Chapter 3: The Angel didn't Come Alone
As soon as Naruto released Cosmos' hand she collapsed to her knees on the floor. Kakashi approached and helped to steady her. She panted quietly, "Luna, Artemis, I need you."
Before anyone could ask who she was talking to, two cats jumped in through Tsunades' open window.
"Are you alright hime-sama? How can we help?" The black cat asked in a concerned and feminine voice.
"Did you over exert yourself again your highness?" The white cat inquired in a calm and masculine voice.
"I'll be alright in a few minutes. I need you to go to the girls and have them bring her here." Cosmos spoke from her place resting against Kakashi.
"Here Hime-sama?! You want to bring her here? Is that safe?" The black cat asked with a great deal of alarm.
"Yes, Luna, here. It will be alright and I need her to help me make an important decision." Cosmos said this in a tone that brooked no argument.
Both cats did there version of a bow, and without another word departed back the way they had come.
By this time Tsunade had gotten up and come to check on Cosmos. "I'm a medic Nin, is there any way I can help? And who did you send those two after?" She asked the first kindly and the second a bit harshly.
Cosmos smiled slightly. "I really will be alright in a few moments. I simply have to get past the sudden drain on my energies. Luna and Artemis want to get some friends of mine. I had hoped to keep their involvement in this to a minimum, but I see now that is not possible. He has had far more influence in this world than I had thought possible." The last part was mumbled to herself so quietly that only Kakashi heard her.
Kakashi wondered who he was. He also wondered why he felt so angry at the thought of another man in Cosmos life. He shrugged that off and turned his attention to Naruto who was watching Cosmos with an expression of wonder on his face.
"I feel so… light. Like a weight has been lifted. What did you do?" Naruto spoke as if he was not quiet sure what to ask.
Cosmos looked around the room at the various people waiting for her answer. For the first time she really looked at the two girls who had entered with Naruto. "Oh my…" she whispered when her eyes focused on Hinata.
"That does change things a bit," Cosmos murmured quietly. She shook of her head as if shaking off a troubling thought and answered Naruto's question.
"The being locked inside of you had been tainted by a being called Chaos. When that occurred, it was forced to do many things that led to its imprisonment inside you. I used my abilities to remove the taint and make it easier for the two of you to communicate, if you wish to do so."
Sakura spoke up, "What are you talking about? What's inside Naruto?"
"The Kyuubi is inside him," Hinata put in quietly.
Naruto spun around quickly, "How did you know that Hinata-chan?"
"My eyes. I can see the chakra, though something's different about it now. Its… softer now, almost kind. I think Cosmos really did what she says." Hinata spoke with as much confidence as she could.
Tsunade decided she should explain to the two girls, "On the night the Kyuubi attacked, no one could really defeat it, so the Fourth sealed it into a baby who had just been born. He had wanted the child to be viewed as the savior of the village."
Before the conversation could go any further Cosmos stood and several figures emerged from the shadows of the room. One was carrying something gently in her arms. All the figures revealed themselves to be female, dressed similarly to Cosmos in various colors.
The one in orange, who was cradling the wrapped bundle, spoke, "Hime-sama, we have brought her as you asked." As she spoke the bundle moved. Kakashi and Naruto's hands both went for their kunai pouches.
Hinata had her byakugan active again. "Wait everyone. Its not a weapon."
The blanket shifted back to reveal a child. A young girl who looked to be no more than four, with pink hair and red eyes which were just blinking sleepily open. "Mama?" She said questioningly.
"Here love," Cosmos said gently.
The little girl sat up in arms of the woman holding her and said demandingly, "Mama," As she held out her arms to be cuddled.
Cosmos walked over and took the little girl in a warm embrace. "Mama needs your help, Rini. Can I show you something?" Rini nodded solemnly and Cosmos touched her forehead to her daughters. There was a soft glow between them and then Rini started to cry quietly.
"Mama wants to help the boy you saw, Rini. Would you be willing to share Mama with him? You would get a new big brother to love and who I think would love you in return." Rini sniffled quietly but nodded with eyes almost as wise as her mothers.
Cosmos turned to the women who had brought her daughter. "I wish to give you a new charge. Would you accept one not directly of my blood as such?"
The women glanced at each other and then the one in orange spoke, seemingly for all of them, "If hime-sama has found someone worthy to be her child, it is not in us to protest. We will protect all of hime-sama's family with our lives."
Cosmos then turned to the Konoha shinobi in the room. "The Kyuubi shared a great many things with me when I purified him. Naruto's past, and his family situation among them." Cosmos looked directly into Naruto's eyes then.
"I would like to give you a family Naruto. If you would allow it, I would like to adopt you and make you my son."
Tada! Another chapter done. Please let me know what you think!
