Chapter 6: Shocking News.

"What!" yelled Fugaku. He couldn't believe what his son had just told him.

"I'm not here for your blessing, I'm just here to inform you of my decision," Sasuke replied.

Sasuke's parents were shocked. Tamiko wasn't. She could see this coming. Itachi just smirked.

"Well, I'm off," Itachi said.

He got up and left the boardroom where they were having their "family meeting." Recently, Itachi changed. He didn't stay long in the presence of other people. His food was brought to his room, he hardly ever trained, and he stopped making fun of Sasuke, which Sasuke himself didn't mind. But Tamiko was wary of Itachi's change. She couldn't seem to trust him anymore. There was something wrong but she couldn't understand it. The outside was the same, but how he acted was completely different. It was as if he didn't want attention, which was so unlike Itachi.

Mikoto tried to calm her husband down and asked Sasuke a question.

"Why?" she asked in a soft voice, trying to understand.

"Because I love her," he answered back.

This got Fugaku boiling mad.

"Love?! What does a 16-year old know about love? First, you freed her. Then, you gave her my land. Now this?!" he screamed.

Sasuke was unfazed by his father's outburst.

"First of all, I'm 17. Second, she was MY slave and I could free her whenever the hell I wanted," he said with a deathly undertone.

Everyone was quiet. Sasuke was talking back to his father. The king! Only one person had ever dared to do this and that person was currently in his room doing who knows what. Mikoto didn't dare say a thing and Tamiko was just busy enjoying the show.

"Whoa! I never thought he'd ever have the guts to talk back to him. Boy this is good," Tamiko thought happily.

Fugaku had his Sharingan flared. He couldn't believe his son, his flesh and blood, was defying him and actually talking back. Sasuke had his Sharingan flared too, and continued talking.

"Third it was MY land. And finally, you WILL accept the FACT that I WILL ask Sakura to be my WIFE!" he practically screamed.

Shock.

Boy was he shocked. He couldn't believe his heir was proposing, so he went into a state of mental meltdown when he learned of this. AND, his son yelled at him. He couldn't believe it, so his mind just stopped working.

He's now at the second phase.

Anger.

Crsh!

That was the third vase the pissed off king threw at the door. It's been ten minutes after he received the news from his now emotionless son. The king kept yelling and screaming, while his wife just sat there. After about another 3 minutes of cursing and other inappropriate behavior, Mikoto got up and tried to comfort her husband through the third step of finding out shocking news.

Acceptance.

They sat still for good ten minutes because Fugaku had to think. I mean really think.

"He loves her. He's young but officially becomes an adult in about 5 months. He will need a…a… wife. And with a wife there will be heirs and I will have grandchildren," he thought.

Fugaku let out a deep sigh and looked at his son.

"I have no choice but to accept it, don't I?" he asked.

Sasuke blinked at his father. Shocked to find out his father was actually accepting the fact he was going to propose, he quickly nodded a 'Yes' before his father changed his mind.

"Very well then. When you receive her approval, we'll have a ball to announce the engagement and you are to be married within the next year. I'd like my grandchild very soon," he said with a laugh that embarrassed his son.

"Only you would say that," he thought.

"Ahem" called Tamiko.

The other Uchihas turned to a nervous looking Tamiko. She started talking.

"Well…umm…you see…"

"Tamiko, what's wrong?" asked a now glaring Sasuke.

Tamiko took a deep breath and began to talk.

"Well, you know how Sakura was a slave right?" she paused while getting a nod from Sasuke to continue.

"Do you remember the requirements bedmates get?" she said while biting her lip.

"Requirements? What the hell is sh—"

"Birth control," he said out loud.

There was a sudden silence that fell upon the room's occupants. They realized what Tamiko was trying to say. Sakura couldn't bear children. Which meant there would be no Uchiha heir. Which would mean the Uchiha dynasty would collapse and the Konoha kingdom would fall into a state of anarchy, which would lead to years of depression for the civilians. That or the Hyuugas would take over, and they can't have that happening.

After a few minutes of silence, Tamiko spoke up again.

"Well, there is one solution."

Sasuke turned to face his younger sister.

"What is it, because I don't see how you can fix this? I'm the last male heir and if the woman that I love and want to be with cannot produce an heir, I can't marry her or I'd have to let Neji take over my land," he said with a glare.

Tamiko just glared right back.

"Well, when I first trained to become a medic, the first thing Tsunade-sama told me and Hinata-chan was that medicine was not completely affective. That there was always a chance that it would not work. The highest chance of the birth control shot working is 99 percent, but over the months the medicine should have gotten slightly weaker and over time it will get weaker, so it should be like 97 percent now. So…" she said getting excited.

Sasuke blinked and stared at her. This caused Tamiko to sigh once more at her brother's stupidity.

"And they call him a genius," she thought.

"So if you have sex with her a hundred times I'm sure she would have three chances of getting pregnant." She said with a smile.

A blush crept on Sasuke's face.

"How are you sure? How come in the Uchiha history, no bedmate has ever gotten pregnant?" asked the king.

"Well, I'm guessing no one ever kept a bedmate long enough to find out if the shot would wear out. So there is a slight chance she could produce an heir… eventually," she concluded.

There were a few moments of silence, while everyone pondered on this thought, until finally Sasuke spoke.

"I'm still going to propose. There is always a chance, and I'm sure you can make something to null the birth control shot, and besides… I can wait because I love her."

"Orochimaru-sama, when would you like to extract your revenge, sir?" asked Kabuto.

"Hmm…the next big gathering. I'd like to take out as many people as possible, at the same time." He answered his subordinate.

"As you wish," Kabuto answered and leapt out the window.

Sakura clutched her sides as she emptied out her stomach into the toilet. She flushed and sat on top of the seat, as she struggled through her nausea to focus her chakra in her hands. She searched her abdomen to confirm her suspicions that she had for the past few days. The increased need to use the bathroom, the fatigue, and now morning sickness. She didn't know that this could happen even after the shot, but then again, medicine is never 100 percent effective. It was early dawn and she knew without a doubt that she was pregnant.

Sakura looked at the sleeping form of Sasuke. Tears swelled in her eyes when she remembered how he got back from his royal duties and how he wanted to take her out to dinner the next day. He seemed happy and excited about something. Sakura knew Sasuke would be happy to hear she was pregnant with his child.

Flashback

Sakura was too engulfed in her thoughts so she got lost. Again

"What the hell. How can I be lost?" she said out loud.

"Maybe I can be of some ssservice." said a voice.

Sakura jumped at the sound of the voice. She turned around to see Itachi.

"Oh it's you, Itachi-sama," she said relived and with a little bow.

"I got lost again. Can you help me find Sasuke's room? I'm suppose to be there in 20 minutes. He came by the clinic and said he had something important to tell me," she said.

"Oh, 20 minutesss is enough time to get you to Sasuke's room," he said while advancing towards her.

Sakura backed away from Itachi, who suddenly rubbed her shoulder seductively.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Nothing, Ssakura-san," he said, as he continued towards her.

Sakura turned to leave, but was stopped when a wrist grabbed her.

"Itachi-sama, let go," she warned.

"No," he replied.

Sakura didn't like how Itachi was looking at her and tried to punch him off with a chakra infused punch, but he just caught it. Sakura stared at the man, wide-eyed

"H-he just caught my punch," she thought to herself.

"L-let me go. I'll find my way myself," she stammered, now completely scared.

"Now now Ssakura, why would I do that?" he whispered into her ear, before nipping on the earlobe.

"Let go! I'll scream. Sa—" but was cut off when Itachi crushed his lips on hers.

When he finally pulled out, he cupped a hand over hers and used it to bind her with chakra strings. He carried the restless girl to a room a few feet away and threw her on the couch, causing her to hit her head on the wood that outlined it. She started seeing stars.

Itachi searched through his pockets to redeem a gag and stuff it in her mouth tying it behind her head. Itachi got over her and starting undoing both of their garments. Itachi lowered his face to the now crying girl to whisper in her ear.

"Foolish little Ssasuke. Doesn't he know that I always get my revenge."

Tears streamed down her face as Itachi entered her. There was no love, gentleness, or passion; just lust that needed to be satisfied.

It hurt when Itachi kept thrusting and Sakura cursed her body for arching into the man above her. She didn't want this. She wanted Sasuke! Not this monster who just came inside her.

Itachi got up and redressed himself. He released her and came close to her ear again.

"I wouldn't tell anyone if I were you," he said in a threatening tone, and kissed her harshly.

He smirked before throwing a towel on the trembling girl and left.

Sakura saw a clock in the corner and saw she had ten minutes till she needed to meet Sasuke and cursed herself once more when she knew she didn't have time to wash Itachi's presence off her. She felt dirty, but with the towel, all she could do was remove the semen from her thighs and get dressed. Also, with a little medical jutsu, she could heal her lower self.

When she had gotten rid of the scent and any trace of what had occurred she saw she had about three minutes and ran to her destination, only hoping Sasuke would never find out. She had to remain strong.

End of Flashback

Sakura knew Sasuke would be happy to hear she was pregnant with his child…if it was his child.
