A/N: Sorry if this was not what everyone was expecting. I tried to come up with something but just came up blank. This is the last chapter.

The sky was getting dark and the fireflies were getting ready to light their tails. Tree leaves twisted and turned in protest of the wind. All around Konoha shops were closing up for the day, only dedicated owners were to stay open to earn extra money. The grounds were glowing a soft orange and red, blending with the color of buildings. Citizens were finishing up their shopping to head home to their families with happy smiles on their faces.

Prior to this day Sakura and Naruto had a nice relaxing day at home filled with love, lust, and a lot of attention to one another. The time they spent together was rare so they valued very minute of it.

Sasuke was not back yet so Yuichi was still at the Inuzuka's. If one were to look at the situation, it would seem as if he wasn't going to show up. But as usual, looks can be very deceiving.

----

There was a knock on the door. Sakura was too busy sleeping to hear it so Naruto went to answer it.

Sasuke is standing on the other end.

"Hey Sasuke-teme."

He opens the door more so his rival can come in. He throws his Jounin vest on the sofa and sits next to it.

"Deadlast"

"I would have settled for a 'Hey how you doing' but I guess that'll do. For now anyways."

Upon noticing Sasuke looking for his fateful companion to come bounding down the stairs, Naruto thought to clue him in. "At Hinata-chan's. Since you weren't here and it didn't look like you were going to be back any time soon, Sakura decided to let him stay there until this week is over with."

For a moment there was surprise written on his face, but only for a second.

"Hn"

He leaned back and but his forearm to cover his face. Naruto was about to tell him off but just let him sit there. This wasn't something new. And besides, he didn't want to wake Sakura. She's angry when she doesn't get enough sleep. Angry Sakura equals lump on the head, always. Nope. Ill let the bastard sleep for now.

----

The evening of Sunday was approaching and Sakura was reading up on medical techniques on the couch while Naruto finishing up some Hokage business in his basement office. He had taken the day off since he knew Yuichi was coming home today and he wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. The following week, he was going to be swamped with work.

Sakura answered the door when they arrived. Yuichi happily hugged his mother and went off to find his dad to greet him from their long absence, all the while, holding Motomi's hand. Hinata, Sakura, and Kiba said their hello's, she gave them a strange look before settled in the living area while Motomi and Oriba were off in the other room with Yuichi. Akumaru was currently napping beside his human companions near the loveseat.

"So how was the weekend for you all?"

"Wonderful!" Hinata answered.

"Uh, huh. Something doesn't look right here. Do you mind telling me why that is?"

Kiba cut to the chase. "Yuichi has a new girlfriend. Well, in kid terms anyway."

"Girlfriend?"

"You know, someone to hold hands with, call your own, and all that other good touchy feeling stuff."

"And by the looks of it, I'd say that it's Motomi?" Sakura was in a state of shock.

Kiba and Hinata nodded in unison.

Sakura didn't know what to say. She knew that one day he'd have a girlfriend, but wasn't this a little too soon?

"But you didn't have any problems with him right?"

"No, not at all. When he found out Motomi liked him from Oriba, they've been inseparable ever since. And he's been too occupied to get in trouble."

Sakura sighed. That was a relief. But then she remembered that she had a new problem to worry about. Girls.

So much for another six or seven years.

The adults heard a commotion in the hallway and looked to see what it was all about. Yuichi was pulling Motomi by one arm and Oriba was on the other pulling with equal force.

"No, she's my partner!"

"She's my sister! So she's MY partner!"

Motomi didn't look like she was too happy to have two boys fighting over her to she tried to pull away but they had an iron grip on her.

"Let me go."

"Motomi likes me so I should have her with me. And besides you always get to have her."

"I'm not a toy!"

"Yeah we've been together since we were born and I want to keep it that way!"

Motomi had enough so she bit Yuichi on the arm first, then Oriba.

"OUCH! What you do that for?!" Both said at the same time.

"Because you wouldn't let me go."

"You could have just said something instead of biting me on the arm. I though you liked me?"

What a bunch of idiots, Motomi thought. "I DID say something to you, but you weren't paying attention to me. Now that I have your attention, how about you both be my partner?"

"Well, that'd be fine but, who's going to be on the other team?" Oriba asked.

"Hmm, the neighbors?" They all agreed on that option and after asking permission to go out, curtsey of Motomi of course, they headed out to ask the kids to play.

----

Sakura thanked her friends for keeping her son. After two hours of playing outside, they called it quits and came inside to eat. Once everyone was gone, Yuichi went to Sakura and asked her if he was going to work with her the next day.

"No, sweetie. Your uncle Sasuke is back."

She gave a small smile and received a big one in return from her favorite child. In all of his excitement, he begin to pack to go over Sasuke's house. Sakura stopped him and told him, "Tomorrow."

Since there was no need to have a babysitter for Yuichi anymore, Sakura felt better knowing he was in good hands.

She later found out that the reason behind all of his 'accidents'. Combined with the Kyuubi's power and Kyuubi himself inside of Yuichi, passed on from Naruto, he was able to form a fire substance. Sasuke would from now on help develop his new technique of fire.
