"Run Kushina, faster!" yelled a gasping Minato. They had been found. After months of hiding, they found Minato, and Kushina Namakaze. Minato ran through a small gathering of trees that opened into an expansive field of flowers and long grass, he and Kushina had spent many lazy days here Lounging in the suns rays. Now they were running for they're lives, and Kushina was very, very pregnant.
The pair got halfway through the field trying to escape into the heavy forest brush on the other side when Minato felt Kushina's hand slide from his. He turned around to see her falling to her knees, panting hard and drenched in sweat, Minato ran the few steps next to his wife and slid down to his knees taking his wife's hand, and placing his on her back rubbing small circles. "I cant run anymore" Kushina explained to her husband breathless. Minato knew this, his wife could give birth any minute, and with the baby drawing on her Magical Energy she would be no good in the fight that was fast approaching.
"What can we do" Kushina asked Minato, grabbing her stomach protectively and staring hard into her husbands eye. Before he could answer Minato sensed movement behind them. He spun around to face one of his pursuers and shot a bolt of lightning from his fingertip at his Enemies feet.
"Minato Namakaze, you are one very hard witch to find." Said the man in a tone so deliciously calm and soothing. Minato did not answer, he kept his gaze on the man, knowing he could strike at any moment. The dark man just stood there gazing down at Minato with blood red eyes. The blond knew to not look away from this man he was deadly, and efficient, one mistep and that would be the end of the Namakaze Family.
Minato soon felt the presence of six others slowly surrounding him and Kushina. Kushina could also feel the Malevolent energy from the attackers suround them, her eyes darting back and fourth in the dark field trying to see them. What was mere seconds felt like hours that nobody had moved. Untill the pair felt a rush of Energy quickly moving towards Kushina. The pregnant woman put up her hand in defense but it wouldnt help, without her magic she was helpless. Kushina was going to take the full force of a head on attack by one of 7 men now surrounding them.
Kushina could see him, could see his blood red eyes glowing as he sped to her with incredible agility. In a Brilliant flash Minato had appeared in front of his wifes attacker and sent him soring behind him using his attackers speed to help launch the man above his head. The man landed on his back, and released a spine shaking hiss that sounded otherworldly. The man pounded the ground at his sides and launched himslef into the air landing gracefully on his feet, quickly taking a crouching position baring is sharp fangs the man produced a low growl and lowered himself, ready to strike again.
Minato knew he could not defend these attacks any longer, he had to get Kushina and his unborn child away from here. Minato jumped down to Kushina throwing his arms around her, and in another brilliant flash of light dispeared from infront of the attackers, blinding them and giving him time to help Kushina escape. Half a mile was the furthest Minato could teleport without using a tag but that was far enough to give him some time to finish his plan.
He stood slowly pulling Kushina up with him. He wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her lips soflty. Breaking the kiss he snaked hishands through his wifes beautiful red hair and brought her forehead to his. "I love you kushina, i always have and i always will." Kushina looked into her husbands eyes wile tear slid from hers, his face was soft but his eyes held determination. She wondered what her husband was planning.
As if Minato read her mind he backed away from her and rasied his fist to his chest, soon sending sparks of electricity flowing through is hand. Kushina knew what he was going to do. She staired wide eyed in horror at Minato. "Isn't there another way?" She croaked out the question tears spilling from her eyes. Minato shook his head sadly. "You have to get away, you have to raise our son." Minato spoke determined not to cry in front of his beloved wife. "You'll die here alone." Kushina said shakily hugging herself in a failing attempt to stop her trembling. "I'll die here protecting my family." Minato said his voice leaking determination and love.
The sparks on his hand grew brighter and Minato focused on a tag far far away. "Tell our son i love him kushina, tell Our Naruto i will always love him." And with that he drew back his fist and lunched it into Kushina's chest. The pregnant woman was knocked into the air, but befor she fell the bright sparks from Minato's hand enveloped her and in a bright flash she was gone. Minato fell to his knees drained of ever last drop of magical energy he had.
Atempting to crawl farther away from his enemies Minato stumbled on hands and knees to the thick brush of the forest only meters away from him now. "I might be able to get away." He thought to himself, untill he heard the slight footsteps of seven men slowly aproching him from behind. Minato was no fool. He knew his time was over, he sat back on his rear and crossed his legs. Eyes closed he imagined Kushina raising his son, A little blond boy running around her feet laughing as kushina smiled sweetly at him, trying to catch the rambunctious little blond.
Minato opend his eyes and smiled at what he thought his son might look like. He kept smiling even as the sound of foot fall grew close and eventually stoped right behind him. The blond man swiveled on his ass to face his enemies still smiling proudly. "We will find them Namakaze." Said the dark man eyes glowing in rage. "Your sacrifice tonight will be all for nothing." Minato kept smiling looking up at the man. "We'll see" the blond man said in an upbeat tone.
Clearly irritated the dark man took Minato by the head with both his hand, And held him up so his feet were dangling off the ground. "Begone now, insect." Said the dark man in a bored tone. And with that he jerked his hands quickly snapping the neck and killing the still smiling Minato. The Dark man dropped Minato's body to the ground in a heap.
"What should we do now Lord Uchiha." Asked a hooded man standing close to the dark one. The Uchiha turned and started to glide away. "We will find the girl and the child in time, for now, we have rid the vampire world of a real pest." Lord Uchiha stopped and looked over his shoulder, an emotionless expression painted on his face. "Take care of that." He said to the group of vampires itching to sink their teeth into the now dead Namakaze. The six Vampires jumped onto the dead body of Minato and drained him dry, as Lord Uchiha slowly walked away. Leaving his underlings to clean up the mess.
Far away in a different land. A blond woman sat at her kitchen table drinking her late night tea and gazing lazily out her window, looking over her flower bed basking in the moonlight. She lifted her cup up to drink when I bright flash and a loud crack was heard and seen outside near her front gate. Only one person could be responsible. She dropped her mug and stood up quickly topping the chair she sat on over.
The blond woman raced outside to see a very pregnant red-haired woman laying on her back unconscious. She dropped to her knees and felt for a pulse, she found it the redhead was Alive. The blond woman looked over her. "This must be the Kushina Minato had spoken about. If she is here without him I can only assume he didn't make it" the blond woman thought to herself. She looked at Kushina's face sadly.
The blond stood up and took Kushina in her arms bridal style, she was stronger then she looked, and carried Kushina to her home. About halfway to the front door, the blond woman felt water running down her lower stomach and pants. The blond sighed irritated and threw her head back exasperated. "You won't be sleeping for much longer." The blond said aloud and brought Kushina inside to get ready for the birth of her grandson. Tusnade put kushina onto a cleared off the table and walked over her window hoping she was wrong about Minato until a shrill scream sounded from behind her bringing her thoughts back to the present.
"Time to meet my grandson!" She said happily and turned to help Kushina give birth to a blond baby boy named Naruto.
