Ch 6

"Rikimaru, I'm so glad you're alive," whispered Ayame thru tears as he tightly held her.

"I missed you my love," he replied.

"I missed you too."

"Mama, what's happening?" Asked Kioko looking at the walls that were slowly crumbeling,
Rikimaru picked up the small three year-old and said,

"Ayame, we must leave before this valcano collaspes," she nodded and took out her
grappling hook,

"Yes."

The two ninja climbed up the wall and passed the panicking guards as the walls began to
overflow and breakdown with the overflow of lava. As they were mere feet from the exit, the
lava pushed a giant boulder in front of them, trapping them.

(No!) Ayame thought, (there has to be a way to safely get out of here, there HAS to be!)

Then she had an idea,

"Rikimaru, grab Kioko and hang on the ceiling. I have an idea."

"What is it?" He asked.

"You'll see," she replied with a smirk. Ayame grabbed a grenade and placed it on the left side
of the boulder before jumping on the ceiling herself.

"Ayame are you nuts?! That's going to-" Her male counterpart began to yell, before the small
bomb exploded and destroyed most of the large rock, but none of the wall.

"I swear you worry too much, no wonder your hair is white," the female ninja teased as they
ran away from the now destroyed valcano. Rikimaru glared at her as their daughter giggled in
her father's arms.

"And what do you think is so funny, huh?" Rikimaru asked Kioko and playfully tickled her,
causing her to scwirm and laugh as the village came into sight. Ayame took the child from him
and said,

"Well I think it's time for you to go to bed, chibi-chan. It's WELL past your bedtime."

"But mama..." Kioko wined.

"No buts. It's nearly dawn, but I'll let your father tuck you in, if you change quickly,"
Ayame said grinning at how fast the girl sprung from her arms and ran to get ready for bed.

"Wow. She's fast for a three year old," her father remarked blinking.

"You have no idea," replied her mother stretching her sore muscles and yawning. She moaned when
Rikimaru began to gently rub her shoulders and nussle her neck.

"I'll be back," he whispered in her ear before walking towards the house to put their daughter
to bed.

She smiled. Five years ago, if anyone told them that they would fall in love with each
other and have a beautiful little girl; they would either ignore the person or scoff and call
the person crazy. But now they had the life that most would kill for. That made Ayame fell like
the luckiest person in the world.
