--------------JUST FOR FUN-------------------
Sasuke work up to the sound of his alarm clock. After a while, he got up to turn it off. As he opened the curtain, bright sunshine flowed into the room.
"Sasuke! It's time for breakfast!" his mom called from downstairs.
Sasuke went out of his room and headed downstairs.
As Sasuke and his parents were having breakfast, someone came into the room. It was Itachi.
The three completely froze at the sight.
"Mom, Dad, and Sasuke…I'm sorry about everything. I realized that…that I was lacking the heart to love."
The three were still frozen in a complete shock.
"May I join you?" Itachi asked with a kind voice.
The three nodded.
Itachi came and sat next to Sasuke. As Sasuke looked at his brother, he looked at Sasuke, too, and smiled as if everything was normal.
----
"Sasuke! Sakura-chan is here!" his mom called him from downstairs. "Sasuke!"
Sasuke jumped out of his bed. It was his first official date with Sakura. Sasuke looked at his alarm clock and the alarm had already been turned off. Sasuke quickly got ready. He had prepared everything the night before. His clothes were already laid by the bed.
Sasuke ran down the stairs and Sakura was waiting at the door. She smiled and waved at him. She looked pretty with a bead necklace and a casual, one-piece dress, which had a touch of pink.
"Here you go. I made a box lunch," Sakura said and handed a box lunch wrapped in a pink bandana.
Sasuke blushed and received it. His mom contently watched the two interact.
Sasuke turned to his mom and said, "I'm off. I'll be back by 5."
"Have fun!" his mom said and waved.
Sasuke and Sakura went out the door and started walking towards the park.
"I had a strange dream," Sasuke started.
"A strange dream? What was it about?" Sakura asked.
"Itachi came home and he wanted to join the breakfast.…He looked like a normal person. It would have been eerie that way but it didn't feel like it."
"Maybe that's what Itachi really wants. Join the family again," Sakura said. "When he saved us out of the water, the way he grabbed my wrist was so similar to yours. I felt the same warmth in him." Sakura smiled.
"I've always resented him but I don't know why it's been that way. I don't know how it started," Sasuke said and sighed.
Sasuke and Sakura went into the park and sat on a bench.
"Sasuke-kun. Did you just get up?" Sakura just asked.
"…Yeah," Sasuke answered shyly.
"There is a piece of hair sticking up on your head," Sakura laughed.
Sasuke touched his hair with both hands.
"Here," Sakura pulled the piece of hair. Her lively smile comforted Sasuke.
Itachi was walking by the park and saw Sakura and Sasuke sitting next to each other laughing. There, clearly, was a bubble of happiness around them. Itachi stopped and watched them for a while. He did not notice that there was a smile on his face.
"Excuse me." Itachi heard a voice from below. He looked down and there was a little girl standing. "Could you get my balloon for me?" She pointed at the pink balloon that was stuck between the branches of a tree.
Itachi said, "Sure."
He climbed the tree and got the balloon for the little girl.
"Thank you!" the girl thanked him and went away happily.
The little girl was so lively and innocent. Itachi wondered how anyone could harm a girl like her. He, then, realized how he had changed and how the thought came out of him naturally. Itachi looked in the direction of Sasuke and Sakura. They were still sitting on the bench eating their lunch.
Itachi looked up to the clear sky and sighed. He inhaled the clean air. He saw the green leaves glittering with the sunshine. He looked down at his feet, looked up at the road, and headed home.
