His Daughter


Chapter 1

"All?" Sasuke questioned again once they had left the Hokage's tower, and he had regained his calm demeanour.

"All what?" Sakura asked looking back at him over her shoulder as she pulled him down the busy streets of the village.

"You said they should all still be training who's all?" He questioned, to Sakura's surprise, normally the male wouldn't have answered her question, rather he would have made her think it out or just call her annoying; a smile made its way onto her face.

"You didn't think we were the only ones to have a kid did you?" She laughed turning back to the road in front of them. They walked in silence for a long time before Sasuke broke the serene stillness.

"So...you're not mad" He stated, to a normal person it would have been a statement, but Sakura knew better, she knew that it had been a question, with the way that he said the words and the way he looked at her from the corner of his eye, the way he slightly hesitated when speaking the words, even after all these years, she still knew him.

"No, I'm not" She said simply, his gaze shifted from the familiar roads and houses to the women who was walking beside him, her small sold hand is his large calloused one. He watched her silently, allowing her to lead the way once again. No, she wasn't mad, she looked older, but that was obvious, it had been 14 years since he had last seen the konechi. She looked content, maybe slightly annoyed, he could see the small dark bags under her eyes from lack of sleep – he could blame himself for that imperfection on her face. When they were younger he'd thought her long hair had made her look childish, and when she had cut it due to the chuninn exam he had thought the style looked good on her and had been more practical for a ninja, now he retracted the mental statement, Sakura looked best with long hair, defiantly the best. The childish glimmer that had resided in her eyes in the years before their present meeting had turned into a warm glow, but there was a sharpness in her eyes, that had grown over her years as being Kohana's top medic-nin. Her strength amazed him, her whole aura emanated her power, she had grown strong over the years of his absence, she was confident, self-aware, she was well put together, she had found her place in the world and she was content. Everything about her was irresistible, he was drawn to her, and she was a part of him, a part he couldn't be without; He needed her, but she didn't need him.

"Why?" He asked finally, pulling her so she would stop. They stood with their backs turned to the outskirts of the town, the forest before them; the sounds of both were like a familiar lullaby for the two.

"'Cause your back" She smiled "and your still holding my hand" She squeezed his had to make her point. He squeezed back as if it were out of habit, but they both knew it had never been in his nature to hold hands, or to show any kind of affection towards a person before his large absence.

"Like I could let go of it again" He muttered under his breath, his cheeks tinting with pink, she let out a soft chuckle and looked up into his onyx eyes smiling.

"Good, 'Cause I'm not gonna give you the option" She smirked and pulled him towards the forest like they had previously been.
