Be With Me: Memories Of You (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 10 - My Reason

Sarada sat on her bed as she looked at the photo of when her parents were young. So many question came in mind. Like why does this red hair have the same glasses as she does? And why is papa in the same photo as her and why is mama with uncle Itachi in one photo. So many questions with no answer. She hated the fact that her parents never mention any of these things to her and the fact that papa was always gone made her upset again.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

Sakura knocked on the door and open it as she saw her daughter looking at photos and not looking up at her. She sighed and looked at her with a sad expression. "May we come in?" Sakura asked as she held a box with photos while sasuke was behind her. Sarada noticed and let them.
Sakura open the door more and move a chair closer as Sasuke did as well. Sasuke looked around her room and noticed all the stuff plush he send her even when she was young. Her room was a cute girl's room with a bunch of books, which made him smile.

"So, Naruto told us that you were concern about something, and your father and i think it's best that you know about your family". Sakura said as she reached
for the family picture that Sarada had. She handed it to her as she handed it to Sasuke. Sasuke looked at it and sign.

"This is my family, My mother Mikoto Uchiha, my older brother Itachi Uchiha and my father Fugaku Uchiha. Um, my brother and father was apart of the police force for Konoha and at the time i was still in college. I met your mother when we were in middle school and dated during college. My father was a bad man and... Killed a lot of people and hurt my friends. He killed my mother, Itachi and almost Sakura. He hurt Naruto, Hinata, and everyone else and with that I didn't want to tell you about them because you are too young to understand but you aren't anymore". Sasuke smiled at how much she has grown.

"When we were dating, I got hurt many times by people who are now our friends, but at the time, they were held captive by him. Karin, the girl with the red hair in that picture you're holding, She was one of the victim and she was forced to do a lot to me and Sasuke and ruin our relationship at the times. There was a point where i wasn't me. I was drugged and fell off the balcony, which made me forget things and I didn't know who Sasuke was. Itachi, was always there for me and at a point might have gain feelings for one another. After gaining my memories, that's when things started to reveal and later on your uncle was killed. After his death, Sasuke and his parent moved away for a year and i didn't have contact with him but 4 times during that year". Sakura said as she held on to sasuke hand.

Sarada looked at the sad expression on their faces and felt their pain. "How did you guys come back?" Sarada looked at them as they smiled.

"At Naruto and Hinata's wedding. He surprised me on the beach, which mark the day you were conceived". Sakura blushed.

"I went back home and put an end to Fugaku and that's when he shot mother because he didn't want anyone knowing about the drugs he was involved with due to our great-great-great grandfather. The police and i were involved and on that day he was captured and mother was killed. Since then, your mother and i have been living our lives with you". Sasuke squeezed her hand.

"I was 8 months pregnant when we had our wedding and everyone else had their kids. Hinata was pregnant with Himawari two years later after and we all lived our lives peacefully".

"So why doesn't papa live here with us! Why have you been missing all this time!" Sarada shoutted. Sasuke looked at her with sadness.

"I have a degree in policy force and the police force that my father run didn't want me due to the fact what my father did. So they needed help with the police force back in New York where i studied and then i became commissioner of that police force. So it was hard for me to come back. New York is a bad place to live that i didn't want to put you guys in that environment. I'm sorry I haven't visit as much as i should have. At the time of your birth, money was a bit hard on us and with this money from working there, it helped a lot, but it ruin our relationship with you, and with that, i'm sorry Sarada". Sasuke said with a sad expression.

"Sarada, your first word were papa and your father taught you how to walk and was there for your first step. Your father was there for the first of many things when you were a toddler, but going back and forth from united states back here is a lot. We had to do what we could to support each other, even if it's working from a far.". Sakura smiled.

Sarada looked at her parents and looked down at the picture of when her parents were young. She admire how pretty her mother was and how happy she looked and how handsome her dad was, she wish should could have meet them back than, thinking about it made her smile.

"Papa, how was mom when she was young?" Sakura asked with a big smile.

"Annoying." Sasuke said bluntly, which made Sakura mouth drop and Sakura laugh. "She would always spy on me from afar and would always be loud with Naruto which always gave me headaches. You can say your mother was what we call "A girly girl".

"Sasuke!" said blushing in embarrassment.

"When did you realize she was the one?" Sarada asked.

Sarada asked as her and Sakura waited for the answer. "When she stared at the beach one day as her hair blew in the wind. It just so happen we ended going to the mall the same day".

Sakura eyes widen as she remember that day clearly. She was looking into the ocean and thinking about how the years went by, and now that she thinks about now, older and wiser, she has gone through so much, which made her smile. "If i knew back  when i was that i would go unconscious, and loose my parents and so much more, i'd go through it many times to be here. The things that we went through were challenges that we went through but it brought us here, with you. We both love you, no matter how far we are or close".

Sarada teared up and quickly got out the bed and hugged her parents. "I'm sorry for being so mad at you guys. You only did what was best for me".

"If i could, i do it again. I would do it again just to have you" Sasuke her tightly. It's been so long since he was able to hold her tightly, since she was a toddler and now she's big and smart.
He was so proud of his daughter and all the things she accomplished even if he wasn't involved.
Even though his time in Japan is short, he was going to make each day special as much as he could.

Sarada removed her glasses and wiped away her glasses and smiled. "Oh one more question! If you don't mind me asking, What happened to Grandpa? Did he pass away?" she asked as she sat on the bed.

Sakura looked at Sasuke as she didn't know if he would want to answer it. "He's alive, and in prison for life. I made sure in the trial, that he would never see you ever in his life". Sarada saw the anger in her father's eyes and didn't asked again.

"I wish i could have meet Uncle Itachi" Sarada looked at the photo and smiled.

"Heh, he would have love to see you too". Sasuke said with a smile.
