Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ the ceremony of sealing ❯ home ( Chapter 2 )

Keoko walked to the Hokage estate with Naruto wrapped in a warm fleece blanket. Passing a shadowy alley, Keoko looked back, trying to shake the feeling that she was being followed. `Must a cat or something like that' she thought just before a kunai flew out of and embedded itself in her arm.

 

Swearing loudly, Keoko jumped back pulling kunai out of her jacket. Throwing them in every direction possible with out having the Byakugan, Keoko did a substitution jutsu quickly before sprinting home, the kunai still lodged firmly in her arm. As she ran Keoko gauged the damage caused by the attack. If she hadn't moved at the last second the kunai would have hit its target straight on; Naruto. The attacker had aimed for Naruto's small chest.

 

Opening the front door, Keoko walked weakly into the living room. Placing the sleeping baby in the baby swing, Keoko lay down on the couch, trying to get rid of the pounding at her temples and a severe headache. The room spun and the fourth Hokage's wife lost consciousness.

 

Arashi came home to a door wide open, screaming Naruto, and a white and bloody Keoko passed out on the couch. Upon closer inspection, Arashi found a kunai in her lower bicep. It took several tries before Arashi got the weapon out. After wrapping the wound tightly, Arashi picked up the red face, hollering baby and tried to calm him down. To no avail could the young Hokage quiet the boy. Keoko woke to a hollering Naruto and Arashi futilely trying to quiet him.

 

“Honey, you know, once babies know what they want they will do anything to get it. Naruto really wants to be held by someone who knows how to handle babies and that would be me. Plus I think he is hungry.”

 

Arashi gave Keoko a kiss on the lips before turning and beginning to leave the room. Keoko coughed slightly and he turned around quickly, and backed up a few steps. Keoko had a glare on her face that it would safer to jump off a cliff than to look straight into that glare.

 

“I am just going to make me some ramen, do you want some?”

 

“Men”

 

“Hey I am a guy and the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach.”

 

Keoko snorted, and turned back to feeding Naruto who had stopped crying.
