Me: Wow… This is probably the quickest I've updated a story… That's what I said two months ago.
Temari: *Checking her watch* Nope, you updated My Passion For The Stage twice in one day
Me: Damn…
Matsuri: Meh, give her a break Temari, this story is much longer in chapters, MPFTS only had like 1000 words each chapter, this one has what, 4000 to 5000
Me: IN YOH FACE!
Gaara: So, we have the backshit crazy girls here, now what are we doing here?
Me: Well Gaara-kun, you and Shika-Kika-kun happen to be my second and third favourite male characters ^_^
Temari: Who's your favourite?
Me: Naruto, duh ^_^
Temari: Right…
Me: SHIKA-KIKA-KUUUUUN! DISCLAIMER!
Shikamaru: *Yawns* Mondokuse… Spark doesn't own Naruto only the children and her weird twisted idea of this plot.
Me: ^_^
Eighteen year old Naruto Uzamaki grumbled incoherently, staring at the seemingly growing pile of mission report paperwork that seemed to be spawning itself when he wasn't looking. "I will find you, multiplying, sex-crazed mission reports," he hissed making Shikamaru, who was behind him, facepalm and sweatdrop amazingly at the same time.
Sasuke smacked the 'dobe' over the head and growled, "Hurry up, baka, we need to file these mission reports and give them to Tsunade-sama ASAP," Naruto made a face at Sasuke's growls and rolled his eyes. "Well if you want it finished so damn quickly then you sign and fill out the spawning mission reports," he snapped, eyeing the stacks of paperwork evilly.
Neji gave him a look, his face bored and emotionless like always, "I don't think he's had much sleep," he muttered loud enough for only Shikamaru to hear, his response being a yawn and a nod.
Naruto and Sasuke's continuous insults shot back and forth across the room and Shikamaru was growing increasingly bored of it, finally, his patience snapped and he just walked leisurely over, picked up the pen, and started writing out reports so fast his hand was just a blur, heck, even Neji's eyes couldn't keep up with him.
"Done," Shikamaru droned, a bored tone resonating from his lips. Naruto and Sasuke looked over and sweatdropped animatedly at the sight of neatly stacked paperwork, all signed and filed, "O-Oh…"
Meanwhile
"WOOHOO!" A scream of utter joy perpetuated the air, "ONE MORE TIME KAA-SAN, JUST ONE MORE TIME!" "You said that last time hun," "Mouuuuu!"
Sakura was obviously amused, smiling lightly and shaking her head at a small black blur rushed past her in utter excitement, "THIS IS SO FUN!"
Ino came and stood beside her friend, "She's only 2 all of them are… How is it possible that they all talk so fluently when they're so small?" Sakura shook her head, it was beyond her. Suddenly what Ino has said hit her, "Two?" she whispered, she turned her head slightly to the left, there she saw Konoha's Hokage building. She then looked up, "It's time… to go home..."
Back To The Dobe, The Teme, The Emotionless Bastard and The Genius
A giant thud resonated throughout the Hokage Tower as the Godaime's office door was slammed open. "Baa-chan!" Naruto hollered, "We're baaaack!" Tsunade rolled her eyes affectionately, "I can see that Naruto. Was the mission successful?" "Noooo, Baa-chan! That's exactly why we're not dead ad here chatting with you!" "DON'T YOU BE SARCASTIC WITH ME GAKI!" (thud) "OW! BAA-CHAN!"
Shikamaru idly placed the mission papers on Tsunade's desk, yawning with a bored expression, ignoring the conversation between the Godaime and Naruto themselves. Neji and Sasuke leaned against the wall, casually and patiently waiting for the completely pointless argument to end. Shikamaru joined them after his six step trip to the desk and back. "Remind me again why Naruto was chosen to be Tsunade-sama's successor?" Neji muttered, his eyes rolling up. "Because he's the most powerful ninja in this village, heck, maybe even the shinobi world," Shikamaru deadpanned making Sasuke facepalm.
Tsunade just sighed and stepped back, "Silence, silence. I called you here for a reason, Naruto, you better not be opening your mouth to say I didn't call you here. That's what I thought. Just letting you know that the girls are coming home."
Silence… Cricket, cricket… Explosion….
"WHAT!"
Tsunade rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples. "Just like I said; the girls are coming home."
Naruto shook his head, "Yeah, yeah, we heard you the first time Baa-chan. But… Today? Now?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes again, "Yes, now, Gaki."
*Creak, creak* "Well that was quick…" Tsunade muttered, watching the wooden door swing back and forth, making a rather irritating creaking sound. And the boys? They were nowhere in damn bloody sight.
Sakura sighed and smiled, the wind blowing through her beautiful, waist-length, cherry pink hair. She was seated on a low branch on a small tree on the Team 7 training grounds. "Wow… This wasn't my training ground but it really brings back memories…" Sakura turned her emerald green eyes to look at her best friend who was walking slowly along the grounds. Ino's knee-length, platinum blonde hair was flowing in the same direction as Sakura, only, unlike hers, it was restrained by a hairband, aside from her bangs. Her cerulean blue eyes turned on Sakura. "I admit it… I missed this place…"
Sakura smiled and looked up again. "Me too… Ino-pig…'
A vein popped on Ino's forehead, "WE WERE HAVING A LOVELY MOMENT FOREHEAD, YOU JUST HAD TO RUIN IT DIDN'T YOU!" Sakura snapped back with the exact amount of vigor, "PAHLEASE! IF I DIDN'T CRACK, YOU WOULD'VE PIGGY!"
From near the river, Tenten and Hinata sweatdropped and sighed. "They just couldn't go ten minutes without going at each other's throats could they?" Hinata asked, rolling her eyes, laying back and dipping her long, midnight blue/black hair into the cool river, her lavender eyes watching the sky with content looks. Tenten smiled down at Hinata before looking at Sakura and Ino who were still going at it. "No fucking kidding…" she laughed then covered her mouth slightly while Hinata poked one of her chocolate brown panda buns. "Oops… No swearing… I forgot…" Tenten whispered, her beautiful silver/grey eyes twitching.
Hinata was laughing her ass off and nearly fell in the river, "OH! YOU'RE AN IDIOT TENNIE!"
"Oh… Mommy…" Tenten and Hinata froze at the voice and Tenten's head turned slowly and animatedly towards a little 2 year old boy who was about two feet tall with amused lavender eyes and long, coffee brown hair. "Y-Yes, darling?"
The boy smirked… "I heard that…"
"NOOOOOO!" Tenten cried dramatically, falling into the river which made Hinata crack up laughing even more and fall in right after her. "Nice one Ryuu!" Ino called, laughing. Sakura was lying on her back on the branch and kicking her legs in the air while laughing. Ryuu sweatdropped, "Sakura-nee… If you keep laughing like that you're going to-"
THUD!
"-fall out of the tree," Ryuu finished, deadpan and sighing. Tenten climbed out of the water half-way and rested her head on her arms, the only appendages that were out of the water, 'Ryuu… acts so much… and looks so much like… him…' she thought, her eyelids lowering.
Suddenly, Ryuu's byakugan activated very, very, very abruptly making Tenten jump out of the water and take out a kunai. "Sorry, Okaa-san… Just a bird…" Ryuu said making Tenten anime fall. "Don't scare me like that god dammit…" Tenten muttered making Ryuu shrug.
Hinata jumped up and onto the water, sitting on it lightly in the lotus position, "So how's life?" she asked all the girls making them all facepalm. Sakura got into a more comfortable position on the ground where she had fallen out of her darling tree and cradled her head in her arms, "Honestly Hina, you've been asking us that question for years, don't you live with us?" Hinata shrugged, "Force of habit."
Suddenly, a girl came out from behind a large tree located at the side of the training grounds, "I heard a splash," she said calmly, honestly, she was no older than Ryuu but… like the boy, she was also rather clever. Ino cracked up laughing again, "Oh, that was your idiot aunts falling into the river," she said cheerfully, pointing at Hinata and Tenten who gave her the finger.
Sakura sweatdropped, "We are terrible representatives and influences to our children…" she muttered, then smiling at the little girl in front of her, "Isn't that right, Shamara?" 'Shamara' smiled and nodded merrily, "Hai, Kaa-san," Ino immediately had hearts in her eyes, "She's just… too cute!" Shamara was indeed cute with long black hair with natural pink highlights and chipper onyx eyes, she, too, stood at around two feet.
Sakura whacked Ino over the head, "If you wish to faun over a dear child, go to Shikaru, he's over there," the pinkette hissed, pointing over at yet another 2 year old who was leaning against another tree and was gazing up at the clouds with lazy eyes, his dark hair pulled into a high and spiky ponytail. Ino blinked, "Good plan," she said cheerfully and bounded over to Shikaru who, though looking annoyed, was obviously happy to see his mother.
Hinata, from her position on the water watched Tenten arguing with a perfectly calm and nonchalant Ryuu, Sakura playing with little Shamara on her lap as the girl giggled while Ino hugged little Shikaru from behind with a content smile. Hinata smiled then looked up at the sky, "Our children, even the girls, look so much like their fathers. Ryuu and Shikaru are practically mirror images." She looked down again, "Wait a minute… Where's-"
Her murmured thoughts were cut off when a very high pitched squeal came from afar, "Ow! Ow! Ow! Mummy! TEENA IS CHASING ME!" a little girl with long blonde pigtails and bright blue eyes with whisker marks on both her cheeks ran towards Hinata with inhuman speed, ending up right in front of her and doing a quick flip over her mother's shoulders.
Hinata smiled fondly at the girl, "It's okay, Kihanna," Hinata laughed, "Teena wouldn't hurt you," Kihanna made a face, "Yes she would Mama, oh yes she would!" she said this in an incredibly husky and deep voice which made Hinata crack up and lose her concentration, falling into the river as a result. Kihanna had endless energy, it was admirable actually…
And reminded Hinata of Naruto WAY too much…
Sasuke flipped through the village, his eyes, fully activated sharingan, staring out over the city, "C'mon, c'mon," he heard Naruto growl next to him. They were both charging through the east side of the city at a speed the Yondaime would be proud of. They were running like madmen, you probably would too…
Naruto stopped at a tree near the beginning of the training grounds, "KAMI WHERE ARE THEY!?" He screamed in absolute irritation. "Che, calm down dobe. If Lady Tsunade said they were back then they're back." Naruto gave him a look, "What?" Sasuke muttered.
"Oh please, we may have a done a good job at fooling the other guys that we didn't care too much about the girls departure but you cannot fool me, Teme. I'm your best friend." Naruto said calmly. Sasuke flinched slightly, "Dammit… Can we just…. Look for the girls please!" he grumbled, annoyed. Naruto smirked and jumped away after him, "YOU CAN'T FOOL ME TEME! I CAN READ YOU LIKE AN OPEN BOOK!"
Tenten was sharpening her weapons on the training field looking nonchalant, Ryuu leaning against her, asleep, when suddenly, her hand shot out and the kunai she was sharpening was no longer in her hand. Kiba stepped out of the bushes, holding the kunai between two fingers and looking guilty and sheepish.
Hinata looked up from the river and stood, walking over to the young man with an expressionless face, "Hello, Inuzuka-san, can we help you?" Kiba flinched at how cold Hinata's voice sounded and how she didn't use his real name. "I deserve that…" he murmured quietly. Sakura and Ino came over from where they'd been watching things play out, "Deserve what?" Sakura said quietly.
"Deserve the cold looks, the distance… Everything… Two and a half years ago, you heard us talking about you… Everything." He got down on one knee and bowed his head, "I am so…so…so sorry, I don't even have the right to be apologising after everything we guys said… But really, I am so sorry…"
All four girls looked down at him, "He's telling the truth," a quiet voice murmured and they all turned to see Shikaru looking at Kiba in wonder but forgiveness. Trusting her son's judgement, Ino's cold expression suddenly melted into a warm smile, as did it with the other girls. Hinata reached out her hand, "We forgive you, Kiba-kun." She said cheerfully with a full on smile. Kiba smiled and took Hinata's hand as she helped him up.
He then realized something, "Erm… who are the…erm…kids?" he asked looking like a confused dog… Which was technically what he was…kinda… "Our children," Sakura said cheerfully. Kiba held up a finger to say, 'wait' and then took a bottle of water from his pouch, filled it up at the river, walked back, drank some, and then spat it out, "YOUR WHAT!?" he yelled. Tenten and Ino sweatdropped and Hinata smiled, "Hai, Kiba-kun. Our children, we were pregnant before we even left…" Kiba looked confused as ever, "What! How! When! Who?"
All the girls gave him a look and he nodded, "You're right…stupid question… What! How! When?" All the girls gave him another look and he nodded again, "Another dumb question…What! How?" All the girls gave him a very ticked off look, "…I'm being stupid… aren't I…. What?" "KIBA I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT!" All the girls snapped making him recoil in fear.
He sighed, "So names?" he asked, raising a brow. Sakura picked up the little black haired toddler from the ground where she had been taking a nap and her eyes slowly opened, "This is Shamara. Say hi to Kiba Shamara!" Shamara looked at Kiba and reached over, patting him on the head, "Hello, Kiba!" she said as cheerfully as she could in her half-asleep state before falling back to unconsciousness. Kiba looked at Sakura, "Pink highlights?" she put her hands up in a surrendering form, "Natural! I swear!" Kiba took a look at Sakura's hair and nodded, completely believing her.
Tenten nodded to her left arm, "This is Ryuu," at the mention of his name, Ryuu opened his eyes slowly and nodded at Kiba before nodding off. (A/N: See what I did there?). Kiba smirked, "The emotionless bastard?" he asked Tenten who shrugged, "Depends on which one you're talking about," she said cheerfully. "The clan icecube." "Yep that's the one?" Tenten laughed.
Ino pointed over at the wide awake little boy next to his tree, "Shikaru," Shikaru raised his hand in greeting before looking on. Kiba looked at Ino, "Pineapple…" that set Ino off pretty quickly, she fell into mountains of giggles.
Kiba slowly turned to look at Hinata who was smiling at something near the river. She quietly walked over and picked up something then came back, cuddling the bundle to her chest. "This is Kihanna," she said quietly and placed the girl on the floor. She woke up instantly. "HOLY MARY MOTHER OF JESUS! IS THAT A HUMAN DOG!" Kihanna squealed cheerfully before clambering onto Kiba's shoulder. She cuddled up to him, "He smells like doggies." She said, giggling. Kiba stared at her, his mouth wide with shock. He slowly looked back at HInata, "She… is the mirror image of her father." He choked under his breath, looking at the girl in wonder as she flittered around. Hinata smiled sadly, "I know."
Sakura smiled, "Well, Kiba-kun, the girls and I," she looked at the kids, "And the kids… will be going to see Tsunade-sama!" "Who?" Kihanna asked from her place on Akamaru's head. (Don't ask…) Hinata smiled, "The Fifth Hokage… The Godaime… The one who also delivered you," Kihanna's eyes were wide as dinner plates, "She sounds awesome!" Kiba smiled and hoisted himself onto Akamaru's back, "Well, it's good to see you again girls, good luck in meeting Tsunada-sama!" and with that, Kiba was off.
The girls waved goodbye as Kihanna yawned and clung onto Hinata's shoulder. Hinata smiled and cradled Kihanna in her arms as the blonde fell asleep. "Let's get going," she said cheerfully, the other girls nodded.
Naruto and Sasuke met up with Shikamaru and Neji in Team 7's old training grounds. "We can't find 'em," Naruto sighed, rubbing his temple; he could feel a migraine coming on.
Kiba suddenly walked into the grounds on Akamaru, "Hey guys, who ya looking for?" he asked cheerfully. Neji looked over at Kiba, "The girls are back in the village Kiba," Kiba blinked, "I know, I've already spoken to them," In two seconds flat, the guys were in front of Kiba, "What? Where?" Shikamaru hissed. Kiba gave them a bored expression, "Right here…where we're standing…"
All four boys gave him an exasperated look and he snorted, "I'm telling the truth guys, I got no reason to lie." Neji frowned, "Where are they now?" Kiba looked at him silently and hoisted up on Akamaru, starting to ride away. "Oi!" Sasuke snapped, "Hyuuga asked you a question Inuzuka!" Kiba gave Sasuke a bored look, "Look, Uchiha, I don't think the girls want to see you right now. I know where they are but I'm sure as hell not gonna let them feel uncomfortable," With that, Kiba rode off with a satisfied grin.
Naruto looked confused, "Of us? Why the hell would they be uncomfortable around us?" Sasuke and Neji 'hn'd' while Shikamaru just completely ignored the blonde as they all set off to the Hokage Tower to see if the girls had been found. Naruto growled, walking after them, "Of course my closest friends have to be human ice-cubes," he muttered under his breath, flicking his ankles and flipping through the village along with the three 'ice-cubes'.
A knock sounded on the cherry wood door of the Hokage's office and Tsunade herself growled, a vein popping on her head before she yelled, "GOD DAMMIT GAKI! I ALREADY TOLD YOU THE GI-" she stopped mid-scream as four familiar and four unfamiliar faces stepped into the room. "Girls," she whispered, finishing her sentence and greeting them at the same time. Sakura walked up to her and smiled, bowing her head in respect, "Shishou," Tsunade pulled the pinkette into a ferocious hug, "Oh Sakura… Welcome back," she murmured.
The blonde looked up at the other three, "GET IN HERE YOU THREE!" she snapped and all three girls rushed into the older woman's embrace. After five minutes of cooing and squeezing and hugging, Tsunade finally released the Kunoichi of Konoha. "Now…" she said, looking at the four small two year olds, "Who are these little ones?"
Sakura smiled, "Shamara," Shamara raced forward until she was in front of Tsunade and bowed low, "Nice to meet you, Hokage-sama," she said in a cute little girl voice. Tsunade patted her head, "Hello Shamara-chan," Shamara giggled and nuzzled into the embrace.
Ino smirked, "Shikaru," Shikaru walked up to her and bowed his head slightly in greeting, "Hi Hokage-sama," Tsunade grinned and looked at Ino with an expression that said, 'this kid looks exactly like his father, you know that right,' Ino returned with a grin and a nod of her own. "Nice to meet you Shikaru-kun,"
Tenten gently pushed the small boy forward, "Ryuu," she said calmly. Ryuu looked up at the Hokage and nodded in respect, knowing he needn't speak to show he admired her. Tsunade's eye twitched in shock again and gave Tenten the same look she had given Ino. Tenten shook her head with a slight smile, knowing full well her Godaime was right.
Hinata giggled, "Kihanna." All Tsunade saw was a blonde girl when suddenly she was being embraced by a tiny girl with blonde pigtails, whisker marks and bright blue eyes, "Tsunade-baachan!" she called, giggling cutely. Tsunade nearly cried, this little girl was adorable! Then she realized how she looked and what she had just said and nearly fainted at their likeness. "Kihanna!" Hinata gasped, shocked but unable to hide her smile. Kihanna smiled, "Mama! I can see right through the jutsu she's using! And anyway, you told me that the legendary sannin were OLD!" Sakura, Ino and Tenten were rocking with uncontrollable spasms of silent laughter while Hinata just rolled her eyes good-naturedly.
"NE! BAA-SAN! HAVE YOU SEEN-" the door burst open again, seriously, someone should knock. And in came Naruto who immediately shut up as he took in the scene in front of him. Out of reflex, the girls had grabbed their children and retreated to Tsunade's side of the room. "Ne, dobe, what's the hold up?" Sasuke snapped from behind Naruto, "Dobe…DOBE!"
But Naruto couldn't listen; he felt like he had been given an ultimate pang in the chest. He stared at the beautiful nineteen year old kunoichi in front of him who was holding a little girl who was staring at him with wonder in her eyes. He…never realized he had missed Hinata so much… And now she was here, right in front of him, looking into his eyes with mixed emotions.
Sasuke burst in, slightly pushing Naruto, "Dobe what the hell, we-" he, too, stopped mid-sentence. And when Shikamaru and Neji shot through the door, they were silent as well. They all stared at a particular girl who was staring back at them.
Bright blue met pale lavender.
Black obsidian met emerald green.
Pale lavender met deep grey.
Deep brown met cerulean blue.
Tsunade was leaning against her desk with her arms folded, "This just got really awkward," she muttered. Naruto broke away from Hinata's gaze and sent her a steely glare and she glared back with the same amount of vigour. However, she had to admit, it was rare for Naruto to glare outside of battle. It was…kinda scary…
Shikamaru was first to speak, "Welcome back to Konoha, girls." He said quietly. Hinata, Sakura, Tenten and Ino nodded in thanks.
"Mummy?" Hinata quickly looked down at Kihanna who was staring at Naruto, "Yes sweetie?" she asked quietly, in a sweet whisper. Kihanna looked up at her, "Who," she looked back at Naruto, "Is that man?" Naruto, with his sensitive ears, heard the conversation and clenched his teeth when he heard the words, 'mummy', "I'm Naruto Uzamaki." He answered the question that wasn't meant for him. Kihanna looked up, "I've heard your name before Mister." Naruto smiled brightly at her.
Sakura whispered to Hinata, "It's time to go, Hina." Hinata nodded in agreement, "Well, we gots da get going," Tenten said cheerfully. Hinata facepalmed at the failed dialogue and Ino rolled her eyes with a smirk. Sakura bowed to Tsunade, "Sayonara Shishou," she then jumped delicately out the window. Hinata, Tenten and Ino followed leaving the boys shell-shocked. "What did we just see?" Sasuke asked. Neji blinked, "You mean the kunoichi who have been gone for 2 ½ years with children?" he asked. Shikamaru nodded, "I saw it too." Naruto hmm'd. Tsunade looked at them with an expression of wonderment, wondering if they were going to get mad.
Suddenly, all four of them were slowly and animatedly walking towards the door, "We haven't had much sleep lately have we," "Yep, I'm definitely hallucinating," "Time for bed,"
Tsunade facepalmed, they were unbelievable!
The four kunoichi of Konoha were back in Team 7's training grounds. They were very quiet unlike their rambunctious attitude earlier and Kihanna was still thinking of the blonde man. Ryuu was the one who spoke up, "Okaa-san, Sakura-nee, Hinata-nee, Ino-nee," the four women looked up at him and he looked back seriously, "Who were those men?"
Ino looked at Hinata, Hinata looked at Sakura, Sakura looked at Tenten and Tenten sighed. "Those men Ryuu…" she looked over at the girls and they all nodded.
"Are your fathers."
