Redrawing My Love
Chapter 3
Two days had passed since Sakura's faithful encounter with Sasuke. She hadn't seen Sasuke since, but she didn't mind at all. In fact it gave her sometime to figure things out. Her life is a mess. Having to choice between two great guys wasn't easy to do.
The sun started to rise over the horizon, coloring the sky lovely shades of blue, orange and yellow. Sakura was already up, fixing breakfast for Sai and herself. She had a habit of getting up around five in the morning. She usually cooked breakfast, clean up the house a bit, then did whatever else she wanted to, unless she had to work.
Sakura hummed softly to herself before straightening out her pink night gown. She opened her white fridge and pulled out a carton of eggs, and a pack of bacon. She checked over all of her items that consisted of; eggs, cheese, bacon, two pans, butter, and two plates. Nodding to herself she started to cook.
The delicious smell of food started to fill the house. The smell drifted through the entire building, including Sakura and Sai's room. Once the shinobi caught a whiff of the scent, he immediately woke up and started to get dress.
Sai walked into the kitchen yawning. He was wearing his shinobi clothing; his black and grey shirt half-shirt and his black and grey pants. The black haired ninja yawned before he tied on his leaf village head band. His hand rose up to lift his short black hair that hadn't grown since he was sixteen.
"Good morning, Sakura-chan."
He mumbled softly to her, watching his wife finish cooking the bacon and sat it on his plate. He got up a little late today because usually he had time to admire his pink haired beauty cook breakfast for him.
"Good morning, Sai."
Sakura gave him a gentle smile before handing him his plate. She grabbed her own and walked to the dining room table with Sai following after her. She sat her plate down and returned to the kitchen where she fixed them a glass of orange juice. She walked back to the table and sat their drinks down before eating in silence.
Sai noticed that she was quieter than she use to be, but didn't paid attention to her silence. He finished off his breakfast rather quickly before sitting is dish in the sink. He blinked a few times and noticed that Sakura was just staring at their ashen walls.
"Sakura-chan?"
Sai gently touch her shoulder and snapped Sakura out of her daze. Emerald orbs met with concern ink black ones. A frown was present on her face. She was just thinking, about what would happen if she left Sai.
"Sorry, Sai, I don't feel well. I maybe coming down with a cold."
She quickly lied and stood up, taking one last sip from her orange juice. She wasn't actually lying though. She didn't feel well, mentally and emotionally. She sighed to herself, picking up her plate and glass and sitting it inside of the dishes.
"Maybe you should rest today Sakura-chan."
Sai suggested while grabbing his items. He knew she was lying, but didn't pressure her into telling him why she was lying. She was a medical ninja. Sometimes they get sick, but Sakura is the best around. She could easily cure any cold.
Sakura nodded while running the water, filling the sink with hot streaming water. Sai walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, her back against his chest.
"Take care of yourself, Sakura-chan. I'll be back tomorrow night. I'm going on a mission."
He turned Sakura around in his arms, staring into her emerald pools. He saw the sadness in her eyes start to show already. She always worried when he was going on a dangerous mission. She often thought that he would leave one day and never come back.
"Be careful Sai."
She mumbled while her right arm wrapped around Sai's neck. His lowered his lips to hers before pressing they firmly against one another. In case he didn't come back, Sai always kissed her passionately to show his love before he left
"I'll come back, Sakura, I promise."
Sai kissed her one final time on the cheek before leaving. Sakura sighed once she was alone. The house always felt so empty when Sai left. She quickly washed the dishes and put them up. She cleaned off the counter and table. After she finished cleaning the house for a little bit, she walked into her room. She was tried, not physically though.
A lot has been on her mind for the pass few days and she didn't know what to do. She needed to talk to someone. Someone who would listen to her closely and wouldn't dare judge her.
'Hinata!'
The Hyuga heir name popped into her mind and instantly Sakura rose from the bed. Hinata was the one person who would actually listen to her and gave good advice. She quickly ran over to her closer and pulled out an emerald tank top and matching green shorts.
She slipped off her night gown and put on her clothing. Sakura felt a bit excited about spending sometime with Hinata. She grabbed her brush and began brushing her silky pink locks. Lastly she applied a bit of lip gloss to her lips and checked over herself.
'Perfect'
She thought to herself while she put on her shoes. Sakura grabbed her house keys and walked out of her and Sai's home. Although she felt a bit nervous about confessing something like this to someone, she was sure her secret was safe with Hinata. She learned to trust Hinata when Naruto and the Hyuga started dating.
It was over four years now since Naruto and Hinata started hanging out. She would hang out with Hinata all the time afterward and they become very close. Maybe even closer than what her and Ino was. Ino was her best friend, but she and Hinata are like sisters. She could tell Hinata anything and she wouldn't dare tell a soul. If she told Ino her secret, then of course the blonde girl would tell the whole village.
It didn't take long for Sakura to arrive outside of the Hyuga compound. It was no longer a difference between the main house house and the branch house. Since Hinata's father was no longer in charge, she changed the rules with the help of Naruto. She didn't allow the branch members to be marked and ruled over by the main family any longer. Now Neji and she no longer had any tension between then. In fact they couldn't be closer because of her choice.
Sakura knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer it. It didn't take too long for the beautiful Hyuga to answer the door. Hinata was wearing a lavender shirt with white pants. Her long dark purple locks hung freely down her back.
"Sakura-san?"
Confusion showed clearly on her face. She had no idea why Sakura just suddenly popped up without any warnings or anything. If she'd known she'd be having guests, she would have made sure the house was extra clean and tea would be already made.
"Forgive my rudeness! Come in, Sakura-san!"
She quickly said, opening the door a little bit more and allowing Sakura to walk inside of the home. The living room was very large and spacious. The room was filled with expensive paintings and family pictures. A few spotless white couches were spread throughout the room, showing that they often had guess. But what Sakura couldn't get was how the couches were so clean. Naruto did live in this house right!? They should be a mess, not spotless!
"Sorry for showing up unexpended, Hinata-chan."
Sakura apologized while walking over to sit on one of the couches. She stared at the family photos before she focused her gaze back on Hinata.
"It's fine, Sakura-san. Would you like something to drink?"
Mrs. Uzumaki asked before taking a seat. Before Sakura had time to answer, a little girl came running into the room. Her dark brown hair was held in a high ponytail and her eyes are light lavender, almost the white held an unreadable emtion inside of them. Sakura defiantly knew those eyes; they only belonged to the Hyuga's. She was wearing a white kimono with red flowers on it.
"Auntie!! Auntie!!"
The young girl that could be no older than four years old. She ran straight to Hinata and jumped up and down. Hinata looked down at the child with concern.
"What's wrong, Hisae?"
"Auntie! I—I…I want some juice!"
Sakura almost burst into laughter while Hinata sighed lightly. She had thought that something serious was happening, but the little girl merely wanted something to drink.
Hinata stood up and grabbed the young girl's hand and walked her to the kitchen. She fixed the girl a cup of juice and led her over to a small table. Hinata carefully picked the girl up and sat her in the chair while sitting the cup on the table.
"Here you are, Hisae-chan. Don't move until you've finished drinking. We don't want to make a mess again, right?"
"No, Auntie."
Hinata walked from out of the dining room and sat back in her chair. She quickly apologized for her niece interrupting them and Sakura just laughed lightly.
"It's quite alright, Hinata-chan. Who's daughter is that?"
"Neji-san and Tenten-san."
Sakura gasped lightly at Hinata's answer. She had forgotten about Tenten's first child. Time did pass by quickly. The last time Sakura had a chance to see Hisae was when she was just a little baby! The little girl grown well from what she could tell.
"So is there something you want to talk about, Sakura-san?"
Sakura become silent for a few moments at Hinata's question. She felt her heart start to race inside of her chest. What was she to do? She knew she could trust Hinata, but she felt so wrong saying this. After a few moments of silence, Sakura finally blurted it out.
"Hinata…I know I'm married to Sai, but I think I still love Sasuke-kun!"
N/A— I bet you're curious about what Hinata will say right? XD Well you'll have to wait until the next chapter! Don't worry; I'll have it up soon so it really isn't much of a wait. Lol. Oh and for though of you who thought Hinata would still be shy and barely talked, I wanted to break her out of that stage. She's calm and speaks her mind around those who she's close with. Like Sakura and Naruto. But with people like Sasuke, she becomes shy and nervous around them.
Anyway, here are some more of the character's ages.
Neji: 21
Tenten: 21
Hisae: 4
