Summary: "Sasuke and Sakura! Your new mission is to protect and escort this baby." Sasuke is back. Sakura hates his guts. She wants nothing to do with him and …wait… Say that again. They're gonna be 'parents'?!?!
A/N: I've decided that since everyone wants this story in Sasuke's P.O.V, I will make it every other chapter, Sasuke's, Sakura's and Naruto's and maybe some other P.O.V's. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Talk to Me Darling
"Sakura-channnn!!" Naruto screamed, running towards the ramen stand.
"Naruto! Calm down!" I said hitting him on the head.
"Itai! Tsunade-baachan wants to see you in her office." Naruto had anime tears streaming down his face.
Poor Naruto. "Sorry Naruto. See ya later." I paid for the ramen and walked towards the Hokage tower.
Life is so unpredictable. On day Naruto could be promising to bring the love of your life back to you and the next day, he could be running up to you saying he didn't bring him back. No, he was found in a forest half-dead. Ino would be fighting over me with Sasuke then she falls for another raven-haired bastard. Hinata, the turtle always inside her shell, finally gets the courage to tell the man of her dreams she loves him. The beautiful Sakura Haruno stuck without a man.
Ironic huh?
Sasuke and I haven't been getting along all too well. Not that I gave him a chance anyway. Could you blame me? The only thing I said to him was 'Morning Uchiha' You heard me right. NO Sasuke-kun. My fan-girl days are over and I refuse to stoop so low that I actually fall for a jerk like that again! Deep breath Sakura.
Hmm. How should I put this? Sasuke is just like my kunai. Sure, at one point, the kunai used to be sharp, new and deadly. But as time progresses, the kunai gets old, the edges become ragged and you won't need it anymore. Then you move to the next. Poor Sasuke. I think he actually tried to talk to me but I just shooed him away. I remember when I had to go heal him. Surely Tsunade-sama did that in purpose.
'Sakura. I need you to go heal Sasuke. It seems Naruto's clones knocked him out.'
'Ugh. Do I have to?' I asked annoyed.
'Excuse me?'
'I mean, Yes Tsunade-sama.'
'Right. He's in Room 205.' I went down the hall to Sasuke's room. My palms were sweaty and my hands were slightly shaking. I didn't know why I was so nervous. I made a pact that Sasuke wouldn't get to me anymore. Unfortunately, that pact was over-ruled. I opened the room to find Sasuke asleep. He looked so peaceful. Something I knew he only found in sleep. I brought my hands to his forehead and healed him. As I turned to leave, something, or someone, grasped my wrist.
'Sakura.'
'What' I asked harshly.
'Thank-you'
I snorted and glared at him.' It seems like I've been hearing that same line from you for the past 6 years. Give it a break Uchiha.'
I turned my heel and left the room, completely satisfied with myself.
I walked a little further until I found the tower. I sighed loudly and climbed the stairs. I was greeted by Shizune on the way there.
"Good afternoon Sakura-san!" Shizune said happily.
"Good afternoon Shizune. Do you know what Tsunade-sama wants from me?"
"Uh…no." she lied.
"Shizune…"
"I do but I'm afraid Lady Tsunade will have my head if I told you what was going on without her explaining her--" she stopped and looked over my shoulder.
"What is it?" I turned around to meet the onyx eyes I fell in love with years ago.
"Excuse me? Do you mind if I steal Sakura from you Shizune?" he asked with his monotone voice. Shizune glanced at me with an apologetic smile.
"N-no. She's all yours Uchiha-san" she took one more look at me before she walked away.
"What do you want?" I asked Sasuke once Shizune was out of sight.
"To talk."
"Don't expect me to listen to a goddamned word you say." I glared at him for a few seconds and started walking. He followed.
"I take it you're mad at me."
"Hn." I said stealing his word.
" And you won't listen to me at all?"
"Aa."
" Whatever." he said and shoved his hands in his pockets. I rolled my eyes. Just like him to start and finish something in a blink of an eye. I walked ahead of him and after a few moments, I noticed he was still following me.
"Why are you following me Uchiha?"
" Lord Hokage asked me to meet her in the office."
"Whatever."
We were walking and earning a few stares from people in the tower. Almost everyone knows that I was going anti-Sasuke, so I guessed it shocked them for me to be within two feet of him. Hell, it surprised me too! Finally, we reached Tsunade-sama's office.
Knock. Knock.
"Come in!" someone yelled from inside.
We walked in the room to find Tsunade -sama holding a sleeping baby with black hair and dark blue eyes. 'Oh Kami' I stole a glance at Sasuke and found that he was equally confused.
"I called you both here today becau--"
"Both?" Sasuke and I asked at the same time.
" Ahem. As I was saying you both will--"
"I am not working with her." I glared a glare that made the toughest ninja terrified.
"Excuse me? I think I should be saying that not you!"
"Listen up, I sure as hell don't want to work with you. Probably more than you don't want to work with me!." What the fuck? The nerve of this man!
"No you listen. You self-centered, arrogant, conceited, twisted, pathetic excuse of a real man! You--" I screamed in his face.
Sasuke opened his mouth to interrupt my rant but he was interrupted by the loud crying of the baby. Tsunade-sama was trying her best to get the baby to calm down but she wasn't having any luck. I outstretched my arms signaling that I wanted to hold the baby.
Without hesitation, Tsunade-sama gave him to me. As soon as I got him, I shushed and cooed and eventually, he quieted down. They were looking at me like I stole something.
"I love kids." I stated matter-of-factly. It wasn't a lie. I used to help Iruka-sensei with the kids at the Academy when he wasn't around. I noticed Sasuke looking at me out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head sharply to the other side so I wouldn't see him at all.
"Sasuke, Sakura! I called you here today to assign a mission both of you will do together. Your new mission is to protect this baby and escort him to the Land of the Waves. His name is Riyo Tokatsu. Riyo is from one of the famous clans besides the Hyuuga clan and the Uchiha clan." Sasuke flinched.
"What happened to his parents?" I asked afraid of the answer.
"They were assassinated." I gasped and looked at the baby. Not even old enough to remember the people who brought him into this world. So sad.
" You are to meet at the gates in the morning. You are dismissed." Tsunade shooed them out the office.
I looked at Sasuke who was already looking at me.
"Humph." I said…or not and stalked out the room with the baby in my arms.
