Fourteen
A blonde head caught Sasuke's attention; he didn't hesitate or think twice about whipping out his hand and grabbing a hold of her shoulder.
"Naruto, I know it's you so don't try to escape now." Sasuke said with a dangerous tone in his voice.
Naruto slowly turned back around to face Sasuke; her heart was beating fast against her ribcage. 'My god all of the feelings I had for this guy have suddenly come crashing back.' She also remembers the feel of his lips against her own. The power he held against her.
"So long time no see Naruto. What are you doing here? I assume that you haven't been wondering around Tokyo for the last three fucking years."Sasuke said, his tone of voice was contradicting the calmness on his face.
"It's none of your concern." Naruto said with a cold tone. She was about to walk away when Sasuke grabbed her upper arm making her wince in pain.
"Sasuke let go, you're attracting people's attention." Naruto said looking around at the people who had stopped in the hallway to watch the argument. She was trembling at his hold.
"Does it like I care Naruto-chan?"
"Let go… please" Naruto stammered as she tried her best to struggle against his hold.
"Do you think it's going to be easy for you to escape me again? Well think again."
"Sasuke, is there a problem here?" Shikamaru asked, breaking the tension between Sasuke and Naruto as well as making his presence known.
Sasuke growled before sparing a glance at his friend "What is it Shikamaru?" his hold tightening.
"I'm here to give you the monthly report, Miss. Uzumaki why don't you go to your position?" Shikamaru said eyeing the blonde girl in front of him.
"Uh, sir I was about to do that when…" Naruto said awkwardly motioning to her and Sasuke's hold over her arm.
"Sasuke would you mind letting go of our employee?" Shikamaru asked looking pointedly at Sasuke.
Sasuke looked like he was going to disagree when slowly he let go of her arm, but still holding his sharp look towards Naruto.
"Uh, sir I'm going to go now." Naruto said as she bowed to the two of them before quickly heading inside her work.
As Naruto entered the store, she could feel the gazes of her co-employee's eyes glaring at her, probley trying to find the new gossip. "What's wrong with them?" Naruto thought as she opened the door to her locker.
"Naruto, what happened between you and our boss?" Yuukie asked as she whispered in Naruto's ear.
"Boss?" Naruto asked confused.
"Yeah the good looking guy outside, the one who was holding you arm just a minute ago." Yuukie said eyeing her things inside her own locker.
"Uchiha Sasuke? You mean…" Naruto said looking at her friend.
"Yeah, he's the owner of the shop. He is so handsome Naruto." Yuukie said while giggling.
Both girls made their way out of the locker rooms and started serving customers. All the while Naruto was trying to make sense of what had happened.
Closing time
"Yeah honey…I'll be home, yes… don't worry… See you soon, I love you…" Naruto said to her daughter on the other side of the phone, she hanged up with a smile on her face.
"So are you finished saying good bye to your lover?" Sasuke asked angrily. He had heard her saying I love you to the person on the other side, for some reason it made him feel angry.
"It's none of your business." Naruto said as she tried to hail a taxi, speeding down the street.
"Where is my child?" Sasuke all of a sudden burst out.
"Child? What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb Naruto; you know that I knew that you were pregnant when you disappeared from Konoha two years ago, so tell me where my child is?" Sasuke demanded
"What if I said I aborted the child?" Naruto asked raising her brows.
"You wouldn't do that to your own child, I remember what you said to me back then."
Flash back
"No! I'm not going to abort this child. Yes I'm pregnant but I will never do what you want to our child."
End of Flash Back
"Just stop messing up my life and leave me alone."Naruto said as she snapped out of her memories.
Sasuke grabbed her arm to prevent her from walking away. "Let go, you're hurting me!" Naruto said as she tried to break free of his hold.
"Don't fool around, I know my child is with you so let me see them" Sasuke said with ferocity in his voice.
Naruto couldn't hold her tears in"Why would I let you see my child? She's mine!"
"She's mine too; remember 'we' made her together so I have a right to see her." Sasuke shouted attracting attention from the other people walking down the street.
"What will you do when you see her? Take her away from me? I will never let you do that!" Naruto said as the tears streamed down her face.
"Only if you don't let me see my daughter, remember Naruto she's mine too." Sasuke said pointing out his rights.
"Why do you care just now, huh? Before you didn't want her and now…what's with the 'I want to see my child?" That's unbelievable!"Naruto said angrily.
"Yes your right, but that is in the past now and I realized how I need you in my life…both of you." Sasuke said making Naruto's heart beat faster in her chest. She wanted to believe him but the pain he caused her before was fighting against the love she had for him in her heart. Plus she already told Itachi that they could work things out, it's just that her situation is too complicated.
There he is…Sasuke, the one she truly loves, the father of Kaoru, but what about Itachi? He had always been there for her whenever she needed him.
"Let me into your life again." Sasuke said caressing her cheeks softly leaning down to Naruto's level to kiss her.
'He is going to kiss me but I can't, I'm going to be unfair if I let him kiss me. What will I do about Itachi?'
Their lips almost touched the others when Naruto's phone suddenly rings out of the blue. Sasuke muttered curses under his breath while Naruto decided to answer the call. "Hello" Naruto started.
"Hi, how's my beautiful blonde?" said the voice on the other end.
"Why do you call?" Naruto asked quietly, she didn't want Sasuke to know that the caller was his older brother.
"Why can't I call you? I've missed you're voice Naruto and I missed Kaoru too."
"Uh…yeah, I've missed you too" Naruto said awkwardly
Sasuke was getting irritated now; hearing Naruto say stuff about missing them to the person on the line was making his blood boil. "Who's that?" An irritated Sasuke asked.
"Who's that Naruto? Are you with someone?" Itachi asked over the line.
"Ah…anou, I'll just call you later ok? Bye!" Naruto said as she hung up.
Naruto turned to look back at Sasuke only to see him glaring at her. "What's wrong with you?" She asked as she returned his glare.
"Who called you?" Sasuke demanded.
"I'm afraid that it's not of your concern Uchiha-san." Naruto said as she waved her hand at the approaching bus.
New York…
Itachi put his cell phone back in the pocket of his pants, thinking hard after Naruto hung up. He heard a very familiar voice in the background of the call. He will find out about his suspicion once he goes back to Tokyo.
"Itachi"
Itachi turned to look at the familiar voice who just called him. "Father"
Fugaku slowly walk passed Itachi, looking at the view of New York from his office window. "I know what you have been doing,"
"What are you saying father?" Itachi said playing the dumb card.
"Don't play dumb, you know that I know what you are doing so stop seeing her." Fugaku said sternly.
Itachi smiled. "I'm sorry father but I love her and you can't tell me what to do or not. I'm old enough now to decide for myself." Itachi said.
"Are you disobeying me?" Fugaku asked, losing his patience with his eldest son.
"No father I'm not disobeying you, I'm just choosing my happiness and right now Naruto is my happiness." Itachi said with a serious face.
"So what are we going to do now?" Sasuke asked as he was getting impatient. They were currently outside Naruto's apartment. "I've already told you not to follow me." An irritated Naruto replied.
"As if I wouldn't follow you just because you said not to." Sasuke said sarcastically.
"Yes, well thank you" she said in mocking tone.
"Mom your home!" Kaoru said happily hugging her mother while Sasuke's eyes widen in recognition when he saw the familiar kid who he had just met this morning. 'So that's why she was so awfully familiar, her eyes, hair and her face pretty much resemble him.'
"I missed you honey." Naruto said hugging her daughter back.
"So, she is my daughter." Naruto could feel Sasuke's temper rising, he was beyond furious now. Sasuke was clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white.
"Oh hey Mom you're with Uncle Sasuke! This is the guy that I was telling you about this morning." Kaoru said smiling at her Mom and to their visitor.
"Naruto you have lots of explaining to do…to our daughter." Sasuke said having a venomous tone.
"Mom, you already know Uncle Sasuke?" Kaoru looked confuse now looking between the two adults.
"I'm not your uncle, I am your father-" Sasuke said
"No, Sasuke you're going to confuse her." Naruto tried to cut him off.
"No! You're not my father; my father's name is Itachi!" Kaoru exclaimed
Naruto looked in horror as she watched Sasuke's face turn to surprise then turned again to anger. "So brother knew all along, all of these fucking years. This is absurd! You told our daughter that her father is Itachi, of all fucking people."Sasuke said he felt betrayed by his own brother.
"No you're not my father!" Kaoru shouted again.
"You need to learn how to respect your father." Sasuke said.
"But Mom!" Kaoru protested
"Kaoru, I'm sorry but the truth is that he is your father." Naruto said referring to Sasuke.
"But what about Otou-san, you love him right mother?" Kaoru asked with teary eyes.
"Yes why don't you answer your daughter Naruto, do you love Itachi or not?" Sasuke asked angrily, his patience was getting low.
Naruto shook her head. "Kaoru this is not the right time for that, it's pretty late now and you need to sleep."
"Wait! Why don't you answer our daughter, huh?" Sasuke asked looking sharply at Naruto.
"Sasuke please stop trying to make things so complicated, please Sasuke just go." Naruto said with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Ok, but you can't stop me from seeing you and my daughter."Sasuke said before he turned away, walking back down the street.
"Mom?"
"Don't worry Kaoru; everything's going to be okay." Naruto said assuring her daughter. 'Everything should be ok…'
With Sasuke
'Damn you brother, for all these fucking years you made me look so dumb, making me a fool. I swear now that I have found my family I will take them away from you just like you did to me, you traitor.' Sasuke thought angrily while walking to where he left his car.
New York
"Yes, book me a flight… I'm going back to Tokyo as soon as the summit is over…okay, thank you." Itachi said as he hung up the phone. Suddenly a pair of soft hands covered his eyes from behind.
"Guess who?" the voice asked while giggling.
Itachi just sighed before removing the hands from over his eyes and turning around. "Sakura, what are you doing here?" Itachi asked as he looked at his fiancée.
Sakura pouted cutely. "Why? Don't you miss me?"
'Well…how can I say this?' He thought dejectedly.
Tokyo
"Damn, I can't concentrate." Sasuke said as he slammed the pile of paper on his table, making Shikamaru wince from the impact.
"What is wrong with you Sasuke? Not in the mood?" Shikamaru asked as he boringly scanned documents in his hand.
Sasuke glared at Shikamaru. "Well apparently."
"Well you don't need to be that grumpy." Shikamaru said flatly.
"Naruto, you can't do this." Yuukie said while holding her arm.
"But Yuukie I need to do this, so please let go of me." Naruto said as she tried to take Yuukie's hand off her.
"Listen Naruto, you need this job. What about your studies? What about Kaoru, huh? Please Naruto? Please don't leave me here."Yuukie said with puppy dog eyes.
"What's happening here?" Sasuke demanded "Ms. Kurosowa? Ms. Uzumaki?"
"Ah, it's noth-
"Uh, sir I need to talk to you." Naruto said stepping forward, cutting off Yuukie.
Sasuke turned to look at Naruto before answering. "Okay, follow me."
Inside Sasuke's Office.
"So, what do you want?" Sasuke asked Naruto as he leaned against his swiveling chair.
"Here sir, open it please." Naruto said as she put the envelope on Sasuke's desk.
"I know what that is." Sasuke said looking at her emotionlessly.
"So everything's clear?"
Sasuke smirked. "So you want me to accept your resignation?" He said ignoring her question, answering with his own.
"Yes sir." Naruto said formally.
"I'm not going to accept your resignation." Sasuke said as he threw the paper in the bin beside his desk.
"But sir, I really need to resign…I-"
"I don't care about whatever reason it is you have, I need you here." Sasuke said as he slowly approached Naruto. Seeing Sasuke's actions she automatically started to walk backwards to avoid any contact, it turned out to be a very wrong move. She was now being pinned to the wall by Sasuke, with his arms on either side of her face.
"Sasuke what are you doing? Stop this!" Naruto said as she tried to escape him.
Sasuke was leaning awfully close and Naruto's heart skipped a beat, as their lips almost brushed against each other. To her dismay Sasuke left her lips only to plant a kiss to her ear lobe. "Sasuke, no this isn't right." Naruto tried to push him off her but she felt weak, as if Sasuke was sucking all the energy out of her body. Sasuke continued his ministrations as he kissed and licked her neck.
"Sasu-… Sasuke stop." Naruto said in a whimper.
Naruto felt Sasuke smirk against her skin, making her shiver.
"Why Naru-chan? Didn't you miss me?" Sasuke asked huskily, as he lifted his head to look in Naruto's sapphire eyes.
"No" Naruto said firmly
"Oh really? Because it didn't seem like that awhile ago, you're enjoying it." Sasuke said teasingly.
Naruto is about to slap him but he caught her wrist. "Oh no you don't." Sasuke said.
"Let go of me or else." Naruto demanded
"Or else what?" Sasuke asked confidently.
"Or else…I'll shout for help." Naruto said seriously.
"I would like to see you try." Sasuke said smirking
"Hel-
Naruto was about to shout for help when Sasuke kissed her full on the lips. She gasped in surprise letting Sasuke deepen the kiss.
'Oh no wrong move, you're supposed to close your lips to prevent him from kissing you not to gasp.' Naruto thought as she was fighting against her mind. To push him off her or just surrender to the kiss and let the pleasures consume her. But it seems like her heart was winning and just seconds later she was kissing him back.
His rough kiss turned passionate, he tried to convey all his love into the one kiss before it ended because he knew it would and it would happen sooner rather than later.
'This is so wrong but it feels so right.' Suddenly Itachi appeared in her mind making her felt guilty. Naruto managed to gather all of her strength as she pushed Sasuke off her, breaking their kiss.
"What the hell? What's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked irritated that Naruto broke the kiss. "That was the last time that you will ever do that to me again." Naruto said as tears streamed down her face.
"What's wrong with you, huh? Just moments ago you were enjoying it as much as I was." He said, hurt by her actions.
"This is wrong, I can't."The last words came out as a whisper.
"Why can't you? Is it because of Itachi?" Sasuke asked glaring at Naruto.
Naruto returned his glare. "What if I said yes?"
That made Sasuke's blood boil, he grasped Naruto's upper arm making her shiver. "Stop, let me go."
Sasuke leaned over her until he reached her ears. "Remember this Naruto, your mine. Not Itachi's, Mine. Hear that? Sasuke said darkly.
