Sakura felt a lot more at ease now that both the Uchiha brothers knew she was pregnant. She no longer had to hide it around the house, and she felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of her chest.
"I have to say though Sasuke, I'm really surprised you never found out before Itachi, what with all the kissing and hugging." Sakura struck up at the dinner table.
Sasuke looked slightly embarrassed and looked down at his food. "To tell you the truth, I did notice something, I just thought you had gained a little weight, that was all..." He looked up at Sakura. They both giggled.
Having just had this conversation, Sasuke and Itachi looked at what Sakura was eating. She had prepared dinner for them all-a bowl of pork and beef ramen. But Sakura was eating a bowl of pork and beef ramen, some rice on the side, Miso soup, and a few pieces of Sushi.
"Uhhh, Sakura, are you sure you're going to be able to finish all of that?" Itachi said slowly.
"Ugghh, I'm starving..."
"Yeah, but..."
"I'm eating for two, OKAY?! Now stop complaining and enjoy your damn meal!!" Sakura snapped back.
There was silence. Sakura looked up to see both Sasuke and Itachi staring at her. They had never heard her be in the slightest bit rude to anyone before.
Sakura sighed and put her hand to her head. "Uhh, I'm sorry you guys, I'm so sorry, It's just, this pregnancy is getting to me a little"
Sasuke put a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay Sakura, I understand. I read online that being pregnant not only makes you twice as hungry, but extremely hormonal too."
"Thanks Sasuke...I mean seriously, you guys try going from clinically depressed to out of control horny six times a day..." Sakura said.
"Believe me I could do that in the space of an hour..." Itachi interjected.
Sakura laughed.
"Believe me, Sakura. I'm so proud of what you're doing here..." Sasuke said giving her back a little rub.
"Me too" Itachi said, smiling.
I'm so happy... Sakura thought to herself. I'm in such a loving, caring environment! How can I ever repay them?
The days at school were getting tougher and tougher for Sakura. She had to go to the bathroom at least 7 times during the school day, which inevitably pissed off her teachers. Everywhere she went, everybody stared at her and whispered behind her back.
whoa, like what happened to Sakura?
Yeah, she's like totally preggers!
Like, omg, we should so go and ask her what happened!
These were the whispers that Sakura heard before Temari and Ino walked up to her.
"Hey Sakura!" Temari said, acting overly friendly.
Temari never talked to Sakura. "Um, hi" She said.
"We were like, totally wondering how you got that bump right there?" Ino said forwardly, "Like, are you actually pregnant, or did you just get fat?"
Sakura sighed. She looked up at the two plastic girls, chewing gum infront of her. "I just got fat." She finally told them. "Yep, that's right, my parents made me so many pancakes, I just couldn't resist and kept on eating and eating."
Sakura's best friend, Tenten, walked up to her taking her arm in hers. "Come on Sakura, let's go before we catch their germs." They started to walk away.
"Oh, by the way," Tenten added. "Who got you guys pregnant? Oh that's right, it was Jiraiya, wasn't it!" Sakura and Tenten both ran away before they could do anything. All they heard was "Like, I am totally going to like, KILL that little slut!"
Sakura laughed. "Thanks so much for being so supportive Tenten...It really means a lot to me"
"What are friends for?!" Tenten said smiling.
Tenten and Hinata were two of Sakura's closest friends. So far, they were the only ones she had told about her and Sasuke.
Sakura couldn't let anyone else at school find out about her and Sasuke. Word around the school spread like wildfire, and there was a whole horde of fangirls who would just be waiting to take her down if they found out Sakura was carrying Sasuke's baby.
After school that day, Hinta came up to Sakura.
"Umm, g-gomean nasai, Sakura, but c-could you please s-stay and help m-me with my math homework?" Hinata said twiddling her thumbs.
"Of course I will! I don't have much homework tonight anyway" Hinata smiled. "And try not to look so nervous all the time, Hinata!" Sakura said, giving her a playful push. Hinata chuckled.
So Sakura stayed for an hour with Hinata after school, working on her math homework. Hinata had always been so loyal to Sakura, so she was glad she could give her at least something small back.
"Uhh, I think I g-get that one, b-but I'm still not so sure on number twelve...Would you m-mind explaining it to me again?" Hinata said.
"Sure! Okay, so the length of the side of the triangle you want to find is x, so you take the side and the angle of the triangle that you already know, and..."
TMP TMP TMP
Sakura was interrupted by a knock at the door.
That's odd She thought This is only a classroom door, It's not like it's locked.
"Come in!" She called out. No reply came but only another few knocks.
Sakura looked up at Hinata with unease. Although there was a window on the door, they couldn't see anyone through it.
Sakura stood up and opened the door.
The two people standing there made her gasp out in shock. She took a step backward, and covered her hand up with her mouth, her eyes starting to tear up.
Standing before her, were none other, than Sakura's father and her step-mother Esmee. Flashbacks of abuse came back into her mind. She took another step backward.
"w-what?! W-why are you here?" She breathed. "I thought you were locked up..."
Sakura's father let out a cruel cackle. "Well, see we were put in an institution for the criminally insane...But seeing as we didn't actually kill anybody, we're allowed out from time to time aren't we?!"
"All we came here to know was, Who is the father of your baby?" Esmee said with a smirk.
"H-how did you know?" Sakura almost whispered.
"Heh! Youre pretty stupid aren't you?! It's just Konoha law, if something happens at school that the teachers see, then they have to contact your biological parents! Obviously, If you were pregnant, we would find out!"
"Sakura, are these p-people who I think they are?" Hinata said. Sakura had told Hinata about her parents and how she was abused and now living at Sasuke's, but Hinata had never seen her parents before.
Sakura simply nodded, still looking up at her parents.
"Well? Who's the father then?!" Demanded Esmee, this time louder.
"W-why do you care?!"
"Wrong answer!" Sakura's father screamed, pushing her up against the wall by her collar. "WHO IS THE FATHER?!" He yelled into her face.
Sakura tried as hard as she could to keep her composure and not break down in front of them. "You think you scare me with your b-big voice, and strong arms, b-but I'll n-never tell you who the father is...AGGHHH!"
Sakura cried out as she was slapped round the face by her father, so hard she was knocked off balance a little.
"SAKURA!" Hinata cried out. Although she was a shy person, she could not simply let this happen. She got up and shoved Sakura's father, hoping to avert his attention. He simply grabbed Hinata by he collar, and threw her down on the floor. Esmee kept guard by the door incase anyone was coming.
"How dare you!" Screamed Sakura, "You have no right to do this! You shouldn't have been let out, UHHH!" Sakura was slapped again.
"Tell me who the father is DAMNIT! I don't have all day!"
"Whoa, stop, someone's coming!! STOP!" Esmee yelled.
Sakura's father let go of her collar, and looked at the door to see who was coming. At the door, was Shikamaru.
He looked at the scenario. Sakura crying. Hinata on the floor. A man standing over Sakura. Shikamaru, having an IQ of over 200, analyzed what had happened almost immediately.
"I heard shouting, what's going on?" He said slowly.
"Oh! Hi there, Umm, We were just telling Sakura how proud we were of her for getting such good grades." Sakura's father put his meaty arm around her shoulders. "She's so sentimental she started tearing up, didn't you Sakura?!"
Sakura stood there, looking at the ground. She nodded slowly.
Shikamaru nodded. "I see." He said. He paused before yelling "KAGE MANE NO JUTSU!"
Sakura's father and Esmee froze. "What, I can't move! What have you done you little brat?!"
"Sakura, Hinata! Quick, get out of here!" Shikamaru yelled. "I'll get someone to take care of these two!"
Sakura and Hinata both got up and ran out the door, at the same time Esmee and Sakura's father yelling at her to not move a muscle. Sakura stopped by Shikamaru and said quietly, "Shikamaru, Arigato geseinmas!", and, tried to run off out the school, her feet pounding along the ground. Being pregnant, she couldn't exactly do anything physical with ease.
"ASUMA-SENSEI!" Shikamaru yelled. Although he was strong, he doubted he could take on these two by himself, especially Sakura's father bing three times his size, and already trying to break out of Kage mane no jutsu with brute force.
Outside the school, Hinata embraced Sakura in a tight hug. Hinata had started tearing up when she saw how Sakura was treated, and had offered for Sakura to come stay the night with her if she wanted, but Sakura refused.
"You've already done enough for me by being the best friend I could possibly ask for!" Sakura said. "You go on home now, I'll be alright, seriously."
"Alright" Hinata said "S-Sasuke better t-take good care of you!" She said with a giggle.
Sakura chuckled "Bye Hinata!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Little did Sakura know, Ino was walking round to Sasuke's house. Being the head of the Sasuke fan-club, she decided to be forward and confess her love for him.
She was wearing a strapless pink top, huge hoop earrings, and skirt that was so short it barely covered her underwear.
Arriving at the house, she rang the doorbell.
"That must be Sakura!" Sasuke said getting up. He opened the front door to see Ino standing infront of him.
"Oh, Ino. Hey, what are you doing here?" He saw what she was wearing. "Aren't you freezing? It's November you know..."
Ino took a step forward, ignoring what he had said. "Sasuke, I just wanted to say that, well, I feel there's a strong connection between us...You know at school when it's been so flirty between us recently..."
"It has?" Sasuke said, a look of confusion spreading across his face.
Ino nodded. "Yes, and I just want you to know, that,well I think you're the most amazing wonderful guy I've ever met, and I think we would go perfectly together!"
Ino reached her hand out and brushed some hair out of Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke drew further back. "Whoa, Ino, hey, I think you're really nice and all, but you've got the wrong idea..."
Ino pushed Sasuke up against the door, her hands resting on his chest. "Come on, Sasuke! I know you like me too! Why don't you just come out and admit it.."
Without warning, Ino had forced her lips onto Sasuke's. She closed her eyes. Sasuke squirmed, trying to break free, finally pushing against her shoulders and stopping the kiss. Sasuke glared at Ino.
There was a small, muffled gasp.
Sasuke looked to the right. There, by the front gate, he saw Sakura, her hand over her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears. She turned to the left and ran (well, tried to run) away from the house.
"SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled after her. Ino was still holding onto his shoulders. Shoving Ino off of him, Sasuke scowled at Ino and said "You stay away from me, you little slut!!"
With that, Sasuke ran out of the gate after Sakura, Ino looking stricken and extremely hurt. Had Sasuke just called her a slut?!
"SAKURA! WAIT!" Sasuke yelled, running after her as fast as his legs would carry him, his heart beating a thousand times a minute.
