You have to do something about it, Sarada. You're the child. Only you can figure this out!
Alright. " Mama, can I skip classes today?"
" Huh? Skip classes? What's wrong, baby? " Her mother, Uchiha Sakura, runs from the living room to attend to her daughter's accidental need in the table munching at her favourite egg with tomatoes meal for breakfast. " Is Boruto teasing you again of your identified "idolism" for Naruto or what?"
Sarada pushes the brim of her glasses and pouts. " No, mom, it's not like that- and-and I don't have a crush on seventh hokage-sama!"
"Okay. . . Well, what is it then, dear? " A rustling of chair emits as Sakura finally settles at the other side of the table right in front of Sarada. " Father-withdrawal symptoms again?"
" What- mom! What's with all your weird ideas?! Yes, I miss papa but I am not sick! Geez!"
Her mother laughs through her tantrums.
" Well-ah- I guess it comes in line with that. " Sarada sheepishly mutters, squeezing the life out of her emptied glass of milk.
" Comes in line with what? With your father?" Her mother is now curious.
" Erm. . . "
Oh my gosh. Should I say it? Should I? Or is it better perhaps to keep this whole façade a secret and first identify some evidences to prove my investigation? Well it is true and I am pretty sure of my assumptions, but just in case! Just in case it failed, it won't be much of a problem and Boruto and Mitsuki will not make me a laughing-stock after this.
And I better be careful with my words. Cause even a bit of hesitation from it and mother, with all her glory motherly keen eyes, will suspect something. This will go to papa of course.
I don't want papa to go home with unfinished business just because of my selfish reasons.
But. . . How will I gather evidences without papa?! Idiot me.
Well then, I guess, Inner-Sarada it is. Father cannot resist if it is dire, I know. No- this is indeed dire. Mama and papa's relationship is deteriorating into a merely title of husband and wife! I don't want it! But I never see them proving their bond, besides conversing about god-knows-what.
This is my mission! And I must-in all my fairness and discreet- NOT fail!
"Sarada-dear?"
" Oh! Uh- Uhm. . . I just. . .okay I admit, I- I miss papa- again. " My inner Sarada does it good, adding that melancholy-like pitch. I'd never do that in front of my parents, no, not with this Uchiha blood flowing in my body, strongly influencing my character, but there is frankly no choice.
" I knew it." Mama takes a moment to deliberate with herself, and my feet start to sweat from all the tension in the air. Only when mama stands up, that I raise my head for question.
My mama smiles. " I have been. . . I have been missing your father too, so I think we should give it a shot. Let us send your father a letter, hm?"
Bingo!
It makes my heart swell because I was not expecting mama's confession. Really, her sweetness could not be compare to any and papa is so so so lucky. Well, of course, without them, I am not here so. . .
"Really? Great!"
Phase one of my self-mission: Success!
Hi there, everyone!
So, I am quite late with these SasuSaku fandoms, but I am absolutely in love with their ship! (and Sarada too keke)
And I totally love Sakura now. She is beyond words, a very wise-improved character. Her development was really nice. No haters can influence me on this.
I mean, why you hating on Sakura? :( Like- come on, she saved a lot of lives, you know.
Anyway, I hope you like this sneak peak! :) Uchiha family will be reunited next chapter! Please stay tune~
