Chapter 6 - The Truth
Sakura went inside the hideout and in the kitchen she found the other members. Itachi followed her without saying anything. Everyone looked at her curious and Itachi knew why. They were wondering what happened outside. And Sakura's eyes were red.
"Konan-san. I'll be going upstairs to rest. If something happens please wake me up ok?" Sakura looked at her as she nodded and she left.
"What happened to her?" Asked Konan Itachi. "I can't tell you yet. I'll go up too." replied Itachi then she followed the pink-haired girl. He climbed the stairs and stopped in front of Sakura's door. Thinking. When the door opened in front of him.
"You do have a habit of stalking others, don't you?" she spoke. Her coldness didn't change at all. She looked at him, sensing her strength fade away. "Aren't you tired already?" she asked.
"What about you? Aren't you tired of showing a facade to others?" She flinched at his question. "Why the hell are you pestering me so much?" she yelled. "What do you want to know more?" Itachi stepped into her room and closed the door. He began to walk towards her as she kept stepping back.
"W-What are you doing?" she stuttered. "Don't get so close to..."
"What are you afraid of? Me? Don't think so..." Itachi stopped when Sakura thouched the wall with her back. "I'm not afraid of you. I never was. You only illusioned yourself if you thought that I was afraid of you. Why would I be afraid of the person I..." once again Sakura shut herself up. She was about to say something she shouldn't.
"You what? Sakura, all you say doesn't have sense at all. What did you want to say?" Itachi's gaze wouldn't leave her eyes.
"Nothing. All the time you make me say something that I shouldn't. But don't worry, tomorrow you'll find out everything and it's also the last time that you'll see me. I'll say just one thing." Itachi looked at her and shook his head. "If you want to tell me to hate you..."
"I'm sorry. I'm not going to say why and neither will you ask." Sakura turned her back to him. "Please leave my room." Itachi had questions and questions but it seemed that she wouldn't give an answer to them. He left the room and closed the door. Only then could Sakura let her tears fall. "I'm...so sorry. What I have done can never be changed...I cannot yearn for your forgiveness nor anything. That shows just how much I have to suffer from now on." Itachi listened her cries behind the door. He felt her sadness deep into his soul. He couldn't hate her.
"It seems your love for Sasuke still hadn't faded away. He will taunt you your entire life. You won't let go of your sadness."
The entire night Itachi couldn't sleep thinking about what was going to happen. In the middle of the night she heard Sakura come back to her room. "Just where did she go?" he thought. A few hours later he heard her screams again. She was having a nightmare again. It passed fast; the night. Itachi sat up on his bed and tied his hair. It was the time of truth. He walked out of his room only to find Sakura waiting for him on the hall.
"There's no need for you to follow me. Soon I will let you know everything." She said out of nowhere. "It's time." He didn't follow her as he planned and just watched her leaving the hideout. She kept jumping over trees until they arrived at the hill. Ino was already there waiting for Sakura's arrival.
"Yesterday I promised you that I was going to give you answers. And to Itachi but him later. I'll start by telling you about the incident in the village." Sakura turned away from Ino. "All this time I lied." she told her. "Not about everything though. Shinobi from mist targeted Tsunade-sama and Naruto to kill them. Because of some mistake, Kakashi and Sasuke were with them. The mist ninjas were way too powerfull than them so they eventually just retreated for a while. They had to unmask them so they had no other choice but to hide. I was not there when it happened. They got ambushed. Because of some rumours the council of Konoha decided to blame me for their "deaths", but I supposed you know that Ino." she looked at her now.
"What do you mean rumours?" asked Ino but Sakura continued to talk. "When I arrived there...I found them lying on the ground but they..."
"Sakura. I got your..." a boy's voice could be heard at the bottom of the hill. Ino and Itachi looked down to see who it was. Ino's eyes started to tear. There was Uchiha Sasuke on his own feet staring at them. And he was not alone. With him were Tsunade, Naruto, Kakashi and Shizune who was helping Tsunade stay on her feet. Barely but able. "Were not dead."
"Sa-Sasu...ke?" stuttered Ino. Sakura looked at Ino. She was gazing at the boy down the hill trying to make his way to Ino. "What the hell is going on Sakura? After the incident you decided to run away without telling anyone anything. And you joined Akatsuki?" yelled Tsunade.
"Follow me." whispered Sakura as she was going towards the 5 people at the bottom of the hill. Ino looked at her speechless.
"Y-You...What is going on here?" asked Sasuke. "What are you doing here?" he pointed at Ino after they arrived down. He wanted to come closer to her. "I'm sorry about your sister but did you really have to join with Akatsuki? There's..." Sakura looked at Ino hugging Sasuke. That's how love should be.
"That's enough. I never killed them. I was just helping them to find out about those mist shinobi. All this time I was lying about everything. I played my part well right? Itachi..." Sakura was staring at Sasuke. "Sasuke. Itachi...was trying to protect you when he killed the Uchihas. If he hadn't done that you would have been killed along with them. You didn't know but Itachi was a double-agent working for both Uchihas and The Root. Do you really think he would have done that if it wasn't for you? Even now you're looking at him right?"
"I know." she sighed. "However Sasuke don't get the wrong idea. I didn't join the Akatsuki to help you Uchihas. I just wanted to be as far away from you as possible. I still hate you for what you did." she was angry.
"Wait. You said you lied about everything. Couldn't you have solved it some other way? And what about that baby?
"Sakura?" she mumbled. They all looked at her to see her shivering. She flinched.
"Sakura-chan..." whispered Naruto.
"Yes. She told me this. That...you killed her baby Sasuke." Ino spoke. Sakura didn't know what to do.
"Sakura...what happened...?" asked Tsunade. Her mind went blank. All those memories came back to her flowing into her head. "Sasuke...should know about that the best..." Sakura looked at him as if blaming him for everything. "The one to give birth...was an Uchiha, and one was to take...it." she replied without thinking.
"Sasuke...What is she talking about? Are you..." whispered Ino.
"Don't think ahead. So it was that moment wasn't it?" he asked Sakura. "When I wanted to take revenge on you and killed Mayuri..."
"Yes. You didn't forget right? Neither did I. You knew what I did...and you seeked revenge on me...And you succeeded. You took your revenge on both Itachi...and me."
"What do you mean? What the hell are the both of you talking about?" Naruto was impatient as he finally was able to see that Sakura was fine.
"This is a matter between me and Sasuke. And will remain like this. I told you everything you needed to know. This is your truth, I hope you're satisfied." Sakura turned around to leave when a hand grabbed her wrist.
"Are you gonna really walk away like this?" Sasuke was the one to catch her.
"This is the last time you're touching me Uchiha Sasuke. Don't make me really want to kill you. Because the state I am in now, it would be so easy for me to do so." She glared at him so hard that he took a small step behind. "Tsunade-sama. I suppose my mission is over now right? There is no need to cover for you." She looked at the woman that was barely standing.
"NO need to anymore, Sakura. Thank you for doing this for us. I know it wasn't easy for you. Now we should head back to the village. Are you coming?" She asked.
"Not right now. I need time." Sakura looked towards the horizon and thought about everthing on the spur of the moment. "I will not be going to the village. At least for a while. I need to think things over." She went back to the hideout only to find everyone else in the living room. She looked for a while at them and then started to climb the stairs to her room.
I'm really really sorry if it's short and not what you expected. I've been thinking of this idea for days. Please Review :)
