Three figure moved at a steady pace towards the ever changing Konoha. The tallest appeared to be a women in her early 20's her once short pink tresses now reach the middle of her waist. Her soft apple orbs glowing with happiness at the sight of her old home. Yes the women woman walking the trail to her home land is Sakura Haruno the Godaime Hokage's favorite apprentice. "Okaa-san where are we?" a small four year girl road on a huge wolf right beside sakura. "Well Kana we are going back to my old village some friends of mine told me there is a problem that we need to come see." Kana smiled brightly to her mother " hey did you hear that Tsuki we get to see okaa-san's village" The huge black wolf nodded to the small child. "Kana there is some one in this village that is very precious to me I want you to be on you best behavior." the small girl nodded to her mother "oh kana you messed up you braid again come here and let me fix it." kana hopped off tsuki and walked up to a kneeling sakura. With a small brush sakura started to braid her daughters thick brown hair. "There you go all nice and neat" kana turned to her mother "okaa-san why are you crying ?" sakura stared into kana's bright greens eyes and smiled "you just look so much like your father except for your eyes you have the same eyes I do." sakura warped her lean arms around kana and gave the child a hug. " I love you my sweet little puppy" kana just giggled at the nickname "okaa-san why do you always call me puppy?" sakura gave her daughter a kind smile "I'll tell you in a while lets head for our new home." sakura stopped for a moment "oh tsuki I have some thing for you" the wolf walked up to sakura "yes sakura what is it?" after digging in her pack for a while sakura pulled out one of her old ninja head bands. "This is for you" after tying the clothe around tsuki's neck sakura checked how it looked. "Okay so that is done here sweetie but this cape on" sakura put the small red cape around kana. Then she put a black cape on her self. "Kana do you remember what the big white O on the back of your cape means?" kana smiled at sakura "yep it means that you and I are a part of the Haruno family" sakura gave a small smile " you take more after me then I thought, you are getting so smart." Kana smiled at her mother "hey okaa-san can we train when we get there?" Sakura smiled "yep" young kana jumped on the waiting tsuki "Then what are we waiting for LETS GO" sakura sighed 'so much like her father' 'well what do you expect that is kiba's daughter.' sakura sighed again. As they were walking towads the gate a jounin poofed right in front of them. With a bored look the jounin turned to sakura " This is so troublesome but do you have a pass to get into Konoha?" sakura smirked "Still as lazy as ever aren't we Shikamaru?" he looked at sakura " do I know you?" sakura moved her hood "well you should we have been friends for a while" shikamaru smirked "well look who is back, Ino is never going to shut up that troublesome woman" sakura stuck her tongue out at him. "Oh shikamaru I have someone for you to meet this is Kana" shikamaru turned towards the small girl who removed her hood too. "Nice to meet you shika-san" shikamaru nodded at her "Your kid sakura?" she nodded and shikamaru poofed away "go in I'll see you later" sakura nodded "thanks now you can get back to your nap." sakura moved forward as the gates start to open. "Kana we have to go see Tsunade-sama before we can go home" kana nodded to sakura . While walking near Ichiraku's ramen stand sakura spotted Naruto and Hinata eating. "Hey kana here is some yen for you to get a bowl of ramen, now I want you to listen closely stay close to the man in the orange with yellow hair and if he is mean to you when I come back I will deal with him now you be a good girl and go bug him." Kana nodded happily "be good I'll be back in an hour come on tsuki your coming with me" the wolf nodded as her and sakura watched young kana walk into the ramen stand . As they left kana had the hardest time getting up onto the stool so she did the first thing that came to mind. As naruto was eating his 12th bowl of ramen he felt a small tug at his pants that caught his attention. Naruto looked down to see a little girl with big green eyes and brown hair looking at him. "yea?" she smiled at him "Mister cam you help get onto the stool I can't reach." naruto smiled at her "sure, here you go" then naruto helped kana into the seat " that is so sweet naruto-kun" kana smiled at hinata. "You have pretty hair lady" hinata smiled "thank you oh and I'm Hinata." kana smiled at hinata " thank you for your help naruto-san but why do you have marks on you face? Did some one use oil pen on your face when you were sleeping?" Hinata laughed at naruto's face "okay kid your cute but don't push it" kana stuck her tongue out at naruto. While kana and naruto were glaring at each other Kiba and Akamaru walked into the stand. " Hey hinata why is naruto glaring at a kid?"

Hinata just sighed "she thought that naruto's whiskers were oil markings on his face." Kiba laughed "I like this kid already." Akamaru walked up to kana and sniffed her kana turned "hello" akamaru gave a happy yip to kana While the others were talking or in kiba and naruto's case arguing kana hopped on akamaru's back. "Hey akamaru can you take me to my okaa-san, this is what she smells like." Akamaru smelled sakura's coin purse and gave a happy yip. "You know who my okaa-san is?" akamaru nodded and walked out of the ramen stand. As they turned and walked down the village towards were sakura was kiba and naruto finally stopped their arguing. By the time the group of three noticed that they were missing. Akamaru and kana were at the Hokage's tower. "So this is where she is ?" akamaru nodded as the two walked by shizune the poor women was packed with tsunade's papers. When they got to the door kana opened the door for both her and akamaru. "Hey sakura do you know who just walked in?" sakura turned to see kana . When she looked down her smile turned into shock. "Tsunade this is my daughter kana" tsunade smiled "so this is the child" sakura nodded. "Kana why are you with akamaru I thought I told you to stay with naruto and hinata?" kana just smiled "okaa-san I was worried so I asked akamaru to bring me to you." Sakura took a deep breath " okay tsunade I have to go and find kiba and return akamaru. Lets go kana" kana knew her mom was a little mad but sakura never yelled at her so she calmly had akamaru follow sakura out of the hokage tower. "Well lets see come here akamaru lets see how well you've grown" the dog yipped and walked to sakura to get a good scratch behind the ears. "AKAMARU WHERE ARE YOU?" sakura giggled "well kana you took kiba's dog from him I'm proud but kiba is my friend so you can't steel his dog get it." kana giggled happily so the tall doggy man is a friend" sakura smiled "yes and akamaru is his dog." sakura turned and pull her hood up and walked back into town towards where kiba's chakra was located. "Kana you do know I didn't want to see him right away now I have see him." kana just giggled. 'our daughter is going to be the death of us' 'yes I know better just get this over with' When they finally got to the training grounds kiba, hinata, and naruto were running around calling akamaru's name. Sakura grabbed kana and put her on tsuki who watched akamaru bark happily to the group of people. Kiba turned toward their direction sakura felt her heart beat speed up 'he is still hot after all these years'. Kana hopped off tsuki and ran with akamaru up to the group "Hey I'm sorry I took your dog kiba-san" sakura started to panic as kiba's eyes got big. "Kana enough we are leaving" kana started to whine "but okaa-san I want to stay and talk to kiba-san." Kiba turned his head in sakura's direction and a smirk came to his face "so sa-ku-ra this is your kid?" sakura started to panic but before she could rush off kiba was in front of her. In one quick movement the hood on sakura's head was flinged back and her pink hair flowed down her back. Kiba gave a slight growl "women do you know how worried I was when you left. But my question is why did you leave even when you were pregnant." Sakura sighed "it was for a mission I didn't even know I was pregnant with kana until during the mission so I had to keep that on hold until she was born and guess what is just like you and naruto." by now sakura was in tears. Kiba laughed "well I'm happy your finally back. So who is the lucky man?" sakura sighed "I haven't seen her father in a while so just don't talk to her about a father I don't want her to feel neglected because I left him." But before kiba could answer kana came running up to sakura. "Hey what's wrong sweetie?" kana told sakura that naruto called her a spoiled pest. "NARUTO" poor naruto almost pissed his pants. But all fear was lost as he looked at the older sakura. "SAKURA-CHAN" then with a running start naruto pounced on poor sakura. "hey you dope leave my okaa-san alone" a stunned naruto turned to kana "sakura-chan is your mother?" kana nodded her head. "Wait sakura-chan is kana teme's kid?" sakura growled at him "no, now get off, you think my sweet child is related to that I don't think so." Sakura and naruto turn to look at a growling akamaru and tsuki ready to jump on naruto. "akamaru and tsuki sit now" both animals obeyed the command. "You never cease to amaze me sakura" kiba watched both animals as they listened to sakura. Naruto finally let sakura up who was engulfed by a huge hug from kana. Laughter caught all of their attention as the normally quite hinata broke the silence with her laughter. "Now I know who kana reminds me of, she acts like kiba when he was her age." sakura froze and look at every one. But kana's laughter broke their laughing "I act like kiba-san?" but before any one could answer kana "come on kana I still need to find us a place to stay and it is late." all little kana did was have a fit. "But I want to stay and talk to everyone" kiba grabbed kana and put her on his shoulders "you can stay with akamaru and I" sakura started to panic "I don't know kiba what about your family?" Kiba gave a laugh " I have my own apartment come on your welcome unless you want to stay with naruto." poor sakura's face paled three shades just thinking about the possibility oh what horrors kana and herself would have to face. "No it's fine we'll stay with you" kiba laughed at sakura's face. As they walk towards kiba's apartment sakura was holding a sleeping kana laughing with kiba as akamaru tried to get tsuki's attention. "I think your dog likes my wolf" kiba chuckled "well she is pretty no wonder, but why do you have a wolf companion any way?" sakura smiled "well when I dated you I just fell in love with akamaru and then one day on my travels I found tsuki stranded and lost as a puppy so I took her in and she's been with me ever since." Kiba turned up a street to a small apartment complex. "Well this is home sweet home" he looked down to kana who was sleeping "I still can't believe that you're a mother sakura" she snuggled kana even closer "well this is my baby and I love her dearly, so my charming friend why don't I see a wife that is coming to great you at the door." Kiba stared off into space for a moment "well the only girl I liked left me" sakura slowly leaned into kiba and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek. "Well I'm back now" he smiled "yes but it's not just you" he moved so that she could get into the apartment. "Here will put her in the extra room" he went down the hall past the kitchen and living room and towards the end of the hall on the right. "This should do fine for her but we have to pick some stuff for her later." Kiba watched from the door as sakura tucked kana into the twin sized bed. "good night my sweet little puppy" then turning to kiba she walked out as he closed the door softly. "Kiba you hungry I'll make us something? Oh what am I saying you are always hungry" kiba chuckled at sakura "well you still have a sense of humor" sakura smiled "what kind of person would I be if I can't make someone laugh" kiba shook his head "you would be sasuke" sakura growled at him "I don't find that very amusing Mr.Inuzuka" kiba gave her a deep laugh. "So do you want to eat or be sarcastic?" but before kiba could answer sakura moved town the hall towards the kitchen.

'men I've been a way from this man for four years and he still annoys the shit out of me'

'well what can I say we have very weird taste in me'

'What exactly are you saying that we have a twisted sense of taste in men'

'nope I'm saying that you do not me I'm the innocent bystander here'

'You innocent ha Orochimaru is even more innocent then you are'

'that is cold even for you outer'

'just go back to whatever dark crevice in my mind that you came from'

"Ah sakura are you okay I've been trying to get your attention for a while" sakura snapped out of talking with outer who went off to sulk in a dark corner. "oh I'm sorry kiba-kun what is the matter?" kiba just shrugged " you kind of spaced off for a minute and you didn't move at all" sakura started to laugh at her own stupidity "well I was just thinking" then sakura moved into the kitchen "kiba how about some curry?" sakura waited a few moments before he spoke "sure I haven't had your curry in four years so that sounds great." sakura chuckled "you are such a suck up what next are you going to be a pain in the ass after I feed you?" kiba smiled "most likely" sakura shook her head as the curry as cooking. "Kiba what are the animals doing?" kiba moved out of the room to find were tsuki and akamaru disappeared to. After a couple minutes kiba came back "their a sleep in kana's room" sakura moved from the stove and sat in one of kiba's kitchen chairs. "It feels weird being home" kiba moved to set next to her "yea you surprised a lot of us today" sakura smiled and moved to kiba's side to give him a big hug "I really missed you dog man" kiba hugged her back also "sakura why did you never come back after the mission until now?" sakura sighed " I had to wait until she was old enough to travel." kiba nodded "yes kana's safety will always come first." sakura smiled at him "so the great and rude kiba is falling in love with my kid" kiba just gave her a fanged grin. "Woman go check on the curry I think it is done" sakura smiled "well your nose always knows what's best." kiba's nose always was amazing she got to the curry just when the it hit the perfect temp. When she came back kiba was looking out the window. "here you go nice and hot" kiba grinned and grabbed his fork. When eating with Naruto and Kiba there are a few golden rules . 1. Keep on guard for flying food 2.watch where you put your hands 3.be ready to slap them on the back if they choke and the last and most crucial step 4.never let your kids watch for bad habits happen early. With a very irritated growl sakura ate her food quietly. When kiba was done sakura took the plates to was them "kiba I don't want kana to pick up your table manners, so be neat or I'll use you for kunai practice." Kiba looked up in shock as sakura finished the rest of her curry. "Yes ma'am" sakura just smirked. "Well I'm going to hit the sack see you tomorrow" sakura put her plate in the sink and curled up on the couch with a blanket. "Night sakura" she yawned "night" then kiba switched off the lights and headed to bed.
