Pairing: SasuSaku

Rating: K+

A young woman sat on the porch of her home. She sat on the patio's swing her emerald eyes gazing at the stars above. Everything seemed peaceful at night, unlike during the day. She nearly jumped out of her seat when a blanket covered her lap. She hadn't sensed anyone.

"Sakura? What are you doing up so late?" asked the young man who she had always loved, his dark eyes burning into hers. He sat down beside her. "It's dangerous to be out alone…you baka," he added.

"Sasuke-kun I just needed to think is all," Sakura answered him.

"Hn?" Sasuke asked which Sakura knew meant 'what were you thinking about?' in Sasuke language.

"I was just thinking about…my decision is all," she stated.

Sasuke eyed her. "You aren't backing out now, are you?" he asked.

Sakura shook her head. "No I guess it's just…" she trailed off.

"Just what?" Sasuke questioned.

"I never thought I'd ever be a Sound nin is all." Sakura finished, blushing slightly.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "No one forced you to be one, you chose on your own. Though I wish you hadn't," he said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sakura said, her turn to question him.

"Well, you don't really fit in," Sasuke explained as a matter-of-factly.

"I do to," Sakura disagreed.

"No you don't. Sakura, you're an innocent immature girl. You don't have what it takes to be here," Sasuke argued in his usual cold tone.

"I'm not a little girl anymore, Sasuke. I'm nineteen years old," Sakura defended herself, her anger slowly risen. She wasn't weak! Her inner self was bubbling with anger.

"Barely. You just don't get it, do you?" Sasuke asked.

"Get what? Do you not want me to be here? Because you could have said so a long time ago," Sakura snapped.

Sasuke sighed quietly. "It's just…" the last part was mumbled inaudibly.

"What, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing," Sasuke answered.

"No, it was something. Tell me," Sakura commanded.

"It's not anything of importance," Sasuke stated.

Sakura frowned. "Oh, fine be that way. I'll just leave," she rose from her seat and was about to walk off the premises when a hand grabbed onto her arm. "I thought you didn't want me here," she said turning to face Sasuke.

"It's just…well…its not like you can protect yourself out there," Sasuke said avoiding her gaze.

"I can too. I was a Chunin back in the village of the leaves. I'll be fine," Sakura argued.

"You can't do much in your condition," Sasuke pointed out.

"I can protect myself just fine. Now let me go!" Sakura shouted in annoyance.

Sasuke looked frustrated for a second then his face turned back to emotionless. "You're not leaving."

"Yes I am," Sakura said as she struggled out of his grasp. She turned her back to him. She was startled when two strong arms encircled her shoulders.

"Don't leave me… onegai" Sasuke mumbled desperately into her ear.

Sakura smiled, content. "Why not?" she pushed her luck.

"You're annoying," Sasuke whispered.

Sakura sighed. "Fine, you win," she grinned.

Sasuke let go of her and Sakura turned around.

" Good, now you better get into that house," Sasuke pointed at the home of which they had been staying, "before I lose my patience and decide to leave you to the wolves."

Sakura giggled. "Would you really do that to me?" she teased.

Sasuke smirked. "You know the answer to that. Now come on, it's late."

Sakura put a hand on her stomach and looked at her swollen belly. "Daddy is so silly sometimes. But that's why we love him, ne?"

Sasuke put his hand over hers on her enlarged stomach and let out half a smile.

Sakura couldn't help but beam at him. Sasuke moved his gaze to her eyes and Sakura could've sworn for a second that his eyes showed a glint of love and adoration. But then she blinked and the look disappeared.

"Come on let's get you inside," Sasuke whispered grabbing her hand and leading her into the house.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked to get the attention of the Uchiha.

He looked at her. "Yeah?"

"What am I to you?" Sakura questioned.

Sasuke studied her face for a moment and then let out a half-smile. "You are my sanity," he replied sending chills sending down Sakura's spine as she grinned.

So what did you think? Did it suck? It was my first Naruto fic so I don't know how it worked out but I hope it was decent. Tell me how I can improve. This will be a set of drabbles so if you have a request go ahead. As long as its SasuSaku, ShikaIno, NaruHina, or NejiTen. Also if you know whom I should pair Kakashi with then please tell me. Arigato.

Ja Ne
