Sailor Cosmos lay suspended on a fluffy cloud from a recent supernova. Her eyes were closed as the supernova's excess energy rushed into her body, refilling her energy reserves. She was mediating.

Silver eyes snapped open as a tortured plea filtered into pointed ears. "Please save my friend." Those eyes became slits as they focused on the one pleading then softened then they recognized a good soul.

Sailor Cosmos snapped her fingers to transport to the outskirts of Kohana. She changed her outfit with a mere thought. She gazed at the town's defenses.

A black pair of leggings graced long legs while a blue tunic had silver outlined flowers with a blue sash under full breasts. Blue smoky eye shadow completed the look. Knee high boots protected her calves. Slim, graceful fingers had three rings like silver and sapphire ring.

"Excuse me," a man with an orange book approached the goddess, "Can I help you?"

Sailor Cosmos in Serenity form thought him quiet a man. "Maybe, I've been recently been made aware that Naruto has been orphaned. I am here to see to his care along with the orphan Sasuke Uchiha."

"Why?" A single silver eyebrow arched. He was cautious of anyone trying to use the two orphans to their advantage.

"I am Naruto's godmother who by a disturbing misconduct was not notified of his familial status. As for Sasuke, I am his aunt."

Kakashi Hakate stiffened, "You lie." It came out as a hiss. "All except two of the Uchiha clan was wiped out."

"Not true. I married Mamoru Chiba, a man outside of Kohana then chose to live with him upsetting the clan." Skin like moonlight glowed under the sun. "I managed to perfect the clan's supreme secret that has never been done before. The clan wanted me to stay, and then marry someone of their choosing which I refused."

Kakashi understood the Uchiha's anger at being denied their will. He offered his arm to the young woman of 28. "Allow me to escort you to the Hokage."

Sailor Cosmos going by the name Serenity let the silver haired man direct her. "Might I have a name to go with a face?"

"Hakate Kakashi at your service," he bowed.

"Serenity Cosmos," She in turn gave hers.

Kakashi inwardly thought she'd react to his name. "Cosmos? I thought your husband is a Chiba?"

"Indeed he was," a sad smile flickered over her features. "I changed my last name again after Mamoru's death. I have heard rumors that my godson has been mistreated, are they true?" Serenity knew them to be true, but wanted to see if he'd be honest. She had justifiable plans for Naruto's tormentors.

"Yes, they are true." Kakashi hung his head in dismay at the village's misdeeds.

Serenity shook her head as she passed a merchant's store. "A great misgrievence." She saw the Hokage Tower then straightened her spine even more. "It will need to be rectified. Where are my two charges?"

Kakashi paled, "A group after their powers has captured them. We are tracking them down as I speak."

Serenity's nostrils flared. She didn't say anything else until she was before Tsunade. She took the stairs two at a time. The guards at the doors searched her for weapons, but didn't know about her subspace full of weapons and other items.

"I am here to collect my godson and nephew then place charges upon Kohana for child neglect and abuse. As I understand, you have let them out of sight and placed them in danger." Serenity's tone had a sense of authority so insured that no one dared argue.

Tsunade stood with her palms against the desk. "Who are you to place charges against Kohana?"

An angry silver aura flared out. Eyes hardened. "I am Serenity Uchiha- Chiba nee Cosmos of the Celestial City. I am the godmother to Naurto and Sasuke. This village," Serenity spat out the last word like it left a bad taste in her mouth, "failed to contact me 14 years ago when my godson was orphaned then again failed when my nephew was orphaned. I know that you failed to protect my godson from harm and abandonment. I know he went hungry, with wounds. I mean to seek retribution for these misdeeds."

"There is no way you are Naruto's godmother," Tsunade bit out. She had checked all the files. She had tried to save Naruto, but there was no legal action she could take.

Serenity pulled out an agreement that had been signed by Naruto's parents (who signed it as ghosts) and herself. "It is legal and binding. I will be going after my two charges immediately and if there are any more harm comes to them when we get back, I'll be taking them with me to Celestial City."

Tsunade tried to explain that it was fear that led the villagers to attack Naruto.

Serenity snorted in contempt. "Education can eliminate fear since most fear what they don't know."

"You will be under the Council's thumb when you take in those two," Kakashi warned as he departed with the silver haired lady.

"As a citizen of Celestial City, that is deniable. The Uchiha Compound is still under reconstruction?" She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the masked man. She saw the burned rooftops.

"There has been no need to rush the reconstruction," Kakashi replied. He pulled out his famous orange book.

A tense silence ensued. Serenity made sure to be in confines of the woods before making a move. "What are you relationships with my godsons?"

"Ma'am, I am pretty sure that you already know the answer." Kakashi smirked. He knew that she was testing others to see if they told the truth instead of lie to their advantage.

"Then we'd better be on our way," Serenity had an idea of what direction her godsons were in.

"Do you have a BINGO name?" Kakashi was curious.

"Yep," Serenity popped the p. "You won't be cashing it in, though. They call me Goddess of the Silver Fire."

A blank look crossed Kakashi's face before a kunai caused him to duck.

Serenity ducked and weaved in a graceful manner like a dancer. She bent over backwards then flipped. She spun on the balls of her right foot. A few times, she caught the kunai.

A frustrated ninja grunted when their supply of kunai was low. He dashed off, satisfied that his diversion worked and his partners were warned.

Kakashi kept his eyes open for any other dangers like trap wires.

The pair raced on, side by side. They escaped from falling into a pit and dodged motion triggered arrows. Kakashi covered Serenity's body when a swinging log was let loose from a great height.

The opening of the cave's mouth loomed ahead. A distant red light was proof that it was occupied. A rock formation stood to the left.

Kakashi was ten yards away from the cave's mouth when the ground trembled. The little rocks bounced as the rock formation was revealed to be a rock golem. His physical weapons were useless. "I will take care of this. Get inside! Save the boys!" he sensed the chakra building about to plateau.

Serenity felt a great demon rattling its cage under the moon's surface. That demon was placed there by the Sun King, Serenity's father.

A shield that blocked chakra users covered the cave's mouth. Electricity crackled as she drew closer. It posed no threat to her since she was a magic user.

She ran down the tunnel like a cross-country runner. Seven members called out to the demon, but they were defenseless. Their concentration was focused on their goal of getting the demon out and to control it.

Serenity killed the connection between the members and great demon. She knocked out Itachi Uchiha then blocked his chakra points. A mother of pearl fingernail pulled out the taint, residing in Itachi. A black sizzling ΒΌ inch string resisted its retraction, whipping about. Sweat beaded on Serenity's forehead as she forced the string into the shaped of an inch capsule. With a great amount of energy and power, Serenity turned him into an infant then teleported him to her home. Serenity found Naruto, unconscious in middle of the members. She kneeled beside the severely wounded boy. Serenity tenderly cradled Naruto close to her chest.

Naruto groaned as a few wounds opened back up. They sluggishly bled. The surrounding skin was red and inflamed with dirt and debris in the wound. His skin was burned from fire and lighting attacks with patches of rawness.

Serenity started to hum an old Lunarian lullaby. (It is originally in Latin.)

"The Day is done,

Little one.

The Moon is high,

In the midnight sky.

The sun has long set,

Time for your eyes to shut.

Sweet dreams beckon you,

Down a sleepy avenue.

The day is done,

Little one.

The stars have come out to play,

As the Moon lights the way.

The Goddess watches over all,

So let those eyelids fall.

The time for slumber has come,

Little one."

Naruto's body fell into a healing slumber even with dried blood sticking cut cloth to closed wounds.

Bad dreams about past abuse and stomach pains caused his body to tremble. A motherly kiss swept them away.

A blind folded Sasuke wondered, stumbling around the cave further down. He forced himself not to cry, not wanting to appear weak. His psyche was severely battered.

"A great injustice has befallen you, brave one." Serenity approached a blind Sasuke. She used her voice to install memories of her as his aunt. Her voice and scent of moonlight and vanilla triggered a distant and hidden memory. His body stiffened as he sensed her. His sense of smell was heightened to make up for the loss of another sense. "Who goes there?" He tried to be brave.

"Serenity," she answered as she made her way to his side.

A choked sob was her reply. "Auntie!" He turned into her arms.

"Woah, brave one. I have your friend, here."

"Naruto?" He was not sure that his behavior warranted him a friend of anyone.

"That's right, brave one. He wanted your safety over his own." Serenity kissed his forehead in affection. She knew that his life was nearly devoid of that emotion since his father was a hard man. "Let us get out of here."

"They took my eyes, Auntie." He didn't know where the exit was. He had been staggering around stalagmites and stalactites. His hands were bloody from several falls and his knees were scraped and bruised.

"Clinch the belt on my waist and I'll lead you out." Serenity placed his reddened hand on the belt. She noticed dried blood on Sasuke's shirt.

"Auntie, can you adopt Naruto? He doesn't deserve to be alone, anymore. It is not his fault that he hosts the demon." A grey dust littered Sasuke's black pants from falling in the cave after tripping many times.

Serenity smiled as she saw the true reason behind the request. "There's no need, brave one."

"Why?"

"I'm his godmother. Kohana failed to notify me of him being orphaned along with your status as an orphan." She didn't want Sasuke anymore agitated so she told him of the failure. She ducked under a stalactite formation then they wove through a stalagmite garden. She led her nephew out into the fading sun.

The angry golem was now gravel, but Kakashi nursed large angry bruises against the cliff face. A big egg was on the top of his head, a concussion was possible.

Kakashi startled at his two students, not really expecting to see them alive again. He gasped at the condition Naruto was in.

Crust on Naruto's eyes prevented him from opening them. His top lip was busted with his canine chipped. There was a compound fracture and lots of broken bones. Naruto smelled of urine and vomit. He was gaunt as well.

"I will take care of you three at Celestial City." A silver glowing hand over Naruto's heart sent a healing light through his veins and arteries, stopping the bleeding. Serenity placed a finger pad touched Kakashi's forehead, sending the same light to his damaged ribs and brain hemorrhage. "Naruto needs a blood transfusion."

A bottomless flask of pure mountain water was pressed to Sasuke's dry lips to stop dehydration. He knew better than to gulp it down or risk getting sick. He coughed as his lungs tried to get rid of the stagnant oxygen that he inhaled while in the cave for fresh oxygen. Sasuke's cold hands shook as shock set in.

"I'm here, brave one." Serenity had wrapped both boys in a blanket. She nestled Sasuke into her side on a third blanket while she cleaned Naruto to her best ability.

Naruto was stripped naked with his ribs wrapped and his leg in a splint. Chicken broth was forced down his throat so he wouldn't get sick when she transported him to Celestial City Hospital.

"It is probably too late to stop an infection," Kakashi cautioned over the cover of his Icha-Icha Paradise.

"He's been drinking cave water with no food. When I take us to Celestial City, remove your mask." Serenity wiped off the blood from Sasuke's neck. She checked to see how bad the damage was from the members removing his eyes.

Sasuke had several cuts around his eye sockets with them being hollow. He was knocked out, not drugged when they removed his eyes. They didn't want any drugs altering the eyes.

"Whatever for?" Kakashi quirked an eyebrow.

"Masks facilitate distrust among Celestials." Serenity's fingers rapidly moved until a glowing circle formed around the group. She had Naruto in her arms with Sasuke holding onto her belt while Kakashi pulled down his mask before she activated the circle's purpose.

A swirling tornado of light engulfed the injured group. A gentle breeze wrapped around the tornado.

Seconds later, Serenity was the only one standing upright in the approved area of the hospital for sudden transport. Sasuke was gripping her tightly around the waist and Naruto was still into a forced healing slumber. Kakashi was bent over, his hands braced on his knees as he dry heaved.

A large woman in her mid-thirties took Naruto from Serenity to place on a gurney.

A thin male orderly took Sasuke's hand.

"Auntie!" Sasuke didn't want to leave Serenity's side.

"It is okay, brave one. He is taking you to an optician to see about your eyes."

The orderly patted Sasuke's hand in reassurance. The male wore green and brown scrubs while a woodsy scent surrounded him. He was thin from running after out-of-their-mind patients, or little children scared of needles and doctors.

A nurse in pink and white arrived with a clip board came out within fifteen minutes. She curtsied to Serenity. Her grey hair was held back by a butterfly clip. "My lady, your young ward will need time to heal his broken bones and damaged psyche from his years of abuse and neglect. Otherwise, he's doing fine. Our initial scan revealed the nine-tailed fox demon sealed in the boy's stomach."

The hospital walls were beige with black and white checkered aluminum floors. Piano music played over the intercom with calls for doctors interrupting. Four foot wide halls met at a nurse's station.

Serenity was given a yogurt smoothie/ milkshake to replenish her energy and reserves by a CNA. She swirled the straw in the drink before drinking through the same straw. As she felt her energy back to normal, she placed a hand on Kakashi's shoulder, healing the rest of his bruises.

Sasuke came out with a walking stick and a gauze wrap over his eye sockets. He was completely washed and his hair was cut evenly.

The thin chocolate-eyed orderly followed at an easy pace. He carried an orangish-brown

envelope.

"Milady," the orderly's name tag read Tantu. He handed over the 3x11 envelope.

Serenity's thumb print gave her access to the letter inside. A seal prevented anyone else from breaking the envelope open.

(Lady Cosmos,

At this time, there's nothing to be done for your nephew, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, yet. We have made his old eyes useless to the enemy.

A blood sample was taken so new eyes can be cloned within three days' time. It is then that we request your nephew for the transplant procedure. The new eyes can only be used by Sasuke since his DNA will activate them.

Sincerely,

Dr. Isiah Orban)

At that time, Naruto came out in a wheelchair. His left leg was in an orange cast while his right wrist was in a black brace. A loose shirt concealed his wrapped ribs with an Ace wrap.

"Sasuke!" Happiness made the blonde boy's eyes sparkle. "You are alive!"

"Dweeb." His own shirt read "Too hot to handle," Tantu told him. It was black with blue block lettering. "My Aunt Serenity saved us, Naruto. She's our godmother."

Naruto looked over the silver-haired woman, assessing her. "Where was she for fifteen years and after your brother killed your clan?" His voice was hostile.

"I understand your anger, little one. We can discuss it over a meal. I am sure you are hungry. No harm will come to you while you are in my care."

Naruto's nurse behind his chair handed him crutches to get around. "Lady Cosmos is someone to put your trust in," Mrs. Kolesky whispered, wearing purple and yellow.
