Fire Flowers (SasuSaku) Naruto Fanfiction

New Mission.

----

There was a knock on the door, that turned into pounding on the door.  I stood up fast, I was pissed.  Putting on the shirt Sakura was wearing last night and some sweat pants.  Sakura sat up in the bed and yawned making me yawn before walking down to answer the door.  The floor was cold under my feet walking across the room.  Opening the door stood Naruto.

I looked at him with a blank face.

He looked back and batted his eyes waiting for me to say something.

"What."  I said.

"Good morning to you too Sasuke, hows Sakura?"  Naruto answered back.

"I'm fine Naruto."  Sakura yelled from inside as she walked across the floor into the kitchen.

"You're not allowed to be walking around."  I say back walking into the kitchen leaving the front door open.

Naruto let himself in following me into the Kitchen.

Sakura sighed and set the milk on the table ignoring me.

"You're house is amazing!"  Naruto said looking around.

I give him a death glare as Sakura smiled and replied.  "I know!"  As she got down the cereal.

"Sakura."  I say getting her a bowl for her cereal.  "You should be in bed, I'll get you anything you need for a while.  I'm not leaving anytime soon."

"Sasuke I'm fine, did everyone forget I'm Sakura Haruno, the one who studied under one of the sannin, has the 1,000 healing jutsu, top medical nin?!"  

"Uh..."  Sakura and I both looked at Naruto.  "Kakashi wants to see you Sasuke, that's why I'm here.

"Hn."  I nod my head and go up stares to get ready and dress in my ANBU outfit and go see Kakashi.

"Sakura."  I hear Naruto say as I was walking up the steps.

"Yeah?"  Sakura says back.

"So... I can feel other chakra around me because of Kurama, and Hinata has two chakras now..."

"So you think Hinata is pregnant?"  Sakura ask out boldly.

"SAKURA!!!!  You didn't have to say it so openly!"

"I'm a doctor, what do you expect.  Did you tell this to Hinata yet?"

"N-No not yet."

"Well... Go home and tell her what you think and what you feel then bring her over here and I'll look at her."

"ALRIGHT!"  Naruto yelled before running out the door.

I sat in the hall listing.  'Naruto's going to be a father... And so am I.'  I say in my head before smiling and walking to the room.

Dressed in ANBU and ready to go, Sakura wan't in the room still.  "Sakura I'm leaving."  I say walking down the steps.  No one answered back.  "Sakura?"  I say looking into the kitchen room, she wasn't there and everything was cleaned up.  I walked into the living room and she fell asleep on the couch.  'And the process starts.'  I say with a smirk know Sakura is going to be sleeping a lot and acting out.  Pulling the small white blanket off that hung off the side of the chair I lay it over Sakuras body before walking out the door.

I knocked on the Hokaga door and there was a faint "come in" from the other side, I walked in and stood in-front of Kakashi.  

"You said you wanted the Uchiha compound back?"  Kakashi ask me.

"Hn."  

"You can have the compound back once there's more Uchiha, just you and Sakura wont work with all that land, even if you have five children, it still wouldn't work.  Once your children have children you can have the land back but for now it's for public use."

It's reasonable, I would like to live where I grew up but everything is gone now so it's not that big a problem, all I care about is that I now know the Uchiha will once again have more land.

"Now that solo mission, you can have one and we will see how it goes.  You will leave for a few months, maybe could be a year or more.  If it ends up taking longer then expected then you can come back for a day or two.  You have to travel to the Land of Flames, it's about a weeks trip by carriage.  Once there you have to help them find peace in the villages and work as one of there ninjas.  Sounds easy but it's not.  You leave tonight between the now and 11pm.  You have to find your own way of travel.  Pack up everything and say good bye."

"Hn."  I walk out of the tower and start to head back to the house.  Now that I know Sakura will have our first child I don't want to leave her on her own but I can't say no to any mission I get.  Sakura goes back to work tomorrow, she'll have money but not to support a child on her own.  She'll have her friends to help her out.  I sigh as I walk into the house knowing she has to watch me pack up everything and leave.

She wasn't sleeping in the living room anymore.  The house was quite.  I walked to our room and you could hear water running in the bathroom.  I packed my stuff before Sakura got out of the bathroom.  It's 8am and I plan to leave by 12pm.  Sitting back on the bed I sigh and look at the bag of clothes.  'Wont see Sakura for a while.' I say in my head.

"Sasuke?  Is that you?"  Sakura yells from the bathroom.

"Yeah?"  I say back.

"Just making sure it was you."  

'What is she doing?'  I ask myself before getting off the bed and walking to the bathroom, the door was open a little so I quietly walk in.  Sakura was sitting with her back to the door in the bath,  she had the lights dim with a candle lit next to the tub.  

"Sakura."  I whisper as I sit down next to the tub letting my hands sink into the water.

Sakura opened her eyes and looked over at me.  "Hm?"

"I'm leaving."

"You just got back, eat something first."  She says closing her eyes again.

"I wont be back for a few months to a year."  I say back looking at Sakuras face.

She sat up in the bath and looked at me.  "What do you mean?"

"Kakashi gave me a mission, I have to go to the Land of Flames."  

She put her hands on my cheeks, water slid down my face and met in the middle of my chin before falling back into the tub.  "That's fine, I can go with you."  She said and kissed me at the end.

Sakura layed back in the and closed her eyes.  "So when we leaving and who's all going?"

"Sakura you start work back up tomorrow an-"  She cut me off.

"It's fine, I don't have to go."

"You can't-"

"This will be gre-."

"Sakura you're not going.  No one is going, it's solo."  I coldly say.

"B-But..."  Sakura says in a low voice.

I put my arm in the water not caring that my sleeve is soaking up the water and place my hand on Sakuras belly.  "I know you know just as well as I do that you're pregnant."  

Tears slowly fell from Sakuras eyes.  "The baby Sasuke."  Sakura whispered.

"I know.  I'm sorry but I have to leave."  

"Now...?"  She slowly says.

"Before 12."

"Stay with me."  

"I am."
