~Hello~
So This has been on my mind for almost a week and its been a real pain so I had to post it.
He had known her since she was little.
Always watching over her.
And little by little his interest in her grew to the point where he would compare other women to her.
His being told him she was different but never knowing why she was different.
His confusion grew and with it his curiosity along the way though his emotions grew out of control.
She lived a free life. Doing as she pleased and having her parents there to encourage her.
She knew nothing of his world,
But found him somewhat interesting.
They met when she was still a child while he was older than her.
But only one knew the other, the other remained in the dark.
How would she react when she found out that her life was not as it seemed?
When responsibility of dealing with bigger things was suddenly thrusted to her.
It was freezing cold and there were no blankets in her closet having had moved in just about a week ago and things were still all over the house,
boxes still unpacked and in those boxes there had to be a warm blanket.
Little five-year old Sakura Haruno was cold from taking a nap without anything to cover herself with and was now looking around her new house for something warm to wear. She walked around dragging a stuffed bunny behind her that she had gotten from her aunt. It was a year old and she loved it will all her little heart, never parting with it. Even when she went to bed she made sure that her bunny, 'Mr. Bun.' was nice and warm along side her. Her family and her had moved from the center of Konoha, where all the noise of traffic and the bustling of people walking around were heard all hours of the day, and where now on the edges of konoha where the houses where much bigger and had lots of rooms and a backyard to play around in. They were also closer, like right there closer, to the huge forest that went on for miles and miles on ahead.
Her mother had wanted a big house and a backyard for sakura to play in and run around. A place where she could raise her beloved daughter in peace and this was the perfect place. Or so it seemed.
Giving up on finding a blanket, little sakura turned to look for her mother instead and have her deal with finding one for her. She was tired, sleepy, and hungry. She knew her father was working and wouldn't be home until later so that meant her mother was in the kitchen, hopefully making some macaroni.
Standing in the kitchens door way she saw her mother cooking something that looked like rice. Maybe, you never knew with her.
"Mommy?" Sakura yawned and rubbed her eye.
Sayuri Haruno looked at her most precious creation with loving eyes and a bright smile lifting sakura's mood immediately. Sayuri Haruno was a beautiful woman with moonlight sliver color hair flowing down her back, with a dark green eyes, dressed in a dark green dress that reached her knees and white sandals. Her beauty rivaled by few people she made heads turn even when married. Something her husband disliked with passion.
Sayuri went over and cradled her baby in her arms throwing her up in the air laughing with joy.
"Yes sweety? What do you need mommy for?" she asked in a sweet voice looking at her daughter now sitting on her hip.
"Mommy I'm cold, I didn't find a blanket." Sakura widen her eyes as if a monster had taken her toys. Sayuri chuckled at her, "Well then let's get you a sweater, Hm? and then we can drink some hot chocolate, how's that?" sakura nodded her head raptly at the mention of chocolate.
Walking out they headed to sakura's room. Placing her on her bed, she looked through the boxes that had been moved into the room, lucky sakura didn't have to wait long for her mother had found her something to wear immediately. Now a long white sweater covered her from head to toe, her mother had moved the sweaters hoodie on her head and then engaged in a tickling war on the bed.
After having a bit of fun they went and had their hot drink of chocolate, little sakura though wanted to explore the backyard her mother had told her about and decided that she was warm enough to play outside for a while. She grabbed her red ball and dashed out the glass sliding door. The backyard was big enough to play a small game of soccer with other kids and still have room to run around. Walking down the three steps, her big glassy green bright eyes took in the sight of her new playground and then looked towards the very back where the grass was taller and the trees grew wider and bigger. It looked kinda scary, dark looking and gloomy as well. She decided not to go all the way over there as much as she liked to see new things, being in the dark was not something sakura liked.
She bounced the ball around and kicked it to random directions playing by herself and thinking about the swing set her father had promised her to buy along with a few slides. A smile was seen on the child's face as she dreamed of playing with her family.
Time had gone by and soon she knew her father would be home soon and they could eat dinner.
The front door had opened suddenly startling Sayuri when she saw that it had been her husband walking in. She took his coat and welcomed him home with a kiss.
Haru Haruno was a man not to be messed with, everything about him oozed power and strength. From the way he would stand, his graceful way of walking, to the way he spoke, he was always in charge of his surroundings. He had flaming red hair with piercing green eyes that stared into your eyes, pale skin like his wife, standing tall at 5'12. His built alone could and did scare people but that didn't stop them from stealing glances his way to look at his features. Making women gasp for air much like what his wife did to men when she walked by.
"Welcome home. Did you have a nice day?" she asked him hanging his coat in the closet.
"Thank you. As for my day, there wasnt much to do, so they let me leave a little early." They walked into the kitchen with sayuri making him a hot drink listening about how his day went.
Sakura had been playing just fine when she suddenly had kicked the ball too hard and had bounced over to the back of the yard. The sun was still up but barely so she moved quickly to grab her ball when she accidentally kicked the ball with her feet further into the woods, with a quick glance back at her house she went in to retrieve it.
The trees towered over her, the grass was tall enough to brush passed her knees, and there were shadows everywhere. Not liking how it looked she shifted her weight from leg to leg.
"come on where it you go" she whispered.
She walked deeper into the woods but found no signs of her missing ball and she was starting to get tired of looking for it. She felt like she had walked in circles the whole time. Until she came into a small clearing where the sun's rays just barely hit, making the grass shine like she had seen in movies. Looking up she saw butterfly's flying around in different colors. Walking into the center she giggled as some of the butterfly's landed on her forehead and arms, making her forget about her missing toy. And very thoroughly not aware of a pair of eyes watching her from afar.
She laughed and danced around the butterfly's playing her own little game of catch when she heard the crack of a twig.
The eyes belonged to a wolf, a very tall, very scary looking wolf that hid itself within the shadows the wood provided. Watching the small human play around, laughing.
He had heard rumors of someone buying the house around here but hadn't believed it until now but it seemed that whoever it was had a family. He saw the girl's head snap up at the noise his paws made when he stepped on the branch, like a deer, waiting and listening for any movement before it ran away. But she didn't run instead she looked around for the source of the noise. Seeing her sigh she turned around and began looking around the ground again.
Sakura was about to go home she was done looking for the ball, she stomped her foot angry, "Where is my ball!" she said. The animal looked to the round thing a few feet away from him before looking back at the human pup in front, she seemed upset about something. Was it because of this thing? The animal rose and without making a sound he went over to the ball and pushed it her way with his paw.
She was about to walk away when her red ball came rolling to her feet. She blinked twice, Did balls roll themselves around? Looking up to see what had caused this she found nothing, there was no one here except for her that was until she saw something jump away further and further away into the woods, it was big, she thought.
Grabbing her ball she ran out of the small clearing and went back to her house.
"where's my pup, sayuri?" asked Haru drinking a cup of hot chocolate, sitting in the living room couch. Sayuri was sitting on the other couch looking at her husband amused. He always acted as if nothing bothered him as if the world could go up in flames and it wouldn't make him blink. That was until it came to their baby girl. She was their everything, their star, the apple of their eyes. He always wanted to know if she needed anything, if she wanted a toy or a dress, anything that she wanted, he would go out and buy it for her no matter the cost of the object. She was his first child after all and a girl. It also didn't help that they had...animal instinct.
Little sakura didn't know that she was part of something big. Her family wasn't normal, far from it.
Sakura Melody Haruno was born in to the great Haruno Wolf clan. One of the many clans around the world, it was also one of the few remaining clans of pure bloods, meaning that all the members of the Haruno clan were pure bloods. Power, strength, were all in them and of course Loyalty to the clan. Her mother though, wanted to raise sakura as normal as possible before she was thrust into their world of rules, meetings of other clans, dealing with the pressure of being the best of their kind. Haru was against it at first saying that it wasn't right nor fair to sakura to hide from her, her true nature. She was the Heir of their clan and as such needed to know how things worked, Sayuri though didn't care and had said that if he was so against it that she would take her baby and rise sakura herself in the city. As head of his clan, Haru was stuck between the wall and sword. The clan saying to force Sayuri to follow their traditions and Sayuri saying she would leave if he didn't agree with her.
In the end he had chosen to be with his wife. He wanted to see his child grow and be there for her. Haru dealt with clan matters when it was needed and trusted his fellow brothers to take care of things when the need rose.
"MOMMY MOMMY!" came sakura's urgent voice as soon as she walked into the house, her mother hearing the tone of her child, dashed to her and picked her up into her arms with Haru on her heels,
"whats wrong sweety, what happened, did you get hurt?" she asked searching for cuts or bruises. Her fathers' sharp green eyes looking over her as well.
sakura's bright eyes looked straight at her mother, "Mommy I went to get my ball and I saw something big, really really big, jumping and running. Mommy it was a monster!" she cried.
Sayuri looked at sakura with a titled head and worried eyes, "Big? Where sweety?" Sakura nodded her head, "Mhmm. It was back there," she turned her mother's arms and pointed to the back of the yard.
"It was really really big, I don't know what it was." she said looking down.
Sayuri turned to face her husband who was looking at the yard, his eyes searching for anything that move. She rubbed her daughter's back and lightly bounced her around.
"Sakura dear," she looked up at her mother, "yesh?" came her childish voice.
" Try not to go back there, ok? It's not safe and mommy can't see where you are. You might get hurt so never go in the woods without me or daddy, ok?" Sakura nodded her head. If her mother told her not to go in, she wasn't going disobey her. Besides, it was dark in there. "Ok mommy I promise." Her mother nodded at her answer, it was then that sakura noticed her father behind her, how could someone miss his presence was a mystery.
"DADDY!" she said, her eyes lighting up as she looked up at her father. Haru glanced at his daughter and took her from sayuri.
"Hey there kiddo." He placed a kiss on her forehead before hugging her close. Sakura hid her face in his neck taking in his peppermint scent that always calmed her. His wolf instincts relaxing at having his pup near him knowing she was safe in his arms.
"Now what's this about you seeing something in the woods? What were you doing there in the first place?"
Sakura told them about what had happened and her father looked anything but pleased with the information. What idiot dared to enter his territory? Everyone knew that Konoha was Haruno land no wolf went in and just wandered around without notifying them. It was not done unless you wanted to start a war. You didn't go into other wolf's land without telling them before going in, they might mistake you for an enemy and a would attack you.
"Sakura I don't want you wandering around in the woods, if the ball goes in leave it there. I'll buy you a new one, ok? Under no circumstances are you to go in there."
It was now dark outside, the sun had set, and the temperature had dropped. They were sitting in the living room around the burning fire-place giving them warmth and sakura had changed into warm cotton pink PJ pants with a long sleeve white pj shirt, sitting in front of the fire-place on the rugged floor playing with . Looking up at her father she nodded at his order, her wolf instinct knowing that an order from her father was one that they couldn't refuse.
He would deal with the dumb idiot in the morning and find out what it was doing in these parts. For now though he would enjoy his time with his wife and pup. Sayuri wasn't pleased with the news either but she knew that Haru would handle the situation so for now she wouldn't do anything but if it came back whatever was wondering around would deal with a very pissed off mama wolf, something that no wolf wanted to deal with because facing a wolf who protecting her pup was twice as dangerous as facing a full-grown male itself. They would do more than just scratch and cut you, a mama wolf wouldn't be satisfied until you near the brink of death or until you showed that you meant no harm to her or her pup, which in most cases was difficult when they wouldn't see reason.
Little sakura unaware of the small tension around her parents continued to play with her stuffed animal that had been given to her by her aunt Tsunade. Another wolf that was more than protective when it came to sakura.
