….
-Misune (Yami's Mother) POV-
…..
While lying here in bed not knowing whether today will be the day that someone comes to the door with the news that my son is dead… my hair is a little disheveled and I have gotten thinner from the stress...
When I was younger I used to consider myself the luckiest woman in the world… I was married to a Shinobi who made a lot of money and was very powerful and during the peace times, death of a Chunin in missions was almost nonexistent … then in a day just like this the news came of my husband's death…
I recently heard stories of Yami's achievements… how he ended the war against Sand Village and all that… but he will always be my little baby boy…
When he was younger he was always such a nice kid… he never cried too much neither was he too naughty… he was just a normal sweet kid… I remember like it was yesterday when he came and asked me to teach him how to write and read… he was only three back then… I was so proud of him but also a little curious what my little angel was doing with that knowledge of his...
I got that answer the next week when during my birthday he gave me flowers and a card with his bad handwriting…
{To the best mother in the world
LoVe yOu
-FrOm: YaMi}
I can't help as some tears fall from my eyes… he is such a sweet kid... I don't want him to die in this war… I knew I shouldn't have let him go to the Ninja Academy… I knew something like this would happen… By guiding him in a career that he is destined to die… it's the same as killing him with my own two hands…
All alone in this empty house… Tsume who is such a sweet child comes around but… lately when I asked her about Yami she seemed a little nervous and she kept stuttering… Tsume is an amazing girl but… she is also a terrible liar.
Something happened to Yami and she isn't telling me. I am now expecting everyday… to hear the bad news...
….
-(Yami POV)-
….
I am walking together with Tsume towards my mother's house. Tsume looks at me and says.
"You know I asked her multiple times to come live with me. But she always said that she likes it in the small house, and that it reminds her of you."
I then act a little sad and nod towards Tsume.
After I finish this greeting with mother, I need to go and start working on a prosthetic arm… then with me at 100% I can confidently ask Danzo about the 'thing'. I still have some blueprints from when I studied Chiyo's puppets. I will look through the research scroll and try to make an arm that will be able to allow me to at least use Tsunade's Super Strength technique with it.
When I get closer to my house I can sense my ... mother's chakra weakening.
Sh*t is that b*tch about to die… she can't die yet… I need her to be alive for dangerous people like Danzo and the others to think that they have an advantage against me. I need them to think that I have a weakness and an attachment to the village...
I then start running towards the house leaving Tsume behind and I hear Tsume loudly tell me.
"Hey Yami why are you rushing…"
But I leave her behind to follow me…
As soon as I arrive in the house I immediately go inside her room and see her there. Disheveled hair, thin body and void eyes… holy sh*t… is she depressed or something, I can guess that she is probably depressed about me but c'mon can't she be a little more strong willed. I am not even dead yet. I mean I don't even have my family in this world and you don't see me b*tching about it..
I immediately use a diagnosis jutsu on her… ok so she is healthy… but just a little weak… then when she sees me… her eyes gain life again and she immediately sits up from her bed and envelops me in a powerful hug… I could feel her tears falling on my shoulder…
I just hug her back and smile while telling her.
"You shouldn't have worried for nothing mother. Your son is powerful and a hero… so there is no need to worry about me… also I am not going to war anymore.."
I then use a subtle Genjutsu on her before she notices my arm… I don't want her to have a cardiac arrest or anything like that… it would be very troublesome to heal her back…
Then Tsume finally arrives while breathing heavily. Then when my mother sees Tsume she just smiles at her..
"I see so you are back from your C rank mission
Tsume."
Then my 'mother' looks at me and says while smiling.
"Isn't she cute Yami… she was so nice to me while you were gone Yami she even helped me cook."
Then I notice 'mother' secretly making an okay sign towards Tsume… who blushes profoundly…
I just smile slightly while seeing their interactions. Wasn't she very depressed a couple of seconds ago… what a drag..
….
…
After some catching up and me still maintaining my Genjutsu in my mother for her to not notice my missing arm… then I look towards Tsume while eating some food that mother made. I then say to Tsume.
"So you have become a Genin now huhh…"
She just nods while eating. Then she tilts her head like she remembered something and she takes something from her ninja pouch and ties it around her neck. Then she looks at me and while smiling she says.
"Tadahh…"
I just look calmly at her… and go back to eating without saying anything… it's really fun to mess with Tsume.
When she sees that I didn't say anything to her she then gets a little nervous and says.
"S -So how does it look."
I look away from my food and back at Tsume.
"It was a smart decision to put it in your neck."
I unconsciously touch my neck, where the scar that the Raikage left when he almost chopped off my head. Though like all of my scars they are covered under my transformation jutsu that I keep on at all times to cover my ugly scars.
Then I notice Tsume smiling slightly at me and she says.
"I know right. Most people put in their forehead but that would cover my hair and that wouldn't look as good."
..Oh right… I am used to ninja war veterans doing everything to protect their weak points… Tsume probably hasn't even gone in one war mission. If my dates are correct , her graduation should have been just recently.
My mother just looks at Tsume and me talking… she keeps smiling in silence while seeing us act like this.
….
Like this we all keep having some small talk until it becomes night time. Even though I don't want to… to keep up my act I still ask my mother if she wants to come live with me and she…. says yes… ohhh…. *sigh* this will be such a pain...
….
…
Then when we arrive at the house I look at my mother and tell her.
"You can choose any guest room you want mother."
She just smiles and nods… then she goes upstairs. Tsume goes to do her own things in her room. Most likely fall asleep… I should sleep too… this has been a VERY stressful day… but before that I need to reorganize some plans for the prosthetic arm…
I go into my lab door and put my hand on it and a… seal arey appears all around the door and the seal burns off allowing me to go inside.
I look around and all seems normal. The self destruct sequence is not broken and neither is the alarm… and the barrier seal is also not broken and neither is the notification seal or the second self destruct sequence...
There is some dust around but everything else seems okay… I guess no one was able to break in even if they tried they wouldn't really get anything from it except a destroyed room.
Then as I summon three clones to clean this up…
..
After five minutes everything is clean again… then suddenly I hear a knock on the door…
"Can I come in."
So it's Tsume… what does she want at this time.
"Sure come on in."
When she comes in I see that she is wearing a green kimono and she seems to be blushing…
I see that she is nervous so she then pulls down her kimono on one shoulder… then while stuttering she says.
"S- S- So since you lost an arm… I understand that you might die one day. So since you are the most talented in K -Konoha. I have read some books a -and… S -SO LET'S HAVE A BABY TOGETHER."
