Chapter 132

I do not own pic!

You were alone at home as lady Noriko hadn't come yet as usual, you have gotten better during this period of time, in fact you have gotten as good and healthy before, or a little bit more than that.
The lady wasn't sleeping at your home always as before, after she made sure you're fine on your own and after all her attempts to make you move in with her again failed, she had to get back to her home, so she can be close to the centre of the village and the hospital and to the other people that need her, but still, she was visiting you daily, and spending her whole time with you until it's night, and after dinner and making sure you don't need anything she leaves to her house, so at morning she can reach the hospital soon.

There was still no signal for Itachi, no clue whether he is alive or dead. You were still suffering much from the morning sickness and the pregnancy cravings, but the worst part of this was when you have that overwhelming feeling of the need for Itachi, an intense unexplainable need that comes suddenly at unexpected times, sometimes you can't help yourself as you start crying hysterically wanting to feel him close to you, or touch him, you'd wake up at three in the morning not knowing what to do about it, this baby wants its dad very badly and this was driving you crazy, you'd rush to your closet and grab his clothes and hug them dearly to you and bury your face in them, taking as much as you can from his scent that still remains in them, this was somehow make the great desire for Itachi subsided, at least for a while, as you then slowly get fall asleep dreaming of him.

Four months had passed...

You looked down at your belly, the bump is showing up, the baby is now six months old. You smiled as you gently passed your hand over your belly trying to feel your boy's little body, giggling slightly as you felt him move inside, you smiled as you looked at yourself in the mirror, your cheeks are now cute pink, your face seems so healthy and lively, your skin is so clear and smooth and beautiful, and lips are pink not pale anymore, your hair is no longer falling and and now it has even grown back thicker and longer than before, you walked downstairs with careful steps, as you heard the front door open, it is time to go out.
"Hey my lady! you came!", you said with a smile walking to her and placing your satchel over your shoulder.

"I see you're ready, my beautiful girl", she said with a chuckle as you nodded then headed out with her, as you two decided to go out for a walk. The lady had decided to take you out three days a week for walk in the village, to help you get some fresh air and also, because it was meant to easen the birth giving.

"Things are really getting tough!! We should really take other measures to protect ourselves and our village from outside threats!", a villager said with a high pitched voice full of worry as a group of people surrounded him. This sentence caught your attention while you were walking by them, you walked to them to see what's the matter as the lady followed you, you managed to make your way through the crowd of people, it seems something serious is happening.
"Yeah! I heard the same from a friend who has been on a trip there", another added, while you were still clueless what they are talking about.
"It seems a shinobi war is a about to start, and we will be in a great risk in case things got worse and they reached for us!", shinobi? You felt your heart beating fast at this.
"What's going on exactly?!", you asked loudly, no longer able to just stand and listen to them, as so many of the others turned to you, you can hear them whisper, rumors...

Did she got married secretly?
Who is the man she married?
I heard he abandoned her with a baby soon after they got married...
I heard the man wasn't even from here, she met him somehow when she used to go away for 'learning and studying'
Some had seen him with her, and they said he is so hot! No wonder she fell for him so carelessly! Poor thing....

You had gotten used to these whispers and rumors, but you don't care what other think, they should keep their opinions for themselves, all you want to know now, is what's going on in the great ninja nations!!
"Oh! Lady [name], it's you! We are talking about the ninja war, things are getting worse, it will be so risky if anyone goes out near the great ninja nations, there are lots of fights and battles going on there, and soon it will turn into an ultimate ninja war!", the first villager said, as you listened, while remembering those days you have been in the Akatsuki...

The infinit tsukoyumi...it's the goal of this war he is talking about! It's all Madara's doing! And he is not giving up on it...
"You wouldn't believe this! my friend told me even dead shinobis has been summoned somehow to join the battle fields! But you know, anything in the ninja world is able to happen!", the other villager said as people gasped while others said he must be nuts or something, but you...you have been lost in thoughts, is that the forbidden technique Itachi warned you to even try to learn? What its name again? Edo tensei? A reanimation jutsu that brings the dead back to life...

"What else happened?!", you asked again in a very worried voice, this is too bad!
"Those reanimated ninjas has been ordered to attack by the person who performed that scary technique, luckily one of those guys managed to break free from his technique and forced him to stop it somehow, and so they all disappeared again, thank God!", the villager said with a sigh of relief in the end, knowing that probably no one is believing what he is saying.
"W-who's that person? His name?!", you asked in concern, praying a thousand times he's not who you think he is...
"His name? I don't really remember... Hitachi...tachi...something like that", as the man said these words rubbing his chin trying to remember, you felt your heart sinking more, and your chest tightening more as you tried as hard as you can to keep your tears from falling.
"Itachi?!", you asked, tightening your hold on your satchel.
"Yes!! Exactly!! That's it!! His name was Itachi", the villager said in excitement as he heard you, while you quickly turned around and left hurriedly followed by the lady as she called your name in worry, while you bursted out in tears as soon as you got a safe distance from the crowd of people, so he was dead all the time!! There is no hope now he'd be back!!! Never!!!

"Sweetheart I'm so sorry...", the lady couldn't stop herself from crying as well as she witnessed what happened, just when you seemed to start getting better and get yourself all together, you have heard this now, the lady didn't understand what happened exactly, she only understood from what the man said that Itachi is dead.
"I love him my lady! I love him so much!!...I was just telling myself be patient and he will be back, the medicine and my attempts to heal him with work and he'll be back but he is dead!!! Dead!!!", you cried loudly as you buried your face in her chest while she held you close and tried to calm you down, now catching the attention of the people around as they looked at you sadly.
"Alright sweetie, get a hold on yourself and let's head back now for you to take a rest, don't forget you're pregnant...", the lady said lifting your head up to her and gently wiping your tears that stained your beautiful face.

"I wanna...go home...our home please my lady...mine and Itachi's home, Itachi's home!", you said crying more and tucking on her clothes like a little child as she just nodded and pulled your closer to her, then started walking with you back to your home, people wondering what made you cry that hard so hysterically, maybe you couldn't handle the facts that dead people has been back to life, after all you're so sensitive,everyone knows this about [name].
