Chapter 2
The Lost Leading the New

Naruto



They stopped for the night at a empty clearing. I feel odd like some thing watching me... hm... Hah! I know I saw something wiat it's coming for- "Sia watch out!" Naruto drew three shurikun they missed, Sia jumped out of the way a wolf appeared. The wolf's fur was Gray whith a hint of black his eye's green they shone in the dark. He was quite small perhaps 2 years old.

"Oi! Wat'ch it there I'm not gunna hurt ch'a!" the wolf snapped back.

"Why are you here and why were you fallowing us?..." Neji asked barly forming the words. The rest wern't sure if it realy happened.

"A... well you see I was just checking some one out. To well, for my master to make sure he gets to my master without you know getting hurt..." The wolf said looking from Naruto to Neji.

"So... who are you and-" Neji turrened to look at Naruto. "Who is your Master?" Neji gathering his chakra to show that he wonted anwsers.

"I'm Silver Break my master well is a... Lily but she didn't directly tell me to do this her head wolf did Midnight. Midnight told me. "Just make sure He's not dead before he gets here okay?" So I'm just making sure... Sorry if I surprized you..." He bowed his head in shame.

Neji reached over and pet his head. "That's okay, well I'm just glad your not an enimy but I'm still not sure so you'll understand when I say we have to keep an eye on you."

He noded and looked up again then went over to Sia "Sorry bou't that mate I just over acted..." He nuged Sia's pants with his nose. Sia attempted a smile and stroked his back. Silver Break happily wagged his tail.

Gaara



Hmmm... All done with my papers I think I'll go see that girl. I wonder where the wolf went it left rather quickly. He got up and headed out the door. Naruto's probibly already on his way here. He breathed fresh air it felt good. There were little children in the street by the hospital there ball was cought on the roof. Gaara reached with his sand circiling the ball the kids gathered in amazement as it floated down. Gaara grabed it bounced it in his hand and watched as the little kids gathered around him he gave it to the one in front.

"You shouldn't play in the streets. Try the field over there." he pointed to a patch of sand a little ways out side the city.

"Yes Kazekage-sama, where are you going anyways?" The boy asked politely.

"To visit a Kuniochi." Gaara answered ruffeling the childs hair.

"Is she your girlfriend !" a girl asked.

" No... I don't even know her." Gaara blushed my girlfriend I never thuoght about any girlfriends. I mean the only girl that even talks to me is Temarie and a few other ninja.


He left the childeren gigeling. He walked in the front doors and then asked the clerck for Lily's room. "She's in emergany care sir, but I can let you enter. She hasn't waken up yet though. If she ever dose..." She ended muttering to her self.

Gaara wondered through the halls. If... I hope IF never happens. Or at least not before Naruto has a chance to say good bye- NO, She'll live if she is Naruto's cousin she'll make it... Besides I bet right now Naruto's saying...



Naruto



"I belive that if she's my cousin she'll be up and waiting for me when we get there!" Naruto said to no one imperticular. One more day till we get there.



Gaara



Gaara arived at the room Lily was in he looked in the glass window. Her body looked mumified. Gaara looked at her X-ray's yester day her left leg broken and seven ribs competely shatered. Not to mention three sever cuts one on her right leg, upper left cheek -most likely the ninja was going for her eye- and a cut from her neck to liver. Not to mention contless burns, scars and bruises Torcher... Her cut from her neck too liver is bleeding on the inside -internal bleeding- other wise she had no lasting damage.

"She'll make it Naruto will defintly see his cousin! " Said Temari in a comferting way. He looked at Lily's face she looked like Naruto with long hair a paler complection and no marks on her cheeks and of corse the fact that she was a girl. No dought Naruto's cousin... I can't see her eye's though...



But like every Jinchiriki she carries the mark of her deamon and seal. The seal lay across her chest one similar to Naruto's only smaller. She had a mark across her anckel that went up her leg, it was a tail. At first the docters thought it was a burn or scare. But Gaara knew it was her deamon's mark. (Or so the doctors told him.)

He looked at a currier running down the hall. Ah, the news great..."Sir, the ninja's from the Leaf village will be here tomarrow! And... there have been reports of... of a wolf. Is it trure your letting a wolf stay with a forieng ninja in critical condition!" He looked worried or verry tierd.

That's were the wolf went well I don't mind it isn't doing any harm so. "Yes I did in fact it's right there." he spoted the wolf crouching by Lily's bed it must have dozed off.

The currier looked astonished then with a blank expression on his face walked away. It's true that there are no wolves in the desert but still I wasn't all that surprized to see one. Oh well.



He unlocked the door and went inside. There was a breathing tube up her nose and the back round was filled with machinery. "Naruto's gunna kill me if you die you know that?" Gaara whispered to himself. She tossed her head tword him and opened one eye. One Beautiful blue eye... The same eye Naruto gave me that one day...



Lily



Lily opened one eye her body aching, she thought she heard a voice. She looked up there was a man above her with red hair and soft light blue eyes he was starring right at her she guessed he was fifteen. She could feel her hole body wrapped in bandeges she couldn't even lift her finger. "A... who are you? Where are we? What I'm I doing here? And have you seen a black wolf that can speak?" Lily flopped open her other eye her vission was a bit fuzzy. She looked around the room until her eyes were on the man again.
"Well?" It kinda looks like a hospital. She couldn't remember ever bieng in a hospital. David always took care of me, David and Kia... Wait now I remember! Maby I'm at The Leaf village, maby this is my cousin!



The man jerked his head as if he just got out of a daze or something. "I'm Gaara the Kazekage of the Village hidden in the sand. We're are in a hopital, You have been hurt badly don't you remember? And your wolf is laying on the other side of me." He looked down and patted Midnight's head she sturred.

"Master your awake! They said you'd be out for another week! You should be sleeping though... He-" She gently nugged Gaara's arm "said that your cousin should be here by noon tomarow." Midnight licked what part of Lily's face she could find.
"My cousin... do you know him?" She asked Gaara as she tried to pet Midnight but her finger wouldn't move she winced in pain.

"Ya I know your cousin he changed me and because he did that I'm The Kazekage. He looks alot like you, his name is Naruto. Your wolf told me you were a Jinchiruki and about your horribal past, Naruto is also a Jinchiruki, I used to be Shukaku -1 tailed racoon dog deamon-. But I'm not any more. Naruto has the Ninetails in him still..." He bent his head down, Lily looked up at him.

"My brother Cage is the leader of the akasikie, I'm sorry if he harmed you... I'll tell you all I know about him but not now. I'm feeling kinda..." she started closing her eyes her head was spinning. "dizzy... tell me before... he comes... thank's Gaara..."She closed her eyes.

Gaara



As Gaara left he said to himself "Naruto your one lucky guy..." He went back to his office.

Naruto



"One mile to go! You know wolf I'll let you go now... cause you were a good gir-" Naruto shouted but Sia and Shino covered his mouth. Naruto was excited all morning but making fun of Silver Break was not a good Idea. Sia covered for him by quickly saying. "Yes, you are a good BOY!" Hinata who had kept quite most of the time giggeled.

Silver left happily, once out of his earshot Sakura started screaming at the top of her lungs. "Naruto! Don't you ever learn! You could have just set a wolf on us! And killed your self! I know your excited but if you act like this you'll be dead before you get to the village!" She kept scolding them until they were at the base of the village.

Gaara stood thier waiting for them along with Temari and Kankuro. Naruto ran up to them he put his hand over Gaara's shoulder. Gaara stood thier and managed a smirk. "How ya do'in Gaara! Bieng Kazekage alota work? By the way this is Sia and uh... you know the rest right?" Hinata, Gaara, Sia and Neji never really met they actually have alot in common. How ironic!

Gaara motioned for them to came in the village gate. the walked to the hospital Naruto about ready to explode. Gaara held his hand for every one to stop. "Lily woke up yesterday she made me promis to wake her before you came so... wait here okay." He briefly walked in. After a minute he opened the door for them to come inside. This is it... Lily and Naruto closed thier eyes.

Naruto stepped through the door way. He cracked his eye then opened it fully. Lily lay on the bed wide eyed every one turrened thier heads back and forth seeing the liklyness of the two. Naruto broke the silence. "Hi, I'm Uzumaki Naruto and your Uzumaki...?" Actually I never thought of a persolal name. Whoop's...



"Lily, Uzumaki Lily you know you look exactly like my brother only he's got red eyes." She observed Naruto up and down. Kia oh... how I miss you..!



"Who are you guys back there the one's turning your heads?" Lily managed to smile through her bandages. Dang I've never seen so many bandages well, there was that fight with Sasuke but these are seriuos I wonder what happened, I'll ask later.


A violet haired girl with opal eyes spoke up well actually she just studdered. "I'm Hi-Hinata and-" she pointed to a tall boy with black hair and opal eyes like her's. "He is my cousin Neji. We're from the Hyuu- Hyuuga clan in the Konohagakure..." Neji raised his hand.

A boy in the back raised his hand Lily couldn't see his face it was covered with a hood. "I'm Shino from the Aburame clan nice to meet yo-" Bugs are those bugs crawling out of his skin... Oh my... Lily's eyes got really wide she then passed out. "you... whoops..." Shino stiffened. Naruto looked at her face her teeth were clenched. Not the perfect first impression but then again Shino can be a bit scarry. She acted like she's never seen a bug before... Maby where ever she comes from they don't have bugs...



"Gaara can I see her X-rays?" Sakura asked, Oh my... she should be dead there is no way a normal person would've surrvieved three day like that and if they did they wouldn't be talking. But when she just passed out it didn't look like she was in pain. She looked like she was afraid, maby she has a phobya! That's it I bet... But I should still do a reutine check up.



Sakura put her gloves on. They took that as 'time to leave', Naruto took one last glance at his cousin. He was about to close the door when Sakura motioned for him to stay. "Naruto, shes your cousin you should stay... And bring Hinata and in here there the best X-rays I've got." She smiled Hes still not adapted to having a family member but he'll get ustoo it.



Hinata came in Sakura shut the curtins so there wouldn't be any prying eyes. Sakura asked Hinata if she could see any loose fragments Hinata shook her head. "No-nope, but there is one rea-really bad cut from her neck to liver. And her chakra isn't normal either her tenket-tenketsue, are acting odd some are open and come are closed the ones that are closed are by the really ba-bad cut. Who ever did that to her they must have also clo-closed her tenketsue. Leaving them like that i-is ve-veary da-dangerous." Hinata said traceing the cut over Lily's bandages.

"One more thing tho-though, her chakra isn't like mine or your's it's different. Like when Na-Naruto's angry no-no offence or any thing Nar-Naruto. It's like not blue it-it's black or-or maby a dark gra-gray. It's actualy helping her it's ve-veary odd." Hinata ended blushing slightly.

Is Hinata talking about the fox chakra? Yah... I should tell all my friends about that, but later. If she has chakra like mine. But black or gray? Could she be a... No. she'd ha-

"Ther-there's a mark on her chest I think it-it's a seal." Hinata traced that over her bandages too. Ya... that almost proves it, Is that why she came over here was her past as bad as Gaara's, Sasuke's, or mine? And she mentioned her brother what happened to him? These Questions are hurting my head!



Sakura and Hinata worked on Lily until they got her chakra flowing 'normaly as posibal for her'. Naruto gussed she figured maby she was a Jinchiriki too. They hit the sack at Midnight.

Lily



"Wow Naruto looks just like you Kia only he's got blue eyes like Daddy and me" Lily was having the same dream she'd been having ever since Kia and Davi left. Lily always sat with them talking about anything. Of course it was just a dream but Lily talked to them anyways. "I must hve passed out when I saw Shino's -or what ever that guy's name is- bugs it I just I thought they were spiders. So... you know I went all aracniphobic on him." Lily stopped something made her feel better like some one was healing her.



"I met this other guy, his name is Gaara he's nice -I think he likes me- his eye's have that puppy dog look to them. I also met a girl named Hinata she studders alot, and she had a cousin named Neji. They're nice too, Shino showed me his buggs then so I didn't meet any one else. Thier all from the Leaf village! I think Shino's okay he was just trying to show off. I wish I could sing them a song but I will next time!" I haven't sang in a long, long time...



Gaara the next morning



Gaara was in his office Naruto just told him what happened at the hospital.Then he told Naruto everything Midnight had said to him the night they came. And about the X-rays. He called Midnight to come in and tell them more about her home -what she knew of it. "Lily's ordenary day always went in a rutine. Unless something bad happened -which it usually did.
First she'd wash up and make breakfast.
Seconed she'd wake every one up and they ate together. Then she'd pack all the kids lunches. After that Lily gave out asingments. Two people or more are grouped together. One group always gets three asignments. Like chours -wich she made fun by making them use there training tachnics to finsh them- or for older kids ninja asignments. Others took care of the infermery and vet. Ah yes the vet, Lily has a soft spot for all animals -except spiders and most other bugs- so she started a shelter and vet secritly. She let all the orphans choose one animal companion or a one animal family. Lily chose my whole den! Right now there are... My four brothers, three sisters, they're thirty eight cubs, my mate, my eight sons and two daughters. Fifty two in all. Silver Break the one who acompanied you here Naruto, is my son. The rest are at home they know Lily's here I wrote them a letter. And sent it through Silver Break." Midnight paused.

"After every one was done they did whatever the wanted. While Lily cleaned everything up again, checked to make sure nobody's missing -ever since her brothers disapeared she made a curfue. She took care of the younger children and injered. Most stayed and helped Lily do stuff. When the kids go any where they always have to be with another person. Other wise Lily gets worried. Most of the girls go sow or pick vegtabels and flowers in the garden. The boys study jutsues and train animals or teach others how to do stuff. Really the orphanage is a grate place to be, it's like a guild -an aprenticeship. Lily always loved to write, drawl, play the guitar and sing but she stopped when her brothers disapeared. She writes a bit but not like she useto. But we we're all hopeing that she'd start doing that stuff again now that she's happier you know?" Midnight nugged Naruto's chair then licked Gaara's face. He laughed.

"He.. he.. that tickeled!" His face lit up it felt good to laugh.

So will Lily ever sing again? Will she ever get better? What about her Aracnophobia? Gaara laughed, so will the world end? Will I ever get better at naming chapters? Find out in Chapter three!
