Chapter 79: II Chapter 34 – Morning has come

Gene cried out, everything seemed to slow down and scurried towards them, but she knew she wasn't fast enough, wouldn't reach them in time. Holding out her hand, she covered it in the last vestiges of her Chakra and tried to buy just an instant for them to survive.

She could see the claws piercing Minato she heard a desperate yell and from a flicker in the corner of her eyes she saw a black Kimono and a flash of gray appearing behind a flying Kunai. 

Something crashed into the clawed paw and shoved it left, ripping apart Minatos clothes and skin, creating a giant gash on his back, making him howl out in pain. Meanwhile, Tsukiko crashed against a nearby unidentified piece of rubbish, rolling around in the mud and ripping her Kimono apart, while Kakashi was falling through the now slowly vanishing Kyuubi, banging right into a piece of wall behind it.
Kushina held her husband close, Shisui got down on his knees with glowing green hands trying to hem the bleeding before the real medics were arrived, all while little Naruto was now carrying a swirling symbol on his stomach was crying out his lungs. 
As soon as Kushina knew Minato in safe hands, she picked up Naruto and started to quietly sing to him in an attempt to calm him.

It is over. 

Gene looked around and saw the destruction, Shinobi limping and carrying injured comrades, people screaming in pain when they discovered body parts of their own completely crushed under boulders and pieces of the ruined buildings, white coated medics hurrying around and the first bars arriving to transport off the death, fallen and injured away. The first Hokages face was completely gone, reduced to rubbish, strangely Minatos face was still spotlessly there, just still lacking the Nose Kushina ruined.
 
She looked around and saw Tsukiko trying to get up hissing in pain while holding what looked like a badly dislocked shoulder, Kakashi whose mask and clothes were ripped held on to a Kunai, while kneeling and raising back on his feet pumping air from his lungs visibly exhausted. She noticed an Arm picking her up and looked back, there was Shisui his Sharingan still fully activated from agitation, his face covered in dirt and blood. 

Itachi limped to them, holding up a dirty scroll and not looking very much better than the rest of them did. "We survived.", he said, and not too far off the first civilians came back and started cleaning up.

"We are still alive." Gene muttered and felt another snowflake falling on her face, wiping away the wet as she stared at it, there were still towers of blue and white ice standing in the middle of destruction, the red shimmer they carried before gone exchanged with the pale orange of a newly approaching day. 

"Alive and Kicking." Tsukiko said, and Kakashi next to her picket her up, hugging her tight while watching her arm. "No one is dead, Kakashi.", she muttered and hugged him back, muttering not only to him but also to herself. "No one." 

Gene nodded and noticed Shisui's arm, who was pressing her closer to him than usual, burying his head in her hair. 

"It's fine.", she told him. "I am still alive." 

"I know, but you scared me.", he said, and she relaxed into the hug. 

"Sorry.", she muttered back, "but Minato wouldn't have survived, and my chances stood better." The night was over now, soon the sun would rise fully, and then even more destruction would become visible. 

"Go home.", they heard Shikaku-san say, next to him Kushina was comforting her small baby. "Sleep, the five of you deserve all the sleep and rest you can get, whatever mess comes up we can deal with it in a few days." 

"Shikaku-san!", someone called from behind, and a Shinobi in familiar clothes and with white eyes came closer while Shikaku frowned. "Go..." he turned. "What is..."

Shisui moved and jumped away as did Kakashi and Itachi making a quick escape. "Shisui let me down." Gene objected, but he pressed her closer, wordlessly. Rolling her eyes, she surrendered and let him do whatever he wanted. Behind them, Itachi smiled, shrugging his shoulders. Kakashi and Tsukiko parted from them shortly afterwards and headed to their own Place. 

The Uchiha compound was unguarded, a few had already arrived there and made without commentary the way for them.

"I am going to bed, night.", Itachi said and waved at her. She waved back as Shisui carried her further to her room, with him stubbornly refusing to let her go until he put her to sit on her desk. 

"Stay there, I need to give your eyes a check and a quick swipe on the Seal.", he growled and Gene started to shake her head pointing at his arm and the still bleeding cut. 

"First take care of yourself, I have a first aid kit in the closet." 

"They will..."

"Now Shisui!"

He quietly went to the closet and opened it, taking out the wooden box with her first aid kit and placing it on the table.

"Can you bow down a bit, I am guessing you may have a concussion and I want to start with the bleeding on your head before checking over your arm, I am rather sure an arm shouldn't look like this." 

Shisui nodded and bowed down as she took the disinfectant and started wiping away the already stating to dry blood to carefully stop the bleeding and bandaging it. Then she took his arm and he emitted a grunt in pain as she placed it on her lap. "Sit down." she ordered, and he did as she said. Cutting away the clothes she looked at the arm that was beaten black and blue, she touched it through, checking if there was anything broken by touch. 

"Nothing.", she said. "Luckily, it just took a hit, nothing broken or dislocated, but you should go to a proper medic."

"I will, tomorrow, there are people who need them more this won't kill me, now you."

She nodded and closed her eyes, letting him check them over. "You ripped a few blood vessels, but it is okay otherwise, rest them." She nodded and had him check over the swirling seal that was now on her stomach. "I cannot feel anything wrong, but I'd rather you have Kushina check over it soon.", He muttered, and she nodded looking at his tired eyes. 

"I will, go sleep Shisui, I will go there too...", she muttered, and he nodded closing his eyes wanting to leave, but she grabbed his arm. "Can you stay here, I don't think I can fall asleep alone, I have two futon beds we can share."

"Sure." 

Getting to work, her sight blurred a bit more than usual, and Shisui got his Pijamas. Together each of them lied down, Gene now that the adrenaline was out of her body felt drowsy and touched around until she felt Shisuis warm hand. Relieved at the sign of life and the beating heart next to her, she fell asleep.
