A/N: Yo!
THANK YOUUU! For all the reviews, hits, alerts, faves etc etc for the Last chapter!! I think (by the numbers) that chapter was my most successful… yet it was my choppiest one… haha.
–HUGGLES YOU ALL-
That is all!

INSERT PIECE ONE.
-x-X-x-
Part One.
S — is for SASUKE. (Secrets are essential…)
His heart felt faint.
Literary.
It had been a day since yesterday…
'What the… FUCK?'
For some unknown reason he felt his heart beating faster and faster.
'Sakura…'
No. NO. She couldn't be…
'…pregnant…'
There was no way that she was.
This wasn't happening. This wasn't working out the way he had planned it to work out.
His heart was beating to erratically it'd made him pant slightly.
'What's happening to me…?' he couldn't help ask himself, although he very well knew the answer to that.
First it was Naruto finding out about his secret…
And now this.
The raven man smiled bitterly, he didn't think Naruto was going to act the way he did when he found out. Them being best friends… Sasuke thought that maybe that little knowledge about what he had been hiding from everyone would've evoked more emotion from Naruto. And although he didn't tell the dobe WHY and HOW exactly what he had found out yesterday had anything relevant to do with his own break with Sakura…
But again… Despite being the fool everyone gave him credit for, deep down, when it came to hunches Naruto's instincts were the best. And Sasuke knew…
Even before Naruto had found the evidence in that stupid yellow envelope that he should've hid more carefully… Sasuke knew Naruto found out, as stupid as the reason was…
Naruto knew why Sasuke had asked Sakura for the break.
He just better keep his mouth shut. Sasuke still had time… and now wasn't the time to tell anyone, especially Sakura…
But Kami, he groaned. He wanted to tell her so bad. He wanted her to wrap her arms lovingly around him… and to be able to hold her in his…
But he knew that wouldn't do any good. It would hurt her more.
But not only that… because also, it would hurt him more.
And now there was the pregnancy scandal with Sakura…
He knew that if she was really pregnant. It would be with his child. He had no doubt about that.
Half of him was ecstatic over the possibility that Sakura might be pregnant with his child… but the other half of him was thinking that this was the worst that could happen…
He knew to never believe what he reads in articles or see on TV because eighty percent of the time it was utter bullshit.
He had to go see her.
Break or no break. He would have to talk to her about this…
ASAP.

Eye-catch! A black haired man kneeled upon a large and exquisite grave stone. In bold capitals was his own name, the tomb stone ghostly screamed, UCHIHA SASUKE. — Lord give me strength to walk away...

Part Two.
I — is for INO. (It kills to lose when you win.)
He had been acting weird since yesterday. Although she didn't say anything to him, she knew he knows she's suspicious.
And she also knew yesterday after he left from Sasuke's, he went and got himself intoxicated. That's what struck her.
Naruto never got out and drunk till he dropped, that was always Sasuke job, and Naruto would be the one getting him back on his feet again.
But when the normally tipsy yet cheery blonde had staggered into the room yesterday night, looking like hell, with Shikamaru as his support… She knew something must've definitely happened at Sasuke's place.
Of course Naruto was one to go out and have drinks. He was a party animal. But this time it was different.
It was so un-Naruto like.
Because this time it looked as though he wasn't drinking to have fun, it seemed he did it for a different motive all together…
…like…
Drinking pain away?... or maybe even…
Trying to find some solace?
She hadn't seen him like this since…
…Since she had left him…
But that wasn't something Ino wanted to think about right now…because even now thinking about what happened back then…
It hurt.
She knows Naruto's feelings for her were genuine… but sometimes she couldn't help but feel like… like… she was a replacement… a replacement for something he could never have…
And this morning when she found him in a deep slumber, she quietly went to work, but not before carefully giving him a chaste kiss on his whiskered-scarred face.

Eye-catch! A blonde beauty stood behind a loving couple. The man's cheesy expression was seen, but for a split second, his short haired girlfriend's face was replaced by her own. — It shouldn't have happened that way…

Part Three.
N — is for NARUTO. (Never underestimate the loud idiot.)
Slowly, heavy blood-shot eyes fluttered open. Bright streams of light attack his eyes, that's when he felt the aftermath of being drunk the day before.
This head throbbed in pain. It was spinning, almost madly, back and forth, and back and forth, in a whirlwind of chaos.
Grudgingly getting up from his bed, he planted his feet on the ground and just as he stood up…
"EARTHQUAKE!!" He screamed on impulse loudly before jumping back on the bed.
It took a few seconds for him to realize how stupid that comment was, before he again stepped to the floor. This time however, the shaking underneath his feet had slight subsided. He managed a wobbly walk to his bathroom.
An odd shiver ran through him. Feeling the cool liquid fill up in the palm of his hands he splashed the chilly water all over his tired face before looking straight in his mirror. And…
"UGH!" when he saw his reflection he flinched in shock. He did not look like himself! He—he—he looked like Sasuke on a semi-bad day. And THAT was saying enough.
He felt like shit. And he hadn't felt this bad since…
Oh God.
It would seem as though history is repeating itself.
Sighing, he rubbed his face before stripping himself and hopped into the shower.
Turning the handle to the left and pulling it forward, he stood still as the icy water blast onto him.
He didn't know why he went out last night.
Even after he found out about Sasuke's secret.
It was Sakura he felt sorry for…
It didn't even have anything to do with him!...
'But it does…'
He thought reluctantly.
But at least now. He knew.
He knew why Sasuke wanted the break.
He now knew why Sasuke had been getting close with Karin. Because. She was Fujiwara Keiichi's daughter.
Naruto's lips tugged into a small smirk. Sasuke was a stupid bastard. He was an insanely moronic asshole despite being the influential figure-head Tokyo held him to be. But besides that point he was also a manipulative genius.
Sasuke was definitely playing his cards right.
It was just everyone else's he was fucking up.

Eye-catch! His cerulean eyes watched as the blonde bombshell dozed off in his arms, for a sudden moment, someone else's face had switched with hers. He shook his head. — She was not a replacement...

Part Four
S — is for SAKURA. (Sorrow is a six letter word.)
She nearly fainted when she saw that article.
All that disguising and it was all in vain!
'You didn't try that hard…'
'But still!...'
She felt like an idiot. Thinking back to it now, she could've just asked someone to go and buy it for her.
It was at times like these she hated her life. The pink haired smiled bitterly. If it had been someone else… someone less known… then the world wouldn't keep tabs on her life twenty-four/seven… they everyone would just go on with life without having to know more about hers than… she did.
But it was then something much more alarming hit her.
What will Sasuke think when he sees it?
She nibbled her lower lip in nervous wonder.
He would most likely flip.
Or maybe he wouldn't believe it at all?
He could even go all jack-ass and ask her if it was even his child…
She shook her head at that last thought. If Sasuke even brought something like that up… she would… she would, slaughter him!
She groaned. This was taking forever.
Only forty-eight seconds had past…
Sakura had been to chicken to take the test yesterday…
So she was waiting for the results now.
'How long is this going to take!?'
'It's hasn't even been a minute yet—oh wait. 1 min 1 second. I min 2 second…3 second…'
She groaned.
Now that she thought about it…
Her revenge thing… hasn't turned out the way she had hoped.
And…her parents…and his parents…it's odd they haven't called.
And. And!...
That movie offer from Neji…
She already had a conclusion for that…
'If it turns green, no. If it's red, then yes…'
Her mind always ended up wondering off when she couldn't wait for something to happen. It was a little skill she developed since she as very little…
In case you hadn't notice… Haruno Sakura was not a very patient female.
After a little while her gaze ran to the end of the stick…
It was done.
And seeing the colour, her eyes widened in shock, her pink lips slightly parted open…
A heavy, unknown sensation flooded down the pits of her stomach.
And to be honest…
She wasn't sure if she was disappointed or releaved…

Eye-catch! Drip… Drip…Teary emerald eyes watch heartbrokenly, catching her dark haired lover in bed with another. Breathing erratically… She… Woke up. — Whatever was not, never will be…

A/N: There were MAJOR hints in this chapter! But short again? Yeaah I'm sorry! Reason: Schools been really shitty for me... I HATE my new school...so much crap to do...Anyways...
It's a (very weird, but I like it) FILLER. Since things were moving so fast I had to slow it down a bit…
And yeah… (sighh) I try… Next chapter will be better I promise! SS FLUFF! Sasuke's gonna have a talk...with Sakura... -cough- haha...
Well, Please review. :)
Note: It's only a question if there's a question mark. If you're question is not in here then it probably was similar to the ones I did answer…
And oh the questions are straight copy and paste so if they don't make sense that's your own fault! Haha…
Dun dun duuun!! (AWESOME answers… to you're not so awesome questions… hehe)
O-M-G-O-S-H did sakura cheat on sasuke!?
Definitely not! Unless she gets possessed or something…
Btw had those two ever had sex yet? Uhm i dun think he should cheat on Sakura with karin he loved really much didn't he?
Those two, meaning Karin... or Sakura…? Well, in any case yes to both! Of course Sasuke has slept with Karin before! (when he wasn't with Sakura yet!!) I'm NOT trying to encourage SasuKarin!! I'm just being realistic. :) No Sasuke is not a cheater. Of course until he gets possessed or something…
I don't know, this fic (some of your fic actually) is more of SasuKarin than Sasusaku?
O.O… ehh. I didn't feel that there was much SasuKarin in here so far… but just keep in mind that this is and always will be a SS fic!!
i wonder what's that secret naruto and sasuke talking about??
Ehh. Well great! But sorry I'll have to let you keep wondering then! XD
Why did Sasuke ask for the break?
Because he's Sasuke. (For more info please read question above)
Must 'Tokyo Times' be so nosy?!
Well ask all mags/newspapers alike… to which they would answer yes because they need to bring up some interesting headline for consumers to buy…who by the way is us… haha..
well that was interesting what is sasue keeping from sakura?
A lot… yet so… little…
Is there going to be anymore of Sasuke and Karin?
Umm… that honestly depends on what you claim to be 'SasuKarin.' Like for instance some people don't think there been much Saska in this fic… yet others think there's been too much…
OKE IMPORTANT!!
THE QUESTION THINGY: I have decided to discontinue it from here on. Yeahhs that was the last of the "Dundun duuun… Answers to your not-so-good questions!" but I don't want ppl to feel as though I've started to neglect my reviews since I've already done the Q&A thingo for most of my chapters… SO just giving you a heads up! Of course I'll be clearing little bits from time to time just so no one gets confused! The reason I'm taking it away is because its soo troublesome...
Asterisque out!
