Moonlight Baby

Chapter 1

Kazumi couldn't hold out much longer, the contractions were strong, she felt the need to push. Rain beat hard on her; all the lights were off in most houses. There was a motel, some of the lights were on, and she collapsed behind the dumpster and pushed. Maybe someone in the rooms would take in her bastard child. Finally after 3 hours she finally gave birth, Kazumi knew that she wouldn't be alive much longer, she pulled out her lover's headband along with a single pearl. She set the baby girl at the doorstep of one of the motel rooms, with the trinkets. With a final kiss goodbye Kazumi left her only child to go and die in the alleyways. But she would die happy knowing that her daughter would have a family.

Inside one of the motel rooms Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi were all resting for the night after a long mission in the village of hidden mist.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" shouted Naruto as he finished the complicated hand signs. Nine Narutos filled the room.

"Get rid off those things! There isn't enough room in here for them!" Sakura shouted from the bathroom, how was she supposed to brush her beautiful hair like this. She tried out different poses to greet Sasuke with, one sexy, 2 friendly, and 5 cute.

"Stop fighting, I don't want you to wreck this room." Kakashi said calmly, never looking up from his book.

"Shhh." Sasuke whispered, the room became silent and soon everyone else noticed too. There was a faint crying coming from outside the door.

"What is that?" Sakura whispered. The three moved towards the door cautiously, kunai knives at ready in their hands. Sasuke swung open the door, they all became tense. No one was there; the crying was coming from lower. They all looked down.

"A-a baby?" Naruto said. They all cocked their heads at the small thing, "It's a girl" he said. Sakura punched him on the head.

"Get out of here! She's naked!" Sakura said as she pushed them into the room. She gingerly picked up the baby, something fell to the ground. It was a small round pearl, she turned it over in her hand watching it glitter in the moonlight. Sakura tilted her head up, there was a full moon out tonight. She covered the baby with the headband, it was blank, and placed the pearl into her knai knife pouch. As soon as she stepped in, Naruto and Sasuke rushed towards her. A million questions were all running through their minds but none asked any.

"Where's the mama?" of course Naruto would asks such a sensitive question so blatantly.

"I don't know, abandoned her I guess." Sakura felt pity for the small child; the baby brought back memories of Sasuke's family's death and stalked off. "Sasuke!" Sakura cried. She walked over to Kakashi who was so interested in his book; he hadn't even noticed the baby. "Sensei, what do I do about this baby?"

Kakashi looked at the baby, his right eye widened. Babies must freak out the bachelor type.

"Um, take it as part of your training" he said calmly and went back to his book. Naruto and Sakura's jaws dropped. They had to be Genin AND take care of a baby!

"Say Sakura," Naruto said, he actually sounded serious "we look just like a couple right now don't we?" he grinned widely. Sakura punched him hard. She wanted to look like a couple with Sasuke not with an idiot like Naruto!

"Sasuke!" she yelled in her most flirty way, "Can you help me think make a bed for the baby!"

"No" he said, Sakura hated when he got all cold, but it was also a reason why she loved him so.

"I'll help Sakura-chan!"

"I thought I told you not to call me that!" Sakura yelled. The baby started to cry, how on Earth were they to take care of a baby when they can barley take care of themselves?
