Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and anything related to Naruto. It's all is owned by its rightful owners.
A/N: I apologize for the late update.
Let's continue with the story.
Next day Kushina dropped Naruto to his school with a Kiss on his cheek and forehead and a tight hug which made Naruto sigh. After yesterday evening's event Naruto was more aware of her hugs and kisses. He could feel her large breasts mashing into his chest while hugging. He could feel her smell which almost drowned him every time. But he didn't want to do anything to jeopardize his relationship with his mother so he ignored those thoughts and like before felt on peace in his mother's arms.
Naruto decided that he would talk to Anko-sensei today and apologize. So the day went on till lunch and he didn't get even a glimpse of Anko. He wondered if she even came to school. In lunch he asked some teachers like Iruka and Yugao, she worked part time in Kushina's company and full time teaching. Her subject was physics. Naruto asked her and she told him that he would find her in the cafeteria. Naruto thanked her and rushed towards cafeteria.
Naruto entered in the cafeteria and saw that every table in the cafeteria was occupied but one which was occupied by Anko was empty. He walked towards her wondering why she was sitting alone. He went to her and pulling a chair sat across her.
Anko was half eating and half thinking. She looked up when Naruto sat across her.
''Why are you here. I don't want your money anymore. You can keep it all'' she said in a low voice which seemed like a hoarse voice. Naruto narrowed his eyes, ''Anko-sensei, were you crying'' he blurted without thinking.
Anko gritted her teeth in anger. She glared at Naruto nastily, ''Didn't you hear me. I don't need your money. You can get lost and leave me alone'' she growled and Naruto's eyes widened. Was she crying because of him? Oh shit, I made a girl cry and before he could say anything she stood up and walked away.
Naruto went after her but she had already disappeared.
Naruto sighed. He went in the class and waited for Anko's class but later they were informed that she wasn't feeling well so class was canceled.
Naruto stormed out of the room immediately ignoring the teacher Mizuki in the class. He taught them English.
Naruto again asked Yugao and found out that she was on the roof. He immediately rushed upstairs to the top floor and reached the roof and saw that Anko was lying there, her right arm draped over her eyes, covering her eyes.
Naruto walked closer and sat down near her staring over the fence.
They stayed silent for almost a minute then Naruto spoke, ''I just wanted to apologize for what I did yesterday. I am sorry. I wanted to come but something more important came up and when I was finished the lunch was already over and after that I didn't get the time to talk to you'' Naruto said hoping that she would say something but she didn't. Naruto then continued, ''It's not like I don't want to give you money, there's something else too'' as soon as Naruto said that Anko sprang up and faced Naruto, ''Listen, I know you hate me now after knowing about me and I understand If you don't want to talk to me or come near me. So I request you to leave me alone. It would be best for both of us'' Anko said a little louder and Naruto narrowed his eyes, ''What are you talking about Anko-sensei. Knowing you...hate you...I don't understand what are you talking about'' Naruto asked in puzzlement.
Anko snorted and looked straight over the fence towards the main gate of school, ''Oh come on, don't say that no one tell you about my past'' Anko said and looked to the side. Naruto noticed her voice breaking a little.
''...what past...'' Naruto asked in confusion and Anko looked at him in surprise.
''You...you...no one tell you about me'' Naruto sat there still in confusion.
Anko sighed in relief, ''You were saying the truth about something coming up. I thought you were lying'' Anko said now feeling embarrassed.
Now Naruto wanted to know about her past for which she treated him like that, ''Anko-sensei, what is this …..with your past, I know I don't have any right to ask you but after being treated like that I want to know, even a little and after being treated like that I have the right '' Naruto said and waited for answer.
Anko sighed, ''Naruto, my past is not something pleasant. It's as dark as it can be...My sensei Orochimaru, was a teacher in this school and I admired him more than anyone and anything. But he betrayed me. He was a criminal, murderer, a rapist and any crime you can think of. In last days I was assaulted by him in ways I can't tell you or anyone else and then left me. Later I was accused of his partner in crime and was shunned. I wasn't handed over to police but my life became hell.
Everyone hates me in this school. I eat my lunch alone in the cafeteria because I can't hear the filthy names and comments my co-teachers threw towards me. I tried to go to other schools but they all knew about my past. Yesterday when you didn't come I thought someone told you about me that's why you didn't come'' Anko finished her tale in brief and Naruto could see a tear rolling down her cheek.
Anko Looked at Naruto expecting a disgusting look but she was shocked to see he had a slight smile on his face.
Naruto placed his hand over her making her look at him, ''Anko-sensei, whatever people think about you, you shouldn't let it bother you. This world is not fair, to me, to you or anyone else. Everyone wants a scapegoat to blame for everything but we shouldn't give up'' he said and squeezed her soft hand.
Anko looked at him and chuckled, ''You are a smart boy'' she said freeing her hand from his and wiping her tear.
They both sat there in silence looking at the school ground and the road, a smile on both of their faces.
Anko looked at him, ''By the way, why are you wasting your time here with me? You should go to your friends'' Anko suggested to him and he shook his head and smiled.
''I would rather stay here with you than my friends. They are a bunch of idiots who don't know what the real life is like. If I stay with you I will learn something since you are a teacher and have more experience than others'' Naruto answered and Anko's smile broadened.
''And you are more than a friend to me'' Naruto said and Anko's eyes widened but before she could say anything, Naruto cleared, ''I didn't mean it that way'' He said looking towards the front, ''You did something and for that I will always be in debt to you'' Naruto said and Anko looked at him in confusion, ''What do you mean'' Anko asked tilting her head.
Naruto looked at her and smiled, ''You are invited for a dinner at my home'' Naruto said handing her his address. Anko took it and read.
After some moments he asked, ''So when are you coming'' he asked.
Anko didn't comprehend what was happening. What did she do for him? Was he trying to ask her on a date, he was just a student and she was a teacher?
''I live with my mom. It was her idea to invite you for a dinner'' He said trying to make it easy for her. She might think he was trying to call a girl at home and do things with her.
Anko sighed, ''I...I will call you'' she said and Naruto nodded, ''Okay, fine'' he said and they both became silent again.
Then Naruto stood up, ''Okay then I am going to class'' he said and walked away. Anko sat there thinking about the last one hour, first male who wasn't disgusted with her and tried to harass her. May be it was a start. She thought and smiled, 'I have free time tomorrow after school' She thought and stood up and decided to go to her practical class.
At Namikaze residence,
Moans and groans could be heard from master bedroom and after five minutes a loud cry and it was all silent, just panting of heavy breaths of two persons who just finished their session of love making.
Minato and Mebuki were lying atop each other, sweating all over. Minato gave a kiss to her and rolled to the side panting.
Mabuki stood up and went into the shower and came out after half an hour, showered, and then Minato did the same.
They sat on the bed leaning against the headboard of the bed. Mebuki had some papers in her hands and she was reading them. Minato was reading a book.
It has been two weeks since Naruto left and Mebuki had told Minato about it and he just said 'oh' and left it at that.
Mebuki was the new boss of Minato's company, Konoha industries and she was looking out for any contract or company who could help them in any way and just today she had gotten a call from Hyuuga clan's company, Hyuuga raw materials Pvt. Ltd.
Hyuugas made boards, wires, capacitors and resistors and other things like that and Konoha industries had the engineers who converted those raw materials in usable forms like motherboards and other chipsets, drawing circuits and junctions on the boards. Konoha industries also made various other electronic appliances.
The deal between Konoha and Hyuuga companies was necessary for Konoha industries' future since Hyuuga not only promised to provide raw material on low cost but they decided to help them financially. So Mebuki wanted this meeting with Hyuugas to be successful at any cost. She was working hard for it and obviously Minato was working hard as much as he could to get this deal. After checking everything they decided to sleep for the night and ready for the meeting next day.
Hiashi Hyuuga had already decided to destroy Bryla Company, along with Kushina. After his company's exclusion he sought out Minato's company which was calling to make a deal and he accepted.
Next day Naruto, in his lunchtime went to cafeteria and found that every table was full. After running his eyes around the hall his sight fell on Anko who was sitting alone at a table. Naruto was with Chouzi, Shilamaru and Shino. He excused himself and went to Anko and pulling a chair sat across her and put his lunch box on the table, opening it he started to eat.
Anko looked at him but didn't say anything and kept looking. Naruto finished his lunch and packed the box back.
He frowned, he was still hungry. His eyes fell on Anko's lunch which was untouched. He looked at Anko and laughed sheepishly, ''Umm...Anko-sensei if you are not going to eat your lunch then...'' He said and trailed off while his stomach growled.
Anko was barely holding herself from crying. How long has it been since someone sat with her and eat lunch. She wasn't idiot; she knew exactly what Naruto was doing.
Naruto was still waiting for her permission. The lunch bell rang indicating that the lunch was over. Anko was still looking down.
When the whole cafeteria was empty, she looked up with tears in her eyes, ''T...Thank Y...you, Naruto'' she said between sobs. She was trying as better as she could to not cry.
Naruto smiled and put a hand on hers, ''It's alright Anko-sensei. What are friends for, that is, If you consider me one'' Naruto said and Anko nodded immediately.
''So are you going to eat your lunch'' Naruto asked and Anko smiling slid her lunch box towards Naruto and thanking her he immediately dug in. Anko kept watching him while he ate. And in just two minutes the box was empty.
Naruto thanked her again and stood up, ''my class must have already started'' he said and Anko nodded and he started to walk away. On the door he turned, ''And we are waiting for your call'' he said and ran away to his class.
Anko was smiling a happy smile that she had forgotten a long time ago. Her friends Kurenai and Yugao did a good job to bring her out of depression. But they were busy too.
She sighed. She was thinking to call him today but something came up and decided to call him some other day.
She noticed the cafeteria staff chief who was a woman in her late forties sat across her, ''Well I am happy to see you smiling again. Didn't I say that It might be late but god always watch over us'' She said and Anko closing her eyes smiled ear to ear showing her white teeth.
''its first time god has done something good for me'' she said and stood up and left a smiling chief.
A blue Nissan pulled in front of a waiting Naruto. Kushina came out as Naruto walked to the car. She immediately enveloped him in a hug and kissed him on the cheek. Naruto blushed when he felt her mother's breasts pressing to his chest and blood rushed to lower part of his body. He broke the hug and smiled looking at her, ''Let's go home then you can hug me as much as you want'' Naruto said and Kushina nodded with a giggle.
Kushina didn't let Naruto disappear from her sight even for a second. She always kept him in her arms. She feed him herself to his embarrassment and annoyance but he couldn't stop her. The only time he was not in front of her eyes was, when he was pissing or shitting, bathing was being interrupted occasionally. Only on school time Naruto was away from her eyes and this was something Kushina couldn't do anything about.
They entered in the car and Kushina drove to their home. Naruto looked at his mother, ''Mom you are beautiful'' Naruto said abruptly.
Kushina smiled, ''Thank you and you are the sweetest son a mother could ever ask for'' Kushina said with a pink face taking a brief glance at Naruto.
After a minute Naruto asked, ''Hey mom, did you talk to the lawyer'' Naruto asked with a serious look.
''Hmm...not yet, There's a problem you know'' Kushina said looking at Naruto.
''What problem'' Naruto asked with a speeding heart and a worry etched tone.
''My friend Mikoto Uchiha is a lawyer but when we were teenagers we both fell in love with Minato but he only loved me. So now if she would know about the case she would obviously help me but if Minato gave her a leg there are chances that she would turn on me at the final moment. That's why I haven't talked yet'' Kushina said and silence fell over. Kushina looked at Naruto and felt sad when he saw the worry and serious look on his face and he was sweating a little too.
Kushina grasped his hand in her and squeezed, ''Don't worry, my another friend also used to practice law. I will talk to her and see what happens and if it doesn't work I will go to other lawyers but I won't let anyone take you away from me" She said with determination and smiled when a small smile appeared on Naruto's face. After that their remaining day was spent as every day.
One week later, in the car Naruto and Kushina was going to their daily destination.
''Hey baby, yesterday I talked to my other lawyer friend and she agreed to help me'' Kushina said and Naruto's face lit up from the news, ''Really'' He asked with a big smile and Kushina nodded. Naruto unfastened his seatbelt which made Kushina confuse. He leaned up and wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her cheek making her squeak.
''N...Naruto I am driving'' She said but smiled, ''Now sit properly and fasten your seatbelt'' Kushina said in a stern voice but her smile said something else.
Kushina dropped him at school and drove to her office. Her eyes glanced at the rear view mirror and saw a black Toyota was behind her car. She had seen it half an hour ago but didn't act on it. It was obvious they were tailing her. She sped up the car over seventy and saw that her pursuers also increased their speed.
She had already reached her office; she drove in the parking and went to her office cabin.
She sat down and lifted a file. Opening it, she read the first page but after one line her mind shifted to the earlier pursuit. Who were they? Why were they tailing her? Were they tailing her or Naruto? Just as Naruto's name entered her mind she stiffened. She immediately dialed Naruto's number and it rang but Naruto didn't receive the call. 'He must be in his class' she thought gripped her phone tighter. She then messaged him to call her as soon as possible.
She leaned back and tried to calm down but her mind didn't stop creating questions.
'Who could it be? I never fight with anyone. I never hurt anyone, then who. Were they from that time…Nah they must have forgotten already….then…..Could it be Hiashi? But does he have timefor this after being excluded from the group. His company needs him more than trivial things like this' she ran her hand through her sweaty red locks and sighed. Just then her boss entered her cabin.
She stood up immediately, ''Sir, you must have called me'' Kushina said and he motioned her to sit down. Now Kushina knew that the matter was serious otherwise he would have called her.
''Sir, what's the matter'' Kushina asked in a professional tone.
Her boss cleared her throat and nodded to his secretary who handed Kushina a file.
Kushina took it and read and as she read the first page her eyes widened. She looked at her boss with questioning look.
He nodded, ''Yes Kushina, Hiashi's company's shares are the highest in cost in the market now'' he said with a voice which held surprise itself.
''But how could it be possible'' she said in a depress voice rubbing her temples.
''Kushina, your husband's, sorry ex-husband's company has been taken over by Hiashi. I don't know what the truth is but they are showing it like that to the world. They have leveled the cost of their products with the manufacturing cost and I don't know how he is filling for the loss'' he explained and Kushina heard with a worried look. He continued, ''You remember the power cut two days ago'' he asked and Kushina nodded, ''That power cut caused thousands of people's home electrical appliances to short circuit and now people is buying Hiashi's products on cheap price and government has also declared to reduce electricity bills as an apology and offer the help'' He finished and Kushina sank in her chair.
''What about Konoha industries, do you know anything about it'' Kushina asked wanting to know more about the situation and furthermore it was her Ex's company.
Her boss shook his head left and right, ''Nothing more just that they have announced that Konoha Industries will be under Hyuuga company. What the truth is, I don't know but what I am guessing is that Hiashi's going to use Minato's assets and have full benefit of it since they don't have engineers to make the components workings. Though, I think they have some but not enough experience so Hiashi will use Minato's Industry's engineers and as you know that the raw material is the thing that matters, Hiashi is in control but what Minato thinks I don't know'' he analyzed and theorized it to Kushina then stopped for a second and looked at Kushina intently making her uncomfortable, ''But I think you would know better since you were his wife and have lived with him so you must have a better knowledge of his tactics and scenarios about how he works'' he stated and Kushina sighed heavily.
''Well we were married for around five years. I was nineteen when we got married and we dated four years before marriage so I had known him for nine years. I used to take interest in business with him until I had a child and after that I devoted all my time to my child and stopped all my business attachments since my baby needed my full attention.
So I can only tell you about those nine years and those memories too have now faded so I will tell you whatever I can extract from my memories'' she told them. Kushina had already told her boss about her marriage so she didn't feel much awkward and it was also the matter of importance so she could put the awkwardness to side for some moments.
Her boss closed his eyes and nodded, ''Alright tomorrow I want a report about this Minato guy's ways of doing business'' he said and stood up, ''okay then you can continue your work'' he said nodding to her and just as he reached the semi-transparent glass door Kushina called him, ''Sir, I wanted to talk to you about something'' she blurted and he turned back, ''What is it'' he asked. Kushina nodded, ''Umm...well you are aware that I need to have a court session to have the custody of my child. And now that this all has happened, whatever Hiashi and Minato are planning or not, it can be a hurdle in my case against Minato because his company, as you had mentioned earlier that their shares are getting high prices, then money would be nothing for them to spent so...'' she trailed off and looked at her boss hopefully.
He smiled, ''Kushina you give me your report tomorrow and you are free until you are settled with your son and if you need money don't hesitate to ask'' he said and a grateful smile appeared on Kushina's face. She had enough money but it was the words, ''Thank you sir'' she said and bowed respectfully.
He nodded and walked out with his assistant.
Kushina fell back in her chair and blow out a long sigh from her luscious red lips. She closed her eyes, 'Damn, Hiashi's a lucky bitch and Minato...' she opened her eyes and stared at the file lying on the table in front of her.
Then suddenly her phone buzzed and her attention turned to phone. She saw the Id of the caller and immediately received the call, ''Naruto...'' she exclaimed anxiously.
''Hey mom, are you alright. I was in my class when you called me. I am sorry I couldn't pick it'' he said with a little worry in his voice which caused by her sudden outburst of his name.
Kushina sighed, ''Ah it's alright honey...are you okay'' she asked.
''Yeah I am alright but mom your breath seems erratic. Are you Okay, were you running or something'' he asked and Kushina was surprised he noticed her breath.
''It's nothing….Just exhausted...I think I will take the half day'' she said. She wasn't exhausted in body but her mind was. She was worried for his safety because now Hiashi didn't need to worry about his company.
''Mom it's okay, I will take the bus'' he said assuring her that it was no problem. They argued on this for two minutes. Kushina said she could wait in the waiting room in his school but Naruto denied her suggestion. He said her to go home and rest in a stern tone.
Kushina surrendered with a chuckle, ''Okay you win. I will go home and ...you know I am thinking to make use of the place behind our house since it is ours'' Kushina said and Naruto nodded, ''What will you build in that space'' Naruto asked wondering.
''What do you suggest'' she asked, ready to do what her son wanted.
Naruto thought for some seconds ''Hmm...what about a swimming pool'' Naruto replied, ''We can swim and do all fun activities and it also would help us to relax in summers'' he said with excitement .
''Hmm….That can be a great idea…. Alright a pool then… so you could do all fun activities under the water'' she said with a little teasing tone.
''Ah...you know what I mean by fun activities. I mean we could swim and play some volleyball or some water polo or some other games which you might be interested in'' he said and Kushina laughed.
''I know what you mean. Every game you have suggested includes a ball so I was wondering…. '' She replied giggling and trailed off.
"What" she heard Naruto say.
A teasing smirk formed on her face, "Well….I was wondering whose balls would we use….you know….yours or mine though…. mine are football size…" she said in a low and almost seductive voice on the phone.
Naruto didn't understand for a second then his body went red, ''Geez mom, you are such a …total tease and what about you. Wouldn't you flaunting around in your skimpy bikinis trying to make all the insinuations towards me, huh'' Naruto tried to tease back.
Again a smirk formed on her face, ''Well, Indeed, I will be in a bikini all the time and all over the pool. You don't know I love swimming and you know If you want...'' she said and paused for a second and whispered in the phone, ''I could walk around without a bikini in front of you and ….if you don't mind….I can join you in your fun activities under the water'' Kushina said with a little red face but she was hardly controlling herself from laughing. Naruto's face burned red, ''W...w...what I- um I...I th...think I need to go for my …..Um…class'' Naruto managed to say and immediately ended the call.
Kushina laughed hard for a minute in her office chair. She knew she did a little over than regular teasing. But she was having so much fun and it's not like she was doing anything inappropriate with him. She then calmed down slowly. It was afternoon so she decided to go home and plan for building a …swimming pool, she giggled again.
She stood up and walked out waving to the people who greeted her.
Soon she reached to her car and drove out of the office building. After driving for five minutes she looked at the rear view mirror and just as she had thought, a black car was behind her car.
She sighed and was annoyed. She pulled her car to the side of the road and looked at the black car and the black car also stopped around five meters away from her.
She contemplated her options, either she could go to that car and see what the problem was or call the cops. She sighed for umpteenth time. She had already decided. She wasn't your daily housewife. She was strong and a martial arts expert.
She opened the door and stepped out of her car. She looked around and noticed the area was crowded. She looked at the car and started to move towards the black car.
She tapped her finger on the window glass of driver's side but got no response. She sighed, irritate, she didn't wanted to cause a scene but it seems that the person inside the car was wanted a show. She tried two more times and tapped her knuckles on the window but still got no response and this time she lost it, anger surged through her body.
She stood straight back and walked in front of the car. She put a finger on the front hood of the car and she closed her eyes for a moment then opened. She lifted her hand and rolled her business suit's sleeve up to the elbow of her right hand and flexed her fingers and nodded. She lifted her right hand in upward direction. She moved her right leg backward and left leg forward and then brought her right hand's open palm on the front car hood bending it inwardly in the middle. It was like a hammer and had so much force behind it that her whole hand dug one inch in the hood. The engine stopped running and a green liquid started to leak from the front of the car. She stood straight and a man in his forties came out immediately cursing her, "You bitch who the fuck do you think you are and-" he stopped when she immediately slapped him leaving a red print of her hand on his cheek, draining him of his determination to teach a lesson to the woman as he had thought inside the car. He took her too lightly.
Kushina leaned towards him, ''Who are you and why were you tailing me. Answer me now'' she asked with fury in her eyes and a devil look on her beautiful face.
The man pissed his pants and stuttered, ''I d...don't K...Know. We talked on the phone. All our deals were on the phone. I don't know who the man is'' he said stuttering and trembling. Tears were flowing from his eyes and the smell of his piss started to spread. Kushina backed away in disgust, shrinking her nose.
She called the police and told them everything. They said they could visit her house in case they found anything or they could call her. She gave them her number and address.
She walked towards her car and then she noticed the crowd that had gathered around two cars.
She looked around and noticed the women have the admiration in her eyes and was awed, not only women but men too.
She opened the door of her car and entered inside, fired up the engine and drove. A shy smile formed on her lips when the shouts came from the crowed as words, cool, awesome. She drove to her home with pink face, not used to the public admiration.
After fifteen minutes she was in front of the school's gate but after checking the watch she sighed, it was still three hours to end the school for the day. So she decided to let Naruto travel by bus for today. And again drove to home.
Twenty minutes later she pulled in the garage and came out and entered in the house.
She threw the keys on the table in the living room and removed her business suite and unbuttoned her white shirt to four buttons making her large bust to bubble out of its confines. She removed her hair tie and let her shining blood red hair spread on her shoulders and back to her butt.
She made coffee and sipped it while checking the clock again and again. It was first time when she was alone at home after reuniting with her son.
She relaxed on the sofa after finishing her cup.
Her mind travelled back to the time when she made a one inch deep palm in the car. She was angry which was unusual. She stayed calm and cool most of the times. Hell she didn't loss her cool like that when Hiashi tried to force himself on her in her cabin not even when Minato brought that slut in her house and told her to leave.
She shook her head to clear it. She was worried about Naruto's safety, that's why it all happened.
She looked at her palm and sighed. She hadn't done any martial arts practice since her reunion. She nodded to herself and decided that she will start practice again and also start Naruto's training so that he could protect himself when she isn't around.
She closed her eyes and let her mind relax and let her senses flare. Through meditation she had reached on a level where she could sense and hear faraway things. She closed her eyes and went deep in her mind sensing everything around her. Hearing sounds meters away from her, the talking and laughing in her neighborhood families. She heard crying as well as someone's moaning and groaning.
She sensed the peoples in the houses, in the streets, wanderers. She heard the ticking of clock. Hmm...that was weird, her eyes snapped open and she stood up in panic and her eyes wondered around the house examining everything suspiciously.
She did not have a ticking clock. The second-hand of the clock in her house was a continuous rotation, hence no ticking. Either it was neighbor's clock or...
Her mind raced. She concentrated on the sound and realized it but it was too late. She ran towards the door as fast as she could and just as she opened the door and just as she took one step out ...*BOOM*
Kushina went flying like a leave in the wind when the shock wave hit her and her body crashed into the inside of the concrete wall very hard with some bone snapping sound, which also used as a boundary around her house, and immediately fell down unconscious and then all the rubble fell down on her.
A/N: Well that's it for now. The life of Naruto and Kushina is going to be a hectic and wild one. Anyway I hope you will like it.
I am thinking to write a new zombie fic which will be named as "Zombies Vs Ninjas and Magic". I haven't started to write it yet but I will soon. This will be a crossover but the pairing will not be a crossover. The pairs would be made from the same anime. It will be a modern fic where characters somehow come to remember their previous lives like Naruto will remember his life of being a shinobi and will use them against Zombies. Hope you will like it. If you have any suggestion then you can tell me.
Again I want to make you guys assure that I will not abandon my fic and try to complete them to the end. The life for me is not going smoothly so I am struggling to adjust.
