You Were Never Mine
By: Reyn


You lied to me. I don’t know why I’m surprised. The entire town is talking about your engagement. Most are wondering why you waited so long – the baby’s due in less than a month. You probably got peeved at my accusation of you being a bad father.

It pisses me off that you can still toy with me even after all I’ve done to pull away from you. Is this your way of getting back at me for bringing you back to Konoha? Is this your punishment for me for storming out on you in the first place? You’ve got a sick sense of justice if that’s the case.

The night the baby arrives, I’m sitting on top of the Fourth Hokage’s head, feeling warm from sake and wondering what I had done wrong to chase you away so long ago. It had to have been my fault, because I’m the one who’s flawed. I’m clumsy, stupid, loud, easily manipulated, but you knew of all my faults before the relationship, so what could it have possibly been?

The only answer I can come up with is that you learned of the demon I have sealed inside me. It makes sense. All of the older villagers who knew of the fox looked down on me in disgust, so why wouldn’t you join them?

Did the knowledge make you angry? The fact that my power comes from an alternate source that won’t destroy me, does that fill you with the same burning rage as when you first thought I was stronger than you? Is that why you strayed? Because you were jealous? Is that why you won’t come to me now? Because I’m not the pure little dobe you always thought me to be?

In all the years of knowing of the nine tailed fox demon sealed within me, I have never wished him gone. But tonight, as the echo of a baby’s cries resound against the cliff below me, I damn its existence within me with all my heart.
