Chapter 5 - Mother

"Why did I do that?" Sakura was leaning on a rock holding her head between her hands. "How stupid of me." she thought not sensing that someone was approaching only when he was 2 meters away.

"Who...? You..." Sakura stuttered when she saw Itachi was naked in the pond 2 meters away from her. "I thought you were sleeping with Yasuo." she turned her head to the side.

"I wasn't. I just closed my eyes for him to take after me." He stared her in the eyes.

"Then you..." She looked at him frightened.

"Yes. Why did you do that?" he asked. Itachi slowly was closing the distance between them until he pushed Sakura to the wall with no escape. "Don't get so close." she whispered. "I thought you weren't afraid of me." Itachi replied.

"I'm not but...I'm not wearing a towel Uchiha. So keep your distance." Sakura tried to run to the side but the end of the pond was slippery so eventually she fell. However Itachi caught her in time by the waist. "L-Let me go." she yelled. "Stay still or we're going to fall. But I won't let go of you." Sakura was stunned for a second and afterwards she regained her composture.

"If you don't let go of me I swear..."

"You won't do anything. All you did until now was to save me or help me. You never even tried to harm me." He caught her hands and spread them above her head. "And there's nothing I didn't see at a woman that you have Haruno."

"Of course...after all you..." she clenched her teeth when she realised what she was about to say.

"I what?" Itachi glared at her trying to figure out what she wanted to say but in vain. Nothing was coming in his mind.

"Nothing. Let me go... It hurts..." she squeaked. "My stomache..." Itachi looked down at her lower body only to find an old wound right above her belly.

____________________________________________________________

"What happened?" he asked. "Why do you have this cut here?" he caught her emerald eyes starting to tear. "Stop it. Please. It hurts so much." She was crying now and Itachi just stayed there and looked at her crying as she couldn't hold her emotions anymore. He just wanted to find out from her about a few things and he managed to make her cry like this. Just what hurt her so much in the past that she was like that?

"I want to know Sakura." It was the second time when he called her Sakura. She looked up at him to find not red eyes but onyx, dark eyes waiting for her answer. "That's where...my baby was killed." Itachi froze. "Her baby...killed?" he figured now why she was sad and hurt when she looked at the little Yasuo. Somehow it pained him too to find out such a thing.

"Are you happy now? Just...let me go...Please." she begged him with crying eyes and he couldn't look at her anymore. Without thinking he pulled her in a warm embrace and kept her close as she was crying. That moment it seemed for him that the time has stopped forever. Her crying stopped. She was shocked at what he did. She was expecting him to shove her away but he did the exact contrary. Then she came back to reality.

"Enough. I'm fine. There's no need for you to feel pity for me." Sakura was the one to shove him away. "This time you caught me with my guard down. It won't happen ever again. From now on...don't do such a thing ever again. After all I'm your enemy since I killed your little brother. That should be an enough reason for you to hate me." she said emphasizing the hating part.

"You're right. But the more I look at you the more I want to find out about your reasons for killing him and why are you so cold. You were not like that before, at least when I met you the first time." Itachi was serious now looking at her with his dark eyes.

"Those time are gone since a long time ago. But don't forget one thing: that the one who made me like this was your brother. And I'm never going to forgive him for what he has done. Not being able to read the truth he went on like a beast killing them seeking revenge." Sakura regained her composture and strength. She was not the weak Sakura that everyone knew. She arranged the towel on her body and exited the pond leaving Itachi in the same spot.

"How do you want me to leave you alone when you have that pain and sadness in your eyes? You pretend to be strong and thus you won't let your true feeling take over you. Just like a body without a soul." thought Itachi then he shook his head. "Considering her a woman is not going to take me anywhere. There is no space for feelings...Just like you said you're my brother's murderer.

"Feelings like love or like...cannot exist between Uchiha's and others." He left the hot spring and went inside his room.

__________________________________________________________

The next 4 days they kept avoiding each other. The night before the arrival of the other members from their mission Itachi was the one to take care of Yasuo. He was in the "Living room" while Sakura was preparing Yasuo's milk. That was the only time when they had to face each other. Sakura entered the room and looked at Itachi holding the baby. "This is the right way. There's no way back." she thought to herself.

"Here's the milk." She handed the milk bottle to him and turned around to leave when she heard Yasuo trying to talk.

"Ma....ma..." Itachi looked at her. She turned around to look at Yasuo when he talked again. "Mama..." he was trying to break out of Itachi's hold to go to her. Sakura put her right hand on her mouth and turned with her back at them. She walked out of the hideout, Itachi's gaze still following her but not doing anything. He just watched her.

"Sakura !" Sakura was outside leaning on a wall and looking at the sky. She heard a girl's voice from afar. It was Konan. "Does it mean that they are back?" she thought.

"Hey Konan. Are you done with your mission?" she asked.

"Yes. Though it was a pain in the ass." Konan stopped and laid beside her. The other members went inside the hideout. "Hey are you ok?" Asked Konan.

"Huh? Y-Yeah. Um..." she tried to talk.

"What is it? Did something happen while we were away?" she looked at Sakura.

"Yes. Your son Yasuo..." Konan's eyes widened. "Ma...ma..." Konan was shocked. "Sp he finally talked?" She was so happy that she was almost dancing in the middle of the night. "Yes...he did..." Konan looked again at Sakura and she figured it out. "Oh

no...Sakura...I'm sorry..." Konan was trying to apologise.

"No. Don't be. I was shocked. Hearing him call me mother...it was wonderful...However I'm not his mother."

"I'm sorry. But what about your baby? Didn't you say that..."

"He's dead. He was killed while I was in my still 2 months." Sakura looked to the sky. "He must be one of those stars up there."

Konan watched Sakura as she was expressing her emotions for the first time. She was sad, hurt and she was feeling the most painful a mother could ever feel. "I have just one question. May I?" asked Konan.

"Yes." Sakura sighed. "Who was the father?" Sakura froze. Her mind became blank as she was remembering the night when she had the baby. It pained her to remember those moments as those were the most wonderful ones of her entire life. The only thing

Sakura could say and unintentionally was "Uchiha." Konan grasped.

"You can't be..." She tried to say something but her words wouldn't come out. "An Uchiha was the one to give life, and an Uchiha was the one to take it." Sakura told herself that she wouldn't cry and she managed to do so. Konan seeing her left her alone.

She went inside the room only to find the others playing with Yasuo. She searched for one person and found him. She had to talk to him.

________________________________________________________

"I need to talk to you dear." she said to Pein. "It's about Sakura." She tried to say it however low she could but Itachi still heard her and followed the two without them noticing.

"What is it Konan? Did something happen to her?" he asked. Konan laid her left hand on her belly. "Are you hurting there?" Pein was becoming nervous. "No. Not me. Sakura. I didn't tell you until now because I thought about her. She had a baby Pein." Pein understood what she said but didn't know what  to say about that. "And he died. Killed."

"Who would kill an innocent being like a baby?" Pein was angry. "She told me that an Uchiha was the one to give life, and an Uchiha to take it." Itachi froze. "Was Sasuke the one who killed it?" he thought.

"Who are you thinking about?" asked Konan.

"I'm thinking about Uchiha Sasuke, Itachi's brother. I think that's why she killed him." replied Pein.

"But even so how could he... I mean, it's a baby Pein. No wonder Sakura was so attached to Yasuo. And she told me tonight he called her mama...Do you know how she felt? I found her outside devastated." Itachi left the hideout without anyone noticing. In the end he couldn't leave her alone. "Was Sasuke really the one who did that to you? Why would he sleep with you if he killed your baby in the end? I didn't think that he would be that kind of person."

"Please don't tell anyone about what I told you ok? Let's just observe her for a while." asked Konan. Pein looked at her and understood her pain. Any mother would be grieffing over losing a child.

Itachi found her outside staring at the sky. That moment he thought she was beautiful. A tear rolled down on her cheek silently falling on her clothes. She didn't bother to wipe it. This was the second time he saw her crying. If really Sasuke was the one to kill her baby he had no right to hate her. "She said he took two most important things from her. One of them could be her kid but what about the other one?" he thought.

___________________________________________________________

"Sa...kura?" a girl's voice could be heard from behind Sakura.

"This voice...Ino?" whispered Sakura. "What the hell are you doing here? Do you know where this is?" she said nervous.

"So you joined the Akatsuki." whispered Ino. "After you killed them you joined this organization of low people. That say is true: Birds of a feather flock together." she said.

"Stop talking like that Ino. Tsunade-sama predicted that she was soon to be targeted by Mist shinobi's. Sakura you can come back. The council decided that your act was not one of a treason and you were absolved of all accusations." The one who spoke was Anko. "Even though...she killed Sasuke...Did you kill him because he chose me? I thought you were a friend Sakura." Sakura began to tremble.

"Enough. I will not allow you to talk to her like that." Itachi got out from his hidden spot and defended her. "Uch..." He knew that she could break down any moment even though she tried to seem strong.

"Just like I said." Ino couldn't hold her anger anymore. "Why did you do that? Why did you have to kill him? You know how much I loved him!" Sakura decided that it was not fair for Ino to feel like that.

"Ino...You don't know what you're talking about. Is he that important to you? Do you even know what he's done to me? He did something irreparable."

"Sakura, I'm pregnant! How am I supposed to go on like that?" Sakura's eyes widened and Itachi was stunned too. He heard very well what she said. "You're....pregnant?" tried Sakura to say. Itachi finally understood why Sakura was like that. Sasuke slept with Sakura and afterwards he killed her baby.

"I know you're angry that he killed your sister but..."

"Sasuke...killed your sister?" Sakura looked at him. She didn't know what to say, but in the end decided that if the accusations were off there was no need to hold everything for herself. "Yes." she replied. "Sasuke was the one who killed my sister and..."

"Your baby." said Itachi and Ino froze.

"B-Baby? Sakura...you had a baby? And Sasuke killed him?" She looked at Sakura.

"Yes." she replied. "What proof do you have?" Ino was crying now. She knew she didn't have any right to be angry at her.

"I'll tell you everything. Meet me tomorrow at the hill to the nord-west from here. Tomorrow this hour you'll know everything." Sakura assured Ino. She had the right to know.

"Sakura...If you don't come...I swear...I'll find you myself and I will kill you." replied Ino and left with Anko.

____________________________________________________________

"Sakura..." Itachi tried to speak to her.

"Since when are we so good friends that you can call me by my first name Uchiha?" asked Sakura.

"Stop trying to seem strong cause you're not. You're just a woman Sakura." He looked her in the eyes while her grabbed her arm.

"You have the right to hate my brother. He did something unforgivable, true. But stop trying to be strong cause all you do is show people how cold you are. Just stop running away from yourself."

"Run away? You're not the one to tell me this when you left your own village and your little brother and killed your family when you could have talked with him. Did you ever think that he could have changed Uchihas' minds? Did you ever think to open up to him and solve that problem together?" She pulled her arm from his grasp. "I know everything about that incident Itachi Uchiha. The one who ran away was you forcing your brother to hate and seek revenge. He felt lonely and the only thing he thought was how he could get power and revenge on you." Itachi's mind rethought everything that happened the night when he left the village.

"Don't talk to me about running away when you were the one to run away from yourself. I hate you because...You didn't know how to appreciate the relationship you had with him. He was looking at you Itachi." Sakura was crying now looking at him intensely.

"Why are you talking like you care about him? It's as if you never really hated him because he didn't like you back."

"You don't know a thing. But you will soon find out the truth. I wish everything was so simple from the very begining."
