SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 8: Heartbreak Hotel

She always knew it wouldn’t be easy, loving Sasuke Uchiha
never was. But Sakura hoped, foolishly hoped the universe would give them a well-deserved
break.

They’ve been through a lot, and for once in her life she
craved the uneventful life of civilians. A life without dangers, without world
shattering responsibilities, where their biggest problem would be Sasuke
forgetting items off the shopping list or Sakura leaving her medical books
scattered all over the house.

But, no. Soon after they’ve been deluded into thinking they’d
get some peace, that they would finally get to be like a normal couple the
ninja world tears them apart again.

I need you out there,
Sasuke. As Hokage I have to stay here, but you have to be my eyes out there.
She had wanted to go with him, they had just started their lives together. You can’t Sakura, we need you here in the
hospital, you’re our best medic. They argued, but Naruto wouldn’t relent
having finally learned to put the village first.

So they lived their lives in little moments away from the
world.

This time she met him in a small in on a silent village on
the outskirts of the Fire Country. She hid beneath a hood gave the clerk his
fake name and was given direction to his room. Two knocks and she was let
inside.

She shed her disguise slowly and turned to look at her
husband who sat in the corner of the bed observing her. There was a small smile
on his lips as he stood and took her into his arms his lips meeting hers in a
quick kiss.

“I’ve missed you.” He murmured his lips against her cheek
then. I’ve missed you too, so much.
But she was tired of saying it, tired of it being one of the few words said
between them before they were forced to part again.

This time she had other plans in mind, she had another
purpose. “I’m pregnant.” She blurted out and he paused his roaming hands and
leaned back to look at her. His eyes held both excitement and fear, he didn’t
have to say anything for her to understand.

She saw as a dozen possibilities flashed across his eyes; he
could leave everything, they could run, their child would not grow up without
its parents.

“I’m not going back.” She told him, she had already decided.
Naruto would have to drag her back, probably would.
