After ages, I am back, just for my readers with a special gift, I goanna give 6 chapters in these two weeks as my fingers are splendid with thoughts and nothing... no exam, no homework, or tuition going to stop me from that...
So let's just begin...


Chapter-5
-New dawn; New fire
"You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness; Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken."
— Anais Nin


5th February,
forest country-4 Kage summit
Things have been quite same from before, our discussion is leading nowhere. Tsunade-Sama has been constantly busy for demanding courtesy of Uchiha Sasuke. Things will take time to fit in position, especially after the happening of KAGE SUMMIT 3 where we were attacked by Akatsuki, again. More precisely, by Zetsu and Madara; well Mizukage goanna disclaimer their act of spreading terror and no real message but I say it had a purpose- Sasuke Uchiha; he is wanted... he can be a soldier or an assassin... depends with whom he resides... But their act has just strengthened the power play of Tsunade...
"There is no way we could pardon him" Tsuchikage roared thumping his strong fist on the table.
"Shinobi world is on stake of war, we require more things than army, weapons and strategies- we need Uchiha Sasuke..." Raikage took side with Tsunade.
I had always loved this old man... So righteous, calmed and experience,
"We have no reason t trust him" It came from our dear Mizukage.
"We have to take risk" Hokage fought back.
"We are taking enough" It was from Mizukage.
"War is not always won by power, it is a game of chess, and we had to use Uchiha Sasuke against them before they use him against us" Tsunade came back.
"He is already with them, why he'll side with us" Mei Tarumi again gave another argument.
"Because Sasuke knows that Madara is using him, he is not someone who let others rule over him, he is playing the same game he was playing with Orochimaru but that mutt don't know about what is Madara Uchiha." Tsunade voice has reached his top and round conference table has reached his limits for bearing fists... and the table was in two parts.
"Miss Hokage, if you remember the purpose of Uchiha Sasuke is to destroy Konoha, so I believe you are the one at the peak of loss while Madara is giving him path for his revenge" Mizukage throws another arrow.
"Miss Mizukage dear, hope you remember 5th January, 3rd Kage summit where Madara and Zetsu attacked o inflict us with terror or we can better classify it as a fear to lose Uchiha brat in our hands"
Tsunade taunted back.
'If this is not stopped, it is going to lead to a cat fight and this time table won't be the only thing broken'
"ladies, please- we are not getting anywhere, you both need to calm down" it was Raikage.
That's why I like him the most.
"we all have facts registered we don't need a debate but reasons and miss Tsunade it will be best you give reasons to all of them... let it be a question are round then an open fire"
Raikage calmed the heated conference room.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So we should start it then, 1st why we need Uchiha Sasuke at our side?" Raikage asked.
"Because to our knowledge, he is the only one can kill Madara and may I also remind you he is been playing all his tricks all this centuries by mind and not power and thus can only be defeated by it" Tsunade-Sama won first argument.
"Very well Tsunade- Sama, 2nd how are you planning to do so?" Raikage notified it again.
"Madara and Sasuke's ways are different and then Haruno Sakura is pregnant with Sasuke's child... That goanna bring him to us. He has spent 13 years in this village and his brother died to protect it... He was a soldier of Konoha and even he IS. There are people who can dye to bring him back... not now but later he will be with us... just few policies and it will just fast forward our plans"
"This answer was more theoretical and faith based, I doubt this might not be accepted." Tsuchikage exerted.
"I can prove this, he has spared the life of that girl, he has stolen a scroll from Suna and uses it to protect his unborn child and all this he did behind Madara's eyes."
Raikage took notes... and then headed again.
"Hokage Sama... You know you are risking your country" Raikage put another extract but that was just too see the mind set of Tsunade-Sama.
"I care for my country more than you can ever estimate... I know and bet on every person of my country and that what I'm doing and I am 100%sure I won't lose this gamble." Tsunade-Sama words were confident and proud...
"Let's go ahead, how are you planning on Uchiha Sasuke if he resided with us?" Only Raikage's voice was the thing heard.
"His only work will be to end Madara... he will know nothing of our strategies and planning..." Hokage words were contradicting.
"Hokage-Sama, you said you have faith on him"
"I have faith on him and not on Madara and Zetsu, I believe we already have enough spies, Akatsuki knew what our 3rd Kage summit was about... It's useless to take worthless steps when we don't know anything about their strategies and they knew and estimate a lot."
"Well I believe I just have this much with me... is there anyone who want to inquire or ask anything" Raikage did his work and resided his old ass on his chair back.
"I have" It was Tsuchikage.
Every eyes was on him, we all have an instinct his question can push Hokage-Sama efforts upside down.
"Yes, I like to hear" Hokage-Sama strain out in confidence.
"He has a bulk of crimes on his head, which include every country; I have no reason to pardon him"
Tsuchikage eyes penetrating the cold glare of Tsunade-Sama... seriously... we have a lot internal matters and pride to came out before joining our hands.
"Executing or punishing that Uchiha brat won't be any good to us than to fight with him. A lot is at stake TODAY than our Past..."
Our Kage summit ended with the decision that his name to be scraped off from Bingo book and removing the rice of execution on site from him... he is pardoned and will be accepted back in his country...
and the petition was signed.
Our Kage summit ended peacefully at the wise words of Tsunade-Sama.
"We have lot o lose than to gain."


At last Gaara is back from his 4th KAGE SUMMIT, I have been eagerly waiting for him to return... I have been thinking about it quite from some days... I need to get stronger, even if I am not a shinobi but a mother and I know there is world in front of her want something from her or want to kill her and until she is on her foot it's my duty to protect her. So shinobi or not I goanna train her... And no one else but Gaara is the one who could help me the most, in my situation.

I kept my stethoscope in the drawer and remove my doctor coat to place it quietly on my arm, kept the reports in shelf, closed the window, switch off the lights and fans and locked my cabin door. I got my job here, in the hospital... the place where I am most useful, obviously I can't use my chakra but I am still the medic trained my Tsunade- Sama... I can do surgeries with our traditional method, I can still detect the disease with other test and diagnosis, I can still treat them with medicine and acupuncture, and I can teach younger sand kids... I am still useful in this hospital without my chakra... I spend my 16 years gaining all I could and no jutsu or spell can take it in one go.

firstly when I joined, I was a bit hesitant and not enthusiastic but Gaara came and preached me to love myself, accept it the way t is now, not to have a doubt in me, earlier I have problems but now I can found the way solutions for it, earlier I never knew the other remedies but when I have no choice I developed few of my own too... People around are nice, interactive and enthusiastic, obviously they know me, I have worked with tem quite before also during peace keeping missions, training interactions mission, when I came here to investigating unknown virus, when I saved Kankuro and when Gaara came back to life, I was the one who gave him his first treatment and some ways Matsuri too... They respect me for my work and don't sympathy me, among them I never got to know when I was my usual self... among the kids when I train them... a smile comes to my face ,automatically; a laugh surges between their jokes, so this is how it feels to be a sensei... I haven't felt this normal, this humane, and this complete for years...

Even if I am here I have a family, Temari, Kankuro, Matsuri and Gaara. they have been so friendly an helping, I am sure I never saw this side of them especially of Gaara, he is when he is on his seat and he is when helping me through night mares and the family in my hospitals, doctors, nurses, patients, kids and everyone else associated with it and the family in Konoha... I's been a month and I am already filled with letters... it's been a month and Naruto have been here twice, and Ino she still fills me with her gossip and my name has shifted to pink pumpkin from forehead girl, I believe I have gaining maternal fat... my stomach has enlarged a bit, and the baby inside my dearie has been growing well and healthy...

Seriously good things come in small packages.

My small journey from hospital cabin to Kazekage's cabin ended with the soft knock of mine on his door and a calm monotonous reply of
"Come in"
I got my ass inside to saw Gaara doing his paper work well it was actually what I expected.
"Yes Haruno, what is it?"Gaara asked keeping his eyes still on his paper work.
"I want to be your apprentice" said calmly and sulkily, was expecting questions but I was received by a frown on his forehead.
"Just elaborate yourself" he just took an easy way to cut offal his questions top one.
"Well, I am not a shinobi any more, I want to grow stronger to protect my child, I know the day she'll be born she had to face her fate, there are people who want her for her power or want to kill her and I don't want to see her been taken away from me, I want to lean to fight- KARATE to protect her, I know your father trained you in arts of KARATE which you never used but still behold, I want to learn them"
I ended my speech and I didn't notice more than a plea it was like intimidating him and my voice creaked like a debater... sometimes I seriously feel when or how I able to make such a fool of myself.
Gaara was quite for few seconds his cold eyes penetrating through me
"You were the apprentice of Tsunade-Sama before who gave you 3 years yet you were easily taken by the Uchiha, so how come this time will be different, I believe you will be facing him or any other Akatsuki or someone of that level, what makes the difference?"
I was stupefied by his argumentation, I never expected this one coming but I knew, I knew this answer well, my hands automatically shifted to my belly
"Because this time I have someone to fight for" my voice unnerving... my eyes looking straight but nothing exact, I feel the small particles of dust hissing at the entrance of window.
"Sakura Haruno, you are pregnant and if you know any physical training is not allowed after three months of pregnancy, it can cause miscarriage." Gaara was giving scientific notion to a doctor, quite funny in my views.
"I am a doctor, I know about it, with that I know my limitations and obviously I love my child I won't do anything to harm her" My voice modulation have raised but not disrespectful maybe it's human behavior to one's own defense.
There was silence and I know I have answered all his questions; no it's time for conclusion YES or No.
"Ground of town square 4 pm tomorrow"
My eyes light up at the agreement and a smile automatically came to my face, I bowed and greeted "Thank you Kazekage-Sama'
my only reply was the single nod and his waving palm to leave.
I happily turned to out of the room when his voice broke again.
"Haruno" Gaara stopped and after my reflex continued "We had decided to pardon Uchiha Sasuke in this Kage Summit"
my fingers clenching at the door knob at his name...
his name filled me again with demise, hollowness...
"I have to do nothing from him, he is dead or alive I don't care" my voice was like a dead curse...
he actually argued at that notation.
"Haruno if you knew, he has protected you, your child is alive because of him, and you are breathing because of him"
"I just got another sun... I don't want to see the shadows again..."
my voice was hardly noticeable.
I escape, running as I couldn't resist the tear drops falling from my eyes.


{A/N: song time- Allah ke bande- people of god)

Toota Toota Ek Parinda Aise Toota

Broken, broken, one bird/pigeon has broken such that...

Ke Phir Jud Naa Paaya

it could not be put together again.

Loota Loota Kisne Usko Aise Loota

Stolen, stolen, who has stolen it such that...

Ke Phir Ud Naa Paaya

it was not able to fly again.

Girta Hua Woh Asma Se

Falling from the sky, it...

Aakar Gira Zameen Par

Came and fell on the ground.

Khwabon Mein Phir Bhi Badal Hi The

In dreams, there were still clouds.

Woh Kehta Raha Magar

But he kept saying...

Ke Allah Ke Bande Hasde Allah Ke Bande

God's children, laugh, God's children.

Allah Ke Bande Hasde Jo Bhi Ho Kal Phir Aayega

God's children, laugh. Whatever happens, tomorrow will come again.

Kho Ke Aapne Par Hi To Usne Tha Ud Naa Sikha

After losing its wings, it had learnt how to fly.

Kho Ke Aapne Par Hi To O O O

After losing its wings...

Gham Ko Aapne Saath Mein Lele Dard Bhi Tere Kaam Aayega

Take the sorrow with you. This pain will be of use to you.

Allah Ke Bande Hasde Allah Ke Bande...
God's children, laugh, God's children

Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha Har Sapna Jab Woh Toota

Every dream got shattered when he broke down.

Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha

It was shattered.

Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha Har Sapna Jab Woh Toota

Bhikre Tukdon Mein Allah Ki Marzi Ka Manzar Paayega

On these spread apart pieces, you will find God's wishes.

Allah Ke Bande Hasde Allah Ke Bande...


"Do you wake up as I do, having forgotten what it is that hurts or where, until you move? There is a second of consciousness that is clean again. A second that is you, without memory or experience, the animal warm and waking into a brand new world. There is the sun dissolving the dark, and light as clear as music, filling the room where you sleep and the other rooms behind your eyes."
― Jeanette Winterson
