Sorry for making you wait! I hope this chapter isn't too boring for you. Sakura explains everything to them so there's really not much going on. Sorry if it's kinda boring.

For those of you who need a recap: Team 7 Arrived to sign up for the Chuunin Exams with a few minor changes, when they find out from Maito Gai that the Chuunin Exams have been postponed indefinitely! Why? They find out when they enter the room. Uchiha Sasuke from the future has arrived and he wants to take over Konoha! He has given them an ultimatum of 3 days, or else.

Many questions are answered in the last chapter. Such as the fact that Sasuke was the one who was in Sakura's bedroom. We find out where Sakura obtained that wedding ring around her neck. And Sasuke has just announced to everyone that he is Satoshi's father!

ON TO THE STORY!

Standard Disclaimer applies!

Hey, sorry this chapter might be boring. It's basically a filler chapter and Sakura explaining some stuff. More will happen in the next chapter

(Also, you guys really want to know about Gaara, huh? I got TONS of people asking me about Gaara! It's SasuSaku people! Gaara comes later! Sorry Gaara fans. To all of you with questions, it'll all be answered in this chapter!)

What happened in the last chapter (a brief over view):

"Oh, and Sakura? I'd check up on Satoshi if I were you. You never know just when an accident will happen to him." He gave her that infuriating smirk.

She glared at him and her response was low and deadly. "You bastard Uchiha. I want you to stay away from my son."

With an unreadable expression that could almost be regret on his face, the only answer he gave to her, before disappearing in a whirlwind of raven feathers, was,

"He's my son too Sakura."

End Over view.

Instead of slumping down on the floor and crying for the safety of her son, as they had expected, the expression on Sakura's face got fiercer, if that was possible, and she ran over to the Hokage.

"Sandaime-sama! You must not surrender to a monster like him! Don't give in no matter what he says!"

Everyone was confused. Shouldn't she be worrying about her son? Only Sasuke saw through the façade.

I get it. If she doesn't dwell on it, she can't worry about it. If she doesn't worry about it, it won't scare her. She's trying to put up a brave front. Heh. She really has gotten stronger.

There were other thoughts whirling through his mind as well, but these he pushed aside as Sakura pushed aside the thoughts of her son. He too did not want to dwell on things that he could not yet understand.

He did not want to think about the fact that he had given Sakura his mothers ring or the tiny detail that she was a mother and that he was the father. It was all too much or him to handle at the moment. It was all too much for any of them to handle.

All the others were in shock of what they had just witnessed. There was a Sasuke from the future and apparently Sakura was from the future as well! Another shocker was that Sasuke had just announced that he was the father o Sakura's son, who he is planning to do something to!

Everyone was speechless. Once again, the silence was interrupted. This time though, it was by Konoha's second loudest blonde who broke it.

"What's going on here?!?!" Ino shrieked. "Forehead! You better have some explanations here!"

"Ino!" Shikamaru held out a hand to shut Ino up, but the damage was done. Sakura let go of the Hokage's shoulders and the fire was gone from her eyes. Her eyes roamed over the shinobi and kunoichi formed in a circle around the room. Her eyes lingered on Sasuke's face and her expression softened.

"Come." She announced. "I'll explain everything as soon as we get to a more secure place."

"Where would that be?" Kakashi spoke for the first time. "There probably is no more secure place than this room at the moment."

"There is if you know where to look." The crowd turned to see Sabaku no Gaara standing in the doorway without his siblings for once. "Follow me if you want privacy and a place to explain."

"Wait!" Sakura called out. "What are you doing? How do you know about this Gaara-san?"

He looked back at her and for once showed emotion. He smirked. "You think that you're the only one who came back from the future?"

Sakura made no indication that she was surprised, but only motioned for the others to follow.

Yes. This would be a big shock to all of them, but they deserved to know the truth. They deserved to know the consequences of Uchiha Sasuke's actions.

Gaara led the group to a clearing that, when they looked up, there seemed to be a net of chakra over it. Gaara explained that he used his chakra to create a net over the field. It was soundproof and no one could get within the force field set by the net without his permission.

He motioned for them to sit and they arranged themselves in a circle once more. Sakura positioned herself at the head of the circle against a tree and Gaara sat somewhat across from her.

She looked around at them and noticed who had followed her. It seemed that most of the jounin had stayed behind along with some of the genin to protect the Hokage who had business to take care of and could not take the time to come.

She was surprised to see that those who had followed her were the ones who she was closest to when she had grown besides Sasuke. Those who had followed her were Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, TenTen, Neji, Ino, Shikamaru, and Kakashi

Once everyone was comfortable, she made for Gaara to begin his tale, but he shook his head, indicating that she should go first. She gave a big sigh and started.

"I bet you all want me to explain right?" she continued when no one said anything, "Okay then, where should I start? This will take awhile. I guess I should start at the beginning:

"I came here the night before we were put into our genin teams. I traveled here from the future to stop a terrible thing from happening." She didn't mention the fact that she did this to stop a war.

"What about Sasuke!" apparently, that was all they wanted to know about.

Sakura tried to be reasonable, but her patience was being tried, "Wait a minute and you'll find out all about Sasuke-kun. Right now I need to explain what would have happened if I hadn't come and how it led up to me being here." She gritted her teeth.

"As I was saying, when I was young, I was weak. I didn't care about anything but Sasuke-kun. I was more obsessed about dates than working on my taijutsu. To top it all off, I wasn't special at all. I didn't have a Kekkei Genkai Sasuke-kun. I didn't have a demon locked inside of me like Naruto. I didn't even have a special jutsu of my own like Ino or Shikamaru."

She paused and looked down to the ground. "And then the Chuunin exams began. We passed the first test pretty easily. It was a written exam and Naruto freaked out, but we pulled through." She gave a half smile which disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

"Then the second test began. It was held in the Forest of Death, which is as the name implies. Each team was given either a heaven or earth scroll. We were supposed to get both scrolls and go to the tower in the middle of the forest. During that time, Orochimaru attacked us."

Another pause. This time, not so brief. She was lost in her thoughts and they politely left her to them. Even Ino knew it was not a wise time to start blabbering and yelling. Sakura leaned against the tree and closed her eyes. Slowly, almost as I she didn't want to continue, she did.

"When Orochimaru attacked, he knocked out Naruto and completely ignored me. He went straight for Sasuke-kun." She looked pointedly at the boy sitting in front of her.

"He bit Sasuke-kun on the neck powered with his chakra. It gave him a curse mark that filled him with an evil power. When he used it, he gained this aura. It reeked of evil and when I first saw it, I knew no good could come of it."

She remembered. Yes. When the curse mark spread across his body and he had been intent on killing Zaku, she had run to stop him. She had put her arms around him thinking that it might somehow bring Sasuke back. It might somehow bring the Sasuke that she knew and loved back.

"I won't go into much detail after that. All you need to know is that after the Chuunin Exams ended, there was an incident where Sasuke decided that he needed to leave to become stronger. He planned on going to Orochimaru who would give him the strength and power that he so craved. I tried to stop him that night and I couldn't."

She didn't mention the fact that she had poured her heart out to him that night. That she was willing to sacrifice herself for him. She would have followed him to hell and back if he had let her. And by offering to go to Orochimaru's lair, she had basically offered to do so.

"I realized how stupid I was as a fangirl and was sick and tired of always being the one needing protection. I strived to do better. After Sasuke-kun left, Naruto promised me he would try to bring him back to me. And failed. Sasuke-kun became Orochimaru's apprentice. But you know how Naruto is. He won't rest until his promise is fulfilled."

She smiled at the Naruto sitting beside her and hugged her knees to her chest. "Naruto too left to train with one of the sannin Jiraiya-sama. I stayed behind to train with the last sannin, Tsunade-shishou. She taught me how to control my chakra to gain super-human strength and to become a medical nin. When I turned 16 I surpassed her in every way possible they said. 'Beauty, Brains, and Talent' they said." She chuckled.

And now they had listened patiently to their story for about a while now. Now was the time to tell them what they really wanted to hear.

"When I was 16 years old, I had just become and ANBU captain and was on a routine mission to the Land of Wind, coming back from the Village Hidden in the Sand. It was at a small hotel in a gambling village that I met Sasuke-kun again for the first time since the rescue mission over a year ago."

All those listening in the circle that had waited for this explanation sat up a little straighter in their seats knowing that the information they wanted to know was coming. They would understand the interesting conversation had in the classroom.

"I don't how it happened or why, but all I remember from that night is Sasuke-kun. Only Sasuke-kun." She looked away briefly, her eyes shining before returning her eyes to them. They understood what happened. She had given into temptation. They didn't blame her for it. The girls understood. What it was like to love someone for so long and to suddenly be able to have them. The boys didn't, but they knew that to her, it made sense. They watched as her eyes became glazed but soon hardened into fury.

"He promised me something that night. He promised me that someday, when this was all over, he would come back to me. He told me that he loved me. He would always protect me. And I believed him. Stupid little fool I was." The tone of her voice was clearly bitter.

She reused to meet their eyes now. She didn't want to see the pity that they would try to hide. The only ones she knew would show no pity would be Sasuke, Gaara and Neji. But even so, she could not bear to see anything that might show in their eyes.

"The next morning, when I woke up, Sasuke was nowhere to be seen and there was a note with this diamond ring on it. The note was very straight to the point and simple. Just like Sasuke had always been. It said:

Take this ring as proof of my promise.

I will come back to the two of you someday.

Trust in me and my decision.

Uchiha Sasuke.

"Two months later, I found out I was pregnant and understood why Sasuke said that he would come back to the two of us in his note. But what was I supposed to do? I was barely 17 and pregnant with Uchiha Sasuke's baby! If it weren't for Tsunade-sama and the others, I don't know what I would have done." It was clear that she was trying not to cry.

"Sasuke never fulfilled his promise. He came only once to see my son after he was born. He said only that that night was a mistake he should not have made. A disturbance straying him from the path of the Avenger that he was. He had killed Orochimaru 2 years previously so his only goal was to kill Itachi."

Sakura's voice rose steadily now. "He told me that that night was a lie. The only reason that it happened was to ensure that there was an heir to the Uchiha clan should he die. I was chosen because I was the only female he trusted enough so that his son would become strong!"

"I haven't seen that man in 10 years. Yes, he defeated Itachi, but at what price? He didn't really mean that promise that he made. He only craves power. And now he is after my son! He is not Satoshi's father. If anyone is his father, it is Kakashi!"

She had stood up during this tirade, and now sat down with a flop. More silence followed, but it seemed as though Sakura had finished her story. They decided that now was the time to ask questions. A few noticed that she had holes in her story. For example, she had not mentioned any of them. She had not really mentioned the reason why she had come to the past. And the comment about Kakashi being the father raised a couple of eyebrows.

For a while though, they were silent, absorbing this information. Just as she had thought, there was pity in their eyes. How could he be so cruel as to do that to her? Was he really as cold hearted as she made him out to be? Eventually, they felt that they needed to speak.

Shikamaru would have been the first to speak up had he not been too lazy and had it not been too 'troublesome'. Thus, Neji was the first to speak.

"That is a nice story Sakura-san. But if you could, that doesn't explain to us why you came to the past." TenTen nudged Neji in the ribs,

"Also, I think some of us would like to know what happens to our future selves."

She looked blankly at him for a second. She smiled. It wasn't a happy one though. And Neji shivered.

That smile. It holds coldness in it. What else could have happened to her to make her gain that smile?

" I have to warn you now. None of us have a happy ending. Are you sure you wish to listen to what happens in your future?"

She connected eyes with everyone in the circle and saw that they honestly wished to hear their fate. Once again, she began to slowly pick up the tale.

"When Satoshi was 3 years old, Naruto left once again to try and bring Sasuke-kun back. He promised us all though, that he would be back in time for his wedding in 6 months."

"WEDDING?" Naruto's voice echoed around the field and Sakura tried hard not to laugh at the expression on his face. Hinata's face exploded in color and the only thing holding her up was Naruto's arm (which didn't really help.)

"Yes. Your wedding." She smiled coyly at Hinata. "You were engaged to someone you loved and who had loved you for years. You see, Hinata-chan was also pregnant when I was and her daughter was born not long after my son. They actually share a birthday. Naruto didn't want to marry her before she they turned 20, so they were going to wait until after Naruto came back from his mission."

This time Naruto was the one to blush. He sat back down and gave Hinata a squeeze. Once again Sakura left out some information. She didn't mention the fact that Neji had nearly killed Naruto when he found out that he had gotten Hinata pregnant and how funny it was. She sobered quickly though.

Sakura sniffled. "But Naruto didn't come back. Leaving two children without one of their fathers. Because you see, to Satoshi and Suzume, both Kakashi and Naruto were their fathers, helping Hinata-chan and I when we were tired and they wouldn't go to sleep. Getting us whatever we craved at 2 in the morning when we were pregnant. Letting us yell at them when we got mad. Even though Kakashi was already married and Naruto had a daughter of his own, they still took care of me." She smiled at Kakashi who returned her smile and then what she said registered in his mind.

"Wait! I'm married too?" She didn't reply but went on.

"I know the rest of you want to know what happens to you right?" Ino and TenTen nodded their heads.

"Well, let's see. Ino and Shikamaru married when they were 21."

Sakura was interrupted once again by a shout from the other loud blonde, "WHAT! I married that lazy bum?" She pointed to a wide-eyed Shikamaru, who now sat straight up and announced that,

"Man. I married a troublesome woman like her?"

Sakura ignored them and went on, "Yeah. A lot happened. About two years after their marriage, when Satoshi was almost 7, there was a raid." Ino's eyes widened in horror at what she feared Sakura was going to say.

"Ino was 8 months pregnant at the time. She was almost ready to give birth. She couldn't get out in time and was helpless when Shikamaru died trying to get her out. Nine guys against one pregnant woman, now that's not really fair." She looked away in disgust

"I made sure to kill each and every one of them afterwards."

Ino was no longer yelling and had tears sparkling in her eyes and Shikamaru put a comforting arm around her

The others had fallen silent once again and Kakashi had a grave look on his face. He knew the life of the shinobi. He knew the risks and the pain of losing the people you love. He believed that if he had been given the chance, like Sakura he would have gone to his own past to change the future. Just to see their smiling faces once more. He would have risked it all.

Sakura looked at TenTen and Neji. Her eyes dropped once more. "I think that probably the worst was the Hyuuga family. I mean Neji and his wife." Neji's fists clenched and TenTen put her own hand over it giving a reassuring squeeze. He laid his palm open and held her hand tenderly in his.

Sakura smiled at the display of affection. "Neji and TenTen married the earliest out of all of us; I had just given birth to Satoshi. They had a small wedding. Private as always." She gave a small bark of laughter that seemed to have a small bit of joy in it. "It was beautiful!" her eyes shimmered with the recollection and then dimmed with remembrance of why she was telling them this.

"They had been married about two months when Neji was called out to a mission in the Land of Waves. Something went wrong and there was a storm." Her voice lowered once again. "We never found his body and there were no other casualties, but TenTen was distraught. She couldn't stand it. Gradually, slowly, but gradually, she began to fade."

"Fade?" TenTen's voice wavered as if she didn't want to hear. And she didn't.

"Yes, she began to fade. Without Neji there to help her through her grief, though he was the cause, it began to eat away at her. She wouldn't eat, she wouldn't sleep, and she wouldn't go out. She felt alone even with all of us there with her. Eventually, it killed her." The wind blew Sakura's hair into her face making more of an emphasis on the despair she felt at not being able to prevent these things from happening.

"I think that I would have been the same too. If it hadn't been for Satoshi, I would've been the same. Sometimes I just wanted to die. I just told myself that I had to live for my son. I had to keep myself alive for him. I would not let that boy lose one more person dear to him." A crystal tear fell from her eye. She made no motion to wipe it away and after a second another followed.

Letting out a shaky breath, she continued, "There's nothing else to say really, since all of our fates are so grim. Nearly everyone I know has died in various ways. Kiba died in a fire trying to save Akamaru. Lee was training in the dojo when it blew up. And Shino just disappeared." She hung her head down once more and two more tears slipped out.

Sasuke watched as they fell and was fascinated by the story. His mind was reeling. Was that really how he was going to turn out? A cold and heartless monster. Once again that feeling that he had no name for welled up in his chest and bubbled up, threatening to form into words and spill from his lips. He looked to the pink haired girl once more and saw that she had wiped away her tears and was smiling at all of them.

"Anyway, you must be tired of listening to me and I've already explained everything to you." She turned to Gaara. "Now it's your turn Gaara-san. I've told my story now you tell yours. How did you get here and why?" She narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him.

His voice was as monotone as always, "You didn't think that Tsunade would send you alone did you? I owed her a favor and so I followed you." His explanation was so simple compared to hers that she sweatdropped. Hers really did take a long time. Leaning her head back against the tree again, she saw that the sky had darkened. Her eyes widened as she realized that everyone must be starving. Her eyes roamed around the circle and thought,

Especially Naruto. I'm surprised that he hasn't yelled out that he's hungry yet. She giggled to herself and stood up. Stretching her arms she announced, "Why don't we go to my place to eat? I'm sure that you're all hungry."

"Yeah! Ramen, ramen! Here I come!" you can all guess who this is.

"Come and follow me then. I'm not sure if my parents are home, but I'm sure they won't mind." She smiled brightly for someone who had just talked about such morbid information. Sasuke eyed her warily.

She has put up the façade again. She doesn't want to show any weaknesses. Hmph. Smart girl.

He followed silently as she led them away.

I have to admit. Things are getting interesting.

Sorry it was so boring. It's basically a filler chapter. But it explains a lot of what has happened!

Okay, so Sasuke is getting a little better. What a bastard! And we still haven't found out if Satoshi is okay! Stay tuned for the next chapter! Also, I'm making this a regular thing, I'm going to put the questions I think that people are asking or going to ask:

1. Is Satoshi okay?

2. Who is Kakashi married to?

3. Has anyone else followed them from the future?

4. How will Sakura's parents react?

5. When will Sasuke realize he loves her? He's getting closer!

Okay, Bye bye! KIKI KOALA
