Akanishi-san: Hehe, so I decided to make the 2nd chapter Well not really, the other ending I mean. Well anyway, please review on this as well
Extra ? Ending
Kanae POV
My heart beat started to slow, and my body was getting numb. I saw a glimpse of the boy in my arms, the blue eyes. The blue eyes of our son. He was going to grow up to be just like his father…Naruto. Live strong. I breathed my last breath, and the last things I saw was the blue eyes of my love and my son. My blue eyes. Live.
Change POV to Fourth
I felt her hand in my hands drop, and I felt its weight. She was gone. She had left. I looked at her pale face, and I saw a small smile on her lips. How could she smile with me crying at her side? I brought one of my hands and brushed a finger on her cheek. It felt very cold, and I hated it. Death had taken her, away from me.
I looked at her eyes, to see that they would never open to see me. She had begged to have blue eyes when I placed the genjutsu over her, and now, I will never see her blue or her warm brown eyes. I will never see it open, with full of happiness. The eyes that I loved to see.
I looked at her mouth, the lips I kissed at night and other occasions. It looked so cold now. She was gone. She was not in my life anymore.
A soft whimpering caught my attention, and I averted my teary eyes to our son, who was looking at Kanae worriedly. Did he understand? Did he understand that his mother had gone? Did he understand the pain?
I numbly took him into my own arms, and my arms shook with effort. I wish she would smile again, I wish she would look at me with those loving eyes, I wish I could kiss her again, and most of all, I wish she was alive.
I wish she was alive.
Even though I said those words over and over in my head, it didn't come true. I know that it won't, even if I say it over and over forever. I know she will not be back alive anymore, no matter what I do. I had to let her go, but I just couldn't. She was my life, and she had gone.
I looked at Naruto, who was now looking at me. "Naruto." I whispered his name. Tears dropped from my eyes, which landed on his cheeks. "I wish your mother is alive, I wish she will smile at me, tell me everything was all right."
Naruto was frowning at his father. Did he understand? I recall someone saying to be babies are said to understand people's feelings. Maybe he did understand my feelings. I sat there still, my tears still dropping, looking at the love of my life.
"Kana-chan…" I whispered, taking her cold hand once more. "Kana-chan…" I said her name couple of times, each time my tears dropping. "Please…Kana-chan…"
My eyes kept flicking to the heart monitor. I wish it would start beeping again. But I knew it won't. I understood in bottom of my heart, but…I couldn't face it.
"Yondaime!" Someone yelled my name, and I looked up with my messy face to see one of the anbu looking at me through his mask. He had many doctors and nurses on him, most likely trying to stop him form coming in. Of course, they failed to do so. "I am sorry, but it is urgent!" He whispered in a half yell, looking at me, then to the baby, and then…to my dead love. He took a step back, looking very worried now.
I numbly stood up, Naruto still in my arms. Whipping off the tears with my sleeves, I looked at him. "What is it?" Oh. It better be urgent.
He bowed. "The anbu squad 6 said while on their mission they ran into Orochimaru, who is planning to summon the Kyuubi to attack us!"
This got my attention all right. I got up, and in an instant, I was next to the door. "Please keep Kanae's body there for me. I will return for her." It hurt to say that. Body…she was dead. Seeing the doctor nod, I walked out, I did know Naruto was in my arms, but I took him anyway. I felt that I should.
"Hokage-sama, the baby…" The anbu inquired me, but I just nodded to him. Taking that as an answer, he stayed with me until I was safely in the hokage's room, where many anbu and leaders were there already.
"Hokage-sama!" They all jumped up onto their feet to see me with the baby. "Congratulations!" Someone yelled, with a happy voice, I smiled the best I could, but I knew it was not a whole smile.
"First things first, we need to think about the Kyuubi rather than my story." I said to them, and seated myself down onto a chair, Naruto in my arms still. "Any information?"
I did not know that by not telling them that it was my child, it would hurt my child later. I did not know that this small information could have changed his life. I did not know that by not telling the people this, they would think that Naruto was another child by someone else, and would treat him unfairly. But I didn't know a lot of things that time.
They all seemed hesitant at my behavior, but they knew this was important. I was glad; I really didn't want to talk about it. "Orochimaru, I believe would send the Kyuubi tonight…" Someone said, looking at me intently.
"Tonight…" I whispered. It was coming too soon. I told everyone to order their own teams I made for them, and to support each other. I told them to do what they thought best, and I dismissed them to do whatever. I stayed seated in the room, and after I made sure everyone was gone, I let myself tear again. Everything was crumbling down for my life. First Kanae, then this. Could anything get worse?
It did.
The night came, and just like he predicted, the Kyuubi came. It came out of no where a summon, like the information stated. We all fought back, but we stood no chance. It was a demon after all, a huge size too!
I went into the battle field, the baby still in my arms. Did Naruto understand the situation now? I ran into a big clearing, and I took that chance to summon Gamabunta.
((AN: the huge frog, ya know? ))
He grumbled something like trouble, and others, but I wasn't listening. I was too worried about everything else. We fought. Gamabunnta and everyone. We all fought. But we were losing. I saw many people dying in front of me. I couldn't stand it. I didn't want to see anyone else dying in front of me. Kanae dying was already enough.
And then, I remembered something. A scroll in the forbidden jutsu area, I remember something about sealing a demon into a child. I ordered everyone to cover for me, while I jumped down from Gamabunta, and ran as fast as I could to the scroll. I found it quickly, and I was back at the battle field.
"Naruto…I'm sorry…" I whispered to him. I didn't want to do it, but…I had to. It was for my village, for him, for myself. I felt selfish, using Naruto, but I could not take another child and make him or her suffer. Besides, I was a parent.
I want the people to think of Naruto as a hero, a hero who saved the village by using his body as the container.
I felt another tear drop as I made seals, Naruto in my lap since I was sitting now on top of Gamabunta.
I want the people to treat Naruto as an equal, even if he will have the demon.
I finished the seal, and I saw the Kyuubi freeze.
I want the people to see Naruto as an equal, even if he will have the demon.
I made another seal, and the Kyuubi was turned into a red chakra ish thing, and it came to my hand.
I want the people to be nice to Naruto, since he will lose both of his parents in one day.
I threw my hand onto Naruto's stomach, and I saw the symbols glow.
I want Naruto to live happy, to live strong.
I saw the symbols arrange it self, and I was slowly losing my conscious.
Most of all, I want Naruto to live.
The symbols stopped glowing, and Naruto started to cry, looking at me, maybe from the pain, but then, I knew that Naruto understood. He was losing both of his parents. He understood. I saw the Third come, and he picked Naruto up.
"Please take care…of him." I whispered with a smile, and all I saw was darkness.
I would see Kana-chan soon, I thought in my head. But I wish we were both alive, to see Naruto live. I wish we can both spend times with Naruto, who would not see both of us ever again.
Naruto. Live strong. From both of us, live.
Akanishi-san: Ya know, I thought it would be longer than this. The ending, I mean. I could have posted this on the first chapter. Actually, it would have been too long…ah well, w/e. Anyway, which ending do you like more? I swear, I had more ideas for this ending, it just didn't come. Pft. Ah well, please review one last time!
