Itachi Grumbled as he was awoken from his nap, their plan was to leave early in the morning to avoid any trouble along the way, he leaned up on his arms and looked to his right, where Fugaku was wrapping a second layer of blanket around little Sasuke.

"If we leave now we can make it there before noon, the sooner the better" he commented as the clan prodigy stood to his feet and rolled his neck around getting the uncomfortable kinks out of it from sleeping in uniform.

"I'll be right back" His father muttered as he set the bundled up Sasuke on the bed and walked outside, the moment he stepped out the white wolf was at his side. But he paid her no mind as he walked down the snow covered street to the doctors office to make sure the trip back was safe for his youngest son.

Soon he was in the building, leaving Ammy outside the door, suddenly something overshadowed her, she turned around to see a man with his young daughter staring in her direction, the little girl running up to pet her………

[ Back in the Hotel Room

Itachi leaned over to see his little brothers face, you know, just to check. Sasuke didn't move any of his facial features, and with the blanket he couldn't tell if he was breathing or not, a sly grin came to his face as he got an idea, he slowly lifted up his hand and it came down on his otouto, two fingers poking him right in the forehead…..

He couldn't have sworn he saw him wince a little, he laughed before standing to his feet and finding his jacket, preparing to leave.

[ At Doctors Office

The captain of the Kohona Military Police was welcomed with quite the sight when he exited the doc's office.

The white beast was surrounded by children, she sat perfectly still and panted as the kids climbed over, sat on, and tugged on her. That's when a man approached him….

"That your dog?"

"Maybe, who wants to know?"

"I'm Kurtane Snowalker, would you consider selling the animal to me? She seems great with kids, and I'm sure I can find a use for her around town….."

Fugaku paused for a moment before answering…………………………………..

[ Two Hour Time Skip

The climate change was undoubtedly thanked for by the three Uchiha as they approached the gates of their homeland, Kohona.

Fugaku went one way to get Sasuke into the hospital- just for safety- as Itachi returned home to inform his mother of their arrival.

He slowly slid the paper door back, revealing his mom sitting at the table, a blanket around her shoulders and dark circles under her eyes. She was so tired she didn't even hear him come in, but of course the fact that no one ever hears the great Itachi Uchiha might have something to do with it.

Itachi rested a single hand on her shoulder, she jumped in fright, quickly tuning around to see who it was, a look of relief and extreme gratefulness on her face as she dropped her tea and turned to hug him, which this time he actually didn't pull away from her embrace.

Finally she released him and took a step back, her eyes asking a silent question 'what about Sasuke…'

"Don't fret mother, he's at Kohona hospital, he's going to be fine-" He didn't have a chance to finish his sentence as she was no loner infront of him, but by now well on her way to the hospital.

It took less than a minute for her to run through the double doors, her eyes darting back and forth for any sign of- AHA!

She found herself running down the hall and nearly tackling her husband into a tight loving hold.

"Where-" she started, but he stopped her as he pointed a finger at a glass window that allowed people to see into the room, and there, on a white sheeted bed with nurses and doctors hovering all over him was her son, her baby, her Sasuke…………..

She started to try and get into the room, but Fugaku stopped her.

"Give them a chance to look him over, then you can see him….."

"How long will that take?!"

"Maybe overnight before they know for sure if he's stable enough for visitors…."

"Stable enough?! I'M HIS MOTHER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!" she yelled, successfully attracting the attention of everyone in the hallway.

"Mikoto calm down, please, we'll go home and the doctors will call us when he's ready" he tried to comfort her as he placed both hands on her shoulders, but she pushed him away.

"NO! I won't leave him, I'll stay here all WEEK if I have to" she stated as she turned and placed one hand on the glass, wanting so badly to be next to him, to comfort him, to help him somehow.

"Mikoto, please, I'm begging you, just let it go, we'll go home, and I'll tell you everything……if you don't leave now I'm going to have officers escort you home"

"Try and force me to leave and YOU will be the one needing medical attention" she growled as she turned to face him, staring him straight in the eye, needless to say, at this moment he was actually kind of scared of his wife……..
