Hey, here is the next chapter. A thank you to all who have reviewed and will review.
Also a special thank you to Foxchick and Akira who were the first to review my story and encourage me to continue this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Kyoko.
-Kyoko run, honey. We will be alright, I promise you. Just run to the cave behind the waterfall. Don't worry about the animals; they won't do anything to you. We'll come after you just after we finished here. - Kyoko's mother called out to her over the noises from the fight with the marines. –Listen to your mum, Kyo-chan. Everything will be alright as long as you follow your mother's instructions!-her father screamed. Little four year old Kyoko did as she was told and ran into the woods until she came to the waterfall.-This must be the waterfall mommy meant.- she thought and went to the side to find the secret pat her parents once told her about. She followed the path till the end and found a beautiful lake in the middle of a big field.
There Kyoko stayed for the next five days and nights. She ate the fruits from the trees that were at the far end of the field and drank the water from the lake. With every day Kyoko lost a little bit of her hope that she would see her parents ever again. Sure, she was just four years old but she wasn't a fool and thought that her parents would really come after her. If she was honest with herself, she knew that her mum and dad weren't going to come to her since the moment she flew from the battlefield.
Finally in dawn of the sixth day she decided she had waited long enough and went to the battlefield to see if the marines had really won.-I don't really think mum and dad are still alive. Even if they were, they would be injured really badly. At least I could give them a proper burial. - Just as predicted Kyoko found the bodies of her now dead parents lying in the bloodstained grass of the battlefield. She forbid herself to cry and ran back to the house her parents and she lived in. She took the barrow from their backyard and drove it to the bodies of her parents. She lifted the bodies of her parents one by one into the barrow and began to back her way to the top of the mountain.
It took her the whole day and half of the next day to get the bodies to the big field. After that she took the other half of the day to bring a paddle from her house. For two days she dug two holes near the lake, put the bodies inside and filled the wholes with earth. The following day she took a small stone to write something on the two big stones she would take on the tombstone. Finally, exactly ten days after her parents' death, she brought a candle she found in the kitchen of their house to the two graves and lit it. Until now she never cried since her parents deaths, but at the moments she lit the candle and eyed the graves, tears welled up in her eyes and she began to sob. –Mommy, daddy. Why, why did you have to die!?-
Sweating like crazy Kyoko woke up from her slumber and realized that she was still in her bathtub. "Oh, just a dream. That's right, that time I was a coward for running away even through mum and dad needed me." Silent tears ran down her cheeks. "Never again will I be a coward, NEVER again. Huh? Why am I crying? Stupid tears." Kyoko quickly dried up her tears and reached out for the towel that hung at the counter next to the tub. The water was long cold along with her tea.
Kyoko sighed and stepped out of the tub and dried herself as she made her way to the kitchen to put the mug with the tea into the sink. Afterwards she walked to her room and put on her underwear and her black jeans and her dark blue T-shirt. She took out her night black vest walked out to her cupboard with it. She fetched her boots and cleaned them from the mud. Looking at the clock, she realised that it was already 11:45 pm. She put on her vest and it zipped it up all the way. Then she put on her gloves and her cloak after hiding some of her shuriken and kunai in it. Grabbing her twin katanas Kyoko attached them to her belt and ran out the door southbound to the marine base.
