The One Who Was Loved | o13
Uzumaki Mito was a motherly person. She loved and cared for her friends, and she worried for every citizen in the village as a mother would, whether they were young or old.
Tobirama knew this, but when he entered his brother's home he didn't know why he was surprised to see Mito helping the Uchiha woman in the dining room. The two women sat, enjoying themselves with fruits, as they flipped through pages of baby magazines.
He hadn't wanted to deal with the woman yet. He was still trying to figure his feelings. He didn't want to deal with it. His month mission was not enough time to solve the problem.
Welcome back, Tobirama, Mito said.
I am back, Sister.
Good morning, Nyorai spoke.
Good morning.
Would you like to join us? Mito inquired. We are looking for furniture for the babe's room.
Tobirama took the seat beside Nyorai, as the one next to his sister-in-law was occupied by a stack of baby books and brochures. He studied the open magazine before him, while Mito excused herself to the bathroom.
They sat quietly, flipping through pages awkwardly.
Have you found the sex of the child?
No, I wish it to be of a surprise.
And, what of a name for the child?
I have not thought of one.
Have you thought of a few at least?
Yes, many, really. Would you like to choose?
I cannot possibly. The name should be given by the child's parents, not a stranger.
You are no stranger.
I still cannot.
Tobirama is someone I appreciate.
He gave in, and she smiled.
For boys I have thought of: Izuna, Kagami, Kaede, and Shou. As for girls, I thought of: Chouko and Tora.
Tobirama stared at the colorful page. Kagami and Tora.
She grinned. I had the same thought! She exclaimed.
That is good.
