DREAM BITTER SWEET DREAM
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA-CHAN!" now 7 year old Sakura smiled as she heard he mother sing to her over the phone.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS LITTLE BIRTHDAY GIRL!" ha and people asked all the time, 'where did Sakura get her loud mouth from?' You can practically hear her mothers voice all around the cold and lonely mansion!
"Thank you Mommy! I just wish you'd be here to sing the 'Happy Birthday' song to me in person." deep down in Sakura's mind she knew it was like wishing for her to grow some wings and fly around like a fairy.
Sakura can already hear her mothers smile turn into a hesitant frown, "Baby, you know how Daddy's job is…" Sakura held the phone closer to her ears trying not to drop it in disappointment. "Yes ma'am, I know"
"Tell you what. Once this business trip is over and done with I promise you me and your father will go to the lake house!" her mother's voice once again cheery and hopeful over the phone. Sakura's eyes brightened up a bit but she was still feeling very disappointed. "Really mommy?" Sakura tried to hide her angry tantrum that was dying to just come out. I mean who wouldn't be angry? She hasn't had her parents on her birthday since she turned 5! She felt as though her parents were putting their jobs before their only daughter!
"Yes! And to make things better. I'll also take you to get your favorite ice cream!" her mother, oblivious to Sakura's masked emotions, tried her best to make things better for the both of them.
Sakura gave up masking her emotions, "Mommy, I just want you and daddy here home with me." She was very disappointed she couldn't hide it any longer.
Her mother sighed, "Awe honey, don't get mad, your father and I will be home as soon as tomorrow, sweetie I promise." That's one thing about the Haruno family, they have been taught to never break a promise, although there is a saying against it. And now Sakura didn't want to put up with it.
"Mom that's what you said last year! Even though you did come by that time I was asleep and we didn't go anywhere until three days after you arrived!" Sakura could feel tears fall from her eyes as she stared at the wall in anger.
"I'm sorry honey, please understand-"
"I DON'T WANNA! MOMMY I JUST WANT YOU HERE WITH ME!" Sakura couldn't control her sobs, she knew she was being selfish. But she missed her parents so much they've been gone for almost an entire week.
"Calm down Saku-chan, where's Kakashi? Isn't he there with you?" Sakina was asking trying to change the subject.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT KAKASHI RIGHT NOW! MOMMY PLEASE COME BACK! IT'S NOT FAIR! I WANT YOU HERE WITH ME NOW!" Sakura pleaded suddenly feeling her stomach knot together like she was afraid or paranoid.
"Saku-" but the phone was taken away from Sakura's ear as Kakashi entered the living room where he heard Sakura yell at the top of her lungs.
"I'm sorry Sakina-sama, I thought it'd be best to give your daughter some privacy." Kakashi stayed silent as Sakina was talking to him.
"Yes Ma'am… right away" he took Sakina's orders as if she was there in person telling him what to do. He sure was a loyal bodyguard.
Sakura sobbed harder knowing she won't have her mom with her any time soon. That thought only made her a bit more mad. Kakashi was about to hang up the phone when Sakura took it and yelled, "I HATE YOU MOMMY! I HATE YOU AND DADDY FOR ALWAYS PUTTING YOUR JOB BEFORE YOUR ONE AND ONLY DAUGHTER! I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE YOU!"
Sakura felt her mother gasp in shock over the phone, "Saku-" Sakura just hung up the phone.
Kakashi stared at her wide eyed, "Sakura-sama I've never seen you-"
Sakura just glared at him, "…leave me alone…" Kakashi was about to protest but Sakura only turned away. "Fine if you don't leave, then I will."
That night Sakura cried her self to sleep, with Kakashi standing outside her room.
The next day, Sakura must have called her mothers' cell phone a dozen times, her fathers' like 20 times, even their business phones.
"They're not picking up Kakashi!" Sakura shouted as she hung up the phone.
Kakashi stared at her, "Well maybe they're mad at you for raising your voice to your mother."
Sakura looked away from him, "Well… I was mad… and I wanted to apologize so things could be better."
Kakashi sat down in a seat next to her, "How could you even think that you're parents would put their jobs before the most incredible little girl?" even though Sakura was staring at her feet as if they were the weirdest things on earth, she could feel Kakashi's smile grace his face.
Sakura smiled and looked at him, "Really?" Kakashi just nodded at her a small 'yes'. Sakura then got up and hugged Kakashi, "Thank you!"
"No prob-" then his own cell phone rang. Never in his 6 years of working for the Haruno family has he had a phone call from the head of his department. "Uchiha corps Agent Hatake Kakashi speaking, at your services."
Sakura went back to picking up her house phone to dial her mothers digits, when she heard Kakashi give a slight gasp.
'what's this feeling? Since my tantrum my stomach has been in knots…' she heard a small thud on the floor. When she looked over at Kakashi to see what was wrong, she saw him staring into space tears running down his face.
'…I'm sorry…' she heard the person on the other line say. She looked over and Kakashi dropped his cell phone.
"Kakashi, is everything alright?" then she heard the voice over his cell phone say something she couldn't believe.
'Haruno Kira and Haruno Sakina have been brutally murdered… please give my regards to the young-' Kakashi picked up the phone before Sakura could hear any more.
Sakura's heart felt like it stopped beating, she felt a cold heat run through her body as it went numb, "Ka-kas-" She couldn't speak for there was a hugh knot in her throat.
Kakashi knelt down before her. "Sakura, I'm so sor-"
Tears were now running down her face, "No, No NO! TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE!" she wanted to hit something.
Kakashi tried to hold her as she started to hit him repeatedly on his chest, "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! MOMMY! NO PLEASE! TELL ME THEY'RE COMING HOME TODAY! KAKASHI PLEASE!" she cried so hard.
Kakashi just cried silently with her holding her as tight as he could.
For the next three days, after the funeral, Sakura still felt numb as she saw her parent's caskets went 10 feet under the earth's surface. Kakashi stood by her side still holding on to her cold pale hand.
Most of the time they were there Sakura was greeted by some of her fathers workers and some other business men, Sakura didn't want to bother looking at them or even say anything. She just wanted to be held my her mother once again.
Suddenly her small hands found their way around the small silver pendent her father had given her a few weeks ago. After the funeral, she found herself laying down on her bed with Kakashi sitting next to her comforting her.
"Sakura, I will take care of things ok?" Kakashi was at loss of words.
"She promised…" she bearly whispered.
Kakashi was surprised, it was the first time she had spoken since she found out about her parent's death, "What was that?"
Sakura angerly stared at the happy family portrait inside the locket still tied around her neck, tears once again started to pour out, "My mother promised she'd be back, and take me out to the lake h-house and e-eat ice c-" she broke down in sobs.
Kakashi then held her in his arms for hours to come not knowing how to make it seem better for Sakura.
Sakura, since her parents death, blocked all the maids out and sometimes even gave Kakashi the could shoulder. She soon found herself in a court room, full of her father's business partners and co-workers and plain greedy business men, just to hear her parent's will.
She sat next to Kakashi holding tight to his arm, she didn't want to be here, she wanted to be home with the puppy Kakashi had gotten her a few days ago, Rascal. The entire time they were there the judge kept talking and soon lost Sakura's attention. She was totally spaced out when she'd hear the greedy selfish men stand in anger and protest against the judge. Kakashi only held her closer as if they'd hurt her.
Yet still she didn't want to listen. Then she felt Kakashi grip her small hand, that caused her to focus on him when she barely heard the judge speak, she was still dozing off into space.
"But until then she'll have access… 18 years old… foster home…orphanage."
Sakura was then brought back to reality when she felt Kakashi rise up.
"No, as Sakura's personal bodyguard I demand for Sakura's custody!" Sakura has never seen Kakashi so frantic, talk about a professional bodyguard.
"I'm sorry but right now it seems like your attentions are only for her inheritance. Guards, take the girl." then he made his final statement and pounded his gavel.
Kakashi then shoved Sakura behind him, "No you can't take her! I won't allow it! I promised!" then a lot of court police men started to tackle him.
"Kakashi-kun? What's going on?" Sakura was still in a daze.
"Come on Sweetie you're coming with me." a female police grabbed her and started to escort her away, "No! I want to be with Kakashi!" Sakura started to argue as she started running to Kakashi who was now being held back by two huge security guards.
"Sakura! Run!" Kakashi pleaded.
Sakura was about to make a run for it when the same female picked her up and was going to take her away.
"KAKASHI! PLEASE MAKE HER STOP! I DON'T WANNA GO! LET ME GO YOU STUPID WOMAN!" Sakura began to kick and punch anyone and everyone around even the female police carrying her.
"SAKURA! I WILL FIND YOU! AND WE'LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN! I PROMISE!" Kakashi managed to yell when one of the securities knocked him out.
"KAKASHI!" then she saw her parents smiling faces staring at her behind the Securities taking a now unconscious Kakashi out of the court room. Her mothers voice then came in to her mind.
'We love you…'
Gasping for air Sakura rouse up. Breathing heavy she felt tears running down her face. 'damn the same dream' she took note that her hands were shaky and sweating with cold sweat. As she sighed slightly not wanting to wake her roomies he looked at the time. 'Hm 4 in the morning. Happy 17th Birthday Sakura' with that she sighed once more as she took out her silver rusting locket to look at her family once more before falling back to sleep.
'love you too mom and dad. I miss you Kakashi.' then she fell back asleep.
