"Ava Adore"

chapter two: discovery

The Uchiha household was completely dark and empty. It was around three o'clock in the morning when Uchiha Sasuke returned from his ANBU duties. As captain of the ANBU squad, he went on many life or death missions. Each mission, he always reminded himself that he had to return alive.

To return to his cherry blossom...

It's been a year now since the two have been married.

He ventured through the living room until he was finally infront of their bedroom. He grasped the doorknob, and opened the door slowly. There she was, laying on their bed sound asleep. He crept towards her slowly, until he was infront of the bed. With a knee to support him he placed it on the bedside, leaning towards her.

Whispering sweetly in her ear, he remarked:

"Sakura, I'm home..."

She swifted a bit, now laying on her right side on the bed. Squinting a bit, she opened her eyes finally to meet with her husband's. She was surprised to see dark onyx meet emerald, and quickly arose. "Sa-Sasuke!"

Now placing his other knee on the bed, he wrapped his arms around her to pull her closer. "Sakura, I've missed you.."

She smiled, "I've missed you too, Sasuke."

His lips brushed against hers, until finally kissing her passionately.

She allowed him, wrapping her arms around his neck as he pulled her down on the bed.

For a minute, she believed that Sasuke was his brother. Caressing her the same way he did, kissing her the same way, tasting her the same way...

It's been a secret she has kept from her husband.

She was cheating on him.

She was having an affair with Uchiha Itachi, his own brother.

How the affair happened? she sometimes questioned herself, but she could never forget those days.

For a long time, Sakura plagued herself with thoughts on Sasuke and him alone.

Until she met the elder Uchiha...

He taught her many things, and showed her things she didn't even know.

He was so passionate, and she enjoyed the time he spent with her.

She didn't want to tell Sasuke, afraid of the guilt.

She decided not to tell her husband, and just disguise the fact.

After all, what he did not know wouldn't hurt him, right?

The sun shined against their bodies as they layed on the bed. Their legs were joined together, with Sasuke laying his head on her stomach.

She was expecting soon...

Her stomach wasn't as fully round, yet. But she was two months pregnant.

When Sasuke found out, he may not have shown it, but he was overjoyed. After all, not only was he able to defeat his brother and finally avenge his clan, he was about to have his other wish be fullfilled. They were finally granted an heir.

The only thing Sasuke did not know, was that his brother was very much alive. Sakura would know this, and she would not deny it. However, she did not know who the father of her child was...

Sometimes she wished that it was Sasuke's child, instead of Itachi's.

"Good morning.." she replied, watching Sasuke open his eyes.

"Morning.." he remarked. He got up and made his way towards the bathroom.

Sakura layed there, and began thinking about the past.

She closed her eyes, remembering how this all happened.

How she met Itachi, and how this whole 'mess' started...

If she could, she'd go back in time and stop it all. But, it was too late...

All she could do, was allow destiny to take place.

She sighed, rolling on her side. She loved Sasuke, but she also loved Itachi. Was it because of the way the elder Uchiha would seduce her at night? or was it because she missed Sasuke so much that she had succumbed to the desires and lust?

Whichever the reason, there was nothing she could do about it. Even if she rejected his advances, somehow he managed to do what he wanted with her. Another way to get back at Sasuke, she believed. She would've believed that for a long time, if it wasn't for the fact that he seemed, almost, passionate with her.

A man who was only seeking personal gain by doing this, wouldn't whisper 'I love yous' when they tenderly made love.

Or maybe, it was all an illussion...
