Destined To Save Me

Chapter 3

The whole ride home for Kiba was very uncomfortable and quite. He could not think as to why it was Iruka picking him up and not his mom. His paranoia was very high but since he knew the man somewhat it made him a little more at ease. Once they arrived at the Inuzuka household the silence was broken by Kiba.

"So Iruka why were you picking me up and not my ma? It is a little strange so what is going on? Glaring at the older brunet with enough fury to make the average person cringe and whimper from the intensity causing them to spill their guts, which was what Kiba was hoping for.

Iruka could feel the sweat build on his brow from the look on Kiba face he was not going to let this go and to say he was kind of nervous of the young Inuzuka was an understatement. He could tell that Kiba was so Tsume child because she is the only one who could release a look of pure malice.

"I see the apple does not fall far from the tree. You can stop giving me that look you are getting nothing out of me. Your mom would have my balls in a sling if I say anything more." Cold chills ran down Iruka's spine at the thought of pissing off Tsume.

"Hmm… Fine I still want to know what is going on so someone better tell me."

Kiba may not look or acts like it but he was very protective of his family. Tsume may seem rough and tough on the outside but she frailer than she lets on. Kiba would do anything to keep her from feeling any amount of pain be it from physical or mental pain.

He still remembers what happened that night that destroyed their happy family and crushed his mother. He could never forget the broken look on her face, right down to the hours the sibling spent with their mother trying to build her back up from herself hate and depression.

It was July twenty-fifth two weeks before his seventh birthday.

Kiba awoke again late at night while the moon was still full and shining its pale blue light trough his window. The next thing the young Inuzuka heard was a loud crash and the yelling of his mother to his father. Kiba clinched his little stuffed husky tightly to his chest, squeezing his eyes shut in hopes not to hear anymore yelling.

"Don't you dare try to deny it I saw you, you piece of shit." Tsume yelled not caring if she woke the people living next door, she was pissed at her husband she would not be quiet until he heard her and felt her fist.

"Come on baby you are crazy I would never. I have a loving family, a son and a beautiful daughter, a kind sweet wife. Why would I destroy that with some fuzzy? You know I love you baby come on think."

"Think?! You want me to think? Ok… How about I think of how I want you out of the house and out of my life?

All the noise woke not just Kiba but also Hanna who was eavesdropping form the other side of the living room, fight down tears. For an eight year old she was very smart and understood more than what most adult thought.

"What? I am not leaving and that is final!" Raising his voice. "I will not leave I have every right to be here and this is my house."

"Fine then I am leaving and I am taken the kids. Don't think I did not over hear what you said to your little bitch." Growing madder by the second subconsciously she grabs their wedding photo off the mantle, throwing it right at his face.

He just barely moves out of the way from the picture. "What are you talking about? I didn't say anything to anyone." He defends.

"Bull." Her face getting redder, panting in her response. "I will leave her just say the word. I don't really love her. The only reason I am with her and her bad attitude is so I can claim the rats on my taxes. That and her old man had me a gun point to marry her and take care of the brats I didn't want." Tsume yells impersonating her husbands' voice.

Not even thinking that one of her little babies was in the room. She looks to the right and see a small figure hiding behide the Easy boy in the far corner. She gasps as Hanna runs up the stairs crying. At this point Kiba was at the top of the stairs and heard every word, seeing his sister crying set him off as well. Hanna grabbed Kiba pulling him into a bone crushing hug she was not too sad about their dad but she saw Kiba holding back tears this pulled at her heart, her little brother so upset because he was unloved by their father.

Tsume stopped fighting with her dead beat ex as far as she was concerned. Tsume took off run after Hanna seeing her hold tight to her brother Tsume pieced together why she was crying it was for Kiba not herself. Pulling her kids to her chest picking them up trying to soothe her crying children whispering it is okay over and over again walking to their rooms.

"Go grab your suitcases and pack as much as you can and be quick we have to go." She whispered into their ears before putting them down.

Her husband finally pulled himself from his stupor grabbing a knife from the kitchen and slowly walked up the stair to their shared room to see Tsume packing a suitcase full of clothes and zipping it shut walking over to her nightstand to grab her car keys.

"I won't let you ruin what I worked so hard to get." He seethed.

"What?" Tsume slowly turned.

Tsume had a fraction of a second to move, throwing herself across the bed to dodge the knife cutting her night shirt wide open, almost slicing her chest. She panics never has her husband attacked her or even raise a hand to her even if she may have deserved. He had hugged her and soothed her. This man was not her husband no she refused to believe her gentle husband would do this try to kill her.

"What are you doing? What do you mean?" Tsume trying to keep calm and assess the situation using the police training he had gone through all those hours to gain.

His face was red with anger branding the knife again to stab, slash her. The door opens and a young Kiba walks in to help his mom pack only to draw the attention of his crazed father.

With a yell the man runs at Kiba ready to kill him. Tsume see this running to cut him off see she won't make it she jumps grabbing the man's legs tripping him. The sound of Kiba scream has Tsume's heart stopping.

Her thoughts were. "Please to ok please! Don't let my baby be dead please!" Praying to wherever god was out there that Kiba was okay.

Kiba could not understand what happened he saw his dad running at him only to be tackled by his mom he was so confused, then the pain, he screamed never had he felt such pain in his young life. Taken a look down he could see the knife imbedded into his right side just above his hip bone deeply stuck in there. Crying was all he could do. Falling down on his back knocking what little air he had left in his lungs after screaming. Color starting to burr on him, he could just making out his sister hunched over him crying shaking him trying to keep him awake. Feeling light as air only hearing the wind whip by his ears he blacked out, waking to see Tsume running with tears streaming down her face, his vision blacking out again so seeing nothing.

"Hey Kiba yo you okay?" Came Iruka's voice though his deep thought sounding a little worried if not shocked one minute Kiba was talking the next he had a blank look and poor Iruka thought something was very wrong.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts enough to give a proper answer and not make a fool of himself. "Yeah fine… Just thinking is all… What were we talking about again?"

"We are here. Are you sure you are okay? You spaced out kinda hard core." Still a little bit taken back by what happened he made a mental note to ask Tsume what all that was about. He had a feeling this was not the first time he had spaced out like that.

"Yeah thanks for the ride."

"Sure." Following him in the house walking a few feet behind Kiba beginning to feel nervous again hoping Kiba would take the news well, not wanting to get into a fight. The kid was built like a small tank compared to most twenty year old men. He had a feeling if Kiba wanted to he could quiet literally throw him out a window or threw one.

Once inside they started to walk into the kitchen through the double swinging doors into the living room where Tsume was sitting. Iruka walked passed Kiba to sit next to her and hold her hand.

"Ok what is going on?" Kiba stated looking shocked at the display.

"Well son take a look at this."

Bringing her left hand up slowly showing a gold ring with seven small diamond leading to a clear beautifully cut diamond that looked very expensive. Kiba did not know what to think, he didn't even know that she was dating Iruka but it all made sense to him now.

"Mom how long have you been together and why did you not tell me sooner?"

Iruka hugging her around the middle smiled. "About five years and there is a diamond for each year we known each other. The large one is her wedding one that I had Hanna help pick out for her."

"What Hanna knew too? What the hell? Why was I not told?" Slowly starting to get angry about the whole thing not only was their relationship a secret but they told Hanna and kept him in the dark about it. Like they could not trust him with the truth sure he could beat up just about anyone but his mother was damn scary so there was no way he would go against her and if it made her happy he was happy.

"Oh please boy if you knew you would have tried to scare him off not to mention you don't trust men I bring home. Remember Hidan you broke his arm and fractured his cheek bone sure he was a jerk with a thing for pain but really Kiba he was in the hospital for a week." Tsume stated trying to hide the smile from the memory and see was proud, he was so much like her when she was young.

Sighing. "Fine as long as you are happy then I am too. So when is the wedding?"

"In a few months, maybe September." Came the response from Iruka.

"You're not pregnant are you? Is that why it is so close?" Hiding his grin from the pair waiting for the explosive response from his mom that would signal his exit because he was uncomfortable seeing his mom all mushy and blushing.

"WHAT? WHY WOULD YOU THINK I AM PREGNANT? WHY YOU LITTLE?"

Iruka thinking fast tighted his grip and watched as Kiba laughed and fled the room while he tried to calm down Tsume from beating the youngest Inuzuka child to a pulp.

Kiba made it to his room in good time locking the door and falling into his bed. Still could not believe that his mom was dating Iruka and now was going to marry him. It was weird, today had to be one of the worst and best days of his life. Best because that hot little number who came into the store and the worst because his mom was getting married again.

The brunette was feeling a little down thinking about the wedding also made him think more about his so called father further. His chest was tight like someone had ripped his heart out, those memories he would never forget or be able to let go of the pain from them. Just when his thoughts were turning dark his phone rang, fighting to pull the small cell from his pocket to see who it was. He saw a number he did not know so he answered it as quick as he could.

"Hello."
