Breaking The Ice

Chapter Six:

It was morning and Sakura woke up to the sun shining on her face. She made her way to the bathroom to take a shower and later she got dressed. She made her way to the kitchen to make breakfast when she heard the doorbell ring. She groaned and looked at the clock. Who would be coming to her house at 6 AM? Sakura hesitantly opened the door and saw that it was the Hokage. "Good morning, Sakura. May I come in?" He asked. "Of course, please come in. Have a seat in the living room." The Hokage made his way over to the couch and sat down. "Sakura, I have something to tell you, it is very improtant." Sakura sat down on the couch curiously. "Your parents, have been declared dead since of this morning on their mission to Snow Country." He explained. Sakura's parents were both ANBU and left to go on their mission five weeks ago to assassinate a drug lord by the name of Minatsuki.

"The mission was a success, he has been declared dead but in the process, they used their chidori past their limit and died. I am so sorry for your loss. We have deployed some ANBU to find their bodies to have a proper burial." The Hokage finished. Sakura was at a loss for words and started to cry, telling herself that this was just a dream. She pinched herself, it was real. The Hokage embraced her and said, "I know how you feel, just let it all out." He looked at the clock on the wall. "I have a meeting in five min. Will you be alright by yourself?" He asked. "Yes." Sakura replied. "I wouldn't want you to miss your meeting because of me." The Hokage then left. "Goodbye Sakura, take care." He said. "You too." Sakura replied.

'This can't be.' She thought getting back to making breakfast. 'They were the only family I had.' Sakura thought. She then made pancakes and began to eat. She rested on the couch after cleaning up and thought when the ANBU would find their bodies. Sakura looked up to the clock, it was seven o'clock. She promised she'd meet up with Hinata because she had something important tell her. 'I wonder what it could be.' She thought as she made her way to Hinata and Naruto's house.

Hinata over the years had overcome her shyness ever since she started dating Naruto. Thanks to him, Hinata had become more open since she had married him. Sakura knocked on the door and Hinata opened the door. "Come in Sakura, I have something important tell you. Come into the living room." Sakura followed her inside. Hinata motioned toward the couch and Sakura sat down. "Naruto isn't here, so I can tell you without him walking in. He's at the Ichiraku Ramen again." Hinata rolled her eyes. "So what do you want to tell me?" Sakura asked. "Sakura, I'm pregnant." Hinata stated.

Sakura's face lit up. "I am so happy for you! How many months?" "Two months, but I am afraid to tell Naruto, so I told you first." Hinata said. "Well you should tell him, tell him today. He is the father, right?" Sakura asked. "Of course, what do you take me for?" They both started laughing. "Hey, you want to go out for breakfast?" Hinata asked. "No thanks, I ate an hour ago so I'm full." Sakura stated. "Well then come with me, you can watch me eat." Hinata replied. "But first, do you want to tell me why you are so sad?"

Hinata had been the type of person who could tell when someone was keeping something from her. And she saw right through Sakura. "Well, I found out this morning that my parents are dead." Sakura explained then she started crying. Hinata started rubbing her back and told her to let it out, after about a box of tissues later, Sakura felt better. She had stopped crying and was smiling again. "Now, come with me to Denny's and you can watch me eat." She said as she dragged Sakura with her.

Meanwhile, Naruto was finishing his third bowl of Ramen when Sasuke came and sat on a stool beside him. "Shrimp Ramen, please." He told a man behind the counter. The man nodded and went to the back. "Good morning Sasuke." Naruto said. "Morning." Sasuke replied. His ramen came and he started eating. "Naruto, I have a question. What was your first date like with Hinata?" Sasuke asked. "Why do you wanna know?" Naruto asked curiously. "Well, I asked Sakura out on a date for later this evening. I don't know what to do." "You know how to cook, right? Make her dinner or take her out. I heard a carnival was coming to Konoha this afternoon." Naruto said pushing his bowl away as he stood up. Sasuke also finished his ramen and stood up. "That's a great idea." Sasuke stated as they both walked out of the Ichiraku Ramen. "I'll cook her this stir-fry that is really good and take her to the carnival. I gotta go buy groceries since all I have in my fridge is beer and cheese." Sasuke answered. "Since when do you drink?" Naruto asked. "Since two years ago." Sasuke stated. (The legal age in Konoha is 16 years.) Naruto smirked and said, "Well then, I should invite you for a drink sometime." "You're on, dobe." Sasuke replied as he walked off to the local Konoha Grocery Store.
