My Favorite Mistake
Chapter Two: Secrets Of The Blossom.
Sakura stared at the village that laid out before her. It was a lot different then she remembered. Maybe it was the new buildings that stood where the old ones had been. Maybe it was the fact that she was different person from the last time she was here. She was no longer naive. She knew the truth. She knew the darkness that sat behind the fake light. She knew where the line of right and wrong had been crossed.
She looked behind her to find Karin and Sasuke walking at the same pace as her. It was like they were dreading what laid a head. She bawled her fist digging her nails into the plams of her hands. This was what laid ahead of her and just like all the other things she had faced she would not let it weigh her down. She flashed Karin a reassuring smile as they walked further and further into the village. She wondered if anyone would recognize her anymore. She hardly recognized herself.
It wasn't long until the three of them sat in a dimly light room. Their hands tied behind their back and to the metal chairs they sat in. Sakura stared forward. They were now sitting in an integration room deep underground Sakura assumed from how cold it was in the room. She looked to her left to find Sasuke he looked at her weakly trying to stay strong. She turned to her left to find Karin.
"He's coming Sakura, I know he's coming for you." The red heads words helped sooth the pinkette but it wasn't long until the door swung open reviling a very angry looking Ikibi. Sakura stared forward not even flinching an inch. Karin jumped slightly and Sasuke stayed as still as Sakura.
"Well well well, It would seem like we finally have the traitor back," Ikibi said moving to Sasuke. Sakura turned and glared at him.
"You leave him alone," Sakura said. Ikibi turned to stare at the pinkette. The initial shock waved off and his face hardened again.
"So then I should just speak with you. Haruno Sakura. A few months ago you were just a normal leaf Kunoichi. What changed?" Ikibi moved to stare her down. Sakura's glare only hardened.
"Lots of things change," She bit back.
"I hear you joined the Akatsuki?" Sakura remained quiet. She refused to break eye contact but there was no way in hell she was answering the questions.
"I request to speak with Tsunade-shishou," Sakura said. The two stared at each other for a long moment before Ikibi turned and left the room. Sakura sighed in relief once the door was shut. "Are you okay Karin?" Sakura asked looking to the red head. Karin nodded.
"Yeah, I'm okay." She whispered. Sakura smiled.
"Don't worry everything will be fine," Sakura said. Just as soon as the words left her mouth she wish she hadn't. The door swung open to revile a very pregnant Ino. The blonde had tears in her eyes as she stood in the door way staring at her best friend. Ino had to hold back a sob as she looked over Sakura. She was a completely different person then who she remembered. There was hardly a shadow of the old Sakura in her.
"Sakura?" Ino asked moving closer to the pinkette. Sakura had to bit her lip to keep herself from crying. She didn't think it would hurt this much to be face to face with the people in her past.
"Yeah Ino, it's me." Sakura whispered before warm arms wrapped around her. Loving arms that belonged to her best friend. That was the thing about best friends they still loved you even when you didn't remember who you were. Sakura laid her head on Ino's shoulder enjoying the warmth. After being cold for so long it was a nice change.
"I just had to see you. I had to know that you were okay," Ino said pulling away from Sakura. "I have to go before dad finds out I used his pass to sneak in. Just remember… to be who you are," and with that Ino left the room. Sakura bit her lip. She didn't even know who she was anymore. How could she remember?
Sakura closed her eyes and tried to remember. Tried to remember something that would bring her back to the person she used to be. She opened her eyes and glared at the steel door. She wasn't that person anymore. This whole experience had opened up something that had changed everything about her. Who she was now. Who she used to be. Who she would be in the future.
The door opened and Tsuande walked in. Behind her stood Shizune. Sakura felt the familiar sting in her throat and eyes at seeing the two women who had taken her as if they were own. Sakura stared into those honey eyes. She didn't even know what to say. Should she say sorry? And even if she did say sorry what was it that she was even sorry for?
Sakura opened her mouth only for a hand to smack her clear across the face. Sakura's mouth hung opened as she stared at Sasuke who was watching her. Sakura turned back around to face Tsunade who had tears in her eyes. "I lost you, I thought you were dead! Sakura! Dead! I thought I lost a daughter… and now you're here… and it's like I never knew you before…" Sakura looked away from the honey eyes that stared down at her.
Sakura stiffened when warm arms wrapped around her neck and she felt Tsuande's tears soak into her worn and ripped dress. Sakura's eyes widened and looked to Shizune who stood smiling sadly down at her. "Sakura… I need you to tell me… I need you to tell me the truth. I need to know what happened." Tsunade said as she backed away from the pinkette.
Sakura stared at Tsunade's shoes. Those damn black heels. Sakura's eyes then wondered up the familiar dark green pants and past the gray top until she met Tsunade's face. "Sakura I can't help you unless I know what happened… why you did what you did…"
"There is never a time or place for true love… it happens… accidently, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing throbbing moment. I tried so hard to hate them," Sakura said looking up to meet Tsuande's eyes. "I tried so hard to despise them with everything I had in me… and then… despite all my efforts… I opened my heart to them… and they did the same for me. They loved me. Protected me. Made sure Orochimaru would never get his hands on me." Sakura bit her lip as a tear rolled down her face. "And then… I found him. They say you never get to choose who your soulmate. I had no choice in the matter. I fell so far in love with him I never thought I'd get out. He completed me, in every way. He was dying," Sakura let out a sob and the tears fell freely. "He loves me. He loves me for me,"
"Who? Sakura… who?" Tsuande asked.
Sakura looked up and swallowed hard ready to say it all out loud when the door swung opened to revile a terrified looking chunin.
"Uchiha Itachi has entered the main gate Tsuande-sama!" the man yelled. Sakura eyes widened and she smiled. He was really coming for her. He really did love her.
Tsuande turned to face Sakura who was sobbing uncontrollably. Tsuande glared. What the hell was Uchiha Itachi doing here? She turned to leave the room.
"Shishou!" Sakura yelled causing the older woman to look back at her. "I'm pregnant. Itachi is the father,"
