P.S. - We do not own Naruto, but we do own this OC and any that may appear in the future.
~Seiko's POV~
"Come In..." a voice said from behind the door. As we walked in, well, Iruka walked and I was being carried by him... Whatever, we both entered the room, okay! I decided to become shy again like when I was four, so I hide myself back into my hair as Iruka entered the room. Bu I had to wonder, who was the person we were going to go see? Well, let me think... we're in the Hidden Leaf Village, and Iruka just got back on what I can assume was a mission. So who does everybody go see after a mission to report? Do I really have to answer that? Of course I know! Behind the shy exterior I was putting on, in my mind I was freaking out.
~Iruka's POV~
I felt Seiko move in my arms before we entered the room. My head tilted down so I should look at her, and she was hiding n her hair. Willingly this time. I blinked slowly, 'Oh, so now shes starting to act shy...' I thought to myself.
As I walked in, the Third Hokage lifted his head to look at me from his desk, "Iruka, you have returned I see. Tell me, anything to report?" he gave a questioning glance at the 'Hair Ball' in my arms, but I ignored it, we would get on that subject soon enough anyway.
"The patrol went smoothly. The surrounding lands of the village are quiet and peaceful, but on my return rout, I ran into a small child. A girl. She is rather young and doesn't seem to have any training as a shinobi. I also didn't notice anything on her that would indicate her being from an enemy village or group. Since she was completely alone, I brought her with me." I finished and Lord Hokage seemed to be interested in Seiko. His eyes darted the area around me for what I assume was a child. The child I was holding in my arms... Oh, no. No, don't say it. Don't say it!
"Well, Iruka, I don't see a child here. Only that you're holding a bundle of fur in your arms." No! Why did he need to say it?!
Suddenly, the temperature grew colder and- Is there ice on the windows? Seiko then jumped out of my arms, glaring daggers at the Hokage! One thing I thought was 'This isn't good!'
Well, hey! I tried to warn him! ...in my mind... Why does everything happen to me?
~Seiko's POV~
When I heard the comment, 'bundle of fur' I lost it! All conceitedness left me as I jumped out of Iruka's arms to face the Hokage, I was carful not to take a step so I wouldn't trip on the hair that was already badly tangled around me. I probably looked like a hair monster. I had been called fur, just one too many times today, and I was f****** sick of it! Behind all my rage, I heard a small voice in my head say, 'Oh, my God! It's him! The Hokage! *squeal*'
Ignoring that, I glared at him. "You stupid old guy!" I yelled. Yeah, probably not the best thing to do when talking to the village leader, I know. But at the moment, I. Don't. Care. Why? Because I'm mad! And what do four-year-olds do when they're upset? They throw tantrums! Now to continue my rant! "Like I told that stupid F***** up A**H*** at the Gate! I am not a bundle of F****** Fur-!" I would have cussed him out more, and I was, but they were all muffled as Iruka covered my mouth with his hand. I glared at Iruka and the Hokage as I continued to swear and cuss. It was then that I noticed the Anbu standing around the Hokage protectively, ready for a fight. What the hell were they doing here?
~Iruka's POV~
As soon as she was out of my arms, she started to cuss him out! 'Not again!' My hand moved and I covered her mouth with my hand. But, that does little to help since she is STILL swearing. "Hey, Seiko...?" She stops to turn and look at me. Her eyes clearly say, 'This better be good!' I sigh and say, "If you say sorry to the Hokage I will get you anything you want. Okay?" Her eyes shinned and sparkled, seems I got through... and now I am worried I will regret my decision later...
Seiko nodded very fast and I let go of her. She looked to the Hokage and the Anbu who were still here and gave them all a 'sweet smile'. Though, I'm sure on the inside it was the total opposite of sweet.
~Seiko's POV~
"Hey, Seiko...?" I heard Iruka call me. I stop glaring daggers at them at looked up at Iruka.. "If you say sorry to the Hokage I will get you anything you want. Okay?"
'Anything I want!?' I must have had a dreamy look in my eyes because he was giving me a look that said, 'I hope I wont regret this' I nodded my head very fast... He took his hand away from my mouth, and I turned and looked at the Hokage and the Anbu members. I smiled as sweet as I could at them. "Hi. My name is Akiyama Seiko. ...And I am not a bundle of fur... " I said with a slight pout. "I am sorry for my little tantrum." I was going to say more but I noticed something. "Is that Ice on the windows!?" I yelled and pointed to one of the frozen windows. Then they all suddenly fell to the floor... "Huh?" I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "Why did you fall over? Are you okay, Iruka?" I asked as I poked him with a stick... that came out of nowhere...
i'm gonna guess about five whole minutes passed before I got a reaction out of him. He launched into a crouched position and yelled as he snatched the stick away from me, "Seiko, stop poking me with the stick!" He faltered and all anger and irritation left him as he just looked at the stick in his hand. His eyes were saying, 'Where did this come from?'
I gave him the kicked puppy-dog look before lunging at him, "Mine!" ...I didn't think this through... Because, I landed. On the floor. Tangled in the cussed Death Trap that was my hair. I struggled to get out of it, but it wasn't working. I pulled it one way and it hurt, then another way and it hurt then too. All the while Iruka and the others were just staring at me! Why weren't they helping me? Tears of frustration began to fill my eyes as I struggled and think of the last half a day. I died. Got sent to the Naruto Universe. I'm trapped in the body of a four year old. And now I can't even get out of my own hair, again! All I want is food, a bubble bath, clean clothes, and sleep! is that really too much to ask?! ...I guess it is... Cause I'm still here!
I felt a large hand on my small shoulder and a voice, "Calm down, Seiko. We will get you out but I need you to calm down..."
It was Iruka. His voice was calming to me, like the ocean... kinda like my daddy before he died... I let out a soft whimper at the memory of my dad, "Okay, daddy." I obeyed him and just went limp in his arms.
~Hokage's POV~
I watched as the small girl went limp and her chakra relaxed. The windows stopped cracking and I could visibly see the relief wash over Iruka. She must really be a hand full. He laid the girl down and looked at her, making several attempts to untangle the hair without hacking it off. Iruka looked up at me, "Um... Lord Hokage, I'm gonna need some help..."
I nodded in understanding. "Yes, just keep her calm until we can get it." i turned my attention to the Anbu who straightened, ready for my orders. "Go and tell Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Choza Akimichi, and Hiashi Hyuga to come here at once." They nodded and took off with great speed to carry out their order.
Iruka's eyebrow quirked, "Sir, is it really necessary to bring them all here?"
Nodding, I answered, "Yes, each of them has an ability that is useful to this situation. But do not worry yourself with that, keep her calm until they arrive." he nodded and continued to just stroke her hair in a calming manner. I looked at the two of them and could already tel there was a strong bond being formed between them. It would surely upset her to be taken away from Iruka. What to do, what to do...
As I pondered this, the four I had requested arrived not two minutes later. Hiashi was the first to speak, "You called for us, Lord Hokage?"
"Yes." That is all I say as I watched them take in the sight of the still frozen windows that were now cracked. They looked rather puzzled, and even more so when they looked at Iruka. They probably thought she was a bundle of fur too. God forbid they say that out loud.
"What happened here?" Shikaku asked while the others looked extremely confused, even Hiashi.
"No time to go into details. You see that ball of... hair." I said gesturing to Seiko who was on the floor next to Iruka.
"Yes..." They all muttered uncertainly.
I couldn't help the amusement that crept into my voice, "There is a child under there and is trapped in her hair. We would like to untangle her without getting her upset." Seeing the questioning glances I continued, "You see the cracks on the windows and walls along with all the ice? Those are from her while she was throwing a tantrum. I believe it would be in everyone's best interest to keep her calm." Their jaws dropped. It was actually a very comical sight. Even Hiashi, a Hyuga, was surprised and shocked. That was a very rare occurrence to see any Hyuga Clan members show emotion of those sorts.
"So..." Hiashi said shaking himself from his stupor, "You need us so do what exactly?"
I nodded and began to give out orders, "Shikaku, I need you to use you Shadow Possession Jutsu to make sure she doesn't move, the more she moves the worse it gets. Iruka and the Anbu will untangle her while you do so. Choza, you must know the fastest place to get some food. Gather some food and bring it here for the girl, I doubt she has eaten anything for a while. Inoichi, i want you to try and look into her mind to try and find out as much about her as you can. And if possible, why she knows so many horrible words." I saw Iruka nod in agreement to that. "Hiashi, Use your Byakugan to watch her chakra, I want a report on how powerful she is now verses after she has eaten." They all nod and stand there. "Well, get to it! No one knows how long Iruka can keep her calm like this."
~ Iruka's POV~
About a half-hour later I was siting on the floor with Seiko in my lap. I tilted my head a little down at her and noticed she kind of looked like a kitten. Heh. She is a very cute kitten. ...Giving myself a mental slap I turned my attention to the Hokage. Hiashi and the others had done their job and had left, so now it was just me, Seiko, the Hokage, and an Anbu agent. "So," I whispered so I wouldn't wake up Seiko, "do you have any ideas for her?"
He hummed and looked at me and then Seiko, and back to me. "Well, I can already see that you two have a bond. And you are planing on becoming an instructor at the academy, correct?" I nodded. He smiled at me, "Well then, I saw you start practicing with kids. How would having your very own sound?"
All processes of my brain stopped working there for a second. Me? A father? Was that what he was thinking?!
As if reading my mind he said, "Yes, Iruka, you would be her father. I do not see any problem with this arrangement, will you accept?"
How do I know the answer to that?! I'm only nine-teen years old! I'm not ready to be a father... I looked down at her and think it over. She has no one. And neither do I really, not since the attack. I guess we're more alike then I thought. Heh... I looked back up to the Hokage and nod, "Yes, I'll do it."
He smiled even wider, "Great. I'll set up everything for the adoption, and I might suggest you get her a haircut. Best to avoid incidents like today."
I laughed and nodded. Looking down at the sleeping girl in my lap I smiled. I'm gonna be a dad... Wow. Never would have thought this would happen when I got out of bed this morning.
~Third Person POV~
Iruka got home later then expected. The papers took forever to get through, but it was official now. She was his daughter... He was a father... He had to be honest when he thought the sudden change in his life was sudden and it hadn't really hit him yet. Though that didn't stop him from being happy about it. She would definitely keep his life interesting, that much he knew.
The still sleeping Seiko was in his arms and he gently put her on the couch of his small apartment. He was glade the Hokage had offered them somewhere else to live, this place was no place to raise a child. He didn't even have a bed for himself! Let alone a kid. He stood and thought for a minute before grabbing a hair tie from a nearby table. If he didn't do something with her hair then in the morning it would be a mess again. So, he took her hair and gently put it into a ponytail, and then continued to braid it. He wasn't too good at braids, but he tried.
When he got her hair good enough, he laid down with her in the bed and looked down at her. A soft smile curled his lips and he placed a soft kiss on the top of her head. "Goodnight, my angle." With that he let himself fall asleep with his daughter in his arms.
Little did he know that 'angle' is a word not many will use to describe her in the future...
