"I know I've always asked this but Sasuke,its your brothers birthday tomorrow.Atleast come home for me?"His mother's voice breaks through the line.Her pleading voice rang to his ears as he sighed.
"Mother,you know I can't"he said.Tightening the bandage on his arms,Sasuke clutches his phone between his shoulders and head.
"You can't or you won't"Mikoto sternly said.Knowing her son's behaviour the most.
Once Sasuke finished tying the bandage,he stood up.Stretching his abdomen.His upper body bare from sweat,he walks to his balcony.
"Sasuke,you know I missed you.And your brother wanted to see you too.You know we both still love you right?"
Sasuke closed his eyes and his other hand fished out something from his pocket."The only love I know is yours mother.And I dont have a brother"
Biting the bottom of the cigarette,Sasuke lit it up with his lighter,he can almost hear his mothers exasperated groan and fuming head.
"Watch your mouth young man,I gave birth with you two.I raised you both.Just because you can't forgive your brother for what he did doesnt mean he's not your brother anymore"
"I raised you better than that,Sasuke"
Puffing out the nicotine smoke,Sasuke gazed at the lighted up city under his penthouse.Slowly his nerves started loosening as he inhales another smoke before exhaling it.
"I know mother,but I can't.I'll just send a gift for you and a regard but dont expect me to set foot on that house"
"But—"
"I love you mother,I had to get going now,Goodbye"Hanging up without hearing his mothers goodbye,Sasuke pocketed his phone and massages his head.
He had many things to do than mingling his brothers birthday.He had enough shit to take care of and attending that bullshit Uchiha party and having a chance to see that devil is the last thing he'd do.
He knew it wasnt his brother's entire fault but him siding to their father than his own brother in need in a depth circumstances was enough to lose all Sasuke's respect for Itachi.He had completely betrayed his trust and there's a micro chance he'd ever accept him again.
Besides,Madara reigned him as his next successor.With him on the chair,Sasuke will have the biggest responsibility set upon him.And he can't wait for the chances to set full control of it.
Slowly and slowly,he is close on getting what he wanted.Power.All the shit he'd been through he wont take the chances to lose it.He was treated like garbage by that rodent of a man that he cant even call a father because he wasnt one to begin with.
And partly because he'd have something to support him and redeem her.Redeem the dreams of being with her,to redo everything together.Now that he isnt like that once scrugly helpless weak boy from the past who suffered under the hands of his fathers manipulation.
He will get revenge before finding her.He has all the connections to do so but it isnt the right time to do so.Its a vulnerable time since he was still new of being the Yakuza leader.
Once you sit on the throne as a new reign,many organization would test on him if he was indeed a great selection to be next on Madara's foot.They will eventually made their move to harm and scare him but tough luck,they're walking on a lions den.
Everyone underestimated him since Madara bought him to this organization.When he was renowned as Madara's protegè and Orochimaru's golden student.Everybody saw the biased attention just because Sasuke was an Uchiha and that it was an unfair nepotism at some point.
But that doesnt stop him from making Madara surprised at his potential.Knowing that Sasuke is just like him who was an outcast.Who had a hatred growing on their heart.Madara reflected himself to Sasuke.
But through years of enduring everything from the past.Sasuke's mind was always on her.She was always on his dreams and of what could've been if they never had that problem.
But who knows,Madara knew he still had a softspot regarding to Sakura and he wanted to cut that connection off.Said that weaknesses should not be shown.And Madara forbids him to contact or engage at Sakuras whereabouts.
He knew it was for the best but that didnt stop his thoughts regarding her.She had left him so suddenly,he didn't even know what to feel,but he was devastated.To think that theres a chance that she would have raise their child if she did go on her plan to not abort it.
And thinking back at it,Sasuke wouldn't even be surprised if she did give birth by now,years had passed theres a chances that their child will live.
Which narrowed down the chances of him contacting her.He didnt know if she did infact was able to give birth or if she aborted it but the only thing that concerns him the most is his enemies finding about her.
His mother was enough for him to worry when everyone knew,Mikoto was Sasuke's weakness without knowing there's also another woman in his life that he cherises but thanfully,with the severe guarded security of her being the Uchiha Matriarch and Fugaku's wife,Mikoto was safe.
"Sakura"he whispers.The name falling out from his mouth without him knowing.Frowning at his thoughts.17 yr old Yakuza leader exhales loudly from the tension.
"Where are you now,Sakura?"looking up at the dark sky.He lets himself lower his guard down at the moment.
This was the rare moments Sasuke had a time to reflect his thoughts,from the business of his work,the dangerous lurking counter enemies that would take out his life that he needed to have his guard up all the time.
He can't deny that he craves a time of himself alone with only his thoughts about her.Thoughts about his goal,everything he'd do just for her.
"You annoying..."
Sasuke dropped his eyelids,closing it as he slowly dozed off.But with a small evident soft smile that no one could see.The stoic stern look he carries everytime.He cant even remember the time that he smiles for the most of his life he isnt able to do so.
Because he had no reason to smile.That reason wasnt here.
"....annoying woman"
