From Disaster To New Miracles

Daisuke

"How was your mission? You went straight to bed after returning home". Dad asked as he fixed the three of us breakfast. "Uncle Neji didn't tell you"? "Should he have? Your not hurt are you"? "No, it's nothing like that". "What happened Daisuke"? He asked placing mine and Sarada's plates infront of us. "I just really miss mom is all........Our mission was to escort a mom and her kids back to their village.

While on the mission one of my teammates started talking to her and she explained to us in more detail on why she needed bodyguards, it was a whole thing about her parents not liking her husband even though he does nothing but take good care of her and her kids".

"And it reminded you about how the four of us used to be", "That but it all made me think about how the five of us should be right now". I said looking down. Without saying a word they both came and hugged me. I enjoyed it but I also wanted my mother's arms around me as well.

After breakfast was over I had to get out. I couldn't stay in the house and pretend to act as if I were ok, not now. Not when dad was around and I had just admitted to him that my first mission affected me on a personal level. I just wanted to forget everything for a bit and knew he would give me as much space as I needed.

That's what I liked most about this whole situation. Dad lets Sarada and I talk about our feelings but never pushes us to talk about them if we don't want to and understand that we want to figure things out on our own sometimes and that's exactly what I was going to do now.

I made my way to the gate, waved by to the guards and took off in the direction of the Lilly pond my mom and I had made together when I was younger. In total there were three. One ate the Uchiha estate, one at the Hyuga estate and one hidden in the forest, that's the one I was headed to now. Once there I made my way through the bushes, took my shoes off and sat next to the water placing my feet in.

You always said this would help me. You always said I could come here anytime I wanted to be alone or was feeling mad, anxious or scared.........Im feeling all of those things right now mama.

I'm scared our family will never be whole again, I'm scared you and dad will never be happy again, I'm scared Hinawari will never know the truth, I'm anxious not knowing how Naruto's treating the two of you, I'm scared he's hurting one of you if not both.

I can't sleep because of this sometimes. I can't sleep because I can't see you. Seeing you smile and hearing your soft voice is all I ever needed to calm down and feel safe but I don't have that anymore and don't know if I ever will.

"I miss you so much". I whispered.

"I assure you she's fine". It took everything I had not to turn around and glare at him. I could, I had every right to hate him but that would only make things worse for my dad. "Lord Hokage". I turned around to face him. "Your mother, I'm taking good care of her and your sister". "Why did you do this to us? You were my dad's best friend, he trusted you. Why would you stab him in the back and lie on him like this"?

"You're still young Daisuke. You've never been in love before, I don't expect you to understand my side of things". "You took a mother who was about to have a baby away from her two oldest kids and made her leave the man she loves, your dam right I don't understand how anyone could do that to another person and I don't think I ever will".

"I know you and Sarada don't think I was thinking about either of you but I assure you I was. That's why Sakura's there, she can be the wife Sasuke needs and the mother you and Sarada need". "That's not for you to decide. My father doesn't love her and never will, no one can ever replace my mom".

I couldn't stay there, as soon as I was done saying what I had to I left. I headed back to Konaha and just walked. I still wasn't ready to head home just yet but had no idea of what to do. The only thing I did know for certain was that I was pissed.

How dare he? He had no right to try and justify his actions to me. Nothing he says can ever make this right.

While walking I couldn't help but take notice to Sumire who was sitting infant of a grave. Without thinking I made my way over and sat down next to her. "Hi Daisuke". She said solemly. "Is it ok if I sit with you"? She noted her head. "This is my mother". "I'm sorry for your loss". "Thank you". "If it helps, I know exactly how it feels to lose a mother". "You dp"? I nodded.

"It's not the same but yeah". "What do you mean"? "My mother, she's still alive but she and my baby sister were taken from us". "I thought Sarada was your only sister". "If I tell you, you have to promise you'll keep it a secret. I can't risk them getting hurt". "I promise".

"The Hokage and Sakura Harmon came up with a lie that forced my parents to have a divorce. They did it because the Hokage wanted my mom and Sakura wanted my dad. My mom was pregnant at the time so Naruto took custody of her and gave full custody of Sarada and I to our father, I haven't seen my mother in five years".

"That's awful, so Himawari is actually Sasuke Uchiha's daughter"? "Mhm and to make matters worse he actually talked to me today and tried to defend his actions, he said I would never understand his side of things and he's right". "Daisuke". Was all she said before pulling me into a hug. I allowed her to hold me and unintentionally laid my head on her shoulder.
