TENTEN IS BETTER FOR NEJI AND SAKURA SHOULD BE WITH SASUKE!

srry but I feel better now. Now I have to tell you that Rikka is young but she's old enough to say some words. As the story goes on her words become better. If any japanese words you dont know look on the first chapter or ask me.


Tsunade was clenching her fists still. "That means, when Naruto calls me 'Obaa-chan' its going to be true. Oh my god, I think I need some sake!" she snapped, looking out the window with a head ache.

CHAPTER 2

Sakura and Neji

"Sakura, if you want; I'll tell Kakashi in the morning, while you and Rikka go to the store, and buy what you need." he whispered softly; seeing that Rikka was already asleep in her 'Okaa-san's' arms.

Sakura yawned, "Thanks Neji. I'll make sure to get everything in the morning. Maybe if you could ask Kakashi-sensei: if I could bring Rikka with me to training." she asked as she walked into her house, "Again Neji; thanks for everything."

"No problem, Sakura." he smirked, as she tried to give him his jacket back, without waking Rikka. "Sakura, just keep it until tomorrow."

Sakura nodded, as she went inside, and sat on a rocking chair, next to the window. Outside, the sky was lit with many stars and the beautiful moon. Rikka started to wake up from a nightmare. "Okaa-san!" she cried, as she grabbed onto Sakura's loose shirt, tears streaming down her face.

Sakura put her index and middle finger on her forehead. Slowly, Sakura crept into her daughter's mind, seeing what the nightmare was about. It was about Orochimaru, and oddly enough, what looked to be Itachi was there too.

"Hush... you're alright now Rikka." she whispered in a motherly tone. "Do you want me to sing to you?" she asked softly. My mom would always sing to me when I was scared. Maybe I could sing mom's song, just to keep it alive.

"Okaa-san sing... sing." Rikka whispered softly, cuddling into her chest, seeking the warmth that she knew was there. Sakura smiled, and wrapped a blanket around them with a smile.

"Now Rikka, this is our little secret, alright?" she said, as she kissed Rikka on the forehead. Rikka giggled, meaning she understood. Sakura took in a deep breath and began to rock back and forth in the chair as she hummed the melody. Soon her humming turned into words. (look for song on my bio!)

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Always puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Rikka smiled, as she drifted to sleep, at the sound of her new mother's soft voice. Sakura smiled, as she looked down at her, Rikka, you're just like me, always falling asleep when my mother would sing to me. I love that song, and now I'm the one singing it. Isn't that ironic?

Sakura brushed Rikka's light brown hair out of her eyes. You're safe now Rikka, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here to protect you. You'll meet; Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, and Sasuke. I know you'll like them. Neji and I will be there for you, so you have nothing to worry about with us there.

Sakura soon fell asleep in the chair, rocking back and forth as Rikka sleep in her arms. Without knowing, she smiled in her sleep, knowing that she had saved Rikka from another nightmare.

THE NEXT DAY

Neji walked onto the bridge to meet Sasuke and Naruto, with a late Kakashi. "Naruto when does Kakashi come?" he asked unaware of the fact Kakashi was always late.

"He's always late. Anyway why are you here Neji?" Naruto asked looking up at the Hyuuga prodigy.

Neji smirked, "I need to talk with Kakashi about Sakura. Hokage-sama wanted to, but she couldn't be here." Neji lied, making it sound important.

"If it has anything to do with Sakura-chan, we should know." Naruto snapped crossing his arms on his chest.

Kakashi appeared like usual; in a cloud of smoke and said, "Neji, I just talked with Sakura. She'll be late but she'll come. Do you want to go and help her?" Kakashi asked. Neji nodded, and walked off, "Be back before noon!" Kakashi snapped waving at the Hyuuga.
