Part 21

"What's going on?" Rue asked as Anko lead her and other villagers into a hiding place. There was a really weird vibe going around. They were being lead through secluded areas.

"Don't worry about it. Just come on." Anko barked softly

Upon arriving at their destination, Rue nearly bumped into Konohamaru, his friends and Iruka. Rather than listen to them talk with Anko, Rue looked around. Villagers went into a room and Rue grabbed Anko's arm.

"Keep an eye out for my parents. Please." She said, almost begging as Anko looked at her.

"I'm sure they'll be fine. Don't worry." Anko told her with a smile.

"No! You don't understand. Dad has no training and Mom hasn't trained since we moved here a few years ago. And Mom is, like, a month and a half pregnant. But she looks further along!" Rue explained as she let Anko go. Anko's smile faltered and she nodded solemnly.

Joining the other's in the room, Rue sat with Konohamaru and his friends.

"What's going on out there?" Moegi asked, looking at Rue. Rue simply shrugged

"Nothing good. We might be here for a while. So relax and don't worry." Rue said. She was worried about her parents, but she needed to keep the children calm.

So she smiled softly at the three children as they scooted close to her.

"Think Naruto's okay?" Konohamaru asked looking up at her.

"Naruto? Of course he's okay! Are you kidding? That guys built like an ox." She scoffed quietly.

Konohamaru nodded and gave Rue a small worried smile.

"Now, you three get some rest. We'll have a lot to do around the village when the dust clears." She told them sternly.

They nodded. Moegi and Udon leaned against her shoulders and Konohamaru curled up on her lap. Rue, not knowing what else to do, hummed softly.

As the three drifted, Rue looked around as she hummed. Her hum was light and airy and could be heard throughout the room. Other children curled up as they listened. One woman eyes Rue wearily.

"Do you really believe that there'll even be anything left when the dust clears?" She asked.

"I do. I think that no matter what happens, we'll come out of this better than ever." Rue smiled

The woman huffed negatively. Another woman turned to Rue and smiled

"Don't mind her, sweet pea. You're probably right. You're doing a great job with those three." She told her.

"Thank you." Rue answered simply before she returned to her humming.
