Author's note: here's chapter two…hope you enjoy it!
THE NEXT day I headed out of the city and in the general direction of my mother's house. I parked into her driveway and turned off my car. I got out of my car and headed for my mother's front door but I spotted Mrs. Uchiha, Sasuke's mother sitting on her front porch across from my old house and I waved at her. "Hi, Mrs. Uchiha!" I shouted and she smiled brightly and waved back towards me, her beautiful face lit up. "How are you?" She asked and I smiled back and shrugged, "I'm good…but work's a bit shaky." I admitted walking towards the gate which led to the front porch. "Oh, poor dear. Don't you worry it will get better." She said and I nodded slowly as I pulled my handbag more comfortably onto my shoulder.
"Say Sakura, do you know how Sasuke and Daisuke are?" She asked and I opened the gate and stepped inside, my eyes averting Mrs. Uchiha's while I felt my face begin to heat up. "Um yeah, they're doing good. Dai's looking more like Sasuke with each passing day." I stated closing the gate and she agreed, "well, I'll see you later…gotta see how my mom's doing." I said and she nodded. "Okay, you take care of yourself now!" She advised and I nodded. "Sure will," I replied before I headed towards the house.
"Mom!" I shouted as I stepped through the front door and began to remove my coat and hung it on the coat rack along with my handbag before I quickly looked through the downstairs rooms before I decided to climb the staircase. The house smelled just how it always had, like freshly baked bread mixed with sweet perfume ever since I was six the house had smelt this way. "Mom! Its me Sakura, I'm here to visit you!" I shouted as I climbed the staircase and headed down the hall and towards my mother's bedroom.
"Mom?" I called as I pushed the door open and stepped inside. There was no one inside the bedroom and I groaned agitatedly. She had to be here, she never went anywhere ever since my dad had died. "Mom!" I shouted loudly flailing my arms about.
"Sakura, why are you so loud?" My mom asked and I turned around and stared at her. She was terrifyingly thin and her graying hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail as she stood before me holding a pile of clean towels in her hands. "Mom…I'm sorry it's just, Kami you look so thin!" I blurted out and once it left my lips my eyes widened and I stared at her pleadingly. "Sakura, please." She said seriously and I sighed, "mom, please…you have to come live with me." I said but her face hardened and she spoke before I could. "I will not leave this house." She said and I groaned, "okay, if you won't come live with me. At least, eat something." I said and my mom sighed as she turned on her heels and headed towards the linen closet.
"Mom, please…listen to me." I pleaded and she ripped the linen closet's door open. "There's nothing to listen to, my answer is no." She replied stubbornly and I groaned as I headed back downstairs and grabbing my things I left.
I rapped on Sasuke's front door and within a few minutes the door opened and I stared at the Uchiha. "Hey…do you mind if I come in?" I asked and he shook his head, "no, course not." He said stepping back to allow me access. I slipped inside and Sasuke took off my coat and hung it on the rack beside Daisuke's. "Aunt Sakuwa!" Daisuke shouted as I walked into the living room and he ran towards me and locked himself around my legs. "Hi honey, how are you today?" I asked sweetly and he smiled brightly showing off his small teeth. I bent down and kissed his cheek and ruffled his soft spikes. "Dai, can daddy and I talk for awhile?" I asked and he looked confused for a moment before he ran off towards his bedroom and I turned to face Sasuke.
I had always felt close to him, and that allowed me to tell him everything and that's exactly what I did. I told Sasuke about my mom and how I thought it would be best for her to move in with me. I sighed softly as I looked at my watch. "I better get going, I've got to stop by the prison and visit Kin before dark." I said getting up and so did Sasuke. "Bye," I said as I slipped on my coat and grabbed my handbag, "bye Sakura." He said and I stared into his onyx orbs. "Sasuke, I really think we should talk about…US." I practically whispered and Sasuke smirked before he leaned forward and claimed my lips before we pulled apart. "We will…when you're not so preoccupied." He whispered and I smiled before I leaned forward and kissed him again.
My luck was just great. As soon as I had gotten out of the prison it had began to snow, and the sky had darkened considerably. I groaned as I sat in the middle of a traffic jam, not thinking twice I turned on my lights and switched onto a deserted street. I drove by an old abandoned library, one I had loved to visit when I was younger. For some strange and unexplainable reason, I pulled over and got out of my car. Hugging my coat closer to my body, I strolled up to the front steps and climbed them. My footsteps echoed against the cool stone floor as I examined the old building. It was and old structure and the window panes were missing.
Wooden boards covered the glass doors, but I decided to go in through a broken window. Inside was dark and empty. Long library tables still sat towards the middle of the floor, and the tall bookshelves stood tall and bare. A small smile graced my lips as I was flooded by good old memories I had had back before my life became unbearable. There was a loud crash, before a single streak of light leaked out from behind a closed door. The thought of it probably being some gangsters ran through my head but I dismissed it as I slowly walked towards the door. "Hello?" I called and my voice echoed as I neared the door. Taking a deep breath, I turned the doorknob and I was blinded by a blinding white light.
