X OUR TRAGEDY X [Senju Tobirama AU]

Chapter 48

~Niyo's POV~

I knew the moment I woke up that something was very wrong or well, had gone very wrong. I was disoriented and out of sorts so it took me some hard recalling to remember that I had temporary blindness, broken hands and various other cuts and bruises, not to mention zero chakra and the damned miscarriage bleeding to deal with as well. I had every right to be rude and angry.

I pretended to be asleep, not knowing if it was day or night. I tried forcing myself to feel some chakra but it only increased my exhaustion so I decided to quit straining myself for the time being. I laid limp but got tired of it as well in a few minutes and sighed really loudly so at least some frustration would be let out.

"Are you done pretending to be asleep?"

"I have a genuine reason to be a total bitch so don't provoke me please." I answered Tobirama who sighed in return.

"Of course you have a reason."

"Was that sarcasm? Did you roll your eyes? I can't see." I wanted to make light conversation but I found myself talking more than I had intended. I wanted to be angry too but I found myself failing at it when he was my partner.

"I won't say it was your stupidity that consequently got you unable to see for a while-"

"Yeah try blaming me, see how that turns out."

"Let me finish." I shrugged. "In the time I have been with you. I have come to know that you value life over so many other things and so I knew that if I had allowed your revenge to be carried out, when the anger had passed and gone, you would have regretted taking your father's life in such rage that made you unable to think. I won't apologise for stopping you but I will say that I am sorry that you did not find it suitable to let me help you and instead took upon methods that hurt you."

I didn't know what to say. Putting myself through danger and pain was alright because I was the only one who had to deal with it but now... he was right. I felt guilty just thinking about the pain I must have caused Tobirama and when I thought that had I killed my father in a blind rage, I would have also unnecessarily hurt many other people in the process too.

"Come here." I told my husband and felt him shift soon after, feeling his weight on the bed space beside me. I reached my hand out and felt his shoulder and pulled on his collar so his face would get closer and once it did, I kissed his forehead as best as I could without being able to see and comprehend without my eyes and chakra. "I am sorry for putting you under that weight and thank you for stopping me."

"Hmm." His response was a little too late that I picked on it.

"Did you sleep at all?"

"How could I? I was worried, speaking of which, anija would be here soon to heal all that he can so please try your best not to hit him." I laughed but stopped the moment my whole body started aching from it.

"Yeah ok."

"Honestly what were you thinking?! I took your chakra so you won't do something so stupid and rash!" Hashirama-sama scolded me. I was trying to keep calm and not burst at him but he was really testing my patience. "Jeez, really."

"Anija, stop, she's already been through enough." I clenched and unclenched my now healed fists while Tobirama talked to his brother. It was like their roles and characters had reversed for a moment.

"No, this will not do-" I stopped him short by planting my fist in his abdomen, rather forcefully.

"Hey, it's healed! Thanks!"

"I-it hurts..."

"Did I hit someone? Sorry I can't see." I smirked at the end of my innocent excuse.

"I w-will heal your eyes first then...ouch." Hashirama-sama said and I felt his hands on my eyes.

"You had it coming dear." I heard Mito-san. I hadn't noticed her presence till she spoke.

"Can I go out after this?" My eyes tingled at the chakra contact but nothing changed when I opened them. "I still can't see."

"Well the poison sample Tobirama gave me told me that it was rather strong so you might have to wait for a few more hours for the medicine's effects to kick in." The older Senju said.

"What medicine?" I wasn't told about any medicines but I wasn't given much time to think about it either when I felt a sharp as hell pain in my neck. "What the fuck kind of medicine has to be administered in such a brutal way?!" I rubbed my neck to soothe the pain but it wasn't going.

"It was a bug's bite."

"The what?!"

"It's the closest we currently have to a proper medicine. I am still working on a way to extract the necessary nutrients without harming the creature."

I let them all talk and converse while I was being healed, my mind was elsewhere. I wanted to get out of this room, it had started feeling stuffy and my overall exhaustion wasn't helping me. I felt claustrophobic at the worst times.

"Ok that's enough talking, give her some space." I sighed in relief and thanked Tobirama when he got back from showing everyone out of the room. "Time for your food."

"Can I really go outside please?"

"Will you eat then?"

"Yes, now help me up, some things still ache." I held my arms in front of me so it would be easier for Tobirama to help me stand but he just straight up picked me up in both his arms and put me on the porch we had outside the room. I had little time to react about all this. It was new to me, being picked up like that and I liked it.

"Now, eat." I rolled my eyes at him when I felt a spoon at my bottom lip.

"Alright jeez." I was being fed rice. "I can actually eat by myself so you can do your work if you wish. I know you must have a lot of stuff piled up so..."

"I will set up my table here then."

"That's best."

I silently ate while Tobirama pulled some desks and brought his papers and stuff where I was. I would occasionally take a glance in his general direction in hopes that I would be able to see him. A strong flew and I had to close my eyes from the force of it but when I opened them, I started getting blurs of light back that gradually became clearer and clearer.

My instincts automatically shifted my focus to where Tobirama was sitting and I sighed a big sigh of relief when I was able to see him, all white and beautiful. He had his brush near his lips, deep in thought and his hair were dancing in the wind, the setting sun making a reddish shade shine in contrast to his white ones. It was all a bit too much to take in all of a sudden and I felt overwhelmed.

I put my bowl aside and got up, making sure to not end up falling. I still felt light headed and nauseous but the steps I took towards my husband, one at a time, soothed all those aches and ailments, one at a time, till I out my arms around his shoulders and hugged him, burying my face in the back of his neck.

"So you are able to see now?"

"Yes and I know I am being demanding but put all this away and let's go to sleep."

"I am willing to oblige." I kissed his cheek and decided to get up but he pulled me by my arm and picked me again.

I felt loved and secure.
