Such a short chapter I offer you, but here you go!
Nagato wailed as Utena tried to heal him, but her chakra reserves were scant enough as they were in her weakened state. The travel along with the bit of food they had wasn't enough for her to recover properly, plus being out in the elements had made the baby get a chill during the night so now he was very ill. Itachi was running as fast as he could, but it was unfortunate that the closest ninja village was Sunagakure no Sato.
"Stop wasting your chakra, it's not making him better," he scolded her.
"But he's suffering so much, it kills me to see it," she whimpered, tears coming to her eyes.
"We'll be there very soon, I just hope we'll be able to get in so he'll be taken care of."
She nodded and just kept her baby close to her to try and keep him warm. It was nighttime so both she and the newborn were shivering, but that would also mean easier access to the village. Itachi slid through the gates like a shadow, before making a straight path to the ninja hospital. Utena needed care as well and only ninjas could heal her quickly.
He set her down gently at the front door, and she slid it open, Nagato's crying attracting the attention of many of the female nurses. They noticed neither he or his mother were doing well, so they rushed them into one of the rooms where Utena was hooked to an IV, Nagato was cured of the infection he'd caught, and both were wrapped up all warm and cozy. Utena passed out as soon as her baby stopped crying and one of the nurses moved to Itachi's side to tell him that everything was all right, only to find he was asleep as well, grasping the young woman's hand. She smiled and put a blanket over him and a pillow under his head. Whatever had brought this exhausted family here, hopefully they'd be able to rest and recuperate before leaving.
Awwww...I LOVE IT! So cute!
That's what I have to say about this chapter. I do wonder what will happen to our little family once Utena is back on her feet.
Please review!
