.Chapter Five.

Do you know how long I've been waiting to say that to him, Sasuke-kun? Sakura thought, smiling. I missed you more then anything. I'm so glad you've come home...

Shai looked down at his feet and muttered a quiet sorry.

Sasuke picked him up and held his hand. "It's ok Shai." He said, hugging him.

Shai smiled and then hugged her back.

"Uncle Naruto!" He said smirking slightly and running over to the window.

Naruto stepped down and smirked. "I knew when ANBU caught Itachi fleeing the village I'd find you here." He said, walking over to Sasuke and Sakura.

Sasuke bumped knuckles with him and then smirked. "You knew he was mine?" He asked.

Naruto nodded. "You know I did."

The house shook violently before anyone could respond and Naruto picked up Shai. "What the hell was that?" He asked, looking around.

Sasuke jumped up and picked up his shirt as the house shook once more. He picked up his sword and then ran to the window.

"It's akatsuki." He said, sighing. "You three stay here. I can handle this myself."

"Sasuke.." Sakura said. "Take–"

"No..." Sasuke half yelled at her. "This is my life goal, and my dream, not Naruto's. I need to do this alone." And with that comment, he had taken off on the wind.

.End Chapter Five.

Sasuke ran off into the woods and caught sight of an Akatsuki member he had never encountered. He had fought the one with all the creepy mouths, Itachi of course, had seen Kisame, the weirdo in the orange mask, but this guy? Damn.. He looked like a giant tree, someone who would be call himself Mr. Twig or Sir Branch. (Fun with Akatsuki) Sasuke moved closer to him and then his eyes widened.

He was like a giant pineapple and/or tree. Sasuke sighed. Of course it's the freak right? He moved towards them and then smirked to himself. He was in a better mood. He was going to get to kick some ass and then go and find Itachi and finish him off. Surely this guy would spill the Akatsuki whereabouts.

Sasuke ran closer to him and then kicked him backwards, he as Sasuke thought, was top heavy and soon fell backwards. He smirked to himself and then pulled out his sword and pressed the cold blade against the 'man's' throat.

"Where is Itachi!?" he demanded.

"No idea..." Zetsu answered.

Sasuke's now red eyes narrowed. "You won't get out of his alive if you don't tell me where Itachi is..."

Sakura was pacing. "Naruto... go after Sasuke..." She pleaded. "I need you to make sure he's ok. He's still hurt, I didn't have enough chakra to fully heal the extent of all his injuries." She told him.

Naruto sighed. "Sakura he'll just get mad at me... He wants to kill Itachi on his own and I know why and so do you. We have no right to rob him of that..." He told her simply, not wanting to have to fight against Sasuke like he had to so many years before.

Shai grabbed Naruto's pants and pulled them gently. "Uncle!" He whined. "Daddy just came back, I don't want him to go away!" he said, looking up at him pleadingly.

"Please go and help him?" The small five year old boy asked. "Pretty please?"

Naruto smiled at Shai. "I'll bring your dad back, Dattebayo!" He said, smirking at her smirking slightly. He looked over at Sakura and sighed slightly.

"I will bring him back, but I expect and explanation when I do." He said, jumping out the broken window and running after Sasuke.

Zetsu smirked. "You wish Uchiha." He said, punching him in the stomach and then kicking him where Itachi had stabbed him with his own sword.

He faded into the ground quickly and was gone as quickly as he came. Sasuke looked around, slightly panicked. Where would be come out? He picked up his sword and looked around, slightly put off; a bit afraid even.

He sighed and then heard something coming from behind him. He wiped around, slammed it into a tree and putt he sword against it.

"Sa-Sasuke! It's me!" Naruto croaked. "Calm down.. I came to help you."

Sasuke let him go. "I don't want help.. Itachi is mine to kill. Got that, mine!"

Naruto sighed. "I know that... I just wanted to help you..." He said, looking at him. "We're still friends right?"

"If you can call us friends." Sasuke said, turning towards him and then bumping knuckles with him and sighing.

"Fine you can help me." Sasuke told him. "I'm looking for a plant..."

"Sasuke did you get hit in the head? Hard?" Naruto asked, knowing Sasuke couldn't be serious.

"He looks like a plant, baka!" Sasuke said about to blow on him. "He had this green shit coming from his shoulders.. And it goes up over his head." He said, looking around.

"He has to be around here somewhere..."

Naruto started to look around with Sasuke. "He's gone, I don't sense any chakra do you?" he asked.

"No.." Sasuke said, defeated. "Let's go back to Sakura."

Naruto smirked. "Good because you have a lot of explaining to do."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow as he slid his sword back into it's sheath. "Oh really?" He asked. "About what?"

"About you and Sakura, and Shai..." Naruto answered as if it was obvious. "Where you even there when he was born?"

Sasuke was silent.

"Sasuke?"

"No..." Sasuke admitted after another long silence. "I didn't even know I had a son until a short time ago..." His face was wretched with guilt. He had honestly had no idea. He thought because Sakura was a medical ninja that she would have taken some kind of precaution to avoid pregnancy.

Sasuke had honestly had no idea that the night he had with Sakura five years ago had led to a child. He hadn't been able to sneak away to see her, or to do anything to communicate with her. He sighed slightly and then looked up at the deep midnight sky.

"Hey Naruto...?"

"What?" the blonde questioned.

"How long have you known Shai was mine?" Sasuke asked, not able to look at the man he once called his best friend.

"When his hair grew out and spiked like yours. I'm not the only one who knows, he looks just like you did when you were small." Naruto told him with a slight smile, looking over at the man he missed more then anything.

"You think he hates me?" Sasuke asked, having been wondering about it since he found out he had a son - after all, he was never there for the kid.

Naruto shook his head, sending whips of blonde hair all over his face and into his eyes. He had grown it out slightly, making him look more like his father.

"I know he loves you Deidara, he asks about you all the time." the sun flower yellow haired ninja told him.

Sasuke smiled for the first time in a while. "Thanks Naruto." He said, looking over at him finally and bumping knuckles with him.

Looking back at the path in front of them Sasuke felt much better. He walked in equal strides with Naruto and looked at the Haruno Estate's main house as it came into view. He felt slightly discouraged at his remembrance of how he find out about Shai.

"Sasuke..." Came Itachi's cold voice from behind Karin, he had her pinned against the wall, her hands bound behind her, Itachi holding them in one hand.

"Let her go..." Sasuke said darkly, starting to get annoyed. Itachi had been playing games with them for what seemed like hours, running around, hiding, capturing them in illusions, using Mangekyou Sharingan, and other such ways of annoyance.

"Sasuke-kun..." Karin whined, clearing in pain as Itachi twisted her arm backwards more and she cried out in pain.

"Sasuke-kun! Do something!" She demanded.

Sasuke ran forward and drove the cold steal of his blade into Itachi's side, nicking him and causing blood to start to bleed over his black cloak.

"Interesting little brother... You have the one and Konoha and this one?" Itachi sneered.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked darkly. He hated Karin with a passion, he just knew he needed her, at least for the time being.

"The pink haired Kunoichi.." Itachi said simply. "You knocked her up, or at least that's what I hear."

Sasuke dropped his sword, "Wh-What..?!"

Itachi sneared at him. He was so enjoying this. Seems his own brother was so loose in what he did with woman he had no idea he had passed on his seed to another generation of Uchiha blood.

"Do I need to kill them to make you focus?" Itachi asked, walking towards him, letting go of Karin. She was annoying him and was no longer entertaining.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "You touch her I'll kill you..."

"Like you have so many times before?" Itachi asked, pointing at Sasuke, who was cut and bleeding. He had several wounds and had lived through Itachi's torture reality twice now.

Sasuke ran froward towards him and punched him in the face. It's true what he heard. Itachi was blind without sharingan, which had faded away for a moment.

Sasuke sighed slightly as they walked back inside the house, Sakura and Shai were sitting in the living room waiting, Sakura was pacing and Shai was flipping through the channels, but there was nothing he wanted to watch - it was too late at night. He sighed and when he saw Sasuke, he jumped up and ran over to him.

"Daddy!" He said, reaching up.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakura questioningly, as if asking, "What does he want?"

Sakura sighed and mouthed the words, "Pick him up."

Sasuke nodded and bent down, picking up the small boy and holding him against his chest. "Hey Shai." He said, smirking slightly. He had a child to succeed him, to be his heir. He was more then happy about that. He ruffled the small boy's raven hair.

Shai smiled up at his father and Sakura suddenly ran over to Sasuke and hugged him. "I missed you so much..."

Naruto groaned. "Come on! Someone explain to me how this happened!" he said, aloud, starting to get really annoyed.

.Six Years Prior.

"I was just... dreaming about..." She stammered, looking for an excuse. Had he been awake the whole time? She wondered.

Sasuke moved closer to her. "About me?" He asked.

Sakura looked over at him and then sighed. "Yes..." She admitted. "But it was nothing bad I just.. I missed you, Sasuke-kun. And now that you're back.. I..."

Sasuke put his hands on her lips and stopped her from talking. He shhed her and then leaned forward, moving his fingers and replacing them with his own lips.

Sakura's eyes grew wide as Sasuke's warm lips pressed against her own. She looked at him, wide eyed, but she had to admit, this is what she had always wanted. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. She was in a really good mood now. She blushed slightly. She was really happy now.

Sasuke opened his mouth into the kiss and ran his tongue over Sakura's glossed lips. he heard her gasp slightly in shock, but all the same, she opened her mouth and allowed him passage into it. His tongue connected with hers and he pushed against it with a bit of force.

Sakura pushed her tongue against his. She was in an even better mood now. Something banged and Sasuke pulled back, breaking the kiss. Sakura looked over at him, slightly depressed by that fact. She didn't want him to stop.

"Did you hear that?" He asked.

Sakura nodded. She didn't want to seem desperate. She put her hand on Sasuke's neck and pulled him towards her.

"It was probably nothing..." She said, smiling at him. "Really."

Sasuke didn't buy it. "I'll be right back." He said, standing up, ruining the moment and walking out of the living room and down the hallway.

Sakura sighed and got up, going after him. "Sasuke-kun?" She asked, smiling at him. "Are you sure you heard something?"

"Did you?" He asked.

"Yes, but..." She started.

Sasuke stopped her. He turned and looked at her, and then a smile came over his face. He laughed for a moment and then said:

"Ok.. I get it." He said, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her once more, pressing her against the wall. He put his hands in the curves of her sides and then trailed them down slightly, holding her hips closer to him.

Sakura smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. He wasn't stupid. He knew that she wanted him, and at the moment, his entire body was lusting for her. Maybe it was becuase he was a 17 year old virgin, but either way, he wanted her.

Sakura had no idea of Sasuke's intentions, all she knew was the bliss of his kisses. He was an amazing kisser, and Sakura was starting to wonder if he had done it before, she doubted it because he was so set on killing Itachi, but then why was he kissing her now? She shrugged it off and let it go. She didn't care why he was doing it, it just meant so much to her that he was.

He broke the kiss not too long afterward and walked off. "I want to see what that noise was." He said, walking off with her.

Sakura smiled, not minding going with him now. She took his hand, but she was starting to lust for him, just like how he was lusting for her.

Sasuke continued down the hall and found that the snow and wind had broken one of the window. He sighed and got something to fix it and then within another ten minutes it was good as new. He walked back over to Sakura. "I'm going to take a shower." He said, kissing her cheek.

Sakura watched him off and a thought occurred to her. Sasuke was going to be naked. With hot water streaming down his body. She smirked and walked after him.

"I should take one too.." She said, blushing slightly and looking away from him.

Sasuke raised a raven eyebrow and then wrapped his arms around her waist. "You want to take one with me?" He asked, smirking slightly, kissing her neck. He was slightly confused as to why he was being so affectionate to her, but all the same, he wanted her. It was probably nothing, just a lust he felt that he wanted to get rid of his own virginity before killing his brother, as if in the act of losing it he would become much stronger.

Sakura's face illuminated in a dark crimson blush. "Sa-Sasuke-kun!?" She asked. Was he serious, or was he just teasing her.

She felt a warm presence on her neck. It was wet and smooth, and she immediately recognized what it was; Sasuke's tongue. Goose bumps illuminated on her body and the blush just grew darker as he ran his tongue over her smooth skin. He smiled as she did so, and she coudl feel his lips pull tight.

"You heard me." He said, smiling at her. "Take a shower with me." He said, taking her by the hands and leading her backwards.

"Please?" he asked, with a devious smile.

Sakura was unsure of what to say. Sure she wanted to, but what if it lead to something else? She was almost 18, becuase she was five months older then Sasuke, but.. At the same time, she wanted to wait until she was married to give herself away to a man, but with Sasuke... it was a once in a lifetime thing, and she knew it.

She bit her lip. "Sa-Sasuke-kun?" She asked once more, unsure of how to respond to his question.

"I thought you thought I was annoying?" She asked, looking into his eyes.

Sasuke sighed ands topping kissing her. "Sakura... if you doubt me, then just say no." He said, letting her go. He walked out of the room and down the hallway into the bathroom. He pulled off his cloths and then leaned into the shower and turned on the water of the stand up shower. He opened the glass door as the shower and bathroom started to steam up.

He stepped inside and closed his eyes, feeling the water rinse over his toned and taunt skin. He smirked slightly as he leaned against the glass wall of the shower with his back, letting the water rinse over his chest and abdomen.

Sakura sighed and sat down on the couch thinking. She had no idea what to do now... She had a chance to see her Sasuke-kun naked, and what did she do?! She passed it up! She might as well of smacked him in the face for asking!

She walked out and then went to the bathroom. She stared at the door for a few moments and then bit her lip. What was she thinking exactly, even she herself didn't know too well. She looked at the door, then down the hall to the living room where she had been waiting.

She had a fantasy of stripping herself naked and getting into Sasuke's bed waiting for him, but that was too slutty for her own tastes. That seemed like something someone else would do, not her.

She sighed and then looked up at the door once more. She put her ear on it to listen and heard the sound of water hitting a human body. She worked in the hospital too much. He sighed and then looked up at the ceiling and closed, her eyes, making a decision.

She opened the bathroom door silently and then hid behind a tall rack that held towels. She closed her eyes when she saw him turn, but it was clear that he couldn't see her at all. She sighed and started to unzip her shirt. She smiled slightly at the thought of being wet and close to him.

But then again, what if he didn't want her. She let her red shirt fall to the floor and then removed the braces on her elbows. She closed her eyes and then looked up at the sky. She blinked a few times and then ran her hands down her waist and removed the pink skirt, followed by her black shorts and then looked down. She was now in her bra, under shirt and panties. She could still turn back, but in all honesty, she didn't want to.

She removed her shirt and bra and then pulled her panties down her body and let them fall to the floor. She stepped out of them and gently closed her eyes. She let out a small almost inaudible sigh and walked towards the shower.

Sasuke didn't turn and was rinsing shampoo out of his hair and didn't seem to be noticing her presence. He sighed slightly and leaned forward, away from her. She opened the door with a small suction noise and as he turned she wrapped her arms around him and kissing his lips gently.

His eyes grew wide. He had never expected Sakura to do something kinky like this. Maybe Ino, or even Karin, (not to say she hadn't tried before) but come on, Sakura? She was too good for it, and she wanted to wait until she was married.

Sasuke kissed her back and wrapped his arms around her bare and now wet waist. He was in a really good mood now. The girl he had been lusting for was naked and in his shower kissing him.

Sakura's eyes closed and she started to kiss the lips of the man she loved with a bit more force, pushing into him and wrapping her arms around her neck and back, stroking the muscles in his back and chest.

Sasuke put his hand on her jaw of the right side of her face and pulled her into him, kissing her with more and more passion then before. He had a smile on his face and just looked at her when the kiss broke suddenly.

"You're beautiful..." he told her.

"You're amazing." She responded returning his kiss and wrapping her arms around him.

Sasuke returned all of her passion and then some, letting his hips rest against hers as he kissed her. His eyes closed and he held her closed and ran his tongue over her smooth and glossed lips.

A/n: yes Chapter 6 of His Father's strength. Not too much Shai I know, but it's mainly what happened between the pulled apart couple! Don't worry Zetsu and Itachi will be returning soon and I MUST say this:

The next chapter WILL have LEMON!!!
