It's been a year since Sakura visited the Saiko no nation. It was her first time and that was the first time she also met him. She is in her room reading some books when she heard the knock on her door.
"Come in." Shizune, her sussheki walked in.
"Lady Sakura, Master Kurenai is already here. She said she is ready to teach you."
"Ok. I'll be right there. Thank you Shizune."
"Oh it's nothing my lady. I'll just tell Master Kurenai that you will be at the study room in a few minutes." Shizune headed towards the door and in mere seconds she was gone.
After Shizune left Sakura stand up and went to the mirror to check herself. Seeing that she look good enough, she went back to her study table grab a pen and a notebook and got out of the room. When she opened the study room she saw Kurenai standing by the window.
"I'm here now Master Kurenai."
"Lady Sakura, good morning." Kurenai bows. "Are you ready for your lessons this morning?"
"I'm ready now, Master Kurenai." Then they then started Sakura's lesson for the day.
"You are learning fast Lady Sakura, you have improved really well. I think visiting the Saiko no is a good way for you to truly understand how it works. Keep it up Lady Sakura and you will be at your best. I must go now, I know you have other things to do it's still a long day for you." Kurenai stand up and bows to Sakura, when she was about to leave the room Sakura asks her a question.
"Wait, Master Kurenai, I have something to ask you it's been bothering me since I got home from the Saiko no..."
"What is it, Lady Sakura? As long as I can answer your question you are free to ask me anything..."
"It's about a tree that I saw at the garden in the Saiko no. You see it was a Sakura tree that really looks like the sakura tree here in our garden, but the difference between the two is that it's flowers are glowing, like it has some light inside those flowers; and then I remember, Uchiha told me that there are fireflies that lives inside those flowers...he said that there's a jutsu on both fireflies and the Sakura tree as a symbol."
"So what is your question about it then? What lord Sasuke said was true that there's a jutsu on both of them."
"He said something about the symbol; I didn't have the chance to ask him what that symbol is for?"
"So it's about the symbol? Well I think I have an answer on that. You see, that Sakura tree that you saw there was actually a symbol for the alliance between the Senshi and this nation. Long before this world prosper, the Uchiha of the Senshi and your clan worked hard to build the eleventh nation that was the Saiko no. When everything was in order the previous leaders of both clan made an alliance with each
other, the fireflies symbolizes the Uchiha clan and the Sakura tree for the Haruno clan. They'd put a jutsu on those two that the fireflies would light up the Sakura tree, that means that the bond between the two nations are strong. However, when the fireflies suddenly disappear and the Sakura tree doesn't have any flowers anymore, it means that the alliance between the two is broken. But you don't have to worry on the last part that I said, it will never happen; Lord Fugaku and Lord Masaru are not just allies but they are friends as well so there's a much stronger bond between them. Did I satisfy you Lady Sakura?"
"Well indeed, Master Kurenai. Thank you, now I know what it means, I just hope that the bond will not be broken."
"Of course it won't. Many leaders from the clan had passed and the bond is getting stronger and stronger, so it won't happen. I'm pretty sure about that."
"What if it will be broken when the time comes that I will be the ruler of this nation? What if the Senshi withdraw their alliance with us?"
"Why do you say such thing? I don't think that Lord Sasuke, the future leader of the Senshi will do that. And why would he do that?"
"I'm pretty sure he will. You see I told you that I met him at the Saiko no in that garden where I saw that tree. At first I think he was ok, but then he suddenly became arrogant...I was just asking for his name because I didn't know that he was Uchicha Sasuke and then suddenly he told me that it was a shame not to know because everybody knows him and I do not. I felt really angry on what he told me so I shouted at him and told him that he was very arrogant and then he said that he will never forgive me, but...but it was not my fault in the first place. That's why I'm saying that they might withdraw their alliance with us."
Watching Sakura said those words amused Kurenai, on how Sakura cannot hide her emotions, at first she's very worried and then she became angry and then calm. It was a good factor and at the same time a bad factor for her. Kurenai thinks that she must learn to make an impassive reaction sometimes; Sakura has yet to learn that ability.
"Is that why you are worried that much? I believe that he just said that because he was annoyed, he was after all very popular and almost everybody knows him. You two are still young and no matter how we teach you, your mind still thinks how a kid thinks and we cannot blame you on that, when you grow older and if you will be reminded of that incident again, I'm sure you will just smile and say what a silly thought. If my presence is not needed anymore I might as well be going, I took so much of your time already, you are a very busy person I'm sure you got little time to do kids stuff so I'll go now. Have a nice day Lady Sakura."
"Thanks for everything Master Kurenai, I'll see you tomorrow then."
The following day, Shizune told Sakura that they are going to the Saiko no Nation with her Aunt Tsunade and to her surprised with her father too. They arrived two days after at the Saiko no. She knew
something important is about to happen for it is very different than the last time. Everybody is wearing a uniform that they only wear on the day of the inauguration of the next Junrei. Even she dressed differently. She is wearing a ten layer kimono that is made out of satin she is wearing a sash that she only use if she will meet some important people that visited their nation. The people from other nations also wear their respective dresses which state their rank in their nations.
Last time, she and her Aunt went to the Genbu Hall but this time they are heading to the Byakku Hall, as far as she knows this hall is use whenever there is an important announcement that will come from the Junrei and as well as that this hall is where the new Junrei will be appointed.
The Byakku hall is the room itself, only a few doors can be seen. Chairs and tables along with the different flags of the Nations are inside the hall. The delegates from the other nations start to seat or their designated area. Being one of the three major nations in the Shihai world, the area that they are in is close the stage wherein the Junrei is located; on their left side are the members of the Uchiha clan and on their right side is suppose to be a place for the Kogei nation but what is odd is that there is no representative from the Hebi clan. The center stage is being surrounded by the four pillars of the Saiko no, The Hakui Nation in the south, the Fuwa Nation on the north, Taifu nation for the east and on the west is the Keiji nation. There is also a special place for the Tensai nation wherein Hyuuga Hiashi, Neiji and Hinata are located they seat opposite to the direction on where the Uzumaki clans are. The Junrei on the other hand is with the Naibu nation, simply because they do take care of him.
The ceremony is about to start. Lord Narra rose from his sit and approaches the stage. He introduced the Junrei to everybody. Lord Uchicha Madara, the fifth Junrei stands up and everyone rise from their seats, as he walk gracefully towards the stage, the people cannot help but be amazed on his composure.
"We are all gathered here to witness an important event. As you all know, I've been ruling the Saiko No Nation four hundred years now, during my term I felt that I met your needs and wishes as your Supreme ruler, I think that I've done my part very well and I cannot do it without your cooperation and support. It's with your knowledge that I am planning to pass the position when I reach my 400 year term as the Junrei, and I believe that this moment has arrived. After debating and deliberately discussed by the four pillars of this world on who will be the next Junrei among the three nations, it has come to their conclusion that Uchiha Fugaku from the Senshi Nation will be the sixth Junrei of the Shihai World. Uchicha Fugaku from the Uchiha Clan of the Senshi Nation, please come forth."
Uchiha Fugaku walked towards the stage where he meets Uchiha Madara.
"As the Junrei who is about to give up the soveignity that I once had, I appoint you Lord Uchiha Fugaku as the legitimate sixth Junrei of the Shihai World. I do congratulate you for achieving this position."
Everybody clap their hands as Lord Uchiha Fugaku receives the sceptre that resembles a sword from the former Junrei. "You may now have your speech."
"First and foremost, I do thank the four pillars for choosing me as the next Junrei. It is such an honor to receive such title although I know that title has its own burden. I also want to thank Lord Haruno
Masaru of the Kusuri Nation for his support and understanding towards this matter. I wish to extend also my gratitude to Orochimaru although he is not with us this day. I promise that I will work hard to make this place as it is now and if the destiny allows me, I will make it even better. I do have a favour to ask to all of you. I will ask for your cooperation and your support just like the support you had given to our former Junrei. I will not prolong my speech any longer. I do accept this duty and I will fulfill the role with my life along with it. Thank you."
Once again, the people applauded one more time. As soon as the ceremony ended the delegates from the Nations were escorted to the Seryuu Hall wherein the Junrei resides. Each nation had been given enough rooms for them to be comfortable until the celebration is over.
In the middle of night, Sakura woke up to drink water. When she left her room she heard her father and Aunt talking about something. Out of curiosity, she comes closer to the door to listen further.
"I can't believe Lord Orochimaru did not show up. Is that he's answer to the decision of the four pillars? Retaliation?"
"I don't know Tsunade, but one thing's for sure. He thought that the pillars will chose him over the three of us. I am just hoping that he's just a disappointed that he was not chosen."
"But what if the rumours are true? That he is planning to sabotage Lord Fugaku so that he could take over?"
"He's not wise enough then; even if he succeeds still he can't be the Junrei for the pillars will not allow him to do so? He's likely to commit suicide then if he's going to do that."
"That's the worse part of it; most probably he will not do it openly. He will do something behind your backs, with no trace or evidence that he is not culprit. He's good at doing that, I assure you. You must be careful and warn Lord Fugaku about this; and even if he will not succeed to take the position, he would probably be happy just for destroying the system that our ancestors made just to make this world powerful in this universe.'
"I know what you are saying Tsunade, but right now, we can't accuse Orochimaru of anything, it is not a valid reason that he's planning a coup against the Shikai no just because he didn't attend the ceremony, and we don't have evidence either. What we can do for now is to be on guard on what might happen."
"I understand brother. You should be extra careful from now on, even if you are not chosen to be a Junrei he might do something to you as part of he's rebellion. Sakura is still a child, having no mother at such a young age; she would be devastated if something's going to happen to you."
"Lord Orochimaru plans to destroy the Saiko no? And because of him my father's life is in danger?" Sakura murmured as she hears the conversation of the two. Wanting to hear no more she ran to her
room and started crying. She remembered how it hurts when one of your love ones passes away. She just hopes that her father and everyone in the Saiko no will be safe from the hands of Orochimaru.
After the proclamation of the sixth Junrei, the Saiko no has been very busy for the past one week. One week of celebration that the Shihai will be having a new chapter of its life with the new Junrei. Everybody's mingling and socializing with one another and everybody seems to be happy except for one, and that is Sakura. After hearing that conversation that night she can't help but to be worried. For her, it's not just right that because Orochimaru didn't get want he wanted, he will just destroy the world without even caring of what will happen to the people that lives on it.
While everybody's being busy partying, Sakura went to the garden and sat on the bench when she and Sasuke first met. For how long that she's been there thinking about the situation that might arise, she don't know, all the she knows is that she wanted the serenity of the place and the magical view that's in front of her, the glowing Sakura tree.
"So are you lost again? Do you want me to call your Aunt Tsunade or your father instead?"
A voice just came out of nowhere. And that voice, that very familiar voice; Sakura didn't need to look at the face that owns that voice, she knows it too well, the voice that she will never forget. The voice of Uchiha Sasuke.
Having in no mood to argue with the arrogant boy, Sakura didn't even bother to answer him back nor look for him, she just continued staring at the Sakura tree. The tree wherein she can find some hope and security that everything will be alright. Sasuke noticing that Sakura didn't even bother to acknowledge his presence got mad. Nobody snobs Uchiha Sasuke, and besides this is sanctuary after all. This girl doesn't have the right to be here. Getting down from the tree he approach Haruno Sakura.
"Oi! Are you deft or are you just being so arrogant? I'm talking to you. Nobody ignores me, nobody dares. Nobody can."
Sakura being just a stubborn girl sometimes ignore Uchiha Sasuke's words and continue what she's doing. Sasuke on the other hand, being annoyed at the situation that he's in, suddenly got really pissed off and approach Sakura even closer.
"You started to get on my nerves girl. I am talking to you and you should talk to me. Are you listening?! You should look at me when I'm talking to you!!" Still not getting any response from the girl, he holds Sakura's right arm and turning her over so she can look to him. When their faces meet he got caught at what he saw. Those emerald eyes that stared at him defiantly before now looks at him with fright and worry in those eyes. He didn't know how to describe the feeling that he feels right now but he's pretty sure that he doesn't want to see her in that state. Suddenly the words that he said to her a while ago starts to come back, he thought that he did hurt her feelings so bad. He doesn't know how to say sorry and he doesn't want to be sorry although he knows that she didn't do anything wrong to him. She's just minding herself and there he was being an arrogant jerk said some things bad about her.
"I...I...I didn't mean what I said earlier. I... it was your fault. You didn't even bother to answer me nor acknowledge my presence. " Sasuke said this to Sakura while letting go of her arm. After a minute of silence, there's still no response coming from Sakura. Sasuke getting annoyed again because he thinks that he did apologize already and getting nothing in return. He was about to say something about how it's hard for him to say that he didn't mean it and if she is still mad at him then he can do nothing about it anymore because he had done his part already when suddenly Sakura said something.
"I have a question to ask you. If it's our time that the pillars will choose the Junrei in the three of us, and you hadn't been chosen, will you get angry? And will think of destroying the Saiko no?"
"What are you saying?"
"Just answer my question. Will you? Will you destroy it just because you are frustrated, that you will plan of destroying this nation without even thinking how will it affect the others?'
"Is that a kind a kind of person you think I am? You sure think so lowly of me. But to answer your question, I won't I don't think that it will ever occur in my mind. I know that our ancestors worked hard just to give us this kind of life we are having now."
"Really? Even if you think that you do deserve to be the Junrei?"
"That's for sure. I know that the four pillars and the other members of the Saiko no will choose wisely, they know what they are doing and you can see it in this world. They didn't make any mistakes in choosing the Junreis. Everybody had been successful in their own right."
"Yah I think you are right. I just hope that nothing bad will happen in this world."
"Is that why you are here instead of being at the party? Thinking about nonsense? I don't know what kind of person you are, you think very weird things."
Upon hearing this from the Uchiha, Sakura from being worried and calm became angry and started yelling at Sasuke. "I'm not weird! I do think unlike you, being late and not being a serious person that you should be! And I don't think of something without basis, I just heard a conversation about Lord Orochimaru, that he didn't accept that he was not chosen as the Junrei and that he is planning to sabotage this nation. I, being worried on what might happen to my father if a war suddenly occurs! Now if you think that's being weird then so be it!!"
Sakura's face is now red for being angry and frustrated on the situation, on the other hand Sasuke just keep staring at Sakura as she's making her speech. She can't help but be astonish on what he just heard and mainly because of Sakura's changing of mood, it's so easy for her to express what she feels, she is like a water, can be calm that soothes your ears but can be really dangerous when it turns into tsunami. Unlike him, he's always impassive, he can barely say what he wants to say, he can't be himself, he can't be like her; free to say what she wants to say and free to do what she wants to do.
"What now? Aren't you gonna say something about it? You're just going to stare at me and say nothing? Or you are just too annoyed to say something about it?" Sakura shouted again.
Sasuke upon hearing her again and realizing that he looks like a dumb person looking at her with amusement and thinking that it is too embarrassing already did his signature smirk at Sakura.
"I can't believe you. You are worried on that kind of thing? I thought that you look up to this nation so much but I think you still don't. Well what can we expect for a seven year old child like you?"
"What did you say? Didn't you hear what I just said? Aren't you worried about what will might happen if Orochimaru-" and he was cut off by Sasuke.
Let's say that what you said about Lord Orochimaru is right. And that might bring some problem is this nation. Do you think my father, no, the Junrei Lord Uchiha Fugaku will allow such thing? He is not a weak person. And do you also think that your father will let the Junrei be defeated? That's why there is a tree that standing in the middle of the lake. Because of their alliance. Although I know that their strengths are enough to defeat that Orochimaru, there are still four pillars who bowed to protect this nation. You are staring at that tree for a long time and yet you don't know what it is for? I think you were just staring at it because of its beauty but not because of its importance. Just I thought girls just look but never understands. Huh!"
"I do know what it means...That symbolizes the bond between your nation and our nation. It's been there for how many years now. And I think what you said is true, even if Lord Orochimaru plans to destroy this nation he won't prevail." Sakura smiles at Sasuke.
Seeing her changed her mood again, Sasuke can't help but be really amazed on her. She is becoming quite familiar with him.
"Believe in your father as I believe that he will not let my father down." Sasuke starts to walk away from Sakura.
"Hey where are you going?"
"Do you think I will spend my entire night being with an annoying person like you? Of course not. By the way, I'm two years ahead of you so you should start studying hard. I don't want to work with a person that has a childish brain like yours. Although I don't want to work with you in the near future, I guess I have no choice, that's the hard part of being and Uchiha."
"What did you say?! Well I don't want to work with you either! You'll see on what I am capable of...I'll show you, I will be better than you are!"
"You are so annoying. Don't just talk, do it. I'll be looking forward for it, although I'm sure you can never beat me." And he continue walking away from Sakura, with a smile on his face. The first time he actually smiles.
"Don't worry I'll promise, that I'll be better than you!" Sakura shouted at the retreating form of Sasuke. She murmured to herself, "Thank you Sasuke."
That was the second time that Sakura and Sasuke meets, in the same place but with a different feeling than the last time, a feeling of friendship although no one wants to admit.
It has been 3 years since Uchicha Fugaku was named the sixth Junrei, and so far everything turns out to be fine. The speculations about Orochimaru's plan of rebellion disappeared as he started showing at the Saiko no after one month of Uchiha's inauguration. Sasuke, now being twelve is starting to train for the position of his father at their nation. When he becomes eighteen years old, he will also claim the position in the Executive Department that he's father has also abandoned for being the Junrei. Sakura being two years younger than Sasuke, keeps on studying hard in order to fulfill her promise to Sasuke which her father really likes. Unlike Sasuke, Sakura doesn't have to worry for now about the two positions that she is about to receive because her father still has the title of the leader of the clan and still sits as the head of the legislative department. Same goes to the other children that Sakura met when she was first introduced to the Saiko no nation. When the right time comes, they will replace their parents and act as the leader of their nations and eventually rules the Saiko no as well.
Meanwhile in Junrei's office, Lord Fugaku and Lord Masaru are having a conversation.
"Everything is turning out as what we planned. I do congratulate you for doing a good job as our new Junrei, Lord Fugaku. I am as well honoured that you are not just treating me as the leader of the Excutive department but a companion as well."
"What are you saying Lord Masaru?" It is I who should say thank you. You didn't abandon me and instead you were by my side when there's an animosity on Orochimaru's part. You accepted the pillars decision without any remorse and you support my ruling up until now. Thank you is not enough."
"You are being dramatic your majesty. I will not say that I didn't hope that they will choose me as the Junrei, of course I do; but if the fate doesn't allow me to be the Junrei I do accept it with all my heart. For me, just as long as this world is being a better place for the next generation, I will support whoever the Junrei is even if it's not you, even if it's Lord Orochimaru. I wanted to give everything that I can give so that when the time comes that my daughter, Sakura will replace me as the head and the next person to sit as the next leader of thelegislative Department, I can be sure that she can do her duties with ease. That' all I wanted, Lord Fugaku."
"Such a kind person you are, Lord Masaru. You do not think of power as others think of it. You truly serve this world with so much kindness and truthfulness. Now I am starting to doubt myself, maybe you are a suitable person to be in this position that I am in right now." Lord Fugaku laughs.
"Stop talking nonsense, your majesty. The pillars made the right decision, every one of us has their own personalities and I do think that you might even surpass Lord Madara in ruling this nation."
"You even think so highly of me. By the way how is your daughter doing? Lord Masaru?"
"Sakura? She is doing fine. She's studying hard and she's being ahead of her studies, and it enlightens me that she is being enthusiastic about this matter. Although she is still a bit shy."
"Probably because she's still young. I know for sure that she will grow up as a beautiful lady like her mother and she will rule your nation just as you are ruling it right now."
"I think so too. By the way how is your son? I heard that he's doing some diplomatic things at such a young age? A genius boy like his father? Don't you think?"
"Yes. What you said is true. Since I accepted the position of the Junrei. Sasuke's helping me in ruling our nation, although he's a bit young to handle some situation I am starting to trust him that he can do it. And so far that trust that I've given him was rewarded."
"Good for your nation then, another good ruler. It really runs in the family."
"And so in your family. Lord Masaru, I have a proposition to make."
"Proposition? What is it?"
"Since I have a son and you have a daughter, why not marry them to each other? It will make our alliance much stronger? Our ancestors have been planning it for a long now but haven't succeeded yet. What do you think?"
"Sounds a good idea though, the only problem are the two? Do you think they will agree with this?"
"My Sasuke is a very obedient kid, besides I don't think he doesn't like your Sakura. In fact I saw them talking at the garden when there was a party to celebrate my appointment. I know Sasuke, he doesn't talk to anyone just because he wants to talk especially to girls, and it annoys him. But on your daughter, he's different. I know it."
"I can't believe you are saying it Lord Masaru. But if that's the case, I'm happy that the two are getting along really well.
"So what do you think? Do you accept?"
"Your proposition is beneficiary for the two us, but I don't think that we can decide for the two. When you saw them at the garden that night, it doesn't prove that they may be like each other. I mean maybe because theyre..." He didn't have the time to finish what he wants to say because Lord Fugaku suddenly speaks.
"I know what you mean, Lord Masaru. If you are worried that the two might not like the idea of being engaged to each other without their permission, then we will let them do it."
"I'm glad about your decision Lord Masaru, if they end up being together because that's they wanted then that's very good. We'll just let them be."
"That's settled then. By the way, I haven't seen Sakura since the inauguration, Lord Masaru. If she's not busy can she come here and let her stay for a month?"
"How can I not grant the request of his majesty? I'll tell Tsunade to help Sakura get ready and she's going to be here with in a day or two."
"Thank you for granting my request."
"I know Sakura will be happy if she will know that you wanted her to have a vacation here."
"Then there's nothing to worry about then."
Someone knocked at the door where the two are and Fugaku let him in.
"Your Majesty. Your son, Lord Sasuke has arrived. I've told him that you are with Lord Masaru and will attend to him after." And then he left.
"So? Your son, Sasuke will be with you for... maybe a month? Is that why you invite Sakura to stay here? Fugaku are you planning something?"
Fugaku chuckles. "I did agree that we will not engage the two, but I didn't say I will not do anything to make them closer and to like each other. And, you didn't say anything about it either."
"I can't believe you Fugaku! I don't know if your son and my daughter will not notice that you are planning something, they're not stupid after all." Then Masaru laughs.
"As long as we're not forcing them to do what they don't want to do, I think there's nothing to worry about."
"You really are determined. If that's what you want then I will support you."
"Thank you, Masaru." And they both laugh.
Meanwhile, in the Kusuri Nation...
"Where is it?! I can't believe I lose it!" And then there's a knock on the door.
"Who is it? If it's not important then say it to me later! I'm busy! Tsunade shouted.
"Aunt Tsunade. It's me, Sakura. You called for me? But if you are busy then I'll come back later."
"Oh! Sakura come in!"
"Ahmm...Aunt Tsunade, you called for me? IS there something you need me to do?"
Oh...no...I just called for you because your father sent me a message and he wants you to go to Saiko no and stay there for a month. I told Shizune about this already and as we speak she's preparing everything you need for your departure. And don't worry, Shizune is coming with you to Saiko no."
Tsunade told Sakura without looking at her and keep doing what she is doing.
"Me? I'm going to stay at the Saiko no for a month? Really? Why did father suddenly want me to go?"
"Actually, it's not your father...where in the world is that!...but it's the Junrei who ask your father for you to stay there...arghhh!! I can't find it!!"
"Is that...so...Aunt Tsunade?" Sakura can't help but wonder on what Tsunade is looking for.
"Aunt Tsunade?"
"Yes?" Still not looking at Sakura and instead keeps looking.
"What are you looking for? You are being frustrated already...Do you want me to help you?"
"Oh! No! I'm fine!! I can look for it myself...Why don't you go to your room and fix yourself and you will be leaving within two hours. Ok?"
"Ok. Aunt Tsunade, I'll see you then when I get back. Bye!"
"Bye Sakura. Enjoy your stay at the Saiko no."
"I'll try Aunt Tsunade." Then Sakura left the room.
After Sakura left, Tsunade resumes on what she's doing and after a few minutes she finally found what she is looking for.
"I can't believe I almost loose you!"
Then she drinks it. Her very infamous sake.
"I've been here for two days now. Yet I still do nothing." Sasuke mentally said it while he is in his room.
"Master Sasuke." The servant bows to him.
"Your father is now ready to see you, he is at his office."
"Hn. I'll be there."
The servant vows again and then he left the room.
As Sasuke left his room to go to his father's office, he can't help but think what does he's father wants from him. He doesn't usually calls him at this time of the day. He thought maybe it has something to do
with the guest that arrived a while ago. As he approach the door to where he's father is, he shrugged off those thoughts and readied himself to see his father. When he was about to knock, he heard his father's laughter; it shock him a bit for he don't usually hears his father laughs that way.
"I wonder who is with father." Sasuke asks himself.
"I'll just go inside and see him myself."
Sasuke knocks at the door, and he's father told him to come in.
"You are finally here, Sasuke."
"Yes, father." He replied. He tried to see who is the mysterious man that made his father laughed that way but he can't figure out who he was. He looks pretty small for you can't see the top of his head from the chair that he's been seating on.
"What are you waiting for Sasuke? Come here, I want you to meet our guest. She will be staying with us for a month."
"Did I just hear "she", I thought our guest was a man? I never thought that father would be inviting a woman here." Sasuke said to himself.
"Sasuke, what are you still doing there? Come here and greet our guest." He's father told him.
"A-Ahh."
Sasuke went to where his father and that woman where. As he went closer, he can see a pink color...as he move closer he can see the figure of the woman that he's father invited, that woman was a girl. When he was close enough to where the two are, he's father speaks to introduce him to the guest as the girl turned to face him.
"Sasuke. Our guest will be Lady Haruno Sakura of the Kusuri Nation."
The two looked at each other. Sakura with her smiling face. While Sasuke, with his impassive ones.
Then they meet again.
To be continued...
