Summer Blues

"Sasuke!" A high pitched voice squealed running to the raven haired boy who sat by himself in the sand box with a shovel in hand.

The raven hair boy looked up and noticed his pink hair friend running to him with all her might. When she finally reached him, she through herself at the boy who flew backwards in the sandbox.

"Sakura what's wrong?" Sasuke asked noticing the tight grip she had on him.

"Schools going to start soon Sasu-cake. Which mean I won't get to spend my days with you no more. And then will be apart and probably never see each other again until next summer!" She cried out letting the boy go and sitting up to wipe at her eyes.

The raven haired boy processed what she told him for a moment before smiling widely at her. "There's nothing to worry about Sakura. There's a bunch of times will see each other like at recess or lunch or before and after school. My brother and I could walk you home if you'd like!"

"Awe really?!" The girl asked her eyes brightening up.

"Yeah, it'll be fun and you never know we could have classes together."

"I guess your right."

"Let's stop thinking about school and go have some fun!" Sasuke said standing up with a wide smile. He extended his hand out to the girl.

"Your on!" She responded back grabbing his hand and running off to the playground with the raven hair boy in tow.

"Sakura wake up or you'll be late for school." The chirpy voice of the pinkette's mother rang throughout the room.

A small groan came from the girl as she struggled to force her eyes awake. "I'm so tired."

"Then maybe you shouldn't have stayed up so late watching tv. Now get up and get dressed, I already have breakfast on the table and it'll get cold fast." Was her mother's final words before walking out the room after seeing the pinkette kick her covers off her body.

The eight year old dragged herself out of bed and into the bathroom in the hall. She splashed her face several times to wake herself up and then again to rid herself of eye boogers. She then brushed her teeth to get rid of her morning breath and ran a brush through her hair until her bed head was gone.

Sakura went back into her room and fixed her bed before proceeding to get dressed. She picked out a white bottom up shirt along with a sea foam green capri paired with white sandals. When she finished she grabbed her red ribbon from her dresser and ran to the kitchen where she heard quiet talking.

"Good morning mommy, good morning daddy." She said cutely climbing into her seat and setting her ribbon on the table. "Could you help me with my bow mommy?"

Mebuki nodded her head and placed Sakura's breakfast consistent of oatmeal strawberry flavor and orange juice. The young girl dug into her meal happily while her mom began to tie the ribbon on her head.

"Ay Cherry Blossom, would you like it if I walked you to school?" Kizashi asked his daughter who shock her head furiously to the annoyance of her mom. "Why not? Am I not cool enough?"

"No daddy it isn't that, Sasuke said he'll walk me with his big brother!" She responded back cheerfully finishing her oatmeal and downing the juice.

"I keep on hearing things about this Sasuke boy but I hadn't even seen him once. Does he even exsist?" Her father asked teasingly to the amusement of his daughter who covered her mouth due to her fit of giggles.

"He does too exist daddy!"

"Enough of that you two. Now Sakura you should hurry up or you'll make that friend of yours late." Her mother said sitting at the table across from her dad, finished fixing the girl's hair.

Sakura scotted off the chair and grabbed her dishware carrying it to the sink before running off into the bathroom once again to brush her teeth again. She came to the front door and grabbed her book bag that rested against the hallway closet.

When she had the bag firmly placed on her back she looked up at her parents who aproached her.

"Now cherry blossom, don't go and get into any sort of trouble missy." Kizashi said in a playful stern way that cause both of his girls to laugh at his joke. "Be good as always and make tons of friends this year. Don't let that blonde little boy get you introuble."

Her father concluded and she nodded her head.

"Here's your lunch, I packed you something sweet." Mebuki handed the pinkette a pink pattern lunch box that she held. Sakura took it and was then seeped up into a hug by her father.

"Aw my little girl is growing up too fast!"  Her father cried out reciving a smile from the girl. He and his wife kissed her cheek happily before the man set her down.

"Bye bye mommy and daddy!" Sakura called out as her father opened the door wide open.

She took a few steps out of the door only to hear her name being called out. Sakura looked up and saw two raven haired boys waving at her from her mailbox.

"Sasu-cake! Itachi!" Sakura ran over to them, greeting the brothers on her way over. She smiled looking back at her parents who waved knowing she was alright.

"We better start walking or we'll be late for school." Itachi addressed the pair cooly with a smile wide on his face. He began to trail behind the two younger kids who said ok in a unison and walked down the path holding each others free hand happily.
