How I See The World (Menma Uzumaki Love Story) {DISCONTINUED}

Chapter 2 - Her Tragic Past

I was quickly rushed to the hospital after that. The doctor treated my eyes the best he could and said that I was lucky the injury wasn't as serious as he thought. I just had to keep the bandages on for a while until my eyes have healed. 

After I left hospital, in order for me to see, I had to rely on my senses. It wasn't easy as it sounds. I never was able to use my senses before. Not only did I have to rely on my senses, I also had to walk on my hands and feet so I could feel where I was going. 

I thought it was too dangerous to be walking in the streets, so I decided to try leaping from rooftop to rooftop. 

Two weeks later, I was able to scan the whole village with my senses, so I knew where I was going. This also have me the opportunity to work on my skills. When I place my hand on the ground, I can feel who is nearby.

I was also able to run a lot faster and react a lot quicker than I usually do due to me being blind and all. 

I ran through the woods, then skidded to stop before sniffing the air. "The training grounds... The K.I.A. Stone?" I murmured. I gave a gulp because I didn't like this place. This was where my father committed suicide and where I found my mother with that other man. 

*Flashback*

I hid behind a tree as I spotted my mother with another man. "Oh, it feels so good to have you in my arms, darling." The man said to my mom. "And it feels good to be your embrace, beloved." Mom replied to the man. "Mom? Why are you... with that man?" I whispered as I spied on them.

"If I only I could continue to hold you like this. That way, we an be together forever." The man said.

"I'd love that more than anything, my beloved. Tomorrow, I shall leave that God-forsaken man I call a husband. By then, it'll be just the two of us. Once and for all." Mom replied as she placed her hand on the man's cheek.

The man smiled at my mom and gently placed his hand over hers. He took her hand off of his cheek and kissed the back of it. "I can hardly wait, my darling." I gasped in shock as my eyes widened when the two of them kissed.

"No... This can't be true. It... must be a lie..." I whispered as I slowly took steps back. When I took another step back, my foot stepped on a twig, causing it to snap. I looked back towards my mom and the man as they broke their kiss. 

"What was that?" The man asked. "It must've been a deer or something. Don't worry about it." Mom said, and kissed the man again. I couldn't believe my eyes. I can't tell Dad. He would be heartbroken. What should I do?

The next day, my mother left my father for the man she was cheating off him with. My father completely broke down as he sobbed for hours. I wanted to comfort him, but he wouldn't let me as he yelled at me to go away.

By evening, my father said he was going out for a bit. He didn't look like himself, so I got worried and decided to follow him.

I had followed him into the woods as found him near the K.I.A Stone. "Why... Why did she have to leave me? What did I do wrong?" Dad asked as tears streamed down his face.

"Please... tell me what I did do wrong? Was it because of that child? But it was your idea to take her in, in the first place. You insisted that we adopted her and raise her. So, why... do you blame me?" Dad whispered before taking out a kunai knife. 

I screamed in terror when Dad plunged the knife into his heart. He fell to his knees, then fell on his side with blood pouring out of his wound. "No!" I ran over to him. "Dad! Dad! Don't leave me! Dad!" I begged. 

I took the kunai knife out of his chest and pressed my hands over the wound as blood quickly poured out. "So much blood! So much blood...! Dad, please tell me what to do! Please!" I begged. But I was too late. Dad had died while my mother abandoned me. 

I was all alone with no one to take care of me now. I saw there in the grass, sitting on my knees next to my Dad's corpse. My hair covered my eyes as the wind gently blew. A little while later, I was found by the ANBU Black Ops with my Dad's corpse. 

They interrogated me, asking me what I was doing outside this late at night and why my hands were covered in blood. I told them how my father committed suicide and I tried to save him. To no surprise, they didn't believe me since they found my fingerprints on the knife.

Because they couldn't arrest a child, they decided to let me go and keep tabs on me. 

*End of Flashback*

 Every now and then, I still spot members of the ANBU Black Ops on rooftops or hiding behind walls, watching my every move. "It's not my fault. None of this is my fault. It's not..." I whispered.
