Kakashi was strolling in the park and he was disinterested in the people. He leans on a tree, it's very shady and cool on a hot day like this. A little girl was playing on the swings unattended. Wired. He watched her in case some thing happened. I mean really, who is so careless enough to let a child go out alone? It was the afternoon now, the little girl's mom picked her up and they left for home.
It was night time and Kakashi was home and it was empty. He sighed and went to a hollow sleep.
Mebuki and Sakura were getting lunch finished up. She finally started tucking her daughter in and went to bed her self.
Hey, Sakura.
What is it, Uchi Naru?
I think we were being watched earlier, you know in the park?
I think you're right. But, who?
Don't know.
Well...nothing happened right?
Yeah.
So it's okay, right?
I guess...well, good night!
Night!
Sakura slept peacefully and she was excited for that morning. Her dad was visiting again! Yay!
She waited for hours. They ticked by.
"Mommy? Where is daddy?"
"I don't know sweetie."
She was lying, but she couldn't tell her the truth. Kizashi had an ailment and died.
"Is he coming tomorrow?"
"I..."
She looked her in the eye...she can't hold it any more. She doesn't want her daughter to feel abandoned by her father by never coming back.
"Sakura, daddy is gone."
Sakura widen her eyes with little tears.
"Y-you don't mean...daddy left d-do you?"
"I mean...he will be sleeping for a long time, he won't wake up any time soon. I'm so sorry."
She held her as she cried her eyes out. Sakura went to her room.
Sakura...
Y-yes?
Listen...I know you are sad, but...we need to be strong.
Sakura widen her eyes at this and agreed.
You're right! No more crying!
Yeah, never cry again!
Besides, we don't have the right to cry.
People suffer every day. So, what does it matter what happens to us?
Yeah...who knows, worst thing happen.
Now, dry those tears and smile!
Smile?
Smiles can hide anything!
Really?
Yeah!
Okay!
From that day on, she never cried when she'd fall and stuff. She would brush it off and smile.
One day, Sakura had to go out side the village with her mom. They had to buy some things. But...the village was poor! Sakura got separated from her mom and got lost.
BYE!
Truo: Have you seen my black top?
No, sorry.
Turo: Sigh...okay. I'll just wear the white one.
Why are you asking anyways? Going on a da-
Turo hit Dragon Girl in the head stomped off.
Owe...jerk.
