bye

354 days since then.

"Mirai your squad shikadai, chocho and inojin will go on a mission since you are the only team able to finish missions quickly and only avaliable team till tomorrow you will go. You will set off tomorrow at noon" lord seventh said.
"Yes lord seventh"
"Dismissed" he said before we walked out.

"Inojin what are you gonna do" chocho said pulling out a bag of chips.
"What do you mean" i say looking at her.
"Your anniversary how are you gonna tell himawari" chocho said .
"Shikadai" i said about to ask him for advice but he's gone.
"I'll find a way" i say before walking towards himawaris house. I kick a rock as i go thinking of a way to tell her.

"Himawari you home" i say knocking on the door.
"Coming" i hear before the door opens.
"Inojin . . . whats wrong" as she sees a sad look on my face.

"Your father is sending me on a mission" i say scratching the back of my head Before seeing her face turn from joyful to a bit sad.

"But don't worry I'll finish quick and come back with seeds for the white sunflower you told me about" i said with a smile of confidence
"Ok" she said with a smile and her head held high.
"I'll see you when i get back so bye" i said kissing her before leaving. I walk before I see the rock again and kick it into town.
I sit in the dumpling shop and chocho appears with buruto.

"Whats up with him" buruto said .
"We got a mission before his and himawari's anniversary" chocho said grabbing a dumpling off my plate as they block my sun light out.
"What happened she gave you the calm smile face when shes holding back loneliness" buruto said leaning on the table eating a dumpling .
"No she gave me the fake smile holding back sadness and tears face" i said feeling ashamed as my heads down ontop of my arms crossed underneath.

"Don't feel bad himawari is good at hiding her feelings when it comes to responsibility but i guess it was so hard for her she couldn't hid it." buruto said before chocho slapped behind his head.
"Don't say that you dumbass. Look inojin himawari understands your responsibility she will forgive you" she says with a hand on my shoulder.

"I guess" i say before running home as it began to get dark.
"Ma dad I'm home" i say taking off my shoes before running up the stairs. I begin to pack and put my ryo wallet in my bag.
"Inojin where home" i hear as i wash the soap out my hair.

"I'm showering mom and i got a mission tommarow" i yell wiping ths soap from my eyes.
"Ok good luck" she yells up as i step out the shower and dry my hair.I step in bed after putting on my clothes and go to sleep.
"Going to bed mom" i yell down before my eyes close .

Morning

I wake up to the sun in my eyes i got 30 minutes to meet everyone at the gate. I start to panic.
"Wow i slept in for that long I'm gonna be late" i say hoping out of bed and i start to get dress. I run to the kitchen to see mom laying by the table with a cup of ramen and a note.

Inojin
Goodluck on your mission it's a shame you have to go when your father comes back from his mission today but it's ok.

"Bye mom" i said kissing her on the cheek before i run out the front door. I run to the gate where chocho, shikadai and sensei wait. As we begin to walk out the village i feel sad.
"I never got to say bye" i say as they look at me.
"I don't think you need to" shikadai said pointing back to himawari as she ran quickly toward us.
"Catch" she yells throwing me something. I catch it I realize its was a sword that says "Neji ya himawari no omoi de inojin"

*neji and inojin in the thoughts of the sunflower*
I smile and run behind the rest of my team as the last thing i see is himawari waving as she begins to grow smaller as we move further away.
"That's some girl" sensei said looking back at me. As shikadai grew a smirk like grin.
