Kai: 4, her and Keiko look a lot alike but she wears her dark hair in two curly pigtails and has the same as eyes as her other siblings

Always & Forever

He was a prodigy, born into a family with a prestigious heritage that much was expected of him. He didn't talk much, his mind was always focused on analytical matters, he didn't have time for fun, laughter or the warmth from the embraces his mother gave out which were laced with love. Given the name Daichi Uchiha, he wore it with pride after all, his name meant wisdom and intellect and that was exactly what he was, wise and intelligent.

Closing his large jade eyes, he allowed the silence of his bedroom to engulf him. Arms spread out across his bed, his short legs hung over the edge as his chest heaved up and down. Training had been the usual, he had practiced his aim on a few targets and now he was in his bedroom, dirty and only partially tired as the aroma of dinner reached his nose as his mother prepared dinner. Stomach grumbling softly, he heard the sound of giggling flood in through his opened window. Eyes opening, he sat up on his bed and stared blankly at his window, the soft curtains blowing in the wind. Chewing on the inside of his cheek, he slid off his bed and padded across the room towards the door.

Sliding the door open, he stepped out into the hall. Moving slowly down the hall, he caught sight of his mother in the kitchen humming sweetly. Continuing down the hall, he stopped into the foyer and slid his feet into his sandals and noticed that his were the only ones there. Shrugging, he opened the front door and stepped out into the hot August evening. His footfalls were soft and only a bit over a whisper as he stared down into the compound's empty streets from where he stood on the front porch.

The sound of wheels on the stone streets reached his ears, before a red blur zoomed by him and he heard innocent giggles then he spotted a small girl riding a tricycle peddle on by. Watching her, Daichi's eyes softened and when she lost her footing and her tricycle hit a stone she fell off it and landed on the hard floor. At the sight of the blood on her knees, she started to cry loudly and instantly Daichi was beside her. Soft fingers lifting her small leg, he inspected the scratch before he stared into her identical jade eyes which were shaking dangerously and leaking tears from the corners.

"Are you alright Kai?" He asked and she nodded, her bottom lip trembling as he pushed a strand of ebony hair out of her cute face. "Hey!" A loud shrill sounded and looking up both kids watched as a short thin girl dressed in a red sleeveless shirt and black biker shorts skated towards them, her long black hair held up in a high ponytail and with every stride it swayed from side to side

Skidding to a stop in front of the two, she blinked for a moment as she licked her pink lips and at sight of the blood on her little sister's knees she crouched forward and poked the skin around it and Kai winced. "Keiko!" Daichi shouted and the said girl looked up at him and laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck apologetically. "Sorry," she mumbled and her brother looked past her. "It hurts aniki," Kai cried as her large eyes shook dangerously and Daichi chewed on the inside of his cheek before he came to a decision. Their mother was a medic, she would know what to do. "C'mon Kai –chan," he said helping his sister up and taking her hand he carried her inside their house.

Keiko just sat there for a moment before she decided to follow her siblings. Getting up, she glided towards her sister's tricycle and grabbing the handlebars she parked it on their lawn before sitting on the front porch and tugging on her blades. The sound of footfalls approaching reached her ears, and looking up she spotted the familiar tall form of her father. Smiling broadly, she ripped her skates off and stood up tall, waving as he got closer.

"Konichiwa tousan!" She shouted and her father Sasuke Uchiha, ANBU captain and a very talented shinobi stared at his daughter and smiled as she ran at him. He caught her before twirling her around while she giggled, letting her head fall backwards. Pulling her to him, he kissed her forehead as she stared into his onyx orbs with her jade ones. "Where's Daichi and Kai?" He asked and Keiko pursed her lips, "with Kaa –san. Kai –chan scraped her knees. "She stated and Sasuke's brows furrowed but Keiko only frowned at him.

"Don't do that tousan!" She stated as she flattened out his brows, her face determined and he smirked at how much she resembled her mother doing it. "I'm sorry Keiko –chan," he said and she grinned and kissed his nose softly. "let's go inside," he stated putting her down and as soon as her small bare feet came into contact with the wood she ran down the steps and grabbed her sandals off the grass. Heading back to her waiting dad, she grabbed his hand with her smaller one and tugged on it.

Daichi sat at the table, watching as his mother healed his sister's wound. "Is that better koishii?" She asked and Kai nodded as a genuine smile plastered itself onto the face of Sakura, top mednin and apprentice of the fifth hokage. Leaning forward, she kissed her daughter's forehead and tugged playfully on her pigtails. "Tousan's home!" Keiko announced as she skipped into the hall pulling her father behind her. Everyone's attention turned to the two newcomers and Kai grinned broadly.

"Tousan!" She shouted and launched at her father who picked her up and cradled her in his arms. Smiling, Sakura stood up and wiped her hands on her pale pink apron as her jade orbs locked on the handsome dark haired man before her who was currently blowing raspberries on his youngest daughter's stomach while she giggled. "Hello tousan," Daichi greeted formally and Sasuke smiled at his eldest who sat at the table, fingers laced and chin resting on them.

"Kaa –san is dinner ready yet?" Keiko asked but Sakura shook her head and Keiko placed her hands on her small hips and pouted and Sakura mimicked her perfectly. "Everyone out of the kitchen…you're making me claustrophobic!" The rosette shrieked and knowing their mother's instant mood swings, they quickly dashed out of the kitchen but she stopped her husband.

Releasing his wrist, she wrapped her arms around his neck and bore into his onyx orbs with her jade ones. "How was your day?" She asked softly as he rested his forehead against hers. "Okay…could have been better if I had seen you before I left this morning." He whispered and she smiled shyly her face heating up as their lips grazed softly. After being married for nine years, he still had that affect on her heart. "I love you Sasuke –kun…so I need you to…keep the kids out of trouble until dinner's ready." She ordered pulling away before they could kiss and turning her heels she moved towards the stove, leaving her husband to gawk at her. A smirk graced his lips as he exited the kitchen after his eyes roamed over her thin form once more. "You're cruel Sakura," she could only smile as she hummed to herself…she always won.

After dinner they had allowed their kids to lay on the front lawn and stare up at the stars, just how they had done when they were younger. Keiko and Kai pointed small fingers up at the glowing ball of gas that adorned the dark sky while they giggled heads hitting. Daichi stared up at the sky, hands behind his head as his mind traveled a million miles away.

"Aniki!" Keiko and Kai chorused and glancing in their direction he caught the both of them sitting up and grinning broadly at him. "Can we lay with you?" Keiko asked and remaining silent for a moment he nodded and the two girls crawled towards him and laid down. Staring back up at the sky, Daichi pointed out the constellations that he knew and they all laughed as crickets chirped in the stillness of the hot night.

"Look! A shooting star…make a wish!" Keiko shouted and the three closed their eyes and subconsciously they intertwined their fingers with one another and made their wishes. Later Sasuke and Sakura would find them sleeping soundly, a small smile on their faces and their fingers laced. They would never forget their wishes even if they had been a bit selfish because moments like these were always and forever.
