Author Notes: Errrr… Sorry if I made you people wait a long time for my update…it's been, quite a long time haha. But yea, I'll start updating a little again. I'm not sure how long this fic will be though hehe, but now…TIME FOR REPLIES TO REVIEWERS!
Hacker Grey – That was a random omake to which I had made, I just put in a setting and place for it
Suicidal-kun – it was a omake…lol
Kakashi-Chanu – YAH! The butterknife! XD
Shikamaruthenerd – ok…He got picked up before starving, no naruto never had a bloodline. Yes, making clothing is awesome, and…I'll answer the dad question in another person's review.
Liedral – sorry if the Japanese English part offended you, but in this case, I did not believe it would be proper to say Japanese as I am not technically typing Japanese. And so, even though it is within a Japanese setting, they are technically learning English…but point taken, thank you.
Dragon man 180 – I'm not planning on them being together forever, but I'll probably have them reunite them again later.
About the Dad(Jack) coming back issue – Here are my thoughts upon the matter. Naruto is…not and emotional hater type of person like…lets see…Sasuke. Relatively like the anime, he forgives people pretty easily…but in this case, his father as…he's his father. Same idea with Haku in this case.
And so…therefore after the…lets just say a long time …intermission…comes the next chapter
Chapter 12
The family was whole again…the father had come back and accompanied his wife and kids. In many cases, this would be the best situation which was to come, but now the question is, what type of situation would it cause to the previous village to which Jack was living before…when the two strange…green men came and took him away?
The sun came up as it slowly shined across the windows of Haku's and Naruto's room bringing light upon their faces. Jack looked at the rooms as he smiled a little as each of them squirmed a little from the heat and brightness which shined on them.
"Aren't they just…adorable Jack? A lot of things have went on ever since you left…Are you sure you can even catch up on all to which had happened?" Jill asked him embracing him from behind. He flinched a little before he calmed down and put his hands upon hers as he sighed.
"I do hope so…I've been gone a long time, but I'm willing to try and get back into their lives…but first…I must say I'm sorry. I'm still a little wary of…your bloodline…" Jack looked to the side ashamed to say it.
Jill slowly let go of her embrace as she looked at Jack right next to her. She was so close to him…but despite how close he was to her...he still seemed farther away.
"Jack…don't worry about it…I understand…" Jill said a little crestfallen, "But don't show this to the kids that your still like this. We better hurry with catching you up; sadly this Christmas was supposedly their initiation to travel on their own. So…shall we first of all start on what happened when we got here?"
"Yes…Lets…" Jack said as they both walked back to the living room.
A little later
Naruto's eyes slowly opened as he tried to get up…But some force was obviously tying him down. He moved his arm to get the object away…but it apparently latched itself onto his arm. He then opened his eyes to see Haku…holding onto his arm and wrapping her legs next to his.
"mmm…Naruto…stop moving so much…" Haku muttered as she held tighter. Naruto stated to blush profusely when he heard this…and the fact she was that close to him. He knew he wouldn't be able to get out of her grip…that was how it usually was in the morning. The only way was to…
"Haku…there's a new bread at the store…" Naruto whispered into her ear getting an immediate reaction. She jumped off of the bed and changed so fast it was a blur. "WHERE IS THAT NEW BREAD?"
"Wow…I didn't think it would be that effective hahaha." Naruto laughed out loud as he got out of bed too. "Though, there just might be new bread you never know…"
"Hmph, I hate you! Don't tease me!" Haku puffed as she looked the other direction from Naruto. He started to panic a little as he walked over to Haku and patted her on the head. "Don't be like that, you hurt my feelings too!"
"I know." Haku said as she turned around and stuck her tongue at him. "Better get changed quickly and go downstairs!"
She then ran downstairs with Naruto following after he changed out of his night pajamas. She then came to a halt and Naruto as well looking at Haku strangely.
"Is there something wrong?"
"…" Tears slowly fell out of Haku's eyes as she looked at the table…there was both Mom and Dad, both sitting at the table, both talking to each other…both laughing…It was as if…they were a family again. "Yesterday…wasn't a dream…was it?"
Naruto realized what Haku was going at before he slowly gave a smile of his own looking at his Mom and Dad,
"Nope…it wasn't a dream at all…I just wish…that we didn't have to leave so soon. That we could stay with them longer…that we…could be a family." Naruto said a little too loudly as Jill and Jack looked at them standing at the steps.
"Are you two going to eat breakfast or what? I want to hear what you two have been doing since I've been gone." Jack said as he reached for his fork…but was prevented by Jill.
"Now, now Jack, remember, we all start when we are all at the table." Jill said as she smiled. "Breakfast is ready."
"Yes Mom!" Both Naruto and Haku said running to their chairs and sitting down. They then started to eat.
"Ne, Dad! Guess what I'm doing lately! I'm a tailor! I make clothing and that such. You know, if you ever get a rip or need new clothing, just tell me and I can fix it for you!" Naruto said happily as he proud fully stood up and showed the clothing he was wearing. "All this is all made by me!"
"That's impressive Naruto, you're definitely my son!" Jack said before Naruto looked away a little. "Is there something wrong?"
"…I know I'm not your son, that you found me when I was a baby…" Naruto said. "I'm not really your son…"
"Of course you are, I will always be there for you Naruto. And by all means, DNA means nothing, that doesn't make a family…Love makes our family Naruto, and you're an irreplaceable part within ours." Jack said giving a gentle pat on Naruto's head making him try to get his hand off from embarrassment.
"Daad! You know I'm not a kid anymore, you can't do that anymore!" Naruto said.
"Of course, but you're my son and I can do whatever I like" Jack laughed out loud as he then started to scuffle Naruto's hair even more. "And what about my little angel over there, what have you been doing?"
"ummm…" Haku said blushing looking away in a little bit of embarrassment as well.
"What, is my daughter doing something NAUGHTY as her job?" Jack said teasingly.
"NO!" Haku abruptly said as she pouted at her dad's way of teasing her. "I…do blacksmithing."
"That's impressive! I don't know too many girls out there who can take on a profession such as that, you just might be the first one. I'm proud of you!" Jack said as he then moved his hand from Naruto's head and started to pat Haku's head.
"Now, now, Jack, we have breakfast to eat, I don't think we all can eat while their head is continually being patted." Jill said as she placed the food on the table.
"FRESHLY BAKED BREAD!" Haku raised her fist in the air in joy.
"I see…you're very passionate." Jack said with a little sweatdrop as he watched Haku dive right into some of the melon bread which was off to the side specially made by Jill.
"She's always like that dad, hehe, she goes crazy over the slightest views of bread no matter what type." Naruto laughed as he grabbed the melon bread from her mouth and moved it around watching her head move around facing towards the bread like it was life sustaining.
"Naruto, it isn't nice to taunt Haku ALL the time while were eating, try to reframe from doing it too much." Jill said smiling as she started to pick out some food to eat for herself.
"Well, I'm glad my family still maintains a healthy appetite!" Jack said.
"Of course!" Naruto said as he started to eat like crazy himself.
"Even though we may be all happy…you can't forget that tomorrow is the day of beckoning for the two of you." Jill said as she reminded them that they could not stay with each other forever.
"I know…But…It's just so unfair, I mean we just met dad again!" Naruto whined as he looked pleadingly at Jack.
"You know, you are my son. And Haku…my daughter…If I wouldn't be sad about the two of you leaving after such quick notice, I believe I would be as crazy as…well…let's not go there." Jack said looking back a little saddened by a memory he never wished to remember.
"Dad…promise me that you will never leave Mom or hurt her in any way ever again!" Haku said a little sternly. "I won't be here, so I can't monitor it! BUT PROMISE ME!"
"Haku…" Jill was just about to start before Jack put a finger at her mouth telling her to be quiet for a moment.
"Haku, I understand your worries…and I reassuringly will promise you that I will NEVER hurt your mom ever again even if it means my life will be in danger." Jack said warmly clearly showing that he was telling the truth.
"Are you telling the truth…" Haku said even though she believes with her heart that he was, she had to ask a second time.
"Haku…look at me in the eyes…and tell me how I could be lying." Jack said as he placed his forehead against her own and looked deeply into each other's eyes. "Does this look like the eye's of one who would lie at this time?"
"No…?" Haku said in an odd matter of questioning.
"Of course not Haku, I will never betray your bother ever again." Jack said giving her a hug of reassurance. "And Jill, I will promise you the same, I will never EVER leave your side again. I had done it once, and it still torments me so…I never want to have that feeling again."
"I do not either Jack…I love you." Jill said as she approached Jack and gave him a soft and quick kiss.
"I love you too." Jack said as he then looked at the two kids. "I think that a lot of time has passed by already…I think that the two of you should start getting to work should you not? It may be your last day, and your teachers may have some few last words to say besides during Christmas."
"Yes father!" Haku and Naruto said as they quickly finished their meals and ran outside the house to go to work.
Back at the house Jill was still with Jack as they sat together on the couch just enjoying each other's company.
"Well Jack…I do believe that we will have to find something not so manually straining for you to do as a job." Jill joked as she insulted his masculinity.
"Jiiiiilll…You know I have a strong upper body and lower body strength. I think I can take whatever you can dish out." Jack said stroking her hair. "How long has it been since I've been able to do this with you…"
"Too long…but those days are going to grow shorter as our days together pile up in time." Jill said. "I'm going to miss our children when they leave the village."
"I will too…but it isn't healthy to keep them forever in one place, they need to leave and explore the world for what it's worth." Jack said.
"I know…but it's just so…sad."
"Yes…their memories will always remain here with us though until they give us a visit."
"And maybe in that time…they'll come with a child of their own." Jill giggled as she looked at Jack's shocked face. "Oh…didn't you know? Haku oh so undyingly professed her love to Naruto one day and he reacted with just as much love."
"That…is incest is it…not?" Jack said a little worried.
"That is only if Naruto was born from my womb, correct?" Jill said. "And, he is not technically…and by doing this; he will truly become our child for life."
"That…is technically true." Jack said realizing where she was going. "Smart."
Now as they were talking, Naruto and Haku already split off as they left to meet up with their masters for their last and final visit before they left.
"YAT-CHAN! HI!" Naruto yelled aloud immediately alerting the customers and the attendants that were around at the time.
"Naruto, try to be a little more quiet next time, we are very delicate when it comes to these types of things." An attendant said as she continued to measure one of the customer's sizes.
"I'm sorry…it's just that…you know." Naruto said twisting his foot a little.
"I know, don't worry. She's in the back, but I'll miss you too you know." The attendant said as she gave Naruto a hug. "You take care of Haku-chan while you're off on your journey ok?"
"Of course!" Naruto grinned as he ran to the back where his own workshop usually was.
"Naruto, that is you right?" a voice was heard from the background as the sound of sewing could be heard.
"Yep, it's me Yat-chan, I'm here to finally get my last article of clothing which I created within this very room." Naruto said greeting Yat-chan with a hug as well.
"Of course, from here on out…you are to create your own inspirations for the world you are to see…but don't forget to also publicize me too ya hear!" Yat-chan said giving Naruto a noogie after their hug.
"I know! I know! Don't worry about it, there's no one better then Yat-chan anywhere else in the world and if they want the best, they have to come here in order to get it." Naruto said.
"Indeed, I'm proud of you. Now here, I bet you've been wanting this for a while." Yat-chan said as she threw a huge rolled up cloth at Naruto as he caught it before falling down.
"Finally! My piece of work has finally progressed to a point where it can be used in actual purposes." Naruto said rubbing the soft fabric against his cheek.
"Careful Naruto, you don't want to rip up your fabric now do you?" Yat-chan joked as Naruto instantly removed it and kept it at arms distance. "Ahahaha, are you kidding me? After so much work on a piece like that, it's impossible that it would be destroyed with just a couple of rubs and battles."
"True…but still! You scared me…I thought it would really rip after all my hard work." Naruto whined as Yat-chan hit him on the head.
"You little brat, after I patched up your errors, I'd better hope that it wouldn't break with one rub." Yat-chan said as she then started off at her workshop. "Now that you've gotten your stuff, I guess it's about time to leave, so go."
"But…I haven't even been able to…" Naruto said before Yat-chan slammed her work door shutting off their conversation. "Say goodbye…face to face properly…"
"Don't worry about that Naruto, she's probably just too sad to even say goodbye to you properly in the first place, don't let it get to you." The attendant said as she helped Naruto get off to the door to leave.
"But…it doesn't mean she had to slam it in my face!" Naruto said a little bit teary eyed.
"You know how Yat-chan is; she's not good with saying farewell to others." The attendant said before looking at Naruto in a way where he instantly knew not to go any further in the subject.
"I see…well at least tell her my condolences before I leave please." Naruto said to the Attendant before he started walking off with his now usable, but not complete, project.
"…Naruto…please remain safe, I can't bear to see my apprentices dying." Yat-chan said from within her room tears pouring out of her eyes. "I just couldn't let him see the always cheerful me shedding tears just from his leaving."
With Haku…
"CLERU! I'm here to receive my final lesson." Haku said as she ran into the blacksmith shop to see Cleru working on a weapon with Sugar. "Oh…did I come at a bad time…?"
Cleru then grabbed the sword up as Sugar then gave a blast of cold water instantly cooling the sword giving it a soft sparkle.
"Don't worry about it Haku, we were about done with creating the weapon in the first place so there wasn't any problem." Cleru said smiling. "So, are you ready for your last question?"
"Last…question?" Haku asked.
"Yes Haku, last question…as it goes from lessons and how to create weapons, I have taught you all of the necessities, but all I have now besides your own self-teaching is a single question." Cleru asked.
"I'm…ready…I hope." Haku said unsure of the last question, in a way, it got her heart pounding from nervousness.
"Tell me with conviction, I cannot have you answering with doubt, let me ask you once again. Are you ready for the question?" Cleru asked a little more sternly slightly scaring Haku seeing him so serious. After seeing him act so seriously, she decided that it was all or nothing, and she knew she had the knowledge.
"Yes, I am ready for the question." Haku said gathering up all of her courage together to accept the final question.
"What is needed in order to create the best weapon?" Cleru asked looking at Haku. He also signaled Sugar to leave to the room as she would always have a way in order to help Haku out…but he couldn't allow it this time.
"The…best…weapon…?" Haku said as she started to think hard about it. She had already thought up of an answer, but to think of something that fast would surely be wrong when the last question could not be that easy. "A Craftsknight is not his weapon, a Craftsknight is not his skill, a Craftsknight is not his partner. A weapon is created by skill and wielded with the soul. But the glow and creation is developed by the heart! So the weapon is created by the soul and the welded by the convictions of the heart!"
Time had passed by as Haku look sternly at Cleru…but after a couple minutes had passed, she started to look a little worried thinking that her answer might have been wrong. She then started to think a little harder trying to wonder just what was wrong with her answer before opening her mouth to speak. But before she was able to continue, Cleru then interrupted her for the first time during the question.
"HAKU!" Cleru said in a booming voice obviously scaring Haku. "It seems as though you still are lacking within creating a proper weapon. You may realize just how to create a great weapon, but you still do not have that exact trait that you have just said. Do you know what this trait is?"
"Skill…?" Haku said stuttering a little as she spit out an answer.
"No, it is not skill; that is something that is built up over time. That is something no one is ever able to build up to extreme heights, but there is something else that you are lacking." Cleru said pausing a little building up some suspense. "What you lack…is confidence, did you realize that you were stuttering and doubting yourself when you entered the shop. No, you did not; you had also doubted yourself when I had not answered you after time had passed. You did not have enough confidence to reassure yourself that your answer was correct. There are two things that you must remember when creating weapons; there are always new ideas which may work better then your own, and your weapons carry their own value and are always to be considered a true weapon no matter what skill you may have at the time. Do you know what creates your weapon then?"
"Your heart and soul!" Haku said with more confidence.
"No! It is your hammer, you hammer IS your heart and soul. Your body just resonates to the work of the hammer which you use, your soul is what powers the hammer to great lengths, you heart is what guides your hammer to form the correct weapon." Cleru said as he then patted Haku's shoulder softly. "That…is my final question, and with that too, my final lesson. I'm proud to have had you as my apprentice."
Small amounts of tears started to drop slowly down Haku's eyes as she then quickly wiped it off and did the most manly…or in this case womanly, thing to do at the moment. She charged strait into Cleru and gave him a large hug.
"Heh, I'm going to miss you too Haku, but remember, Sugar and I will always be part of the weapons you create." Cleru said as he signaled to Sugar that he was done testing Haku.
"Hello Haku, well, I guess we're not going to see you for a while now I guess." Sugar said a litte sad she couldn't have her fun teasing Haku every time she came over to their smithy.
"I'm going to miss you too Sugar…" Haku said before muttering softly. "Though I won't miss all of your teasing and comments."
"I'm going to miss you too Haku, and remember when you come back with Naruto. I expect to see you with five kids, a loving relationship, a wedding gown, honeymoon pictures, you two kissing when you visit us, and also a sexy and developed body!" Sugar giggled a little after she looked seriously when saying it definitely hitting Haku off her edge.
"SUGAR! Were not going to be like that!" Haku said aloud, "Well…not until were old enough to do those things…"
She then started blushing a deep red as she held her hands together in embarrassment.
"Oh, so it seems our little Haku is growing up, thinking all of these adult thoughts now is she?" Sugar said teasingly.
"Now, now Sugar. You shouldn't tease Haku too much, your partly the cause for the reasons she has thoughts like that." Cleru said before he saw Sugar's grin and flashing eye's fall upon him. "Then…again…you can say what you want."
"Don't worry Haku, by the time you get back, Cleru is going to have many kids with me!" Sugar said as she wrapped her arms around Cleru as he started sweating a little. "Right…honey?"
"Right…!" Cleru said laughing a little weakly with sweat coming down his head looking the other way. "Yes…Kids…right…"
"See! Even Cleru agreed with it. So when we meet again, I expect us both to be married with kids!" Sugar said grinning.
"Me…with Naruto-kun…" Haku blushed as she thought about it before covering her face with her hands trying to rid of all of the dirty thoughts which were forming at an alarming rate.
"Alright Haku, I believe you should be heading home now for your final goodbye since you're leaving tomorrow." Cleru said finally wrapping things up. "As much as I would love for all of us to continue talking, I do believe that you would like to talk with your parents a little more and say your final goodbyes."
"Good thinking!" Haku said quickly as she ran home trying to calm down and rid of the thoughts in her head.
"Oh…they grow so fast." Sugar said swaying side to side with her hands on her cheeks acting cute.
"I think you're mostly the reason for this too." Cleru laughed a little scratching his head.
"Hey! I'm not the only reason why she is like that now, you're also part of it too!" Sugar pouted.
"I know, but I don't regret it once bit, she was a great apprentice." Cleru said as he smiled seeing Haku run off. "I can't wait until she comes back with a weapon created from the legendary material which I gave her."
"I can't wait until we all have kids." Sugar grinned as Cleru sweated and took a step back.
"Can't we…ummm…talk about this a little later?" Cleru said as he started to slowly walk back to his room before getting glomped by Sugar.
"Nope" Sugar giggled as she latched onto Cleru.
As Naruto and Haku finally approached home at nearly the same time, they looked at each other before taking a deep breath and entering the house. Once they entered, they were just about to yell out "I'M HOME" but then, their own words were slammed off by many others.
"WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU TWO WHEN YOU LEAVE!" A LOT of people said as they all packed together within Jill's house as it was littered with decorations saying things like "Farewell party".
"…"
"I'm going to miss being able to hang out with the two of you in peace he said." Kisame said as he was seen easily by the extreme blueness of his skin.
"…" Itachi looked at the two of them giving a slight nod
"He also added that we will try to remain neutral with the two of you and remain in friendly terms as your travel, but cannot help it if we have a mission to confront you." Kisame added to Itachi's words.
"Thanks you two…but how come you're still here within the village. I thought that your vacation was over and that you had to leave." Naruto said.
"Yea kid, but we heard that you were getting a good-bye party and we just would leave without attending it!" Kisame grinned a sharp smiled as he looked a the food on the table.
"…"
"Yea right! You think I just came for the food, of course I came to say good bye to them!" Kisame said to Itachi as he said it out loud mysteriously already being right next to the food stand.
"Don't worry Kisame, all of the food was made in abundance, take you fill." Jill smiled as she told him to dig in.
"ALRIGHT! FOOD HERE I COME!" Kisame seriously looked like jaws at that very time as he grabbed a plate and fork and dug into the food like a professional critic of a buffet.
"…"
"I'm not going to eat everything Itachi! I'll leave some panda snacks for you so don't worry." Kisame said easily pleasing Itachi seeing that he gave a small nod is understanding.
"Thanks…everyone…"Haku said as she was moved that everyone was right there wishing them goodbye.
"Hey Haku, don't worry, we're going to see them again eventually. I stake it on my life, I'm not going to let you get hurt EVER." Naruto grinned.
"Now THAT'S my boy over there!" Jill giggled as she said it out loud.
"A promise from our family is never taken lightly, I know you'll do a fine job Naruto." Jack grinned as Naruto blushed from all of the attention he got from his one line.
" SHALL PREVAIL!" A person we don't need to repeat said. "WHAT? WHY IS MY NAME EDITED OUT, MY JUSTICE IS SO STRONG MY NAME SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN ALL CAPITOL LETTERS. IT IS INJUSTICE NOT TO DO SO!"
"Hahahaha" Everyone laughed out loud creating one of best farewell party for both Haku and Naruto as they now knew they could leave the next day without any regrets.
Author Notes: May I just say…I did not actually expect to not update in such a long time. If I had actually looked at my computer…which I may have been too lazy to do…ehehe, I would have looked at my already almost done chapter which was going to be used for the next update haha.
Anyways…Since I know that there are those who want this to continue, I can try my best to continue this story as well as my newest story. I just didn't like the fact that I left this one a little open when I had already started to write another chapter within the story.
And…If this is NOT the longest chapter I've ever written, I don't know what the heck is ahaha, this whole thing is 5000 words altogether, it's like writing two updates in one!
