Naruto had managed to keep her eyes and hidden by wearing her mask and keeping her eyes downcast the whole way through cleaning. She broke off from working early so that she could get some sleep. It wasn't that she felt like she needed sleep, she just wanted to sleep. In her room, she made sure to sleep on her stomach so that her eyes were covered. She wasn't sure when she would tell her father about the second stage of the curse mark but she knew that she had to do it soon. While she was thinking, sleep crept up behind her and she was out like a light.

There was darkness everywhere. No light anywhere. Naruto stood and looked into the darkness, unsure of what to do. An evil chuckle came from nowhere but from everywhere at the same time. Kazar appeared in front of her.

"Don't trust anyone. You must trust only yourself. Everyone else will betray you but you will never betray yourself. Everyone else will hurt you but you will never hurt you. You are the best friend you will ever have. You don't need anyone else." He said.

"Kazar, get away from me!" Naruto yelled. Kazar only laughed louder. All of a sudden, Naruto wasn't in the darkness, she as on the streets of Konoha and Kazar was chasing after her. She ran and ran, not daring to look over her shoulder at the man who didn't cease laughing. She was almost at Hokage Tower when...

Naruto woke up. She was almost at Hokage Tower! She must have sleep walked. Wow. She quickly used the Hiraishin to get back to her room where she washed her face in the bathroom. She wondered if the second stage of the curse mark was the cause of the dream. The dream had scared the shit out of her and she wasn't sure she wanted to go back to sleep so she settled for practicing her already perfect chakra control.

In the morning Kushina walked to her daughter's room. She had good news to share with her daughter after such a tragic attack on Konoha. Kushina hoped it would lift her daughter's spirit after tha attack. Kushina knocked politely on her daughter's door. "Come in," Naruto called from the other side. Kushina opened the door and stepped in, shutting it behind her. She walked up to Naruto who was sitting on her bed playing with a ball of blue chakra. Kushina knelt in front of her when she saw her daughter's eyes. "Naruto, what is wrong with your eyes? Is it from the curse mark?" Kushina asked.

Naruto looked up at her mum's worried face. "Uh, yeah... It is."

"Have you told your father yet?" Kushina asked, placing a hand on the side of her daughter's masked face.

"No, but I will, mum. Please don't tell him before I do. I'm still getting used to seeing my new look." Naruto said.

"I won't, honey. But I have some majorly amazing news to tell you!" Kushina said, a radiant smile breaking out on her face.

"Spill." Naruto said, seeing the excitement on her mother's face made her grin.

Kushina took a deep breath, ready to drop the bomb on her child. "You're going to have a baby brother!"

Naruto's eyes widened and then she looked down at her mother's stomach and he saw that it was slightly bulging. Naruto jumped up off the bed, pulling her mother with her into a standing position. She did a happy dance and her mother joined in. This truly was something to be happy about. "Mum, oh my goodness, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Naruto said, pulling her mother into a hug.

Kushina smiled. "Because I wanted to wait until I could tell you the gender of the baby. And you are always so observant, I thought you would have noticed already." Kushina said. Kushina was over the moon when she had found out about the pregnancy. She and Minato had tried for a baby for so long after they had Naruto but it never worked and they gave up. Then to find out that she was pregnant made her ecstatic. Both Kushina and Minato were in their early thirties so it wasn't too late for them to have another child.

"Have you told dad yet?" Naruto asked, pressing her hand to her mother's tummy, not believing that there was a baby in there.

"No, I didn't tell him for the same reason I didn't tell you but I will when he gets back from work this arvo." Kushina said.

"When is the baby due?" Naruto asked.

"March twenty-second. Seven months to go." The mother and her daughter continued speaking for some time until there was a knock at the front door. Naruto went to get it, allowing her mother to go and do whatever she wished to do.

Sasuke was on the doorstep when Naruto opened the door. Her heart didn't know whether to speed up up completely stop at the sight of him. A thousand different feeling rushed through her. "Hi." Sasuke said, shyly.

"Hi." Naruto said. She felt guilty and regretted doing what she did. Why did she walk away from him when he obviously needed her support? Yes, he had told her to leave him but why did she have to listen? She pushed all of that out of her mind and launched herself into his arms, tears already flooding her red eyes. "I'm sorry, Sasuke." She mumbled into his shoulder.

"No, I'm sorry, Naruto." Sasuke said, wrapping his arms tightly around the girl he had missed with all his heart. Sasuke too had tears streaming down his face but they had every right to fall. The two ninja just hugged and hugged, not wanting to release their hold on each other. Not willing to let each other go again.
