Sorry, I was gone so long, I tend to do that don't I? To be fair though I put a teaser at the end of Accident, so you knew I was updating soon... =.='
Anyway let's see Review Replies :
crisscross: I updated! I hope you enjoy it.
Map-chan: -nervous laughter- I updated after a month and some change. Does that count as quickly? You think my story is nice? Kya! I'm blushing.
Kinkou: I love how you stay with my despite my horrible updating times. I really need to work on that, huh? I really glad you enjoyed the funnies. I want to make people laugh every once in awhile.
Once I was sure Tsukuyomi was sleeping I walked into my room heading straight to bed. As always I fell into bed with a content sigh though as soon as I hit the bed I just wanted to sleep.
Normally, I had a little bit more energy at the end of the day, but I was so tired with everything going on. It had been two days since to the Pein thing and ever since than I had been overly protective and paranoid. How could I not? I was just acting like any parent would do.
I was scared-no! - Petrified of losing her. Here in the darkness of my room it my fears consumed me. She was everything to me. How could I go on without hearing her laughter?
How could go on without seeing her every morning and every night? How could I go on not hearing her say, "I love you Mommy." How could I go on without her quirks, like her saying "dattebane?"
My Tsukuyomi was forever entwined with my life. She probably didn't remember, but one time we were shopping in UsAcHaN (bunny) a store for little girls in Sora Mall Complex. I turned around to grab a black and purple shirt when I turned back she wasn't there.
She wasn't there by my side anymore I couldn't see my Tsukuyomi. Frantically searching through crowds and crowds of people for my baby girl, but she was gone.
I was scared, so scared. I just turned around for a second, just a second. The annoying chatter of all these people and happy smiles couldn't see past themselves and realize I had lost my light.
Tsukuyomi was gone; I've never felt so hopeless in my life. I started to look through everything in the store ignoring cries of stop and surprised looks.
I had to find her, tears started to form in my eyes temporarily blinding my vision. What if I never found her? A large weight started to form on my chest and I felt like I was drowning. I couldn't swim up to surface for air.
I was going to die. I wanted to breath, I really did, but it was near impossible. I now felt like I was sinking. I still couldn't find her through all the shirts and shoes. She had to be her somewhere.
If I couldn't find I would be sucked to the very bottom. Then I heard a loud, "MOMMY!" That completely shattered my illusion. I ran out the store looking from left to right through the throngs of people. Then I saw her, she was near the opening of Claire.
Running over her with speed I didn't know that I had possessed I scooped her up into my arms. Her face was all red and clear salty water was rapidly rolling down her face. At that moment a bomb could have been going off and I wouldn't have cared all that was matter was that she was in my arms safe again.
Pushing her up so I saw her purple eyes in a firm voice to her, but a scared voice to me I told her, "Do not ever do that again!" She trembled though she slowly nodded. Hugging her tightly to my chest, I walked out of the store our shopping trip forgotten.
The current predicament was similar to that incident in the mall. I could dispose of Pein if I wanted too all I had to do was call Tsukuyomi's Uncle, my older brother Kyuubi (Akai Namikaze).
Kyuubi was very fond of Tsukuyomi and would no anything to protect her. Sighing, I knew I wouldn't do it. As much as I disliked Pein, he was her father, without him Tsukuyomi wouldn't be here.
If I decided to give Pein a chance, what would happen? Would he steal her away from me, scratch that what would Tsukuyomi say?
I don't think almost seven year olds understand one-night stands. Chuckling at the very thought her asking all these awkward questions. Then I stopped eventually Tsukuyomi would get older.
She will get curious and start asking all these questions, "Who is my father?" or "Why hasn't he called me or talked to me." I know if I pushed Pein away and kept Tsukuyomi in the dark she might ask, "Does he want nothing to do with me? Does he hate me?"
In my heart, I knew what would happen when she asked those questions. I can see it so vividly, Tsukuyomi maybe thirteen is sitting across from me, her eyes tell me that's she on the edge of breaking down as she fires each question. All I can do is sit there letting her vent out, then she turns to me and I know she's expecting me to comfort her, to tell her that her father is a no good bastard, but I can't.
So, I tell her the truth and her pale face makes a gradual transformation till she is flushed from anger perhaps a bit of confusion is mixed in there. "Why?" She questions me, her purple eyes swirling with emotion violently sucking me in.
I find my throat closed, I couldn't give her an answer. Not that I can't it's just that all the responses I come up with seem like pitiful excuses, so I stare at her not saying anything. The silence says it all.
Then my Tsukuyomi stands up suddenly, she's shaking intensely. I know she is breaking; her breath is coming out in pants, she has small tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Like time has slowed down I see her form those dreaded words...
"I HATE YOU!"
Trying to sooth her while ignoring the sting that those words have created I say, "I was trying to protect you..."
Tsukuyomi barks out harsh laughter she looks me directly in the eyes, "You were being selfish." I couldn't deny what she says; her words hold the truth.
Tsukuyomi doesn't say anything after that instead she goes upstairs to her room. When I go up there two hours later to check on her I hear soft crying from behind the door.
The phone suddenly rings high and shrill bringing me out of my thoughts. Picking up the phone I press the green button, the phone already against my ear.
"Hello?"
"Naruto-chan." A feminine voice comes from the other side making me stop momentarily.
"Mom?" I ask, hoping that it's just some random chick that happens to sound like my mother.
"How are you doing honey? Listen your father and I are renewing our wedding vows in December we were wondering if you could come along with your boyfriend, Sasuke, we haven't seen him in a while or you."
"Mom, I really want to but I-" I start off. My mother suddenly cuts me off.
"That's great honey, anyway the date is December 10th, make sure you make your reservations at the Water Country's Grand Hotel Plaza under the name Uzumaki-Namikaze. Love you, bye." She finishes and then I hear the phone click.
Letting the phone drop to my side my mouth is hanging wide open. What the fuck was I going to do? My family minus Kyuubi does not even know of Tsukuyomi's existence and I wasn't dating Sasuke anymore. I think I'm royally screwed.
My mother really liked Sasuke; she even made plans with Mikoto, Sasuke's mother, for our supposed wedding day. She expects me to bring him. Second, when my family finds out about Tsukuyomi they are going to be furious that I didn't tell them sooner complete with the waterworks and dramatics included.
Why do I have this distinct feeling that the world is currently mocking me?
Can we make it to 45 reviews or it least 40?
