Good chapter this time :]] Hope you all like :]]
Kirra POV:
Rayne was a sleep in the backseat when you pulled into the drive-way. He was curled up in a ball with his thumb in his mouth. You picked Rayne up out of the backseat and climbed the Stairs to the front door with ease. The door unlocked with a flick of your wrist and you walked in as you kicked the door closed behind you. You layed Rayne down on one of the large black leather couches that were seated in the living room. You draped a blanket from the top over him as he began to stir then fell back asleep. You smiled and went into the kitchen for some coffee. You poured milk and sugar into the black liquid inside the mug turning it a mocha. You drank peacefully as you leaned against the counter. The door bell rang and you answered ti to find Pein standing there.
"Hey c'mon in" You said and opened up the door. He walked passed you without a word and you could tell he was angry. It radiated off him like heat on the road.
"Why didn't you tell us before, Kirra?" He asked as he sat down.
"Pein, please don't lecture me about what i should and shouldn't have done. It's-" You were cut off by Pein.
"It's what Kirra, not my problem. Kirra your like my sister, just like you are to everyone else. Your the only thing that has stopped everyone from killing Itachi already, and if he finds out about Rayne then were going to have some kind of law suit on our hand," Pein said and you sighed.
"He already knows. He came storming in to Sasori's place while I was picking Rayne up and he figured it out," You said as your hand came to your temple. You heard Pein curse under his breath and leaned into the couch. Pein soon left and you fell asleep on the couch. You awoke to Rayne nudging you on the couch.
"Huh?" You said as you awoke to the pouty face of the two year old.
"Mommy! I'm hungry," Rayne said as he nudged you again.
"Okay sweetheart, What do you want for breakfast,"
"Cereal," He replied.
"What kind?" You asked.
"Cookie Crisps," He replied again. YOu nodded and he followed you to the kitchen. You pulled the cereal out of the cupboard and made him a bowl and you put on some coffee for yourself. Rayne sat at the small table in front of the bay window and you stood by the counter.
"I promised u i would take you out for ice cream didn't I?" You asked the small child and he smiled as he took another bite of cereal.
"Yeah, you did, Mommy," He smiled at you.
"Okay well later we'll go shopping for you some new toys then we'll go get Ice cream. Does that sound alright?" YOu asked him and he nodded. Rayne finished eating and began watching cartoons for a little while and you called over Gaara to watch him while you got dressed. You ran up stairs and jumped in the shower quickly before throwing on a pair of black baggy pants and a blue tank top with a large black jacket. You pulled a beanie on and a pair of Ray Ban sun glasses. You hurried down the stairs and Gaara had Rayne sitting in his lap. When you walked into the room Gaara was smiling down at the toddler.
"Awe," You said with a smile. Gaara turned to look at you with a glare.
"I swear if you ever tell Temari.." He left his sentence unfinished so that you could come to your own conclusion.
"I know, I know you'll skin me alive in your dungeon of terrors," You said as you rolled your eyes. You plucked Rayne from Gaara's lap and smiled. "Are you going to stay here or do you need a ride home?" You asked and he chose the latter of the two. Cloud had loaned you his Hummer H1. It was white on the outside and black on the inside. You strapped Rayne in and Gaara jumped into the passenger seat. You pulled the Hummer out and sped down the road. You soon pulled up to Gaara's house and let him out. "Thanks Gaara," You said before he exited the vehicle.
"For what?"
"Just being there. You've always been like a brother to me," You told him with a smile.
FF3 Hours Later
You and Rayne sat in an ice cream shop in the mall as he cheerfully snacked on cookies and cream ice cream. YOu smiled as you watched him. He seemed so happy and carefree, but that was because to him there were no problems in life. The biggest worry he had ever had was missing his favorite TV show. Pokemon. You thought to yourself and smiled. You had picked him up tons of clothes and even more toys for him to play with. People bustled out in the mall and you sighed, only hoping they wouldn't recognize you.
"Kirra?" You heard someone say and you sighed, but didn't turn. When the person was standing beside you you looked to see that it was Naruto.
"Oh, hey Naruto," You said with a smile.
"Hey," He replied and looked down sheepishly.
"Sit down if you want," YOu said as you slid over to make room for him. He took the seat and you looked at him.
"So you weren't lying," Naruto said.
"No and I'm sorry Minato had to lie to you, but it was the only way that I could keep him safe," YOu told him.
"Keep him safe from what?" Naruto asked as he looked at you. 'So he didn't elaborate,' you thought.
"The father," You said truthfully and Naruto only nodded, not caring about who it was.
"Bad argument or a custody battle?" Naruto asked.
"Something like that," You told him as you looked at Rayne from across the table. He looked up at you and smiled, you returned the smile and for once felt happy. All that had happened since you moved there fell away and for that moment there was a state of bliss that you had never gotten with drugs. It was pure happiness.
"You seem happy," Naruto said and smirked.
"You should be too. You're sitting next to your idle here," YOu smiled.
"He told you about that did he?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah," YOu said and smiled more.
"Mommy?" Rayne said from across the table.
"Yeah, Baby?" YOu asked as you looked over at him. Rayne was biting his lip as he looked out the window.
"When will I have friends?" He asked as he looked down.
"Whenever you ever you go and make some sweety, Why?" You asked him.
"Because I don't have any friends," He said as he looked back down at his ice cream.
"Do you want to go to daycare, so you can meet people, Rayne?" You asked him and his eyes lit up.
"Yeah," He said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll find somewhere, I promise," So far you had been good to your promises to him, but it always too awhile. You smiled down at the child and he finished his ice cream.
"What's his father like?" Naruto asked.
"He's not so cool with having a kid," You said even though you knew Itachi would kill to get a hold of Rayne.
"Who's the father?" He asked.
"Uh.." You seemed to not know what to say, "Naruto, I want to tell you something that you can't tell anyone or I swear your father will disown you, Okay?" You asked.
"Yeah sure whatever," He said.
"Sasuke's brother is the father," You said in a hushed voice.
"Itachi? How?" He questioned.
"I'm really close to the Akatsuki. As you know my brother is Sasori. Well we dated, and shit happened," You told him, while not completely lying.
"Then why hide Rayne form Itachi?"
"His father hated me and I'm so scared of what he would do to Rayne. I wouldn't be able to handle it if anything happened to him," You told him truthfully. Fungaku had hated you with a passion, and you knew if he found out about Rayne, then all hell would break loose. Itachi would probably tell him of his child anyways. You sighed as you everything actually came to the field.
"I'm sor-" Naruto couldn't finish.
"No, Naruto. I don't need pity. I'll never need pity. It doesn't help," You told him as you looked down at Rayne.
"Okay," came his mumbled reply.
"Come by the house sometime. You and your friends. It'll be fun," You told him with a smile.
"I will," He said.
"Ready to go home, sweetheart?" You asked Rayne and he yawned as he nodded his head. You smiled and Naruto got up and you picked Rayne up into your arms. Rayne layed his head on your shoulder and lulled to sleep. You picked up a few bags in your free hand and smiled at Naruto. You walked out to the car and put Rayne in his car-seat. You pulled out a new teddy bear for him to cuddle up to and he was sound asleep. You jumped in the front seat and pulled out of your space. Rain began to pound on the windshield and Rayne stirred in his seat.
"Little child,
be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight
Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates
your tear stained face
I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world
that you see
In the morning
Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
Little child
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
For you know, once even
I Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep the fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
Well, now I am grown
And these years have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close
And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning" YOu continued to drive as you sang the lullaby to him. You caught a glance back when you quit singing and he was sound asleep. You were pulling into the garage now and you jumped out to get Rayne.
When you put him in his crib you could only smile at his innocence. He was so fragile compared to all your friends. Thinking of Pein as a child only made you want to laugh. He had probably pulled little girl's hair and kicked puppies. Well maybe not kicked puppies, but he was probably a problem child. You smiled and thought you would take a nap. You layed down in your bed and fell asleep.
~Dream~
You were in you living room and Rayne was in the floor with some of his new toys. The TV was on some boring channel. Arms wrapped around you and you looked to see Zack next to you. YOu smiled at him and he kissed your forehead.
"Daddy can we go to the park later?" Rayne asked Zack and you smiled down at the child.
"Sure Rayne, whatever you want," Zack told the kid with his signature smile. He looked down at you with his cerulean eyes.
"I love you," You said as you kissed his pink lips.
"I love you too," He replied and you continued to smile. He was just as you remembered. Happy and bright. His black spike atop his head were wild and his body was well toned. He had obviously been training.
"Your perfect, you know that?" Zack said as he tightened his grip on you. Your smiled beamed as you closed your eyes. Zack's forehead was pushed against yours and when you opened you eyes it looked as if he was crying. Not tears, but blood. Crimson liquid was seeming from under his eyelids and from the corners of his mouth.
"Zack, No. Please don't leave me," You whispered breathlessly. He was smiled as he opened his eyes. They weren't the bright blue they were moments before. They had turned the scarlet color of his blood.
"I'm not going anywhere Kirra. I'll always be right here," He said as he poked your chest. You began crying as his body weight leaned on you.
"I'll always love you Kirra," He told you with his last breathe.
"Noo, Zack No please.." You begged.
~End Dream~
"No," It was only a whisper on your lips as you sat up in your bed. You hadn't been asleep any longer than an hour. You wiped you tears streamed cheeks and stood up.
"Zack," His name was breathless on your lips as you looked out the window. It was almost dark out. You sighed and went to check on Rayne. He was still asleep in his crib. YOu came down the stairs and made you a bowl of cereal. The dream was still replaying in your mind. He had looked perfect. You shook your head to rid yourself of the thoughts.
"He's dead" You reminded yourself.
