The room was loud with the conversational murmurings of people who were just trying to distract themselves from the present situation outside. For a massive area, it sure seemed small to Shikamaru. He felt cramped even though there was no one around him. His head throbbed. The sounds felt a thousand times louder, but he knew it wasn’t actually that loud.

Shikamaru put his hand on his face, covering one eye, and squeezed his head as if to keep it from exploding. He heard laughter to the side and squeezed his eyes shut even more. ‘How can they laugh! How can they be so cheerful when people are dying just outside these wall?’ A tear slipped down his cheek.

“Shikamaru?”

Shikamaru opened his eyes and saw Kurenai staring at him. He felt tired. He closed his eyes and laid his head against the wall. He didn’t want to hear her sympathies, to hear her say how sorry she was. All the sorrys in the world couldn’t bring her back, so what was the point.

“Shikamaru?” Kurenai said again.

Shikamaru opened his eyes halfway and turned to look at her. “What?” he asked barely above a whisper.

Before she could say a word, Sakura walked up to them. “I just heard that the enemy is retreating. The fight is over,” she said.

“That’s great,” Kurenai said happily.

Shikamaru just closed he eyes again.

“Yeah,” Sakura agreed. “We’ll wait here until someone says it’s safe to come out though.”

“They still have to put out all the fires?” Sanako asked. “I saw a lot of flames when we were filing in here.”

“Yea,” Sakura said. “They also want to make sure the buildings are secure.”

Shikamaru tensed.

“Apparently there were a lot of buildings collapsing out there,” Sakura continued, not realizing how it was affecting Shikamaru.

Shikamaru squeezed his fists tighter, trying to keep the tears inside, but failing.

“Sakura,” Kurenai said.

“Yeah?” Sakura asked. Kurenai tilted her head toward Shikamaru and Sakura’s eyes went wide. “Oh, Shikamaru, I’m so sorry. I…”

“Just forget it,” Shikamaru said as he attempted to stand up. Sakura walked forward and helped him to his feet, but Shikamaru shoved her away as soon as he was steady.

He walked away from them and toward the entrance, ignoring their calls for him to come back. He stopped at the entrance, leaned his head on the wall, and stared at the village below. He scanned the village for the place Temari’s body was buried and just stared. He continued to stare at that spot until a movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention.

Shikaku was making his way up the mountain side, along with a few others, and when he saw Shikamaru looking at him, changed his direction. The others continued in through the entrance to find their loved ones and friends.

“Shikamaru…”

“Did you find her?” Shikamaru cut him off.

Shikamaru looked at him sadly. “Yes.”

The tears flowed down Shikamaru’s face again and he closed his eyes. “It should’ve been me. I should’ve been the one to protect her.” His knuckles were turning white because of how tight he was clenching his fists.

Shikaku placed a hand on Shikamaru’s shoulder. “I got her to the hospital…” Shikaku began. Shikamaru looked at him hopeful. “…but she was in bad shape. She wasn’t moving or breathing, and Lady Tsunade didn’t sound too confident that she could do anything.”

Shikamaru looked away from Shikaku and toward the hospital. He felt tired. So very tired. And numb.

NNNNNNNNNNNNN

Lee stood in the doorway and just stared at his son in the glass box. He slowly walked over to it and stared down at Taro. He hadn’t seen Taro since Shizune whisked him away three hours ago. After that he hadn’t heard anything about Taro.

He looked around the room and saw a chair in the corner. He went over, grabbed it, and placed it next to the box his son was in. He sat down and moved his face closer to the box. It made him sad to see the wires and tubes hooked up to his son, and wondered why it was even necessary to do that to him, but no one was around to ask.

‘Is it because he was born early? I remember Kiba saying something about his kids looking like this because they were born too early.’

He reached into the box and pulled the blanket up closer to Taro’s chin. He smiled. He was glad they let Taro keep the blanket Tenten gave him.

“Lee, what are you doing in here?”

Lee turned around and saw Shizune walking towards him. “I wanted to see Taro.”

“Lee, why didn’t you ask someone to bring you here? Your body is still extremely weak from the birth,” Shizune said stopping beside him.

“I did not wish to bother them. They were busy taking care of the injured that were coming in. I figured they could use my room more than I could. I…”

“Stop right there,” Shizune interrupted him. Lee stared at her a bit shocked. “You just had your baby, Lee. It usually takes a woman a couple days to just feel like moving around again, and with you being male, we need to keep an eye on you to make sure you don’t have any complications.”

“Complications?” Lee asked not quite understanding.

“Yes. We have no idea how having a baby will affect your body. We need to continue observing you to make sure there are no problems.”

“But the nurse that checked me over and took care of my wound said that I was fine. There was no trace of the womb and she said that if she hadn’t seen me the way I was before she never would’ve believed I was pregnant.”

“Yeah, I saw the results of her exam on you, but we still need to be cautious. Plus, that serum is still running through your veins.”

“Can you not just give me the antidote that you gave to Asuma and Guy Sensei?”

“Lady Tsunade wants to check you over before we do,” she explained.

“Then why has she not been to see me?”

“She’s with Temari.”

Lee could tell something was wrong by the way she said that. “What has happened?”

“Temari was crushed under a falling building while trying to get to the mountain side.”

“What? Is Shikamaru ok?” Lee asked.

“I think so. The way Shikaku explained it, Temari pushed Shikamaru out of the way. He said Asuma was there too and that Asuma took Shikamaru to the mountain side. So I would say he is.”

Lee looked down sadly. “I see.”

Shizune looked around and saw a wheelchair in the corner of the room. She went over and brought it back to Lee. “Come on. Let’s get you back to your room so you can rest.”

“But,” Lee said and looked over at Taro, “I wish to stay with Taro.”

“I understand, but right now I need to get back to the other patients and I don’t need to be worrying about you. I promise, once things calm down, I’ll bring you back to visit him.”

Lee reached down and ran his finger over Taro’s cheek, which caused Taro to stir a bit. “Very well.”

“Thank you,” Shizune said.

Lee sat down in the wheelchair and watched Taro until Shizune turned him around.

NNNNNNNNNNNN

Tsunade took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she stepped out of the room. She was surprised when she opened her eyes and saw Shikaku and Shikamaru coming towards her. “What are you two doing here?”

“How’s Temari?” Shikamaru asked.

Tsunade looked at him sadly. “Not good, I’m afraid. She’s alive, but on life support. Both of her lungs were punctured by her ribs, nearly every bone in her body was broken, and there was a major contusion in her brain from the debris hitting her. Her pupils are unresponsive and I can’t get a single reaction from her reflexes. Because of the head injury she’s in a coma, and honestly, I’m not sure if she’ll wake up.”

Shikamaru squeezed both his eyes and his fists at her words. “So you’re pretty much saying she’s already dead.”

Tsunade placed a hand on his shoulder. “She was pretty much dead from the time she arrived. It’s lucky her head wasn’t completely crushed by the rubble. If that had happened, there’s nothing we could’ve done.”

Shikamaru looked at the room door. “Can I go in?”

“Sure,” Tsunade said. “But first, how are you?”

“I’m fine,” Shikamaru said and walked away from her. He went in the room and left Shikaku and Tsunade alone in the hall.

“Is there any chance she’ll survive this?” Shikaku asked as they both continued to stare at the door.

“I don’t know,” she said and looked at him. “The trauma to her brain worries me. If she wakes up at all, she could have permanent brain damage, or worse.”

“What could be worse than that?” Shikaku asked.

“She could be in a vegetative state.”

“What?”

“She may seem like she woke up, but she could still be unconscious. It’s a bit difficult to explain, but she could open her eyes, move, respond to certain things, but in reality she still isn’t conscious.”

“What are the chance of that?”

“Right now, it’s pretty likely IF she wakes up.”

“She’s not brain dead is she?”

“No, there are still electrical currents flowing through her brain, but they are low.”

“So that’s why you have her on life support,” Shikaku stated more than asked.

‘Yes. Her brain has essentially shut down to repair itself. This is a difficult situation because her brain may not be able to repair itself and will just stop functioning entirely. Until she wakes up, it’s touch and go.”

“I see,” Shikaku said and looked back toward the door.

“I have other patients to look in on, but I’ll be back later to check on her progress.”

Shikaku just nodded and walked into Temari’s room.

NNNNNNNNNNN

Sakura finally made it back to her and Kakashi’s house. It looked like it didn’t get any damage at all in the attack. She smiled and started to head inside, but was stopped when she heard her name. She turned around and saw Kakashi and Naruto heading toward her. She ran, as best she could being pregnant, and jumped into Kakashi’s arms, wrapping her arms around him and smashing their lips together.

Naruto looked away awkwardly. “I’m ok too, ya know.”

Sakura broke off the kiss, her cheeks slightly pink, and looked over to Naruto. “Sorry, Naruto. I’m glad you’re both ok,” she said and hugged Naruto. “I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to either of you.”

“I’m sure your parents would’ve been there for you,” Kakashi said.

“Yeah, but it’s not the same as you,” she told Kakashi with a smile.

“Sakura!”

Sakura turned around and the three could see Sakura’s parents coming towards them.

“Uh, I’m gonna go find Hinata and make sure she’s ok,” Naruto said and jumped off before either one could respond.

When her parents reached Sakura and Kakashi, Mebuki smothered Sakura in a tight hug. “I’m so glad you’re ok, Sakura.”

“Yeah, your mother and I were really worried,” Kizashi said.

“Can’t breathe,” Sakura said pushing on her mother’s stomach.

“Sorry, dear,” Mebuki said letting go of Sakura.

“And you shouldn’t have been too worried. I had Kakashi with me after all. As soon as he sensed the danger, he took me straight to the mountain side,” Sakura said.

“Good,” Mebuki said and walked up to Kakashi. “I’m glad you’re ok too.”

Kakashi smiled at her and rubbed the back of his neck. “Thanks, Mrs. Haruno.”

“So are you guys heading back to your house?” Sakura asked.

“We’ve already been there,” Kizashi said.

“There was nothing left to go back to,” Mebuki said sadly.

“What?” Sakura asked.

“Apparently there was a big battle near our house and it was hit and destroyed in the crossfire,” Kizashi explained.

“So what are you two going to do?” Kakashi asked.

“We’ll stay with you two, naturally,” Mebuki said with a confident, no-questions-asked voice.

Kakashi paled a bit. “R-really?”

“Mom, you can’t just barge in on us like that,” Sakura said.

“It’s only until they can find us someplace else to live,” Kizashi said. “Don’t worry. It’ll be as if we’re not even there,” he said and laughed.

“Great,” Kakashi said. He could tell that this wasn’t going to end well.

NNNNNNNNNNNNN

Kiba flopped down on the couch next to Kurenai. “Man, I’m beat.”

“Well, you did carry me all the way back here. I could’ve walked you know,” Kurenai said.

“You’re hurt.”

“Yeah, but Sakura healed the wound, so I’m fine now.” She leaned over to him and kissed his cheek. “But I appreciate your concern.”

Kiba smiled and laid his head on the back of the couch. “Hopefully things will slow down now.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well the kids were only that way ‘cause of the attack, right?” Kiba said looking back at her.

“Kiba, they’re new borns. They were only agitated this morning before the attack. The other days were because they needed the attention.”

“So they’re still going to keep us up all night?” Kiba asked a bit panicked.

Kurenai chuckled. “Afraid so.”

“Uhhhh, kill me now,” Kiba said laying his head back again and covering his face with his hands.

Kurenai laughed at him and looked around. “You know, we’re really lucky.”

“Huh?” Kiba asked looking at her again.

“The whole village was pretty much destroyed, but our house was only burned on the side a bit. It could’ve been much worse.”

“Yeah,” Kiba agreed. He looked down at her leg. “You could’ve died.”

“But your quick thinking saved all four of us,” Kurenai said.

Akamaru barked.

“Sorry, Akamaru. All five of us.”

Akamaru wagged his tail and laid back down.

“It was really Akamaru’s idea,” Kiba said looking at Akamaru. “Thanks, boy.”

Akamaru barked again.

NNNNNNNNNNNNN

Lee laid in bed just staring up at the ceiling. Now that he was alone again, his mind was going back to Guy’s death. Tears escaped his eyes at the thought of Guy being gone. He wasn’t sure how he was going to raise Taro without Guy. He remembered Guy told him to find someone that would love him and Taro, but he had never really been very good in the love department before.

He was grateful when the door of the room opened and Neji and Tenten walked in.

“Hey, Lee. How are you?” Tenten asked.

“I am ok. Is the fighting over?” Lee asked.

“Yeah, the enemy retreated a little while ago, and now all that’s left is the clean-up,” Neji said.

“That is good,” Lee said and lowered his head.

The room went silent.

Tenten looked around the room for anything to distract her and noticed something. “Hey, where’s Taro?”

Lee looked up at her. “He is in an incubator in the nursery.”

“Is it because he was born early?” Neji asked.

“Yeah, but he looks fine to me,” Lee said.

“You’ve seen him then?” Tenten asked.

“For a little bit,” Lee said. “I kind of snuck off to see him without anyone knowing. Shizune found me and yelled at me for it.”

“I didn’t yell.” The three turned and saw Shizune and Tsunade walking in the room. “I was upset, but I didn’t yell.”

“How are you feeling, Lee,” Tsunade said to change the subject.

“Fine. When can I see Taro again?” Lee asked.

“In a little bit. I’ll go over there to check him out once I’m finished here. Shizune told me that he is remarkably healthy for a child born a month early.”

“Yeah, it’s as if he was born right on time,” Shizune said.

“So he will not have to have all those wires and tubes on him anymore?” Lee asked.

“Those are only precautions, but if what Shizune said is true, then no, he won’t,” Tsunade said.

Lee smiled. “I am glad to hear that.”

“I have been told that Guy’s body has been retrieved from the training ground and is in the morgue now,” Tsunade said.

Lee, Neji, and Tenten looked down sadly. “It won’t be the same without him around,” Tenten said.

“Yeah,” Neji agreed.

“Guy Sensei,” Lee said and started crying again.

Tenten went over and sat down on Lee’s bed and tried to comfort him the best she could.

“We’ll discuss funeral plans later,” Tsunade said. “For now, let’s get you checked out.

Lee wiped away his tears and nodded.

Tenten got up and back over to where Neji was and just watched as Tsunade checked Lee over. She saw Tsunade check Lee’s stomach, the cut, and his lower half then turned back to Shizune.

She said something to Shizune that neither Lee, Tenten, nor Neji heard, but thought nothing of it when Tsunade turned back to Lee with a smile.

“Well, as far as I can tell you’re back to normal,” Tsunade said.

“Except for the fact that the serum is still in his veins,” Shizune pointed out.

“Yes, we’ll do a couple more tests on that, and if we don’t find anything, we’ll give you the antidote and things should be fine,” Tsunade said.

“I am glad to hear that,” Lee said with a small smile. “Will I be able to see Taro when you are finished examining him?”

“If he’s ok, I’ll have Shizune bring him to you,” Tsunade said. “So just stay here and rest up until then, ok?” she said as she walked toward the door, Shizune close behind.

“Yes, ma’am!” Lee said loudly and saluted.

After about ten minutes, Shizune returned with Taro in her arms and told them that he was healthy and strong enough to go home when Lee did.
