A/N: I find that the most difficult part of writing each chapter, is starting each chapter. Just a random fact I thought I could share

with all my readers. Thank you so to those who reviewed, you helped me out so much! Here is chapter 10, Enjoy!

My Hero

By Uchiha Daisuke

My hero is my dad, Uchiha Sasuke. He is captain of the ANBU, so he is very important to all the ANBU. My dad is strong, brave, honest, and never hurts anyone except the bad guys. We both love tomatoes! He protects my mom, my sister, and me everyday. When I grow up I want to be just like him!

Sakura remembered when he wrote that little paragraph for Iruka's class when he was 5. When Sasuke read it he didn't want to show it, but it made him very emotional...in a good way! It still is hanging on their fridge to this day.

Knock! Knock!

The pink haired medic looked at the time, and saw that it was noon.

"That's weird, I'm not expecting anyone over." She walked over to the front door, and slowly opened it to find a woman. She was wearing a cream and gold kimono, her silver hair was tied up in a bun, and her heavy make up distracted her emerald eyes.

"M-mother?"

"Hello Sakura dear, it's been so long."

"Yeah..."

"May I come in?" The medic was a bit hesitant at first, but nodded her head. Her mother slowly came in, and took her sandals off. Her eyes moved around, observing every inch of the house.

"This place is quite filthy."

"She has been here for less than 5 minutes and she is already insulting our home!"

"Sakura be a dear and make me some tea." The mother of eleven fought off the urge to scream bloody murder, and went off to make some tea. Sakura's mother sat down at one of the couches in the living room, and waited eagerly for her drink. A couple of footsteps running down some stairs echoed the house. When the loud noise ended, the elderly woman came in contact with Haru and Hana standing at the bottom of the stairs. Silence filled the room, and a bit of an awkward feeling as well.

"Hello dearies." The two kids didn't reply, they just kept staring at the mysterious woman that was sitting in their living room.

"Mom, all we have is green tea…" Sakura came in and saw 2 of her children staring at their grandmother.

"Hana…Haru…why don't you go outside." The two dark haired kids nodded and left through the front door. Sakura placed the tea tray in front of her mother, and pored her mother a cup of green tea. The older woman observed the cup closely, and slowly took a quick sip. Her face scrunched up, and quickly placed the cup down.

"Mom…why are you here?" Sakura asked her mother, as she took a sip of her own cup of tea.

"Can't a mother come and visit her own daughter once in a while?"

"It's been 20 years mom."

"Really? It's been that long?" Her mother replied sarcastically. Sakura glared at the older woman.

FLASHBACK

Sasuke, Sakura, and her parents sat in the middle of the Haruno living room.

"So Sasuke we heard that you're probation has ended." Sakura's mother said to the ex criminal.

"Yes ma'am, it has." He replied to his girlfriend's mother. The woman was repulsed by his answer.

"So what do you plan to do now?" Her father asked.

"Well I will continue my therapy, and I plan to take the chunin exams in a few months."

"So you will be sane by the time you take the chunin exams?"

"Dad…"

"I have the right to know if this thing is capable of normal human behavior Sakura."

"Normal…human…behavior?"

"Yes, is that so hard for you to understand?" Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing, she knew her parents would have a hard time trusting Sasuke…but not like this.

"He has normal human behavior father." She said in defense of her boyfriend.

"Ha ha, oh Sakura he can't possibly be as normal like us." Her mother said with pride.

"Mom stop."

"Oh we're just getting started Sakura."

"Sasuke are you even capable of raising a family, you're parents were failures as parents based on your...results?" Sasuke's fists began to clench, his blood was boiling, and he was just itchin to punch them in the face. Now he knows why Sakura acted the way she did when they were kids, these snobs who thought they were better than everyone else raised her. Thank kami she was able to change during her time in Team 7, and see things in a new perspective instead of her parents'.

"This village does need anymore of the devils spawn."

"Dad, how can you say that?" Sakura said as her heart began to crumble.

"How can you even think of dating this…this…freak?" Her mother said pointing directly at Sasuke.

"He is not a freak…he is a normal human being with human emotions…Sasuke-kun has been through so much…so much more than what most people go through…and he is willing to give life a second chance…that is something not a lot of people can handle…I am going to be by his side…I love him." Sakura held Sasuke's hand and smiled. Her deep green emeralds gazed into his dark onyx eyes, seeing something that her parents could not…a one of a kind man.

"Sakura, your father and I raised you better than to act this way!" Her mother shouted.

"All you two raised me to be was a snotty bitch who puts people down to make me feel better about myself."

"We were teaching you to speak the truth."

"Nothing you said was truthful, it was just hurtful rumors and gossip!"

"What the hell happened to you?"

"I grew up…something that you two have not yet experienced."

"Sakura!"

"Don't you dare talk to us that way young lady!"

"I just did!"

"Sakura if you marry this traitor…you're no longer apart of this family."

"I don't want to be apart of this family anymore!" Sakura grabbed Sasuke's hand the two lovers left the house.

END FLASHBACK

"I went over to the house a few weeks after, but you moved."

"Well had to leave town, you basically ruined your own parents' reputations."

"I didn't know you two had reputations."

"Don't push it Sakura."

"You still haven't asked my question on why you are really here." More footsteps came running down the stairs. Out came a girl around 5 with onyx eyes, and pink hair pulled up in pigtails.

"Michiko?" After the pigtailed girl came another girl around 11 with long curly black hair, and dark green eyes.

"Reiko?"

"Hi mommy! Hi old lady!" Michiko said with a smile on her cute little face making the pink haired medic giggle at her daughters greeting. Sakura's mothers eye began to twitch at her granddaughter's comment.

"Mom, are we interrupting anything?" Asked Reiko as she picked up her younger sister.

"N-no…" Their mother stammered. The raven-haired girl knew her mother was lying.

"I'll go play tea party with Michiko." She ran upstairs with little Michiko in her arms.

"Where's dad?"

"Oh he is tied up with work, he couldn't make it."

"Don't you have work as well?"

"I took the day off, I wanted to see you so badly…oh dear I tear up every time I think of what life could have been if things turned out for the better."

"Mom, cut the crap and tell me what the hell you are doing in my house?"

"If you look behind you you'll see why I am here." Sakura raised her eyebrow, and turned around to see Ayame standing right behind her.

"A-Aya?"

"So the rumors are true, your going to be a grandmother."

"Did you just come here to see if some gossip was true?"

"Yes, but not entirely." Sakura's mother slowly got up from her seat, and walked over to Ayame.

"I was thinking we could have a fresh start." The older woman said as he pushed back a lock of Aya's hair behind her ear.

"What do you mean a fresh start?"

"Ayame dear, how would you like to live with me and your grandfather?"

"Mother!"

"Think of it dear, you could live away from here, be safe in small tiny little village where we can become a Haruno. You will no longer be ridiculed by the Uchiha name." Ayame couldn't believe what she was hearing. Someone was offering to take her away from here.

"Mom, leave now!" Sakura's mother glared at her daughter, but turned her attention back to Ayame with a smile.

"I will be in town for a couple of days, I am staying at the Leaf Inn…stop by sometime to let me know your decision." She gave her a hug, and left.

"Aya…"Sakura hugged her daughter tight, assuring her that is was going to be ok.

"Mom…what she said makes sense to me." The pink haired medic's heart stopped.

"W-what?" Mother and daughter stared at each other.

"I have been a burden to you and dad...and to everyone else…this may be the best thing for everyone."

"You are not a burden to me, your father, your brothers or sisters…we love you."

"I-I love you too…which is I need to do what I think is best for everyone." Ayame pulled away from her mother, and went upstairs to her room.
