Chapter 2 - Chance To Live Again

After an undetermined amount of time, Natalia slowly opened her eyes and found herself in the dark but not too far from a light source as her instincts drew her towards it. Then she started to think. 'Didn't I die from the explosion with that bustard? Where am I? Is this hell? It is really dark. This should be one of torture methods in the hell right? After all I killed many people including myself. It doesn't matter, I'm still not regret about that.' She slowly closed her eyes as she know she have to endure this. Then she suddenly felt something pulling her into that source of light as she is also calmly went for that.

After a while she felt her head stuck on something. Then suddenly a weird thought stuck on her mind. 'No... don't tell me I'm in a womb now?! No way! Then what about my memories shouldn't they wiped out when I reincarnated? What the heck?' She almost sweared. Then she felt her eyes became heavy and then she fell a sleep.

After a long struggle, eventually she was born. Her movements towards the light was assisted along the way by the red haired beautiful woman who gave birth to her. She was in a great deal of pain, but she looked at her with eyes full of care as her looks warmed her long dried heart. It's was maternal love! After seeing that her heart almost became very soft as she want to hug her. She still felt the longing for maternal and paternal love from her parents.

Then she remembered her deceased parents from the previous life then her heart became heavy. Then she felt the time around her was stopped. As she saw her long deceased parents looking at her with a loving gaze.She tried to touch them. But there was an invisible barrier between them. Then she looked at their faces. She didn't see any changes as they already experienced that barrier before.

"So it's you who gave me this chance to live again. Right?" She spoke.

"Yes and no" the man spoke. "Little Nat you sacrificed too many things for us"

"I did it with my own accord you know? I never regret about them." She smiled lightly.

"I know sweetie you still trying to cling to us. You should let go of us. Now you will have a good family again, so you don't need to worry." The woman placed her hand on the barrier. "Actually your soul is little different from us. Like our souls are incompatible. Now I can see it clearly. Your soul isn't from our world to begin with. You are belong to here. That's why you could preserve your memories about your previous life" The woman showed something.

"I see" after seeing the difference she felt weird. "So you want to erase my memories?"

"No we can't do that." The man shook his head. "But we will vanish from yout memories. Otherwise we will be bound to your soul forever. We aren't compatible with here as our souls are very delicate. And it will harm you too. So when the time resume, according to your soul memories the previous Natalia is a orphan and she became a military agent. She killed herself to protect her country." The man smiled faintly. "Seems like it is the time to go. Natalia, I'm very proud of you. There might be a chance that you will remember us. If that happened, don't be sad ok. Live a happy life and achieve your dream that you really want" he smiled gently.

The woman also looked at her tenderly. As their figures started to blur and vanished. "So I just returned to the place I should belong. Mom, dad,Thank you. I am very honoured to be your daughter." She closed her eyes slowly. There was happiness, sadness and relief mixed in her face.

Then everything started be lively. Natalia looks at the the red haired woman who gave birth to her. She felt sense of belonging towards her. 'I guess I should have thank to that bustard Noel. Because of him I will have parents in this life. I can avoid so much troubles. And I don't have to worry much. Seems like it will be good. And I don't have to earn money in such a young age like previously.' Natalia relieved. She remembered how much she suffered in the orphanage since she was so young.

Then she saw a man with spiked long hair came to the room. 'He should be my dad. Why is there something very familiar about him?' She chose to ignore that feeling. And looked at them curiously.

Then she felt someone pinching her cheek. Natalia frowned with displeasure. Then she heard the midwife mentioned someone whose name Mito. Then the familiar feelings that she ignored surfaced again. She saw an old woman who had one white eye and purple hair took her from midwife. Natalia looked at her curiously. Then she heard her name is Tsukiho. 'Ok that name sound good'

Then she heard the explanation for her name from the old lady. After listening to it she almost had tears in her eyes. Then she heard she mentioned Senju ,Uzumaki and Uchiha. She stunned like her whole body felt she was electrocuted. For a moment her mind became a blank. Then only one sentence appeared in her mind. 'No way, I'm screwed'

Then the realization struck her. 'So I am in the naruto world!..no no no that the naruto world is real.' She remembered the anime that she watch again and again. 'Even though I like naruto world, this is so bad. But first what the hack with Uchiha and Uzumaki? This was never in the plot. Ah!.....whatever, the thing is the naruto world is real. No way right?' For a moment her mind became a mess.

'Whatever is most important thing is I am alive again. Sigh... it's good to be alive. Anyway now I know that staying in a exploding villa is really bad. I won't do it in the future anyway.' Then she looked at the kind old lady's face carefully.

The old lady noticed her gaze as she started to tease her. Seeing that Tsukiho became speechless. 'Never mind, calm down! you can't be so unreasonable. I'm just a baby and also she is really like you. So you should like her too.' Tsukiho smiled at her while brainwashing herself.

Seeing the baby smiled at her unlike other new born babies that tend to sleep in order to adopt, the old lady understood that this baby girl isn't an ordinary one. She put aside that thought as she didn't care about Tsukiho normal or not because she is her own beloved granddaughter.

Tsukiho taken aback by the old lady's genuinely affection filled gaze that doesn't have any trace of negative emotions. She understood that gaze very well. Even though she grew up in an orphanage, she had more than enough love from the sisters in there.

Seeing that very familiar gaze, she decided to treat her as her own family without any psychological barrier.

Because of that she slowly closed her eyelids and slowly fell sleep in the arms of the old lady. The old lady slowly and gently put her in the cradle.Then she sighed softly. "Naka see, this is the granddaughter that you always wished for. After I give the future for my girl I'll look for you" she slowly swang the cradle.
