Two month's had passed and still Kushina and Neji were no where to be seen, it made everyone worry but the Hamato clan had to take care of Jasmine and Ali since there was Minato and Ali was pregnant at the moment so it made sense for them to stay instead of leaving, Naruto did offer them to live on the Uzumaki clan land since Jasmine did enjoy living there plus Hinata and Naruto believed she would prefer being there then anything, they agreed and got to moving while no one brought up Naomi or Scarlet or what happened to them… which didn't matter to any of them right now really.

"This was the room where Jasmine slept while she lived with us" Hinata explained making Leonardo nod as he carried Jasmine who held Minato in her arms, she ended up falling asleep and he couldn't be happier since he so badly wanted her to rest a bit, there was so much happening and they all really needed to rest and plan out there next step to rescue Kushina from Karai and whatever she has planned for the baby, Ali tried to talk to Jasmine but the girl simply kept quiet and away from everyone except Leonardo… it worried them so much that she was pulling away from them all but him and they truly wanted to try and help her.

But it wasn't going to be easy…

Klunk was also there with them, the sweet kitten followed her owner the whole way and never left Jasmine's side even now, there was also Minato who while he had no idea of what was going on at the moment… he felt something was wrong connected to his sister, because of this, it became slightly hard for them to put him to sleep or feed him, there was also Jasmine who they needed to care for… she wasn't as difficult as Minato but it was slightly hard to have her take care of herself when she doesn't even know how her daughter is doing or where she is at the moment "Jasmine? How are you feeling right now?" Leonardo asked as he walked into her room.

Of course she didn't answer, the girl has stopped speaking since Kushina was taken from them… he was certain that she would speak again only when both of there children were in her arms and not apart from one another, he knew this would take some time but there was no way he would simply give up on there daughter "Will find her my love… I promise you we will get Kushina back from Karai before she tries anything" he swore as Jasmine slowly looked over to her lover… and smiled for the first time since Kushina had been taken from them, he still had to figure out where Karai might be going and what she would do to Kushina… this was his daughter that she took and he wasn't going to let that slide by without her suffering for her actions on his family.

His brother's were all helping, Donatello sadly had to stay with Ali to keep her safe, but Michelangelo was going out often during the day to get answers from people to figure out where Karai might have gone, while Raphael went out at night to try and locate her and force her to surrender Kushina back to them while pleading for her life to be sparred… like they would allow that to happen after what she did, Leonardo didn't want to let her live after everything she did to them with the fact they lost there father and she would dare blame them for the lost of her own father… she should have died along with him in the end "Any luck finding my daughter?" he asked as he walked into the main room where his brother's were at the moment.

They had to keep there hopes up… for Jasmine's sake…

It had been a week later that something happened, Jasmine's father Neji had at last returned home, it was a bit of a surprise to everyone when it was revealed that he chased after Karai until she arrived at her destination… and returned home with Kushina in his arms, the little girl was sleeping but it turns out that Karai ended up leaving the baby alone in a room because she wouldn't stop crying which was more then likely because she sensed her mother and father weren't close by, so Neji used that chance to take her back home while Karai does her own thing without knowing at the moment of his actions.

It took a few days though for Neji to recover and to have Kushina examined before Sakura and Sasuke came with the little girl and brought her back to her parents, once Kushina was in Jasmine's arms, the family of four kept away from everyone for a few days… it was believed to be so they can bond once again and feel safe together but no one could be certain about that for the moment so instead they left them be and simply brought them food, water and other things they might need or by some luck had requested at some point during the day, it was only after seven days of being locked away that they at last came out for everyone to see again.

And Jasmine was smiling and talking again…

This was good for all of them, it took a while but then the Hamato clan decided to live close to the Uzumaki clan "You have been so nice and kind to Jasmine… I don't think being away from you would be nice to her" Leonardo explained making the couple accept and begin to have a home for them built… while they wait, they were allowed to live with them, this gave Jasmine the chance to be with the people she loves and train once more without being told not to and how it was wrong… now that she decided to stand up for herself including the fact that the Uzumaki clan, Uchiha clan and the Inuzuka clan have decided to work with them… she has yet to hear from her parents.

Not that she wants to hear from them…

Time went on and slowly Ali and Donatello decided to go to the Inuzuka clan, since Ali was the only child and she had wanted to take over, Donatello decided to go with her to take over "Next time you see me… I will be Donatello Inuzuka" he said making his brother's and Jasmine bid them goodbye for now, they did promise to send letters about how things were going and when they will visit but for now, he needed to adjust to his new lifestyle, Ali also promised to write whenever she could about how Donatello was doing and that was that… it was only three brother's with Jasmine now, of course it was uncertain if Michelangelo and Raphael would be staying with them but Jasmine could hope they would.

It took about a year and a half to complete the Hamato clan home, but by then the family was living inside with smiles on there faces, Michelangelo was starting up a garden so they have fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers, Raphael had gone to the village to take a look around for some work… ending up in construction which he ended up enjoying since he could fix things around there home when needed, Jasmine was around the twins often as she watched Leonardo being trained by her sensei's or sparring with the Uzumaki couple… Leonardo decided that he wanted to spread the fighting style of the Hamato clan so he opened a dojo to do so.

Jasmine was proud of him…

Just as promised Ali sent a letter when she could… which wasn't often but she tried her best to inform them of how things were going for Donatello adjusting to his new life… but things didn't go well for them, in the end a month after the Hamato clan settled into there new home, Donatello sent a letter… informing them that Ali sadly lost there baby, for now they would wait and then try again at a later time… simply not now, Jasmine asked if they wanted the Hamato clan to come and visit but Donatello said that they were fine on there own but thank you for the offer, his brother's were sad to the bad news but they were certain that things would get better for them.

They were certain of it… after all… it was Donatello they were talking about…

A year slowly passed and the Hamato clan slowly began to be spoken about by people living close by and by travelers… Jasmine was certain that it was a blessing for them, even so things were going well for them at the moment… better then she could have ever hoped really, Raphael was doing great at work, Michelangelo was selling his produce when there was extra that they didn't need and Leonardo was getting more students for the dojo making him need to hire help to take on all the students… or sadly need to send away a good chunk of them until some graduate at the dojo to let in more students after that.

Kushina and Minato were doing great too, Jasmine's parents don't visit or send her letters… but she could tell they were reaching out to her through the gifts they send her to help out with something at there home, she of course doesn't send them a letter to thank them since she sadly wasn't ready to talk to them… but she knew she would be ready for that one day soon, Leonardo thought that himself "They know they made a mistake with your life… right now there trying to help heal there mistake and while it's hard on you they know not to push you to reach out to them in a response to there actions… take all the time you need before responding to them" he had said to her and with that she agreed and simply gave herself the time to think it over.

And it wouldn't be long before she would need to actually respond… and the reason is from a snake named Karai…

It turns out she had known all along that Neji had followed her to take back Kushina, so Karai decided to wait before she attacked when they least expected it… by attacking the Hyuga couple, then kill Jasmine and lastly take both of the twins to raise them as her own instead… the problem in all of that was she didn't expect to find the Inuzuka clan there with them… or that damn dog barking at her location either… in the end she failed to do anything that was connected to her plan… but at least she slashed the katana blade she dipped in poison at Neji Hyuga… he would only have until morning in three days before he dies from the poison without an antidote… which she had of course making her laugh as she escaped them and hid after she left them the note about her having the antidote and being willing to make a trade of it for Leonardo.

When Jasmine found out about her father being poisoned, she with Leonardo and the twins rushed to see him… she didn't want to loose him, she had wanted to be able to fix things between them at last and now… she was going to loose him forever, when the note was found Leonardo asked Jasmine to remind the twins about him when Raphael and Michelangelo return with the antidote… but Neji refused "I will not allow you to ruin my daughter's happiness with such a selfish act" Neji explained as Jasmine cried, she simply couldn't loose her father… but this was beyond anything they could do right now.

And so… they waited for the day Neji Hyuga breathes his last breath…

Jasmine didn't want to loose her father… she simply couldn't take it, so she left and began trying to find Karai to get the antidote from her… but Splinter stopped her "I know of the poison she used… Michelangelo without knowing is growing the very flower you need to save his life" he explained making her nod and rush back to her home to make the antidote as Splinter tells her to make it, by the time she was finished, the sun was beginning to set making her quickly rush back with the antidote… which the next day saved her father's life… much to Karai's anger when she saw him moving around like he was never poisoned to begin with.

She would need to prepare another plan then…

This cost her two years of planning, two years for Jasmine to marry into the Hamato family, two years for her to fix the problem between her parents and her, two years for Donatello to marry into the Inuzuka family and two years for the two girls to get pregnant once more with a child each… she was furious at all of this, in fact she had hoped things would have been easy but it turns out that during those two years, Leonardo has been able to train many young students in the Hamato clan fighting style… and warning them of Karai and what she might do to them if she ever saw one of them.

Either way she wasn't going to win even if she tried… so she would need to simply change things up right?

Nine months had passed, Jasmine was ready to give birth, Ali had given birth already to her son… a sweet turtle boy named Takashi and she couldn't be anymore proud then she was at the moment about him, Ali and Donatello had promise to visit them after Jasmine had given birth and had time to rest, Leonardo swore he would make sure she rested enough before there visit… but he couldn't help but worry that something was going to happen to them soon "I know your worried my love… but please try and focus on the fact we will bring forth a new member of the Hamato clan to the world of the living" Jasmine had said making him nod as he helped her to sit up slowly, he knew it was hard on her at the moment and he couldn't help but worry that things might get worse when she gives birth… so he had to make sure that everything was ready for their newborn child.

Then… two days later… her water broke… it was time to give birth to there third child, Raphael got everything that they needed, Michelangelo was ready to hold the baby while Leonardo held Jasmine's hand as she pushed, Raphael sensed something watching them and slowly moved to get ready to fight… and then he heard it… people fighting? Outside there home? He slowly walked out and found the Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, the Inuzuka clan and the many students of the Hamato dojo fighting Karai and the few followers she had left at the moment… he couldn't help but grin at the fact that she was going to lose soon enough.

And then as she was captured with her men… the sound of a newborn baby crying was heard…

They named there son Toshi… it was cute and simple, Leonardo held there son in his arms as Jasmine slept, Kushina and Minato came in slowly to meet there little brother… both of them fascinated by the baby boy in his arms "You must protect your little brother you two… he is very small and needs to depend on us all until he's old enough to take care of himself" he explained making the two nod as they then ran out to find something to do together, Leonardo smiled at this, life was amazing to him right now… sure his father wasn't there to see his grandchildren but he was there in spirit to him so that was something at least right?

Yeah… it was…

Two years have passed since Toshi was born, Karai was punished for her crimes… with death, Raphael ended up marrying a woman he met while he was working, Michelangelo ended up becoming popular with the ladies but is still looking for the right girl, Ali, Donatello and Takashi were expecting another member for there family… leaving him and Jasmine happy together, Minato was already training under his father while Kushina was training under her mother's sensei's the Uchiha's… they couldn't be anymore proud of there lives then this… and they were expecting even better things to happen to them soon…
