Hmm…I don't really know where I got this idea of GEISHA, but it just came to me when I was reading one of the "Full Metal Alchemist" fanfiction….odd… yes I know...

Note: I haven't written fanfiction for a long time…so I'm really bad at it now, or I rather say I was bad at it….and maybe still am… but I hope you would read the story.

GEISHA

The streets of Konoha still dark in the morning, some go to work and some still stay asleep, and some start to open their store.

The pink haired girl sat in front of her mother sleeping in her futon, with her emerald eyes. It was 5:00 in the morning and she couldn't get any sleep.

"Mother?" she asked to make sure if she was awake.

"Sakura...have you ever wished of becoming a Geisha?" her mother asked with her eyes still closed.

Sakura stared at her mother's face for a minute and answered, "a….Geisha? Why yes mother, it's every girl's dream to become a geisha. Having a wonderful sister and all those good things yes, I would love to."

"Sakura, you have a face a goddess, you can truly be a wonderful one." Her mother opened her eyes and touched her daughter's soft white and a little pink cheek. "If you become a Geisha, you could almost get all the things you want." She smiled.

Sakura looked at her mother's smile and looked around the room. Her house wasn't poor nor rich. The floor was Tatami and the doors were all shoji. 5 candles in the room, all the walls were wood, and two futons in the middle. Sakura looked back at her mother, " I'm going to make breakfast." Sakura smiled and left the room.

SAKURA

'Why did mother ask me that question?' I walked to the kitchen and picked up a bucket and went outside to get water from the well. Our back yard was small, it was filled with green grass and one Sakura tree. That Sakura tree was planted on my backyard on the day I was born. I like going up there and read a book, but these days I can't. I'm too busy, I have to learn wife works and all those adult stuff. Being 13 years-old isn't so great. I'm still young yes? Well mother said I have to start acting like a mature woman.

I lowered the bucket down deep in the well. Then I pulled it up to and put it in the bucket I brought from the house. Then I went back to the house.

END OF SAKURA's POV

Sakura went back to the kitchen and started cooking. 'What should I cook' Sakura thought.

20 min later

Sakura went to her mother room. "Mother? Breakfast is ready." Sakura smiled at her mother.

Her mother already put the futon in the oshiire(place were you put futon and little stuff. It's like old Japanese closet. My grandma still has it though.) http/members. go here if it helps…

Living room

"So mother, why did you ask me about Geisha?" Sakura asked still holding the rice bowl in her and and chopstick on another.

"Nothing much, Sakura, I just wanted to know." Mother smiled and continued to eat.

'weird' Sakura thought and continued eating.

Next day

Sakura woke up and went to her mother's room. "Mother?" she was not there. "Mother!" Sakura ran around the house looking for her mother. The door opened. "Mother?" Sakura ran up to the entrance.

Her mother was there with another woman left of her. "Sakura Happy Birthday." Her mother suddenly said and smiled.

"Oh.. thank you" sakura smiled and looked at the woman to her left. She looked a little scary, but very beautiful with Japanese make up on and her eyes stayed on Sakura.

"Who's this mother?" Sakura finally asked with a little strange face.

"Sakura, this is Kurenai-san she's going to be taking you as a sister." Mother smiled at her.

"Nice to meet you Sakura, I'm glad that you're a beauty." Kurenai smiled a little bit.

"Nice to meet you too Kurenai san" Sakura smiled 'She's my sister…..so that means…..I'm her sister? She's a bit old… hold on! Wait my sister? She…..she…she…she's a geisha!" Sakura looked at her again and looked at her mother.

"Happy birthday" Her mother smiled.

"Mo…Mother…I can't believe this. I'm so…happy…" Sakura felt water in her eyes.

"Sakura are you ready to go? You should get ready if you're not." Her mother said as she touched her cheeks.

"HAI!" Sakura went running to her room as Kurenai stared at her.

Sakura packed up as she cried with joy, happiness, and also sadness. The fact she had to leave home and her mother, the fact she's not going to see the Sakura tree for a while, and the fact she won't be cooking for her mother anymore. She was going to miss every single thing here.

Sakura walked to the living where her mother and Kurenai is, "I'm ready" she said.

"Alright, It was very nice to meet you Haruno- san , I promise she'll become a great geisha." Kurenai said standing up and walking to Sakura.

"Sakura, I'll go to Kyoto when I can to visit you okay? And send me letters if you can." Her mother said as she smiled with happiness and sadness.

"Don't worry I will visit when I can and I will write to you!" She said as she walked out the door with Kurenai.

'Sakura, I don't know when's the next time I can see you. I sure will miss you, I hope you will become one of the greatest geisha on Japan.' Her mother thought.

On the walk to Kyoto

"It won't be so long till we get there, I'm guessing about 1 hour?" Kurenai said as she walked the path with Sakura.

"Kurenai-san, when did you become a Geisha?" Sakura said looking at her new sister.

"Sakura, I became a Geisha not because I wanted to, but because I had to for my family. My father was dying with this disease and we didn't have enough money to get the cure. The doctor said that he will live about 5 years more, and my mother thought maybe I could become a geisha. so she send me to the Geisha school, but I couldn't become a geisha in 5 years. Then I couldn't go back home anymore, I was scared to."

Kurenai said looking down.

"I'm sorry…" Sakura said feeling so stupid asking the question.

"It's all right" Kurenai smiled.

'Her first full smile' Sakura noted in her head.

"People might not like you at first Sakura, but they will once they see you as a great Geisha. Like me." Kurenai said trying to cheer Sakura up. "And if for any reason, I'm right here" She put one hand on Sakura's shoulder.

"Hai!" Sakura said happily as she smiled with joy.

'Here I come Geisha world' Sakura thought as she walk the path with her new sister Kurenai.
