Uchiha Kyodai

A Black Hole That Absorbs All The Light But Never Gets Any Brighter

Kyodai loved her brothers dearly, but they could be so dense sometimes. Kishou had just been confronted by a girl earlier. She confessed and gave him sweets. Kichou had also been confronted and given sweets earlier. They both had insisted the girls keep their, and Kyodai quotes, hard earned privileges. Apparently they missed the confession part. Kyodai tried to explain to them the girls' actions. It didn't work too well. She tried forty-three times. It certainly didn't help that Kyodai didn't fully understand why the girls wanted to give them sweets. She knew why, but she didn't understand. Kishou and Kichou definitely didn't get why, nor did they understand.

This would be the very first time in six years that Kyodai would approach her mother. Her mother, Yuei, was a very distant person who seemed detached from reality except when in battle. She no longer participated in fighting though. Yuei had ten kids in a row, all of them twins, and it had really taken a toll on her. Kyodai had a fraternal twin who died young. She never got a name. Kyodai didn't like her mother, but she didn't hate her. Yuei didn't seem to particularly like any of her children, but she tolerated the boys. Kyodai knew that her brothers weren't that fond of their mother, but they didn't remember what she looked like.

Kyodai found Yuei in one of the gardens. Kyodai quietly asked her mother to direct Kishou and Kichou. It wouldn't do them any good if they brooded over the two girls for the rest of their lives. Yuei must have been bored because she agreed. As one of their many aunts of course.

After that day, Kishou and Kichou always asked when their favorite aunt had extra time to talk to them. Kyodai didn't have the heart to tell them who Yuei really was. She was thankful that her mother actually spoke to her brothers. Maybe, just maybe, things could get better for Kyodai's family.

I came up with the quote for this chapter a looong time ago; I had been discussing the idiots of this world with my sister and it just slipped out.

I do not own the Naruto series
