Chapter 154

I do not own pic!

Tatsu started walking off back home while Sasuke was just standing in his spot and watching him with that shocked look still on his face...
How come an Uchiha came all over here? The boy is just a little child...,the old woman he was talking to earlier mentioned something about his mother...[name] Uchiha is the only one known woman who could be his mother...she is his mother for sure!

Sasuke decided to follow the child to his home, Tatsu was walking all along the path leading to your house in the fatherst side of village until he was near it, he didn't notice Sasuke following him until he called him.
"Hey you! little boy...", your son turned around quickly, a bit startled by the sudden call, he looked at the tall man with dark attire and dark hair coming closer to him...why does he reminds him of his dad so much?
"Who are you sir and what do you want?", Tatsu said with a small frown, ignoring for a moment your constant warnings to him about talking to strangers, well...this man does look too familiar...
"Don't worry little one, I don't want to harm you, tell me, what's your name?", Sasuke said in a calm and nice way, trying not to scare Tatsu.
"Tatsu...Tatsu Uchiha", your son said tilting his head to one side confused.
"Is [name] Uchiha...your mother?", Sasuke asked gently, hoping that his thoughts are correct.
"Yes! Do you want her to heal you?!", Tatsu asked as his frown has been gone, it seems the man only needs some medical care that's all.
'Heal? Right...', Sasuke thought.
"Yes, can you lead me to your home and tell her that I wants to see her?", Sasuke requested gently as Tatsu nodded and contined walking to your home followed by the Uchiha who was getting so impatient to see you, this time he is sure he is not mistaken, the little boy takes after you, but also takes a lot after his older brother...everything makes sense.

"Mom! I'm home!", Tatsu declared as he slide the door open and entered then took off his shoes, while Sasuke remained outside waiting, he didn't want to be rude just entering without a permission. Tatsu walked to the kitchen where you have been baking a cake and handed you the wrapped box that lady Noriko gave to him and asked him to carry it to you, as you thanked him and took it from him.
"Lady Noriko had sent us some delicious sweets!", you said as you unwrapped the box and opened it, seeing it full of beautiful colorful wagashi sweets as Tatsus eyes brightened excitedly as he looked at them, then quickly remembered to tell you about the guest waiting outside.
"Mom, someone wants to see you, he is outside", Tatsu said reaching for a piece of sweet.
"Tatsu darling, I told you several times not to talk to strangers, anyway...what does he want? Did he tell you who is he?", you asked him putting the sweets aside and taking a look at the cake.
"No he didn't tell me, but he said he needs you to heal him", Tatsu said eating his piece of sweet.
"I see...okay sweetheart, you go play with your cat now and I will go see this person", you said with a smile as you washed your hands and turned off the oven and took the cake out of it and let it cool down, then took off your apron and started walking to the front door while Tatsu went to search for his cat in the yard.

Sasuke was still outside, standing at the front door when he heard some footsteps coming, finally...
"Hello...", you said with a small smile walking to the door, as you then froze in your place, your smile disappeared once you saw the guest Tatsu told you about...
You can never forget his face...that day as he laid down unconscious next to Itachi's lifeless body...
"Hey...", Sasuke said calmly noticing the unreadable look on your face once you've seen him...that's her, the [name] he has been looking for days and nights nonstop...

He knows your reaction might be so violent if you still don't know what happened exactly, you will blame him for what happened to Itachi and might even try to kill him...
No...you didn't do any reaction like that...
You only remained silent staring at him, is he here for Itachi? But Itachi didn't tell you he sent him anything to let him know he is alive...maybe it is better to know from Sasuke why is he here.

"Sasuke", you said calmly, with that emotionless look still on your face as he nodded slowly at you.
"I'm here to see you [name]...and to explain everything to you...what happened between me and my brother...", he said calmly making you rise an eyebrow, so he is here for you, it doesn't seem like he knows about Itachi yet.
"Well then...it is not polite to talk at the door, please come in", you said moving from the door and letting him in, as he walked inside, a bit surprised by your calmness, Obito told him you have witnessed the end of his and Itachi's fight and you know he killed him, why you're not mad or angry at him?

You lead him to your beautiful reception room as he followed you, the house is pretty, it reminds him of his old home, how long did Itachi live here with you?
He entered the room with you as his eyes looked at the wall seeing the big Uchiha crest on it, he sat down on a pillow as you mentioned for him, while you went to the kitchen to prepare some tea.
You sat across from him with a cup of tea in front of each of you, he observed you with his piercing eyes, too many thoughts were in his mind...he can see why Itachi refused to let anyone get close to you even after his death...

"May I know the reason for this sudden visit Sasuke Uchiha?", you started the conversation, something that made things easier for Sasuke apparently, you wanted to delay telling him about Itachi for a while, at least until you know what he really wants from you.
"I know that you know what happened between me and Itachi...but I guess I have to expalain more...why did that happen and how I was fooled", he said in a serious voice looking you straight in the eyes.
"There is no need for that, I know the truth, and I'm...sorry that you had to pass through such a pain and suffering", you said calmly, making him to rise his eyebrows in surprise, how?!
"How?! Who told you?!", he asked, thinking about it...the person who is most closely to be the one who told you is Obito...

"It doesn't matter now who told me, tell me, what brought you all the way here? You just came to tell me what happened? Is that all?", you asked as you took a sip from your cup of tea.
"I was looking for you to meet you and make sure you're fine and tell you what happened and apologize...and also, to take you with me", Sasuke said noticing the frown on your face as he said the last part.
"Take me with you?", you said in confusion, putting the cup of tea, feeling uncomfortable about what he is going to say.
"Yes", he said confidently, making you shake your head and sigh.
"I'm sorry, I'm really good here with my son, we live a peaceful life and everything is fine for us", you said in a serious voice.
"But you could be in danger! Who knows what would happen if someone... finds out who you are", he said, not wanting to give up on this.
"In that case you'd find out I'm fully capable to protect myself and my child, besides, I've been always safe here, I was only put in dangers when I left my village", you said sternly, making him frown, you're stubborn.

"I can't leave you here alone! You're my sister-in-law, the one who has been close to Itachi during his last and bad times...I want our clan to be together again, and you and your son are a part of it, your son has Itachi's blood running through his vessels, please understand! I don't want to lose you two like I lost him!", Sasuke clutching his hands into fists as you sighed, he doesn't listen to you...
"And if I don't want to come with you, what will you do? Drag me by force?", you said, still in a cool and reserved composure, something that only made him even more determined to take you back with him.
"If I had to, yes!", he said more determined, his eyes locked with yours, but before you can say anything else...you two has been interrupted by the voice of a certain someone, that Sasuke knows very well, making him turn around quickly to the source of the sound with his eyes wide, not believing what he is seeing and hearing...it is impossible...

"That's enough...Sasuke...", Itachi said in a calm but serious voice as he stepped in...
