Music Brings Us Together

Chapter 2

When Tragedy Strikes


The years went by since Sakura's first performance in front of the Uchihas. Every Friday, since then, the Harunos would always perform at exactly 7:00 at Haruno Happiness. Sakura would always go last and everybody loved the way she closed the show. She got a little closer to Sasuke and all the girls at school would get SO JEALOUS! But Sakura was still able to make some friends of her own, and they didn't care if she was close with Sasuke or not. The only thing they cared about was what she was inside, and that's all Sakura asked for. But, the day after Sakura turned sixteen, everything fell apart.
Sakura had just had the best birthday bash of her life! The whole Uchiha clan was there, her friends were there, and, of course, her family. They had a lot of fun. Everybody did some karaoke and DDR, ate a lot of delicious food, and watched Sakura's face as the day went by. So, when she woke up the next day, she had a big smile on her face. She got out of bed, much like when she was eight years old, and ran to the kitchen. She expected her parents, Satomi and Daichi Haruno, and her twenty one other siblings. But they weren't there. All she found was a note on the kitchen counter. It said:

Dear Sakura,

We have received a letter telling us to leave the village with all the necessities needed to live and all our possessions. We begged to take you along, but they wouldn't let us. We're very sorry that this happened to you right after your birthday. We want you to live the Uchihas for now. Until we come back, at least. We will keep in touch with you every other week. Keep in touch with us, k? Remember, we all love you.

Love,

Mom

Sakura couldn't believe her eyes. Her family had to leave the village with no questions asked. So many questions popped into her mind. Why did they have to leave? Why wouldn't the people that had to send them away take her with them? Sakura fell to her knees, crying. Her hand that held the letter in it was balled up into a fist. She got up and went to the phone. She dialed the number to the Uchiha residence.

"Hello? Mikoto Uchiha speaking." Said the voice on the other line.

"Auntie Mikoto? I need your help." Sakura said, trying not to sound like she was crying.

"Why, is this Sakura? What happened? I'll be there right away." Mikoto said, without letting Sakura answer her questions.


At the Uchiha residence, Mikoto was trying to get her family to leave the house with her to go to the Harunos.

"Why, mom? What is it? Why are we going to the Harunos' house? Did something happen?" Sasuke asked at once, while he was putting on his shoes.

"No time to explain, Sasuke, now come on!" Mikoto exclaimed. They all exited the house and ran to the Haruno residence. When they got there, they knocked on the door. Sakura answered it and it looked as if she was crying.

"What is it, Sakura? Did something happen?" Mikoto asked, like she did on the phone. Sakura nodded her head and hugged Mikoto. Mikoto tried to shush the wilting cherry blossom. When Sakura calmed down, she let them in the house. She led them to the living room and showed them the letter. Sakura was sobbing quietly. After they all read the letter, they all gasped. Sakura's sobs turned into tears. Sasuke noticed this and gave Sakura a comforting hug. Sakura cried and cried on Sasuke's shirt. Sasuke didn't mind, though. He had a very big crush on Sakura, but would never tell anybody. Mikoto went to the kitchen to make her some of her favorite green tea. Fugaku and Itachi were in deep thought about who could have sent them away. When Sakura stopped crying, she drank the tea Mikoto gave her.

"If you want Sakura, you can live with us." Mikoto offered.

"Well, those were mother's orders. She asked me to stay with you for now." Sakura said. Sasuke was filled with joy inside, but could never show it. But the Uchihas noticed something different about the cherry blossom. The glow in her eyes that made them shine was gone.


Sakura-Chan: AWW! Poor Sakura! Don't worry! Sasuke-Kun will take good care of you! Please review and no flames please! Again, sorry if it's too short! Ja ne!
