🌸 "Good morning, dear. Sakura here helped me carry all these grocery bags, so I thought I should show some gratitude by inviting her for breakfast." Mikoto said politely with a sweet smile plastered on her face.

A tall and broad man entered my vision. He has slate black hair and onyx eyes. His face was wrinkled and it showed much pride as if the whole world could not compete with his power. His judgemental eyes stared into my emerald orbs which showed hatred towards the Uchiha clan and the father of whom slaughtered my entire clan except for Neji and I.

"Please accept my condolences upon the tragedy of your clan. I sincerely apologise over my eldest son's doing and I thank you for lending my wife a hand. Please, have a sit with me. I'd love to have a word with you."

Condolences?! That happened years ago! He is only wishing me now?! Anger fuelled my circulation and burned my skin.

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan. I can handle in the kitchen on my own." Mikoto beamed and immediately grab the bags from my hand including my eaten apple.

I awkwardly sat next to Fugaku on the table and set my hands on my knees to stop them from shaking in both fear and anger. I'm in the presence of a clan head after all, one of the strongest clan at that.

"So, Sakura Hyuga is it? I heard you are in my youngest son, Sasuke's team?"

"Yes. Along with Naruto Haruno and Hinata."

"I see."

Mikoto came out from the kitchen and handed each of us a glass of warm milk. I slowly grabbed my glass and took small sips from it.

"Say.. Have you ever considered marrying into Uchiha clan?"

Upon hearing such a ridiculous question, I immediately choke on my drink.

I coughed painfully and blushed a brighter shade of red than my hair.

"Fugaku! She's still young!" Apparently, Mikoto was eavesdropping because in an instant, she knocked her husband's head.

"I just want to make sure my son's future is guaranteed. I want a well-educated and strong woman to mother my grandchildren."

I gaped at him and if possible, my face became more red than it already was.

HAS FUGAKU-SAN ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS?! I screamed in my mind.

"Father, mother, what's with all the ruckus outside?" A young boy with duck butt hair stepped into the room to watch a woman hitting an unexpected man and a girl who looks as if she's about to faint. "Sakura? What are you doing here? Why is your face so red?"

My mouth hung agape at Fugaku still. Unable to utter a single word.

"Father.. What did you say to Sakura to have her behave this way?"

"I simply asked her to mother my grandchildren."

YOU DID NOT!!!

In a blink of an eye, if you can see, smoke escaped from my ears and fainted on the spot. Luckily, Sasuke snapped out of his daze fast enough to catch me in his arms before I hit the floor.

Sasuke definitely did not expect his father to do so because he too, was blushing the same shade as his favourite fruit.

"M-M-Mother??" He muttered to himself.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a foreign room and Mikoto pulling Fugaku by the ear. Sasuke on the other hand, went back into his dreamland because he was staring blankly on the wall with a deep blush on each of his pale cheeks.

"Oh, you're awake!" Mikoto sighed in relief.

Sasuke immediately snapped out of it and stared at me.

"You scared me when you fainted earlier. It has been 2 hours ever since, would you still like to have your breakfast?" Mikoto asked while still pulling Fugaku's ear.

"Yes, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you."

With that, she left the room with Fugaku behind her. Not like he has a choice, her hands were on him.

The two adults left Sasuke and I alone; of course, I was embarrassed. I have never acted that way in front of anybody before and never have I thought one of the most powerful clan's head is this.. weird? Also, it has been a long time since I last heard Sasuke speak in sentences.
