Legacy of a Senju (Sequel)

Chapter 8 🌙

AN: the reader who made the SasuHaru edit from a couple chaps ago just sent me this! She thought it was cute so why not post it? Remember y'all, send me anything you make of the story and I'd be glad to post it! (She wants to stay anonymous but gives full credit to the original artists of these drawings.)

Now, on with the story!
•••

We decided to take a nights rest first before going out on the pursuit for Gaara, which is definitely a plus for me!

The night of sleep gave me time to heal from yesterday's events. I could honestly say that every ounce of my body is relieved that I'm not pregnant, yesterday absolutely terrified me.

Not only am I too young to be a mother, but the concept of being a mother is so foreign to me. My mother died only a few months after my birth, I never really had a motherly figure in my life after that. Well, that's not considering Mikoto, Sasuke's mother. I remember she would braid my hair a lot whenever I went to her house and sigh about how she always wanted a daughter. Oh how I miss her. .

But back to the point, I don't even know how to take care of myself properly, how the hell would I take care of a baby?

Being pregnant would also mean exposing my past relationship with Sasuke, which is a huge no no in my book. And the worst part of it all, being pregnant means having a kid that would probably live a terrible life.

I pondered about this throughout my relationship with Sasuke when we were still together, I️ would think about our future a lot seeing that the odds of us actually working out were so dim.

If my childhood sucked, not being able to leave the village, I wouldn't want to imagine the childhood of any of my kids if the father were to be Sasuke.

I'm a target? Please, that child would be the biggest target out of everyone. That's when I realized the reasoning behind it being illegal to be with an Uchiha if you are a Senju.

It's not because of the lives that were lost during the warring period of our clans, it's the result of love between members of the clan. Rumor has it that when Uchiha's love someone, they love hard. But that love somehow turns to hate? I'm not sure, one day Hikaru and Hideo were lecturing me about Uchiha's and they said something along the lines of Uchiha's and falling in love.

Hm, Uchiha's love hard, puh-lease. Sasuke's a little prick who obviously never loved me if he let me go in such a dickish wa- I won't get into that.

Plus even if Sasuke were still in the village, the higher ups wouldn't allow us to have a relationship. So we're basically hopeless!

Yet while knowing all these things, I managed to be stupid enough and run along with the relationship. I mean what was I really thinking?

When I come down to the logistics of it, my love for him was forbidden and it will remain forbidden for probably all eternity.

We're both better off with other people, people who don't come from high ranking clans. That is why, I'm officially moving on!

I hope. . .

"Haru can I come in?" A familiar voice asks. "Yeah it's fine Temari!" I yell back after putting on my usual crop top.

The blonde girl walks in and casually sits down on the bed "Are you fine from yesterday?" She asks, watching my every move as I sit down on a chair directly across from the bed.

I smile slightly and nod "I'm fine, girl problems. Is Kankuro doing okay?" I ask curiously. Poor dude, I  saw the medical procedures that Sakura was preforming and it did not look painless.
