Ordered to be together - Shikajin

Thoughts

It was another morning in the hospital. The sun was shining through the windows and I could hear sounds of birds and kids who were playing at the playground placed right next to the hospital. I hated that place. I just wanted to go home, where I could at least play shougi. There weren't many things I could do with that broken arm though. Even taking a shower was really troublesome and uncomfortable. My entire body was aching and I found it really hard to stand straight. I needed a help with trivial activities during the day. Words couldn't describe how hopeless I felt.
I was waiting for my mother to discharge me from the hospital. She was already late, so I started to feel impatient and nervous.

"I wonder what she is doing" I said to myself. My mother wasn't a type of reckless and unresponsible person. She wouldn't be late for no reason. It was strange.

"Temari is not here?" I heard Mrs. Sakura's voice, so I looked in her direction and shook my head in response. "I see... In the night Sai and Shikamaru had to go outside. Those offenders you were fighting with are really dangerous, so Naruto asked them to take care of them. They haven't returned yet. But don't worry, they are really strong. They will be alright."

"But what about my mother? Was she with my father?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. You should ask Ino, since she is the Leader of Konoha Barrier Team. But you can't do it right now... You know I can't let you leave the hospital without your mother, right?"

"Yeah..." I murmured, sitting on the bed. I was really worried. "What am I supposed to do?" I asked myself, gaining a caring look from Mrs. Sakura.

"I can call Ino if you want to."

"Yes, please" I answered, so she nodded and left the room. I shouldn't be that worried. I knew that my father and Mr. Sai were really strong, so they couldn't lost to them.

"She's on her way along with Inojin" She said after a while with a smile.

I nodded. I wanted to thank her but she was already left. It wasn't anything weird, she had a lot of patients. There was nothing more she could do. I shouldn't even ask her for help. Well, I'm still a kid though. I can't do everything on my own. Many things depend on adults which is really troublesome.
The only adventage of that situation is that I can see Inojin. Also, it was a long time since I've seen Aunt Ino. I kinda missed her. What a pity we could make it in such a situation.

"Shikadai!" I heard familiar voice. I didn't even notice, when they came in. I should be ashamed as an aspiring ninja and head of my clan but I couldn't bother myself with that. "How are you? You grew up, didn't you?" The blonde woman ran to me and hugged me really tight. I could barely breathe. Inojin, who was watching his mother behaviour, laughed pretty loud.

"I'm fine" I answered, smiling nervously because of the embarrassment. "I'm happy to see you, Auntie, but you squeezing me too tight" I said, and she let off me.

"I'm sorry, I'm just really happy to see you. You did well. If I were there, I... Ehm, I'm glad that you feel better" she explained cheerfully."

"I understand... Can I ask you a favor?"

"I know, I know. Sakura told me everything. Your mother is with my husband and Shikamaru. They captured those fuc-" she paused, when she realized she almost used that language towards me. No doubt she was furious because they nearly beat us to the death. She clenched her fist and teeth as she tried to calm down. "Anyway, she is safe unlike those criminals. They will got what they deserve, I will take care of them." she said. Even though she was smiling, she looked so scary. I wouldn't like to be in their shoes.

"So I have to keep waiting... Troublesome."

"You're just like you father" Ino laughed. She was right. I always was more like my dad than my mom. Perhaps it was the reason, why she was pissed of so often. "Well, I'm going to the work. Please, behave, you two. Temari will be there pretty soon. Take care" the blonde said and left us alone. I was afraid of my future. Our parents have so much work that we can rarely see them. It seems to be troublesome.
