6 years later:
A figure walked through the gates of Konoha. Alone, unarmed and yet looking completely confident. The village was in no way under threat and therefore no guards stood at the gates fending off dangers. Why not feel confident?
As this mystery person walked through the streets people looked and began to whisper to each other. Murmurs going around. The mystery person didn't bother to listen though. What was the point, they could guess what the whispers were without listening. The person walked into the Hokage tower and up to the office on the top floor. They knocked on the door and waited for a reply telling her/him to go in.
"Come in" a tired, moaning Hokage said. The person went into the office and was greeted by a shocked face and then an empty sake bottle nearly hitting their head. "What the hell do you think your doing back here Uchiha don't you think you've caused enough problems in this village already?"
"Sumanai Tsunade-sama for all the trouble I have caused you and the village. Please understand that I needed to avenge my family. I know I made some wrong decisions along the way but I am hoping you'll forgive me for them and allow me back into the village." The figure said. (AN: if you haven't guessed who it is by the Uchiha part… well god help you… seriously.)
"Sasuke, I will allow you back into the village, however there will be rules set for you. The reason I am doing this is not because I forgive you for anything you have done. Rather because I appreciate that you came back on your own accord and also I'm doing this for Naruto. He's missed you dearly." Tsunade said to the figure.
"Hai, Tsunade-sama" Sasuke replied.
"Now here's the deal. You are to be prohibited from leaving the village for 2 years unless said so by me. You are to still be a juunin as when you left. You may only go in for the chunnin exams once you have been here for a year. One more thing… You may not see Sakura until I say so. If I find out you have broken any of these rules I will not hesitate to have you executed." Tsunade told him.
"Hai, Tsunade-sama. May I ask though why I may not see my old team-mate?" Sasuke asked.
"Don't play dumb Uchiha, I'm aware of what you did. I was the first one she came up to when she realised you were gone. She was in hystericals. She really thought you cared. Thankfully now she's moved on and I won't have you ruin her finally happy life." Tsunade said.
"I di…" Sasuke started but was instantly cut off by the call of a child.
"Baachaaaaaaaan" the child called.
Sasuke turned around to spot a small child running at him and Tsunade. The thing that stuck out about this child though was the pink hair. This pink hair made him interested in the child and then as he studied the child closer he saw onyx eyes. Like his almost. That was when a thought struck him and Tsunade seemed to notice the look on his face.
"Sasuke, don't flatter yourself. She not yours" Tsunade told him in a voice so quiet that the incoming child couldn't here.
The child ran towards Tsunade and was welcomed into a large hug. One the hug was over She resigned on the woman's knee.
"Who's this Baachan?" the child asked.
"That doesn't matter darling. You don't need to know." Tsunade told her. Sasuke kept on staring at the child. Thoughts probably running through his head.
"I want to know Baachan." She said before looking at Sasuke and introducing herself. "Hi my names Sakurako U.."
Sakura's P.O.V
"That's quiet enough Sakurako. Your mother would not be happy with you if you befriend this man. He is not somebody you should be getting involved with." I heard Tsunade say as I walked towards her office.
Coming closer I saw another person in the office with my daughter and Tsunade. Even though I could only see the back of their head I instantly knew who it was. I'd know that hairstyle from miles away.
"But why Baachan?" I heard my daughter ask. I walked up to the door and Tsunade looked at me.
"Because this man only brings pain and I won't have him hurting you." I said. "Now come, I don't want you here while he is here. You can come back later."
I can see she's sad. She wants to stay and talk to Sasuke. She can probably feel a connection to him. After all he is her father. I won't let him know that though. I refuse to let him into Sakurako's life.
"I want to stay with Baachan and this man. He wont hurt me mummy I promise. If he tries to I'll use my secret weapon. I'm strong enough to protect myself." She tells me.
She's thought that ever since she got her Sharingan. She feels she can't be defeated. She can though. Sure she's strong for her age… Tsunade told me she go her Sharingan way too early. She said with power like that she could be the strongest Uchiha yet. Even so though, she can't protect herself against Sasuke. He doesn't even need strength to hurt people. All he needs is words.
"No Sakurako. I'll bring you back when he leaves but I refuse to leave you here while he's here." I tell her.
"I'm not some monster Sakura, I'd never hurt her." Sasuke told me. I looked at him. He was staring at me and I was starting to fall. I thought I was over him but looking at him now. His drop dead gorgeous looks, his apologetic eyes. I feel love towards him. I can't love him though. For Sakurako's sake.
"You sure about that? You hurt me remember Sasuke. I don't care for your words anymore. Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie. I learnt that from your first return. If you could call it that. You just wanted some fun then didn't you? I was dumb enough to fall for what you said as well. Dumb enough to think you might have cared about me. You think I'd let you anywhere near my daughter after what you did. Seriously, you must be dumber than I thought if you do think that." I shouted at him.
I was seriously angry now. Memories flashed through my head. That night, The morning after, my pregnancy, every day I waited thinking he'd come back. I was stupid. I'm still stupid. I still love him and for that I am dumber than him.
"Sakura I'm s…" Sasuke started. I didn't want to hear what he had to say though. He hurt me too much and I wasn't about to go through that pain again.
"Save it Sasuke… I've already told you your words mean nothing." I shouted at him "Sakurako come here now were leaving."
"but mummy" Sakurako argued.
"No buts, here now" I shouted at her. I hadn't meant to shout I just wanted her away from him. She finally obliged and got of Tsunade's knee walking towards me. I picked her up and turned to leave. "Leave me and my daughter alone Sasuke. I don't want you anywhere near either of us and if you do come near me or my daughter I'll make sure you pay for it. Sorry Tsunade for this… I'll bring Sakurako back later."
"Hai Sakura I understand." Tsunade told me. After her words I walked away not once looking back because I knew if I did I'd want to go crawling back to him. Sakurako however did look back. I could tell she was looking at him and I could feel his gaze upon us also, even that I couldn't stand. I quickened my pace and got out of the building as fast as I could.
Normal P.O.V
Sasuke still looked out of the door to where Sakura and Sakurako had been. He didn't know why but he felt such a connection with the little girl. Probably just because of her mother.
"Who's the girls father?" Sasuke asked Tsunade.
"Does it matter? All you need to know is that your not." Tsunade told him.
"I want to know. I know you may not believe me Tsunade-sama but I do feel something for Sakura." Sasuke told her.
"Fine if you must know, we have no idea who the father is. Sakura was raped. She refused to get rid of the child though. She told me it was not the child's fault and the child didn't deserve to be killed just because her father was a rapist Sakura didn't even know." Tsunade told him.
Truth is it wasn't a complete lie either. In a sense Sasuke did rape her. Sakura had sex with him thinking he was going to stay and they'd be together. Tsunade just extended that for Sakurako's protection. Surely if Sasuke knew the truth there would only be trouble.
"She was raped? Has the bastard been caught?" Sasuke asked.
"We think so. There was word of him handing himself in within his own village. We never met him ourselves. Sakura refused to. She didn't want to see the man that raped her. The leader of his village punished him. I don't know how bad the punishment was however. It's not right to get into the business of other villages." Tsunade said.
"hn." Sasuke said.
"Now I've told you that tell me what has come of Orochimaru, the sound and your brother?" Tsunade asked.
"Orochimaru, Kabuto and a large amount of the sound have been killed. I was unable to get everyone as many fled. As for my brother he's also dead along with his partner Kisame." Sasuke said.
"I'm glad to hear. Maybe that will help you winning back everyone's trust. You'll be staying within the Uchiha compound. Don't mess this up Sasuke this is your only chance to regain my trust. Do something wrong your dead. I also suggest u do as Sakura told you. Stay away from Sakurako and I know you'll stay away form Sakura since your not allowed near her. Dismissed." Tsunade said.
"Does that mean I'm allowed near Sakurako?" Sasuke asked.
"If you have a death wish yes. Seriously Sakura's gotten a lot stronger than she was as a child and she won't hesitate in killing you if you hurt her daughter in any way. She's very protective." Tsunade said. Sasuke nodded and walked out of the office and onto the street making his way towards the Uchiha compound.
