Two days later they were travelling back at the hideout.

Along the way, Sakura was silent and didn't uttered a word, the only things that didn't made the things awkward was Karin and Suigetsu constant annoying arguments and with Juugo restraining them before any unnecessary fight to start again.

It seems obvious that she was somehow annoyed by their constant annoying bickering.

She didn't bother to stopped them.

She was all too focused in her own thoughts, sometimes her thoughts would be cut short because of suddened loud noise from the two like cats and dogs.

If they ever did, only a small blanked glanced from her they would received, the two never noticed it and she won't mind.

She already knew that even if she was to scolded them one of them again would start a fight, mainly Suigetsu.

By now and then, her eyes were recently becoming more blurry than usual.

She's afraid that sooner or later her eyes would bleed even if she didn't used Mangekyō Sharingan in battle.

Sakura would sooner have her father's eyes.

But she won't give up so easily.

Her medications might worked this time around.

Closing her eyes, she concentrated her senses to know her way.

'Where have you been?'She asked.

'Inside your head, it's been awhile since you tapped me yourself.'Inner Sakura replied.

'Keep me entertained would you?'

'Oh? That's interesting, about Kuro eh? His words went straight to you. I remembered that you've been questioned by Danzo the same thing before we left the village.'

Sakura felt herself succumed into her subconscious in where Inner Sakura stays in her mind.

▪○●□■

Sakura opened her eyes and saw Inner Sakura sitting on a swing, grinning sadistically.

"What did you do this time?"Sakura asked to her

"Nothing important, you know what I'm thinking, why asked me?"She asked, while truly it wasn't a question.

She stayed silent, then again closing her eyes.

A swing, identical to inner Sakura showed up behind her and she sat down.

This was where Inner Sakura stays in her mind in which only them knew and where Sakura would go if ever she meditated somewhere.

In this place of her mind, they manipulated the things they wanted to appear.

The place in her mind shaped into a garden.

"Too bad really, we can shaped the things we wanted, we imagined that we taste, smell and feel it yet it couldn't fill our bellies now did we?"Inner Sakura sipped her tea.

"We decide what it would taste like and how hot it is but,"She paused, looking at her tea."How dissapointing that this is not real. Much more what can we imagined what the true tastes like?"Inner Sakura shook her head jokingly."How dissapointing indeed."She went back to drinking her tea, staring at her.

"You can feel it don't you, my eyes are getting blurry, I really need to-"

"You're afraid. To put your father's eyes on to you."

Something was wrong.

Something was always wrong when it comes to Sakura.

She was acting more strangely than before.

Sasuke assumed that Kuro said something that hitted her or something that bothered her.

His eyes trailed her every move.

He would asked Madara later.

▪○●□■

Arriving at the hideout later.

Sakura reported all the events that happened two days ago to Madara.

After she reported, she excused herself to rest in her bedroom.

Team taka went to their own ways except for Sasuke.

▪○●□■

"How did Sakura obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan?"Sasuke asked more like demanded.

This earned Madara's attention.

"Oh? Why do you asked?"He pushed into the matter.

Sasuke stayed silent but his face showed that he wanted a straight and fully detailed answer, in other words he wanted the answer.

Breaking the silence, the masked man Uchiha complied.

"Sakura's story when she was a child wasn't all that too happy as you know it."

"What do you mean?"Sasuke was instantly hooked up.

"She suffered from a mental disorder called schizophrenia, well in medical reports yes, it was called schizophrenia or what we call it a voice on your head. The reason why she had this was because she was a victim of bullying and mainly...Danzo."

"Danzo? Tell me more."Sasuke demanded calmly, his eyes narrowed.

"When Sakura was young, she started to developed her own mental disorder; schizophrenia in which from what I learned, her deceased mother also had this too but managed to fade away with the help of a therapy but in Sakura's case like what I said said earlier, medics called it 'schizophrenia' but in reality it's not about the mental. It's an extra chakra from her mind that was triggered again and was able ro mass it to her own will and creating this own individual of what she called it 'Inner Sakura'."The masked man crossed his arms.

"What does this 'inner Sakura' has to with Mangekyō Sharingan?"The young Uchiha raised a brow.

"It has to do with everything. Before Sakura left the village she encountered Danzo along the way, their conversation was kept a secret that not even I do not know since I wasn't there at the spot, all I can do was to observed them from a far. From what I can tell it was a heated conversation and she was fighting the urged to fight him and that for sure, I noticed with my Sharingan her chakra was flaring throughout her body; inside her head, her chakra entered a part of her brain in which it triggered Inner Sakura."Madara continued

"I believed Inner Sakura was the source on why she awakened Mangekyō Sharingan. "

"...What do you mean?"He narrowed his eyes more.

"You can only awakened Mangekyō Sharingan when a loved one dies in front of you or you killed that person with your two hands. You see, like what I told you Sakura's childhood wasn't that happy, her memories from her past when she was little was erased by Danzo since he killed one of her true blooded relative in front of her, an Madara's Sharingan swirled.

"Even before, Danzo already killed someone."Sasuke cursed, his hate flaring out from him.

"...And during their conversation, inner Sakura was triggered and somehow she regained her full memories with the help of her and from that said, she awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Her memories however in which she regained is her story to tell since I don't have the right to."He adjusted his masked."It would be a pain if it came from my own mouth, Sakura would definitely be...Furious I might say."

Sasuke made no move at all until he sighed.

"Is that all?"Sasuke walked to the door.

"Hn..."Was the reply he recieved.

And the door closed, a sign that he was out of the room.

"Sasuke really did have set his eyes on Sakura ne? Tobi."Zetsu emerged from the wall, half of his body was shown.

Madara turned his head to faced him.

"He did, interesting enough."

▪○●□■

"S-Sakura Haruno is my name...M-Mako-san..."

"Ne, just because we're cousins you have to address me with san."

"C-Cousin?"

"Shh! It's a secret, I just found it recently you're my cousin so we have to keep it as a secret kay!"

Little Sakura nodded with a smile.

"Okay!"

"I'm...I'm so sorry...Mako-chan, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you..."

"...You know...You're the best cousin I ever had...."

Mako's black hair was stained by her blood, still her smile was what calms Sakura.

▪○●□■

Sakura opened her eyes instantly.

She dreamed of it...

Again.

At this moment, she couldn't calm herself down.

Subconsciously, activating her Mangekyō Sharingan without her noticing.

And she felt her mind ease at the moment.

Oh, so Inner Sakura was taking controling her state of mind.

'Again and again, so stubborn as ever aren't you sweetheart? I told you didn't I, if you overthink about that again it would appear in your dream.'

Sakura just kept silent as she rubbed her shoulders. Falling into her bed once again she covered herself in blanket.

▪○●□■

Sakura couldn't sleep all night after she had the nightmare.

She was sitting at the top of the fossilised unknown creature in the night's full moon.

Only the sound of crickets could be heard.

She stared at the full moon.

"What are you doing here?"A voice said behind her.

Her head turned around and looked up to see Sasuke.

"Sasuke..."She whispered.

Sasuke went beside her and sat beside her.

"Your brother used to sit beside me when he was alive during these late hours when I'm awake."Sakura suddenly said.

He looked at her."My brother?"

She nodded."He spoke many things about you when you were young and stating that he loved you so much."

He said nothing.

Sakura expected that from him anyway.

"Why are you here?"She asked.

"I should be asking that from you anyway."

A vein popped on her forehead but managed to calm herself down.

"I was clearing my head, that's all."She answered, turning her head at him with a smug looked, getting awkward by the second.

Sasuke's eyes eyed her."I'm surprised that you have not been vomiting."

Sakura snorted and stood up, then what he said was processed to her mind bringing an answer.

Her eyes twitched in annoyance. 'That idiot, thinking I am pregnant, having pregnancy symptoms such idiocy.'

"I'm taking birth pills Sasuke-kun, just to let you know that I am not pregnant."

'You just got burned.'Inner Sakura chuckled.'I still love you though.'
