SAKURA'S P.O.V

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow!"

Naruto whined as I cleaned the side of his face from where Kakashi had punched him.

"Baby."

Sasuke said from behind us and Naruto growled at him.

"She's just putting antibiotic on your face. It can't hurt that bad."

Sasuke said, amusement clear in his voice.

"Boys, play nice."

I said and they glared at each other until I pressed the cloth to Naruto's face again and he yowled.

"Baby."

Sasuke said and Naruto glared at him.

"Prude."

"Cry baby."

"Asshole."

"Outsider."

"Stick up the ass little prick."

Naruto said and Sasuke's eyes widened before narrowing again.

"Whiny little bitch."

"Asshole."

"Dumbass pea brain."

"Attention seeking, thinks you're better than everyone else, sad little mama's boy!"

"Nine tailed bitch!"

"Enough!"

I snapped and they both looked at me in shock.

"I will not listen to my boyfriend fight with my best friend. Either shut the hell up or get the fuck out of my house!"

I yelled and they both looked at the floor. Their chakras told me they were ashamed and embarrassed.

"Sorry Saki."

Sasuke said, using the nickname he'd given me trying to get on my good side.

"Sorry."

Naruto said and I sighed and rubbed my temple.

'I can feel a headache coming on.'

There was suddenly very frantic knocking at my door. I sighed before going to answer it. I opened the door and couldn't believe what I saw.

GAARA'S P.O.V

Sakura opened the door and her eyes widened when she saw Rin in my arms.

"What happened?"

She asked, shock and concern in her voice.

"We're not sure, but we need someone who can help."

Temari said and Sakura nodded.

"Not here."

She said as she ran back into the room. She came back to the doorway with a black bag hanging from her shoulder and Sasuke and Naruto. When Naruto saw Rin his eyes widened.

"What-"

"Not now Naruto."

Sakura said and he instantly shut up.

"Come on, we can take her to her old apartment. It's big enough to hold everyone and it'll give me plenty of room to work."

She said and I nodded before she shut her door and started leading the way.

We walked across the street and stopped in front of a door. Sakura lifted the sign on the side of the wall and pulled out a key.

"She always hid a spare."

She said at Temari's curious gaze. We walked inside and Sakura told me to lay Rin down on her bed. I did so and Sakura instantly started getting to work. She checked her pulse, and took some blood.

"Gaara, come here a moment."

She called and I walked back into the bedroom.

"What is it?"

I asked.

"I know you two already know this, but I just thought you'd want some kind of proof. Medically speaking I mean."

She said and I looked at her confused.

"What are you-"

"It's in her blood, she is definitely pregnant Gaara. There's no doubt about that."

Sakura said and I sighed in relief. It's not that I doubted Rin, but for some reason it was a relief to be told by someone with medical experience.

"Do you know what caused her to pass out?"

I asked and she shook her head.

"No I don't, but I think I know someone who might and you're in luck that she just so happens to be arriving soon."

Sakura said and I looked at her confused.

"Lady Tsunade."

She said with a smile and I knew instantly that she was right. Tsunade was the best medical ninja in the nations.

"When will she get here?"

I asked,

"She should be getting here at any moment. I'll send Naruto and Sasuke to the Hokage building and tell her to come here."

"No need, I'll have Temari go."

I said, but Sakura shook her head.

"She needs to know I requested her or she won't come. Temari can go, but Naruto will have to go with her."

She said and I nodded.

"Alright, whatever gets her here quickest."

I said and she nodded before walking into the other room. I heard the door open and close and Temari and Naruto's chakras getting farther away.

I turned to look at Rin and sighed.

'What could have caused her to pass out? It seemed like she was in pain before she did too, but why?'

I wondered and sighed when I couldn't think of anything.

TSUNADE'S P.O.V

"I thank you for your hospitality Sarutobi, but why have you invited me here?"

I asked and heard him sigh.

"Sharp as always Tsunade."

He said and I smiled at my old friend.

"I've asked you here to discuss a grave matter. I have been Hokage for a while now, and I am getting too old. I asked you here to see how you'd feel about taking over as Hokage should anything happen to me."

He said and my eyes widened as I realized what he was saying.

"Sarutobi, I couldn't-"

"Tsunade, you love this village as much as I do, I have no doubt that you'd be a wonderful Hokage. I'm not asking you to say yes right now, just think about it. Besides, I don't plan on dying any time soon."

He said with a smile and I returned it automatically, but didn't mean it.

'Me, be Hokage? I don't have a problem with it, I mean I've helped Tobi here with his duties before so it wouldn't be hard for me. But, the villagers that love him, would they be willing to accept me as his replacement?'

"Don't worry so much about it Tsunade. Enjoy your stay in the village."

He said before dipping his head and dismissing me.

I stood up and slowly walked to the door. I couldn't believe Tobi had asked me to be his replacement should anything happen to him. I sighed as I reached the street outside.

'What am I going to do with you Tobi?'

I thought with a smile. He knew as well as I did that I loved this village and that I'd do whatever it takes to keep it and it's villagers safe. He knew that I'd take his offer.

'You just better not die anytime soon Tobi.'

I thought before heading towards the apartment I'd been given to stay in.

I hadn't even walked two feet before someone called my name. I turned and saw a blonde haired boy in an orange and white jacket and lines that looked like whiskers on his face running this way with a blonde haired girl wearing a purple fighting kimono with a few tears in it.

"Naruto?"

I asked as they reached me.

"Lady Tsunade…Sakura needs…..your help….with a….patient."

Naruto said, trying to catch his breath. At the sound of my best student's name I was running after Naruto and the other girl through the village. They led me to an apartment and slowed down as they reached room 169.

Naruto opened the door and the blonde girl walked in first, I followed, then Naruto closed the door once he walked in.

"It's this way."

The girl said and I followed her through the almost bare apartment to the bedroom. I saw a bunch of kids in the living room as we passed. I saw Sakura sitting in a chair next to the bed that a black and red haired girl was lying on. When she saw me she shot up and hugged me.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Sakura yelled and I smiled as I hugged her back.

"Hey Kura. So, I heard from a certain nine tailed birdie that you need my help. What in the world could you not figure out? I taught you practically everything I know."

I said as I pulled back and looked her in the eyes.

"It's my friend, she passed out for no reason and I can't figure out why. I was hoping you'd be able to find out."

"I'll see what I can do."

I said and saw relief spread across her face.

I walked past her towards the black and red haired girl, but was stopped by a wall of sand. I looked around, but didn't see anybody.

"Gaara let her through. She knows more than I do, she may be able to find out what's wrong with Rin."

Sakura said and my eyes widened as the red haired Chunin walked out of the shadows. My eyes widened in shock when he growled at me. One because the last time I'd seen Gaara he didn't seem to care about anyone, and two because I'd heard stories about the girl named Rin. She was the host to the two tailed fox spirit, one of the most skilled ninja the Leaf Village had ever seen, one of the greatest and most loyal ANBU members ever to have joined, and she had no problem killing someone if they messed with the people she loved.

Gaara walked over to the bed, his glare never letting up and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"You hurt her and I'll kill you."

He said in a deadly serious voice and I had no doubt in my mind that he'd do just that.

I nodded and his sand fell and allowed me to get closer to Rin. I checked her vitals and was confused.

'She's healthy as a horse, there should be no reason for her to have passed out.'

I thought as I looked over her for any wounds. I sent my chakra over her body and was shocked when I felt a small chakra push against mine from Rin's stomach. It was a mix of Gaara's chakra and Rin's.

'She's pregnant!'

"What is your relationship with her? If you don't mind my asking."

I said towards Gaara and he narrowed his eyes at me before turning his gaze on Rin. I noticed instantly how his features softened.

"I see."

I said and he glared at me again.

"I see you're also very protective of her, that's a good thing considering she's pregnant with your child."

I said and he looked at me surprised.

"I do know what I'm doing."

I said and he just looked back at Rin.

"So what's wrong with Rin?"

A voice asked from the doorway and I turned to see a brown haired boy with brown eyes. He and the others from the living room were looking at me for any kind of news.

Suddenly, Rin's chakra turned troubled and I turned to see her writhing on the bed as if she was in pain.

"What's wrong with her!"

Gaara asked and I raced over to her. I felt the chakra of her child freaking out and instantly I understood everything.

"The child is freaking out and it's causing her pain."

I said and Gaara's eyes widened in shock.

"Why is it-"

"It seems fine around you, but when the others got near it started to feel threatened. They need to leave now!"

I said and Sakura pushed them away. They protested, but when Gaara growled at them to leave before he threw them out they practically ran back into the other room.

Sakura shut the door and Rin's and the child's chakra calmed down almost instantly. I pressed my chakra against the child's and it flared a bit, but when it realized I meant it no harm, calmed down again.

"She should wake up soon. The reason she passed out in the first place was because someone caused the child to feel threatened."

I said and Gaara looked at me.

"But how? It's barely a day along."

"Your child will be different. It'll be a mix between the two tailed fox spirit housed within Rin and the one tailed sand raccoon spirit you house within yourself. It ahs made it sensitive to the chakra around it."

I said and understanding dawned on him.

"How long will it last?"

He asked and I smiled at him.

"Not all that long. It only feels threatened because it's so early in the pregnancy. It should calm down anywhere between a month or two."

I said and felt Gaara's chakra relax.

I turned to leave but stopped when Gaara said my name.

"Thank you."

He said and I smiled.

"No problem, just keep an eye on her."

I said before leaving the room to inform those waiting for some news of Rin's condition.
