Sakura had felt dead for so long that the news of Sasuke's death basically hurled her into a hole that she was simply unable to climb out of. Well, that was until she felt Madara's lips against her own. Soon enough, she brought her hands up and tangled them within his unruly spiked locks. She needed to feel alive again, but was this honestly the best way? She honestly couldn't bring herself to care at the moment.

Slowly pulling away from her, he began to make a trail of kisses down the female Uchiha's neck and causing her to slightly squirm, a squirm he was all too familiar with. 'I wouldn't do it Madara. Remember what she told you? It sounded as if she didn't want you near her.' Madara rolled his eyes, 'Ah yes, Matatabi, but humans are foolish creatures that change their minds far too often.' Lowering her ears to her head, the two tails shook her head, 'I just hope you know what you are doing Madara.'

Right then and there the man renowned as the god of war pulled away from the feisty pinkette to balance himself on one hand as the other slowly lifted to place it against her beating heart, "Sakura... I won't do anything you wish me not to do..." Sakura had never seen this side of the man named Madara Uchiha. Emerald eyes slightly widened, yet then remembered that she simply could not trust him right now... right?

Sitting up before standing up, Sakura turned and walked to her bedroom while Zayla stayed with Madara; which irritated the pinkette to no ends. She had taken care of Zayla this entire time, not Madara! Yet then remembered something Itachi had once told her as they laid in a field watching a pack of crows flying around, "Hey, did you know that animals can feel emotions? Some times I feel like animals might be smarter than human beings are."

No... she still could not trust him... there was far too much damage done to simply be undone within a simple day, "The same rules apply Madara. Do not come into my room." Scowling slightly at this, Madara erected his body so that he now stood, "Tell me, did you hate that kiss that much?" Sakura's eyes then shifted into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, "Do not patronize me! For I-"

"AM SAKURA UCHIHA!"
