Just Try Me
The baby wiggled in her arms helplessly.
As baby girls go she was as cute as any to her mother and hospitle staff. There was nothing wrong with her. There was the right amount of toes and fingers. Her deep blue/gray eyes stared in pure innocence.
There was no sign she was the daughter of a monster.
No way anybody could tell the harmless little girl was a creation between the Jonin Ten-Ten and the enemy of her village Orochimaru.
The Hokage knew who the father was, but as a friend Naruto had told her to just raise the child with love. And if any consequences came up in the following years the village would stand and fight like always for one of their own.
It hadn't been a choice Ten-Ten had made, this child. In a simple mission an ambush had been sprung and she'd been knocked out. Throughout her imprisonment she'd bairly been lucid for more then a day or two. When she did wake up it was to the gate guards of Konoha.
It wasn't too long afterwards she found out about the pregnacy and started to piece together some of her drugged memories.
She'd told Lee, Neji and Gai-sensei what she knew and had been steared to Naruto. It wasn't until Naruto had said the child was no more evil then Ten-Ten herself was because of the crimes of the sire that she'd thought of keeping the tiny life inside of her.
Naruto knew just as well as she did the child was no doubt part of a plot but as of now, sitting in the backless gown Sakura had pushed into her arms upon arrivel, holding her daughter, Orichimaru's daughter, nothing of a plot mattered to Ten-Ten.
Nothing mattered besides the small child in her arms that meant she was a mother. And even though she'd only been one for a handful of hours Ten-Ten already understood that crushing love that true mothers felt. The kind that caused them go through nine months of discomfort, labor, and have more than one.
She'd never understood before. Had even disliked her little sister for years because their mother had died giving birth to her.
But now holding her own daughter she understood her mother, and her acceptince of death for Timina.
Holding her child as she cooed she felt no fear of any plot anybody held for her daughter. She felt safe knowing whatever was in the future for them it would fail.
They'd made a mistake she'd make sure they'd never forget. Never challange a true mother's love for her child.
And never challange the Jonin Weapons Mistress of Konoha. Especaily when your threatening the child she loves to death, dispite the father.
"Little koishii never fear. My greatest weapon outmatches anything they have waiting since they left you with me."
The tiny girl nodded off and Ten-Ten knew she was right.
"Just try and take her away from me, I dare you," she challanged.
The End
