A/N: This is the last time i'll mention this is a 'flash action fic' in which things are supposed to be a little choppy while still making relatively good sense. It's a new writing style I'm trying, so, yeah. Lol. I actually enjoyed this after i finally got it on paper. DO NOT OWN NARUTO!
Chapter 2: Divorced
Sakura had doubled her efforts to make sure the divorce went smoothly. She'd called in a few favors and arranged for a house in D.C. Her mother had sighed, saying that D.C. was not the kind of place you raised a child. Sei and Rori had looked at her and asked if she hated their daddy. Sakura had arched a brow and looked at her mother, who was shocked down to her red toenails. Sakura had since packed up all her and the boys' belongings and they were in boxes in her mother's house. A truck would be there tomorrow morning to pick up the boxes and taken the to their new house in D.C. Sakura's mother had told her, plain and simple, she was going too. Sakura had thrown her arms around her mother and thanked her.
The blonde had laughed and ruffled Sei's hair before picking Rori up. "You didn't honestly think I was going to let you cart my grandsons off without me, did you?" she had replied, so which she'd been pounced on by Sei and Sakura simultaneously. They'd all been laughing when the doorbell rang. Sakura had instantly gone into soldier mode, because no one was supposed to know Sakura was there…except her divorce lawyers. Sakura had opened the door, her emerald eyes sparkling like their gem counterparts. The man at the door had seemed surprised with the cold manner in which he was greeted.
"I'm Torjya Akira from the Children's Health Ministry. I received word from a concerned father that his children may be taken from him sometime soon. Are you," he looked down at his clip board and then back up at her "Uchiha Sakura." Sakura arched a brow at him and turned around, slamming the door in his face. She could hear his knocking as she walked over to her brief case, pull out a copy of both her son's birth certificates and walked back to the door. She yanked the door open and shoved the documents onto his clipboard.
"Both my children are Sabakus. They have been since the day they were born. Sasuke lied to you." she said before slamming the door again. She walked into the kitchen and noticed her mother smirking and both her boys smiling. Sakura laughed and rolled her shoulders. "Oh, that felt so good. I bet Sasuke thought I'd signed that stupid little adoption certificate he'd laid on the kitchen table right after we were married. Sorry Uchiha, but both my boys are Sabakus." she smiled down at her kids. Even though both her sons used her surname of Haruno she knew, deep down, they were both Sabakus.
They laughed and both woman worked to prepare supper. Sakura sat at the kitch table that night, making an outline of all the money she'd spent on her children, medical and otherwise, that had been solely hers and that the only person who'd ever used the money from their joint account had been Sasuke. She provided legal documents and put a sticky note to have someone notarize it tomorrow. Packing everything in her briefcase, she stuck it in her mother's floor safe and then went to the room she'd been sleeping in. There were boxes upon boxes inside, all her things were in this one little room. She sighed and laid on her bed, intent on getting a few hours of sleep.
She was awakened, rather rudely, to hear noise downstairs. She was instantly awake and alert. She had her desert eagle in her hand and loaded it quietly as she crept down the stairs. She used her mother's mirror to see how many were in the kitchen. There were two, one a little taller than the other one. She waited quietly to see if there were any more. A cool hand on her shoulder had her whirling and pointing her gun straight into the very pissed off face of her mother. She mouthed 'sorry' and pointed to the mirror. The older woman looked and noticed the two men, neither of which seemed to be armed. Her mother gave a cruel smile.
Before Sakura could say anything, her mother was down the steps and into the kitchen. She'd never seen the other woman move so fast. With a bellow of rage, her mother dropped her shoulder and rushed the two intruders like a line backer. Both were caught off guard and were taken down by the buff blonde. She had both pinned under her and punched into the floor, splintering the boards by their heads in her anger.
"You come into my house, where my grandsons sleep and snoop around in my daughter's belongings." she growled angrily, making Sakura smirk. She should have known her mother's temper hadn't waned in the twenty years since she'd moved out. She shook her head and reached around the corner for the phone. She picked it up and dialed 911. She calmly explained that she'd heard a noise, gone to investigate and had found two burglars in her mother's kitchen. She then explained to them that the fifty two year old woman had, in a fit of anger, rushed both burglars with no weapon to speak of, and had tackled them and now had them pinned under her in the kitchen. She'd had to repeat the second part four times.
By the time the police arrived, both culprits were tied with panty hose around the leg of her mother's chair. Sakura was crouching in front of the smaller of the two, her eyes narrowed. The police took notice of her desert eagle she had in one had, still loaded with the safety off, and then her dog tags, which hung out of her top and dangled in front of the burglar's face. She stood and put the safety on her desert eagle before sticking it into the back of her shorts. She smiled and held out her hand. "Lt. Commander Haruno Sakura. This is my mother, Sannin Tsunade." she heard noise at the top of the stairs and looked up to see her wide eyed sons at the top of the stairs, she motioned them down and they ran to her, Rori crying. She picked him up, comforting him. Sei glared at the burglars and then up at the police.
"You know mom, this wouldn't have happened if you'd listened to grandma and gotten that big pit bull me and Rori wanted. He'd have eat those jerks alive." the little boy said in a cold voice. Sakura laughed and put her hand on her oldest son's head.
"This is my oldest son, Sei, and my baby, Rori. Their father is currently deployed overseas. I was actually going to meet up with him in D.C. after my divorce was finalized." she heard the curse from the smaller figure and turned her cold emerald eyes to him. "That's right, Sasuke…Gaara's back and when he finds out you beat me, he's going to be really pissed at you." She gave him a wicked smile before she turned her sweet, innocent smile on the police.
"That, gentlemen, is my soon to be ex-husband, Uchiha Sasuke and his accomplice." she didn't really know who the other was, but she had a pretty good idea. Sei walked over to Sasuke and pulled the mask off his face. The black eyed man glared at the boy, who walked over to the other burglar and pulled the mask off that one as well. Sitting on the floor, tied to the table with panty hose, was none other than Uchiha Itachi, attorney at law. Sakura gave a humorless laugh and shook her head.
"When you said that Itachi would help you make sure I was sorry, I never imagined he'd actually help you break into my mother's house and try to steal things. What were you looking for, Sasuke, my briefcase? You should know better than anyone I don't leave that out." she shook her head and then turned emotionless green eyes back to the cops. This was the soldier she'd become.
"Gentlemen, I would like to charge both of them with everything you possibly can, and then some. I can give you all the evidence you need to convict Sasuke of abuse, rape, attempted murder." Sasuke roared with outrage as he tried to get free. She looked down at him, her eyes innocent. "But Sasuke, isn't attempting to shoot your wife out of anger attempted murder? I might not know as much about law as you and Itachi, but I do know that." her eyes slid to her back, where her gun rested and she looked him in the eyes. They were around the same height, about the same weight, but he was clearly stronger than her in a straight fist fight. It was why she'd never been able to fight back when he'd used his strength against her.
"You remember…when I took out my desert eagle and told you to get out? You became angry and rushed me. I was too panicked after the physical and verbal beating you gave me to think straight. You took the gun from me, pointed it at my head, and pulled the trigger. Luckily your aim sucks, because you might actually have killed me had you not shot the crown molding instead." his eyes widened as he realized she was turning this around to where he was the culprit. The cops saw the recognition in his eyes and shook their heads. They went to the two Uchiha's, picked them up, and escorted them out. Sakura didn't even look back. She had things to finish so she could be reunited with Gaara once more.
