Ch. 3

Loss

Naruto lay on his big orange bed in his calming green room relaxing in the silence and giving his hand a well deserved break from signing papers all day. Down stairs he could here the sounds of his children watching TV. Himeko was singing to some song rather loudly and a little off tune. He was happy his kids could live in such a good house; Minato left him the Namikaze estate.

It was designed like most of the other clan districts, a little closer to the woods though so that a lot of the houses were built almost with the trees making them see like tree houses on the ground. In the middle was his two story, six bed roomed house. A tall blue house with open windows allowing for a lot of sunlight, a porch in the front that led to the empty street and another porch in the back over looking a vast backyard with trees and it's own garden -not as wonderful as the Hyuga gardens, but still beautiful. Naruto even built a tree house in the big old tree in his backyard for his kids complete with a wooden swing and a climbing rope.

Downstairs was soft reds carpets and the big kitchen was blue, a dining room, a family room, a bathroom, and three guest rooms. One green, one blue and one red. Upstairs the color was soft leaf greens and sky blues with another bathroom and three more rooms. Naruto's room was orange and green -he had never been one for color choice- and the other two belong to his kids, a sky blue room painted with clouds for Himeko and a deep blue room with a carefully painted star lit sky -done by Kiyoto himself- for his son. Finally at the top of round swirling stairs was the attic with an open sky roof.

Connected to Naruto's by a pale hallway on the side was a training room that led to a patch of clear green ground for outside training. Around the house were other houses, some smaller, some larger, all empty and alone. Looking like a small ghost town.

"Ne, Sakura, isn't it great?" He turned his head to her picture. It was taken on their wedding.

She was dressed in a beautiful but almost simple white dress. He pink bangs pushed to the side and held by a gorgeous red rose clip. Sakura leaned against a cherry blossom tree, it's pink petals falling magically around her. Naruto loved to look at her shining green emerald eyes.

They were to destroy some of Orochimaru's old abandoned labs, to many 'experiments' had been coming out of them. When the ANBU team didn't come back, Naruto himself went in search. Anything, he would do anything to find her.

"Hokage-sama!" A mask poped down in front of him with a dogs face, the only thing really visible at all. The ANBU looked up, "We found the team captain." He followed after the ANBU with a heavy heart. The had found Sakura.

Even the most gruesome death couldn't prepare him for the sight of his wife lying on the ground. The skies rained down upon them and pounded onto her. The only thing to protect that frail body was a green blanket that stopped at her neck.

"Sakura..." He whispered.

She turned her head to him and Naruto felt his head ache. Her still bright pink hair was stuck to her sickly face dripping water down her cheeks and he glazed eyes pierced his soul. He started to walk over to her, he couldn't just leave Sakura to suffer like that! Shizune stepped over and placed a firm hand on his shaking shoulders.

"I gave her something for the pain." Her brown eyes cried. "Naruto, don't lift up the blanket, she wont make it."

"Thank you." He managed out in a strained voice, removing her hand and walking once again to his wife.

Naruto knelt beside her and grabbed her limp, cold hand, stroking her lively pink hair out of her face.

"Hey, S-Sakura-chan." He ginned for her.

Sakura smiled and pale blue tinted lips opened with a cough. "H-hi Naruto." He placed her in his lap.

"Ne, Sakura," He looking into her dimming eyes. "Wanna know something grandma Tsunade told me?" She nodded her head and coughed some more, but he knew her body wasn't in any pain.

"Well," he laugh chocked in unshed tears. "she said that by the time you're thirty, you'll be as big as her!"

Sakura laughed tiredly before another coughing fit attacked her body. She lifted up a hand to caress his whiskers. "Always...my baka." She grinned and her eyes drooped.

"I love you...Naruto."

Naruto looking into her eyes, those eyes once so full of life, as her hand fell to rest on her stomach. "I love you too Sakura-chan." No one questioned or scolded Naruto as he hugged her limp body to his, screaming into the howling winds as the rain battered them all with its tears.

"Daddy! Isamu is here!" Naruto shot up off the bed and rushed down the stairs. Isamu was Himekos age, Sasuke's boy. "Why is he here so late? It's almost eleven!"

He then stood in front of the open door, Isamu standing there shaking with red tear stained cheeks and panting for air. The small Sasuke look alike started to sob, his onyx eyes leaked tears and he crumpled to his knees.

"Hurry Mr. Hokage!" He cried out. "M-mommy," His shoulders shook. "Father hurt mommy!"

Naruto's eyes went wide. "Kiyoto, watch the kids," he rushed on the porch, the night sky shining on him. "I'll be back."

"Okay dad." Naruto shut the door.

He could hear Himeko trying to calm the little Uchiha down. "Don't worry Isamu, daddy will help you're mommy."

Rushing off he ran down the street, pushing chakra into his leg so as to not waste a moment. "Sasuke you idiot! What did you do?"

"What are you doing out so late, Naruto?" His teacher Kakashi had been heading out to buy a new Icha Icha book because Anko destroyed his, when he saw Naruto rushing out of the Namikaze estate like a mad man. His former student shot a worried blue eyed glance to the silver haired man before setting his sights on the distance ahead of them.

"Isamu came to my house." The Uchiha district could now be seen. "Sensei, will you help me?"

Kakashi nodded. He knew Sasuke could be a hot head and his anger was dangerous, he was worried at what could have happened. Hinata, her kids, would Sasuke's anger get the better of him to a point where he harmed them? When Naruto picked up speed, the worried man did to.

When they landed in the blue dojo room, what they saw inside all but broke their hearts. Hinata lay on the ground bleeding and bruised. Her chest heaved up and down for air. The kids scattered around her tending to any wounds they found.

"Sasuke," their minds cried, "what have you done!"

The youngest, Fuyuki, say by her head with wide sharingan eyes and a kunai in his small shaking hand as if to protect her. Hizashi was tenderly wiping the blood of her face, his pale white eyes bloodshot from crying. Asako and Arashi had pulled off her blue Uchiha jacket and were wrapping her arms. Arata held a towel to her abdomen, byakugan activated with a pale mournful face.

"Naruto," he said to the Hokage as the blond got closer, "save my mom." The towel was soaked in blood. "Please." A tear strayed out of his eye and fell down his cheek.

Naruto lifted a feather light Hinata up bridal style. "Kakashi, take them to my house." He didn't wait for the answer but rushed away determined to get the woman to a hospital.

He felt tears fall down his own cheeks as he carried her. Naruto may still be an idiot, but he wasn't stupid. He knew what that blood meant, and so had Arata. "He never said a word about his unborn sister." Naruto held the shivering girl closer, her eyes flickered under her eyelids. No doubt Saskue used mangekyou.

"Oh Hinata, I'm so sorry!"

Nothing would be able to save her heart from the loss. Nothing in the world. Not even her bright sunshine boy.
