I apologize for what I had said, Tobirama spoke.

No, do not apologize. Nyorai faced him with a sweet smile. I was at fault; I did not take your feelings into consideration and had wished for another man in my company.

The two were at a portion of the village left unfinished. They stood underneath a shaded tree, watching the glittering waterfall. It was preserved for use as a training ground in the near future.

I met Shirogane, Tobirama started. And, Houki.

It is just as you see it.

What will your clan do of it? I am certain they are not willing for Shirogane to roam the street with another woman in his arms, while you bare his child.

He will leave to Sunagakure no Sato with her; he will restart his life and never mention our marriage.

They both were quiet.

Tobirama watched her close her eyes. She took in the smell of the water and the trees and the man beside her. Wind blew her black curls towards him, and he unconsciously reached forward to touch it. Her ebony hair was mesmerizing. They looked of the night sky.

He brought it closer to his face. A faint smell of carnations emitted from her hair. He released it, and Nyorai opened her eyes to meet his.

She lowered her head and gently pressed her stomach with her hands.
