A/N: Wassup people! This is my take on Sasuke's quest for restoration of
the mighty Uchiha clan. With a character like Sasuke I think it impossible
for him to keep his hands totally clean. This fic has the basic cannon
couple of Naruto but mostly my fave's (and yes they are all straight.sorry
yaoi/shonen ai fans). I don't think there is anymore to say then review
and please keep flames to a minimum ^_^. Okay enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't not own Naruto. if I did Neji, Kabuto, Gaara and Itachi would be all mines. Tee hee ~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sasuke walked aimlessly through Konohagure's open air market. His eyes darted about taking in the many sights of Konoha the day was bright and clear just perfect for a stroll. Apparently other villagers thought it a good day for a walk because the streets were filled with many people sell and purchasing from the market.
Sasuke was trying to clear his head and found the busy streets along with hum of conversation comforting rather then his dark thoughts. He tried many times that day to keep himself busy with training, cleaning, and finally he resorted to walking. His thoughts had not been the same since he killed Itachi so any distractions were welcome.
So when Sakura had invited him out for a bite to eat Sasuke practically jumped at the chance. Sasuke had been away from the village for quite sometime and was surprised during his hospital stay to find that Sakura was his doctor. She explained to him that Tsunade had summoned her one day and offered to train her and naturally she jumped at the chance. Sakura was an amazing doctor and had Sasuke back on his feet in rehab before then expected. She had been able to heal physical body but the mental torture was another case. He had attained his revenge, completed his life's ambition and he felt content that portion of his life was done.
Then why do I feel so empty?
Sasuke rubbed his neck and looked at position of the sun he had couple of hours until he had to meet Sakura. What he would do until that time he wasn't exactly sure but he needed to find a distraction.
Suddenly there was a sound of a child's crying suddenly grabbing Sasuke's attention. He quickly scanned the area and found the source. A young boy stood within a few feet of where Sasuke stood. The boy was dressed in a black t-shirt and denim shorts. The boy had expression of confusion and fear plastered to his face. Tears streamed down the sides of his face his dark hair covered his eyes.
Sasuke was slightly moved by this and walked in the direction of the boy. He suspected the boy was lost it was not uncommon for children about his age to get lost. As a ninja he should do something even though this was a job for a genin.
"Hey there what's the matter?" Sasuke said trying to muster all the sympathy in his voice.
"I- I can't find my mommy." The boy continued to sob.
The tears were beginning to annoy Sasuke he just wanted to smack the kid upside the head and tell to suck it up then move on with his pointless life. But instead Sasuke said "Well I can help you look for her if you like."
"I-I'm not supposed to go with strangers."
"Okay then. I'm Uchiha Sasuke a jounin level shinobi. And you are?" "Hatake Ennosuke." The boy replied with a sight quaver in his voice.
Kakashi has a son! How did this happen? Well on second thought I know how. but with whom.
"I know a place where we can find you father. Would you like me to show you?" Sasuke Suggested to the Ennosuke. Ennosuke eyed Sasuke untrustingly and seemed to be deliberating with in deciding to accept this act of kindness. Then an idea popped into Sasuke's head to gain Ennosuke trust. He slipped his hand behind his head then gave his head protector a tug; he took it of and handed it to the boy.
Ennosuke looked at in awe. The weight, shape, lustre, and the feel of the material and his hands it was amazing. He smiled up at Sasuke and reached out for his hand. Sasuke took hold of it and headed of in the direction of the Hokage's office.
*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sasuke and Ennosuke we a few steps from the entrance of the Hokage's office when Ennosuke took of like a bolt.
"Daddy!" Ennosuke screamed with delight as he was scooped up into the arms of Kakashi who was both startled and delighted to see him.
Sasuke stood at a distance watching Kakashi and Ennosuke they looked so happy, so comfortable with each other. It was sickening. Sasuke had very few memories being with his father like that just enjoying each other presence. Sasuke began to turn away from disgustingly heart-warming scene hoping to get away undetected.
"Oi, I believe this is yours." Kakashi said holding out Sasuke's head protector to him.
"Thanks" Sasuke mumbled "When were you going to tell me you had a son?"
Kakashi smiled underneath his mask. "Well Sasuke I have a son. He's name is Ennosuke."
Sasuke sighed what could he expect from Kakashi?
"Besides you have far more important things to catch up on." Kakashi added walking away with son at his side. Ennosuke turned and waved Sasuke nodded.
Maybe that is what I need, what I'm missing a family. That's all I have to do find a way to restore my clan.
Sasuke suddenly had concrete idea that he could ask Sakura to marry him so he could fully restore his clan. In the past Sakura had never denied him anything, she lived to please him. Some how if he could manipulate those feelings Sakura harboured for him he wanted from her.
Sasuke set off back down the street going to the Ramen shop to meet his unsuspecting future wife.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sasuke-kun!" called a female voice from a booth near the back of the store. Sasuke was a little overwhelmed by the expansion in size the Ramen shop had increase since he last stepped into it. It was longer a simple bar like setting the walls were freshly painted and there was more seating. Sasuke made his way to the back were Sakura was sitting with a cup of tea. He slipped into the seat across from her and waited.
The two did nothing but look at each other for some awkward silence.
"Can I take your order?" a waitress spoke causing Sasuke to nearly jump out of his skin. Sakura found it strange that Sasuke reacted like that Sasuke was usually aware of his surroundings. Something like that would not have caught him off guard.
Maybe this was a bad time to talk to him. But then if I don't do it now someone else will tell him.
Sasuke mumble something to the waitress and she returned with a cup of green tea. The waitress left to tend to the other customers leaving Sasuke and Sakura to enjoy their tea.
Sasuke took a sip of his tea it was hot and burned his tongue but he downed it anyway. The awkward silence was becoming painfully annoying. Sasuke knew he should say soon but the question he had to ask had to be said in such a way that would cause Sakura to yield to him without any dispute.
Sakura decided to break the stillness and began to make small talk. "Well how are you feeling today?" she asked as she sipped her tea. She asked this not only as a concerned friend but as a doctor too.
"Fine" he replied flatly taking another taste of tea.
"You know you're due back for another check up soon" said Sakura Ahh! This isn't getting anywhere! Tell him! Tell him now! The inner part of Sakura screamed.
"I wanted to tell you." The friends said simultaneously. There was a brief moment of nervous laughter.
"Go first Sakura" Sasuke suggest gripping his tea cup. What she had to say could not be half as important as what he had to tell her. He figured it would bide his time until he asked her hand in marriage.
"Umm.." She began "Sasuke during the years you have been away I - Neji- kun?" Sakura got up out of the booth and embraced Neji. They sat down together in the booth and the awkwardness returned.
"This is what I was trying to explain to you Sasuke. Neji and I are a couple now we're getting married.
