Don't own Naruto .o.o.

The walk back to Ichiraku's seemed shorter than when they left, there weren't as many people on the street either, that or they all could sense Sakura was extremely upset and got out of her way.

And what she saw when she arrived out front only angered her more. Standing outside with Naruto and her husband... was indeed her most hated rival, dressed in a very short black and red kimono that was practically falling off her top, exposing most of her chest to everyone around. And like Shiori said, she was hanging on Sasuke's arm, rubbing herself against him; Sasuke, being either too nice of a person or just wasn't affected by her attempts, hadn't bothered to push her away... big mistake.

Naruto was the first to spot the seething pink haired woman, a big apologetic smile on his face. He knew he was in trouble with both his friends for not telling them that the psychotic woman was being released from jail, but how could he? With what happened to the family just that past April with Setoru's kidnap, he didn't want to tell them that village was asked to help track down some escaped prisoners from the land of wind... Naruto couldn't tell Gaara no, but he didn't have anyone else with the skill to find them all in time... except Karin. He pleaded with the councel not to release her but they refused his wish; the lives of the villagers and their ties with wind were more important than the torture her release would put on the Uchiha family. So right after she was out they sent her to wind... apparently her mission was completed early and that's why she's back so soon.

"Can you believe what they did to me Sasuke-kun? Over ten years I was stuck in there; half of my youth is gone!"

"Hn."

"But don't worry... we still have plenty of time to complete your second goal together."


"Momma, why's that lady trying to kiss daddy?"

'That's a very good question baby, another one your father will have to answer along with why he's letting her hang all over him!'

"Hell-Hello Sakura-chan... did you girls find what you were looking for?" Naruto was trying to calm the situation down before it got started, but with the way Sakura's chakra was rising he knew that wasn't happening. It seemed Karin didn't hear the hokage's words, or she just ignored them, which angered Sakura more and she wasn't the only one upset either; off to her right she could see both her boys were glaring daggers at the red headed woman.

Setsumi, not liking all the hostilely around her, decided to approach her father and the strange woman; wishing to show Sasuke her new necklace she got. "Daddy... daddy look!"

Hearing his daughter's cheerful little squeak of a voice not only relieved Sasuke so to put a small smile on his face, but also terrified him because is she was back that meant his wife was also; and no doubt she would be upset with his ex-teammate handing on him.

When the child reached his side, Sasuke untangled himself from the woman to pick up his daughter; who immediately clung to him in a possessive manor as if to say to the strange lady 'this is MY daddy, not yours,' while she buried her tiny head under his chin.

Seeing the child being held protectively in the Uchiha's arms startled Karin, for one she never thought a child would approach him in such a friendly way, and that he would willing touch the kid; last time she saw him, he was being dragged out of his cell for another interrogation ten years before... this was a complete change in attitude.

"Sasuke-kun... who's this little cutey, a friend of yours?" Karin smiled and waived a finger as if to say hi to the child. And Setsumi, being raised with manners smiled and shyly waive back, but didn't say a word.

'Friend? Ha! Not only is she older, but her hearing must be going as well because Setsumi clearly called him daddy... twice!' Sakura was livid and about ready to jump the other woman; even with her formal kimono on she could still land a punch or two... she didn't want that wench anywhere near her baby.


"She's my daughter Karin," Sasuke finally answered her question, which he felt was a stupid one seeing as again Setsumi called him daddy... twice!

Sakura, for the first time since she got to the scene, loved the look of horror on Karin's face as she took a step away from Sasuke. "Wh-What! But... that's impossible, how can she be yours?"

"Hi! I'm Uchiha Setsumi... and this is my daddy!" It was at that moment Setsumi's shyness disappeared and she stuck out her baby hand to shake Karin's... a big cheesy smile on her face. At her announcement Karin glared hate filled eyes at the child, and was about to smack her hand away as if it would burn her, had it not been for the red eyes of Sasuke's sharingan staring at her over Setsumi's head.

"Sasuke-kun... how could you do this to me! You said you needed my help completing your goal, so how could you sleep with another woman... and... and have a child with her!"

"I thought the hokage brought the children to their parents?" Shiori's random question went unheard by the adults, but Setoru who was told the same story by his father several years before and then the correct one by their mother a couple years later, knew that wasn't true.

'He said what! When I get through with him, his goal will be finished with Setsumi.' Sakura was ready to castrate her husband right then and there once he put their daughter back on her feet.

"I needed you to help locate my brother... nothing more," Sasuke clearly stated so his foaming wife could hear him.

"We had an uncle! How come we never see him!"

"Now is not the time for to be talking about that Shiori," Naruto tried to hush the young boy, he really didn't think it would do the village any more good to have two of the three most powerful shinobi in it to be angry at one time.

At Shiori's outburst Karin turned in his direction to spot not only him, but the miniature copy of Sasuke as well. "What's going on? Who are they!"

"They are my sons."

"How many women have you slept with!"

"That's enough! Naruto, please go take the kids to play some games," Sakura ordered while throwing some money in his direction; she didn't want any of her children to be exposed to Karin's blunt words any longer, there would be too many questions to answer once they got home.

"Yeah sure Sakura-chan, come on kids you heard your mother," the hokage jumped at the chance to get away from the massive amount of chakra that was building up at the moment, he took Setsumi from her father and dashed off down the block.


Once they were gone Sakura's wrath that had been building up was unleashed as she approached the other two adults. She knew she was suppose to be the calm, cool, not jealous wife, because she really didn't need to be, Sasuke was a very honorable man; and with three children and ten years together, there was no way he would drop her for this jail bird. But there were just times where Sakura had to back up out of the mommy role for a few minutes, and allow her already short temper to explode; and this was on of those times, when she didn't say a word and just walked up... and punched the unsuspecting other woman.

Sasuke was stunned... not expecting his sweet, angelic wife to do such a thing.

"Don't you have any common sense not to talk about such things in front of children, they don't need to be curious about who their parents are sleeping with!"

Once after the shock of being knocked off her feet wore off, Sakura's words sunk in. "You're... you're their mother!" Karin looked up from her position on the ground to see Sakura encased in Sasuke's strong arms. The Uchiha family crest she was so use to seeing on the back of Sasuke's shirt black shirt, was blazing at her from the back of Sakura's red and white kimono.

"Yes, I am their mother, and as such I don't want you anywhere near them!" Sakura directed that comment more towards her husband than the red head... Sasuke pulled her closer to his body, his unspoken agreement to her demand, and to also protect her as Karin stood up.

"I can't believe you would do this to me Sasuke-kun, I've waited for you all this time, and you go and marry her? I thought you were with that dog trainer?"

"Like you said, it's been ten years, things change... people change." Sakura couldn't help the little smile that came to her lips as she thought about their encounter with the children ten years before.

Karin thought that smile was a shot at her and growled, "This isn't over, you'll see who really should be with Sasuke... I'll show you," with that said the fiery red head turned and walked away from the couple into the crowd.

"Thank god she's gone."

"Hn... I can't believe you hit her."

"I've been waiting eleven years to hit her, and yet she still doesn't get the hint."

"Aa."

"You won't have to worry about her Sakura-chan," Naruto suddenly appeared with the three Uchiha and his family out of no where," I'll be putting her on a lot of tracking missions; she won't have the time to bother you."

"Thanks Naruto."

"Daddy... daddy, I didn't get to show you my necklace mommy got me." Setsumi ran up to her parents in excitement. Sakura picked her up and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, as the child pulled her new treasure from under the collar of her kimono. "See daddy?"

"Aa... it matches your eyes."

"Hehe... that's what mommy said. Hey where's that lady go? I didn't like her very much. Was she a witch? She looked like one and she was trying to put a spell on daddy."

Sakura was trying to understand why the child would think such a thing, even though she completely agreed with her, Karin did seem very witch like trying to gain Sasuke's attention on her. "No, no uncle Naruto didn't call her a witch Setsumi... he called her a bi-."

"Let's not repeat what adults say Shiori hehe, you could get in trouble for such language," the blonde man clasped his hand over the boy's mouth, preventing him from finishing his sentence... but the others got what he was about to say, and Sakura wasn't happy about it.

"Naruto!"

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan!"

"So... she's not a witch?"


Note: That ends this two part one-shot... this side was much longer. My favorite part was Sakura hitting Karin, this is probably the only time you will ever see her in any of these stories. Naruto sends her on missions a lot, so she's never in the village.
