Sakura stood at the edge of the water standing perfectly still. She had her pants rolled up and was peering down at the fish that swam around her feet. In a flash she grabbed two fish and threw them in the bucket behind her without even a glance. Doing that about four more times she stepped out of the water and grabbed the bucket hoisting it up with both hands. She walked awkwardly toward the fire her father had made and dropped the bucket down next to him.

"now you get to cook them" she said dropping down and crossing her legs.

He looked at her "hmph" he said putting down his pencil and piece of paper, he reached in one by one and took the fish out.

"what are you writing?" she said looking up at him.

"just scribbling" he said, his eyes still focused on the fish.

"oh" she looked down and traced circles in the dirt. "I had a dream about mom" she said quietly her head still down. She heard him stop.

"did you?" he said too naturally

"I don't remember much about her." She felt the courage and looked up at him. "What color was her hair?"

"Sakura. We've talked about this a thousand times" he said still avoiding her eyes.

"i know. Can you tell me again" she waited so long she thought he wasn't going to tell her, but he started talking.

"she had red hair and the brightest green eyes I'd ever seen"

Sakura hugged her legs and rested her chin on them.

"she always smiled no matter what. You could never tell if something was wrong because she never showed it. She was a healer, like you, and worked at the hospital. she was tough, but cared about everyone around her."

He looked up at the sky and was lost in thought

"we first met at the hospital. I had been on a mission that day and had injured my left arm. My teammates rushed me in even though it wasn't that big of a deal and right when I was turning the corner she ran into me and on instinct i caught her. We stayed like that for the longest time looking into each others eyes. A few years later she was pregnant with you. I remember she said to me 'what if our baby has pink hair.' I thought it was silly. Even though I had silver and she had red didn't mean you would have pink, but when I walked in and saw the little pink hairs on your head I nearly fainted."

He looked down at her and she was fast asleep. With a slow motion he picked her up and carried her into the house laying her on her bed. He kissed her forhead and looked at her for a minute before walking out.

"Outosan"

"Hm?"

"night"

"good night" he said shutting the door behind him
