Hello! After a long break, I'm finally up with a new fic! :D
I have written seven chapters, this sorta prologue included, and I have the ending worked out. So, if not something totally unexpected happens, I will update quickly!
Though, I have no update schedule at the moment...so...
Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than the idea!
Read and enjoy~!"
She had long ago lost her sight but Hinata still knew who it was that came through the door of her little shop, sprinting towards her with small but eager steps.
She stopped knitting and laid it aside, just as she heard; "Granny, guess what!"
She turned her head and smiled, though seeing anything other than black, and asked, "What?" towards where she knew her grandchild was standing.
"I'm getting a little sister! Mom said I was getting a little sister!" she heard his octaves rise and guessed he was too happy to care he was practically shouting.
"Really?" she asked, faking surprise, though she had known it a week before her own daughter had the slightest clue.
"Yes!" the child cried out, jumping by the sound of feet landing on the floor and Hinata let out a small laugh of his antics.
"I'm a big brother…soon. Granny, do you know when she will come?" he asked, and couldn't hide his anticipation.
"Hmm…she will come when she's ready, and I think she will be ready in a few more months. Now Hikaru; can an old woman get a hug from her grandchild?"
Hands desperately climbed up her legs before they settled on her lap. Hinata smiled and helped him up, hearing his voiceless plea. Seconds later she was engulfed in a hug, hair she knew was the bright colour of red teasing her nose before his head settled on her shoulder.
The old woman and her grandchild stayed like this for a while, silently enjoying the embrace before Hikaru asked curiously, "Granny, how did you get the scar on your ring finger?"
To further show what he meant, a small hand brushed her right ring finger, where she knew a thin white scar ran around where rings used to be.
"Oh this?" she asked, though she already knew that it was, "I got it a long time ago."
"Why?"
"It's a long story…"
"I've got time. Mom went to the mall; it will be hours until she's done shopping."
Hinata smiled then, and ruffled his hair. "Do you really want to know?"
He nodded, though she couldn't see it. She went silent; remembering a time long ago that had been forgotten though was easy to remember again.
"Granny?" Hikaru asked, she had been silent for a while now, and children didn't like silence much.
"Huh?"
"When…why did you get the scar… how?" it was as he was afraid to ask.
"It's a long story," she repeated, getting an impatient "I know" back.
". . . I feel in love. And as you will experience in some years; love will leave a mark. Mine was this scar," she brushed it to show him, "and a few, more invisible marks than normal people."
So, what do you think? Does it sound interesting? I will probably have the next chapter, (chapter 1), ready tomorrow, so the next update comes quick. :D
Please tell me what you think! :D
