(A/N:Another chapter up! Give me a whoop whoop! Haha...that sounded lame. Thank you everyone for the reviews of chapter 19. I forgot to type them down. I'm really happy people are reviewing. Also, thank you to the reviewers who reviews chapter 20. It's...sooo...hot...dying...uggh...here's another chapter. Hope you like it.)

Names:

The Queen-Reiko

The King-Kira

(Just to let people know so they won't be confused.)

Playback:

"...what? They left without saying goodbye?" Kiba whispered.

"..."

"Why? Why don't they say goodbye? Why do they have to leave today? Tomorrow is the Graduation exams!"

"...indeed. It's not like them to leave on short notice without saying goodbye."

"Not even a kiss either!"

"...idiot."

"SHUT UP!"

Playback Ends:

--------------------------------

At the castle...in the royal dining hall...

Everybody ate dinner without saying a word.

The Queen broke the silence. "I-It's nice to have the family altogether for dinner again."

"Mmmhmm. Yeah. Whatever." Sakura just kept on eating, not even looking up at her mom.

"What she said." Hinata, also, kept on eating.

The King looked at his wife, with a worried look on his face.

"I'm done. I'm going to excuse myself now." Sakura stood up and walked back to her room.

"I, too, shall excuse myself." Hinata walked back to her room.

"This is horrible! What happened to them? What happened to my two little girls who would send the whole kingdom muffin baskets, when salmon was for dinner?" The king asked.

"Kira! Those ninjas from Konoha have contaminated our sweet little daughters."The Queen shouted to the King.

"I'm going to have another talk with Sakura. Honey, talk to Hinata please."

"With all due respect. I'll be excused then. I'll see you in our room, Reiko." Kira got up and left the dining hall.

"I'll be excused too." Reiko got up too and left the dining hall.

---------------------------------

Sakura's room...

I can't believe my parents don't know that they are the reason that I wanted to run away...ARGGGHGGHGH! Sakura thought, hitting her head with her pillow.

"Pillow's too soft! 100 cotton..." Sakura threw it against the door.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Sakura asked.

"It's me, sweetie. May I come in?" The Queen replied.

"Sure. Why not? There's nothing else to do here anyway."

The Queen opened the door.

"May I sit with you?" Reiko, the queen, asked.

"Go ahead, Reiko." Sakura looked out the window.

What impudence! Has she lost her manners? Calling her mom by her first name! Sakura! What happened to you! Reiko thought.

"Sakura, honey. Please, tell me. Why did you run away?" She stroked her daughter's hair.

Sakura flicked her hand away. I can't believe she doesn't know why I ran away!

"I don't know Reiko. Why did I run away?" Sakura smiled.

"Please! Honey! Don't act like that! I never raised you to be like this!"

Sakura started to laugh.

"Hahaha...hahaha...hahaha that's very funny."

"Why are you laughing, Sakura?"

"I'm laughing at the sentence you just said. 'I never raised you to be like this!' When did you ever spend anytime with me!"

"I spend a lot of time with yo-"

"Shut up! You never really cared. You left me with the maids when I was two. When it was my birthday, you never came! I always had a small party with Hinata and the maids that took care of me! I left because I was in my room! Alone! Always! I look outside the window and see children. Their moms playing with them. Teaching them. Doing everything with them. You never did anything with me! You never played with me or taught me anything. That's why I ran away! I find a life better than this...this...trash!" Sakura screamed.

Reiko just stared at her daughter, eyes widened.

"I-I didn't know you felt that way...I thought I was being a great mother...I guess I was just wrong."

"...whatever. You can't expect to just change my mind about you."

"I got an idea. Let's all go to a hot springs, like a family vacation. We can spend time with each other there."

"Do whatever you wish." Sakura closed her eyes and lied down on bed.

"Yes...that's a great idea! I'll make preparations!" the Queen ran out of her room.

"Family vacation? Great..." Sakura drifted off to sleep.

---------------------------------

Hinata's room...

"Hinata? May I come on, darling?" Kira, the king, knocked on her door."

"Go ahead. It's unlocked." Hinata replied.

Kira opened the door, saw Hinata sitting on a chair, combing her hair on the make-up table.

"Are you still mad, Hinata?"

"Who wouldn't?"

"...uh..I still don't know why you ran away...can you tell me? It's ok if you don't want to tell me.."

Hinata stopped combing her hair and sighed.

"You."

"Excuse me?"

"You were the cause. I ran away because of...you."

"Me? How? I gave you everything you ever wanted!"

"That's funny! You gave me everything except the thing I needed the most."

"What's that dear?"

"I can't believe you don't know. The thing I need most is...love. You were always busy and always away! I never got to see you! Ever since I was 2, someone else always taught me proper etiquette, the alphabet, and numbers and everything! But the person I always wanted to teach me these things...was you."

"I-I'm sorry Hinata. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just..."

"Forget about it."

"H-How about I take the whole family to a hot springs? Like a family..family vacation! Hahaha. You would like that very much wouldn't you? It's decided then! I shall make preparations!" Kira ran out of Hinata's room.

"...okkaayy..." Hinata continued brushing her hair.

------------------------------------

"Honey!" Kira ran towards his wife.

"Darling!" Reiko ran towards her husband.

"I got an idea! Let's go to a hot springs for a family vacation!" They said together, the sametime.

"Wow that was your idea! Me too!" Reiko squealed.

"That's so cool! Let's hurry and prepare!"

-----------------------------------

2 days later...

"Pack your bags darling! We're going in a hour!" Reiko shouted happily, opening Sakura's door.

"B-Be quiet...I...need to...sleep..." Sakura covered her head with her blanket.

"Get ready this instant! A carriage is going to take us to the Mizu Hot Springs." Reiko then went.

"Uggh...what time is it? WHAT! 1:32 P.M.! HOLY!" Sakura ran up, changed, brush her teeth, combed her hair, and ran to get breakfast.

----------------------------------

Dining Hall...

"I'm here!" Sakura ran to her seat, panting.

"Finally! You sleep way too long. We're already eating lunch already." Hinata ate her Sandwich.

"Well sorry! I stayed up really late last night thinking about something." Sakura sat down and started eating.

"Thinking about what? Or...thinking about who?" Hinata smirked.

"W-What are you talking about?

"I think you know what I'm talking about." Hinata smiled.

"Hn."

"Don't you give me that silent treatment little missy!"

"Silent treatment? I thought the silent treatment is when they ignore you, and they don't say anything." Kira stated.

"This is a different kind of treatment, Kira." Sakura ate.

"Yes, Kira. We learned this kind of treatment at Konoha." Hinata scoffed.

"Aren't you supposed to call me Father?"

"Well, the way you take care of us isn't what a father would do, so you don't earn that name." Hinata continued eating her sandwich.

Their butler came and whispered to Reiko. "The carriage is here. Should I bring your luggage in the carriage?"

"Yes." Reiko whispered back.

"Hurry and finish eating. The carriage is here." Reiko announced.

Everybody finished eating and walked into the carriage.

"How long is it going to take?" Hinata asked.

"About an hour or two." Kira replied.

"What am I suppose to do during that time?" Sakura whined.

"Find something to do sweetheart."

"Whatever Reiko." Sakura looked away.

"Why is she calling you by your first name?" Kira whispered to his wife.

"I don't know...she's mad at me right now because I didn't spend a lot of time with her when she was little." Reiko whispered back.

"Samething with Hinata! She was mad at me for not loving her when she was little." Kira whispered.

"Stop whispering you guys. I know what your talking about. I'm not deaf." Sakura blew a bubble from her bubblegum.

"Geh.."

---------------------------------

Mizu Hot Springs...

"Welcome to Mizu Hot Springs! How can I help you?" the lady behind the counter asked.

"Please give me your two best rooms." Reiko replied.

"That would be...$5000. Including buffet and massage."

"Of course." Reiko gave her the money. The lady gave Reiko the keys.

"Sakura and Hinata will have one room and your father and I will have another room." Reiko gave Sakura the key.

As they were walking they heard two familiar voices.

"Sakura? Hinata?" Neji and Kiba asked.

Sakura and Hinata looked over to see Neji, Kiba, and the whole ninja academy standing there.

"Neji..." Sakura whispered.

"Kiba..."Hinata mumbled.

(A/N:Another chapter done! Cliffhanger! Bwahaha! I'm evil! : Oh my gosh...cousin being annoying. Kept on calling me and my sister a he. I told him 'I'm a she! Your a he!' Then he goes 'No I'm a she! You are a he!' Sheesh...well thank you for reading! Please review!)
