Chapter 9

Three days after Kyosuke's incident, Sasuke and Naruto where still on high alert, they had no idea if that ninja had comrades also out to get him. Kyosuke seemed to sink into a tiny depression; he walked slowly, stayed quiet, and didn't seem to eat as much as you think a little kid would. What the two adults noticed was that his eyes became darker and didn't show his expressions also what alarmed them was that he looked paler than his normal fair completion. He stayed beside Sasuke even more now. He didn't hold Sasuke's hand or touch him; he just seemed to stay beside him because he felt like Sasuke would protect him.

He was looking for comfort and apparently he wanted it from the stoic Uchiha.

They took breaks for him, sometimes for an hour or two where he would curl up into a ball and sleep because he started to have insomnia, screaming in his sleep and not being able to fall into a light sleep. While Sasuke and Naruto took small naps at night, Kyosuke would sit up by the fire and hold his knees to his chest.

It had taken them almost a week to reach the Fire Country. Naruto and Sasuke where returning home after a mission in the Land of Fruit when they had found the child. Normally it would have taken the two to days or less to get home, but Kyosuke slowed them down, a lot. The Hokage would not be happy that they where late and unaccounted for.

"Don't worry kid, Lady Tsunade will look for your mom's records and find your dad in no time!" Naruto said as he walked along side Kyosuke who was to Sasuke's left.

"Who is Lady Tsunade?"

"Our acting Hokage, she can be mean and loud at some times, but don't worry, she sometimes likes kids."

"…I can't wait to meet her."

"She's not that terrible, don't worry."

"I didn't say that I thought she was terrible, she just sounds…like…not kike other adults I know."

"Trust me, she's not."

"Okay…?"

"For Kami sake Naruto, don't scare the kid!" Sasuke said, pulling Kyosuke to his other side as they walked in the familiar trees.

"I didn't say anything, Teme!"

"Sure you didn't."

They walked in silence for a wile longer until Kyosuke reached up to tug at Sasuke's sleeve, "do you really think she'll find my dad?"

"If your mom was a ninja here and had you in the hospital there would be a record."

"Okay….do you think he'll want me?" he looked up at Sasuke with sad eyes. "Because I'm really scared about finding him; what if he as a new family and there is no room for me. What if no one wants me?"

Sasuke's eye twitched at the thought of no one wanting this boy. His right hand reached down to rub Kyosuke's hair, smoothing the small spikes at the back. "Don't worry; there is someone in this world who wants you. If not your father then someone else would love to have you."

"Thanks, Mr. Sasuke." He sadly smiled up at him.

They finally reached the village's main gates around dinner time. Kyosuke's spirits went up a little as they took him down the main road. He was amazed at how many people lived in this village; it was so much bigger than his own, vendors lined the streets with candy and food, the colors seemed more vibrant in the night with all the lights on. Naruto even bought him a very large lollypop, the size of his head, and a bowl of ramen—nether of which he ate.

As they kept walking a large mountain caught his eye. Well why wouldn't it? It was in the middle of the village and was humongous! Six faces where carved into the rock. One he recognized.

"Mr. Naruto…why is your head in the mountain?" he asked pointing to the formations.

Naruto was walking with a bowl of ramen and literally swallowing it whole. "(SLURP) they finished it!!!! (GULP) that the Hokage Mountain, all the Hokages are honored with that; so call me the Sixth Hokage."

"WOW! But why are you going on missions?"

"Tsunade hasn't retired yet; she's the acting Hokage and I'm just so amazing that I got the title; the second youngest man to get it." Naruto started to walk faster so he could get a closer look to it. "It looks so cool!!! I'm the only one who's smiling—Naruto you are amazing!!!!"

"He talks about himself a lot, doesn't he?" Kyosuke said as he leaned closer to Sasuke.

"Yup," he pointed up to the middle face, "that's Naruto's dad, the forth Hokage."

"Wow."

Kyosuke sat with his back to the chair as he sat inside Lady Tsunade's meeting room. She was a woman who looked so young but acted like a crabby old lady. She scared Kyosuke, so he didn't look up at her, so he looked at his feet. She was in the process of yelling at Naruto and Sasuke who where standing behind him.

"So…both of you are trying to tell me that you found this little boy in the forest and decided to bring him with you?" she asked.

'Momma wasn't as big as her; I don't know where to look.'

"Yes, ma'am." both men answered, standing at attention.

Tsunade stood up from her chair and made her way in front of the scared little boy and looked down at him, than back at Naruto and Sasuke. "You both know I hate it when things do not go smoothly. You where late by five days—unaccounted for five days! This boy made you late, but…" she leaned down to look Kyosuke straight in the eyes, "he is—" she wrapped her arms around his fragile little body and pulled him into her chest, "—absolutely adorable!!!!!!"

Kyosuke tried to scream, but where his head was situated he couldn't. "Honestly isn't he the cutest little thing? I just want to hold him, kiss him, and love him to death!" she cried as she literally smothered Kyosuke in her chest.

Naruto leaned over to Sasuke, "think she had a point?" he whispered.

"Hn." Sasuke answered.

"Now than," she placed a very dizzy and pale Kyosuke back into his chair. "I have matters to discuss with this boy, none of which concern you. So you may go home."

"Okay—"

"—we'll wait in the hall." Sasuke cut Naruto off and then walked out the door.

"I guess Hinata can wait."

When the door shut, Tsunade smiled and walked back to her seat and stretched out, "I was wondering when you would come back, Kyosuke Haruno. Though I must admit that I was caught off guard by Sasuke and Naruto bringing you in, I expected Sakura to bring you."

"You—you know who I am and my momma?"

"Know you, I delivered you myself. I would not allow any other doctor deliver Sakura's baby boy unless it was me."

"You really knew momma?"

"Correction—I know your mother. Did she let you come all this way by yourself? That's not like her at all."

"Um….she's…Momma is dead, Ma'am."

"What?"

"She was killed on the way here." His stomach started to hurt as he spoke about her and remembered what had happened.

"She can't be; Sakura is too powerful to have…died."

"She died protecting me, there where missing ninja who wanted to kill me and her. She fought them off…than Mr. Sasuke and Naruto found me."

"So she really is gone?"

"Yes," he felt his tears begin to fall; he clutched his stomach as it clenched in pain.

"I guess," She sobbed a little, "I should inform your grandfather and father."

Forgetting his pain Kyosuke jumped up, "you know my father?"

Tsunade turned around to a small filing cabinet and opened it, "yes," she said but did not mention his name, "We'll have to see about sending information to your village about your mother."

Kyosuke felt the room spinning and the pain in his stomach increase more. As the room continued to spin he felt his legs give way and soon passed out onto the floor. Tsunade turned around as she heard the crashing noise and screamed his name. Naruto and Sasuke opened the door and ran into the room.

"What happened?" Sasuke asked.

"I don't know," she turned him around in her arms and gasped as she saw blood on the floor where his head had been. "He's bleeding…" it was coming from his mouth. Kyosuke turned blue and more blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. "Get him to the hospital!"

"What's wrong, why is he bleeding?" Naruto asked as Tsunade stood with the limp boy in her arms and pushed past him.

"Quickly before he chokes on his own blood!" she cried.

Naruto and Sasuke passed in the hallway of the intensive care facility. Tsunade banned them from going in the room as she examined Kyosuke. Nurses went in and out of the room; every time the door opened the two men would try to look in. They got glimpses of Tsunade hooking him up to an IV and other machines, and of the nurses brining out bloody towels.

"What's going on in there?" Naruto cried in frustration. "He looked sick, but I just guess it was because he was sad. Do you think he's going to die?"

"Hn." He answered.

"Teme, come on!" Naruto stood and gripped Sasuke by the front of his vest, "show come compassion, you and I both know that boy got to you and you are worried."

Sasuke pushed Naruto away and glared at him, "Fine…I'm worried."

Finding they had nothing more to say and where now in an awkward silence they retreated to a seating bench. Not a minuet passed until Tsunade exited the room and pulled off her sterile gloves. They launched off the bench and to her side.

"Well?" they asked.

"He's stable for the moment." Sasuke saw the glint of apprehension in her eyes, "He's in a medical sleep but you can go in and see him." Naruto zoomed past her and into the room and to Kyosuke's bed side. As Sasuke started to walk past her, she gripped his wrist and held him back, "not you, Uchiha. Come with me, please."

"Yes, ma'am." he said quietly.

She started down the left hall and lead Sasuke into a filing room. "We keep all records of births and deaths in this room, along with some other medical information." She said as she flipped on the lights and turned to face him. "Okay, I'm going to tell you the truth."

"Is that boy even going to survive the night?" he asked in anger.

"He will, if he receives the attention he needs. I'm guessing from the trauma he went through when his mother died made him stop eating and sleeping. Because of his age his internal organs began to shut down, also an ulcer has formed on his stomach from being stressing which is why he is coughing up blood. The blood is also from being starved, dehydrated, and stressed—it is also causing his system to shut down at a fast rate."

"All in seven days?"

"He's young; his body will react different than a man your age, Sasuke."

"How will he get better?"

"Well he's on fluids, so that will help him wake up and he'll have to be on a strict diet a first to reintroduce him to food—or else he might eat himself to death. But the most important thing he needs right now is a blood transfusion." She sighed and looked hard at him, "This child can not receive any blood we have stored in the hospital, and it will only poison him. He is AB positive but it's what's in the blood that is most important, his blood has a specific and very rare enzyme that will help him control his chakra when he is older."

"What do you want me to do about that? Find a donor that could take weeks?"

"No, there is one in the village. The enzyme is found in Kyosuke's family."

"His father?" he somewhat snarled.

"Yes,"

"So you want me to track down a man who probably doesn't want anything to do with that boy?" Sasuke asked, his temper flaring.

"No, I need you to give blood."

"…I'm not his father."

She turned around and went to a filing cabinet labeled "H". She opened it and searched until she found the fail she needed, shut it and opened it. "He needs your blood because that boy is your son," she turned towards Sasuke and presented him with the file. It said on the tab; "Kyosuke Haruno", it was his medical file and had a recent picture of the seven year old boy.

He was Kyosuke.

That boy is Kyosuke.

That boy is Sasuke's son!

Sasuke felt his world spin out of control.

"Will you give him blood?"

"In a heartbeat." He answered automatically.

Hi, so it's almost over, and finally I update this story. I've been fighting a computer virus for months now and it's gone.

So Sasuke has found out that Kyosuke is his son and is going to save his life. What do ya think of that, not so stupid is he now? That boy was right in front of him for what…four chapters and it didn't even cross his mind that this boy looks exactly like him?

Thanks for reading and REVIEW please?
