Ears buzzed with white noise only he could hear, and he wondered when the realization would hit him with its full impact. Everything seemed tranquil and calm, but it shouldn’t be – it couldn’t be. His life was turned upside down and he was left all alone after all that time being the lesser half of a whole. He wished to stay close to the children, but he couldn’t do anything for them at this time. He knew he would be the one to take care of them and raise them. Even if Siv was to play a large part in their lives, the children was his responsibility. A responsibility that he would have to take, even if he hadn’t wished for their existence. If you couldn’t fix it, you had to endure. Now they were all he had, and he was grateful.
But right now, he was supposed to be somewhere else. Even in death, his loved one called out for him. China’s body remained alone in the little home they had built together. The hurricane had damaged their renovated haven, but everything could be repaired. Pale lids hooded scarlet hues at the witch’s words broke through the roar of blood rushing in his ears. She didn’t even have to ask about China to realize the truth. She already knew. The male was grateful, for he did not want to explain and relive the scene more than he had to, which would be every night from this day. He would be truly haunted now. ”Thank you, Siv,” soft tones rose with his monotone gratitude. It required some willpower for him to rip his eyes away from his new-borns, but he couldn’t stay. He had to cleanse his unannounced mate’s body and move her somewhere safe until a proper ceremony could be held.
He stood up and paced over to the doorway, glancing at the pregnant woman holding his precious new loves. ”I’m going back. I will return to you soon.” This task would bathe him with agony, but there was no way around it. And he didn’t want anyone else to touch her. Without casting a second glance, he exited the witch’s home with flattened ears. Unfortunately, he could not shut out the hushed voice, whispering the truth. You did this. Itachi knew that Haku was right this time. This was his fault.
