__Lets continue on with the story shall we!!__RUN 2: My stomach told me so!
Hikaru walked in front of Sasuke and Sakura. His hair flowed softly in the spring breeze. He sung lowly to himself, happy and out of that office, he finally gets to see Konoha in the day time.
Sakura looked at Hikaru's walking form. She watched as he happily swung his arms back and forth as he walked ahead of them.
"He seems happy." Sasuke's voice broke through Sakura's train of though; she had started to zone out.
"Yeah…"Sakura looked at Sasuke.
She felt as if she forgot something important that she had to do. Thinking hard about it for a couple of seconds she slowly remembered it. Their names!!
"We never properly introduced ourselves to him!" Sakura finally remembered still looking at Sasuke.
"Not to worry, we'll just introduce ourselves to him at home after I pick up Sakare. We just have to worry about how the two of them are going to act toward one another; Sakare is not one to really like a stranger in his home no matter who they are." Sasuke sighed after remembering his son's views on strangers. He thinks their creepy no matter how old or young, kind or mean their all the same to him.
Sakura giggled, really agreeing with her husband about their picky son and his way of seeing people.
"Aw, I bet he'll really like Hikaru, they'll be great friends, just like he is with Hataro." Sakura continued to laugh.
"Well I hope so…" Sasuke heard Hikaru stop humming; he looked forward to see if anything happened to him.
Hikaru turned around with a small smile on his face. He looked up at the two just realizing some thing rather important.
"Yes Hikaru?" Sasuke seen Hikaru's questioning face.
"This may seem silly but I need to ask, were are we going?" Hikaru asked.
Sasuke chuckled light at his question, they've been walking for about 15 minutes now and he just now asked that.
"Home silly!" Sakura chuckled along with Sasuke
"And were is home?" Hikaru questioned a little clueless.
"The Uchiha compound, have you ever heard of it?" Sasuke asked Hikaru.
Hikaru's face lit up."Yep, papa would tell me stories about that place. He said that's were all the Uchiha use to live. Most of the stories were really happy ones, but some were very sad."
-Itachi would tell his stories. They were that close? So why is he here? – Sasuke pondered the thought.
"Well you'll have to tell us all about them when we get home then." Sakura started to walk again passing Hikaru.
"Okay!" Hikaru quickly caught up to Sakura and walked along side her.
Sasuke walked on the opposite side of her.
-You were right papa, they are nice people. - Hikaru gave a bright smile.
( -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_)
They arrived at the Uchiha compound 10 minutes later. Walking to a large house, it looked to be one of the main houses in the compound, but not the main manor.
-Its so empty here, just like papa said it would be." – Hikaru had a look of sadness upon his face.
Sasuke unlocked the front door, and then opened it. He stepped to the right to let the others in.
Once inside, Sakura took off her shoes and placed them neatly side by side on the right side of the door. Sasuke once inside did the same, after he locked the door. He removed his shoes and also placed them neatly by the door next to Sakura's.
-Note, always take shoes off before coming into the house, and neatly put them at the door out of the way. – Hikaru made a mental note to himself while he too took off his shoes and put his bag on a coat rack.
"Are you hungry Hikaru?" Hikaru heard Sasuke's voice as he put his shoes away.
Hikaru's stomach started to growl "Yes I am, my stomach told me so." Hikaru responded.
Sasuke looked at him strangely.
-What a weird way of saying that. – Sasuke thought looking at Hikaru.
(Hikaru's past)
"Hikaru are you hungry." Itachi asked a 4 year old Hikaru that he carried on his shoulders.
Hikaru felt his small stomach rubble loudly.
"Yes papa, my stomach told me so." Hikaru answered hungrily.
Itachi was quite for a second before starting to lightly chuckle.
"…cute." Itachi smiled lightly.
(Present)
Sakura was in the kitchen preparing something for a late lunch. Items laid out on the kitchen counter.
Sasuke and Hikaru walked into the eating area, Sasuke told him to sit at the table, Hikaru did so sitting down quietly and looking at Sasuke.
"After we eat I'll show you to your room, okay?" Sasuke waited for Hikaru to respond.
Hikaru nodded "Okay!"
Sasuke then turned and left the eating area into the kitchen to help Sakura.
-Wow, my own room! – Hikaru smiled at the thought of having his own living space.
In the kitchen Sakura cooked up food that smelled of tomatoes, basil, and garlic. Sasuke walked behind her and gently placed his arms around her waist. She smiled as she continued to cook.
"That smells really good." Sasuke breathed in the tomato scented air.
"Thank you, were is Hikaru?" She asked as she added some chopped onions to a pot on the stove.
"At the table." He continued to enjoy the smell of the kitchen air as he rested his chin on her shoulder.
Sakura enjoyed the feel of his weight on her. He then smelled her hair, the sent of mint and cherries.
He gazed over at the clock on the kitchen wall, it read 2:41. Sasuke smiled and slowly let go of his gentle hold on Sakura.
She felt his weight lift from off her shoulder; she frowned and turned around facing Sasuke. He was already at the kitchen door way walking to the front door.
"Sasuke were are you going?" Sakura quickly caught up to him at the front.
"Its 2:41, time to pick Sakare up from school." Sasuke said as he put back on his shoes.
She looked up at a clock that hung 7 inches above the door. It was 2:41.
"Oh, right." She said realizing the time.
"I'll be back shortly with him." He turned and gave Sakura a quick kiss to the cheek. He then walked to the doorway of the eating area.
"Hikaru, there is someone I want you to meet when I get back. I have a feeling you'll really like him." Sasuke told Hikaru.
"Alright!" Hikaru said excitedly.
With that, Sasuke turned and exited the house, locking the door behind him. He walked out of the compound and made his way to the Y.S.A.
The Young Students Academy.
