I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! OR ANY OF THE CHARECTERS!
Except My OC's!
Ok so here it is. The New Story I promised on my old account! The very First
on this Acount! Simply entitled…
Letting Go.
"One of these days I'm going to let you go. It might be tomorrow, next month, or next year but I now realize you will never look at me the way I looked at you." I say this but I don't mean it. And he knows it. I stand their seething with anger, as he sits calmly and stares out the open window. A child's laughter can be heard from outside. Not just any child's laughter, our child's, our son's laughter. The tears, hot, threaten to spill out of frustration. But I won't allow him the satisfaction of seeing me cry again, at least, not here, not now. Maybe… long ago, I would have broken down, fell into his arms and pleaded with him to just hold me. But I have to be strong now, for Kibou.
"How has he been?" he asks, ignoring the problem.
"Fine." he's running like always, pretending everything's fine.
"How has his…" Before he finishes, I respond knowing what he's going to ask.
"His training is progressing normally" he looks disappointed. "Not everyone can be a genius, Itachi." I don't mean it to, but it comes out harsh and spiteful.
Silence.
He turns to me, and takes a deep breath. I know what he wants to asks…What happened to you, to us, to what could have been…but he won't. He won't let anyone in, anyone. My emotions are getting the better of me, and the questions come poring out.
"What do you do when your life is falling apart, right before your eyes? ... But you're not allowed to cry? Do you just sit there and pretend that everything is okay? Please explain this to me Itachi!" I say increasing my voices volume slightly. "HOW CAN YOU SIT THERE AND PRETEND EVERYTHINGS OK!"
He looks at me from the corner of his eye as he watches Kibou play.
"Nothing is ever ok, Chihiro". He states plainly. "I'm going to say goodbye to Kibou before I leave". He walks from the window to the door, passing by me without so much as a look, not even a glance. I hear the back door close gently and walk to the ruby curtained window. I stare out as he walks across the small field that is our back yard. Kibou spots him and runs over, excitedly. I can not fathom how his small body can hold all that energy. Itachi squats down, says something to him, Kibou looks at him soaking in every word. Itachi then very sweetly kisses Kibou's forehead. A last goodbye for his son perhaps? And it hits me.
"He's not coming back". I whisper to myself, so quietly I don't even think it made a sound.
I don't know what did it, but something snapped, and the faucets began to leak. I brought my hands to my cheeks and began to wipe the tears away. At least he wasn't watching me cry this time.
So, what do you think? Shall I continue? Or not?
Be completely honest with me.
