Child's Fear
It was storming on 7/11/11 when this idea popped into my head. Masashi Kishimoto-sensei owns Naruto.
A crack of lightning with the familiar sound of thunder shook the house that the Uchiha leader and his family lived in.
Ducking his head under the covers once more, Itachi held onto his four-year-old brother as another flash of lightning poured out of the heavens and into the air.
"Sasuke?" Mikoto called, looking for her youngest son. Opening the door, she let the candle's light flood in to see the hunched over ball under the covers of her eldest son's bed. Walking over, she flipped the covers back to see her frightened children.
"Don't do that Oka-san." Itachi complained as his own ebony eyes showed the fear the storm brought on. If it was his father then he would have gotten an earful about being scared.
"Are you two scared of a little storm?"
They nodded and hugged each other when a loud rumble of thunder came again. It blocked out the sound of the pouring ran for a second or two.
"I'll tell you a story that your grandparents told when I was little." She spoke, sitting down on the side of the bed.
They scooted over, one on each side as they hugged her for comfort.
"There was this big cat named Rai that was the pet of a god named Raichi. One day, the master was hurt and started hitting lights to release his anger. To help, Rai roared to cover the man's screaming." Mikoto explained with a smile. Looking down at her sons, she noticed they were calmer, almost in a dazed trans.
"Now get to sleep. It'll be over soon." She said with her body leaving the two in the room to go to her own bed.
"Nii-san can I sleep with you tonight?" Sasuke questioned as his older brother went under the covers with his head poking out.
"Sure Sasuke." Itachi replied and opened the covers for his brother. Once his brother was under, he closed the covers and rolled over to get to sleep.
So how was it? Please review.
