Author Notes: Just would like to state the following, I do not own Naruto, if I did...you don't want to know what would happen...

Anyways, enjoy!

One Week Later…

"You must put them in the orphanage Yondaime-sama, you cannot juggle your Hokage duties and take care of your son at the same time." It had been a week since the entire village had attended the burial of those who had died stalling for Hyouzan and Arashi, after which they had attended the funerals of the bravest of them all, Hyouzan himself. Many of those who had attended were close friends of Hyouzan, including Arashi's own teammate Hiashi and Hyouzan's teammate Hizashi, Hiashi's twin brother. Two particular shinobi stood out among the groups of mourners and shinobi as each had not moved a muscle since they had come back. Anko stood beside Kakashi holding her second sensei's battle gloves, the ones he had worn in his last fight as a shinobi. It was common knowledge to Arashi and the small group of clan leaders that Hyouzan had been there when she was in her darkest times and he had been the one to bring her back up into the light, give her a home, and a family. Now Kakashi stood in the Council room upon Sarutobi's and Arashi's wish to discuss what should be done with Korishi since Nanabi had left for the same day Kyuubi was sealed away. Right after the funeral, Arashi had gathered up all shinobi who were involved in the stalling battles and informed them what had been done to defeat, not kill Kyuubi. Many of them were eyeing Korishi with contempt while others were uneasy of Naruto, but they numbered few compared to those who knew Arashi and Hyouzan best. "We admire the willingness of both you and your wife but we need the Yondaime."

"Hai, yet how is asking my wife and I to give up our son for our duties more important than my son?"

"All we can afford to do is set a pair of ANBU guards to watch over him…" Kakashi had been fuming ever since he entered the council room upon hearing concealed hatred towards not just Korishi but even a few aimed right at Naruto despite Arashi's presence. If it was not for Arashi and Sarutobi's presence, he would have long since slaughtered half of the room before calming down to torture the survivors. "There is just no one available who…can…take care of these children…"

"Don't lie to Arashi-sen-"

"Peace Kakashi, peace." If it was anyone else but Arashi who had spoke, half of the members were sure that the young Hatake would have killed them all without hesitation. Ever since Hyouzan had died, Kakashi had become very protective of both Naruto and Koorishi, not to mention Anko. One particular drunk had been dumb enough to insult her by claiming she was the reason Hyouzan died. The end result had been two entire ANBU squads being called up to hold Kakashi back.

"Is that so?" Every council member in the room froze when Arashi's wife entered the room with Rin and Anko in tow carrying the subjects of the meetings. Where Arashi had bright yellow hair, his wife had fiery red hair cut short and spiky with her powerful sea green eyes glaring straight at the council members.

"Lady Uzumaki, I thought you were out in the field…" The councilor's words died out as soon as her gaze fixed itself upon him. Sweat trickled down his face despite the cool temperature of the room and the fact that half a dozen ANBU guards were ready to defend the councilors. No one dared to move though; they had all witnessed the entrance exam given to her when she had entered their village with Arashi's team as she had been an orphan they found. Her hand was already gripping the orange handle of her katana when Arashi shook his head at her but she still did not let go.

"We know that Hyouzan-sama wished for both children to live unchanged from the attack, but the facts still stand. Naruto is Kyuubi's vessel, and-"

"-And that gives you the right to condemn both of these children!?!" A single person appeared in front of everyone dressed in a simple large black cloak adorned with a single blue sapphire emblem on the corner of their chest.

"How dare you barge into a-"

"Silence human or else I will rip your soul out from where you stand."

"This is an outrage!" The figure turned to the speaker and within a flash was crouching down in front of them without a care to the ANBU guards surrounding them. I didn't see them move at all, and this kind of aura….Arashi glared at the guards before taking a step forward towards the figure.

"It is rather rude to treat a guest like this; I thought that Konoha was known to be a little more gracious to their guests…"

"Yes, but then again, we don't know who our guest is…" Ah, Uzumaki Arashi, I was wondering where I might find you…Blank cold eyes glanced around to land on Naruto and Koorishi who had both woken up yet neither one had cried at all. NO!!! Both Arashi and his wife were in front of the children as the figure froze in mid-step before letting out a soft chuckle, almost feral in sound. "I would like an explanation. Now."

"I understand, if it was my kit that was the number one target," The figure pulled down their hood to reveal a pair of ice blue eyes with slits instead of normal pupils. Silver white fox ears sat atop their head with translucent white hair adorning the figure's head. Instead of normal hands, small claws were visible where normal nails would have been with a pair of small snow foxes were on her shoulders, marked with a simple blue stripe on their tails. Kitsune ears….but that can't be….She turned to the councilor with a smirk plastered on her face revealing a pair of sharp fangs poking out. "I would be just as angry. And by the way, it's rude to be talking about a Hokage's musuko like that."

"You barge in here and think that-"At once both foxes had shot up from their spots to appear beside the speaker but not in the same fox form. The larger one had pure grey eyes standing out against dark blue long hair and white ears wearing a plain blue cloak but holding onto one long blue katana held at the speaker's neck. The other was smaller and had ice cold blue eyes with short white hair and grey ears covered in the same blue cloak with short blue katana pressed against the ANBU's necks.

"Shimogan, Kooritsume, stand down."

"Hai milady…" Both figures returned to her side without question as the councilors all stared at the woman in both fear and awe. Icy personality, loyal vassals, and the fact she has fox ears….Arashi ignored the shiver going down his spine while the woman turned to him and nodded.

"I was about to call you Nanabi, but I guess that wouldn't sit well with your vassals."

"At least one of you humans is intelligent enough to recognize who I am," Her eyes scanned the room for a moment until she spotted Koorishi resting in Anko's arms. He's not even fazed by my presence at all, in fact, Naruto opened his eyes first and squealed with delight as the woman took a step closer and Naruto giggled, Nii-san, it seems like you were right after all… "Their both healthy children, you must be very proud."

"Koorishi is eating well enough…" She doesn't trust me, not that I can't blame her…The woman sighed before turning to the council with her slit eyes glaring right through them. These damn fools, I should kill them for even suggesting to abandon these children for the so called sake of this village, but I made a promise to nii-san to take care of this village in his stead.

"I'll take care of the two of you from now on, Shimogan!"

"I am at your command milady."

"Inform Yukiken that I have made my decision." The blue haired man bowed and faded away into a icy mist while the other figure stood at attention. "Kooritsume, you already have your orders."

"Hai milady, I shall obey them." Orders? Anko shrugged as Koorishi looked up at her while she stared back at him, He is Hyouzan-san's musuko, who else could remain so calm even if in ignorance?

"You are, Mitarashi Anko, correct?"

"Hai."

"Kooritsume, could you please led her to the house?"

"At once milady," All of the ANBU guards blocked their path as two of the councilors stood up in their seats. What does it take for these bastards to get it?

"You are not allowed to take that child away until we have finished-"

ENOUGH! The entire room grew cold as Rin hugged Naruto to her closer to keep him warm while Koorishi just watched the woman as if she was someone he knew. Ice crystals formed around her entire body as the floor tiles froze over in seconds and half of the guards were already half way to a icy comma and yet the temperature continued to drop. If you so much as think about harming, attacking, targeting, or even insulting either of these children, I will not rest until you, your family, and your entire clan is erased from existence. I am taking Mitarashi Anko into my house along with Koorishi, and I will not come back here again ever unless it is for the sole reason to kill you…None of the councilors dared to even breath even though the temperature was returning to normal. With a smile hidden beneath her mask of solemn anger, she turned to Arashi and his wife before speaking in her normal voice. "I am planning on a small dinner for my family, and I would like to extend a invitation to you."

"Of course, Koorishi and Naruto hate to be apart for long." I thought that her fox form was dangerous, the woman bowed before leaving with Kooritsume and Anko in tow, if we had fought them in their human forms…. Arashi ignored the shiver going up his spine as he nodded to Rin and his wife before they left with Kakashi already ahead of them, leaving a dumbstruck council alone to try and figure out what had just taken place.

Konoha city limits...

Anko was still trying to figure out what was going on as she followed Kooritsume, who had managed to take the less crowded streets to avoid any attackers. If someone had told me that I would be under the protection of a fox two years ago, I would have laughed, but now, it doesn't seem so bad. The vixen seemed to be thinking along the same lines as she began to slow down enough so she could walk beside Anko.

"I know it might seem rude of me to say this but…She didn't have to do this for me…" Kooritsume blinked as Koorishi looked up at the two women with curiosity. It's not like I can't take care of my sensei's son on my own…

"My lady ordered me to, and I don't mind looking after you Anko-san. You don't act like the other humans I've seen." She had to hide the rising blush on her face lest someone discovered them and would start spreading rumors that Anko could blush. The last thing she needed to worry about right now was the hard-earned respect she had earned from the other chuunin.

"Arigatou, but don't call me Anko-san, your probably older than me anyway…"

"Not that much, I've been serving milady for twenty years now, and I was raised to serve her since I was a kit fifty years ago." Fifty years, but she doesn't look any older than I do. Kooritsume noticed Anko's stare and she brushed a stray hair away from her face. "I don't mind being a vassal, milady is a very caring person when she is alone."

"Just goes to show you that everyone has some good in them, even if they could kill have this village without a struggle!" Despite her bad joke, Kooritsume hid a gentle laugh behind her hand as Koorishi giggled with glee. As they continued to walk, Anko felt the air grow a little colder while Kooritsume let out a soft sigh before a silver blur tried to tackle her. With practiced ease and grace, she sidestepped out of the way before grabbing the attacker's collar as her other hand rubbed her left temple.

"Hikai-sama, milady will not be happy to find you roaming out like this."

"Uh, Kooritsume-san, kaa-san sent me." The attacker turned out to be a small boy with pale blue eyes and short silver hair with a small fox yipping at his side. He almost looks related to Kakashi, except for his ears and tails. Wait a second, tails? Sure enough, there were four distinct small silver fox tails behind him excluding the two pale blue tails of the fox beside him. He also wore a similar black cloak to the others with the same blue emblem on his breast but he also wore steel boots on as well. Odd, milady never sends Hikai-sama to fetch me. Her eyes narrowed for a second until the small fox yipped twice. Downwind, I need to inform Shimogan-kun of this problem as soon as possible!

"I'll catch up with you later Hikai-sama, take Anko-sa, I mean, Anko-kun with you."

"No, kaa-san gave me explicit orders for you to go on ahead, I'll catch up with you later." He turned to Anko and peeked at the small bundle on the tip of his toes. Human children look funny! Koorishi looked at Hikai for a minute before he did one of the few things a week old child could do at all, blow a lousy raspberry. Just wait punk, I'll get you back for that later…The fox jumped up onto his shoulder and licked Koorishi's cheeks earning a small set of giggles. "Kaa-san's waiting for you, and I think she isn't happy either…"

"Let's go then before you Kaa-san whips you for making us late." Hikai just stuck out his tongue at Anko's retreating form as she and Kooritsume went off. I guess it wouldn't be so bad living in this place for a while…A few gentle licks brought his attention to the fox who stared at him as if worrying about his contemplative stare. Go on ahead Yukirui, tell my kaa-san I'll be late to dinner. The fox nodded before disappearing in a white blur, leaving behind a few melting snowflakes on his cloak. Hikai looked up at the bright sun overhead and he pulled the hood up over his cloak, his back turned to the pair of shadows watching him walk away...

Finally got this one up, now I got to juggle working on the third chapter of this one and the second chapter of the new fanfic...Oh well, always did like a challenge. Please review when you get the chance!
