I pitied you guys.

Sakura sat in her couch reading a book and heard the door open. She smiled when she saw Hikaru come in with a scowl on his face. "How were the Chunin Exams?" she asked.
"Cakewalk," Hikaru bluntly replied. He glared at his mother. "I have to talk to you."
"Um...sure." Sakura was about to stand up, but quickly sat back down when the raven-haired boy charged at her with blinding speed and held a kunai at her throat. "Hikaru! What is the meaning of this?"
"There was a man in the forest," Hikaru growled, "He looked EXACTLY like me! Is he?" He took control of his emotions and retreated his fatal weapon. "Mine and Haruka's...father?"
Sakura sighed and tried to calm down from her shock. "Hikaru..." she replied, "I told you already three years ago. I don't know who your father is!" She put down her book and stomped up to her bedroom saying, "Take care of your business!"
Hikaru remained at his spot and flinched when he heard the door slam upstairs. He knew that Sakura was very sensitive when it came to talking about their 'father', but he just had to know. He threw the kunai he held at the wall and went to the kitchen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura stood behind her door, frozen in the dark. Her hand was still on the doorknob, and she slowly brought it to her side. She jumped into her bed and grunted as her body hit the soft mattress and then bounce a bit. "Sasuke..." she whispered.
"Is it always this dark in here?" asked a mysterious deep voice.
Sakura sat up, startled. "Who's there?" she asked, "Show yourself!" She took out a shuriken from one of her long sleeves and held it defensively. Her jade eyes glistened dangreously in the moonlight.
Sasuke smirked and emerged from the shadows in the room. "Hey."
Sakura felt moisture on her cheeks and immediately knew that she was crying. Yet she ignored it. "Sasuke," she stated. She carefully approached him, but kept her distance. "I-it's been so...long."
Sasuke held out the cherry blossom hair pin to her. "You left this outside," he said. He faintly smiled when she took it and asked, "So...you're a mother now?"
Sakura bundled her long pink hair and put on the pin. "Yeah. Their names are Hikaru and Haruka."
"I know. I looked after them in their exams." Sasuke gave her a sharp glare and asked, "How did all this come to be?"
Sakura sighed. "Let's talk outside...in the garden." She gently took his hand and lead him out of her house.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sasuke..." Sakura started, "As you may already know, Hikaru and Haruka are my kids."
"Yeah," Sasuke replied sadly, "But who's the father?"
Sakura remained silent. Tears were visible in her eyes. Should I tell him? Is he ready for this? She took a deep breath and said, "You...are, Sasuke."
A cold breeze blew by before the Uchiha reacted. "W-what?" he stuttered, wide-eyed and pale, "How can that be? I never... Huh?" He was babbling. THE Sasuke Uchiha was BABBLING.
"I didn't expect you to know...or remember. You see, about fifteen years ago, we were...well...in love, believe it or not. You proposed to me, and of course, I accepted. We had an "intended pregnancy engagement" and it was a success. A few months later, the Hokage ordered you to go on a mission, but you refused because you didn't want to leave me or the "little Uchihas"." Sakura looked up at Sasuke and saw him blushing madly. "A-are you okay?"
Sasuke nervously ran a hand through his hair. "Um...yeah. Well, what's this got to do with everything?" 'Little Uchihas'? How embarrassing.
Sakura decided to continue. "So anyway, the mission was becoming more desperate of a "volunteer" if you know what I mean. Tsunade had no choice but to wipe away some of your memories of me and the young. Even your feelings for me. She then had the ANBU take you to the checkpoint and left you there with a scroll telling you what to do."
"You didn't ask Tsunade to stop what she was doing?" Sasuke asked, a bit of hurt in his voice.
"Believe me, Sasuke, I BEGGED Tsunade to stop. She ignored my pleas and sent me home empty handed. She had me knocked out, though, since I was stubborn and...ferocious." She giggled. "I was a very feisty woman back then."
Sasuke looked down at the ground. "Those years must've been hard for you. Raising the kids by yourself..." He picked up a flower from the ground and sniffed it. "It was all my fault. I was so weak."
"Don't blame yourself!" Sakura cried, "You were at your strongest." She calmed down. "We both were...but even combined, we didn't have the power to outmatch the Hokage." She smiled. "Well...at least you know mostly everything now." She stood up and went back inside.
Sasuke remained sitting on the stone bench. He was still stunned at all the things that happened. My clan still lives on! This is great! But...Sakura... He turned around at the closed door and saw the lights turn off. "What should I do?" he asked himself, "I can't just run away with the kids and leave her here by herself."
