28th May, Saturday

It's a very beautiful morning, I woke up to the sound of birds singing outside my window. I'm got a feeling that something good will happen today, and was in a good mood, as usual, I could already smell food that my mother is cooking from the kitchen. My feet walk by itself to my door but I remembered that I should go take a bath first. My hair looks like a mess!

So, I bathe and got dressed. I was combing my hair when I heard the doorbell rang. I almost jumped when I heard it. I finished combing my hair when I heard my mother answer the door and said hello to the visitor. If I'm not mistaken, the guest is a she. I skipped to my door and opened it. But once I got outside, I was being sneaky, hoping that my mother didn't noticed. I tip-toe to the living room and hide behind a wall. Thank goodness my mother didn't noticed. I glance at them, it's weird spying on my mother, I never did that before... At first I focused on what they were saying, but then I noticed, that the guest already saw me and she smiled at me.

"I didn't know you had a daughter, Kitara. She's very pretty, you must be very proud." Kitara, that's my mother's name. Wait, daughter?! did she just said that? I glance back to see if she really is looking at me and to make sure if she really said what I think she just said. When I did, I saw two pair of eyes looking back at me. I gasp loud enough for them to hear, then my face started turning red. Oh my god! They saw me! I'm dead, I'm dead!! Those words keep repeating in my head as I close my eyes. I know mom, she will fire up when she caught me doing something rude. She's really strict and hard about manners and stuff.

It took a few seconds until I could feel a soft hand on my forehead. This was just like that day, the day when I first met this boy, Sasuke ..?.. um, uh, what's his surname? I can't remember. Okay then, like the first day I met this Sasuke,(I don't remember his last name) guy.. For a few seconds, I was half hoping that he was touching my forehead. I don't know why but half of me hoped that it was him, but the other half said, no it isn't Sakura! Stop day dreaming... there's no way it could be him. Why would he come to your house anyways? It could just be that guest or your mother getting ready to smack you!! I flinced at that thought and flash my eyes open to meet another emerald jade eyes. From that, I knew it was my mother..

"What are you doing, Sakura?" she ask me, still touching my forehead, but this time with her index finger. She made a circle on my forehead over and over again. I was scared. My eyes are wide, my face was much more red-er my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, and I was breathing heavily. My mom just smiled. It's funny, I always knew what my mother is smiling at. Why she's smiling,and the reason of it. But now, I don't. Her face was complicated. My eyes are locked on her angelic smile, I was surprise that it made her look more younger. But in the same time I was looking at her, I could still see the guest from the corner of my eyes.

She was standing gracefully in the background. I never noticed how beautiful she was. Her age was like 20, something, maybe she was the same age as my mom. I don't know.. But her face was beautiful. I couldn't tell if she was more prettier than my mom. But, my mother's face was more sweeter. You could tell that she's soft, kind and gentle just by looking at her face. But this lady is different, instead of emerald eyes, like my mother, she has dark onyx ones. Instead of pink, bubblegum hair, she has raven hair. Looks familiar in some way, but I'm sure I never met her before.

"Sakura, this is Mrs. Uchiha. Say hello to her." my mother finally said. I nodded, Uchiha? sounds familiar. I think I've heard it before, but where? I got up on my feet, walk up to Mrs. Uchiha. Smiled, and said; "Hello Mrs. Uchiha, nice to meet you. My name is Sakura." She looks very nice. But those eyes, onyx. They're like Sasuke's. Maybe they are related somehow...but many people have onyx eyes, so, it must have been just a coincidence.

"Hello Sakura, I'm Mikoto Uchiha, nice to meet you to." she said then turn back to face my mother. They talk about adult things so I don't have to bother listening. "Excuse me." I said before skipping back to my bedroom. I can't belief I got caught! Some lucky day!

20 minutes later, "Sakuraaa!!! Come down now please!!!" my mother yelled from downstairs. What's her problem? "I'm coming mom!!" I yelled back. As lazy as I am now, I manage to walk down the stairs without actually falling on my face or hit the wall beside me and fall over to hit the other wall. I walk past the kitchen to get to the living room. Then, I realized, that I didn't have breakfast yet. No wonder my stomach is always growling and yelling. Mmm..

"What is it mom?" I said, searching the room for Mrs. Uchiha with my half opened eyes. "Huh? Mrs. Uchiha already left?" I ask her, not feeling tired or hungry anymore. "No. She just came to give us an invitation to her house tonight." my mother replied calmly, and smiling. My eyes shot up as I heard her said that. "An invitation to her house? For what?" I ask her again and she smiled, again.

"Yes honey, she's inviting us to have dinner at her place tonight."

"Dinner? Wait, is she one of your friends?"

"Yes. Actually, she's my best friend."

"Then how come I've never met her before?"

"Yes, she just got back from a long mission. She's a ninja too you know..."

I was surprised at that fact. A sweet, soft woman like that could be a ninja? Well, my mother was a ninja too but she doesn't go to missions often. "Sakura? Are you okay?" my mother ask me, "I'm fine mom. I'm just-" I search my mind to find the correct excuse, "hungry, yeah, I'm just hungry, that's all, hungry." I said, smiling. My mother returned my smile and walk me to the kitchen.

"Uh, mummy..."

"Yes, sweetie?"

"She's married right?"

"Who are you talking about honey?"

"Mrs. Uchiha."

"Oh, Mikoto. Yes, she's married sweetheart, why?"

"Just wondering, does she have any kids?"

"Yup, she does. Two, actually. Two boys."

"Oh."

"What is it?"

"Nothing, mom."

"Oh, Sakura! I forgot to tell you!"

"What?"

"They will be joining us too. Well, half of them..."

"Huh? What do you mean half of them?"

"Her husband and her oldest son is on a mission. So, only her and the youngest will join us. He's about your age. Maybe you two

could be friends.."

"Hmm, I don't think so..." I said, while sitting at the table beside my mom. Eating breakfast. "Hmm, why's that?" I glance at her as soon as she said that. My eyes wide once again. "I'm not good at making friends." My voice is so soft, I think she didn't hear it. But, her curious face turned into concern ones, so I'm pretty sure she heard it..

"Oh, sweetheart, everything is going to be just fine. If you don't feel like making friends with him, you can stay with me while I talk with Mrs. Uchiha."

"Its okay mother, I'll survive." and with that, a little smile lit on my face. I hope he likes me, or at least doesn't hate me..

"You're a strong girl Sakura. Just like I raised you to to be. Strong, smart, and as beautiful as a cherry blossom. That was all a mother ever wanted for her child to have. And I'm proud to have you as my daughter Sakura. Even though you're such a brat sometimes." she said that through her beautiful smile. I smiled back, thanked her, and hugged her.

"Sakura?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you mind dropping by Mr. Shinterou's shop to buy eggs? This house seems to run out of them."

"Sure mom."

The day went well, after that. I went to Mr. Shinterou's shop and bought some eggs. Then, I dropped them at my house and continue to wander of at Konoha Streets. I enjoy my walk. Peace and quiet, even though the crowd in the background are making more noise than a group of elephants in the forest. They buzz like the bees too. I didn't care... I was walking at Konoha Park when I saw the sunset. It was beautiful, but then I realized that I must get home before sunset. Not just because its one of my mom's rules, but also because we have dinner with the Uchiha's tonight. And my mother hates to be late... for that reason I began running as fast as my feet could. I fell a few times but, as usual, I felt nothing. Just the fear of getting scold by my mom when I got home.

I knock the front door. Still breathing hard from running all the way home. My mother opened it and her face has an angry expression. I'm very scared now. My heart beat was crazy and my eyes are starting to water."Where in the world have you been young lady?!

"I was wa-"

"Come in and get ready this instant! And wash your hair! It looks like crap!"

"Y-yes m-mother." Now that went well, excellent! fantastic! I got ready as fast as I can. I took a shower, wear my best cloths and shoes. But I almost forget to comb my hair. Luckily I remembered before I walk out of my room. My mother looked beautiful, even though she was wearing her normal cloths. She tied her hair into a single bun, with a violet ribbon. Her dress was purple silk, with long sleeves and it reached the floor, very long, I almost didn't see her matching shoes. I'm not sure if she was wearing makeup but I think so because her cheeks are pink. Or is she nervous? Nah, it must be makeup.

When we got to the Uchiha's house, well, it was kind of like a mansion. Wow, they're rich. I looked at my mom, she was beautiful, like I said. But when I look down at myself, I look awful. I almost look like a guy. I was wearing long, baby pink pants and a white,long sleeved shirt. Plain, but I like it the way it was.

My mother rang the doorbell and in 2 seconds, Mrs. Uchiha answered it. When, we entered the house or mansion, Mrs. Uchiha lead us the living room first. My mom talk with her a little, then her son came in. He sat beside his mother, staring at me, and smirking. I gasp as I realized that he was Sasuke! Sasuke's last name is Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha. No wonder I heard that name before... So that means, Mrs. Uchiha, is his mother! Oh how stupid am I?!

There was to things that I'm feeling now. I was relived that it was him. But at the same time, regret. Why didn't I just make an excuse not to come to this dinner or something?! But I was also glad that I come. I couldn't really chose between this two feelings...

Part 3 coming soon! Please review..
