The Unexpected World

Leaving?

"Allow me to come with you."

"Okay." We left the house and I show him where he lives. My father knocks on the door. Out of all people in his house, he opens up. He looks rather unhappy.

"Hello, you must be Neji."

"Yes, you must be Snow's father..."

"Yes, I'm Mal Heart. I would like to give you thanks for taking care of my daughter two days ago."

I bow to Neji. "I'm sorry, I run off."

He didn't say anything to me. I look at my father. "Oh, I was guessing the Hokage spoke to you already." Neji's eyes were lit like fire. My dad soft smile comes to play like he normally does. "I guess so. Trust me, if it wasn't for the Hokage, I would allow my daughter to continue her training. I'm sorry, Neji. I don't want her to leave."

"I understand." His first words.

I grab his left hand. "Neji, I hope this doesn't stop us from seeing each other." I gave him a warm smile. I notice his cheeks were pink.

"Aw, I see now." My dad laughs as Neji cheeks turn bright pink as he looks away. "Neji, you could drop by anytime at the house."

"Of course." He said. I looked at them. I wonder what was that about.

....

My father and I left his house. "Hey, how about we go out to eat for once."

"Are you sure, daddy?"

He nods. "Yeah. Of course, it has been a long while."

It made my day and took him to Naruto favorite ramen shop where we found him. "Snow!"

"Naruto!"

My dad sigh before Naruto got to hear. "Another boy?"

Naruto stops in front of me. "What brings you here?"

"Naruto, this is my father, Mal."

"Nice to meet you, Naruto." My father said.

"Yeah, nice to meet you."

It was an awkward start for the both. "Naruto, we are going to eat at the roman shop."

"Really? Well, I'm going there to eat too."

"Great, you can join us." My father said. I went along with it and eat with Naruto. My dad was talking to Naruto while I chew my food.

I overheard them. "So, Naruto you like my daughter..."

I choke on my food. "Here, drink some water." The old man said. I took it and drank everything. Naruto looks serious. "No, I have someone else in mind. I see Snow as a little sister."

"Aw, I see, I hope things go well for you."

Naruto smiles brightly and said. "Believe it. It will." It made me smile.

....

After lunch, we said goodbye to Naruto. My father and I were walking home when we came across Sasuke. He stops to stare at me. He looks serious and walks up to me. "Where is he?"

"A friend of yours?" My dad added.

"Yes." I said.

My dad crosses his arms and seem not to like Sasuke. "What's your name?"

"Sasuke Uchiha."

"I am Mal Heart. Snow's father."

I have noticed his attitude change just a little, trying to act cool.
