I, myself am alone here watching my two kids sleep tonight. My daughter, baby Yuri who is three years old, is on my chest sleeping while gripping my kimono under my robe, sleeping so soundly with no care in the world. My son who is sleeping next to us in his bed with his hand clutching into a fist look so beautiful. He is one years old we named Kenji, i know once he get older he'll be a strong warrior with the strong genes flowing inside him, both of them with my wife's bloodline and mines. I'm proud to be a father but most importantly a dad to my kids. It's been four months without seeing my wife and the pain is real settling at night as i sit up at night and can't sleep. Every time i think of it, i have to think how long will this goes on in our life and keep on moving everyday without you here for these past four months. I miss seeing you, Yuri i don't know how long can i take it without seeing your smile or you laying here with me with our kids. Life has been hard for us for four months that i rarely sleep now. The times i had with you made it all worth while, even when you get mad and the floor starts to crack and when you wipe the air I'm pushed ten feet away. I remember when our daughter was born and she finally opened her eyes, she looked exactly like you that you passed out. She held on to your breast so hard you jumped and when the milk spread on your robe. We knew our daughter will be a tough girl and a fighter like you. When baby Yuri grabbed my finger she broke it and i popped it in place and she was only five months. You laughed at the fact that this was our first time seeing that type of strength on a baby and we were only sixteen years in human time, when we had her. When Junior was born you cried because of our resemblance and faces when we are asleep, baby Yuri couldn't control herself the room shook and the floor cracked in half. She couldn't contain herself it made you laugh so hard, i laughed along with you because your laugh is contagious. The men here was so happy to see another member be born here because now the West have a bigger family to uphold the law. The crew love us here and always ask about the babies while i train them and teach them new ways how to strategize in battle. When you finally settled down and let baby Yuri walk around it amazed us on how fast she built up power and strength when she turned three. I always wondered what helped her get to that power, until i felt it. It was your power. Your bloodline flows in our baby's veins stronger than mines. I can see how fast she adapted to the power as a baby. Your excitement and blushes over that sight showed me you couldn't wait to see baby Yuri grow to see how powerful she'll be at a certain age. Our life was so beautiful seeing everyone here in the West love our kids and stand by them to protect them and see what we see. When your mother saw them she was so proud she cried. When i think of that my blood boils because I can't see you anymore and our babies haven't seen you neither. The love, the scenery, laughs, the cries, the community just united as one just came to an end after that fatal faithful day. Im getting so angry thinking of it baby Yuri powers is getting fired up on my chest, to calm me down because of the ice of my body is bothering her temperature. She grips me harder because she feels the cold coming from me, i rub her back to keep her sleep. I miss you Yuri and i am trying my hardest to be the best dad, without seeing you for these past months. Those good time memories make me want to fight my anger out, but i don't have any strong friends who can battle me, well not as right now. I can remember how your cousin was surprised to see that our babies was strong just by looking at them. He said, "the only babies he saw this strong was Yuri, but only when you turned six." It make my stomach swirl realizing that I can't see you anymore Yuri. Our time together felt endless everyday, knowing you since we were five over fiftteen hundred years ago. We were known for getting strong at a young age, the strong couple coming up, striking fear into our enemies heart when they realize who they were up against. I miss how crazy strong your power energy used to be. It will push the enemies away until you were ready to release form. You made our battles worth every minute standing there watching you move and never miss a beat in your step, swordsmanship was perfect, was taught by one of the best who was the first to beat the strongest woman in the South division. You were one of a kind and was just taking from us. Watching baby Yuri, seeing her face and all i see is.... You, Yuri. These thoughts and memories make it hard for me to sleep at night, the way the kids sleep with ease made me remember how when i will wake up outside in the grass near the Cross River Lake Fiji and when I'll awake you'll be hoovering over me couldn't wait to see me open my eyes and tell me how peaceful i slept with wind blowing and the sun beaming down on us. Our peaceful life that we lived with disappeared in a matter of a day. If i was there you would of lived out your life with me right now. The pain of you gone forever, not ever seeing our kids grow, can't see the progress of our family evolving. That day if i didn't go out the city district to pick up food and gifts for us we wouldn't have this problem. I picked out the best oranges you liked along with pineapples and sweet candy, the same way you did when we were kids. If i haven't had left that day and stayed, we could of fought together and beat them, we could of stayed as a family and watch our kids grow, we would of had more memories and laughs over the battle with them. The fact it was four of them and you took out one of them when you could of done more, i know you were ambushed from the start of your battle. The fear you put in the battlefield make you a level 0 threat here in the West Division Union. As a man i take this and walk this path alone with the biggest regret of my life without question, i have to make things right and seek out the revenge for you Yuri. I can't let this go until i do this for us, for our kids, for my pride. You smiling at me on your death bed, giving me reassurance that i will prevail and show our kids how they can be lead by a strong leader kills me because i wanted you by my side to see through it all. I couldn't afford to lose you but yet i did while our daughter cried for you because she haven't seen your face make it harder through the day i had to let her visit Rosa a lot more to have a mother figure in her life. I'll never forgive myself for leaving you there to lose without any help. Remembering that day hurt me a lot that dark path of remembrance i have when i look back at that day, let me revisit to recall all the things i could of done to let me know i should of came home early to battle with you. My point of view that day was peaceful and lovely because you wanted something to make you happy to get your day going with the babies. I didn't know I'll be gone long from the trip but when i do these errands for you, it make me happy to see you happy to see me come back home. Greeting with kisses and hugs from you and baby Yuri. All the good stuff i remember with us having a nice morning together, feeding the babies, eating a big breakfast with the crew, going through our usuals with the people with us. That morning felt like it was going to be different then and i just didn't see it, nothing gave me a feeling of it, but it was too good of a day which i should of known. Walking down memory lane at night always set the tone of the night for me. I wish things can change the way i wish it can, but it won't and it can't. Only if i had thought something will happen or had a gut feeling, but the day was too beautiful for me to see it. I apologize for everything Yuri, I'm sorry that i couldn't protect the one person i was SUPPOSED to in my life for the family. I may be a failed husband to that degree, but I'll be a good Dad to our kids, we are all we got left and i promise to make sure they can see the light of day as they grow and get stronger with me.
