While Sakura and I watched as the bridge builder built his bridge we were just having that awkward kind of air around us. I didn't know what to do or say. I've never really talked to her and the few times we did, it was her blasting my ear off about Sasuke. Poor Sasuke.

Surprisingly it was Sakura who started the conversation. A sore subject but something non the less.

     "Hey Mei! Whatever happened to your mom?"

Well she's straight forward I'll give her that.

     "Well, you already know she died and I went to my dad..."

To say the least I didn't know what she meant by what happened to my mom.

     "No! I mean what happened to her when your parents split." Sakura shouted. Her voice ringing in my ears. So that's what she meant.

     "Well. My dad was originally on a mission in the area as an ANBU. He got hurt and my mom is the one who found him. They started a relationship and eventually he was forced to leave her because in all technicalities he wasn't suppose to be there, it was considered trespassing in the leaders of the countries eyes. And my dad was punished by not able to go back."

Dad told me the truth a few months after I came to live with him and asked why he wasn't around in my life. Asked why was he never there for mom. That was the first time I saw my father cry when he told me what truly happened.

     "Oh that's so sad! And romantic! Two people who weren't suppose to meet fall in love and finally driven apart due to their loyalty to their country! It's like a story!"

Well I'm just going to leave her in her dream like daze. While she's doing that I'm going to help build this bridge.
