Chapter 9: meeting Kit's mother
"My baby, my precious little Kit." Rin mourned as she held Kit's cold body close to her.
She was currently running through the woods as fast as she could to get away from the manor. She managed to escape when Kabuto had unchained her. She had hit him hard enough to take his breath away before she snatched up Kit's body and ran out of the dungeons. Rin ran through the house and with help from another maid, she was able to get away. She was now trying to find a place to bury her child.
Her long legs carried her across a small river and she kept running, only stopping when her legs gave out. Rin had no idea where she was but the place she was in was so breath takingly beautiful that she couldn't believe her eyes. It was a good-sized clearing leading to large lake with water lilies scattered on the surface. Rin was standing at the edge of the clearing, looking with wide eyes at the clear water. Sakura trees that were in bloom stood behind Rin, seeming to guard the edge of the area. What Rin found really weird about the Sakura trees, besides the fact that they were in bloom out of season, was that the blossoms were white instead of the usual pink color, which made the trees appear to be glowing. The moon was large in the night sky, filling the area with a soft white light which made it easier for the rabbit demon to see the soft blue colored moon lilies growing from the dark green glass. The lilies and the lake water seemed to glow under the moonlight. Rin took a step into the clearing, her feet making no sound as she stepped on the soft grass.
"Kami. This place is beautiful Kit," she looked down at the pale face of her dead son, "I wish you could see this."
Rin decided then and there that this place is where she would bury her son. But before that, she would have to clean the blood from his body. She kneeled on the grass in front of the lake and slowly laid her son in the water, keeping his head on her lap. She gathered some water on her hand and gently washed his face. As she did this she grew lost in her thoughts.
She was deciding what she would do after burying her Kit. She began to wash the blood off his neck when she remembered what used to cover his neck. 'I need to go speak to Sasuke-sama, tell him what happened to hid mate. That poor boy not only did I lose my son but he lost his only mate. Its going to tough to tell him that Kit isn't here anymore.' Rin was so lost in her thoughts that she did not notice that the water began to glow.
Rin gasped as Kit was pulled out of her hands by the current and dragged toward the middle of the lake. She stood up quickly and tried to get Kit back to shore but the current kept pushing her back. She watched with wide eyes as her son was dragged under the water before falling to her knees. New tears fell from her eyes and into the water as she cried over the fact that she could not even bury the child she loved now.
"Shhh. Its alright." a soft voice whispered in her ears as a pair of pale arm wrapped arm her, "everything will be fine."
Rin looked up and blinked away her tears as she stared into the brightest pair of green eyes that she has ever seen. Red hair fell down the green-eyed woman's back and pooled around her knees.
"W-who are you?" she asked.
The red head's eyes twinkled, "my name is not important. I just wanted to thank you for caring for my son all these years"
"Your son? Kit is your son?" Rin questioned, not finding the any similarities between her Kit and this strange woman.
It was only when the red head smiled was when Rin saw it. She had the same smile as Kit, it was beautifully pure and warmed her heart, and "yes he is my son my youngest son actually, his name is Naruto. He was taken from his brothers the day our home was attackedthe day I was killed." Her eyes began to cloud over with sadness and unshed tears.
Rin eyes widened as she looked at the spirit and she suddenly realized that she heard the name Naruto before, "Kit's real name is Naruto I have met his brothers, they seem to be friends with the Uchihas. They were looking for Kit." she looked toward the middle of the lake were Kit disappeared, "now they will never get to meet him."
Kushina smiled, her eyes twinkling with mischief, "I'm not so sure about that. Who knows what might happen."
Rin tilted her head in confusion, "what do you mean? Kit is dead I saw him die with my own eyes."
Kushina wiped the tears gathering at the corners of Rin's eyes, "calm young one. Naruto will be all right. His body is healing under the water as we speak. Stay here and wait. When he wakes I want you to take him to Konoha to his brothers and his mate. Can you do that for me?" she asked.
Rin nodded mutely, her mind racing at the new information. The red head grinned, blinding Rin momentarily, "good. Now about that stupid mask that snake put on him. His mate, but only when the time is right can take it off. I have to go now, but please tell my sons that I love them and that we will always be watching over them."
Kushina stood up and walked to the shore. Her body began to fade away as she walked over the water's moon lit surface, "oh! And Rin," Rin looked up at the woman as her body became transparent, "thank you for taking care of my son. He would not have survived this long if it s for your love." With one last smile, Kushina disappeared.
Rin sat back in shock of what just happened. She looked toward the middle of the lake and a weak smile grew on her lips, "I will wait for as long as I have to my child. When you wake, I will do everything in my power to make sure that no one will ever hurt you again." With that Rin pulled her knees to her chest, wrapped her arms around her knees, and placed her chin on her arms before drifting off to sleep.
