The shower was fun Kisa, allowed her mom help her take of her clothes and get into the shower. Something when she wasn't tired something she did on her own because she was a big girl. Her mother messaged her scalp getting Kisa even sleepier. Yuki blew bubbles at her daughter walking Kisa up. Kisa giggled a little bit blowing bubbles back, before she started telling her mother stories of her adventure on Halloween night.
Her mother listened as she dried Kisa off and helped her daughter in her Pajamas (another thing Kisa liked doing on her own). Yuki then tucked her in kissing her good-night brushing way some bangs from her daughters sleepy face.
Just as Yuki was about to walk away Kisa jolted away, "Mama," a word Kisa had hardly ever used unless she scared, "sleep with me,"
Yuki looked at her daughter lovingly as she agreed and placed herself gently on her daughter's bed. Her fingers brushing lightly over Kisa's cheek, and between her hairs, while she hummed a soft lullaby Itachi had taught her.
Kisa's eyes fluttered as she felt drowsy once again, her tiny hand grabbed her mother's other hand. Her mother squeezed Kisa's hand, Kisa only smiled at this. She knew she was going have nightmare's tonight because of all of the scary monsters she saw tonight but she knew she had mother who loved her and father who would protect her. Yes, her father was scary today but that didn't matter because he still loved her and will always protect her, after all he was the only place Kisa found safe to cry to. Kisa smiled as an image of thanksgiving came to mind, with the entire Akatsuki member surrounding her and Uncle Sasuke spoiling her, Mikoto giving her lots of hugs and kisses and grandpa teaching her new tricks, she began to dream of that.
Yuki watched as her daughter slept, time seem to ticking so slowly, not that Yuki minded the more time she had with her daughter the better. This beautiful creation was hers and Itachi no one was taking her away from Yuki. She watched every soft breath her daughter took, watching her daughter's chest move lightly up and down. Yuki remembered as soon as she was admitted out of the hospital Yuki would sneak into her daughter's room as Kisa slept and watch her. Yuki was always grateful that Kisa's was hers and that she could be alive to watch her. Yuki continued with her soft strokes, a flash woke her up from her day dream.
"What are you doing?" Yuki sighed as she watched her husband. He was sitting on the large recliner in their living room, flipping through the pictures on the camera.
"Seeing which one my mother would like to see," Itachi told her.
Yuki stood over him and watched as each picture passed by, "Cute ears," Yuki pointed to a picture of Itachi that was off center and little tilted (Kisa must have taken it). He had angry scowl on his face as he looked like he was arguing with someone but that person was cut off thanks to Kisa's handiwork. He was still wearing the cat ears, "I say we send this to your mother,"
"Hn," Itachi answered, flipping through the pictures, Yuki wrapped her arms around Itachi as he flipped through each picture.
"You are still in trouble," Yuki mumbled.
"How about we send this to my mother," Itachi only glanced at her and showed her the picture he just took of Kisa and Yuki, a few minutes ago.
"Still in trouble," Yuki mumbled, hugging him even tighter. God she missed him but why didn't he call home when he left?
Itachi flipped to one picture that caught Yuki's eyes. She grabbed the camera from her husband's hand and walked around the room trying to find a perfect place to hang the picture. The picture was something Deidara must have taken; Itachi was holding Kisa in her ladybug costume (Or Isho as Kisa would call it). Itachi still had the cat ears Kisa told him to wear, he had and unusual look on his face as he stared at his daughter; a half smirk as Yuki would say it. Yuki was looking lovingly at her daughter as she held on to her witch's hat that Kisa bought her. Kisa was laughing as she looked at her mother, her ebony hair all over the place as she had her arms wrapped around her father.
"I want to this picture," Yuki told Itachi crawling on to his lap.
Itachi's arm wrapped around his wife's waist, she smelled so tempting, he would have her right here in this room if wasn't for the one question buzzing around his head, "Kisa's not allowed to cry," he growled.
Yuki smiled and cuddled close to her husband, "She is, in the bathroom, in my arms and of course yours," there was a long silence. Everyone who trick or treated had long since went home since it was after ten "your arms are the only place I feel safe crying to," Yuki soon felt tired as rested her head on Itachi's shoulder and just like Kisa Yuki was out like a light.
"Happy Halloween," Itachi said, looking at the picture Yuki wanted. He'll buy her white Iris as a sign of forgiveness.
Isn't Kisa so cute? I thought she was. Any way I tried to hitting parenting in ways most people don't by showing it's hardship but I still think I glarmtized it. As you can tell Yuki loves her daughter very much and I think I did a good job on showing a mother's love but you never know. The whole time I was writing this I had the Image of Yuki holding her daughter, the same way the soundtrack for Clannad was showing Nagisa holding Ushio. I'm a little nervous to about this story because I think I jumped around a bit with writing styles as tried to experiment a bit. So if any complains sorry and feel free to tell me I will listen. What else, yeah Itachi is a bit of a work alcoholic but to live the life style he lives he needs to be. I think I did give Kisa a bit of brat like personality but I'm not so sure it shows. Oh well tell me what you think. Oh I am a bit nerves about this cause I am signing this up in a contest at DA. And I'm not so sure if it is good enough so I am nerves.
[1] I hate half Japanese shit people put into their work to prove they study Japanese. Congrats really for writing the word "yes" in Japanese, you're on your way to speaking Japanese (no not really). Hover I do find exception, such as an OC moving into a different culture and they start using Japanese to talk among other Japanese people. Or in this case a little girl mixing her two culture language together.
[2]I've been to New York…It gets pretty cold out there.
[3] Disclaimer on this part, I do not own this little cute part of daughter being allowed to only cry in her father's arm. But the concept about the father and daughter image was so cute. Idea belongs to Clannad.
