Secret
Class at the academe ended and all the students where going home. as Hayate walked outside a bunch of girls started squealing as he walked. When he turned to them they just ran off.
"Girls are so wired." he turned around and kept walking.
"Hayate-kun!" Hiara shouted as she and Zarno ran to catch-up with him.
"Where are you going, don't you live that way?" Zarno asked.
"Nai, my mom is working late tonight, so I get to annoy Tsunade-baachan (1)" Hayate smiled.
"You actually like her, she and Tou-san always get into a fight, and she gives him a bloody nose by just flicking his nose. Tsunade-sama scares me and Okaa-san." Hiara said looking up at Tsunade's face in the Hokage Mountains.
"Your Okaa-san is afraid of everything Hiara-chan." Zarno laughed.
"Shut up Zarno." She yelled.
"You're forgetting the kun, Hiara-chan." he corrected her; suddenly Hayate kicked him in the face.
"Hiara-chan lets go." Hayate smiled.
"OK Hayate-KUN." She smiled and teased Zarno.
"I'll call you latter, Hiara-chan." Zarno shouted.
"Please," She smiled and as quickly as she smiled it went, "Don't." they walked off leaving Zarno behind. They neared Tsunade's office.
"Hayate-kun?" she smiled.
"Ya."
"Um, when we where all arguing about our Tou-sans, why did you not say something about your, Tou-san?" she blushed looking away from Hayate.
"Well, of course I have a Tou-san, but its, well it's complicated, but my Okaa-san tells me so many things about him. Like he was the number one rookie genin when he graduated. He was really cool, and that he, Okaa-san, and your Tou-san, where on the same squad, along with Zarno's Tou-san as their Sensei."
Hayate told her smiling a great big smile, he loved to talk about Sasuke, and probably because he never knew Sasuke, and he feels whole when he talks about him.
"Well this is my stop, see you tomorrow Hiara-chan." Hayate smiled and waved as he went to the door.
"Hayate-kun, can I walk with you and your Okaa-san tomorrow?" She shouted to his back.
"Its OK with me, come over around seven thirty." He answered.
"Thank you Hayate-kun." she shouted as she walked away.
Hayate walked up a long staircase, and was greeted by many people. Finally he got to the floor where her door is. I was shut so he suspected she was talking to someone, or drinking Sake like theirs no tomorrow.
'Why does she have to be on the top floor, why not the second, but no it has to be the eleventh?' Hayate ran his fingers threw his hair and walked up to the door.
Before he knocked he could hear Tsunade talking to someone, she sounded sober and very serious. He decided to listen, before he interrupted them.
"You have already done enough, what if he catches you?" she asked.
"No I have to find out what he is planning, it's apart of our deal." it was a man's voice, grown and very, very serious.
"Remember or where you so drunk that you cou-" you could hear Tsunade grab the nearest thing and hit the man with it.
"Don't forget your other promise, to Sakura-sama." she said as she pushed her chair back and stood. Hayate's eyes widened at the sound of his mother's name.
'A promise to Okaa-san?'
"Sakura-sama trusts you to find out what Orochimaru and the leader of the Akatsuki are planning, she also trust you with her secret." Tsunade said sternly.
'Okaa-san has a secret?'
"I know Tsunade-sama; I know the risk that I'm taking by spying on Orochimaru, and the Sound village. I'm not going to break my promises. Especially the one to Sakura-chan." he answered Tsunade, he voice got deeper.
"Remember, now that he is of age, and the Akatsuki leader knows that he exists, he will stop at nothing to get his hands on Sakura-sama, and Hayate-kun."
Hayate's eyes widened even more.
'Who, what, someone is after Okaa-san and me?!"
"I know that Tsunade-sama!" the man shouted at her.
"Sakura-sama's secret is also Hayate-kun's, be careful on your journey back to Sound." She walked back to her seat and pulled it back and sat in it.
"I don't need luck, Tsunade-sama." He said with arrogance in his voice.
"You should pay a visit to her before you go; she is at the hospital today. She really misses you, Uchiha Sasuke." She said to him.
Hayate gasped at the name that he heard; His father's name.
'Tou-san, Tou-san is here!!!!!!!' Hayate quickly knocked on the door.
"Come in." Tsunade answered
Hayate flew in and expedited to see his Tou-san. But he just saw Tsunade sitting in her chair reading papers.
"Good afternoon Hayate-kun how was your first day of class?" She smiled and looked at him.
'Looks just like Sasuke-sama.'
"It was great, I was number one today, no one was better than me!" Hayate shouted deciding to forget about what he wished was in the room.
"That's wonderful to hear, you're on your way to be a great ninja, just like many before you." She smiled than began to dig in her pocket for something.
"Hayate-kun do me a favor, I got a terrible headache." She said as she tossed him a coupon for something. "Go get me a bottle of Sake, please." She said pulling her hair out of her face.
Hayate gave her a disgusted look, and threw the paper back to her.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Tsunade-baachan, I can't get you sake, for one thing I'm eight they don't let anyone under twenty-one into the Sake store." He said walking to her desk.
"OK I get it," She smiled.
"Besides if you're watching me your going to have to be sober or Okaa-san will kill you!" he smiled.
"OK, OK, let's go." She said as she got op and stretched her arms.
They locked the door and began the walk back down the long stair case. they walked out into the sunset.
"Tsunade-baachan look, look the first star of the night!" He pointed to the sky. Tsunade smiled at him,
'How much he resembles Sasuke but acted just like Sakura, he is so innocent in every way.'
"That means you get to wish on it Hayate-kun." she bent down and whispered in his hear.
"Wish for Sake for me please?" She joked.
"No I know what I'm going to wish for." He smiled than closed his eyes.
'I wish Tou-san will go see Okaa-san, and well do what ever it is when two adults see each other. I want Okaa-san to be happy." He smiled and finished.
"Done, let's go, I'm hungry Tsunade-baachan." He laughed.
"Stop with the baachan thing, I'm not old." She said as she lightly hit him on the head.
"You and Naruto-sama both annoy me with that baachan comment! Who in their right mind came up with that suffix?" she shouted as they walked to her house.
In the shadow of the buildings, two men where watching the Hokage and Hayate. their eyes full of hate and death, their black cloak bearing red clouds covering ever inch of their bodies. the shorter of the two wanted to move twords them.
When he was about to jump, the other place his hand in front of him.
"Don't, not when the fifth Hokage is guarding him." He whispered.
"But he's just a child; she can't possibly protect him with the two of us." he whispered back.
"Remember she is a member of the Sannin, becides you could end up killing him, leader want Uchiha Hayate, alive."
Flashback:
"I want you two to bring me Uchiha Hayate, and his Okaa-san Haruno Sakura." A dark voice in front of them shouted to them.
"My lord, why do you want them, I don't mean to question you." He asked.
"They have a power that we need in order to crush Konoha. I need their powers, I need the boy alive, and I don't care about his Okaa-san. She served her purpose to me many years ago." He answered.
"My lorry we don't understand why this boy?"
"This boy as you put it is my grandson, and his dear Okaa-san is my daughter."
End of Flashback
"We'll wait for the invasion to take him." He answered and they disappeared.
9:47 PM, Konoha hospital
"Sakura we're locking up, you coming?" A nurse shouted from the door.
Sakura walked out of the staff room and moved to the front desk.
"No Amah, I have to finish up this paperwork, I'll leave latter. You girls want coffee tomorrow, my treat?" She asked.
"Thanks Sakura, make sure you go home soon." She shouted as she closed the doors.
"I'll try." She smiled and began to fill out release forms and Dr. Notes.
10:23 PM, still in Konoha hospital.
Sakura was still working on her stack of papers as she felt a familiar chakra fill the room. She turned around and her eyes widened. The person before her was the person she had wished to see during these last eight years.
Dark onyx eyes, met pail green ones, locked in an eternal glare, her eyes showing emotion and longing, his showing absolutely no emotion what so ever, how she hated being under his gaze, yet how she loved staring into his eyes and getting lost in them.
She fought the urge to cry, but she couldn't help it, she had to let out eight years of loneliness. She felt the wetness of her tears fall down her cheeks; she closed her eyes to stop them from coming. What surprised her next was a hand wiping them away. Her eyes shot open as her face was only inches away from the one person's face she loved more than Hayate. She closed her eyes for one more attempt to stop the tears from falling.
"Silly little Sakura-chan." His voice laughed.
She felt warm strong arms round her small frame, and was pulled into his tight embrace. She allows his warmth incase her body, not wanting to let go of this moment, in fear this was yet another dream. Finale she mustered enough courage to speak.
"Sasuke-kun!" She whispered as he tightened his grip on her small frame.
(1) Baachan- means grandmother or old hag by the way the person says it, when Naruto calls Tsunade: Tsunade-baachan; he means old hag, but Hayate is really calling her grandmother, but she interprets it wrong.
