Not Understanding
The next day they bought the whole circus and everything was packing up for the trip.
"I can't believe they bought the whole circus," Kiba said.
"Tell me something I don't know," Naruto responded.
Hikaru found where Chichi and Chamu were at and look at them.
He walked up to Chamu with an apple. "Hungry?" Hikaru asked.
Chamu got up and roared at Hikaru and went to attack. Naruto made grab for Hikaru and pulled him away from Chamu.
Michiro dealt with the ring master about it.
"Hey are you alright?" Naruto asked.
Hikaru push Naruto back and ran off past Hinata Kiba and Akamaru.
"Hey Kiba why don't we allow Akamaru hang around Hikaru for a bit," Naruto said.
"As long as he doesn't try and buy Akamaru and he agrees, then that's okay with me," Kiba said.
Akamaru jumped off and went toward Hikaru.
"I take that as a yes," Naruto said.
The next day the caravan was larger with the circus animals as they headed off.
They stopped at another town for something else.
The ship taking everyone to the land of moon was delayed by a storm so Michiro took the chance to go somewhere he knew in the town.
"Naruto you and Kiba go with the prince to where he's going," Kakashi said, "Hinata and I will take care of things here. And Hikaru seemed to be getting along with Akamaru."
"Right," Naruto and Kiba responded.
The cart was full of flowers so Akamaru stayed with Kiba as he and Naruto escorted them while Kakashi and Hinata help with the luggage.
At the house Michiro took the flowers and came to the house where a woman was working.
"How wonderful is that to see you Amayo," Michiro greeted the woman known as Amayo.
Amayo dropped her stuff and instead of going to Michiro she walked strait to Hikaru.
"Hikaru is that you?" Amayo asked.
"Father where are we going?" Hikaru asked.
"Why to visit your mother of course," Michiro said.
"What?" Hikaru responded.
"Oh Hikaru," Amayo said hugging him.
"So that must be Hikaru's mother," Kiba said.
"That means she's the prince's wife," Naruto responded.
"Look at you Hikaru, you've grown," Amayo said breaking the hug making Hikaru blushed.
Michiro tried to get her attention with flowers.
"Who are you?" Amayo asked.
"How can you say that Amayo? Don't you recognize me?" Michiro asked.
"Michiro?" Amayo asked.
"Its me," Michiro said.
"No it can't be, you're too fat," Amayo said.
"Well its because of you," Michiro said, "Ever since you left me eating is the only thing that filled my loneliness."
Amayo let Michiro in as he explained his side of the story. Hikaru was outside with Kiba and Akamaru as Naruto was inside with them.
"Please come home?" Michiro asked.
"No my only regrets is Hikaru, if I haven't sign that stupid wedding contract, Hikaru would be here with me," Amayo said.
"Why do you hate me so much Amayo?" Michiro asked, "I gave you everything you wanted didn't I?"
"You never gave me the most important thing," Amayo said.
"How about a new palace a pink one," Michiro said thinking that was it.
"No!" Amayo answered.
"Then how about a velvet for your parents, that way they can live with us," Michiro said as they nodded yes but apparently that wasn't it.
"I'll give you anything you want so please come live with me," Michiro begged.
Amayo just slapped him in response. Naruto didn't react considering all it was a slap and Michiro still didn't understand.
"You haven't change at all, even now you don't understand what really matters," Amayo said.
They were getting ready to head back but Naruto stayed behind for a bit.
"Amayo, listen it seems Michiro doesn't understand because he was raised where everything was given to him," Naruto said, "And it seems Hikaru is the same way, but I think all they need is the push to the right direction."
"I understand, but its pointless of telling them, unless they understand it themselves," Amayo said, "Please protect them both."
"I will and so will my team," Naruto said.
"Come on Naruto," Kiba shouted, "Kakashi-sensei and Hinata are waiting."
"Right, coming," Naruto said leaving.
They headed back to the docks. Once there Michiro was confuse of what Amayo want.
The captain talked to Michiro about the plans. Hikaro went back to playing his game.
"They didn't know what Hikaro's mom wanted?" Hinata asked.
"No, and its only because they don't understand," Naruto said.
"Makes sense considering what we heard how they were raised," Kiba said.
They had some ramen before Hinata and Kiba went to check on the loading. Akamaru hanged around a bit longer to eat his food.
"Is that good?" Hikaro asked Naruto.
"Huh? Are you talking about the ramen?" Naruto responded, "Yeah its not a fancy but its good."
"That dog seem friendly," Hikaro said.
"Oh Akamaru, yeah he's really great to have around, if he knows you're not the enemy," Naruto said.
"You should be my basal and I want that dog," Hikaro said, "I'll give you anything for it."
"Whoa hold on a second. One Akamaru isn't my dog, in fact he's not a pet, he's Kiba partner, and they need each other for their combination, which our squad needs for our combinations," Naruto said, "Two I'm not going to leave the life I have."
"But I can give you anything and your friends can come to stay as well," Hikaro said, "And that Kiba guy can stay with us too."
"My answer is no," Naruto said, "Listen and take my advise, you can't buy everything and you can't bribe anyone to do what you want them to do."
Hikari shot his arrow at Naruto but he dodge the attack easily. "Your aim maybe as good as mine, but my skills are a lot better than yours," Naruto said, "Things don't always go your own way, and there's time where you might have to deal with things on your own. But unless you understand what it truly means then you can't get everything to go your way."
Akamaru barked in agreement to Naruto.
"Come on Akamaru lets go check on the others now that we're done," Naruto said.
A/N: I'm improvising with scenes. I thought it would be better when Naruto gives his speech to Hikaro. Next one will be Naruto Hinata Kiba and Akamaru agrees to be Hikaro's friends after Hikaro starts learning what Naruto means. I won't have 'Next Time' but at least I can give you an idea what might come next.
