Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: The Harunos

Manicure

Sakura's mother never actually SHOWS, but we do hear her voice and she is mentioned a few times. So we can only assume she actually exists in real life. And just so you're not freaked out and confused later, she shall be addressed as Blakura. Hey, thanks phantomgamer01 and Bro for helping get us OFF our temporary writer's block! You guys… are the MEN.

This particular morning was exceptionally glorious and precious. The birds were singing and the sun was shining. It was a beautiful spring day with little wind and the exact right temperature that would make everyone comfortable! As the sun basked its rays of light down on the Haruno house, a wailing figure suddenly came running up the front steps and flung the door open.

"MOM!" screamed Sakura, running through the house in search of her mother whose name is Blakura. "MOM!"

"Sakura!" came the voice of Blakura as she hurried over. "Oh Sakura. Whatever is the matter?"

Sakura wept and wept and could not even bring herself to answer for another few minutes. Every time she tried to say, only more wails came out. Finally, she found the strength to speak.

"It's Sasuke." Sakura said. "He called me annoying again!"

"Oh Sakura." Said Blakura as she hugged Sakura. Sakura continued to cry.

"What am I going to do?" Sakura asked. "I LOVE him!"

"Well, it's like I always tell you!" said Blakura. "NEVER give up! Always fight as hard as you can until you accomplish your goal or die trying! Here, how about we talk about it while we do our nails?"

"Okay." Said Sakura, wiping her eyes.

Blakura had a feeling something bad was going to happen that day with her mother's intuition so she had already gotten her manicure station all ready just in case. The two of them went over and started making their nails look pretty while they talked some more.

"I just don't understand!" Sakura said. "Why doesn't he love me too?"

"Sakura, he's a boy!" said Blakura. "You can't predict what a boy is thinking. Sometimes they do extremely outlandish things without explanation!"

"Like call me annoying?" Sakura asked.

"Exactly." Said Blakura. "I remember when I first saw your father. It was love at first sight!"

"Did you have a rocky relationship?" Sakura said. "And then end up falling in love later on in life?"

"Um…no…" Blakura admitted. "It was love at first sight for him too."

"Oh." Said Sakura, looking disappointed.

"But that's beside the point!" Blakura said quickly. "Why don't you start thinking about getting to know another boy? You're still young. You don't have to focus all your attention on one boy."

"But Mom!" said Sakura. "This isn't just ANY boy. This is SASUKE we're talking about. You've seen him!"

"Yes…I've seen him…" sighed Blakura. "That's exactly why I think you should get interested in someone else. He's the kind of guy that will never stick around."

"But Mom…" sighed Sakura dreamily. "Whenever I see him…"

Sakura thought for the right words.

"Sakura…please…" Blakura said before Sakura could just embarrass herself. "What about that other boy that's on your team? What is his name? Naruto? I think he likes you."

"Blech." Said Sakura. "Mom, I KNOW he likes me. And I don't care."

"Come now, Sakura!" said Blakura. "Don't be so shallow."

"Mom, I realized a little while ago…" Sakura started. "I think Sasuke is gay!"

"Well, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he was." Blakura said.

"What?!" said Sakura. "WHY?!"

"Because all good looking men always turn out to be gay." Blakura said.

"All of them do?" Sakura said, looking hopeless.

"All of them." Blakura said. "Just think about all the good looking men you know. Especially if they have a good fashion sense. If he's good looking and dresses well, then he's gay."

Sakura sighed. "Well…I guess Lee's the most un-gay guy in the world." She said finally.

"Lee?" Blakura said. "Rock Lee? The boy who comes by with the flowers?"

"Yeah, THAT Lee." Sakura answered.

"He's um…cute…" Blakura said. "In a weird sort of way…think of it this way! He's so ugly that he's cute! Right?"

"MOM!" said Sakura. "You have no idea what you're talking about so just stop it, okay?! Not ALL good looking well dressed guys are gay."

"Think about it, Sakura." Blakura advised.

Sakura thought. Did she know any other good-looking guys who dressed well? Maybe she was just biased because of…Sasuke…wow. Sasuke.

"Mom?" said Sakura. "Is there any way to make a guy un-gay?"

"Oh sure." Said Blakura. "All you have to do is charm him off his feet."

"Even if he thinks I'm annoying?" Sakura said, getting a pouty face.

"Even if!" Blakura answered.

"Wow Mom!" said Sakura. "You always know what to say! I'm marching right back out there and talking to Sasuke! I'll show him that I'm work his time!"

"Go for it, Sakura." Said Blakura as Sakura stood up and blew on her nails to dry them. Then she frolicked out the door, as happy as can be.

Salutations readers! This is Luigi! I'm putting this note at the bottom of this chapter because I am away at college and I would like to know if anyone out there, besides me, goes to the University of New Hampshire? If anyone does, that would be positively lovely and I would simply adore a rendezvous. Well, cheerio!
