Kyuubi Love
To Cure the Curse (Chapter 8)
It was raining but it was mild. Nomi was staring at the outside view of the window. She's having the imaginary sight of her grandma's act.
'Grandma…' Nomi said in her mind.
"Nomi. Are you okay?" Naruto said.
"Yeah. I was just thinking about grandma." Nomi said.
"It's okay, Nomi. We will help you." Hinata said.
"Arigato Naruto, Hinata." Nomi said.
Then, Nomi cried so hard. Hinata hugged her. Nomi cried and cried till she falls asleep.
"She's asleep." Hinata said.
"Yeah." Naruto said.
The nurse suddenly got out of Nanny's room. She approached Naruto, Hinata and Nomi.
"She's going to be okay. She's only having a mild fever for now. She's going to be okay." The nurse said.
"Arigato gossaimassu." Hinata said.
"Awwww…she's asleep? Let me bring her to her room." The nurse said.
Then, the nurse carried Nomi to her room.
"Naruto-kun." Hinata said.
"Yes, Hinata-chan?" Naruto said.
"Let's go to Nanny-san's room again." Hinata said.
"Okay." Naruto said.
Then, Naruto and Hinata went back to Nanny's room. Hinata stood beside Nanny while Naruto stood beside Hinata.
"Byaakugan!" Hinata said.
When Hinata used Byaakugan, she noticed that black chakra was surrounding in Nanny's body.
'Black Chakra' Hinata said in her mind.
"What is it, Hinata-chan?" Naruto said.
"Nanny-san's chakra in her body is color black." Hinata said.
After a few hours, Naruto stayed at Nanny's room. He kept thinking the reason of Nanny's curse and the cure to Nanny's curse.
"Naruto-kun?" Hinata said.
"Koneecheewa, Hinata-chan." Naruto said.
"You have been thinking too much. You should rest a bit." Hinata said.
"I'm so confused." Naruto said.
"It's okay. We'll think of a way. Besides, you don't know how to give up. So, nothing's impossible if it's a positive thing for you to reach." Hinata said.
Naruto held his hand to Hinata's face.
"Arigato, Hinata-chan." Naruto said.
Hinata smiled tenderly at Naruto. Nanny gently opened her eyes.
"Naruto…Hinata…" Nanny said.
"Nanny ba-chan!" Naruto said.
"Are you okay?" Hinata said.
"A little. Uhmm…where's Nomi?" Nanny said.
"She's in her room. Sleeping. She cried a lot because of what happened." Naruto said.
"Nomi…" Nanny said.
"Nanny-san." Hinata said.
"Yes, Hinata?" Nanny said.
"Did you know why did that happened to you a while ago?" Hinata said.
Then, Nanny looked down and had a sad look.
"When I was little, I was living in the Chiren Village. My family and I were very happy. I was on my way home from school. Before I go home, I called at home. My mom answered. I said I was on my way. It was my birthday. After that, I was almost there when suddenly I saw smoke on the same spot of my house. I had the sudden feeling that it was my house that was on fire. When I arrived at that spot, I saw that it was my house that's on fire. I saw my cousin, Mikailu, laughing so loud like a devil. I didn't know what to do so I ran as far as I can however Mikailu suddenly popped out of nowhere. I couldn't move. She did some kind of technique on me. Then, this seal suddenly appeared on my chest. After that, Mikailu vanished. I walked and walked. Having nothing to eat or to drink. When I suddenly saw a village called Norshika. And here I am. Old. The curse gets worse. That birthday when I was little was the worst birthday of my life." Nanny said.
"Do you know any cure?" Hinata said.
"Only one. It is said that to cure the curse is to kill the one who caused it." Nanny said.
"Okay! So we find this Mikailu." Naruto said.
"Can you do it?" Nanny said.
"Of course we can! We are ninjas from the Konoha village!" Naruto said.
Nanny smiled.
"You are full of determination. I can feel the power of your courage. Mikailu is in the Chiren Village. I will give you a map. It is there by the table." Nanny said.
Hinata went by the table and took the map.
"That map is no ordinary map. It can trace where you are right now. Come here Hinata. Go beside Naruto. Then, place the map in front of me" Nanny said.
Hinata went beside Naruto. Then, she placed the map in front of Nanny. Nanny pointed her hands to both heads of Naruto and Hinata and whispered some words. Then, she placed both of her hands in the map.
"The two circles are the both of you. The blue one is Naruto, the red one is Hinata." Nanny said.
"Okay. We will be going then." Naruto said.
Naruto and Hinata was about to go out of Nanny's room.
"Naruto. Hinata. Wait!" Nanny said.
"Nani, Nanny-san?" Hinata said.
"Take care. Please." Nanny said.
"We will." Naruto said.
Naruto and Hinata packed some of their stuff and went out to Chiren Village.
