Today is the day my sweet Sakura-chan.. The day that monster has to face his fate... "Not the fate I would have preferred, but I'll take what I can get at this point," I mumbled under my breath as I watch the cherry blossom walk towards the passenger side of my Mustang. It's nice being able to pick her up directly from her house, now that 'Captain Haruno' is rotting in a jail cell.. As she got closer to the door I reached over and pushed it open, the smile that graced her lips warmed my heart. I could tell she was nervous about stepping into the courtroom today, even more so about having to see him face to face for the first time in two wonderful months. "You're going to do great beautiful, try not to worry yourself too much," I say quietly, trying to reassure her, she flashed me a soft smile from the passenger seat, "Arigato.. Hina-chan.." After shifting the gear shift into drive I reach over and take hold of her shaking hand, I knew my comment simply fell to deaf ears. It'll all be over soon.. Then you can be free.. Even if only for a short while..
…
"Arrested under what charges?!" Captain Haruno yells at his superior, his whole body shaking with rage. Genma takes a deep breath, rubbing his temples in annoyance, "Abuse on a minor.. In multiple aspects. Quite honestly, judging by the looks of it, you should be happy the death penalty has been outlawed." I stood behind Genma along with Neji and a couple of Anbu, we had paid him off to follow the Haruno family closely and with care. What the Anbu had uncovered would cause the whole city to go into an uproar if it were aired. The fact that a highly spoken of Anbu treated his own daughter in such a way and had been getting away with it. "This doesn't bode well for you Haruno."
…
Two months since that day.. We sat in silence in the quiet court room, aside from a few of the higher ups, it was fairly empty. They're trying to keep this all under the radar.. "Sakura Haruno, please approach the stand before we give our final verdict. We have a couple more questions we would like answered," Judge Tsunade spoke sternly motioning for the pinkette to approach. I squeeze her hand one last time before releasing it, "I'm right here baby." She nodded, a silent thank you for the support. Everything is going to be fine.. You almost have your freedom Saku-Chan..
…
Sakura practically ran out of the court house tears of joy streaming down her sun-kissed cheeks, dragging me, by hand, behind her. "Its over! He's really gone, I-I'm really.." my cherry blossom was so ecstatic she couldn't even find her words. I smiled and suddenly she threw her arms around me, our lips smashing into each other as she showed her appreciation in the only way she could think to at the moment. Kami.. I think this new found freedom of hers is going to be great for both of us.. She pulled away, blushing a bright shade of red after realizing how aggressive she just was, "G-Gomen.. Hina-chan I just-," stopping her midsentence I kissed her soft lips gently, pulling away with a mischievous smirk. "Don't worry Saku, I like this side of you," I didn't think her blush could get any darker but damn she proved me wrong. I giggled and threw her a wink, "So what would you like to do on your first night of freedom, Miss Haruno?," my question more suggestive than anything. She smiled, "Well…."
