A/N: I do not own Naruto

It was silent in the village of Konoha as the setting sun bathed the sky in a blood red color. Tendrils of smoke rose from several buildings that had been damaged

during the attack that had occurred barely several hours ago. No one knew why the unmarked ninja attacked the village but it didn't help the village's morale one

bit. Many civilians and numerous ninja were in the hospital and the medic nins and doctors that worked there were working overtime to take care of all their

patients. They were particularly concerned about one young kunoichi who, aside from being seriously injured, was nine months pregnant and in labor. Sitting

outside the room the kunoichi was being kept in was her boyfriend. The grey haired shinobi was no older than sixteen and most of his face was hidden, save for

his right eye whose dark grey depths held worry and concern for his girlfriend.

"How is she doing Kakashi-san?" The shinobi, now known as Kakashi, looked up at the man who now stood before him. He easily stood at six feet tall with brilliant

red hair that hung down to his shoulder blades and a single thin braid dangling in front of his right ear and a Konoha hitai-ite sitting securely around his neck. His

eyes were a beautiful emerald green color than shone brighter than any gem stone that could be found and his ears were pointed, showing that he was not a

human but in fact an elf.

"I haven't heard anything in over an hour, Keiji-san." said Kakashi, his hands tightening into fists as screams were heard coming from the room "I'm worried and

if I hear one more scream I'm going to go in there."

"Relax Kakashi." said Keiji as he put a reassuring hand on his shoulder "Everything will be fine. There's no need to go running into the room and if anything does

happen, father and I will be here."

"Arigato Keiji-san." said Kakashi "You and Inazuma-sama have always been so kind to me."

"It's the least we can do." said Keiji "You make Lynn happy and between you and me, I think father has already come to think of you as a second son. Plus

you're like my brother and if the baby survives, you'll be a part of the family by all means except marriage." Kakashi smiled slightly under his mask but the

smile quickly faded when the door opened and a tired looking nurse came out. She seemed surprised to see Keiji but the surprise quickly faded and a neutral

expression took over her face.

"Hatake-san, Caesin-san." she said "You two can go in." The two shinobi nodded and proceeded into the room. Laying on the hospital bed was Lynn, her short,

rich brown hair laying askew and her emerald eyes were dull from exhaustion. She had on an oxygen mask and was hooked up to numerous IVs and monitors.

Kakashi felt his heart drop when her saw her like that but when he saw the bundle she held in her arms, he felt happy and hopeful.

"Kakashi-kun, Onii-san." said Lynn in a hoarse voice.

"Lynn," said Kakashi as he moved to stand by her side "How are you feeling?"

"I'll be fine." said Lynn with a weak smile "And she will be as well."

"She?" said Kakashi "You mean that we have a daughter?"

"Yes, we do." said Lynn weakly "She has your hair and looks and my eyes." Kakashi looked at the bundle in Lynn's arms and smiled at his new born daughter.

She was small and pale with a fuzz of grayish hair on her head and her eyes opened as Kakashi looked at her, revealing that they were emerald green in color.

"Lynn," said Kakashi "She is so beautiful, just like you." Lynn smiled at Kakashi. He couldn't see the dying light in her eyes but her brother could.

"Would you like to hold her, Kakashi?" she asked.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Don't worry," she replied "You'll do fine." Carefully, she placed their daughter into his arms and made sure he was holding her right before sinking back into the

pillows. Keiji stepped forward and looked carefully at his new niece.

"She's definitely a Hatake," said Keiji "But she does have a few qualities of the Caesin clan. Her eyes and her ears." He gently touched the baby's slightly pointed

ear and she squirmed for a moment before settling into sleep. A smile graced the red haired elf's face before he looked up at his sister. Sadness shone in his eyes

for a moment before he looked at Kakashi.

"What are you going to call her?" he asked.

"Well," said Kakashi "Truth be told, we were expecting a boy and we were going to name him after my father but since it's a girl, I'm clueless."

"Miirae." said Lynn "We'll call her Miirae, since she will bring light to many lives."

"Miirae." said Kakashi, testing out the name "Our ray of light. The name suits her. We shall call her Miirae." He turned to say something to Lynn but the sound of

the alarms that machines that were hooked up to her were giving off interrupted him and he just stood there as nurses and doctors came running into the room.

Everything seemed to move at high speed until Lynn was pronounced dead and it was then that everything seemed to move at a normal pace as Kakashi sat down

in a chair by the window. He looked down at the sleeping child in his arms, oblivious to everything else that was going on around him.

"I swear that I'll take care of you little one." he said softly "I won't lose you like I lost your mother. Miirae, my ray of light."
