Kanoi: This was originally for the "Pirate" challenge in naruto100, but I missed the deadline due to being out of the country. I was pretty happy with it too, so that kinda sucked.

Sasuke: It's a miracle, no angst.

Naruto: How is that possible when you're in it?

Sasuke: I could ask you the same thing, Dobe. Since, after all, your dead mother is in it.

Naruto: -sulks in a dark corner-

Kanoi: Sasuke! –bops him on the head- You owe me a disclaimer for that.

Naruto: What about an apology?

Kanoi: …That too…

Sasuke: Disclaimer: Kanoi does not own Naruto. Non-angst would be few and far between if she did.

Naruto: What about my apology!?

"Bye, Sakura-chyan! Bye, Sasuke!" little Uzumaki Naruto called to his friends.

"Bye, Naruto," the other two children called to their friend as he ran toward his mother.

Kushina smiled brightly as her son ran into her open arms. She picked him up and spun Naruto around, her own red hair flying behind her like a brilliant fire.

"So what did you do today, my precious Naru-chan?" the woman asked her son.

"Sakura-chyan, Sasuke, and I are pirates!" Naruto announced from his perch in his mother's arms.

"Are you now?" Kushina asked with a giggle.

"Yeah! And we took over an island!" the blonde continued in excitement.

"Oh my!" the woman gasped is play-fear.

When naruto started singing about "a pirate's life," Kushina started her walk home.

Kanoi: No angst with this prompt was hard! The bonus words led to angst, as did the prompt, but the gold star was to have no angst since there's been so much in the past few challenges.

Naruto: -sniffles- Mommy…

Sasuke: For the love! At least your family wasn't slaughtered by your insane older brother!

Naruto: You're right… Poor Sasuke! –glomps Sasuke to comfort him-

Sasuke: Get off!
