A soft wailing filled the orange nursery; the wailing grew in volume as the baby called and called for a warm embrace to make the loneliness go away. Soft blonde fuzz was all the baby boy had for hair along with three whisker marks on his round cheeks. His mouth opened wider and wider making the wailing increase its volume, telling someone to come and get him out of the cage like bed.
The door opened a crack but the baby did not have his eyes open to see and his wailing drowned out the soft noise of the door brushing the carpet as it closed after the tall figure entered the room. The figure was too small to be a male but was the right size to be female.
"Oh Naruto-chan." A soft voice said as the figure came closer to the light tan of the crib rail, the figures face was lit up by the glow of the toy fish tank. Showing the figure's long red hair in a lose pony tail as a light pinkish red and her eyes as a sliver blue color.
The red haired woman bent down scooping the child in her arms but the wailing never gave out in fact it was growing until they were shrill. The red head started to rock her baby boy but the rocking did not help at all.
"Shh Naru-chan shh you don't want to wake daddy do you?" She cooed to her little boy "Daddy's really tired because of work, he is Hokage ya know?"
Before she could say more Naruto raised his wail to a full out scream making his mamma rock him more faster hoping to not wake her husband. Little did she know that the hall way light just flickered on as she was focused on her blonde baby boy. As the door slowly opened the woman rocked and hummed to be baby boy.
"Come on Naru, it's okay Mamma's here." She pleaded to the howling baby.
"Kush-."
She whipped around to see her husband up and rubbing his eye. His blonde hair was very messy, messier than normal on a count that he was sleeping.
"Minato! You should be asleep; I can take care of Naru-chan." The red head cooed still trying to calm their blonde bundle of joy.
Minato was either too sleepy or just ignored her as he slowly walked at a zombie-like pace towards them. When he got there, he wrapped his arms around his lovely wife who was trying to calm their son.
Naruto's wailing went down to mere whimpers then stopped all together. Minato and Kushina looked at each other in shock and confusion, so this is what their baby boy wanted not to be alone in a dark room with no warmth to make him feel safe.
