Chapter Seven: Surprises

by Kaiyo No Hime

.

Naruto groaned as the pounding got louder, shoving his head beneath one of the many piles of paper on his desk to block out the sounds. He knew he should answer the door, it was probably very important if someone was going through all the trouble of waking him up in the middle of the night. It was his duty and responsibility as Hokage to wake up.

"Just five more minutes," Naruto moaned, glaring blearily at the door as his secretary came bustling through, a frantic look on his face.

"Gomen nasai, hokage-sama, but you're needed immediately at the hospital! Two children were injured earlier!" Kei insisted, completely unaware of the identities of the two in question.

"I'll be right there. Just tell those idiot doctors to be prepared, and to stay out of my way!" Naruto snapped, throwing on a cloak as his suppressed a yawn.

The job of a Hokage was never done.

.

"Ah, Hokage-sama, glad you could make it. Both cases are critical, but we honestly don't think the little girl will make it through the night. The internal damage is too severe," the doctor explained, looking over a chart, "Hopefully you'll be able to save the little boy."

"Do they have names?" Naruto asked with a sigh, scrubbing his hands. Tsunade had taught him everything she knew, except how to deal with doctors.

"Uchiha Akira and," the doctor paused, looking around the nearly empty room for support as he read the second name aloud, "Uzumaki Setsuko."

"Setsuko!?" Naruto's head snapped up as he recognized his daughter's name, ignoring every ounce of self control he contained, "Where is she!? Lead me to her, NOW!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama, right away," the doctor mumbled, rushing out of the room with the blonde on his tail.

.

Hinata stood outside of Akira's room, her hands molded to the glass as she watched the chest of her second youngest rise and fall as the respirator kept him alive. A heart monitor beeping steadily in the background as the clean white bandages wrapped around his chest bloomed crimson. Tears were rolling down her face as she realized there was absolutely nothing she could do for her son now.

"Sasuke, I swear I will kill you with my own hands!" Hinata hissed as her husband came up behind her, resting a hand gently on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Hinata, I never meant for this to happen, you have to believe me," Sasuke whispered, tears streaming down his face as well, "Where's Kakashi-sensei?"

"Busy watching his daughter die because of you!" Hinata screamed, slapping the man to the ground, slamming her foot into his chest, "Akira thought you were trying to kill me! That's why he left!"

"Hinata, please," Sasuke whimpered, curling up into a protective ball as she continued her vicious siege.

"You ruined my family! You tried killing my child! You aren't my husband any longer, you monster! You're worse that your brother!" Hinata screeched, her voice echoing down the hallway

.

Kakashi wiped the tears away from his single visible eye, knowing that soon his head band would be soaked with salt. But he, too, was powerless to do anything for the pale child lying inside the room, doctors and nurses rushing excitedly around her, trying to stop the bleeding.

But it was hopeless, and the jounin knew it. The wounds were too severe, too deep. Sasuke's kunai had struck home, though not accurately. Setsuko would soon be dead, and he would be alone in the world, again.

"Naruto?" Kakashi gasped as he watched his former pupil burst into the room, throwing doctors and nurses to the side as he quickly began forming complex hand signs, ignoring the glowing light around him and the girl.

And, to the silver haired man's amazement, it was working. The flesh around the tiny child's wounds was beginning to knit itself together, the blood stopping. But Naruto was beginning to look worse for wear, sweat streaming down his forehead as he collapsed onto the bed next to his child, his eyes closing weakly.

"God damn it," Kakashi cursed, realizing that Naruto had drained himself of everything he had just to heal the little girl.

The doctors dove to the side once more as he burst into the room, shaking the blonde man lying on the bed angrily, thankful that he had been able to save his daughter. And Kakashi wondered briefly if he was, in fact, going to lose the little girl, but not to the bitter fate he had once feared.

"I thought I told you to take care of her," Naruto whispered, leaning heavily on his former teacher as he stood, his feet threatening to give way beneath him, "Where's the Uchiha boy?"

"Don't be insane! You'll die!" Kakashi hissed, shaking the weakened man.

"It's not time for me to die yet," Naruto winced, "I haven't passed on the title of Hokage to her yet."

Kakashi stared at the man, his eye wide in shock as he watched him limp from the room. All these years he claimed to be his mentor and teacher, and yet he still knew nothing about him. He had watched the little bright eyed boy go from the trickster of the town, the most energetic being within the country, to the cold faced man limping down the corridor, his energy nearly gone.

He could only wonder if he had ever known him to begin with, or if Naruto had always been so cold and determined, his mask only falling apart after his beloved Tenten's death.

"Papa?" Setsuko whispered, her eyes fluttering open as Kakashi returned to her side.

"Don't worry, precious, Papa is right here,"

.

"You gave up so much, Naruto. I can only hope to be as strong as you, too," Gaara whispered, watching the blonde limp down the hallway silently, tears in his eyes.

.

Tsuzuku (To be continued.)

Author's Notes: Wow, that was a fun chapter, wasn't it! Angst, drama, Hinata beating the shit out of Sasuke, and mysterious words from Gaara.

I can almost hear the theme music behind me cueing the 'dun dun dun'! ^.^

I don't really have much to say this chapter. Most of the questions about why Naruto is already running out of energy will be answered in the next one, or later after that. I haven't decided yet.
