Tale of the moon

Chapter 2

The forest became silent as Usagi tried to catch up on Saizo's words. "What did you just say? "

"You will be wedded and bear a child. " Saizo repeated.

Usagi shook her head as fast as she can. "No, no, no, I can't do that, I don't want to do that. "

Saizo banged his walking stick to the ground. "If you don't want to do that then go and live like a normal ninja that does missions! "

Usagi became quiet. How can my great grandfather do this to me he knows how I feel more than anyone, but I guess he just doesn't care for what I feel.

"Usagi-sama is already a proud ninja!" said by the small little boy who had tears in his eyes.

Saizo sighed to what Mamezou said. It is true that if Usagi just did ninpo then he won't have to worry anymore, but since Mamezou came into her life she furthered herself from having anything to do with being a ninja.

Saizo walked over to Mamezou and grab his shirt from behind and lifted him up. "Let me go! Let me go! "

"As you wish. " as he said that he throwed Mamezou to the side.

The little boy was about to hit the tree, when suddenly a dark shadow passed Saizo's sight and the next thing he knew is that Usagi had already stopped Mamezou from hitting the tree and was caressing the crying boy.

Saizo couldn't believe his eyes, he actually couldn't see Usagi running to the tree and not only that, she had gotten there before Mamezou could even had contact with the tree.

Usagi coaxed the little boy who is crying on her shoulders. "There, there, it's alright now I got you. I won't let anything happen to you. "

"So you can actually do it if you wanted to. How dare you trick me in thinking you don't know! " Saizo cried as he banged his walking stick.

"How dare you, do this to a five years old boy, even if he is a shinobi, a child will always be afraid when he is thrown by a tree. " Usagi said as she put down Mamezou and patted his head.

Usagi turned to Saizo. "I choose to be like this. Ninjutsu or genjutsu are both useless! Even though I train everyday I still couldn't save my mother! "

Saizo was shocked when he saw the look on Usagi's face. Such piercing eyes, the more you look at them the more you'll be drawn by fear.

In that moment Saizo felt shivers down his spine when Usagi came near him while glaring into his eyes. Those red crimson eyes that stared at Saizo was very beautiful yet very sad and frightening, seeing this Saizo felt the pain of Usagi.

"If you dare do that again, I swear that you will see me use my ninjutsu and genjutsu on you. " Usagi said as she stared at Saizo.

Saizo's mouth curved up. If this is the only way she would be willing to use ninpo then he will be not having much trouble on it, if she wasn't his granddaughter. And since he is her great grandfather, he still could not bring himself to do it. If he were to do it, Usagi might be really broken that nothing can ever fix her up and everything will happen all over again.

"Fine if you really don't want to marry, then I suggest that Mamezou will be the one to carry out your ninja duties. " Saizo said seriously.

"But if you do agree then Mamezou will be put into extreme training. Of course being the the replacement of the great granddaughter of the chief, the missions will be dangerous and will acquire professionalism. "

Usagi thought about it and she knows Mamezou won't be cut out for it and so she can only agree to marry. "Fine I'll do it! But you need to approve of him accompanying me!"

"Alright, now that it is all settled pack your things and go directly to the Adagaki village. " Saizo said happily.

"Now!? Can't we wait for a day or two? " she said as she looked at the little boy.

We can't really go now.

Usagi then had an idea that can make Saizo agree. "Isn't it not wise to go there without informing them first? Besides why rush, there's still tons of time. "

"Do not worry about that, I already took care of it." Saizo already know that Usagi will make this her excuse for not going and will think of another plan on making him rethink his decision. And so he already took care of it a month ago, his great granddaughter might be smart but his the wise man here.

"Already took care of it? When? " Usagi knew her great grandfather and he won't be easy to out Witt.

"A month ago. "

"What? A month ago!? Just how desperate are you! "

Saizo started to walk around and narrowed his eyes and looked towards Usagi. "Child, are you planning to change my mind? "

Usagi jumped in shock. "No, not really." she said as she looked away.

"Hmm. I hope you know that if you ran away from this I will definitely disown you. And the Suzumiya clan will personally hunt you down. " he said seriously while spinning his walking stick. "I know you will survive, but will you be able to protect Mamezou from dusk to dawn? "

"I already said I accept, didn't I? And I don't go back on my words! " Usagi was furious to what Saizo said and to make matters worst she can no longer devise a plan, even if she did the outcome will be the same.

Usagi looked at the little boy who is still frightened. Usagi picked Mamezou up and turned towards Saizo. "Is there anything else? We have to start packing now. "

Saizo shook his head, indicating that there was nothing anymore for him to say.

Usagi was about to leave with Mamezou when suddenly she turned around to Saizo. "Hey! Just who exactly is the person I'm going to marry?"
