A/N: I'm back again my peepz! Sorry I took so long I'm writing other stories besides this one, anywho here's the next part. Oh also thanks a million for the reviews! Loving your support :D
Atsuko woke up after fours of being unconscious since her attack, the doctors told her she had to take it easy or she would have another attack. At this point she didn't care about what happened to her, her children were dead, gone forever and weren't coming back. After Hana died she lost her sanity temporarily so it was no wonder doctors were checking on her frequently to make sure she didn't have an "episode". She felt numb, and was too tired to even cry for her loss.
It would be no wonder that all her friends stopped by and cried telling her how sorry they were for her loss, they hugged her and asked her if they could do anything to ease her pain. The only thing she would say to them was
"If…. You want to ease my pain…. Give me back my daughters that were robbed of me, but seeing as how none of you can do that you have nothing that can help me." She replied before going into a daze.
Time wasn't stopping, life kept on moving on leaving her behind. As far as it was concerned she was just a mere soul of millions if not billions of people. Babies were being born just as lives were being lost, it was unfair at how cruel and uncaring this world seemed but she knew it wasn't to be blamed. That's just the way life is.
Atsuko slowly made her way out of the cold bed and felt her knees give in, she toppled unto the floor with a yelp, it didn't help that the floor was slightly slippery, she winced but managed to get up. She peeked out from behind her door and once she saw the coast was clear she made to her husband's door as quickly as possible.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
The sounds of her husband's heart monitor and the steady sound of breathing was the one thing right now that could give her a little piece of mind. Mitari went into a coma since the night of the attack and had been in the coma ever since. She limped over to the unconscious man and smiled slightly as she ran a hand through his graying brown hair, she took a seat beside his bed and held his hand and stroked it lovingly even though he made no movement.
"Mitari… it's been a month wouldn't you say? I mean two weeks ago you went into a coma from your diabetes, hah, I always told you to stay away from all those sweets but as usual you were too stubborn to listen. The doctors say you should be waking up any time now… I know you'll pull through you're a fighter for sure." She murmured as he stayed unconscious,
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP,
"It's almost that day Mitari… October 10th is coming up so soon I'm quite shocked, can you believe it's been 21 years since that day? I-I guess we should start buying flowers to place on their graves right? What do you think we should get them? Hana always loved carnations, you remember that time she threw a tantrum because we were leaving the plant nursery? She was only 4 then, it was so funny, Yuri and I laughed about it for weeks even though you were angry with her but you couldn't stay mad for long at your little girl. I think we should also get gardenias since your mother loved them so much, did you know Yuka told me that she was given gardenias the very first time she met Misao, kinda like when I met you and you asked me out with daises, *giggle* you were such the romantic back then, I loved how clumsy you were when we danced at the school dance, you kept on stepping on my feet, you couldn't stop blushing and stuttering apologies to me even though I said it was fine, do you remember?"
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Of course you do, I can never forget how adorable you were when we had our first kiss, oh yeah! I broke your glasses didn't I? I don't think I ever apologized for it… sorry sweetie. I was a little aggressive back then hahahaha! I also loved how gentle you became when the time called for it, remember when we first had Hana? I was so exhausted that you stayed up all night tending to her allowing me a chance to sleep, you felt so guilty when I was screaming for those ten hours of labor, oooh, also you brought me breakfast in bed for a whole week with a daisy and even cleaned the house every day… though you were never good at it."
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
"Also… I never met a man who was so willing to cry in front of people when the situation called for it, when Misao died you were expected to be strong and show little emotion, because men were supposed to be macho and tough and crying was for wimps. You refused to let that stop you from showing the pain you felt from the loss of your father, he was a good man and I'm sure he would have been proud of you even now, the same for Yuka and Hana. You cried like a baby, so I heard from Yuri and Inoichi, at their funeral, you even refused to let them put the coffins in the ground you even held unto both the coffins until Shibi and Inoichi dragged you off, that's just like you, never want to let go of family even if it's required." She said as her voice broke, she wiped away the tears forming from her eyes
"One last thing before I go… Sakura went on a mission yesterday… I know, I know, she always does so what's the big deal right? Well… U-um… S-Sakura d-d-d-" she proceeded to sob, something inside of her snapped and she lost it
"Oh Mitari! Sakura's dead! She was killed on a mission yesterday I even saw her body today! Mitari, what should I do? Please wake up! I can't handle this pain without you by my side, I'm not as strong as you! I'm not! If I was I wouldn't have gone insane and had to be confined to the crazy house for months after! It's a wonder I'm even sane now! Mitari I beg of you, please open your eyes! Why won't you wake up? Help me please help me!" she wailed into his chest clenching unto it for dear life, the racket she made brought the attention to medical personals in the hospital who subdued her and dragged her back to her room kicking and screaming, pleading for the man she loved to rescue her from her nightmare.
However the only thing she could hear in response was…
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
Sigh: So sorry it took so long, I hope you liked this one even though it was a little plain :/ As a treat for the person who asked I will bring Shikamaru into the mix next chapter.
