Kana's pov
Flash back ( to the day they had the talk )
My head was spinning slightly, my breath hitched up and it feels like my lungs are being squeezed out the little oxygen it has left...beads of sweats were dripping down my face as I bit down on my quivering lips...I never knew a question..just one question would break me to this extent, A question deeper than it actually seems to be, simple yet complicated...He asked:
"What's your story?"
I finally found my way to the living room after sensing his chakra signature and here we are now on a soft rug in a wooden room with little to no furnitures talking,...to be honest I still don't trust this lad one bit..well maybe I do or not i don't even know which
Up until this point I've bottled it all up, the pain, the anger, the resentment...but strongest of all..the regrets, I should have never left his side, not for a minute not for even a second..but I did, He is long gone..never to come back to me..never am I gonna hear his soft voice singing lullabies to me as I sleep albeit knowing am too big for it now, I won't be able to get annoyed with him fussing about little bruises I made during training because he..is not here anymore...oh yukimoto......
"And why should I?..tell me bout yourself first!" I snarled gulping down all my emotions and hiding it with anger...but..it isnt working, I can feel my eyes blurry with unshed tears, the tears I refuse to shed. I. Will. Not. Break!
"Uhm...okay?" The blonde haired boy said sounding unsure as he looks at me with what seems to be worry...why?..just why in the world does he fucking care!?
"Well..as you know already am naruto uzumaki namikaze.." he begins taking a shaky breath "i've been neglected by my parents for something they caused on me, my village hates the very thought of me...they physically abuse me and my parents know and don't do a thing about it, they think am danger..although i will never hurt a fly knowingly, I hate choosing this path of the ninja..but..in this ninja world it's either learn to survive or get killed..I thought that it couldn't get worse..but it did... my own mother saw me as scum, she throws insults at me calls me a disgrace, a failure of an uzumaki namikaze....my father from ignoring me to resenting me...and all this for what they put upon me. I had to live in a dusty rotten attic in an enormous mansion with over 19 rooms..but hey isnt that normal with any neglected child, sometimes I wish I was never born..but since I was, there must be a reason behind it and I promise to find that reason for my existence just you wait.." naruto finished with a determined look as he wiped the stream of tears rolling down his face.
I sniffed only to realize I've been crying too....he's been through a lot and am sure that's not all, God I can't help but understand his pain and that's just a fraction of it who knows what more he's hiding under those mesmerizing eyes of his..
I moved closer till I was in front of him, he looks up confused then I took both of us by surprise by hugging him so damn tight..he didn't take 2 seconds before hugging back, who would've known mere eight year olds have seen the world in so oh so so so many terrifying wayd most adults have never thought existed..hmm I think I hate this boy a little less..key word being a little.
I pulled apart to see him with a small smile, I smiled back ruffling his locks he chuckled cutely with a small blush on his face. God he is so freaking cute! *coughs coughs* uhm..sorry about that..
"Thank you.." he says pushing a few golden strands back. I nodded then took his hand squeezing it a bit, like telling him he could trust me..he nods understanding then took slow steady breathes.
"Am...a jinchuriki.." he trails off looking up to see my reactions.
"Oh..naruto" I muttered pulling him in a tight hug. "Am sorry if it must have been hard for you..I know saying sorry wouldn't change a thing about the pain you have been through...but know that I won't leave you, we got each other okay?" I say amidst the hug. It took a couple of seconds before he finally nods, letting out a sigh of relief I hug him tighter than ever. We didn't break apart because I heard his soft sobs and am pretty sure he doesn't wants me to see him cry so I let him be till he calms down.
