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

Chapter 4

Kirai's POV

"Hashirama!"

I ran straight to the brown haired bowl-cut boy who is wearing weird looking clothes. There is something hanging in his hip that is similar to when he had found me, but I did not mind it. I continue to run towards him in full speed. Slowly, he turns around just in time. His eyes widened when I jumped to him.

For a second, I thought he will not be able to catch me. But his hand swiftly shot up and grab hold of my waist, flinging me upwards.

"Kirai!" Hashirama laughed at me, hugging me close. I can smell the sweat in his neck, but I did not mind once again. I wrapped my arms in his hard body. It was not comfortable.

I pulled away, staring at the clothing. "That?" I pointed at it. I still cannot be able to speak full sentences, my tongue tangles up when I talk.

He looked confused for a moment before looking down, "Oh! It is called an armor."

Armor?

"You must be wondering, Kirai. I believe now is not the right time to tell you such thing." He said, patting my head. "I do not want you to be involve, I cannot allow it."

"Why?"

He blinked at me, as if he did not expect for me to respond. He smiled sadly, "Because it is not something you want to know..."

Someone walked behind Hashirama, I look at the person to see Tobirama staring at him with his arms crossed. "Anija, preparations have now settled. We will be leaving in a moment." Then, his eyes transferred down at me. "I should tell you this, anija. Keeping secrets from her will not work. Not when it is much of a bigger issue."

Hashirama sighed, frowning at him. "I know my intentions, Tobirama. But let me do this for once. She is still too young..."

"And so are we, anija. But look at us."

"Our state is far different than hers. Her experience and ours is not the same, you should know better." Hashirama said, now looking at me with his brows furrowed. I did not like the expression in his face, so I too, frowned.

"Let us not waste time in this, anija. Less talk, more planning..." Then, Tobirama walked away, leaving me and Hashirama alone.

"Hashirama?" I made sure to make my little voice sounds loud, it is a good way to catch Hashirama's attention. He looks at Tobirama for a second before turning to me.

"Do not worry yourself, Kirai-chan. Tobirama is a stern boy, but I believe he always do things serious for the greater good."

I am confused, but I nodded anyways.

"Anyways, before we could leave, I want you to stay in the house while we are away, alright?" Hashirama raised a finger. "Little girls like you should not be exposed to danger, especially when the good people are not with you. So, do what I have told you to do in order to keep you safe. The least I can do is to warn you while I am not here."

He is leaving? For some reason, I did not want that. I am not prepared to face the inevitable, especially when I know that leaving me alone will cause me more pain. A pain wherein Hashirama himself have not noticed yet... So, I fear.

Then, I was clutching Hashirama's sleeves, not letting him leave me. He noticed that and he smiled sadly. His hand wrapped around mine tightly and firmly, then, slowly prying my hand away from his cloth. His actions hurt me, does he not want me here?

"Kirai, do not fret." It seems he had read my thoughts. "I will come back here, do not worry. Once I do, we can play around all we want. So, do not fear. It will not take too long, I promise you."
