Part 22
"It's safe to come out now."
Rue turned her head and saw Anko standing at the door.
They'd been in that room all day. After their nap the children talked amongst themselves. For the past few hours Rue felt unease growing in the pit of her stomach.
Getting up they left the room. Rue's eyes met Ankos begging unspoken pleads, demanding unasked answers.
Anko shook her head. Rue's heart raced. Unease clawed its way to the surface. Fear showed on her face.
Rue felt tears building up as she made her way through the people.
She went to the only place she could think to go; home.
She got there quickly. A few shinobi were clearing away carnage. That's when she saw them.
She stood outside her parents shop. The windows were broken, the walls bare. Rue's tears started flowing down her cheeks.
Bodies pulled from the shop were laid at her feet.
Faces still,
Eyes hazey,
There they were.
Rue screamed. Tears clouding her vision but she could see them clear as day.
Her parents, cold, lifeless, bloody.
She couldn't stop screaming. It sounded tortured, animalistic, agonizing. No one looked in her direction as she fell to her knees. Her voice grew hoarse and her tears kept falling.
Rue felt someone's arms wrap around her, but when she looked to see who, she saw no one.
Wiping her tears away, her screaming ended and she couldn't speak. She leaned over her parents and slipped the bracelet Arin had made off of Katya. As she did she caught a glimpse of Katya's stomach. Her mother had been run through.
Rue gasped and placed her hands on the baby bump for the first time since the pregnancy was announced.
She didn't know what she expected to feel, but she felt something. And maybe it was the demon chakra in her, but she felt the baby as if it were in her hands.
Small, fragile, cold, not alone. There was… two? Twins?
Rue pulled her hands away as if the fetus burned her and just stared at her mothers corpse.
