I'm Sorry kari-chan! Truly I am, I was even crying while I was typing it! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

"Hello, welcome, welcome," Hao greeted warmly. Sakura just sat there smiling.

The visitors smiled as they sat down.

Chapter 13 ------

They all started to eat the food that was placed in front of them. Sushi, apples, grapes, squid, and all that other food Sakura didn't know. Sakura waited for Hao to try something before she did, only because she was accustomed to waiting. "No need to wait Sakura-kun," Hao smiled.

Sakura took a piece of squid and ate it. Of course it was cooked to perfection.

As dinner finished, everyone went into the main hall. Hao and the elder man had gone off to talk while he left Sakura with a lady and two smaller children, probably around 4 or 5.

"Bet ya can't catch me Kiyo-kun!" the girl said as she ran out the front door.

"Yeah huh!" the boy followed.

"I'm sorry about them, they tend to be a little jumpy after they eat," the lady apologized.

"Oh, it's no trouble," Sakura waved and smiled.

The lady smiled back. "What is your name?" she asked.

"It's Sakura," she replied, "what is yours?"

"Kohana," she smiled, "seems like we're both named after flowers," she joked.

Sakura smiled and nodded her head.

"Mommy, Kisa pushed me!" the little boy came back yelling and pointing to his knee.

"Kisa, what have I told you about that?" Kohana asked, taking a look at Kiyo's knee.

"Sorry," she apologized looking all cute and innocent.

"Here, let me help him," Sakura suggested as she went down to his level.

"Do you mind if I take care of you?" Sakura asked.

The little boy wiped his tears and shook his head 'no.'

"Come on, let's go," Sakura said as she picked him up and carried him to a room.

Kohana and the little girl followed them in.

Sakura set the boy down and began to look for something to clean it with and something to bandage it up. She found some rubbing alcohol and bandages.

(A/N: I really have no idea if that was there but deal with it.)

"This might hurt a bit, but I promise you'll be fine," Sakura said as she poured some on a cloth and began to rub it over his knee. He tried his best to hold in his screams and did a good job.

"Wow, I'm impressed. You did a good job," Sakura smiled as she tied the bandage around his knee, "there, all done."

The little boy looked at it and smiled, "Arigato."

Sakura smiled back, "Let's go get you two a snack."

The children followed her into the kitchen holding on to her kimono.

"Hope you two don't mind rice balls," Sakura said as she made two.

The two shook their heads and took one from her.

"You are too kind," Kohana said as she smiled at Sakura. "No, it's nothing," Sakura smiled back.

The children finished the rice balls and went to the entrance to see their father and Hao waiting.

"Ready?" their father asked.

They all nodded their heads.

"Asakura, you have a good fiancée, take great care of her," Kohana said before she left.

Hao smiled while Sakura blushed.

Yeah, this was just a little 'blip' chapter...what ever that means...:rolls eyes:

Please review!
