Eternally Bound

This is my second SasuSaku fanfic. Probably, a oneshot.

Enjoy...

The war is over, Sasuke came back to Konoha, Naruto became a hero, Kakashi became the sixth Hokage and Sakura was extremely happy.

Today is such a good day. No missions, no more killing and no more fighting. Everything is at peace. A cheerful pink-haired girl walked down the the streets of Konoha in a very very happy mood. Uchiha Sasuke just asked her to meet him in the training grounds. And what a beautiful sunset.

After the war, Uchiha Sasuke moved in the Uchiha Compound and lately, he has taken a liking to his teammate, Sakura. Not in that manner which leads to love or anything in his perspective. The Uchiha is bored. His hatred has been ripped away from him a long time ago. All his dreadful desires and vengenge, he left them when he shedded his blood in the war. They disappeared along with his blood. All he wants to do now is to settle down?

Sasuke was standing on the bridge whre Team 7 usually unites. He saw Sakura running to him. When she reached him, she said, "Gomene, I'm not late, am I?"

"Hn."

"What is it that you want to ask me?"

"Its that I-" Sasuke was unable to finish his sentence as Sakura tripped, lost her grip on the bridge. It broke and she fell in the water.

"Sakura!" Sasuke shouted and jumped into the water as he did not see her resurface.

Sasuke could see her nearly in the bottom of the water. She was conscious and held out her hand. Sasuke grabbed it. At that moment, a fish passed them and then suddenly there was this bright light and an explosion which sent them flying out of the water.

Sakura chocked out, Sasuke panted heavily.

"What was that?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know. I think its nothing to fawn over. Go home for now."

"I'm all wet. You should go home too. Bye." Sakura said and walked a few distances when there was a kind of electric friction that sent her and Sasuke to fly and collide with each other.

"What?" Sasuke rasped out.

"I think we should go to Tsunade."

"Aa"

"What are you doing in my office and why are you all wet?" The retired ex-Hokage said irritatedly.

" Tsunade-sama, we have to tell you something." Sakura spoke.

"Go on."

"So that's what happened? A fish passed by." Tsunade pondered into a deep thought and asked, "Was the fish golden-?"

"And sparkly." Sasuke finished.

"Its quite rare... You see during the time of the first Hokage, this particular fish called the 'golden hana' is found rarely in some waters. They possessed a kind of power that binds a male and a female for life. They can do extraordinary things. They rarely come out during my time so they were considered to be extinct." "It bonded you."

"What?" Sasuke and Sakura said at the same time.

"It bonded you. You can stay just a minimum of 7 feet from each other. Some people in the past who encountered this fish had no choice but to marry. Lucky for you, I can make the effects wear off in a week. But there could be a big problem."

"What is it, Tsunade-sama?"

"Sakura, there's a possibility of you getting pregnant." At this, Sasuke widened his eyes. Sakura's jaw dropped to the ground.

"You can't be serious, but how? I'm only 18. So is Sasuke." Sakura asked while Sasuke intently listened on.

"When it bonded you. You two kind of fused together for sometime. That's when it could have happened. The fusion resulted in you getting pregnant. Let me check."

Tsunade placed her hand on Sakura's belly. She widened her eyes and frowned. "You are no doubt... pregnant."

Sakura wanted to cry.

"Let the effects wear off in a week." Sasuke said to Tsunade. He then grabbed Sakura and went out of her office. Tsunade was left there muttering a 'poor Sakura' and a curse word to the Uchiha. How dare he impregnate her most prized apprentice.

Sasuke told Sakura to come to the Uchiha Compound and they were currently walking there. Sakura really was going to cry. Sasuke walked with Sakura trailing behind. He couldn't believe it. A baby is growing inside Sakura, his baby.

"Sakura."

"Yes, Sasuke-kun?"

"Marry me."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"Is it because of the baby?" Sakura asked a little disappointed.

"Yeah and you."

"Heh?" Sakura gaped in disbelief.

"Come on." Sasuke held Sakura's hand to which she blushed a deep read. "I need your answer, Sakura."

"Oh, its a yes." She smiled at him although a little doubtful.

They reached Sasuke's house. "Sakura, you're still wet. Its not good for either of you."

"But my clothes-"

"Wear one of mine. Let's make the arrangements tomorrow. Its already seven thirty." Then, in a swift moment, he captured her lips. Sakura was surprised at first but then responded to the kiss which lasted for 15 seconds.

"Sasuke-kun, what was that you wanted to tell me earlier?"

"Hn, its no longer important."

"Me getting pregnant (sigh). That's not how my pregnancy was supposed to be."

"Sakura, why the regret. That's not the only baby we'll have. If you're so restless, then-"

"Sasuke-kun! That's not what I mean at all!"

"I can't hear you, what was that?" Sasuke said and walked away to get a glass of water.

"Don't do that, Sasuke-kun."

"Whaaaaat?"

"Sasuke-kun, you baka, I wanted to say I love you." Sakura muttered to herself.

"Love you too." Sasuke said back. "Sakura, get dressed and make our bed."

That's when a wet Sakura was left there, her jaws dropping to the ground. She just can't imagine how Naruto will react to all this tomorrow.
