It began with a smile.
In the rare moments when he let go enough to actually reflect upon it, that was where it all started from, the point where everything that had happened since then could be traced back to. Such an insignificant encounter, or would be if not for the fact that he could still remember it.
"See you," was the bid farewell. "Be careful going home."
That this person actually cared that he got back home safe and sound, instead of fearing for what's he has done to her in the past. When she stood to defend the Uchiha and that was the first time he really notice her. Not for her power for she was weak in comparison to her teammates but because she actually had the gull to stand up to him despite being a weakling, Even though now that is not the case. He himself have help her with her training to make sure she can take care of herself in the case that he can't be there.
After that encounter she still was able to approach him to give him thanks after retrieving the traitor. He continued to grab every opportunity he could for missions to go to Konoha, not to really talk to her but to merely watch after he finished his missions. She was so caring and loving and still is to this day and he loves her for it because her loving ways brought her to him.
She wanted to help him at first to make friends when she caught him watching her one day, it had initially unnerved her that he was doing it but soon got use to him being around til one day she invited him to go out to launch with her after the morning shift at the hospital that she had worked at. Now looking back at those days he can really say he wouldn't have done it any other way because it has got them to where they are now. He loves watching sakura with the children after getting out of the Kazakage tower and come upon them in the garden that she grew when she first came here to help the medics in suna and to live with her now husband. It's funny how she was able to plant sakura trees out in the desert but he don't complain.
Mommy look daddy's home! My 5 year old Miyuki says.
Sakura looks up from her book to see her husband standing at the back door of the kitchen, stands up with help from our 6 year old son Naru because of her perturbing belly. I look at this image and I wouldn't have changed anything, and I will do anything I can to keep it this way.
