"Anko! Anko stop it!" Kakashi yelled at his wifes side as she thrashed and cried attempting to get away from him. "No! No! Your both lieing!" Anko yelled as tears stream down her face. "Your lieing!" She cried loudly. Tenten, who had been living with the two, grabbed the womans hand in an attemp to calm her. "No were not..." Tsunade said softly. "Im sorry. But he's dead." She said trying to be as calm as she could. "How can he be dead!? He hasn't even been born! Hasn't even come into this world!" She yelled. Kakashi held her close hoping to calm her as she sobbed against his chest until she passed out.
Months passed and Anko, though keeping her promise in helping Tenten with lessons from her sensei that she had difficulties with, had become all but suicidal. Anko hadn't smiled since that day, No matter Kakashi and the others attempts. "Tenten keep your arms relaxed you can't tense up or you'll be in trouble." Anko said in a serious voice from her post where she could see the girl. "Yes ma'am." The girl said with a nod as she redid her jutsu. "Better." Anko said resting back against the tree on the high branch. She let out a soft sigh as her hands hovered over her stomach for a moment then fell to her lap. She held back a tear that was trying to escape and snapped out of it when Tenten appeared up on her branch. "Maybe we should go home." Tenten said softly offering her hand to help the woman up. Anko nodded softly and took her hand.
They began the walk back to the village. Tenten stared up at the sky through the tree branches. "You ok Anko?" She asked softly glancing over at the woman who gave a soft nod. "Yeah. Fine." She said looking down some. Suddenly Anko grabbed her neck in pain. "Anko!" Tenten reached over worriedly as Anko almost fell to her knees. She pushed the girls hands away. "Get to the house! Now!" Anko yelled. "But Ank-" "I said go!" Anko yelled at her. She took off not just to the house but to get Kakashis help. Anko stood and ran in the opposite direction causing her mark more pain. Behind the bushes and trees she saw him. Orochimaru. Beside him two dead ninja from the village hidden in the mist. A man and woman around the same age as herself. "You!" She yelled. Orochimaru smiled as if pleased to see her. "Well hello." he smirked. "You bastard! Your the reason my son is dead!" She shouted. "Oh pinning all the blame on me when you were the one who wasn't strong enough to care for him." He laughed. She gritted her teeth. "Shut up!" She cried pulling out a kuni knife and running at him. He dodged and grabbed her arm slamming her down to the ground. "I'd kill you but I have much bigger plans for you." He chuckled paralyzing the poor woman and vanishing as she blacked out.
It was midnight and Kakashi and Tenten were forced to give up the search for Anko until morning came. "Im so worried..." Tenten said from the kitchen table where she sat with kakashi. "I shouldn't have left her..." She said quietly looking down. "Stop it. You wouldn't be able to help her on your own. Its good you came to get help..." Kakashi said getting up. "Get some rest and we'll continue to look when the sun begins to rise. "But what if," Tenten started. "Anko is a strong woman. She can handle herself. Shes survived time and time again. Shes a very strong woman." he said and left the room. Tenten moved to the living room and hoped Kakashi was right and hoped that Anko would walk in the door soon.
As anko came to she noted that she must have been out for hours considering the dark sky. she stood up slowly a bit off balance but fixed that quickly. "Danm that man..." She said. She looked around and saw the two ninja were gone. "Huh? That danm man did he take those poor peoples bodies!?" She questioned. Suddenly a soft rustle caught her attention. Thinking it was Orochimaru again she pulled out a kuni and listened for the sound again. Again the rustling came and she pinpointed where it was coming from. She slowly made her way to a bush. She jumped back startled as a sobbing came from within in. Regaining herself she returned to the bush slowly and peeked behind it. There she saw a small child. No more then one year old in only a diaper. She tucked her knife away and walked around the bush carefully picking up the child. "Where did she come from?" she asked herself before noticing she looked almost exactly like the two ninja from before. "Oh..." she looked the child over to make sure she wasn't hurt and noted the only mark on her was a small burn on her cheek just below the corner of the eye in the shape of a flower. She removed her coat and gently wrapped it around the cold baby as she made her way back to her home.
It was just passed 1:00 when Tenten heard the door open from her resting spot on the couch. She shot up to look and see what it was. Looking to the door she spotted Anko and jumped up running over. "Anko! Oh thank goodness your ok!" She said happily before seeing the baby. "Hm? Whos this?" She asked curiously. Anko shrugged. I don't know. I found her in a bush. Im going to talk to Kakashi when he awakes and ask him what I should do." She said as she carried the baby to the bedroom with her. Tenten watched her but decided to let it go until morning.
Anko carefully cradled the child against her chest noting that as long as she was held in that way she was silent and near sleep. She made her way into the bed beside the sleeping man as she rocked the child softly. "You need to sleep little one." She whispered softly. The child snuggled up in her jacket against her chest and cooed softly. She continued to rock the baby until she saw her eyes close and her breathing relax. She layed back, a soft smile tugging at the corner of her lips, as she heard a soft almost snore from the baby on her chest. She snuggled to her husband softly as she to began to fall to sleep.
Sobbing woke the couple up as Anko carefully adjusted the baby in her arms and sat up. "Shh now... Your ok..." She said as she rocked her softly. Kakashi sat up quickly after a moment and looked at the two. "Anko! And...? Where did that one come from?" He asked looking at the crying infant being gently held in his wifes strong arms. "I found her in a bush." She said softly as she calmed the small girl. "Her parents were dead and I couldn't just leave her out there."
