"Hurry Sasuke-kun, hurry." His mom said.

"I'm coming." he yelled back at her, running as fast as his short, chubby legs could carry him.

We,my mom, brother, and myself, were going to the hospital to visit my mom's friend Hitake Haruno. She had just had her first baby and my mommy wanted to go and see her. As we walked into the room, I saw a woman about 5 years younger than my mom. She had long brown hair and had a pleasent face. She looked very exhausted.

"Hello. How are you, Hitake-chan?" my mother asked her.

"Amazing. A little bit tired, but otherwise great." She smiled and said.

"Where is the little girl?"

She pointed over to a crib by the bed.

"Oh my goodness, Isn't she just the beautiful baby I have ever seen."

I tugged on my mothers skirts to get her attention. My dad told me that I needed to stop since I was four years old. But he was not here. (A/N: X D)

"Mommy I want to see her."

"Ok, Sasuke-kun." She sent a look at Hitake.

When I could finally see, I saw that she was the most beautiful girl that I ever saw even though she was only a baby. She had a strip of bubble-gum hair and the greenist eyes.

"What is her name, Mommy?"

"What did you name her, Hitake?"

"Sakura, Sakura Haruno."

"Just like the cherry blossum tree." my mother sighed.

"Yes"

"Well, we should go, Hitake, we shall let you rest."

"Thank you for coming to visit. Good-bye boys."

I took one last look at the baby "Good bye Sakura." I whispered.

Itachi just hmpf and poked me.

"OW! Why did you do that, Itachi." I yelled.

"Because you are stu-..."

"ITACHI!"

"Yes, mother?"

"Ugh, Good bye Hitake-chan." my mother said while heading towards the door.

"Take care." She replied.

On the way home....

"Mommy, is Sakura-chan going to be my friend?" I looked up and asked her.

"Yes, Sasuke-kun, a very good friend." She said smiling to herself.

"YAY" I said jumping up and down.

Then.. I felt it, the poke.

"I hate you" I screamed at my brother.

"Good, you pest." Itachi said back. Always with that calm expression on his face.

"BOYS!"

"Sorry, mom." I said looking at the ground.

Itachi just hmpfed again.
