Moonlight Baby

Chapter 5

Sakura woke up and rubbed her eyes, she had been excused from training today. She clomped downstairs for breakfast.

"Ohayo Mom" Sakura squinted, the morning was to bright for her.

"Sakura! You have such a smart baby!" Her mother cooed. Sakura couldn't beleive what she saw. Tsukiko was sitting in a high chair, but she had nearly doubled overnight! Her head was filled with silvery light hair.

"Sakura!" Tsukiko laughed and pointed straight at her. She could feel her eyes widen in amazement, she bounded over and knelt beside Tsukiko.

"What did you just say?" Sakura's voice quivered.

"Saukra! Sakura! Saukra!" Her mom rewarded her, how did she double in size, learn my name, and... WALK? she thought, because sure enough there was Tsukiko running around the house screaming "Sakura!". She could only roll over yesterday! Sakura thought. She ran over and picked up the baby, she knew she had to take her to Kakashi.

"I'm going to get baby clothes mom!" Sakura sprinted out the door and into the streets, running like the wind as Tsukiko screamed even more words. Sakura stopped and panted heavily at the academy, and wondered what could have caused this. This isn't natural, it can't happen. she ran as hard as she could into the academy. An attendant at the front desk smiled pleasantly and asked her to wait for a second as she went back to her paperwork.

"Okay!" Sakura forced a smile Inner Sakura: Bitch! I have an Intsa-Grow Child with me! The women looked up from her paperwork and smiled again.

"Yes?" She seemed tired.

"I need to talk to Kakashi-sensei" Sakura panted more "now." The attendant was frightened by Sakura.

"I-I'm sorry he's in a very important meeting right now and can't-"

"Do you see this?" Skura pointed to her headband "I am on his Team, Team 7. I need to see him now! It's about a very important mission." Sakura glared hard at the attendant, she was obviously intimidated by her. Sakura ran past her desk without another word and made headway to Kakashi's office. It was strange walking into the classroom again. After spending so many years of training, it brought back memories. But sure enough, there he was, sitting and reading his porn book.

"Important meeting, eh?" Sakura leaned against his doorway for support.

"Ah, Sakura! I though I gave you guys the day off?" He went back to reading his book.

"Sensei, its Tsukiko. She's well, grown." Sakura said for lack of a better word.

"Ah, yes babies tend to do that" Kakashi still never looked up from his book.

"She's four days old and she can already walk and talk!" That caught his attention, he finally looked up and stared at her.

"Kakati!" Tsukiko squealed, it wasn't correct but very close after only hearing his name a couple of times. Kakashi dropped his book, his eyes were filled with either surprise or fear.

Inner Sakura: He must get freaked out by babies. HA! A weakness!

He got up from his chair slowly and walked over to Tsukiko, she stared right into his eyes. It was scary, like she knew that she would be meeting him. Kakashi bent down to get a closer look at Tsukiko, he preformed hand signs to use a jutsu. Sakura span around holding the baby closer to her.

"What do you think you're doing! She's a baby!" Sakura screeched.

"That sure as hell isn't an ordinary baby." Kakashi kept moving forward "I need to run some tests to see what is so unique about this baby" Sakura went numb, she doesn't know why, but for some reason she handed over Tsukiko without a word. If Kakashi-sensei though she was so strange that she needs tests at just a baby, who knows what will happen when she's an adult? Kakashi and Tsukiko started to leave the room.

"Wait! I'm coming too!" Sakura was determined to see the tests Kakashi was going to do. She took a defensive pose and stared at him right in the eye.

"Better hurry up then." He began to walk away fast. Sakura jumped and followed, struggling to keep at the same pace as him.

"Wh-where are we going?" Sakura panted. Kakashi stayed silent. Soon they were in the basement of the academy staring at a door. Kakashi held the baby in one arm and preformed the hand signs with the other.

Note: this room is the one where Kakashi had to seal the bruise on Sasuke's back neck.

Sakura shivered, the room was so cold. Like a tomb. There was no life, just stone and rock. Kakashi moved over to the middle of the room. He set down Tsukiko and began to draw a circle. The circle became more complicated, he added more shapes and writings.

"I'm going to read her Chakra" Sakura jumped, it always surprised her when he talked as if he was reading her mind.

"Read, her Chakra?" Sakura didn't recall anything like that in her lessons at the academy.

"Yes, I need to find out what is causing this amazing growth." He knelt down in front of Tsukiko and slid his headband up to his forehead. Sharigan Sakura thought. He closed his right eye and opened the left. The hand moves he preformed seemed to take forever, it must be a complicated process. The circles began to glow and spin, the writing danced across the floor, Sakura stood back more, keeping her eyes on the baby. Tsukiko closed her eyes slowly, her silvery hair flowed in the air, it had grown even more since this morning. Kakashi had begun to glow now in sync with Tsukiko, Tsukiko's face began to contort in discomfort. She started to cry, Sakura hated to see her in pain. Tsukiko's cry's became louder, Kakashi began to quiver, he was thrown against the back wall. The glowing stopped, Tsukiko stared up at Sakura with smiling, silver eyes. Sakura ran to Kakashi.

"Sensei, are you okay?" She knew that it took a lot of force to throw back Kakashi, only the strongest ninjas could even scratch him in battle.

"I couldn't read her chakra, just as we were in sync something inside her body deflected me." He rubbed his head " we need to keep that baby in order to see how she grows.

Sakura stared back at the baby, Tsukiko smiled at her and giggled. What had they found?
