Sakura took a shower an got ready for bed and sat in the living room. Sasuke had finished having a shower and was changed for bed too. He came down and saw Sakura just sitting there. "Sakura?" He asked with a puzzled look.
"Hey Sasuke, just wondering what movie to watch. Why are you looking at me like that?" Sakura looked at him and got up looked at his DVD collection. Sasuke watched her for a moment and answered, "No reason, just wondering."
Five minutes later she had chosen to watch Underworld, got two spoons and two small tubes of ice-cream, Strawberry and vanilla. She looked at Sasuke and asked, "You wanna watch with me?" Instead of answering he took the vanilla ice-cream and sat on the sofa waiting to press play. Sakura sat next to him and opened the ice-cream and Sasuke pressed play.
They watched the movie and ate the ice-cream. At around 10:30 pm there was a knock at the door. They paused the movie and answered the door. It was Ino, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata, Neji, Ten-Ten, Rock-Lee and Kakashi. Sasuke stared at them and just before anyone could speak Sakura came and hugged Sasuke from behind, surprising everyone.
"Sasuke, can we watch the rest of Underworld now?" Sakura asked. They invited the others in and were about to press play. "Sakura..." It was Ino. "Hn." Sakura answered and looked towards Ino with a spoon of ice-cream in her mouth.
"You're not scared by Underworld?" Ino looked at her concerned. "No why should I be? It's not scary it's just a bit creepy and gory. It's one of my favourite films." She then took the remote from Sasuke who was eating his ice-cream again and pressed play. Everyone watched the movie and Ino and Hinata were a bit scared by it. Just before the end Sasuke and Sakura finished their ice-cream and Sasuke got up took Sakura's tub binned it and threw the spoons in the sink.
He got back just before the end credits came up. Sakura got up and turned the lights on. Ino was still huddling up to Shikamaru and someone took a photo of Ino scared. Shikamaru just glared at them. Sasuke studied each person carefully and soon realised that it seemed they wanted to stay the night.
"Sakura can I talk to you now?!" Sasuke asked and they went to the kitchen and discussed if their friends should stay the night. They discussed it with their friends and they stayed the night. People had to share beds, Sasuke and Sakura shared, again, Naruto and Hinata shared, Ino and Shikamaru shared and so did Neji and Ten-Ten. Kakashi had a bed to himself but he had invited Kurenai
when everyone was asleep and she left before people woke up.
The next day went by as expected, but the day after that, went a bit different. It had started off fine. But at midday Sakura bought something very, unexpected, "Sasuke I need to know something." Sakura said getting Sasuke to sit down.
"What do you need to know?" Sasuke looked at her knowing what was coming up. "Remember when you left and just before you did, I told you I loved you more than anything." She spoke tears coming to her eyes at the memory of that night.
"Yeah, I remember." He replied. "Sasuke, I still mean it, all these years I still love you more than anything in this world." Sakura spoke letting a lone tear roll down her cheek. He thought for a moment thinking of a response. He thought he would just say what he wanted to say. He sighed and decided to just say it and get it over with instead of dragging it out.
"I love you too, Sakura. One of the main reason I came back was because of you." Sasuke said quietly and not making eye contact with Sakura. "R-really! Sasuke you mean it, REALLY!" Sakura was so surprised by his response she had to make sure.
"I mean it Sakura. I don't joke or fake my feelings. It's unnecessary." He looked at her this time. Before Sasuke knew what was happening Sakura threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. Shocked slightly at her actions Sasuke got over the initial shock and responded to her kiss and they had their first, real kiss. They enjoyed it and deepened the kiss. They only parted because they seriously needed air in their lungs.
The rest of the day, they spent the time together. That day was just them and no-one else existed. That night they slept in the same bed again, as it was becoming a common thing, Sakura slept in the same bed as Sasuke from then on.
Sakura was now 5 months pregnant and was finding it hard to walk properly. So she stayed at home or was sitting down a lot. Sasuke and Sakura were now sorting out the nursery, with the help of their friends, for their baby and spent the day with their friends. They had spent a good 2 weeks working on it to make it perfect.
Now the nursery was nearly finished, they decided to take a break. At ten-thirty they finished the nursery and they went out for ramen.
"Hinata, have you kissed Naruto yet?" Ino asked, because Hinata wasn't expecting for the question she turned the deepest shade of red ever."Y-Yes. On o-our last d-date." She answered. The girls talked about the boys and Hinata asked Sakura something she knew would come up.
"So Sakura, have you kissed Sasuke? We have kissed our boyfriends so have you kissed him?" Sakura looked around making sure no-one was listening a part from the girls.
"Yes! Me and Sasuke kissed for the first time when I was just past four months pregnant. Also we told each other we love each other for the first time." The girls looked shocked, yet Sakura looked like she was on cloud nine.
Lee had separated himself from the group. He didn't want to be around that "bastard Sasuke" as he put it. Naruto had gone round Lee's house to see if he was all right. Instead of getting a proper response. Naruto got a shove and a "Hn!"so Naruto just walked off.
Lee went off to find Sasuke to challenge him. He looked and, thanks to Naruto, the others had followed Lee. He found Sasuke talking to Sakura in the park. Lee just stood there in front of them. "Sasuke, I challenge you for the beautiful Sakura's hand." Sasuke stared at him, got up and spoke. "Ok then."
Everyone from their gang was watching and before anyone knew it, the fight was over. Sasuke had won and Lee was laying on the ground wounded and unconscious but Sasuke didn't have a scratch on him.
Two months had past and Sakura was now 7 months pregnant. It looked like she was about to burst. Sakura was out for a walk and Ino came up behind her. "Hey, Sakura." They sat on a bench and started talking.
"Sakura, you look like you're going to burst. Should I get undercover." Ino placed a hand on Sakura's stomach. Suddenly Ino took her hand away before Sakura could say anything. "Hahaha, I guess even the baby doesn't appreciate your terrible jokes either Ino." Sakura said having a laughing fit.
"Oh, very funny Sakura. Looks like the baby has the attitude of it's father." Looking away pouting and walked away sulking but actually really pleased that she felt the baby kick even if she wouldn't admit it.
After that little encounter, Ino and Sakura went their separate ways and Ino went off to meet Shikamaru at the front gate of the Ninja Academy. He, as usually, complained that Ino was in a mood. "Great, mind-numbing junk about Sakura AGAIN!" He got up went over to Ino. Sighed and tried to calmed her down.
"OK, what was it this time?" That was the beginning of her rant. "Can you believe it? First Sakura, now her brat of a child." Shikamaru just looked at her and sat down. "It kicked me! I made a joke and I put my hand over her stomach and it kicked me and hard as well." Shikamaru didn't even reply just sighed.
"Oh, that is sooo Sasuke's child as the attitude of him that's for sure." For about the next hour, she whined, complained and ranted about Sakura, Sasuke and their child. Instead of going on a nice ordinary date Shikamaru had planned, he sat there being tortured by Ino's constant complaints.
"Complain, complain, complain and more complaining. That's all she does even if we're on a date or anywhere together." Shikamaru sat there rubbing the back of his head. "Oh my god. Sakura is such a pain. Thank god I can talk about it with Shikamaru. Even though I did actually like feeling the baby kick, but I'm not gonna tell anyone am I? I have my reputation to uphold thank you very much." Ino was still talking but there were some things she kept to herself.
About half an hour went by and, Ino gave up ranting and sat next to Shikamaru. She laid her head on his shoulder and sighed. She had been up half the night worrying about Sakura and had gotten up early because she couldn't sleep.
She was so relaxed that she fell asleep. Shikamaru was shocked and surprised, that he jumped at her sudden contact. He poked her and whispered to her. "Ino. Ino! Wake up!" No use, she was so asleep it seemed she was dead to the world, apart from the fact she was breathing and slightly moving every now and then.
They sat like that until Ino woke up, which was about two hours later. Shikamaru was sooo bored by then and numb. She woke up, rubbed her eyes and looked up at Shikamaru, who was staring at the clouds floating past.
She sat up straight and blushed a very deep shade of red. She got up brushed herself off and got up. She avoided eye contact and whispered, "Thank you." and ran off. That left a very confused Shikamaru in it's tracks. He just shrugged it off and went home.
Please review. I hope you like it.
Thank you :D
