Hello again! See I told ya that I would update quickly! Some of the characters will have their own pov, like Sakura. She plays a big part in this story not a bad part but a good part.

Sakura POV
It was closing time for 'The Cherry Blossom' café where a pink haired woman was with her last customer for today.
"The food was delicious, Mrs. Haruno. I don't know how you do it," complemented the man as he gave the woman a pleasant smile.
"I really don't know how I do it either; it just comes to me. It's a mystery," she giggled, giving him her genuine smile.
"Well I think you deserve this, young lady," exclaimed the man, placing a 10-dollar tip in her cream colored hand. The man waved good bye and exited the café.
"Thank you sir! Come again!" she chirped waving to the departing man.
Once the man was gone, she gave out a deep sigh. "Woo, that was the last one; I thought I was going to die today" she sighed, placing her huge tip into her jean pocket. Who would've ever known that "The Cherry Blossom café" would receive so much attention? When she fist opened the business she had her friends help her with it. Even though they got on her nerves, they still made her believe in her small café. After one week, she have over two hundred costumers, and she even got to make deliveries! Her friends helped her through the times when she had to take care of Harumi and couldn't work at the café. She had to admit, she made the right choice of giving up her old crush and finally giving Lee a chance. Yeah Rock Lee wasn't that much of a looker, but he was kind and melted her heart with his sweet complements and crazy antics that proved his love for her.
At first, she had thought that he was just some weird kid, with an obsession with physical fitness, that had a crush on her. It turns out that she was wrong; well except for the obsession with fitness and his crush on her. Her friend, Naruto, finally got them together after Christmas break. They began dating in their freshman year at high school, and after a few dates, she began to truly love him for whom he really was. Lee proposed to her in the middle of her freshman year of college, which caught her by surprise. She realized however, that ever since she began dating him, her attitude had gentled and she began to see people for their true selves. The thing that changed the most for her was the way she saw Lee. So her answer for him was yes. The two got married in Kyoto, Japan. Ino was her maid of honor; Neji was Lee's best man. Their honeymoon was in Italy. It was very romantic. But the best part of the couple's life, was the birth of their now three-year-old daughter, Harumi. She was their little princess.
"Mommy, are you done with work?" shouted a little girl covered with flour. She ran towards her mother who giggled at the sight of her daughter.
"What happened to you? There's flour all over you." Sakura tried to dust some of the flour off of her daughter.
"I was baking cupcakes," the little girl answered, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Her mother sighed, knowing that would be the reason.
Sakura checked the girl for burns and sighed in relief when she saw there weren't any. At least she didn't get burned like last time. Sakura took her daughter's hand and led her to the kitchen to get cleaned up. Sakura washed her daughter, getting most of the flour. Afterwards, she began to clean up the mess that her daughter had made. The knock at the door perked the woman up from cleaning the mess.
"Can you see who it is, Harumi?" asked Sakura wiping the counter that was covered with cupcake icing and flour.
The little girl ran out of the kitchen to do her mother's task, and squealed at the sight of whom it was. Sakura immediately ran out of the kitchen at the sound of her daughter's squeal. When she saw what it was, Sakura immediately skidded to a halt. Sakura stifled her giggles at the scene. A blond man had her daughter on his shoulders with his arms straight out, making airplane sounds, while Harumi squealed in delight.
"Mommy, uncle Naru's an airplane!" squealed Harumi, waving her arms at her mom in glee.
"You still act like a kid, you know that?" Sakura told Naruto.
"Well that's me, Naruto Uzumaki; Kid at heart," exclaimed Naruto, hitting his chest with his fist. Sakura rolled her eyes. He let the girl down and tickled the space under the chin, making her giggle in delight.
"Wow Sakura she looks just like you," exclaimed Naruto as he looked from the daughter to the mother. He was right. Harumi had short glossy pink hair, peach colored skin, dazzling emerald eyes, and that sweet atmosphere about her. The only thing that was different was that Sakura had long pink hair that fell to the middle of her back. Sakura's hair was currently in a ponytail.
"You're going to be as beautiful as your mother when you get older, you know that?" Naruto tapped the little girl's nose, making her giggle.
"I get to look like mommy when I get older?" she asked with awe. When the blond nodded, she clasped her hands in glee.
"Maybe I should ask Lee how beautiful Sakura is," added Naruto while taking out his phone. Immediately, Sakura snatched the cell phone out of the blonde's hand and glared at him with fire in her eyes.
"Try to do that ever again and I will kill you," she threatened, tossing him back his phone while giving him the evil eye.
Sheesh, you take things too seriously," scoffed Naruto backing up a few steps away from the murderous glare.
"Do you want another lump on your head?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at the blond man. He shook his head no and tried to hide behind the little girl.
"I don't know if that's going to work, Uncle Naru," proclaimed Harumi, looking at the man over her shoulder and giggling at his effort.
"Yeah I know, but you're mom can get scary at times like this."
'That's because you're the person that causes these times," she huffed while sticking out her tongue at Naruto.
Even when they were young, he riled her up. But at that time he had a crush on her. He was always flirting with her and asking her out. But she was like other girls in that time in Konoha when Sasuke was still here. She was the leader of Sasuke's fan club since elementary to freshman year of high school. Everything changed when she noticed vibes between Naruto and Sasuke. She got tired of them avoiding their love for each other and finally told them to stop hiding their feelings. She was so happy when she found out that they were going to date. But when Sasuke left with his dad abroad to study aboard, Naruto gave up on waiting for him. She comforted him when Sasuke left. Then, Naruto met Gaara and the two began to date, then became engaged. Sometimes Sakura wondered if he was really over Sasuke. She looked over at the man and sighed.
"I should go before Sakura really does give me a lump," chuckled Naruto as he said goodbye to the little girl.
"You have to leave so early?" Sakura asked. She wanted to cook something for him.
"I have to get to the publishing company so Granny Tsunade won't kill me for being late with the manuscript," informed Naruto, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Okay, but please don't rile her up," warned Sakura giving, him a look. The man just grinned. He waved bye to her and her daughter and left the café.
He's going to be in so trouble she thought, sighing deeply. There was another knock at the door, making her giggle. "Naruto, if you really don't want to be killed by Tsunade, think that you should leave," proclaimed Sakura turning around, expecting to see Naruto. It was not Naruto, however, that was currently standing in front of her.
"Sa-suk-e!" she stuttered, her eyes growing wide at the sight of the raven hair man.
"Long time no see, Sakura. Where's Naruto?" asked the raven hair man staring at her with his obsidian eyes.
He's back she thought, too shocked to say anything.
