chapter 4

"You were right back then..." Sakura felt a bit perplexed, unable to decipher which incident he was referring to.

"Being alone is painful, my solitude had confined me to darkness but now that I have found a family again in you, Naruto and Kakashi; my heart is whole again with Konoha well guarded and Itachi's sacrifice not atrophied but..." his sentence lingered as he walked upto her gently and held her waist, burying his face in the nape of her neck.

"But to me if you disappeared from my life, it's the same as being broken again." He pressed a soft butterfly kiss to her neck as she shivered lightly not having anticipated him to retell her words to him from the night he had left the village ten years back in his own vernacular.

"I love you more than anything. If you are by my side, I will make sure that you will not regret it. I will make everyday worthwhile and make you laugh. So please, give me another chance. Don't run away but even if you did, I did follow you for as long as we were under the same sky, I would find my way back to you." He chuckled inhumorously remembering something the dobe always babbled about.

"Didn't Naruto say home is where the heart is?" she remained unfazed as she willed herself not to crumble back into his arms.

"You have my heart, so you're my only heaven, my rest and respite." Her mouth opened slightly as she let out a shallow breath, twisting slightly.

Teary emerald met wishful onyx.

Her knees felt weak and her head completely light. Her heart was thundering out of her chest faster than she could ever recall. The erratic beating was heavy to her ears and her finger felt numb.

Before she could muster up her brain to signal the sign to raise her arms, she was already holding him. Before she had even though about whispering his name, her mouth had cried it out but most of all before she knew it, she had fallen in love with him yet again without willing herself to.

He held her delicately, his mouth adorning light kisses to every part of her exposed face. They held each other, embracing their warmth's without sub-taking part in any linguistic communication except those of their hearts that seemed to beat in the same fashion, completely in-sync.

"Sakura", he whispered, his arm leaving her waist only to tangle his hand in her cherry blossom kissed hair. Wetness once again pulled at the edges of her eyes which Sasuke kissed away.

"I have made you cry for far too long, I swear I would compel myself to be anything you did want me to be."

"Remember to keep your words then." Sakura finally spoke with a gorgeous smile finding its way on her visage.

"Hmmm, I was afraid you were gonna say that I'm annoying." He said teasingly.

She blushed knowing that she had given him a fair amount of troubles to obstinate by but in the end, she deemed it all worth it. Finally, there would be no what ifs.

"You did have to promise me a few things though." She demanded.

"Anything."

"You would never leave without telling me, better yet no more goodbyes for awhile."

"I could never truly part from you." A heavy blush castigated on her cheeks, who knew when he wasn't imitating an ice box, he did have such a romantic bone in his body.

"You wouldn't cut me off when things become difficult."

"No more." He whispered.

"And you won't so much as look at a shadow of another women."

His left eye twitched slightly," when have I ever...?" he sighted. Did she think of him as some kind of hormonal maniac?

"Say you wouldn't!" she emphasised by waving her hand in front of his face. Catching a hold of her fingers, he pulled her closer till both of them were sharing the same breath.

"I wouldn't after all none other women could be this..." he traced his lip next to hers teasingly, Sakura's breath became heavy as she drowned in his words, in him. "Annoying."

She blinked once then twice. This jerk just had to ruin it, didn't he yet for some reason she busted into laughter instead.

"Hmmm, shouldn't you also make me promise to value our child foremost?" his hands pressed gently against her stomach. Sakura's breath caught up in her throat almost at that sentence.

"Moreover..." Sasuke drawled out, narrowing his eyes at her a little vindictively, "as a medic Nin, shouldn't you know better than to run like that whilst being pregnant in an unknown and potentially dangerous territory."

Sakura blinked a couple of times, a little dumbfounded. So he knew?
