Apart Of Me

Chapter Two

"I still don't get it!" a little girl stated as she and a few other kids sat with Kyosuke as they ate their lunches, "how is it, you're always passing every exam, when you never study? If I tried that, I would flunk out of here and my father would kill me!" said as she glared at Kyosuke who just smiled and continued to eat his sandwich.

"What can I say; my mother's a genius, so that's where I get it from." He smiled.

"But what about your dad? He doesn't live with you and your mom is he a genius too?" a brown haired boy asked as he closed his lunch box.

"I don't know, I don't really remember him, let alone know him, so cant say he's a genius." He said smiling.

"Kyosuke that gets on my nerves!" the girl shouted. "That smile, no one smiles that much, but you smile at the most inappropriate times." she shouted once again.

"Ya, I've noticed that too, like during taijutsu class, even when you get beat to a pulp you stand and smile," a black haired boy said, "that's really creepy." He said.

"Well, I guess," for once he looked serious, "I guess that I'm just a happy person!" he said smiling as he rubbed the back of his head. All the kids nearly had a heart attack as they fell on their backs.

"WHAT!" the girl shouted as she stood and took Kyosuke by the collar of his shirt and began shouting at him and shaking him. The whole time Kyosuke just smiled at her.

"I guess," The brown haired boy looked to the other boy, "a serious Kyosuke would be trouble, smiling really suits him, have you ever seen his mom smile? That's where he gets his smile from." he said as they watched the girl shout at their friend.

"A smiling Kyosuke is bad enough, because he gets into too much trouble with it; I think it would be hell if he was actually serious." The other said as they smiled.

"Migumi, push as much chakra into your hands, threw the tips of your fingers, and into the body of the fish, don't worry its dead so it won't hurt it." Sakura smiled as she helped a young boy who was having trouble controlling his healing chakra.

"Thank you Sakura-sensei." he smiled as he followed her advice, as sure enough it worked and the fish came back to life, everyone else in the room awed as they clapped.

"Well done Migumi, everyone take your seats," Sakura asked as she placed the fish back into a tank. From the time she came to Kirigakure Sakura has been the head medic teacher and she loves her job, all the students that she has taught respond well to her teachings and have all gone to bigger and better things.

"Okay, you've all been my students for the past three years, and well graduation is near, now tell me what is the most important thing you can do for your team?" she asked.

"Sensei?" A girl raised her hand, her long red hair tied up in a ponytail, "I think the most important thing that I could do for my team is to believe in them, that all, to believe that even though there will be casualties, and even if it's a suicide mission, the best we can do besides healing them or backing them up, is to believe in them, and help them get home to their families safe." she said with a shy voice.

"That's right my dear, being a medic doesn't mean that we just stand there healing, we have to help, and another form of helping in combat is to believe in those that you have sworn your life to protect." Sakura said as she smiled. Everyone else nodded; "I think you all are ready to become active medics for your village." she smiled.

Kyosuke walked down the main street, school had let out and a lot of the parents where out with their children.

Nothing really bothers Kyosuke too much, he takes everything, and instead of getting railed up he can see threw the bad and see the good. That's just the way he is, they way Sakura had raised him.

But during lunch he noticed something, in his house there is no photographs of his father, but shouldn't there be some? It's not like his mother regrets having a baby with his father right? So why isn't their anything of his father's in the house, Sakura said that they where in contact with one another, if they where shouldn't their bet letters? Why is it he knows nothing about his father, he barley remembers anything, like any other person you can't remember anything from when you where a baby.

'I do wish that I could remember, anything at all would be nice.' he smiled as he continued to walk home.

"Home!!" he shouted as he ran into the house and took off his shoes, he noticed that there were an extra pair of sandals in the mud room, and a bag. "Mom?"

"In the den Kyosuke," her voice wasn't as happy as it normal was it sounded like she was crying; "Come here please Kyosuke." he followed his mother's orders and walked to where she said she was.

'Why do I feel so scared all of a sudden?' He walked into the den and stood in the door way. As he thought his mother was sitting on their red couch crying.

"Sakura-san," Kyosuke looked up at the man who was talking, he was really tall, and had big bushy eyebrows. "Hokage send her love and regret for not contacting you earlier." He said as he bowed to Sakura.

"Mom, what's wrong?" he asked, he didn't mind the man in the room; his mother seemed to know him so he wasn't worried.

"My, my mother has died." she said threw tears, "she had cancer and well, she didn't make it." she cried.

"What's cancer?" he asked, 'my grandmother died, I didn't even get to meet her.' just then he felt a hand on his raven head, he looked up and saw the man smiling down at him.

"It means she got sick and couldn't get better, Kyosuke-san." he smiled, for some wired reason his teeth sparkled as he smiled, Kyosuke couldn't help but shiver.

'Wired, I know that mom said my name but why is he talking to me like he knows me?'

"Well Sakura-san I will be heading back to Konohagakure," he said bowing once more than he tuned to Kyosuke and smiled once more, "later Kyosuke-kun." he smiled once more as he left.

When the man left Kyosuke and Sakura stayed quiet for a wile, silence isn't most becoming in sad situations like these. Kyosuke became uncomfortable and started to fight what could he say or do, so he just turned and began to walk away.

"I'm going to do my home work." he said hoping she would answer.

"okay, are you going to eat dinner?" she asked as she looked at her son's back, her eyes still full of fresh tears.

"Na I don't think so." he said as he started to walk to his room, Sakura listened to his steps, even when he got into his room and shut to door she could still hear him walking.

'I have to do it, one visit that's all, father must be devastated, but I'm too afraid that he will see Kyosuke, why can't I be stronger?'

Kyosuke was tucked in he sheets, facing the window, he loved the part of town that he lived in, and not many lights are on so he can see the moon form his bed. He loves to watch the stars and the moon, his name Kyosuke is derived from the term Kyohaku, or star gazer, his mother had a wired way with names, it was poetic of sorts.

'I wonder how she is feeling?' he placed his left arm under his pillow and snuggled more into his bed, for some reason it just wasn't comfortable. He tried to close his eyes and let sleep take him, but it just wouldn't work. Then the chakra signature of another person appeared in his room, he knew it all to well, his mother.

He felt the bed dip where she sat down, her hand ran threw his hair, soon she lied down next to him, wrapping her rams around him and hugging him. They stayed like that for a wile, Kyosuke normally liked it when they snuggle, it reminds him of when he was younger, when it was winter he would wake up in the middle of the night get into her bed and snuggle in her warmth embrace.

"your grandfather is still alive," her voice was hushed and still stung with sadness, "he is also sick, he needs help planning the funeral so," she kissed the back of his head, "we're going to have to go back to Konohagakure, just for a few days, do you mind?" she asked. Kyosuke muffled a no, as Sakura tightened her hold on him, as he finally found sleep.

Can you guess you it was that told Sakura that her mother died?
