Chapter: Confusion and the Arrival
It was dinner time, and Sakura noticed her mother's unusual silence at the dinner table. Sakura was a bit unnerved at her mother's actions, but then again everything unnerved her since her grandfather's death. 'Man….who did things end up like this?'
She then looked at her mother who was still looking at her food and steadily eating it slowly without ever meeting her glances once. Sakura looked at her barley touched cooked chicken and rice balls, feeling the lonely and sad feeling slowly filling her up again and making her want to cry.
But then a picture of her grandfather popped into her mind really making her cry, and braking all the barriers she tried so desperately to put up so she wouldn't worry her mother. 'I can't cry..I can't! I CAN'T! SHE'LL WORRY! AND SHE SEEMS TO HAVE WORRIES OF HER OWN RIGHT NOW! I CAN'T!! I can't….no…"
Sakura whether she liked it or not started to cry endlessly. Her mother noticed right away and got up from her seat and went over to Sakura, patting her gentle on the shoulder.
"Sakura? Baby..?What's wrong? Please tell mama." Sakura started to cry harder and try to hide her face while muttering "I'm sorry mama…I'm sorry…I'm so, so sorry." Ms. Haruno looked at her daughter with a shocked and worried face. "W-What do mean baby? Sorry for what? Honey?"
Sakura looked at her mother with a tear stained face and replied "I-I'm sorry mama! I couldn't stay strong about granpa's death and-and now I'm worrying you! I'm no good to anyone! Not grandpa ….and not even you mama." Ms. Haruno hastily grabbed her daughter into a protective embrace and held her while she cried. "S-Sakura…? How could you ever think that?! You where the moon and stars to your grandpa, and to me..to me you are my little Tenshi Sakura! I love you, and so did your grandpa."
Sakura looked at her mother's face looking better than she did before and asked, "R-really? So, it's okay if I cry a little bit? Just a little bit?" Ms. Haruno nodded and then kissed her daughter on the forehead. "Of course it's okay to cry over someone you lost and loved dearly Sakura..as long as you don't do forever. But for now that's okay! I still cry for him too, did you know that?"
Sakura shook her head in a childlike innocence. Her mother smiled and said, "Well I do! So if ever need to cry just let it out and don't keep it in okay? You don't need to be so strong for me Sakura, I'm alright okay?" Sakura smiled brightly and brushed the rest of her tears away. "Mother you wanted to tell me something right? I just remembered you said you had something to tell me after dinner, well I guess dinner is over now right?"
Ms. Haruno's face turned twisted but then went back to normal as she let out a sigh "Okay Sakura sit down." Sakura nodded and sat down. "Sakura I need you to understand something first okay?" Sakura nodded with a serious face realizing the seriousness of this conversation.
"Okay. Sakura, you grandfather worked in the 'family business' right?" Sakura nodded, "Now Sakura, the things that this family does is not normal and it is dangerous, you will be the next to take on this legacy do you understand?" Sakura looked shocked, "S-So you mean mama that I will take grandfather's place when I 'm older?!"
Her mother nodded, "That is correct Sakura, but know this." Ms. Haruno leaned over the table to make better eye contact with her daughter, "This is a very dangerous and unusual job that we carry out. Nowhere else in this world does what we do, and YOU CAN'T NOT STICK YOUR NOSE INTO THIS UNTIL YOU OLDER. DO YOU UNDER SWEETY?"
Sakura looked confused, 'Then why did she tell me this now? Now that I know beforehand I'm more likely to get into trouble, so…why didn't she wait to tell me this until I was older?' Sakura looked straight at her mother with a still very confused face. "T-Then why are you telling me now!? Why didn't you wait!" Her mother's eyes saddened a bit, "Because your grandfather had to be the one to tell, since it WAS his job in the first place. And….there's another thing that affects this condition…." Her voice quieted into a whisper at the end.
Sakura's eye brows rose, "Okay I get that. But what's the other condition? MAMA TELL ME ALREADY, GEZZ!" Sakura's mother sighed for what seems the hundredth time today, "Well Sakura….Your grandfathers' last case was a big one and had, I suppose what you would call it, a huge impact on him."
"What sort of big impact?" Sakura's mother looked down, " Sakura, your grandfather came to me, a few days before his death and discussed his latest assignment. It was a child's case, he's actually your age too Sakura. Well..he got very attracted to this boy and planned to adopted him when his case was done…"
She looked up at her daughter to see her reaction. "W-What?" Sakura looked shocked but then got worry in her eye's "W-Well whats going to happen to the boy now mama!?" Sakura's mother smiled, " Don't worry Sakura…that day me and your grandfather made an agreement. He asked me 'if and when something happens to him, if I would please take him in', and well by now you can only guess what's going to happen now."
Sakura's mind then went blank and dark rain cloud found it's way above her head, "W-W-Wait? Y-You mean, t-that h-he's going to live with us!!?" Sakura's mother smiled and nodded. " Sakura then fell out of her chair anime style and started to object, "B-But! He's my age! Don't you think that's a little weird! OH NO! WHAT IS HINATA GOING TO THINK WHEN I TELL HER THIS??!! OH NO! WILL I SOUND LIKE A PERVERT! AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Sakura then fell out of the chair again. Ms. Haruno just sweatdropped at her daughters overly dramatic actions. " SIGH! Sakura, it's your grandfathers wishes! RESPECT THAT! And it won't be that weird I grantee it! It will be a blast!!"
Ms. Haruno finished off with a thumbs up. "M-MAMA! YOU CAN BE SUCH A WEIRDO SOMETIMES! WHY WORLD WHY!??" Sakura then fell to the floor dramatically.
"Sigh. It will okay Sakura! He's coming tomorrow so be a good girl okay!?" Ms. Haruno then patted her on the head and then headed back to making a desert for tomorrows dinner. Sakura just laid on the floor for awhile thinking 'WTF!' "MEOW!!!"
Sakura looked up from her stupor to look at her gradfathers cat 'TINKER BELL'. "MEOW!!!" cried the lonely and un-petted Siamese cat. Sakura sighed and said "Come her Tink! I"ll pet you for a minute." The cat then pranced slowly and gracefully towards Sakura with a cute kitty smile on her face, "MEOW! PURRRRrrr.." The cat purred as Sakura smoothed the fur of fuzzy ball of fluff, while thinking 'I don't know what I would do if we had another cat! I mean..I love cats! But Tink's personality makes up for 4 others!' (Author: If only she knew what awaited her! SIGH! Poor girl!)
" Sakura!" Her mother called from the kitchen, "It's about time for you to go to sleep! Go up and take a shower!" "But mama! It's summer vacation, why do I still have to go to bed early?!" Sakura huffed, with pouty look on her face. "Because the new member of the family is coming tomorrow! So just for tonight okay!?" Sakura just shrugged , "Okay, I guess!" Sakura then kissed Tinker Bell on the forehead and went to take a shower.
IN THE BATHROOM~*
Sakura was in the shower enjoying the warmth it brought her. After being in the shower for few minutes, Sakura's mind wondered off to boy who was going to be living with them started tomorrow . "I wonder what he looks like?" She thought out loud, "Or if he's HOT!-" Sakura stopped herself right there. "I doesn't matter if he is or not! He's going to live with us no matter what! So why would I care?" But a small voice at the back of her mind told her, that if he was HOT, then they would be living with hot guy their age! Sakura thought about this for a moment, but then sighed sadly. "No guy would ever want to be around me though! I'm big forehead for freaks sakes! No guy and defiantly not a hot guy would want to go out with m anyway. If anything, this will be a bad thing!"
BEDROOM~*
Afterwords she got out of the shower and got into her cherryblossom themed night gown. She then got her brush and sat down at the desk brushing her hair. After she got the snarls out of her hair, and put the brush down and went to her bed and slipped under the covers. Sakura fell asleep instantly,not knowing how emotionally stressed she had been. Unknowingly, Tinker Bell had slipped into her room and curled up beside her purring off to sleep.
NEXT MORNING~*
Sakura awoke to the sounds of scuffling down stairs. Along with the occasional saying of "I'm sorry! My daughter isn't out of bed yet!" Then she heard a man's voice downstairs saying "Oh, it's quite alright! I have daughter of my own at home!"
Sakura could just see her mother smiling, "Oh thank you so much for bringing him! I guess Sakura will just get a surprise when she gets up then!" The man laughed while saying "Ahaha, well I'll see around! Bye!" "Good-bye!" Then the door shut.
Sakura had already fell back asleep right before the man left. Sakura re-awoke realizing that she fell asleep again. She then turned to shove her face into the pillow, but….felt something furry twitching beside her.
She forced her eyes open and then froze. Right beside her was a boy, around 12 years old, black spiked up hair, cat ears along with a tail sleeping beside her. And her first reaction was…? To scream of course!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" She then fell off the bed in shock and tried to get to the door, but a certain sound stopped her, "Sakura? Nya?" Sakura then slowly turned around and almost fell over, there sitting up on her bed was the cat boy that only a few moments ago was sleeping soundly beside her.
She blushed as she saw that his eyes where just as black as his hair…and that he was really handsome young boy. She also noticed that he had choker, with a tomato on it? He then jumped down and smiled, "SAKURA! NYA!!" Sakura whimpered as her head was crushed into his chest. She blushed as she realized how close they where and what she was "Ahem!" Wearing! A simple night gown, that could almost be see through, and this boy was getting so close to her!
It was so embarrassing, that Sakura almost passed out! The boy looked at Sakura in concern, "Is Sakura okay, nya? Are you hurt nya?" Sakura finally got the courage to talk back, "W-WHO ARE YOU!?"
The boy then smiled a kitty like smile and replied, "My names Sasuke, and I'm going to be living with you from now on! I'm glad to! Because I like Sakura and how soft she feels to the touch!" Sasuke replied happily.
Sakura then just nodded know remembering who he was now, but then blushed at his words 'Soft at the touch.' She looked at Sasuke as kindly as she could, without her "kill pervert instincts" coming out "S-Sasuke what to mean 'soft at the touch'?"
Instead of answering her he ran over and hugged her again and replied "Well…Sakura feels so much softer then those men do..and it's nice nya." Sakura was just about to call the loony bin to come and get her, because she was seriously about to go crazy!
But before she could her mother came into the room and smiled at the two. "Sakura, this Sasuke. He's the newest member of the family." Sakura was about to die right then 'You mean I'm going to have to live with a hot cat boy who likes to cuddle and says that I'm soft at the touch, oh god help me…' Sasuke's only reply was hugging her closer to him and saying "Yay! I get to stay with Sakura, NYA!!!" Sakura slumped to the floor, 'god help me…'
Well here's chapter 3!
Sasuke is WAY out of character, but he won't be to occ for to long! But I won't tell you, because that would spoil it!
ByE guys!
