OKAY PEOPLES! I've decided to put all my other stories on hold until I finish Sasuke's true love...or magically find the notebook I had the other stories in. If you have one other story besides Sasuke's True Love you want me to up load, tell me in a review.
EVERYONE READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE! Sakura and Sasuke watched as the woman from the orphanage walked in with Suki. She looked so sad, it nearly made Sakura cry just at the sight of her. She was cuddling one of her favorite toys, a stuffed Wolf with a black collar and behind her trailed to wolves, of their own accord. They ignored the woman as she shooed them, choosing to just walk up to Suki and nuzzle her. She sat down right there.
"Sakura?" Sasuke mumbled. He would never admit it, but dogs, and especially wolves, gave him the creeps. When he was with Orochimaru, they always popped up when he was on a mission and he failed, which was sure to earn him a very good beating from the snake-like man.
"Hmm?" she said, just before walking over to the group of three (A/N: The lady already left, since she briefed the two before dropping off Suki) and plopping down. The wolf nearest her laid his head in her lap, waiting for her to start petting it like she normally did.
"You didn't say anything about dogs," he whispered.
"Well, there are two," she said, smiling up at him. "I know you don't like dogs, but oh well. Besides, they aren't dogs, they're wolves, there is a difference. Your own mask is a wolf anyway!"
"That's a different story altogether…" he muttered, looking off into another direction.
"Suki?" Sakura asked, ignoring Sasuke. "Do you want to see your new room?"
Suki nodded. Sakura was getting worried about the silence. Usually Suki was so loud it was hard to hear yourself think. She was so loud she could easily rival Naruto. Sakura led her up to the purple bed room, trying not to laugh as the two canines basically chased Sasuke up the stairs.
"Is this okay?" Sakura asked.
"Mm-hmm…" Suki mumbled. "Sakura-chan? Where will Kawaii and Fluffy sleep?"
Sakura laughed while Sasuke looked mortified. She could basically hear the poor guy's thoughts. "Please not my room. Please not my room. Please not…"
"Do you two think you could deal with sharing a couple of pillows and a blanket?" She asked the dogs.
After a brief glance at each other, the dogs nodded.
"Are they Inuzukas or something?" Sasuke asked.
"They are kind of like Inuzukas, but they come from a different village, they moved here a couple of months after Suki was born," Sakura whispered to him.
Sakura came back two minutes later with a few extra pillows and a blanket, to find Sasuke glaring at the two wolves.
"Ugh, you guys like you're going to kill each other."
"Hn," Sasuke mumbled.
They spent most of the day getting Suki settled in. She was already in the academy, so she had to go to bed early, after a healthy dinner of Ramen, courtesy of Naruto.
Sasuke didn't have any missions, so he took Suki to the Academy the next morning, giving Sakura time to go ask Tsunade about what she was going to be doing for the next few years.
…half way across town…
"So you want to take a Gennin Team?" Tsunade asked. Sometimes she really couldn't understand the girl. She was the best medic-nin, she had everything going for her, and she wanted to temporarily quit.
"Yes, I need to take care of Suki for a while." Sakura answered. Ah, she had forgotten that.
"Very well, the next graduates will be coming out in a couple of weeks, be ready at the fifth training area on this date," Tsunade told her, handing Sakura a piece of paper. "By the way, I'll need your Bingo Book and your Mask back before that date."
"Arigatou," Sakura said, turning to walk out of her sensei's office, then heard Naruto's booming voice echoing through the hall. "Sorry, sensei," she mumbled, then turned on her heel and disappeared amongst her usual cherry blossoms.
She popped up in her home, right next to a sleeping Sasuke. Holding down an "aawww," she turned and walked out of his room. She knew Suki was at school, and that Kawaii used to belong to her father, so Kawaii was probably home, but Fluffy went everywhere with Suki, even if he did belong to Ookami-san as well.
There was a knock at her door, and she ran downstairs to catch the person before they left.
"Yes?" she said, throwing the door open.
There, staring at her as if Sakura's presence was unsuspected, was the social worker Sakura had met once before: at her father's funeral.
"Um, Sweetie, I'm here to discuss the will of one…" at this she shuffled through the papers in her arms, "Ookami Seru?"
"Okay, what about it?" Sakura asked.
"It has his wishes for the arrangements of his daughter. One of these arrangements has already been met, but there are others. The first was to have Suki live with Haruno Sakura. The second is to have Kawaii and Fluffy's first pup is Suki's pup, the rest can be given away, and at least one should be kept by Sakura for herself. The last was that, if Suki graduates early, she is not to become ANBU until she is at least sixteen."
"Okay," Sakura said, she had already known about all that. "Is there anything else?"
"No," the social worker told her, smiling. "Good-bye."
Sakura walked back in the house and was about to plop onto the couch for some quality vegetation when Sasuke came in. "Can we watch Ace of Cakes please?" he asked.
"Okay…" Sakura said. She had been planning to watch it anyway. Hinata and Neji were hooked on the show.
"You know that we have to pick up Suki in an hour, right?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah," Sakura mumbled.
"You going to pick her up?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"Kay."
They spent an entire hour watching "Ace of Cakes", then Sakura stood up, and for the second time that day, disappeared in her whirl of Sakura petals to appear next to the Academy, two seconds before the bell rang and Suki rushed out.
"Hi, Suki," Sakura greeted, grabbing the girl's hand.
"Hi, Sakura-chan!"
Fluffy ran up to Sakura and greeted her with a wet nose and wagging tail.
"Hello to you, too," Sakura greeted. "Okay, is everyone ready to go home now?"
"Mm-hmm!" Suki told her.
On the way home, Suki began to play twenty questions.
"Why does Sasuke hate dogs?" Suki asked.
"He doesn't hate them…he's just uncomfortable around them," Sakura explained.
"Why is your hair pink?"
"My hair is pink because I come from a special family from Mist."
"Then why aren't you in Mist."
"Because my family moved here before I was born."
"Oh." Suki said. "Why is the…"
This went on for a while, until they reached Sakura's house. As they walked through the door, Sasuke came out of the kitchen, wearing one of Sakura's aprons. He wasn't holding them as much as balancing them.
"Hi," he mumbled.
"Aawww…" Sakura squealed. "That's so cute."
"Don't get used to it."
The new family ate and Suki went to bed, and eventually Sasuke and Sakura fell asleep on the couch, watching Ace of Cakes.
A/N: I will tell you who is the new Oto-kage next chapter.
