The Unexpected World

Conversation

"Mama.." It was a nightmare, about my mother leaving. I woke instantaneously in an unknown bed, my eyesight started to adjust to the ceiling. I tilt my head to the left side. No one was around me.

"I have to get out." I said to myself in this big empty room as I remove the blue covers of my legs. I remember the features of the man's face stayed lingering in my mind as I put on my shoes that was right next to the desk.

I smiled to consider him as handsome as anyone, but I ask myself. "I have seen him before, but where?" I walked towards the door. I open it and heard a lot of movement of people trying to get one place to another. I sneak out of the hospital without no one noticing since they were too busy.

Once outside, I finally realized it was night time. I went straight for home. Finally, once at my house, my father wasn't waiting for me, in the living room like he usually does. I sigh as I went to my bedroom and got ready for sleep.

....

The following day, I was walking around when I happen to see Naruto. I waved. "Naruto!"

"Snow!" He runs towards me. "Hey, how are you?"

"I'm fine. I want to tell you something, can we speak in private?"

"Sure, what about?" As he rubs his head. I grab his wrist and took him away to a little nearby forest. We were in as I catch my breath. "Snow, you're out of shape."

I sigh. "Naruto, let me explain to you something important."

"What is it?"

"You promise me not to tell no one?"

He grins and pat his chest. "You can count on me. I promise not to tell a soul."

"Good, I'm leaving."

He drops his hand and his smile went away. "What you mean?"

I thought about it. I shouldn't have told him, but he is my brother after all. "My papa said that 'they' will come for me when I turn thirteen."

"Real.. Really?"

I nod. "My papa and I were planning on leaving the village soon."

"Snow..."

"Don't worry, I'll be back when I'm older." I smiled.

He made both fists. "Why? No one has any right to take you away from your father."

"Naruto, it's okay. It can't help." The next thing I knew Naruto pulls me into a hug.

"I will find you when you leave." I hug him. He lets go and smiled. "Why we don't go eat ramen."

I nod. We left the forest to go to a ramen shop. "Man, this place is the best, believe it."

"Really. How about I'll buy lunch?" I offered Naruto.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I don't have much, but it will do."

He smiled and walks in. "Come." I followed him and took a seat right next to him. "Teuchi, tworamen!"

"Oh, you have a friend? What's your name, little lady?" He asked.

"Snow Heart..."

"Wait, the Snow Heart!" He yelled.

"Wait, what's so special about Snow?" Naruto asked curiously.

"You haven't told him. Well, I think you should tell him. I'm going to make your ramen now." He smiled and started to cook.
