Character(s): Ichigo Uzumaki (son of Naruto and Hinata Uzumaki (Hyuga)), Chihiro Uchiha (daughter of Sasuke and Masa Uchiha (Inu)) **Masa's my Naruto OC**

Chapter One: The Fever

"Damn it, why are there no apartments in my prices range for sale yet," an eighteen-year-old, Ichigo Uzumaki yelled as he threw a newspaper he was reading on the dining table.

"Ichigo, language," Ichigo's mother, Hinata Uzumaki screamed as she paused from washing dishes.

"Sorry mom," Ichigo said as he slumped down in his seat. Across from him, Ichigo heard his little twelve-year-old sister, Kiki Uzumaki giggle at him. "What's so funny brat?"

"Oh nothing," Kiki responded.

"Honey, why are you so set on finding an apartment? You just turned eighteen, why don't you wait a little longer," Hinata asked her son as she dried off her hands.

"That's why, I just turned eighteen. I'm old enough to live on my own mom, and I'll move out sooner or later and I think sooner is better. I'm not saying that I hate living here, it's just I want to go ahead and support myself. That's all."

Hinata looked at her son with sad eyes as she thought of the idea of her oldest child moving out.

"I'll still come and visit so get so sad mom," Ichigo said to reinsure his mother.

"I know," Hinata said as she put a brave smile on her face.

"He probably just wants to move out so that he can have a girl over with him every night and have to sneak her in and out," Kiki taunted.

"I am not! Now shut up you brat or I'll throw your ramen away," Ichigo threatened.

"You do that and I'll kill you!"

"I like to see you try!"

"Would you two stop it," Hinata screamed to gain her children's attention.

Both Ichigo and Kiki looked at their mother and said 'sorry' to her.

After and few minutes of silence, Ichigo stood up and walked over to the refrigerator. When he reached the refrigerator, Ichigo opened the freezer door and grabbed an ice pack. He then placed the ice on the back of his neck and leaned against the refrigerator.

"What's wrong honey," Hinata asked her son.

"I don't know, all day I've been getting random hot flashes."

"Wow I didn't know you were a girl Ichigo; I guess I should call you 'big sister' now, huh," Kiki taunted.

**Kiki's basically saying that Ichigo has menopause; which is a natural condition that all women 45-55 years of age goes through that causes their period to stop and their body goes through changes that no longer allows them to get pregnant.**

"Oh shut up brat," Ichigo snapped.

Hinata rolled her eyes at her children, giving up the idea on breaking the fight. She then placed the back of her head on her son's forehead and cheeks. "You do feel a little warm. Do you think you'll be able to go on your mission today?"

"Ya, like I said, they're just random hot flashes. They're practically nothing," Ichigo responded and then gave his mother his smile that he inherited from his father.

Hinata smiled back at her son. "Ok then; but if it worsens, I want you to come straight back home. Do you understand?"

"Yes ma'am."

-Streets of Konoha-

"So wait you have the house all to yourself tonight," sixteen-year-old Chihiro Uchiha asked.

"Ya, mom and dad are going to spend the night at the hot springs for their anniversary tonight and Ichigo and Kiki have missions to go on today," sixteen-year-old Songo Uzumaki responded to her friend's question.

The two girls were walking down the streets of Konoha hanging out and doing a little side shopping.

"You know what that means," Chihiro taunted.

"What," Songo said with a raised eyebrow.

"A party, that's what! We can invite everyone we know, your house is big enough since you live in the Hokage's mansion."

"No way Chihiro; you know my dad's workers would tell on me when he would got back!"

"Ok, so no party." Chihiro then went into deep thought. "Oh I know! You can invite Chokichi over and confess you love to him and then you two will have all night of privacy, allowing you two to get as hot and heavy as you want!" Chihiro then flashed her blushing friend two thumbs up and a pervish grin.

"You spend too much time with your grandmother," Songo screamed at her friend.

"Awe, come on. At least invite him over and confess. Those feelings of yours have to be eating you up inside."

"They are!" Song then paused to collect her composer. "But, confessing your feelings to some you really, really like is harder than you think."

"What the hell is with the really, really like; you love him stupid, admit it."

"I have strong feelings for him."

"Ya, ya I know. You first had feelings for him as a friend and then you went on that dumb mission with him and your feelings blossomed into something more. That story makes me sick every time I hear it."

"Don't worry Chihiro, you'll find someone for you soon enough. You're a very pretty girl so who would turn you down?"

"Someone who knows me," Chihiro snapped back in a smartass tone.

Songo giggled at her friend's comment. An idea then popped in her head. "Hey, why don't you spend the night tonight? Since you said earlier that you needed to get out of your house and I hate staying home alone over night. It'll be fun."

"That sounds like a cool idea but I would have to ask my mom first."

"Ok then." Songo then flashed her friend the sweet smile that she inherited from her mother.

Later at the Uzumaki home…

"Hey mom, dad, anyone home," Songo screamed as her and her friend Chihiro as they entered her family's home.

"Hello sweetie," Hinata said as she walked through a doorframe and flashed her sweet and caring smile. "Oh, and hello Chihiro, sorry I didn't see you there for a minute."

Chihiro flashed a very cheerful smile at her best friend's mother. Meanwhile in the background everyone could hear Kiki scream in a teasing tone, "Mom's going blind."

"I am not Kiki," Hinata said back to her youngest daughter.

"She's right Kiki," Chihiro said as she rested her elbow on the couch that Kiki was sitting on. "It's the Uchihas that go blind, not the Hyugas."

"Is that why your dad wears glasses all time except for training," the young blonde asked. Chihiro nodded.

"Who invited the big butt Uchiha over," Ichigo said as he walking into the living room and purposely bumped into the bent over Uchiha. He then walked over to his mother. "Hey mom, are there any more ice packs? This one's all thawed out."

"What," Hinata said in confusion as she took the ice pack from her son's hands. "This was the third one, and it hasn't even been one hour."

"I know," Ichigo said as he dug his hands in his pockets. "I don't know why my temperature is so high. I feel fine, minus the high body temperature."

Chihiro put a disgusted look on her face. "Oh please let this be a deadly fever that will kill him in five seconds," Chihiro said low enough so that only Kiki could hear her.

The blonde giggled a little at the comment, but then stopped when she saw her mother look at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Ichigo, out of all of my friends, why are you so mean to Chihiro," Songo asked as she placed her hands on her hips.

"I don't know," the dark haired boy said with a shrug. "I guess it's because she rubs me the wrong way… Or maybe because she doesn't rub me at all," Ichigo said with a pervish grin.

Chihiro screamed in range as she got ready to punch the eldest Uzumaki all the way to kingdom come. Before she could, Chihiro was suddenly held back by Kiki keeping a strong grip on her purple shirt.

"Ichigo," Hinata shouted in shock. She then placed her left hand over her face to hide her embarrassment. "I don't care if you're of legal age now, but you are no longer allowed to read your father's books."

"Ok," Ichigo said with a shrug.

"And I bet when I tell your father what you said he'll give you extra chores to do around the village."

"Wait, mom no, I'm sorry," Ichigo screamed as he tried to beg his mother to not tell his dad.

"Then apologize to Chihiro," Hinata demanded.

"Ok, ok!" Ichigo then turned toward a still angry Chihiro. "Look, Chi. I'm sorry for what I said and I'm sorry that you were born an annoying, spoiled rotten brat."

Hinata then hung head down in disappointment. "He has his father's stubbornness."

Chihiro stared down Ichigo. "Ok, let me tell you something Uzumaki. One, you are never allowed to call me 'Chi'; two, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Chihiro then jumped toward Ichigo and stared to beat him up.

In the middle of the fight Hinata just watched as the young, female Uchiha was beating up her eldest son and then just shook her head, realizing there was nothing she could do. Hinata walk upstairs to finish backing her and her husband's trip.

Minutes later Naruto came walking through the front door.

"Daddy," Kiki screamed as she jumped from the cough and ran to give her father a hug.

"Hi dad," Songo said cheerfully.

"Hey you two," Naruto said to his daughters as he gave Kiki a hug and then patted Songo on the head. "Kiki are you ready to go on your first mission?"

"Yes sir," Kiki said as she excitedly nodded her head.

Naruto then smiled and looked up and saw his eldest daughter's best friend chocking his son. "Uh, girls can you explain what I missed?"

"Ichigo called Chihiro 'Chi' again," Kiki said.

"And he used the brat card again," Songo added.

"He's never going to learn is he," Naruto asked his daughters.

They both shook their heads in disappointment.

Hours later…

"Ryou, I hate your sister," a beaten and bruised Ichigo complained as he was walking down a dirt path with his teammates, Ryou Uchiha and Yokkako Tokishi.

"Well that's what you get for using the brat card on her," Yokkako taunted.

"Ya, and you of all people should now she hates being called 'Chi'," Ryou, Chihiro's older brother, added.

Ryou looked just like his father, Sasuke Uchiha, minus the hazel colored eyes and burn mark on his left upper arm. Yokkako, the adopted daughter Sakura Haruno, had dark blue eyes and black hair with her right bang a dark shade of green.

"Shut up! I hate complaining to you two, you're always against me! And you two are even dating which makes it worse!"

"Oh shut up idiot," Ryou said as he gave his friend a stare that said 'You're stupid'.

"Ichigo you should calm down. Your mom told me about your fever before we left. So if you keep up with your hyper attitude you'll surly faint," Yokkako warned.

"No I won't! Yoko, just because Auntie Sakura is your mom doesn't mean you can tell me-." Ichigo was then suddenly cut off when Ryou poked one of his pressures points, making him pass out.

"Awe darn," Ryou sighed. "Looks like the idiot fainted." He then turned toward his girlfriend, "Looks like we have to go on this mission without him then." Ryou then flashed Yokkako a smile.

Yokkako gave her boyfriend a dead stare. "We're not going anywhere till he gets back home. And, since you knocked him out, you're taking him home." Yokkako then let go of Ryou's hand and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Can't we just leave the idiot here," Ryou begged.

"No. Now take him home or else."

"Fine," Ryou sighed. He then formed a familiar hand sign. A big cloud then appeared and after the smoke cleared another Ryou was standing beside the real one.

"That's one way to take him back home," Yokkako said.

"Well, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I left you alone in the middle of the night," the real Ryou said as he crossed his arms and turned away out of embarrassment. "Ya, while you stay with her, I get stuck with the punishment," the clone Ryou complained as he hoisted the passed out Ichigo on his back.

"Thank you for doing this," Yokkako said to the clone.

With that the fake Ryou quickly looked away from her and went ahead and left.

Hokage mansion…

"You're brother is such an ass," Chihiro screamed as she threw a pillow at a picture of a twelve-yer-old Ichigo that was hanging on the wall.

"Ya, but he means well," Songo yelled back at her friend from the kitchen. Seconds later she walked out with two small tubs of ice cream and spoons. "Here you go. It was the last chocolate ice cream in the freezer, so you better than Ichigo for not eating it all." Songo then handed her friend the small ice cream tub.

Chihiro then gave her friend a 'thank you' and open the tub. "What the hell, that bastard already ate half of it!" Chihiro then went back into a rage and screaming about how much she hated her best friend's older brother.

The two sixteen-year-old girls were in there pajamas and were sitting in the living room, about to watch a new movie that Chihiro brought over.

"Chihiro you know Ichigo means no harm toward you. He's just teasing, he does it to everyone," Songo said as she stabbed her strawberry ice cream with her spoon.

"I don't care! He's a selfish jerk, who nonstop tortures me. And ever since I turned thirteen his 'teasing' turned into fucking sexual harassment!"

"Sorry, I think that's kind of my dad's fault." Songo said as she continued to watch herself stab her ice cream. "He's been digging into my dad's stuff from when he was our age and found some things when my dad was training with Grandpa Jiraiya. Ichigo even found a stack of papers that turned out to be an 'Makeout Paradise' book that my dad had to write during his training with Grandpa Jiraiya."

"'Makeout Paradise'? Your 'Grandpa's' method of training sounds weird," Chihiro said with a raised eyebrow.

"Ya, from what dad and Grandma Tsunade told us, Grandpa Jiraiya was a major pervert."

"Hmm," Chihiro sounded as she began to stab her ice cream with the spoon that her friend gave her. "To me it sounds like Ichigo is trying to be like your Grandpa, not your dad."

"That might be true. Or the reason why he's teasing you so much might be because he likes you," Songo said with a cheerful smile.

"Excuse me," Chihiro asked with an expression of disgust on her face.

"Well think about it; when we were little kids you would always beat up Ashitaka, and you liked him."

"Songo, I thought I told to never mention that jerk around me ever again," Chihiro said as she sunk in where she was sitting on the couch.

"Sorry," Songo said as she sunk in her seat too. "You haven't really told your parents what really happened between you two, have you," Songo asked, breaking the silence between them.

"No," Chihiro mumbled. "The only one to find out was Ryou, and I swore him to secrecy."

"Well it's been a year, and he's not part of our team anymore, so I guess you're in the clear," Songo said before she took a bite of her ice cream.

"Hopefully," Chihiro mumbled. A sad and dark aura then surrounded around Chihiro.

Songo could easily notice that her friend was saddened by the memories she was having. "Hey why don't we go ahead and watch the movie," Songo said cheerfully.

"Ok," Chihiro responded, still deep in thought about her sadden memories.
