GUSTO

The girls were all sitting and eating their breakfast at Gusto. Ino, Hinata and Tenten were acting weird. Sakura was suspicious. So she decided to enquire.

"So what the hell is going on?" Sakura eyed them carefully.

"Well don't get mad." Ino was being hesitant.

"spill" Sakura growled.

"Sakura! Umm... The guys are coming over here" Hinata spoke nervously. Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Well yesterday night, we texted the guys. And we forgave them. They will be joining for breakfast with us!" Tenten was fidgeting.

Sakura did not say anything for a few mins. The girls were worried.

"You could text Sasuke too!" Ino suggested.

"Comon Sak! You know you miss him too" Hinata was being persistent.

"Well we could ask the guys to take Sasuke with them and come here!" Tenten was getting worried. She was sweating. Sakura could be real scary when she got mad.

"No. You guys have fun! I am not calling Sasuke. And please don't interfere in this matter!" Sakura spoke coldly. Weren't they with her? How could they just not tell her and make a move? Well of course! The guys were playing at first. But it was Sasuke's idea. They all followed it. If Sasuke hadn't suggested then maybe the guys would have realized their feelings earlier. She couldn't just jump to conclusions with Sasuke like the rest of them. It was Sasuke! He was the cold hearted bastard! No one could read his mind or feelings. A voice broke her train of thoughts.

"Heya guys!" Naruto was grinning and waving at them.

"Hey! Come sit down!" Ino invited them with a smile.

"How you guys?" Neji smiled at them.

"All good!" Tenten responded.

"You know we thought you guys would never forgive us!" Naruto was relieved.

"Well we couldn't stay away from you guys for too long!" Hinata pecked Naruto on the cheek. Naruto winked at her.

"We really are sorry for everything and sorry it took us so long to realize!" Shikamaru hung his head in shame.

"Its ok Shika! Everyone makes mistakes. What's important is that you realized your mistakes" Ino offered Shika her sandwich which he accepted gladly.

"We are hoping that this is not another game and we are hoping we can trust you guys. If this is another game then you will have to face consequences" Tenten was awaiting a truthful answer from them.

"Are you kidding? No way this is a game! We went nuts without you girls! We have learnt our lessons! Don't even doubt us! We are sorry for what we did! And we really love you , this time for REAL! " Neji was stressing each and every word.

"Alright! We trust you! And we have something to tell you! " Ino was blushing.

"Please don't tell us you guys don't love us and you've moved on!" Naruto was begging.

"Actually no! You guys will be happy hearing this!" Hinata was turning to a tomato.

"Will you girls just tell us already? The suspense is killing us!" Shikamaru's heart was beating faster than usual. He didn't want to hear he was too late.

"We are pregnant" Tenten spoke shyly.

There was a long pause. The girls were waiting for their husbands reaction. The guys looked like they saw a white ghost making out with a dead body from the bio lab.

Sakura was watching this silently. She didn't feel comfortable. She just wanted to run away from this place. It was so easy for the guys and girls to make it up. The situation in front of her was like old times, like there was no trace of any ugly truth being revealed. Sasuke's and her relationship was so difficult. He wasn't expressive. She couldn't understand if he really did love her or was he just asking her to be with him cuz the rest of them were doing it and he didn't want to trouble himself by looking for some other person and didn't want to be left out in his group. Again a noise broke her train of thoughts.

"ARE"

"YOU"

"KIDDING?"

The boys all practically shouted from shock. They never expected this! This was something beyond their imagination. The three pregnant women were mad. They were telling a good news and the guys didn't believe them.

"You think we are joking?" Ino spoke curtly.

"What's wrong? Not ready to have a baby?" Hinata questioned in an icy tone.

"Don't want to settle? Cuz you guys want to fool around for some more time with other girls?" Tenten spoke coldly.

Sakura was silently watching everything that was going on. The three couple had totally forgotten her existence. She was hurt.

"No ways! This is like the best thing we have heard so far" Naruto yelled.

"After so much of chaos its like we are really happy!" Shikamaru continued.

"God! You girls made our day!" Neji was grinning.

The boys went and hugged their wives. Kissed them.

"I can't believe I am going to be a father! " Naruto was still in shock but was happy.

"So you girls ready to move in with us?'" Neji asked the girls with high hopes.

"Should you even ask?" Hinata sighed.

"Alright then! Lets go pack!" Shika spoke enthusiastically.

"We have to go work!" Tenten interjected.

"What! No way you guys are going to work in this condition. " Naruto sounded angry.

"What? We don't get paid for taking holidays!" Ino argued.

"We don't want you girls to work! Its not like we can't pay for you or you can't use our money!" Neji was scowling.

"We are so gonna work!" Hinata made it clear to them. The boys sighed in defeat.

"Fine! Take a break for the next one year and then go work!" Shikamaru agreed reluctantly.

"Alright then! Lets go packing! And we will move in to the mansion again!" Hinata grinned.

"We need to sell the flat!" Tenten reminded.

"You girls chill. We will take care of it . It will be sold out by tomorrow!" Naruto assured them.

"No. You are not selling it Naruto" Sakura finally spoke. All eyes turned towards to her.

"Why not? Teme will not be happy about you not moving in with him. " Naruto argued.

"I said you are so not selling it" Sakura spoke with venom in her voice.

"Hey! Why isn't Sasuke here?" Shikamaru asked in confusion.

"Well.. You see.. Sasuke and Sakura still haven't made up with each other." Ino spoke hesitantly.

"What! He said he has somewhere to be! We thought he was gonna meet Sakura!" Neji said.

"Well. No. You girls can pack and leave. And don't mind me. I am ok with being alone. I need space to think. And please stay out of what's happening with Sasuke and me" Sakura spoke with no expressions.

"Sakura! Sorry we didn't tell you about it! It just happened at night. We couldn't take it any longer! Sorry! " Hinata apologized.

"We didn't mean to hurt you!" Tenten was sorry.

"Forehead just call Sasuke! Dammit!" Ino was yelling at her best friend.

"Sakura! Seriously! Sasuke looks miserable! Just call already!" Neji was offering his phone to her.

"Sasuke is really sorry about what he did! We know he loves you ! Please! Lets all get together again!" Shikamaru was being desperate.

"Guys! Leave this matter here. I have something else in mind. I am dealing with Sasuke. The one who hardly shows emotions. When I make things clear with him I will be back in the mansion! You all relax. I will keep in touch with you all ok? I gotta go. I'm late" With that Sakura just left the restaurant without a glance at her friends.

"I swear I will kick teme's ass!" Naruto was angry,

"Naruto! Leave it to them to settle it down! She is right! We can't read Sasuke's emotions easily. Guess she has somethings to make sure of! When the time is right they will be back together" Tenten was explaining .

"Yea! They both are obviously in love with each other. Some differences they need to sort out. They will. Give them sometime." Neji spoke.

"Alright then! Lets go pack!" Ino told the rest.

"Then we go to Tsunade for your check ups!" Shikamaru said.

"We should go to Tsundae's house. She isn't going to the hospital today!" Hinata told the others

"Alright! Lets get moving then!" Naruto was excited already.

The girls were really happy that everything was back to normal. The guys couldn't thank god enough for they got the love of their life back!

THE BROTHERS- CRIMSON LAKE- TOKYO.

Two brothers who grew up together were now sitting at their favorite spot. The younger one lost in thought, the elder one keeping an eye on the younger. They were sitting near the lake, their legs inside the water. The sun was up in the sky, its rays that fell on the water made the water look red. Hence the name Crimson lake.

The older was watching the younger one and finally sighed. He couldn't watch his foolish little brother so depressed and lost in thought. Yes, Uchiha Itachi was the only one who saw this side of his cold , stoic younger brother- Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke only showed emotions when he was around his elder brother. Itachi was his idol, best friend, rival, brother , father, guide and pillar of support. Only Itachi could read Sasuke like an open book. Sasuke didn't mind showing his emotions when Itachi was around. Ever since they were young, Sasuke trusted Itachi with his life. He could speak about anything and everything to Itachi, his elder brother would never judge him. Even if it was the silliest of things, he would never laugh at Sasuke. Instead he would make sure Sasuke was alright. Itachi would pay all his attention to him. He was a constant in Sasuke's life.

"Sasuke! " Itachi called.

"Hn" Sasuke was gazing at the sky.

"Go meet her! Say you're sorry and tell her how much you need her, how much you love her" Itachi was patting Sasuke.

"She didn't even want to talk to me yesterday!" Sasuke complained like a child.

"She is angry. She is hurt. That doesn't mean she doesn't love you" Itachi was explaining things.

"How do you know that she still loves me after everything I did?" Sasuke was now looking at Itachi with a grim face.

"I know. She agreed to pretend at the beginning. Then she told you how she still feels about you. Even after you broke up with her, she could never get over you. She is waiting for you to go to her and tell her how you really feel. She wants reassurance." Itachi was smiling at his younger brother.

"Why is it so hard for me to understand emotions?" Sasuke was now plucking out the grass.

"Its because , for too long you have focused on your professional life. You never took the time out to let your emotions out. You were too guarded about it. You forgot that you could feel at some point of time. When Sakura was back in your life, she had the power to awaken those hidden emotions inside you. That's why you feel like those feelings are foreign to you. but if you look deep inside your heart, they are not foreign. They are right there in your heart and Sakura just broke those walls around you and touched those emotions of love and care! And most importantly she made you human again! " Itachi was making circles in water using his leg.

"How do you know so much?" Sasuke was amused by the explanation.

"Experience! " Itachi said.

"You mean Konan?"

"Aa! When she walked into my life , the feeling was different! Its like I can't describe it. Words aren't enough" Itachi was recalling the first time he saw Konan in a bar, all drunk and flirting with him. He had taken her home that night. The next day Konan had accused him of being a rapist and thus their love story began. He smiled at that memory.

"You feel like you can't live without her? Like she brightens up everything inside you? Like you want her to stay next to you all the time? And its a nice feeling to know there is someone next to you when you wake up? That's what I feel about Sakura. Its like I'm lost without her. For the first time I have actually come to respect a woman! Its like she gained my respect even without trying. There are times that I don't know why I miss her so much,want her by my side forever. I can't answer why I care so much, why I don't want to see her hurt." Sasuke was letting his feelings out.

"You are in love! Love doesn't have reason. You don't know how and why she makes you happy, you don't know why you miss her. Love doesn't have a reason! If it has, then its just a liking. But you don't know why you miss her and need her. So you are in love! Love isn't rational. Nor does it have logic!" Itachi was ruffling his younger brother's hair.

"What do I do to get her back? She is so angry with me!" Sasuke spoke in a dull voice.

"You have to figure out what you need to do. "

"How come you are in Japan?" Sasuke asked out of curiosity.

"Hm! I knew my foolish little brother would be an emotional wreck and that he needs my help in understanding. So I left after you did!" Itachi spoke in a you-can't-do-anything-without-me voice. Sasuke scowled at this.

"I wouldn't know what I would do without you" Sasuke accepted it.

"No matter what you do, I will always love you and be there for you ! That's what brothers are for!" Itachi winked at him.

"You're the best you know? I can't imagine living in a world without you! " Sasuke looked at Itachi, beaming.

"I know! So you will go find her?" Itachi asked.

"Yea! I will tell her everything. How are things with Konan?" Sasuke asked.

"Things are good! We are trying for another kid!" Itachi answered truthfully.

"Isn't one enough?" Sasuke asked in a voice that spoke horror.

"You sound like you are afraid of kids! " Itachi pointed out.

"I'm. They end up crying all the time! They always ask for attention." Sasuke complained.

"Foolish little brother! Once you become a father, you will know the feeling. Its entirely different. " Itachi slapped Sasuke's back playfully.

"Can I lie down on your lap for sometime? Its been so long. I miss those day where it was just you and me laying down here" Sasuke was reminiscing.

"Do you have to ask?" Itachi asked in a bored tone.

"You don't have much time for me, now" Sasuke made a statement.

"Life's that way. It gets hectic as you grow up. But I never stopped thinking about you." Itachi was smothering Sasuke's forehead as he laid his head on his lap.

"I still miss you. " Sasuke spoke in a distant voice. Itachi knew that Sasuke was hurt that he wasn't spending much time with him.

"Ok. Here's a deal. Every Saturday, early morning, it'll be just you and me. Here, In this same spot. I'm going to be coming back to Tokyo as soon as you return. I won't leave you or neglect you. Its a promise!" Itachi kissed Sasuke's forehead lovingly.

"I'll sleep. Wake me up after sometime." With that Sasuke closed his eyes leaving all his worries behind. He always felt at peace when he was with Itachi. Itachi smiled at his younger brother.

MEANWHILE AT TOKYO HOSPITAL

Sakura walked through the halls of the hospital. She was going to her chamber. She had few patients waiting for her. She was so upset. Her friends hadn't told her about the make up plan. But that didn't bother her much. She was bothered about Sasuke. He hadn't called. Maybe she was just a toy after all. Maybe he never loved her. She was just his convenience. She loves this man to bits and pieces and she didn't know anything about his feelings.

She wonders if she should move on. She knows she can never love another man. Cuz she will be in love with this cold hearted jerk for the rest of her life. She wondered why life was so cruel to her. Everything she loved was taken away from her. Maybe she was number one on the unlucky love list. She sighed and opened the door to her chamber. It was the same light green walls with soft blue. Same old marble floor. She sat down and her assistant came in.

"Uchiha-san, there is a young boy who needs to be treated for his injuries. I will send him in" Garin spoke politely. Sakura just nodded.

"Uchiha-san! This is my son. He fell off from a tree and scrapped his knees badly. Please look at it" The mother requested.

"You are a cute little boy! Let me take a look at your injury!" Sakura lifted the boy and placed him on the examination bed. She smiled at him.

"Will you hurt me ?" The boy asked innocently.

"Of course not! I will make you feel better! I will clean up your wound and wrap it away with a bandage. then I will give you a tablet so that your wounds will disappear real fast!" Sakura spoke in a sweet tone that would reassure the small kid.

"Will I get candies after these?" The boy asked expectantly.

"Of course! You will! You are being a good kid." Sakura was done treating the kid. She gave the boy's mother the tablets. And she looked at the boy and gave him few candies.

"You are such a nice doctor!" The kid smiled at her.

"You are a nice kid too!" Sakura smiled back.

"Thank you Uchiha-san! Uchiha-sama is such a lucky man to have you as his wife! You both make a wonderful pair! Your kids will be the luckiest!" The woman commented.

"Thank you!" Sakura spoke with a fake smile. The lady left with her kid. As time passed by, she treated so many people. Of different ages. She was feeling exhausted.

If Sasuke ever shows up and says he truly loves me, one day I can have kids too! It will be such a nice thing. To have a family. Sakura sighed! Sasuke still hadn't showed up. She lost all hopes. There was one last patient she had to treat. He was a 27 year old software engineer.

"May I enter?" Sakura heard a voice from the outside. She rubbed her temples and decided to answer.

"Please come in" A man entered the room, with brown hairs and grey eyes. He was ok looking. He was tall. But he was nothing compared to Sasuke. Sasuke was entirely on another level.

"Dr Sakura? Pleased to meet you! I'm Yashimaru!" He smiled at her and gave a hand shake. Sakura smiled back.

"Nice to meet you Yashimaru. How are you feeling?" Sakura asked professionally.

"I feel tired these days. I had fever a few days back. So what do you think is wrong with me?" Yahimaru asked. He was eyeing Sakura. Every bit of her.

"Lay down on the examination bed. Let me check you up!" Sakura commanded. He laied down on the bed. Sakura took out her thermometer and measured his temperature. She then took his wrist to examine his pulse. Yashimaru liked the feeling of being held by her. After she was done checking, she left his hand fall free. It was next to her thighs.

"You are stressed. You need to have some vitamins and juices to increase strength and body fluids. Take what I have prescribed for you and meet me after 15 days" Sakura spoke, still unaware of the eyes that were checking her out. Yashimaru suddenly grabbed her thighs. Sakura was shocked. She couldn't believe what was happening. He slowly moved his hands up her thighs. The suddenly grabbed it tighter. Sakura was still shocked.

"I'm sorry! I just needed help getting up. I shouldn't have touched you like that! I was hoping to get support from your left hand. Sorry!" Yashimaru apologized. Inside , he was enjoying every moment he touched her .

"Aah.. Its ok. You can leave now" Sakura couldn't believe what just happened. Yashimaru left with a grin.

I so need a break! I need to hit the bar! I need to drink to forget all these! God! What a bad day! She grabbed her belongings and left to The Road. The new bar that was open a few blocks away from the hospital.

THE ROAD

Sakura arrived at the bar. She had removed her white coat and left all her belongings in her chamber. She had only got money in her wallet. She sat down at the counter. She saw many people dancing to the beats and drinking. There were many girls and boys. Even middle aged people.

"What do you wanna drink?" The bartender asked.

"Pina coladas please!" Sakura answered warily. Her mind wasn't exactly here. She was too tired to even focus.

"Here you go!" The bartender gave her the drink. She took a few sips and then she noticed someone sitting next to her. At first she didn't bother to look at who he was. Then she saw brown hairs , it was the patient she had treated a few mins back. She groaned.

"Sakura! " Yashimaru greeted.

"Hello!" Sakura said . She didn't want to sound impolite.

"You are here alone? Stressful day I guess!" He said in a cherry tone.

"Yea! You could say that!" Sakura was concentrating on her drink.

"I'll buy you another drink" He offered.

"No thanks!" She rejected.

"Don't be shy! You treated me! The least I can do is get you a drink!" Yashimaru was now sitting very close to her. She was feeling very uncomfortable. At the same time tired. She chose to ignore him.

"Its ok. Don't bother."

"You look tired. " He said. Now he was staring at her top. The first five buttons were undone, revealing a lot of cleavage. He was cherishing every moment of watching it. Unknown to the stupid Yashimaru , a pair of onyx eyes were glaring at him.

"Aa! Yea!" Sakura spoke in uncertainty. Any moment she would faint. Then she noticed where Yashimaru was looking. She felt violated. Before she could say something, she saw his hands making way towards her chest. She was panicking on the inside. She didn't have any strength to punch him in the face. She closed her eyes with frustration , awaiting his dirty fingers. But nothing came. She slowly opened her eyes. Only to see ebony hairs and pale skin. Burning onyx eyes. She then realized who it was. She was relieved!

"Don't you dare touch her!" He snarled.

"Who do you think you are to tell me all that?" Yashimaru snarled back, wiping away blood from the mouth after he was punched in the face.

"Her husband" Sasuke answered coldly.

"Don't lie!" Yashimaru spat.

"I don't need to prove anything to you" Sasuke was losing his cool.

"Yea right! She is pretty. Doesn't mean you can go around claiming that she is yours!" Ok! This guy was definitely not right in the head to accuse Sasuke! He was so going to get it. Sakura sensed the deadly aura from Sasuke. She decided to intervene.

"Actually Yashimaru! He is my husband! " Sakura spoke hesitantly.

"You know this loser's name?" Sasuke was now growling at her.

"He was the last patient I treated today" Sakura was scared. She didn't want Sasuke to think that there was something going on between them.

"You are lieing! He looks like he is rich so you are acting along! Maybe you are a slut!" Yashimaru accused Sakura. That was it. Sasuke punched the guy right in the face. Kicked him where it hurts the most. Then held him up by the collar.

"Don't even think of saying such things about my wife. Or else you'll end up dead" Sasuke warned him. He was glaring the infamous Uchiha Sasuke deadly glare that made people die at the spot.

"Who are you?" Yashimaru was scared.

"Uchiha Sasuke!" That did it. Yashimaru fainted. Sasuke dropped him to the ground and looked at Sakura.

"You ok?" Sasuke was concerned.

"Yea! How did you find me?" Sakura was still tired and was looking at her glass.

"I had synched my phone with yours a long time ago. It was easy to track you down. I was looking for you" Sasuke was removing his overcoat.

"Oh!" Sakura was losing her consciousnesses .

"Sakura! Listen! I am really sorry about everything. I swear I will make it all up to you. I love you ok? I missed you so much! I mean it. Just come back with me! I can't stand it anymore. Please!" Sasuke sounded desperate.

"I thought you would never come get me. I thought you didn't love me. I thought you would be mad at me for what I told you yesterday" Sakura was trying so hard not to cry.

"I was with Itachi. I was telling him what happened yesterday. Sorry I made you wait. Dummy! I love you! I was not mad at you for what you said yesterday! You had all the right to be mad at me!" Sasuke now came and sat down next to Sakura.

"I love you" Sakura turned to Sasuke. She had tears rolling down her cheeks. Sasuke wiped them away and kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you too. I won't ever hurt you. We'll go back to your flat for the night. I am sure you want some privacy with me" Sasuke smirked.

"You read me like an open book" Sakura complained. She was now sure that the man she loves , loves her back. She was happy. She couldn't wait to cuddle with him.

"You are so not coming to places like this without me! Nor are you treating male patients. I mean it!" Sasuke ordered.

"Aren't you the overprotective one?" Sakura sighed. She knew there was no point in arguing with Sasuke. He would always win.

"Only when it comes to you! Here let me put the overcoat for you!" Sasuke now made sure she was wearing the overcoat so that none of the guys would stare at her white see through top.

"I know!" Sakura and Sasuke got up, ready to leave..

"What did I tell you about wearing such clothes? " Sasuke was mad.

"Sorry! I forgot." Sakura apologized, linking hands with him.

"I don't want you wearing such things . All these men stare at you like hungry cats! Last warning Mrs. Uchiha!" Sasuke warned his wife. Sakura knew that he was dead serious. She nodded her head in agreement. They soon made their way out of the bar. Suddenly Sakura started losing balance and started falling back on her feat.

"Sakura! Are you alright?" Sasuke was concerned.

"No. I feel too tired. I can't even walk. I feel wobbly. I feel like fainting. " Sakura spoke warily.

"We are so going to see Tsunade" Sasuke said in a serious tone. He carried Sakura , bridal style. Placed her in the passenger seat of the car. He took the driver seat.

"No need Sasuke-kun! I will be fine. I think I need some rest is all" Sakura was trying hard to argue.

"We are going to Tsunade. Its still 8:30 in the night. You just sleep. I will wake you up when I reach her place" Sasuke ordered her. Sakura scowled.

"I have so much to talk with you" Sakura was glaring at her husband.

"I know. We will sit down and talk clearly. I know I owe you answers and need to clear the air between us. but that's going to happen only after we see Tsunade." Sasuke spoke icily.

"Fine!" She growled.

Sasuke turned her face towards him and kissed her on the lips. She smiled and then kissed back. They broke apart after a minute. Sasuke started driving. Sakura fell into unconsciousness . Sasuke was sick worried. He didn't want anything to happen to her. He was hoping it was nothing major. He was not ready to lose her. He was driving so fast that he didn't want to waste a single second. He wanted to know if she was alright.

So what's wrong with Sakura?

Well you all have to review to know what happens!

How did you guys find the story?

Ja Ne!
