Knock,knock, knock
"Oi, Sasuke-kun, open the door. It's freezing here!" Sakura shouted. It was November in Konoha and it's snowing there. For the first time. It was always sunny and cloudy in Konoha.
Sasuke opened his door and saw Sakura wearing a pink sweater with a cream-colored scarf and skirt, wearing boots, and carrying a paper bag.
"It's really freezing, huh? Nice skirt," Sasuke let her in.
"We went ice skating, actually." Sakura replied, Sasuke gave her some hot chocolate.
"Thanks. Tsunade-sama asked you to come to her office." Sakura said, sipping the drink. Mmm, delicious…
"Why?" Sasuke said, as he sat beside her on the settee.
Sasuke grew closer with the others, especially with Sakura, after he learned the truth about his brother and wiped Madara off the face of Earth. Sasuke said he'll "Crush Konoha", but actually it was a trap to capture Madara in Konoha. End. Okay, back to the story.He said he didn't want to have any regrets anymore so…
"We'll have some mission. She said it's difficult and almost all Chunins and Jounins are dying to have it. But, only 15-17 years old can enter. Tsunade-sama made you an exception, you don't have to have some 'audition' as they call it." Sakura said.
"A mission that needs an audition?" Sasuke smirked.
"Yea. But, it's a very important mission and some big-shot is hiring eight talented ninjas. You know the offer for each?" Sakura said. Sasuke gave her a "What?" look.
"For the whole village, if the ninjas succeed, he shall give 5 million ryos and for eachninja, he'll give 450,000 ryos. Who wouldn't die for it? But, I reckon the mission will take a lot of time and is very dangerous too. Besides, if the mission fails. Konoha will pay 5 million ryos, and all the connection to the feudal lords, will be put to an end. The one who hired us is very powerful and wealthy." Sakura replied and flipped her hair out of her face. Her hair is two-inches below her shoulder already, unlike before. Mmm, yes, she knows Sasuke likes girls better with short hair unlike what she thought before. But, whatever…
"Well then, I'll take a bath first and change into something more comfortable…" Sasuke said, going to his room.
"Money got you, huh?" Sakura teased, following him. She stood by the door of his room, with her arms akimbo.
"You'll take a shower too?" Sasuke said, smirking. Sakura shook her head and walked backward as Sasuke closed the door. She went to the spare room beside Sasuke's room. That's where Sasuke put his spare things.
"Amazing…" Sakura muttered.
There was two bookcases and it was full of photos he got from the whole Uchiha household. Here is what she saw: All the words inside the parentheses are Sakura's thoughts.
Photos of:
The whole Uchiha household
(Ooh, so many cuties… Itachi… hmm… You're so good but others think you were evil… )
Mikoto-Sasuke's mom
(Gorgeous. Stunning. All of Sasuke's looks was from her, Nice curves!)
Fugaku-Sasuke's father
(Looks arrogant, wrinkles like Itachi's… EVERYTHING IS LIKE ITACHI!)
Maybe Sasuke's aunt, haven't told anything about her by Sasuke
(Fat) (wait!! She looks tender though… Tender meat!!)
Sasuke's uncle
(Too skinny…)
Uchiha Obito
(cute…)
Uchiha Shisui
(By his looks,no wonder Itachi killed him easily…)
And one table was well, full of Sasuke… (gawd, I didn't know Sasuke likes cameras so much.)
Sasuke,newborn
(Hehehe, just a lock of swooshy hair, the eyes are perfect since)
Sasuke in her mom's arms, about 3 months
(Now, now, there's a shape in his hair there)
Sasuke with Itachi
(Sasuke is a LOT cuter than Itachi. Sasuke's cute, Itachi's handsome. –wink wink-)
Sasuke with his father
(My, is he really his father?? There's not a sense of love in his eyes!)
Stolen Shot of Sasuke in the academy,
(Mmm, the boy I fell in love with)
Wait, who's that he's staring at? The girl's body was in half, wasn't caught in the camera. Pink hair… Almost fell of the slide…
(OMFG! That's me!! I'm the only one in the academy who has CUTE pink hair! Yea, I'm a klutz… That's so long ago!!)
He's staring atme? Mmm, maybe he's so amused I fell off the slide…
She moved to the other shelves with photo albums. In one hidden corner she saw one dark blue one and got it….
Then she saw others of Naruto and Kakashi too.
Written was:
Madori - Uchiha Mikoto's Photo Album and Diary
Sakura opened it and saw lots of pictures of gorgeous girls. Written was,"Nee-chan",
"Oka-chan", "Otou-chan", and another part, "THE SECOND PART OF MY LIFE"
"Fugaku", "Itachi", and "my precious little Sasuke".
After each picture were descriptions. And some entries of her diary.
"FUGAKU"
He became my husband, I loved him dearly… Our first-time…
Wait! CUT! What "first- time"?
Sakura continued and…
Our first time to meet each other was at a big social gathering of clans…
Oh… (breathes a sigh of relief)
Sakura did not continue for she knows that there are reallysecretsthat may have happen that she does't want to know. She went to Sasuke's page already.
"SASUKE"
He was our favorite child, yes, even Fugaku. He was an ordinary child and has a lot of potential. We know he has a good heart. Although, he really sees his brother as a big inspiration…..
He has just started at the academy and he has met Haruno Sumiko's daughter, Sakura. I don't know if he still remembers Sakura. They were often playing when I come to visit Sumiko's's house when they were 3 yrs. Old.
So!! That's what was my mom was talking about when I first went to the academy! I should've told her about Sasuke-kun!
I think the time is nearing, Itachi will soon do something to the clan.
What? What the hell is she talking about?!
Sakura flips back to Itachi's page. She saw the last paragraph and tears start to trickle down her face.
Itachi is 13 already and Fugaku and I talked recently. We both know he's so talented. And I think many of us pushed and pressured him so much. We know he killed Shisui. We know that one day, Itachi will do something to us. . But, how about Sasuke? We planned on taking him away. Let him hurt us but not the only hope of our clan.
SEPTEMBER 23,1999
Sasuke is improving! Itachi is getting farther and farther apart. I only wish he will change. But, I'm prepared with whatever might happen..
What? How could she? How could she know and do nothing about it?
Sakura's eyes caught a calendar. September 24. It was a month ago and… Sasuke, Naruto and she visited the clan's grave. September 24 was the anniversary of the Uchiha Clan massacre. September 23 was her last entry.
She went to Sasuke's page and read September 23.
September 24, 1999
I have a bad feeling today. Whatever it is,
I will always love and be with you, Sasuke. You're the last child I'll have and that's why you're so precious for me. Sasuke, whatever might happen, never ever give up and never ever traitor your friends.
He actually traitored us… But, he still came back!!
And to Itachi,
Itachi, whatever it is, remember that I will always love you. I will always be with you, you're the first child that God has given me. I hope you'll change.
And to Fugaku,
Fugaku, thank you for being with me through all these years. For being with me through thick and thin. And giving me the most adorable sons and days my whole life. I love you very much.
Sakura half stopped crying now. And,
Does she mean 'nights'? (giggling)
(Note: Ugh)
And in the last page was an empty page with a box in it written: Sasuke's love.
To the girl who will be loved by Sasuke:
You are so lucky. Please take care of him and love him with all of your heart. I know that when the time that Sasuke finds you, the girl he loves, I won't be around anymore, so, take care of him , okay? If he ever does mischief, tell it to me. Wherever I may be. I know he'll take c are of you and may you both live happily as Uchihas. Bless you and to my future grandchildren. Say hi to them for me, will you? Take care!
I'm sorry, Ms. Mikoto!! If I read that and I'm not actually the one he really loves! I'm so sorry! You're such a good mother. Beautiful inside and out.
She flipped through the back pages and something caught her eye. She suddenly wanted to burst into laughter. A naked photo of Sasuke when he was about 6 years old!! Sasuke was glaring at the camera. Hahahaha!
Well, nothinggoodto see, actually… I could use this as blackmail,though. Ha!!
She returned all of it neatly and closed her eyes.
I didn't know Sasuke-kun came not only from a rich and famous clan but also a very kind-hearted one… Although they are quite arrogant, still…
"So, Sakura, what did you see?" Sasuke said, smirking.
Sakura stood up, maintaining her composure even if she's a little bit surprised.
"You have so many photographs of your family…" Sakura said.
Oooh, Sasuke-kun smells so nice after he takes a bath…
"Did you see anything?" he said "…unusual?".
Sakura shooked her head and went to Sasuke.
"So, ready? Let's go!" Sakura said. Sasuke nodded and closed the door.
Sakura and Sasuke both walked in the almost ankle-deep snow towards the Hokage's Tower.
"So, how did you found all those old photographs and notebooks?" Sakura said.
"When I moved into a single apartment, I got all of the things that I can bring with me. Including personal diaries and some letters I didn't know exist." He said.
"Look! There's Naruto and Ino!" Sakura pointed at the two ninjas.
"So, you taking the auditions, forehead?" Ino sneered at her best friend.
"Pigs are not allowed, Ino…" Sakura replied
"Teme."
"Dobe."
"So, Dobe, you're taking the 'auditions'? You think you can get in, huh?" Sasuke said.
"You think so too, Teme huh?" Naruto said
Sakura swooshed her her hand in front of Naruto's face.
"Reality check, Naruto. Remember, Sasuke does NOT need to have the auditions." Sakura said. Sasuke smirked.
""That's so unfair! Where's Tsunade-baachan??" Naruto shouted.
They all went upstairs, to the Hokage's office.
"Eh? It's empty?" Ino said.
"The auditions will be held in the complex. There're so many people who like to audition the Hokage's office almost exploded." Shikamaru said.
"Shikamaru!!" Naruto said.
"Why are you here, lazy moron?" Ino said.
"Troublesome task. Tsunade-sama said I should wait for you here." He replied.
"Then let's go the complex." Sakura said.
At the complex,
"WELCOME, everybody!!" Tsunade said and made some explanations on how the audition will be formed.
"For kunoichis (female ninjas) they should know how to write compositions and sing OR if not, that kunoichi should have a strong fighting style and for male ninjas, they should have a high-quality fighting style." Tsunade said.
"BEGIN!"
And so, the "audition" began, which took up for more than 3-4 hours. The result?
GIRLS:
Sakura
Tenten
Ino
Hinata
BOYS:
Neji
Naruto
Shikamaru
"See! I won! Hahaha!" Naruto said.
"Did you battle anyone fairly? You beat two because you farted on them on the face!! Troublesome little blonde. Tch." Shikamaru said.
"Hahaha." Naruto said sarcastically. Well, it was true.
With the girls, two and a half hours later,
"Okay, time to pass your papers, girls." Tsunade said.
All of them passed their papers neatly and almost half of them looked bemused.
"Hey, I saw a girl there who just wrote her name then on the whole paper she just put, "You'," Ino said, giggling
"Don't get too cocky, Ino." Sakura said.
"Hey! That friggin' girl was AMI!!" Ino said.
"Ooh." She replied.
"Hi!! Guess what? We won." Tenten and Hinata appeared..
"What happened with the boys?" Sakura said. Sasuke appeared by the hallway.
"Well, Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru got off. They're the only ones who survived. Stupid audition. I volunteered to get the audition too and Tsunade permitted me. But, whoever ninja becames my opponent they GIVE UP right away. Damn." Sasuke said, shooking his head. The girls sweat-dropped.
"Who would even want to fight someone who only says 'Hn'?" Sakura joked.
"And then after that, they're all smacked." Ino ended. The two girls gave a high 5.
"So, how was the compo writing?" Sasuke asked.
"Well, good." Sakura replied.
"Sakura-chan! I passed! Yay to me!" Naruto said. Neji and Shikamaru followed.
"Congrats."
