Two hours had passed since Naruto and Lyon had left to do their training and Ur had been enjoying every second with her daughter.

Even now she found the whole situation surreal. Ultear was back, her baby girl came back. At first when the two had left to train, she didn't know what to do with Ultear, she wasn't ready for such a welcome change.

So she just went with the flow, first she took her to her old room to change clothes and test if her old ones still fit. Only the ones that used to be large suited her now, so they would have to go shopping for that later on, which brought on the topic of her upcoming birthday and other girly things.

Right now we find the mother and daughter pair in the kitchen preparing lunch. Today in commemoration for Ultear's return, she was making a special stew with the deer meat that the Naruto clone had hunted that morning, Ultear was helping her in settling the plates and gathering the ingredients.

''Ne ne mommy, you think mister bunny will like carrots?'' asked Ultear while passing the carrots to her mother.

Ur giggled at the name, it was somehow fitting.

''Mister bunny huh? I think he will… Say… What do you think of him?'' she asked while fidgeting slightly, placing the meat inside of a large oval pot and taking the carrots from Ultear to start chopping them.

''Ultear likes mister bunny, Ultear thinks that he is nice and warm, is he my papa?'' She asked with childish curiosity.

Ur's heart skipped a beat at her question, almost chopping her fingers off. Her cheeks heating up and turning a new shade of scarlet as some pure and some not-so-pure images of her and him came into her mind.

Stuttering a bit, Ur placed the knife on the balcony and turned around to Ultear who was now looking at her with puppy eyes and a hopeful expression, and she honestly didn't know if she should answer it. Her real father had left her because he couldn't take the responsibility of a child, so he found it easier to just run away.

Naruto was a good man-ish, he cared for her and he went out of his way to bring back her precious daughter. Just that already meant the world to her. She couldn't say she didn't have feelings for him, he was special, and not because of his power. He cared for her and Lyon more in the few days that he was there, than what her ex-husband had in all the time they had, even his presence had a calming effect.

She couldn't even stay angry at him for that wretched overpowered butt-poke. Ever since he had left, she had been living like a nun and isolated herself from those types of pleasures, then comes a whiskered alien being and pokes her in the butt leaving her with a warm feeling that no cold water or ice-magic would take away. So she couldn't say that she didn't have feelings for him, if she did then she would only be fooling herself, she wasn't no teenager anymore, she knew what she wanted and knew that if she didn't get it, then someone else would, that she had no doubt.

Coming back into reality, she stared at Ultear's big brown eyes in thought once more before taking a deep breath and making a decision that would forever change her and Ultear's lives.

''Yes he is.'' There, she had said it. Three simple words that could probably change everything between them, for the better or worse? She did not know.

Those three words made the little girl squeal in happiness and jump in joy. An action that made Ur smile while her heart clenched, she felt bad in subjecting him to that responsibility without telling him first, but Ultear needed a father figure and he was the best person for that, it would devastate her if she knew that her father had abandoned her them because of the responsibility.

She cursed herself internally for not being capable of telling her the truth, she didn't have it in her to tell that to the sweet child in front of her the truth, at least not now, she would eventually learn the truth, but not now, so much was going on in her life and she was just a child no older than five. All that Ur could do was hope that her decision went for the best and that he wouldn't hate her or worse.

''I have a papa… I have a papa… Yay! Mister bunny is my papa!'' Ultear said excitedly while pumping her small arms up, a few tears building up in the corner of her eyes.

''Of course sweetheart, now help me make lunch, let's give it our best and make something great for papa and Lyon.'' The word still felt foreign for her to say it aloud, but if that was all that she needed to do, then it was worth it, if Ultear was happy then she was as well, not that she didn't want it to happen, on the contrary, the thought of having him as more than just a friend was becoming more and more frequent by each minute to the point that she couldn't help but envision the two of them together as a family.

Ultear nodded enthusiastically while slightly jumping from her spot while her mother patted her head and said ''Good girl, now help mamma get the potatoes. Papa will be coming soon and we must have everything ready right?''

The little girl nodded giving an excited ''Hai mamma!'' and went to get the potatoes that were nearby.

Ur watched her go with a small smile on her face.

(With Naruto and Lyon)

''This is enough Lyon, you've done well for your first day.'' Spoke Naruto while kneeling in front of Lyon, who had just collapsed from exhaustion. It was a difficult training session for the boy, his training with Ur so far had only consisted of getting in tune with the ice element, and practicing creating small structures.

Lyon had a strong will, Naruto would give him that, but it worried him the reason as to why he wanted power.

The style that he was teaching him was one that he had created to teach in the academy's students that were more suited for the offensive. Of all the styles that they had tested, it was the most fitting for his nature and his build. It was only his first day, so he didn't expect the boy to learn it all, but he was quick in memorizing the positions. Give a few more years and he would have it all down, he was young, time was at his side.

At first Lyon didn't like the idea of learning how to fight without magic, but he managed to get his point across by showing what he would do if he found a person who could nullify magic, or that was specialized in getting close and personal taking the fight to close range. A backup plan is always a must, and relying on only one set of skills was the way to an early death.

It was the difference between cannon fodders and legends. They say that a master of one art is better than a novice in a thousand arts, very true. However if you want to reach the level of people like Madara, Hashirama and the other legends of his world then you have to give it your best to master as many arts as possible. Madara and Hashirama were chakra beasts, yet the former proved that all he needed was his fists and legs to decimate an entire army, and the latter was even stronger than him.

He didn't mean that the boy had to go to Orochimaru and learn everything possible, but learning new styles and lowering the overall weaknesses that he had, that was something that he would have to do if he really wanted to reach Ur and himself.

Lyon seemed to be obsessed with surpassing the two, he saw both of them as the strongest beings alive and made it his life's goal to surpass them, nothing can be done about it though, the type of thing that he would have to let life teach him, hopefully.

Coating his right hand with a thin layer of yang chakra, he placed it on Lyon's shoulders to help lessen the stress in his muscles. It wasn't that bad, but he didn't want the boy crying the next day about how his arms hurt, besides, it was his first day and he didn't want to scare the boy before they started doing exercises.

''Ne Naruto, do you think master will be happy now that Ultear is back?'' asked Lyon with a thoughtful look, wanting to break the silence between the two.

Naruto hummed in thought for a few seconds before moving his hand from his shoulders to his arms, his expression softening a bit. Despite his desire to surpass her, he still cared greatly for her, ''I hope so Lyon, but her happiness doesn't only depend on Ultear. It also depends on you too, she cares a lot for you, so don't make things too difficult for her, and be nice to Ultear also, she is your little sister from now on, and she will need you.''

''Little… sister…?'' Lyon repeated under his breath, his eyes wide as he thought about it.

''Yeah, she is your little sister. Ur says that you are just her pupils, but I can see in her eyes that to her you mean much more than that. Ultear is your little sister, so be nice to her. Even if you two don't have the same blood, you two are family now and family look out for each other.'' He finished while getting up and extending his hand to the boy.

Lyon didn't respond at first, but Naruto knew he had listened to him. After a few seconds of gazing at the outstretched hand, he grasped onto it and lifted himself from the snow.

''There you go, now let's get going before the food gets cold.''

The white haired boy nodded, though he was unsure on how he knew that the food would be ready, but just filed it away as one of his quirks and ignored it, were he worry about every strange thing the seemingly 'blind' man did, then he would grow old fast and not surpass his masters.

And thus the pair returned to Ur's house, a slightly disappointed look on Lyon's face for not learning the technique that had defeated his master. Naruto had been adamant that learning or trying to learn that move would be bad for his health, the technique was to be used only when he turned 18.

Then his mind trailed off to having a sister, Ultear his sister? Ur thinking of him like her son, them being a family? He had always thought of Ur as his master that he should overcome, the strongest mage in the world. Naruto wasn't on the list of the strongest mages because he wasn't a mage or human. But something remained, if Ur was like his mother… and Ultear his sister… then Naruto was what? His father or uncle…?

His trail of thought didn't progress any further than that and he soon began to think of ways to surpass the two, for a seven year old boy he had a pretty dense head and a one-track mind, though aren't most kids like that?

As the duo neared Ur's house, they found the mother and daughter pair waiting in the front, Ur using an apron above her casual clothes and Ultear using a red pink dress with white dots covering it.

Spotting the two males, Ultear ran towards Naruto and Lyon and tackled the former in a hug, an action that quite surprised Naruto but he nonetheless accepted it and picked her up.

''Daddy! Is daddy hungry? Me and mommy work hard to make lunch!'' She exclaimed excitedly while bouncing on his arms.

Naruto's eyes widened slightly as she called him daddy but he still kept his composure. Glancing between Ur and Ultear, he took note of Ur's pleading look and made his own connection of what could have happened while he was away.

She didn't need to voice things out for him to know what happened, the combinations of factors in him made him perfect for deducing things. While the Nara's mind was perfect for using intel that they gathered and making battle plans, the combination of his eyes, life experience plus his permanently activated sage mode made it that much easier to know and understand people and situations.

Deciding to leave it be and go along with it, Naruto adjusted his hold on her so that she didn't fall, and kissed her on the forehead, ''Is that so? So you helped your mom?''

Ultear nodded happily and quipped ''Mhmm, me help mommy!''

''Good girl, I hope we didn't leave you two waiting for too long right?'' he asked while walking towards Ur, Lyon already next to her.

Ur shook her head in a 'no' and gestured for them to go in, ''Oh no, we had just finished making the stew when we went to check if you two were coming.''

''Mmk, I guess we are right in time then, that's great! I will check on how my clones are progressing with our other two guests and join right after so save me a plate.''

Stopping in front of her, he frowned at her nervousness. He didn't like to see her like that, she was one of his precious people and he always did everything that he was capable of doing to help those that he loved.

Ur saw his frown and misunderstood it for him being sad or angry at her telling Ultear that he was her father, which was not the case.

He was sad with her, but not because of her telling that to the child. He was disappointed that she would think that he would be mad or sad. Sure he would have preferred that she told him beforehand, but he understood her situation and the reason as to why. Time did wonders in maturing people, and his time as Hokage, father and grandfather helped him greatly in that.

Smooch.

Ur's eyes widened as his lips came in contact with her forehead, her cheeks gaining heat at the sign of affection, a simple gesture, yet one that held so much importance. He wasn't mad at her? Before she could question herself any further, he placed a giggling Ultear on the ground in front of her and went towards their room where his clones were treating the other two guests.

(In another room)

In a nicely lit room Naruto gazed down at the sleeping form of the two children with a neutral look on his face. He was currently floating cross-legged between both them while going through the memories of the clones that he had left behind to take care of them.

It was times like these that he was thankful for the Byakugan, it also made him wonder why more Hyugas didn't take the path of a medic nin before. Their eyes were perfect for the task, it was much easier to heal and cure a person when you could actually see the insides of that person.

Funny how aging worked, it always made him chuckle when he thought about his past. When he was younger he would yearn for powerful, shiny and devastating techniques, but now he knew better. Destroying was easy, taking a life only took an instant, a kunai to the heart and the person would soon cease breathing. Saving a life was much harder, curing people, connecting and creating bonds, restoring… those things took real effort. He understood why Hagoromo would become so mad at chakra being transformed into a weapon.

An energy that he hadtaught the world with so much care and dedication, a tool to help people bond with each other and understand themselves, turned into a weapon of murder and destruction, used for the very things that he sought to end.

For those reasons, for understanding the Sage and why he had spread chakra, he dedicated himself to learning the better ways that chakra could be used. Healing people and understanding the human body was only the tip of the iceberg of information and techniques that he had created, there were hundreds of other types of illnesses that were in the mind rather than in the body. Like one thing pulls out the other, he had once found himself in a quest for more knowledge, knowledge about everything. Whenever he thought about it, it made him similar to Orochimaru in that aspect, the goals were almost the same, just the methods that were different.

Thanks to that, he had become the being that he was now. Were it not for his clones and their very vast knowledge about the human bodies, then he was sure that those two kids would be dead now. The structure of the people of that dimension was different from those of his, but in the end, humans were humans. A living organism would always do its best to reject harmful invaders, the case of the two were no different.

Inside each of their bodies were a crystal sphere the size of his fist, each of the spheres charged with insane amounts of Ethernano, were he to scale it then it could be a rough equivalent to the three to four-tails. Their bodies were in a constant fight to expel the foreign energy that was slowly destroying it from the inside.

The crystals couldn't be removed. The act of simply removing it would kill them in the process, like a Jinchuuriki didn't survive their tailed beast getting extracted. The kids wouldn't survive if it were to be removed. It was a bad situation that the two had, if nothing was done and they continued like that then death would await them, if he removed it, death either way.

Bad situation indeed, the pain that the two had been experiencing was no joke. Without many options, his clones opted to drain a portion of the energy inside the crystals and disperse it slowly into the atmosphere, while using yang chakra to strengthen their bodies and help them adapt to the energy. At one point during the whole process the two had woken up from the pain, but were quickly placed in an illusion and sent into a dream world.

A version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, albeit a harmless one, worked the same way as the dreaded technique, only difference being that the Shinju wasn't out and wouldn't transform them into White Zetsu. Right now both of them were still stuck inside it. Unlike Ultear who was familiar with Ur, they weren't familiar with anyone, so he was using the illusion to calm them down and explaining their situation to them while their bodies rested.

By the next morning their bodies would be rested enough and he would wake them up. For now they should just rest and enjoy the dream. Dreaming a bit wouldn't bring them any harm.

Turning attention towards the door that gave access to the room, Naruto watched as it slowly opened up and Ur rushed inside while closing it behind her.

''Hey Ur, I was already going back for lunch… But that isn't why you are here now… right?'' He asked while making himself erect and facing her direction.

''Yes Naruto, it isn't…You are not mad?'' she asked with a quiet voice.

As a sensor he could feel the emotions rolling out of her, fear and anxiety being the most notable among them. It took a few seconds for him to realize what she was talking about, but he shook his head in a 'no' gesture when it dawned him, ''I don't see why I should be. I won't judge your decision, you did what you thought was for the best. There is nothing to worry about, there is only one thing that is bothering me, are YOU okay with this? I am fine with being her father, but if I am to be her father then that means that we…''

He left it 'hanging', there was no need to continue the phrase.

Understanding what he meant, her face turned several shades of crimson, ''I-I don't know… If it's you then… She asked me if you were her 'papa' and I just didn't know what to do, if I said 'no' then she would get curious about 'who is', I can't tell her that my ex-husband left me because he couldn't take the responsibility of having a daughter…and… I feel like you would be the right person for her to look up to… I guess I acted without thinking muc-''

She stopped talking when she felt a gloved finger press against her lips, ''You silly, silly girl. I would never be mad at you for something like that. As a matter of fact I am happy, why would I be mad at gaining such cute daughter and a gorgeous woman?''

He said playfully at the end, though Ur had no clue if he was really joking or not.

Leaning closer to her, removing his finger from her lips and cupping her chin, he leaned down slightly and made her look into his pale white eyes, which seeing them from so close made her realize that they resembled much like a pair of white pearls.

''You are beautiful, Ur. Don't think for half of a second that I will abandon you like he did. He was a fool that couldn't see what I can, these eyes see much more than you can imagine. I wasn't lying when I said that it was you that brought me here… From the dimensional rift it is possible for beings like me to see every soul around and you were the first that caught my attention. When I found you I could see the pain, the loneliness, the grief… but the most important thing that I saw was the kind soul of a woman that would do anything for those that they loved…''

Everything that he was saying was true, and his words were starting to make a deep effect on her as tears started to form on the corner of her eyes, tears that he gently brushed away with his thumb so that they wouldn't fall and dirty her pretty face.

Deciding to allow his ever rising feelings for her to take control of him, he pulled her closer to him and closed his eyes, allowing the 'magic' to happen. His lips meeting her's as if they were a perfect match, another half of the puzzle.

To Ur she started to float on cloud-nine the moment that his lips met hers, her mind nearly going blank as she allowed herself to give into his touch, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him even closer.

However much to her utter disappointment, the two were forced to separate due to the lack of oxygen, a thin trail of saliva connecting the two.

It took a few moments for her to fully realize what had happened, and by the time she did her heart nearly went haywire as a very fierce blush made itself known.

Adorable.

Was the predominant thought going on his mind as she started to color up.

Giving her another peck, this time in the center of her forehead, ''We better get going, the two must be getting impatient now.''

he chuckled while gently moving her from the front of the door as she nodded dumbly, trying and failing to fight the blush on her face.

On the other side Ultear and Lyon were seated at the table waiting for them, Lyon's attire changing to a different blue short and a black shirt, his hair glistening slightly with a few drops of water. Four bowls with a steaming hot stew of varying sizes on the table in front of each seat, Lyon sitting next to Ultear who was next to two vacant seats.

''Mommy? Is mommy okay? Mommy's face is like a tomato! Daddy, is mommy okay?'' asked Ultear, spotting the two while getting up from her spot and going towards the still blushing Ur.

Chuckling, Naruto patted the innocent girl on the head, ''She is okay, sweetheart. Ur-chan's just a bit flustered.''

''Flustered? What is Flustered?'' Ultear asked innocently while Ur crossed her arms with a 'huff' and looked away from the two.

''In her case, itt means she is happy, now c'mon let's eat.''

Ultear pouted and gave a childish glare towards Naruto for not telling her what it meant, then after three seconds she forgot about the whole ordeal and skipped towards the desk.

Naruto smiled at them, what an interesting new family that he now had.

(That night)

Night came quick for the residents of Ur's house. It was perhaps the first day in a long time that any of them ever had with a family and as a family.

The day passed between Lyon and Ultear playing around, Lyon showing her what he could make with his Ice-make, much to Ultear's amazement at the boy's skill. After lunch the two had kicked it off quite well, at first both were shy about becoming friends with each other, Ultear because she didn't know how to start and Lyon because he didn't know how to deal with a little sister.

It changed once Ultear came to Lyon with a fox plushie and asked to play with him. from there onwards they didn't leave each other's side throughout the entire day.

''Well he sure seems exhausted, what do you think?'' Naruto asked Ur, they were currently in their room tucking in Lyon, the boy had fell asleep along with Ultear while they were playing. Due to the lack of futons, they had moved the two genjutsu induced sleeping children to the same spare futon, Lyon on his own and Ultear on her room, only Ur's being left.

''It was an exciting day, Naruto. So many emotions and changes, even I'm tired.'' she said while crossing her arms and letting a 'sigh' escape her lips.

"Indeed it was, I'm happy with how it turned out.''

''Me too, it is still hard to believe that all of this happened, no words can express how grateful I am to what you have done… which brings me the question, now what? What do you plan on doing now?''

''Lots of things actually, finding their parents is a good start, then maybe spread my version of Ninshu to this world, not the energy itself, just the teachings.''

''Ninshu? You mean that thing that the sage from your world spread to help people connect with each other? You got any clues that could bring them to their parents?''

''Yes and yes'' Placing his right hand into his Kimono, he pulled out two envelopes, ''I found these two in the Bureau, it had their photos so I kept it with me, can't translate it all on my own so I brought it back in hopes that you could. My own version of it, the sage made a mistake when spreading chakra to humans and leaving them to themselves to figure it out. After researching with my own chakra, I found a way to spread it across people in a way that they can feel each other's emotions…''

Taking a pause, he brought his hand to his chin, ''To keep it simple, it is a mark that I give certain individuals that allow them to sense each other's emotions when necessary and bond with each other, kind of like one of those guild marks that you told me about, instead that the person doesn't really need to 'see' it to recognize each other, instead they will feel it whenever one is around or in danger''

Ur hummed in thought as she took in his words, what he explained was indeed similar to some guilds she knew.

''So what's in those folders? Hopefully it can bring us some light to who they are.'' Ur said trying to get back into the topic of the children, she would give more thought to whatever it was that he was planning on spreading across the world later.

''Oh, right. Was so deep into thought that I had forgotten about it… hehe… See for yourself and tell me.'' He said while scratching the back of his head and offering the files to her.

Resisting the urge to face-palm, Ur took the folders from his hands and opened the first. The picture of the boy inside of it was definitely the one that he had brought, albeit a younger and better nurtured version, ''Mitra Belenos… blood type A+… seven years old… son of Raizen Belenos and Usha Belenos…''

Scratching her chin and furrowing her brows, she thought of the possible places that she had seen that surname, she had heard it somewhere but couldn't remember from where.

Closing the folder with a loud 'snap' she opened up the second one, still mumbling the names 'Raizen Belenos' and 'Usha Belenos'. The second folder was similar to the first one, with a younger picture of the black-haired girl, '' Kali Belenos… blood type A+… six years old… daughter of Raizen Belenos and Usha Belenos… Rai-zen Be-le-nos… The duke!'' She exclaimed while snapping her fingers loudly, but quickly recovered her posture and blushed at the fact that she almost woke everyone up.

''Yeah Naruto, this is a registration form… I signed one for Ultear when I took her there. Good news is that I know who they are. Both are son of Raizen and Usha, Raizen was a famous mage of Fiore that worked for the king.''

''Was…?'' For some reason Naruto didn't like where she was getting at.

''Yes, he was. Rumors had it that his two sons had died of illness, it was all over the news in here, his wife had died during the childbirth of the youngest and he was left alone with them. Last I heard was that he fell into depression and isolated himself in his mansion.''

''I see… so it is settled then. By tomorrow morning they will have woken up and I will take them to Raizen.''

Ur looked down at the ground sadly, she didn't want him to go, but how could she ask him to stay? Not long ago she was almost in the same situation as that of Raizen, not knowing that her daughter was alive. As a parent that had gone through the same thing, she needed to let him go and do what he must.

''Fine… Just promise me one thing, Naruto.''

He didn't verbally answer her. There was no need for that, so instead he opted to just simply nod his head and motion for her to continue.

''Ultear's birthday is in two months, promise to come back by then. She just got a new family, Lyon, me and you, so please don't take that away from her... please don't leave her and please… don't leave ME…'' Her voice was shaky, her hands were trembling and tears were building up in the corner of her eyes.

Taking a few quick steps to her, Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him.

For a few seconds she didn't react, her mind shutting down the second his lips met hers. After a few seconds of rebooting, she gave in and allowed his tongue inside while she 'slipped' her own.

Their 'battle' went on for an indefinite period of time, at some point during the whole exchange Ur had lost the top of her shirt leaving her only with a black bra and her jeans while Naruto's kimono vanished in a flicker of chakra leaving him only in his black chakra pants.

Feeling her bare back press against the wall, Ur broke the kiss and gasped for air, apparently forgetting to breathe during their session. A large blush made its way towards her face as she noticed how both of them were and she soon found it hard to keep her eyes on his face, only now noticing how much was hidden underneath his robes, it should be a crime to hide such a body from the world.

''You like what you see?''

The sound of his voice against her earlobe brought her out of her daydreaming, her blush growing into dangerous levels as her mind registered what he said. Not trusting her voice she opted to just nod her head slowly.

''Heh, I also do…'' He whispered once again onto her ear before distancing a bit from her and brushing the stray strands of hair from her face, ''You shouldn't worry Ur-chan, I promise to give it my best to come back as soon as possible, don't make such a sad face, it doesn't suit someone as beautiful as you are.''

Drip

A single tear fell down her face, as she gave a bright smile, ''This is the second time that you make me cry today ya know? If you continue like this I might end up falling for you. You better take responsibility for making that you know.''

Reaching out to her, he brought her closer and once again locked his lips with her own.

'I will...'

No words were spoken, none were needed and none could pass on the feelings that he was transmitting with that one single kiss. Unlike the others, this one held much more emotions than the previous, it felt as if she were feeling his thoughts inside her chest.

Getting lost in the feeling of his touch and wanting nothing more than to bask in his aura and deepen the contact, she didn't notice her feet leave the ground or the cold wall being replaced with the smooth and comfortable surface of a bed.

Separating once more from themselves, Ur's eyes widened when she took notice of her surroundings, instead of the room that she used to share with Lyon and him, she was now in a large, simple, yet nicely organized room which had only a large king size bed with salmon pink sheets, two simple wooden bed drawers on either side and a large five door wardrobe on the other side of the wall. Moonlight was coming from a large open window on one side of the room.

However a few things caught her attention the moment that her eyes had laid on them, making her momentarily forget about the white haired alien beside her that was looking at the same objects with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

''I sure was a brat at that time.'' He said from behind her while circling her waist with his arms and pointing to one of the several pictures hanged on the wall with the words ''Team-Seven'' craved on the wooden frame, it was a picture of him, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke when they had just became genin. Next to the picture were others with the same blond haired boy on them along with all sorts of people, several of them she recognized from Ground Zero as the smaller statues mixed along with the various others that decorated the sanctuary.

''Who are they?'' She asked while taking a few steps towards the wall of which he mimicked along with her.

''They were my friends from my home land, the blond one with the goofy smile is me.'' He said, a certain tone of nostalgia in his voice.

Ur looked at the blonds in the photos and giggled a bit, in contrast to the wise alien, the boy seemed exactly like what he described from the stories that he had told her. However the more she looked at them, a small sense of sadness came upon her, all of them were people that he knew, and from what he had already said, he was the last. All of those people were dead, she already knew that almost if not all of his generation were dead, but seeing the photos of him with his friends only helped in living up the image of how much of good friends he had and how much it must have pained him to lose them all.

''You don't have to worry, Ur-chan. They lived their lives to the fullest and I cherish every moment I spent with them. I created this place to celebrate special occasions with them, away from the village and away from our duties, it is quite large but from the window we can have a nice overview.''

Ur nodded and the both then went towards the window, her eyes widening when she saw the outside.

From the window she could see that they were on the third floor of a large, yet modest, mansion. The place in itself was very natural and gave a peaceful feeling, from her position she could see a large natural pool with a decent waterfall, a semi closed area with steam coming out, and many more structures that gave a 'home' type of feeling.

But what shocked her was the sky, the sky was completely breathtaking, illuminated by stars and nebulas as well as three medium sized moons.

''You like it?'' He asked her while bringing her closer to his chest and leaning closer to the window's balcony, the feeling of his fingers on her skin sending a pleasant feeling up her spine while reminding her that both of them were semi-naked.

Dumbfounded, she only nodded her head while he chuckled and pecked her cheek.

''I'm glad you do. Just like in Ground Zero, everything in here is of my creation, from the ground that we are stepping to the stars far away. My creations are my pride, they mean a lot to me, but what good is all of this if I have no one to share with? ''

It was then that she realized just how strong he was, and it made her feel strange, inappropriate. He was a being capable of creating entire dimensions, as a user of creation magic she knew how much effort it took to create something small as an ice flower, but a whole dimension? That was insane, here she was next to something that could only be described as a God, could she handle it? Would she not be enough? Was she good enough?

''What's in your mind? I feel that there is something bothering you.'' Naruto said, sensing the turbulence in her emotions.

''I-I don't know... What if I am not good enough? You made all of this. I had always known that the gap is large but... this much.'' She said feeling downcast, her shoulders trembling the more that she thought about it.

Squeezing her waist slightly and bringing her even closer to him, he stayed silent and listened to her ever increasing heartbeat, thinking about her words for a few moments until a smile graced his face, ''If you don't know then neither do I, it is something completely up to you... But... You shouldn't worry about what I can or cannot do, I do not care if there is a difference, if you are mortal or not, weak, strong, civilian, mage or shinobi. Those things hardly matter to me, Ur is Ur and that's what is important to me. We can walk that bridge when the time comes, what difference would it make now?''

''I-I don't know, bu-''

''No butts except this one'' He said with a chuckle while playfully slapping her rear end, making her 'squeak' in the process, ''Don't think about the 'what ifs', life is too short for that. Leave those complicated, moral things for me to deal with. Today is a happy day! Ultear is back and with you again! Now isn't the time to be sad.''

Ur smiled and giggled, he was right. Ultear is back and with her again, today was a happy day.

The sound of her giggles were like music to his ears, a smile was many times more beautiful to him than a frown, and he just loved to know that his precious people were happy.

Ceasing her giggles and regaining control over herself, ''Ne Naru, what do you really think about Ultear and us? Do you really think we can go with this?''

''Hmm... I like her, she is a sweet child. I'm an immortal, if there is one thing I have is time to spend. Raising her along with you would make me more than happy. Now about us... It is like I said, I am more than willing to try, you are a beautiful woman and during this short period of time I have come to know you, you have become a special person to me. Seeing you happy makes me happy, seeing you sad makes me sad, I guess that all I want is to be happy along with you.''

Ur blushed a bright red at his words and shifted a little before giving a huff.

''Humph! You corny baka…" She gave a gentle slap on his chest. "But now I guess you're my corny baka.

'Maybe it will be okay to fall again if it is for him?'

''D-daddy…? M-mommy…? I can't sleep, I have a bad dweam… Can I come in…?'' Spoke a soft timid voice from behind the door of Ur's room, the voice so low that one could have mistaken it for the wind.

Ultear gave a low 'eap' as the door slowly opened up, Naruto laying down with a sleeping Ur snuggling onto the left side of his body, a grey blanket covering both of them, his free hand lifted upwards and pointing towards the door, a silver string coming out of the tip of his finger and connecting with the knob, ''Of course, dear. Come in, just be careful as to not wake mommy up.''

Ultear nodded slowly and entered the room, closing the door behind her as she did, her little arms wrapped around the fox plushie that he had given to her.

She hesitated for a few seconds until Naruto opened up the blanket and invited her in, he was wearing only black boxers while Ur was using a purple nightgown, Naruto had brought them back into the room re-dressed as soon as they were done.

Getting inside the blanket and latching herself onto the right side of Naruto's chest, she snuggled onto him and with a quick 'Good night daddy' and quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile Naruto kissed the top of her head and whispered a quiet 'goodnight dear' before he himself closed his eyes and fell asleep.
