Disclaimer: I don't own. I wish I do, but I don't.

"Ouch." I nod my head in agreement although just 'ouch' doesn't seem to cover it. I sit up and hold my throbbing head until the pain receeds enough that I'm able to look at our surroundings. I look around two or three times hoping to see something that is familliar but it is all different than I am used to. I stand up and check again, but still don't recognize anything about the small clearing we are somehow in.

I see Kushina sit up and start to look around frantically. "Where's Naruto?" She asks. I look around and shake my head. "I don't know and I can't sense any chakra nearby." I look at her and notice that she is shaking slightly. "We need to get you to a hospital and then we can go out and look for him." I promise her gently.

"Ok." She whispers. I help her stand up and we start walking in a random direction, in hope that we will find a village soon. As we walk I begin to wonder where we are. 'The seal was supposed to kill me to seal the Kyuubi inside of Naruto so that he could be a hero.' "How are we still alive?" Asks Kushina quietly. I sigh. "I don't know. You know the seal as well as I do. The only thing I can think of is that I somehow messed it up and it kept us alive." After about an hour of walking I faintly hear approaching footsteps and decide that it may not be a good idea for it to be known that we are from the Leaf village in an unfamilliar territory.

I quickly remove my headband, ninja gear, and hokage jacket and seal them in a scroll. I then pull up a hood that will cover my hair but not my face. Kushinas' eyes flash in understanding at my actions and we continue walking. After about another thirty seconds I spot three medic-nins and a pink haired kunoichi running through the forest with an injured man on a stretcher. The girl tells them something and they keep running but she slowly makes her way down to us.

When she gets close enough I notice that her headband is one that I have never seen before. It only has the word shinobi on it. As she gets closer I instinctivly drop into a defensive position. She just holds up her hands. "I'm not here to hurt you. My name is Sakura. I'm a medic-nin. Is it ok if I help your friend." I nod, relieved. "Yes. Please help her." "Ok." Says Sakura, soothingly. "We need to lay her on the ground so that I can take a look at her. She also seems to have some major blood loss."

I Nod again and gently help Kushina lay on the ground. I keep her hand firmly in mine and keep an eye on Sakuras' movements. She holds her hands out in front of her and lays them firmly on Kushinas' chest and stomach. They begin to glow with a soft emrald green chakra that seems to match her eyes. She than gasps slightly. "Did she just give birth recently?" She asks. "Yes." I tell her. "I can't give you all of the details but when our son was born we were attacked. I don't know where he is, or where we are now."

She listens to the story and glances at us in sympathy. "Hold on a second and I will explain." "Ok." I agree. Her eyes narrow in concentration for a few moments and I hear Kushina sigh comfortably before she falls asleep. The glow disappears from Sakuras' hands and she sits back and grabs a drink of what I assume is water.

She offers me some and although I still don't completly trust her yet, I am thirsty. I drink a little and hand it back to her. She puts it away before she begins to talk. "Righ now you are near the camp for the wounded shinobi. Because this is such a large scale war we decided that everyone that is medically trained is better off in the same place so that we can compare notes and save more people." "What War?" I ask confused. "We are in the middle of the Fourth Ninja War." She tells me.

"But! I! What? When? How?" I ask. "It's ok. You seem really confused but that may be because your chakra is so depleted." I look at Kushinas' sleeping face. 'What is going on?' I ask myself. Sakura lays her hand gently and reassuringly on my arm. "It's ok. I have a friend that is going to save us." She smiles and I can tell that she cares and trusts in her 'friend' very much. "He always does."

Please be aware that I won't be able to update as often as I would like. I am currently working on another story along with this one so it will be difficult to update both on a regular schedule.

Please be patient with me!
