A/N: Sorry for the delay and sorry to my Beta, I just couldn't keep waiting. I don't blame you or anything and I understand that life throws you curves balls. I just got my computer running today! LOL.. I've had to use my Papa's computer.. which didn't have any of my files on it. So yeah! Sorry about all the wait and the awful grammar errors... I suck I know.. hopefully your eyes won't burn too badly. Look out for another surprise ending... The world continues to grow smaller, all of it is very important to my plot line and will be explained. People grow closer in the next few chapters. People realise feelings as well. People keep secrets and lie. I suppose that is life! Get ready for some soap opera like writing my friends! you're in for a ride!


Tsunade glared at the young Uchiha at her god daughters side.

"This, is the wonderful man you wanted me to meet?" She asked, anger evident in her voice.

Sakura nodded.

"How do you know My Godmother?" Sakura asked.

"Because, she's the dobe's Aunt." Sasuke stated.

Tsunade grinned and ushered the two inside, trying to stop any more on the topic.

"Sasuke, when Sakrua called saying she was bringing a wonderful man, I thought she was being serious, guess the joke is on me." Tsunade stated, malice in her voice.

Sakura looked at Sasuke in question.

"I don't know why you'd want to be with some one like Sasuke." Tsunade stated, setting them at the table. "He is known to be a playboy."

"Those are all rumours, Tsunade." Sasuke spit.

Sakura sighed.

Tsunade rolled her eyes and set her hands on the table.

"Look, Auntie," Sakura started, "Its obvious you don't like Sasuke, I respect that, but you must know that I do love him, and I would appreciate if you'd treat him with respect."

Tsunade nodded with a glare cast at the Uchiha."Very well, if you insist."

Sakura smiled. "Good."

Jiriya entered the room which got Sasuke on his feet again. "What is he doing here?"

"He's my Godfather." Sakura stated.

"That is Naruto's dobe uncle." Sasuke stated through gritted teeth.

Sakura nodded. "You two are married?"

Tsunade shook her head. "Jiriya is Naruto's mother's brother."

Sakura pouted. "You guys never tell me anything."

Tsunade sighed and began serving food. Each member of the party ate in silence, it was uncomfortable for most of them, considering how they knew each other. Sakura coughed and brought everyone's attention to her.

"Ah, There is another reason we're here tonight." Sakura stated, blushing.

"You're pregnant?" Jiriya asked, stuffing potatoes into his mouth.

Sakura turned a deeper shade of red. "No."

"Good," He stated, glaring at Sasuke. "I wouldn't want there to be any unfortunate occurrences set in motion leading to an untimely but asked for death."

Sasuke glared back. Sakura coughed. "Rrright. Anyway, Sasuke asked me a question the other day."

"What, to meet your family?" Tsunade asked. She stabbed at a piece of meat.

"No." Sakura stated. "well, yeah but that isn't the question I'm talking about."

"Are you taking him to see Hana too?" Tsunade asked, pressing the conversation in another direction.

"Hana?" Sasuke asked, trying to remember where he heard Sakura speak of her.

Sakura looked at her plate. "My sister." A tear fell into her potatoes, mixing with gravy. "It's too cold tonight to go to the graveyard Tsunade."

Tsunade nodded. "Be sure to inform Sasuke about your sister."

Sakura nodded blinking back tears. She let out a deep laboured breath. "He asked me a question."

"Yes, and I'd like to hear what he asked you." Tsunade bit, looking at the Uchiha again.

She looked up her eyes filled with pain. "He wants me to marry him."

Tsuande nodded. "Very well."

"Hm?" Sakura, Sasuke, and Jiriya all asked at once.

"I said very well, get your hearing checked." She growled, shoving food into her mouth.

"B-but." Sakura stated.

"It's your choice Sakura, marry the teme, just don't come to me when he leaves you for some girl." Tsunade stated, before downing her fourth glass of Sake that night.

"I'll never leave her." Sasuke scowled.

"I believe you said that to a lot of girls." Tsunade hissed, her eyes glazed with drunken stupor.

"Only one." Sasuke whispered. "Sakura."

She heard him and smiled at him sweetly. "Sasuke-kun."

He ignored her. "Let's go home Sakura."

"No," She stated, smiling. "I want to show you my family photos. Tsunade keeps them in a big album for me!"

"I don't think that's a good idea right now." Tsunade snapped, gathering up plates. "It's getting late, you better be going."

"Nonsense." Sakura insisted. "I want him to see my father, Mom, Hana, Iruka, Hawkeye, Black Hayate." She was pulling him to the bookcase in the living room smiling as she chatted.

"Tsuande says we should leave, I think it's best we do so." He muttered. She ignored him.

She pulled out a large brown book and pulled Sasuke to the couch. She shoved him on it and took the seat next to him. She laid the book across them, much like the safety bars on roller coasters, there was no escape now.

She opened it to the first page that contained a rather large photo of two girls and a big dog with a puppy. She pointed to it. "That is Hana and I with Black Hayate and his daughter Hawkeye." She smiled. "Hawkeye's mom died around the time she was born. So about the time I was eleven. Black Hayate died just shortly after Hana did." She was silent for a moment. She turned the page to reveal the same two girls standing in front of a tall man with a scar across his nose. "That is Iruka and my sister and I. He was our babysitter.. so to speak." She smiled. "I haven't seen him since Hana's funeral." She turned the page to reveal a smiling woman holding the two girls. They were very small, no older than four and six. The woman looked oddly familiar to Sasuke.

"Who is that?" He asked, pointing.

"That's my mother." She smiled. "She died a few months after this picture was taken." she smiled sadly. "I was only four."

Sasuke nodded. Sakura turned the page. "That is Mika-chan." Sakura smiled. "She was my best friend up until she moved."

She turned the page to reveal a large family photo. "From left to right. Front Row: Me, Mika-chan, Hana, My cousin. Second row: Mom, dad, Iruka, My aunt. Third row: Aunt Tsuande and Uncle Jiriya."

Sasuke just looked at the photo, his jaw slightly dropping. "The man and the woman."

"My mom and dad?" She asked.

"No, your aunt and your father." He pointed.

"What about them?" Sakura asked.

Tsuande looked in and cringed at the photo before sneaking off and locking herself in her office with a bottle of Sake.

"Those are Naruto's parents."


A/N: Told you it would get smaller.
