Enjoy this chapter because it's all about the winter.
"TODAY was fun wasn't it Daichi?" Keiko asked as they walked beside their dad on their way towards the park after a long boring day of school. The ground was littered with a light blanket of snow, Sasuke hated the snow and the only reason he was trudging through it, the tip of his nose red and his cheeks flushed was because he had to pick his kids up from school that day. Going to the park was just an added bonus. Boy wasn't he just the luckiest twenty –seven year old…no pun intended.
Keiko's large jade eyes widened as she stared at the tall red slide that peeked out from behind the dead Cherry Blossom trees. "Look tousan…we're here!" She gasped and Sasuke stuffed his hands further in his pockets, "hn." He replied as Keiko skipped ahead giggling lightly as they entered the park. Collapsing onto a park bench, Sasuke leaned back against it before he stared at one anxious seven year old and a brooding eight year old. "Well, run along…have fun I'll be right here." He stated and the small girl's eyes widened if possible and she grinned broadly. "Okay!" She sang as she turned around and her father took off her red school bag before she bolted for the slide.
Onyx orbs landing on his son, he raised one fine brow. "Not going to play with Keiko –chan?" He asked and Daichi didn't reply right away but sat down beside his dad and stared out into the distance. "I don't want to," he said and Sasuke nodded as his gaze also wandered out into the distance. "I know you want to be a good ninja but even they deserve to have a little fun once in awhile." He said and Daichi looked up, his jade eyes observing his dad's face for awhile. They looked so much alike, and all he ever wanted to do was be just like his dad so if his father said that playing was okay than it had to be. "You're probably righ-" "Oi! Teme!" A very familiar voice shouted.
Turning his head slightly, Sasuke watched as his best friend and the village's future sixth Hokage jogged towards them, a little girl no older than Daichi at his heels. "Hey teme! Daichi! How are you guys!" The hyper blond greeted and Sasuke smirked half – heartedly at his friend. "What's up dope? Mizu?" He greeted back and Naruto grinned as he placed his hands behind his head and stared up at the sky, "oh nothing…can't a fellow father run into his best friend and fellow father and just hang out?" He said and the Uchiha raised one perfectly arched brow. "You want to run that by me again?" He said and Naruto laughed nervously.
Meanwhile, Daichi's eyes roamed over the short girl standing behind her father and when she grinned toothily at him he nearly gagged. Mizu Uzumaki, Daichi's self proclaimed best friend. She was the epitome of annoying, her sandy blonde hair hung just below her jaw and her large cerulean orbs could suck anyone in…anyone besides Daichi that was. "Hiya Daichi –kun!" She shouted in her loud high pitched voice and Daichi cringed once it sent his eardrums ringing. Sasuke noticed his son's predicament and smirked slightly while his idiot of a friend continued to blabber on about something.
Nudging the young boy, he looked up at his dad one brow raised in curiosity. "You two better run along because this might take awhile," he whispered and groaning Daichi obeyed. Taking off his dark blue knapsack, he slipped off the bench and instantly he was glomped by Mizu. "Let's go on the slide Dai –kun!" She shouted pulling him over to the large slide while Naruto took a seat and continued to talk his friend into a coma.
"Hiya Mizu –chan!" Keiko shouted as she stared at the blonde girl and continued to swing. The blonde glanced at her and waved frantically, "hiya Keiko –chan!" She shouted back as she continued her trot towards the slide. Biting on her pink bottom lip, Keiko got off the swing and jogged after them as the pair stopped in front of the slide. "Isn't it beautiful?" Mizu breathed and Daichi just stared at it as he breathed out a thick cloud of fog, "hn." He breathed and Mizu looked back at him and grinned before she started to climb up the ladder, "c'mon!" She shouted and grinning Keiko pushed past her brother and also climbed up the ladder.
Daichi stood there, hands in his pockets and face numb as he watched the two girls get ready to slide down before they looked back at the young boy. "C'mon Dai –kun," Mizu pleaded and Keiko nodded as she held onto the blonde girl's torso. "yeah c'mon Daichi." She whined and they both pouted complete with the puppy dog eyes. Chewing on his bottom lip, he stepped backwards weighing his options before he cast a weary look over at his dad who looked bored out of his mine and the blond idiot was still yapping. Gulping down a large lump in his throat, he stepped forward and very slowly climbed the ladder.
The Mist village could see the grins that both Mizu and Keiko wore as Daichi settled behind them quietly. "Alright…ready? Let's go!" Mizu shouted and they all zoomed down the slippery slide and slid straight off of it and smashed into a pile of snow. Poking her head up, Keiko giggled as she blew snow out of her hair while her bottom lip shivered uncontrollably. Groaning Daichi stood up and stared at the little girl laying in the snow only a few meters away from him. Her blonde hair spilled out around her face and a stupid lopsided grin on her lips. Opening her eyes, she stared at the short boy in front of her.
Holding out a helping hand, he wore a scowl on his cute face as Mizu grinned broadly. Reaching her hand out to him, she took it and he heaved her up. Standing just at eye level she grinned as their eyes locked. "C'mon let's go again," she stated as she took hold of his hand and started back towards the slide. God, does he ever shut up! Onyx orbs wandering out to the playground, he watched as Mizu tugged on Daichi's arm, a glitter of hope in her large cerulean orbs as she persuaded him to play with her. A small smile tugged on Sasuke's face as he continued to block out his annoying friend's useless rants.
I don't know where this came from but I thought it was so sweet…so yea I hope you guys liked it. One more to go.
