"Where's Dad?" Mikaiyo asked.
Hinata stared at him. Tears picked at her eyes, threatening to fall. Sasuke and Sakura looked worried too. Mikaiyo started to panic.
"You know. My father. The 6th Hokage……… Naruto Uzumaki!?" He paused. The tears were now quickly flowing down his mother's cheeks.
Sakura ran out of the room and came back a few seconds later with Tsunade.
"Hokage-sama, I don't know what's going on." Sakura said. Her voice saddened. "He started asking for his dad……Naruto."
"Hokage? Tsunade isn't Hokage. What's going on?! Where's my Father?!" Mikaiyo shouted.
Tsunade walked over to the side of his bed opposite of Hinata, by the window. She placed a hand on Mikaiyo's forehead, attempting to heal any damaged that may have caused this. Mikaiyo pushed the hand away.
"I'm telling you I'm fine!" He shouted
Tsunade sighed and pulled up a chair beside the bed.
"Tell me everything you know about your past." She said, making sure to look him strait in the eye.
Mikaiyo sighed, looking down at his sheets. "The day I was born was the day my Dad became Hokage. But that night, the six tailed weasel attacked the village. So Sasuke and Sakura-san helped him seal it inside my body. They thought he was dead but the
Kyuubi's power saved him. A few days later, an angry mob showed up at the Hyuuga Compound and tried to kill me but Dad showed up and saved me and mom. That night, the council wanted them to give me up but Dad wouldn't allow it." Mikaiyo paused when once again he was met with worried faces.
"Mikaiyo, how do you know all this?" Hinata asked her son, know that she had stopped crying long enough to listen.
"Bedtime stories. You and Dad would tell me about this stuff all the time. He said he didn't want me growing up like he did, not knowing what is going on." Mikaiyo stated.
"Now tell me what happened when Tamaki attacked you." Tsunade said
"Me, Hayomi and Kai were walking through the woods playing tag when he attacked us. After a while he…somehow… pulled me and Kai back to the night the six tails attacked. I got hurt worse so Kai was trying to protect me. She got her Sharingan. Then just as he was going to attack us again with more force….this white light blast him away. When it faded, I saw him. But he was a ghost. He saved us. That's all I remember until I woke up here." He explained,
"I see." Tsunade stated as she got up. "Hinata, Sasuke, Sakura. I need to speak with you."
The three adults nodded and followed Tsunade out into the hall. Sasuke quietly shut the door behind them.
Out in the hall, Tsunade leaned against the wall, her arms folded across her chest and her eyes closed. She signed. "His brain activity is normal, his chakra flow is normal, there are no server injuries that could have caused this."
"No genjutsu in existence is strong enough to play out his entire life again. It doesn't make any sense." Sasuke said
"I think we'll have to have a talk to this Tamaki guy in the prison." Sakura said. She then looked over to Hinata.
"Are you okay, Hinata? You haven't said anything." Sakura asked, putting a hand on her friends back.
"Huh? Oh, right. Um… I fine. You know me. Just quiet." She stuttered. Something she had rarely done when her husband was still with her.
Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata went back into the room while Tsunade left to go interrogate Tamaki.
Hinata took her place back in the chair beside her son's bed. Sasuke and Sakura went back to Kai.
Sakura sat down on the edge of her daughter's bed, her husband sat behind her. She brushed some hair out of Kai's face. Kai slowly opened her eyes and sat up.
"Hm?"
"How are you feeling Kido?" Sakura asked with a slight smile of relief
"I'm fine." She said as she looked around the Hospital room.
"Kai!" Mikaiyo exclaimed, jumping out of his bed and running over to hers. "Kai! Tell them what Tamaki did! Tell them my Dad has been alive our whole lives!" Mikaiyo begged.
"Mikaiyo Hyuuga, get back into bed!" Hinata ordered.
"Uzumaki!" He snapped.
Hinata stood there shocked. "What has gotten into you?!"
Mikaiyo ignored his mother and looked back to Kai. He was silently begging for her to say she remembered.
"What are you talking about……?" she asked
"Dang it! She doesn't remember!"
"Of course he has. Who else would teach you how to control the six tail's power?" She said as if stating the obvious.
And that's when it hit him like a ton of bricks. He ran up and gave Kai a big hug. "Oh god I love you!" he exclaimed. His eyes widened in realization at what he just said. He quickly let go and blushed. "But you know, not like that cause…."
"Uh… yeah….." Kai said with the same wide eyes and blush.
"Anyway… I know how to prove it to you!!" He exclaimed. He formed the tiger and seal and closed his eyes in concentration. Soon enough, his ears were replaced with weasel ears and he grew a bushy tail.
Mikaiyo opened his eyes and looked around. But he didn't get to observe the worried faces. Soon enough, all he saw was darkness.
Sasuke hit a pressure point in the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious. He picked the boy up and laid him back on his bed gently. He sighed and looked to Hinata.
"I'm sorry. But we wouldn't have heard an end to it. It's best if we try to fire out what's going on before he wakes up." he explained
"It's fine… just……how did he learn that?' Hinata asked
"Something's not right here." Sakura said.
"Mom? Dad? What's going on?" Kai asked
Sasuke walked over to his daughter. He was trying to hide it and be strong for her, but he was worried. She said that Naruto was alive too and it scared him.
"Everything's fine. Why don't you get some rest." He said with a hand on her shoulder.
Kai sighed. "Like I haven't had enough rest already."

There may have never been such a peaceful night. A light breeze made the leaves on the streets dance, no cloud existed in the sky, allowing the moon to shine it's brightest.
Mikaiyo looked out the window and scowled. The world was mocking him.
He lay on his bed with his arms up and his hands under his head. It's not like he could sleep. Would you be able to if you had been pulled into an alternate present where your father was dead? I thought not.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He roughly pulled back his covers and sat up in his bed, sighing. The sudden movement also woke up his hospital room-mate.
"Mhm? Can't sleep?" she asked, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Would you be able to sleep if your father was dead and no one believed you when you said that this is some kind of alternate universe?" he asked
"Not really." She said, hoisting her head up onto her arm.
Mikaiyo looked out the window.
"They're keeping us here only because they think we've either gone insane or we've got brain damage." Mikaiyo stood up. "I'm going out." He said
"What?" Kai asked
"I've got to find some way to reverse what ever has happened." He walked to the other side of the bed and opened the night dresser draw. He took his black T-shirt, white shorts and white jacket with red flames out and went into the bathroom to change. Once he came out, he headed toward the open window. The moonlight shining on his face, the breeze playing with his hair. Almost like His father was smiling at him, ruffling his hair. "I'll be back soon." He said, hoisting himself onto the window ledge. Of course, he was only 6. He couldn't walk on walls yet. So he'd just have to climb down.
"I'm going with you." Kai said. When Mikaiyo turned around, she was already dressed and ready to leave.
"Then let's get out of here." He smiled

Mikaiyo and Kai were walking down the street toward the prison…too bad the prison was on the other side of town. On their way there, they had to cut through one of the training grounds. While passing through the forest of the grounds, Mikaiyo saw something from the corner of his eye.
"Um, you keep going. I'll catch up in a sec." he said.
"Alright." She said, walking away.
Mikaiyo walked into a clearing. Sitting on the other side of the clearing was a polished stone. He ran up to it and kneeled down. He didn't have to look for the name. It was in bold letters right in the middle of the stone face.
Rokudaime Uzumaki Naruto.
Mikaiyo looked at his side and saw a single white flower in the grass. He smiled, then picked it out of the ground and put it on the Memorial stone.
I will fix this, father. I promise
And I think I'll leave it there for now. I don't know if that's how you spell '6th Hokage' in Japanese but hey, I was going from memory. I hope you liked this chappie! REVIEW!
