chapter 9

I was born with a very special gift you see, the gift of sight. Visions if you will..and you two, well, you two are my most interesting of visions", she spoke softly.

"Interesting, how"? Sasuke asked sternly. Kitsune chuckled, you definitely are just like him, so serious. " Although you seem alot more at peace than Indra, that's for sure".

Sasuke froze, "How did you--

"I just told you I know everything didn't I ", she interupted.

"Yes I know you are the reincarnation of Indra Otsusuki, but I'm sure the sage of sixths paths didn't mention, as I'm sure at the time it wasn't important, that Indra had one thing he loved besides power". Sasuke stayed silent. "No I didn't think so", she said obviously not surprised.

"The one thing Indra loved more than power and vengence was his beloved Yugao". "She was a beautiful raven hairedwarrior, whom Indra met and fell in love with.

"What does this have to do with us", Sasuke asked impatiently.

"Everything! she said then cackled, "It's part of who both of you are, and how the Uchiha came to be", she smiled and continued. Suddenly Sasuke and Sakura saw Kitsune's vision flash before their eyes.

"Yugao's specialty , was fire type Jutsu, she also was very fond of the use of uchiwas, for she also possesd wind style. She used the wind from the uchiwas to magnify her fire jutsu".

" Indra met her in battle one day and was enchanted by her beauty and respected her power. Over time Indra grew very fond of her. Yugao's kindness and caring nature eventually winning over Indra' s cold heart, and the two were married shortly after.

The loved they shared was like any other, they could speak without words, only eye contact, or body language. A love so powerful the gods themselves couldn't break them apart. Yugao was Indra' s only weakness, the only one who ever broke down walls and seen into his heart and soul

However fate struck the two lovers soon after the birth of their fourth child".

Yugao lost her life in an intense battle with a follower of Indra's brother, Ashura. Indra of course was filled with rage, the strong bond of love he shared with his beloved, grew into a even greater hate, he blamed his brother for her death and grew even more bitter towards him. Causing the feud to grow into and even bigger blood bath.

Indra, grief stricken, was never the same, he grew more and more unstable with each moment she wasn't by his side, pushing the curse of hatred even further".

"He formed anew clan name and symbol in her honor. The clan that is known today as the Uchiha and the uchiwa she used is your famed symbol, like the one you two adorn on your backs". Sasuke snd Sakura snapped back to present time. Kitsune proceeded.

"Yugao was the first ever matriarch of the Uchiha, so isn't it fitting that her reincarnation has been given that very same title", she shifted her gazed to Sakura.

"Me"? Sakura gasped eyes wide. Kitsune nodded.

" Yes, you are the reincarnation of Yugao Otsusuki, although subconsciously you've always known Sakura". "You always were drawn to Sasuke, no matter what he said or, how he hurt you, you still felt an invisible bond pulling you together".

Sakura nodded slowly. "That's because even now centuries later the love that touched the hearts of your previous lives flows through you two".

"I know Sasuke had always felt a certain pull towards you as well. Though he'd never admit it, you're the last person he'd ever want to be away from", she said winking at Sasuke. Sasuke looked down eyes hiding in his hair.

" Its a rather romantic notion isn't it, you two seem to always find a way back to each other, no matter what generation, or what trials and tribulations stand before you".

Kitsune stared at Sakura for a moment, " Although it's different with you two, Sasuke has long since broken the curse of hatred, leaving it up to you two to start fresh", she smiled sweetly.

" Especially with the new addition to the Uchiha fast on the way", she cooed touching Sakura's stomach

Sakura's head snapped up, "What"! She choked out.

"Oh", you didn't know"? Kitsune asked. " It's a girl".

Sakura, stood frozen for what seemed like forever. Sakura looked up to Kitsune with a nervous smile and said, "Thank you for sharing our history with us, please excuse me, Sakura bowed and bolted away.

Sasuke stood completely quiet, trying to contemplate what just happened, with eyes wide and mouth parted.

"It seems you have a family once more Sasuke, I know you'll do everything in your power to protect this one, I would know," Kitsune smirked confidently.

Sasuke's eyes were blacked out by his hair, he stood quiet for a moment then said.

" I'll never let that happen again, I'll protect them no matter what, even if that means I have to be away from the to keep them safe".

"That you will Sasuke", Kitsune said.

Sasuke thanked Kitsune and departed to look for Sakura.

He searched for a few hours before deciding to go back to their inn. He found her there locked in the bathroom.

"Sakura", he called, he was met with silence. She opened the door a few minutes later, her face glowing with happiness, she stared at him, her eyes gleamed with tears, "Sasuke-kun", she breathed out.

"Is it true", Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded, she had run to the nearest hospital and practically begged for a quick pregnancy test, the result was positive.

"I just can't believe I didn't notice, it was so obvious", Sakura said face palming herself.

Sasuke's eyes widened, then softened his expression staring down lovingly at Sakura. He lightly tapped her forehead, she looked up with a blush on her face.

"Thank you, Sakura".

"For what, Sasuke-kun"? She asked confused.

"For giving me a new family", he said softly.

Sakura's eyes filled with tears, "Your welcome Sasuke-kun".

As time went by and Sakura's belly grew and grew.

Sakura gasped, "Sasuke-kun"!

"What is it"!? Sasuke asked ready for anything.

Sakura grabbed his hand, and placed it on her stomach, tiny feet kicked Sasuke's hand. Sasuke's eyes widened with surprise. Sakura smiled, "She's very active this morning", she said.

Sasuke, with his hand still on Sakura's stomach, gave a soft smile, "Aah, he replied.

It had been eight months, since they found out Sakura was with child. Her pregnancy had been fairly pleasant only slight morning sickness if she ate something the baby didn't like, and only had minor heartburn. Sakura was radiant she wore pregnancy well, her hair had grown longer and shinier, her skin seemed to glow and she was always in high spirits.

Sasuke's eyes then grew really serious, his gentle smirk fading something had been on his mind lately and he felt now was the best time to voice it to Sakura. "Sakura I think you should go back to Konoha".

Sakura froze and with eyes wide she turned to face Sasuke.

"Why"? She asked voice quivering. Sasuke looked at her with a somber expression.

"You need to be taken care of properly, and see to it the baby is born in a nice, clean hospital". Sakura looked down at her protruding abdomen, she gently stroked the spot where the baby had just kicked. Sakura knew he was right she had been wondering about where her child would be born also, but it still hurt her that he had said that only she needed to go back.

" I understand what your saying, I've delivered plenty of babies, but it's doubtful I'll be able to deliver my own, and in the event of a complication itd be even more difficult".

Sasuke stared at his wife's stomach. Inwardly thanking the gods she had understood.

"But", Sakura said interrupting Sasuke's thoughts, I really want you to be there for the birth of our daughter, I'll need your support and more importantly you need to at least be there for your childs entrance into the world, so she can meet you, so you can hold our precious creation in your arms, and let her know youll always be there for her, I wouldn't want you to miss something as special and important as that".

Sasuke face twisted, guilt plastered on his features, he looked down at the ground his eyes blacked out by his hair. He knew she was right, he really did wanna be there for his wife and his child.

"Come back with me Anata", Sakura said almost in a whisper.

"I.. I just i don't feel like I belong there anymore", Sasuke spoke equally as quiet as Sakura had.

"But you do Sasuke-kun, and you belong with me... with us", she said with a sweet smile.

Sasuke looked to his wife , he couldn't help but agree. "I'll go back to Konoha with you", he said , then gazed softly at his wife.

"Let's go home Sasuke-kun"

"Uchiha's huh"? A hooded man smirked in the shadows watching the couple intently.

" The woman isn't Uchiha by blood, but she carries his child", spoke one of the hooded man's subordinates.

The hooded man smiled evilly, " The child will no doubt have the sharingan, especially with who her father is! He chuckled wickedly, I must have that child!

He turned to his group of ten shinobi, " is the mission clear"?

"Yes sir, obtain the woman and the child, avoid Uchiha", they said in unision.

The hooded man turned his attention back to the Uchiha's, he smirked suddenly, Well we'd better get ready, it seems we've been noticed.
