Chapter 7: Truth...

It's been months since we moved in with my grandparents. I can't even imagine myself living in this luxury.

Grandma and uncle love me a lot. On the other hand, grandpa is a little bit strict but I know he loves me a lot too. Just won't show off.

When we moved in. He heard that I was having sleep problems then he rearranged my whole room. That was insane!

The problem wasn't the room but my habit of not living in luxury.

I miss those days when I'd sleep with mommy. But It's grandpa's word, "Big boys sleep alone. "

I'm trying to find mom now, but where is she? As I was walking by the hall I suddenly noticed some framed Pictures hanging on the wall.

Woh! Is that grandpa!? So cool and who's that?

"All Might!!! ".

He looks so young! I have to ask grandpa about it later.

As I walked a little, I saw a family photo.

"Grandpa, grandma...uncle, mom, and Who's that girl there? "

" That's your auntie Rei. "

I got a little startled by grandma's sudden appearance.

" Where is she now? "

Grandma's face became gloomy because of my question.

"She lives in Musutafu city with your uncle and cousins"

And all of a sudden I got excited knowing that I have cousins.

"Can't wait to meet them! "

Grandma patted my head and went inside.

I didn't mind that much, so I began to look into the rest of the Photos.

Finally, I reached the last one. [Imaje here]

It's….It's mom!? Wow, she looks so cute. And the boy beside her must be uncle. They're so young! Around my age? Have to ask mom that too. But where is she?

I came all the way to the back of the house.

Jungle!? Wait, that's mom! Why is she going to the jungle?

"Mom!!"

I ran toward her.

She noticed me and waited for me to reach her.

" What happened? my baby. Do you need something from mommy? "

"No I Don't need anything, where are you going? "

" Oh! There's something I want to see there "

" Jungle is dangerous! "

" Hehehe! I grew up in this forest. It's not dangerous. Come with me. "

" Where to? "

"Follow me "

And she began to go into the jungle. As I followed her.

The trees are huge in the deep of the forest. It's scarier.

After wandering for some time we reached a river, Mom stopped and sat by the riverside.

" Guess they left "

"Hm… what were we looking for?"

"Just some friends "

"Friends…? " I said it in shock.

I sat in front of mom and she began.

Your father… was a great man. Always carefree and workaholic. I, your uncle, and your father graduated from Shiketsu high. We completed our hero course there. In our second year, I and your father started dating… and in the graduation ceremony, your father proposed to me in marriage. But due to our family status, your grandpa didn't agree to it. Even so, we didn't stop seeing each other. Your uncle supported us. We thought we'd go throw it together… "

Mom suddenly stopped, and I got more curious. It's our first conversation about my father.

She again started, with her crying voice

Your father, he was specialized in spying. He'd go on missions for many days and sometimes weeks. At that time we wouldn't get in contact with each other. I'd get super worried sometimes. He'd get little or seriously injured. I hated him for that…

Mom could hardly say anything.

T..that day, that thing happened that I was super worried about. He got caught and….I...I only heard that he killed Himself... My heart was shattered into pieces.

I was just waiting for his arrival to give him the good news!... I was pregnant with you.

After that, the rescue team found your dad's body…. It was full of blood!

I wouldn't sleep or eat for day's but I realized that I have to keep the only thing he left for me. It was you (Mahi)

Your father, being a spy hero. He never got the chance to shine in the spotlight but I believed that he was a great hero!

As she told me that sad story I began to cry on my own. Teardrops fell from my eyes. To think mom has been faking her smile only for my sake. I felt that pure love Between them. That's when I promised...

"Mommy! I Won't let you down, I'll make both you and dad's name shine. I'll be a great hero that everyone will admire. "

Mom hugged me, crying really hard.

" Mommy doesn't want to force you into something, just be what you want. Remember You must protect your love one's "

"I will mom! "

We waited in the jungle for a while.

Was enjoying the jungle view quietly. It's dark inside the jungle.

Weird notices coming. I'm just holding mom's hands.

Woooooooo!

"Mommy wolfs! "

I grabbed her hand.

Mommy turned back, she became instantly happy.

I was freaked out, so many of them. Their tarry eyes might make me pass out if I was there alone.

"It's them!'' Mommy said it in excitement.

One of the wolf was coming closer.

Sniff… sniffing mommy!

I grabbed mom's hand as hard as I could. But got shocked seeing the wolf starts licking mommy, hugging her!

What's happening!

All of the wolfs gathered around us.

"Mahi, this is Dolf, " she said pointing to the wolf hugging her.

"Dolf..? "

" Dolf is one of your dad's pets. Your dad had a lot of them. After your dad died some of them left and for the rest of them I brought them back home. But I thought after I left home dad would get rid of them. Dad's more kind than he Looks. "

Dolf approaches me, he's looking into my eye, sniffing... Left a cry…

Wooooooooo!

Within some moment a mamma wolf came with her baby.

It has white fur and blue eyes.

"Aww...Dolf, Is that..that your baby? You're a dad now!"

Mom said it like she would cry at this moment in joy.

The baby wolf is coming in my way.

"Hi there… A...a? " What's Its Name?

Dolf named wolf was in front of me and was making weird noises.

"Mahi! Dolf wants you to name him "

"Huh? How do you know? "

"I'll teach you later, your dad's tricks."

Dad's tricks? It wants me to know about my dad. But now… Ummmm what should be your name?

" Yes… your eyes are so blue and your fur it's so fluffy, they just look like snow. I'm gonna call you…snowy."

I named what came to mind first.

Mahi gave Snowy a hug. Giggling without control.

"It's a cute name. You put that just as simple as your dad when we found Dolf…Time flies really fast. "

We were on our way back to the mansion...

"Mommy, can you tell me more about what dad was like? "

Mom started after hesitating

" Your dad...he had a fine body shape that would make any guy jealous. Every girl was after him, as I remember he even got proposed by guys too. That was the most awkward situation. "

A sweet laugh left her so carefree.

Now that she could share her every moment with Mahi.

" More importantly your father was from the beast race, a wolf "

A single word made me shocked.

" Wolf boy!? "

"Yes your father's sneak attacks were amazing and the illusion he'd creat was so real. "

" Illusion? "

" Yes, a skill that can be mastered by the fox beast race but your father was special "

All the awesome stuff about dad! I wish I could meet him in person.

But….I'll make his name proud. I'll be a hero, just like him.

" Mom! Is it possible for me to use dad's skills? "

" Aren't you just pushing it too hard, only time would tell my baby. Remember your dad's always seeing us from above. "
