A.N.: Thanks for the reviews guys! And I'm really very very sorry for the late update. Here's the next chapter for you. Enjoy and review.
Recap:
Itachi then took out the small video camera from his jacket's pocket.
"I'm sorry little brother but I have to do this. She deserves to know the truth. You are not worthy of her love."
It was 8 in the morning and Sakura was gloomily looking out of the window at the rain. It has been raining since 6 a.m. and did not seem like it was going to stop for a while. "Damn this rain. Why isn't it stopping? Today's our first anniversary and this rain is spoiling all of it."
First anniversary. These two words were just enough to make Sakura's heart skip a beat. She felt as if this was their first wedding anniversary. All of this felt like a dream to her. She started thinking of what Sasuke would have planned for this special day. "I think he is going to take me for a nice romantic dinner, under the starry sky and the white moonlight, with just us around and nobody else, with a sweet romantic background music like Bryan Adams' 'I'll be right here waiting for you'. OMG! How romantic that would be." Sakura clasped her hands together and let out a giggle. She then looked out of the window and her smile turned into a frown. "Only if it stops raining."
"Sakura dear! There's a phone call for you."
"Coming Mom!" Sakura shouted back.
Just as Sakura exited her room, a hooded figure climbed up her balcony and took out a small packet. The figure opened the glass door, which separated Sakura's room and the balcony, and stepped inside. He placed the packet on her bed and left a handwritten note over it. "I can only hope the best for you." Saying this, the figure exited the room through the same place he had entered from.
Meanwhile downstairs...
"Mom, whose call is it?"
"It's your job to find out." Mebuki Haruno replied and then passed the phone receiver to her daughter.
"Hello?... O.M.G. Is it really you? I can't believe my ears! Hiroshi!" Sakura nearly shouted at the caller.
"I see your pitch hasn't changed a bit. So how's my little cherry blossom? And by the way, please start giving me some respect because I'm eight years older than you, which makes me your senior. Respect your seniors Pinky."
"I'm very fine you know. And I'll give you the respect only when you really deserve it."
"Oh really? So when's that going to happen?"
"Hmm. Let's see. That is when you stop calling me Pinky!"
"Oh come on. You're spoiling the fun. Anyways I like calling you Pinky. That name really suits you. You know, it really matches your hair."
"I think that's exactly the reason why my name is Sakura. Ok let's stop it here. So tell me, how's Akemi? Is she the same Hitler as before?" asked Sakura and let out a giggle.
"Yeah. You can say that. But her mood swings are much worse than that. You know, those pregnancy stuffs."
"Haha. Hey Hiroshi?"
"Hmm?"
"You really deserve that."Sakura said and let out a laugh.
"You know Pinky, sometimes I wonder whether you are my cousin or Akemi's sister. Anyways I wanted to ask you something."
"Hmm. Go on."
"As you know, Akemi's due nearly three weeks from now. I was just thinking if you could come here in California and stay with us during that time."
"Amazing! That would be really cool you know. And during my stay there, I can also visit my future medical college and even meet Tsunade. "
"Can you please elaborate?"
"Well as you see, I haven't seen you guys in a while. So it will be fun visiting you."
"I understood that part, but not the 'future medical college' part."
"Oh that. Let's say, I got admission in Tsunade Senju's medical college."
"You're kidding me, right?"
"Nope."
"Dear Lord! So now Pinky's gonna be a doctor? May God save your future patients."
"HIROSHI!"
"Geez. You didn't have to shout that loud. I was just kidding. Sakura you have no idea how proud you have made us. Ok so let's say our goodbyes as I have to take you dear sister-in-law to the doc's for a checkup. Talk to you later. Bye."
"Bye." Saying this Sakura disconnected the call.
"Looks like my sweetheart is going to leave me all alone now." Kizashi Haruno said and faked sadness.
"Dad. I'm not 'leaving' you. I'm just going to study there. And I promise, whenever I get a chance, I'll surely visit you guys." Sakura smiled cheerfully and hugged her dad.
"Seems like I'm an outsider here." Mebuki Haruno said.
"Come on Mom. You are complaining like a little kid."
"Well Sakura do you know the reason why? No? Well that's because when people enter old age, they become kids again. You understand what it means, don't you?" Kizashi teased his wife and laughed whole heartedly along with his daughter. A vein started to pop on Mebuki's forehead and she began to form fists.
"Well dear husband of mine. Are you suggesting that I'm growing old?"
Sakura knew where this was going. She didn't want to see her father all bruised up.
"Mom Mom Mom! Calm down. You know how dad is, he's just teasing you. Besides, I think you're the most beautiful woman and mother in the world."
Mebuki smiled at her daughter's words and kissed her cheek.
"Can I get one too."
"Nope." Both mother and daughter said in unison and started laughing.
"But I want one. From both of you. And, a group hug as well." said Sakura.
Everyone in the room let out a whole hearted laugh. Both the parents kissed their only daughter and had a group hug.
"This calls for a family pic." Said Sakura and took out her cell phone and took a picture of her happy family.
"We are really happy for you dear." Said Mebuki.
"And proud as well, future Dr. Sakura Haruno." Kizashi added.
Sakura gave her heart winning smile to her parents and hugged them again. She looked and was really very happy today, unknown to what destiny had in store for her.
