I don't own naruto.
A sleek silver car stopped in front of an enormous house, and a beautiful woman stepped out, waving a hand at the man inside before it rounded around the corner. Her hair was styled up in a high ponytail, the color so unnatural that it made everyone stop and stare at times. She wore a tight black shirt that ended just at her knee, a white buttoned shirt underneath a professional black shirt jacket. Ino was her name, and she took out a set of glistening keys, pushing them into the small lock before swinging them open.
"Mommy!" two voices chorused together, and before she knew it, two little boys had wrapped their arms around her legs, smiling up at her.
Ino smiled. Both of them were apparently twins, possessing long dark hair that was tied in a low ponytail, and dark mysterious eyes. A laugh interrupted her. "Ino, at twenty-two and still going strong with them?" She moved her head to the side, seeing a red-headed women smiling.
"Oh, of course! I love Itsuki and Shunya; they're just both so cute!" Ino bent down, letting both of them kiss her cheek before kissing each of their foreheads. "Wait for me to come back, alright? Let me put them to bed," Ino said, tapping their backs at the same time.
The door swung open and a male walked in, a bag in one hand and a small white box in his hand. "Hey, Karin," He said, and then smiled at the two boys being pushed by Ino. "Itsuki, Shunya, I have chocolate cake with me, and tomatoes for tomorrow." and immediately, the twins turned around, laughing and smiling.
In harmony, both of them said, "Daddy!" and they held their hands out as the male placed the foot aside, giving both of them a hug.
Ino scold. "Itachi! Not sugar sweets before their bedtime!" she swatted at his hand just as he patted both of the boys' head. Suddenly, a cough caught her attention and she whipped out her wallet. "Oh, I'm so sorry Karin!" and she dug out the money needed in her wallet, handing it over to Karin.
Suddenly, for the first time, Ino realized an extra visitor in the house. Karin noticed her eyes wander over him, and she pulled on the other person's hand. "Oh, Ino, this is Sasuke. Sasuke, this is Ino." she held her hands together, smiling as Sasuke placed a kiss on her lips.
"Well, nice to see you again, Sasuke." Ino smiled, hoping that it was good enough so that he wouldn't suspect her of lying. He simply nodded back, and Karin walked toward the boys, patting both of them on the head before she walked out of the door.
Itachi and Sasuke glared as he left, and just when the door slammed shut, he said, "My little brother is dating another women, again?" he raised an eyebrow, but yet he didn't seem surprised.
Ino took the bag in his hand, kissing Itachi's cheek sweetly. "Well, you can't really blame him, he's been dating around for years now. He tries his best to get into some girl's pants," she sighed, and then pulled the ripe tomatoes out of the bag, placing them in the refrigerator instead. "I thought you should know your own brother by now."
"I don't know he was basically a man-slut," Itachi said, spitting out the words he detested so much. "And of the Uchiha line-"
Ino took the white box and slowly peeled off the pieces of tape as her twins sat at the table, their mouths watering as they looked at her hands. "Now, now, the children are here, cover your mouth." she smiled, looking at Itachi's handsome face before turning around to get some plates and forks. "Only a little, boys. I don't want you getting cavities." she moved aside as Itachi held the knife in his hand, cutting equal sized pieces for both of them.
Itachi placed his hands on her shoulders. "Maybe you should get some rest …you were running around the whole building today, take a warm bath," he said, his voice somewhat soft and soothing. His hand reached toward her hair to pull the rubber band out in one fast motion, catching the attention of Itsuki and Shunya.
The woman nodded her head. "Yeah, you're right …I should." she took her jacket off, throwing it carelessly to the couch before walking up the stairs to arrive at her bedroom.
Itachi turned around, seeing the plates were already finished and he patted Itsuki's and Shunya's back. "Brush your teeth before going to bed, or else it'll be another trip to the dentist. You're allowed more cake tomorrow," he said, both of them nodded at the same time before bickering about something.
He walked up the stairs and changed into different cloths as he pushed the doors of the balcony open, letting cool air stream in gently. Itachi didn't know how much time had past but when his eyes came into focus, the sky was the orange shade of color, instead it was already dark.
A movement was heard behind him and he felt Ino's arms around his body. Gently, he pried one hand off him. "You don't have to pretend that you love me. I know you still have feelings for him, even though he did leave you." he pulled her other hand off him.
"No, no. I-I like you, really. My feeling for him will pass…" she wrapped her arms around his body again, feeling the fabric of the shirt he wore. "I only saw him one time …it's not like I'll see him again tomorrow."
Itachi pulled away from her, touching her chin gently before bending lower to kiss her cheek. "You never know, Ino, you never know. I've been hearing that a new security guard is arriving tomorrow, it might be him…" he bent lower to give her a short hug before holding a hand up and gathering some cloths. "I'm going to go take a bath; can you make sure the boys are in bed?"
"Of course," he heard her reply. When he heard the door close, he entered the bathroom, shutting the bathroom door as he went.
The blonde daintily walked through paths of the house and soon arrived at the room that the two twins shared. "Shunya, Itsuki, are you in b-" and she stopped just as she swung the door open.
Both of them were certainly in bed. Itsuki and Shunya were already in their pajamas but instead of each of them sleeping in their separate beds, Shunya had sneaked into Itsuki's bed, both of their hands dug under their chins and their hair set loose, their foreheads touching each other's.
She smiled, stepping forward quietly to kiss both of their cheeks. 'You remind me so much of your father…' she patted their bangs gently, running her slim fingers through them. Ino admired her children as she sat down on a chair.
A warm hand landed on her shoulder and she looked up to see crimson eyes glowing in the darkness. "Let's go to bed," Itachi said, and he held a hand out, which Ino immediately took gently. "We need to be aware of tomorrow. Tomorrow we're bringing Itsuki and Shunya to the building aren't we? And Karin is going to babysit them there." He held Ino's hand as if it was extremely delicate, barely giving any strength on the hold.
Just as they settled into their bed, Itachi plopped up on his elbow, his dark hair swinging to the side as he did. "Ino, do you ever regret marrying me?" his question stunned but Ino managed to recover.
"No …No, I don't. You are a better father than what I think he would have ever been," she said, and then closed her eyes. "Thank you for being there all these five years even when he wasn't…"
Slowly she turned toward him, allowing his dark eyes to meet with her beautiful light ones. "Thank you for so much." she pressed a hand against his chest, feeling through the thin shirt before she cuddled against him.
~'.~'.~'.~'.~
"Itsuki! Shunya! Get in the car!" Ino shouted, and smiled happily as the two boys rushed into the car, shoving and pushing each other as they went. "Stop pushing each other! It's not nice. Don't give Karin too much trouble today, alright?" she kissed their cheeks and left them to be as they silently bickered to each other.
Itachi looked back, his eyes red instead of its usual dark color. "Daddy, why is your eyes red? Ours is bluuue," Shunya said, laughing as Itsuki poked him out of random.
The tall male looked forward, moving the mirror in the front a bit before he turned around, his eyes a dark color instead of its usual red one. "Is it better, Shunya?" he gave a smile at the child who nodded his head, and his eyes moved toward his wife, who gave him an approving smile. "Be quiet for today, we can't have you disturbing our work," he said, and then stuck the keys into the slot, starting up the car quickly.
Karin was already standing outside of the building, waving her hand as the two boys ran to her, gesturing for them to follow her. Ino waved her hand slowly and turned around just as Itachi placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Let's go inside. After all, I'm quite sure the new security guard is my little brother," he said, a tone of amusement in his voice, and Ino looked down. "Be aware."
"Of course. My guard will always be up when he's around, he was the one that stole the rest of my teenage years…" she looked up when he felt her grab her hand, clutching it tightly. "Let's go in then," Ino said, looking back to see Itachi's handsome face before moving forward.
Naruto was the first to nearly jump on them. "Ino, Sasuke's here! New security guard, pretty cool isn't it?" he asked, his finger pointing toward Sasuke that was leaning against the door where Itachi usually stood.
"Don't get distract, Naruto," Ino said, and then wagged a finger in front of his face. "Or else I will make sure he's going to get something else to guard, now go and do your job!" she stomped one foot down on the carpet and Naruto frowned. "Or else I'll make sure Sakura won't be seeing you in your lunch break for the rest of the month."
A smile spread across her pink lips as he did as what he was told to, muttering only a few words behind him.
Itachi bent down to peck a small kiss on Ino's cheek, always her cheek. "I'll see you later then, Ino." and he stood up to his full height, slightly towering over her frame.
Ino tiptoed, planting a small kiss on his cheek at the same time. "Same." and just as Itachi was about to walk away, she grabbed his sleeve. "I love you," Ino said, and then a smile appeared on her face.
Instead of returning the same words as anyone would expect from him. He bent down near her ear. "Don't say something you don't mean," he said, his volume somewhat quiet, but anyone at a short distance would be able to hear it clearly.
"No, I really mean it."
"Sure …just so you know. You don't have to make me feel loved by saying those words. Even the words, 'I like you' from your mouth can be just as good," he said, waving a hand back.
Ino looked at her husband before turning around, running into another direction instead.
In at least ten minutes, Itachi returned, standing next to the door just outside of Naruto's room, dressed in a dark suit. "I don't see you for seven years and you're married to one of my most beautiful ex-girlfriends?" a dark voice said, almost angry.
Itachi looked to the side, seeing Sasuke and he said, "Of course, after you cheated on her and dumped her, she fell into depression. I had to cover up all of the mistakes you've done to her, and I had to mend her heart." his voice was somewhat calm and soft.
He held a hand up to block a fast punch from Sasuke. "Do you chase after every girl I dump? It's none of your business." his eyes were a crimson color and Itachi just pushed him back.
"It might not be. But I had to mend all the mistakes you've done to her. You never see the true beauty in women," Itachi said, "You're hopeless."
Sasuke backed away from a second, standing back in his position. "And you do? I highly doubt it. You don't possess alive hormones for you to have feelings for a women long enough." he crossed his eyes, somewhat glaring at everyone that hurried past him.
"And you have no control over your hormones," Itachi calmly replied, waving a hand just as Tenten and Temari hurried across the hall, their arms full of paperwork as they ran. "Since you have this job. You must learn to be welcoming, loving, and caring to the other workers."
"This job does not need those things."
"They will be useful in many other ways," said Itachi, and he smiled, not at Sasuke though, more mysteriously out into the world. He was thinking of something, someone in particular instead of focusing his mind on his job instead.
His younger brother simply rolled his eyes. 'Jackass,' he thought, and leaned back against the wall, his arms crossed and an angry furious look on his face, and Itachi took one peek at him, knowing that Sasuke was fighting with his emotions inside.
Meanwhile, Ino was sitting in front of a desk, trying her fastest to get all of the work done as Tenten and Temari stacked piles upon piles on her desk and answering phone calls at the same time. She felt light-headed but she ignored it, continuing to work under all of the pressure and stress.
"Ino, switch places with me," Temari ordered, and Ino immediately stood up, nearly stumbling on her feet before she got her footing back. "You're doing too much work…" she muttered, trying her own best to do the exact same work that Ino was doing just a few seconds ago.
Tenten scattered in the background, running nearly all over the place.
Ino walked forward, her head swirled and her vision fogged. Before she knew it, she was on the floor, nearly fainting. Temari and Tenten were the first the apparently reach her, shaking her.
"Ino! Wake up!" when there was no response from the question Tenten has asked, Temari hurried out to get Sakura.
Usually, I would tell you where I get my ideas ...but I just don't know where I got this one.
I already have everything planned out for this story O.O
Review for me, k? I think I did a good job. T~T
