As class ended, Bolt strolled out, feeling pretty down after Sarada ran off.

He got quite the surprise when the Hokage was there to greet him with the other parents who were waiting for their children. Beside him stood Himawari who was waving to him.

"Tou-san?"

Naruto gave his son a thumbs up. "Let's go get some ramen, just the three of us."

"You're not hanging out with Bolt today, Sara-chan?" Sakura asked, handing her a rice ball.

The black-haired child didn't answer, simply stared at the food in her hand. Sakura placed her own rice ball down to give the girl all of her attention.

"Did something happen, Sarada?"

Her lips twisted into a grimace, clearly uncomfortable.

"Kaa-san..."

Sakura placed her hand on Sarada's, clearly concerned.

"Sara-chan, you can tell me anything. If you're not ready to tell me, then-"

"Bolt kissed me!"

Sakura's jumped from the sudden outburst.

Seconds passed as the words finally registered, all the while Sarada stared at her desperately.

"Wait...wait- what?"

Sarada turned to look back at the rice ball, cheeks blushing.

"Bolt kissed me," she repeated softly.

"Bolt...kissed you?"

Sarada nodded.

"You seem more upset then angry," Sakura stated, sipping her tea.

"It was an accident," she explained. "He was being an idiot as usual and was right in my face and Shikadai was shoved into him. He fell forward and kissed me."

While she knew how serious the matter was, when a flashback of Sasuke and Naruto's shared first kiss played in her mind, she couldn't keep the tea from spraying in front of her. She choked on the tea that had managed to go down, caught between coughing and laughing, her fist pounding on her chest to help the tea go down.

Once she managed to get herself under control, she wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked up at Sarada, the last of her giggles residing.

Sarada was less then amused.

"Sorry, Sara-chan. Continue."

"You always told me that my first kiss should be something special. Something treasured. Even though he didn't mean to, Bolt took it from me and I can't get it back."

Understanding now what had her so upset, Sakura smiled.

"Come here, Sara-chan."

Climbing to her feet, they padded over to her. Sakura tilted her head up to look at her.

"Bend down."

Again, Sarada complied. When Sarada's face was before hers, Sakura pecked her lips. A family kiss. Sarada raised an eyebrow, confused.

"Why did you kiss me, kaa-san?"

"Do I need a reason to kiss my daughter?" Sakura asked as she pulled Sarada down to sit beside her.

"No."

"Now, you've had plenty of kisses from me. You don't consider them your first kiss, do you?"

"No, but that's different."

"Why?"

"Because you're my haha-ue."

"Because it didn't mean anything romantic," Sakura agreed. "How is the accidental kiss with Bolt any different?"

"It...I get what you mean, kaa-san. But it still feels different."

Sakura frowned. "It shouldn't, unless you like him."

Then it clicked and Sakura's eyes widened.

"You do like him!"

Sarada huffed and turned her head away defiantly, yet Sakura caught the blush on her cheeks.

"I'd never like a baka like him!"

Sakura wrapped an around her neck and pulled the younger girl into her side, ignoring her protests.

"My darling girl is growing up so fast."

"Kaa-san!"

"Now, do you wish to know what I was laughing at before?"

Sarada rolled around on the ground, her cheeks flushed bright red as tears leaked from her eyes as she held her sides. Beside her, Sakura clutched to the table, her face just as bright and wet from tears.

"I can't breathe!" She squealed between her hysterical laughter.

Her words only had Sakura laughing harder as they struggled for breath. When Sarada started trying to crawl away, Sakura wiped her eyes.

"Where are you going?"

Sarada looked back, eyes wide but smile wide on her lips.

"I'm going to pee myself!"

As she continued to crawl away, another round of laughter hit Sakura as she threw herself back, staring at the roof as she tried to get her mirth under control. Instead, her mind turned to the problems at hand.

When Sarada came back, Sakura had calmed as had she.

"Sarada, you're going to be staying with Naruto and Hinata-chan for a little while."

"Why?" She asked, confused.

"I'm going to be at the hospital a lot from now on," she lied. "Having twins runs many risks and I had a difficult birth with you. I need to make sure everything goes right and so I must stay close to the hospital for a while."

Sarada nodded. "So long as it helps you and the babies," she agreed. "Have you told Naruto-oji about the babies yet?"

Sakura shook her head. "No, but I plan to at the dinner party Hinata-chan is holding tomorrow night. That way, I can tell everyone at once. Though, I suspect Hinata-chan already knows. With the Byakugan and all that."

Sarada nodded. "Bolt won't say anything and Inojin only told his haha-ue. Everyone else will be surprised."

As Sakura stood there with Naruto, Hinata led Sarada inside.

"Tell me the truth, Sakura-chan. What's going on?"

She debated with herself whether she should tell him or not and the more she thought about it, the more she realised she was being stupid trying to hide it. From the Hokage. Her best friend of all people.

"Someone broke into my house the other night."

"What!?"

Sakura covered his mouth, blocking his yelling.

"Baka! Be quiet!"

"mhm hmhm hp hm hmhm mmh?"

"No, I don't know who it was but I know they broke in because they left a flower on my bedside table. That's why when I came to see you the other day about Sasuke, it was because I thought -or hoped- it was him who left the flower for me. But you were right, he would have went to see you before coming to see us."

She released his mouth but he didn't say a word, deep in thought.

"Why don't you stay here too? We have plenty of room-"

Sakura shook her head, smiling. "Thank you, Naruto, but no. They may not notice Sara-chan missing, considering she's a child and prone to sleep overs. It'll keep her safe but if they notice I'm missing too? They'll come looking. It's better this way. There is no place safer then the Hyuga compound, with so many Byakugan users."

"You make sense, Sakura-chan, but I still don't want you endangering your life like this. I can protect you."

"It's not your job to protect me," she scolded. "If anyone is to protect me, it should be my husband."

"You know why he-"

"God, Naruto, I know! I've known this our whole marriage but it's been years, Naruto. I don't know how long Sarada will accept this."

"Sakura-chan-"

"I'll see you at dinner tomorrow," she cut him off and walked away.

When she got home, she climbed into bed and cried.

Looking around, she was glad she had decided to start a vegetable garden. Her tomatoes will be the best Sarada and Sasuke ever had!

Her eyes saddened as her heart clenched.

Sasuke.

Getting to her feet, she headed inside and placed her vegetables in the sink where she washed them. She jumped in surprise when there was a small poof beside her.

"Sakura-sama," a small slug greeted.

"Oh, h-hello!" Sakura answered, drying her hands with a tea towel. "Sorry, you scared me."

"My apologies, Sakura-sama. I am Kagura, one of Katsuyu's daughters. I'll be leading the guard team."

Sakura crouched so that she was closer to the slug where she offered her hand. The slug gratefully slithered on so Sakura could raise her to eye level.

"The others have all taken place around the compound. Don't worry, Sakura-sama. We will keep a look out."

Sakura wanted to crush the slug in a hug but that would only end with an early death for Kagura.

"Thank you so much," Sakura murmured, feeling a great weight being lifted from her shoulders. "I cannot tell you how grateful I am."

Naruto looked out the window as the sun set. He sighed, relieved and started tidying his desk before he finally stood. As he headed for the door, it opened. Naruto's eyes widened.

"Teme."

"Why is Sarada staying at your house?"

Caught off guard by the question, he stared at his best friend for a moment.

"Shut the door."

The Uchiha entered, locking the door behind him.

"Someone broke into your house."

Sasuke's anger spiked but he waited to hear the rest.

"Sakura-chan said she woke up to a flower on the bedside table and since you hadn't been to see me, we assumed it wasn't you. It wasn't you, was it? Just so we're sure."

Sasuke shook his head. "No, but there is definitely someone who wants to hurt them. On my way back, someone approached me from the shadows."

"From the shadows? You mean like at night?"

Sasuke shook his head. "No. I mean from the shadows of a tree during the middle of the day."

"How is that even possible?"

"I'm not sure but the ability reminded me a lot of Suigetsu's. I believe he may have been one of Orochimaru's lapdog experiments, still loyal to his ideals. Clearly not loyal to Orochimaru now considering he changed sides during the war."

"And he's still in Oto with Kabuto, Suigetsu, Karin and Jugo."

"I think I've done something against him so it's revenge. I will head to Oto then to find out more about this guy."

"Wait, you can't just leave," Naruto snapped. "What about Sakura-chan and Sarada?"

"You and I both know Sakura can protect herself and she made the right decision sending Sarada to stay with you since you're surrounded by Hyuga's. She'll be safe with you."

"Teme-"

"If it was you, what would you do?"

Naruto bit back his retort, knowing he'd hunt down the man who threatened his family. He turned to stare out at the village lights that now shone brighter since the sun had disappeared behind the horizon, leaving the stars behind to light up the sky.

"Just... be quick, teme," Naruto sighed.

"Keep them safe, dobe."

"You're not going to visit them first?" Naruto asked, turning to face him. "You should-"

The Uchiha had already left.

Someone asked who could hate Sasuke?

I could.

I did.

I understood him leaving. I understood his insanity and wanting to destroy Konoha after finding out the truth.

But I did not understand why HE WANTED TO THEN BE THE FUCKING HOKAGE.

When I read it, I legit face palmed.

"I will kill my brother." "I will destroy Konoha." "I will be Hokage."

Give up, Sasuke! GOD!

And then the whole thing about the tailed beasts and him killing all the Kage- Reeeaaally?

You're really going to go there?

I honestly wrote on the comments section 'Naruto, just kill him already. Im sick of his bullshit.'

Yeahhhhh, I hated Sasuke.

Kinda still do but that 12 year old girl inside me loved him when I first stated watching the anime on Cartoon Network.

Im sure 'O' that many people hate Sasuke.

Just like a lot of people hate Sakura. I don't believe everyone loves her. I think a lot more people like Hinata though.

That's annoying. I don't care for the Hyuga, honestly. I still think Naruto the Last should have some SasuSaku moments. Even more then NaruHina, considering there was more of a connection between Sasuke and Sakura then Naruto and Hinata. SasuSaku would hold a lot more tension then NaruHina.

I hear people say 'since Sakura is hardly in the movie-'

Fuck you, guys!

IF THAT FUCKING HAPPENS AND SHES JUST THERE NOT DOING ANYTHING, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL REWRITE THE WHOLE DAMN MOVIE TO MAKE ROOM FOR HER!

Seriously, it would have been better if Sakura was kidnapped. Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke would care more than Hinata. Hinata and Hanabi get taken and Naruto and the Hyuga clan and her team mates no one really gives a shit about.

Kakashi tops the Hyugas.

Naruto and Naruto

Sasuke tops Shino and Kiba

yeaaaaaaahhhhh the movie would already be better if Sakura was the one kidnapped.

Just saying.

Leave me more reviews and even topics to rant about since some of you guys like them?

If not, I'm sure something will piss me off enough to rant to you guys.

Lots of love 3

Me.
