Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!
Several years had passed. Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura are now sixteen years old. The three of them studies at Konoha Academy. While Itachi moved into a dorm with his other friends to study in a far university.
"We're home!" Sakura cheerfully yelled after entering their house. "Huh? Where's mom and dad?" she asked Sasuke.
"They're probably upstairs," Sasuke answered.
"Yah. Maybe you're right." Sakura said looking at Sasuke.
"What?" he said being irritated from her stare.
Sakura pinched both of his cheeks with her two hands before answering, "You're the cutest brother I ever had!"
"Aww… Don't do that again! Or else you'll wish you were born armless!" he warned rubbing his cheeks.
"Ahhh! I'm so scared!" Sakura said as she clowns around Sasuke. "Ha! Ha! Ha!" then she burst a roar of laughter.
"Annoying girl!" Sasuke said irately to her, but a soft smile was formed on his lips as he took Sakura's bag. "I'll bring this to your room. Go upstairs and say "hi" to mom and dad."
"Gee, thanks a lot."
"Whatever."
After putting Sakura's bag at the front door of her room, Sasuke went directly inside to his own room. He took his shoes off and placed it on his shoe rack tidily. 'What a tiring day,' he said to himself as he grabbed a pillow and plopped his body on his bed. 'Sakura, who are you really for me?' he whimpered under his pillow. 'What am I thinking? She's my sister. But, I can't understand, how come we were born on the same year, yet we're not twins?'
Knock…knock…
"Come in…"
"Hi mom! What are you doing?" she asked as she sits on the arm of the chair her mom was sitting on.
"I'm knitting a scarf for Itachi, he'll be home these weekends," her mother informed her with a very soft voice. "So, what brings you here? Do you need something?"
"Not really, Sasuke asked me to come here and say hi to you and dad. Umm…where's dad?"
"He's not home today because of his business meetings, he'll also be gone for the next three days."
"Oh, I see. Mom, can I ask you something."
"What is it my dear?"
"Well, its just bugging me so much that, I think I should ask it to you now, Mom." Sakura paused for a second looking straight to her mom, 'Here goes nothing,' Sakura said in her mind.
"Mom does my pink hair and green eyes tell that I have recessive traits?" she asked.
"What do you mean about that?" her mother asked her back as if she doesn't know anything about genetics.
"What I mean is, you have dark, black hair, and dad also has dark hair, Sasuke and Itachi too. But me, I'm so different. I'm the only one here in our family who has pink hair." Sakura explained.
Her mother didn't reply anything from what she had said.
"Mom?"
"Hm?"
"Am I really your daughter?"
"Umm…huh?" her mother said turning her head away from Sakura. "You know Sakura, you shouldn't ask questions like that."
"But mom, I just want to know everything about me. You never told me anything on how you gave birth to me or the time you were carrying me inside your tummy. And I can feel it… I can feel that I'm not a real Uchiha," she said as tears came out from her eyes.
"Sakura, please stop this now. Just go to your room!" her mom yelled at her.
Sakura walked away and closed the door behind her and rested her back on it, 'Mom, why are you doing this to me?' she asked herself as tears continually flow from her eyes. Then, she went downstairs to her room still crying.
"Is that Sakura who's crying?" Sasuke said lying on his bed. He quickly grabbed his slippers and went out to check Sakura.
"Sakura…" his voice trailed off. "Why are you crying?"
"Me? I'm not crying. Something just entered my eyes."
"You're lying." Sasuke gave her a strange look. "Just go inside your room and take a nap," he added as he went back to his room. Sakura did the same thing also.
Sakura plunged her whole body on her bed hugging her two pillows. "Who is he to tell me to take a nap? I'm not a kid anymore, I don't need those silly naps…" she wasn't able to continue what she was about to say when her eyes started to close. "I'm going to take a nap..." she mumbled as she hugged her pillow tighter and went to sleep.
The next day:
"Sakura, hurry up or you'll be late for school!" Sasuke shouted impatiently as he knocks on Sakura's door.
"Huh?... School?... Late?...Me?" Sakura mumbled under her pillows. "Oh, I forgot I still got school...and... I'll... be LATE!" Sakura shouted.
'Oh, shucks.' Sasuke murmur to himself. "Well, I'm going now," he infromed Sakura as he walk towards the front door.
"No, wait!" Sakura screamed up to her lungs running just before Sasuke.
Sasuke then turned his whole body to face Sakura. But as he saw her, his sleeve went off his shoulder and started todrool at Sakura.He was so astound to seehis sisterstill putting her shirt on andyet not wearing any skirt or pants, just her undergarmnets. Sasuke's eyes went from her face down to her legs. 'Wow, she has creamy legs.' Sasuke said to himself with amazement on his eyes. Going back to his own self, he quickly closed his eyes, placed his hands inside his pockets and continue walking away.
"Get dress, then go to school by yourself," he said coldly as he opened the door and went off.
"Oh... I was even thinking of walking with him together to school." Sakura said with a down face.
After several minutes of preparing for school, Sakura went out of her room and instantly saw her mom sitting on their lounge reading a book.
"Uhm...mom I'm going now, see you later," she saidsoftly and notwith her usual cheerful voice.
"Okay. Just be careful and go home straight after school," her mom reminded her.
"I will," she replied as she opens the front door. "Bye, mom." she added.
Her mother didn't reply anything and just wave her hand at her.
'Oh no! I hope I'm not yet late! No, please I don't want to be late. Not today!' she mumbled while running like a crazy horse towards thier classroom. After reaching it, she opened their door wide, panting heavily. 'Huh, huh, huh,' then went straight to her chair after clearing that she wasn't late yet.
"You're sweating like a pig." Sasuke intoned to her.
Still breathless Sakura replied, "Atleast, I'm not late! Har! Har! I made it just on time!" Sakura said with a tone on her voiceandlaughed so hard, up to the point that she didn't notice thier teacher enter the room.
"Ehem!"their teacher made a sound. "Miss Sakura, please continue your chuckles after this period." All students were staring at her except for Sasuke who's remembering something.
"Oh...he..he..he!" she laughed shyly.
