Chapter 3

The Secret is Out

 

Sakura pushed her cart along as she glanced at the various items on the shelf. She was grocery shopping. Kakashi and her's cabinets were completely empty after their short vacation from their jobs.

 

Kakashi was currently on a mission. He had been put back on active duty two days ago. He was scheduled to arrive back home today. Sakura caressed her stomach lovingly with a smile on her glowing face. Ever since she had known about their baby Sakura had realized that a baby was what she needed in her life. As a child she had always dreamed of having a child, mostly her dreams were centered on Sasuke being the father. But ever since Kakashi had came into her life she knew there was no other for her. She loved Kakashi, irrevocably and obsessively.

 

Sakura left the store thirty minutes later, laden down with two bags on each arm. She began thinking about the future and what it would be like having her a child of her own. She would still work at the hospital, but only when either Kakashi was home or someone she trusted was around to watch the baby. Sakura was secretly hoping it was a girl, though she wouldn't mind at all if it was a boy.

 

As Sakura turned a corner she stopped as she heard Kakashi's name and the word mission in a sentence together. Ahead of her a little ways were Genma and Anko talking in hushed tones. Sakura pulled back against the wall, gripping her bags tightly. She quickly formed seals, heightening her hearing so she would be able to hear the two.

 

“Sakura-san will be devastated when she hears the news,” Anko said with arms crossed over her large bosom.

 

Genma switched his senbon to the other side of his mouth. “It can't be helped. Kakashi is the only one capable of being captain on this mission. Jiriaya is off on another mission.”

 

Anko sighed. “Has Kakashi even told his wife yet?”

 

Genma shrugged. “I doubt it. That stubborn man doesn't want to worry Sakura more than he has too. He probably hasn't even told her about being ANBU yet.”

 

“Perhaps. But I still think she should know about Kakashi going on a possible suicide mission.”

 

Sakura dispelled her jutsu while simultaneously dropping her bags. Glass shattered as the contents spilled. Sakura jumped to the rooftops, disappearing out of sight as Genma and Anko came to the scene. Anko bent down next to the spilt items and picked up a pink hair. The two special Jounin shared a look of horror with each other.

 

Sakura jumped over the tiled rooftops, her mind numbed from what she had just learned. How could Kakashi keep such a secret from her? He knew that she didn't like to be in the dark of things! How could he do something like this to her when they had just learned about their baby? Sakura skidded to a halt as she came to her destination. She looked up with surprise to find herself in front of Sasuke's home.

 

Without bothering to knock Sakura barged into the mansion. Sasuke who had felt her rampant chakra immediately met her. Sakura ran towards him and threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

 

Sasuke held her as she cried. He didn't know what she was upset about, but he had a feeling it had something to do with Kakashi, or else she wouldn't have come to him. When her tears subsided Sasuke silently led her into his living room. He pushed her towards a chair as he took the one across from her.

 

Sasuke leaned back in his chair. “What happened?”

Sakura looked up with red-rimmed eyes and immediately began telling what she had learned. Sasuke remained silent throughout her story. “Why didn't he tell me? He knew how much this would affect me and he still kept me from it! I thought he loved me!”

 

Sasuke sighed. “He does.”

 

Sakura looked up in surprise. “How do you know?”

 

Sasuke rubbed his temples where a headache had begun. “He wouldn't have married you if he didn't love you. Kakashi has gone on missions like this before. What's really the matter?”

 

Sakura caught her bottom lip between her teeth to stop it from trembling. “He might get killed,” she whispered. “Our baby won't have a father and…and I'll lose him.” Tears began to flow down her cheeks once again.

 

Sasuke stood up from his chair with a sigh before he crouched down in front of Sakura. He gripped her knees to get her attention. “Kakashi is the third best ranked ninja in the village. He won't be killed so easily.”

 

A crash startled both of them. They simultaneously turned their heads to be met with a furious Kakashi. He strolled forward, glaring at Sasuke as he rose and moved out of the way.

 

Kakashi's eyes blazed. “What's happening here?”

 

Sakura jumped to her feet, wiping the tears from her eyes before she turned her face up to see Kakashi. “Why didn't you tell me, you bastard!”

 

Kakashi's eyes widened in confusion. Her words suddenly clicked as Kakashi's anger dissipated. “I was going to tell you…”

 

“When? Admit it. You were going to tell me when you were ready to leave! How could you do something like this again?” Sakura stood with fists clenched at her sides, her eyes flaming dangerously.

 

Kakashi stepped forward, his own temper rising. “It was for your own safety. I was going to tell you before I was even debriefed.” His voice softened. “Sakura…I'm sorry.”

 

Sakura bowed her head in defeat. She knew she wouldn't be able to win an argument with Kakashi. But why did she feel so betrayed?

 

Kakashi took Sakura's arm into his own. He looked over at Sasuke, giving him a nod before he disappeared with Sakura in tow. They arrived back in their living room. Kakashi released Sakura who sat down on their couch, her bangs hiding her expression.

 

Kakashi sat beside her as the silence continued to stretch. Sakura turned her head up. Kakashi felt his heart twisting when he saw the hurt and despair in her eyes. “Why didn't you tell me?”

 

Kakashi sighed softly. “It was classified and I didn't want you to get upset until I had to tell you. You were going to be assigned to this mission, but since you're carrying our child…”

 

Sakura nodded. “But still, Kakashi. You hurt me. You hurt me really bad.” Tears gathered in her eyes and streamed down her face again.

 

Kakashi pulled Sakura into his arms as she released her sorrow. He held her and cooed soothing words to her until she calmed down. He rested his chin atop her head when she had quieted. “I'm sorry. I should have learned the first time.” He tilted her face up with a finger under her chin. “I promise you that I will never keep anything from you again. I love you too much for you to be hurt like this. I just didn't…I didn't want you to feel the same pain I felt when Obito and Rin died. Can you understand that?”

 

Sakura nodded as she sniffled. “I think so. I'm sorry for doubting you.”

 

Kakashi smiled before he kissed Sakura softly on the lips.

 

When Kakashi moved back Sakura looked up with hopeful eyes. “If you talk with Tsunade-sama then do you think she'll not put you on this mission?”

Kakashi sighed as he pulled Sakura closer to him. “It's doubtful. But I'll try in the morning.”

 

 

I know, I know. This was a short one. But I'm finally returning to this story. XD I just finished a story for a friend and now I'm starting this one back up. I've got my outline written and I plan on having 15 chapters to this sequel to Unexpected Love.

 

I admit that when I started this fic it was sort of boring. But now that I've thrown in some drama and action I think I'll be able to finish it without dying from boredom. I hope everyone enjoyed this. I plan on doing a chapter a day, more if I find the time.

 

Please comment! XD
