New story! Yay! This is somewhat a continuation for the story An interesting Shinobi. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Note: There is not much of a plot so far, so don't complain to me about it.

'kay, here we go...


It was a nice spring afternoon over at the Niikyo-Uchiha household. The sun was shining warmly, and birds were twittering happily. Some flowers have already bloomed, and several bees were doing their job as pollinators. A woman with bright red hair was watering the plants in her front garden when three teenage boys bursted out of the house. They were shouting and laughing at each other, running around the front yard. The woman in a sunhat shouted to the three rambunctious teens to quit fighting, warning that she'd give them a good water-whip.

"Aw, why spoil the fun we're having?" asked the oldest boy, Yang. His black hair had grown about half a centimeter over the past four or five months.

"'Cause I don't want to be healing any black eyes and or cuts," the woman replied.

"Then you don't have to Mom." The other two brothers ran over to Yang and their mother.

"Just do what Mother says," said Hunter, the youngest son. Nhamo, the middle son, nodded in agreement with his twin brother. "She needs her energy for herself right now Yang."

"That's why I told her that she doesn't have to heal our injuries."

"Knock it off Yang. I do not want to be stressed right now, that's why I came out here to water my plants." Yang turned to his left and looked at his mother.

She was slightly shorter than him, and he had a height of nearly six feet. Her red hair was tied in a loose braid that reached the middle of her back. The woman wore a loose, light blue dress that brought out her hair and golden eyes. Her gloved right hand held a watering pot while her ungloved left hand was placed tenderly over the bump on her stomach. Yang smiled at his mother and then the bump.

"Alright," Yang said. He walked over to his mother and placed a hand on the bump. "I can't wait to meet my little sister..." Nhamo and Hunter jogged from the front porch over to them and looked at the bump.

"Mayume said that it was going to a girl right?" Nhamo asked.

"That's right," his mother said. "She also said that your sister is going to be very smart."

"Did you name her yet?" Hunter asked.

"I have a name in mind, but I have to ask your father if he would like it."

Yang took his hand off the baby bump and put his hands behind his head. "Well, Dad's coming back later today. So you can tell him then." A young woman with red hair walked out onto the porch and shouted over to the four, or five, people.

"Guys! Time for lunch!" she said.

"Coming Aunt Mayume!" shouted Yang, Nhamo, and Hunter. They began to walk over to the house, which turned into a chase when Yang smacked Hunter upside the head and made a break for it. The mother laughed and walked slowly to the front steps. Her twin sister helped her up the steps.

"How are you doing Natsumi?" Mayume asked.

The woman waved her hand. "I'm fine." She stopped for a second and placed her hand on the bump. "Hm...she kicked."

"Probably telling you to hurry up and feed her some lunch." Mayume nudged her twin inside. "Come on sis, in you go."

"Alright, alright." Natsumi walked into the house and went into the kitchen. Yin was finishing setting up the table when the Niikyo sisters came in.

Yin had grown slightly taller the last few months, and her hair had grown longer too. She had it up in a pony tail so it wouldn't get in her way. Her face was lit up with a smile when she saw Natsumi walk into the kitchen. "Hey Mom," she said. She pulled out a chair for her.

"Thanks," Natsumi said. She slowly sat down while the others followed her. Natsumi then began to eat her lunch. The family then began to start a conversation, talking about the weather, plans for the week, missions and other things. After Natsumi had finished her food, she grabbed her plate and stood up. Yang quickly got up and took the plate from her, saying that he got it while Natsumi porested.

"You shouldn't be doing too much work," Yin said.

"But I am not that far yet," Natsumi argued.

Mayume countered. "Remember, Niikyo children mature faster than most people."

"Yeah, yeah. Fine, I'll take it easy. Still, I think this one is a normal one. Last time, Nhamo and Hunter came out a bit quicker due to Niikyo blood."

"Natsumi, the baby doesn't like it when you argue and end up stressing yourself." Mayume always kept a mental ear out for her unborn niece. "She'd like you to do what we say." Mayume smiled to see Natsumi pout about her playing the baby mind card. Mayume loved the fact that she can read minds, especially when she can hear an unborn child's thoughts.

"So it's not twins again right?" Natsumi asked her twin. Mayume laughed.

"Nope, single, and it's a girl."

"Okay. Well, I'm going to be outside on the porch if you need me." Natsumi then left the kitchen and out the open front door onto the porch. She sat down on the swinging bench and pushed off gently, letting it rock her and the baby. The woman then began to hum the song You'll be in my Heartby Phil Collins. She felt the baby stir a little within her, and she smiled. Natsumi pushed off again, and the swing continued to rock the baby to sleep as she looked out past her front garden and down the dirt path, waiting for her husband to come home from his mission.

Come home soon, Sasuke-kun. I want to tell you about our daughter's name, Cari. It sounded like a good name for the baby. Cari Uchiha. A nice ring came into the name, and it made Natsumi smile at the bump on her stomach.


Hope you like the beginning so far, it's a bit short, I know. Review please!
