Chapter 11 Reunion

Sakura's eyes widened.

"Sa... Sasuke? What are you... What are you doing here?!"

He still had not let go of her.

"Itachi's dead."

"Oh... I see. So what now? You come here to 'toy with my emotions'? Something to fill your time!"

"No..."

"To break my heart again! No Sasuke! Just... no..."

She walked away from him and once she left the ballroom she began to run upstairs. She released the grip of her fan at the babies' door and looked down at them as they slept.

Sakura broke.

She hugged her knees as she cried quietly, trying not to wake her son and daughter.

'What am I supposed to say to him?
Never mind?
It was nothing important?
And what about these two? They're his children... He probably doesn't even know. How can I tell him? Or... do I just say nothing at all?'

Sakura felt a presence behind her.

"Sakura..."

She said nothing; she could not even look at him. Sasuke looked at the two slumbering children.

'They're cute...'

He knelt down beside her.

"I love you."

"No... you don't," Sakura muttered.

"I do! I will even love your children like they're my own."

Her sobs grew louder. His mother's sobs woke Itachi and the one-year-old looked at her and the man he did not know. Sasuke looked at the boy and the pairs of onyx eyes met and Sasuke could not help but stare. Sasuke slipped off the mask and took Itachi in his arms. Something clicked. It just felt right.

"He's cute," he said to her.

Itachi flicked Sasuke's bang playfully. Sakura looked at her son with his father and she felt a pain in her heart. Itachi never acted this way around Jin. Her son was around Jin for a year and never once smiled at him, he did not know Sasuke but Sakura had a feeling that Itachi knew. Itachi knew the truth. Sasuke placed Itachi in his crib and withdrew, but Itachi caught his hand and wrapped his own around Sasuke's little finger. Sasuke loosened it before walking towards the door and turning to look at the three before saying sadly, "I hope that you're happy."

Sakura wanted to stop him but she heard a shout coming from the hallway, "It's Sasuke Uchiha! Stop him!"

She looked down and saw Sasuke's mask lying beside her, 'Sasuke...'

Her eyes became determined; she had to help Sasuke. It is for her that he was there in the first place right?

Sakura got up and ran out of the room to see many unconcious Cloud ninja. She saw Sasuke running down the hall. "Wait Sasuke!"

He stopped and turned; he smiled softly at her (a rare sight). Sakura dragged him to the room they had moments ago left.

"Saku-"

Her kiss interrupted him.

She opened the window and gave her two children to the startled rouge.

"I can't go with you, not yet. Please... please take care of them."

"Sakura..."

"Go!"

He climbed out of the window and Sakura finally decided to tell him.

"Sasuke you're the-"

"Sakura!"

She turned sharply and jumped out of the way of a kunai on instint then she realised that it was going towards Sasuke.

He had his hands full and so dodged it matrix style and Sakura was relieved that he could use chakra to grip to the wall. Sakura could see a dark silhouette at the door.

"Jin?!"

He slammed her against the wall, sword cold at her neck.

"Trying to leave are you? You belong to me and take my orders!"

Sasuke felt anger rise up and growled evilly (yes evilly leave me and my lack of vocabularly alone).

Jin turned to Sasuke and his eyes narrowed when he saw the two awake children in his arms, "You! Put my children back in their cribs or she dies!"

'Sakura...'

"Ignore him just go!"

"Cloud is betraying the alliance! They're trying to surprise the Leaf with the alliance when they are going to attack and now Konoha is missing one of their best medic Nins," Sasuke announced and Sakura's eyes widened.

She punched Jin but did not feel the usual chakra that made it super-effective. Good came out of it though as he dropped his sword, but instead grabbed her throat. She could feel the chakra leaking through his grip, torturing her.

"I've been putting pills in your food that hinder your chakra... that is why your punch is weak. As for this little move, it is used for torture slowly and painfully killing you. Depending on the area, it can be more painful. Like say..."

He put his hand on her heart that caused more pain then she has ever felt thriugh her entire body.

"AaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" her scream was deafening and Sasuke could no longer stand it.

"This is what you get for trying to take what's mine!" Jin spat and Sasuke placed his foot on the ground.

"But that's just it..." Sasuke laughed, "They aren't yours. THEY'RE SASUKE'S!"

She screamed again in pain and Sasuke felt the same as black wings sprouted from his back and his features changed.

He activated the curse marks second state.

Sakura: Sasuke finally knows... but what now?
Naruto: Yeah... he is in the second state... thirsty for some blood
Sasuke: I still have that f**king curse mark!
Me: Told ya there was more drama
Sasuke: What if I hurt Sakura?
Naruto: And the kids?
Me: Find out!
Sasuke: I hope I just kill Jin...
Sakura: Me too! I don't like him; he doesn't like the adorable babies
Sasuke: And he's torturing you
Sakura: Well... that too
Naruto: (whispers to me) When will I be in it again?
Me: Read and find out! R&R!
