Learning From The Past
Chapter 1 Laundry
Haruno Sakura sat on her bed; the familiar voices of her parents bickering could be heard form downstairs. She was waiting for a break when they would both leave for work. Sakura was a lot older now and was a successful Jounin. She had finished her training with Tsunade-sama and was now a medic ninja.
She heard the door slam and she figured it was her parents. She no longer heard the bickering so she thought I was safe to go downstairs. She got downstairs to see a not on the kitchen table.
"Sakura,
Your dad and I will both be working late. I would like you to wash the dishes when you get home and could you hang out the laundry on the line before you leave?
Thank-you
Mom xo ♥"
Sakura sighed, "Mom-m! I've got plans. When will she start thinking of me?" She groaned before walking out on the small wrap around deck that led to her back yard.
The wicker basket waited for her as the sun's beams glittered in the little fishpond beside the sturdy fence. She finished hanging her black kimono that she had recently worn the other day to a friend of the family's funeral.
There was a creaking in the floorboards of her deck and then hands slipped around her waist. Sakura jumped slightly startled. She turned around in the person's arms to see who it was. She slapped the lazy face of her boyfriend Nara Shikamaru as he smiled at her. Sakura's heart beating fast she hugged him.
"You scared the shit out of me." She smiled, loving the way that she felt in his arms.
"Good for ya." He smiled at her slightly pale face. "Want some help?" He asked her reaching over her head to clip the kimono to the line.
She knew that this was not the Shikamaru that she knew and loved but lately he'd been acting a lot nicer and not so lazy. It was like he knew something that was going to happen to them that could possibly tear the two of them apart. Either way she liked that feeling, the feeling that she had moved up a step in his life and now she felt more important.
Before she could reply to his question Shikamaru had already hung the kimono on the line and then hugged her with his strong arms that wrapped around her small but curvy body.
"Thank-you." She said before they both walked out the front door and then she locked it.
