Rise of Shinobi

Chapter 9

"Goodmorning, sunflower!" said a girl with red glasses, staring at me from the chair where she was seated.

"Wha-who are you? Where am I?" I asked.

"Calm down" she started, "You probably don't remember me but I'm Sarada." she smiled. "We used to play a lot when you were younger."

"Play? I don't remember that. Hell, I don't remember anything you said you know!" I replied, remembering the reason I was at the hospital. "Sarada, tell the doctor that I need to go."

"I don't think that's a good idea. Mama won't let you go in  your current state unless your father says so." she explained in a serious tone.

"My father?"

Sarada sighed, "Your father is the Hokage. His name is Uzumaki Naruto. You also have a mother, and a brother." she blushed a little bit. "Your brother's name is Boruto, the one who questioned you and Takashi yesterday when you arrived."

"Oh...and my mother?"

"She's Hyuga Hinata. You look almost like her, except for the eyes and your marks." She replied with a warm smile, "We've all missed you Hima. Many things happened when you were gone."

"Well, well, how's Konoha's sunflower today?" said a pink haired woman. "Does my little Sarada treated you well?"

"I...yes...you are Sakura right?"

"Yes, I'm Sarada's mother. Now, let me check you up for a moment and then Sarada will show you the village. Is that okay?" she said while preparing some papers.

"Hai!"

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

"Brother, have you heard the rumors?" A young red headed girl with green eyes asked while eating her breakfast.

"Hn."

"Brother..." she insisted.

"Father hasn't said anything so it's not true." I said trying to not sound too harsh to her. During 7 years I have been hearing every kind of rumors about her that ended up being lies,
and took away any chance of forgiving myself for what I did.

"He left early for a meeting with the Kages. Maybe we'll have some information about it later, Hikaru. Who knows if-."

"Hinoide..." I cut off her speech and urged her to continue eating.

"Hikaru..." She replied annoyed.

"Kids! I don't want any fights today.." our mother said from the kitchen. "How about you go and visit your aunt Temari today? You can catch up with Shikadai and have fun before training."

"Hai" We replied.

Once we were walking to Shikadai's house, I noticed something strange. I looked to see my sister who was walking beside me and managed to give me an angry face.

"You know it's not your fault. You were just kids when it happened."

"Hinoide stop." I replied but she stepped in front of me and continued her rant.

"No YOU stop! Since that day you hanged and became more cold and stoic with everyone. I know that she was your friend back then but it's not your fault. And if the rumors are right, then you have hope, we just have to wait for dad to come back and-" she stopped to stare at something that was behind me. I turned around and saw that Sarada was walking towards us with a girl who looked like....

"It's that..?" Hinoide asked but I couldn't say a word to her because I was atonished for what I was looking. I swear that it was an older version of Himawari who was walking beside Sarada.

"Himawari, I want you to re-meet someone.." said Sarada, "This is Sabaku no Hikaru and she's Sabaku no Hinoide. As you can see they're twins." she said while I tried my best to copy my father's stoic stare to hide my atonishment in front of her. Himawari indeed was...different. Her hair grew up to her waist, her yellow shirt, brown short pants, her long black socks, her face...her eyes. She definetly was a beauty.

"You..." She said, bringing me back to reality, "I don't remember you very well but...have we meet somewhere?" she asked looking cautiously at me. I got surprised, she doesn't remember me. How?! So this means that she doesn't know who I am? What happened to us? How we spent time together?!

"Hn." I replied. I coudln't believe it. Seven years since that stupid day, begging kami to bring her back to me to redeem myself and now I get this?!?
