A/N: Hi there everyone! I am new here in this site and this is my first fanfic to write. I'm not really a good storyteller and not even good in English so just bear with it and hope you'll like the story. :)
Disclaimer: I don't own NARUTO. This is just a product of my 'fantasies' about my favorite anime pairings (sasusaku). This story was made not for profit but for pure fun only. No bad intentions. Thank you and hope you'll enjoy! ;)
CHAPTER 1: The Little Flower
A girl with a pair of green eyes and pink short hair came out from her room happily. She's humming a song while stepping down their stairs but on her way down, she missed one step and on the act of falling when someone caught her before hitting the floor.
"I told you to be careful when walking on the stairs." a man with blue eyes and pink dull hair, styled into a shape of cherryblosssom told her. "You might fall and hurt yourself. So be careful next time Sakura-chan." The last words are more sounded like an order than a request.
The little girl named Sakura was about to cry when her father, Kizashi Haruno put his finger on her lips. "Sshhh... don't cry. Young ladies don't cry" he said putting a smile on his face. Sakura nodded then wiped her tears. She smiled back to him.
"I'm just 7 years old father. I'm not a lady yet." she giggled.
"That's why I called you young lady." Kizashi said.
She chuckled. "Was that supposed to be another pun joke father?"
He scratched his head. "That wasn't obvious, was it?" Sakura shook her head then they laughed.
A voice from the kitchen interrupts the two. "Come on you two! Breakfast is ready!" a fair-skinned woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and a pair of green eyes just like her daughter called them out.
"Coming!" the father and daughter answered together.
In their kitchen.
"Are you excited to your first day of school Sakura-chan?" her mother, Mebuki Haruno asked while putting rice on Sakura's plate. Sakura think for a second. "Mm.. I don't know." Not sure on how to answer her mother. "School is fun dear. You will be able to meet and make friends."
Sakura took her chopsticks and picked some tempura. "I hope so." she said before putting the tempura into her mouth. Kizashi and Mebuki look worried then exchange glances.
After eating, Kizashi and his daughter need to go on their respective duties. Kizashi is a well-defined businessman in their town, Konoha. He's kinda well known as an owner of one of the biggest and a little famous pharmaceutical store. From his hard-work, he gained respect from his employees and to the townspeople as well. He named his store 'CHERRY BLOSSOM' derived from her beloved daughter's name 'Sakura' which literally means, 'cherry blossom' the flower.
Their car stopped in front of Konoha Academy. This will be the school Sakura is studying at. Her father went outside and opens the door for her.
"Don't worry, you'll be okay!" he tried to comfort her when he saw her worried eyes. The girl glanced at him and said. "Thank you father." she kissed him on the cheek and went in.
"Wait for me when school is over!" he reminded. Sakura turned around and waved her father goodbye.
"Okay! Be careful!" she responded and continue to walk.
Riiiiiiiiiiiing...
"It's break time kids! Go eat your snacks now. I'll be out for a while." The teacher said to her students.
"Yay! Snack time!" a fat boy gets excited and opens his snack quickly. Beside him is Sakura staring at her food. "Are you not going to eat that?" the fat boy asked.
"N-no… I-I will." she answered him then grabbed her bread filled with strawberry jam. Three girls walk in front of her.
"Hey, that forehead of yours is really biiiiiiiig!" the girl at the middle teased then laughed at her. She looked down on the floor to hide her tears and secretly wipe it.
"Oh look! She's crying.." the other one mock.
"Careful! Her forehead is so big and shinny that it's blinding me." the other girl added then they continue to laugh. She bit her lip to stop her tears from falling again. This is why she hates public places including schools and parks every time kids saw her and her large forehead, they always tease her like hell and it hurts her sensitive emotions. Yes, she admits, she is so sensitive.
"Stop it you three little noisy pigs!" a girl protested behind them. Her eyebrows met in annoyance and anger. "Do you want a hit from this?" She showed her right fist in front of their scared faces. The three girls ran away. "That's right! Run away scaredy cats!" the blonde haired girl exclaimed. She ignored them and faced the little girl they're teasing around.
"Are you okay?" she asked. The young girl nodded. "By the way, I'm Ino, Yamanaka Ino." she introduced her self and offered her hand. "And you are?"
Sakura looked at her and saw her smiling. "S-Sakura, Haruno Sakura." she took her hand and shake. "Thank you..." she said in a hushed voice.
"Nah! It's okay. Why didn't you speak up back there?" Ino took a sit in front of her.
"I-I just can't..." Sakura shyly answered.
"What a shy girl you are." Ino commented then sighed. Sakura got embarrassed with her self because Ino was right, she is such a shy sensitive girl.
"Come on, cheer up! Let's eat our snacks together." she cheerfully said.
Sakura's class was over. She saw her father waiting in front of the gate. Her father waved and she waved back then rushed to his direction.
"How's school? How's class?" he constantly asked while starting the car. She shrugged her shoulders and answered him. "It's fine father."
"Were your classmates' kind and make friends with them?" he asked her once more turning the wheels to the right.
"Y-yeah… Some of them." Sakura is unable to tell what happened during their break time. Kizashi wondered."Some of them? Why? Did something bad happen?" He senses something's not right the way she answered him. Sakura realized her answer and shook her head hurriedly. "N-no... I-It's not like that father..." she denied.
'I can't tell my father what happened... I don't want them to be worried about me.' She thought and looked outside to avoid his father's questioning look.
"Okay then, if you say so." She turned around and saw her father smiling. He's not convinced but didn't bother to ask questions anymore, instead, he gently touched her head and remarked. "Just always remember that I and your mother are always here for you, Sakura." He got a nod as an answer.
It's kinda short, I guess. Please review, and also comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.
Peace out! :)
