Sakura

Sakura was setting the temperature on the oven when she heard the door open. Okay. Get ready for an outburst. She thought. " Hey, sweetheart! I made you your favorite dinner. I know you are absolutely angry with me right now, and you have every right to be, but please let me explain myself first. You kno..."

Sakura turned around and her voice was stuck in her throat for standing before her was not her angry daughter but her husband. She sucked in a sharp breath. Her Husband.

"Sasuke!" She screamed and ran towards him with such force that when she hugged him they both toppled to the ground.

"When did you? Wha? How? Oh My God!" And then she was kissing him. He was here. Sasuke was here. In her arms.

When she finally ran out of breath and stopped kissing, "Sakura", Sasuke said.

"When did you come back?"


Sasuke

"About an hour ago. I had to go meet Naruto first and give him a scroll I found." Sasuke said his eyes roaming all over Sakura's face as if remembering every detail. Her green eyes, wide and teary with excitement. Her cheeks red with all the kissing. Finally his eyes rested on her lips and he was kissing her again. Their hands all over each other, holding, pulling. Their lips inseparable from the other's body. Their kisses so full of passion and heat and urgency, as though afraid they might run out of time. Finally, they broke free gasping for air.

He looked at his wife, her cheeks streaked with tears, eyes bright, hair messy. She looked beautiful.

"I missed you" She said.

"Me too".

She grinned and started to get up. " I hope you are hungry because I made a very delicious dinner."

Then she gasped " Sarada!"

"Where is she? Is she not home?"

"She is supposed to be here, but she is angry with me because I missed her graduation ceremony." Sakura said.

"Graduation?" Sarada is a genin. His chest tightened knowing that he has missed so much of his daughter's life.

"But she should have been home by now. It's past seven. Maybe she is at Choji's house hanging out with Chocho. Let me call them" Sakura said and went to the phone.


Sakura

I hope Sarada is okay. I mean she has been upset before but she was never out this late. Sakura thought while holding the phone to her ear.

"Hello?" It was Chocho.

"Hello, Chocho. This is Sakura, Sarada's mom. Is Sarada at your place?"

"No she is not here. She said that she was going to the meadow. She was upset you know"

"I know. Anyway thank you. Bye"

Hanging up, she looked at Sasuke's worried face.

"She is at the meadow. Want to go meet her there?"

5 minutes later, they arrived at a clearing in the middle of a meadow, where they found a few shuriken on the ground and a few of them on the targets placed on the tree trunks.

Looks like Sarada has been letting off some steam here. Sakura thought.

"Sarada?" "Sweetheart?"

A shuriken came flying and hit the bullseye on the target placed above Sakura and Sarada landed gracefully in front of Sakura.
