Chapter Fifteen
"After giving birth to Tobi, she heard the news of her villagers turning against her and destroying her village and she felt the need to do the noble thing and go back. The people had turned their backs against her thinking that she had left to get a better life and leave them all behind.. That's what it looked like to them. The people attacked her and she did not even dare defend herself, she died what she called a 'noble death'"
"The villagers had burned her body into ashes and threw it out, no one had anything left of her apart from her son who had her eyes. Her husband was very devastated and his heart started to freeze harder again. Her husband had tried to forget her by burning all of her things and the village she grew up in and he had changed forever"
"The girl's name is Shizuka, Shizuka Nadeshiko" Sakura nodded as she understood, he was so in love with the girl and she died doing the right thing.. The stupid right thing.
"She was my bestfriend and she had entrusted me with Tobi before she left. Shizuka and I were so close that it was like we were attached from the hip." Sasuke smiled as he reminisced his memories with Shizuka, he was clearly very close to her. Sakura looked down and sighed.
"I know I could never replace her and I know you couldn't love me as you loved her but I will try to be a good mother and a good wife. My deepest condolences for you, I could not imagine ever losing the love of my life" Sakura looked at him intensely as she said the words in a soft murmur. Sasuke wanted to face palm but since he was an Uchiha he fought the urge to face palm.
"Sakura, she was not my wife and I did not love her the way you think that I did, She is just a close friend who had died believing what she thought was what she was destined to. She had married Shisui's brother, Sagiri" Sasuke rolled his eyes at the girl. "She is my best friend and she is quite stupid, doing the noble thing and dying for it? stupid. I'm keeping my promise and protecting Tobi since I've vowed to do that for her."
"What happened to Sagiri-san?Why had he not kept Tobi? Was it too painful to keep him? Is he okay?" Sakura's eyes widened as she covered her mouth in embarrassment due to her ranting. Sasuke scowled at the sound of his name and pause briefly before answering in a soft voice. "He took his own life"
"Oh poor Tobi-chan. Wait, does Tobi-chan know?" Sakura looked at Sasuke with obvious concern in her eyes. Sasuke shook his head 'no' as he looked at her straight in the eye, he looked quite serious and he had went back to his cold self.
"And I do not intend to tell him" Sasuke gritted out. "You are not to tell him either, he is gonna grow up with a complete family. You as his mother and myself as his father, alright?"
"You intend for him to live a life of lies? You intend to lie to him through his entire life?" Sakura growled out, her pulse quickened in anger. The monitor showed it, her pulse rate increased into an unsafe rate. The nurses were alarmed and ran into the room, they had ushered Sasuke out to wait in the waiting room to check on the girl's vitals. One of them had red hair and the other had purple hair both of them were nice and polite, they were amazed with how she healed up quite quickly.
"Uchiha-sama, are the conditions in the hospital to your liking?" The purple haired girl she learned was named 'Ami' asked her as she fluffed her pillow up and placed it back on Sakura's bed. The red haired girl watched the girl for her answer.
"Yes, I do." Sakura answered as she watched the 2 nurses move about in the room more like a housekeeper than what a nurse would do. "Are you girls Medic nins by any chance?" Sakura asked the two who snapped their heads to look at the rosette girl. They both looked quite surprised by the question and the first one to snap out of the shock was the red haired nurse who answered for both of them.
"No, we're not, Uchiha-sama" The red haired girl named Karin bowed as if to apologize which Sakura halted with the raise of her hand. "We'll try to be better Uchiha-sama" The two said simultaneously.
"No, I had not meant it that way. I was going to offer you girls some training if you allow me too" Sakura smiled warmly at the girls and they looked quite shocked. Uchihas had not related themselves with common people like themselves and they nodded. They both agreed that they liked this new addition to the Uchiha clan. Sasuke waited outside patiently 'til he was ushered back inside by two smiling nurses who seemed in a better mood than when they came in. This girl was changing everyone around her and making them happy, why couldn't she make him happy?
He walked into the room seeing a smiling Sakura. She looked content and she greeted him with a smile, a smile he did not deserve. She had remained kind to him even if he was terrible to her and she had remained trying to help him win back his son even without him asking her. She truly is different maybe that's why she was deemed special by his family, was he the only one who could not see it?
"You truly are something else, aren't you?"Sasuke whispered not knowing Sakura would catch it, she did not know if that was an insult or a compliment.
