53 Waiting patiently (1/2)
It didn't take long enough for her to appear again, now with dumbfounded look on her face. Thank god for that, he was more than ready to break down that flimsy barrier around the pool to get her back.
I wonder what task was given to her for her to make that kind of face.
”So? How was it?”
”I got a mission.”
”What kind of mission?”
”To find someone.”
”Do you need my help?”
”Hmmm... that would be faster, do you know someone by the name of Arya the frost?”
That made Kuro laughed.
”That name is kinda infamous around this kingdom but surprisingly you'll find around few hundreds of that”
”I knew it wouldn't be easy.”
”Anything other clues?”
”He doesn't have any heart?”
Kuro raised his eyebrow.
”You mean, heartless? Cruel?”
”Like literally without heart. Know anyone like that?”
”The arya I know is someone with a lot of love to share and I can't imagine that he's without a heart.” Scoffed Kuro.
”But anyway, won't hurt to check it out”
I nodded.
”Plus I had something to asked that man. This will be a good opportunity” kuro gave a whistling signal, and Lulu that was flying around with the kids landed besides us.
”Kids, would you like to stay with your new grandma and grandpa? They can show you guys around, and no one dare to bully you there.” Asked Kuro, looking at both Ailee and Miya. They both had this excited looks on them and in sync glance at me. I bite my lips, anxious to be far away from them.
”Do they need to?”
Kuro raised his eyebrow again.
”I dont want them to meet him. He'll corrupt them.” And I can almost read that look on his face, 'can't let You're little birdies fly by itself?' Man, how pathetic am I? I never thought that I am becoming this kind of mother. Too worried to be far away from my own kids.
Finally, I gave them a bitter smile and nodded.
”Don't worry. They are safe with them.” said Kuro, thinking that I am worried that his family wouldn't be able to protect them.
Oh, I'm not worried about that.. I'm just not used to be away from my kids. Isn't that laughable? A grown up woman, and a mother couldn't bear to part away with her kids for a couple of days?
”Mama just doesn't want us to be too far away from her. She's just that kind of person” smile Miya. She jump off from Lulu and went to give me a hug.
We parted away, and I waved them good bye after Kuro sent them together with two shadow ninja accompanying them. Kuro look at me and sigh.
”Don't be sad, sweetheart. I am here with you. You are not and will not be alone”
I look at him and bite my lips.
