"Don't worry, they just went to go fetch some water" she explained "nobody is going to leave you behind"

Dororo turned to his side and noticed the red flowers across from him.Then he said, "I hate Manjushage, the red spider lilies" (y/n)'s eyes widened, "they remind me of my papa and mama"

"We're they such terrible parents?" The priestess asked after noticing the two by the entrence

"No! That's not it" Dororo said, "Papa and Mama were strong and kind" (Y/n) nodded and placed the water down quietly, before walking out. Hyakkimaru stared at her and followed her.

She had walked out only to sit by the entrence. When Hyakkimaru saw her, he sat down next to her and nudged her. (Y/n) chuckled at his attempt to ask her 'what's wrong?'

"There's a reason why me and Dororo don't like Manjushage" she said, "our mama died in a field full of them" Hyakkimaru only stared at her, then she looked at him, "did I tell you we were raised by bandits?" Hyakkimaru shook his head, "our papa was a big strong man, so was our mama..."

"Papa, take me with you next time" a younger Dororo asked his father, who's shoulder he was sitting on

"If your mama says okay" he responded

"There's no way mama will ever let you go!" They both looked at the little girl next to the man, "you're too small and weak"

Dororo glared at her, "you don't go either, one-chan!"

"But at least papa is already training me! I'll be ready to join them anytime soon! Right papa!"

"W-well..."

"This Samurai had it coming" a new voice said, "right, Boss? All shivering pale like they saw a ghost. We wouldn't even lose to Daigo's army now"

"No doubt" the boss laughed, inwardly thanking his second in command for saving him from his children

"Who should we get next?" He asked

"Let's see" he then put Dororo down next to (y/n), "go on to mama now"

"I wanna listen" they both said

"I'll play with both of you later" Itachi said

(Y/n) glared and stuck her tongue at him before grabbed Dororo's hand, "no way!" She said as they ran off

"Mama!"

A woman by the fire turned around and hugged both her children

"I wanna go with papa" Dororo said

"I told you, no" she said

"See? I told you" (y/n) said smugly

"I can beat up the bad guys, too" Dororo said

"When you get a little bigger, okay?"

"I wanna go now! Please! Please!"

"Do you want me to hang you up on a tree again?" That immediately quieted him down and (y/n) chuckled "And you. No more bragging to your little brother, or the same thing will happen to you" their mother warned

"Yes, mama"

"You're not even close!" (Y/n) said after seeing Dororo miss hitting the target with a couple pebbles
