A/N: I read a series of drabbles that were based off Disney quotes for my favorite HP couple (Draco/Hermione) and thought, "Hey! That's a cool Idea! I should give it a try!" And, well, then this happened. They're just stories (some are individual, but of them are going to be connected as the story progresses) of my favorite Naruto couples as parents with Disney quotes incorporated in them. The "parental" couples as I will refer to them are the couples of the original Naruto characters by Masashi Kishimoto, but there will also be couples amongst my their kids and whatnot.
Parental Couples: SasuSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, ShikaTema, KibaIno, GaaMatsu, ItaHana, KakaKure
Disclaimer: I do not own the original Naruto characters used in this fiction, just the couples' kids.
Parenting 101
Story 01: Of Salads & Sweets
Let's just say that their kids didn't quite inherit the same aversion to sweets as their father.
Sasuke wondered if they were way in over their heads when they decided to have kids. Although he and Itachi were brothers once more (metaphorically speaking, that is; they never stopped being brothers in the first place) and they were both home in Konoha where they belonged, Sasuke still wanted to carry out his wish of restoring the Uchiha clan.
With Sakura, they had two kids—their lovely daughter, Kiku, and their charming son, Daisuke. Kiku had purple hair, onyx eyes, and a mixture of Sakura and her paternal grandmother, Mikoto's, beautiful faces. Although, she was reserved and was more for action than talk like her father. She inherited her mother's smarts and inhuman strength, and her father's athletic capabilities. Daisuke, on the other hand, look exactly like Sasuke, except with jet black hair instead of dark blue. He definitely had Sakura's charismatic, outspoken personality. However, when it came to abilities, he was a prodigy just like his father had been.
Now, Kiku was always more mature than kids her age, let alone her younger brother by three years, Daisuke, so they could always count on her to help when they had their hands full. Even so, she was only a 7-year-old trying to keep up with a spunky 4-year-old, so things were bound to get out of hand every once in awhile.
It was your typical day in Konoha. The sun was up, the village was buzzing, and people were carried out their relatively similar, day-to-day activities.
While Sasuke was gone for an all-day mission, and with no one able to baby-sit, Sakura brought Kiku and Daisuke to the hospital.
They usually just followed her wherever she went and kept to the side.
At lunch time, Sakura brought them with her to the employee lounge where they were serving salad and various vegetables and sauce. Once Sakura fixed them up their lunches and got them juice pouches from the cooler, she sat them down at the table and walked over to Ino to talk.
Daisuke gave a disgusted look at the green, leafy things on his plate.
"You know, Onee-chan," Daisuke said to the girl beside him, "Eating greens is a big treat. It makes long ears and big feet. But it sure is awful stuff to eat."
Kiku rolled her eyes, looking very much like her father when doing so.
"It doesn't matter," she reminded. "You still have to eat it."
"But I don't want to."
"It's good for you."
"Of course it is. Why else would they serve it at the hospital?"
Kiku sighed. "Just eat."
He made a theatrically disgusted face.
"If you don't eat it, then you won't get dessert," she reminded, smiling when Daisuke's eyes went wide. The two had also inherited their mother's sweet tooth. "And I saw Aka-san pack chichi dango in her bag this morning."
And Kiku couldn't fight back her trilling giggle as her brother started inhaling his food seconds after.
A/N
Quote: "Eating greens is a big treat. It makes long ears and big feet. But it sure is awful stuff to eat."—from Bambi.
For those of you who don't know what chichi dango is: dango is a Japanese dumpling often served on a skewer, and a chichi dango is a slightly-sweet type of dango usually eaten as dessert. I got this off of Wikipedia, so if it's wrong, don't blame me.
Sorry if they don't seem their age. Kiku and Daisuke are supposed to be slightly more mature and smarter for their age, anyway.
Anyway, I also forgot to warn people that some of the original characters in Naruto (in other words, not my own, made-up characters) will be OOC, though it's not apparent in this particular drabble. In case there are any questions as more characters get introduced, don't hesitate to ask.
This collection of drabble/one-shots will be focused around both the parents and the kids, so you'll get the "best of both worlds" with it.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Criticism? Flames? Don't hesitate to make your opinions known in a review or PM, whatever suits you.
Ciao! Au Reveoir! Zai Jian! Hasta Lavista! Ja Ne! Goodbye (till next time, at least!)
