Chapter 5

Kakashi's PoV

I stayed hidden in a tree overlooking a window into the bedroom. I saw Sonya finally emerge into the room with Naruto in her arms. She gently sat him on the bed, and changed him into his PJs. Then she quickly changed into her own PJs (which, by the way, I DIDN'T watch …) She crawled into the bed with Naruto, and I saw Naruto snuggle closer to her. I couldn't hear what he said, but I could read his lips, and saw that he had said 'goodnight mommy'. Sonya looked peaceful and happy, before she turned and wrapped him into her arms, replying back 'goodnight my baby boy'.

After making sure the perimeter was secure, and nothing was suspicious, I quickly made my way back to the Hokage's office. When I arrived, I proceeded to give him my report. At the end I concluded

"She seems content and happy, and so does Naruto at that. They both seem to be made for each." I paused a moment before continuing.

"I think Naruto has finally found himself the perfect mom. A woman who loves him, no matter what he has inside him. She doesn't care at all, and she seems to be willing to argue with anyone at that point." I sweat-dropped at this point before continuing.

"She also told me that if she ever caught Naruto reading any Icha Icha books, she would personally castrate me, and then kill me. Slowly … Painfully …" I shuddered, dreading the thought

The Hokage sensed my sincerity of my report, and my discomfort at her threat. He barked a laugh when he heard the last part.

"I agree with you Kakashi. I think Naruto is in safe hands. Tomorrow we'll discuss her citizenship. We'll also need to check her training. I would suggest getting a good night's sleep Kakashi, if we want to rate her fighting, we'll need to put her through some fighting. I'm figuring you or Gai would be good candidates."

I shuddered at the thought of encountering Gai tomorrow.

'He'll probably challenge me to something stupid. Like rock paper scissors again …'

But I would be looking forward to test out Sonya's skill. Any woman who can pick up Naomi single handed has to be extremely powerful. And extremely dangerous. I mentally shook myself of my thoughts before responding.

"Hai Hokage." I said with a small nod before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

I arrived at my own apartment and proceeded to get ready for bed. My last thoughts lingering on what a nice lady Sonya was …

Sonya's PoV

I slowly began to wake up to someone poking my face. Whoever they were, they were poking my face everywhere, particularly my face markings, my nose, and my forehead. I let out a small frustrated groan, and the poking abruptly stopped. I slowly let my eyes open, only to see a blur of yellow and blue hovering over me.

"Gahhh!" I gasped and shot my head up, which painfully collided with someone else. I heard a small squeak come from the yellow blur.

I grasped my wounded forehead before checking to see who I had hit. I gasped again when I saw Naruto grasping his own forehead, with an annoyed look on his face.

"Gah! Naruto sweety, I'm so sorry! Mommy didn't see you!" I exclaimed

I quickly looked him over to make sure I hadn't broken anything. He seemed fine from apart from a large red mark on his forehead where I had hit him. He just gave me a toothy grin.

"That's ok mommy!" He assured me

I felt like a bit of a retard, forgetting that I had forgotten that Naruto was sleeping in the same bed as me. Before I could continue with my thoughts Naruto broke them for me

"Mommy, why do you wook wike you're crying?" He asked, eyes wide with curiosity

I giggled at the way he replaced his 'l' with a 'w'. He did the same thing with 'r'.

"I'm not crying Naruto, those are just facial markings. I was born with them."

His eyebrows knitted together with confusion. Then his eyes got really big and his mouth formed a little 'o'.

"Do I have any!" He asked excitedly

It was my turn to scratch my head.

"Errr, you kind of do, but yours aren't colored like mine. Here, c'mon I'll show you."

I picked Naruto up with me, and carried him into the bathroom. I sat him down on the bathroom counter, in front of the mirror.

"See? You've got little lines on your face. They kinda remind me of whiskers."

Naruto studied himself a bit longer, his fingers brushing across his whisker marks. Then he frowned and looked up at me.

"But I want marks like yours!" He pouted

I chuckled at him, and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah, well, maybe when you're older you can get some tattoos. But I like your marks Naruto. They're cute, and they're unique. They're something that no one else has, and it makes them super special."

Naruto pondered this for a bit. He looked a bit relieved that I told him he was unique. But then I could see the fire of determination behind his eyes, and he looked me straight in the face.

"Pwinky Pwomise!" He yelled, while holding out his pinky finger.

I looked surprised at his outburst. Then I laughed, and I wrapped my own pinky around his.

"Pinky Promise." I swore
