Chapter Five-Mistake
Hikaru was in his class bored out of his mind. Everything his sensei was lecturing about the young blonde already knew. That wasn't the only problem, he was also being harassed by one of his bullies from the back. The blockhead kept throwing small paper balls at his head. His sensei saw everything and decided to ignore it. This pissed Hikaru off because if he tried to fight back or yell at them to stop he would be the one to get in trouble instead of the abusers. He decided as soon as he got the chance he would ditch class again. This was his third year here and he is now eight years old. This has become a common thing ever since he started attending the ninja academy and the blonde hated every minute of it. He was too smart for class and too impatient with his stupid classmates. That wasn't his only problem, he also had to deal with going home to his so call family. Now after three and a half years he has two little sisters. His older one named Aiko and his newest one who was only 3 months old Katsumi.
Hikaru buried his face in his arms, ever since Aiko came into the picture Hikaru has felt more like an outsider in his own house. He missed the days where it was just him and his mom. Sure the villagers were more brutal back then, but at least it was only the two of them. Now his mother and Sai were married with two kids of their own. They had no reason to keep him, at least that's what everyone in his class tells him. It was no better when he was walking around the village. He would often hear the villagers call him a mistake and they even have the nerve to call him that in front of his face sometimes. It soon started to become a nickname. Everywhere he went people would call him mistake if he wasn't in front of his family. Even one of his senseis would call him that sometimes.
He never told his mom about this because he remembers how sad she used to be when she saw the villagers and kids mistreat him. Hikaru never wanted to see his mom sad like that ever again. So he'll take the abuse and just run to his hiding spot when it gets too much for him.
As soon as it was lunch Hikaru was the first out of his class. He made his way to the Kunichi side of the academy to hang out with Chouko. He saw the brunette sitting under the cherry blossoms with an extra bento box for Hikaru. He decided to mess with his long time friend by sneaking up behind her.
He quickly covered the younger girl's eyes, "Guess who?"
Chouko only pouted, "The blonde guy who thinks he's funny!"
Hikaru snickered, "Wrong!" He let go of her face, "I am funny!"
"Yeah and I'm the hokage."
"You could be if you put your mind to it."
Chouko smiled, "Yeah right." She handed the older boy his bento, "How's class?"
"Boring as usual, plus those jerks keep screwing around with me."
"I keep telling ya, you need to tell the teachers about that. If you don't it won't stop."
"Yeah like that loser will help me. I'm fine Chouko."
"No your not! Stop lying to me! If he won't help you, you should see if auntie Sakura can do something about it."
"No. Absolutely not."
"Why? I thought you were smart Hikaru you always complain about how much smarter you are compare to everyone else. So why are you being so stupid?"
Hikaru kept a blank expression while chewing his food. He hated it when Chouko insist he tells his mom about being harassed, "Chouko remember when we were little, before my mom ended up with that jerk?"
The younger girl was taken back by the sudden question, "Huh? Um, yeah a little I guess. I was really small during that time.
"Well before she got married my mom used to be really sad all the time because of how mean everyone used to treat both of us. We used to get glared at a lot wherever we went. I even remember this one time when someone called me this word I can't really remember, but I do remember the look on moms face when he called me it."
Chouko stared silently at him. She slowly started recalling times when she used to see Hikaru and his mom looking drained almost everyday.
"I don't want mom to find out I'm still being harassed."
Chouko sighed, "Hikaru... I think I understand now but still... I hate seeing you hurt everyday... And its not just in school either it's also whenever your home too right? You don't even eat dinner with them whenever I come over."
"Well I don't want to ruin the perfect image. I don't belong..."
"Hikaru..."
After the two finished their meal Hikaru stood clapping his hands tilting his head down, " Thanks for the meal." he then made his way towards the exist.
"Hikaru you know your gonna get in trouble if you keep ditching like this." Chouko got up. She knew she couldn't really stop him since he'll ditch wither she likes it or not. Didn't mean it never bothers her when he did.
"No one cares if I do. I'm too smart for this place anyways." with that he jumped away off the academy campus to train on his own.
"You may act tough but I know that their words hurt you more than anything..." She frowned. Chouko only sighed shaking her head, she decided to clean up and start heading back to class.
Hikaru was sitting on top of the bridge's side where he always hangs out. His green eyes were glued to the stream running under him. He just got back from throwing kunais and ninja stars in the forest. After he felt it was enough the blonde came strait here.
"I wonder why mom doesn't say much about my dad...? I mean it's like she doesn't ever want us to meet or something." He stared into the sky, "I bet he was really cool and strong. I wonder what he's doing out there right now...?"
Hikaru jumped up now standing on the bridge, "I bet he's out there fighting or maybe he's master ninja who goes on super important missions that are a lot cooler than the stupid missions here!"
He sighed letting his arms drop, "I wonder why he left me and mom in this stupid village...?"
Hikaru's mind started wander to his darkest feelings. He stopped when he felt tears drop from his chin.
"No! Stop thinking like that!", He slapped his cheeks getting his emotions under control. He wiped away his tears, "Its getting late, I better head home."
He jumped of the side and began making his way to his house. As he walked down a deserted pathway he froze when he saw a familiar group of boys walking his direction. He sighed and decided to just ignore whatever they said to him and walk pass them like he always try to do.
As he calmly walked passed his classmates they notice him and tried to mess with him and called Hikaru mean names. When Hikaru didn't respond one of them walked in front of him blocking his way.
"Can you move?" Hikaru asked.
"Why are you acting so high and mighty mistake?", the boy in front of him snickered.
"Yeah! You think you're better than us?", The other boy asked. Soon the group started surrounding him.
He groaned not liking this situation.
The boy to his right pushed him, "Where were you this afternoon huh?"
The kid he landed on pushed him as soon as he touched Hikaru, "Yeah mistake why'd you ditch again? Couldn't handle the class?"
Hikaru had enough. He focus his chakra on his right fist and punched the bully on his left.
All of them took a step back as he did that.
"No it just I already know everything. You morons are a bunch of idiots and sensei is just a bastard that needs to get over himself." Hikaru finally responded.
"You'll pay for that you mistake!" The boy who was punched got up trying to attack him. He doge every hit.
But soon the others snapped out of their daze and began attacking Hikaru. The blonde tried dodging every hit, countering every attack he could.
"Hold him down!" One of them shouted. The others started grabbing his arms, but that wasn't smart at all because as soon as they grabbed him Hikaru simply grabbed them back using his strength to throw them on the ground. Eventually Hikaru mange to beat every single one of them. He was panting and his whole body had bruises but he didn't worry about it. The blonde has always been able to heal fast.
"Hope you jerks learned your places!"
The only response the group could muster were groans and cries. Satisfied with his victory he started heading home.
"Maybe those punks will finally leave me alone." He muttered to himself as he walked home with a slight limp from his fight.
Hikaru walked through the front door to his house.
"Big brother!", a little girl with long black hair and big onyx eyes peeped.
"Oh hey Aiko.." Hikaru said. He never understood why Aiko liked him so much. He hasn't really given her a reason to. Hikaru is barley home and he doesn't talk to her much, but she still has this odd brother complex for him. She even waits by the door on the afternoons in till he comes home.
The little ravenette walked to his side hugging him. As this happens Sai walks to the front door, "Hikaru you're late." his step-father's eyes widen when he saw his condition, "What happened to you?"
Hikaru's eyebrows furrowed hating his concerned toned. He still hasn't warmed up to his mom's husband, "It's nothing..." He lifted Aiko setting her away from him, "I'm going to study." he took off his sandals and made his way to his bedroom.
"Hikaru I think you should have your mom check out those wounds.", Sai said lifting up his daughter in her arms.
"Don't make her worry for nothing, I'm fine." with that Hikaru walked in his room.
Sai only shook his head sighing, it's as been a struggle trying to get Hikaru to warm up to him. Sure he's not as harsh as he was when he was younger, but it didn't mean Hikaru accepted him.
"Big brother hurt?" Aiko asked pointing towards Hikaru's bedroom.
Sai smiled at his oldest daughter, "I think so.. Why don't we cook something good for him and mommy?"
Aiko smiled nodding, "Yeah!"
"But first lets check on your sister."
"Little sister!", the little three year old smiled.
Sai has decided to stay home in till his girls were old enough to attend the ninja academy while Sakura works at the hospital. So he usually stays home cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, and on his free time drawing or painting. After he was done checking on their smallest member of their family the two traveled to the kitchen and began preparing the food.
Hikaru was in his bedroom changing out of his dirty clothes into a tank top and some sweats. He hissed as the fabric stroked against some of his scratches. He hopes his mom doesn't have a cow when she sees him. After he changed Hikaru grabbed one of the advanced scrolls he's been studying about chakra control. He couldn't help but be proud about taking down those jerks using some of these justus in here. As he was reading he heard the door from the front open. Back then he would have probably rushed out to greet his mother, but he tends to just stay there in till it was time to grab something to eat. One thing that Sai was good for was making better meals than his mom.
Outside the bedroom Sakura came home exhausted and slightly drained from her busy day.
"Welcome home mommy!" Aiko cheered.
Sakura gave a gentle smile and took off her boots, "I'm home.." Sakura lifted her daughter giving her a big hug, "Hows my little artist?"
"Good! Me and daddy making dinner!"
"Oooh really? I bet it'll be really yummy. Is Hikaru home?"
Aiko nodded, "Yeah but he has owies!"
Sakura eyes widen, "Really?"
"Mhm!" she nodded again.
Sakura walked towards the kitchen to greet her husband, when she came inside she saw him cooking some miso salmon with white rice and nabeyaki udon soup. Sakura felt Aiko struggle in her arms. The rosette assumed she wanted down and set her on her feet. The little girl went back to helping her father. Sakura smiled at her daughters helpful nature she turned noticing her youngest child Katsumi in her pink highchair that used to belong to Aiko when she was really small. The small infant had short hair and bright onyx eyes like her sister and father.
Sakura walked over to her youngest smiling at her, "Hows my little rose bud." she caressed her cheek. The cheerful child smiled moving her hands slightly. She kissed the little girls forehead then moved behind her husband hugging him close.
"Hey." He greeted smiling.
"Hiya..." She mumbled in the back of his sweater. The rosette nuzzled her face against the man letting out and exhausted groan.
"Tough day?"
"Yeah... It was long." She pouted turning her right side laying against his upper back.
"Hikaru came home late again." Sai said as he set the heat to simmer on the soup.
"What again? Geez that kid. And what did Aiko mean when she said he had owies?", Sakura asked letting Sai go.
Sai turned facing his wife, "He came home with bruises. He acted like it was nothing."
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Just because he heals fast he acts like he's invincible. Where is he now?"
"Where else? He went strait to his room to study." Sai turned back to the stove finishing up the meal, "He says not to worry about it."
"Yeah right." Sakura frowned she left the kitchen going strait to her son's room. She knocked on the door, "Hikaru? Can I come in?"
"Sure.", He said from the other side.
Sakura open the door finding her son at his usual spot on his desk reading through advance scrolls. The mother almost flipped when she saw all of those bruises on her son. Sakura took a breath making sure she kept calm, for now.
"So why is my sunshine coming home with bruises? Did something happen?" She asked while walking in the room.
Hikaru pouted at his childish nickname, "Mom how many times did I tell you? Stop calling me sunshine!"
"I'll call you sunshine as much as I want! And you didn't answer my question."
"Nothing happened. I just fell on some rocks while training, no big deal."
"Are you sure Hikaru? You're not getting bullied again right?"
"No mom. Everything's fine."
Sakura felt like he wasn't being honest with her, "Are you sure nothings wrong?"
"Yes. I have a lot of homework tonight, I need to concentrate so just call me and I'll eat in here again."
"I'm sure it can wait. You've been working to hard on your assignments. You can take a dinner brake for one night can't you?"
"Mom it'll only distract me."
"You're eating dinner with us tonight. I don't care if you get an zero on this one assignment. You need to eat with your family we all don't see you enough."
"No thanks."
"You don't have a choice."
"Why are you forcing me mom? Isn't two kids enough, why do you need three huh? Plus you have Sai too right? You have everyone you need so why do you need me huh!?"
Sakura's eyes were widen surprised by her son's outburst, "Where is this coming from Hikaru?"
Hikaru realized he let a little too much of his feelings out. He look down a little embarrassed he let himself out of control, "Forget it..." He got up exiting his room to eat dinner with everyone.
Sakura stared at the ground with a frown on her face, "Hikaru...why won't you tell me anything..?"
Everyone at the table clapped their hands(well except for Katsumi of coarse), and said together, "Lets eat."
Sakura was right next to Katsumi feeding her, Aiko was struggling with her chopsticks a little, once in a while Sai would help her, and as for Hikaru he just kept to himself not saying a word. He hating eating dinner with everyone like this. He always felt like he was wearing this sign that said outcast across his chest.
"So Hikaru how was school? You kiss Chouko yet?"
Hikaru blushed glaring at the man, "No! Why would I do that pervert!?"
"Sai please, and Hikaru he's only messing with you. Anyway how was school?
"Nothing special. I went to class and learned useless garbage. There you know what happened. Can I eat in my room now?"
Sakura reached over flicking his cheek, which in actuality felt like a slap to the face.
"Ow! What!?" Hikaru yelled rubbing his now red cheek.
"I don't like that smart mouth of yours. Stop with that sour attitude or else."
Hikaru pouted eating his food eyes glued to his chopsticks.
"I drawled something for Big brother!" Aiko grinned breaking some of the tension.
"Oh really what did you draw for Hikaru Aiko?" Sakura smiled at her oldest daughter.
"Can I show him daddy?", Aiko asked her father.
Sai nodded smiling at her.
She got off her booster seat and grabbed the large paper from the living room. Hikaru sighed not really caring but when he saw his mom giving him a warning glare he stiffed up with a fake smile. The little raventte handed him the picture. She was fidgeting her fingers together waiting to see what her big brother thought of the drawing he made. Hikaru didn't really know what to say, it looked like it was supposed to be him and her holding hands or something. It was good for a three year old but not great. He decided to avoid another flick on the cheek from his mom by not saying his true feelings.
"Um it's great Aiko. Really good..."
Aiko smiled blushing at her brothers approval. She hugged his side, "I'm happy big brother!"
"Alright Aiko finish your meal." Her father ordered. The small ravenette nodded climbing back on her seat and finishing the rest of her meal. Hikaru set the drawing on the counter behind him and continued eating.
"So how was your day ugly?" Sai asked Sakura.
Hikaru glared at that nickname. He never got why Sai called his mother something so offensive. He also wondered why his mom never seemed bother by it. She always treats it like some cute pet name or something.
"Well there was this tough surgery, this guy got shot in the eyes with this Kunai and it was almost impossible to pull it out without him going brain dead!"
Hikaru and Aiko continued eating without the gory conversation bothering them. Sakura has gotten so used to talking about work her kids are numb from the disgusting details. Once and a while it wold get to much for Sai but the rest of the family would continued to eat as if they were talking about the weather.
"Did he make it?" Hikaru asked.
"Yup! I mange to get him out alive. Sure now he's wearing an eye patch and missing some parts of his membrane, but he'll be fine!" Sakura chirped.
"Okay that's enough for one meal." Sai groaned feeling his stomach churn from the image.
Sakura giggled, it was fun teasing Sai once in a while.
"I'm done.", Hikaru said setting down his chopsticks next to his plate, "Can I go back to my room now?"
Sakura sighed not liking how quickly Hikaru wants to be alone. But she already got him to eat dinner and even interact with his little sister a bit. She decided to let her son go for tonight.
"Yes you can go. Are you going to go to bed after you finish your homework?"
Hikaru nodded.
"Then give me and your sisters a kiss goodnight."
Hikaru groaned, "Do I have to?"
Sakura glared, "Yes."
The blonde sighed getting up he leaned over to Aiko kissing her forehead quickly, then over to Katsumi kissing the top of her head, and last his mom on the cheek.
"There. Was that hard?" Sakura smiled.
"What about me Hikaru?" Sai asked with an annoying tone to mess with his step-son.
Hikaru blushed glaring at the man sticking out his tongue, "Yeah right!" He quickly made his way to his bedroom without another word.
"I'm done too! Can I go draw daddy?", Aiko asked.
Sai turned to the girl with a grin, "Sure sweetheart, just wash up first."
The little ravenette nodded jumping out of her booster seat making her way to the bathroom. Soon after Sakura and Sai were done Sakura picked Katsumi taking her to her nursery changing her diaper and clothes, later tucking her in her crib. As soon as she came back into the kitchen she saw Sai washing the dishes. Sakura decided to start helping him out with that.
"I'm surprise you got him out of his cave." Sai said with a familiar fake smirk.
"Yeah... Why do you keep teasing him like that? He'll never warm up to you if you keep messing with him..." Sakura said with concern.
"Well I sort of gave up on that Sakura. You know he'll never accept me, at least not in till you give him answers."
"Not this again, Sai please.."
"You need to tell him about his dad, You also need to tell Naruto."
"I don't want him under Naruto's shadow. You know Naruto is known for being the hero of Konoha, it's already bad enough that people won't stop asking questions about him and Sasuke. I don't want people to treat him different just because of his dad..."
"Well hiding it from him isn't helping either."
"I know... I'll tell both of them when Naruto returns."
"How much longer is that?"
"You know Kakashi won't accept anyone else as Hokage but Naruto. He already began some of his training before he left. Once it's time I'm sure Naruto will return."
"What if Naruto never comes home."
"He'll come home... I know him, he would never abandon Konoha."
"I guess you're right about that. But in till then what about Hikaru's behavior? I feel like he's getting worse."
"Yeah... On my next day off I'll see whats going on with him..."
With that the two concentrated on finishing up the dishes and cleaning the kitchen. Soon after they both went to bed awaiting another busy day.
Next Day
Hikaru walked over to the lower shop to meet up with Chouko. Like usual he waited outside for the younger girl. When the brunette came out after two minutes she had some pretz sticks in her mouth. She smiled when she saw Hikaru.
She finished off her little snack, "Hey!" she stopped when she notice some faded bruises on the older boy, "What happened to you? Are you okay?"
Hikaru began walking towards the academy Chouko following not to far behind, "Yeah, those jerks messed with me when I made my way home. Did you grab homework before you left?"
Chouko nodded handing the small packet from her messenger bag to her friend. She knew one of the older boys he was friends with an acquaintance of hers named Shikaji. They would sometimes hang out because their parents were old teammates. His friend would often grab an extra sheet of the homework for the girl if she asked.
Hikaru grabbed it with a grin on his face, "What would I do without ya Chouko?" the blonde grabbed a pencil out of his pocket quickly filling out the questions.
"Probably be dead by your mom's hand by now!", She smiled. Chouko couldn't help but stare at amazement from how fast her older friend was able to fill out the blank spaces of the packet. She hated feeding his ego but she knew that Hikaru is freakishly smart. If only he'd stop ditching. As they approached the academy Hikaru was nearly done.
"Seriously this is the best he's got? I could probably do this in my sleep."
"Yeah, Yeah smarty pants. Look I'll see you at lunch later, 'kay?"
Hikaru waved with his right hand as he was reading the last question, "Okay.."
Chouko only rolled her eyes running towards the kunichis side of the campus. After he was finally finished he placed the papers in his backpack making his way to another boring day in his class. As he walked in he notice everyone quiet down as soon as he walked in. Sure people would often stare at him sometimes because he's the outcast of the class, but he's never had people give him this much attention to the point everyone would stop to stare.
"What? You all got a problem or something?", Hikaru said irritated.
"You're in for it now mistake!"
"Yeah you're in so much trouble."
Hikaru's eyebrows furrowed annoyed, "What are you talking about?"
Before the class could respond the door slide open behind him quickly catching the blonde's attention.
It was his sensei,"Haruno come with me."
Hikaru groaned wondering what he did now. As he followed the sensei snickers were heard from the class as they left. They made their way to the Hokage's office that was quite a long walk for the two. In the office he notice his four bullies along side their parents, while the sixth was sitting at his desk exhausted with his anbu guard Yamato giving his superior a worried look.
"Hello Hikaru." Kakashi greeted the young boy.
"Hi Uncle Kakashi..." Hikaru responded.
"Don't speak to the sixth with such a casual manner!" His sensei scolded him.
Hikaru only crossed his arms pouting.
"Its fine Giichii, I've known him personally for a while. Anyway Hikaru your classmates said that you attack them is that true?"
"No. They harassed me when I was minding my own business!" Hikaru defended himself.
"He's lying! We were only joking around and he punched me in the face!" One of the boys whined.
"I'm sorry I didn't think pushing me around and calling me names was a joke! They've been harassing me all year. I was fed up with their stupid games." The blonde crossed his arms with a scowl.
"See he admitted it Hokage! He attacked our boys!" One of the parents yelled.
Before anyone replied Sakura came inside the room, "Hikaru? Whats going on, is this the reason you called me Hokage?"
"Yes Sakura, it appears Hikaru got in a fight with some of his classmates yesterday." Kakashi explained the situation to his former student.
Sakura's eyes widen, "What? So that was a lie about you bruises last night? Hikaru whats going on with you?"
"I'll tell you whats going on with your boy! He's a delinquent!" Another parent shouted.
"Please everyone calm down." Kakashi stood trying to keep the situation from escalating.
"He's an animal attacking our boys like a savage!"
Hikaru was done with everyone pointing fingers at him, "Well if they can't take it why are they training to be shinobis!? If they can't handle me they might as well quit training!"
"Watch your mouth you mistake!" One of the parents responded quickly.
The room went silent when they realized she just called him that in front of Sakura.
"What did you just say to my son?" Sakura said fist clenched tightly holding her anger.
"Well it's true isn't it?"
"Yeah it was a mistake for him to attend this establishment!"
"It was a mistake for him to train with our kids!"
"And its a mistake for him to even be born! I mean you should of just waited in till you were married Sakura-san!"
These parents were either really stupid or really brave to give the rosette such insulting answers.
Before she could respond Hikaru finally snapped, "SHUT UP!"
Everyone stared down to the boy.
"Stop calling me that! I get it I'm a mistake okay!? So stop telling me I am!" He cried with that he ran to the window jumping out. The young blonde ran down the building using some of his chakra control to run down to the ground running away from everyone. Everyone stared at amazement seeing how the young boy was already able to accomplish such a technique.
"I've heard enough. From what I see you influenced your children to bully Hikaru. I'm ashamed that you would encourage such a thing."
The parents couldn't help but looked down feeling a little guilty from their hurtful words. Well except for one stubborn mother, "Its not our fault he's such a monster!."
That was the last straw for Sakura she punched a wall so hard it created a huge hole. Kakashi sighed shaking his head. He knew one day Sakura's violent behavior would cost him some money.
The parents froze not realizing the hell they released upon themselves, "I dare you to say that again.." She grabbed the woman's collar with one hand lifting her high in the air without a struggle. Everyone who was so fast to talk shit all of a sudden became mute.
"You assholes have been harassing my sunshine all this time!? He's only a kid, shannaro!"
The woman who was dangling in the air nodded trying to do anything to get away from this angry women. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry you're right I should of known better!"
"Damn right you should of!" She dropped the woman, "I'm glad my sunshine kicked you're kids asses! It probably whooped them into shape! Not my fault your boys are all bark and no bite!" Everyone who was against Hikaru before were huddled together nodding too afraid to stand up against this women. She turned to her son's classmates, one of them flinched and another one of them defiantly peed a little in their pants. She walked over using some of her healing chakra to examine these boys quickly.
"You're all fine! He barley gave you a proper beating! Have you boys been harassing my son!?" She demanded.
All of them nodded too scared to lie to this women.
One of them shouted in fear, "W-We started it too! We're sorry we won't do it again!"
Kakashi sighed tired from this stressful meeting, "Well looks like that's settle then...The academy will decide your punishments after school and I expect all of you to write an apology to Hikaru, including your parents. You are all dismissed.
The four boys and their parents bowed quickly leaving as if all their lives depended on it.
"You're also excused Giichii." Kakashi said to the sensei who was standing in the background the entire time.
"Thank you Hokage-sama." He bowed returning to his classroom.
Kakashi turned his attention to Sakura, " There something else we must discuss about Hikaru."
Sakura sighed almost emotionally drained from all of her anger, "What now?"
Kakashi walked away from his seat grabbing a file, "It looks like Hikaru's been ditching class this whole year."
"What!? But I saw his grades he's at the top of almost everything in his class!"
"Yes, but his attendance is extremely low. He misses at least four days worth of class each week. This isn't good Sakura."
"How come I wasn't notified about any of this."
"I assume one of the teachers neglect to tell you, I'm disappointed with the staff for that one. I'm also sorry you had to hear them call him that name Sakura. He begged me not to inform you of everyone calling him mistake."
"I can't believe this has been going on . It explains his rotten attitude. My poor sunshine..." Sakura sighed. She made her way to the window her son jumped out of, "To think all this time everyone was still treating him the same... I'm a horrible mom Kakashi-sensei..."
"No you're just going through a rough patch. Maybe you should tell him about Naruto...Or if your not ready tell him a little more than he knows at least."
Sakura smiled at her sensei. She opened the window following the same path her son took to find him.
Kakashi let out a huge sigh, "Man that was one hell of a morning.."
Yamato finally spoke through his mask, "I'll say..."
Hikaru was near the entrance to Konoha crying. He was on the stone bench hugging his knees, he hated that his mom saw all that. But what the little blonde hated the most was that he let his emotions take over like that in front of her. Earlier he tried to find way to leave the village but none of them would let him pass. For a village that wants him gone they sure won't let him leave when he wants to.
He flinched when he saw his mom sitting by his side. She looked like she was holding, wait was it what Hikaru thought it was. His eyes widen with joy when he saw his mother holding some Ichiraku ramen in to-go bowls.
"I finally found you.." She smiled.
"Why aren't you mad? I'm in trouble aren't I?"
"Oh without a question, ditching class almost everyday Hikaru? But I can sympathies with that a little. So for now let's have a treat." She handed her son his favorite ramen flavor beef.
Hikaru took it without a second thought grabbing the chop sticks from her other hand.
Before the ate they both clapped, "Let's eat!" soon after they both began slurping the ramen loudly.
"Hikaru, whats going on with you?" Sakura asked after swallowing some of the hot noodles.
Hikaru paused. He didn't know how what to say really. But after minute he thought of a question he wants to know the answer to the most.
"It's true isn't it? That I'm a big fat mistake.." Hikaru stated tears starting to come back to his eyes.
Hikaru jumped surprised when he heard his mom kicked the ground in front of them. She made a crater from her massive strength. Hikaru saw the anger and hurt in her eyes.
"M-Mom?" Hikaru asked worried.
Sakuras set her meal next to her turning over to him. She hugged him tight almost hurting him.
"I don't ever want you to call yourself that!" She trembled.
Hikaru looked down, "But its true isn't it?"
She glared letting him go gripping his shoulder, "No it isn't! Stop saying that!"
"Then why mom!? Why did dad leave!? Why aren't you with him!?" Hikaru finally snapped.
Sakura's eyes widen she sighed letting him go, "Well let me tell you a little story about your mom."
Hikaru rose an eyebrow confused.
"A long time ago when I was around your age I fell for this guy. He was handsome cool and the top of his class. Everyone wanted him including me. Later on when we all graduated we ended up on a three man squad together along with this doofus that had a crush on me." Sakura chuckled remembering the old days.
"Did you end up together then?" Hikaru asked curious.
"No way! He still didn't give me the time of day, I was lucky if he acknowledged I existed! I do remember that pitiful dork kept trying to win my attention, but I still gave him the cold shoulder. Soon after that cool boy I fell for was going to leave, but I thought if I showed him how much I loved him he'd see there was a reason to stay."
"What did he say?"
Sakura chuckled, "He called me annoying and knocked me out. I was so heart broken, I pleaded my teammate to bring him back. He gave me a smile and promised to bring back my crush."
"Was he able to?"
"No he came back badly hurt. Eventually he left too to train to become stronger. After a while I became strong too. Soon my dorky teammate came home no longer a bratty kid but now he was man. He was still a doofus but he was definitely stronger. After long battles and training I had met my old crush a couple of times but he never came home. Soon there was this final chance. One last chance to give him my very being. Show him with all my heart I loved him."
"Did he say yes then?"
Sakura shook her head, " He gave me the same response and was even harsher than his last rejection soon after my teammate finally got him to his senses. After a while I started to realize something."
"What?"
"I was never in love with that boy. Sure he was handsome and cool, but in reality he was an asshole."
Hikaru couldn't help but chuckle a little at his mothers language.
"That was when I started to see my other teammate a different way...I slowly started to see I liked him a lot. I started to find things about him more and more interesting. I started to realize this was what love is. Its supposed to warm, safe, and it brings you happiness. That doofus was your father Hikaru.."
Hikaru's eyes widen. Now he wanted to know who his moms old teammates were. But knowing her it wouldn't be easy to figure out.
"After a while your father decided to leave but... I couldn't let him go without telling him my feelings.. I knew I would regret it forever if I didn't. After I told him he gave me a sweet kiss and a heartfelt goodbye. That was when he gave you to me."
"Wh-what?" Hikaru asked shocked.
"When I found out I was going to have you a lot of people said I shouldn't, it wasn't smart. I told them to screw themselves I want this kid! The reason me and your father aren't together is because he didn't love me like I loved him. I loved him so much... And when I was going to have you, I never saw you as a mistake..."
"M-Mom..?"
She hugged him again, "You're a gift Hikaru, my wonderful gift that I love dearly!"
He let his tears fall, "M-mom!" He began to cry holding her close.
The two sat there hugging each other close.
"I never want you to call yourself a mistake again! And don't let those bastards get in your head, you're smarter than them. For gods sake you're skipping school and you're still at the top of your class!"
He laughed still crying, "Kay.."
He was glad he knew a little more about his dad. It didn't lessen his curiosity though. Who the hell is he?
To Be Continued...

In the Gaiden Sakura's character development is shattered completely. Now she acts like a house wife and to make it worse she doesn't know a god damn thing about her husband. The fact that her own daughter questions if she's her real mother is low isn't it?
