Unconditionally yours

The next day

"How can you do this all day!? getting the water! cutting down fruits and vegetables! gathering herbs and making medicine! going hunting! prepping everything! doing the laundry! even fixing your home! how are you even alive at this point!? not to mention going to the village! this is ridiculous!".  Tsunade exclaimed as she laid down on her back in exhaustion, try to catch her breath, I sweatdropped as I sat up on my futon, I wasn't allowed to get out of bed and was on bed rest.

During the morning, I could hear her rant and curse, she asked me to give me all of them and to not leave any out which I reluctantly did, she even cook breakfast for us, Yuichiro and Muichiro had to leave since they had to go do their own job but will be back later when their done. Yuichiro wasn't convinced on leaving me alone with her but didn't want Muichiro to work by himself, so he did his little threat to her before leaving.

"You can take a break if you want too, I'm feeling alright so I could help you...".

"Absolutely not! don't you move from that bed, young lady!". She exclaimed as she pointed at me without moving an inch.

"Tsunade, you just went to get water". I deadpanned.

"Which is down the pathway!".

"How many buckets did you fill?".

".......One". She mumbled under her breath.

"How are you tired from filling a bucket!? the pathway to the river is only 5 minutes away!". I exclaimed.

"I haven't worked this hard before! I'm a fighter not a worker!". She argued back.

"You said you've been traveling this whole time! walking 5 minutes and back should be nothing to you! the water bucket isn't that heavy either for you to react like this! I do this every day and I be perfectly fine! if you won't do it, I will!". I retorted; she sighed heavily as she forced herself to get up.

'I'm being scolded by a child, that's so messed up on so many levels'. She thought with a gloom over her as she dragged her feet on the ground as she left, I rolled my eyes.

'Unbelievable'. I thought as I shook my head, I was beyond bored, sitting down doing nothing bothered me a lot, even more so when someone does my work, I'm not used to it, especially someone as slow as Tsunade.

I shouldn't complain though, she's doing the best she could, helping me out of her own time when she could be doing something else, like finding her companion.

'I wonder where they are. They must be so worried about Tsunade; she seems like a handful, so I feel a little bad for them, she's more of a child than me'. I thought plainly.

"I wonder if she's in the village, I should ask Yui to see if they can find them when they come back". I said to myself as I laid back down, I have to admit, I was a little worn out and sore from working so hard this week, I don't think I could get up if I wanted to, my mind is telling me to, but my body says otherwise, I should listen this time and not get sick again and worry all of them, especially Yuichiro, I should visit their parents soon and pay my respects.

I miss them a lot, I would stay over all the time, and they would visit me to make sure I was ok, When I heard of their passing, I cried a lot with Muichiro, it was storming heavily that day, Ji-Ji made me stay with him till the next day. If I was there, they would still be alive, I also knew that it changed Yuichiro a lot, he was tougher on us, even his words.

He felt like he need to step up since he was older than us, he felt like it was his responsibility to do so but I know he's hurting just like us but kept it inside, and that, turned into anger.
