Chapter Seven

"A 'thank you' would be nice" Sakura muttered under her breath which didn't go unheard by Sasuke, he snapped up to glare at her and she just rolled her eyes at Sasuke's attempt to intimidate her. That's so not gonna happen.

"You're annoying" Sasuke scowled at the girl and continued to eat his soup.

"You're a jackass" Sakura smirked triumphantly as she saw Sasuke snarling. 'I bet no one has ever talked back at you like that, huh jackass?' Inner Sakura was cheering and doing a victory dance. Her Inner stopped as she felt the murdering aura around the boy who was trying to keep from killing his wife.

"You better learn to control your mouth, it could get you killed" Sasuke warned the girl who seem to not give a shit what he said. This girl wasn't the same girl the two nights before she was fiercer, more stubborn, and braver. It kind of made her look at her differently, he kind of respected her now.

"How about you control you tendency to be a dickhead and I might consider controlling my mouth?" Sakura smirked at him and her voice laced with sarcasm. His eyes widened at the girl's sudden boldness, 'where the fuck did she pull all these courage out?' was what his mind repeated like a broken record.

"You're anno-" Sasuke frowned that he was cut off by this foolish girl.

"Annoying, yes. I know. Tell me something I don't know" Sakura rolled her emerald eyes at the man and brought her dish towards the sink to wash it. She knew she was pushing buttons and crossing an imaginary line by cutting him off but right now she just did not give a damn anymore.

"Weak" Sasuke snarled at her and before he could stand up his chair he was slammed into the wall and he saw the girl with her arm extended. He saw a dent in the wall and he saw cracks. He felt a few of his ribs have cracked and he saw red, blood was trailing down his face from his head.

"That will teach you to not mess with me!" Sakura huffed off as she made her way back to her room, she closed the door with a loud slam. He saw some of the hinges loosened and he steadied himself up. He frowned as he replayed the happening earlier, it was to fast for him to remember.

He couldn't believe it, she landed a hit on him.

Sakura was sitting on her bed with a triumphant smile plastered on her face. The adrenaline rush that she felt after her fist connected with his oh so beautiful jaw, the sickening crack made her feel as if she was alive. The sadistic side of her was overthrowing her medic side who made her feel a tiny bit guilty about breaking his jaw and probably his ribs.

She contemplated on whether she should apologize and heal him or just forget that ever happened, she chose the latter she defended it with a line that said 'He deserved it'. Sakura laid in her bed, she closed her eyes for a bit and decided to calm herself. A soft knock was heard on her door and she opens it to see a little boy with spiky raven locks who was looking up at with teary jade eyes. Her heart broke at the scene of the young boy with a small rabbit in his arms sniffling.

He was shaking a bit, the young boy looked absolutely terrified. Sakura knelt in front of him and wrapped her arms around the little boy. He sobbed as he hugged her back, he was unbelievably quiet. Whatever he dreamt about or saw would have shook him so bad.

"Ka-a, Kaa-, kaa-, Kaa-ch-, Kaa-chan, Kaa-chan" He stuttered and had such a hard time forming words. He bit his lower lip and tried to wipe of the tears on his face with his stuffed bunny. She carried him and sat on the bed with Tobi on her lap and she traced circles on his back.

"What's wrong dear?" Sakura kissed his hand, and his cheeks. She sighed as the boy continued to hiccup in her arms. He looked so sad, and so heartbroken that it killed her. This little boy that she had already accepted as her own looked like he had witness the murder of someone, she sighed bitterly as she shook of the memory of her parents murder which happened right in front of her eyes.

"Tou-san, tou-san.. He.. He's deaaaaaaaaaaaaad" Tobi wailed as he said the word dead. He buried his face in his hands and sobbed. Sakura's eyes widened, she couldn't have, she didn't punch him that hard. She was alarmed at the news her son brought her. Did she kill him? Was she the reason for Tobi's unhappy state?

"Let's look at Tou-san okay? He's strong and stubborn. He won't die, okay?" Sakura assured herself more than anyone else. She took a deep breath and sighed as she lifted the boy into her arms. They walked towards Sasuke's room and Sakura was praying to Kami-sama to not let her husband be dead, please Kami-sama.

"Sasuke" She called as he saw his bloody form on the bed, he was breathing evenly which signified that he was asleep. He was sleeping on a white bed covered in his own blood, this idiot didn't even bother getting healed before he dozed off. She scowled at the figure and Tobi started to wail again.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke rubbed his eyes as he opened them to see the rosette woman scowling and his son who was wailing in her arms. He stared at his son, silently asking her what was wrong with him.

"He thought you were dead" Sakura rolled her emerald eyes and placed one hand on her hip. She placed the young Uchiha down and proceeded to heal Sasuke's injuries. Tobi watched curiously, he was amazed at how he saw his father's torn skin seem to tie itself back together. Tobi poked the places which was earlier injured, it might not be broken or scarred but it was still tender, with every poke Sasuke fought the urge to flinch.

Sakura looked amused at the situation. She sat at the end of the bed watching the father-son duo who seemed to be challenging each other. Little Tobi had a smug smirk on his face as he jabbed his thumb at his father's ribs while Sasuke kept an uninterested and nonchalant face. After about an hour of poking his father, Tobi had given up since he wasn't getting the reaction that he wanted.

"You're boring, Chichi-ue" Tobi moved towards Sakura and stuck his tongue out at Sasuke. He sat on her lap and wrapped his tiny arms around her and nuzzled her. Sasuke chuckled at his child's antics and rolled his eyes at Sakura who mouthed 'He likes me better than you'.

Sakura had felt as if they were a real family even if it was just because of this small child in her arms. She had seen a different side of Sasuke, a sweet, caring, loving, arrogant, sarcastic and kind side opposed to his normal nonchalant, stupid, arrogant, prideful, cold, unfeeling and violent side. She liked him better this way and she doesn't dare say it but, she might even start to like him not just as a friend but someone who she could eventually love.

Her eyes softened as she looked at him. He was undeniably handsome, she had never admitted it to herself. He had the body of a God, it was lean and not too muscular and lastly he was kind. Even if it was just toward his child, he was considerably kind. He knew how to love, he loved Tobi very much and she could see that. Sakura fell asleep in the bed with Tobi in her arms and Sasuke by her side. The three had succumbed to sleep after a long day.

If you hadn't looked through the cracks, you'd think they were the perfect family.
