I don't own Naruto
Never Again
Chapter 2
Thank you soooo much for all the positive feedback! I had some issues and the rough draft of this story deleted itself! D: but here is this one! However, it's only what I remember, so it'll most likely be worse… sorry guys!

"Mommy! Mommy!" An eight year old girl ran up to Sakura Haruno. "Can I go play wiff Lizzy?" She asked.
"Is Lizzy's mother there?" Her mother replied. She scanned the crowd at the park until she found Lizzy's mother.
"Hey, Roseanne," Sakura said, walking up to her, "Would you look after Saki while she plays with Lizzy? I've got a pretty bad headache."
"Of course!" Roseanne replied. "It's because you're working too much, you know. Two jobs, and a full-time mom. It's gotta be killing you!" Sakura shrugged.
After Saki was done playing with her friend, he mother took her by the hand and led her out of the park.
"Are we gonna go to the dress store mommy?" Saki asked.
"No, honey," her mother replied, "We need to go grocery shopping, and you need a haircut!"
The dress store, as Saki called it, was a small boutique in Manhattan. Inside waited a dress. A dress that might never be purchased. Saki thought her mother looked beautiful in the dress, and told the woman at the counter never to sell just one of the dress.
The dress was a deep pink that cut off several inches above Sakura's knees. There was a sweetheart neckline and no sleeves. The dress was purposely crunched up in the stomach area. Just about every single time they went into town, Sakura would try it on.
The grocery store was a bargain place, worlds apart from the fanciness of the boutique. A woman rang them up with tired eyes, robotically saying "Thanks for shopping with us." before the pair left. It was a work day, this Tuesday, so there weren't many other people on the streets.
Sakura took her daughter into the small hair salon and was greeted with,
"Hey! Sakura! How's it going?"
"Hey, Bethany. Pretty good. Finally caught a couple days off both my jobs, so I've been hanging out with Saki, even if I had to pull her out of school." Saki giggled.
"So, what do you want done to your hair, Saki?" Bethany asked, sitting Saki down in the chair.
"Just cut it to her shoulders," Sakura said. Bethany nodded.
As Saki sat in the chair and watched her raven black hair drop the the ground with her onyx eyes, she couldn't help but wonder where she got the colors from. Her mother had pink hair and green eyes. Saki was the complete opposite of that. She giggled to herself.
About three hours earlier, Sakura Haruno had gone to the bathroom and left Saki in the care of Rosalyn. Saki had wandered off a little bit and a man had come up to her.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha," he said. "I'm your father."
"You are?" Saki's eyes filled up with wonder.
"I am. But, you can't tell mommy you met me, okay? She probably wouldn't be happy about it." He handed his daughter some candy he'd bought her.
"Thanks, daddy." Saki said, smiling brightly. Sasuke kissed the top of his daughter's head. He opened his mouth, closed it and opened it again.
"Bye, sweetie." He said, standing up and walking out of the park, disappearing into the misty Tuesday afternoon.
"Alright! All done!" Bethany said, setting Saki back down on the floor.
"Thanks so much." Sakura said, getting out her wallet. She paid the fee and walked to Saki. She looked down at her daughter and swore she saw Sasuke Uchiha staring up at her.

*le gasp*
Sasuke is back in the story after the beginning of a chapter but technically almost eight years! Is it strange that Saki so willingly believes him?
