CW: Slight Angst

~~~

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. 

The way she kissed her husband's cheek lovingly before he went off to work and drove her -their- daughter Sarada to school.

What the hell was this? She was top of the class and had a reputation to uphold.

She couldn't marry him.

She wakes up and is certain that it was all just a dream, nothing more. Well, it's not like she had anything to worry about considering they’ve never spoken to each other before.

Except she finds it difficult to concentrate in school the next day and would find herself staring at him on occasion.

It's just a dream Sakura, your overthinking.

It doesn't help that she hears and sees things that link to the dream 

"I like the name Sarada."

Sakura stiffens not able to help herself overhearing. Why were they talking about names for their children when they were fourteen?

Sakura excuses herself from her friends going up to his table. She'll just have to take things into her own hands then. 

All the boys stopped talking as she approached confused as to why the goody girl she was would.

"I hate the name Sarada!"

And walked away.

There! Now she ruined all their chances and he probably found it weird that she randomly went to their table like this. 

If Sakura kept doing things like this, Sasuke Uchiha would never look her way.

It was perfect.

Sakura mentally patted herself on the back well done for the idea as she sat back at the lunch table her friends were at. 

They were looking at her weirdly but she was too pleased with herself to care.

"Uh, what was that about?" Naruto finally asked looking at Sasuke. He just shrugged and they continued on their discussion of their fictional future children's names. 

Except what Sakura didn't know was that every little action of trying to put Sasuke off her to change their future only made him interested in her more. 

Like just imagine how chaotic Sakura would be 😭 Going around doing anything to stop Sasuke from being interested in her.

She knows he smokes up on the school's rooftop so she goes up to purposely annoy him, giving lectures about how smoking is bad so that he would hate her. Only for him to be intrigued by her.

She read in the diary about a time Sasuke took her to the nurse's office because she got hit on the face by a football. So she stayed in the class far away from the school's football pitch on the day of a match. 

Only the boys were messing and playing with one in the halls and Suigetsu accidentally kicked in the class and which is how it landed smacked against her face tipping her off the chair.

Sasuke offered to take her to the nurse's office and didn't leave her side missing the match. 

She would purposely go out on her way to snitch on Sasuke, calling him out to the class and in front of the teachers. Because everyone hates snitches but he was completely chill and just found her amusing.

No matter what it always backfired. 

They graduated high school and Sakura thinks that she succeeded because they weren't together and he didn't try to approach her asking for a date.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" A little toddler's voice could be heard along with scattering as she went looking into the boxes for 'evidence'.

"This is a very serious matter, Mr Bunny, you're going to need a loyer."

Mikoto couldn't help but smile at Sarada's mispronunciation while watching her pretending to be a cop. Clearly taking after her father.

"Mikoto," she stiffened at feeling Fugaku's presence.

"We have to tell her." 

"She's just a baby." Her arms instantly wrapped around her body, as if that would somehow fix everything.

"And she's going to be asking questions, especially when they aren't back by Saturday. Sarada deserves to know the truth."

The truth?

About what? 

The fact it was a simple case of wrong place and wrong time.

That an accident occurred and she'll never see her parents again? Would Sarada even understand?

"Grandma, will you be Mr Bunny's loyer? I don't have enough plushies." Sarada's voice broke her thoughts. 

"Of course dear," she gave a fake smile kneeling beside her granddaughter. "Sarada... after this me and your grandfather would like a word." Mikoto's eyes met Fugaku's as if to say

'Just a little longer.'

"You know you can join us, right?" Sakura purred, gripping the Uchiha's chin being sure to purposely let part of her Akatsuki robe slip off and expose her shoulder. He was tied and strapped onto a chair. They had appeared out of nowhere and Sasuke was still trying to process that he just got ambushed by another version of him and his wife. "From what I heard, even in this world you became an Akatsuki member and tried to destroy the village. Why not make that a reality and help us?" Sasuke ripped his chin away from her glaring at this other Sakura.

"I'll pass." He spat venomously. "Don't get so close to him." Another voice was heard, arm sneaking around her waist to pull her away from him. "There's no need to be jealous dear, he doesn't have the same drive of hatred as you. Not exactly an attractive feature in my book." 

The other Sasuke merely growled into her neck. "I still prefer if you didn't try to flirt with him to get him onto our side." "I'm seducing him, what guy wouldn't be lured to join the bad side if they have an attractive woman on their team." Especially considering the fact that both of the Sasuke's were married to a Sakura. It would make sense that she would be able to tempt him easily. "Both of you are the same, I doubt other me is as strong." "Get away from my husband!" There was a stomp and the ground shook from below. 

"Speaking of..." The villain Sakura's eyes gleamed turning to the new intruder. "And what will you do if I don't? We have the same taste, so of course, I'm going to be attracted to him." 

With that, she walked behind the Sasuke tied up and leaned her chest again his head purposely trying to rial up her other self. "I think I'll keep him for myself. I'm sure he would much rather stay with me than a goody-two-shoes like you," she smirked. 

Sakura felt her blood boil. Although, it did feel weird to be jealous of... herself. Well, another version. It was still her face and yet she was so different. "Would you like to find out?" Sakura said in her sweet but deadly voice Sasuke recognised so well anytime Naruto misbehaved.

“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.”
