Goodbye Sakura: Part Two
A/N:Ok, ok…you all bugged me for a sequel, so here's a part two to the story. I was joking about the bugging part XD
Three Months Later
"Sakura…is there something you need to tell us?" Kakashi, a now 40-some-year-old guy, worriedly asked.
"Yeah…why's your belly getting bigger?" An older Naruto asked, as well. "Are you eating your butt off or something because Sasuke's gone?"
Sakura's head started to steam, as usual. She held her belly, and whacked Naruto upside the head, as she always did for the many years she had been his teammate. "I'M PREGNANT, STUPID!!!!!"
"You're…pregnant?" Kakashi surprisingly exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm pregnant! I've been pregnant for the past three months, and YOU BASTARDS DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT UNTIL I TOLD YOU JUST NOW!!!!!" Sakura replied angrily.
"Um…so wait…" Naruto paused for a moment and thought about what Sakura just shouted at him. "So…you've been pregnant for three months…uhh…OH MY GOD!!! WHO DID THAT TO YOU?!?!?! WAS IT SASUKE?!?!?!?" Naruto suddenly shouted.
Kakashi and Sakura sighed in exasperation.
"I promise…" Naruto started, kneeling down at Sakura's growing belly, "That I will take care of your baby if Sasuke doesn't come back…"
Sakura smiled. Her smile then faded away at the moment Naruto said his name. Sasuke. He disappeared. She didn't know that he needed to go back to Orochimaru so soon…especially when their relationship was getting so serious…
"Do you happen to know the gender of the baby yet?" Kakashi asked.
"No…not until I'm in for six months," Sakura sadly replied.
"Haha, if it's a boy, I wanna name it Naruto, Jr.!!!!" Naruto joked.
"No…" the pink-haired kunoichi replied with an annoyed tone of voice.
"Well, I actually have nothing planned for the day, so why don't we take a break from now until Sakura has had the baby," Kakashi said understandingly.
"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei…" Sakura thanked.
Another Three Months Later
"It's a boy!" 5th Hokage Tsunade exclaimed. As she was lightly touching Sakura's growing stomach, she smiled at her saying, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you…very much, Tsunade-sensei," Sakura thankfully replied. Standing right beside her hospital bed was Kakashi and Naruto.
"So…watcha gonna name the baby?" Naruto asked, scratching his head.
"Well…I don't know…" Sakura answered. "Kakashi-sensei, do you have any suggestions?"
"Well…not in my mind I don't…sorry," he responded, slightly lifting his head from Come Come Paradise.
"Hey, how about Keitaro?" Naruto suggested.
Sakura thought about it for a second. She thought of herself through the years calling her child Keitaro, rubbing her belly to help her think.
"Keitaro…" Sakura began to say, "Is a great name for the baby…thank you, Naruto…" She grabbed his hand, held it, and looked in his eyes in appreciation.
Naruto turned beet red. Kakashi stopped reading, and turned to look at Naruto. "Naruto…you're turning red…are you alright?"
Naruto reluctantly let go of Sakura's hand. "Yes…I'm fine…"
Sakrua chuckled and smiled.
"Now, Sakura, are you ready to practice the real thing?" Tsunade asked.
---
"Do it again, boy…" Orochimaru ordered.
Sasuke was out of breath, stopping for a breather. He knelt down in exhaustion, and suddenly thought about the one he left six months ago. "What happened to her? Did I have to just leave her like that? Is she okay?" he thought.
"Did you hear what I said?" Orochimaru asked irritably. "Do it again!"
Sasuke panted like a dog outside on a hot day. "Fine…"
Another Three Months Later
"Okay, Sakura…are you ready?" Tsunade asked in anticipation.
Sakura breathed in and out loudly and heavily. "Y-YES!!!!"
"Okay…push!"
…..
…..
…..
A/N: Sorry to interrupt in the middle of the story, but I really don't want to explain in detail at this moment…I don't want to write that XD sorry, back to the story now!
An unconscious Naruto, a surprised Kakashi, a delighted Sakura, and a crying newborn baby were only just a few of the things that lie in the hospital room of Sakura Haruno. Tsunade held the baby in her arms, and faced Kakashi. "Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?"
Kakashi stared at the small baby, looked at Sakura, then Tsunade, then the baby again. "Well…Naruto here fainted when Keitaro here came out…so why not…"
Sakura smiled, but then started to cry. Nobody in that room knew what she was crying about, whether it be tears of joy or that it's because Sasuke wasn't here to see this…
"Well…here's little Keitaro…" Tsunade gently said, handing the small child in Sakura's arms.
Little Keitaro stopped crying looked at Sakura with the smile that Sasuke always gave her. His green eyes that he inherited from Sakura gleamed in her eyes. The face was almost like a younger Sasuke with a little bit of Sakura's features here and there. After all, that forehead of his is a very significant feature from Sakura. She cried and cried in joy and sorrow at the same time.
Naruto was finally awakened by the his delayed reaction from Keitaro's crying. He quickly stood up, and walked by Sakura's hospital bed.
"Hey…he looks just like Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed, leaning over to get a closer look of his tiny face.
Keitaro started to cry.
"Eh?! What did I do?" Naruto frantically asked.
Keitaro cried even louder.
Sakura smiled. "It seems my son here takes after Sasuke…"
---
Sasuke gasped and felt that something was wrong. He could feel that something was calling him. He stood up from the bed of grass, until Orochimaru slapped him so hard it knocked him again to the ground. Blood dripped down his head, and he weakly stood up again.
"If you want to kill your brother…you should FOCUS!" Orochimaru angrily bellowed. He attempted to slap him again, but Sasuke stopped it with by grabbing his wrist.
"Hehe…now let's train again," Orochimaru said evilly, licking his lips.
Three Years Later
Sasuke knocked Orochimaru over and held a kunai knife at his neck."Let me go…or I'll kill you…" Sasuke darkly ordered."Why? Are you going back to visit those brats you knew since your childhood?" Orochimaru said, his hands tied to his back and lying on his stomach. "Your purpose in life is to kill your brother…not to see those friends you call back at Konoha…"
"My purpose has changed a long time ago…when I left to see YOU!"
"Don't you want to avenge your family? You want to revive your clan…you are the only one left…" Orochimartu attempted to hypnotize him into not going back to Konoha.
Sasuke couldn't take it anymore and stabbed Orochimaru right in the head. He laughed weakly, and stopped breathing. Sasuke stood up and left the kunai knife at this head. "If you'll excuse me, I have a lover to reunite with."
---
"Okay…say it again! You can do it! This is your last word!" Sakura motivated. Gifted little Keitaro, sitting on the grass with his mom and Naruto, was attempting to speak at an intermediate level, if you can call it intermediate.
"Yeah, you can say it! Believe it!" Naruto redundantly motivated as well.
"K-Ko-Kono-" Keitaro began to say, "Konoha!"
Sakura and Naruto clapped and praised Keitaro. "Very good!"
"Yeah, believe it!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Mommy?" Keitaro said with his small, young voice.
"What is it, Keitaro?" Sakura asked back.
"W-why does Naruto always say b-b-believe it?" Keitaro stuttered.
"Well…that's my catchphrase! When you grow up, you can have your own!" Naruto said, grinning.
The three of them stood up, ready to go to lunch. All of a sudden, Sakura and Naruto see a person 500 feet away. They didn't move, and Keitaro held on to Sakura's hand. It happened to be Sasuke, walking up to the three. Naruto and Sakura exchanged glances, and Keitaro looked up to see their expressions. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that something was up.
Sasuke finally walked up to the two, and hugged Sakura. Sakura let go of Keitaro's hand, and began to cry. She put her hands on his cold cheeks, and kissed him, for the first time in three years. Naruto watched the reunited couple from a distance. Keitaro, being afraid of the man standing in front of his mom, wrapped his arms around one of Sakura's legs. Sasuke stood back, and looked in Sakura's eyes.
"I'm so sorry…" Sasuke apologized.
Sakura wiped the tears running down her face. "You came back…but why did you just had to-" Her question was interrupted by Keitaro tugging on Sakura's dress. The look in his eyes showed Sakura that he was very scared, and confused. He looked up at Sasuke, and then looked at Sakura.
"Mommy, w-why does that man look j-j-just like me?" Keitaro innocently asked with his small, Sasuke-sounding voice.
Sasuke gasped and almost choked. "M-m-m-mommy?" Sasuke fell to his knees, dug his fingers in the grass, and began to cry. He began to cry even harder than Sakura did before. "I'm so….so sorry….I didn't know…" he tearfully said.
"S-sorry?" Keitaro confusedly said to himself.
"It's when someone is trying to let someone else forgive what they did," Naruto whispered in his ear.
Sakura knelt down with Sasuke, and held him at her bosom. "You had to leave like that….promise me…don't ever do that again…"
"I will never, ever leave you again…" Sasuke tearfully said.
"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed.
Sasuke looked up to find Naruto standing by Keitaro.
"If you didn't know yet, this is your son, Keitaro. I've been the one substituting for you…." Naruto explained briefly. "You don't have to thank me…Keitaro, this is your daddy!"
Sasuke gave him a half smile, and looked down at his son's level. "K-Keitaro?"
"Are you my daddy?" Keitaro asked.
Sasuke nodded. He held his arms out, and Keitaro ran right to him. Sasuke fell over, and hugged him tight. Sakura sat by him, and she looked up at Naruto with an expression saying, "Thank you for everything you have done."
Naruto nodded in approval, pointed in the direction where they were supposed to go until Sasuke came. "I'll go get lunch and bring it here," he whispered.
Sakura nodded, and joined Sasuke and Keitaro in their reunion. Sasuke laid on the grass under the blue sky with his son on his stomach. He turned to look at Sakura, and she smiled back.
"Welcome back, my lover…" Sakura thought to herself.
-THE END-
A/N: Keitaro is a Japanese name that means blessed. In other words, Naruto came up with this name saying that Sakura was blessed to bear a child for Sasuke. So yeah…the end! I hope you like it! Review please, I accept any kind.
