Note: Okay Kiddies, I've had tons of visitors to this story yet have 0 reviews? ZERO? Come on guys, I'd like atleast 5 before I update again.

~Speaking of updates, sorry this one was so late, I had a lot of stuff going on like my puppy, Ike, was sick, etc. Anyways, here is chapter 3 1/2!

She wakes up, her entire body aching. Oh well, today was a vacation day anyway. She'd take Sasuke's advice and rest up a bit. Today was also day numbers of the four she had left with her father. Sighing, she threw her legs over the side of the bed and started getting ready for the consisted of brushing her teeth and long pink hair, showering and changing into clean clothes, and lastly, making her bed and tidying her room. With that she walked downstairs.

Walking into the living room, she expected it to be as she had left it that night. But oddly enough, it was spotless. Other than a few holes in the walls and faint bloodstains. Her father wasn't laying in the corner anymore either. Now she was getting frightened, what in the world had happened here? Then she smelled pancakes. What the junk? Following the scent, she made her way to the kitchen. There her mother was, flipping pancakes at the stove, and her father, cleaned up of ofcourse, sitting at the table reading the paper. Was she dreaming or something?

Not wanting to disturb this happy scene, she simply sad in the chair across from her father.

Her father put his paper down, "Good morning Sakura-chan! How did you sleep?" he exclaimed over-exuberantly, with a big smile plastered to his face.

"Um, uh, well..." Sakura replied, unsure of how she should answer. Her father was usually moody in the mornings and would promise many beatings that would be fulfilled in the afternoon.

"That's great hun!" he said before going back to his paper.

"Pancakes are ready!" her mother swung around with a plate stacked with steaming pancakes. She sat them on the table, happily placing two onto Sakura's plate. "Would you like peanut butter, dear?" she inquired.

"Um, yes please?" Now she was really confused. Her mother still had signs of last night's beating all over her face, covered slightly with make-up, not that it helped any.

Her mother sat down, she and Sakura's father chit-chatting their way through the meal, until, "Sakura, you've barely touched your pancakes." This was said by her Mr. Haruno.

"Sorry otousan", she bowed her head apologetically.

This time, her mother, "Whatever is wrong musume?"

This was to freaky, she had to get out of here. "Nothing, gomen, I just don't have an appetite right now." She stood up, "Please excuse me, I think I'll go out and train."

Both her parents were a little flabbergasted at her ubruptness, so instead of waiting for them to comply, she simply left.

..::end of 3 ½::..

I hate to do this, but I just want some confirmation that people are reading and liking my chapters, so until I get 5 reviews (I'm not greedy) I'm holding back on the other half of the chapter.

When I do have 5, I'll add another chapter entitled 'The other half of three' or something like that or replace 3.5 with 3. Sound good? Also, does anyone have any ideas on what they would like to happen next?
