Hi guys Chapter Twenty seven woop woop :-) Enjoy :-)

I would like to thank my Beta: MrNicholas

DISCLAIMER: SAME AS FIRST CHAPTER.

"As of now, this hospital is under quarantine."

Those words were spoken half an hour ago; every medical personnel executed the Fifths orders with well-trained efficiency. A checkpoint was set up outside the hospital's main entrance; the middle level of the hospital was for infected patients. Everyone in the building was being tested for the unknown virus, and so far only a handful of people in the building contracted the virus.

The sun was slowly rising over the horizon, warming the sleepy world with its warm rays. Birds began to sing their morning songs. Over at Konoha General Hospital the team in charge of blood work was pulling double shifts to get through the mounds of blood tests they had to have done ASAP. They were good medical ninja, but they couldn't pull miracles out of their arses. Not in the nine hour deadline they had at least. They had to pull in extra personnel from other departments just to cope.

Tsunade was working alongside the nurses on the middle floor going from the lab to ward three whenever she heard her radio crackle to life.

"Tsunade-sama could you come to isolation room two on the middle floor as soon as you have a chance please." requested a males voice.

"I'm on my way." She replied, and with that she left to her destination. When she reached isolation room two a young medic was waiting for her.

"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry to pull you away from your work but I have something to show you. This way." The medic welcomed, showing her the door. Together they walked into the room, closing the door behind them. Lying on the bed was Izumo Kamizuki. The blond medic stood there watching the rapid rise and fall of his chest, and noticed a breathing mask was used to try and help him breath.

"It's Izumo Kamizuki. About three hours ago he came in complaining of fatigue, and about an hour after that he could barely stand." reported the young medic, turning to the Sannin. "High fever, chest pain, respiratory distress. Sound familiar?"

"You're certain it's the same?"

"He's displaying identical symptoms as those who are now in ward three." confirmed the healer. "Whatever it is, it's spreading. Kotetsu Hagane brought him in and he too is being tested for the virus."

"Very well, notify me if his condition changes. Also; there's a new medication going around trying to fight the virus." The blonde told the medic-nin, walking out of the room back towards ward three. When she got there the nurses seemed to be happier than they have been all day. The hokage decided to find the Matron and ask her what was happening. Once she found the head nurse, she too looked more lively.

"Has something happened?" inquired the amber eyed Sannin. The Matron turned to her with a smile on her face.

"They are responding well with medication we have administered, even the ones in isolation." reported the Matron happily.

"That's the best news I've had all day. Keep me informed if anything changes." replied the blond, the corners of her mouth forming a small smile.

'I need to talk to Kotetsu.' the Fifth thought.

It was around mid-morning when Kotetsu was released from Isolation, his blood work having been negative. He received a message from the Hokage telling him to meet with her in the main office. Approaching the polished oak door, he knocked on it door twice.

"Enter!" came the muffled command. Taking a deep breath the bandaged Chūnin walked into the room, stopping a couple of feet away from the desk.

"You wanted to see me Hokage-sama?" he asked giving her a bow in respect. The medic looked at him with amber eyes.

"I did Kotetsu, as you undoubtedly know that Izumo is ill. I want you to remember what you were doing yesterday evening all the way to the early hours of this morning." instructed the Hokage, resting her chin on her hands as she waited for his answer.

"Last night me and Izumo were in the flying dragon having a few drinks, when Hoshimi and a few others came inside and we invited them over. They all looked like they needed it to be frank, so we talked, and had a laugh. Everyone was having a good time. Izumo noticed Hoshimi was tired so Izumo being the nice guy he was did his best to cheer her up. He got her to smile again and she joined in the games we were playing." He paused to gather everything he could remember before he continued. "After about twenty minutes or so she excused herself saying she had to get home to get to sleep for work. So we said our goodbyes to her and she went home."

"Did anyone else come in direct contact with either Hoshimi or any of the other medical staff?" asked the Fifth with a hint of urgency. Catching the urgency in her voice, he thought hard.

"A couple of people. Why do you ask?"

"Because there's a very high possibility that they may be infected with the same virus that Izumo has." explained the Sannin. "Can you remember if they stayed together after they left or did they split up?"

"We all split up once we said our goodbyes to each other, me and Izumo went back to his to crash and the others dispersed." By the look in his superior's eyes, he could tell that wasn't what she wanted to hear.

"Thank you Kotetsu you may leave."

Bowing to her he left. When the door closed she radioed Shizune.

"Shizune, I want you to locate and bring back the medics who helped heal Kakashi yesterday and put them in quarantine. If they don't come quietly you are authorized to use necessary force. Try to do it discreetly, the last thing we need is mass panic." ordered the Fifth. Shizune complied with the order and did what she was asked to do.

'This is going to be a lot of paperwork...Fuck it, if those old bats dare say anything on how I'm handling the situation they can shove their opinions right up their arses!' she thought darkly, counting down the hours until she get a visit from the old farts.

The intercom on the desk beeped showing she had an incoming call. Pressing the button it buzzed a bit before a voice filled the room.

"It's Matron Roka. We have a problem, Tsunade-sama. The patients which were on the mend have somehow been reinfected with the disease. We have no idea how since everyone was almost rid of the virus, but they have all been reinfected." informed the distressed Matron. "If this keeps happening we are going to start to losing this battle."

"Shit." muttered the Hokage. "Do what you can Matron, while I chase up those responsible for Diseases and Infections."

"Very well Ma'am." the intercom clicked off. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she pressed the intercom again and asked for the head of D&I. She only had to wait a couple of seconds before the head answered.

"What can I do for you Milady?"

"Have you made any progress with the disease?" inquired the blond waiting with bated breath, hoping that some good news would come out of this.

"Yes, we've pretty much ruled out bacterial infection at this point. We're treating it with an anti-viral cocktail." replied the researcher with a small amount of hope in his words.

"Good. I've just finished talking to Matron Roka in ward three, and from what she told me, the virus is starting to become immune to the medicine that we are treating the patients with." The Kunoichi told the researcher.

"I do know that it isn't unheard of for viruses to mutate and become immune to whatever is attacking it. Obviously we're dealing with something more than a garden variety super bug." supplied the researcher. "If you'll excuse me Tsunade-sama, I'm needed." the com died.

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, deep in thought. Everything around her was quiet until a knock on the door echoed through the office.

"Enter." She said. In came a slightly flushed Shizune. "How did it go?" The blonde asked.

"They came in quietly, no force was used." reported the brunette. "They are all being tested for the virus as we speak, and if it is positive then they will be put into quarantine." concluded the Jōnin. Another knock on the door pulled the occupants attention to the new comer. A young lady walked in with a file.

"I have the most recent blood work from Kakashi Hatake." informed the nurse handing Tsunade the file. She took it and read the contents.

"It seems we have found patient zero." revealed the Fifth. Handing the file over to her apprentice, who in turn read the results. "Shizune I'm sorry but I need you in the field following up their whereabouts. Draft up who you need to help you with this task, keep your radio on frequency nine." Tsunade instructed guilt showing in her eyes for working her apprentice too much. Shizune noticing the look she gave a forgiving smile to her master, and then left. Dismissing the nurse Tsunade went back to going over every report she had been given in the last two hours.

Sunlight streamed into the Inuzuka's Heirs bedroom, where he laid asleep spooning his mate. The bedroom door creaked open slowly. Tsume and Hana stuck their heads around the door.

"Awww, they look so happy." Hana whispered, watching the boy's sleep.

"Perfect blackmailing material." Her mum states mischievously, as she took out a camera.

"Mum! You can't do that, it's mean." The eldest sibling whispered harshly, trying to stop the older woman, but with little success.

"What? It's always handy to have persuading materials at your disposal, especially when you want something done or if they've done something they shouldn't have." chuckled the Matriarch evilly.

Tsume moved closer to the sleeping pair, Hana following close behind her. She held the camera at the ready. She got to the spot she wanted and brought the camera to her eye.

Flash

The moment forever captured on film, the moment was broken when the boys started to stir.

"Ohh shit, shit, shit." panicked Hana looking around for somewhere to hide. Tsume, seemingly calm on the outside, was also panicking slightly on the inside. Seeing the door was still open, she grabbed Hana and they scarpered, closing the door behind them quietly.

A groan escaped the brunette's lips as he regained consciousness. He tried to stretch, but found that he couldn't. Cracking an eye open he peered down at the pleasantly warm weight resting against his chest. The sun's rays reflected off of the golden spiky hair. Smiling Kiba ran his fingers through the soft locks, enjoying the feeling of the hair passing through his fingers.

"You like running your fingers through my hair don't you." stated a drowsy voice. Removing his hand from the soft hair, he placed it on the blonds clothed back.

"I do. Is that a crime to run my fingers through your sun kissed hair?" The brunette asked. A half retained snort came from the younger boy.

"What?" Kiba inquired.

"Sun kissed hair? That was really cheesy, even for you." teased Naruto enjoying the looked on the tattooed Chūnin. The moment went when nature decided to call. "As much as I want to stay here and keep teasing you, I really need to go."

Kiba looked really confused as to what the boy meant, watching him scramble out of bed. Realization dawned on his face as he got up himself. He put on some clothes and left some out for his mate. Walking to the door he shouted;

"I've felt some clothes out for you. I'll be down in the kitchen when you're ready!" Hearing a muffle OK in reply, the dog-nin made his way down the stairs. As he neared the bottom he noticed the two clan elders.

"Come down here pup." commanded the Elder male. Kiba, biting back a snarl, did as he was told. He knew why they were there. It was because he and his mate had sex outside the knowledge of the clan. Also his mate wasn't just anyone, it was the villages Jinjuriki, host of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. He bowed to them even though he didn't want to, but it was expected of him.

"We have been informed that you have a mate. A male no less." the elder stated with distaste clear in his voice. "And not just any male. You mated with Uzumaki Naruto, the villages demon child." the disgust clear on his face.

"He is not a demon child, he's a human being." snarled Kiba, his protectiveness shining through. This time the elderly women gave him a sympathetic look.

"My dear boy he lied to you. There's nothing even remotely human in his body." the moment those words reached Kiba's ear his anger flared. His resolve weakened, the urge to kill the two old fools in front of him steadily grew stronger.

"Speak about my mate like that again and I will rip your throats out." Kiba said, his canines bearing and his body shaking with uncontrollable anger. The older man watched the teen critically.

"You have a choice: To renounce your mate. To cut off your bond with the boy, and continue your duties as the clan heir and marry a girl worthy of baring your children." he continued ignoring the deep growling directed at him. "However if you choose to continue your relationship with him, then you will no longer be a member of this clan. You'll be an outcast, an omega, forever holding the dishonour of your family and the clan. Your last name will be stripped from you as well as all of your rights." He finished, silence filling the room. This particular punishment was rarely used, but only for those who would be a danger to the clan. Exile.

Over at the hospital an exhausted Tsunade sat at her sturdy oak table reading over the latest reports. The head of D&I came in and bowed to her.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Twelve infected hospital personal have been quarantined, four of them showing early symptoms. Now half of those people came in direct physical contact with Kakashi, however the rest of them didn't. Which means we should assume the worst case scenario." reported the researcher.

"Which is?" asked the Fifth, dreading the answer.

"The virus may be airborne and persistent."

"So we have no idea how many people this will ultimately effect." The hokage said, confirming her worst fears.

"No."
