HI! So… before this chapter starts I want to ask you guys to do something for me. Well what I want you to do is to give me a deadline for the next chapter. Because I work better with deadlines and I won't forget to do the next chapter… The first person to give me a deadline, I will do it!
Anyway that's all I wanted to say so… this is the next chapter!
Naruto's POV
Naruto was in darkness, a void, with nothing else.
'Am I dead? Is this what death looks like?' Naruto thought, as he floated around.
A white light flashed and suddenly Naruto was in a field with beautiful sakura flowers all around.
"Are you sure, Kimi?" Naruto turned around to find a beautiful woman and a male shinobi talking to someone. The male was holding the female in a protective hug.
"Yes, I'm sure Tsunade."
'TSUNADE! WHAT'S BAA-CHAN DOING HERE?'
"It will kill you. There's no chance you will survive. Are you sure you?"
The woman laughed, "Tsunade. You and I have been friends since we were 10. You know me well enough that I will do whatever I can to protect my precious people," she hugged her stomach, "and although this child hasn't been born yet, I love them already. I know Sakumo will take good care of them. Have faith in my decision and please help take care of them. Tora understands and respects my decision so please, do the same."
'Tora? Than that means those two people talking Tsunade are Kakashi's parents! Why am I witnessing this? It's obvious that, that woman is pregnant with Kakashi. So what impact does this have on me?'
Tsunade started talking again, "I do respect your decision but Kimi… Who is Tora going to be sealed in?"
Kimi looked sad, "Our child…"
"Kimi! You're going to seal a bijuu within your own child?"
"Yes… If II do that then they'll both be safe. Sakumo will make sure they understand not to tell anyone about Tora and to kill anyone that wants to reveal the secret."
"KILL!"
"Unfortunately yes. In my clan, if someone finds out about Tora then they must be either killed or give us an oath of secrecy that they won't tell."
Tsunade sighed, "And you agree with this Sakumo?"
"Although I don't like it, if Kimi really wants to keep this child, then I can't say no."
Naruto knew that childbirth was when the seal on a jinchuuriki's body was at its weakest point but why did Kakashi's mum have to die when it was obvious Tora didn't have the urge to escape or hurt the seal in any way? What made Tora and the Tatsukage clan so different?
The flash of white appeared again and this time, Naruto was in an emergency room with Kimi and Sakumo. Kimi was obviously in labour and Sakumo was sitting on a chair, hildong her hand.
"Come on, Kimiko-san. They're almost out." said the nurse.
Kimi's face was drenched in sweat and was red with exhaustion.
'Right now I'm thankful I'm not a girl…Labour looks painful…'
A baby's cry broke Naruto's train of thought. Little baby Kakashi was in a blanket, being held by Kimi and Sakumo.
"He's so adorable! What will you call him?" asked the nurse.
"Kakashi. We'll call him Kakashi." Kimi said with a smile.
Tsunade burst into the room.
"Tsunade-Sama!" cried the nurse, obviously surprised to see her.
"Hello. Looks like I arrived just in time. It's okay nurse, I'll take it from here."
"H-hai!" the nurse stuttered, practically running out of the room.
"Ahhhhhhh! He's so cute!" squealed Tsunade. (Kakashi's always been cute!)
"Thank you Tsunade. Now if you don't mind I think it's time for Tora to meet her new host."
"So soon but Kimi-"
"No buts! Let's just get this over with before I chicken out." Kimi started to cry.
Sakumo wrapped his arms around Kimiko's shoulders and kissed her on the forehead, "It's okay. I'll be with you til the end."
Kimiko nodded. She laid down, giving Kakashi to Sakumo, she ripped her top to where the seal was, "Hitsuji, ne, saru, tori, tatsu, uma, tora, ne, tora, ne, hitsuji. Full seal release!"
Kimi's body started to convulse and shake, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and suddenly Tora's chakra erupted from her body and there standing next to a panting Kimiko was Tora.
So it's time.
"Yes Tora." said Kimi, breathless, "Please take care of him."
I will.
Kimiko took Kakashi into her arms, "I'm so sorry Kakashi that I can't raise you myself, that I can't see you fall in love, that I can't go off at you for peeking into the girl's hot spring. Please remember to eat your vegetable, keep your room nice and clean, do as your father asks you, make some real friends and never let them go, and most importantly, find someone in your life that makes you happy. I don't care if they're a boy and they're younger than you, just make sure when you have sex with them that they are at least 18 and make sure you're 18 as well. Or else I will literally rise from the dead and beat you to a bloody pulp. Don't think I'm joking, I've done that to your father hundreds of times. And always remember that even though I'm not with you I'll always be watching you, so don't you ever think that I'm not proud of you! Oh Kakashi I wish I could be there with you and Sakumo but…" Kimi was fully in tears by now, "Always remember I love you and I'm sorry I didn't have more time with you." Naruto watched sadly as Kimi handed baby Kakashi back to Sakumo, "Okay Tora, start the ceremony.
Tora nodded. She started speaking in an unknown language. Kimiko suddenly burst into fire and started to cruble away into ash. Sakumo and Tsunade were crying and baby Kakashi was wailing as if he knew something was wrong. After the ceremony even Tora was crying.
It's time Sakumo.
Sakumo nodded and placed Kakashi on the hot ash, this made Kakashi wail even louder.
I'm so sorry you're going to be burdened with me, Kakashi. I swear I'll protect you. Tora said, making the handsigns for the seal.
When she had finished, Tora placed a hand on Kakashi's stomach. To Naruto's surprised, Tora started to twist and twirl into Kakashi's body until all that was left of her was the seal on Kakashi's stomach.
Sakumo broke down fully crying, grieving for his dead wife. He picked up Kakashi, "I don't know much about parenting but I promise Kakashi, to do my best and protect you from the shinobi world until you're old enough."
The white flash came again and Naurto found himself face to face with Kakashi's mother, Kimiko.
"Hello Naruto." Kimi said, smiling.
"How do you know my name?" Naruto asked, shocked.
"Kakashi talks about you all the time. He's so proud of what you have become. He loves you very much."
"How can Kakashi talk to you when you're died?" Naruto asked.
"Well remember those catacombs. The ones where my family is buried?"
"Yes."
"Well, at certain times of the month, my spirit can actually be called from the grave by another family member. Kakashi visits me often."
"Is that another reason why he's always late?"
"Yep."
"You said that Kakashi loved me. Is that true?"
"Hunny. I was the one who predicted that your mother and father were going to get together. I kind of have a special gift of predicting who's going to get together. And believe me… it's obvious to me that you and Kakashi are going to be an item."
"Do you know anyone else out of the rookie 11?"
"Yeah I know everyone in Konoha that is close to Kakashi."
"Then who are all my mates going to get together with?" Naruto asked, excited. He knew he was going off topic here but he wanted to know.
Kimiko thought about it, "Well… Shikamaru Nara is obviously going to be with Temari Sabaku. It's more obvious than you and Kakashi. The same goes with Neji Hyuuga and Tenten. Ino is going to be with Sai. And Sakura… Shhe is going to be with Yamato."
"WHAT?" Naruto yelled. Who would have thought?
"Hey I'm just saying who I think is going to be paired up with who. Besides Yamato is 4 years younger than Kakashi. So technically they would be more likely accepted by everyone as a couple than you and Kakashi."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence."
Kimiko laughed, "It's almost time for you to go back. I'm happy we had this chat Naruto. It's good to know Kakashi has that special someone now. I was beginning to worry he would never find a lover. I'll be sure to tell Minato and Kushina when I see them in heaven."
"So there really is a heaven?"
"Yep. And a hell." Kimiko started to fade.
"Wait! Why did show me this?"
"You'll understand later. Goodbye Naruto."
Naruto once again, found himself in a white flash.
He awoke to find a most pleasant site.
"Thank god. You're awake." Kakashi said, smiling, WITHOUT HIS MASK! God he had a handsome face.
All Naruto could do was smile back.
I hope you liked it! Please review and chat to me if you want to! Really I'm a friendly person!
