Cap 163: Hikari
Cap 163: Hikari
"Did you have to hit me so hard?" - Jiraiya asked in pain.
"You deserve it..." - replied the redheaded man as he squinted at the Sannin.
* * * [Flashback] * * *
"I think we are far enough away for someone to hear us speak... not to mention that Danzo is no longer around" - said Kurama seriously - "Now speak"
"Okay, first I'd like to ask you to promise not to hit me when I tell you this" - said Jiraiya with a forced smile.
"Just talk, Jiraiya..." - replied Kurama coldly.
"Ok, I will take those words as a yes to my request" - said the Sannin with a small smile - "Congratulations Gaki, you will become a father... again"
"I hope this is a joke, Jiraiya" - said Kurama with a scowl.
"I'm not lying" - replied the Gama Sennin - "Remember the nurse, the one you fucked at the end of your orgy with Tina-san and the others?
". . ." - Kurama was silent when he heard this because he remembered the situation where he ran into Hikari because he was focused on his impending end at the hands of Kushina - "Oh. . ."
That was the last thing Jiraiya could hear before he lost consciousness because of Kurama's blow.
* * * [End Flashback] * * *
". . ." - Jiraiya sighed with regret when he heard this because he had to admit that Kurama was right.
"Please don't keep blaming Jiraiya-sama. . ." - Hikari said with sorrow - "He didn't tell you because he promised me."
". . ." - Kurama only sighed when he heard this as he gave the girl a troubled look. He didn't have any feelings for the girl in front of him, after all, they only had sex for a moment of weakness that ended up getting the girl pregnant after a series of coincidences.
Hikari was also the same, after all, neither of them knew anything about the other except their names. What they had thought it would be, was just a moment of passion and then the two would go their separate ways, but it seems that God told them 'Fuck you and now you have a child'.
"Why didn't you tell me?" - Kurama asked as he gave the orange-haired girl a calm look.
"Because I was afraid" - answered Hikari as she sighed with sadness - "When I found out I was pregnant, I thought about talking to you... but... I didn't know how you would react..."
"Kurama... let her have a moment to calm down" - said Jiraiya seriously.
"No... this is the perfect time to tell him everything" - sighed the girl as she looked gratefully at the Sannin - "I didn't lie when I said I was afraid, afraid that you would react badly when I went to tell you about my pregnancy, afraid that your clan would do something to me or my baby, afraid that after having my little one, you would push me away from him..."
"We can't do something like that" - said Kurama seriously. The laws of the Uzumaki clan dictated that an Uzumaki would never leave his family behind.
"Kurama... not all clans are like the Uzumaki clan" - said Jiraiya seriously - "There are many clans in the Elemental Nations that show no mercy in situations like this. Hikari's fears are well justified because nobody knows what kind of laws all the shinobi clans in the world have, I at least don't know all the laws of your clan or if there is any that by any chance will serve to hurt this lady..."
"The Uzumaki Clan embraces all Uzumaki descendants regardless of their birth or parents" - said Kurama as he closed his eyes - "No matter how they came into the world, every Uzumaki descendant is part of our family and is welcomed with open arms"
"And Hikari-san?" - the white-haired Sannin asked.
"She, as a mother, has the absolute protection of the clan" - answered the red-haired man as he closed his eyes.
Hikari breathed a sigh of relief to hear this but was still a little nervous - "What will happen to me after the birth?"
"Nothing... you are the mother" - answered Kurama as he opened his eyes - "We don't have the power to separate a family... I need some time to talk it over with Kushi-chan..."
". . ." - Hikari trembled when she heard this statement because if she was afraid of anyone in this situation, it was Kushina.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to go and inform her about these events..." - sighed the redhead - "She'll be furious with me but I'll try to appease her anger..."
"Good luck with that, when Kushina is angry, there is nothing that can calm her down" - replied Jiraiya seriously.
"I know... I've seen how she tortures you" - answered Kurama with sarcasm, and then looked at the orange-haired girl again - "Don't worry, she won't do anything to you... and even if she did, I won't allow it, after all, I am the father of the child that is to come and as such, I have to take responsibility for him"
Hikari smiled when he heard this because it meant that his baby would not grow up without a father. She was not worried about her relationship with Kurama, but about the growth of her future child because she did not wish her child to go through what she had experienced.
"Now if you will excuse me, I have a punishment to attend to" - said Kurama in a joking tone but his expression was serious as if he were a man about to go to war.
"I will go with you..." - said Hikari as he looked at the redhead - "We are both guilty so we both have to accept the consequences"
Kurama looked at her and then nodded - "Okay..."
"Good luck" - said Jiraiya as he watched the two of them leave the house, and then looked at the twins - "Would you mind if I got a bandage?"
* * * * *
"I think we should talk about this tomorrow..." - said Hikari as she arrived at the hospital with the redhead - "Kushina-sama is recovering from her childbirth"
"No..." - denied the redhead - "If there's one thing I know about Kushi-chan, it's that it's better to tell her everything as soon as possible because the longer we delay, the worse the consequences will be"
"Ok" - nodded the pregnant nurse as they entered the hospital.
After a few minutes, Kurama's cries of pain echoed through the room, although to the relief of the newborn and other patients, Kushina had kindly placed a seal of silence around it.
* * * * *
It had been a few hours for Kushina to calm down, although this was because she was still exhausted from birth.
Hikari was shaking in the face of an injured Kurama, who did nothing to defend himself because as a man, he had to accept his mistakes.
"I'm not going to continue with this because I'm tired and because you've already received your punishment for the nurses' orgy," said Kushina as she watched her husband get up as if nothing had happened, and then she looked at Hikari. "As for you, Hikari-san... as this idiot's wife, I'm furious, but as a mother, I understand your thoughts... it must be difficult for a woman to go through a situation like yours"
". . ." - Hikari nodded weakly.
"Okay, I guess welcome to the Uzumaki clan," Kushina said as she shrugged.
"Huh?" - Hikari couldn't believe her ears.
"No 'huh'! What did you expect? That I'd act like a bitch and try to hurt you or something?" - Kushina asked with a scowl - "Am I angry? Yes, but not to the point of trying to hurt a pregnant woman, much less when I just had my little prince"
"But..." - said Hikari in surprise.
"No buts" - snorted Kushina - "Look, no matter how it happened, you carry not only an Uzumaki descendant but also a prince of Uzu"
"I... I don't know what to say..." - mumbled the nurse.
"First, you should greet me as Onee-chan..." - said Kushina with a smile - "Second, you should come live with us, as the mother of a future Uzu prince. You are part of the Uzumaki clan, after all, we don't abandon our kind"
"I told you so," Kurama nodded as he watched Hikari cry in a combination of relief and happiness.
"What are you waiting for, you idiot? Hug the poor girl!" - exclaimed Kushina in annoyance - "Don't you see that she needs to release all that's inside her?!"
". . ." - Kurama turned his eyes to Kushina. He hadn't hugged the girl to comfort her because they were in front of his wife who had just given birth to his first-born son.
"No... I'm fine now... although I still don't understand how you're taking it so well, Kushina-san" - said Hikari as she wiped away her tears.
"It's because I have to share this jerk with at least 8 other girls, and the count is going up..." - Kushina snorted while looking at an embarrassed Kurama - "One more girl doesn't make a difference, especially when she's pregnant"
"I-I see..." - The nurse nodded - "Although I don't think it will end up being something with Kurama-sama"
"Believe me... you'll spend a lot of time together and this fool has a charisma that makes you approach him" - said Kushina as he gave the redhead an annoying look because that's how he ended up conquering most of the girls who now live in Uzumaki Mansion.
