Foul Love (Sasuke x OC)

29

My feet dangle off the edge of the dock. Setami is due in one month from now, and the nerves of having a little sister are finally kicking in. Am I really going to be good enough for her? All my life I've taken care of Naruto, but was I ever really good at it? Sasuke comes to mind, he always told me I was a caring person. Honestly I try my best to be, but it doesn't come naturally. Looking out for Naruto has always been my top priority, but now there are so many people I want to protect.

As I slide down the dock, I land on top of the water. There's time for me to get some training done before the sun rises, so I'll go at it as hard as I can.

Lacing my fingers through different hand signs I whisper, "Water style, whirlpool." The water under me starts to spin rapidly and I quickly rush to the dock. Soon enough, the entire lake is starting to rush around one point.

From the dock I make more hand signs, "Lightning Style, Storm cloud." A cloud forms over the pond and I point to a tree across the way. Seven lightning strikes simultaneously go after said tree, resulting in the tree being charred and almost completely obliterated.

"One more," I whisper as I prepare another hand sign. The pond calms down and the storm cloud vanishes. This next jutsu was one I developed on my own, and no one knew about it. "Elemental, Forces of Nature," I shout and complete the signs. Wind rustles around me and forms a twister over the water. Water, fire, and lightning can be seen rustling with the wind. The tornado is in full affect, but I don't do anything with it. Normally I'd be able to move around the monstrous attack, but I don't want to damage anything. My hair is whipping around in the harsh winds, and a smile forms on my face. I forgot what it felt like to be in control of such power... I've never performed this jutsu to it's full potential, and I have no plans to until I'm out of the village. As the whirlwind dissipates, the trees stop shaking and the water calms down once more. My hair returns to it's original spot, and I pat it down. No doubt I've gotten very strong in this past year, but it's not enough. Setami has forbid me from using Kurama's chakra too, so it's been a while since I've been able to let go and feel that power.

I've been restless since the attack on the village, and I know I need to get out of here soon. I hope when I leave I'll be able to really let go of everything and be myself again. Worrying about everyone has been stressful and I need to start focusing on myself.

Once I'm back at my house, Setami is already awake and eating rice balls with pickle juice drenched on top.

"Where have you been kiddo?" she asks me while stuffing her face.

With a questioning look I answer her, "Some training... What are you doing."

She shrugs. "Come here, I want to show you something."

I walk over to her and she takes my hand, and places it on her stomach.

"What are you-"

"Just wait," Setami says.

A little bit of pressure pushes on my hand, and I realize what's happening. "She's eight months, shouldn't she have been kicking already?" I ask with a small smile on my face.

"Of course she has, you've just been out so often that I haven't been able to show you."

Sadness comes to me, I really haven't been spending as much time with her as I should have. She's pregnant and I told her I'd help and take care of her, but I've been training or hanging out with Tenten, Neji, or Shikamaru. "I'm sorry," I apologize softly.

"Don't worry Madi, you're a fifteen year old girl, it's normal for you to be out a lot. Don't you think I would have said anything if I was concerned?"
