Sasusaku- Konoha High School of Arts

Chapter 26

Sakura pov:

Pulling myself up, I prayed over their graves and turned to walk towards my car. As i drove back to the Uchiha Residence, i passed by my parents home.

I began to slow down and with my bottom lip between my teeth, i pulled up right at the curb.

Its been 2 weeks since we found out about his death and buried my brother. I was kicked out of the funeral because of  my parents. I knew the terms weren't great but i felt i should still tell them. They are my parents after all. They might completely shut me out though, which im prepared for completely.

Walking up to the door im jumbled with my keys, then I thought I shouldn't use them, for i felt like a visitor in my own home. So i knocked. I knocked and footsteps were heard as the door opened revealing my parents. Bags evident under my mother's eyes as alcohol stained my father's lips and the smell lingered in his beard. These weren't my same bright parents. At the same time I'm not the same sakura and I'll never be the same.

"Mom... Dad" i said lowly as they looked at me.

"Come in" they said as i walked past them towards the living room.

I sat at the love seat parallel to the one they sat at together, as the room filled with a tense silence, i was the one to break it.

"I'm sorry.... If i hadn't taken his threat so lightly i would have dropped out the competition, the words he spoke were vague, i had no idea he'd take a life, I apologize if you feel it was my fault, and im sorry."

I saw my mother sigh as my father's features softened.

"We're sorry, when you told us it just seemed like we needed someone to blame, we know it's not your fault, the person to blame are those two boys and the man that hired them. We're the ones who are truly sorry, we let our own child leave our home to live with another family when you were/ are grieving just like us you're welcome to come home sweetheart " my father said.

I looked down at my lap as droplets fell on my thighs. I didn't even realize i was crying again.

"Thank you" i said between cries "but i have something else to say, that might change your mind again" i said.

I looked up teary eyed at my parents who had confused looks on their face.

"I'm pregnant" i said as i let a loud sob out. I looked up at them waiting for their yells and screams " i know... I'm only a junior in highschool and I screwed up okay! Im sorry if I'm only adding to your troubles im sorry you if you see me as a burden im sorry" i cried, still waiting to hear their yells, only to find them softly smiling at me.

"Sakura it's okay dear, we understand" my mother said softly.

"You're not a burden sweetheart, you're a blessing and we're glad to have you"

"B-but.." i said trailing off "don't you worry, i got pregnant with sasori at 16 myself, i was 16 and pregnant so was your grandmother when she had me, it's something that just happens to us I guess. I assume that uchiha lad is the father" my mother said as i nodded shyly.

"Well, I understand, does his family know?"

"I've only confided in Mrs. Mikoto, but she doesn't know of the results, i have to head back to her" i said standing up.

"Listen we understand if you don't want to come back right now, but you're welcomed home and you have our full support, we'll get through your brother's death together and also help you as well" my mother said.

They got up and hugged me and more tears flowed. I pulled away smiling at them.

"I wish sasori could be here" i said in a whisper as i grabbed my keys and walked out the door to my car.
