Chapter 6 Too Good to be True...
It was morning; Sakura's head was on Sasuke's bare chest and was wrapped in his arms. She suddenly felt his warmth leaving her and she heard the door closing silently minutes later. She opened her eyes and quickly put on her clothes. She then saw a note on the bedside table.
Sakura,
Don't tell Jugo and the others about what happened last night.
Trust me, it's better if this is kept between you and me.
Sasuke,
P.S. Hope ypu slept well.
:)
Sakura laughed softly at the last line. She knew he was right; it would be best. Sakura sighed.
Sakura walked downstairs to see Sasuke eating his breakfast as Karin attempted to flirt with him. Anger inside Sakura bubbled and she tried to keep her inner at bay.
Sakura's inner-self cracked her knuckles, 'LET'S BLOW HER TO PIECES! CHA!'
She sat beside Karin, across from Sasuke and he didn't need to say 'good morning'. She felt a foot rubbing up against her leg.
When she realised it was Sasuke she thought, 'Wanna play footsie, huh? Talk about being normal'
Then she inwardly smirked when she noticed Karin continuing to flirt with the raven-haired young man.
She played his game and earned a small triumphant smirk from the Uchiha but Karin did not notice. The moment when she thought Sasuke would give a more noticible reaction Jugo and Suigetsu joined them and Sakura withdrew her foot. Sasuke almost looked disappointed, "Eat your breakfast and then we're leaving."
***
A few days later, Sakura was once again flying through the trees, slung over Sasuke's shoulder. The day before Sakura noticed that Sasuke seemed quieter. He did not play any of his games and it seemed he almost looked sad as if he over-looked something, found it, and did not like it.
Suddenly, she felt Sasuke stopping and letting her down, "You guys go on ahead."
Karin smirked at Sakura triumphantly as if she knew something Sakura didn't. Jugo and Suigetsu nodded and gave sad glances at Sakura. The three leapt into the trees.
"Sasuke, are you okay? You seem... unsettled since yesterday."
Sasuke untied her, "We are in the forest, Konoha isn't far off from here. Go home."
"Nani? Why don't you come too? Come back to the Leaf..."
"Tsk! You are just as weak and pathetic as I remember."
"But what about-"
"Annoying too. I'm nineteen, I have needs and the only other girl was Karin, don't look into it."
She was crying now, she couldn't help it.
"Besides," he continued though she wished he would stop, "Kinda revenge for the guy who almost got us killed. Nah... never mind that, it was fun toying with your emotions."
She couldn't bear to listen to it any longer and sprinted away from him to Konoha, her home, her safe place.
Sakura did not look back to see Sasuke look disgusted with himself. Nevertheless, he knew it was necessary to get her to Konoha. He thought of his dream, no... nightmare of her getting killed by his brother and realised it was his worst fear.
'I have to make sure that never happens... all the more reason to kill Itachi'
***
'I never should have trusted him, how could I be so... so... stupid!'
Sakura wiped away her tears.
'Every time I have hope he destroys it leaves more damage than before'
She was never so glad to see the village gates. She ran through the gates not caring about the stares she got. She burst through the doors of Tsunade's office.
The Fifth Hokage and Naruto looked and in union shouted the young kunoichi's name. The two blondes raced over to her hugging her, inspecting her and asking her so many questions and Sakura told them everything that happened.
***
"That Teme-basterd! I can't believe he did that... when I get my hands on him!"
Tsunade stopped him, "Naruto, that's enough! Sakura maybe you should go to the hospital..."
"I'm not hurt," Sakura said shaking her head.
'Not physically anyway'
"I'm sorry but I'm going home... could you tell people I'm back for me?"
Tsunade nodded and Sakura left. Naruto followed.
***
It had been a week since Sakura's return and many people visited her. Ino arrived crying and hugging her while Sakura assured her she was fine. Luckily, for Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi, Tsunade and understandably Hinata were the only ones to know the full story. Ino gave her the gossip, telling her that Hinata was pregnant (which Sakura could already tell because of the thrilled father), Ino was now with Choji (something Sakura could tell due to Ino's grin), Shikamaru and Temari's baby was born and named Mia, Kiba and Ayame were engaged and Neji announced that Tenten was five five months pregnant.
Sakura was so happy that her friends did not worry too much. Kakashi visited and Sakura had to explain to him that he will make a great dad ad not to doubt himself for a minute.
Naruto, of course, visited every day as if she was away on a mission for two weeks instead of being with his best friend who took the wrong path.
***
Sakura could not believe her eyes when she saw her 'fiance'; the Raikage's son and he explained that they still had to marry. He explained that this time they would spend a month living together in the Cloud before they wed there.
Tsunade was furious and Naruto couldn't believe it (heh heh, believe it!). Sakura thought of Sasuke and said that for the alliance... she would do it.
***
The month was almost up and Sakura decided to go to the doctor's because she felt ill. The doctor came back with a look that she was about to give Sakura big news, good or bad; she was not sure.
"Congragulations, you're seven weeks pregnant."
"Nani?! Pregnant!"
"Hai, with twins."
Sakura felt like she was about to cry, because they were definetly Sasuke's babies!
Naruto: OMG! I'm gonna be a dad! OMG! I'm gonna be an uncle to Sasuke and Sakura's twins!
Sasuke: And I'm still a rouge! How could you make me leave her like that?
Me: You have good reasons... and besides who left who on a bench?
Sasuke: She's going to marry some jerk!
Naruto: Ha ha! Teme's jealous. You know I should try makin' some babies with Hinata...
Me: Knew it!
Naruto: Nani?
Me: You like Hinata
Naruto: (blush)
Sasuke: (whispers) I would never do that to you, just so you know
Sakura: I know
Naruto and Me: Ohh... SasuSaku moment
Sasuke and Sakura: (DEATHGLARE)
Naruto and Me: (cowers in fear) Heh heh... Read and Review!
