Naruto and his first family
Last chapter
"I forgot to mention these are my sons. This is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Kumo (epic name)" she gestured at the sunshine boy who in turn waved excitedly with a fox like grin on his face. "And this is Gaara Kumo no sabaku" She said motioning towards the blood haired boy who just nodded with his arms crossed.
"How did you find them" asked Sango
"Well. Let me get my thoughts together"
This Chapter:
"It all started two years ago on a trip to what is know to its people as the hidden continent. Shippo wished to go there to shop for new swords and more advanced weapons while Miyako and I made it into a business trip and a fun vacation at the same time. Shopping from store to story for clothes and visiting the village leader was always first on the priority list. The people of the village were seeming friendly, but they had a large military force. You see this was a ninja village. Most of the large villages in the hidden continent are ninja villages. But I'm getting off topic. Where was I?" She said shaking her head trying to clear her thoughts "
(I'll be telling this in third person point of view from now on in this chapter. Its to hard to tell the story any other way.)
Kamaeko decided to take Miyako to the park for a day of relaxation. There were no political meetings, no places they had to be, and no one breathing down their necks. Kamaeko let Miyako play in the park while she sat down to a good book.
"Be nice and make friends" Kamaeko said with a stern look "But choose your friends carefully"
Miyako then decided that she would build a sandcastle. She wanted it to be the biggest and best sandcastle Konoha had ever seen. But she couldn't accomplish this might feat by her self. She decided to go recruit help. While marching through the playground she spotted a little boy sitting on a swing by himself watching the other kids play. He didn't seem to have any notion of joining them as their parents were glaring at him.
"Hey do ya wanna play?" Miyako said looking at the boy
"You want me to play with you?" the little boy boy asked hesitant
"Well if you don't want to..." Miyako pouted and started to walk away
The boys face looked worried. "I didn't say I didn't want to play. It's just that no one wants me to play with them. They just call me Freak"
"Well I do come on!" She said pulling on his hand she dragged him back to the sandbox and said with a cute grin that would melt even the iciest heart. "My name is Miyako what's your name?"
"Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto."
"Well come on Naruto help me build its going to be the best sandcastle ever!"
They played for hours. They built and demolished sandcastles with reckless abandon and then played tag. By the time they got done playing it was dusk. The sunset set the sky on fire. Naruto told her that this was his favorite color. She replied to him that her favorite color was a dark purple, because its the color her daddy always wore.
"Miyako its supper time lets go" Kamaeko's voice was heard calling
"Come on Naruto you can meet my mommy!" She dragged a reluctant Naruto towards the direction of the voice.
'It's all going to be over when her mom meets me. Her mom is going to scream GET AWAY DEMON. Miyako wont like me anymore. I knew this couldn't last forever. It always happens when I find a new friend. After all who would want someone like me?.' Naruto thought.
By the time Naruto was done thinking they had reached Miyako's mother. 'She's pretty. She looks like a older version of Miyako.' His thoughts were broken by the sound of Miyako's voice.
"Momma, this is Naruto hes my new friend can he come over for supper? Please?"
Kamaeko looked at the small boy before her. He was too skinny for his age and his clothes hung off his frames. His bones stuck out and his skin did little to cover them. He was dirty and scarred. His sunshine hair was matted beyond belief and when he glanced up at her his eyes were ocean blue. He quickly looked down as if he would be punished 'Who could do something to such a sweet little boy I'll have to do something about this. I'll talk to the Hokage about this tomorrow.' she thought. His clothes were torn and could barely even by called rags he didn't wear shoes.
Kamaeko then noticed how nervous he was. He was scuffing his foot on the sandy ground avoiding I contact. Kamaeko put a hand on the boys shoulder and he flinched. She heard a whimper and if it wasn't for the fact that she had excellent hearing she probably wouldn't have heard it.
"Do you want to have dinner with us Naruto?"
"I can? Really!" His face lit up at the fact that he wasn't being yelled at. Someone was actually accepting him he was so happy.
"Of course darling. Come on lets go kids."
Kamaeko held out her hands for Miyako and Naruto to grasp. Miyako grabbed her mothers hand and Naruto grabbed the other hand hesitantly. They walked to the apartment with the sound of silence permeating in the air. It was peaceful. Kamaeko smiled down at Naruto a couple times just to reassure him.
When they got to the apartment that they had rented for a few days. Miyako gave Naruto a tour. There were three rooms. One room was Miyako's, another one was her mom's. Naruto asked who slept in the third room and Miyako replied "my Onii-san". There was also a kitchen, a bathroom with a tub and shower, and a spacious living room. While supper was cooking he learned from Miyako that they had come for politics and relaxation and that her big brother was out shopping for training clothes and weapons. Kamaeko made stir-fry and Naruto ate with reckless abandon, so happy that he got food that day. While they were eating light conversation was initiated.
"Naruto will your parents be worried that you're not home?" Kamaeko asked
"I don't have any parents."
"Sorry I shouldn't have asked. Should we call the orphanage and tell them where you are?"
"I don't live with the orphanage..." Naruto said hesitantly
"Then where do you live?" Kamaeko was worried at the boys expression
"On the streets... If I'm lucky I can find some leftovers in the dumpsters. If I'm really lucky there are used blankets." He said with a fake smile
This reality set Kamaeko's mind into a whirlwind of torment. Now the Hokage was really going to get an earful. She started planning in her minds just a list of complaints that she had about his village and the way that they let this poor boy be treated.
After supper Naruto got up from the table and said "Thank you for the meal mam, but I shouldn't intrude any longer" He headed towards the door.
"Where do you think your going young man?" Kamaeko said sternly with her hands on her hips
"To the park to sleep."
"Do you really think that I would allow you to sleep in the park? You can stay with us."
"Really?" Naruto was so full of joy. He got someone to play with, food, and a place to sleep. This was the best day of his life
"Yes now come on lets get you some pajamas and then I'll get you a bath."
Kamaeko picked him up and set him on her hip. They started walking towards Miyako's room and they headed towards the closet. She sat him down gently on the edge of the bed. He watches as she ruffled through the closet with a concentrated look on her face. 'She is taking care of me like I am her own. Oh how I wish to have a mother like her. Caring but not overdoing it, protective but not overprotective. She's perfect.' he thought still watching her.
"I found a pair of pajamas that look like they'd fit you. They were my son's when he was your age. Lets get you out of those rags and washed up" She smiled over her shoulder and motioned for him to follow her. As she ran his warm bath she noticed that he was less nervous. Kamaeko had heard that she could make any child warm up to her, but this child was different. He didn't seem to trust very many people. Naruto crawled into the bath. Realizing that he probably hadn't had a bath in a while Kamaeko rolled up her sleeves and started bathing the small filthy boy. She scrubbed him gently, being wary of the cuts and bruises that littered his body. By the time Naruto's bath was done the once crystal clear water was a murky brown. Kamaeko dressed him in his pajamas.
"Hmm now where to let you sleep? Would you like to sleep in Miyako's room?" Kamaeko said with a thoughtful look on her face
"Yes Mam"
"When I hear mam I look around for my mother. You can call me Momma, Mom, or even Kamaeko."
"I will call you Kamaeko"
"That would be fine. Now lets get you two into bed" Kamaeko led the way to Miyako's room and tucked the two children into bed beside each other. "Good night Kids." She said kissing them each on the forehead "Sweet dreams"
"Night momma" Mumbled the little girl
"Night Kamaeko" said Naruto as he fell asleep beside his best friend.
It was a perfect night, but a small thunderstorm started. This alone probably wouldn't have woken the children, but the house was creaking and Miyako's older brother could be heard snoring in the other room. Naruto woke with a start after a tremulous wave of thunder shook the house. He felt something curled up next to him snuggled close and whimpering. He looked over to find that it was Miyako. She had been awake for a while, and snuggled closer to him in order to find protection.
"Lets go to momma's room" Miyako said with fear in her voice
"Ok"
Miyako crawled out of bed holding Naruto's hand and clutching her teddy bear as close as possible to her. They made it through the house that had shadows looming around every corner just waiting to strike fear in their eyes. The door to Kamaeko's room creaked ominously as they opening it. Kamaeko was sitting up with the lamp in her room turned on. She was reading a book. As soon as the door creaked open she started and then looked to find the two children huddled together at the entrance.
"What's the matter? Did the storm wake you up? Come on we can sleep together tonight. They both leaped into bed and snuggled in close to their only form of protection from the booming thunder and flashing lightning.
"Mommy can you sing us a lullaby?"
"Sure"
Little child, be not afraid Little child And someday you'll know Little child And someday you'll know That nature is so
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tear stained face
I am here tonight
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
In the morningLittle child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
For you know, once even I Well, now I am grown And I hope that you'll know
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep for fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
And these days have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning
As Kamaeko finished the song she realized that her children were already asleep. She smiled gently then pulled the covers over them and she fell asleep with them snuggled close. Her arms wrapped tightly around her kit and princess.
Naruto woke in the morning to find. Miyako still sleeping beside him, but and empty space where Kamaeko was the night before. He shook Miyako awake.
"Hey its morning"
"Five more minutes" she said as she snuggled down deep into the covers.
Naruto crawled out of bed and walked to the kitchen where he heard dishes clanking and laughter. When he walked into the kitchen Kamaeko's back was to him and she was fixing something on the stove. A teen with fiery red hair was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee still in his night clothes too. His emerald eyes twinkled at the conversation that had been having before Naruto walked in.
"You must be Naruto" stated the teen looking at Naruto. "I'm Shippo, Miyako's half brother, and Kamaeko's son." "
"Well I see sleeping beauty is awake." Shippo said with a smirk
"Onii-san!" Miyako finally realized that her brother was there and glomped him. "I missed you all day yesterday you didn't show up and I couldn't introduce you to Naruto."
"I am sorry I was out shopping for training supplies for me, and clothes and presents for you" Shippo said chuckling at his sisters tone of voice.
"Ok children settle down here's your breakfast" Kamaeko set the table and served some pancakes onto everyone's plates. Breakfast was quiet because the children were still half asleep. Shippo still had a grin on his face. He was hiding something and Naruto knew he was. But what was he hiding. Kamaeko looked at Naruto and Miyako and told them to stay at the house she had a meeting.
Kamaeko's walk to the Hokage tower was a short one. She watched the villagers and ninja's go about their everyday lives. The market was bustling with travelers and salespeople alike. Shinobi were patrolling the streets in case the peace was broken. She looked closer at the village that she had thought was perfect she met her little sunshine boy. The boy was precious to her now and it would be hard to let him go. 'Wait! I don't have to leave him.' She thought with an idea crossing her mind.
She walked into the Hokage tower full of confidence and spiteful of most of the citizens. The tower workers would later say that she held her self up in dignity yet she had eyes that were full of the fires of hell. The quote "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" was dimmed. After all a mother will give anything to protect her pups even her live. A mother who's children were in danger was so much more threatening than any Villager, Shinobi, God, or Goddess. They workers could see she was on a mission and bolted out of her path in a hurry. They had heard of Kamaeko a powerful diplomat from a far off land. They knew she was powerful after all she had the Western, Northern, Southern, and Central Lands on her side. An army to that extent could flatten all of the hidden villages simultaneously and have very few casualties.
The receptionist eyed her with fear, but Kamaeko just stared coldly. "I have come to see the Hokage and I will talk to him now!" Kamaeko stated with a calm yet powerful voice. "Yes ma'am" The receptionist said. Kamaeko stormed into the Hokage's office after slamming the door open to find many Jounin's having a discussion with him. They seemed to have been discussing a very important mission, but it didn't matter to this powerful Lady. "Sarutobi I need to have a word with you now or my people no longer will be at peace with you!" She demanded her hair blowing about her face with an invisible wind and her crimson eyes flashed with fury. The shinobi wasted no time to get into defensive positions.
"Who are you to dare threaten the Hokage?"
"Who am I? WHO AM I? I AM KAMAEKO KUMO! SISTER TO THE LORD OF THE WESTERN LANDS, SISTER TO THE LORDS OF THE EASTERN LANDS, ALLY TO THE LORD OF THE NORTHERN LANDS, AND TO TOP MY EXTREMELY LONG TITLE OFF! THE LADY OF THE CENTRAL LANDS!" The raven screamed not even having to catch her breath.
It was then the shinobi realized they were over their heads. Such a powerful woman with powerful allies was standing there before them with the glare of death upon her. "Sarutobi I need to speak to you alone. Don't make me ask again" Kamaeko stated coldly crossing her arms.
"Its alright minna-san just go she will not harm me." the hokage stated only his eyes showed how tired he was. The Shinobi backed away slowly then proceeded to head out the door. Except for one silver haired young man who headed out the window. (guess who) "Sarutobi I have come to tell you that I am taking the boy called Naruto Uzumaki. He has been treated bad. He has no friends, or family in the village and he has already been excepted into my family-"
"I agree with you" Interrupted the hokage
"- and another thing!... Wait...You agree with me? No fight, agrument, having to kidnap, nor all of the above?"
"I do believe he would do better with you. I just have one request. Bring him back sometime around the graduation for the children of his age. I would like to see him soon. I will miss him dearly."
"It is agreed and I will train him, adopt him, and send strength reports to you on him so you can judge his performance and give out his ninja level."
"That seems like a good idea. Here are the adoption papers if you would just sign here..." This continued for the whole morning. And when Kamaeko walked in the door of their apartment she was thrown to the floor by a crimson blur. She laughed and sat up holding her daughter. "I have something to tell you all."
"What momma/Kamaeko?" Said her children
"Naruto you don't have to call me Kamaeko anymore. I asked the hokage and he said I could adopt you!" She said with a grin putting Miyako on the floor
"REALLY!"
"Yup"
"Can I call you momma?" Naruto said scuffing his toe against the floor nervously
"Of course hun."
"Momma!" Naruto tackled his new mother and then a group hug ensued.
"After that we left Konoha and headed for Suna. Where we would soon meet Gaara." said Kamaeko to the Inugang. (Remember she was telling a story)
