Title: Daddy
Rating: G
Genre: Introspective/Drama
Comments: Sakura, and two of the people in her life hardly ever mentioned. (100 words)
He was gone. She just woke up one morning and he was gone.
"Mommy, where's Daddy? Where'd Daddy go?"
She'd found her mother sitting at the kitchen table, sobbing into her arms next to a full pot of steaming coffee. The pot ran cold and thick long before her tears were exhausted.
They blamed each other occasionally. Heated arguments that would either end with slammed doors, or desperate, lonely hugs.
"When's Daddy coming back?"
Her mother never answered, but her tears stopped that day. Sakura cried for much longer.
She didn't stop crying until a girl gave her a ribbon.
Word From the Authoress:
Inspired by a passing thought on what Sakura's relationship with her mother is, and where her father fits into it. Too many people forget that Sakura is the only one in Team 7 who isn't an orphan. But then again, most of the time the parents/grown-ups in general are indeed forgotten. This was my take on an idea of hers.
