Chapter Two:

Naruto

"Okay. Take a deep beath Naruto. Nothing to get upset about, I mean, all I did was get my wife pregnate..." Naruto thought aloud as he paced back and forth at the training area. He finally had a chance to get out of the house and away from the mood swings of Hinata's. "I just got my wife pregnate with TWINS!" he said with frustration. " How could this happen?! Well, I know how it happened--- but so soon?!"

"Why so spazzy today, Naruto?" Naruto turned around to see Iruka suddenly appear in front of him. The aging Chuunin smiled cockily and full of youth despite the fact that he was moving up in years.

"If you've been here this whole time, you'd know." Naruto responded with a microscopic pinch of spite.

"No I haven't, but if it has to do with what you where screaming to the heavens yesterday, then I understand!"He smiled at him with a sparkle of pervertedness in his eyes. "Yup. You must have had a lot of time on your hands on that 'special day'." Naruto's face turned bright red. After all these years he'd thought he'd be able to reduce his blushing attacks. He probably would have succeded if Iruka didn't throw in his perverted comments.

"Guh!" he huffed. "Would you give it a rest with that crap?!" Iruka could see that his old student was stressed from this situation and why wouldn't he be? "Having twins will be double the trouble! With just one kid you'd only have to worry about one kid running off with one boyfriend or girlfriend, or worry about one kid trying to sneak out! But with two...?" he sobbed.

"Don't worry." trying to cheer Naruto up, Iruka asked, "You wan't a boy, don't you?" Naruto nodded. "And Hinata wants a girl, right?" he nodded once again, "So with twins, you'll both be happy."

"I suppose, but the only things I've tried to keep alive besides myself were those squirrels I kept as pets when I was a kid... what if they end up like them?!" Naruto started to mildly hyperventalate.

"Naruto, if you're freaking out now, what will it be like during the delivery?" Iruka murmmured to himself as he tried to calm him down.

Soon afterwards, Naruto had some time for a quick nap. He was tired for working all night yesterday, so as he laid down on the bed, he immediately went unconcious.

"Wheee!!" a small little boy jumped down from a tree and landed safely on the ground. "Come on sister! Its fun!" Soon a little girl joined the boy, laughing as they tried to climb up the tree. Once they succeded, they looked down.

"Daddy!" The little girl called, her eyes glittering and smiling brightly, her hair being toyed with by the wind. Naruto turned around to look at the two children laughing and giggling.

"What are you guys doing up there?" he laughed as he walked up to them and plucked them from the tree one by one. But as he turned around from the tree to face his children, the tranquil, blue sky turned gray and cloudy and the ground was covered in snow. Everything looked dead and baren. He looked down to where he had placed the children, but they were no longer standing there.

Suddenly he saw drips of blood on the snow and he started to panic. He ran towards the distant barren horrizon. All the rows of trees that somehow made a trail, were black and when the wind rattled through their branches they made a whailing sound filled with pain. He stopped, foolishly mistakening the wind's howl for his childrens' screams. Suddenly the ground started to break underneath him. He tried to move, but his body wasn't responding. He fell, plumiting down farther and farther into darkness and the unknown. He screamed in sheer terror, but started to choke. Warm, bitter-sweet blood was flowing out and joining the air, but did it matter? He was plummiting to his death anyway. I'm going to die! Where the words repeating, no, screaming through his mind. Suddenly his body was smashed against the cold ground, the air from his lungs forced out of his body.

For what seemed like an eternity he laid there looking up towards the sky which seemed so distant now, barely any of the light from it reached his face. His body became cold and stiff, but he was alive, aware of every momment that passed slowly by.
