Hey you guys another renewed chapter of Freedom. I hope you enjoy again.
I don't own Naruto and characters
(-_-)
I groan as something flashes in my eyes. I open them slightly only to feel the burn in them when I opened to quickly. I rubbed my eyes furiously as I got up. I open my eyes blink crazily at first, but getting use to the feeling. I stretch my arms upward letting out a groan as I hear a crack.
I roll my head around getting comfortable with my surroundings. I rub my loose hair letting it fall onto my back and gave a small sigh. I turn my head toward Hiroshi seeing him still sleeping. His leg was on my lap now.
I smile at the scene and gently lift his leg off putting it toward the side. I think about how we always end up in the weirdest positions. He usually doesn't toss and turn in bed. I see him pat around for me as I stood up, after a while he stops and settle back in to sleep. I smile and walk to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
I step into the bathroom getting everything ready. I turn on the water getting in rubbing myself down quick enough to start breakfast. I step out when down drying myself down with the towel on the rack. I look toward the full length mirror on the side to see my reflection.
I have long blond hair that I grew out when Hiroshi was a baby. He fancied my hair when he was young always holding it, but never pulling. I just kept it long since it brung in customers now. I have a diamond shaped face with soft features with three whisker marks on each side. I'm stuck at 5'6 never seemed to grow since high school, but I'm content. When done drying my hair I throw on a pair of small shorts and a tank top. I step out of the room turning to see Hiroshi still sleeping, I go toward the drawers and take out a pair of clothes for him and me.
Setting them both on the bed I leave heading toward the small kitchen to start making some food. Once I enter I open the fridge to find a few ingredients, but not food. I close it opening the cupboard to see nothing. I let out a frustrated sigh. 'No food, dammit' I thought as I planted myself on the chair. I put my face in my hands and started to think. I feel tears coming in my eyes as a rub them away. I sigh and stand up again.
I start to look elsewhere until I find a box of pancake mix. I stand on my toes and grab it looking inside to see enough for a few, but its enough for us. I nod and get a bowl from under the sink, a pan too. I open the fridge and take out the butter starting the pancakes.
(-_-)
I stir the final batch of the mix and pour it into the pan letting it sizzle. I put everything into the sink letting water flow as I wait for the last pancake to be done.
"Mama, where are you" I heard a small cry. I turn off the fire and put the pancake on the plate. I rush into the bedroom to see Hiroshi sitting up sniffling.
I kneel beside him rubbing his back trying to soothe him.
"Honey what's wrong, are you ok" I said lifting his face up with my finger. He looks at me and shakes his head no.
"I-I had a b-bad dream, I didn't l-like it" he sniffled. I give him a small hug whispering soothing words in his ears. He calms down and hold onto my hair as a comforting gesture. I waited until he complete stops crying then I pull back a bit.
"Do you want to talk about it" I whisper. He shakes his head again and I nod understanding. I give him a kiss on his forehead and stand up taking his hand.
"It'll be fine because I'm with you ok" I said moving his hair to the side. He nods and I smile.
"Go into the bathroom and brush your teeth, I made pancakes" I said softly. He smiles at me and nods rushing into the bathroom. I headed back into the kitchen setting everything up splitting the pancakes between us.
"Hiroshi hurry before the food gets cold" I yelled across the room.
"I'm coming Mommy"
I heard the running of feet and Hiroshi stopped in front of me smiling. I laid out a black and red long sleeve sweater light enough for him not to get hot or cold and a pair of sweat pants.
"Mommy my pancakes" he said looking around. I smiled and pointed toward the plate on the table. He scampered toward it jumping in the chair.
"THANK YOUR FOR THE FOOD" he yelled. I laughed and sat down in front of him eating my own portion. We sat in quiet hearing nothing, but the sounds of eating. He finished first putting his plate in the sink.
"Go put on your shoes sweetheart or were going to be late" I said also putting my plate in the sink. He nodded and I dipped the plates in water letting it soak.
I went in the bedroom closing the door and getting undressed. I put on my white skinnies and a bright orange turtle neck sweater. Slipping on my socks and brown boats I grab my coat buttoning it up as I step out. I take the rubber band from my wrist and tie my hair with it. I help Hiroshi with his jacket and gloves. Making sure everything is off and I close the door behind us locking it.
I take Hiroshi hand taking us down the stairs. We reach the front door, but stop when we hear someone calling me.
"Good morning Naruto, looking lovely as always."
I freeze and turn around pulling Hiroshi towards my back keeping him hidden. I look up to see Orochimaru looking at me. My rent collector.
"Good Morning to you to Orochimaru" I said strained. He comes closer and I take a step back looking down at Hiroshi, seeing him shake because of being scared puts me in protective mode. I look up again and gasp seeing him so close, I can even smell his breathe and trust me I doesn't smell good.
"Rent Naruto-kun soon" he said raising his hand pinning me between him and the door. Hiroshi clenches my coat and buries his face in my leg.
"I will have it when it's due, excuse us now" I said as I pick up Hiroshi and putting him on my hip. I turn around and open the door. Before I can even take one step out he grabs my arm and puts his free hand on my thigh. Hiroshi gasp, but says nothing.
Orochimaru leans forward in me other ear and whispers "If you can't pay there are other ways" giving my thigh a squeeze. I turn around fast.
SLAP
My hand stings and I drop it to my side. He looks at me furious letting go of my arm quickly.
"I would never resort to that option ever. Keep your hands off me and watch what you say around my son" I said venom dripping from my voice. I walk out the building, but without seeing him smirk I walk down the block heading toward the daycare.
(-_-)
It was silent as I walked down the road holding Hiroshi on my front now. Usually we talk, but I'm guessing the meeting took a toll on him. I good morning ruined already.
"Mama"
"Hmm" I said looking at him. He looks at me sadly and says "I don't like that man." I hold him tighter in my arms moving my neck to the side so he can lay his head there. I sighed.
"Me neither, one day we won't have to live there. Someone will come and swoop us off our feet taking us away from the monster right."
Hiroshi nods and settles back down and we continue talking on our way to the daycare.
(-_-)
Done the renewed Ch2. Sasuke and Kaze will still be met next chapter maybe a little differently.
Enjoy thx
