Chapter 5

"Th-the Kyuubi.. I sealed inside him?" I question. "Shush, other people are coming. Now, Matsu, for now, can I put you in charge of Naruto. Take care of him." Hiruzen says. ".. Yes, sir.." I reply, taking hold of Naruto. He stopped crying as soon as I had hold of him. I looked down at his peaceful quiet face. 'This baby.. Is dangerous..'

I carried Naruto everywhere I went for the remainder of the day. I waited outside my house for mom. I figured she must be at the hospital or something. Naruto was sound asleep, until he coughed and woke himself up and cried. "Shhh... It's okay Naruto... Go back to sleep.." I whispered. He stared up into my eyes and seemed comforted and went back to sleep. "Minato.. Kushina... Why did you seal it in him? He's going to be dangerous. I hope this seal is strong." I mutter, staring down at the peacefully sleeping Naruto. "When people find out they're going to hate you. Minato, Kushina, why did you do this to your own son?"

"Mom..." The sun was going down and I was getting worried. I get up and go to the hospital.

"Excuse me, is there an Oshiro Mai here?" I ask the receptionist. "Hm, let me check." She replies, swinging around on her chair and flicking through some files.
I begin to lower my hopes, I know it would be bad to get them up too high and hear- "Nope, sorry dear. I'm afraid no one by the name of Oshiro Mai has been checked in." She says. I lower my head and nod. "Right.. Thanks anyway." I sigh. "I'm truly sorry." She says. "No, it's not your fault." I say then leave.

I walk down the streets with Naruto still in my hands. "Matsu?" I turn around and see Kakashi. "What?" I ask. ".. I'm sorry.." He says. "About what?" I ask. "I heard about your mom.. I'm sorry to hear about it." He says. I turn around and keep walking. I hear him run up beside me. ".. Who's baby?" He asks. "His name is Naruto.." I reply. "Naruto? Naruto who?" Kakashi asks. "Uzumaki.." I reply. "Uzumaki? An orphan is he?" Kakashi asks. "Yes.. I've been put in charge of him." I explain. "... I could help.. If you want me to.." Kakashi says, looking at Naruto. "Why? I thought you hated me." I huff. "Still clung on that?" "Yes." I hiss. Naruto moans and grips onto my shirt. "But I don't care anymore. If you hate me still then don't bother coming near me." I say. "No, Matsu, I don't hate you.. I just said that because I was angry.. But you were annoying." Kakashi sighs. "..." Naruto grizzles as he wakes up. "Shhh.." Naruto starts bawling out. "Ugh, Kakashi I need to go." I say and walk off on him, trying to calm Naruto down.

'Naruto.. If you weren't Minato's son, I wouldn't be taking care of you. I'd just let you die. Because if you died, the Kyuubi will perish as well. But, Minato and Kushina would want me to take extra good care of you, so I will.. Though I still don't trust you much.'

I manage to calm him down, but he didn't go back to sleep. I go by the store to get some bottles, diapers etc.
Back home I heat up a bottle of milk for him.
As I feed him I think about my mother. "I'll be like a mother to you, Naruto.. But.. I need to know that seal is secure.."

As Naruto finishes his bottle I rest him over my shoulder and burp him. After the first burp I heard him giggle, it made me smile. "Amused by your own noises eh?" I say.
There was a knock on the door, and it didn't stop. It began to upset Naruto, so I held him in my arms and answered the door with an unhappy expression. "Kakashi if you-Oh, Guy.. Come in." I say. Guy gives off a concerned expression. "Has Kakashi done something?" He asks. "No." I reply. Guy then noticed Naruto, his eyes buldged out of his head as he frantically danced around in shock. "Wh-wh-what's with the baby!" He asks. "Shush! You'll make him cry, being loud like that." I gush. Guy settles down and comes inside. We sit in the living room. "You didn't say you were-" "Guy, he's not mine!" I gush. ".. Then who's?" He asks. "I cannot say for his safety. But his name is Uzumaki Naruto." I explain. "So why do you have him?" Guy asks. "I've been put in charge of him." I reply. Guy leans over the wide-awake Naruto and smiles at him. Naruto got freaked out by his smile and started crying. I roll my eyes and nudge Guy away.
"What did I do?" Guy asks. "You got too close." I lie.

I calm him down, eventually.
"So how come, of all people, you got put in charge of him?" Guy asks. "I dunno, I suppose it's because I was there at the time, but it's the third's order, so I can't refuse." I say. "That would make you his mom. So would that make me his dad?" Guy asks. I frown at him. "Guy.. I'm sure I can look after him myself." I say. "But I can help you-" "I'm fine, Guy." I say. "I will make sure little Naruto will enjoy eating the most spiciest foods and become just like me!" Guy announces. "... Why don't you save that for our child." I say, cuddling up to him. I felt him tense up. "O-our ch-ch-child?"
"Erm, it's fine, we don't have to-" "My own child! That would be just awesome! I would devote every day of my life into nurturing and raising him!" Guy announces, standing up with his fist in the air. I blush slightly. "What if it's a girl?" I ask. Guy turns around and give me a thumbs up. "Then I'll take twice as much care of her!" Guy says. I couldn't help but giggle. Little Naruto, wide-awake in my arms was utterly confused about what was going on, he stared up at me with a blank expression. "Lets just wait a few more years. I feel that 21 is too young to have a baby." I say. Guy salutes. "There is no hurry at all! We've got Naruto." Guy says. ".. I've got Naruto." I chuckle.
