Short update, busy as hell.

disclaimer: Don't own Naruto

Groggily Naruto opened his eyes, quickly clenching them shut again and groaning slightly because of the bright lights.

"Oh you're awake?" a soft female voice exclaimed from the other side of the room.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes again to look at the owner of the voice; it was a young woman with short silver hair with two long braids hanging down on the right side, dressed in a black kimono.

She gave Naruto a comforting smile while crossing the room, as she got closer Naruto noticed that she was quite tall for a woman.

"How are you feeling?" Her voice broke him out of his reverie as she knelt beside the bed and gently placed a hand on his forehead.

"A-Ah, I'm feeling fine" he croaked out, suddenly realizing that his mouth and throat where extremely dry.

"That's good" the woman said as she gave him another gentle smile, Naruto thought she looked quite beautiful when she smiled and he grinned back.

"Yeah! Nothing can keep the amazing Uzumaki Naruto down!" he proclaimed in a loud voice before letting out a nasty cough, the woman frowned slightly and she quickly produced a glass of water.

"Here drink this" Naruto grabbed the glass and chugged it down. "Slowly" she chastised and he quickly gave her an apologetic look.

'Ah that hit the spot' Naruto thought to himself as he tried to remember what had happened. 'There was that guy with the mask, and then…'

"Kisame!" he exclaimed suddenly, looking franticly around, trying to spot the big blue man.

"Ah, calm down Naruto-kun" the silver haired woman said while trying to keep him sitting down in the bed. "You're father is helping my master, he will be here shortly"

Naruto relaxed into the bed, before jumping up again "ah! That's right, who the hell are you! And who's your master!" he questioned fiercely while pointing his finger at her, the dramatic effect was cut short when Naruto's bedcovers slid down on the floor and he noticed that he wasn't wearing anything but his boxers.

Blushing up a storm Naruto snapped up the bedcovers and hid under it, muttering the phrase "It didn't happen, it didn't happen" over and over again.

The woman had to restrain herself from laughing and pushed on, pretending that the embarrassing situation never happened.

"That's right, I haven't introduced myself, my name is Kotetsu Isane" hearing a quick "hello" from under the covers she continued.

"My master is Unohana Retsu and we are traveling doctors from an organization known as Seretei" Isane finished as Naruto cautiously peeked out from the covers.

"Doctors? Seretei?" he asked curiously.

"Yes, your father was lucky to find us, the poison you had been infected with was very lethal, and to be completely honest with you it's a miracle that you are alive." She said with unshed tears gathering in her eyes 'Who could even consider poisoning a child with something like that' was the question she had been asking herself for the last few days after Kisame had brought Naruto to their temporary clinic.

Wiping away the water threatening to spill over with her sleeves she smiled at Naruto "Your father was very worried about you, he will be delighted to see you up again."

Naruto looked downcast "Why do you call him my father?"

Looking perplexed Isane tilted her head slightly "Well, that's what he told us, you mean that he isn't your father? He was honestly so distressed about your condition that we did not even consider the possibility that he was lying." She got a thoughtful look "We where kind of wondering why you didn't look more, you know. Blue" she finished sheepishly.

Naruto hadn't really been listening after the first sentence, he was already in his own world the same sentence repeating itself indefinitely 'Well, that's what he told us' Someone had actually thought of him as family? HIM? Tearing up he started to sob slightly.

-

Oh no! Isane could only look in horror as Naruto started to cry, what was it that she said? Did he take offence to being compared to Kisame? Oh what would her master say?!? "So it took you how many minutes from the patient waking up to making him cry?"

She had to do something, but what would help him? A light bulb flashed above her head 'Right, I know! I'll just do what Retsu-sama did when I had nightmares when I was younger!'

Carefully she scooped Naruto into a hug, she could feel him stiffening from the unfamiliar contact, and she frowned. Seems she would have to have a very important conversation with her master when she got back.

Burying himself further into the embrace, Naruto relaxed 'This feels so good, no wonder those other kids always started to cry every time they scratched a knee if they received something like this!" he could feel himself drifting back into sleep as Isane started to sing a lullaby.

He gave one last look at Isane and mumbled drowsily "Thank you" before he succumbed to his need to rest.

Yes those are the Bleach characters.
No there won't be any abilities from the bleach series (not any big ones at least), I just like how they look and their characters fit in with my story.
