1. I WANT THE KIDS

His back hurt from that stupid couch in his office. He was used in his king size comfy bed with the soft mattress and flowes scented pillows,so the past two days were a torture for him. The black leather couch was slowly killing him, but he refused to return home or go to a hotel and have all the employees there laugh at him like everyone he knew did for the past two days.

The sun slowly came out and Sasuke realized that he hadn't slept at all and he wasn't going to anyway. He stood up and went to his private coffee machine for a strong black coffee. He still had two hours until everyone came to work and nothing to do. In the enormous wooden desk he saw all the pictures that she had chosen for the desk of the CEO. His parents and Itachi smiled at him from a silver frame. His five little angels looked at him from another one, but he couldn't look bach at them. He hadn't called since he left home because he didn't know what to say. They would miss him very much by now.

The last picture caused him even more pain. It showed him in a black tux smiling while holding her in her stunning wedding gown. Sasuke grabbed the picture and threw her in the bin with so much force that the glass became shivers. He ignored the noise and reached for his phone to call the only person that could help him.

The phone rang for quite some time and Sasuke became impatient. At last the phone was answered by a very angry sleepy voice. "Who the hell is it?"

"Neji, wake up! It's Sasuke!"

A loud grund was heard and Sasuke knew that Neji was regretting that he became his lawyer. "What the fuck? It's 6 in the morning! Couldn't you wait until 9?"

"I want a divorce, Neji." His lawyer Hyuuga Neji was also a very close childhood friend and he only sighed. His problem was that he was also her friend and he didn't really want to get involved.

"I thought that you were going to think this through and calm down first..."

"Calm down? CALM DOWN? If you don't want to be my lawyer, I'll just hire someone else, Neji!" And Sasuke hang up the phone with too much force. He couldn't calm down and he had every right to be mad.

He slowly opened his top drawer and took out a crumbled newspaper from Sunday, two days ago. There was no reason for him to read it; he had already memorized the article he was looking for.

"How I cheated on my husband Uchiha Sasuke" by Haruno Sakura

No need to read it again. It described with disturbing details how she had sex with a 20-years-old male model in Sasuke's favorite car. His beloved Porsche was now on its way to becoming scrap metal so that he wouldn't have to see it again. He would like to send her to the trouser, too. Sasuke thought that the anger would go away as the days passed, but he was wrong.

The whole country was laughing at him. She published the story at the Sunday sheet of the most popular newspaper in the country! Did she think straight at all? Even their children read that paper sometimes. She had made him the laughing stock of the whole country and he would make her pay for that.

Her pillow was wet again. She reached for another one but all of them were wet. She had spent the night crying quietly in her bed, just like the past two nights. The empty bed was a constant reminder of her situation and she couldn't even lay her eyes on it. He was gone.

She stood up and rushed out of the bedroom. The cold hallway didn't offer any consolation so she walked towards the children's bedrooms. He opened her youngest son's door and sighed relieved as she saw the small body sleeping safe and calm in his bed. The she reached the twins's bedroom. The 'stop' sign in front of the teenage room made made her chuckle and then she tripped in a guitar on the floor. She had to make them clean the room. The two boys were asleep in their beds and didn't wake up. Sakura mantled them and left for the girl's side of the house. Her little one was nice and comfy in her girly pink room, but what she saw in her elder daughter's room ruined her mood. The bed was empty, but next to the pillow Sakura found the Sunday paper.

You'll understand when you fall in love for the first time.

She was worried for her daughter, but she still couldn't feel regret. The only thing she felt was anger. For so many years she had lived with a man that had absolutely no feelings for her. He barely talked to her or even paid attention to what she said. He only touched her when he was horny or he wanted another heir for the family. When they got married Sakura was sixteen like her daughter was now and she knew she was being used to give birth, but she was so much in love that he didn't care. Now she needed more.

For him only two things existed: his children and his job. Did he know her favorite color, what food she likes? Did he ever remembered an anniversary or asked how she felt? Did he ever said that he loved her? Now she had cheated on him and the only thing he cared about was his reputation! If nobody knew, he wouldn't even care that his wife slept with someone else. He deserved to have the whole world lauging at him.

She heard steps downstairs and saw that her watch showed 6 o'clock. She grabbed a heavy candle holder in case it was him and ran downstairs. She opened the living room light and came face to face with her sixteen year old daughter, who was snicking in the house. As expected, the face of the girl as she saw her mother changed, and Sakura saw clearly a face of contempt, that made the girl resemble her father even more.

"Care to explain where you've been, Minori?" The girl didn't even blink and started to climb the stairs until her mother's arm stopped her. "Do you know what time is it?"

The girl turned her head away and Sakura knew that she was the one in trouble. "Is my father back? He is the only one that has the right to ask questions." Minori was angry at her and she had every right to, so Sakura decided that this wasn't the time to be strict.

"Well, your mother is also worried! You could have called me..."

"I called dad, but he wouldn't talk to me! Where is he?" She was still avoiding Sakura's eyes, but she was quickly losing her nerve. Minori had always been like that. She pretended that she was strong and uncaring like her father, but she truly needed fondling and attention. Sakura hugged the girl from behind and caressed her hair. The girl didn't even try to escape.

"I'm sure your father will contact you when he is ready! Now go to sleep. It's a school night and..."

"School?" Well, Minori was sensitive, but if she got angry, nobody was safe from her tongue. "You think that we will continue our lives like nothing happened after what you did to dad? You betrayed the whole family, not just dad! Takashi and Daichi already know what you did! They are thirteen and their classmates laugh at them because their mother fucked..."

"MINORI!" That's enough! You are sixteen and you can't have an opinion about my marriage or actions! Go to your bed!" In sixteen years Minori had never seen her mother yelling or even talking angrily to her or her siblings. That made her understand that Sakura was at her limit and she couldn't handle any more judgement. But she was still a true Uchiha and she totally had to say the last word.

"I'm staying with dad."

The bell rang again and again until Tenten had no other option but to get up. Her alarm clock showed 7 o'clock and she hadn't fell asleep before 3, so she was ready to kill painfully whoever was in her doorstep, until she saw Sakura's red eyes and runny nose. The moment she opened the door she forgot all about her sleep.

"I want a divorce." Sakura rushed in and sat on Tenten's couch, which was covered by tons of papers and folders. Tenten liked to bring work home. Her career as a lawyer was quite successful and she had more clients than she could handle. As a result she was always unkempt and sleazy. She never had personal life and her occasional boyfriends were used only for sex.

Somehow Tenten had managed to keep all her friends from High School and now Sakura needed her. "Are you sure? You've only spent two days without him... Maybe if you miss him..." Sakura burst into tears again and used a case file to wipe her tears and nose.

"Look at what I've done just to hurt him! Minori and the twins already know about the article and they suffer because of me! What if my little babies hear about it, too? How am I going to explain what I did to an eight and a six-year-old? I can't lose my babies, Tenten!" Sakura sounded so desperate that, eventhough Tenten liked Sasuke, she felt that he deserved what he got.

"Sakura, the court gives the children to the mother most of the times..."

"But Sasuke is richer and more powerfull than me! And he has proof that I cheated on him!" Tenten believed that the article was too much and somehow felt sorry for Sasuke, but she knew very well that it was Sakura's last desperate method to learn whether Sasuke loved her at all and punish him for his coldness. She decided though not to judge Sakura for her behavior.

"Well, the article is a problem, but you've been an exceptional mother for sixteen years and he is a cold workaholic! We will definately win the case, but I don't think that Sasuke would ever try to seperate his children from their mother no matter what happened between you two!"

"A good mother would never publish such details of her sex life in a paper! Can you imagine how the children felt when they read that article? The judge won't let such a woman have custody of five kids, right?" Neji sighed and accepted the fact that he would go on a trial against one of his closest friends. He had always liked Sakura, but if he had a wife and he read on a paped how a model fucked her in his own car, he would probably kill her with his bare hands. He still couldn't believe that Sakura had done that.

"We have evidence, but she is the mother! And I can't go in a trial and make Sakura sound like a slut who doesn't care about her children!" Sasuke had been satisfied when Neji showed up in his office door and said that he was going to be his lawyer, but now he started to think that he needed to hire someone more determined to win.

"Neji, I won't lose my children because Sakura happens to like 20-years-old models better than her husband! I want the children in my own house when the trial is over and you'd better finding a way to make that happen!"

"The three elder kids can choose themselves since they're over twelve years old. The little ones according to the law need their mother if she is capable of raising them. The fact that she cheated on you doesn't make her a bad mother, but the article gives us a chance." Sasuke didn't want to make the children choose him over their mother, even though he was sure that at least Minori would prefer him. Eight-year-old Anna and six-year-old Kaito weren't old enough to understand fully the situation, but their father couldn't let them go with Sakura and he knew exactly what button to press to make Neji take the case seriously.

"If you don't want to defeat Sakura, you have to tell me, Neji! I have to hire someone aggressive, because you know that Sakura's lawyer will do anything to win the case and she is very skilled..."

"Skilled?" Sasuke sat back in his desk chair feeling relieved. He knew that Neji would do his best and more to win the case for him and bring him full custody of his children.

Even since preschool there had been a stupid rivalry between Neji and Tenten that only got worse as they grew up. For their frieds that was very amusing, but to them it was serious and they had spent have their lives making eah other miserable. They happened to like exactly the same stuff and the could make a competion out of everything! Since they were both lawyers it gave them great pleasure to face each other in court. They even kept a score and used all kind of methods against each other. For many years all the gang believed that they were made for each other, but since more that thirty years had passed, they had given up on them and let them fight freely everytime all the old friends came together.

I won't give you my kids, Sakura...
