Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto.

So basically school's been beyond a pain in the ass and now I'm mad because I had a 100 average in history and now I don't anymore, because I got a 90 on a quiz. I cried. Anyways, I had a few spare moments since I didn't have homework today so I decided to grace you with the most wonderful chapter of fine literature.

Sakura was going through a list of things they'd sent over time to their new home in the land of Crescent Moon. If they moved in one giant swoop, then it would certainly look suspicious to any spies Madara may have planted in or around the village. Other than the participants in the moving process, only the Hokage and Kakashi knew of the mission. It wasn't leaked at all to the public, and the Hokage was sure to keep it that way. She said the first person to say a word would have to answer to Ibiki, which was more than enough to keep them on their toes not to run their mouths. Sasuke and Sakura had about everything emptied out of the house, they were even sleeping on a hammock they hung in the master bedroom. The kitchen was next to barren; Sakura went to the store every mealtime to keep from storing food in the house. Eventually an evening or two after everything had been moved, everyone assembled in the Hokage's office. It was established that departure time would be the next morning at "o-five hundred" (5AM).

Ino, Shikamaru, Hinata, Neji, Ten-Ten, Naruto, Lee, Shino, Kiba, Chouji, Sai, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto all met at the city gates of Konoha to bid their farewells. They all stood in silence for nearly half an hour, waiting for the time to strike 5am.

"Sayonara" Naruto whispered quietly as they all leapt up into the trees and started off for a two-day journey to the land of the crescent moon.

"What was this place like?" Sasuke asked with a monotonous voice laced with just a tad of boredom.

Naruto smirked then said, "That's right you weren't there with us!"

"And?"

"So you don't know what happened!"

"That's why you're supposed to tell me…"

Naruto's smirk turned to something resembling a scowl at Sasuke's misconception of his humor, "We basically saved a prince and his son who eventually became king. The land of Crescent Moon is one big resort with beautiful beaches and numerous casinos."

"Sounds awful" Sasuke mumbled not excited in the least.

A resort type country meant tourists constantly, crowded conditions, and loafing around in a resort wasn't what he deemed as fun. Where as he knew the rest of them were looking forward to an indefinite vacation, except for maybe Neji and Shino. The rest of them were loafers as far as Sasuke was concerned.

Camp was made exactly half way towards their destination. Sasuke predicted that they'd be there about this same time tomorrow, however his attention wasn't focused on that, it was on Sakura. She was exhausted and he'd carried her half of the way because she kept lagging behind. Everyone was sure that she was sick with something that was just affecting her temporarily. Ino made some medicinal tea for her to drink that would help her sleep better and make her feel, hopefully, more rested tomorrow. After Ino left the tent in which Sakura was fast asleep, Sasuke stood in front of the blond with his arms crossed and an expression of concern and annoyance on his face.

"I think she's pregnant." Sasuke grunted looking off into the distance to his left.

Ino shrugged, she was thinking that too, but it was still too early to tell. It was a miracle Ino was able to tell what it was last time. They both just decided that they'd leave it alone and let Sasuke carry her for the rest of the journey, he didn't particularly mind since Naruto offered to carry his bag since he was carrying the pinkette. No one else really had any ideas about what was wrong with her except for those two anyway.

Sasuke crept inside the tent with Sakura after he'd finished his conversation with Ino. He couldn't help but carefully watch Sakura with his Sharingan in an attempt to discover any kind of truth behind her illness. After seeing her still and sleeping form unchanged for several minutes he gave up and lied down next to her. It was no surprise that in her sleep she sensed the source of heat next to her and tossed herself on her side facing him, swinging her arm over his chest and one of her legs over his. Sasuke smirked with his hands behind his head staring at the ceiling of the tent. Tomorrow he'd be in his new 'indefinite' home. It was established that communication would only take place between Tsunade and Sasuke, in order to avoid confusion. Sasuke kept wondering about the land of Crescent Moon. He'd only been there once, and considering his old rouge ninja circumstances, he didn't like it too much.

Bright and early the next morning they were all on their feet before the sun rose, of course Sakura was the last to rise, throwing up on her way out of the tent. Sasuke just quirked a brow at her awful symptoms. It was just like last time, except no one was able to tell, he couldn't even see with his Sharingan. The only way he'd ever find out is if he made her see a doctor, but he wasn't going to tell her that and get her hopes up about possibly being pregnant.

"My pills!" Sakura screeched as she shuffled through her backpack to find them, but to no avail.

Sasuke looked over his shoulder grunting, "You don't need them."

"Of course I do!" She shouted, "What am I going to do without them?"

Sasuke had a pulsing vain on his forehead he couldn't take too terribly much more of this, "You shouldn't take them while your sick anyway, I can always have Tsunade send you some more…."

Sasuke used that as a cover up since he was the one who actually took her pills. He didn't want them harming what could possibly be inside her, it wouldn't do her any harm not to take them anyway, so he didn't see any reasons why not.

As everyone lined up Sasuke handed his bag to Naruto and the blond nonchalantly carried it with his own then Sasuke walked over to the pinkette and squatted in front of her with his arms behind him.

"Get on" he coolly mumbled.

Sakura crossed her arms scowling as she seethed, "I don't need to be babied the whole way there I'm fine."

Sasuke growled in frustration then activated his Sharingan and the blades started spinning. He looked over his shoulder right into her eyes and Sakura immediately collapsed onto his back.

"She should be out a while…" he said emotionlessly as he stood up and started walking up to the others.

Everyone was wide eyed at Sasuke's actions, since you normally don't use an incapacitating jutsu on an ally.

"W-was that r-really necessary?..." Hinata stuttered in slight fear of the Uchiha's warped disgression.

The raven haired man shrugged as he stated, "If I hadn't we'd still be standing here fighting, besides, it doesn't hurt her, I promise."

Everyone just looked at each other and huffed before jumping into the trees following him on the way to the land of Crescent Moon. It was a rather silent journey on the way there other than Sakura's occasional murmuring in her sleep. Ino was really nervous of Sasuke possibly harming Sakura's hypothetical unborn child by knocking her out like that, but Ino knew that he was right, she would've tried to go the rest of the way there on her own energy and that was potentially even more dangerous. She could pass out on the way there and misstep and fall and severely hurt herself. Although Ino knew she was just overanalyzing everything and let her mind wander to endless days on golden sun and sand with pochinko constantly at her disposal. She almost lost her footing thinking about it. Everyone else was almost the same way and Sasuke rolled his eyes at the loafers, Neji, Shikamaru, and Shino did much of the same with their huffs of annoyance at everyone else.

Once the group arrived there it was around dinnertime, and Sasuke already knew where their house was, he'd seen it in pictures that the realtors had sent him. It was the third biggest house on the whole damn island. Though it was supposed to be a stealth mission and stay hidden Sasuke was used to living in large, luxury houses, so he didn't want anything less. He could've gotten the second largest house, but Tsunade told him to dial it down a notch since spies would be looking for an Uchiha, a family of wealth.

Sasuke found the house in perfect order when he walked in, and he set Sakura down on the upstairs bed and closed the curtains to cover the light coming in from the windows behind the bed's headboard then left.

The other's were meeting at the citizen's registration desk in order to receive their new ID's as resident's of Crescent Moon. Sasuke skipped to the front of the line like his arrogant self in front of all his teammates to a counter that said "reservations."

He walked up to the lady and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Haruno please."

The lady shuffled through some papers and pulled out two licenses and handed them to Sasuke saying, "Thank you and have a nice day."

Sasuke nodded and took the cards then walked away while everyone else left their mouths open to the ground.

"You didn't check and submit ID info before we left? For shame." Sasuke said sardonically then walked away back towards the house.

He wasn't very keen on leaving Sakura by herself for very long since she was due to wake up and minute.

Sasuke walked into the house to find the pinkette still passed out on the bed and started to worry that he used too much force in knocking her out. He decided that he'd go ahead and bathe her so he discarded her cloths into the laundry hamper and picked her up carefully and set her into the cold empty tub then turned the faucet and let warm water fill the tub slowly. He turned it off once it was full and then leaned back against the cupboards by the bath with on leg bent and one strait with his arms crossed. Eventually he felt the pains of exhaustion for lack of sleep the night before due to Sakura's condition. He'd wait for her to wake up then take her to the doctor. What he didn't expect was, he'd fallen asleep.

Sakura awoke slowly surrounded by warmth, what she wasn't ready for was surroundings completely different from what she was used to. She eventually figured out that it was their knew home and not some foreign place, due to the fact that Sasuke was surprisingly sound asleep right near the bathtub. She wasn't sure about what she should do, but she decided the first thing in order was to wake Sasuke up. She gently took her arm out of the warm water and placed her hand on Sasuke's leg slightly shaking him. She soon realized it was a mistake. He immediately woke with a start and had, on protective impulse, pulled her out of the tub and hovered over her but then breathed a sigh at the realization that it was only Sakura.

"Oh good" he said, "You're awake. Now we can go to the doctor."

"The doctor?" she asked almost in disgust, "I am a doctor!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes before retorting, "Oh really? Then what's the diagnosis, doctor?"

He said the word "doctor" with almost an undertone of malice. Sakura picked up easily on the sarcasm and made her way towards the bathroom door.

"You might want a towel" he told her dangling it in her face.

Sakura scoffed before saying, "Please! I'm in my own home. I couldn't care less."

However as soon as she opened the door she ate those words. Because low and behold, sitting on the foot of the bed, was a red-faced Naruto. Sakura shrieked and slammed the bathroom door Her fists were clenched at her sides and she couldn't even muster the nerve to turn around and look at the Uchiha.

"I told you so" came his daring sarcastic tone.

"Give it" she hissed harshly as she whipped around and swung her arm for the towel.

"You're slow" he teased her, not letting her get close to the towel.

Sakura let out a growl of frustration before snapping, "and you're just a jerk!"

Sasuke stopped and scowled at her before saying, "Agree to go to the doctor's with me and you can have the towel."

"Whatever" she grumbled as she swiped the absorbent material out of the raven-haired man's hands.

Sasuke smirked triumphantly as Sakura wrapped the towel around her. By the time the two walked into the bedroom Naruto was sputtering excuses, but Sasuke just waved his hand, it was mostly Sakura's fault. Sasuke and Naruto were about to leave the room when Sasuke turned to look over his shoulder.

"Be sure to dye your hair before I get back. Pink hair is rather easy to spot. We don't want to be attracting unwanted attention."

Sakura rolled her eyes. She didn't even know what color to dye it. She wasn't going to dye it black because it would look completely unnatural on her due to her brighter colored, emerald eyes. God she needed Ino. Sakura then realized that Ino was just down the street. Sakura quickly got dressed in a pair of jean shorts and a sleeveless green hoodie and pulled it up over her head to hide her pink hair. She then walked over to Ino's house and knocked on the front door. It wasn't until several minutes later that Ino finally came to the door. Sakura invited herself in as was usual between the two girls and Sakura proceeded to take her hood down from her head.

"Why did you walk over here like that?" Ino asked with a quirked brow clearly referring to Sakura's behavior walking over with a hood over her head.

Sakura huffed then explained, "Sasuke wants me to dye my hair, because pink hair is too conspicuous…"

Ino smirked, "I had a feeling he'd say that…"

Ino led Sakura up to her bathroom and shuffled through some of her cabinets before she pulled out a box that had an orange stripe on it. Sakura simply quirked a brow in curiosity.

"I ran to the store today to shop for some hair dye myself, but then I realized how many blonds were here anyway and they were, so there's no need for me to buy any, but then I thought of you. You're pink hair's even a spectacle in our own village, so I went ahead and bought dye that was your color. Your in luck, the dye here keeps your roots from showing for up to a year! Isn't that fantastic?"

Sakura smiled and sat on Ino's bathroom counter facing the mirror so Ino had access to the girl's tresses.

"You sure I'll look good with orange hair?" Sakura asked skeptically as Ino prepaired all the contents in the box to dye her hair.

Ino replied, "Well it would certainly look natural with your green eyes, as long as we do your eyebrows among other things…"

Sakura smiled sheepishly knowing that her curtains were going to have to match the drapes. She wasn't too thrilled about having to do that, but considering it was Ino, well Sakura didn't' mind too terribly much. Her friend treated beauty treatments with a professional attitude.

Sasuke returned from his trip with Naruto to the market. Helping out a blond idiot do his grocery shopping was more of a chore than Sasuke had expected it to be. But as long as the dobe had food, Sasuke was sure to not have him knocking on his door with an empty stomach. Personally, Sasuke didn't want anyone to bug him in Sakura. If he could've planned the mission his own way, he would have never let any of the others come alone in the first place, but he knew that would just make Sakura utterly miserable. He scanned the house, but he couldn't find her anywhere. He wasn't freaked out or anything, but it was slightly concerning him since he didn't know if she'd dyed her hair first. Being spotted by spies was the last thing the Uchiha wanted to deal with. His rising suspicions were quelled when he found a stick note on the bedroom mirror.

I don't know what to do with my hair.

Gone to Ino's for help.

I'll be back later.

Sasuke growled in frustration. He didn't have time for this. He had already made a clinic appointment for her in town to see a doctor on the premises of a physical to asses her health, but in actuality it was a pregnancy screening. The doctor was sure to be stealthy about it since Sasuke bribed him to be. In the land of moon it wasn't exactly gender equal, husbands and men were allowed to pull things over their wife's heads all the time. Not that it made him feel any better that he was deceiving her after they'd made a promise to each other not to. Sasuke locked the door behind him when he left the house in his jeans and white t-shirt, heading for Ino's. He reached the front door and to his surprise it was Shikamaru who answered.

"What do you want?" Shikamaru asked in his usual annoyed tone towards anyone.

Sasuke simply let himself in looking around from where he stood then asked, "Where's Sakura?"

Shikamaru closed the door grumbling about the Uchiha's arrogant behavior then mumbled, "I think they're upstairs doing something…"

Sasuke didn't even thank Shikamaru as he made his way up the stairs to the master bedroom. He walked and then realized that there was no one in the room, but as he stood there he heard giggled and grumbled and squeaks of pain as well. He raised a brow and walked over to the door, but when he tried to open it the handle wouldn't turn.

"Don't come in!" Shouted Ino who thought that it was Shikamaru, "We're still working in here!"

"Working on what?" came Sasuke's indignant voice.

Suddenly all noise ceased and you could feel the tension of the other girls on the other side of the door.

"Stuff…" Ino repeated nervously.

Sasuke rolled his eyes then said, "Dying her hair isn't a big deal just let me in…"

Ino huffed then retorted in her sassy tone, "If we're going to make this look natural hun, we're going to dye more than just the hair on her head…"

Sasuke tensed up at that remark and then realized why the door was closed. He just let out an agitated sigh before giving up and sitting on the foot of the bed by the door. Their bedroom had a higher ceiling than his and Sakura's, but it made it feel emptier as well. He took note of almost every little detail in the room before he finally heard a hair drying start to ring in the bathroom. About fifteen minutes later Sakura emerged from the bathroom. Sasuke could've mistaken her for someone else. Her hair was not only orange, but had big, bouncy, loose curls.

"I present to you" Ino spoke in her announcer voice, "A new woman!"

Sasuke just kept staring at Sakura not noticing her becoming more nervous by the second.

"Stop it…" she grumbled looking down with her cheeks tinted a soft pink, "You're making me feel awkward."

Sasuke let out a "che" then walked up to her and looked her strait in the eye, "I like your pink hair better" Sakura looked back down at the floor to conceal her pooling eyes, "But It's about the next best color I could've picked for you. It's unique, but not bizarre."

Sakura picked her head up a little, but still didn't look the Uchiha strait in the eye. Sasuke simply took her arm and started guiding her to the door with her curls bobbing with ever step down the stairs she took.

"It's time to go see the doctor. We're already late." Came his usual monotonous voice.

Sakura just rolled her eyes then asked, "What did you make some kind of appointment you worry wart."

"Yes" came his blunt reply as they walked down the street towards the middle of town.

It was about a thirty-minute walk. The land of Crescent Moon was a huge, city. It didn't surprise her since it was such a huge tourist attraction. What did surprise her was the urgency with which she was ushered to one of the rooms of the clinics as soon as she entered the doors.

"Is there something wrong with me?" She asked Sasuke as two men took her arms and led her to the back, "What's going on!" she shouted struggling, but in vain.

It's not like she could use her ninja strength here, it would completely blow their cover.

"Mr. Haruno" said one of the doctors, "A word please."

Hope you like this! It took me an entire weekend to come up with the ideas! I know how I want to end this story, but fabricating the road map to get there is one of the hardest parts of it all. I hope you don't mind! To make up for it I did make it a little longer, (about 3,500 words).

PLEASE REMEMBER TO REVIEW! ^(^0^)^

WOOT FACE*

Love you all! You are my drive to write!
