2 - Happy Family
(The following day at Lee's Residence)
Sakura was awaken by the sweet smell of breakfast. She smiled as she lazily opened her eyes wanting to get more sleep. But the smell of her favorite tamagoyaki was so irresistable.
She forced herself up as she remembered it's school day. She clearly remembered that she slept beside Yuri last night. But she's on her bed wrapped warmly with a blanket.
She stretch her hands and body upwards and to start her day she whispered a short prayer thanking God for today. As she walked down the staircase to the kitchen she saw her loving husband on his apron busy preparing breakfast as their children were busy preparing for school.
"Dad, I want my fried egg well done please." Yuri pleaded nicely.
"Ok here's to my dear Yuri. Well done fried egg and bacon. To my dear Metal, boiled egg with ham. Cereal and milk for my cute little lady Hana."
"I'm not little... I am a lady." Hana corrected her dad..
"And here's to my beloved wife... Tamagoyaki!" He kissed her in the forehead. "Good morning my love. You slept with Yuri last night. So I carried you back to our room."
Sakura sat on her chair and whispered "thanks Lee."
"Dad where's my eye glass? Have you seen it?" Sarada out from her room called out to her very reliable dad.
He gave it to her with a demanding smile. Waiting for a prize from his favorite spoiled brat eldest daughter.
She kissed his cheek and said "I love you dad. You're the best. How do I live without you?" Sarada exaggerated.
Lee giggled and continued with breakfast.
Sakura is happy just watching her family every morning like this. The kids are very spoiled from Lee her husband for many years.
Yuri the youngest son is seven. He is like a male version of Sakura. He is soft hearted to animals and is very close to his mom.
Metal is ten years old, who looked like Lee when he was young. But he got his intelligence from Sakura. He is a very responsible boy as he always takes care of his little brother.
Hana, fourteen looked like Lee. She is very lady-like that her dad is very protective of her being so fragile.
Sarada is nineteen. She is freshman college taking pre-medicine course. She looked like a female Sasuke, her biological dad.
Their children was schooled in an academic school not in the ninja academy. The couple never wanted them to be ninjas like what they used to be. Although they have learned basic self defense to protect themselves.
Sakura is satisfied with how her life had turned out. She's been taking care of the kids while teaching in the afternoon at the medical school where Sarada goes to.
Lee has retired early from being a ninja since his body had never fully recovered from the fatal attacks he's gotten from the last ninja war.
He had been managing his chain of restaurants and managing their family well. He is a very reliable father and husband. He is very close to the children specially to Sarada whom he treats as his own real daughter.
As Lee and the children bid goodbye to her. Sakura is left alone to keep the house clean.
"Sarada no to boys yet ok." She reminded her.
Sarada kissed her cheek and whispered "You're annoying mom."
Then she hurried to the front seat beside her dad.
Sarada loved her dad more than her mom. She adores him very much. She still did not know Lee is not her biogical dad.
Although sometimes she is wondering why she looked different from her siblings. But she never really felt left out in the family. She is spoiled and was pampered by her dad.
Sometimes there are changes she have noticed in her vision but she just kept them to herself.

Flashback

There was a time when she's 13, that she was extremely happy to receive a gift from her crush. She was then walking leisurely in the street when a rabbied dog attacked her. She managed to save herself as she could clearly anticipate its moves.
When she looked at her reflection from a broken glass. She saw her eyes were red. Yet she never felt any pain.
She researched about it on her own then she learned it is a kekkei-genkai of the Uchiha clan. She started to have fascination researching about the clan... and after a week of research. She decided to stop.
"That clan was wretched." She mumbled to herself.
She looks at her reflection in the mirror, beholding her red eyes and thought.
I am living the happiest life anyone would like to live. I loved my dad and mom. I know there is a secret my parents are keeping from me. But I don't want to know.
So she chose for herself to stay away from the ninja world. She never ask nor say anything to her parents.

Lee started the engine and drive the kids to school. He was just starting to shift second gears when he thought someone had crossed the street and he hit him. So he made a sudden full stop and went out of the car to check the front. But there was none there.
Sarada saw it clearly with her eyes turning into sharingan. It was that man. He was fast but she can see him clearly. Their red eyes met. And it seemed like they've seen each other's soul. He was gone now.
She thought he could be going home to her mom. So she made an excuse to go back alone.
"Dad I think I forgot something. I have to go back home. Don't worry I will ride a taxi."
"But we can just turn the car around." Lee offered.
"No, you know mom would be angry again if I cause my siblings to be late because of my negligence. She would nag me for a month." She gave her dad a warning look imitating her mom.
Lee laughed at how adorable she is. "Ok you win... Just sneak at the back door. So she wouldn't noticed you're back because you've forgotten something again." He kissed her forehead and give her additional money for taxi.
"Be sure to ride a taxi not the train. It's very dangerous to ride the train alone." He reiterated as he was very protective of Sarada.

As she sneaked at the back door. She heard her mom arguing to a male voice. She tried to eavesdrop to hear them clearly.
"Because we have Sarada." She heard that man said in adamant voice.
Sasuke noticed her sneaking. He went fast in front of her and said. "Because we have you... Sarada."
