Sasuke's P.O.V:
A day had already passed since the meeting with Tsunade. A day and yet the same thing was still racing through my mind.Actually it was more like 2 certain people. Sakura and Sakurako.
Why the hell do I have to actually love the girl? Things were so simpler when she was just some annoying fan-girl. That daughter of hers as well, there's something they're not telling me about her and I'm pretty sure I know what it is. I know I hurt her and all by leaving without a word but it doesn't give her the right to lie about my child. Well my maybe child. I'm sure she's mine though. She has my eyes, she looks the right age for her to be mine, heck I can even feel a god damn connection to her. Along with that there is the way Sakura acted about her talking to me. Obviously she doesn't want me finding out the truth and it seems neither does Tsunade. I've got to get Sakura to tell me the truth. Then again maybe she isn't mine, which would just be embarrassing. All the things that point her to being mine could just be coincidental. Well if Sakura is lying to me she probably wont tell me the truth anyway, and I'm not allowed near her… however I'm allowed near Sakurako and I'm sure her Sakura will have told her about her father unless of course it really is some rapist… but highly unlikely, Tsunade didn't even seem upset when she said it. How do I get to Sakurako though?
I thought about this question for ages and then finally I realised something… She must go to school by now. I could just get her there. I could even get her out of lessons by telling the school there is an emergency at home and Sakurako needs to leave. Perfect. Looking at the clock on the wall I noticed that, well actually I had no idea of the time, after 7 years with no attention the clock seems to have stopped working. Great. Now I would have to go shopping for batteries and get something with the time on it as well so I can set the time on this clock. Life seems so much more complicated these days.
May as well go now, got nothing better to do. So with that thought in my head I grabbed some money and left my house walking towards the shops. Nothing interesting really happened on my trip, well apart from the look on the cashiers face, it was hilarious, I even almost laughed about it. The reason for the face was not because I was back either, it was the fact that I was buying a teddy bear. Don't worry it wasn't for me. I needed to convince Sakurako that her mother was wrong someway or other and toys are a child's best friend.
On return to my home I noticed a blob of pink on my front doorstep. Getting closer I came to realise it was a person. In fact it was the one person I wanted to see, Sakurako. I quickened my pace so i would reach the child faster. As i got close to her she turned around. A smile plastered on her face.
"Hey Sakurako. What are you doing here?" I asked trying to be as nice as possible.
"Mummy won't let me see you and I wanted to be your friend. So I came to see you on my own. Don't worry though; mummy doesn't know I'm here. I told her I was going to a friend's house, so you won't get in trouble Sasuke-san." Sakurako told me.
Strangely enough it made me smile seeing her here. That's something I haven't done since the morning I left her mother. Sakura had looked so peaceful and beautiful lying there. It actually pained me to leave her. I had had to though. Itachi would have only killed her if I had not got to him first. Actually looking closer at Sakurako I can see that same beauty. She really does look like her mother apart from her eyes of course.
"Come in and make yourself at home" I told her as I opened the door. "Would you like a drink of something to eat Sakurako?" she shook her head as she walked through the door. She looked around and smiled strangely enough.
"I'm glad you're keeping the place clean." She said to me. This sentence confused me more than life it's self. Why would a child care if a house was clean or not.
"If you don't mind me asking Sakurako, why is it you care?" I asked her.
"Well truth is… I've been cleaning this house for about a year now. Don't tell mummy though. She wouldn't be happy about it. She told me never to come to this estate." She told me
"Hai well your mother is wise. It's not the best of places. Not after what happened here. Thank you for keeping the place tidy though. I appreciate it. Why did you keep the place tidy anyway? Not like this is your home or anything." I told her.
"well mummy showed me the place when I was younger and it was so dirty. When I started school and got strong and mummy let me start walking home on my own I decided to come back. I don't really know why. I just like the house. I decided from that day that I would keep it in good condition." She told me.
"Your really smart for you age aren't you. Bet your mummy's proud." I tell her.
"Yep she is. How do you know my age anyway Sasuke-san? I haven't told you" she asks me.
"Well I saw your mother 7 years ago and she wasn't even pregnant then so I'm guessing you're about 5. Am I right?" I ask her.
"6" she said as she stuck her tongue out at me. Again I found a smile on my face.
"Really? Wow your not as young as I thought then. Anyway I think we should stop standing in this doorway and sit down. If you go over to the sofa, I'll meet you there in a moment. I just have to put these things away." I tell her. She nods and skips along to the living room.
Again my thoughts begin to go crazy, 6 years old. She's got to be mine. Unless Sakura went sleeping around straight after I left. After all I'm 100 sure the rape stuff is bullshit. I just need to make it certain now…
I grabbed the teddy bear I bought and went into the living room. I saw Sakurako looking at one of my family pictures with such content. She almost looked upset. I walked over to her and she looked at me. I saw my own eyes staring back at me. Again s smile found it's way to my face. This child really does have an effect on me. I passed her the teddy and I saw her face light up. My smile grew wider.
"What's this for Sasuke-san?" she asked me.
"I jus thought you'd like it. I saw it and thought of you instantly." I told her. She smiled and walked up to me with her arms out spread. I picked her up and she gave me a hug.
"Thank you so much Sasuke-san, I love it." She said. I sa down with her still in my arms.
"No problem. Anyway, don't you think we should start getting to know each other?" she nodded and looked at me while sat on my knee. "Well I think we should start with family. Since I already know your mother, why don't you tell me about your father?"
"I never met my father Sasuke-san. Mummy told me he was taken away by missing-nin. She refuses to talk about him other than that. I think she's really upset that he's not here." She told me. "She won't even tell me his first name. I only know his last name and that's cause I have the same last name."
"What would that be then?" I ask her eager to here.
"Nooooo, you gotta tell me about your family first. Then I'll tell you my last name." She said as she stuck her tongue out at me once again.
"Alright then. Well my mother she was a wonderful woman. She was very kind to me. My father he wanted the best for me. When I was younger I used to think he loved my brother more. He just showed his love in different ways to both of us though. As for my brother… he was smart, strong and unfortunately evil. After a certain incident I hated him and never will forgive him even to this day." I told her truthfully. I know it's probably not what I should be telling a child but I felt she had the right to know the truth. She's a smart kid anyway. She'd probably figure it out if I were lying. "Your turn"
"You gotta promise me you won't let my mummy know I told you though. She told me I was not to tell you under any circumstances." She told me. I nodded and she carried on. "My last name is… Uchiha."
It was at the moment she told me her last name that my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. I was right. She was my daughter and Sakura didn't even want me to know. A few minutes passed and finally I found my voice.
"Sakurako, I don't know how to tell you this but… well" I started to say it but grew scared to tell her the truth. It could hurt her so much to know the truth. What if she thinks I knew about her and just couldn't be bothered with her. She'd feel heartbroken.
"You're my Daddy?" she said suddenly shocking me. I think she could tell from my shocked face it was a yes as she carried on. "I thought you might be when I saw you in baachan's office. When she stopped me saying my last name I started thinking. Then I looked closer at you and saw you had the same eyes as me. Then mummy said how you hurt her and stuff and I knew you knew her before. The biggest clue was that you lived here though. In the Uchiha estate. Only Uchiha's can live here. Mummy told me that. I wasn't certain until you told me about your mummy and daddy and brother though. Then I knew. I could tell you had the same thought as well. You were trying to reveal the truth from me." She told me.
"Wow, you really are too smart for your age. Even people in their teens wouldn't be able to work that out." I said to her. She giggled a bit before replying.
"Mummy says Baachan told her I will probably be the smartest and strongest Uchiha yet. She believes I should be put in a team already and don't really need to go to school. The only reason I do go is to make friends." She told me.
"Well it will help in the long run. I assure you." I told her
"Sasuke-san, is it ok if I call you Daddy?" Sakurako asked me. I smiled the largest smile ever.
"Of course you can. Just not when your Mummy is in listening range." I told her. She smiled and hugged me once again this time though she also gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Daddy I have another question? Why did you hurt Mummy?" she asked me. This was a question I had hoped Sakura would hear the answer to first but it was clear she would not listen. So I decided I would tell my daughter.
"I didn't want to hurt you Mummy. Truth is I loved her and still does. She just doesn't know that. The reason for me leaving her for the second time however was because I needed to avenge my, I mean our family and get my brother before he could hurt your mummy. I did it for her protection. She wouldn't believe me though if I told her." I tell her.
After taking in what I said a huge grin appeared on Sakurako's face. IT was actually quiet a scary grin. Sort of evil. It was clear she had plotted something. A plan.
"I'm gonna get you and mummy back together. Your not allowed to go near mummy but I am and I'm allowed near you too. Well sorta. All we have to do is make mummy realise that she still loves you, or we can make her love someone else that Is actually you but she won't know." Sakurako told me.
"You mean like a secret admirer?" I asked her. She nodded. "It's what Mummy did with Aunty Ino and Uncle Shikamaru. She knew both of them liked each other so she decided to write secret admirer notes to both of them and as they fell in love with their secret admirer she got them to meet up and bam they realised they liked each other. My Mummy really is smart." Sakurako said proudly.
"Indeed she is. So your going to be little messenger girl hey?" I asked her she nodded.
"It's perfect cause Mummy won't know I'm meeting with you and so she won't expect you and then when you meet up she'll find out it was and realise you love her and then you'll get together and I'll have my Mummy and my Daddy together. It will be great." She told me.
"Sounds good to me." I told her. I looked at my newly bought watch and realised it was almost 7 at night. "It's getting late. I think it's about time we get you home. We wouldn't want your Mummy finding you here. It would ruin the whole plan and I'd never get to see you again." She nodded.
We walked together down the streets. Thankfully nobody was around to see us together and tell Sakura. As we rounded the corner that was a few houses down from Sakura's and Sakurako's house me and Sakurako said a long goodbye before she skipped off home. I waited until she was safely inside her home before walking away. A smile on my face once again. I had a daughter, a beautiful, smart, strong daughter. This could possibly have been the best day of my life.
An: there it was. Now Sasuke and Sakurako know and there planning on tricking Sakura into loving Sasuke again. Wow and talk about a smart 6 year old. I wish I had been that smart when I was 6. Could just forget about school then. Ah that would be fun :D. anyway hope u enjoyed the chapter. Please do review and don't forget to carry on reading.
