Pairings: Sasusaku, unknown, unknown

Quiet whimpers filled the whole room, its sounds bouncing against the four corners of the secluded place…

…In a place where two walls joined and where the moonlight barely touched its surface, sat a child who shed crystal-like tears filled with pain. Her emerald orbs glassy and red and fluffy.

A cankering feeling erupted in her full lips and her hair was disheveled and unkempt.

She tried to stop her overflowing emotion, trying to bit back the sobs and hiccups that might erupt from her throat because… she knows that though she was still 6 and a half years old, and young and innocent and naïve, her endless showing of weakness won't stop the pain.

And though she was only a child, she knew full well that she was a traitor since birth. A disgrace to a prestigious clan that is known for their onyx eyes and jet-black hair…

A disgrace that bore eyes whose depths were emerald and whose scintilla was neither mysterious nor intimidating but instead was full of happiness…

A disgrace…

She shook her head miserably, eying the only view the opened-ajar door has to offer.

She quietly thanked her distant cousins for forgetting to close the door because of their anger and so now, she was able to see the night sky of the Christmas Eve, and her eyes somewhat sparkled as the first Christmas snow flakes decided to share its beauty to the earth.

It was her first Christmas alone, and though her parents readied and prepared her for it, she couldn't accept the fact now that she's experiencing it.

Her attention was then caught by a shadow lurking from behind the traditional door; its posture was that of a shy lad hiding.

A giggle escaped her mouth when the boy hesitantly met her eyes with his behind the door, his tiny hands in his pocket, holding something which surface is that of a velvet one.

A tiny smile reached his lips when he invited himself in with, dare I say it, slow, hesitant and shy steps towards the girl who had cried in the corner. He studied her, observed her and that was when he noticed something… Her eyes were bounded by tribulation, her lips dry with sorrow, and her cheeks swollen from a previous slap, her hair messy and unkempt and disheveled.

He eyed her as she shyly removed her pink stray locks that almost covered her features, and that was when he caught the scrapes and scratches and bruises on her tiny arms and legs. His eyes were then illuminated by determination as he rushed to her side and moved for her aid.

His instinct told him to remove the clean bandages he wrapped around his arm that served to bite out the cold.

As he was rolling it around her arms, Sakura shook her head softly and held his arm, telling him to stop before someone sees. Sasuke, being Sasuke, glared at her before continuing on his work. After making sure the bandage was not too tight or not too loose, he kissed it softly.

He smiled at her when his orbs caught her questioning stare. "Okaa-san told me that a kiss can make the pain go away."

He smiled once more when she looked pleased with his answer. He then brought her head on his lap, seeing how tired she looked.

When he saw that she was comfortable already, he started speaking. "I always see you by the lake. I always see you cry under a cherry blossom tree during spring, I always see you smile sadly at the falling leaves during fall, I see you peek from your house's window during fall and..."

He turned to her, and their eyes met. Both had a different smile on their face, Sasuke had a sad smile while Sakura had a longing smile as she listened to his every words. "...And I always see you crying in a corner in here, the main house, every winter."

He took her hand and shook it, "I'm Uchiha Sasuke. What's your name?"

In a weak voice, she muttered, "Sakura Uchi--" her eyes softened. "Sakura Haruno."

His eyes twinkled with inspiration; his anger gave light to his dark orbs when flashbacks returned to his memory… And then… Almost suddenly, he smiled…

"Nice to meet you, Sakura Haruno Uchiha-chan…"

Sasuke cast a hopeless gaze at the sleeping young girl on his lap. Casting a small smile at her, he reached out for his pocket and withdrew a white gold necklace he'd been saving for her this Christmas.

Its silver cherry blossom petal locket caught his attention once he noticed its scintilla from the corner of his eyes.

When he observed it in a closer proximity, he remembered the girl with bubblegum hair who used to cry in different places depending on the season.

He remembered that girl -who was currently resting on his lap- who the people from his clan considered a disgrace because of her pink hair and emerald eyes that she inherited from her mother, the pride of the Haruno clan.

He brushed away a lone tear that left her sleeping eyes, then stared at the night sky of Christmas eve… His eyes then softened as he succumb into the darkness of sleep and the light brought about by his dreamland...

'Click.'

He was woken up by the constant calling of his name by his relatives. He knew it was time for the gathering of the representatives for every house and since his family is the pride of the Uchiha clan, his whole family must attend.

Making her comfortable in a futon, tucking her in and giving one last kiss on her bandaged arm, he walked away with a contented smile.

Through her closed eyes, Sakura Haruno Uchiha smiled at her sleep. Her subconscious mind made her lips smile for no reason and was currently celebrating at the fact that she had her first new found friend who technically was her 2nd-3rd cousin…

"Sasuke-kun..."
