Younger Days

Chapter 2
Part 2: Sakura

Chapter Description: after the mysterious disappearance of the Hyuuga Heiress, Sakura meets a shady man by the name of Sayotoki in a shop.

The Tea House was not that full today. Everyone had already heard about the disappearance of the Hyuuga Heiress and they were on heightened alert, so people weren’t out much. But that didn’t stop Haruno Sakura from coming in and enjoying a nice cup of green tea. So she sat there, daydreaming while staring dazily out the window.

But this pink haired beauty was in the eye of a certain man, cleverly under a Henge spell of a handsome boy of her age. He ordered his drink and walked over to her table, carefully sitting down in front of her.

"Um... Hi... May I sit here?" he asked to her, snapping her out of her daze. She mindlessly nodded, taking a sip. He smiled to her. "What is your name?" he asked politely. She gave a light smile as she replied "Sakura. And you?" she replied, now looking torwards him. "My name is Sayotoki" he told her, holding out his hand across the table. She took a hold of it, shaking it lightly for a second before releasing.

In that mere second, he was able to search through her nerves for the route to the brain, where he took the essential information and left. He looked down, thinking up a plan to lure her into his realm, to where he may morph her to his needs.

"Are you ok?" she asked, making his head snap up just as he finished the details of the plan. "Oh, I’m fine. By your uniform and the things you carry, you are obviously a ninja. Am I correct?" He asked her. She nodded to him. "Yes, I have been for two years and I am currently at the chuunin level," she said to him, adding, "I’ve never seen you around here before. Are you local?" His face became serious as he thought of what to say. "No, I’m actually from the Sand. We are passing through on a mission" he replied. She nodded and he sighed, relieved for his quick answer. "So, two years eh? Do you still remember the when you were first told you were officially a ninja?" He asked, quickly forming several light speed seals nescassary for this special jutsu.

"Oh yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just finished the final exam, making perfect scores. Iruka-sensei camein and gave us the final scores, then told us who passed and failed. My nme was at the top of the list! I was so excited that I ran up and was about to hug Sasuke-kun, but he had already left. Yeah, just yesterday..." she said, fading off into her memories. "So your a genin now?" he asked the twelve year old with a grin on his face. She nodded with an enthusiastic energy. "Yeah! In two days, I got to go to a meeting where we are formed into teams" she said, putting on the end in a whisper, "I hope I get on the same team as Sasuke-kun..." He smiled, activating the seal for the next part of his plan.

"You mention this Sasuke. Am I to guess he is one of the prestine Uchiha’s?" he asked her. She nodded again. "When did you first meet him?" he asked. "Well, it while I was in the acadamy. I was ten and we were starting a new year. I walked into the classroom and sat down ina seat. I looked over and I saw him. He was so cute! Tommorow, I’m gonna try and ask him out onna date!" she said with glee, swinging her legs from the chair and sipping her tea. Inside, he was also full of glee. For the plan was going perfect...

"Ah, so you are in the acadamy? When did you start there?" He questioned, making the seal of the Rat as he perfect plan continued to be perpetrated. "Um... Two years ago, when I was eight. I was so excited! I got to meet the 3rd Hokage! But this annoying blonde boy kept on making jokes in front of me. He was so annoying! Then he turned around and told me I was cute! He was so gross!" she said, sticking her tounge out. She was now down to eight, her clothes reflecting the age, and there were two more major steps to go...

"Hm, so you just entered the acadamy? When did you want to become a ninja?" he asked, forming the sign of the Tiger. "Well, I don’t know. I think when I was four. It wooked so coow! Wif all de coow twicks and tings, I knew I wanted to be wun!" she said happilly, now in a booster seat with a sippy cup in front of her. He activated the last seal as he put his hands on the table. "Thats very good, Sakura. Now, can you tell me how many fingers I am holding up?" he asked, putting up his index finger.

"Uh... Wun" she said. And, in a blink of an eye, she was strapped into a booster seat, in a pink shirt with a matching diaper. In her hands was a bottle and attacked to her shirt was a pacifier. He got up and walked over, unstraping her and lifting her. "Are you tired? Don’t worry, You’ll be home in a crib very soon" he said, cradling her in his arms. She replied by putting the bottle in her mouth and closing eyes. He quickly walked out and disappeared, reappearing at his hut in the woods. He walked in and lightly placed her in the pink crib, which was next to the black one. He looked over at Hinata, who was still sleeping peacefully. But, he noticed, she had wet herself in her sleep. So he lifted her and put her on the changing table, putting her in a new diaper before replacing her. He then smiled as he looked at the other two empty cribs, one yellow, one purple. "It is almost complete. But this is so fun, maybe I should go on" he said to himself as he left again.
