Several Days Later
Uchiha,Itachi was a man of patience. He was a man that had sat through years and years of his parents,well father, lecturing him on how his main concerns should be for the welfare of his clan and not other people but Itachi soon learned that his concerns should be also focused on the pink haired medic he was dating at the time. Sakura opened his eyes to things that his father never taught him, and Itachi was eternally grateful to the woman for forcing herself into his life. While his father prided himself over the concerns of the clan over his own sons,Sakura's foundation was set on the welfare of other over her own needs. Even though he wouldn't openly admit it he was glad that she would chew him out for not only hours but for days when it came to trivial things. It was a sign that someone,other than his family cared about his well-being but even with all the weight of those responsibility and more Itachi had managed to stay level-headed.
Situated in a tall tree,on the outskirts of Ame, Itachi was waiting on a certain woman when his mind began to wonder about Sakura. The last time he had spoken to her, She had given him more information about Shisui's condition and they had a small talk about when he was due to come home. As much as Itachi loved the thrill of battle,He was content with laying under her and spending almost every waking moment with her,even if she would lecture him about his eating and work habits. Itachi's keen sense of sight and sound quickly caught the sign of the woman and with no effort Itachi jumped out of the tree and landed on the ground barely making a noise. Several paper butterflies appeared before Itachi until they made the form of a woman. As they all disappeared,there stood the only female member of the group of S-ranked criminals formally known as Akatsuki. Konan.
Grey eyes stared at red
"What have you learned"Itachi asked watching the woman carefully
"That there is a coup d'etat in place"
Itachi stayed silent, He had a couple of suspicions that this would happen. Itachi went to ask another question when a loud caw caught the attention of both of the deadly ninjas. Red eyes looked up as the bird circled feverishly before swooping down towards the two. The crow smoothly landed on Itachi's forearm. Deactivating his sharingan Itachi placed a hand on the crows head,which nuzzled his hand gingerly. Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly at the birds action.
'Sakura' Itachi thought as he placed a hand upon the crows head as Sakura's message ran through his mind.
'Itachi- She had been crying 'They need-I need you to come home now'
"Is something wrong"Konan asked watching Itachi carefully.
Itachi shook his head "Did you do the extract"
Konan nodded
"I believe that they have found out that Shisui is dead." Itachi spoke as the bird watched the two carefully.
The female member of Akatsuki frowned slightly "What now"
"We move onto phase two"
Konan nodded absentmindedly "What do I tell him then"
Itachi stayed silent as if he was choosing his words wisely "Tell him once everything is said and done,I'll give him my answer.
Konan nodded and with a blink of an eye she was gone,leaving Itachi alone.
Several Days Later
Sakura had been a wreck ever since Shisui's memorial service, She wasn't getting any type of sleep,her appetite had diminished almost completely and whatever she did eat,she would end up throwing it back up in a manner of hours. Her brain still couldn't get over the fact that Shisui was actually gone and someone killed him. From the little information that Fugaku had shared with her,He was strongly pulling towards that someone in the hospital had committed the crime. Sakura wanted or rather needed to do something to keep her mind off of the events and even though Tsunade had told her, that she had enough sick days to take off she still needed something to do other than listen to her mother-in-law talk her to death on why her and Itachi haven't given her grandchildren yet.
"Sakura"
Sakura's head snapped up from her desk,which she had been staring, or rather sleeping on for the past hour or so, to see Sasuke standing in her doorway with a slight frown on his face.
"Is that all you male Uchiha's know how to do"Sakura asked causing Sasuke to frown deeper.
Sasuke glared at her as he walked into the room"My mother made you lunch"
Sakura sighed "I can't even think to eat right now"
Sasuke sat down in the chair in-front of her desk and pushed the bento box towards her."You know how she is so it's not like you have a choice"
Sakura inhaled sharply and then cupped her hand over her nose. "What's in there" She asked pushing the box back with her other hand. Sasuke shrugged as he reached over and opened the bento box "Ee- and at the mention of that Sakura pushed her chair back and dashed into her adjoining bathroom. Sasuke cringed as he listened to Sakura empty her stomach, while closing the bento box and placing it somewhere away from her desk. Sakura emerged from the bathroom several minutes later looking slightly paler.
"What's wrong you" Sasuke asked watching Sakura carefully
"I think it may be a bug" Sakura muttered as she snatched the cup of water off the edge of her desk.
"Don't pass it" Sasuke said scooting back slightly
Sakura glared at Sasuke before sitting down in her chair carefully. "Shut up"
"You've been doing this for a while haven't you Sakura"
She nodded eying him carefully "What are you getting at"
Sasuke shrugged "You're a medical ninja and you can't even diagnose yourself,You might be really ill or probably something worst like carrying the spawn of Satan"
Sakura glared Sasuke before her mind began to think back over the past couple of weeks. Come to think of it,she should have had a visit from her friend a week ago but she kept saying to herself that she had been stressing a lot that week dealing with concerns for Itachi's well-being, Shisui's death, Danzou's threats, and her healing arm. Sakura shook her head,in disbelief as everything came hitting her full force. Getting up rather quickly Sakura made a mad dash for her bathroom and slamming the door behind her, she searched through her medical cabinet for a pregnancy test,which she kept on hand since she'd had a couple of pregnancy scares in the past. It wasn't like she didn't want children,She just figured she wanted to still have a chance to be young,even though twenty two was still young. After sitting in the bathroom for half an hour,A loud knock pulled Sakura out of her thoughts.
"Are you okay in there"Sasuke asked
Sakura nodded forgetting that he was on the other side of the door. She got up and walked towards the door and opened it.
"Well" Sasuke asked watching Sakura carefully
"Positive"Sakura muttered "It came back positive"
'What a nice time to get pregnant' Sakura thought as stared at Sasuke.
Sasuke smirked "She's is going to blow a gasket once she hears this" He snickered
Just as Sakura was about to open her mouth,when there was a knock on her door.
"Come in"
The door opened to reveal two anbu officers with Morino Ibiki in-front.
"What can I help you with" Sakura asked watching the three men
"You need to come with us Sakura" Ibiki spoke
"What for" Sasuke asked speaking up causing Ibiki to look in his direction
"I was speaking to Sakura,Sasuke"Ibiki spoke with a slight frown on his face
"What for" Sakura asked catching his attention
"It's just a couple of questions Sakura" Ibiki spoke
"Then why can't you do it here" Sakura asked
"I'd rather do elsewhere" Ibiki spoke turning his gaze towards Sasuke again. Sakura then looked at Sasuke before nodding her head. With one final glance Sasuke stared at Ibiki before he left out of the room,leaving Sakura and Ibiki alone in the room.
Sakura offered a seat to Ibiki which he politely declined. Sakura leaned against her desk
"What is this all about"
"You and your involvement in Shisui's death"
Sakura's eyed widened "You think I killed him"
Ibiki frowned "Sakura,come with me so we can talk in private" Ibiki spoke motioning Sakura towards her door,all the while with her hands placed protectively over her stomach.
After spending hours and hours in Konoha's Interrogation building,It was well after ten when Sakura arrived back at the Uchiha compound mentally and physically tired. She couldn't even figure out who would say that she had a role in Shisui's death. If anything she was the one who tried her best to prevent the man from dying. After defending herself against Ibiki's accusations for so many hours she was starting to get confused and starting believing that she had played a role in Shisui's death. After realizing Sakura's delicate condition,He decided to call it in for the day, reminding Sakura that he would be back to see her again. Sighing softly Sakura opened the door to the Uchiha residence when green eyes looked up and noticed a pair of onyx eyes that she had been missing for so long, as if being hit by lighting,all of the days activities, all of her problems,all of her worries seem to disappear as she ran into his opened arms.
"Itachi" she sobbed as she wrapped her arms around his waist. Itachi's long hand reached down and pulled Sakura's head up then gently placed his lips on hers. As she gripped his shirt tightly someone cleared their throat causing Sakura to break away from his lips but not his grip.
"You act like you haven't seen him in years" Sasuke spoke while looking away from the two. Sakura blushed madly as she tried to hide behind Itachi's arm.
Mikoto smiled "It's good to have you home Itachi"
Itachi nodded at his mother. Mikoto looked over to her husband and nudged him quite hard.
"How was the mission Itachi" Fugaku asked cutting his eyes from his wife to his eldest son
"Fine" Itachi replied looking over at his father. Fugaku nodded obviously not knowing what else to say
"Sasuke tells me you have some news to share, Sakura" Mikoto spoke with just the biggest and brightest smile on her face.
Sakura glared at Sasuke,who had conveniently looked away,She then looked back at Mikoto and nodded "You're finally gonna get some grandchildren"
Three pairs of onyx eyes stared at Sakura before Mikoto burst into tears. Itachi looked from his father down to Sakura,who was now blushing madly. Mikoto squealed almost too loud as she raced towards Sakura and pulled her into a not so tight hug.
"Congratulations" Mikoto beamed as she reached over and grabbed Itachi and included him in the hug. "I'm finally having a grandchild"
Sakura raised her head and distinctly saw a bright light in the usually stoic Uchiha eyes. Itachi nodded at Sakura before he returned his attention to his mother,who was chatting a mile a minute about clothes, what she could and couldn't eat and having more grandchildren.
"Let her have this one first" Sasuke spoke up. Mikoto looked back at Sasuke with a 'Shut up or else' look which easily caused the younger Uchiha to quickly shut his mouth. After Mikoto had settled down and decided to give the couple their alone time. Itachi and Sakura retreated back to his old bedroom. Once inside Itachi wasted no time claiming Sakura's lips with no plan of letting go of her no time soon.
"I missed you"She muttered in-between kisses.
Itachi smirked "I know"
Running his hands over her body,Itachi's hand stopped on her flat stomach. "A little bit of you and a little bit of me" Itachi muttered against her skin. Sakura couldn't help the smile that never seemed to fade. He was finally home.
