Chapter 4

Recap:

Kushina, where are you? Whoever did harm to you will regret the day they were ever born. Minato thought to himself. He was so deep in thought he didn't realize his sensei had stopped. Right in front of the Emergency Room entrance of Konoha Hospital.

Minato's eyes widened and he sprinted inside…

Konoha Hospital, Intensive Care Unit

Ugh…Kushina groaned silently. She slowly slid her eyes open. As soon as Kushina's vision cleared and her hearing came back, she was bombarded with a shrill beeping noise. The noise became louder and more frequent with every passing second. God damn it shut it off…ugh my head hurts! Kushina silently screamed.

Determined to stop the annoying beeping noise, Kushina turned her head and saw an heart monitor, beeping fast. She slowly lifted her arm, clinched her fist, and in seconds the infernal thing was in pieces. Kushina sighed a breath of relief, her headache started dissipating. A low chuckle came from the doorway, and Kushina looked and saw Tsunade standing there with a small smile on her face.

"I see that you really hate me Tsunade. Putting me in a place like this…" Kushina mumbled, still annoyed at the heart monitor. "What did Minato do this time Kushina?" Tsunade asked. "It doesn't matter what he did or didn't do. I am here now and now I'm leaving!" Kushina snapped. She started pulling the many chords and Ivs off her arms and chest. She had them almost completely off when a strong head gripped her wrist. Kushina's face immediately contorted in anger and she looked up, knowing Tsunade was standing there. She had the same look on her face as Kushina. "Your not leaving. Not until he's ok." Tsunade pointed to her stomach. Kushina quickly placed her hand on it and sighed in relief when her kid kicked her in the ribs.

She looked at her hand with a peaceful expression. You always have to kick me there don't ya? Well I'm glad your ok kid. Kushina thought to herself. She quickly remembered what had happened and quickly looked up at Tsunade. "Tsunade what happened to him?!" she asked in a rush. "Hush. He's fine now." Tsunade replied, "When your stress levels went off the charts, some fluid leaked into your uterus, and put extreme pressures on the baby. Luckily we got there in time. If we hadn't you would've-" She was cut off by Kushina's hand. "Don't say it. It didn't happen so don't even think those words. That will never happen to my child." Kushina said in a cold voice.

Tsunade had never heard Kushina speak in such a cold voice. She, of course shut her mouth, until she remembered the reason why she had come to Kushina's room in the first place. "Kushina I have to give you this," she held up a long syringe filled a dark blue-greenish liquid. "Now if you take it without fight then I might consider letting you leave earlier." Tsunade said tersely. "I told you Tsunade, I am leaving now. Whether you give the ok or not." Kushina replied with anger. Tsunade looked into Kushina's firey eyes. Kushina also looked back into Tsunade's unwavering ones. Their battle of the wills was interrupted by the door slamming open.

And there stood…
