p data-p-id="fa5dce0b197ad849d5a2bc27d02ca076""What am I looking at here exactly?" Sai asked, anger in his tone while he scrolled down on Naruto's phone./p
p data-p-id="77f640d79146ae56ee0e93a58d747cd7"He washoping to see a "goodbye fucker" or "we're over asshole" text. But, the chat didn't even move indicating that it was the end of the conversation./p
p data-p-id="8fec19fb5931c113ae4290df95fd5207""You're looking at my failed attempt of breaking things off with Juugo." Naruto said turning his to face the wall./p
p data-p-id="6c65aef20dae291dbc0a6a978d3a7a76""But why? Naruto, he cheated on you." Sai said in a soft tone trying to calm himself down./p
p data-p-id="0e719d8c2e1fe159cf9de6181ac40cb4"Sai didn't understand that in a relationship breaking up with someone you love, wasn't easily done as it was said. Even when they really deserved it./p
p data-p-id="d9185bfc0305d90909feda1848349e1c""Because I just can't, it's hard Sai. I can't do it, at least not right now. I-I just can't." Naruto replied, his voice sounding very shaken./p
p data-p-id="a600c05aaeb9007f7e921c8236701d10"Sai let out a small sigh and moved over to Naruto's bed. He sat on the side of the bed and rubbed circles in his back./p

p data-p-id="1722f37bf2ec049c1c902e08e3774459""I feel broken and conflicted." Naruto admitted. "I know that I should break things off with Juugo, and I know he fucked up majorly. But, I can't bring myself to do it. H-He is my first love Sai. I've never been so happy, and felt so loved in that type of way with anyone except him. Sai, I'm so sorry. I should've listened to you, mom and dad. You guys were right, he was no good."/p
p data-p-id="dddd7af5324aede6f5966ef8c6cc9e2d"Naruto formed his hands into fist to fight back the tears. He didn't want to cry anymore. He's cried enough for one day./p
p data-p-id="9d3bf46a314055201c65b677240fefa6""Naruto, it's okay. We knew he was no good for you, but we would have never wanted you to realise it like this." Sai comforted. "Nobody deserves to go through something like this, he should be ashamed. I'm sorry, that this all happed to you ."/p
p data-p-id="b3f17de83338b22da31d5410d7808545"Sai continued rubbing soft gentle circles in Naruto's back, trying to calm him down./p

p data-p-id="f9c049967f581cd9d5aa31eea54f7c30"Naruto, remained quiet in his thoughts, but nodded./p
p data-p-id="4d30344e5cfe10fb0325d0ce1348a171""Okay, let's go." Sai said./p
p data-p-id="a351b588dcdba9c150f4d15b424388d7"Naruto rose out of the bed with a long sigh, and they both walked out the room and downstairs, to the kitchen./p

p data-p-id="eb4d0aa8baad38a8e68eef44368f3ea8""Okay, oh and boys, wear something more suitable for hot weather. Konoha's weather is not like here with rain and dark cloudy skies. It's sunny and beautiful. I really miss seeing it. You guys will love it." Kushina said, beaming with excitement./p

p data-p-id="64c435325277a51692fc15719a9125ce""No Kushina, I don't think you did." Minato said, while chuckling, earning a light slap on the arm from Kushina./p
p data-p-id="84153bebeba16a6846901b1873a7fab7""Oh well. Yea sweetheart, I'm from there. I had live there before your father and I moved here." She said answering Sai's question./p
p data-p-id="deba148416b0b606245e7b74b15b4342""Oh, so why'd you move to this place if Konoha was so amazing?" Naruto asked./p
p data-p-id="93b8e26d38694f412cca36a0763a0ee2"Kushina froze, looking at Sai and Naruto. She didn't know what to tell them, it wasn't the right time to tell them./p
p data-p-id="1bece88d789e39288697f5da6e7a6ae8"Kushina, was about to say something to change the topic, but Minato spoke for her./p
p data-p-id="bc6df7fb4a51a65de11386e33ab93579""We moved here to live on our own. We wanted to try something new. Explore a little bit." Minato said giving a sincere smile and resting his hand on Kushina, who then smiled back at him, mentally thankful for him./p
p data-p-id="4c184078f3ec72b933a7c02526c08ae9""Oh, that's so amazing. That's how you know people from there?" Sai asked./p

p data-p-id="e96176cf52514b5558dd914849320ad1"Naruto, leaned back in his chair and stayed quiet for the rest of the conversation. All the while Kushina glancing at him. Something was definitely wrong and she was going to find out./p

p data-p-id="0ac00b625029559b06ac7ae712397413"After dinner, I called Sai to help me with the dishes. Really, I wanted to get him separated from Naruto so I could ask him what was wrong./p
p data-p-id="4cb161af12c4cde05e969bee045922db"It seems wrong, but I had to do it this because Sai was a lot more honest and open than Naruto. He'd tell me anything if I asked./p
p data-p-id="71ff3afc26e9d42a3afa75bc3c637dfb"As we were cleaning the table and washing the dishes. Naruto and Minato, went upstairs to pack the remaining of our belongings. So, I took this opportunity as my chance to ask him./p
p data-p-id="32c9bc97246e76dbd6c68ed3ef80c292""Sai, could you come here for a minute." I said to him from the sink./p
p data-p-id="7f625fc404f16ea87bc87ef4bbb870d2"I heard his footsteps walking towards me in a timid pattern. My sweetheart was scared, so cute./p

p data-p-id="137b01b3cb4a9580ecadd1d15662dd85"I turned to him and dried my hands from the water and placed them on his shoulders./p
p data-p-id="430dc6ee20e32022de84d7080c0a3690""Don't be scared Sai. You're not in trouble, I just want to ask you a question." I said giving him an assuring smile. He seemed to ease up and nodded his head./p
p data-p-id="1996088f027f469ad6cf54c152f3b67b""What wrong with you and Naruto?" I asked firmly, and he immediately tensed up again./p
p data-p-id="0d31d5374082df5182206a21bdbba74c""What do you mean?" He asked while looking at me like my hair was blue. I gave him a 'really' expression./p
p data-p-id="9df4aef2b3f37f7a75468ae4ca750345""Sai, come on don't keep things for me, and don't lie. You can do that to your father, but forget I just said that. What's wrong with you and Naruto?" I asked again./p
p data-p-id="65e7fdd873a069fcb8c04c9a318eee62""Ahh mom, I'd tell you but it's not my place. I promised Naruto I wouldn't tell." He replied./p
p data-p-id="7cb357831475f009770b99d64b9633f2"Naruto making Sai promise not to tell? Must be something important, nothing life threatening at least. Sai would've indeed spoken if it was life threatening./p
p data-p-id="7e2e2ca564d45361a5e3a6e63a20c4c0""Ah I see." I said slightly disappointed./p

p data-p-id="d05dcb1902d6e05aac940ea3fa217f1d""Yeah. But, he said he'd promise to tell you as soon as he's ready." Sai advised me./p
p data-p-id="9e6acfffd3279c3b5f64a12198cd3161"At that moment my eyes widened. I leaned closer to Sai and used my hand to cover my mouth over his ear./p
p data-p-id="ed4c70b5c60ec05db7cdd51d4e633d6c""Did he have sex?" I whispered./p
p data-p-id="1615396f9066b603199c1a2a3db7432e"When I pulled back Sai had a tint of red dancing on his cheeks./p
p data-p-id="7c044e8cd6f7bc78a3abf46508a40a6c""Ew, mom? No. It's nothing like that. He'll tell you when he's ready." He said while wiggling and looking embarrassed./p
p data-p-id="0d8a519a4807b1e52d40199c56cd1e14"I laughed at his reaction and gave him a hug./p
p data-p-id="9799d5e7cea9730f621420771c2be969""Okay, I understand, that's good. Hopefully he tells me or Minato soon." I said breaking the hug./p
p data-p-id="88421148dc037892514fe9a7a0ad9754"Sai smiled and was about to continue helping me but I stopped him. If Naruto was feeling unhappy, then maybe getting out of the house would lighten his mood./p
p data-p-id="2947fdd4869c9fb3f8c4aa1740d45d26""You know what Sai? Naruto seems really sad. So here's what I want you to do. I want you two to go the mall together, since it's still early, basically our last day in The Hidden Mist." I said looking at Sai who was looking at me like I'm crazy./p
p data-p-id="4c15ab085cae166343e5086a23a6797e""Are you feeling okay mom?" He asked while placing his hand on my forehead./p
p data-p-id="918c59c388a95e1d44004d9dfdc6ab90"I rolled my eyes and playfully slapped his hand away./p
p data-p-id="0ec61d94380025d0e2dafa9acd3bca5a""Yes I'm fine. But Naruto isn't, so I'm giving you two permission to go to the mall. The rain won't bother you if it falls, and there's lots of fun stuff to do." I said./p
p data-p-id="33adde072617948646ea8a94c590dac5"Sai looked to hesitant at first, but agreed anyway./p
p data-p-id="1541c6cb508c21aa218d9b95c2b1fcac""But, we'll have to travel by car cause it's a long way. Will you drive us?" He asked./p
p data-p-id="4f1cc332cf6dc7c3970b7c1297ceb90b""Nope, you'll drive yourselves." I replied, walking over to where I had left my handbag. I pulled out the car keys and $20, holding them in front of Sai./p
p data-p-id="aab2a5c69c4c708b9f10a4087399c167""Are you serious?" Sai asked me while cautiously taking the items./p

p data-p-id="2cdb234ec356934c47a55a1565114be3""No problem, just take care of each other okay." I said while hugging him back./p
p data-p-id="d522a54db1b44f0472dc6a4d91b7df85"As if on cue Minato and Naruto were walking back downstairs with boxes of items./p
p data-p-id="4aaaf499b1f45c9cfca25c6b395ffd77""Minato, I'm letting the boys go to the mall since it's our last day and I'm allowing them to take the car themselves. Is that okay boo?" I asked Minato, hoping he'd agree./p
p data-p-id="936369b64e8a9079d032fe7669a34d33""Ahh by themselves? I don't know about having my boys out there on there own like that, especially with the car." He replied while crossing his arms after putting the boxes down./p
p data-p-id="06f6af7c7b379583a777924a1fd435a7"Of course he'd be like this./p
p data-p-id="9f5c4450aba49c458851265fb112cd29""Minato, that's silly the boys are sensible and old enough to take of themselves, and it'll be both of them. It'll be much safer and taking the car will keep them safer as well, because they won't have to walk the long distance." I said trying to convince him./p
p data-p-id="cf8376eb10f92c26bf6ab9e6ebba43e9"Minato, rubbed his chin, thinking about what I said. I hope he allows them. Cause I'll take them myself if I have too, but I don't wanna leave him here to pack everything alone./p
p data-p-id="6e3d83f9b3698710aae784444aafba3b""She's right dad we'll be really safe, no talking to other boys or anything like that. I promise." Sai said./p
p data-p-id="19985e6a03b84d403024096aab6c98cc""Oh okay, that's fine by me then." He agreed quickly./p
p data-p-id="1d956c0667a4bda8673279978fcb6c44"Of course Minato would agree to the idea now, especially when 'no other boys' hit his eardrums. But, if it works I can't complain./p
p data-p-id="d30cae09d9e46d9e445750f1aa970b3a"I winked at Sai for thinking quickly in the situation, he smiled back at me in response./p
