Gone (Sasuke Uchiha x reader)

chapter six

I immediately pulled away from Sasuke's grip and looked at the door. Sakura stood there with a harsh glare directed at me. "Sasuke there you are! You didn't come home last night, and then I saw Sarada and she said you were here."

"Go inside Sakura jeez!" Another voice said. The other person pushed Sakura into the room and walked inside.

"Ino?"

"_____! OH MY GOD." Ino exclaimed before rushing over to me. We hugged and she lifted me up a bit. "You're back! How? When? WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME?"

I smiled. "Uh... I came back yesterday."

"You did? Oooh... Well, I'm so glad you're home! Omg everyone has missed you so much! "

I sat on Naruto's desk. "I'm excited to see everyone too."

"Are those Hinata's clothes? I know you'd rather be dressed in something... less revealing, and black, blue, or red. Let's go shopping! Just us girls!"

Sasuke immediately brushed off his wife and looked over at us. "The deal was, you stay with Naruto and me so we can make sure you're safe."

"So you think I'll just let something happen to her?! How rude Sasuke!"

"I think that would be a good idea," Shikamaru said. "You girls can catch up, and hopefully ____ will run into a few others."

"I agree with teme, I think (NN) should stay here," Naruto said.

"Don't I get a say in this?" I asked.

"No." Everyone said. I sighed and glanced over at Sakura. She was standing off to the side, deep in thought. After a few moments, she met my gaze and glared. I blinked, then looked away. She hates me again, doesn't she? I mean, I get why, but it's not my fault. I guess? Things would've been better if I hadn't come back.

"(NN)." Naruto called me, interrupting me from my thoughts. He handed me his little froggy wallet and smiled. "You should go shopping with Ino and Sakura. I'm sure you'd rather have some clothes of your own. "

I shook my head. "No that's alright. Don't waste your money on me."

Ino slapped me in the back of my head. "As much as you've spent on this idiot over the years! This is nothing! Take it and let's go." Ino said as she pulled my arm.

I smiled. "You haven't changed a but Ino." I hesitantly took the froggy wallet and put t into the pocket of my hoodie. Ino began to drag Sakura and me out of the room, but Sasuke grabbed my arm to stop me. He stuffed some money into my pocket then poked my forehead. I took the money out and handed it back. "Here. Take it back."

Sasuke just stared at my hand.

"Take it back Sasuke."

"No. Now go." He said and closed the door in my face. How rude that ass!

"What did Sasuke want?" Ino asked as we walked down the street.

"He just shoved some money in my pocket and slammed the door in my face. That ass wouldn't even take it back."

Sakura scoffed and Ino glanced at her. "You okay?" Ino asked.

"It's just funny. My husband has given her more affection in a day than he's given me our whole marriage. It's not like she's that special anyway..." Sakura trailed off.

"Sakura! I see why you've been so moody since yesterday. You need to chill." Ino said.

"What? I'm just saying. How would you feel if someone appeared out of nowhere and tried to steal Sai from you? It's been a day and she's already being a homewrecker."

I scoffed. "I'm sorry you married someone that has never given more than two fucks about you. None of this is my fault." I hissed.

"If you hadn't come back then nothing would be wrong with my marriage! "

"I've been here for a day. If your marriage is shit then that's your own fault."

"STOP," Ino said. "There's no need for all of this... mess. We should be celebrating the fact that ___ is back. It's been a day I'm sure she's been through some rough times and just wants to live her best life."

"Besides, I wouldn't want to break up a family anyway," I said. There was a tinge of sadness in my tone, but I doubt they noticed.

Sakura smiled. "That's good. Since I was the only one that could give Sasuke a family anyway." My eyes widened and Ino looked at me, her face spelled out CONFUSION.

"Oh, you didnt think I could detect the scar tissue left behind from a miscarriage? Sucks to suck."

"Miscarriage?" Ino said and looked over at me.

My body was frozen. All I could do was stare at the ground. Tears threatened to fall, but I held them back.

"Aw got nothing to say now?"

"Sakura that's enough! What's the matter with you?" Ino said. She wrapped one of her arms around my shoulder. "C'mon let's just go find Temari and Hinata. I'm sure they'll want to hang out."

I didnt even responded. I just followed Ino silently.

~~short time skip~~~

"______!" Temari yelled once she seen me in the distance. She ran full speed, towards me. Before I even had a chance to react she jumped on me and tackled me to the ground. "WHAT THE HELL?!" She said. I could feel her crying on my shoulder. 'I guess Shika was right.' I thought.

"What happened to you?! I thought-"

"That doesn't matter," I said quickly. "I'm back now." She finally let me get up, and all three girls hugged me and burst into tears.

"I was trying to hold them back but, IM SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK," Ino exclaimed. I groaned from being crushed by those three. "I missed you guys too, but can you please let go? I can't breathe. "

They let me go and we all laughed. We walked down the street together, and they told me all about their lives and such. I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I missed this. The gossip and inside jokes. It's like I never left, but I still felt... shitty. I pushed the bad feelings to the back of my mind for now. I just want to focus on the good for once.

~~~ time skip to after shopping, brought to you by Levi's cleaning supplies ~~~

I sighed and flopped down at a bench in the mall. Ino, Temari, and Hinata dragged me around the mall for HOURS. I was carrying at least ten bags, and they had the rest.

"Man this was fun!" Ino said as she flopped down next to me.

"It was fun," Hinata said as she and Temari sat down as well.

"...where the hell am I gonna put my stuff?"

They all chuckled. "You can put your stuff in our guest room," Hinata said. We sat in comfortable silence. It feels nice to just hand out with my friends.

"I have an amazing idea!" Ino exclaimed suddenly.

"What?"

"We get the guys to clean up ____'s old house, and then have everyone come together for a special party. Then, our surprise guest will be ____ herself!"

"Grea idea! I can make Shikamaru start tomorrow!"

"I can get Sakura to watch the flower shop so Sai and I can help."

"I'll help too! I'm sure Naruto will help when he has time."

"I don't think all this will be necessary," I said.

"It is absolutely necessary!" Ino said. "And we're doing it. You won't have to do anything! We'll even pick out an amazing outfit for you."

I sighed. I knew there was no changing their minds.

"So... (NN).." Ino trailed off. I knew this wasn't gonna be good. She almost never calls me (NN).

"Sakura... mentioned that thing earlier, mind telling us about that? And what's with that whole situation with Sasuke? "
