Don't own Naruto… just her kids.
-Last time-
"Um, hello how may I help you?" Naru asked in a shaky voice that did not go un-notices by the strange lady.
-Now-
Anko was shocked when the door opened to reveal a young woman, barely out of her teens, standing nervously on the other side. If anything she had expected to find a retired shinobi. Realising that she had been silent far too long Anko gave a small cough and tried to look behind the women. With a shake of the head Anko looked back at the lady who looked about to sprint off at the drop of a hat.
"Ehh, hi." She finally answered. "I just came to see who lived here. Not many people come into the forest other than me because they find it dangerous. I have been away on a long term mission, so when I saw someone had fixed up the old shack and seemed to be living in it I thought I might come check out my new neighbour." Anko gave a small laugh. "To be honest I thought you were going to be some old retired shinobi. I'm Anko by the way."
Naru stared for a while but eventually, after deeming Anko no threat, answer the unasked. "M-My name is T-Tepai, Uzu Tepai." She said in a small voice still nervous, very unusual for her normal self. Suddenly a soft cry pieced the air, Naru froze before quickly turning around, unintentionally leaving the front door open. "Shh, baby it's okay mummy's here. Come on angel I can't have you waking your brother. Shh."
Anko looked on in shock, this girl looked barely out of her teens and yet here she was alone in the most dangerous part of the village with two babies, feeling bad about waking the baby Anko coughed to once again get the girls attention. "Sorry I didn't mean to disturb you," Anko looked around and notice all the bags and boxes laying on the floor. "To make it up to you let me offer my services as a babysitter while you put this stuff away and have a rest. You look exhausted." The girl looked ready to collapse at any moment.
Tepai was really tired but to leave her babies with a complete stranger was a bit too much of a risk. Anko noting her hesitance tried again, "I'll stay where you can see me the whole time, just you look ready to faint." Seeing the logic in her point Tepai nodded.
-Hokage's Office –
"Hokage-sama I'm really worried about Naru she hasn't been in class since we came back from the holidays last week. Before that she hadn't been herself either." Iruka told the aged Hokage, looking worried himself he asked.
"What do you mean 'not herself'?" he looked Iruka in the eye concern written right across his face.
"She has been more withdrawn, quite, seems to finch when you get too close to her. She has actually been studying and no pranks have been performed in over six months, SIX. Usually after six hours at least five pranks would be pulled. It's like her personality has done a complete one eighty." Iruka finished, the Hokage's face frowned in concern.
