❝Do I look like I care?❞

THE WHOLE FAMILY SAT IN THE TABLE to have dinner, but not everyone was seated. You were taking your sweet time to join the others for dinner. It was Uzui who insisted on you joining them this once only and since he wouldn't stop bugging you, you agreed.

Today thought, Uzui dragged Megumi to sit beside him because he wanted to get closer to him to be the best father figure the child could have. This made Suma sad because it was her turn to sit beside Tengen, but she eventually agreed to sit beside Megumi since it was the closest to Tengen. And that was the problem...

Megumi refused to let her sit beside him because he wants you to sit there. She begged the little boy, but everytime he shakes his head and replies with, "No, mama sit with me." He said it with an emotionless voice. Suma had to sit beside Makio who sat beside Tengen in the other side since it was her turn while Hinatsuru sat across from Uzui.

Suma sniffed and put her hands in prayer position, "Please Gumi-chan, let me sit beside you!" She begged again while the boy gave her a deadpanned look. He shook his head, "No, this is mama's place and don't call me Gumi-chan. I'm not a baby." He stated with short phrases which made Suma cry while the rest sweatdropped.

"He sure acts like his mother..." Tengen thought, smiling nervously at the boy's behavior. Just then, the shoji door opened to reveal you. You stared them suspiciously, but you shrugged it off. The first one to greet you was Hinatsuru, "Hello Y/N san, I'm glad you decided to join us." She smiled at you gently. You hummed and sat beside Megumi, "Yeah, whatever." You coldly said. Your husband and co-wives stared at you as you sat down with that cold aura around you. This has been your way of acting toward them for six months now.

It was the first time you and Megumi eat with them. You would usually eat outside or in your room. It wasn't new to you... You have been treated badly in your clan because you cannot use any type of the breathing style. Thus, acting like this to a family you don't want to be a member in was something normal to you.

"Y-Y/N san... Gumi-chan wouldn't let me sit with him..." Suma complained as she was about to cry, big fat tears were in her beautiful blue eyes. You looked at Megumi who didn't even want to look up at you because he was embarrassed. He always acts cold and as if he doesn't care about you, but deep down he loves you so much and wants you to care for him like a real mother. Makio hit Suma on the head, "Stop complaining! You're annoying her!" She scolded while the young co-wife held her head.

"Tengen sama! Makio hit me and it hurts! Woah!"

"Stay quiet!"

Hinatsuru only let out a sigh while Tengen was just watching.

You placed a hand on your temple and closed your eyes, "Just why did I agree to this?" You thought, feeling a headache raising up. You opened your eyes and your cold gaze turned to glare, "Can we eat already?" Your co-wives and husband looked at you once they heard the question. They all looked terrified once they saw the dark shadow on your face.

"She is so cool!" Makio thought with imaginary stars around her, she really admires you a lot. For her, you were her ideal  example of the strong woman. However, she won't admit it to you loudly. On the other hand, Suma appeared to be scared to even be with you in one room. Both Hinatsuru and Tengen were okay with you, they got used to your cold behaviour.

Tengen nodded, "Alright, let's eat!" You all grabbed the chopsticks and chanted, "Itadakimasu." And then started to eat. As you all enjoyed the meal, Tengen couldn't help but glance at you and Megumi. The little boy was following you to eat in sync with you. Following every single thing you do, you raise your head up, Megumi does the same. You get more rice, he gets some as well. It was like a little duckling following his mother's steps. However, he couldn't help but stare at the scar on your lips.

You were the only wife that had a very visible scar like this and you seemed to be proud of it. He remembered your first day in the Uzui household when you removed the makeup to reveal the scar. He was shocked, but truth to be told it made you look more attractive. Not to mention that you had your hair cut very short which was phenomenal for any lady to have a hair like a man. Again, you were abnormal in everything which made the white haired male interested in you more and more.

He had to spend time with you soon, even if he had to force you.

After dinner, you sat in your room alone, unable to sleep. You had to do your job later, but you had to wait for the rest to sleep so you can leave the house.

Just then, you heard low whimpers. You looked beside you and saw Megumi frowning, holding into the blanket tightly. You sighed and sat cross legged, picking Megumi gently and placed him in you lap. Megumi who was still sleeping held into you tightly, as if his life depend on it. It wasn't something unusual since he was having nightmares ever since H/N died. Seeing that amount of blood and gore for a child wasn't that good at all.

You stared down at Megumi who seemed to calm down, he looked like his father. He was the only one you can see your deceased husband in. You hoped to give your son a better life with a family better than you. You hoped he would find someone care about him and love him... more than you. Sometimes, you wish it was you who died and H/N remained alive. Maybe, he would be happier with his father.

After making sure Megumi went back to sleep, you placed him back in his futon and covered him with the blanket. You stood up and went to the small chest in the corner of your room. You pulled out a key and opened the chest to see set of clothes that consisted of tan pants with black belt and black short sleeved shirt, along with them was a pair of black flat shoes. A smirk tugged on your lips, it has been long since you had this uniform on.

"It's time to return to work."
