Our Place From The Sun

Chapter 6

Sai

"You're living with your teammates." Father calmly said as he gently placed a cup of tea before me.

"Why?" I didn't made any emotions. He just smiled at me as he went back to the couch --before me.

"Its for you to create bond." His smile is warm-- as always-- he took the newspaper from the table then ready it. We just stayed like that for minutes until the maid call him out for something. The next minute, I heard mother's voice as she invites me to cook something for Father and my siblings.

My relationship with my parents is something that I treasured the most. I'm their adopted son, I sometimes feel ashamed of why I belong in this family, I was supposed to be a commoner, someone poor and uneducated, but they are there, they always remind me that I'm Sai Namikaze, their son.

They loved me like a real son, even my nrothers do too. And I'm grateful I had them.

"I'm thankful I have a son who wakes up early!"
Mother smiled at me as she chopped the vegetables, she asked me to cut the meat, and minutes after this she'll saute the onions, I will just assist her since I don't have a lot of knowledge about cooking.

"What do we have here?" father asked as he enter the kitchen, he is holding a piece of brown envelop but he gently put it down the counter as he walk towards us.

"Hmmm.. What can I do?" he placed his hand above my shoulder. "Let me do that, son. You go there and make your mother her favorite coffee." Father beamed. I smiled before gently handling him the knife and do what he said.

After making Mother's coffee, the onions are already sauteed and it was Father who tended the pan. He just let Mother sit down the counter and watch him do the work.

"What do we have here???" the husky voice rang the kitchen. The three of us gazed at the doorframe only to see Akiro Kurama Uzumaki Namikaze. The eldest. He have Orange long hair, his eyes is color red, and he is so tall. Taller than Father. He got his features from Mother but his haircolor and eyes came from Mother's Father.

He is the eldest, currently 24 years old and is already the one managing Father's company. He don't really like handling the company since he is busy on his own a bar and is currently a pilot but because Menma--the original heir-- is still underage, and perhaps still dumb he took care of the company for a span of time.

In case you guys are wondering why the eldest is not the heir of the company, it's because even Kurama is born, he was already given the title as the Fox prince, since his grandparents--Mother's parents-- said that they'd give all their properties-- the terraces, money, shrines(?), and their share in the company-- to him. He is born a millionaire, and so Mother decided not to give her the company since it'll be too much for him.

Then Naruto and Menma are born. Menma was given the Namikaze's company, shares and some of Father's property. Naruto-- as an Uzumaki-- is given Mother's company shares, and the properties under her name.

Me, who came to their life at 7, I was declared as their official son a month after they took me in. I was given rights over their family's properties, and the mansion-- that we currently live in-- is named after me. I was also given company shares from both Uzumaki and Namikaze business groups. I'm quite lucky.

"Good morning everyone!" Kurama greeted, giving Mother a kiss on her cheeks, and giving me a bro hug. He also went to Father to give him a hug.

I also gave him a coffee in which he thanked me for as he sat beside Mother.

"How's the two troublemaker?"

"As usual... " Father sighed. "Both of them had a fight with Sasuke Uchiha yesterday. They both went home injured. Although they are allowed to spar with the other agents, they are still childish for picking a fight at school."

"They didn't seem to get along well to we decided to arrange a house for them to live in together. You know... to at least help them create bond."

"Eh.. what about the Hyuuga princess, if I'm not mistaken, she is the only female in the group. Will she live there too? did Hiashi agreed to this?"

"He did. She's with Neji, Itachi and Sasuke after all. Hiashi said as long as she is safe and is given her own privacy in the house then we will have his support."

Kurama went silent for awhile. "He.. knows that Naruto is there too, right?"

Father gave him a tight smile. "Yes, he does."

"... Yet he didn't show any disagreement..?"

"What happened back then was not your brother's fault."

"What will happen is they remember each other?"

"If they remember, then we will be able to find out what really happened back then." Father smiled.

Mother decided to cut the conversation as she diverts the topic. Of course, she's hurt with the heavy conversation we just heard. It's not easy for her to recall those times that cause her so much agony and made her shed a lot of tears.

Something happened back then. It's something that only two toddlers knew but sadly those two forgot about it. The first one got critical injury that put her between life and death, 1 year coma and selective amnesia.

Meanwhile, the other one got trauma that is perhaps caused by the brutality he witnessed, he was unresponsive and is like living dead for months until his brain itself finally processed to forget that certain event completely as though it didn't happen in the first place. His doctor said that its his own way of at least easing the pain-- deliberately/forcing himself to forget about it--  but even if he already forgot, his heart remembers.

He grew as a goofy boy he used to before that incident happened, but every now and then, he could feel a fang of pain in his heart and head.

He grew up as Naruto Uzumaki, the boy who forgot who his first love is.
