Bring Sasuke back!

Hatsumi hugged her legs to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. "It was just me and a man. We were talking, but he wouldn't answer my questions. That's all."

 

"What did he look like?"Sasuke asked

"Hinata-chan,breakfast is ready!"Naruto shouted

 

"Tall." Hatsumi said plainly. "I couldn't see his face. He had black hair and he was wearing a robe-ish cloak with clouds on it. He was very gentle when he picked me up and his voice was soft." She closed her eyes and exhaled. "Do you think I can meet him?"

Hinata had woken and changed and she went to join Naruto. "You made breakfast?"

 

"Yeah,something called a pancake with..'maple syrup'..Tenten-san taught me a long time ago,but I never got to make them!"Naruto said.

"Never..''Sasuke muttered,knowing who she was speaking of.

 

Hatsumi looked back at Sasuke. "Why not?"

Hinata smiled. "It smells good."

 

"Because he's your uncle,and he killed my entire family except Rukia..''Sasuke said,getting up and grabbing her hand."..your visions come true,so we're going home..''

Naruto quickly made her a plate with two pancakes covered in butter and maple syrup.He set the fork and knife down beside the plate."Try it!"he said excitedly.

 

Hatsumi dug her feet into the ground. "But I've got to practice."

Hinata giggled at Naruto's enthusiasm. She cut the pancakes and tried a piece. A bit surprised that he hadn't burnt them, she smiled and nodded to Naruto, showing that they were good.

 

"Your going home,forget the challenge Hatsumi!"Sasuke said,tugging her harder.

Naruto rubbed his cheek against hers."Im glad you like them..''he smiled.

 

Hatsumi gave in but looked over her shoulder, hoping that she might see the man from her dream. It must be someone different... It has to be someone different. The one in my dream was kind... Daddy's wrong. She thought stubbornly. I'm going to look for him later... as soon as I get the chance.

"Aren't you going to have some?" Hinata asked.

 

Naruto shook his head."No,this is just for you..''he said,then got behind her chair and gave her a sensual massage.

Sasuke had dragged Hatsumi home and set her at the table."Dont ever hesitate again..understand?'' he asked her

 

Hatusmi folded her arms. "They're my dreams." She muttered, though she knew that they were more than that. She glared at Michiko. "You told didn't you?"

Michiko looked down guiltily and nodded.

Sakura set a plate in front of Michiko and Hatsumi, and then put one at Sasuke's place.

Rukia came in looking tired and worn. She greeted everyone and set her pack by the door.

Michiko quickly went over to Rukia and bombarded her with questions.

Rukia smoothed her hair. "I'll answer all those after I eat, okay?"

Hinata sighed happily, but then got a thought. "Did you do something wrong?"

 

"..I shouldnt have pressured you into..pleasing me..im sorry..''Naruto apologized.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and ate hurriedly.

 

Sakura fixed a plate for Rukia. "She was quite worried about you."

"I was called out early." Rukia lied.

Hatsumi looked out the window. I wonder if he could help me with the jutsu... She mused.

Sakura sat with Rukia and Michiko. "Is there anything else you have to do today?"

"I don't think so." Rukia replied.

Hinata lowered her eyes, but then turned to Naruto, smiling gently. "It's okay."

 

Sasuke finished and watched Rukia from the corner of his eye.

"No..its not,I want to make it up to you..''Naruto said.

 

Hatsumi looked at Rukia. "If you're not busy, Rukia-san, could you help me with something?"

"What is it?" Rukia asked.

"I want to do my hair in a braid, but I can't do it by myself." Hatsumi smiled.

"Of course." Rukia returned Hatsumi's smile.

"Do mine too!" Michiko grinned.

Hatsumi looked at Michiko. "You can already do it by yourself. Find something else to do."

"I don't mind, it Hatsumi." Rukia said.

"But-" Hatsumi sighed. "Fine."

"You've made me happy with just this." Hinata said.

 

Sasuke got up and stood beside Sakura as the kids began talking."..We raised quite a little brat,didnt we?"he asked her silently.

"...Im a bad person..''Naruto released her and headed out the door,feeling that Hinata was just lying to make him feel better.

 

"She has her mind set on something, Sasuke." Sakura replied. "Don't you understand?"

Hinata sighed quietly. He really feels bad about this. She walked out to Naruto. "Today's your first day, you should be happy."

 

Naruto folded his arms."..But..I took advantage of you..''he mumbled

"Yeah..but I still dont like her attitude..''Sasuke responded silently

 

"Then help her." Sakura said. "You know what it is, so do something about it."

Hinata wrapped her arms around Naruto from behind and rested her head on his shoulder. "You're you and I love you. Don't worry about it."

 

Naruto just stood there silently,taking her words in."..Thanks..''he muttered

"..Answer me this,why is it always me?..I dont see you doing anything to help her..''Sasuke muttered.
