35. Oh lod sav me

‘I pray to thy lord up above, aid me in the battles to come. Thine lost sheep prays for guidance in the challe-’ 

“TOMOKA!” In an instant Himiko flew through the room at light speed with tears in her eyes. This scene was a carbon copy of what just happened with Nozomi. The only difference being that instead of a cute four year old landing on top of Tomoka it was a full ass grown adult.   

“OOF” Unlike Nozomi, who escaped with the ability of a ninja in training, Tomoka received the full weight of her mother up front. She could have escaped like Nozomi but she knew better than that. 

“My sweet baby girl, you had your mother all worried! I will never, ever let you out of my sight ever again!” Now that the poor girl had survived having the full weight of her mother slamming against her it was time for the second ordeal. 

With the full strength of a jounin Himiko hugged Tomoka. With her head in Himiko’s breasts Tomoka was unable to breath but that wasn’t the worst part. The thing that was truly troublesome was the increasing pressure Tomoka felt on her spine. 

‘So this is how I go huh. Not through combat or old age, but from the love of my own mother. Kurama, it was a pleasure to have met you even if our time together was short’

[Oi, aren’t you exaggerating?]

*POP* 

“What was that?” The sudden sound had distracted Himiko. Looking down she saw her dear daughter on death’s door with a weirdly bent spine. Not really, but the image was close enough. 

“Uhm Himiko-san please calm down” The doctor didn’t know what to do. He was sure that a child’s spine should not make a popping sound. Not to mention what he had just seen. Himiko had used the body flicker jutsu to jump towards her daughter. In the end he had no time to react before all of the above happened. 

“Leave it be. When she gets like that, there is no stopping her” With a sigh Nagi could do nothing more but wryly smile as he saw Himiko rubbing her cheek with Tomoka’s. He knew full well what would happen later on. 

A few minutes later Himiko finally calmed down. Tomoka on the other hand looked like a dead fish. Her eyes hollow from being handled roughly by her mother. However, she knew that the worst part of the ordeal was yet to come. 

“Tomoka~” With a sing-song voice Himiko called her daughter. Tomoka, hearing this, wanted to flee. Her instincts were screaming danger at the top of their lungs and yet there was no escape. With slow measured movements Tomoka turned her head to look towards her mother. What she saw next froze her blood. 

Himiko sat there with a calm expression, no tense muscles could be found in her body. A serene motherly smile adorned her face. With these facts one would think that Tomoka’s reaction was exaggerated. However, Himiko’s eyes told a completely different story. 

Eyes that looked at Tomoka with the righteous anger only a mother could hold. Eyes that looked at the poor girl with a predatory gleam. Eyes that promised suffering like no other. Those scary eyes combined with Himiko’s otherwise calm demeanor made even Kurama afraid. 

[I pray to thy lord up above, aid me in the battles to come. Thine lost sheep prays for guidance in the challe-] 

Before the fox had a chance to finish his prayer it happened. Himiko moved with grace in such a way that her movements looked calm and measured. However, the sheer speed of the angry mother’s actions made it impossible for even the fastests of shinobi to escape. 

“Little Tomoka made her poor mother very worried~. She will be a good girl and accept her punishment right~” Those words were spoken as Himiko held Tomoka gently. However, to everyone present it looked like Tomoka was in a choke hold that would snap her neck if she dared give the wrong answer.   

“Y-yes! I will!” Tomoka’s nervousness had led her to shout that in an instant. 

“Good~. We will have lots of fun together~. To-mo-ka~” After saying that Himiko left the room that had become early silent. The only sound that could be heard was that of the cold sweat dripping from everyone present. 

Everyone had their own thoughts about the situation. The doctor couldn’t help but wonder about what he had just witnessed. Nagi was lost in memories of the past where he had been in a similar situation as his poor daughter. As for Nozomi… 

“Mothers are scary” and she was completely right about that one.
