Return My Love || (Hashirama x OC) [ABANDONED]

Chapter 2

Kirai's POV

"Kirai-sensei..."

I sipped my tea and placed it back down in the table. "Yes?"

"What happened next after they found you? Your story is quite intriguing. Let alone, it involves the great Hashirama-sama with it." My student, Yoi, tapped her finger lightly in the table. Curious as she is, I made her wait for long until her patience grew thin.

Slowly, I sipped my tea again. "Oh? You are that curious?"

"Yes, Kirai-sensei."

I hummed. "Ah, yes... Indeed. That is how Hashirama and his family found me. But now you know about my origin, I shall not go over full details of the situation of my hometown."

"Why? Your old home was destroyed, yes?"

My brow quirked up, "Are you deaf or what? Have you been listening well to my past story?"

Yoi lowered her head, "I apologize. Please continue..."

I cleared my throat, "I will do something with your curiosity. You asked of the following events after they had found me, am I correct? I shall resume my story. Perhaps I will tell you of my own situation as well... If I so desire."

Yoi leaned closer, nodding eagerly as she waits for me to begin again.

Once again, I sipped my green tea. This time, I took it slow. I ignored Yoi's impatience. I am busy thinking back of the past. It has been a long time ago... "Let me tell you more about my name... Listen well and listen carefully. I shall remind you again that my past is painful and saddening. The beginning is hard to explain since I was young at that time."

"Do so, Kirai-sensei."

I licked my lips, removing the stains from the tea.

"Father, why are we naming her like that! It is an insult and disrespectful. I cannot accept such thing." Hashirama tried to reason with his father. I understand why he fights his father. He cannot bear at the thought of hurting me. It's one of the reasons why I like him. "We took her in, yet we bully her for no absolute reason–"

"No, you are the one who brought her to our home. No one is bullying anyone for no absolute reason. I have told you back at the forest about this, Hashirama. It seems you never learn a thing or two."

"I did listen, father! I-It is just that... We are the Senju, we symbolizes love and unity. But why are we treating her such! It is truly unacceptable–"

"Nothing in the middle of the war is truly acceptable, boy. In times like this, we can only trust people who is our kin and ally."

"But you have seen her home! You have seen the fallen town, the result of a destroyed home. You have seen her cry, father. Isn't that enough? You cannot trust her, indeed, but you can accept her."

His father only scoffed at him, "Accept her? How should I when I do not know anything about her."

"Father, you are not blind and stupid. She had faced hell–"

"You say such thing to me, boy!? I am not blind nor stupid. It seemed you have mistaken my point, child, for I am only doing this because I fear."

Hashirama is confused, "Fear? Why would you fear, father. She is only a girl."

"A girl, yes, but I am sure you have met children who can fight. You have fought multiple of them in the battlefield, what is to say that she isn't one? I am not too sure if she is a shinobi. She could bring potential harm to our clan."
