Chapter 6

Welcome to my house! Sakura said inviting Sasuke and Tsuki into her house.

Both Sasuke and Tsuki amazed at how her house looked like. It was extremely clean. And when I say clean, I mean immaculate and spotless.

Then Sakura's mom broke the silence when she told them to come in and to make themselves at home.

Hmmm, this guy is quite the looker, Sakura sure chooses nicely when it comes to guys. I just hope this one doesn't break her heart like last time. Sakura's mom thought.

I'll be in the kitchen whipping up some green tea for everyone, Sakura's mom said with a

heartwarming smile.

If you guys would like to shower first you should go now before my dad gets home.

Sakura said.

Why's that? Tsuki asked extremely curious as always.

Well he usually makes a mess in there whenever he uses it. Sakura said sweat dropping.

So I'll go first! Tsuki said with a smile.

You can borrow my pajamas Tsuki, They might be a bit big on you so I hope its okay. Sakura said.

Of course it's okay! Tsuki said and rushed off to the bathroom.

I'll show you where you're sleeping Fujiwara-san, Sakura said. So she led him to a guest room. It already had two futons neatly laid on the floor with a pair of glass sliding doors. The night sky was beautiful with the stars shining brightly and a full moon.

I'm going to go help my mom with the tea okay? Settle in and make yourself comfortable! Sakura said as she went to the door.

Sakura? Sasuke called.

Hm? What is it? Sakura asked.

About your friend, you should give up on him. You can follow your own path with out him. He's not worth all that trouble. Sasuke said with a dispassionate face.

What do you mean? Of course he's worth all that trouble. He means everything to mean and I won't forget him that easily. Sakura getting frustrated and slightly confused.

New paths will start and new dreams. Sasuke continued.

No, I absolutely refuse to! I will not change my decision about finding Sasuke, never! Naruto and I will bring him back no matter what! Sakura started to say with tears forming. The conversation reminded her of the same one she had with Sasuke about a few months ago.

What's going on? Tsuki asked as she stepped into the room.

Um, its nothing, are you done showering? Sakura said as she used her sleeve to dry her tears.

Yup! Tsuki said as she smiled. Who goes next?

I'll go said Sakura volunteering. She grabbed her towel and pjs and ran off to the bathroom. Just when she was exiting, her mom entered with the green tea.

Arigato! Tsuki squealed as she sipped the nice hot tea. Sasuke took a small sip and put his cup down.

What does Sakura at home? Sasuke asked. Tsuki looked up from her cup surprised that he is actually curious to know more about Sakura.

Well, actually, she's hardly ever home. She always on missions or with the Hokage training or helping her with work. She sighed. I really miss her relying on me and spending time together. After she said that she left Tsuki and Sasuke alone in the room.

What happened with Sakura? Did you know her before we came here? Tsuki asked as she bombarded him with questions.

None of your business Sasuke said coldly.

You should tell me! Why do you always act so cold to everyone and keep them out. We can help you you know! Tsuki said really annoyed with Sasuke's attitude. After a few moments pause, Sasuke spoke.

I'll tell you but you won't like it. But this doesn't mean anything. Sasuke said as he finally gave up. I was born from the Uchiha clan in Konohagakure. My father was the head of the police department there and my older brother Itachi was extremely gifted. I was only seven yrs old when my whole family died. Itachi decided to measure his strength and he killed everyone, including my parents. He spared me only by chance to find what I would grow into. I hated what he did and decided that it would be my dream to resurrect the clan and to avenge my clan by killing Itachi. So I grew up in Konoha as an orphan trying to get stronger. When I finally became a genin I was put in the same team as Naruto and Sakura. We went through many fun, sad, serious time together. It's really difficult to explain. It was as if we were bond together by blood and we were destined to be together. But being in Konoha all that time made me soft, so I broke those bonds and left it all behind and joined up with Orochimaru. That's all.

There was a few second silence as Tsuki tried to absorb what she had just heard.

I know that you want revenge and all but have you ever stopped to think about what your parents thought about it. I mean, you are trying to avenge their deaths but don't they want a better life for you? They don't want you living your life to kill someone, don't they want you to live a happy life instead? Tsuki asked with a serious face.

Well, I have thought about that but then it didn't matter to me anymore. I don't want my family to die in vain. I want to do what I want and what feels right. There is no turning back now.

After what Sasuke said they both sat in silence watching the night sky filled with glistening stars.

The stars are beautiful tonight. Tsuki said breaking the silence. Your family members are probably up there right now watching over you. She sighed and continued. I have nothing against your revenge nor comment about your departure from Konoha and your friends. But I don't want to be part of it, I absolutely refuse to help you in any kind of plan you may have to further your dream. Then she started to brighten up and said, and for your wife I highly recommend Sakura!

Sasuke's expression went from serious to surprised.

Well you did say that you wanted to revive your clan right? So you're going to need to get married and reproduce! Tsuki smiled.

It's not really that important yet. Sasuke said trying not to fluster.

Of course it is! If you focused too much on getting revenge then what will happen if you finally do kill your brother but you end up really ugly! No girl would want to marry you then! And that would be a problem wouldn't it? Tsuki teased as she bombarded him with questions.

Well, so I'll force the girl to like me then! Sasuke shouted getting really flustered despite all his trying.

Sasuke is so easy to get flustered! Tsuki thought. This is going to be fun!

Well what kind of girl will you choose then? I highly recommend Sakura! I mean she's pretty and pretty strong too! I also heard that she was training to become a medical nin. Pretty handy don't you think? Tsuki said as she continued with the suffering. And I know that you really like her!

Well, um, ah, Sasuke was getting extremely uncomfortable with the questions. He agreed with what Tsuki was saying but he was getting hesitant about telling her his answer.

Just then Sakura came in after taking a shower.

What are you guys talking about and why is Fujiwara-san blushing the shade of a ripe tomato?

Um it was nothing, we were just talking about home, are you done with the bathroom? Sasuke said trying to cover up what they were really talking about.

Sure, my mom also prepared my dad's pjs for you if that's okay. Sakura said.

Yeagh whatever and he ran off to the bathroom.

So, Sakura said, what were you guys really talking about? Acting really suspicious.

Was Sasuke really that bad at lying? Tsuki giggled.

Of course! I could spot him a mile away. So what was the conversation about? Sakura asked.

Oh, well, you know how we're orphans right? Well ni-san was thinking about how we should revive the clan and I was thinking of potential girls that ni-san could marry. Tsuki said. She tried to keep as much truth as she could with out ruining their cover.

Oh, is that so. So who were the potential girls? Sakura asked.

Well, there was…

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief that he escaped Tsuki and her questions. While he was taking the shower he realized that he had just left Tsuki with Sakura, not good. She might tell Sakura everything knowing how careless she could be. That would ruin everything! So he hurried up and changed as quick as a shinobi should be.

When he got to the room he saw Tsuki and Sakura playing cards.

Wow, you were really fast ni-san! That took only one minute! Tsuki said as she smiled.

Do you want to play cards with us? Sakura asked.

Uh, sure, Sasuke said seeing as how he had nothing else to do.

But it's only fair to warn you ni-san that I have won every game so far! Tsuki said as she shuffled the cards.

Oh we'll see about that Sasuke said.

And now, the games begin!
