Part 3

Kushina opened her eyes and adjusted from the bright light that assaulted her. She looked around, seeing that she was in a white hospital bed, the room itself was fairly empty, except for the sleeping beauty in the bed besides her. She giggled as she saw her husband's peaceful face. It was something she hadn't seen in such a long time due to the stress and their planning and everything. Honestly, she was a bit jealous on how Naruto looked like-

Naruto.

Her son.

Where the hell was he!?

She frantically looked around and didn't see him, just more white and a single desk and chair. With a bit of difficulty, she pushed herself off her bed and made her way out of the room. It looked like it was early morning as he sun was just raising.

The nurses there were telling her to go back inside, but she simply pushed them aside. Others were afraid of her and others looked at her in shock, but she didn't notice and kept looking in every room.

"Kushina! What are you doing awake?" she heard a familiar voice and somehow relaxed.

"Lily? I'm looking for my son. Where is he?" she asked, panic could be heard in her voice as she walked up to her fellow red head and her husband. Her husband-James she believed he was called-held the black haired boy she knew as Lily's son.

"He's alright. I was actually on my way to get him. Right over here." she pointed to a nearby door.

She understood the red head's distress. She'd want her Harry to be near her too, especially after such an ordeal.

Kushina picked up her sleeping son, as she sighed in relief. Her son, her husband, her family was alright. They had escaped Konoha, entered a strange land, apparently saved people and they were alright. She softly kissed his forehead and then turned her attention to the couple.

"Thank you for looking after my family." she said, giving them a slight bow.

"We're the ones that should be thanking you. If there is anything we can help you with, anything at all, just ask." James smiled, kissing Harry, and getting a happy giggle from his son.

He would have missed this, his son, Lily if they hadn't come. Besides, the Potters came from an old family. Money and resources weren't a problem.

"Well, we're sort of new in this world, so I hope you don't mind if we rely on the two of you." she grimaced as she shifted her son as they left the room.

"Speaking of, that was something I wanted to ask you in more detail about that. I only got a bit from your husband. We can talk later of course. You really need to rest. You're in pretty bad shape." Lily reprimanded her, getting a pout from the red-hair kuinoichi. She hated hospitals, always have.

"How long was I out?" she asked.

"A day, which is surprising for some one in your condition. Your husband though never woke up yet, but he's healing pretty fast too." Lily explained to her.

"Minato never slept for the past month, so its normal. We were really paranoid, especially him. He wanted to keep us-"

Suddenly, she heard screaming and saw at the entrance of the hospital, men in black cloaks and white masks were hitting people with the stick thingy she saw the evil man have before. They were being led by what looked like a crazy lady, who was manically laughing as she threw around green lights. Her eyes settled on Kushina and she gained a bloodthirsty grin.

"You! You're the filth that harmed my master. I'll enjoy hearing you scream!" she laughed and then threw a Crucio curse at the red head, who had dodged it.

"Get out of her, the both of you. I'll hold them off." James said, giving his son to Lily and then firing spells at the Death Eaters.

"Lets go Kushina." Lily yelled at her, but they were cut off by a couple of other Death Eaters.

It seemed they didn't want Kushina escaping, but dead. Snarling, the kunoichi whipped out a kunai that was sealed in her arm and killed three of her attackers. She could feel her energy draining, but she had to keep her son and new friend safe.

"This way!" she yelled to the green eyed woman, who was looking at her in shock, which she couldn't help but comment on.

"Its just, killing isn't something normally done here, that's all." was what she was told.

Huh, she though, what a weird world.

Of course, they were once again cut off and Kushina was getting really irritated. She even tried calling out to Kuruma, but for some reason that damn fox wasn't responding. He must be recharging. He did use a lot of chakra.

They had finally reached Minato's room-which was hers as well- and quickly bit her finger and drew up a seal that lit up the room, showing it had extended.

"That should keep them outside and us safe." she nodded and then looked at the red-head who sat in the empty chair in the room. "How are you holding up?"

"I should be asking you that question." Lily said, giving her a playful scowl which she just grinned at.

"Minato and I are use to it. We've had to be on our toes almost all our life."

Kushina placed Naruto on her bed and then climbed in after. She smiled as she looked at his sleeping form. Naruto had no idea of any of the chaos that was going around.

"Do you mind telling me about your world?" Kushina asked, looking at Lily, who smiled and began giving her a basic run down. She had to know as much as she could since Minato was totally out of it and so was she.

xxxxxxx

James and Sirius, who had joined in later on, had finally finished dealing with the death eaters. A lot of them managed to get away, but at least the hospital was secure now. James didn't know what it was, but Sirius had said that he needed to tell both him and Lily something shocking he had found out back at Godric Hallow. He didn't really know what to think of it since he had moved his family back to Potter Manor.

They had finally reached the room where the two newcomers were placed and could feel their magical signatures inside. Sirius turned the door knob but found it locked.

"Lily! Its James and Sirius, can you open the door?" he called out. He heard shuffling, but the door remained closed.

"What did I tell you James during our Fifth year when you asked me out two days before I broke my friendship with you know?" she asked aggressively, getting raised eyebrows from both.

"That you'd rather date a bug." James replied depressed, getting a laugh from his friend. The door opened, showing a relieved Lily and he could hear he other woman-Kushina was it?-laughing in the background.

"Good. Is everything alright?" she asked, kissing him and he smiled.

"Yeah. Some escaped others captured...or dead." he winced a bit.

Sirius walked inside behind him and spotted the newcomers. The blonde man was still asleep, which he couldn't blame him after he read their medical reports. He was surprised that the woman was awake, but her son seemed to be asleep.

She was playing with Harry, and he couldn't blame the kid for feeling comfortable with her. She and Lily both were red heads. That and he wanted to thank her ever since he learned that she defeated Voldemort.

"Hey, we never really met. I'm Sirius Black and thank you for saving my friends and godson. I wouldn't have known what to do if they were gone." he bowed to her, getting a grin and a wave.

"Nah, it was nothing really. More like luck. My name is Kushina Namikaze. Mr. Sleeping Beauty over there is my husband Minato and this is our son Naruto." and then she grinned, "So Lily would rather date a bug huh? Now that's a story I've got to hear." making him crack up. He had a feeling they were going to get along just fine.

"So Sirius, what did you have to tell us?" Lily asked, coming to the two, with James right behind her. Harry, having seen his dad, stuck out his hands, wanting to be carried and James grinned. Sirius turned serious.

"I had just met with Hagrid, you remember right? Well, he kept babbling about things as usual butt hen he said something that got me thinking, yeah know." he began.

"What did he say?" James asked.

"Apparently Dumbledore had told him to go pick Harry up from Godric Hallow, as the two of you would be dead, and had intended to drop him off at Petunia's place."

"WHAT?!" Lily screamed murderous and James looked no better.

"Yeah, so its got me thinking about the guy and you won't believe what I found at Godric Hallow. I asked the goblins to check and there were monitoring spells and listening spells all tuned into Dumbledore's magic. The minute Voldemort had actually gotten a mile within range, he knew." he exclaimed.

"He set us up." James whispered, though the shock and betrayal on his face was evident.

"Yeah. Don't know how he got to Godric Hallow so fast, but the man really is messed up." he shook his head. Kushina, who was quietly listening couldn't help but blurt out,

"That guy is fucked in the head." and they looked at her and she shrugged. "What, you guys obviously trusted him and he stabbed you in the back. Trust me, I know all about that stuff." she winced at the memory. They must have seen.

"What exactly happened to you two by the way." James asked.

Kushina launched in her tale of how she and Minato had overheard some of their most trusted friends and teachers-as well as a man Minato saw as a father-wanting to kill them and use their son as some weapon. She had to explain about the Kyuubi, not wanting to seem like she was hiding anything, and they seemed to be okay with it. Lily placed a comforting hand on her new friend, because that was what her fellow red head was.

"You'll be staying with us of course for as long as it takes for you to recover and settle in. This chakra thing sounds fascinating thought." she said.

"You guys seem to be using it just find thought. I think its just called different." she grinned

"Just for power-" whatever he was going to say, was cut off when the door blasted open and a number of Death Eaters had stormed into the room-the crazy lady too.

Kushina immediately put up a barrier with her chakra chains, and just in time before a Killing curse had hit Sirius. This seemed to make them stop in their tracks, as nothing was ever known to stop the Killing curse and Sirius had witness first hand what his friends had seen.

"Hey!" Kushina snarled. "We're trying to have a peaceful conversation here, so take yourselves and your weird sticks somewhere else!" Sirius and James snicker and Lily slapped her palm on her forehead-she should have known

"We're going to kill you filth!" Bellatrix yelled as they all attacked the chain barrier.

The ones inside the barrier could hear more Death Eaters down below. The attacks were useless, but Kushina hadn't fully recovered and her chains used actually chakra, chakra she was really low on, so the attacks were wearing thin. The crazy lady, as she dubbed it, had hit the barrier one more time and her chains disappeared.

"Finally!" she grinned and the two aurors were on the defensive.

Before anyone of them could raise their wands, flashes of yellow filled the room and the sound of bodies dropping were followed as the light left the room and multiple yells were heard throughout the hospital. The light returned besides a grinning Kushina.

"Sleeping Beauty has awoken to save his damsel in distress." she grinned as she leaned in for a kiss, which was happily returned.

"I don't think that's how the story goes Kushi-chan." he smiled as he pulled back and looked towards the other. Both he and Kushina snickered at their shocked expressions.

"T-T-That was you!?" Sirius exclaimed, jumping and knocking down his chair.

"Yes. Don't worry, I've simply knocked them out. as well as the ones downstairs." he smirked.

"H-How..." was all James could say. Minato was going to reply, but clenched his head in pain and tightened his grip on his red-haired wife.

"Mina-kun?" Kushina asked in worry and he gave her a reassuring smiling.

"I'm alright. I woke up and moved too fast all at he same time." he said.

"That's the second time-no third time you've both saved us. I think we'll have to start noting them down soon." Lily giggled and the rest chuckled along.

Harry clapped his hands and laughed along-as if he understood what was going on. Naruto slept peacefully unaware of the danger that was around him.

"I've been meaning to ask, but why was that man trying to kill your son?" Minato asked, after making himself comfortable.

"I've been wondering the same thing." Kushina muttered. The Potter couple exchanged looks and then Lily smiled.

"Apparently there's this prophecy about our son defeating the Dark Lord-the man who wanted to kill him. He believed that the prophecy would be null if he killed Harry." she answered and looked confused at the disbelief looks she was getting from the two newcomers.

"A prophecy? And let me guess it was that old man from before that told you?" Minato asked and she nodded, making him start cussing up a storm.

"Whats wrong?" Lily asked, confused.

"They believed there was a prophecy about our son too-or they though it would be him. Its why they wanted to turn him into a weapon. The one leading the entire thing was the villager leader and he too is an old man." Kushina explained.

Silence.

"Man, what the hell is wrong with the elderly?" Sirius broke the silence, making the other four burst into laughter.

"They all believe they know whats best." Minato said, wincing a bit.

"Alright back to bed. You need to rest." Lily said, to the blonde, "We all need some rest."

She helped fix the two foreigner's bed and helped them feel comfortable. She then ushered the two man-children as she like to call them out, with Harry in James' arms, before she followed suit.

"If there's anything you need please don't hesitate to ask. We'll be in the next room." she told them and thanking them again she left.

Kushina and Minato shared a look and smiled as they held to one another and their son. They made it. They were safe and they were able to be apart of their son's life and that was all that matter to them.
