Lost Love

Chapter 5

"Hope you don't mind me dropping by like this! Where is everyone?" Sarada inquired as she sat across from her best friend.

"They all went to explore and Hana went to train," Sumire said.

"Ah, I see," Sarada nodded. "Anyway, I brought this for my daughter, but she said she "hates" pink stuff, so I was thinking, if it fits, your daughter can have it. By the way, when am I going to meet her?" Sarada inquired.

"Soon. Um, you have a daughter?" Sumire inquired.

"Uh-huh!" Sarada nodded excitedly. "She's your daughter's age. Not long after you left, I started dating someone and got pregnant. I wanted to tell you when we write letters, but..."

"Why didn't you? Who's the father?" Sumire questioned.

Sarada went quiet for a moment. "Well, um... Promise you won't be mad?" Sumire nodded, confused. "Well, it's..."

"This is Uzumaki Sanada. She's Boruto and his fiancée, who also happens to be the tenth Hokage, Uchiha Sarada, soon-to-be Uzumaki," Himawari introduced. "Sanada, meet my student."

"Nice to meet ya!" Sanada said, holding her hand out.

"Likewise," Hanasita said, take her hand. She and Sanada both wore goofy smiles.

They both look so similar to Onii-chan. Himawari mused.

"Sanada was also at the first exam of the Chunin Exams," Hinata said.

"Wait, you were there?" Sanada said as she looked at the purple haired maiden, who nodded. Sanada leaned in closer, her hand on her chin. Hanasita moved her head back a tiny bit from shock, but it was barely noticeable. "I would've saw someone as pretty as you in there. Are you sure you were there?" Sanada inquired.

"U-Uh, yeah! I'm sure!" Hanasita said.

"Sanada, how come your not home?" Boruto inquired.

"Oh." Sanada pulled away from Hanasita. "Mama wanted to know what you wanted for dinner," she said.

"Hey, Sanada, your family should eat here tonight. As a celebration for passing the first round. We can even invite Hanasita's mom," Himawari suggested.

"Yeah, sure!" Sanada took Hanasita's arm in hers. "What do ya say, Hana-chan!?"

"Hana-chan?" Hanasita murmured. She smiled softly. "Okay."

"Good!" Himawari clasped her hands together. Then we'll finally get to know who her mother is and if it's who we think it is. But Hanasita looks a lot like Onii-chan. So if she really is his, this will make the night awkward, the whole situation, too.

"Huh? A dinner at your friend's house?" Sumire repeated.

"I think you should go," Yuri said.

Hanasita clasped her hands in front of her, looking up at her mother with pleading eyes. "Pleaseeeeeee??"

"Fine," Sumire said, amused at her daughter's behaviour.

"Yes!!" Hanasita shouted excitedly.

"Enjoy!" Suzuka said from the stairs. She then leaned closer to the girl beside her. "Why'd she get to go and not us?" she whispered.

Suzuki chuckled. "Oh, Suzuka-chan."

"I'm serious," Suzuka stated.

Sumire followed her daughter to the house. She still didn't know who's house it wasn't because Hanasita didn't tell her. Upon reaching the gate, however, she recognised it. She grabbed hold of the hem of her skirt. She gulped nervously. She hadn't been here in over twelve years. Hanasita excitedly rang the doorbell. Footsteps were heard, then a girl shot open the door cheerfully.

"Sanada!"

"Hanasita!"

As they hugged, Sumire recalled what Sarada had told her, who the father was. She didn't want to ever tell Boruto about Hanasita now because she didn't want to get in the way of his and Sarada's relationship. But now, this was going to be a new level of awkward.

"Granny, Hanasita and her mom are here!" Sanada shouted.

A familiar man came in, wearing an pink apron with flowers, which obviously belonged to Himawari. "We've talked about shouting in the house," he said.

"Sorry, Uncle Kawaki," Sanada apologised.

Kawaki and Sumire's eyes met and their jaws dropped. Kawaki ahd a theory that Hanasita might've been related to her, but her own daughter!? Sumire, however, wasn't in shock from seeing him after a long time.

She burst into laughed. "Wow, fancy," she said, wiping a tear away.

"Shut up, Sumire-chan!" Kawaki growled.

"You two know each other?" Hanasita questioned.

"It's a looong story," Sumire said, pushing her daughter inside.

Kawaki led them to the kitchen as Sanada slammed open the door, pulling Hanasita with her. In there, Naruto was at the couch near the table, Hinata and Himawari weeenin the kitchen, waiting for Kawaki, and Boruto and Sarada were at the table.

Sarada's eyes widened. She may have never meet her, but she knew who's daughter she was. Sumire was her best friend, after all. This isn't going to end well.

The Uzumakis greeted Hanasita. Next, Kawaki and Sumire entered. Eyes widened, gasps were heard, and no one said a word as they stared at the purple haired beauty, who looked at the ground
