Konoha's Cherry Blossom 21

(IN THE DREAM CHARM)

Sakura sat down next to a riverside, waiting for Sasuke.  Looking down at her reflection in the too-blue water, she smiled.  For once, she was glad to see herself with pink hair on her head; it seemed to remind her that she was Sakura—not Tiashi, or anyone else for that matter.  Sasuke came up from behind her and looked at her—their—reflection in the water.  He was back in his spiky, chicken-butt, raven hair and his beautiful onyx eyes.  In the water, here is what they saw:  Sakura with Sasuke behind her, his head resting on her shoulder and his arms tied around her petite form.  She also saw a small smile on Sasuke’s face.
“What’s got you in such a good mood?” she questioned curiously.
“Just thinking about what happened this afternoon, that’s all.”  When she gave him an odd look, he continued.  “I had asked for you to lap Itachi in the face, but shooting poison in his mouth works too!  Very creative,” he praised.  
“Well, that’s what’s going to happen to a guy if he tries to kiss me!” she replied defiantly.  Sasuke pulled her back further into his chest and placed his lips at the base of Sakura’s neck.
“And what will happen if I kiss you, hmm?” he mumbled seductively into his skin.  Sakura turned her head so that her lips were almost touching his.
“Well, I guess you’ll have to try it to find out,” she whispered.  Sasuke placed his lips on Sakura’s and moved them slowly and surely.  Sakura turned around completely sat in his lap.  Sasuke leaned back so sat Sakura was on top of him and held her to him, slipping his tongue inside her mouth.  Sakura shivered.
It was a tongue war:  spicy against sweet.
Sasuke flipped the two over deepened the kiss, then , following instincts, put his hand up her shirt.


Sakura woke up slowly, blinking in the bright sunlight.  She really wished she were still in the dream; at least she could remember it—most of it, that is.  She could easily recall his glorious kissing—that was clear.  His hands roaming daringly over her body and hers over his.  Everything after that was a bit of a blur.  The only things that came to mind of what happened was heat, sweat, and her screaming out his name at some moments.—
Oh, god, they did it.   
But what really surprised her was the fact she felt like she had actually done it with him outside the dream charm—in real life.  Sakura brought her hand up to her neck and rubbed over the area Sasuke had marked—the hickies were there!  She quickly checked the rest of her body—yep; she had all of his marks.  Good thing her Akatsuki cloak covered almost her entire body.  Sakura quickly sat up and got out of bed, but then quickly got back in.  Apparently she had all the affects of having sex.
Wait a minute!!!!  If all of these were showing up, then what if she was…
Forgetting about her pain, Sakura dashed out of bed, got dressed and went downstairs, grabbing a piece of toast on her way out the door, yelling “I’m going out, Chyio!”  Sakura made her way to the nearest drugstore.  She bought what she was looking for and charged back to the headquarters, hiding her purchased item under her cloak.  Sakura ran to the bathroom connected to her bedroom and pulled out the pregnancy test and read the instructions.  
Thirty minutes later, Sakura checked the results for the fifth time—
POSITIVE
She couldn’t believe it; she was pregnant.  PREGNANT!!!!!  This wasn’t good.  This really wasn’t good.  She was going to be in the battle of a lifetime tomorrow!  Well, first things first, go and blame the man responsible: the father.   Sakura cringed at the word.  She went downstairs and found Sasuke eating Sasuke with some of the other men.  She stalked over to him.
“You, outside, NOW!!”  Sasuke was about to say something, but then immediately obeyed after seeing the look on his face.  They walked out far enough to where if someone screamed, no one would hear them.  With ever step he took, Sasuke became more and more nervous.  She turned to him sharply and punched hard enough to send him flying.
“What was that for?!” he screamed, confused.
“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?  Well, do you?!?!”  He didn’t answer; he was scared.  Sakura walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar and shoved into the nearest tree.  Leaning in close, she put her mouth next to his ear.  “Well, thanks to you, I have to go into battle tomorrow knowing that I’ll be pregnant!” she seethed darkly.  She leaned back and gave him an icy glare.  After getting a look at Sasuke's face, Sakura was really confused.  He looked shocked, to say the least.
“You’re pregnant?”  She nodded.  “Because of me?”  She nodded again, getting annoyed with his questions.
“Now, any last words before I pummel you to the ground?”  Sasuke pushed them out a bit from the tree and kissed her fully on the mouth, pulled her back and pun her in the air in circles then brought her down and pulled her into a tight embrace.  
“I wasn’t expecting this,” he whispered.  Sakura could feel him shaking.  
“Sasuke, are you….crying?” she asked quietly.  She pulled her head back and looked at him in the face.  He was, indeed, crying.  Sasuke brought his hands up and wiped away the tears, laughing slightly.
“I’m just….oh, I don’t know!  I can’t remember the last time I felt this way!” he said.  He touched his forehead to hers.  “Thank you, for giving me such a gift…Sakura.”  Sakura laughed a little.
“Hey, calm down!  It hasn’t come yet!”
“No, but it will!  I’m going to be a father!” he whispered.  Sakura couldn’t believe it.  She had never seen Sasuke look so happy!  Then a disturbing thought hit her.
“Um, Sasuke,” she mumbled, “what if something happens.  Or…I die…” she asked, not really wanting to see his reaction.  He looked at her slowly, deep into her eyes.  He took her face in his hands and tilted it up so that she had to look at him.
“That will not happen; I’m going to protect you with my life so you won’t get hurt.  Do you understand?” he asked slowly.  Sakura nodded.  He bent his head down and gave her a long, soft kiss on the lips.  “Good; just promise me you won’t think like that during the fight, okay?” he asked in a whisper.  
“Okay.”  After a moment they headed back to the headquarters.  On the way back Sasuke kept muttering, ‘I’m going to be a father!’.  
Although she didn’t show it, Sakura was a bit upset.  Sasuke kept on saying that he was going to be a father, not that they were going to b parents.  So what did that mean?  That he was going to let her have the child and then take it away from her and have it as all his own?  What would he say when the child asked about their mother?  
“You alright?  You’re highlights just turned kind of gray,” Sasuke asked worriedly.  Sakura looked at him and studied him for a moment for what seemed like eternity.  Would Sasuke really be so selfish that he would take their child and keep it all to himself?  Sakura looked away and walked of in another direction; she also blocked out his voice calling out to her.  Who’s to know?  Maybe after the battle and mission tomorrow, the fates will bring them together.  But that would have to wait until after the mission—if she had and after.
