Chapter 4

Tenshi's POV

Shortly after my mom left, I continued to read the letters.

Dear Hinata,

I haven't made friends because I don't want to get to attached to this shithole. Every night, I just want to lay beside you and hold you close to me. Don't send me money, I'll get a job somehow and see you without my dads help. I love you and baby forever and always.

Love Kiba

PS - What should we name our baby?

I smiled, I really wish I knew my dad. He seemed really sweet.

Dear Kiba,

You should at least try to make one friend. At least you'll have someone to talk to. In a couple of days, I go for an ultrasound. We're finally get to find out what we're having. I'm so excited. I'm hoping for a boy, what about you?

After the doctor said I find out what we are going to have the next appointment, I swear I could feel our baby moving like crazy. I just can't wipe this smile off of my face. I miss you. It's gonna suck that you're not going to be here to find out. I've been thinking, if it's a boy I would name him Haku. It's a common name, but I like it a lot.

Much love, Hinata

Dear the love of my life,

I don't want friends, I want you. I got a job at the vets. I clean dogs for the time being, I don't mind. You know how much I love dogs. Send me a picture of the ultra sound next time you write. I want to have a beautiful baby girl. A baby girl that looks just like her beautiful mom. Gosh, talking about this stuff drives me mad. I want to be with you so badly. I miss you. Remember, when we were kids, you were so scared to talk to anyone? Then you said you wanted to pet Akamaru, and our friendship started. Wow, we've known each other forever. I came across this song going through my dads old records.

For you, they'll be no more crying.

For you, the sun will be shining,

And I feel that when I'm with you,

It's alright, I know its right.

The song is "Songbird" by Fleetwood Mac.

Your love Kiba

PS- I love you.

I was in an awestruck moment when I read this, I really wish I knew my dad. Before I started to read the next letter, I went to the other room. When I walked to the kitchen, I put some water up. While I was waiting for the water to boil, my cell started to ring. I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, what you doing?" it was Keiji.

"Nothing, reading."

"Are we still hanging out tonight?"

"Yeah, what you thinking of doing?" I had nothing better to do, so I decided to agree.

"I'll pick you up and we'll just drive around,"

"Yeah, what time?"

"Right now?" he asked me.

"Yeah," he hung up and by the time I was done on the phone, my water started to boil. I took it off and decided to not have tea anymore. After doing that, I went back to my room and looked around. By the closet, I saw my green sweater. I quickly did my make-up, it looked alright. No way was I going to forget my famous red fangs going down my cheeks. I grabbed my sweater and also grabbed my cellphone. After I grabbed those things, I heard the door open. I knew it was Keiji, so I went to the other room. Instead it wasn't Keiji, it was Neji.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. After I asked him, he walked over to the kitchen table and sat there.

"Where's your mom? I need to talk to her," I went and sat at the table with him.

"She's gone."

"But where!" he demanded. His voice was scary. Not once have I ever heard his voice like this.

"Her and TenTen went out. Thats all I know."

"Fine," after he spoke he left. I found it weird that he came here instead of his son. Shortly after he left, Keiji walked in.

"Was that my dad?"

"Yeah. He just stormed in here and asked where my mom was and then left. I thought it was weird. Anyways, wanna go?"

"Sure," we both left. When we got into the car, I had to drive. When we started to go, Keiji turned down the music.

"What's up?" I asked him. Instead of answering, he was really quiet. We just sat there in silence. After a couple of minutes, he finally spoke.

"I'm scared Ten."

"Of what?" We stopped at an intersection. I gave a quick glance and then put my attention back to the road.

"I think my parents are breaking up," I looked at him with a shocked look.

"Wait, why?" I quickly shot back. The news I found out came to me as a shock. I was sure that his parents really had it going well for them.

"They've been arguing more about money. Just recently they started to yell more and throwing things at each other," I parked the car in front of the arcade. Then I looked at him.

"Why are they arguing? I thought they were lovey dovey all the time."

"They're only like that in front of people."

"Well did they say there going to break up? You can't make accusations that they are."

"It's obvious Tenshi. Stay at my place tonight and you'll hear them bicker at each other."

"I can't, my mom will probably come back drunk. I don't want her doing something stupid."

"Okay, let's go play some games." I nodded and we both walked in. Sure I'm sixteen but playing arcade is still one of the best things to do. It's one of those things from being a little kid you never get sick of. Gosh I sound like I'm an old lady.

We walked in and saw that they put in a pool table. Keiji and I looked at each other and we both nodded our heads and made our way to the table. We played a few rounds and I told Keiji I would drive him home because I was getting bored. He agreed and we were now on our way back when Keiji got a phone call. I only heard Keiji's side of the call but it went like this:

"Hello?"

"Mom? What's wrong?"

"Mom?"

"Oh okay so you're alright?"

"Yeah; yeah bye."

"What's up?" I asked him.

"Nothing, my mom is just drunk calling," we both laughed. I pulled into his driveway and he went inside. When I arrived home, I just went to my room and ended falling asleep. While asleep, I started to dream:

I was sitting in a cafe. There was clean smell in the air. When I looked around the room, in front of me someone sat with their back turned to me. I looked at them and the man turned around. My heart sank and I could feel tears well up in my eyes. The brown hair, the dark eyes and the red fang markings, I knew all to well. It was my father. When he looked at me, he gave me a soft warming smile. That's when I felt a tear fall down my face. Quickly, I wiped it away and then my dad started to laugh.

"Why are you crying?" he asked me. I wiped another tear and then let out a sigh.

"Its just wow," I was so mesmerized that he was in my dream. I felt a million feelings at once and I didn't know what to do nor did I know what to say.

"You're so pretty, just like your mother," I felt a slight smile come across my face at his compliment. There were so many thing is I wanted to say to him. But as he sat there staring at me, no words came out. As I was sitting there staring at him, I just continued to cry. "Don't cry, you don't need to cry baby."

"But dad, you're not here anymore and I want to know why. Daddy I miss you."

"Have you read the letters?" I nodded, "then you don't need to cry anymore."

"I still haven't read all the letters though. What am I supposed to do when I'm done?" I asked him.

"You continue living, I love you baby girl."He gave me a smile and then the picture started to fade and that was the end of my dream.

When I woke up, my eyes were puffy. I rolled out of bed and went to the kitchen. The time shocked me. How long was I asleep for? It was three in the morning and my mom never came back. I walked back to my room and laid on my bed. While I was laying there, I thought about the dream I just had, I thought to myself 'Did that really happen?' It seemed so real, yet so unreal. I really wish I knew him. I fell asleep thinking about it.
