Sakura woke up and was happy that the reason she woke up wasn't because of a dream, and then she realized it was because she was in the arms of the one she loved. She moved to get up, but the stirring woke Sasuke up.
"Sorry," she whispered, "I didn't mean to wake you up." Sasuke just nodded but said, "I'm hungry." Sakura smiled and got up.
"Stay there and I'll bring you a tray." She left the room and made her way down stairs. She was about to step into the kitchen, but the sight in the living room stopped her.
On the couch was the parents of the kids, and across from them were Kakashi and Naruto sitting in chairs. She froze when the parents looked at her and expected them to start yelling, but when they didn't she glanced at Kakashi. Kakashi just smiled proudly at her. "Sakura…Hiro is dead." When Sakura register that information in her head she gasped and immediately turned toward the parents and was about to speak, but the mother held her hand up to stop her and said, "It's okay. We've known along what kind of person he was." When the mother said that she just looked at Sakura with a sad and apologetic look, while Sakura just looked bewildered, and look at Kakashi for explanation. Kakashi took the hint and began to speak.
"Before I begin I think I should tell you that it was me who brought you back home when you were raped. For a while now there have been several female ninjas being raped here in this village, though most of them were older than you. There have been many missions to find the person who is the rapist, but there was no one willing to take the missions because it was required to somehow get close to the rapist, if he was figured out. I was about to report as you being another victim, but I noticed a mission set by Hiro's parents. Hiro's parents have realized that on the same nights of when someone was rape, Hiro would return home during late hours of the night. When they realize that it was their son who was the rapist they knew they had to do something. Yours, Sasuke's, and Naruto's real mission was to watch over the house and the children while trying to get Hiro caught. The reason I chose you and your team was because I knew you would want to get back at him and because since you were a victim you would know more then anyone that he was the rapist, and I didn't think you would get hurt again with Naruto and Sasuke around. I'm sorry." Sakura could tell Kakashi was truly sorry, but even if he didn't look it, she would know that he was. Sakura just smiled, but then she thought of something. She looked at the parents and owner of the house she has been taking care of.
"Where did you really go if you knew about your son?" the father smiled, but the mother explained. "We've been here all along spying on you, your team, and our son to make sure you or anyone else was hurt again by Hiro." Sakura nodded her head, but she thought of another question.
"Kakashi-sensei, how did you know that Sasuke and Hiro were in trouble." Instead of Kakashi answering, it was the father who answered. "When my wife and I saw your teammate run around the house and then off to the woods we figured something was wrong. We saw your other teammate, Naruto, run off in another direction. We went inside the house to look for either our son or you, but we couldn't find you. So we knew something was wrong and went to find Kakashi. We explained everything to Kakashi and he said he would take care of it." When the man was done, Kakashi started speaking. "Before I even got there Naruto showed up beside me and told me the same story. We easily sensed Sasuke's chakra and went in the direction we sensed it. Naruto seemed to figure out where you three were and led the rest of the way." Sakura nodded when she understood, but asked, "Shouldn't we tell Sasuke this?" but before Kakashi could say anything a voice from behind her answered, "Don't worry about it. I heard everything." Sakura turned around to see Sasuke resting against the wall behind her.
"Sasuke! What are you doing up? I told you, you need to rest." Sakura said when she saw Sasuke. "You were taking a long time, and I would rather lay on the couch instead anyways," was Sasuke's only answer. Sakura nodded and went to the kitchen to fix Sasuke's dinner. She walked up to the cabinets but turned back around when she heard footsteps following her. She noticed it was just the parents and relaxed
"We're sorry for what our son put you through. No girl should go through that." The mother spoke in an apologetic tone. "You shouldn't be the ones apologizing to me. It's not your fault. I'm glad I was able to help somehow." She smiled at the parents, and the father smiled back, but the mother gave her a tight hug. "Thank you for watching the kids and our home. You did a wonderful job." Sakura blushed but told the mother, "Your welcome." The mother then had a serious look on her face. "Now, my and husband and I have to go take care of some things. Could you watch everything till we get back?"
"Of course." Sakura answered and then they were gone. Sakura went back to the cabinet and pulled out a plate and began to make Sasuke his supper. Hiro's dead. He's dead. He wont be able to hurt me or anyone else again! Sakura thought and smiled.
When she was done making Sasuke's dinner she brought him his plate. When she walked into the living room she saw Sasuke lying down on the couch talking with Kakashi, but when he saw Sakura with his plate he sat up. Sakura gave him his plate, and sat down in another chair nearby. Kakashi told Sakura about the fight, and how Sasuke had killed Hiro right before he passed out. (A/N: Sorry not good with explaining fights so if you wanted a fight…use your imagination.)
When Sasuke was finished with his dinner he put the plate up. He sat up to where he was sitting, but was resting against the arm of the couch. He motion for Sakura to come sit beside him. When she did, he put a protective arm around her face. Naruto looked surprised, but Kakashi just smiled. "Sakura is my girlfriend now." Sasuke said calmly. Sakura blushed but nodded her head. She looked around and noticed that someone was missing. "Where's Hinata?" she asked, and Naruto answered.
"She's in the nursery with the kids." Sakura nodded but then smiled at Naruto and asked, "So, what's up with you and Hinata."
"We're dating now." Naruto answered with a big smile. Sakura smiled to, "That's great. I'm happy for you!"
The rest of the day went by fast, and before Sakura knew it, she was packing her bags and leaving. Sakura said goodbye to the kids and the parents and told Kakashi and Naruto they would see them later that night when the four of them normally eat ramen together. She made her way down the street towards her home, but a hand grabbed her wrist.
Sakura turned around and smiled when she saw it was Sasuke. He just stared at her for a few seconds, but asked, "Where are you going?" Sakura looked confused but said, "I'm going home." Sakura pointed to the direction of her home, but Sasuke shook his head and pointed to the other direction and said, "No, your home is this way." Sakura looked confused, so Sasuke smiled and took her hand, and pulled her towards him.
"I want you to move in with me. I want my home to be yours because I want you near me so I will be there to protect you. I don't want you getting hurt again, and I just want you with me." Sasuke said and waited for Sakura's answered.
"Yes! Of course I'll move in with you." She smiled at Sasuke. Sasuke pulled her even closer to where she was press up against his chest, and he kissed her. The kiss was wonderful, but not as good as the first kiss.
Heck yeah! The first kiss is always better. Sakura almost jumped when she heard her inner self say something, but didn't want to since she was kissing Sasuke, but then they stopped and smiled at each other.
And where have you been for the past month?
Cooped up in a small box feeling sorry for myself just like you were.
Oh…I guess I was acting like that…but I promise you don't have to worry about being cooped up in a small box anymore.
Good because that got my neck hurting….Oh! You go girl you finally got the man of our dreams. It's about time too. Sheesh! You sure are slow when it comes to love!
Sakura decided to ignore what her inner self said and gave Sasuke a soft kiss on the lips. "Lets go home," she whispered. They turned the other way and with their arms around each other's waist and Sakura's head resting on Sasuke's shoulder, they made their way to the Uchiha mansion…their home.
Man! Love sure does come at the funniest times!
Doesn't it? Sakura kissed Sasuke's cheek and whispered in his ear, "I love you." Sasuke smiled at her and said, "I love you, too."
