First off, I'm mammacass and I would like to thank everyone who read my story's

first chapter. I would also like to remind everyone that this story will be yaoi.

I'm trying very hard to make it funny but that is not always possible, and last

but not least, please review. I don't care if you hate it, flame away. If you love

it let me know.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters from the manga. But I

do own a few oc's who will be introduced in this chapter and in the next.

Warning: this is yaoi as I have previously stated, there will be boy on boy sex.

Some foul language.

Chapter 2

Carrying the baby, Naruto escorted the woman towards the orphanage. Passing

Yamanaka Flower Shop, Naruto spotted Ino working on a huge flower arrangement. Ino

glanced up just in time to catch a flash if blonde go past the window. "I wonder what

Naruto is up to today" Ino mumbled to herself. Naruto's stomach grumbled as they

continued down the street. "I wonder if I have time to stop at Ichiraku's , no I better

not , I can stop after I'm done with this." Walking now past the Konoha Hospital, he

spots Sakura, who is sitting on a bench reading. "Hey Sakura, on a break ?" the blonde

yells at the pinkette. "Just finishing, gotta run!" Sakura closed her book and ran off.

"The next building on the right is the orphanage" Naruto explained to the woman.

Glancing at the small building, the woman could see that it needed some major work

done on it. Stepping through the door the woman was overcome with the stench of dirty

things, laundry, dishes, and kids. "Let me go and find Chiihakuu. She will be able to show

you around." Naruto handed the baby to the woman and took off down the hallway.

"I don't know about this, little one." the woman told the baby. "This does not look like

a very good place to raise a baby." "Chii, where are you?" Naruto yelled as he ran down

the hallway. Stepping out of the last door on the right, Chiihakuu yelled back at him.

"Baka, there are children sleeping around here, you need to be quieter than that!"

"Sorry Chii, but I needed to find you. A woman came to the gates and said that she

had business here at the orphanage." the blonde mumbled apologetically. "Well, then

take me to her." Chiihakuu ran her hand through her bright red hair, frowning, "Do you

know what kind of business she has here?" she asked the blonde. "I'm not sure, but

it might have to do with the baby she has with her." the blonde answered Chiihakuu.

"Chiihakuu, this is the woman I escorted from the main gates to see you. Ummm, I'm

sorry but we've never been introduced properly. I don't know your name." "I never

said." answered the woman " My name is Emi and I found this child in an abandoned

house by herself. As I was traveling this was and knew that Konoha had an

orphanage so I brought her here with me." Emi said introducing herself.

" Well, as you can see, we are a small orphanage, but we do our best, let me

show you the nursery." Emi followed Chiihakuu to the first door on the left. Chii

opened the door and Emi looked around. There were eight cribs shoved side by side

in the small room on the right, on the left there were three rickety rocking chairs. The

walls had peeling blue paint. The single bulb hanging from the ceiling dimly lit the room.

In the far corner was a trash can overflowing with dirty diapers. "This is the only

room that is fixed up for children of this age. If we take the baby, she will have to

share a crib." Emi looked over the sleeping babies and was very disappointed.

"There are eight of us who work this nursery, four during the day and four at night."

Chiihakuu explained. "How much individual attention will this baby get." Emi asked.

"Unfortunately not much, after tending to the needs of the smallest ones, we must go

and help with all of the other children. Right now we have eight babies between the

ages of newborn and one year, but we also have fifty other children between the ages of

two and sixteen. Fortunately, at the age of sixteen the kids age out of the system.

They have to get a job and pay for their own way. At the age of five, unless they show

earlier potential, the kids can be tested for the Academy. If they don't go to the

Academy, we can teach them here. Children who become gennin can become emancipated

at graduation. We help them find a place to live, but they are on their own from

graduation on." As Chiihakuu explained all of this, Emi came to the realization that the

orphanage was not the place to leave this child, even though this child was not hers

she wanted the absolute best for the baby. "That ninja, Naruto I think his name was,

he seems like a good person. I'm thinking that maybe he might be the best person to

leave the baby with." Emi thought to herself. "Hey Naruto, what's it like being a

ninja?" Emi asked the blonde. "Being a ninja is the best, Believe it! Of course, I

couldn't have been a ninja without help from Chii. I'm an orphan, too. Chii started

here when I was seven. She was sixteen at the time and she pleaded on my behalf to

get me into the Academy. With help from Chii and Iruka-sensei, I worked hard and

caught up with the other kids my age. Now I'm a Chuunin and I have tons of friends."

As the blonde finished his story, Emi thought to herself that Naruto was definitely

the right person to leave the baby with. "He has a stable job. He has friends and

others to help him when he gets stuck and frustrated." "Well Naruto, I think that

it's time for you to escort me to the main gates." Emi asks while figuring out a plan

to get back into the village without him.

Saying goodbye at the gate to the blonde, Emi waved to the different ninjas on guard

duty. Walking off into the trees, Emi cuddled the baby to her chest. Stopping at a

large tree, Emi jumped up to the top. Scanning the gate from her vantage point,

she spotted a small area of the wall where it seemed she should be able to jump

back into the village. Jumping back down, Emi walked slowly to the area of the wall

she spotted. Looking around to make sure she hadn't been seen, Emi jumped to the

top of the wall. She walked across the top, cuddled the baby closer to her body, and

jumped down the other side, coming down behind a row of buildings. Emi walked around

to the front of the stores and walked a few feet. Spotting the flower shop she and

Naruto passed earlier, she walked inside. Looking around at all of the flowers, she

spotted her favorites, lillies. "Can I help you pick out some flowers to make a bouquet."

a young blonde woman asked. "No, I was just looking. You have beautiful flowers here."

Emi replied. "Well, my name is Ino, and if I can be of any help, just ask." Ino said as she

started to walk away. "Excuse me Ino, but there might be something you can help

me with. Do you know where I can find a certain blonde ninja named Naruto?" Emi

asked. "Well, if I know Naruto, and I do, he is gorging himself with ramen at Ichiraku's.

It's a ramen shop just a couple of buildings down from here on the right." Ino told the

woman. "Well, a bowl of ramen sounds good right about now, so I think I'll head over

there and have some dinner and see if I can talk to him." Emi thanked the blonde flower

girl and left the shop. Spotting the ramen stand just down the street, Emi walks

over quickly and sat down at the far end of the counter. "Can I get you something?"

asked the young woman behind the counter. "I'll have a bowl of pork ramen, please."

Emi answered. The young woman left and then returned just as quickly with Emi's

order. Snapping her chopsticks, she uttered a quiet "Itadakimasu" and started to eat.

Pausing for a moment, Emi looked down at the baby she carried. The baby was sleeping

peacefully, cradled across her stomach. "I think if I left y with the young ninja, that

would be the best life I can give you." Emi whispered to the sleeping baby.

The door to the restaurant opened and Emi glanced over. In walked Naruto with

a group of his friends. "Hey old man, five bowls of miso ramen." the blonde yelled. "OK,

Naruto, give me a few minutes." came the responding yell. Emi quietly finished her

meal and paid the young woman for it. Watching the group of young men, Emi sat

quietly, while the boys laughed and carried on. She watched as Naruto finished all of

his food in record time , then ordered more. One by one his friends left. Naruto dug

out his frog coin purse and paid for all of the food. Emi followed him at a small

distance to his apartment. She waited on the street level while watching which door

the blonde ninja entered. After some time, she watched all of the lights go out. The

baby started to quietly fuss. "I'm sorry, little one, but it's time for me to go."

She cuddled the baby close to her breast as she climbed the stairs to the blonde's

door. Kissing the baby on the forehead, she lay the baby down on the doorstep.

Inhaling deeply, she pounded on the door. She watched as a light turned on in the

main room, then took off running down the stairs and into the night. Naruto went to

the front door and opened it. Not seeing anyone, he began to shut the door. Just as

he almost shut it completely, he heard a cry coming from the floor. Spotting a bundle,

He stooped down and moved the blankets. "HOLY SHIT, A BABY!"

I am hoping that everyone has enjoyed chapter 2. Just so everyone knows, This is the first time I have ever written a story, so please bear with me. I hope to see everyone soon. And please review.
