Narrator's POV

CHAPTER EIGHT

In the Depths of Despair

Sakura woke up on the subsequent morning to an empty bed. Sasuke had gotten what he wanted last night and left. The thought of that made her feel…dirty. She felt used and tainted; and most of all, she felt guilty. She was taken advantage of last night and she…enjoyed it! Sakura was disgusted at herself. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her family had recently been slaughtered and this is what she turned to – sex. But that was not what bothered her at the moment. She was aching all over – both emotionally and physically. She was practically shaking with anger. She hated the Uchiha. Sasuke had merely used her as a toy. But as she fumed, an intense and unexpected sting filled her head with unbearable agony and soon her vision began to swirl.

Sakura walked into the room. She knew what to expect, but as she scanned the room, he was no where to be found. Sasuke's presence was no where. Then, emerging from the darkness of the shadows, a human figure made its way to the woman who was shaking with guilt. Sasuke's image was now visible under the rays of the moonlight. He said nothing verbally to her but she knew what was going through his mind at the moment for his eyes revealed an unimaginable amount of anger.

"Where were you?" Sasuke asked unkindly.

"A-at the hospital," Sakura stuttered without making eye contact.

"You're lying!" Sasuke growled. "You were in his room…again!" he said, still moving closer to her and as she stepped backwards he moved to toward her.

"N-no…I saw you. I saw you with that girl at the bar two weeks ago!" Sakura said as she instantly began to tear apart. Sakura got a good look at the woman with whom Sasuke was with. She looked as if she were in her early twenties.

"That was part of a mission, Sakura! A mission!" Sasuke yelled, completely enraged by his wife's stupid assumptions.

"Oh, so it was your mission to sleep with that woman?!" Sakura screamed; her face wet with hot tears. She placed a hand over her swollen belly. She knew that too much stress was unhealthy for the child growing inside her – Sasuke's child – their child. Sakura then realized that she could no longer move backwards for her back was now to the wall. Sasuke was now inches away from her.

"I DID NOT SLEEP WITH HER SAKURA!" Sasuke bellowed, pouring out his entire wrath. Sakura said nothing as she was now completely frightened by his tone. Whenever Sasuke was angry, he was capable of many things. She had seen what he had done to gangsters, who tried to defy him, but those were merely gangsters; what would he do to her, knowing that her level of commitment meant a lot more than that of the gangsters'? He growled and she squinted.

"You still don't seem to understand your place as the wife of an Uchiha, Sakura. And I don't think you'll EVER learn! The next time I see you with Sasori or ANY of the men from my brother's gang, I'll kill them," Sasuke said, slowly moving away. Sakura stretched an arm out to caress his face – her way of asking for forgiveness, but he slapped it away.

"I don't want filthy hands on me!" he said with disgust. Sakura hugged her rounded stomach, crying endlessly. What had she done? She had just ruined her relationship with Sasuke. During the past months of her pregnancy, she was able to experience the softer side of Sasuke; their relationship had become something that was worth living for. She began to feel his love – all of this, only she saw – only she was able to experience this aspect of Sasuke Uchiha. But now, Sasuke probably regretted opening up to her. The air was becoming thick and suddenly breathing became a little difficult.

'Too much stress is bad for the baby…too much…' Sakura recited mentally. But her sobbing only worsened until her breathing became harder and her attempts to get air was more frequent. She felt her stomach tighten harshly. It felt a bit worse than menstrual cramps.

"Someone…please…" Sakura whimpered in almost a whisper, trying to call out for help, but her tone was too soft for anyone to hear her. The pains were becoming worse by the minute. She knew her legs did not have long again until they gave up on her.

"SASUKE!" Sakura managed to scream in agony and within five minutes, he was at her side, supporting her so that she would not lose her balance. It was certainly too early for her to go into labor for Sakura was only six months along. This was definitely the effects of Braxton-Hicks contractions. Sakura got a glance at Sasuke's face, his expressions unreadable as always. Carefully, he helped her walk over to the bed and before leaving to call the midwife, he gave her a glass of water. He returned in ten minutes with a woman who looked as if she were in her late fifties – the midwife, Matsumi.

"Mrs. Uchiha, I presume that you are already aware of Braxton Hicks Contractions?" Matsumi asked with a calm tone and a smile on her face. Sakura nodded in pain.

"Alright, what you need, young lady is a nice, warm bath. That should keep your body relaxed and you'll feel a lot better," Matsumi said before turning to Sasuke. "I'm sorry, Mr. Uchiha but I'm afraid I won't be able to help her with the bath. There's really somewhere else I should be at this time," Matsumi said to Sasuke, looking down at the floor as she spoke to him.

"What is more important than your job Ms. Matsumi? What is so important that you cannot do what you're being paid for?" Sasuke asked the woman in an angered tone.

"Sir, my sister is awfully ill and she's at the hospital. I need to see her. The doctors-" Matsumi was rudely interrupted when Sasuke grunted and said, "Just leave."

Sasuke ended up having to undress and bathe Sakura, which felt a bit awkward to her because usually when the two took baths together, it, was mainly because of a needy reason in which Sasuke could never control himself. But this time, he seemed to have a forceful control over himself. During all of his actions, he said nothing to her and by that, Sakura knew that he was still angry with her. She was relieved that at least he cared for the baby. Of course he would. She knew that they were having a baby girl from the ultrasound. Very slowly, the pain began to ease and her breathing was returning to its normal pace…

Sakura squinted from the pain that lasted for approximately five minutes longer, after the flashback. Out of all her flashbacks she had been getting lately, this one was the longest. It surely made her curious – not because she wanted to know what happened after the bath scene, but what the incident with the Sasori guy was all about. Sakura made a move to get off the bed when a sharp pain shot through her arm. She had completely forgotten about her wound. At this, she moved her body gently to avoid experiencing more pain. When she was finally able to stand, she stretched her arms upwards, ridding herself of all her laziness. Then, she stepped forward, in attempt to proceed to the bathroom, when a sudden jolt of pain was felt between her thighs. Sakura grimaced. Sasuke had used her; carelessly and that only heated her wrath.

The pain between her thighs was not intense, so Sakura was able to walk with ease. She and Tenten were earlier given a tour around the huge manor, so Sakura was able to find her way around. She was clearly looking for Sasuke, but at the same time, she was thinking about going to the kitchen for some coffee before continuing to the Assembly Suite where the gangsters would most likely be. But her inner self protested against that, so she continued walking towards the Assembly Suite, completely ignoring the kitchen. When she entered the room, everyone was there including Tenten. But when Sakura caught the look on everyone's faces, she was surprised. Shikamaru's face had his 'what-a-drag' look, Naruto's was idiotically shocked, and Sai's was unreadable as was Neji's but Sasuke for once looked a bit stressed. Something really bad had to occur for Sasuke to reveal even an ounce of emotion like this. She looked to Tenten who looked surprised and a little worried.

"Sasuke, can I talk to you for a minute? In private," Sakura said. He walked towards her, his face serious.

Sasuke followed Sakura out of the Assembly Suite in silence. She led him to the porch outside the room. She felt Tenten's curious gaze on her. Sakura leaned against the banisters and Sasuke on the wall, his eyes fixed upon the tiled floor. She wanted to yell at him; to pour out all of her feelings with just one sentence, but somehow she could not think of the right words to say to him. She looked at him. His eyes were now closed and his arms were folded across his chest.

"I wanted to speak with you for many reasons," she began, and as she said that one sentence, the sentences of all the other things she wanted to say to him were now rapidly forming in her mind.

"Hn," he said under his breath, making her realize that she had paused a little too long.

"Firstly – I've been having some flashbacks lately," she continued, "and the recent one has been a little vague and I've been meaning to ask you about it."

"When have you started having them?" he asked, sounding a little interested.

"Ever since we kissed last night…sometimes they come with migraines depending on how I emotionally feel," Sakura explained. Sasuke said nothing on hearing this; he inquired nothing about her pain nor did he try to comfort her in any way. 'Yeah, he is such a husband…' she thought sarcastically and bitterly.

"Who is Sasori?" she asked, remembering that someone by that name was mentioned in her vision. This brought back unwanted and angering memories for Sasuke Uchiha.

"Hn, you don't remember – you were his bitch behind my back," he answered disgustedly. A wave of shock and confusion combined together engulfed her insides. She had no idea as to how to think of that affair. Was this a lie? Was she having an affair? She could not see herself being unfaithful in marriage; she needed details about this.

"I d-" she began to say, but was cut off by Sasuke.

"I have other important matters to deal with…Akatsuki will be here tomorrow. Itachi would like to see you then," he said before rudely walking out on her. And by that, she could tell that the flashback dealt with something that Sasuke could not bear to recall. Her flashbacks were a bigger encouragement which urged her to find out more about her past. This was only the beginning…

After the upsetting confrontation of Sasuke, Sakura made her way to the kitchen. What she needed to clear her head off of her husband's disturbing behavior, was a warm cup of black coffee. Later, she would have to meet Temari at the motel, and Sakura was hoping for that time to reach soon. Sakura needed to explain her real identity to Temari. Sakura had only mentioned the fact that Orochimaru and Danzo were out to assassinate she and Tenten. A small distance away, she could hear the movements of dishes from in the kitchen. She wondered if it was Sasuke. If it was, she would either completely forget about her coffee and leave or she would stand up to him and demand an answer which explained her vision. Thankfully, the person in the kitchen was Tenten. Sakura sighed in relief.

"Morning!" she said without making eye contact with her sister.

"Good morning," Tenten replied, handing Sakura a cup of coffee.

"Thanks. Were you expecting me to come into the kitchen?" Sakura said taking a glance at the cup.

"No, I was actually going to look for you, but you made my life easier," Tenten said with a grin. "I don't mean to pry, but just out of curiosity, what was that little discussion with Sasuke about?" Tenten asked.

"It's nothing really…it was about some flashbacks I've been having and he just got upset. Don't ask what it was about because I don't fully understand," Sakura replied.

"I hope you two are not being careless. Did he use a condom?" Tenten asked and Sakura spitted out her mouthful of coffee.

'How the hell did she know about last night?!' Sakura asked herself inwardly and in shock.

"How did you…" she asked Tenten, her words trailing off.

"It's not all that hard to miss a hickey, Saki. Especially when it's red and on the visible part of your neck," Tenten said sternly. "Sakura, you know what the consequences are…did he use a condom or not?"

"I wasn't able to ask him that. He walked out on me before I could've even got there with the conversation," Sakura replied and put her cup into the sink, "But, I can't get pregnant because yesterday was the fifth day since my menstruation for this month."

They both knew that things would not go as planned if Sakura had gotten pregnant. They would be unable to avenge their family's death and more than likely, the risk of getting caught by Orochimaru or Kimimaro would be higher. "It won't happen again," Sakura added lastly. So far, the two female former FBI Agents received no word of Kimimaro's whereabouts, but that was the tricky thing about that man. He usually worked in stealth, so there was no telling of where he could be at present. That was how he was able to find his targets with ease. Whereas, Orochimaru liked to let his targets know that he was out to get them; to make them scared to death so that they would run. This made his work fun in his opinion.

"Yeah, but now we have a bit of a problem," Tenten said.

"What is it?" Sakura asked, leaning on the counter.

"The nuclear bomb on which Onikage was working, only works with a disk needed for detonation. The compact disk was incomplete – it needs to be encrypted. The thing is, sometime during the early half of this morning, the disk was stolen," Tenten said. This was bad; very bad. Now that it had been in the wrong hands, the entire continent of America was in danger. Hell, the effects of this explosion could affect the entire world.

"How the hell…?" Sakura asked.

"Shikamaru, Sai and Naruto are looking into that. They're trying to hack into security satellites while Neji and Sasuke are currently working on the surveillance tapes for any possible identification of the people behind this," Tenten answered. This explained why everyone was so tense in the Assembly Suite; this was the 'other important thing' Sasuke was referring to before he walked off.

Sakura assisted Shikamaru, Sai and Naruto, but their efforts were to no avail. She had worked with satellites on many occasions at the FBI, so she was also a professional at finding locations and tracking easily. She had even learnt a lot from one of her colleagues, Shino Aburame, a computer genius who was infatuated with insects. Maybe he would have been able to help them in the situation if he was not FBI. Time flew as she worked with the guys. It was 6:10 p.m. – the promised time for the meeting with Temari was 7:00 p.m. She apologized to Shikamaru and the others for having to leave and then made her way down to Sasuke's room. When she opened the door to the bedroom, there was an unexpected sight that caught her eyes. There, sitting up on the bed was the figure of a cute and dainty child with beautiful raven-black, silken hair. Her gleaming emerald orbs were fixed upon a pretty, baby-doll, her hands clutching a brush tightly as she brushed her own ebony hair. Kagerou Uchiha only noticed Sakura enter the room when the door shut. Her emerald gazes had fallen upon Sakura. Sasuke was presumably in the showers as Sakura heard the sounds of water falling onto the bathroom tiles. Kagerou said nothing to Sakura; however, the child was aware that Sakura was her mother – which Sasuke had told her a few days ago. Sakura walked over to her daughter on the bed, her eyes welling up with tears.

"It's nice to finally meet you," she said to her baby girl before embracing her. Kagerou's short arms hugged her mother's neck gently, but still she said nothing. Sakura broke free of the hug and looked at her daughter. She was indeed beautiful. She had a bit of both Sasuke and Sakura in her. Her hair was in completely loosened and she was all dressed in her pajamas – a light blue, long sleeved T-shirt with a matching pair of loose-fitting pants. Kagerou then attempted to braid her hair, but seemed to be having some trouble.

"Let me help you with that," Sakura said before placing the child onto her lap. Her fingers entwined in Kagerou's soft hair as she braided the strands into one ponytail. Sasuke exited the bathroom, fully dressed and just in time to see the sight of the mother and her daughter. He smiled inwardly at this. Sakura knew that he was standing behind them, but said nothing to acknowledge him. When she was done with Kagerou's hair, the child mumbled a small 'thank you' and picked up her doll.

"What's her name?" Sakura asked, referring to the doll.

"Ririn," Kagerou answered, without looking at Sakura. Sakura felt strange – most four year olds loved to talk and prattle about childish things, but Kagerou was different. She did not seem to talk at all. So it seemed that Kagerou would only speak if she was to answer a question. This bothered Sakura badly.

"Kagerou, go to bed," Sasuke ordered emotionlessly – not harsh but certainly not like a father would speak to his child.

"Yes father," she said before getting under the covers.

"Hn"

"Sakura, is there somewhere you need to be?" he asked her and it did not even sound like a question.

"I'll be leaving now," Sakura said, grabbing her black leather jacket. She was surprised to see Sasuke follow her out of the room.

"You're coming?" she asked him, seeing that he too, was wearing his jacket.

"Hn"

"But she requested that I visit alone," Sakura protested sternly.

"Hn"

She knew that all of his 'hn's' meant 'I don't care' from the way they sounded, so she decided that it would be useless to protest any further, and they both got into Sasuke's black Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR and drove out of the Onikage compound. Still, Sakura did not understand why Sasuke chose to accompany her, after all, he seemed upset with her earlier and because of that, she had no intention of pressing him about the flashback any more. However, what haunted her mind the most was the way Kagerou had communicated with her earlier. Was it because Kagerou hated her for not being there for her? Sakura could not really tell because her unresponsive behavior could have also been due to some sort of disorder she had. Sakura noted the way Sasuke had spoken to Kagerou before they left the manor. But she guessed that it was just the way he would be with children; that was expected from him; after all, he never showed his feelings. Suddenly she felt that could not bear keeping the question locked up inside any longer.

"Why is she like that?" she asked unclearly. Sasuke frowned at the vague question, his eyes on the road. She noticed his confused look, so instead she repeated, "Why does Kagerou only speak when she needs to answer a question…I mean, she's four right? Isn't she supposed to be really talkative?"

"She stopped communicating when she turned three," was all he said in his signature tone. This still left Sakura with many unanswered questions. When she confronted Sasuke earlier, she wanted to ask him if he used a condom during their act last night, but now she realized that it would have been a stupid question – if he had not used it, she would not have conceived anyways because she was still within a week after her periods for the month.

"What was the first thing she ever said?" Sakura asked, averting her thoughts back to her daughter.

"Sai," Sasuke replied.

'What the…not even 'Daddy'?' Sakura said in shock, mentally.

Sakura chuckled.

"What?" Sasuke asked dully.

"Did Sai baby sit her or something?" Sakura asked, now laughing at the thought of Sai being beaten up or something by a toddler.

"No, she heard the name somewhere and picked it up," Sasuke said. It was amazing to Sakura how fast children could learn.

"So…what was her first word?"

"You're annoying," he answered flatly.

"She said tha-" "No, you are annoying…" Sasuke cut her off rudely and harshly. Sakura fumed. Then, she realized something. Sasuke never like to speak much, so since he was Kagerou's father, she must have inherited that aspect purely from him. It was a possibility and it made her relieved that her daughter had no disorder – it was just her natural personality. Within minutes they reached the motel. Sasuke stayed in the car as Sakura got out of the vehicle and headed toward the building.

Sakura entered the building, observing her surroundings until emerald eyes met teal ones. There, sitting on a chair near the open window, was a blonde woman. Temari smiled and got up to greet Sakura. She still thought of Sakura as her superior at the FBI, but Sakura had not mentioned every detail to Temari, and this was why she was glad to agree with Temari about this arrangement.

"Good evening, Sakura," Temari greeted with a hug and Sakura returned the greeting with the same words.

"It's good to see you again after so long," Temari said, gesturing Sakura to her room.

"Yes it is. Um…before we begin our discussion, I'd just like to say two things – I did not come alone…someone's in the car and the second thing I needed to tell you will explain why I did not come alone," Sakura said, sitting on the bed.

Again, Sakura was somehow surprised that Temari did not hold any grudges against her. Sakura explained everything Sasuke had explained to her – her real background history; Kagerou and the fact that she was married to Onikage's leader. Sakura expected Temari to pull out her gun and aim for her head, but instead the most surprising thing happened – Temari Suna, a strong and brave FBI Agent, fell back onto her chair…sobbing…

Sakura was completely puzzled by the woman's reaction. But as Tenten always told her before a mission, "Expect the unexpected." But this was clearly way off the unexpected things to expect on her list! Sakura made her way to the teary agent and embraced her.

"What's wrong Temari?" she asked softly and gently.

"Everything," Temari croaked between sobs.

"How?" Sakura asked in a velvety tone.

"B-because…I-I'm…p-pregnant; with a criminal's child!" Temari said before sobbing harder.

Sakura should have known. After all she was sent as a personal entertainer to spy on the Mafia under Tsunade's orders. It was also clear that Temari and Shikamaru had developed a relationship. So it was this Temari was referring to when she told Sakura that there was a bit of a problem when they had the conversation over the phone – this was what Temari wanted to discuss with Sakura. Was Temari crying because she wanted to work with Sakura, but was afraid that because she was pregnant, Sakura would not accept her? Sakura was unsure.

"Temari…it's okay. Why are you crying?" Sakura asked, maintaining a soft tone. Temari wiped away the tears from her face and then inhaled deeply.

"I envy you, you know that, Sakura?" Temari began and Sakura was shocked at her words for they did not seem bitter at all. "At least you've had someone to be there for you during your path of pregnancy – that long and treacherous road…whereas here I am with a criminal's child growing inside me. I loved him…I loved him, Sakura. He must hate me now that he knows of who I really am…he must really, really hate me! And…I can't have an abortion…I just can't kill it…" Temari said.

"You're right," Sakura said in a low voice, "you can't kill it – the child is innocent. And you're wrong – Shikamaru does not hate you. He will not neglect you," Sakura said, hugging her again.

"Come on, get your things. You'll be staying at the manor with Tenten and me. And, when we get there, I promise to have a little chat with Shikamaru. And I'm not gonna beg him to support you – I'm gonna help you explain your condition to him and I'll help him get your necessities," Sakura said before helping the distressed woman pack whatever clothes she had with her into her mini suit case. Sakura had always admired Temari. She was strong-willed and always managed to pull through in any situation; even in the depths of despair – so she did when one of her younger brothers, Kankuro had died while working for the CIA. During the drive back to the manor, Sakura explained the issue about the bomb to Temari and she confirmed that she was willing to join the team whether or not Shikamaru accepted her.

As soon as they got home, Sakura took Temari to Shikamaru's room with the help of Sasuke as she did not know where to find it. Sasuke left the two women shortly. Shikamaru was surprised at the sight before his eyes, when he answered the door.

"Sayuri?" he asked in shock. That was Temari's alias when she was working as a spy.

"No, her real name is Temari – Temari Suna," Sakura corrected.

"So…you're an FBI Agent, huh?" he asked dully.

"Was – I was an agent," Temari answered.

Shikamaru was shocked at the surprise appearance, but was in even more dumbfounded when the news of Temari's pregnancy was broken to him.

"So now I gotta deal with hours of mood swings and no sleep…morning sickness and not to mention labor contractions…what a drag!" he complained as he cupped Temari's face in his palms and she beamed. That was definitely the man she fell in love with.

"Nope…you're not the one who'll be going through the hard times, Nara!" Sakura corrected again and he chuckled slightly.

"How far are you along?" he asked Temari.

"Two months," she replied.

"Okay…I made a list for you Shikamaru – a list of everything she'll need during her pregnancy. So you'll need to get them," Sakura informed the lazy man who simply nodded before taking Temari's things into her new room which she would now share with the man who she would live the rest of her life with; the father of her child…

When Sakura entered her room, she found Sasuke lying on the ground on a futon and Kagerou was fast asleep on the super king-sized bed. Sakura gave Sasuke a questioning look. Surprisingly, he answered to her expression.

"You will share the bed with her," he told her.

"Why don't you take the bed instead?" she said. Sakura was feeling a bit guilty, after all, everything in this room was his, excepting for her clothes.

"No," he said in monotone

"Well, then…the bed is big enough for all three of us-" "No, Kagerou gets uncomfortable with too much body heat," he cut her off and grunted. It was implied that he was getting annoyed with her protests and in order to avoid an argument which would have resulted in the waking of Kagerou, Sakura decided to just follow along with his orders. And so, she took a quick bath, changed into her nightgown and made herself comfortable under the covers with her baby girl…

In the morning, Sakura awoke to find that Sasuke was no where in the room. Kagerou was awake, but was busy playing silently with her doll, Ririn, on her father's rumpled 'futon-bed'.

"Good morning, sweetie," Sakura said to the girl, planting a kiss on both of her soft cheeks. The little girl looked up and returned the greeting in her soft, velvety voice before continuing with what she was doing. Sakura then got up and grabbed her towel.

"Hey, if you're dad asks where I am, tell him I'm in the shower," Sakura said as she opened the door to the bathroom and Kagerou nodded.

Sakura had spent almost fifteen minutes washing up and was now changing into her clothes. She was still in the bathroom, though. Sasuke's bathroom had three rooms – one for the toilet; another for the bath tub and another one for just a shower and taps alone. Yes, it was huge. As she was about to pick up her hairbrush to groom her silken, pink hair, she heard a knock on the door.

"Sakura…" It was Sasuke.

"What is it?" Sakura answered and opened the door to find Kagerou with a towel in her hand.

"Oh…you want me to give her a bath?" Sakura said as she took her daughter up and into her arms.

"Hn, both of her sitters will be out so I need to take her to school. I expect her out in half an hour. Bring her to the garage," Sasuke said before leaving the room. He always referred to the day care center which Kagerou went to everyday as 'school' but it really was not one. Of course the toddlers did educational activities but it was too lenient to be called a school. Sakura filled the tub with warm water and then helped remove her daughter's pajamas. Then she lifted her off the ground and put her into the tub. Sakura then walked across to the towel-rack and hung the towel which was not needed at the moment. But when she turned around to face Kagerou, she was faced with the most horrible sight.

Her eyes widened in horror and the only words that managed to escape her lips were, "Oh my God…"
