Ch. 15: 2 Months Later…YOU'RE WHAT?!
Sakura woke and went to take her shower. The past few weeks she'd been moody, but she'd been depressed. After Sakura took her shower, she crawled back in the bed with Gaara. She felt his hands wrap around her waist. He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. He frowned.
"Sakura you're burning up."
"I know, but I've got chills."
"Maybe I should get you to the hospital."
"No, I'm not going unless I start to throw…"
Just then Sakura got very sick and had to run to the bathroom. After she came back Gaara looked at her.
"What were you saying?" his voice dripped with sarcasm.
"I…I…" Sakura passed out and slumped to the floor
"TEMARI!! I NEED YOUR HELP!! NOW!!!"
Temari and Itachi ran into the room. They saw Sakura on the floor and looked at Gaara.
"Itachi go start my car. Temari get a blanket and a cold wash cloth."
They did as they were told and Gaara wrapped Sakura up in the blanket and laid the wash cloth on her forehead. He carried her down the stairs, trying not to jostle her. Behind him Temari shrieked.
"What's wrong Temari?"
"She's bleeding…there's blood running down her legs."
Gaara went white and finished running to the car. Itachi drove like a bat out of hell and in a few minutes they arrived at the hospital.
"WE NEED HELP!!"
"Please calm down sir…."
"She's bleeding. We need help now."
"I NEED A DOCTOR AT THE FRONT DESK!"
They were too busy watching Sakura to notice what the nurse was saying. Soon the doctor came with a bed and they lift Sakura onto it. Gaara was going to follow the doctor, but he would let him.
Four Hours Later:
"DAMN IT! I WANT TO SEE HER NOW!"
"Calm down Gaara. I'm sure she's going to be okay."
Just then the doctor came out of the room. He walked up to them and looked at his chart.
"The woman you brought in is in good condition now. She should be waking up in a few minutes. I can let you see her, but while in the room, I need you to answer some questions."
Gaara, Itachi, and Temari followed the doctor and Sakura was sitting up in the bed. She looked at them with tear-filled eyes. She desperately tried to fight back the tears because she knew what was coming.
"Okay miss, I need to ask you some questions and then you are free to tell your friends what happened okay?" Sakura nodded her head.
"When were you born?"
"October 31, 1990."
"So, you just turned 17 then?"
"Yes."
"Okay, how much do you weigh?"
"120 pounds."
"What's your name?"
"Sakura Haruno."
"What did you say?" the doctor looked shocked.
"Sakura Haruno."
"My real mother or my step mother?"
"Step mother? I didn't know you had a step mother."
"Yes, she was the one my father killed."
"Oh."
"Can you please answer the question."
"Yes, her name was Ayame."
"You…you're her."
"I'm who?"
"Dad never told you did he?"
"Dad?"
"I'm your brother."
"B-Brother?!"
"Yes. After you were born, he left our mother. I'm eight years older than you are. Dad didn't like to claim me. He thought that our mother fucked around on him."
"I…I have a…brother?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spring this one you so fast. After what you've been through, I should have waited."
"No…No it's okay. Can I have a moment alone with my friends please."
"Of course."
After her brother left, she burst out crying. Gaara held her as she sobbed. When she was finally ready to tell her story, she began.
Flashback:
Sakura was walking home after she had a nice fight with Gaara. She had her swords strapped across her back and her kunai and shuriken holsters on. It was dark outside and Sakura needed to go to the mall for a minute. Just before she got to the mall, she heard someone behind her. In the next instant, a kunai was flying at her head. She deflected it with a kunai of her own. Sakura drew her swords and stood to face her opponent. He charged and Sakura jumped to the side and almost cut his leg. He jumped towards her intending to cut her shoulder. She used one of her swords to deflected his. A spark lit the dark alley as steel clashed with steel. The unmistakable sound of a sword cutting flesh was heard, followed by a cry of pain. Her attack pushed her into a wall, but Sakura pulled the sword with her, ripping the flesh on his side more.
'Shit, I can't do this. I can't find with a stranger.'
Sakura was distracted by her thoughts and she felt a fist connect with her stomach. She coughed up blood. In the next instant, she was on top of her attacker, sword at his throat.
"Who sent you to attack me?"
"You'll never know."
"You'll tell me if you value your life."
"No."
Sakura pulled out a kunai and stuck it in between his shoulder blades. He screamed in pain.
"Tell me who you are."
"No."
Sakura wiggled the kunai and he let out another scream.
"Okay! My name's Kyo."
"Who sent you?"
"I cannot say."
Sakura wiggled the kunai harder.
"AHHH! I CAN'T TELL YOU!!!"
"Very well."
Sakura ran her blade through his throat and left him there to die.
'Damn you Sasuke. I died protecting you. I hope you're happy you bastard.' thought the man.
Sakura ran home and started to cry. Nobody was there yet because they wanted to get something to eat. She went and took a shower, but sat in the tub and let the water wash over her body. She could already feeling the life slip away. Her tears mixed with the hot water. She finally got out of the shower when she heard the door open. She quickly dressed and met Gaara at the end of the stairs.
"Hey, I got your pizza and pickles. You eat weird you know that."
"Yeah, I know, but you wouldn't want me any other way."
"You're right."
Gaara gave her a kiss and went to take a shower.
End Flashback
"So, what happened? Why did you pass out and why were you bleeding?"
"Yesterday, a man attacked me. He hit me in the stomach and I killed him. I could find out who sent him though."
"What does that have to do with you passing out and bleeding?"
Sakura looked at Gaara and burst out crying. Temari started to cry when she realized what happened. She ran up to Sakura and hugged her.
"Sakura, I'm so sorry. I didn't know."
"Okay, I'm lost."
"You remember when we had sex after the Halloween rave?"
"Yeah, what about it."
"I got…I…I got pregnant. When the man hit me, he killed the baby. My baby's been dieing inside of me and today I lost a lot of blood because of it. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Another wave of tears came and Itachi and Gaara were shocked.
"Sakura, what was the man's name?"
"He said his name was Kyo."
"No…I….he…"
"What is it?"
"Nothing Sakura."
Itachi and got up and left. He walked out of the building and started Gaara's car. He took off and soon found Sasuke walking with Kiba. He pulled over and got out.
"What do you want…"
He was cut off when Itachi's fist met his face. Sasuke coughed up blood and looked at him.
"What the fuck?!"
"You bastard! How could you do that to Sakura?!"
"What did you do to Sakura?"
"Damn, I was hoping that nobody would find out about that."
"About what. I though you gave up on you're obsession with her."
"I hired a man named Kyo to attack Sakura."
"Why?"
"Because, she was the only thing I could have. I hated her for that."
"You're sick! You've hurt her more than you know."
"God, it's not like I rapped her!"
"No, you did something worse than that! You killed her baby!"
"What baby?"
"Sakura was pregnant you asshole!"
Sasuke smirked and Kiba just looked at him like he was disease.
"I guess I finally got my payback then."
Itachi saw fired and hit his brother again, this time knocking him into the road. However, nobody could have seen what happened next coming. At the time Itachi hit Sasuke, a car was coming. The car ran over him and crushed his ribs, which punctured his heart. The car stopped and the driver jumped out of the car and ran over to Sasuke.
"I swear I didn't see him! What have I done?!"
"Is he dead?"
"I…I don't know."
Itachi walked over to Sasuke and with a shaky hand, felt for a pulse. There was none, but only one tear was shed. Kiba on the other hand, was freaking out.
"He's dead? He…I…"
"Kiba, it's fine. Maybe he'll be happy this way."
"I'm so sorry. I didn't see him."
"It's okay miss. I know you didn't. You're free to go, I won't press charges."
The woman thanked him and left.
Two Days Later:
"I love my brother, but he was miserable. I think now he may be at peace."
Itachi took his seat beside Sakura, who hugged him. His friends were there more for support than anything. Temari hugged her boyfriend and he gave her a small smile. They all walked up to the coffin and placed a white rose by his face, except for Sakura.
"It's okay Sasuke. I know what you did and I forgive you."
Itachi watched her as she put a single red rose in his hand. She let one tear fall before she spoke again.
"I understand and I forgive you."
Sakura walked away as everyone, except for Itachi, looked stunned. Sakura walked over to Itachi's parents and gave them a warm smile.
"I'm sorry for your loss, but Sasuke did not long to be part of this world."
"I know Sakura. Thank you for your kind words."
She hugged Mrs. Uchiha and walked away. She walked towards her father's grave (she buried in that cemetery because she moved) and knelt on the grass.
"Hi Daddy. I miss how you used to be. I did what you always told me too. I forgave him when he hurt me so bad. You always told me to be loving, compassionate, and forgiving. I met a man that I love Daddy. I know you always wanted the best for me. I'm doing good now, even if I miss you. I miss you Daddy."
Sakura let a few tears drop before she wiped her eyes and got off the ground. Gaara walked up behind her and put his hands around her waist.
"Don't worry sir, I love her and I'll take care of her."
