Recap:

With Sasuke and Sakura - "Lets keep going." Sasuke continued walking on. Sakura nodded and followed after him.

With Naruto - "I need water." Naruto rubbed his throat. His mouth tasted like horrid sake. "Maybe I shouldn't have drank so much." He laughed a little. "If I had parents like Sakura does I probably wouldn't have... speaking of which... where is Sakura?" End Recap


Chapter 3: A Departure and A Discovery


It was now mid day. Sakura had gotten changed into her jounin clothes without being noticed by anyone other than Kakashi who had appeared while her and Sasuke were walking to her home.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were now sitting outside doing nothing in particular. They didn't have anything to do. No missions. They all figured it was probably because everyone had been to drunk to make any request or do anything other than sleep and mope around with soar heads.

Sasuke was usually quiet, but he seemed uncomfortably silent now. Sakura was worried about him. Naruto was did not to what to think of it. When he had seen Sakura and Sasuke it had given him a weird feeling because the two seemed different. He did not know exactly how, but they just did. He let it slip as their new clothing.

"Sakura..." Sasuke began. "I need to talk to you." Sakura and Naruto looked at him. "Alone..." He finished with a twitching eyebrow. Naruto huffed, crossing his arms in annoyance. He got up and exited the scene/

"What is it?" Sakura asked.

"I need you to do something for me?"

"Sure, anything."

"I'm leaving for a little while."

"Leaving? How long?"

"I'm not sure. I'll return soon, but when I'm gone I need you to cover for me."

"But why?"

"It's not important. Just make sure I'm not considered a missing jounin of the village. Can you do that?"

"Of course, but.."

"Good. I'm leaving now."

"Sasuke..." Sakura reached a hand out, but in a flash Sasuke was gone from her grasp and out of her site. She frowned and looked down. She wondered where he was going and hoped he would be back soon. 'Be safe.'

A Month Later

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Sakura screamed out falling to her knees. Her emotions were seriously acting up and she was so pissed that Sasuke still had not returned. "Who does he think he is? Just disappearing like that? I can't cover for him for much longer. He better come back!" Through all her anger tears could be seen. She covered her eyes trying to be as brave as possible. "He's so stupid just leaving me here like this to cover for him..."

Sakura leaned over. She had to vomit. This was horrid. She hated it. She had been getting morning sickness for the past couple days. She was disgusted, but she had a good idea of what the problem was. She had a feeling it wasn't just a stomach flu.

Sakura ignored any stares from passing villagers. She got up and ran towards the woods. She really wanted to be alone right now. She needed to figure some things out.

"Sakura!" Sakura turned quickly at the sound of Naruto's voice. He came running. She stopped and waited for him to catch up to her. In all truth she did not really want to talk to him. He just kept on bugging her about where Sasuke was and other things that she did not wish to answer. Naruto was her friend and he was a very good one that she both cherished and admired, but at the moment she really wanted to be alone. "Sakura-chan.. I saw you crying on the bridge.."

"I..." Sakura looked away from him. "I'm not feeling well. I'll be fine."

"Are.. you sure?" Naruto was worried about his friend. Ever since Sasuke left she seemed so down and tired. Sakura nodded. "Do you want me to walk you to your house?"

"No. I have some things to do."

"Do you want some help."

"No, I'm sorry. I need to be alone." Sakura jumped off past him. 'Sasuke you better come back now. I'm not ready for a goodbye. I won't be able to live without you.' She jumped from tree to tree, searching for nothing, but peace.

She landed near a stream and looked down into it. She frowned. Looking into it she didn't see herself she saw Sasuke looking back at her. She reached her hand down and touched the surface of the stream. The ripples caused his face to go away and turn into hers. 'He went away just like that.' She sat on the ground. She had to get to the problem at hand.

"So I've missed my period. I have morning sickness, mood swings, fatigue, and my belly is swollen. This can only mean one thing." She leaned on her hand. Normally she might be in an extreme state of depress at her conclusion, but she looked upon it in more of a bored way. "I'm pregnant. It's just so ironic."

'That one night I finally get to be together intimately with Sasuke I'm drunk, I get pregnant, and he leaves. This sucks...' The truth was she had so much more to say to herself about this, but she did not want to, because the more she admitted the sadder she would become and she did not want to be sad. She wanted Sasuke back so she could be happy, but could they really be happy if she was going to have a child. She was so young and others would look upon her shamefully. Everyone would know about what happened between her and Sasuke. There really was nothing to do about it now.


Another short chapter, I know, but it's 5:40 am and I still haven't been to sleep. Normally I am nocturnal during the summer, but since I didn't get to sleep during the day either I'm pretty worn down. I'll try and update soon. By the way this chapter consist of 1093 words.
