Prologue

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[1 year after saving Hinata from Toneri]

Hinata sat in front of a young and naked boy, so that they were eye to eye. Despite the bright smile on his face, Hinata looked at his skinny frame, which shook at the chill of the night.

My poor child. She thought. Her heart ached at seeing his condition. It was shameful how incompetent she was at being a mother. Hinata's face contorted in sorrow and tears started forming in her eyes.

The child's smile faded as he became worried. "Hinata-hime-", he started, but didn't know what to say.

Hinata swiftly turned her face away from her son, as her tears finally fell. She quickly wiped her face as she started rummaging her backpack. She then pulled out her old jacket and wrapped it around the child. Smiling with sad eyes, she started, "I'm alright Kira." Stroking his long, shaggy and light aquamarine coloured hair, she continued, "After my mission, I'll make sure to become a better mother." She then proceeded to hug him as he was putting his hands in the sleeves of the jacket.

He looked at her and tilted his head in a confused manner. A tinge of concern present in his eyes. He then leaned into her hug, buried his face on her shoulders and said, "I love you."

Hinata was taken aback for a bit, and then her heart swelled with joy. Her innocent little boy's sincerity pierced her. She hugged him closer and kissed the top of his head. With a lighter mood and a contented smile, she replied, "I love you, too."

Hinata watched as Kira played in the shallow river. The sun that reflected in the water shone on his face, as he let out a small and soft giggle. Moments ago, she had been in the water, too, but only for catching their lunch. She caught five fishes and they were being cooked by the fire. Hinata and Kira were resting a bit from their travel towards her mission's client.

Joy and gratitude suddenly overcame her. What could have she done, if she didn't have Kira? She would be the same lonely and miserable woman, weeping at her ex-fiancé's unfaithfulness.

A sudden painful heartbeat.

The memory still brings her pain.

Not wanting to dwell on it and fall into a semi-depressed state, she shook the thoughts out of her head. She needs a strong will, not just for herself anymore, but also for her son. Deciding to think positive, she focused on the good outcomes of the events. One positive outcome was that she found out before they got married. Wasting money on a wedding, that would end up in a divorce anyway, was prevented. Another was that, the grin of her ex could reach his ears again. He was finally with his childhood love, his true love and he was very happy. His happiness, even if it was not because of her, still managed to make her smile for him. He deserved happiness, after all of his sufferings and after saving the world. But most of all, he was human, too. He makes mistakes, and so does she. She should just forgive him. After all, if Naruto didn't cheat, she wouldn't have found Kira. Kira, she believed, was the one person, who would never ever leave her. With a solemn smile, she just hope she's not mistaken again this time.
