Sakura Blossoms
When You Lose Something More
It was Monday morning, and Sasuke just didn't want to get up today. He was still having a hard time from yesterday's experience. Sasuke rolled out of bed and onto the floor not giving a crap about whom or what saw him lying there. Itachi walked past Sasuke's open door. He looked and saw him lying there. He walked into the room and kicked him slightly. Sasuke grabbed his foot and pulled him to the floor. Sasuke looked up to see Itachi dumbstruck. Sasuke smiled and lifted the blank from over his head and threw it to the floor. He then… trampled… Itachi. Itachi fell back and Sasuke ran down the stairs, almost hitting the wall. He jumped down and started his way to the kitchen. His mom was making waffles for him and his brother. He sat at the table and waited for them to be put in front of him, and poor the rich syrup on them. Suddenly, Sasuke's father walked in totally plastered drunk. He walked over to Sasuke's mom and punched her with out even knowing who she was. Sasuke dropped his fork. He crawled under the table and watched his mother and father fight. His dad not knowing who she even was, and his mom completely sober. Sasuke's father grabbed his mom by the hair and dragged her up the steps. Then all Sasuke heard was three thumps. Then silence. He felt his eyes well up with tears and he ran out the door to the closest house. Sakura's.
Haruno Household
Sakura had been up for about an hour now. She just couldn't get rid of the image in her head. The image of the bloody sight of the girl Ami, the girl Sasuke had killed the day she was badly injured. She also couldn't help but remember Sasuke's expression to the accident. I mean… it was an accident… right? He was scared, and didn't want to be found out. He was three years old then. Suddenly, there was a knock at her window, she looked to see Sasuke. Her eyes widened and she opened the window. He came in and hugged her tightly. She was speechless. He looked at her with tears in his eyes. She was wondering what he was crying about. He opened his mouth and was about to answer her question. He suddenly choked out: "M-my father… p-pushed my m-mother down the s-stairs!" Sasuke cried out in tears. Sakura was speechless. She wasn't sure what to do, so she hugged him tightly and cooed into his ear trying to calm him. As Sasuke sobbed into Sakura's shoulder, Sakura's mom came into the room. She ran over to them. "What happened to Sasuke, Sakura?" Her mother said worried." His dad pushed his mom down the stairs this morning, I don't know the rest." Sakura said as worried as her mother. Sakura's mother took a blanket from Sakura's bed and put it around Sasuke. He was balling. She grabbed the tissue box and took a tissue out of the box and gave it to him. She smiled lightly when Sasuke grabbed it and blew his nose. She put her arms around the two and walked them into her room. She took the phone and dialed Sasuke's phone number. His brother answered. "Uchiha residence, what is it?" Itachi said loud over the commotion in the background. "Hi Itachi, Sasuke is at our house, in tears. Do you think he could stay here for a bit to relax and cool down?" Sakura's mother said calmly. Suddenly she heard something hit the wall in the background."Erm, yeah, he might not want to be here right now anyway, Erm, I'm coming over there too if you don't mind ehehehe….." Itachi said loudly, and he sounded serious." Of course Itachi. You may come over here too. Also thank you." She smiled and hung up the phone. She turned to the kids and smiled again. They looked up at her. "Itachi is coming here while I have to go buy some food for Sasuke and Itachi. They will be staying for a little while. Sasuke, no fighting your brother in the house okay? Thanks." She said as she walked out the bedroom door. Sakura looked at Sasuke and he was dumbstruck. He was no longer crying, but now he was confused. Sakura smiled and grabbed his cold hand. She nearly froze from feeling it, but ran with him out of the room down stairs. He tripped on the blanket and he fell into Sakura. They both rolled down the stairs. Luckily, they only fell down three steps. Then there was a knock on the door. Sakura opened it and Itachi came in throwing Sasuke a bag filled with clothing and his stuff from their house. He looked at Sasuke with the saddest eyes possible. Sasuke knew what had happened. His eyes welled up again and he looked down. Sakura wasn't sure what happened. She looked at Sasuke. She saw a tear fall to the ground. She then looked down. She saw a shadow move suddenly and looked up. Itachi was hugging Sasuke. They both were crying now. She turned to them and put a hand on each of their shoulders. They looked at her and she smiled lightly. She then felt two boys hug her tightly and lifting her in the air. Later That Day Sakura's mom had left to go to the store. Sasuke and Itachi had stopped crying and the three were watching a movie. The movie was called The Little Mermaid. Itachi was like: -/\-, Sasuke was like: -- and Sakura was like: OO Sakura had zoned out everything but the movie. Suddenly she felt something hit her softly. She punched it and she heard a crack. She looked and it was Itachi. He was trying to grabbed the popcorn and accidentally hit her in the process. He now had a broken nose! Sasuke burst out laughing. Itachi was like: T/\T and yet again, Sakura was like: OO. Sakura's mom came through the door and looked at the three of them. She ran over to Itachi when she saw that his nose was smashed to the right side of his face. She cracked it back into place and gave him an ice pack to heal his nose a little bit. Sasuke went up to his room in Sakura's house. He sat on the bed and looked at the floor. He started to cry. He sniffled and rubbed his eyes with his hands. He looked at the door to see it completely open. Also outside the door was Sakura's mom. She smiled lightly and walked into the room. She sat next to Sasuke and looked at him. "Did you here any news about your mom yet?" She asked quietly and she was hoping that he would answer with good news." Yes…" He said as tears rolled down his face." What did you hear?" she asked lighter than before. She knew it would not be the good news now. By the way he was crying there was no way she was ok."She died…" Sasuke cried out as he shoved his face into his hands and cried even more. Sakura's mom rubbed Sasuke's back lightly and looked at the floor. She didn't know what to say. He had witnessed his own father, the one he thought loved the family he had, killed his mother. For once in her whole life, she didn't know what to say. Sasuke and Itachi had been silent for the next three days. In school, Sakura would try to talk to Sasuke, but he just stayed quiet and didn't answer. Naruto and the others were worried beyond anything. They didn't know until Thursday. When Sasuke's mom's picture was in the paper and his father's picture as well. His mom in the deaths that week portion and his father's picture were in the criminal photos. That weekend was the funeral for their mom. They had pictures all over the place of her in their room. They placed the stuffed animal that all three worked on when Sasuke was sick in bed with the flu, in the casket. It was raining hard and there was mud everywhere as well. Sasuke didn't know what to do so he followed Itachi. Itachi was standing proud to be Mikoto's son, and her eldest one. Sasuke stood proud for all the memory's he had with his mom. She will always be remembered in their hearts and minds forever. (A/N: Sorry for this coming out so late guys, but I had some problems in my own life that I had to take care of before I started the next chapter in Sakura Blossoms. So please Read and Review, and I will bring out the next chapter in a little while.)
