Amaya Ray was 7 months into her pregnancy and yet no word on Itachi or Shichi. Her heart was shattered like the mirror she broke in the bathroom during a raging mood swing. She was completely isolated in this one story house all by herself. Somedays the silence would be the worse torture she'd go through besides the absence of them both..she knew it wouldn't be long before they would return. Yet..the last time she saw Itachi, 6 months ago,he said he had something he needed to settle. The memory was as warm as sun beaming down through the window pane upon them. Itachi gently kissed her forehead. With a strong embrace, a deep strong embrace, he held Amaya close to his beating chest. She couldn't shake the feeling he wasn't coming back.. It was just a fight within herself if she hoped any differently.
Shichi was on a mission that seemed to take forever, for his age, being an Uchiha and doing D ranked missions. Amaya would wake up in a frantic attack after having nightmares of her son getting brutally killed on his way back home. She would talk to others about her worries and ask around about the latest missions if she knew who to trust.
She lay in bed staring at the ceiling, thinking about her unborn child. She placed her hand on her stomach thinking of all the wonderful memories that will be made. She thought of how excited Shichi will be once he comes home to find himself a big brother. Not knowing how he would take it,being Shisui's child, she wouldn't know how it would affect him knowing how his father died at the hands of his half sibling father. His stepfather in other words- or if he would see Itachi that way at all.
Itachi doesn't want anyone to know he is the father of this child, not even his own brother until the baby's born or when Shichi is back..incase anything goes wrong. (Ahem,with family disapproval that is.) There are very few people who she could trust if no one. Itachi also told her if she is found out, to keep the child safe until her son's back to help.
Amaya pulls herself out of bed slowly. She gets up and walks to her makeup dresser looking at her reflection, in the only mirror that's not broken. She pulls her messy, long hair around to brush it. Her hair was a dazzling white, the color brought out her tan, sun kissed skin and sky blues.
While brushing her hair she went deep in thought, 'I wonder if Sasuke were to know Itachi's true plan..I wonder how different it would be, if they actually did get along. Maybe then I wouldn't have to be quiet about the baby." Something just then came across her mind. Her eyes widened. She almost forgot her appointment! The hospital was just down the road, thank goodness. Glancing up at the clock by her unmarked calendar, she had to be there in 15 minutes. She carelessly twisted her hair up into a messy bun, threw off her nightie and slipped on her paternity dress.Amaya walked as fast as her stomach let her to the fridge where a chicolat pastry was from last night. She stuffed her face, grabbed her purse and out she went.
At the entrance of the Konoha Hospital a man with grey hair, sitting on the bench looked up from his book. He smiled through his mouth mask and nodded at her. Amaya stopped and smiled politely back. She noticed the way his headband was covering his eye. Not always being outside and seeing the different styles some of the ninja have she queried, "Sir. Do you know your headbands on crooked?"
Now his face seemed pretty priceless, 'is she for real?' he thought. "Yes. It's my style. I use it to cover my eye." The wind picked up loose dirt blowing it around a bit. "My name is Kakashi Hatake." Kakashi stood up and wiped the dirt off his book. He walked over to Amaya, noticing how shy she was and possibly a bit on the nervous side. He put his hand out for her to shake. She looked at him and chuckled. She softly shook his hand. "Do you know chocolates on your face?" he laughed.
Amaya's face turned red as she scrambled in her purse for her mini traveling mirror. She pulled it out and flipped it open to see chocolate smeared on her cheek and nose. She twirls a loose ringlet like a shy little girl. "um..Well that's just my style?" Amaya says breaking the ice..Kakashi raises his eyebrow as they exchange laughs. She pulls out a tissue and wipes her face clean. "Well. I'm Amaya Rayzukai. Id chat more with you, though I'll be late to my appointment."
She walks into the entrance and Kakashi catches up. He offers to walk with her. Her, thinking it was a bit odd, agreed anyway. They walked to the check in desk, just then a pink haired lady with a red dress comes up to them. Amaya steps back as Kakashi and her start to chat." oh. Kakashi Sensei..who is this pretty lady you're with? It's not often I catch you with one." She introduces herself as Sakura Haruno. Amaya politely dismisses herself to go to her appointment.
Her appointment lasted a good 25 minutes. The doctor told her during the ultrasound that baby was growing very healthy..and quickly. "would you like to know the gender? You must be anxious to know." She was desperately hoping Itachi would be home to know the baby's gender so she waited for him all this time until now. Either way she had a sick and deepening feeling it would never happen. Amaya nodded, "It looks like a very healthy boy." she smiled at the sound of her son's heartbeat.
