Final Moments

Chapter XVIII

Two hours later....
Boruto POV
The pain in my head went away after the long walk. I arrived to the steps of my home. I opened the door to see the hallway taken over by the darkness. I removed my shoes and placed them at the entrance. I made my way towards to the bright light at the end of the hall. There both my parents and my little sister were setting the table. The room was filled with light. It felt warm and relaxing.
"What's this" I ask.
"It's all for you"
"This is our present before you leave" My mom smiled.
A tear ran down the side of my cheek. This was the reason I had to leave. The reason I had to gain power. To protect all of them. To protect my beautiful mother. The person who stayed up late worried about me. The person who made me see my errors. The person who would hear my issues out. The person that never pushed me away. The person even though scary at times had the biggest heart for her love ones. My father, even though still clumsy at times; is kind hearted man that suffered through his youth to bring peace. To give us tranquility at night. That gives his all in everything. The person that inherited the lord 3rds will. The man that declared that the whole village is part of his family. To give his life for the people that once despised him. The man that always sees the good in people. My little sister. The little girl who will always fool people with that cute and innocent smile of hers. One of the three women that scares me the most and dare not to piss her off again. The little girl that always cheers me up.
I will die for these people over and over again if it meant they get to live another day.

My mother came and wrapped her arms around me.
"Don't cry my little one"
I hugged her tighter. More tears ran down my cheeks. She stork the back side of my head. I cried on her shoulder.
"There there" Her soothing voice made me feel more calm and relax.
I pulled away from her. I stared into her beautiful eyes.
*sniff**sniff*
I rubbed my eyes to give my mother a huge smile. She did the same.

My mother guided me to my seat. I sat between both my parents with my little sister in front of me. I noticed that there was two extra seats.
"Well then lets ea-" My dad reached his hand out only to have it slap by my mother.
"No wait Naruto wait for"
*ding-dong*
It seems someone was at the door. My mom left the room.
"You came just in time" I could hear her talking to someone.
"Of course we wouldn't miss him" A old strange familiar voice spoke up.
"Come in come in" My mother shut the door.
This presents fills awfully familiar. Too familiar.
"Where's is he" A woman ask my mother.
I recognized that voice.
My father was distracted by my little sister. They were talking about some new toy my sister wanted for her birthday. I don't know I wasn't really listening. I got up and slowly tiptoed away from the scene.
"Oh he's in there" my mothers voice was louder than before which was indicating they were closing in.
I tried to move a little faster.
"Oh shi-"  Two strong arms yanked me off my feet.
"Your trying to leave with out saying your goodbyes"
"You don't even come and visit"
"My you've grown some much"
"Hi Aunt Hanabi" I said annoyed. She kept rubbing her soft cheek against my face.
Then I felt another more rough cheek being rubbed against left my side.
"Shes right you have grown so much, you don't even come to visit your own grandfather anymore" the old man said.
"Hi grandpa" They both locked there arms around me not allowing me to leave.
"Grandpa big sis Hanabi!!!"My sister jump out of her chair and ran towards us.
"Hima" they both let out one arm letting my sister into the hug or should I say trap.
The more I moved the more the trap got tighter. I moved my head to see my mother with a huge smile on her face. On the other hand, my dad had tears coming down from his face trying to release the laughter.
"Help me" I tried to tell my dad through my eyes but luckily my mom saw my suffering and saved me.
"Shall we eat"
"The food is getting cold" My mother said.
"Your right" my grandfather said as they all released me.
I started to walk back to my seat only to be stopped by someone grabbing my ear.
"What have I told you about calling my aunt" I could see from the corner of my eye. She had the byakugan activated.
"OW OW OW, sorry big sis" She released me from my pain. Her face went back to normal.
"Same technique as mom" I mumbled.
I sat down once again. I looked at the site. A big cooked chicken laid on a platter. To the right there was two pots. One contained rice and the other had ramen in it. To the left their was a large bowl with rolls of sushi placed in spiral way.
My father and mother each started place the plates of food in front of each person with a side of the miso ramen soup in a small bowl.
"Thank you for the food" we all said in unison.
I stuffed my face with everything. The chicken was so juicy. It was seasoned just right. Cooked at the right temperature. It felt like I was in heaven. I took a spoonful of rice and put it in my mouth. The taste only melted my brain. It was delicious.
"Mom you never seem to surprise me"
"Your cooking will always be the greatest ever" I said as I swallowed the food down. I took a sip of the juice from the ramen.
"My cooking is way better than this" My aunt Hanabi wined.
"Suurrreeee" My mom rolled her eyes.
A vein started to form on my aunts head.
"It is so" Both wielders of the byakugan stared at each other. Their eyes started to activate.
Are they gonna fight. My father was to busy stuffing his face with his big bowl of ramen to even notice the commotion.
"That's enough you two" My grandfather spoke up. I looked at him. His byakugan was in the same state as my mother and aunt were in.
Their eyes slowly started to go back to the way it was.
"Hmph" They looked away from each other.
They both act like children. This must be how Mitsuki sees me and Sarada every time we start arguing over the littlest things.

Three Hours later...
As the time passed we sat there reminiscing over the pass. We laughed at all the stories that my dad and grandfather. The more they talk they more I found out about them. What surprise me the most was how sweet my mother was to my father.
"Is it true that mom fainted every time she was close to you dad" I ask my dad.
"WHO TOLD YOU THAT" my mom snapped. She was flustered out of embarrassment.
"No one in particular cough cough" I look away with my arms crossed from my mother but pointed at my aunt with one hand out under my arm.
My mother looked at my aunt who turned away whistling.
"Yeah it's true" My dad interrupted.
"I was too dense to realize sooner that your mother really loved me from a young age and that I loved her too" my dad said while with his hand on his chin looking at my mother.
I turn to look at my mother who was flustered even more. Is this the same person.
"Well I guess that's what I also inherited from you"
"Density" I said.
"Why do you say that" my father ask.
"I'm not sure all my friends tell me I'm dense I still don't know why" I scratch with my index finger.
Everyone start to giggle even my little sister.
"What?"
"Nothing"
"you'll find out later we'll just let it blossom on it's on" It seem my mother had a idea what was actually happening.
And we'll for me I was lost. Why doesn't anyone tell me anything.

More time has go now and dinner was over. We started to pick up the plates, bowls, and the pots placing them in the sink. My father started washing all of them.
It seemed that my grandfather and aunt were staying over. My grandfather took the guess room to himself while Aunt Hanabi slept in my little sister room.
