Part 37
"You mean it?" Rue asked Gaara once she heard his opinion.
He nodded, a small smile graced his features. Temari smiled as well.
"We'll leave in two days." Temari said as she stood.
Rue nodded.
"It'll do. Just wish I could figure something else out first." She told them.
"What is it? Maybe we can help." Temari said.
Rue closed the door and she and Gaara went to the table. Rue held up a jar of herbs and the mystery flecks.
"What's that?" Gaara asked.
"It was what was in the stuffed tanuki. It came out when you impaled it. It's a mixture of herbs associated with protection and love. But there's also this other stuff that I don't recognize." Rue explained pointing to a cluster of gold.
"Gold dust?" Temari gasped upon seeing it.
"What?" Rue asked. She and Gaara looked surprised at his sister.
"Gold dust. It's something our father uses." Temari explains.
"Are you telling me that Lord Kazekage mixed herbs and gold dust and filled a tanuki with the combination for me? Why would he do that?" Rue asked.
"Maybe he thought you were his lovechild or something." Temari suggested, making Gaara scowl.
"Not likely. They didn't meet until after she was already pregnant with me. Also, mom wasn't his secret lover. She was his confidant." Rue said surprising them both.
"Then maybe to keep the part of Shukaku within you at bay?" Gaara questioned.
Rue looked at Gaara. She didn't recall telling him about that. Then she turned and eyed Temari.
"He deserved to know!" Temari cracked quickly.
Rue made a face at her then shrugged.
"Yea I guess… I think you might be right Gaara." She said looking at Gaara again.
Later Temari left, leaving Rue alone with Gaara again. The two sat on Naruto's bed. Rue leaning against Gaara, his gourd on the floor by the bed.
"Has it's chakra affected you in any way?"
"Not really… Though when I got home to my parents bodies… I saw the babies."
"Babies?"
"Yea. Mom was going to have twins."
"How did you see them?"
"I just touched the baby bump. And there they were, clear as day. Gray and well a bit too big to be a month and a half along. But then it felt as though something burned me."
"Strange… Wait, they were gray?"
"Well they'd been dead for quite some time by the time I'd got there."
"Oh…" Gaara nodded slowly, a strange remorseful expression claimed his face.
But before he could say anything, there was a knock at the door. Rue looked at Gaara and shrugged before she got up and crossed the apartment. She opened the door slowly
Standing there, dressed in white and looking just as confused as Rue, were two medical ninja.
"Ruby Arita?" One asked.
"Yes… Is something wrong?" She answered.
"Can you come with us… please?" The other asked.
It was hard to tell but they were both women. She wasn't sure if she'd met them before. But she nodded and turned to Gaara.
"Gaara? Can you go back to where you're staying? I don't want you to wait here alone when this may take a while." Rue told him. The alternative was to invite him to come as well. But the woman looked like it was important.
He nodded and strapped his gourd onto his back. Then he kissed Rue's cheek and left.
Rue blushed and smiled softly, allowing the women to take her to the hospital.
She followed quietly as they took her to a private. It was warm with wired everywhere. And in the middle of it all…
Rue gasped and trembled.
In the middle of the room were two cribs. Each had a pale infant inside. Tiny infants with Rue's father's noses, and her mother's cheekbones.
Rue looked at the medics for an explanation.
"When your parent's bodies were brought it, a strong pulse was coming from your mother's abdomen. These two were alive, despite your parent's deaths." One explained.
"Why wasn't I notified sooner?! My parents died two months ago." Rue demanded. Her voice shaking.
"We weren't sure they'd survive a second time. We didn't want to get your hopes up. But we realize now their perfectly healthy and strong six month old infants." The medic said.
"Six months? Mom just found out three months ago that she was pregnant." She sounded confused. More so then she already was. She stared at the babies. She wouldn't admit it here but her touch had brought them.
"It's not an uncommon occurrence." The first medic told her.
But Rue wasn't paying attention. She continued to stare at the infants. They were six months old. One had wispy white hair while the other had tufts of black hair. Their eyes were closed but Rue pictured them with eyes like hers and tears fell down her cheeks.
"What are their genders so I can at least name them?" She asked.
"We've just been calling them the Arita Twins. But the one with white hair is a girl and the one with black hair is a boy."
"All the more reason for me to name them. I don't know what my mother wanted to name them. But I'm calling them Ias and Taryn."
"Very well." The second medic said writing it down.
Rue spent the rest of the night with her siblings.
