Eight year old Sakura got dress as Mei and Katina made sure she was dressed properly,

"now Sakura your father shall be home today stay around the house we don't want you to

be dirty for his new wife" Mei said, "you mean I get a new mother" the eight year old

couldn't have been more thrilled and excited, "yes we shall see" Katina said patting her

head. Sakura sat by the window as time ticked by "Sakura!" she looked down and saw

her friend Rhys, she trotted down stairs, "Hey sakura you look like a girl!"

"That's because I am a girl stupid!"

"but today you look it!"

"ha but I can still whip you!"

"Prove it" She ran after him.

Coming back she saw her father, "PAPA!" She yelled he looked at her, "aw your such a

mess, oh well you'll do" he smiled, "Sakura I'd like you to meet the baroness Tsunade

and her daughters Temari and Ino"

"Mademoiselle" they said in unison sakura was intrigued.

Later that night when she had settled down in her room her father came in, "what do you

think of them?" She smiled, "I love them did you see the way they ate their dinner like a

ball"

"yes" he said, "I have something for you Sakura"

"U-utopia" he smiled "yes it is a very good book I got it off the rain village" Sakura

smiled I love it, can we read it?" he shook his head, "not to tonight I tire and tomorrow I

go to the sand village."

"but you just got back"

"I know but they need me to go"

"for how long?"

"two weeks" sakura shook her head, "one"

"two" they played rock paper scissors and she won, "alright one, now get into bed young

lady its late" he kissed her forehead.

The next morning everyone stood outside and waved as Sakura's father took off, Tsunade

went to go in but Sakura stopped her, "Its tradition….he always waves at the gate"

Tsunade didn't care but suddenly her father fell off his horse Sakura went running

"PAPA!" she got to him he was weak and dying, "PAPA!" tears rolled down her cheeks,

her father was dead.
