Chapter 38: The last trick of the Fox
The nurses vainly try to keep quiet the group which is agitating in the hospital waiting room. Between Neji who walks in circle while carrying a crying Alia, Naruto who badgers the doctors to know what happen, Sasuke who chokes of jealousy in a corner because Naruto worry too much for Hinata, and Jiraya who tries to calm Naruto... it's too much agitation for a hospital hall. Suddenly, all the glances turn to the door where Tsunade has appeared. Her smiling face reassures everyone, except Jiraya who knows her well. She has the smile of somebody who's preparing a bad joke. Before Naruto, Neji asks: "How is Hinata?"
Tsunade: "Very well, very well, She's awake now. You can see her. Alia too. Go see your Mom "
Both runs in the room. The mocker smile of Tsunade widens more... Until a furious shout "BLOODY SHIT OF FOX!!!" spouts out of the room.
Jiraya: "What happen?"
Tsunade: "The Fox isn't anymore complete in Naruto's body. He transferred inside the part of the seal established in Hinata's belly when she was in contact with Naruto. He established himself in uterus wall... in the shape of a human baby."
Jiraya: "WHAT??! It's a joke!?"
Naruto: "Hm... I doesn't understand well."
Sasuke: "If I understands, Hinata will have a second baby, who will be the Fox himself?"
Tsunade: "Yes and Non. But it's not completly the Fox. The spirit of a demon Fox is too vast for a simple human envelope, the baby is just a part of Kyubi. The remainder is staying inside the shelter of the seal "
Tsunade throws an eye inside the room. Hinata has taken her husband and her daughter on her knees, all the three are smiling and speaking gently about the future.
Alia: "Then, I'll have a little brother? "
Neji: "Yes, my treasure. But as for you, Iwon't be his true father "
Alia: "But you'll be his Dad nevertheless ,won't it? You will care well of him."
Hinata: "And we also counts on you to be a nice older sister, Alia."
Alia: "Right! But... I have a question. It's when Kyubi said that he was my father, and not Dad, because I had tails of Fox."
Hinata realizes at this time that she forgot to re-seal Alia's Fox, quite visible and who are agitating merrily behind her. But Neji makes a reassuring smile to her. The others Ninjas didn't react when they saw the four tails of Alia. Everyone was so relieved to learn that Kyubi was again sealed to ask questions. The questions will come later, and the truth will have to be said... or at least, a part of the true.
Alia continue to expose her problem seriously, whereas her parents listen with indulgence.
Alia: "Alia has tails of Fox because she's the girl of Kyubi. She's not completely the girl of Dad... then I wonder... A Dad and a Mom, How do they make to have a baby together?"
Great silence.
Then Neji murmurs between his teeth: "There, she's got us. I didn't think that she asks thsi question so early! And after all that happende, I don't think that she'll believe that the babies are delivered by the storks... "
Hinata: "Or that we find the little boys in cabbages... You have an idea?"
Neji: "No. Tell her, She's your daughter."
Hinata: "She's your daughter too."
Neji: "Between women, you will better understand."
Alia looks with perplexed eye her two parents. But there isn't any choice. They will have to explain her how to do babies.
The evening, Hinata leaves the hospital. In order to cut all the rumours, she has prepared carefully the official reason of the present events, of Alia's Fox tails, and of her future second child: "To put an end to danger of Kyubi, we undertook a secret experiment. Its goal was to gradually transmit the mental energy of the Fox in children to be born. As a specialist in the seals, I voluntary tried the experiment with my first child, Alia. Because of our success, we wanted to do it again with my second child and to transferer inside him the Fox heart, but the Fox fought back, which caused all this commotion. The problem is now definitively regulated. "
Applause and vivas come to punctuate the speech of the chief of Hyuga clan. Naturally, with some rare exceptions, everyone implies that Hinata's children are also Neji's . The shinobis can now disperse and go celebrate the victory over the Fox.
Neji, Hinata and Alia go home in peace. Naruto and Sasuke go to eat a bowl of ramen, and Tsunade go to drink with Jiraya, leaving to her chunins the care to fill all the paperworks.
In the belly of Hinata, a small fox with nine tail begins his life of human.
