They are currently opened for commissions also so if you are interested in commissioning them be sure to DM them on Twitter here😊 Hope you enjoy the snippet
SasuSaku Month Day 2: From Me to You
Sasuke couldn’t stand watching the scene in front of him, of this guy lying, being so smug and acting way too friendly to his teammate. Who did he think he was? This guy was nothing more than a stranger taking advantage of her losing her memory.
If Sakura still remembered them, more specifically -him- there was no way she would entertain this loser.
But of course, what else did he expect? Naruto mentioned that Sakura had more admirers now, and with no memories of who she was or her feelings of him then it wasn’t surprising that men would want to take advantage of the situation. They knew they wouldn’t stand a chance with him, Sakura was always upfront and honest with her feelings.
And he couldn’t do anything about it.
“You know this wouldn’t be happening if you were honest about your own feelings for her.” Sasuke had almost forgotten his teammates were standing next to him. What a sight this must be.
It wasn’t planned, but as they were close by Sasuke thought about visiting his other teammates and Sakura was more than intrigued wanting to meet them. She has, she knew them vaguely enough and got along well with them but to this Sakura it would be her ‘first time.’ And she was curious on wanting to meet more of ‘Sasuke-Kun’s friends.’
How could he say no?
Sasuke was grateful for Orochimaru not being there, if there was a chance for Sakura to regain her memories, he didn’t want the first one to be the moment in the Forest of Death of them having a near death experience and having to explain everything that’s happened since then.
Unfortunately for him, team taka had decided to join them on their journey. For a bit they said.
We only want to help.
Yeah, more like they were nosey and wanted to watch him make a fool of himself. Perhaps he was being too harsh, although that was partly true, they did seem concerned and confused as to why Sakura had re-introduce herself to them. As if she and Naruto hadn’t forced all of them on dinners together as a team to get to know one another.
“Suigetsu…” Jugo gave a low warning.
“What? It’s true, how can you be jealous when you won’t even be honest with your own feelings towards her?” Sasuke said nothing, still keeping an eye on the guy making sure he wasn’t trying anything funny, but he was listening.
“What if I tell her on your behalf, then we wouldn’t have to-” He was cut off when Karin smacked him on the head causing a splash. “Idiot, you can’t confess on someone else’s behalf.”
“Oh, and you and Jugo are now love experts?”
“More than you that’s for sure.” Karin mumbled.
But he was right, what gave him the right to be angry and jealous after everything, he did to her? Not to mention this wasn’t the right time to confess.
For Sakura, leaving the village was a weight off her shoulders. Everyone wanted her to remember that it got too much and overbearing, she needed a break. Sasuke had made a promise to her that next time she could travel with him and that’s what he offered.
Naruto saw it as a perfect opportunity for the two of them to get close again so who was he to turn down such a ‘brilliant idea.’ But that’s not what this was for, he wasn’t doing this for his own selfish reasons but for Sakura.
Confessing and forcing her to remember anything wasn’t a priority.
Unless she was the one with questions.
As if feeling Sasuke’s eyes on him the man gave him a smirk putting an arm around the girl pulling her closer. Way too close for his liking.
Sasuke could swear he activated his sharingan and was about to march over there to give him a piece of his mind. Before Jugo brought him back to his senses and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder stopping him from doing something he’ll regret.
“Don’t let him rile you up, otherwise you’ll scare Sakura-San.”
“Just say the word, I can take him out.”
“I’m sure I can slip some poison when he’s not looking.” Both Suigetsu and Karin offered their solutions.
“Don’t give him ideas.” Jugo sweat dropped.
Was he the only one thinking rationally and trying not to cause a scene.
“The poison idea sounds good.” It wouldn’t kill him, but they could probably give him a bad case of diarrhoea. Karin smirked at Suigetsu when her idea was chosen.
“Peh, taking all the fun.”
And just as quickly as they interacted Sakura turned her head seeing Sasuke and his team smiling away. Completely ignoring and not even excusing herself, Sakura ran over to them basket in hand full of tomatoes.
“Here you go Sasuke-Kun,” he tilted his head confused as to why she brought him that. It didn’t help that his three teammates were also staring.
Suddenly feeling so self-conscious having not only one but four people looking at her so intensely Sakura explained.
“Oh, um Naruto mentioned that you liked tomatoes. I vaguely recalled having a recipe with them, I don’t really remember what it was for but wanted to make something special as a thank you for everything you’ve done for me up till now.”
“Kato-San was helping me find the ingredients. It was meant to be a surprise but then he got too… clingy. It was weird and-”
Sasuke merely tuned out the rest of her words, never mind the fact that she was only with this ‘Kato’ guy for him but he had recalled a similar time to where Sakura took off at one point during their mission to find some ripe tomatoes so she could make something for him for his Birthday.
It seems regardless of whether or not she had her memories she was still the same.
“Ah, thank you.” Sasuke smile warmly causing her cheeks to flush.
At hearing a cough from Suigetsu breaking their little moment Sasuke tsked taking her hand in his pulling them away. He made sure to give a well revenge satisfying smirk to the other guy who was left dumbfounded with the way she left him there. She was caught off guard feeling her heartbeat quicken to how casual and normal it was for him to grab and hold her hand like that.
The three followed not long after.
“I still think we should poison him.” Suigetsu remarked.
“I think so too.” Karin agreed.
“I never said we weren’t going to.” Jugo sighed.
“Poison who? What are you three up to?” At least Sakura was understanding and knew well enough to not include him in this scheme.
Juubisuke
Juubisuke questioning his reason for existing. He knows what his goal is or rather who his target is. Sarada Uchiha. But also can't help but feel all these complicated emotions. Which shouldn't be happening as far as he's aware. There was something irking him, something that didn’t sit right. Perhaps because it was the memories and feelings of what the real Uchiha Sasuke was feeling. But even then, this shouldn’t be happening. He was his clone sure but should be without emotion.
These memoires, these bonds… they shouldn’t matter to him. He can feel Sasuke's emotions and see his memories. Some particular ones come to mind. Of Jiji stating that a husband and wife shouldn't be apart and Sasuke wishing he could stay with his family. And so he has his own goals. To capture the two, Sarada and Sakura Uchiha. Even if it goes against their original goal.
Selfishly, in his mind if they were cloned then he can have his own family and maybe that will stop all these conflicted feelings. But who’s to say, maybe they will thank him for they could also be with their Sasuke.
“Where are you going?” Matsuri asked. “Out,” he didn’t elaborate, and knew none of them would try to stop him.
~~~
It was late by the time he got to Konoha, probably for the better. Despite never setting a foot inside the village his feet dragged him to an all too familiar setting. As if he’s been here countless times. He can picture the scene, of Sasuke’s wife welcoming him home with a light blush on her cheeks, the Uchiha certainly notices every small detail. And Sasuke’s daughter, his target, grinning away asking if they could train the next day. The lights were on, and door unlocked, most likely Sarada wasn’t home. “About time you got back. What time do you call this?” Sakura halted seeing the strange man before her. A man that certainly wasn’t her daughter. “Wait your not-” At first glance Sakura’s heart skipped a beat, this man looked so much like Sasuke, but it was clear he was not, and she feared for the reason why. Sakura knew Sasuke went ‘rouge’ again for their daughter’s sake. There was so much she didn’t understand but she trusts Sarada. However, with the enemy here did that mean something happened. Was he there to kill her?
“Hidari,” at the questioning look he repeated. “My name is Hidari.” “Right…” At least that was a bit of useful information. This Sakura wasn’t the usual one he could see in Sasuke’s memories but that was to be expected. Yet something churned in his stomach, a feeling he couldn’t quite place and felt disturbed about. He had hoped coming here would solve everything and quench his curiosity but now he had more questions. And the look of uneasiness and trust she was sending didn’t help either. She was a strong kunoichi, that much he was aware of so had to be cautious. “Why are you always on his mind?” She remained silent. “I see you, you, and your daughter. He’s always thinking about you non-stop. I don’t understand why.” What was there for him to understand? Hidari wasn’t human and would never be able to understand the complicated emotions of Sasuke. Yet the word of what he was feeling was on the tip of his tongue, something even Sasuke had experience. Did you give me this ring to scare off other guys? Jealousy? Could that be it?
“I don’t know who you are or what you’re talking about. But if you think I’m going to let you lay a hand on my daughter your mistaken.” Sakura cracked her knuckles smirking; whatever his plan was she wouldn’t let him get away. Our daughter. His mind wanted to say. No this was Sasuke’s daughter, yet he still couldn’t help but be amused. It was no wonder the Uchiha had such an interest in her.
Hidari will take her with him, he’ll convince them that cloning her will make it easier to target Uchiha Sarada. And then if they cloned her, perhaps having his own ‘family’ will get rid of this jealousy.
Noted With Thanks
He doesn't get her.
The way she was giggling at his lame pick up lines. He had better. The fact she accepted his rose, didn't he give her one like that yesterday only for her to throw it in the trash?
And how she was giggling acting all flustered and blushing. She wasn't really taking an interest in him, was she?
"What makes him so special?" Itachi and Shisui stopped mid conversation following his gaze. Ah so that was what was making the youngest Uchiha pissed.
The new doctor taking his teammate out. Apparently he was quite the flirt like Sasuke, no wonder he seemed so annoyed.
Well it may be a date, it may not be.
It wasn't any of their business.
"Maybe he flirts better than you?" Shisui shrugged with a smug smile enjoying his torment. "And who knows, he might actually be interested in her."
This caused Sasuke to glare at the man, they knew how serious he was about her.
So it was okay for this guy to flirt around and he can get a date. But if he does it, he gets a punch to the face? How unfair was that?
"You should ask him how he does it, then who knows you might actually get somewhere with Sakura." Itachi scolded Shisui because knowing his brother, he might actually do that.
And sure enough he did, as Shisui found a little note thanking him for the idea.
This wasn't the first time Shisui gave a dumb idea to Sasuke (without meaning to) nor would it be the last.
And as for the plan succeeding... let's not go there.
SasuSaku Month Day 1: Start of Everything
A little giggle could be heard followed by the little pitter patters of her feet. He should have known with the memories of how devious and quickly she ran. Always running about wanting to play and explore. Hide and seek was her favourite game.
As quickly as she was in the house, she ran outside but he wasn’t concerned knowing exactly where she would be. Always curious.
“What have I told you about coming here?” He says it time and time again, but he doubts she’ll listen. Still, she didn’t need to know anything… yet.
“Papa, who’s she?” Said little one pointed to a tree, this was the first she asked a question about her. Normally she would stay admiring and in awe of how it looked, it was normal for her as there were so many trees like it but this one in particular always captured her attention and he knew why.
“I’ll tell you once your older.” When she was able to fully understand. “Why don’t you go and find your Mama.”
“Okay.” She didn’t doubt him, because Papa always kept his word. When she ran back towards their house, he got a good look at the tree.
Uchiha Sarada, the daughter of Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Sakura.
He had completed his mission and captured her. They weren’t dead but weren’t moving either, Hidari often wondered if perhaps the three of them were in a dream together. Knowing Sasuke’s memories and how strongly he felt for his family he wouldn’t doubt it. This was the best outcome for them, better for them this way than being apart.
That’s what he keeps telling himself and yet a part of him had felt guilty.
“Are you coming Papa?”
Now having his own family, someone important for him to protect and dare he say the word, love? He can say he finally understood Uchiha Sasuke.
“Ah, I’ll be right with you Sarada.”
Till The End With You
“Uwaa Papa’s back, Papa’s back!” Sarada jumped from her seat running towards the front door before Sakura could get a hold of her to stop the little girl. Considering her hands were full with the other little bundle in her arms waking up at the noise. Or maybe he wanted to see Papa too like Sarada.
“Ah Sarada, what have I told you about running inside the house.” Especially as Sasuke hadn’t even set foot inside yet. She could hear the little squeal and her husband telling their daughter to be more careful but his voice was full of tenderness.
“I’m home,” Sasuke came through the living room with a small Sarada clinging to his leg grinning away.
“Welcome home.”
“Ah,” the two were then interrupted by a cry of their youngest as Sachihiro’s small hands reached out to Sasuke wanting his attention. “I’ll take him.”
“But you just got back.”
“I need to do my part in parenting too,” Sakura let out a small grateful smile as Sasuke beckoned Sarada to follow after him so he could tell her all his stories whilst he was travelling.
She adored her little family.
It seemed tonight they would all be sharing a bed as Sarada stated, since Papa was back this was his way of making it up to them. The two didn’t mind and it wasn’t long before Sarada fell asleep, her arm protecting Sachihiro. They let out little sighs and snores.
“They really missed you dear.”
“Ah,” he nodded thinking. Was this really their best option? “Do you regret anything?” His question took her off guard as to what he was implying.
“Regret what?”
“Living here, staying here with me… it might be easier to raise them in Konoha.” That way they would have plenty of people to keep an eye on them and babysit. And whilst that may be true she thought of her children first. This village was safe and small and easy for Sasuke to get to and back.
If they lived here instead of in Konoha, he could help raise and watch their children grow. What was there to regret?
“Of course not, I mean these two are a handful but if living here means they get to be with you. Then I couldn’t be happier.” And me as well, were words left unsaid but her husband knew. Besides, it wasn’t as though they never visited Konoha. They just had to be careful.
Sakura reached out her hand to take Sasuke’s.
“As long as we’re with you, that’s all that matters right?” Sarada let out another snore before turning, her little hand whacking against Sasuke's cheek in the process making Sakura giggle.
Almost as if she knew they were talking.
“We’ll stay with you till the end.”
“So, do you plan on bringing a fourth kid into the family?” It was meant as a joke but Sasuke almost spat out his drink having to move Sarada on his lap encase it spilled on her. She didn’t pay any mind and continued to happily baby babble to Boruto.
“Your joking, right?” And here he thought Naruto was starting to act mature suggesting to meet up at the park rather than his usual ramen stand. He even insisted on bringing the kids along for them to also bond, his older twins Satomi and Saori were playing in the flowers still in sight since they knew not to go off to far whilst the four of them sat on the bench.
This wasn’t the type of conversation he imagined.
“Well, it’s not like you have to have them right now. I’m just curious if you and Sakura-Chan talked about it.” Not really, talking about more kids didn’t seem necessary when Sarada herself couldn’t speak yet and the twins were still young needing all their attention.
“Where is this coming from?” At first Naruto seemed to hesitate to reply, almost embarrassed which wasn’t like him at all.
“Me and Hinata were talking last night, and we decided that once Boruto’s old enough we might try for another. I mean seeing your older two act with Sarada got me thinking that I didn’t want Boruto to be an only child. And I’m sure he’ll be a great older brother too.”
Ah, that made sense.
“So, you wanting another kid means we must? Do you not remember Sakura giving birth to twins?”
“Hey! I’m fully aware, I was only curious since I’m sure Sakura-Chan would love to have a kid that isn’t a copy and paste of you.”
Touché. He smirked rolling his eyes.
“Very funny.” The two were then interrupted when he felt a light tug on his sleeve to see his two daughters with flower crowns.
“Papa, Papa, look, we made flower crowns for Sawada and Bowuto.” They smiled, Satomi put one on Sarada and she clapped delighted whilst Saori put hers on Boruto who only blinked seemingly confused at what was on his head.
He then made a little fuss not liking it.
“Aww, I think it looks cute buddy.” Although cute was probably not the look Boruto was going for. Naruto then turned his attention to the girls asking them questions.
Sasuke couldn’t help but smile fondly at his daughters talking animatedly. Yes, he was perfectly content with his little family and if they did end up having another baby in the future, he has no doubt they’ll be loved and taken care of just as much.
The twins were planned, or at least one of them was.
When Sakura first told him the news, full of excitement and glee it wasn’t long until the rest of his family found out and they even had a small celebration for them.
And then she found out they were having twins. Embarrassingly Sasuke had fainted on the spot after hearing this, not his finest hour he’ll admit. It was one thing expecting a baby on their first but twins. She was so small, and whilst he had no doubt his wife could take care of herself Sasuke had refused to take any missions until the two were delivered safety. Even with his mother insisting that they would take care of her or his in laws. Sasuke didn’t like the idea of leaving Sakura alone knowing she was carrying not one but two of their babies.
Sarada on the other hand wasn’t planned but after the first two, they were more confident in what they were doing. He felt more at ease on taking missions and leaving her by herself. But he still made sure to ask his or Sakura’s parents to take care/keep an eye on her. Sakura was also excited since Naruto and Hinata were expecting which meant their little one already had a play date.
The thought of adding another baby… what kind of surprise would they have installed for them.
“What if she ends up on having triplets?” Having triplets would mean there would also be a chance for them to be three girls and whilst Sasuke didn’t care for the gender, the thought of having six (as if three wasn’t enough) girls and having to deal with all the boys, heartbreak…
His stomach turned queasy at the thought.
“Uh, Sasuke you okay? You look kind of pale.”
A Lie
“I want to see Konoha,” Hidari should have expected that, considering she’s stuck with them yet left out in everything that happens it made sense she wanted some familiarity.
“We can’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“Jura said we shouldn’t set a foot in the village until he says so.”
“Oh really? Well Jura told me I could do what I want, so I’m going to Konoha whether you like it or not.” That damned woman. Right before she could walk past him, he grabbed hold of her arm halting her in place.
“Wait, I’ll go with you. I’ve been to Konoha before.” At that she raised a brow. “You have? I thought you said we shouldn’t go because ‘Jura’ says so.” She air quoted with Jura’s name.
“Yeah, well he doesn’t have to know.”
He was quick to change his mind she thought amusedly pulling her arm away from his grip. Although she didn’t understand why he was so loyal to him to begin with, any of them. If she was the same as them then shouldn’t she be too?
“We can’t see Sarada though.” Her face frowned.
“Why not?”
“You think she won’t try anything? The girl lost both her parents now. Just stepping foot in the village and they’ll recognise our chakra.”
“If it’s so dangerous then why did you go?”
Why did he go?
“I went to meet her.” Seeing the confusion on her face Hidari continued.
“His wife, Sakura. Uchiha Sasuke is a… odd man. He loves strongly and no matter what I couldn’t stop seeing his wife and daughter. He loves them dearly but also has a sense of guilt for them too. I got curious so I went to the village.”
“I knew I couldn’t see Sarada, per Jura’s orders for our plan but he didn’t mention Sakura.”
“So, that’s how I got here?” Because he got caught so they had to capture her.
“…”
“Yes.” A lie.
“I didn’t mean for her to spot me, so Jura had no choice but to bring her here.”
You were selfish and wanted what he had to understand him better.
“I guess that’s why he’s not taking a liking to you.” That did explain a bit.
“You could have told me sooner.”
“Ah, I thought you would hate me.” She doubted that was the reason but didn’t say anything, figuring he would tell her the truth on why he hid this from her some other time.
“You’re not anything like her though.” Misaki tilted her head.
“I mean you are but also not, your personality is different from the Sakura in Sasuke’s memories.”
“I wouldn’t think so, I’m not Sakura and you’re not Sasuke.” They weren’t then why did he still want what they had?
“But you still want to go to the village?”
“Yes.”
It was their home.
“Why is she here?” The last thing Jura had expected was for Hidari to bring a Konoha kunoichi to their hideout, Uchiha Sasuke’s wife no less. Even if she was knocked out, if she were to wake up anytime soon it could foil their plans.
“I thought we could use her to help capture Sarada, I’ve seen Sasuke’s memories. And she’s fond of both her parents. She’ll be a much easier target with us both.”
It was the best excuse he had but Jura looked at him with distrust. Somehow, he had managed to convince them, but Misaki would be his responsibility. As long as they captured Sarada though, that was all that mattered.
