Chapter 67: Sad Day

Mayumi

I stood in my house staring myself in the mirror. It's been two days since the whole village invasion thing happened.

I was in all black. Bandages covering me all over yet under my clothing. Back from the dead looking barely alive.

"Let's go Mayumi." Minako said sadly.

Today was a sad day. We'd pay respect to those who've fallen especially the Third Hokage.  His funeral service was today.

Not even Minako had the heart to be disrespectful to me on a day like today.

I held a bunch of daisies in my hands and followed my father, Minako, and her mother out the house.

As we walked out or compound, someone was leaning against the wall.

"Shouldn't you be on your way to the-"

"I waited for you.  I wanted to go with you."  He stayed with his determined smirked.

"Why me?"  I asked as he took a step closer to me, but I stepped back nervously.

He still tried to reach for me.  I stopped in my tracks and watched as his arm slowly shook as if he was scared to touch me.

"Dammit!"  He gripped his arm.  "If I caught you, you wouldn't be like this!"  He was angry with himself.

"Sasuke..  It's okay.  We have to go now."  I stated slowly walking as he followed.

"So who are those daisies for?" He asked curiously.

"It's nothing really."

I found a way to get Sasuke off my back on the way to the service.  I made my way to the cemetery. 

I looked through the graves and found the one that made my heart shake.

"Mom." I dropped to my knees.  "I learned the truth.  I killed you...and I'm so sorry.  Sorry won't bring you back, I don't know what I'm saying.  I don't know what to say!"  I sat there confused with myself.  I wanted to come here.  Why am I acting like I don't want to be here?

"I'm here.  I picked myself up to face you now knowing the truth and it hurts so much.  I do remember your kind face cherishing me, I ended that with these eyes.  I'm sorry.  I just don't know what to say."  I slowly sobbed.

"When you were gone, I truly fell to a pit of loneliness.  I think I'm finding my way out...but do I deserve it?"  I questioned as the sound of rain filled the area.  I placed the daisies on the grave.

"Minako told you the truth."  I heard my fathers voice.

"She did through another person."  He shifted behind me.

"How do you feel?"  He asked.

"Like an idiot."

"Why would you feel like an idiot?  You should be mad at me.." My father spoke and my blood started to boil.

I got up and turned to him.  "WHY SHOULD I BE MAD AT YOU?!  I'M MAD AT MYSELF!  I KILLED HER!" I screamed at him.  "I'm sorry..  so sorry.."

"You killed her?"  He questioned confused.  Are we talking about the same thing?  "Y-Yeah you did." He stuttered as if he accepted the situation.  What was he hiding?

"What?  Did she lie again?"  I asked and my father hesitated but he eventually shook his head.

"You should be at the funeral."  My father stated grabbing my hand but I was quick to remove it.

"I'm not done here.  I can walk myself."  I stated.

Barely...

Now you're back.

"Okay Mayumi."  My father quickly walked away.  I took a deep breath and sighed.  I turned to see Toshiko.  She was paying respects to someone.

I walked towards her.

"I promise I'll avenge you grandfather...Tobirama..  The Black Dragon killed you.  I have him in my grasp."  I heard her speak and my eyes widened.

I turned and walked away.

I needed to get out of here.
