DC Comics: The Bookstore Witch
Chapter 67 67: The Sun
[3rd POV]
After getting dragged away by Naruto, she was dragged for quite a while away as Wanda didn't fight back. Milim was annoyed, but seeing as Wanda was following after him, she didn't fight back either.
Eventually they stopped. As Naruto growled.
"That damned old man! Talking about things he knows nothing about. He's lucky I didn't deck him in the face for that!" Naruto scowled, angry with Hiruzen for the first time in a long long time.
"Naruto, why don't you calm down for me, okay? I understand that you are angry, and I do not blame you for being furious with him, but you need to calm down, and control yourself, okay?" Wanda softly said, crouching down to him as she placed a hand onto his shoulder.
Growling slightly, he slowly began to nod, as he couldn't help but lean into her, causing her to blink in surprise, before wrapping her arms around the boy, as he hugged her.
Milim watched on the side, but instead of feeling annoyed, she just watched him for a few moments, eyes narrowed in thought as she watched the two of them. Naruto didn't seem like a bad person or anything, and with the way her Mama seemed to care for him, she found it harder and harder to hate him.
Especially once she started to realize that he had been through a lot in this place, that he was...far kinder than he realistically should be. That was the reason why she held back from complaining, that and she didn't want her Mama to be mad at her, that'd suck.
"...Thanks" Naruto whispered against her chest, as he pulled back from her warmth, a little embarrassed that he had just done that.
"So...you see me as a mother?" Wanda asked softly, a warm smile on her face as she gazed down at the boy. Said boy flushed in embarrassment at the fact that she remembered that, and had openly asked him about it. He was hoping she would forget about it.
"It's okay if you do, Naruto. Honestly, I'm very very honored to be seen in such a way by such an incredible boy like you" Wanda added, noticing his evident nervousness at trying to respond to that rather big question.
"R-Really? I-Is it really okay for me to think like that? What about my birth mother? Isn't that like an insult to her memory or something? Wouldn't that make her mad?" Naruto asked, worried that he was potentially doing something wrong.
"It is, Naruto. And I guarantee you that she is not mad, that she is glad that you have someone that you can call that. More than that, there is no rule stating that you can have only one mother. I can be whatever title you want to give me, while your birth mother can be the only one you call Mom" Wanda explained, as Naruto looked up at her, shocked that she was actually talking about this.
That she was actually talking about her being his mother.
"I-I don't-" "You don't need to say anything, Naruto. I've always wanted a big family with a lot of adorable babies to spoil, and you would simply be my second one. Alongside your big sister Milim" Wanda cut him off, before he started to self depreciate or anything else that she didn't want to hear him speak of.
"...I-Is it really okay?"
"Yes, Naruto, it's fine. As said before, I am just glad that you see me in a way like that" Wanda responded with a soft smile, as the boy had tears streaking down his cheeks, as he tried to wipe them clear, but was struggling as he uttered a word that he had so desperately been able to say.
"Mama" Naruto whispered, as he hugged Wanda close, again. The boy sobbed into her clothes as he felt her warmth again, while Wanda's heart bloomed, happiness painting her face as she looked over to the silent Milim.
"C'mon love, come meet your little brother" Wanda softly spoke, as Milim hesitantly walked forward, and joined the hug.
All the while, Wanda glanced off into the distance, smiling softly as she saw a red headed woman smiling back at her, as the figure spoke out.
"Thank you...and...take care of my son for me, will you?" Kushina's voice echoed in Wanda's ears, as she was the only person capable of understanding the dead in this universe, besides the shinigami himself, and even he was of a lower level in comparison to her.
"Of course I will. And thank you for not being angry with me" Wanda spoke out, with only Kushina being able to hear her, with the red headed ghost letting out a laugh, as she began to fade, but not before speaking once more.
"And make sure my son becomes a badass just like his Mother, Dattabane!" Kushina cheered out, as she faded away, Wanda giving her a nod as she disappeared from the world, likely going into the cycle of rebirth, or perhaps to watch over her son in what comes after.
Either way, she was gone now, as Wanda held her children in her arms, a happy smile on her face, knowing that she now had two children to love, to spoil, and to protect.
And she wouldn't change that for anything.
_____________________________________
A bit later, after the emotional talk with Naruto, and with the boy officially seeing her as his Mama (just like Milim), the trio were now eating some dinner at a really good barbecue restaurant. It was expensive, but Wanda had infinite wealth so that didn't matter.
What really annoyed her was that they initially refused to serve food to Naruto. But after one flex of the tiniest possible amounts of her killing intent, they paled and began to serve him with whatever he wanted. All sorts of expensive meats and meals were given to them, with Naruto scarfing down some of it, as the food was genuinely quite tasty.
Wanda just watched in amusement as he did this, before Milim spoke.
"So uh...what does this mean, Mama? Me having a little brother, I mean?" Milim asked, as she had never had a proper sibling before, and especially not a younger one. She had been against the idea of having one, but she couldn't bring herself to cut Naruto out anymore, not with the way he interacted with her-their Mama.
"It means that he'll be living with us from now on, if he's willing. It also means that you have someone new to mess around with, albeit as long as you're careful. It means that you have another member of the family that you'll have to protect when I'm not there" Wanda responded, as Milim absorbed her words, before nodding in understanding, not refuting what she had said.
She'd do her best to follow what her Mama wanted, she just hoped she didn't cause any sort of accident, which she tended to do a lot more than she initially would have hoped. Even when she tried her best to do the exact opposite. She sometimes thought she was cursed with how often it happened.
"It also means that you'll have someone new to play with, to battle with in food competitions, and someone new to join us in any adventures we may have, which will likely be quite a lot" Wanda added, as Milim nodded more, understanding what her new "Duties" would be.
She didn't mind any of them, as a lot of them actually sounded quite fun, especially the food eating competition that she talked about. Wanda always crushed her in the competition, which made it boring. But she imagined that Naruto would be a decent challenge in that department, at least, when it comes to eating.
In an actual fight he would get obliterated with a single flick to his forehead. Hell, even a simple glare from her would have been enough.
"I'll make sure to do my best to be the best big sister in the world, Mama!" Milim said with a grin, as Naruto gave her his own.
"I bet I can eat more barbecue than you!" Naruto challenged, as Milim narrowed her eye.
"I bet I can eat double what you do!" Milim exclaimed back, as they began to challenge one another to all sorts of competitions. None of them meant to cause any harm, and were completely harmless fun.
As Wanda watched all of this, she had only one thought on her mind.
'...What adorable children I have!~'
