'That was my second fight, and it's only going to get worse from now on' Kakashi looked up at the sky; the sun shone so brightly, so he used his hand to shield his eyes. "And I don't know what they want from ," He said absent-mindedly.
"KAKASHI!!!, HIBIKI!!!"
They both turned around and saw the crowd cheering for them.
"YOU BOTH DID GREAT, THAT WAS AWESO, WHY NOT CO LET'S TREAT YOU!!"
They were all saying stuff so randomly that Kakashi could barely understand them, but at least now the girls noticed him. Kakashi turned to walk to them, but his body was too heavy to move. He turned to Hibiki and saw he was facing the sa difficulty.
Kakashi's breathing beca heavy as he fell into the water.
# HIBIKI'S FLASHBACK
"I told you, I'm not ready to take care of a child!"
"What the hell are you saying!?. He's your son, our son, what kind of mother wouldn't want to take care of her child?!"
"He's not even our son to begin with!?"
"And so?!, We promised to take care of him. So why the sudden change of heart!?"
"Can't you see?, Our lives have been harder since he ca into our ho!. Before then, we were happy, but now... I can't take it anymore. I'm leaving!"
"Where do you think you're going?!"
"Anywhere!, Anywhere away from you, you can keep the child if you want. I can't take it anymore"
A little boy sat silently on the stairway as he listened to his parents argue, it wasn't the first ti it was happening, it was sothing that happened almost all the ti. They never argued in front of him, instead, they went into the kitchen, but, he could still hear them from his room.
Each ti they argue, he cos out of his room, sits on the stairway and listens to them.
His mother storms out of the kitchen, barely paying any attention to him, soon his father cos out and stops by the door as he sees him. His father's eyes widened with shock as he asked.
"Henry, how much did you hear?"
The boy didn't reply, he just sat on the stairs with his face towards the floor. His father kneeled in front of him and patted his head.
"Don't think too much about it, your mom is just angry, okay?"
"Why?. Why did you lie to ?" Henry asked as he covered his face with his hands. "I thought you loved , if she isn't my real mother, does that an you're not my real father?"
His father was taken aback by his questions, in that mont, the woman who had pretended to be his mother carried her luggage and walked past them without saying a word.
.
.
.
"I promise. I'll be back in three days, or maybe sooner and when I do, you'll et your mother" His father said and waved before walking away.
Henry sat in the front yard as he watched his father leave, but he didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say, but he was looking forward to seeing his real mother.
.
.
.
"His body was found frozen, and it was known that soone killed him, but no one knew who"
It's only been a day since his father left when he heard a knock on the door, Henry hurriedly answered and opened the door expecting to see his father and his real mother but he opened the door to see a lady in a suit accompanied by a middle-aged man in the sa attire.
"Is this the Jackson's residents?" The lady asked.
"Yes..." Henry answered. "But my dad's not ho"
"We know, and we're here to inform you that he's dead"
"HUH!?" Henry's eyes widened as he heard the news. "it's a lie, he can't be dead, I saw him yesterday. He left, he said he was going to co back"
As Henry rembers watching his father smiling and waving at him, he wished he would wave back or at least say sothing, but now he was gone. His eyes were slowly filling up with tears as he wished he had spent more ti with him instead of blaming him for everything, in the end, it was all his fault.
"His body was found frozen, and it was known that soone killed him, but no one knew who"
"H-how can you say you don't know who?!!!, Weren't you with him?!!!"
"Your father was running a secret experint and he was alone," the lady said and cleared her throat. "Under the authority of the ASE, we're here to take you.
"I'm sorry but I can't go with you" Henry bowed his head.
.
.
.
"Mom!"
"Oh, my baby. How was school today?"
"It was great; we did sports exercises. I got second place in the girl's race."
Henry stood not far away as he watched the girl who was in his class talking to her mother, he felt empty inside. It had been three years since his father died and since he had never known any of his relatives, he was forced to live alone.
"Henry, aren't your parents coming?" A boy in his class asked him as he walked to Henry.
Henry didn't answer, he just stood still watching the girl as they both walked away, holding each other's hand.
"Henry!!!" The boy yelled.
"Unh!, what?" He responded and turned to him. "You scared , Jace. Why are you yelling?, I'm right next to you"
"You were but your mind wasn't," Jace said with a smile.
"Your parents aren't coming?" Henry asked.
"You know are they are, it's always work, work, work. They barely have ti for " Jace replied as both of them walked ho. "What about you? It's been three years since I saw your dad and you never let co over, what's up?"
"It's nothing... My dad has also been on missions so he's hardly at ho"
Even though Henry's father had been dead for three years he had never told anyone. The people from the ASE never ca back since he hadn't awakened his technique.
'And to be honest, I'm glad that I don't have a technique. If not, the Academy would have forced to join'
"Let's talk about sothing else" Jace suggested.
"Like what?"
"Like what you were doing? I saw you staring at May, don't tell you like her" Jace said and poked Henry.
"What!!?, No!!" Henry said. He was just wishing he would be able to experience sothing like that ever again. His father used to pick him up from school and his mother was always at ho, now everything was a ss.
"But you were staring at her."
"So?"
"Why don't you tell her tomorrow?"
"What??"
"Co on, it's going to be fine. She is nice and cute. I would strongly recomnd you go for it." Jace was trying to convince him to ask her out.
"I said I don't like her" I answered.
"But you..." Jace was about to say sothing.
"Jace!!!" That was his mom calling.
"Okay, Henry. Tell if she agrees, okay," he said, running to his mother.
Henry looks at the sky; it's going to be sunset soon. He better start heading ho.
