CHAPTER 2 - Remember What Momma Said

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

It was a freezing cold day in late January when Uchiha Mikoto, the wife of Uchiha Fugaku leader of the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Uruchi the wife of Uchiha Teyaki the older brother of Uchiha Fugaku, came across the dreadful scene.

"Oh the poor woman!" Uruchi cried as she came over to the body. The woman had blue hair and wore a blue kimono, stained red.

"She died in childbirth." Mikoto sadly said as she picked up the cold body of the dead child with a tuft of blue hair from between the woman's thighs. "It would have been a girl."

"Mikoto look, it was twins." Uruchi pulled the loosely tied kimono open to show the woman had given birth to another child first. The small baby was that of a boy, with a tuft of jet black hair. "She must have placed this one in her kimono after she gave birth." Uruchi picked up the baby. "Oh! The child it still warm! He's alive!" She quickly wrapped the baby in her kimono, close to her own warm body. "She may have died and lost one of them, but one still lives and fate has seen fit for us to find him, so he can live." She said nodding. "Let's get back to Konoha. We can gather herbs later, what's alive right now won't die easily."

Mikoto nodded and placed the cold baby back in the dead woman's arms. "We will send the men to give these two a proper fair well from this world."

She looked at Uruchi when the older woman asked, "Should we give the child to the Hokage?"

"No."

"No? What do you plan to do then?"

"I'll present him to Fugaku as another son. Last time, most of the clan didn't know I was with child until after I had Sasuke. The baby is so small, it won't be hard to say the child is mine and was born too soon."

They arrived at the village of Konoha, Uruchi nodding to the ninja that guarded the gate. Mikoto quickly told them of the dead woman and her baby, sending one of them off to the Hokage to get ninja to collect the bodies. They may never know who the woman in the forest was, but she and her girl child would be buried in Konoha. After this they headed directly to the Uchiha district. Uruchi brought the child out of hiding in her kimono. "This little one is hungry." She laughed. "Sorry, but I'm much too old to nurse you." She handed the child over to Mikoto. "Mikoto, are you not still nursing little Sasuke?"

Mikoto took the child. "Yes." She shifted her kimono and brought the child to her breast. He began to nurse. "Hm, little one, you need a name now don't you?" She asked the child. She looked down at him to see red eyes looking back at her. She looked into his eyes and paused for a half step. "Hiei."

"What?" Uruchi asked, looking back at the younger woman.

"His name shall be Hiei." Mikoto said, this time with more confidence.

"Uchiha Hiei." Uruchi tested the sound of the name and smiled. "A fine name Mikoto."
