As everyone was done with their shopping, they went to a restaurant and ordered food

Both of the boys were sitting together and Sakura was sitting Infront of them

Just then her phone rang, it was ikeda-san

"Hello, yes okaa-chan....... Yeah, their still with me.. you don't have to apologize. I know it was important.... Ok have a nice day at work. Bye, I love you."

As she talked to ikeda, the boys looked at her with great interest. They wanted to know more about her

If they think about it now, they don't know anything about her.

All they know about her is who her father is, nothing else

They were also curious about who this woman was, that she called okaa-chan. She didn't look like sakura at all, surely she wasn't her mother..... So why is she calling that women mother?

As sakura was done talking she looked at Gojo and Geto, they were looking at her.

"You know, you just keep staring at me. It's creepy."

They sighed

"We just realized that we know anything about you."

She tilted her head on the side

"Okay..... If you want to ask something, go ahead. I won't mind.... But don't ask stupid questions that's all."

They nodded their heads

"What's your favorite color?"-Gojo

"Blue"

"What's your favorite flower? And food?"-Geto

"Cherry blossom 🌸..... Favourite food is syrup-coated anko dumplings"

Gojo snorted

"So you like yourself? You were named after that flower, aren't you? Smooth and delicate."

She looked at Gojo for a good minute before chuckling softly

This surprised both Gojo and Geto. They thought she would curse them out or be bitter about what Gojo just said. But she didn't.

"You're right. I was named after the cherry blossom. You know, because my hair and all but do you know the meaning of the sakura blossom? Or what is symbolizes?"

They looked at each other and shook their heads no

"It symbolizes both life and death, beauty and violence. As the coming of spring promises new life, so the blooming of cherry blossoms brings a sense of vitality and vibrancy. At the same time, their short lifespan is a reminder that life is fleeting. Just like I can kill and heal at the same time. My hands can symbolize life and deaths."

Then raised her green glowing hand, showing it to them

"You see, even though my name was givin to me because of my looks, it becomes more accurate because of my technique. These hand can do both. Give and take life. A fitting name, don't you think?"

She asked with a smile

They looked at her in awe before Geto chuckled and replied

"It sure is Sakura-chan, the most beautiful and fitted name for you."

To say that they are impressed will be and understatement.

She is so intellectual and wise. Sometimes when she talks, they feel like they are talking to someone so much older.

She can be both childesh and mature.

"You're staring at me again."

Embarrassing!

"Okay, what is your hobby?"

She frowned her brows, thinking.  After a moment she replied

"playing trivia games and memorizing new material for my medical studies. I guess "

Gojo snorted again

"So you're a nerd?"

She pouted

"Geto sempai, he's bulleing me!"

She whined

"Satoru, don't torment her."

They chuckled in union

" Who was that lady with you today? You called her mother but she didn't have the same last name as you. Did she separate from your father?"

Now she looked at them with wide eyes and an open mouth before bursting out laughing

"Oh god! You thought she was my mother!? How? We look nothing alike."

She said in-between her giggles.

'So she wasn't her mother. Now she will think we lost our minds! How embarrassing.'

Geto and Gojo thought in union. They were already flushed

After calming down

She rolled her eyes

" No one's gonna marry my papa, let alone an angel like okaa-chan. She's the mother of my childhood friends. We grew together so her and I bonded though out the years. So I call her okaa-chan. And I love her very much."

She said cheerfully

"Why won't anyone marry your father? His a good man and has a good income."

She snorted

"His the biggest pervert and idiot I have ever met. No woman would like him. Trust me, I know."

They waiden their eyes not believing what she was saying

Then her eyes soften as she dangled with a strand of her long pink hair

"But he's also the person who loves me the most. And I do too. He gave me this life and he made me what I am today. If it wasn't for him I don't know what would have happened to me. Maybe I would still be at that orphanage now. But he took me in and loved me like his own daughter. He never made me feel like I wasn't his own daughter. I never had to ask anything twice. He never forced me for anything. He trained me and made me strong. No matter how he is, he's the best dad in the world."

As she said all of this with a smile on her face, she didn't see how the other two were looking at her in pure disbelief and shock

"You're adopted?"

Both of them asked at the same time

"Yeah, I am."

They still couldn't believe it! They had seen with their own eyes hew much her father cared for her

' she didn't feel a tad bit embarrassed. She's so strong and honest! She's amazing. '

Geto thought to himself

' she didn't even try to hide it. She's even proud. How admirable!'

Gojo thought

"Why do you look so surprised? I don't look like papa."

As she asked this they came back to reality

"No it's just, he is so caring and overprotective towards you. It's hard to believe."

She chuckled

"I know. My papa is the best."

"You're really close to your friends aren't you?"

She softly smailed at them

"Yeah, in life I have learned to value friends. Sometimes, They are the only ones who would understand you in this whole world. I believe in friendship bonds greatly."

They nodded still a little dazed

Their food came. They chatted while eating. Smiling and laughing

"I don't understand, sometimes it feels like you hate us and sometimes it feels like you don't. You're confusing."

Gojo said and she chuckled

"I don't hate you. Yes, you two can be a handful sometimes. And your height just annoys me because I have to look up so much. But I don't hate you. This is just how I am. I don't have much filters, I am hot headed, moody. I behave like this with everyone. Nothing else."

She said with a joyful smile while they nodded a little flushed from the information

When the waiter brought out the bill, Gojo and Geto were getting their cards out. But sakura beat them at it as she paid in cash

"Keep the change and please bring me the takeout order."

The waiter nodded with a smile

As she looked back her companions ware looking at her like she has comited some kind of crime

"Why would you do that?"

Gojo demanded

"Yeah, sakura, we should have paid. We are the guys for goddess sake."

Geto said frustratedly

She looked at them with a surprised look before giggling. She got up and softly patted their heads. It was an affectionate gesture that kakashi did to her. Then she softly pinched their cheeks

"It's okay. I don't mind. It doesn't always have to be the guy who pays. Plus, you deserve to get treated once in a while too. Cause you two are such pretty boys."

It was a harmless compliment really. Something she did with her father, Neji, Haibara and Nanami too. Something meant to be a mood maker.

With the last laugh, she went to get the takeout that she got for Haibara and Nanami

Geto and Gojo sat there frozen in place. Their faces flushed red, eyes closed tightly, fists clenched. They couldn't believe what she just sayed.

For Gojo and Geto, no one has ever been so affectionate towards them. It was new. And what made it more spacial is that it was her! Sato Sakura! The girl they have feelings for

They thought she hated them when she's like that with everyone

She even called them pretty boys!

Sakura came back with the takeout only to find her sempai all flushed red

She didn't understand the reason and thought they were sick

"O my goodness, sempai are you okay? Are you feeling sick."

"No s-sakura-chan. We are fine. Let's go, we'll be late."

Although she wasn't convinced at all, she went with them without a question. She didn't want them to feel uncomfortable
