SH Day 12- ANBU Black Ops

@sasuhinamonth

たえる Part 2 (taeru=to endure)

Part 1

Rated M, Ninja Universe that underwent some changes (you’ll see that I use major events in the canon world but there is a lot of history that’s altered), OOC (major OOC for Hinata especially)

Warning: self-harm, mental health, sexual harassment, trauma

Hello, dears, I play quite a bit with chronology in this chapter, I hope it's all easy to understand. I made moth things be during summer so around the time of the girl SH month which is why in all the cases you'll see Sasuke is 1year older than Hina, since his bday is in July and hers in December. I hope you enjoy, ~Love Dia

Sasuke, age 23

I think it’s fair for me to say that I’ve been through a lot, not many things shake me anymore and all the things that have made me worried in the past years have had something in common, they were all somehow related to Hinata. I remember when I woke up after the war, I was chained to a hospital bed, placed under a jutsu that blocked my chakra, I was missing a limb and I was on the verge of insanity once more. The only thing that calmed me down was her image. Even without my chakra I searched for hers. She too was in the hospital; I found her signature light purple chakra but it was so faint and small I almost missed it. Seeing her like that made me crazy with worry, once everyone left my room, I broke all the chains and dragged myself to her room despite the pain. I hadn’t thought of her as fragile since our reunion when she was 15. I could barely stand to see her that way, and even if I wanted to stay and watch over her for longer, I could feel Naruto’s chakra getting closer, which meant I had to leave. For the following weeks I could only go and see her late at night, for there was always someone in her room, Naruto, her father, her sister, some sort of nurse or medic. I recovered under a month, yet I stayed until she woke up.

I was the only one in the room when her eyes opened, she looked confused and for a moment I was sure she had amnesia and would not remember me, us. But for the briefest moment her eyes rested upon my figure and recognition was there, relief was there, gratitude, affection and many other nuances that I can never seem to read or fully comprehend reflected in her eyes. I took her hand and kissed the back of it, allowing myself a small selfish gesture before leaving the room to inform the medics she woke up. Sakura gave me a strange, questioning look when I told her Hinata had woken up, but I didn’t care about subtlety at that second, I just wanted them to check her for any issues, I wanted her to be physically fine.

She didn’t have many memories of the war when she was first questioned, but they came back in waves and waves. I could tell that the questions overwhelmed her, much like the people that littered around, there were over 10 visitors in her tiny hospital room, from her father to Naruto, Kiba and many others. I just watched the whole situation from outside her window. I noticed her looking around, searching for someone that wasn’t there. No, it wasn’t me, she knew I wouldn’t be there when other people were, I knew exactly who she was searching for, that’s why I wanted to be close by. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, I knew things would take a turn for the worse soon enough. I saw it, the exact moment the fog raised off of her memories, the moment in which reality hit her, the moment in which the remaining light in her eyes died.

She asked for Neji, Naruto cringed, her father was the one to inform her of his passing. She asked when the funeral was going to be and silence fell onto the room. Sakura tried to slowly explain that the war ended two months ago and all the dead were already long buried. Hinata cried, she cried for her fallen cousin, she cried for missing his funeral, she cried for herself. They all gave her hugs and condolences, they reassured her that none of that was her fault. They all expected her to mourn and soon enough bounce back to the façade she always kept around the people in the village. They were unaware of the emotional depth her sadness could reach. I knew their expectations would never be met, I could tell that the headspace she was in was similar to the night I found her on the forest floor, she had the same look in her eyes as when she constantly begged me to let her die. Knowing all of that, I expected her to make certain choices, yet, despite knowing what was to come, I was unable to help, there wasn’t a single moment in which she was alone for a week to come. And when it all happened, I panicked at the notion of her death and responded wrongly to her actions.

I wasn’t watching her when she attempted to kill herself, I was with Tsunade who kept insisting that I accept their fake arm. I was in the midst of refusing once more, when I could feel a commotion in her room, I left without a word and ran there. The image that was in front of me wasn’t surprising but it was just as heart-breaking. Hinata’s bed was covered in blood, her left wrist was being treated by Sakura but you could still see the long and slim-cut along her wrist, Naruto was holding her other arm trying to put pressure on her wrist to stop the bleeding. It scared me, the amount of blood on herself and the bed, her light-headedness and indifference indicated that she had been bleeding for a long time. She waited for a moment in which I wasn’t there either, she wanted to escape me too. Had Naruto and Sakura been late they might have found her corpse instead. I left the room to calm myself down, I couldn’t cause a commotion. I tried my best to come up with kind and comforting words to tell her later when I would return to her room, but when I did, the image that greeted me, her arms strapped to the bed, made me lose my composure. I screamed at her, I can’t even recall what I said but I know it was very inappropriate, she laughed, she cried. Trying to comfort her with only one arm was difficult, that was the very first moment when I even considered accepting Tsunade’s offer, but in the end I didn’t. I spent every night that followed with her, after the initial shock I was able to recall the words I meant to give her, I knew they weren’t going to miraculously fix everything but I felt that she needed them nonetheless.

She apologized for considering that path and acting on her thoughts. I undid her chains and pulled her to my lap as she talked. “The moment my eyes moved past Naruto’s shoulders and I saw you in the door frame I regretted my choice, I wished I could undo it if only to never have to see that look on your face” I placed my face into her hair and just breathed her in. “I think I understand a little better now…what you felt when Itachi died, when you found out the truth. Our situations aren’t the same but I remember how…” she stopped, searching for the perfect word.

“Crazy? Unhinged? Mad?” I provided, but she frowned and shook her head.

“No, no, none of those…how anguished, sorrowful, wretched you were at the time. You come to me in a very agitated state, I was scared and concerned but couldn’t grasp that feeling. Now I do” If I’m honest I don’t remember how felt at the time, I don’t remember many things about that period of my life, all I know is that I wanted to give up, I thought I had made only wrong choices in my life, but I saw her and I remembered that even I could save someone.

After a few more nights she assured me that she was now mentally stable, her sadness was still very much present, but she had not had any self-harming thoughts. The decision to leave the village was very difficult at the time, but Hinata assured me that she enjoyed our routine and wished to continue it. I left but our correspondence was much more frequent than before the war, I would write her every other day and she’d reply as soon as my messages reached her. It took a bit over 3 months for her to resume her work as an ANBU, and a bit over 8 months in total to convince Kakashi to promote her to ANBU Black Ops. Her missions became more difficult and longer, she even had a mission in Amegakure that lasted half a year. When she first sent me the message informing me of the location of her mission it reminded me of our first encounter after I left the village. Our encounter that summer isn’t a memory I think of fondly, I was cruel, I was insane, I abused my knowledge of her trauma. Whenever I remember my actions, I want to go back and rewind the time, I want to apologize to 15-year-old Hinata, she was meek and fragile and I broke a part of her. She was doing her best to survive and to keep going and I was a huge obstacle in her recovery. When my feelings for her started changing I was always self-conscious whether they were genuine or not, wasn’t I using her? Wasn’t I just feeling guilty?

Hinata, age 15

I am nervous as I pack my bag for this mission, it is my first solo mission ever. 6 months after I became a Jonin and Tsunade finally trusts me enough to allow me to go alone in a mission. The destination is Amegakure and the mission is supposed to last for about to 3 weeks. The difficulty level of the mission is only B which I’d be pretty annoyed at, but the distance factor and the solo factor make up for it so, I am equally nervous and excited. When I told Neji about the mission he was concerned but didn’t show it much for my sake. Instead, he congratulated me and we had a small picnic in the outer skirt of the Hyuuga estate as celebration.

Now I am looking through my dresser for appropriate clothes for the rain to pack, I have to look for another set of kunais just in case and prepare myself a couple of bentos to have on hand. Slowly, the closer the night before my departure gets the less anxious I am, excitement seems to be the winning sentiment.

The morning of, I wake up at 4:30 a.m. and am unable to sleep longer. By the time I am fully dressed and ready to go it’s only 5:00 a.m. and the sun is barely raising, but I decide that it is light enough outside for me to leave. As always whenever I pass through the forest there’s a chill going through my veins and my enthusiasm is a bit dampened, I actively try and avoid that specific place even if it means it will add to the journey time. On the schedule, Tsunade gave me I’m meant to spend 8 days on the road to the village, approximately 4 or 5 days into the village and 8 more days back.

The mission itself isn’t supposed to be that difficult all I need to do is meet with different people in the village give them the scrolls Tsunade gave me and wait for their replies. All in all, there should be no fighting, I’m mostly a messenger but the large amount of people that need contacting made it impossible for a summon raven to deliver the scrolls. My adrenaline rush of being on my own, experiencing what freedom feels like made me speed up during the journey, I took less stops and didn’t even spend the night in one of the Inns I was supposed to. Thus, not only did I depart earlier than planned but I arrived into the village almost a day and a half ahead of the schedule. Since it’s still barely past noon I decide to start the mission a day early and I am able to cover a fifth of the task on the first day.

People usually when talking about Amegakure call it gloomy and depressing, but I enjoy walking around in the rain, the temperature isn’t too high despite it being the middle of a heatwave everywhere else, the smell and sounds of rain also add to its charm. The Inn I’m supposed to stay at for the duration of my mission is on the outside of the village, it is away from the noise of the centre, but not far out enough to say it isn’t part of the village at all. Walking into my room I sit down and finally grasp that I am days away from Konoha, I am alone. The realization makes me emotional; I hadn’t realized how much I needed to be on my own, how good it would feel to put distance between me and everything that Konoha entailed.

Sitting alone in the dark, only with the occasional lightning brightening up my room, I make a decision, I promise myself to only ever come on solo missions. I’ve endured years of discomfort so I deserved to feel this way, if only during missions. I take a shower and go to bed, I’m not as physically tired as I thought I would be after the journey and that worries me. I don’t want the nightmare to come and ruin my mood, but I close my eyes nonetheless.

It feels like barely a second passed when I open my eyes and see the cool light coming from outside. The sun is hidden behind the clouds of rain, but its light still pushes through to an extent. I had no dreams, no nightmares. I rested well and I feel better than I did in many years. I walk barefoot onto the cold wooden floor and I open the window, not caring that the rain is getting both me and the floor wet. I close my eyes and feel immensely liberated, the heavy chains that dragged me down at all times disappeared. Nobody here knows me and I don’t know them, I am but a face in the crowd, this anonymity offers me the independence I never knew before.

I complete the mission in under 3 days. I feel faster, stronger, happier here. It feels like I can do anything and everything. I have about 3 days I can waste in the village, under normal circumstances I’d return immediately to Konoha to get another mission and the cycle would repeat. But I decide to stay here for a while longer, I want to enjoy this feeling to the best of my ability. The day right after completing the mission I simply stay inside and sleep almost the whole day. I’m recharging my batteries which have been on low for 3 years now. I forgot what being well-rested felt like.

The following day I decide to wander around some more. The mission had me walk all over the village’s centre so, I decide to check out its outskirt more. I go and eat delicious food at a small booth owned by an older couple. Due to its relatively small scale Amegakure’s buildings are much much higher than those from Konoha so I climb on top of one that I deem to be among the highest and sit there, in the rain just watching the busy streets, looking over all the sky-high buildings and enjoying the feeling of being unrestrained by people’s gazes and expectations. For the smallest second, I feel someone’s gaze on me but I discard it as being the locals looking at the strange outsider that’s standing in the rain. I refuse to let my mood be dampened, not when I am just as high as this building is.

I return to the Inn and decide to take a shower, tomorrow is going to be my last day here and I feel like time is moving far too fast. I’m rinsing my hair when I get the same feeling as before, like someone is watching me. Before I can dismiss it again, I hear steps behind me, my mind goes blank. I’m suddenly turned around by a powerful hand, before closing my eyes I see a pair of black dead, unfeeling, cold, cruel, scary, scary, scary, scary eyes. I close my eyes and clench my jaw; I can feel tears trailing down my face. I’m hyperventilating, I can’t move, I’m weak, I’m small. I whimper when I feel his hand touching the scar right above my pelvis. The touch transports me back to when I’m 12 and on the ground, my legs no longer support me, the only reason why I’m still standing is because the man is holding my arm in an iron grip. The moment passes and his hand is gone allowing me to fall to my knees and then onto my butt. I have no idea how long I stay there in a trance. When I’m finally able to regain strength in my limbs to feel and make small movements I notice the shower water is freezing cold despite it being set to warm. I turn it off and walk into the room, there’s no trace of the man anymore, he didn’t do anything beyond touching my arm and my scar. Maybe he was simply created by my brain, yea no one was here, how could they be, why would they be.

I can feel myself slipping into hysteria as laughter bubbles up into my throat. I look around the room again searching for proof again and I sigh in relief when I find none. I’m finally calm enough to get dressed but I make the mistake of looking in the mirror. There’s a handprint on my arm where he gripped me. The print is red and turning a weird purple colour in places and yellow in others. He was here. He was real. I take small breaths in order to calm myself, I am fine, I am here, I can’t even picture the face of the man that was here, I try to force myself to forget the handprint, it was just a dream, another nightmare.

I pack my things and leave that very night despite being tired physically, mentally and emotionally. I don’t want to return to Konoha, and I can’t stay here, I don’t know where to go. The freedom I felt before gave me an amazing sense of accomplishment, but now it is a source of unease. I feel lost and like I do not belong anywhere. I feel insignificant. I feel lonely. I close my eyes and just sit on the floor outside of the village, waiting for something or someone to come get me. But nothing happens and the weather is turning cold despite the summer so I pick myself up and start walking wherever the road will take me.

I don’t remember the journey back home, I can’t even tell in how many days I completed it, I didn’t stop at all, I just ran. I ran from the man, the past, I ran from my weak self. I thought myself to be strong now that I am a Jonin, but I froze and was unable to do anything all the same. I need to be more than I am, I need to be stronger, braver, untouchable, more perceptive.

I hate myself for hesitating to enter the Konoha, I hate myself for hesitating to take on a new mission when Tsunade offers it. I hate myself when I have to walk through the halls of the Hyuuga compound, I hate myself when I hide from Neji. I hate myself when I walk into my room and burst into tears. I hate myself for getting my hope that high in Ame only to have them all crash and burn. I hate that I feel more broken today than I did 3 weeks ago.

Sasuke, age 16

I’ve been in a weird mood since a week ago when I saw Hyuuga in the Village Hidden in Rain. I hadn’t heard or seen anything related to Konoha since I left during the Chunnin exam. She was my first contact with it. Hinata Hyuuga, I remember her name clearly, she holds a special meaning to me, she is a life I saved. I saved her back before I was caught up in any business with Orochimaru, when I still thought following Kakashi was the right path to take, back when I was stupid and naïve. I hadn’t thought of her since that moment, but when my eyes fell onto her, I felt proud that she survived, but I also felt the need, the urge to utterly crush her beneath my feet. Her life belongs to me; I saved her so, I have every right to destroy her.

I could tell she was uncomfortable with me there, I felt her flinch as I traced the scar above her pelvis, I heard her whimper when I turned around, and I saw from the corner of my eye, as her legs have in and she fell to the floor. She looked small and pathetic and I felt strong in comparison.

However, now, days later I feel…guilt. I feel as if I used something against her that I shouldn’t have. At the time her image was blurry and not something I paid attention to, but I can clearly see it now whenever I close my eyes. He white skin had almost no imperfections besides the three scars, her eyes were shut tight, her face was red and wet, at the time I gloated at the thought that the water droplets were tears, now I’m hoping they were from the shower. Her long dark hair was wet and clinging to her body. She did her best to hide from me with her hands, with her position slightly bent. She was helpless, she didn’t even try to stop me, she didn’t scream or fight back, she froze in place and allowed me to do whatever I wanted. At the time that too made me feel powerful, I deluded myself into thinking that my presence as Sasuke Uchiha made her cower in fear. Now that I am analysing things once more, I realize it was her trauma that rendered her powerless, it was my presence that caused her fear, but she wasn’t scared of me, Sasuke, but rather of me, a male; she didn’t see me as an individual but as the image of the man that hurt her in the past.

Realizing that in her mind I was equal to that disgusting piece of trash makes me livid. I clench my jaw, pick up the first thing I see, a jar of whatever substance from one of Orochimaru’s labs and I throw it to the wall. The green liquid escapes its container and slowly eats away at the wall and ground, the sizzling noise and putrid smell don’t even bother me. I’m angry at her, I want to find her and scream in her face that I’m not that man. I wanna shake her until she understands. I am mad at her, at myself. Kabuto comes in and curses, he drags me out and talks under his breath, his presence adds to my anger.

“What do you want?” I ask him, I’m looking down at him. I grew taller these past few weeks, taller than him. I want him to pick a fight, I want a reason to smash his face in. The image of his bloody face as he lays unconscious on the ground would bring me the satisfaction I need. He looks mockingly at me, that’s enough to start a fight.

Less than 20 minutes later the fight is over, he’s not unconscious, he’s still standing, more precisely, walking away. But he is bleeding and so am I. The fight didn’t help. I still feel angry, but my anger is slowly being overshadowed by guilt.

The sudden urge to find her and apologize overcomes me, but I dismiss it. She’s long gone…I checked. The two of us won’t meet anytime soon and even if we do, I’ll never apologize, not to her, not to someone that…weak…

Hinata age 22

After sleeping in until 11 after all, I wake up to Sasuke’s face next to mine, I feel at ease, I feel happy. I cup his face and place a kiss over his closed eyelids. I feel his change in breath when he wakes up but his eyes remain closed. His arm comes around my waist and pulls me closer to him, slowly he opens his eyes and offers me a lazy smirk. For a while I forget that we’re in Konoha, I forget everything about people trying to control me. All my worries just disappear with his presence.

“What are you thinking about?” he asks and brushes my bangs out of my eyes. ‘You’ I want to say, but I decide to be selfish instead. I sit up and he does too, I move towards him and place myself on his lap, we are chest to chest, face-to-face. “I am unsure how long they’ll make me stay here. This... sensei job…they could stretch it for months, who knows.” I hate that that’s true, I hate that they’re trying to cage me into the village. “it’s difficult being here for an indefinite period of time, especially since I don’t have out missions to look forward to. So…” I stop talking, rethinking what I’m about to ask, wondering if it’s worth it, but he looks at me with no judgement, he’s waiting patiently. “So…I was thinking. Maybe being here in Konoha would be better…if you were here as well” Part of me initially regrets the words and wants to take them back.

“You want me to stay here until you can go back to your normal missions” he didn’t formulate it as a question so I didn’t reply, mostly because I didn’t trust myself not to say no, to act like it was a joke, so I stay silent. “Ok, I will” his hand is on my wrist and it’s slowly moving up under my tank top. “You should already know that anything you ask of me, I’ll do Hinata” I do know that, but this was something that I had been afraid to ask for a while. Would staying in Konoha be better with him here? It must be.

We talk some more about his stay in Konoha and then proceed to eat a late breakfast. “I passed by the cottage outside of Amegakure on my way to Konoha” that cottage will forever represent my safe space, all my memories in it are out-of-this-world happy. The cottage itself is pretty much outside every territory of every village, it belongs to nobody, yet that’s the place I feel I belong in. I stayed there for my thirst or fourth mission as an ANBU, as usual Sasuke met up with me and we live together there for months. Sasuke and I worked together for most of my missions, we completed them faster than it was estimated they would take and we spent the remaining of the time just being together outside of all the rules of everyone. That was the place in which after much deliberation and inner-fights I decided to put my trust in him. By then we had already expressed our feelings verbally and with actions such as kisses and hugs, but I wanted to move past that because I craved that closeness with someone, I wanted a stronger bond between us, but also out of spite, I wanted to prove that I was able to enjoy sex. I wanted to prove that what had happened no longer affected me. Out first time was a bit awkward, we were both virgins, Sasuke was overly conscious of making me feel comfortable and I just wanted it to be done with so our desired speed didn’t match, but it happened and it was fine. The second and third time around it was much better and now we reached a point in which intimacy with him doesn’t scare me in the least, I love it and it makes me feel amazing. I am aware that I’m not fully over the incident, the close proximity of strange men that I don’t know still bothers me at times, however, I am much stronger and able to protect myself, I am just...wary.

I end my train of thoughts by going back to the memory of our first time and it makes me giggle a little. Sasuke asks me with his eyes what I’m laughing about and my reply is only a smirk, I see the wheels spinning in his brain and the connections being made. I love that after so many years we’re able to just understand each other in this manner. He gets up from his chair and walks around the table to place his hand on the nape of my neck. “I can show you how much I’ve improved since than” he whispers and bends down to kiss me. I smile against his lips and loop my arms around his neck allowing him to pick me up.

I must have fallen asleep again because I am woken up this time by Naruto loudly knocking on my door. He left me alone yesterday because Sasuke was around but I guess even his long-lost best friend can’t keep his attention off of me for more than 24 hours. I look next to me and my heart hurts because Sasuke isn’t there. I tell myself it’s because he felt Naruto so he left, but I still don’t like that.

Naruto keep knocking on the door and I’m sure he’s about to tear it down if I don’t open it soon so I walk to it in my pjs with my hair a mess. When I open the door, he stops in his tracks. “Oh…” his eyes linger onto the scar on my shoulder, he has an obsession with it I’ve noticed. Does he believe that’s my biggest scar…if only he knew. “I didn’t know you were sleeping, I’m sorry”

“After yesterday’s mission the kids have the day off so I wanted to rest” I don’t assure him that it is ok even though I know that’s the polite thing to do. I am bitter and annoyed that Sasuke isn’t there. For a split moment when I woke up, I thought I had imagined his presence.

“I just wanted to bring these to you.” He says and presents me with a pile of papers. “I know you were given them before when Kakashi assigned you as their sensei” hah, like it was Kakashi’s idea. Hokage-sama wouldn’t have pushed me into being a sensei from a Black Ops and we all know that. I know Naruto pulled all of the strings to get me here, however, Kakashi-san is also to blame for allowing all of this to happen “but I think you should really read them well, you said you have a free day today. I can stay here with you and read them together”

I look at him and his easy-going smile. On normal days I’d try and be nice, but all I want to do today is spend my time in peace. “I heard Uchiha-san is back. Are you sure you want to spend the day with me reading about some kids rather than catch up with him?” I feel sorry for guiding Naruto towards Sasuke, but I know Sasuke and if he’s one thing, he’s good at not being found.

Upon hearing Sasuke’s name Naruto’s smile brightened to the extent that it actually hurt my eyes. “I already saw and talked to him today” He left before Naruto came here, was it before we ate? After? When did they meet? “We talked and agreed to go on a mission together this week” He’s leaving after I asked him to stay “We went to Kakashi and already got all the info, so I’ll spend a lot of time together with him and find out all about what he’s been up to in these years and I ---” Naruto keeps talking but I feel suffocated.

Got tagged by a bunch of people for this. Sorry it took so long!

List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!

20. It had been a pipe dream, anyway. She knows that. They’re at war, have been for years, and there is no time for anything so sentimental. -- The End of Everything, Naruto, a sort of prologue to a multi-chapter fic, to be published for KakaSaku Month.

19. Sakura was desperate. After two weeks of couch surfing at Sasuke and Naruto’s apartment, she had had enough. She loved her boys, but Naruto was terrible about personal space and Sasuke was just...Sasuke, and together they were a disaster and she was going to wring their necks. -- Shut Up and Dance, Naruto, ShiSaku modern AU multi-chapter to be published for ShiSaku weekend.

18. Sakura went into labor at an ungodly hour, her hands holding Kakashi’s in a death grip that made his bones crack. -- Beautiful With You, Naruto, KakaSaku oneshot in the Here’s To Us series, 400 follower giveaway prize.

17. The summons came right as Shisui sat down to eat dinner. He looked longingly at his plate and sighed, shoveling as much as he could in his mouth before the phone blinked angrily at him again. The screen lit for just a moment, but it was long enough for him to see a message from Hokage Tower with a crow emoji. ANBU then. -- And So We Burn, Naruto, KakaSakuShi multi-chapter in the Souls On Fire series.

16. “I’m gonna catch you, Uchiha Shisui!”

Shisui paused on a tree branch and crouched down to look at the fuming academy student who glared up at him from the ground below. Her long pink hair was tangled with tiny sticks and leaves, and she had dirt smudges on her clothes and skin from her mad run through the training ground, but the fire in her jade green eyes was brighter than the sun. -- Catch Me If You Can, Naruto, ShiSaku one-shot for ShiSaku Day 2021.

15. The universe was determined to hate her. First, the Fourth Shinobi War, a homicidal goddess, reincarnated kages, and now… Now she couldn’t go home because it was gone. Crushed to rubble during the battle, her parents inside.

She stared at the wreckage, gaze focused on nothing and everything at once. She could see what had been, overlapping how it was now. The small family home with the cheerful blue shutters and the neat garden was now a pile of rubble. Some of the bricks were stained with blood, and she knew that it was probably from her parents but she couldn’t conceptualize it without breaking down. -- All That I Am Living For, Naruto, Team 7 gen fic with some NaruSaku oneshot in the Here’s To Us series.

14. The first time Haruno Sakura took his breath away was the day he made the mistake of letting her hit him during a friendly spar. -- Leave Me Breathless, Naruto, ShiSaku oneshot.

13. Haruno Sakura was grateful for coffee. And for clear skies and uneventful days and genin teams finally learning how not to fall out of trees. Right now though, she was most thankful for coffee. -- Familiar Taste of Poison, Naruto, KakaSaku multi-chapter in the Here’s To Us series.

12. “I want you to teach me the oiroke no jutsu.”

Wide blue eyes stared at her incredulously as Sakura threw back another shot of tequila and slammed the cup on the bar. When he stared at her open mouthed for too long, she leaned against the bar and poked his cheek. “I’m serious, Naruto. Teach me.”

Naruto blinked at her and then huffed a laugh. “Seriously?”

Her grin was lazy and just a bit tipsy, but she wasn’t drunk. Neither was he, and she was one hundred percent serious. “Seriously.” -- Bringing Sexy Back, Naruto, Team 7 gen fic in the Here’s To Us series.

11. “Sakura-chan, you’re a girl.”

Sakura turned her head and regarded Naruto with apprehension. He had matured over the years, but sometimes… Sometimes she wondered if he had actually grown up at all. -- Questions Redux, Naruto, KakaSaku oneshot.

10. Sakura tugged the blanket tighter over her shivering body, adjusting it further when she pulled her knees up to her chest in an attempt to trap even more body heat. It wasn’t the most comfortable position, but it offered warmth and that was her main concern. Not that it would help much. She was always cold at night and no matter what position she contorted her body into, or how tightly she pulled the blankets over her, she always awoke shivering and sore. -- Space Heater, Naruto, Team 7 gen oneshot.

9. “Can I put them in now?”

“Is the water boiling yet?”

“No…”

“Then not yet.” Sakura didn’t bother turning around as she finished chopping carrots for the salad brushing them into the bowl with a kunai. “Can you hand me the dressing?” -- How About Now, Naruto, KakaSaku oneshot.

8. Kakashi had always been an enigma. It was difficult to tell what the jounin was thinking, although if you got an answer out of him you knew it was the truth, because he never lied. His approach to questions was not to tell you the exact answer to your question. Rather, he would say something equally true and related enough to change the subject or provide an answer, just not quite the one you were looking for. -- Knowing You, Naruto, KakaSaku oneshot.

7. Naruto was thrilled when one of his best friends announced that her unborn child was craving ramen. Sakura had only mentioned it because she knew that if she didn’t and he found out that she had visited Ichiraku without him she would never hear the end of it, and she hadn’t spent time with him in several weeks because of their increasingly busy schedules. She missed him. Not that she would tell him that because he might crow it from the rooftops. -- The Making of a Legend, Naruto, Team 7 gen oneshot.

6. It was a very strange occurrence for Echizen Ryouma to be the first of the regulars to reach the locker room in the morning. Ryouma valued his sleep over most anything (save tennis, Ponta and Karupin), and getting him out of bed was a job in itself, but somehow he had managed. His mannerisms hadn’t changed much over the past three years, and he would still sleep in if it weren’t for a particular incentive that got him up earlier in the morning. -- Pre-game, Prince of Tennis, RyoFuji oneshot.

5. Haruno Sakura arched her back, smiling when she heard several pops from her spine. The boat ride home was relaxing with the gentle rocking on the waves, but the wooden plank she sat on was killing her back and hips. The mission had been long, but she couldn’t say she hadn’t enjoyed it. It had been years since Team Seven had all been together again. Now, all jounin – with Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi occasionally working as Anbu – it became increasingly rare for them all to be paired together for a mission. -- Questions, Naruto, KakaSaku oneshot.

4. You had promised to live a mortal life and now, with your hair gray and brittle and your skin paper thin, you are dying. You led a healthy, peaceful life with your beloved and the other vampires in the mansion, working for most of it as a gardener and occasional errand runner, but it has been more than sixty years and you are tired. -- One Good Turn, Ikemen Vampire, oneshot.

3. Aella should have known Sebastian was up to something when he sent her to wake Napoleon Bonaparte. The tiny uptick of his lips, the gleam in his eyes, and the glances from the others when they saw her taking the stairs was enough of a clue. No one said a word, but she felt their eyes on her as she walked past. Intrigued, she didn’t say a word until she reached the ex-emperor’s door, knocking smartly and calling his name out of politeness. Sebastian had warned her that it was difficult to wake him, but she didn’t want to be rude. As she had been told, there was no reply, and so after a murmured “excuse me” she let herself in. -- Wake Up Service, Ikemen Vampire, Napoleon/OC, oneshot.

2. I’m nervous to start this interview. I’ve been a fan of Given since their first show, and now, 4 years later, they’re bigger than ever. Given had an explosive beginning, and their popularity has grown over the years to become one of the most popular bands in Japan. I’m honored to be interviewing them, both as a lover of music and also as a fan. -- Given Today, Given, RitsuMafu and KajiHaru oneshot.

1. It had only taken a few days for Captain Hook, dashing rapscallion that he was, to get sick of sleeping in a room at Granny's and begin searching for a ship. The stillness of a bed on dry land was strange, leading to many sleepless nights full of tossing and turning before he gave up and went hunting for a sea-faring vessel that would suit his needs. Unfortunately, Storybrooke was not the best place to look for such things. Boats were scarce, and none of them were up to his usual standards. -- Captain’s Log, Once Upon a Time, CaptainSwan oneshot collection.

In conclusion... I have no idea, omg.

Tagging whoever wants to do this. 💜💜

NOTES

-Kakashi is thirteen when he’s promoted to jounin, which would be after September 15 of 1 BNT. He’s ANBU by the time of the Kyuubi Attack, October 10 of 0 BNT. That’s about a year of wiggle room.

-We don’t have a hard date for when Orochimaru leaves Konoha. It’s after the Kyuubi Attack because Sarutobi is Hokage again and Kakashi is in ANBU. I have it place here as a sort of ‘when it rains it pours’ situation.

-If I recall correctly, the attempt to kidnap Hinata happened on her 3rd birthday. Kumo were in Konoha perhaps a couple days to a week before that, for diplomatic meetings and to scope out the Hyuuga compound.

-Itachi is 9 when he’s promoted to Chuunin. His birthday is in June, which means he got promoted during the Summer Exams. Likewise, he was accepted into ANBU when he was 10, so July or later in the following year. Then, he’s promoted to ANBU Captain at thirteen.

-Uchiha Massacre. I don’t believe we’re ever given a date for it, other than it happens after Itachi is ANBU Captain but while Sasuke is in the Academy. Earliest date would be July of 8 ANT, if he kills his clan right after he gets his promotion. ( @secret-engima, if you want to have Sasuke be seven for this, it will have to be between June 9th and July 22.) I personally have Itachi killing his Clan at 14 while Sasuke is still 8, hence why I have the Uchiha Massacre listed in two places.

-Asuma’s return from his stint in the 12 Guardian Ninja is never dated. However, I reckon he’d have to be back in Konoha for at least a year, taking jounin missions to be considered for a genin team.

-As far as after the Oto-Suna invasion, time gets really sketchy. But I have Sasuke defect late in the year, to give his attitude time to fester into full blown defection. Naruto leaves Konoha with Jiraiya shortly after that.

-Then it’s the timeskip for 2.5 years, and the only real thing of note is the Chuunin Exams jointly held between Konoha and Suna. Giving Gaara time to become Kazekage, I put it at the Summer Exams. In canon, Neji makes the jump from genin to full jounin (which doesn’t make sense to me but whatever.)

-Naruto returns to Konoha 2.5 years after he left, putting his return in May of 16 ANT. Shortly after that we have the Kazekage Rescue Mission and the Tenchi Bridge Mission.

-After that though, I’ve spaced things out again, because there is so little information on when stuff happens. Also because we need to stretch things out until the 4th War.

-I have the Kage Summit taking place in late winter/early spring, because as someone who lives in a place with lots of snow for part of the year, we get most of our snow at the beginning and end of winter. Middle of winter is simply to darn cold to get lots of snow, and in the Kage Summit arc we see some pretty heavy snowfall. So, February or March it is. (Where I live, we just got snow like mid-April, and have on record that the only month we’ve never gotten snow being July.)

-War prep is going to take a while. At least a handful of months. The shinobi might be ready to go, but logistics say otherwise. The villages also highly likely took every able-bodied shinobi they had, including those from the inactive reserves.

-Canonically, Naruto turns 17 during the Fourth War, so that puts us right around October 10 for that. Which makes sense, harvest is mostly (if not completely) done by then, and the hidden villages have to answer to their daimyo. The daimyo are not going to want their ninjas fighting and possibly wrecking the harvests. Which, if Obito had really wanted to cripple the Hidden Villages and Elemental Countries, he would have actually done that. Can’t fight back when you’re starving, after all.

Naruto Story Arcs Timeline

So, I have what amounts to two separate timelines that I use for fanfiction purposes. One is only there to show the passage of time during an arc and the passage of time after an arc. The other is there for specific dates I might end up needing to know, later on. A lot of those dates are guesstimates, based on manga research. There is very little research that came specifically from the anime, and that's just because it was easier to look it up in the manga than it was to watch entire anime episodes looking for one thing. Perhaps, the next time I decide to go through the anime, I will keep an eye out for timelining stuff, but really, there's no guarantee.

I have a specific reason for all of the dates I chose (which I will go about explaining on a different post), and as you can see, this timeline isn't complete because I haven't quite gotten to the point of trying to narrow Shippuden down into a specific time frame. Any help or advice on that would be much appreciated.

Bolded names are birthdays, or at least, the ones Ithat fall on specific dates within the timeline; there are a lot of birthdays that didn’t make it in just because of the timing of it all. It's shown with the month and then the day, but I left out anything on the year, since we aren't given a year, and as long as it's all kept in order, it's pretty easy to understand. Note that once I’ve gotten a good timeline for Shippuden worked up, I’ll update the timeline here and probably add another post explaining things again, but for now, this is all I have available at the moment.

Approaching Sun (17)

Author’s Note: Surprise! You get an extra chapter only a couple of weeks apart. The reason is, I will not only be moving into my new house tomorrow, but I'm starting my new job in a couple of weeks and will be relatively busy for quite a while. Just know that I am working on this story in my free time. Here's a new chapter to celebrate the next chapter of my life! :)

P.S. Happy SasuSaku month <3

Pairing: SasuSaku

Previous Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

Chapter 17: Overreacting to the Unexpected

Sakura started to doze heavily beside him, belly full of cooked fish, and a content smile hanging on her face like the crescent in the sky above them. The fire had started fading a while ago but with Sakura so close beside him, he didn’t want to jostle her by moving to get more firewood. When she began to drift into sleep moments earlier, the crackle of the fire filling the silence between them, her head had begun to nod ever so slightly in his direction. It was already difficult enough for him to be sitting right next to her, but when her ear suddenly came to a rest on his right arm, Sasuke froze instantly. Half of him wanted to instantly slip away but Sasuke found that there was another part that wanted to stay.

Just a few more seconds, he thought to himself as Sakura curled up against his side. How was she even able to be so close to him without the same hysteria that was currently squeezing the life out of the Uchiha? It's not that Sasuke hadn't let others touch him before. Karin, for example, was over him all the time, but Sasuke hadn’t ever felt like this. Hell, even Sakura as his teammate for all those years had held him, jumped on him, supported him, and held his hand. Why was this so different from all those other times?

Peering down at her face, Sasuke asked himself, What’s so wrong about this? But then, he remembered why. He recalled those hateful words he spat at Kakashi during the war, right after he had used genjutsu on Sakura to prevent her from following Naruto and himself. I have no reason to love her, or to be loved by her. Even though Sasuke had been denying what was between them; even though he had been clinging desperately to his selfish goal, Sasuke had meant what he said. Especially the part about Sakura having absolutely no reason to love him. At that time, there was no reason for either of them to love one another. Sasuke was consumed in darkness and had thought he would never reciprocate her feelings. Never.

How different it was now, when he stared down at her and felt something for her again.

But, Sasuke just couldn’t let this happen between them; any of it. He wasn’t an idiot. They were alone together on a journey, and even though they were both shinobi focused on a goal, they were still human. If he selfishly allowed this moment, and every other moment that might happen between them play out, he would be betraying his own redemption. He had thought about this before, what would happen to Sakura after all this when he told her he couldn’t come home. He would thoroughly devastate her. He would be the worst of all men at that point, and if it were anyone else, Sasuke would probably have killed the bastard for doing it to her.

I'm sorry, he thought silently before reaching up and supporting her head as he placed her pack under it to support her in his absence. He did it so smoothly that her deep breathing never hitched, and the pink-haired ninja continued to sleep soundly.

Sasuke backed away from her and took up a spot across the dying fire, using it as a mental and physical barrier between them. He watched her silent sleep for a few more minutes before his own eyes grew heavy. He knew that if he fell asleep now, they should be safe. Sasuke had slept silently out in the woods for 2 years. They would be able to rely on their ninja instincts if anything happened.

Or so Sasuke thought, as he finally let sleep take him. When early morning birdsong woke him with the sunrise, Sasuke blinked hard to only find that Sakura was not where he had left her. He sat up straighter, looking around quickly. Where the hell did she go?

Her pack was in the same spot, but it was open and supplies were bulging out of it. Sasuke walked over to it and frowned because she wasn’t there beside it. No need to overreact, he told himself as he surveyed the land before him, the river twining endlessly through the forest landscape beyond.

Sasuke decided to remind himself right then and there, that Sakura could take care of herself. As he followed the river down the forest, in a near frenzy, he recalled all the times that she had done so: against Sasori, the puppet master; in the Fourth Shinobi World War, a Sanin's pupil like himself; against Kido, when Sasuke had showed up to rescue her and discovered that she had already taken care of everything. She was fine, he told himself, as he stalked through the trees, Sharingan activated and purple chakra emanating off of him in waves.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sakura pulled a clean shirt over her wet skin, the fabric clinging to her sides and arms. She slipped on a fresh pair of shorts, thinner black ones that she had packed because they would be more suited for travelling in the heat. Taking her time, enjoying the sun that kissed the river as it colored the sky the same shade of her hair, Sakura reattached her ninja weapons to her legs and side. As she did so, she smiled, remembering her conversation with Sasuke the night before. She still couldn’t believe it, that she was with him, finally walking by his side after so long.

When she woke this morning, the sun was still not up. Sakura had stood and smiled when she located Sasuke's sleeping form across the charred remains of their fire. He had that same expressionless face, even in sleep and Sakura had resisted the urge to laugh to herself about it. She always thought that he had to work so hard to keep it that way all the time, but even when he was unconscious, the mask was unwavering.

Sakura took advantage of his sleep by grabbing a few things from her pack and tiptoeing away from the campsite. Now was the only time where she would be able to wash without having to make Sasuke wait on her. She knew that she could just hold out for the village that they'd reach tonight, but to be honest, she felt rather disgusting having gone two days now without a bath. And so, she walked half a mile down the river bank until she felt private enough to strip and slide into the freezing water.

Now, staring at the sunrise, she was giddy to get back, not wanting to miss getting to wake Sasuke up again. But when she started to climb her way back up the bank, she stopped suddenly when she saw Sasuke stomping towards her, a red and purple glare meeting hers.

He stopped just above her, seething, and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" she asked suddenly wary as she yanked a kunai from her weapon's pouch, angling her head around to detect an enemy. Why else would he activate the Sharingan?

"You," he spat, before turning and stalking back in the direction he came from.

"Me?" she asked in astonishment, before hiking up the remainder of the bank to catch up to him. "What did I do?"

"Don’t just run off like that," he hissed between his teeth as he looked at her over his shoulder. All she could see was the purple of his Rinnegan.

Sakura balked at his anger but continued to follow him. Was he angry because he woke up and she wasn’t there? "Sorry," she offered when he slowed his pace a little. "Didn’t mean to upset you. I was just taking a bath."

He continued to walk ahead of her, purposefully not making eye contact with her. "We're in enemy territory now. Don't be naïve and take off on your own like that."

Sakura suddenly wanted to punch him, just to remind him who she was talking to. "Sasuke, I'm a Jonin, remember? And this isn't enemy territory anymore."

After a long sigh, Sasuke just said, "I know. Just do me a favor and let me know before you run off. It's been a long time since I've had to keep up with you."

She poked him hard in the side then, an action that had the Uchiha looking her up and down in disbelief, like he couldn’t believe she just did that. "Are you admitting to me that you were worried about me?" Sakura asked with a smirk.

He frowned and blinked at her in irritation. "No," he breathed. "I'm worried about having to tell Kakashi and Naruto you were killed by some ninja while I looked the other way." He turned and began walking away.

Sakura crossed her arms at that comment and stuck out her tongue. "Maybe, I'll be the one to tell them what happened to you."

He scoffed, loudly, and said nothing else as they made their way back towards camp.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sunset couldn’t come fast enough. They had made only two stops since this morning during their momentous traveling, and each time, Sakura announced loudly to him, "You going to be okay if I leave you for a minute? I'll scream if I need you." And, "Sasuke, just so you know, I'm okay!" Each time, she returned to his side with that innocent smile of hers and giggled, arms crossed behind her back as she leaned slightly forward.

Damn, annoying woman. As if he wasn’t already ashamed of his outburst this morning, it seemed that Sakura was going to take advantage of it every second, not just because it obviously wounded her pride, but because she was relishing in the fact that he had been worried about her.

Sasuke really did feel ridiculous. Of course, Sakura had gone off on her own to bathe or whatever else. He knew how absurd his reaction was the moment he saw her standing on the bank, hair still wet and clothes draping over shoulders and clinging to her curves. If Sasuke hadn't been so pissed off, he would have tried to duck into the trees before she noticed him. Sasuke told himself that his excuse was that he had been on his own for a long time, now. He had forgotten what it was like to wake up in the middle of the night and ignore the fact that one of your teammates had slipped off into the woods. It was normal stuff like that, that Sasuke had never made an issue about. Until this morning, that is.

When Sakura walked ahead of him, arms still tucked with fingers connected behind her, he slowly dragged his fingers down his face in annoyance with his entire situation. He decided he would let her lead for a little while.

When they finally arrived at Tanigakure, Sasuke frowned at the gravel path that slithered down the hillside toward the village built in the deepest part of the valley. The valley walls rose up jaggedly to either side of the town, a bony ribcage surrounding the heart. Now that the sun was setting quickly, the village was lit by the soft twinkling lights of the night vendors.

Sasuke didn’t necessarily care for this place. Not only did Sasuke not appreciate the fact that Tanigakure remained a neutral party during the Fourth Shinobi World War, but the history of its development was a tangled web of crime and corruption. Sasuke didn’t know much of the details, but apparently the previous leader rose to power through deception and bribery. Sasuke had even heard a rumor a few years back that he had executed many of his own citizens for speaking out against him.

Now, however, the current village head, a man name Magyaku, was the reason the village had turned itself around. Not only was the village now nicknamed "The Land of Peace" thanks to its current savior but was now a competing source of agriculture among the lands.

Sasuke supposed, that Magyaku had made the decision not to join the Allied Shinobi forces, because he wanted peace for his people. The thought still didn’t take the bad taste out of his mouth. Sasuke didn’t care if they were in a time of peace now, he would distrust and dislike them for their decision to look the other way during the war.

They entered the gates easily, and Sakura smiled kindly at the guards, announcing who they were. What he meant by that, was that Sakura mentioned that they were leaf shinobi and Sasuke relayed that they were just passing through. They received clearance immediately when Sakura mentioned the 6th Hokage, and then revealed that she was a friend of Naruto Uzumaki. It seemed his friend's popularity had even reached this small village. Neither Sasuke nor Sakura mentioned who Sasuke was. It seemed it was an unspoken realization between them that mentioning Sasuke Uchiha's name might have a negative reaction. It wounded his Uchiha pride, but Sasuke put a halt to that risky line of thinking.

Entering side by side, Sasuke and Sakura began walking quietly toward the center of town. Sasuke couldn’t help but marvel at the blue-black river that reflected the house lights that glowed on either side of it. While the houses were perched on dirt platforms, cattle grazed on the grassy river bank just below. It was really quite beautiful.

"I'm going down to the medical center, if that's alright," Sakura announced suddenly, turning to face him as soon as they entered. She flashed him a kind, apologetic smile.

"What?" Sasuke asked, stupefied at her sudden desire to run off on her own again.

She began backing away from him and Sasuke stopped and crossed his arms at her explanation. "This village is one of the world's superpowers in medicine. They have some rare herbs that grow here! I'd like to see it in practice."

And the real reason why she wanted to go through here, comes out. Sasuke supposed this was a part of her specific mission, to gather medical intelligence for the Leaf.

"Why don't you find us a place to stay for the night, and I'll meet you when I'm done," she shouted back at him over her shoulder.

Sasuke made to follow her and demand that she stay put, but stopped walking when he registered her command, looking blankly after her. What did she just say? Stay? Sasuke had told the truth back there and had meant it literally. They were passing through, not staying the night.

Sasuke cursed externally and internally. Damn annoying woman.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

It was late already when Sakura had been received by the village hospital. A kind man named Fumio, was actually the head medical ninja here and received Sakura with much enthusiasm. She talked to him for an hour just about the herbs that grew along the rivers that ran through the valley. It was a purple flower called the Grink flower, and it was mixed with a spice to help people with permanent disabilities to manage pain. Sakura was completely enthralled as she watched Fumio prepare the mixture. She took thorough notes and in exchange, gave the man some of her own creation. The pink-haired medic ninja even wrote down the ingredients and instructions for how to make and utilize the burn salve in his hospital.

Walking away with her fists full of the Grink pain prescriptions, Sakura hurried down the street to the only inn that Tanigakure had to offer. Despite it being the only one, it was large and had at least three stories. Eager to tell Sasuke about all that had happened, Sakura made her way to the front desk.

"Hello," the kind, elderly woman at the front desk called out to her as she entered. "How can I help you?" She eyed Sakura's full hands curiously.

"Actually," Sakura began, unsure of what to call Sasuke. They most certainly were not together. They had once been friends, then enemies. They were friends again now, weren't they? She could call him that. "I think that my friend--"

"Oh," the woman blushed, waving a hand at Sakura with half-grin stretching across her face as she laid her opposite palm against her cheek. "That handsome young man, with the spikey black hair? Yes, he came in a while ago. What a beautiful face, that boy has!"

Sakura couldn’t resist the twitch that tugged at her strained smile at this woman. "Yeah—um… did he happen to--"

Cut off once again, the dark haired elderly woman looked down at a sheet. "Sakura, right? Your friend said an 'annoying' pink-haired woman by that name would be arriving. That must be you, dear."

Sakura laughed awkwardly and rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. On the inside, Sakura was screaming. Who does that Uchiha think he is, describing me in that way? This was his way of repaying her for running off, she figured.

"Well ‘annoying’ might not be the exact word I would have used," Sakura replied with a nervous laugh. "Do you know which room he is in?"

"He's in the room next to yours, dear." The lady said, handing Sakura a room key.

As Sakura made her way up the third stairway, she couldn’t figure out why she was surprised that Sasuke had gotten a separate room from her. And then she was even more embarrassed for assuming they would share one. She sighed heavily into her splayed fingers. Of course, they wouldn’t. It was ridiculous for even thinking it. It wasn’t like Team 7 had ever shared one before. Kakashi had always made sure Sakura got a room to herself, while the three boys camped out together in one to save on expenses. Why would Sasuke do anything different? Foolish, annoying Sakura.

When she walked past his door, she stopped and stared at it for a minute before going on to her own. It was late, she told herself. Sasuke probably was already asleep. Sakura was suddenly feeling insecure about leaving him on his own while she went off to the hospital. She didn’t want to annoy him any more than she already had, so she closed her door tightly behind her.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sasuke jerked his head up from the map he was labeling when he heard the door down the hall open and shut. It was eleven o' clock at night, and Sakura was just going straight to bed? After he had waited up all this time, to make sure she made it back safely, she had decided to just retire without saying a word to him. Hmm, Sasuke thought to himself. He half expected her to come knocking on his door with the excuse of wishing him goodnight.

Why do you care? That condescending voice resounded from inside of him. I don’t, he replied, straightening the map out on the table with his hands. He ignored his mild irritation and continued to mark the path that they had traveled from Konoha. He charted how much ground they had left before reaching Sunagakure. It wasn’t like Sasuke needed to do this. The Uchiha knew exactly how long it would take them to get there; he had traveled there before. The fact of the matter was, Sasuke had to find something to do in order to refocus on the pressing issue of the Otsutsuki race.

Even though Sasuke's primary aim was to locate all of the dimensions, he also wanted to discover all of Kaguya's connections. Sasuke wanted to find the cracks in the space-time dimensions without having to rely on the Rinnegan. He also wanted to know the answers to these questions: Where would an enemy most likely infiltrate? Where could they all relocate in the case of an attack? Who would continue to be their allies if something so terrible as Kaguya showed up on their planet? He wanted to find out anything and everything about the Otsutsuki race that might give them even a small advantage.

After marking out the areas he had traveled to in the last 2 years, Sasuke circled specific locations that still held Sasuke's interest for various reasons. Sunagakure was first on his list because the Kazekage was the Leaf's number one ally. Konaha had had difficulties with the village in the past, especially with Orochimaru's plot to destroy the village. However, Orochimaru had manipulated the Sand shinobi by killing the Kazekage and using his body during the chunin exams, so they were just following orders. Ever since that time, Sasuke would say that Konoha and Sunagakure had worked well with one another, especially now that Gaara was the Kazekage. Sasuke was suddenly remembering the talk that Gaara had with him back during the Kage summit.

It's not too late for you. Don’t fall into a world possessed by hatred. You won’t be able to return.

So…? If I come back, what is there for me?

Sasuke, you and I are alike. We have walked through the darkness of this world. That is why we are able to see even a sliver of light. Both back then, and even now.

Even though he had been cold and told Gaara he had closed his eyes long ago, Gaara had been right. Naruto had shown him that sliver of light. He had found it and had somehow crawled through it out of the darkness. Barely. Just barely had he been able to return. Gaara had been right.

Sasuke honestly hoped he would receive a welcome from the Kazekage despite having ended on bad terms with him.

Sasuke caught himself listening closely to the sound of running water coming through the wall. She had to be showering which settled Sasuke's anxiety. It seemed she was okay, then. He didn’t understand why he was suddenly trying to come up with an excuse to walk down the hall and knock on her door. That wouldn’t be like him at all. Sasuke didn’t necessarily want to have separate rooms, simply because it was a pain to make the effort to communicate with her, but he didn’t dare tell the lady downstairs they would be sharing one. Not only was it indecent, but Sasuke knew Sakura needed space. Hell, he needed space from her. He was already having a hard time concentrating on his mission, he couldn’t imagine the distraction she'd be in the same hotel room.

And then, Sasuke heard a set of footsteps coming down the hall towards him. The knock that followed wasn’t on his door, but on Sakura's. Sasuke stood from the tiny writing desk and stalked across the room and stared down at his doorknob contemplating whether or not he should open it to see who it was. Another knock on her door had Sasuke swinging it open. When Sasuke looked one door down, his icy glare sharpened at the dark headed man who stood in front of it. Sasuke recognized the tools strapped to his hip that identified him as a ninja. The stranger was leaning back away from Sakura’s shut door to look further down the hallway to the right.

"Can I help you?" Sasuke asked icily, resting his side against the frame to communicate that he was content to stand there.

"Oh," the man said, whipping his head back around to assess Sasuke's figure. The ninja raised a hand in greeting and flashed the Uchiha a grin. "A friend of mine is expecting me. I think she locked me out."

Sasuke took a step out of his room and fingered his kunai pouch with his right fingers. "I think you have the wrong room," he responded coldly. He certainly didn’t recognize this man. He was tall, dark headed and wore a single glove on his left hand. Whoever this guy was, Sasuke would be damned if he just let him stand there knocking on Sakura's door all night. Surely, she hadn't invited a "friend" to her room in the past few hours. The Sakura he knew would never do something like that. Either this man was lost, or he was lying.

"Oh," the man said again, squinting at the faint room number on the green door. He turned back to Sasuke with an embarrassed smile. "You're right. My mistake, I'm a digit off. A friend of yours staying here?"

"That's really none of your business," Sasuke spat at him, completely disinterested in making small talk to a man who was currently a threat. "Now get lost."

The man raised his hands in apology. "Alright," the ninja said before turning and retreating the way he'd come. Sasuke's gaze followed him until he no longer heard the sound of his shoes going down the three flights of stairs. He listened closely to the old clerk's voice as she said goodbye to the man. Sasuke grit his teeth at the fact that the ninja didn’t stop at another room. Whether the man was simply stood up or had followed Sakura, he didn’t care. Whenever a shower disheveled Sakura opened the door a second later to see who was there, Sasuke immediately turned back toward his room.

"Was that you who knocked?" Sakura asked following him and looking in through the doorway, unease apparent on her face. She was fisting a white towel around clumps of her hair. "What is it? Is there something wrong?"

Sasuke grabbed the map off the table and gathered the rest of his things. Sakura gawked at him when he shoved past her and marched into her room. The Uchiha held open the door for her and said nothing when she came back in and Sasuke locked the door behind them. He tossed his things onto the floor and threw a pillow next to them. Decency and distraction be damned.

"Sasuke? What happened?" Sakura asked, reaching out worriedly and taking his fingers. He jerked them away immediately and snarled at her, his temper and shame getting the better of him. She frowned at him and Sasuke turned his face to hide his flush from her. Now was not the time to allow any physical contact between them even slightly. He took up a spot on the floor and turned his back to her.

"It’s nothing" he said without a trace of emotion in his voice. "It doesn’t make sense to waste money on two rooms. Now go to sleep."

Sasuke was embarrassed with himself for the behavior that he was continuing to display out of his concern for her. First this morning, and again, now. She was driving him mad just by being on this mission with him, and Sasuke was suddenly wondering how often things like this happened when she was on her own. He hated this whole situation and wished the uncaring Sasuke could take over for just a little bit. If that bastard would have just minded his own business, they would be sleeping peacefully in separate rooms right now. Sasuke scowled when he felt Sakura sit next to him on the floor.

She stopped drying her hair and said quietly, "I had a feeling someone was following me after I left the hospital earlier."

Sasuke sat up on his elbows, his right shoulder in alignment with hers. They were facing opposite walls. "Why didn’t you say something?" he asked incredulously. She should have told him that! He could have prepared himself more. He wouldn’t have let that man walk away. Sasuke might have even killed him. And with that thought, Sasuke understood why she didn’t say anything.

"I could have handled it," she said, raising her chin to look him in the face. Sasuke's gaze suddenly softened at her fierceness. Stubborn, infuriating woman, who was trying to leave him out of things. Sasuke couldn’t help but take her all in. The way she looked in something that wasn’t red and white, made him blink twice at the nightclothes. And that darker shade of pink her hair took on when it was wet had him quickly looking away. He chastised himself immediately. This was the beginning to his end. Even if Sakura could have taken care of that man on her own, it was worth all of this mess just to make sure that man never set eyes on her like this.

Sasuke clenched his fists. "If there's a ninja following you, it could mean that we are being watched because we are outsiders. But if he's trying to enter your room-- I just know that it's not good." Sasuke wanted to track this man down just to have the answers. Even if it was a time of peace, Sasuke shouldn’t have let that man just walk away.

Sakura smiled, which irritated Sasuke because he didn’t understand how she could be so relaxed about all this. She replied, "I planned on figuring that out if he came here. You just beat me to it."

Because taking a shower at that exact moment, especially when you think someone is following you, is a smart way to ‘figure things out.’ He contained that comment but sighed irritably in response.

"And besides," she continued, "He might have just been curious to know who I was. Or, he probably mistook me for someone else."

With that pink hair? Sasuke doubted it. And someone who was 'curious' didn’t follow you to your lodgings and knock on your door. The ninja would have approached her in the street if that were the case. It was probably more like that the man knew who they were or knew Sakura's value to Konoha-- specifically to Kakashi, the Leaf's Hokage, to Naruto, the jinchuriki of the Kyubi, or to Sasuke, the last of the Uchiha. Sasuke reminded himself how Kido had captured Sakura in an effort to lure Sasuke back to the village. Who knew what someone's intentions toward her might be, and Sasuke just didn’t want to risk finding them out.

"I'll stay here tonight, just in case he comes back," Sasuke said resolutely, laying back down and turning his back to Sakura. "It's probably better that we stay together for as long as we are in enemy territory."

"I agree," Sakura said with a teasing, smiling voice. "I wouldn’t want you to be in danger. I can protect you better if we are in the same room."

Sasuke scoffed into his pillow. Twice. He said nothing else for the rest of the night. Did nothing else but lay on the ground pretending to sleep for hours.

15 questions tagging game

Thanks to @kakashi-hockeybae for tagging me!

1. Are you named after anyone?

Well, my birth name was...from a character on L.A. Law and my current middle name is from a character in Law and Order SVU, but I think I spell it differently (Elliot), but my first name isn’t after anyone special, it’s just a K name that has Irish origins like my birth name so I went with that.

2. When was the last time you cried?

In terms of actual sad cry, it’s been a while...maybe 6 months or so? I used to cry so easily when I was emotionally sad but now I tend to just tear up a little unless it’s really bad I guess. In terms of crying because I’m touched by something (music, something I’m watching etc.) I’d say a few weeks ago...I was singing Namie Amuro’s song finally and got choked up, though I guess that’s in sadness technically, because she retired from singing at the end of last year. I tend to cry to music or watching Ayu more than to my IRL stuff lately...IDK why.

3. Do you have kids?

I am Papa cat to two beautiful cats. No human children

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

A fair amount I guess, mom says I have a dry sense of humor.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

depends on the person, but probably how they talk or their body language I guess.

6. What’s your eye color?

Hazel? I thought they were green but maybe they’re hazel since they tend to change color based on what I’m wearing...I never notice any brown in them though?

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

not a horror movie fan, I can like certain types of suspense or drama though, and I like Anime horror for whatever reason. Happy endings? If they’re done in a satisfying way and not just for the sake of needing a happy ending out of some obligation...if that makes sense.

8. Any special talents?

uhhhh, I guess singing karaoke and drawing, making characters but never writing out the stories they’re going to be in, my determination I guess.... I also used to be able to put my feet over my head when laying down...not sure that I can do it anymore.

9. Where were you born?

In Baltimore, Maryland but I grew up in a smaller town in Maryland and have pretty much grown up and lived in the same area most of my life.

10. What are your hobbies?

playing video games, watching anime, singing, blogging on the internet, watching videos, hanging out with friends, studying languages, drawing, thinking way too hard about fictional characters and crying internally over them.

11. Do you have any pets?

Max and Ayu, my cat children.

12. What sports do you play/have you played?

None, I seemed to do best at basketball and soccer when forced to play them in school but that doesn’t mean I was good...just that I sucked less at those things than the other sports. I’m also not very competitive so I tend to hate sports or at least hanging out with sports fans for that reason.

13. How tall are you?

5′3′’

14. Favorite subject in school?

Drama and foreign language classes.

15. Dream job?

An interpreter, but that’s my more practical dream job, my less-so dream job is as a voice actor but I need to seek training and get over my terrible self-esteem before I can pursue that one.

Beginnings

Chapter 11 – Home

Summary: Sasuke and Sakura finally return to the village after traveling for over a year, much to everyone’s excitement. The two even brought a special surprise for their friends and family.

Rating: G

Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto.

Chapter one HERE | Previous Chapter HERE | AO3 | Part of Origins series

A/N: I wanna cry because I only have like 3 chapters left for this fic! I never imagined myself actually getting so invested with this. Thank you all SO much for your support so far! Also, if the format of this gets messed up here on tumblr (like I think it might’ve for the last chapters, please read on AO3!)

Two days later, and it was time to head home.

Sasuke and Sakura stood outside of the the hide-away, while Karin was inside. “Are you sure you don’t want to stay a few more days? You shouldn’t stress your body so closer after giving birth.” Her red eyes held an expression of worry, eyebrows knit together.

Sakura shook her head as she adjusted Sarada to a more comfortable position. In the end, she decided the cloth sling was better since it was warm, “I don’t want to stay longer than we should. It’s not fair to ask you to act as a nurse when you’re already so busy.”

Suddenly, the words Karin spat at Sasuke the other day rippled through her mind. She set her gaze down to the ground in guilt. She only looked up when Sakura grabbed her hand.

“Besides, it’s because of your care that I have my strength back so quick.” Sakura’s genuine smile caused one to form on her own lips, “Thank you, so much.” Karin responded by gently squeezing her friend’s hand back.

With that the family of three left.

Honestly, it was an amusing sight. Sakura held Sarada, while Sasuke somehow managed to balance three bags (their travel bags and baby bag).

After their first break, Sarada needed to be fed, the two decided they should go ahead and send a messenger hawk back to the village. It was only eleven in the morning, but they figured it’d be a 6 hour walk with fitting in stops.

Back in Konoha: Naruto and Sai were going over the briefings of their last mission with Kakashi, when there was a knock at the door. Upon being ushered in, the top ninja in charge of the messenger hawks approached him.

“Sir, we received a message from Uchiha Sasuke.” After handing Kakashi the message, he dismissed himself.

“Oh,” Kakashi smiled through his mask, “Looks like Sasuke and Sakura are planning to be back in the village by five tonight.”

“Really!? That’s great news!” Naruto’s eyes practically lit up, “We should all meet them by the front gate! Like a welcoming party, y’know? Oh! I’ll definitely bring Hinata by too!”

Sai flashed his infamous smile, “I’ll invite Ino. It’s obvious she misses Sakura.”

“That sounds like a good idea,” The Hokage tilted his head to the side, thinking that this would be an excuse to leave the office. Plus, he wanted to confirm his suspicions, “But let’s just leave the invitations there. Any more would just annoy Sasuke.”

Naruto chuckled sheepishly. He was caught red handed, already plotting to invite all of their friends and former classmates.

~ At 5pm, the five of them (Kakashi, Naruto, Hinata, Sai, and Ino) were patiently waiting by the gates.

At 5:15, patience started developing into worry.

By 5:45, Naruto and Ino were practically panicking.

At 6, even Hinata and Sai were beginning to grow concerned.

Luckily, Kakashi was there to keep them in line, reassuring them that the trip might’ve been longer than they thought.

Not much longer after that, relief washed over all five of them (Kakashi, admittedly was going to start a search team if they had to wait any longer) when they saw two figures approaching from afar. Sakura’s bright, pink hair made it obvious that it was them.

Naruto and Ino, perfectly in character, waved eagerly the moment their figures became more prominent. If they were dogs, their tails would surely be wagging.

“Wait… what is Sakura-chan carrying?” Naruto squinted his eyes, “Looks like a wrapped sack of potatoes.”

“It almost looks like…” Ino gasped in realization. She slowly lowered her hand in shock, “No fucking way…” Hinata simply glanced at her friend with her own stunned expression.

Finally, the two were at the gate.

“Hey, everyone.” Sakura was obviously tired, but seeing her friends granted her just enough energy, “Long time no see.”

“Yeah! You too!” Naruto approached the two with his hands behind his head, “Why’d you bring a bunch of veggies though?” He brought his hand down to pull back some of the fabric, Sakura giving him a questioning look. Veggies?

“T-That’s not a vegetable! Or food in general!” Naruto’s eyes practically went white as he jumped back.

“It’s a baby.” Sai’s observation only annoyed Naruto more.

“Yes, but who’s?!” He was flabbergasted, to say the least, “And why is Sakura-chan holding it!? Was it abandoned?! Are you saving it!? How di-”

“Shut up, I just got her to sleep.” In a swift motion, Sakura knocked Naruto on the head, “She’s not an abandoned baby, but…” She glanced up at Sasuke with a soft blush, “S-She’s our child…”

Everything went quiet, before Naruto spoke up again.

“Is this a bad joke?” His eyes narrowed, “April Fool’s Day was yesterday, y’know?”

“Why would I lie about something like that?” She snapped her head towards the blonde. Naruto glanced up at Sasuke, waiting for him to tell Sakura to stop teasing him.

“It’s true.” He blinked, face expressionless.

So he’s in on it too? Naruto looked back at Kakashi, who wasn’t shocked what-so-ever.

“Ah, I honestly was expecting it when I got the marriage license six months ago. Congratulations, by the way.”

“YOU’RE MARRIED?!” Ino yelled before she could stop herself. The air went stiff as everyone heard the small child shuffle in the sling. Luckily, she didn’t start crying.

Sakura smiled sheepishly, “It only felt natural after we found out I was pregnant.”

Ino swiftly walked over to her best friend. Sakura was anticipating being yelled at. Instead, Ino grabbed her hand and started giggling. “I’m so glad it all worked out for you two! I’ve been rooting for you!” She gently hugged Sakura, careful of her baby.

“Oh, let me see her!” Ino peaked into the fabric. She was greeted by two almond, black eyes and tuft of black hair staring up at her. The child’s face held no true expression, “Yep, she’s Sasuke-kun’s daughter alright. But she’s also so tiny! How old is she? What’s her name?”

“She’s barely two days old.” Sakura chuckled with relief, “And Sasuke came up with the name Sarada.”

Ino gently touched the small child’s cheek before glaring back up at Sakura, “Don’t think you’re off the hook though! I still demand all the details of your trip later!”

“Yeah, yeah.” Emerald eyes closed with a smile.

“So, have you two eaten dinner yet?” Kakashi motioned towards the village, “All of us could catch up over a warm meal, if you’d like.”

Sakura glanced at her husband before nodding, “Sure. I wouldn’t mind that.”

Without waiting much longer, the group headed towards the central eating district of the village. Eventually, they settled for a decent sit-down restaurant with a wide variety of traditional Japanese foods (even though Naruto suggested Ichiraku).

After ordering their food, Ino began asking more questions.

“Do your parents know?”

“They don’t know yet…” She sighed, a little disappointed in herself, “I know they’ll be upset we didn’t tell them right away.”

“So, then who all does know about this?”

“Now? Just you guys.” Sakura mindlessly ran her fingers over Sarada’s legs through the carrier, “Plus Karin, since she helped with the delivery.”

“What? You didn’t have her in a hospital?”

“No. Sarada wasn’t actually due for a few more weeks, but I guess she had other plans.” She gently chuckled, “I went into labor on the original day Sasuke-kun and I were supposed to come home. We really wanted to have her here.”

“I see…” Ino leaned back in her seat, rubbing her own stomach as if she was showing already, “How do you think your parents will handle this? Where will you stay.”

“I’m not certain, but I imagine they’ll be in shock at first, and it’ll probably come off angry when they ask questions. Though, they’d never reject us, so I’m not too worried. They’ll most likely let us stay with them until we can find a place of our own. I want to start house hunting as soon as possible so we aren’t a burden.” She smiled up at Sasuke, “Plus, it’ll be nice to have our own home to raise her in right away.” He nodded in affirmation.

A few moments of silence passed before Sai spoke up.

“Sasuke-kun, your birthday is in July, right?”

He nodded again, a little perplexed at the random question, “Yeah.”

“And Sarada-chan’s due date was in April?”

This time Sakura answered, “Y-Yeah? And?”

“So, this was a birthday conception, right?” He tilted his head with an innocent smile, as if he had just asked what time it was.

Sasuke simply closed his eyes in frustration, while Sakura shot death glares at her former teammate. Normally, Ino would’ve scolded her husband for asking such a question, but couldn’t get the words out past her laughter. Hinata chuckled due to the awkward atmosphere.

Naruto started counting the months on his fingers, “What the hell, teme! You pervert! In my letter, I suggested you hold her hand, not her… her-!”

“Naruto, shut it!” Sakura’s face turned a deep shade of red, embarrassed that the attention turned towards their private life.

Oh, goodness. Kakashi couldn’t help but to smile and rest his head in his palm, finding the situation amusing.

Luckily, the food arrived in that moment, so the subject quickly dispersed as everyone ate. Soft cries eventually interrupted their quiet meal about hallway through.

“She’s probably hungry.” Sasuke softly muttered, reaching into the baby bag without any second thought.

Sakura gently bounced Sarada, “Ah, yeah. You did just change her diaper before we got here.”

In the next few moments, Sasuke handed her the cover up so Sakura could breastfeed their baby without having to leave the table. The Uchiha steadied Sarada while Sakura tied the soft blanked around her neck.

“Thanks, Anata. I’ve got her now.” Sasuke carefully exchanged his arm for hers. After Sakura was sure that Sarada latched, they went back to eating. Neither of them knew, but everyone at the table were mesmerized. Kakashi couldn’t help but to feel a bit of pride at their teamwork.

“Wait, teme changed her diaper? How’d he do that with one arm?” Naruto narrowed his eyes, suspicious.

“I use Susano’o.” The answer was obvious to him.

“Eh? That’s a little scary for an infant, y’know?”

Sakura chuckled, “She’s too young to know the difference for things like that. Besides, having her get used to it now will mean she won’t be afraid of it later. Like when I start working at the hospital again... if Sasuke-kun is alone with her, she won’t be shocked.”

“Ooooooh.” He nodded, understanding. “Still scary. Especially with the teme’s brooding personality.”

Sasuke rolled his eyes with a sigh, “Shut up, dobe.”

After eating, when asked about the bill, Kakashi answered that it was all separate, except for Sasuke and Sakura’s meal.

“E-Eh? Kakashi sensei?” Sakura shook her hand in front of her face, “You really don’t have to do that.”

“Don’t worry about it, you two.” He smiled, “Consider it a late wedding gift. And congratulations for Sarada.”

“Huh?! You’re not going to treat all of us?” Naruto frowned.

“You don’t have a new baby to support, and you don’t have to save for a new house anytime soon.”

“Hmph…” He crossed his arms with a pout.

After paying (the Uzumaki’s and Yamanaka’s paying for themselves), everyone headed to their respective homes.

Since Sakura’s parents lived down the same way from Naruto and Hinata’s new place, they went together.

“Man, I can’t believe Kakashi-sensei is such a cheapskate…” At this point, Naruto was just complaining to complain.

“The food wasn’t even that expensive, Anata.” Hinata chuckled, holding her hands behind her back, “Anyways, are you two glad to be back in Konoha?”

The Uchiha quirked her lips into a smile, “Yeah. It wouldn’t be easy raising a child on the road like that. Plus, it’s interesting to see what all has changed in just a year.” Sakura cracked her neck, a little tired from holding Sarada all day while walking.

“Do you want me to hold her?” Sasuke stopped walking, glancing at his wife.

“You’re already carrying so much, though.”

“…I don’t mind.” Luckily, it was dark, so only Sakura could tell that he was blushing. She couldn’t help but to giggle.

“If you want to hold her, you can just ask.” She carefully removed the sling, gently handing their daughter to Sasuke, “She’s your daughter too, y’know.”

“Hn.” His right arm cradled Sarada, holding her somewhat close to his chest. It was faint, but he smiled too.

“You two are so cute together.” Hinata chimed in, much to Naruto’s amusement.

“Yeah, it’s kinda weird seeing so many different sides to you, teme.” Naruto shifted his weight onto one foot, “Your typical broody mood, gentle father, affectionate husband… what else…” He counted on his fingers, “Oh! And hearing about your perverted side….” The blond smiled, ignoring the mutual glares from Sasuke and Sakura.

“But, really.” His tone changed ever so slightly, “I’m really glad to see that you two are happy together. I know you’ll be amazing parents, especially since you care about each other so much, y’know? And I promise to be the best Uncle ever to Sarada!” Naruto flashed a thumbs up to the two.

“We’ll hold you to that.” Sasuke chuckled.

After walking a little further down the road, the two couples eventually split to their respective paths. Upon arriving at her parents’ door, Sakura took a deep breath.

“Well, here we go. You ready, Sasuke-kun?”

He nodded, hiding his apprehension. Though, Sakura could see it in his eyes. Gulping a bit, she rang the doorbell.

The two heard a set of light footsteps, followed by slightly heavier ones. Slowly, the door opened.

“Hello?” A feminine voice peeked out before fully opening the door, “Oh! Sakura-chan! You’re home!” Mebuki took a step out to hug her daughter, before suddenly stopping.

She wasn’t alone. In fact, she had two guests with her.

“Eh? Sakura’s home!? Dear, what’s wrong?” Kizashi also approached them, before stopping himself. Unlike with their blond friend, Kizashi and Mebuki knew exactly was swaddled inside the cloth.

They all stood there in silence for a moment, before some of Mebuki’s senses kicked in.

“C-Come in…” She stood to the side so the family in front of her could enter, “It’s starting to get cold.”

After entering the home, they all sat seiza style on the tatami. Sakura held Sarada without the sling, so it was easier for her parents to see their new grandchild. However, Kizashi avoided eye contact.

“Okay…” Mebuki sighed, “How exactly did all of this happen? You said you were going to just travel for a bit, not start a family…”

Sakura blushed, “W-Well, that’s how it started. Sasuke-kun and I got close, and-“

“I don’t want to hear those details.” Kizashi snapped his head towards Sakura. The idea that his daughter lost her virginity before marriage, to a man he had mostly heard bad rumors about. Yes, he was reconciling by protecting the village from threats he probably couldn’t even fathom, the young Uchiha still seemed like a threat to his daughter. “You’re a renouned medical ninja… If you are going to do such impure things, don’t you know that birth control exists for a reason? You’re way too young to be a parent!”

Sakura narrowed her eyes, obviously hurt by her father’s words, “I’m not stupid, Dad! It failed, okay?!”

“Sakura, dear, don’t yell…” Her mom tried to reason, “You’ll upset the baby…”

Kizashi ignored his wife, “It wouldn’t have failed if you didn’t throw yourself out there to begin with! He wrongfully seduced you!”

Sakura gasped, “Dad! I will not let you talk about my husband that way!”

“Husband!?” Kizashi raised his voice even more, “You fucking eloped?! Sakura, tha-“ The fight was interrupted when Sasuke suddenly bowed his head to the floor on his hands.

“Mr. Haruno, I assure you that I only have Sakura’s best interests in mind. Since we were children, she cared about me. When my mind began to get clouded, she tried to bring me back. When I left the village, she was the first one to try and stop me. Even after I tried to kill her, she still saved my life. Your daughter saved me from the darkness and made me realize where I was horribly wrong. I regret everything I’ve done in my past, though I try to make up for it. I could protect the village and this family for the rest of my life, but it still wouldn’t be enough to repay Sakura for everything she’s done for me. Not only did she save my life, but she brought a new one into my world. I am forever grateful for her. I love your daughter with all my life, and I love our daughter with every ounce of soul left in me. I promise I will never hurt them, and do everything in my power to make sure they are safe, happy, cared for, and loved. Just as I hope someone would want to treat Sarada.”

Kizashi (caught off guard by Sasuke essentially reading his mind) and Mebuki were shocked into silence, while tears fell from Sakura’s emerald eyes.

“S-Sasuke-kun…” Her voice was barely a whisper.

“Lift your head, Sasuke.” Kizashi sighed, calmed down. Sasuke did as he was told, the softest tinge of pink on his cheeks and a slight red circle on his forehead from bowing, “I’ll hold you to those words. But if you hurt them in any way, I’ll make sure the Hokage has your head.”

Sasuke nodded, not intending for that to happen anyways.

“Besides…” Kizashi reached his arms out, motioning for Sakura to let him hold the infant, “She’s an absolute ANGEL and I love her already.” His serious face quickly turned into an ear-to-ear smile. “You said her name was Sarada?”

Sakura had an anxious smile, “Y-Yeah. She’s only two days old. We wanted to be home before she was born, but I ended up going into labor a few weeks early.”

“Oh my goodness!” Mebuki gently poked her nose, “Someone must’ve been in a rush to meet her Grandpa! And her nose looks just like Mebuki’s! So cute!”

The rest of the night went well, talking about how Sasuke and Sakura planned on buying a home as soon as possible so they could raise Sarada. Of course, after their previous discussions, the Haruno’s welcomed with open arms, stating they could go shopping the next day to get supplies for Sarada to stay both at their place, and the home-to-be-bought. Especially since Mebuki made them promise that she could babysit every once in a while.

After talking more (on better terms), the small Uchiha family migrated to Sakura’s old room. It had a double bed, which Sasuke and Sakura shared. Sarada was safely settled on a futon near the wall.

“I’m really glad that my dad came around.” Sakura let out a sigh of relief, resting her hand over her husband’s chest.

“Yeah.” His eyes were closed, head towards the ceiling. Sasuke could feel the tension of the day finally melting out of his muscles.

“Hey, Anata,” She was a little shy, “What you said back there… did you mean it?”

Sasuke rolled over and slowly opened his eyes with a sincere glint, “I wouldn’t lie about that. Anyways, you know it’s true.”

“I’ve just never heard you say it like that.” She smiled as she ran her fingers through dark hair, exposing mismatched eyes, “I know you meant it for my dad, but it was nice to hear you say it... Sasuke-kun, thank you.”

He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, “I should be saying that to you.”

After a comfortable silence, Sakura found herself not quite ready to fall asleep, “So, who do you think Sarada looks more like?”

“She’s barely two days old,” Sasuke chuckled, “She has my hair and eye color, though, I think her face resembles more of you.”

“So a perfect combination?”

“Hn.” He wrapped his arm around her waist, “Only if she ends up with your personality.”

“But we won’t know that for a few more months, will we?” She rubbed her nose against his. Sasuke thought that was strange, but endearing, “I’m so happy we’re a family. I love you, Sasuke-kun.”

Sasuke responded by kissing the tip of her nose, followed by her lips, before the two decided to fall asleep… at least, for a few hours before Sarada woke up.

August Events!

Hey there, shinobi!

We will have six (6) Events for the month of August! One will be spanning the entire month, and then five separate week-long events within that timeframe.

The timeline will look like this!

Timeline

The whole month of August: Event: Summer Fun (August 1-31) Week 1: Event: Obito Week 2018 (July 29-August 4) Week 2: Event: Founders Week 2018 (August 5-August 11) Week 3: Event: Missing Nin X Konoha Week 2018 (August 12-18) Week 4: Event: Time Travel Week 2018 (August 19-25) Week 5: Event: Focus on Naruto’s Generation (August 26-Sept 1) (And then we will launch directly into Event: Sapphic September, TBA)

I don’t care if you start writing before the ‘Week’ in question starts, but do not submit early. I.e. you can start writing Time Travel fills now, but don’t!!! Submit them to me!! Before the 19th of August!!!!

Month of August: Summer Fun Event

August 1- August 31

The Event: Summer Fun will be going in the background while we have the week-long events. You’ll be able to submit Mission fills for this Event for the whole month, regardless of what week it is, and be rewarded by unlocking the achievement Achievement: Invincible Summer.

Week 1: Obito Week 2018

July 29-August 4th

For this Event, we are going to accept gen fics. No rarepair needed! It just needs to be Obito-centric. The Mission Ranks guidelines will still determine what Rank your fill will be.

From July 29-August 4th you can write Obito-centric fics/make fanart of the Bad Life Choices Boy. Fics will get the +1 Event Bonus. Pretty simple.

Achievement Unlocked: Trash Baby Babysitter

Week 2: Founders Week 2018

August 5th-August 11th

For this Event the rules are pretty simple. It is a shipping week but I’ll take genfics. (as always, non-rarepair ships will get the -1 Penalty, which the Event Bonus cancels out).

One half of the pairing has to be one of the founders for the Villages, or the fic as a whole has to be set in that Era. Preferably before the founding of the village, or at the very beginning of it. Alternately, if it’s character specific, any time works. (I.e. Tobirama thrown into the future, would technically qualify.)

Achievement Unlocked: Dinosaur Wrangler

Week 3: Missing Nin X Konoha Week 2018

August 12-August 18th

One half of the pairing has to be a missing nin; the other half has to be a Konoha shinobi. You could take a page out of @blackkatmagic’s book with Kisame/Genma, Kakashi/Zabuza, Hidan/Asuma, etc. Or you could make your own! Note that Missing nin X Missing nin will be it’s own Event probably in October, but for these purposes you could make the second half of the OTP/ot3? a missing nin, as long as they’re from Konoha. Doing so technically violates the spirit of the event but, eh, KakaObi and KisaObi are too much fun. Also, Konoha breeds crazy.

Rarepair rules apply.

Achievement Unlocked: Drive Sarutobi to Drink

Week 4: Time Travel Week 2018

August 19-August 25th

Use the trope: Time Travel. This is a rarepair thing or a genfic. If you use a a non-rarepair ship, it cancels out the Event Bonus. That’s actually the only rule. Late fics don’t get the Event Bonus, so try not to pull some Backslide/Reverse nonsense. Although if we inspire that, fuck yeah.

Achievement Unlocked: Loop de Loop

Week 5: Focus on Naruto’s Generation

August 26-September 1

Write some rarepair with a ship from Naruto’s generation. They’ve got to be within 3 years of the sunshine son. It doesn’t actually have to include the Boy, just focus on someone Suigetsu/Chojuro/Haku/Gaara/Konoha 11′s age group. (You can age them up, I don’t care, just: the canon generation.)

Achievement Unlocked: Fighting Dreamers

A reminder about Mission Ranks

Ranks

A rank: 15 to 25k words. B rank: 10 to 15k words. C rank: 5 to 10k words. D rank: 3 to 5k words. E rank: 1 to 3k words

Event-Only Ranks

These ranks are not subject to the +1 Event Bonus

SS rank: 50K words or more. S rank: 25 to 50k words. A+ rank: An Event A-rank (15 to 25k words)

Rarepair Ranks

S+ rank: No fics on ao3. S rank: 1 fic on ao3. A+ rank: Less than 5 fics on ao3. A rank: Less than 10 B+ rank: Less than 50 B rank: Less than 75 C+ rank: Less than 100. C rank: Less than 150 D+ rank: Less than 175 D rank: Less than 200

For more questions our ASKBOX is always open!

Lust -Day 25

Dance- Part II

Rated M

Tbh tomorrow i leave with my family to go to the seaside and i won’t be taking my laptop with me but i’ll still try to upload stories for the SH month. I have done every one till today and it would feel like a failure to give up now.

Her hands were in his, they were a little sweaty, her breath was heavy, it took every ounce of will power not to allow herself to lean back onto him and allow him to swallow her very existence. They had been rehearsing for 6 hours nonstop and she finally reached a break point. Her boxers were sweaty too and they were almost glued to her butt, she wanted to rearrange them but his pelvis was pressed against her ass. They weren’t dancing anymore just swaying like they did the first day since they became a team.

He sighed into her ear almost making her moan. In a moment of weakness, she pressed her back to his chest and leaned her head on his shoulder. He took advantage of that and wrapped his arms around her and kept her into a tight hug and turned his head towards her pressing his lips to her temple.

“You tired?” he whispered into her wet hair.

Hinata licked her lips and she swore she felt him shiver before murmuring a ‘yea’. She couldn’t understand how he had so much energy. For the past 12 years of her life she was in the studio for almost 5 hours a day with 30 minutes pause every 2 hours. But he exhausted her while he still could probably dance for at least another 2 hours.

He made a sudden change in the rhythm which ended up with her butt thrusting into his pelvis which lead to her groaning and him chuckling. Her hands hung lifeless by her side before that happened but she moved them over his, leaning further into him forcing Sasuke to bend his knees a little more.

Her heart was beating faster than it should and her whole body was on fire. After a few more moments of swinging Hinata detached herself, she felt oddly cold and alone and he seemed to protest the move too, she hadn’t noticed he closed his eyes during their small dance.

“Wanna grab something to eat before heading home?”

Sasuke found out they lived only a few streets away so he would drive by her apartment every day before going to the studio so they’d only use one car. They were partners for almost 2 weeks now and the sexual tension just kept on building, he had never been so frustrated in his life. Every day when he went home he’d take a cold shower not only to wash the sweat away and coll himself but to…fix other problems too.

After eating out he drove her home, but unlike usually she didn’t flee the car before he was even parked. She stood still and shifted in her seat before sneaking a glance at him, but he was already staring at her so he noticed that.

“So um…it’s Friday.”

“Yea it is” he answered simple and narrowed his eyes at her.

“Any…plans?”

“Nop.”

“Oh…” Hinata sighed and bit her lip, she seemed to want to say more. Right before he was going to tell her to spill it she started talking again “So you want to come in? maybe watch a movie?”

His eyes went wider even so slightly but he nodded. He parked the car around the block according to her directions and this time he got off with her, he walked up the stairs with her and made his way into her apartment with her.

She brought a few bottles of cold water and even a few beers and they started watching a movie. About 10 minutes in she opened a beer and asked if he wanted one, but he said he was with the car.

“You live about 10 minutes away, you can walk back”

She was right so he took the beer than another and another. He drank 3 while Hinata only 1 she was a lightweight and didn’t want to overdo it since the next day they had rehearsal again. They didn’t pay much attention to the movie, they talked more than watch so after about 15 more minutes Hinata switched channels to a music one and Sasuke invited her to dance. She laughed a little but took his hand anyway. Their chests were glued together, he was looking down at her and she up at him. He spun her around and pulled her back to him, they were holding hands like professional dancers do during slow songs, but he let go and circled his arms around her waist pulling her closer and she put her arms around his neck.

She was humming with the song, he noticed she did that a lot and he actually enjoyed the sound of it. He moved his hands up and down her back and she smiled nicely at him. Another spin and they were close once more.

Kakashi and Kurenai watched a few of their rehearsals and they both agreed the two of them made a really good pair, not only did they work together well but they also looked good together. When Kakashi said that to them Sasuke gave her a teasing look and she blushed.

“I really enjoy dancing with you”

She said. And it was true, before she had forgotten how fun and passionate dancing could be. She didn’t mean to be rude but a part of her wanted him to be her partner, not just for a few more weeks until Shino was back.

“I do too”

Sasuke answered right before spinning her around. Their dancing wasn’t much at that moment just a few spins and swings still if you’d watch from the outside it would still fascinate you because they just made it seem so complex.

They were both ogling each other, they had been since the beginning but neither wanted to make the first move, too scared to ruin the balance they somehow reached, but wishing the other would take a step forward.

They weren’t talking but the way they were looking at each other was a conversation on its own. ‘Won’t you move closer?’ ‘Do something’ ‘Please, I want you to take a step towards me’

Sasuke took in a sharp breath. “Fuck this” he leaned closer to her and kissed her finally. Her response was instantaneous. They walked back to her sofa and he fell behind and she crawled over him. He squeezed her butt and she moaned into the kiss which made him smile, she bit his lower lip as a revenge but that only made him kiss her harder.

A few minutes later they were looking at each other with so much lust that the chances one of them would jump the other were guaranteed. Sasuke moved his hand to cup her cheek but was too slow because she pulled her shirt over her head and started kissing his neck.

He tried hard not to groan but failed “Oh god.” Hinata’s hands were under his shirt as well pulling it up and over his head. Sasuke remembered their one-night-stand and the thought of her riding him made his eye twitch. He whispered her name and she got up in a rush pulling him with her and finding her way to her room.

She practically threw him on the bed, he watched as she took off her pants and then her underwear. She was standing naked in front of him. He let his head fall back onto the pillow as she moved over and pulled both his pants and boxers off.

Her muscles still ached from rehearsal, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered was that she finally had him under her again, since she slept with him her nights were filled with dreams of him, thinking of the way he touched her and how he felt inside of her, and finally she could experience the real thing again.

“God, this took us so long to get back here” she said.

Sasuke flipped them over and caressed her tights before spreading her legs and leaning to get a condom out of his pants. “You have no idea.”

They both smirked at each other. As he was thrusting into her and she was pulling at his hair Hinata whispered: “This will surely be part of our daily routine from now on.”

He chuckled and nodded while kissing her neck.
