" what happened ?"
Sakura closed her eyes tightly at the yelling women in front of her she could swear if hitomi continued she'd turn deaf, raising her hands and covering her ears
" n-nothing"
" what do you mean nothing look at you look at your hair look at your clothes"
" it's a mission I am supposed to look like this hitomi"
When they came from their mission hitomi was generously waiting for sakura to return holding a dango plate to offer for sakura as a congratulation for her safe return to home but instead the plate fell and she got yelling and screaming instead of a sweet treat
" you're going to be punished young lady" and with that sakura was all but dumbfounded
" E-eh ?"
" Yes and I'm going to talk to your sensei and give him a piece of my mind"
With that sakura was dragged from her ear before protesting she felt shame as she was dragged through the streets people giving her a funny look. Sakura would die if someone she knew would see her but fortunately all the people she knew are resting from the mission except her sensei which taking from hitomi's persistence and anger they would meet soon
Approaching a large compound which sakura figured was full of apartments hitomi made her way still dragging sakura from her ear as she went through the stairs crossing a corridor which led to a blue wooden door sakura could have sworn that hitomi knew her way around but dismissed it when her sensei opened the door raising his eye brows at the scene presented before him.
" hello.." he awkwardly greeted getting a grunt from hitomi instead
" Hello? Hello? Is that all you have to say? Look what you have done to my baby!" she yelled loudly tightening her grip on sakura's ears which left the pinkette wince in pain apart from blushing that hitomi thought of her as her baby
" baby? She isn't your baby hitomi-Chan cause I would have remembered" the blonde questioned as currently he was leaning on the doorway wearing his navy blue pajamas sakura could tell he either had a lousy fashion sense or he was obsessed with the color blue not that it didn't fit him cause it did.
Hitomi huffed as she returned a stranded hair to its right place " she's 12 minato could you go easy on her?" she softly pleaded
" hitomi-Chan she's a ninja she knows the risks that is brought with the title I'm only her sensei , I too get ordered by my superiors" he locked his blue eyes with her own
Sakura stiffened as the hand that was holding her ear softened and soon left her abused ear sighing softly for the relief she looked at hitomi who was looking at the ground unspoken pain shouting to be let out as minato wore the same expression as he soon masked it with a confused one. Sakura knew about masks after all she had spent time with not only kakashi-sensei but also naruto and sai the effort to show people that you're happy when in reality you're miserable it was a selfless act, giving up your own happiness for the others.
" You never change, huh minato?" hitomi broke the silence raising her head to face minato her orange hair covering half of her face " A sensei is the one who protects and leads not the one who instruct and leave" she ended with a broken smile hitomi wasn't one to hide her feelings or mask it sakura knew that but seeing the women in front of her agonized broke her heart
Silence befallen them for a minute or so before sakura felt a hand tugging on her shoulder pulling her away from her sensei who seemed to be drowning in thoughts all she did was wave a goodbye for her sensei as he returned it with a blank look on his face ' the heck they look like it's the end of the world?" she curiously thought as hitomi led her back to busting streets of konoha
…..
As they were walking through the stores to find new clothes for sakura as hitomi felt it was necessary for sakura to have a wide variety of clothes as hers were already torn apart.
" do you like this one sakura?" hitomi asked raising a yellow shirt with a shuriken print on the side .
" Yeah it looks cute" sakura answered as hitomi took the shirt and put it inside their basket
" ooh look at these skirts hitomi-san they look awesome" holding in her hands was a black short skirt that reminded her of the one she wore on her chunnin exam smiling at the fond memories of kicking someone's ass alongside her friends hitomi gave her a questioned look before shrugging deciding it was better to leave the girl with her fantasies. Taking the clothes they chose and paying for it they both left for home as it was time for hitomi to go work in the hospital
As they entered the house hitomi gave everything to sakura so she could try it out and arrange it in her room before pulling her coat and putting it on,
" Now you sure you're going to be okay without me tonight?" hitomi asked concerned for the little girl well being
" Yeah yeah everything is under control, don't worry" sakura assured her as hitomi quickly embraced sakura for a hug before heading to the door waving to the little girl before leaving. Sakura smiled hitomi was surely a person to be admired as sakura went to take her clothes her stomach started to make noises indicating she was lacking food taking a look at the clothes she was wearing and her hair she decided to clean up and worry about food later.
…
Sakura took on the scents as her hair was starting to smell like flowers like it used to be and her skin was starting to return to its smooth glory all she needed was hot bath she declared, she was wearing a pink shot sleeved shirt with prints of flowers decorating its side matching it with a short black skirt and regular blue shinobi sandals holding her long pink hair in a pony tail she smiled as she looked pleased of how she looked. She starting to resemble her old self the one who cared about how she looked but now she had grown up she knew that looks didn't matter but all she wanted to do is to please herself not others. She took off as she headed to the nearest dango shop closing the door behind her she started running she felt refreshed and free no where near restrained and confined like she used to be, entering the small shop that resemble the one that was in the future she looked in awe as people were smiling and laughing and talking about how their day went she smiled at the surroundings she lately felt that she was smiling a lot ' I need to get back to my old self , the normal one' of course the old one was at war she didn't have time to smile and laugh instead she had to heal and attack.
" Two caramel dango's please" she ordered politely as she took the plate from the old man and paid him the money for the food, exiting the shop and sitting under a tree that was isolated from the rest of the village and the noises she sighed in content, all she needed was peace and quiet and apparently some sweet dangos as she started to devour the said sweets she stopped half way as she heard some muffles and sobs she froze in her place darting her eyes to face the bark of the tree
" hello .. ?"
The source of the noises shifted as a broken gasp was heard peeking his head to take a look to who intruded his crying sessions.
Raven hair was starting to stick out as sakura gasped " obito, is that you?" she questioned as he turned and faced sakura eyes red from the cries and sobs hidden by his goggles
" y-yes" he shyly replied
Sakura stood up and plopped down next to him in his side of the tree offering a plate of dango as he eagerly took with no hesitation muttering a thank you that sakura smiled and nodded slowly. Silence fell on the them as neither wanted to break it both were trying to embrace but sakura's curiosity took the best of her,
" why were you crying?" she asked softly looking at the uchiha next to her with her big emerald green eyes
" nothing its.. it's nothing" she didn't want to press on it but seeing him crying and drowning in his problems without helping wasn't settling well with sakura placing a hand on his shoulder as looked startled by the sudden physical contact,
" you can tell me anything obito" she gave him a genuine smile, he needed to know that they were friends and other than that she needed to take away his misery so he could be on the right track
" its .. its rin-Chan" he looked down depression was evident on his face " I asked her to hang out with me for some while" still not looking up to face sakura,
" and she rejected you?" she asked concern was shown
He shook his head slowly " she said she had to study some medical books and jutsus but when I was headed home I saw her chasing kakashi begging him to go with her on a date" he ended it with a broken voice sakura could swear she was feeling depressed and sad maybe his mood was infecting or it was the human side of hers she sat there not giving an answer she honestly didn't know what to saw the boy was a hot mess.
" she's stupid" she said as obito shot his head in her direction
" huh?"
" I said she's stupid if she didn't realize how much of an amazing and kind guy you are" she inquired " sometimes we love and adore the wrong person" she quietly added
He nodded in agreement hands behind his back to rest his head with " love sucks"
" no it's not, it's a beautiful feeling it's when you love someone unconditionally no matter what they did we just didn't find the right people"
Obito looked at her with awe the tough girl that he hardly came to accept to the hero that saved his life and also his life long rival now was giving him advice about love and what not what she was telling was the truth he didn't find the right person yet ..
" I guess you're right" he solemnly said feeling a hand resting on his shoulder he looked at her raising his eye brows " don't cry obito it's not worth it, one day when you find your true love I'm going to be on your side" raising her hands drying the tears that have fallen and rested on his cheeks as she took her hands and started standing up obito quickly grasped her wrist as she looked oddly at his up front action
" Thank you .. for everything"
Sakura looked at him admiringly she smiled genuinely at the little boy before kneeling in front of him leaning in and placing a soft kiss on his forehead making him blush and stutter waving goodbye as she left with a swirl of cherry blossoms in her place.
All obito could do is smile and touch his forehead slowly caressing the place that sakura's lips were once placed ' thank you '
