[Kaen's POV]
I felt myself lying on a hard surface with something heavy weighing me down. I slowly opened my eyes revealing nothing but darkness clouding my vision. There were tiny rays of lights coming from the holes between the debris they didn't give enough light for me to see clearly, but I saw a my mother on top of me with a bloody head but she was breathing so I deducted that she was still alive.
We were in a small clearing beneath the destroyed shelter with little room to move and was supported by one of the pillars holding up a ton of large rocks.
"Waahhh!" I cried loudly hoping to gain the attention of whoever was near me and to wake my mother in the process.
I heard shuffling and shouting coming from the outside of the debris and I felt my mother's body twitch so I assumed she will wake up some time soon. I heard rocks falling and more shouting and I can also see some more light coming through the cracks. We were saved I thought as I wailed as loud as I could to make the people outside to work faster.
I saw a blinding light where a huge chunk of debris once were and I saw my mother getting picked followed by me shortly after while still crying. When I was out of that pit, I saw destruction and dead bodies where i could see and some ninjas from the Hyuuga clan, Inuzuka clan, Aburame clan, and a few sensory ninjas telling people where people were trapped beneath the rubble. We were then rushed to a doctor in the hospital very quickly to see if we had any injuries. I was fine except for a few cuts and bruises. My mother was hit on the head. I could tell due to the blood flowing down her from her forehead so they bandaged her up real good.
Once they were done bandaging my mother, I had already clamed down and I was placed in the arms of my mother who was still unconscious. I was worried that if my mother had a concussion or something worse but I felt very tired from that ordeal so I fell asleep in the embrace of my mother.
[Maya's POV]
I slowly opened my eyes looked at my surroundings. I saw that I was in a hospital room and felt my head hurt and that something was wrapped around my head. I was about to get up from the bed to go find a doctor, but I felt something hugging me from beside me. I looked to see what it was and I saw that it was my little angel hugging me tightly and his head was resting peacefully on my stomach.
I smiled at him and patted his head gently while he sleeps. He stirred for a moment before opening his eyes and looking around.
Once he was done he turned and looked at me and when he did I saw tears welling up in his eyes then he jumped on me crying. I consoled him and told him that it was alright and we're fine now.
After that the doctor came in and said that my son was fine and he only had a few cuts and some bruises, but he said that I was hit on the and I may have a concussion so it was best if I stay here for a couple of days. I thanked him before he walked out of the door to go see more patients.
A few hours passed by quickly and a different doctor came in with a ninja following behind him and by the lighter color of green on his flack jacket I knew that this was a chuunin.
"Are you Maya Uzumaki?" asked the chuunin.
"Yes? Why did you want to see me?" I asked in confusion as I have never seen him before.
"Please come with me ma'am. It's an emergency. Your husband Koda Uzumaki is in critical condition and in a comatose state for the time being." stated the chuunin in a serious tone before going out of the room to wait for me to follow him.
Once he finished talking I began to worry about what could my husband's injuries be. I woke up Kaen and carried him with me out of the room. Once I was outside I saw the chuunin and he said to follow him. We walked for quite a while and I saw a lot of injured people in the hospital. Some were groaning in pain, some were crying because someone they know died, and I saw a few nurses wheeling out a man out of a room followed by a crying woman in her 30's and a teen. I assumed that the man was the father of the family and he was dead. I prayed that when we see Koda he only had a few broken bones and some bruises, that's all, but that was wishful thinking because that stupid idiot would fight to the death to protect someone and even a complete stranger.
We arrived in room that quite away from people and the ninja signaled me to go inside. When I got inside I thanked him and then he left to go do something.
What I saw horrified me. My husband, the person that I love was on the bed with multiple machinery keeping his health in check. I also saw that he had bandages going all over his body and even half of his face. His whole left arm was also missing.
I quickly rushed to his side with tears flowing down my face. I held his remaining while sobbing on the bedside hoping that he will recover quickly and make some stupid, dumb, and idiotic joke that would make me beat him to a pulp and put him back into a coma.
I didn't even realize that I placed my little angel on floor, but when I felt something tugging on my shirt I saw him doing the upsies motion so I picked him up and placed him near his father and I saw him hold his father's hand making me smile softly at the side. We stayed for 2 hours before the doctor who gave me a check-up asked us politely to go back to the room that I was in because he said I still need to rest and recover from my head injury.
I was about to disagree but when he said that I could visit him later I complied and picked up Kaen and went back to my room.
When we got back the doctor gave me a check up again and to make sure that the bandages on my head were fine or they need changing. Once he was done he left the room and I felt my eyes getting heavy so I placed Kaen beside me with his head on my stomach and let sleep consume my injured body to speed my the healing process.
(TIMESKIP 1 WEEK)
[3rd person POV]
One week has finally passed since the escape of the Nine tailed fox and reeking havoc in Konoha killing thousands even the 4th Hokage. The ninjas and a few civilian have finished rescuing the people under the rubble and construction workers have finally began fixing up the destroyed buildings and houses. Everything finally returning to normal except the anger of a lot of people for the death of their loved ones. Today was the day that all the people will mourn all the deaths that has happened and the death of their Hokage.
Dark clouds were forming in the sky signaling that it was going to rain on this sad day.
In a hospital room we can see that a woman with red hair and green eyes wearing all black was sitting on a chair with her son, a boy with red hair as well but with purple eyes on her lap, beside a medical bed with a red haired man covered in bandages. This was Maya and Kaen visiting the father before the start of the ceremony. They have been their since this morning and it was time to go so that they won't be late.
"Wake up soon, okay?" said Maya while holding her lover's remaining hand before getting up and taking her son's tiny hand before walking out of the door.
They walked for 20 minutes before Kaen's little legs couldn't walk anymore so her mother had to carry him the rest of the way. She walked for 5 more minutes before making it to the entrance of the cemetery. She could already a lot of people already waiting so she just waited as well. A lot of people were to honor the death of the ninjas that fought the beast and their loved ones that got caught in the cross fire.
A long time passed by before the 3rd Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi came up the steps on to the platform before facing the sad faced crowd. He about to speak when, but the rain beat him to it, crying for all the ones that were lost.
"We are gathered here today to honor out loved ones and those who were lost, but we are also here to remember the sacrifice that they did to protect us and to remember our hero, the 4th Hokage for vanquishing the beast that terrorized this village. So let us rejoice for our great hero for preventing more lives to be lost. I will be taking up office and returning from retirement to be the Hokage once more and to protect this village once again, so thank you all for coming here and I thank you all for honoring our fallens sacrifices." the 3rd said with tears in his eyes before walking of and headed to the Hokage tower making all who were there cry as well.
Once he was of the platform the people dispersed and returned home with the rain still pouring. Maya and Kaen opened the door to their home and went to there own rooms to sleep the rest of the day off, but not before Maya giving her son kiss on his head before going to her room alone.
Once Kaen entered his room he made his way over to his bed without even changing his clothes as he was too tired to do so. He lied in his bed thinking on what to do in the future and ways to get stronger.
'I'll be the strongest here and protect those I care for.' he thought those cringy line but he didn't care and before long he felt his eyes getting heavier and heavier before finally closing them and went to dreamland.
