Natsume Not So Hyuuga

Wherein Mikoto gives birth to twins and Itachi is delightfully pleased to have two younger brothers; Fugaku is not amused.

TWO

When Mikoto learned she was having twins, she almost killed Fugaku for making her go through pregnancy once more with two times the pain, two times the cravings, and two times the roundness (because yes, she decided, that's how it worked). She broke his arm instead.

When Mikoto told Itachi he would be an older brother, she almost cried at the wonder and happiness ion his face A look of determination blazed in his coal eyes as he solemnly placed a tiny palm on her blossoming stomach and told her he would protect his younger brothers with his life and be the best big brother ever. She believed him.

When Mikoto met Kushina in the streets of Konoha with nearly identical baby bumps, she almost waddled away because she knew Kushina would make fun of her larger bump of twins and tousled hair. They promised their children would grow up to be the best of friends as they were as well. She would never forget their promise.

And when Mikoto finally gave birth to twin baby boys, she almost forgot to breathe. Her two boys were utterly beautiful and perfect in every way. From their wrinkles toes to pinched faces, Mikoto knew there was so much more inside her once again. She would love them until the day she died (and after that too).

It was official, Natsume hated Uchiha Shisui. Something about that happy-go-lucky ninja reminded him of his semi-arch nemesis, Andou Tsubasa, from his previous life. Natsume could feel his eye twitch as the idiot cajoled around Itachi and put an arm around his brother's shoulder.

Itachi was his and Sasuke's, no one else's.

How in the world did that idiot become a ninja was beyond Natsume. Shisui was even garnering a nickname for himself, Shunshin no Shisui, but if Natsume had his way, it would have been something along the lines of Shinjimae no Shisui (Shisui of the Dead/Hell) or Baka no Shisui (Shisui the Idiot). Natsume's eye twitched again.

Even Shisui's annoying laughter reminded him of the shadow user.

Though when Shisui offered to help Itachi teach Natsume and Sasuke how to wield kunai and shurikan, Natsume wasn't one to say no to learning more cool ninja tricks.

"Natsu-chan, you have such good precision! Aw, you're making me so proud," Shisui bent over and attempted to pinch Natsume's cheek, but it was quickly avoided with a flick of a shurikan. The teen pouted and shunshined behind the young boy, capturing him in his arms and hoisting him up in the air.

Natsume attempted to squirm out of his annoying cousin's arm, but was held tight in the iron grip. He mentally groaned, Natsume was the Black freaking Cat of Alice Academy, high schoolers feared him when he was only ten years old!

"Have you been practicing on your own again?" Came Shisui's baby voice. Natsume wanted to roll his eyes at the condescension. The day he lost his skill from his previous life would be the day he told Imai Hotaru he thought her inventions were cool, aka never happening (especially since he lived in a different world now).

Unable to wriggle his way out, Natsume smiled mischievously to his younger twin who was eyeing the duo with an amused look by their older brother.

Natsume snapped his finger and immediately a burning smell filled the air as a light smoke wafted from Shisui's behind.

Screaming, Shisui immediately dropped Natsume and fanned his burnt bottoms.

"Now who taught you how to use jutsu already!"

Natsume only smirked and innocently batted is eyes up to his older cousin, "Jutsu? I'm only five, I don't even know what that means."

Let it be known that fire loved Natsume and Natsume loved fire, in this life and the next. His previous life couldn't handle the intensity of the power and it drained his life force bit by bit, but he was a Hyuuga then and an Uchiha now.

And Uchihas loved fire.

Natsume forgot what it was like to be surrounded by a bunch of snot nosed brats. During his term as principal of Alice Academy, he served with respect from all ages and had no problem getting what he wanted.

He would do the same here.

But as he sat patiently and Sasuke squirmed excitedly beside him, he also forgot what his previous bane of existence was.

Fan girls.

He couldn't escape them in any lifetime so it seemed.

As if fan girls with Alices wasn't scary enough, these fan girls were training to become ninjas. Natsume held in a shiver as he warily eyed his fellow students, the looks the girls were giving back scared him more than he would have liked to admit.

He agreed that being a ninja was insanely cool, however he knew that beyond (and maybe even within) the Konoha walls was a dark world, unkind to even those who were prepared for it. Natsume wondered how these children would turn out.

The man in the front of the room clapped his hands together, his scarred face framing a pleasant smile. "Hello class! My name is Umino Iruka, please call me Iruka-Sensei from now on. Welcome to the Ninja Academy, we expect you all to give these next few years all you can-"

"Sorry I'm late! The number one ninja and future Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto, has arrived!"

Knocking down the door, in all her orange glory, was a girl Natsume had never seen before. His eye twitched (he should really get that checked out) at the long, blonde pig tails and screechy voice, all too familiar to his other bane of existence.

The idiotic smile on her face was too much like the one he saw everyday in his past life.

"Natsu," whispered Sasuke to his right, "why are you crying?"

Natsume blinked.

Indeed there were tears falling from his eyes. As he reached up to wipe away the wetness, he quietly whispered back, "I don't know."

But he did.

That stupid Uzumaki Naruto reminded him too much of his own stupid wife, Sakura Mikan.
