The Bride of Gojo Satoru

Chapter 10

Naozumi's POV

Daddy crouched in front of me, looking like a sitting frog since his legs were long. He had his usual blindfold on to cover his mysterious eyes from the world. "Hey little bud, mommy and daddy are gonna be gone for a few hours. Grandma and grandpa won't be babysitting you since they're on another vacation." Daddy sighed, slightly turning his head to the side. I think he's annoyed that they were always on vacation when they needed a babysitter the most.

If not my grandparents, then big brother? If it was, I can't wait! "So is brother Megumi going to watch me?!" My eyes twinkled at daddy. I hadn't seen big brother in a long time. I really missed playing with him. Not only did he show me shadow puppets, but he also created real animals from the shadow. It's so cool. I wished I could have that ability. He let me play with his wolves a few times. They were really fluffy and nice to me. I wanted to keep them as my pet if my parents allowed it.

"Not for a while, buddy. He has to train to become a powerful sorcerer like me and your mommy!" Daddy grinned ear to ear, pointing at him and mommy, who was right next to him.

I never saw my mom in action. She's always at home with me. She doesn't seem like the type to fight because yesterday she made daddy fight on her behalf. "How is mommy powerful like you?" Watching daddy fight was so awesome. Now I see why people around me call me the blessed child; I am blessed. I wondered what can mommy do if daddy was that powerful?

Daddy chuckled, ruffling my white hair. "She's very powerful. When you're older, you'll get to use your cursed eyes that you got from your mom. It'll be very handy when you start going on missions." He poked the tip of my nose with his pointer finger.

Daddy has always talked about how lucky I am to have mommy's eyes and his limitless ability. He praises mommy's eyes but can never tell me how special it is. Mommy doesn't tell me either when I ask her. She always tells me that I'll have to wait when I'm older... But I feel old enough already.

Then mommy stepped in, hugging me in her warm embrace. "At times, I do need some assistance from your dad but," mommy's pretty eyes glanced up at daddy, and she made a weird expression: her nose scrunched up and the middle of her brows wrinkled. "I can handle spirits to a certain extent if I want to." Mommy kissed my cheek before they both left.

"If you need anything go see Yuji! If you see Tattoo Yuji you know where to hide!" Daddy said, and mommy snapped her head at him.

"Tattoo Yuji? You mean!? Satoru, I'm not going." Mommy knew something was up and refused to leave me with Yuji if tattoos appeared on his skin.

"Sorry, honey! You're required to go!" Daddy threw mommy over his shoulder and ran out the house. Even after the front door was closed, I could hear mommy yelling at daddy. They're my weird parents I have; it made me smile from their dynamic personalities.

Growing up, my mom always stayed at home with me. At times when we were both bored in the house, she'd take me to the playground or store since we could pass time. She'd always play along with me at the playground so I wasn't by myself, but sometimes I did play with other kids there too. Mommy's a good and attentive mom... But I think she's a bit crazy.

There was this one time where this kid, around my age, pushed me down out of nowhere when I stepped inside the playground. I didn't cry; I was confused, and I wanted to hit him, yet I didn't because I have self-control unlike that kid. When mommy saw it, she came running towards me, examining if I had any cuts or bruises from the mean kid. Her eyes were filled in rage—it was practically on fire. She told the child to apologize because his action wasn't nice, but the child refused and stuck his tongue at her. Mommy had a ticking bomb on her head, and that's when I figured out she was going to explode any second. So I interjected, telling her that I'm fine and we should go home. I gave her the most angelic look in order to convince her even more. She couldn't resist her little Angel which came from the heavens to earth.
