When The Sun Shines (A Reika Namikaze Story) Book 1

19

When I awoke next, I was in the safe house once more. After everything that has happened, only one person keeps coming to mind. I haven't exactly spent a lot of time with my sister.

So, I stood up, and after checking in with Kurama, I silently let the tears fall. I can't sense him, what happened? Quickly wiping them, I stood up and went to the restroom where, I noted, is an extra pair of clothes is at.

I picked up the blue t shirt and after discarding my work and battered war outfit went into the shower and quickly cleaned myself off. I scrubbed my body and cleaned all the dried blood out of my hair.

Then, I went out and put the blue t shirt on followed by my under garments and a pair of black shorts. I put my black ninja shoes on, and I felt vulnerable, I grabbed my black gloves and put them on with the weights that also have a seal on them for my blades and I instantly felt safer. No longer felt exposed.

I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth and cleaned up after myself before walking out the door. Then I walked to the other door and into the hall before flashing home.

I wrote a note to dad saying that I am with Reita, and left it on the counter. Then I went into my sister's room where she is sound asleep. I had then took my gloves off and set them on the night stand before gently shaking my sister.

She squirmed not liking how her sleep was being interrupted and whined in complaint. Her red hair already getting long for an infant of five months. Her eyes opened to reveal eyes of the oceans depths. Her cerullean eyes staring into my own with awe as she spits raspberries and bringing her flimsy arms up for me to take her.

I smiled gently with tears brimming in my eyes as I tilted my head and picked her up. I held her her with her head on my shoulder and gently bounced around and I smiled as she gave a light giggle causing me to giggle as well.

She picked her head up and looked to me drooling being a memory up and I have a soft laugh.

"The drooling does go away as you get older. I remember being so annoyed not being able to control that." I chuckled at her look of confusion.

"You're my sister, Reita. I love you. And I will always protect you, even when you can protect yourself. That way, we can protect each other." Her eyes closed at that as if she can understand me.

She cooed as I brought our foreheads together.

Then I sat down and thought to my relation with Kakashi. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love him, I really do. But, does he? I opened my mouth to sing what was on my mind.

"The wound heals but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love
You're at war with love, yeah

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle"

Why is he avoiding me? Reita gently pays my head as best as she can, and I know she understands. I smiled letting my tears fall.

"Never let a wound ruin me
But I feel like ruin's wooing me
Arrow holes that never close from cupid on a shooting spree
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been trying to keep your nods up and you know that you should know
And let him go but the fear of the unknown
Holding another lover's home sends you back into the zone
With no hero to bring you home
A lover not a fighter on the front line with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone"
