Chapter 4

"So Sasuke. You're here to find out your punishments..." Tsunade started as Sasuke walked through the doors, the Anbu Black ops by both of his sides. "Because you can't get away with what you did."

"Hn." Was all Sasuke could say to that, or grunt. He didn't see he did anything that bad. He left without permission was one... And training under Orochimaru Sasuke guessed was another, they should at least be grateful he killed Orochimaru.

"Well for starters you cannot leave the village. Your missions will be inside of the village. And if you must leave the village, you will be accompanied by someone under my orders, you got that? And second of all, I know you probably don't have much money, so I will give you some. It will last you about a month so you can get started." She said as she handed Sasuke a small pouch of money no larger than his palm.

"Thanks."

"Alright, you may leave." She said while she turned her back to him, looking out her large window behind her desk.

Sasuke started walking through the streets again, with the Anbu not to far behind. He was almost near the Uchiha district when somebody had said something behind him.

"Hey Sasuke." A voice said, causing Sasuke to turn around. It was of course, his old Sensei, Kakashi Hatake.

"Hey."

"I was thinking, maybe we could have a sparring match? To see where your level is it? How about it." He said, you may not be able to tell whether Kakashi was smiling or not, but the tone of his voice sure did.

"Sure." Sasuke replied and started to follow Kakashi to the training field. It brought a lot of memories back to Sasuke, like when Naruto was tied to the log and he had to give him his food. Was Kakashi purposely bringing him here for that purpous?

Sasuke stopped walking summoned his clone and handed Mikoto off to the clone and it waited at the sidelines. Now he was ready to fight Kakashi.

"I'm going to work on my Rasen Shuriken." Naruto beamed as he turned his head towards Sakura. They were both headed towards the training field, Sakura had specifically said it was not a date between them. Naruto was convinced she still had the hots for Sasuke. Which she then hit him over the head and stopped talking.

"Hey look! There's Sasuke!" Naruto cheered as he ran over to 'Sasuke'. Sakura then noticed it was not Sasuke but just a clone and ran over as well.

"It's not him it's a clone, Naruto!" Sakura scoffed with an 'Are you an idiot?' tone while he looked over at her with a blank face.

"Where's the real Sasuke?" Sakura questioned while taking in the childs beauty.

"Training with Kakashi."

"Oh I see them!" Naruto shouted when he looked over at the training field to their left.

"Can I...Hold her?" Sakura asked with pleading eyes at the clone. He shrugged and handed the baby off into Sakura's awaiting arms.

"Hi there!" Sakura cooed while looking into the girls obsidion eyes. "Is that your binky?" (Binky is a pacifier) The girl just hopelessly looked up at the woman infront of her. She made a couple of baby noises, namely gurgling and giggling.

"She's soo cute." Sakura giggled while letting the child latch onto her finger. Sakura looked up and saw Sasuke and Kakashi walking up to her.

"Here." She handed Mikoto off to her father and smiled. "She's adorable Sasuke."

"Hn."

"Say Sasuke, was she planned?" Naruto blurted out, then reacting to what he had said and covered his mouth with his palm.

"No." To be honest Sasuke could barely even remember what happened that night. And why he slept with the girl.

Sasuke had arrived at the hideout with Orochimaru and some others at six in the evening, and Sasuke had no clue why they were there, but he thought nothing of it. The others in their group were some people Orochimaru was going to test on, and Kabuto was not there, which also surprised Sasuke, seeing as how they were always together.

Sasuke found himself a room where no one else was, to give him peace of mind of course, and so he could brood alone. He sat on a small brown sofa, letting out a small exhausted sigh, he set his sword against the wall beside him and hung his head back.

Sasuke was able to rest in peace for about half and hour before Orochimaru had came in with two drinks.

"I imagine your thirsty Sasuke, so I brought you a drink." Orochimaru grimaced while taking a seat beside Sasuke.

Sasuke took the drink and looked closely into it. Why wouldn't he take the drink? A drink was a drink to him so he would take it. Sasuke took a small sip and cringed at the taste.

'What the hell is this?' He thought as his mouth twisted up on the inside. But he was thirsty and this was probably the only chance he would get to have something to drink so he took another sip. This time it wasn't so bad, he was geting used to the sour taste.

In the corner of his eye he could see Orochimaru grinning ear to ear, watching him with those snake eyes. Sasuke could tell something was going to happen, but his mind was getting blurry and fuzzy, causing his thoughts to be vanished.

"Lord Orochimaru!" A man burst through the door with fear and anger on his face. Orochimarus grin turned into a frown and he snapped his head towards the door.

"What? What is it?" He hissed at the man.

"Subject 81 has escaped!" He cried while gripping his arm. It was bleeding. Orochimaru took one last look at the confused Sasuke and got up.

"Fine. I'll be back Sasuke." He said as he stalked out of the room and towards the commotion.

While Orochimaru was gone Sasuke took one last sip of the mysterious drink and let the glass fall out of his hand and onto the floor, shattering.

'It's cold in here.' He thought while he got up. He grabbed his sword and dragged it behind him, walking out of the room.

He was going to go find a warmer place other than that specific room. He walked aimlesly down some hallways, then down somemore hallways until he dropped onto his butt beside a door. He felt numb and cold, and surprisingly horny. For some reason.

'This is the room that I'll stay in.' He stated in his mind before getting up and opened the handle. The door opened wide and he saw someone sitting on the bed.

"Who the hell are you?" She hissed while glaring at him with emerald green eyes. (Obviously Kaeda)He chuckled and started to reply.

"I am Sasuke." He stated as he dropped his sword onto the ground.

"And why are you here?"

"Because you're so pretty." He walked over to her bed and looked right into her eyes. Her eyes were full of question. She was probably asking herself a question along the lines of, 'what is he on?'

And what was he on? Probably something in that drink of Orochimarus.

He sat on her bed beside her and was too close for her comfort level.

She was so busy thinking of what was wrong with him until he slammed his mouth against hers, pinning her to the bed while he straddled her hips.

Kaeda was about to object but then a thought crossed her mind.

'What if she wanted this?' She agreed with her head and let Sasuke do as he pleased with her.

"Damn it!" Orochimaru yelled when he had returned back to the room. He ran his slender white fingers through his fine black hair and let out a frusterated sigh.

'Where the hell is Sasuke?' Orochimaru groaned in his head while leaving the room.

x

When Sasuke awoke he was started by what he saw. He was naked, in a bed with an unkown woman. He didn't remember what had happened the night before but he quickly jumped out of the bed and pulled his clothes on.

Sasuke looked up and saw a girl around his age looking at him with a devious smile. (Mizuki)

"Tch." He grunted as he grabbed his sword and scurried out of the room.

(Boy, I felt like a troll writing that! xD)

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled while he waved a hand infornt of Sasuke's face. Sasuke shook his head and looked at Naruto angrily.

"What do you want?"

"You zoned out Sasuke!" Sakura mentioned with a smile on her face.

"Whatever. I'm going home." Sasuke grunted as he walked past Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura.

"I wonder what he was thinking about..." Sakura mumbled as Sasukes' figure slowly disapeared.

It's been about five months since Sasuke has been in Konoha. He was taking missions regularly with a sitter for Mikoto of course. And it just had to be Sakura. Sasuke didn't know why she was so enticed by his daughter but he'll let it be for now.

"I've got to go now." Sasuke stated as he leaned against the doorframe of the livingroom. Sakura was sitting in an armchair wtih Mikoto in her lap and playing with her.

"Oh ok. Be safe." She called out as Sasuke slid open the front door and left.

Sakura put Mikoto on a small green blanket in the living room that had a coupel toys for her to play with.

"I'm going to get you some food." Sakura said as she walked to the kitchen. She pulled out a bottle of mashed fruits and with ease she opened the tight cap. When Sakura walked back to the kitchen Mikoto had crawled towards Sakura and looked up at her with big black eyes.

"Ok come here." Sakura gushed and placed the food on the end table of the couch. She sat the giggly girl on her lap and brought a spoonful of the food to her mouth and she happily ate it.

It was funny. Whenever Sakura witnessed Sasuke trying to feed her, she would never let him feed her. Sasuke would end up getting frustrated and give up and let Sakura feed her. Sakura didn't think that Mikoto didn't love her own father because she did. Whenever her dad would come back from a mission she would end up being so clingy. Sakura would just like to think that Mikoto liked her.

Hours later Sasuke had arrived back from a mission with Naruto. Sakura looked up from playing with the child and turned to Sasuke with Mikoto in her arms. She walked towards him and handed the child into his arms.

"Say Sasuke. When's her birthday?" Sakura inquired with a small smile.

"October 18th." He said while walking over to the couch and plopping down onto it. Sakura smiled when she saw the little girl snuggle up to him, like she always did when he came home.

"That's pretty soon. Seeing as how it's september 15th." Sakura put a finger to her chin and pondered.

"Why?"

"Just wondering. I mean, she has to have a birthday." Sakura mumbled with a smile while she slipped on her boots. "Well I've got to go. I have a shift tonight at the hospital!"

"Thanks."

"No problem!" She waved her hand from behind her as she quickly left his house. She rubbed her cheeks from the chilly september wind while the wind pulled her hair along with it. She would have to get ready for her shift at the hospital soon and that shift would take the whole night till the early hours. Then she would barely get any sleep because she promised to watch Mikoto again. But after tomorrow Sasuke would be at home for a couple days so she would get some sleep then.

Tsunade wanted Sasuke to be paying Sakura for her help but Sakura could not accept any money. She really just wanted to help out, which stressed Tsunade to no end.

Sakura unlocked her house with a small golden key and changed her clothes for the weather. Some simple blue track sweats and a black sweater.

She locked her house back up and walked towards the hospital.

Sasuke treaded down the hallway as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. It was the middle of the night and he was only in his PJ bottoms when he heard crying. He opened the door and looked at her from the doorway.

Mikoto sniffled and stood up in her crib and held onto the crib rail.

"What is it now?" He grumpily sighed as he walked towards the sniffling child. He lifted her from her armpits and rested her on his hip.

"You want food?" He asked. She looked up with big eyes. That probably meant yes because whenever he said food she'd usually do that.

He set her down on the table and grabbed a bottle of food from the fridge and sat down in front of her. He opened the bottle and he hoped she would eat it, for once. She would always eat it when Sakura fed her but never when he did.

He pulled the spoonful of food in front of her mouth. She squished her lips together and wouldn't let him feed her.

"You wanted food so here it is." He mumbled angrily as he tried once again to feed her. She ate this one spoonful but the next she let it dribble out of her mouth and onto her jamies. She began to giggle furiously when he got angry.

'Does she do this to piss me off?' He asked himself when he wiped the food off her jamies.

She finally let up and ate her food without further problems, to Sasukes surprise. He carried her back to her room and lifted her into her crib. He tucked hre back in and she dozed off finally.
