Ch. 4 - Socializing

It had been a week since the opening of the Mikoto Orphanage, Sasuke deciding to name it after his departed mother. The building had brought a new atmosphere to the place. Of course this did not change the fact that Sasuke had his session every other Sunday.

"So Uchiha-san, how has you life been going since our last conversation together?"

"It's been good. Can't complain."

"So far we have covered a great deal of paints Uchiha-san. Now onto a new one. Socialization."

"Excuse me?" Sasuke replied.

"In the entire time I have known you Uchiha-san you have never fraternized with anyone in our age group. You are always off on your own."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I never saw it as a problem."

Naruto took off his glasses and sighed. "Uchiha-san, do you know as humans we crave the company of others, whether it be socially or intimately? Though I do believe it is too soon for the latter."

"Oh…but why should that matter? I'm used to being alone."

"Uchiha-san, have you heard the old saying Sticks in a Bundle are Unbreakable?"

"Yes."

"Think about how easy it would be for you in the future if you had allies you could fall back on. For example, if you do become an ANBU wouldn't you want friends who are on the outside to keep you sane after long missions?"

"Hm, that's a good point. But who can I trust? Most people just want me for some other motive?"

"Just hang out with someone you share a similar interest with. And besides, how will you know which woman is the one by just sitting in a corner all day? For all you know she could seduce you and take all your money!"

Sasuke blinked. He hadn't thought of that.

"If all else fails you can just chose one of your fan girls."

Sasuke literally fell off the sofa. "No! Kami…just no! That would be evil!"

Later that Day….

Sasuke was walking around the markets of Konoha. He was rather bored since it was his day off.

"Um…excuse me?"

Sasuke paused to see a civilian girl a year or two younger then him standing in front of him with triplet boys who looked to be five behind her. She had short brown hair and the most interesting hazel eyes.

In Sasuke mind, not that he would admit it out right…Cute.

"Can I help you?"

"I was hoping if you could direct me to the nearest park?"

"Sure, I'm heading that way."

"Thank you!" the girl bowed.

"My name is Sasuke."

"I'm Hope, these little rascals are Shinji, Kenji, and Meiji."

"HI!" the boys cheered.

"You're not from around here are you?"

"Oh no. We used to live in River, but father wanted a change in pace."

Upon reaching the park the boys ran off to the playground. The girl merely sighed and sat on the grass.

"Your little brothers?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes, sadly. What worse according to my father every female in our family tends to give birth to at least one set of twins or triplets. It scares me a little to think about that.."

Sasuke felt a ping into what he was looking for in a girl. That genetic trait could work in his favor in the future. Cuteness too.

"So what does your family do?"

"Hmm? Well Mom and Dad are doctors. They want me to go into it too but..."

"You don't want to?"

"I actually…I don't really know…I just want to be a wife and mother in the future. It's kind of silly really. My big dream is to be a housewife. I even started to think of names for future kids…All my friends back in River would make fun of me for it."

Sasuke blushed. "I think it's actually…kind of cute."

Hope turned pink at his words.

"Re-really?"

"Yeah…"

After the sun started to set Sasuke made plans with Hope to meet up again.
