"Lalala," Sakura sang gleefully around the kitchen as she opened the fridge. "No leftovers?" she said in a whimpered tone, "Gosh, if only I can cook." Her stomach grumbled and she frowned while her hands searched for an already prepared meal.
The door swung open and Sakura leaped to a corner nipping on her nails; surprised.
Mom's not supposed to be home till midnight. She closed her eyes ready for death, her body frail as she said her prayers.
"Sakura-Chan! Have you had anything to eat yet?" a familiar voice sing songed as light footsteps headed towards the frightened cherry blossom. Sakura's mother looked at her baby and embraced her tightly.
"Oh my, did I give you the creeps?"
Sakura's teary eyes looked into her mother's cheerful possession as she returned the hug.
An unfamiliar odor arose through the room and the two instantly perked up. Blazes filled throughout the whole room, it was hell on Earth. Every object in the fire's path burned to nothing but ashes once touched by the scarlet mess.
Sakura dashed outside the house and panted towards a safe distance but when she looked for her mother's comfort it was not laid in front of her.
"MOTHER! MOM!"
Sakura's knees trembled and fell to the ground weeping. Not far off, she could hear the loud siren of the fire truck, ambulance, and police car. A half-smile crept on her face before she was knocked into a sudden nap.
"Save her..."
xXxXx
"Glad your finally awake," the high pitched tone that belonged to her mother said and patted her daughter's back.
"Mom?" Sakura yawned and she threw her arms around the slim figure. "Mom your alright!"
Her mother smirked and patted her daughter's back. She paid the taxi driver as she opened the door.
"We'll be staying with my childhood friend Saku-Chan, now behave and don't cause them any disturbance. I know you'll do fine," she explained and rang the doorbell.
"What's her name?"
"His, Sakura, His name is Sora Uchiha."
Uchiha!??!?!?! No, it's not that small of a world.
