Sakura Drops

VixenofDeath809

Flashback:As she ran and to open the slided wooden door she slammed it with all the strength she could and sat down on the cold smooth wood, ignoring the pain and slept on the spot after abit of weeps and breathing.

Oh..please..anybody..have mercy on my soul...

As I awake from my deep slumber...I found myself on my bed, with bandages all over myself. 'The doctors...' I thought as I slowly began to sit up, the pain cunsuming my shoulders and arms.

The door swung open..

And lady Kaguya appeared in my room.

"Hurry up weakling!" she shouts as she pulls my arm tightly.

I growl,

She slaps,

and we continue to the bathhouse.

As she throws me in, I fall to the hard stone road.

Forcing myself to quickly pace to the tub of steaming water, I strip my clothes of slowly, for there is still pain on all sides of my body.

I put my left foot in first, seeing it regained from numbness, in the hot spring water.

It stung alittle bit at first, but it slowly relaxed as I began to put my whole body in the sweet water of scented lillys and roses.

'Its been..3 years since that day' I thought as I memory appeared in my mind...

It was a rainy day in Osaka...I played with the cold puddles on the ground while waves from the beach crash onto the sand..As I return to my home I see a man whos tan like fisherman.

"Its time for you to pay up!" the tan man said in a whisper as he sat near Otou-sama. Otou-sama was figgeting with his fingers while Oka-san whispered something in another language (In this story, Sakura is half jap/viet) "Khong moun lam Li.." ("No, I dont wanna do this Li..") "...Demo..if we dont.." Otou started, "They'll force us to migrate back to Hanoi..". Oka-san seem sadden at leaving me and she cries..."Da...em lam..." Oka-san mumbles out((Yes...I'll let them...)).

The tan man then picks me up roughly and pushes me into the back cart. While Otou-sama and Oka-san cries out for me. When the cart leaves, Otou-sama yells out to me, "Sakura remember! Sakura blossoms always return in the end...!"

I wake up from my memory slumber as Lady Kaguya screams out my name. I get up quickly from the tub and put on my white yukata, but more memories pour into my head...

"W-was thee watching me?" I studdered nervously as they made an appraoch to me, silently...quietly...

and as they stare at my brightly green eyes shone in front of them...

"Aye.." the older one whispered softly to me as he came closer while the youngest came behind me, making sure that I would not fall in such quiet meetings.

"W-we enjoyed s-such a marvalous piece..of music" the other said quivering to look her in the eyes as he held her gently.

a moment of silence..

'My flute' I thought briefly as I reach the butterfly door..Mistress's room.

I opened the door to find Mistress smoking and sitting on the floor motioning me to sit near her.

I sit and she speaks out hoarsely, "Sakura..please goto the shop and buy these things" she gives me the list.

I read and nod.

I pick up my feet and gracefully leave Mistress's room. I run to the front of the geisha house and pass it to run to the okiya, where training for beginning geisha were.

'If only I were a geisha..' I thought as I reach the front doors. I push them open to see a busy street of hustle and bustle, sweets and spices, and the ocasional vendors near their shops to sell herbs or a need of importance.

I walked down the dusty road reaching the markets. I held on to my basket, seeing I have no one to help me and read the list."Ano..some natto(x.x ewww), green onions, 5 new kimonos, 10 yuka-" but before I could finish a boy no older than twelve bumped into me.

I fall back on my rear end...saying uncoherent(sp?) word while getting up. "Gomen..." I said politely while dusting myself off. "No problem." he replied as he picked himself and looking at me. I picked up my basket and list before looking at him. His eyes looked suprise the moment he saw me. "Is...is there something wrong sir?" I questioned as he continue to stare at me. He blurted, "Your the girl I met that night..." then I my face turned a bright pink as I turned to hide it. "Da...I-I mean..hai..." I said softly looking back at him. "T-thank you for the kind services..." I said but then I stopped cause I did not call for a name last night.

He seemed to know what had stopped me from talking. "Uchiha..Uchiha Itachi." he spoke in a gentleman's voice. With a bow and smile I left him, what had seemed pretty cute since had blush when I had smiled.

(was gonna end it here - -;;)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw the same child from last night. We spoke very quickly but giving her my name seemed to make me and her pleasantly happy. She left while I blushed at her sweet smile. My brother soon came to me, happily while holding a stick of squid.

"Aniki!" he called out when stopping he hugged me when I just nodded. I smirked, seeming to recall the blush she did as a faint chuckle came from my lips. "Ani-ki!" he young sibling shouted as he pulled on my sleeve of my yukata as my head turned to him. "Nani, Sasuke?" I said calmly as he pointed to a shop of tomatoes. I sweat dropped seeing my brother drool slighty at the sphere shaped fruits when something caught our eyes.

The girl...Sakura...seeing her I walked up to her, not knowing my brother ran up to her first.

Some thing seemed to stir as she turned and smiled at me and Sasuke...

That smile...

her pink plump lips...

her jeweled green eyes that shone at brightness...

Just looking at her smile made me smile back at her, like an addiction.

"Seems that we meet again!" Sasuke yelled happily as he blushed at her sweet smile. "Hello Itachi-san" she said with a slight bow and turned to Sasuke. "Hello Sakura-chan, this is my younger brother, Sasuke." Sasuke smiled sheepishly and bowed at her lightly to look at her again. Sakura smiled and said cutely, "Nice to meet you as well Sasuke-san." Out of the blue Sasuke asked, "Ano...how old are you anyway Sakura-chan?".

silence...

akward stillness...

"Um...I'm 6 of years." she said in thought while counting her small pale fingers. Sasuke looked shocked while I looked calm. "Well I'm eight of years making me 2 years ahead of you." Sasuke mumbled while scratching his head thinking. "And Aniki is 12 of years making him..." using his fingers to to finish his problem. "Ano..." he started while I finished for him," 6 years older Sasuke-chan."Hmm...aniki is right.." Sasuke said looking at me with his charcoal eyes. Sakura seemed to smile at our conversation. But then her face went from pink to white as she she bowed and quickly said, "I'm sorry but I'm very late to return home, good day." And with that she scurried away with her white yukata.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pondered what had seemed wrong as her pink hair swayed in the steam of cooking and gas from small factories. I looked at my older brother and seemed the same way. "Aniki, should we follow her to see whats wrong with her?" Itachi looked at me with cold hearted eyes that looked warmed with Sakura-chan's presence. "Aye.." and we strolled off. When we continue to follow her, she seemed to go deepper into the okeya of geishas.

Itachi stopped.

I stopped as well.

And we watch in horror as she walked into the okeya.

"Shes..." I started, but quickly shook it off.

"Iie Sasuke-chan..shes a worker for them." He sighed in what had seemed in happiness.

A scratched my spikey-black hair in calmness.

"Should we go home now Aniki?" I questioned as we stared holes at the okeya.

stillness...

"Aye.." he said as we turned away but I did as I recalled something from last night.

"Onii-ssann!" as paced up to him.

"Hn.." he replied as he stopped to look at me boredly.

"We keep forgetting to return Sakura-chan's flute!" I said blushing thinking of last night when I held her in my arms.

"Aa...seems we do, Sasuke" Onii-san whispered with a light smirk as we continue our legs home.

Suddenly Itachi stopped for a minute and I bump into him nose first(oww...). "Nani,aniki?" I asked questionally as he just stood still and looked at me with a smirk I could not put a finger to. "Aniki,you may wish to keep an eye on the blossom, you may just lose her.." and he walked again. Confused at his so-called riddle I thought of what he meant as we continuously walk to the Uchiha manor.
