Title: Baby Mine.

Summary: He's going to sing a lullaby to his crying infant son before he...well, you know the rest.

Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto

"Oh...please stop crying." He hushes to the screaming babe. He gently holds the crying child in his arms. The blonde haired baby continues to cry, tears pouring out of his eyes as he cries for his mother's touch. He is cold, even when swaddled in the blanket, for the October wind howls in the night.

Wait. That's not the wind. No. That's a demon fox, Kyuubi Kitsune, howling in the night as he munches on trees, smashing rocks and killing Shinobi and innocent villagers as he tares Konoha village.

Although he isn't oblivious to the fox, he's not denying he's not there. Because he is, infact he can see him while standing on Gamabunta. Insted, his focus in on the crying new born, who's cheeks are beat red and body is shivering. The father takes off his coat, wrapping it around the baby to warm him. It slightly works, but the baby still cires. Yearning for his mother's milk and possibly to cuddle. The father can't give him any of that at the moment, but insted he closes his eyes, humming.

"Baby mine, don't you cry" He sings softly. "Baby mine, dry your eyes." He takes his index finger, amazed on how large it looks against his son's face. His son's smooth tearful face. He wipes away tears, then stroke's the child's eyebrow. He hold him close, leaning the child close to his beating heart.

"Rest your head close to my heart, never to part, baby of mine." He continues to sing. He remembers this son all too well. His own Mother and father would sing this to him, that was...before they died. He had been so small to remember them, yet, he never forgot this song. Never. He hopes Naruto will never forget it either.

Naruto stops crying, only breathing fast. Gamabunta moves closer to the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi growles loudly at The fourth, startling the baby. The Fourth continues to rub the infant's back, staring only at his son. The Kyuubi can wait. Right now for probably the last time he has on this Earth, he wants to spend it with his son. Admiring him. Not the fox. He wants to die seeing the face of his soon, not that demon's.

Naruto's eyes don't open, but his mouth gapes open as a finger tracing along the side of his mouth leaves him to suckle on the large finger. The Fourth smiles at the adorable sight.

"Little one, when you play, pay no heed what they say."

Then he thinks...What will Naruto become? Who will take him in? If anyone does, would he call them "Kaa-san" and "Tou-san"? What if he's shunned because of this? What if-

"Hokage-san, Kyuubi's charging!" Gamabunta screamed, as if trying to grab The Fourth's attention.

He didn't pay any attention to the Toad or the charging fox. Insted, he smiled, continue to singing.

"Let your eyes sparkle and shine, never to tear, baby of mine."

Kyuubi charged and Gamabunta screamed: "Goddammit!" And in a "poof" The Fourth and Naruto were summoned to the deep woods of Konoha. The fourth knew Kyuubi would find them. He knew it but that could be worried about later. Right now, he had a song to finish.

"If they knew sweet little you, they'd end up loving you too. All those same people who scold you, what they'd give just for the right to hold you." The Fourth continued. The baby was starting to fall asleep. He was exauseted and the song and voice was so soothing, not like that loud sound he hated and feared.

The Fourth was in possition.

Kyuubi had found them, his eyes: blood thirsty.

Gently, Naruto was laid in the grass, still wrapped in his cloak.

"From your head down to your toes, you're not much, goodness knows."

When the Nine-Tails realised The Fourth's intentions or re-sealing he charged, planning to kill te baby. There was blood as the father leaped out infront of the Kyuubi. He choked on the red-liquid that came out of his mouth and all over his clothes, dripping to the ground, staining the grass. Thankfully none hitting the child.

Naruto began to cry once again.

Minato smiled, tears coming out of his eyes.

"But, your soul...precious to me...sweet as can be...baby of mine...Fuuinjutsu!"

The song was over. Never to be repeated by the father to his son, ever.
