Author's note: I do not own Naruto.
A Recall of the Past
It was dismissal, Naruto heard a very pleasant music. It was somewhat coming from the woods. Curious, he followed the music. Reaching his destination, he was surprised to see that Kai was the one creating the music. He was playing a flute. Kai suddenly stopped upon knowing his presence. "Naruto-san" He acknowledge the dazed Naruto.
"Kai! What are you doing here?"
"I was playing with my flute. Did you like it anyway?"
"No, I do not like it. I love it. It's the most awesome music I've ever heard!"
"Arigatou…Naruto-san…I'm happy that you appreciate my playing." Kai said with one of his charming smiles.
"Where did you get the flute anyway?" Naruto asked him.
"I got this flute from my parents. Isn't it beautiful?" He asked holding the flute up.
"Yes!" Naruto said with his foxy grin.
"Anou sa! Where are your parents anyway?"
"They died when I was five." He said in a very quiet voice. But a sad smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry.."
"No, It's okay…"
"Would you…would you mind talking about them?"
"Mm. I'm always happy to talk about them." And Kai began to tell about his life.
Kai belongs to a well-known family in Konoha. The kashiwazaki's. They call their selves the "Master of Disguise" because before they trust strangers, they disguise their selves as the opposite sex of that person. But a member of the clan was very different from the rest. He was Kashiwazaki Fujisawa. He jas no ability of disguising which was rather strange because he was a Kashiwazaki. Instead, he has this amazing ability in using his chakra. He can make an electricity ball by using the right amount of chakra in his hands. He mastered different techniques that involved electricity. He was called as "King of Electricity and thunder" because of his abilities. Even though, he was very different from the rest, he was loved and accepted by them.
He met a girl and he instantly married her. She was named Kashiwazaki Harue after their wedding. His family never disagreed to the two's love. They very well supported them. Harue was not at all an ordinary woman. She has her own techniques that everyone can envy. She was called "Master of Ninjutsu" because of her mastering of almost every ninjutsu that was created. They very in loved with each other. The Kashiwazaki's did not contradict well because they have this law that "He shall be the one that will choose his partner in life. Freedom is given to you. Choose whom you want to marry for your mind cannot defeat your heart."
After a few years of marriage, Harue finally gave birth to a child. They were very fond of their child that they lavished the child expensive gifts and showered the child with love. They taught the child with everything they knew, from the use of basic Taijutsu to the use of ninjutsu. Electric ability was also taught. Disguising was also t aught. The child had everything. He was loved and cared by all.
A war in Konoha ended the happiness of the family. His parents decided to fight for Konoha. They wanted to protect the village, their family and their only child. It was night when the enemies attacked Konoha. Fujisawa and Harue awakened the two old kashiwazaki and asked them to take care of their child and love him just as they do now. Fujisawa had his eyes closed but tears were falling down his cheeks.
"If we don't come back, give him this flute and tell him to play it whenever he feels empty and lonely. He will not feel alone. Please" Harue said while handing the flute to her father-in-law.
"Don't say that! Promise us that you'll come back! Promise us!"
"Father! This is no time for an argument! Just take care of him!"
"No! You listen to me! Your child is only 5! How can he understand what's going n around here!"
Thus, their argument started. The child suddenly woke up from hearing the noise.
"Grandpa, What's happening?" He was wondering why things had been packed already and that his parents were wearing fighting gears.
"Kai! Go with your grandparents!" his father ordered him. "Mother, what's happening?"
"Just follow your father!" his mother said with a tone like his father's.
"But I don't wanna leave you!" he said hugging the legs of his parents. Fujisawa kicked his child to his father and again ordered him to go. A mob of ninjas were approching their area. "They're her!" Harue said in a very alarmed tone. She then turned to hug Kai and told him how much they love him. Always.
It was then that Kai with his grandparents escaped and the lovers stayed and fought. There were so many of them that Fujisawa decided to use his most ultimate technique. "Goodbye…Kai…" his last words as the house exploded due to the high voltage of electricity used. Kai and the old man and woman just watched from afar the unfortunate event that happened. Kashwazaki Fujisawa and Harue were dead.
"Tousan…kaasan…..Sayoonara…Aishteru" Kai said as tears rolled form his eyes. His grandparents cried with their knees on the damp earth. "We promise to take care of your child. We will not let anyone harm him. We promise!" His grandpa said between sobs.
"The war ended but I still remember their faces before they died." Kai said with that sad smile again.
"I'm jealous of you you know.." Naruto said his eyes looking at the clouds above.
:Eh! Nande!"
"You had a very loving family even if you only stayed with them for a little time. I wish I did."
"It doesn't mean that if you don't have parents, you will feel not loved and wanted anymore. There are many who cares for you." Kai explained to him gently.
"Really!" Kai said turning to face Kai.
"Of course. We do care for you."
"Anou sa! Arigatou for saying those words! You make me feel great! Arigatou Kai!" naruto said in a very foxy grin that made Kai laugh and blush at the same time. And his reddening doubled when Naruto hugged him. Tight. Naruto noticed his face and teased him tomato-face. From that day, they became closer to each other. A beautiful bond of friendship was made between the two.
"I hope this lasts…." Kai whispered to his self.
