Alright I'm very sorry you guys for not updating sooner, but I got busy and I didn't have internet at home for a while and so I haven't really been able to update anything, check emails or even RP or anything for a while now.
But the issue has been resolved now and I bring to you the next chapter of My Baby's Daddy.
Now, I would like to remind you all that while Sakura is acting like a little girl and not mature enough for her current state, take into consideration that when I wrote this down I was 16, and portrayed Sakura to be the same age. And also, her attitude is one hundred percent the genuine reactions I had during my first pregnancy all these years ago, and though while I had a minor case of Anemia which I over came shortly after I got it, the term Placenta Preavia, is something a dear friend of mine experienced in her most recent pregnancy.
And I also haven't been able to edit this chapter because of her, I've been worried about her for the last two months she's been hospitalized because Placenta Preavia is a sure high risk pregnancy and she needed to have surgery, and now her baby was born and I've been trying to see her but I get lost because I have no sense of direction
Also I have to be a little honest with you guys, while when I originally wrote this I was a hard core SasuSaku lover, I grew out of that stage and started to Ship SakuGaraa and ItaSaku and I've been killing off Sasuke for being a disgrace for Emos everywhere (xD), so if while I rewrite this it has hints of Itasaku I apologize in advance.
Disclaimer: I own a map which I have not opened since…. 2008, but not the rights to Naruto. I'm sure I will come by a proper sense of direction before I ever come close to getting a share fo the rights of Naruto.
Her heart raced; each second that passed he got closer and closer to her. "Sakura, Sakura are you alright?" a worried blonde ninja asked.
"N-Naruto, Sasuke's here, what am I going to do he'll, he'll see me!" she said in a rush of panic.
Naruto's eyes widened and then seriousness covered his featured. "Sakura, I need you to calm down, remember what you told me Tsunade told you, she'll have your head and mine if you have a panic attack right here and now." he reminded.
Sakura nodded and tried to breath, but she wasn't calming down. "Naruto, it's no use, we have to leave, please, I don't want him to know, and if we stay here, he'' be bound to notice!" Her eyes stared pleadingly into his.
"Sakura calm down, I can't take you anywhere while you're like this, look you're wearing a long dress and it has horizontal stripes in it, didn't Ino say those make girls look skinnier? And the wind isn't really blowing in our direction, so if we remain seated, in opposite direction from the wind, and don't draw attention to us, maybe he won't notice." he suggested, looking back at the approaching figure of Sasuke that was still quite a few ways away.
Sakura nodded slowly, it was true and it made sense. When had Naruto become so smart? she thought to herself.
"Why don't you meditate with me, to get our catras together and calm down and what not?" he suggested.
'Catras?' I guess the smarts only come to him in dire moments of need. Sakura thought.
Nodding she crossed her legs in front of her and put her hands together and concentrated on leveling her Chakras.
Finally he reached them. "Oh look, the star crossed lovers are having a nice little romantic picnic." he droned.
Sakura tried to ignore him and kept her concentration. "We're training Sasuke, leave us alone." Naruto said looking at him.
"Hn. Likely story is that why you brought books and snacks?" he asked.
"Are we not allowed to take breaks from training and eat?"
Sakura asked with closed eyes.
Sasuke frowned and narrowed his eyes. "If you're training then how come neither of you have weapons on you?" he asked. "And why are you dressed like a civilian Sakura, not even wearing your headband I see." he noted
"Naruto, I think this place isn't good enough for training anymore, we should leave." she said with a sigh, finally opening her eyes to look at the blonde, but continued to ignore the Raven haired man standing beside them.
Naruto looked at the two warily as he stood; Sakura gathered her things and slung her bag over her shoulder. Naruto held out his hand for her to take and help her up and she took it, allowing him to hoist her up.
She led them away from the Uchiha, leaving him standing alone in the middle of a field with a deadly look in his face.
"Naruto, why don't you head home, or go to the girl's apartment and wait for me, I'll be there in a while." she suggested.
"Are you sure Sakura, what if he comes back and looks for trouble?" the Blonde asked.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "I'm pretty sure I can take care of myself." she assured.
Naruto was a bit reluctant to leave, but Sakura eventually persuaded him into leaving, telling him that all she wanted to do was some very brief and safe exercises before she headed home for a nap and shower before joining the girls and him for dinner.
Once Naruto was out of sight and hearing range Sakura turned around and threaded deep into the trees till she found a small training field, the old Team Seven Training Field.
She smiled, not having been here in so long. She slipped off her shoes and moaned when her feet came in contact with the cool grass, curling her toes around it as it sent a shiver up her spine with the sensation. The cool grass soothing her swollen and aching feet
She walked over to a small Tree Trunk, which was cut in half and had a sort of cushion wrapped around it. She stood in front of it and set her bag down before stretching briefly.
Inside of her, her child moved and she smiled. "I know, I know, I shouldn't be doing this, but..." she sighed again. "Just this once alright." she spoke to her child and began punching the trunk, without the use of chakra so she should break it and leave notice that she had been there.
She lost herself in the moment, and didn't notice she was being watched, she didn't even sense the chakra since it appeared to be cloaked.
Finally after about an hour she stopped and tried to regain her breath a hand over her swelling stomach as she slouched. "Well I'm beat." she announced and grabbed her bag before straightening up and turning around.
She was then slammed forcefully up against the trunk, her arms being gripped tightly by a furious looking raven aired Uchiha
"Sasuke what the Hell is your problem, let go of Me." she snapped as she tried to free herself from his grasp.
"Shut up." he spat. "Do you think you're too good for me now little Sakura?" he asked.
"What the hell are you talking about, let me go!" she yelled.
"What, did you get bored with me now that I gave you the little fuck that you've been wanting so badly since we were 13?" he asked. "Are you after Naruto now?" he asked.
A Shuriken flew between them, and silence took over for a moment after Sasuke took step back and away from her as he looked at the shuriken and then turned in the direction of which it had come from.
Sakura took advantage of that and slapped him straight in the face, ignoring the sharp pain she was feeling at the nape of her neck, very close to her ear.
"If you ever come near me again, I'll kill you." she said. "I'm not scared of you, never have been, never will be." she told him before getting her bag once more and turning to leave again.
Sasuke's fingers reached out towards the kunai that lay stabbed to the ground and grabbed the handle before sharply pulling the kunai out.
"Is that why you're running away from me?" he drawled as he spun the shuriken in his hands. "Is that why you have others hidden in the bushes to protect you?" he questioned.
Sakura paled and her breath hitched. "I'm not running away from you, you're not good enough for me to run away from you, and I have no one hidden in the tree for me, I can take care of myself." she snapped and then held back a gasp as another sharp pain hit her, this time right above her scar.
The color seemed to drain from her face as the sudden realization of who it could have been to throw the shuriken hit her, like a ton of bricks. Her stomach turned and she felt sick to her stomach with fear. Her pulse quickened.
His eyes met hers which seemed oddly strange and he raised a brow, suddenly looking slightly perturbed by her sudden change. Her skin seemed a lot paler than it had been a few seconds ago, and she seemed to be in some sort of pain.
"You should go to the hospital if you're sick." he said flatly, almost sounding mad, as he made a step towards her. Sakura's eyes widened and she took a step backwards, away from him, the movement causing her to feel light headed.
"Stop being stubborn Haruno, big a prick as i am, I can see when someone is sick." he snapped as he made another grab for her.
The her head swirled, it was all too much, Sasuke being here, attacking her for something she said, someone protecting her from the bushes, the sharp pain in her head, originating from the scar, her mind swirled as she tried to ignore that he might have been there.
She suddenly felt light headed, weak, exhausted and dizzy. And she swayed in her spot. "Sakura?" Sasuke spoke, authentically sounding worried, for her.
She couldn't stop herself from losing her balance, but before she fell to the floor two pairs of arms wrapped themselves around her. "Sakura, are you alright what happened?" Kakashi sensei asked.
"Ka-Kakashi Sensei." she breathed.
"She's not safe out in the open anymore, we need to get her back to the apartment." Iruka said, as he was the second person with Kakashi.
"Would someone mind explaining to me what the hell is going on?" he asked.
Iruka was about to explain, but before he was able to Kakashi was the one to speak up. "It's confidential business, if you wish to be informed ask The Lady Hokage and see if she believes you can handle it." he spoke, his expression unreadable under his mask before he, Sakura and Iruka teleported themselves to Sakura's apartment.
Sasuke scowled as he slammed the door of the Hokage tower, earning weird stares from the villagers and ninja's scurrying around the streets. He gave them all a death glare, before harshly shoving his hands in his pockets and angrily stomping in the direction of the main road.
After Kakashi and Iruka had taken Sakura, he had made his way to the Hokage tower and had demanded to know what was going on with Sakura.
He wasn't blind, he knew something was going on with her, why else would she be getting Ninja Escorts nearly every place she goes to? Why would she walk the streets and always look over her shoulder as if waiting for someone to come for her?
She had also been having a lot of trips to the Pharmacy and to the Hospital. He knew this because these places and the roofs he occasionally trained over were somewhere between the two establishments.
And while he would normally not give a damn about it, it did spike his curiosity to see one of his old team mates taking so many trips to the Medics. Was she not a medical Nin? Sasuke had heard that they were capable of healing themselves, and Konoha had some of the best Medics in the Land of Fire, the Hokage herself was a highly talented and well known Medical Nin, so why the secrecy? What were they, what was Sakura, trying to hide?
"its classified information Sasuke Uchiha, and last time I checked you were not within the allowed Ninjas I allowed to be in the know." Tsunade said dismissively as she looked over some papers and munched casually on sour treats.
"Then why does it seem like every ninja in Konoha is in the know but me, if it was that classified then it would be limited, but perhaps it's just limited to everyone in Khorana, in which case I should be-"
"Enough," Tsunade cut him off. "It is nothing of your concern, now if you want t get back on my good books again, and maybe just maybe that might make me tell you what's wrong with Sakura, you will follow the instructions in this scroll." she said tossing him a scroll.
Sasuke caught it easily and opened it and glared at the blonde woman before him. "You expect me to do your shopping for you?" he growled.
"Yes," she said matter of factly, still not directly addressing him as she reviewed more paperwork.
"You want to know what's wrong with Sakura, do what I ask, and I might just change my mind about who's in the know." she said. "Ask Shizune for the Cash on your way out, and make sure not to fuck up anything on the list, if you can't find something make note of it and tell me once you're done." she said.
Sasuke remained where he was, just glaring at the woman. "What are you waiting for, I haven't got all day. Some of the medicines there are for Sakura, it's up to you to figure out which, so get a move on."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, but he gave a curt nod and exited out of the office, slamming the door behind him.
Making his way to Shizune's desk and then out the door, his eyes raking over the list of medicines in his hands. His head tried to figure out exactly which of the medications were for the Pink haired Kunoichi, his mind coming up with some terrifying conclusions.
"Bye... See ya... Sensei leave already!" Sakura snapped as she slammed the door in her two senseis' faces. "Gods, I know they're only trying to help and want what's best for me, but they need to give me room to breathe... its frustrating." she fuzzed as she made her way to the kitchen to make some tea for herself. She went for the ice type, for it was too warm outside for her to drink it warm.
Once the tea was made and served Sakura walked over to her bedroom to pull out her vitamins. She frowned. "Crap, I'm all out of potassium and Iron..." she muttered and pulled out another vitamin container. "And fluoric acid." she let out a frustrated breath.
"Fuck." she cursed. "Well at least this means I get to get out of the house for a while longer, before I have to head back into the prison I call an apartment." she muttered as she pulled her shoes back on. "I'm taking my tea with me, I and leaving it here." she told herself just before she walked out the door. She poured it into a disposable cup and attached a lid and a straw to it after adding some ice to keep it cold.
"Now I'm good to go." she said as she grabbed her money bag and keys and shoved them into the small pocket that her dress had and once again set out of her apartment.
She looked around, glad for the escort free evening, as she walked around the village's stone streets. She sipped her tea contently as she waved and smiled at passing villagers. The information that Iruka and Kakashi had given her shortly after she had woken was making dizzy circles inside her head.
"He's been spotted in the village…. Appears to be looking for something….. Slight chance he might know, and think it really is his….
The last bit had left her with no other option but to explain o Iruka Sensei who the father of her child really was. Iruka wasn't happy he had been lied to, and most certainly didn't approve of her keeping such a secret from Sasuke, but in the end he agreed that it was her call and not his and so he let the subject drop.
She sighed. Things were getting a little out of hand at the moment and she didn't like this particular turn of events. Fear from two different things, of two different men, who were alike in more ways than they would like to admit, tugged at her heart.
She opened the door to the pharmacy and entered, still lost deep in thought. Perhaps it would be good if I just came out and told Sasuke the truth, the whole truth, maybe then I can get one fear out of the way, who knows, the Uchiha bastard might even surprise me with his reaction. She thought.
"Can't you watch where you're going you huge klutz?" A familiar voice asked.
Fuck that thought, the asshole will never change. "Fuck off Sasuke." She snapped and turned to grab her medications. Unfortunately she was able to because Sasuke grabbed hold of her forearm and held her in her spot. "What do you want?" she snapped.
"I'm sorry." He said, catching the pinkette by surprise. She blinked, trying to believe what she had just heard. "I beg your pardon?" she asked as she turned her eyes to look at him.
Emerald met Onyx for what seemed an eternity and suddenly Sasuke realized Sakura's arm as he continued to look at her face. "I said I'm sorry." He said again, in a tone that didn't hint of bitterness for being forced to repeat himself.
Sakura frowned. "For what, being a dick?" she asked. "Sorry." She apologized, remembering that he was being civil and she would not be the first one to turn this into a fight, after all the stress of the day, and she could only hope to prolong it.
"For my… for earlier this afternoon." He said simply. Sakura furrowed her brow, trying to figure out if he was serious or not, and finally after a moment she nodded. "It's alright, I was being a bitch, I provoked you, I'm sorry as well." She said.
Sasuke appeared to have let out a breath he had been holding before nodding. "Hn."
Oh grate we're back to speaking in primitive Uchiha language, single syllable grunting noise response. She thought with an internal roll of her eyes. "What are you doing here anyway?" she asked as she moved to the isle where her vitamins were at.
"Tsunade." Was his only reply and he rose a piece of paper. Sakura nodded. "Have you gotten everything on her list?" she asked and he shook his head.
"I've been here for a whole hour and I haven't even made a dent in this damn list." He said. "I've been running in circles around the pharmacy." He growled.
Sakura chuckled. "Here, hand it over, I'll help you out." She said and did not wait for a reply and instead took the list herself and looked over the things. "Hey these are for me, thank goodness she remembered." She said as she tossed her own vitamins over to his cart along with a few other things on the list. "Which were?" Sasuke asked.
"None-ya." She said quickly as she pulled the cart behind her and tossed more things into it and in a matter of minutes Sakura wheeled it to the counter for him to pay for the medicines. "Did Tsunade give you the money or did she tell you to pay for them yourself?" she asked.
Sasuke pulled out a money bag, which Sakura recognized as Shizune's and watched as he paid for the items. Sakura was able to sneak her own vitamins into a bag of its own and carried only that bag.
Sasuke had tried to force her to take more bags but she refused. "I have a bad back at the moment and I'm not supposed to do any heavy lifting." She informed as she once again walked in front of him, she had been avoiding this whole time him seeing her from her sides, and only allowed him to look at her from her back or when she was completely facing him.
She didn't know why it was that he didn't start bitching and saying it was probably just an excuse, but she was glad he shut up and accepted her excuse, even if it was only partially true. They walked for a moment longer before Sakura yawned, feeling tired.
"You should head to your apartment, it's annoying to have you walking with me all the way to the hospital when you're clearly only carrying one bag which contains the medicine you require.." he said matter of factly in a very frustrated tone.
Sakura frowned. "You're an asshole, I was just trying to walk with you and have a word with Tsunade about some things, but if you want I'll be leaving you, and you can face her wrath alone for taking so fucking long in the pharmacy and as to why of the things in her list are missing." She snapped before she walked off.
And Sasuke was left alone, had he had any idea that the warnings the Pinkette had given him about Tsunade were true he would have asked her to keep walking with him, but unfortunately he didn't so he was forced to listen to Tsunade bitch about shit for nearly two hours.
