Ad Lucem

" In order to get what you want out of life: Decide what you want"

I wish you knew how I know

What you dreamed about

What your thoughts revolved around

and how much I wish you knew

That I wished to not know anymore.

She tried hard to keep her anger in check because she knew she was far too close for her liking to snapping, and the woman in front of her was trembling in fear but she tried disguising her unmistakable fear by shock and plastered that face on, the one she loathed. Of superiority.

She knew herself she was being tapped, because even when the room was supposed to be without use, it was being recorded 24/7 and she would have to be very careful with her actions.

In her feminine and unscarred hands she held a folder. A simple and yellow manila folder, which ironically held the entire career of the woman she was currently looking at.

"Mahaji Liu, age; 29, occupation; nurse," she paused and raised an eyebrow at what was on the text, all acting but the woman still trembled at her raised eyebrow.

"Y-yes?" Liu cleared her throat and clenched her fists as she neared and sat on the metal chair in front of her, "Tell me Liu-san, is it a normal occurrence for you to blow protocol and ignore a patient's chart for possible allergies?" she said, controlling the pitch in her voice and clearly frightening the nurse.

"No, Haruno-sama! I would never do that!" Liu had said but her mind betrayed her, the swift and yet plausible turmoil was there, 'Shit, how did the she know? Was it about the crying brat earlier? Damn it, now I'm dead!' and she grinned wickedly at her.

"We both know that is not true Liu-san, and let me tell you I am not fond of people who defy protocol and jeopardize lives for their own egoistical purposes", she stated, earning a squeak from the woman.

Sakura knew she was a kick-ass medic, that saving lives was what she did but the fact that she could get the truth out of people served a higher purpose in saving lives. And that was how she had started off into helping out in the Interrogation and Intelligence units.

She narrowed her eyes at the bitch in front of her, "Liu-san, I am therefore informing you of your unemployement. I am firing you from Konoha General Hospital, and this incident will go in your file. Your uniform and access cards are to be left with security in tops ten minutes. Have a nice day and if I see you in these facilities in more than the mentiones ten minutes. I will have to resort to force, are we clear?"

The shocked nod she received made her grin and rise from her seat, just as she was leaving the room and a couple of Jounin Shinobi were entering the parameters to escort the woman out of the premises, she turned around, "Oh, and the brat you gave the shot of insulin hours ago, which caused a grave allergic reaction, is my son" and with that she left.

A smile on her face and a sleeping Sanyu in her arms, she walked home under the Spring breeze.

She must have been on her nth cup of sake that afternoon because in front of her was Sasuke Uchiha, the missing nin and ex-pupil of the Snake Sannin, being escorted by Black Ops into her office and being wired and tied to the chair along with three other unknow individuals.

One Shinobi, who was being glared at by Uchiha, handed her the folder with the information she needed to know before interrogating the criminals herself. "Hokage-sama, Sakura-sama already interrogated the prisioners and found no current threats from the Uchiha traitor." She snorted at that, of course she didn't.

But she had learned to trust Sakura with that little gift of hers, it came handy when dealing with headaches such as the Uchiha.

"Alright, contact Sakura and bring her here, will you? I want to know if this traitor brat is lying to me", and she waved a hand while reading the rest of the file. Interesting stuff in here, she thought.

"Hokage-sama, Sakura-chan left early from her office," she narrowed her eyes at Shizune, "And why is that?" why would her student do that? Shizune looked at the prisioners and then quickly shuffled over to me.

"She was very upset over a matter in the staff, and a nurse was fired and escorted by a couple of out Jounin Shinobi. It appears Sanyu was given a letal amount of insulin by the very same nurse and Sakura-chan did not respond well to it", she snorted once more and watched Shizune mutter away, why was she whispering? Oh yeah, prisioners in the room.

I discharged the fact we had traitors in the room, they wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon, and so she turned to Shizune, "Of course she did, Shizune. No one would react kindly to the manslaughter of their kid", she rolled her eyes but caught the glimpse of the Uchiha brat tensing up?

Was that right, was he actually angry at her words? But Sanyu was not really Sakura's kid! …. But he didn't know that! She chuckled to herself and waved Shiznune to go away while she dealed with the kids in front of her.

She sighed and rose from her seat behind her paper stacked desk, "So Uchiha, how old are you? 18, 19 maybe?". No reaction, not much unusual so she turned the pressure up, "I already know everything I need to know from Sakura's report. She actually handled your capture pretty alright", she paused and watched him tense.

"But that much was expected from Konoha's Sweetheart, with a kid and all, why would she still be hung up on the scumbag who betrayed her in order to search for power when she has all the men in the country at her mercy?" she snapped her fingers and laughed out loud at the live entertainment this kid was.

His jaw was so tense, it looked like it would pop anytime soon and he was as tense as an iron pole if not more, she chuckled at the red headed woman beside him, who was seething at the Uchiha's reactions.

"What about them? They look like a copy of Team 7, or at least she does. Were you that lonely, Uchiha? That you had to pick up a copy of Sakura to fuck mercilessly during your journey?" the redhead snarled, and the Uchiha's eyes shone with hate.

"OR was she not good enough either?" and she watched with a wise smirk as the final snap came and instead of Sasuke Uchiha snapping, the red head did. And she snapped big time too. "What the fuck you old hag! I am going to kill you, you hear me? I am no replacement for anyone! Sasuke-kun would never do that to me! I am his future wife!" and she panted away at her rather annoying speech.

She was chuckling to herself when she remembered this was not loyal nin of her village, but rogue nin that had to be questions and her eyes steeled. "Alright girl, I'm only interested in getting to know this young man who Naruto keeps talking about, after all he must be a hell of a man to do all he did. And that's why I'm considering letting you come back to the Village. With a punishment of course" and she watched the priceless reaction of the man with far too much enjoyment.

What the fuck? Sakura had a fucking kid! What was that! She was supposed to wait for him and there she was, fucking around with anyone? What had happened to her?

And then Karin had to be a bitch and start screeching at the hag who happened to be the Hokage to the village where the woman he lusted after lived, not to mention the obnoxious acquaintance of his. He was fucking trying to get out, couldn't she just shut up?

But was what that again? Was he being offered a chance to live in this pitiful Village? His eyes narrowed at the womanly form of the hokage's and all he could think of was her. And her stupid son. And the man who was the kid's father. And how much he wanted to make him suffer.

But he could not do that yet, at least not illegally. He wanted the man to writhe in fear at him, and the only chance he had to do that was by staying in the pitiful Village…

"What do you have in mind?" he all but bit at her and the hag and she just chuckled to herself, she kept talking but he only picked up the important stuff as "Probation for a year and a half" "No training for 6 months" "Anbu escorted", and he nodded.

"Alright Uchiha, as of now you are again a loyal member of Konoha, Do you accept?" it was his turn to speak and he nodded and even though it was not necessary, he knew this was official.

"Hai" and after the whole show, he couldn't miss the bitch Karin's surprised face, Suigetsu's all-too-knowing smirk and Juugo's smile. Fuck them, he needed to find the man who had fucked Sakura before he did. And he would find him.

She smiled at the giggling Sanyu, boy was he filled with energy! A couple of hours ago he was sleeping soundlessly and now after his five hour nap (which she couldn't disrupt due to his angelic face while he slept, it made her feel guilty) he was just so excited to have a movie night/ sleepover with 'Uncle Naruto' and 'Uncle Sai', and that's how anyone would find them.

Sanyu wearing his favorite 'Cars' movie pijamas, with ruffled hair and his teddy under his right arm and a huge grin on his face, Naruto and Sai in only their boxers and her wearing a bra under her black tank and a pair of shorts with knee-high socks.

A couple of years ago, when this odd tradition had started, she had been appalled at her teammates choice of clothing but as time passed, with some horrible blushing fits from her part, she had grown accustomed to their lack of clothing.

And with that they all found themselves in a tangle of bodies on her living room floor and couch, with the lights off and the TV glowing eerily as it played the everlasting 'Cars' Disney movie which she had gotten at a civilian village a couple of months ago and Sanyu had loved it instantly.

Sakura head and hair were sprawled over Sai's stomach and her legs on top of Naruto's legs, who was rather comfortable with his head on a couple of pillows and Sanyu was on her body, his head resting on her chest and Sai was in the same position as Naruto, and as weird as it looked, it was comfortable.

Although it was time to spend with her family as she considered her teammates, she couldn't stop thinking about Sasuke Uchiha and their earlier encounter. She frowned as she recalled his thoughts, so much pain there, and then pride for the killing of his brother.

But what she didn't expect was the sudden thoughts of her, which were surprisingly rather mature from him, as in an R rated mature way. Sasuke Uchiha thinking of Sakura Haruno that way? He really had changed and maybe, not for the good. For now, she'd just have to find out what was going to become of his future, and hopefully he would stay away from them.

Don't get her wrong, if it wasn't for Sasuke and his betrayal, she would have never found herself this way. She would have never found herself as strong as she was and she wouldn't have become the Sakura Haruno she was now.

But the peek inside his mind had provided her information that she hadn't been expecting, he still thought of her as the girl who had screamed a declaration of love years ago, and what scared her is that somewhere deep in her, she still cared for him.

She might not be in love with him anymore, but she still loved him, as a friend would. And it hurt to know that, because she didn't want to. But she would remain loyal to her believes and she would think of this later, Sanyu was giggling into her chest and she laughed too.

This was the few chances they had to spend as a family and she would enjoy it. she'd think of Sasuke later.
