After Hinata and Naruto briefed Sasuke he announced that he was going to leave and congratulated them on their new family member.
"...Oh, she's not ours…" spoke up Hinata. Sasuke looked to Naruto who nodded. Sasuke felt a little weird that they'd tell him so freely, that their child was adopted.
And as if reading his mind Naruto said "No, not adopted, she belongs to our friend..."
Sasuke decided not to ask any questions then said goodbye and left. When he arrived at his home he felt drained of energy and lay upon his bed. As he let his head drop to the pillow he stared at Sakura's Diary on the pillow in front of him. He reached out and touched it, mentally apologising to Sakura that he didn't come back in time, maybe she was depressed and that's why she sent the urgent letter. Sasuke hated not being there for her and several small specks of tears fell form his eyes. Minutes later he fell asleep and dreamt of her.
"Sasuke! You're finally here…I've missed you so much.." said Sakura as she jumped in Sasuke arms after he knocked on her door. She greeted him with a kiss and ask how he'd been to which he replied "Awful without you". She 'aww'ed and kissed him again. He then knelt down and spoke slowly.
"Haruno Sakura-chan. I've been meaning to ask you this for a while now…Will honour me by giving me your hand in marriage…"
When Sakura heard this, tears started streaming from her eyes and she nodded then shouted out load "YES!! YES UCHIHA SASUKE-KUN, I WILL DEFINETLY MARRY YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"
Sasuke stood up happily and caught Sakura in an embrace. They stood there for a while, letting the news sink in when suddenly everything went black. Sasuke couldn't see, he was engulfed in darkness, then he heard a horrible laugh from his older brother Itachi. Why? What's going on, thought Sasuke. He was so confused. Then Itachi disappeared and Sasuke found himself at the knees of Naruto and the rest of the gang.
"It's his entire fault, we should kill him!" shouted Naruto.
"Yes kill him now" shrieked Ino. All the others yelled in agreement.
"HE KILLED SAKURA SO WE SHOULD KILL HIM!"
"No...I…I didn't mean to!" said Sasuke quietly.
"Just like his brother, Itachi! He's a murderer!"
"No...Wait...I'm nothing like that bastard! I didn't kill her!" said Sasuke a little louder.
"LIAR!" shouted Tenten.
"Was it not you that ignored her letter?" said Neji.
"I, no of course not. I didn't ignore it!" replied Sasuke.
"So you're saying you came back to see what was wrong? What the news was?" asked Kiba, who already knew the answer.
"No, I mean, I couldn't!"
"Because you were busy finding your brother?" snapped Hinata.
"So you let her suffer silently! Therefore you killed her!" shouted Naruto. They all pointed their fingers towards him and shouted murderer and walked around him. Then they all made a Jutsu and aimed their own special attacks a him.
"NO! I LOVED SAKURA!!" yelled Sasuke as he sat up abruptly, panting with cold sweat dripping from his face. The morning sun shone through his window and Sasuke wiped the sweat from his brow. He thought about the dream he had and wondered if they actually did blame him for Sakura's death. He couldn't help but believe them, even if it was a little. He partly blamed himself for not being there, and for what, to kill somebody? He couldn't have sacrificed that one opportunity to save her? He killed Itachi and inevitably killed Sakura at the same time, that's what he felt from the dream.
He reached into the pocket from the clothes that he was still wearing from yesterday and pulled out a little case. He opened it and a shiny ring was placed inside. Sasuke sighed heavily and thought about the things he was thinking before he reached the Village.
Sasuke ran towards Konoha as fast as his legs could manage. He was so excited. This would be the day that he would finally propose to Sakura. He bought the ring from the Moon Village, the place where he and Sakura first made love. The ring even had fragment of moon rock, well that's what the sales assistant said. Sasuke only hoped that Sakura would love the ring, and accept his proposal at that matter. He was so nervous, he was sweating. In his mind he was reciting the words he would use to sway Sakura to say 'yes' but deep down he felt, no, he knew that Sakura truly loved him.
He snapped the lip shut and placed the small case onto his dresser. He peered over and stared at the Diary and picked it up. He flicked through some more pages and found one entitled: My Secret.
Well, I saw Sasuke about a month ago, and he said that he loved me. I can't believe he actually said it! I'd been wishing it for ages and it happened. After he said that we made love under the stars, it was so beautiful. But, now I've found something out. I've just sent Sasuke a letter telling him that I need him here, this is so serious, I need him by my side, and I don't know what to do. I'm only 18 years old for god's sake. I'm so sacred of what Sasuke will say when he finds out. I'm so confused about it all…I need help. Oh god what'll I do…
That was it. Then Sasuke thought that this 'secret' was the thing that Sakura wanted desperately to tell him. The thing is, she didn't say what it was, so how could Sasuke find out what it was? This was horrible, the most important thing that Sakura wanted to tell him was lost, only she herself knew it, and he doubted that Sakura told anyone and so therefore her secret died with her, unless it really was hidden in the pages of her heart, her Diary, somewhere he still hadn't read. He kept turning the pages and sure enough he found it.
Almost everybody knows my secret know; well it's not a secret anymore. It got so big that everybody could see it. Even my mother knows and all my friends and even Tsunade-sama! She said that I can't train until after the birth. Yes, that's my secret. I'm pregnant.
