Dear Khomeini,
I still haven't found out who keeps sending me flowers. I've already talked to Soba and he agrees that it isn't something that he would do. I guess it was just a mistake. Maybe the flowers are actually for one of my nee-chans. I try not to think about it too much. I'm meeting up Kaemon Aburame and Kyomi Inuzuka and we're gonna spar. You remember Kaemon and Kyomi, right? Kaemon has short dark brown, almost black, hair and dark green eyes and Kyomi has brown hair and the infamous Inuzuka eyes. Not to mention the signature Inuzuka fangs. My relationship with Kaemon is kind of...complicated, to put it simply. We've been together on and off for a while. Mostly because he can't commit. Anyways, I hope mother will be okay outside, seeing as how she's eight months pregnant. I'll make sure to bring an umbrella and water in case she gets hot.
-Ryuu
"Ryuu! Are you ready?" "I'm coming mother!" Ryuu leaves his book on his bed and meets his mother at the door. He opens the door and assists his mother outside. "Mother, are you sure this is a good idea? Something could happen. You could go into labor and father wouldn't be able to take you to the hospital. What if the sun effects my little brother or sister?"
Hinata laughs. "You sound exactly how your brothers and sisters did when I was pregnant with you. I'll be okay. If I do happen to go into labor, Shino-kun can take me to the hospital and Kiba-kun can alert your father." Ryuu calms down a bit, but slows down to make sure he's right next to his mother in case she needs help with anything.
Upon arriving, Kyomi tackles the male Uchiha with a hug. "Ryuu-chan!" Ryuu laughs and returns the embrace. "Why does everyone call me that? It's good to see you Kyomi-chan. You too, Kaemon-kun." Kaemon smiles. "Kyomi, get off of him. I want a hug as well." Kyomi sticks her tongue out at him, but releases the Uchiha. Kaemon embraces the Uchiha and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Ryuu blushes a bit, quickly removing himself from the Aburame. He goes up to Kiba and Shino, giving them hugs as well. Kyomi grins at Hinata's baby belly. "You just keep getting bigger, huh, Aunt Hinata?" Hinata giggles and nods. Kaemon slips closer to Ryuu. "So, are you ready to spar?"
An unpleasant shiver runs up Ryuu's spine. He knew Kaemon was close but he didn't think he was that close. "Sure. Weapons or hand-to-hand?" Kaemon smirks and leans closer to the smaller male's ear. "You know I'm a hands on learner." Ryuu steps away. "Yes, I've realized. Let's get started, shall we?"
What started as hand-to-hand combat, slowly shifted into one of weapons. Ryuu with his signature sword and Kaemon with a kunai and some shrunken. Kaemon charges and Ryuu immediately notices the errors in his stance, using it to his advantage. Kaemon aims for Ryuu's chest, the shorter male saw it coming and launched into the air.
Kaemon freezes, confusion lacing his features. 'What the hell? He was right here!' Ryuu sighs. Kaemon immediately lowered his defence when he lost sight of the Uchiha. 'This is too easy. This isn't a fair fight. How is he so bad at weaponry? He's older than I am!'
Unfortunately, Ryuu's defences lowered right when Kaemon noticed he was in the air. The Aburame grabs onto Ryuu's leg and slams him into the ground, pinning him there. He swipes Ryuu's sword and holds it against his neck. Ryuu winces, shutting his eyes at the pain. When he does open his eyes, he notices that Kaemon is close.
So close that if either of them moved, they'd be kissing.
"RYUU-CHAN!!! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"
Ryuu growls and shoves Kaemon away. "I'm fine, Kyomi-chan. Just a bit caught off guard." Kyomi rushes over and offers Ryuu a hand. Smiling politely, he takes the offer. Hinata rushes over as fast as she can. "A-are you alright, Ryuu-kun?" Ryuu fixes his glasses. "I'm okay. Thank you mother."
Kaemon clears his throat from the ground where he still lay. "Is anyone going to ask if I'm okay? Or help me up?" Ryuu turns. The light shines menacingly off his glasses, shielding his eyes. "I don't believe you were slammed into the ground. You should be perfectly capable of getting up yourself. I, on the other hand, am feeling quite sore. I am thankful for the help I needed and received."
Kaemon rolls his eyes and stands, leaving shortly afterwards. Hinata squeaks, before softly groaning in pain. "Oh, dear. K-Kiba-kun, could you go fetch my husband? Shino-kun, Kyomi-chan, and Ryuu-kun, can you help me to the hospital? My water just broke." Kiba nods. "Akamaru! Carry Hinata to the hospital. Be careful!" The giant dog barks in response, scooping up Hinata gently, along with everyone else, he races to the hospital.
As they arrive, the rest of the Uchihas meet them at the door. Sasuke scoops up Hinata and demands for her to be seen immediately. Ino rushes over. "I'll take care of her, just bring her into this room. Only Sasuke is allowed in the room, so the rest of you have to wait in the waiting room."
Kyomi, Mikoto, Neji, Itachi, and Hanae look over to Ryuu as the door shuts behind his parents and Ino. Ryuu has never experienced the birth of any of his siblings so he didn't know how to react. He's trembling and thinking of anything that could go wrong. Kyomi and the Uchiha siblings wrap him into a hug, attempting to calm the youngest down, but failing when they hear their mother screaming in pain.
Hours later, Ino steps back through the doors of the labor room. Ryuu is the first one in front of her. "Is mother okay? What happened? Is everything alright?" Ino laughs. "She's fine. So is your new sister." Neji and Itachi are immediately by their side. "Sister?!" Ino laughs again. "Yes, a sister. Would you like to meet her?" The siblings and Kyomi nod.
The blonde leads them to the room Hinata and Sasuke are in. "Sasuke? Hinata? Your kids are here." Hinata motions for them to come forward. The baby, currently being held by Sasuke, is handed to Ryuu. The boy tenses up, having never held a baby before. "W-what do I do? What if I drop her?" Mikoto laughs and helps her baby brother hold their new sister.
Ryuu is trembling, but once he looks down and notices that the baby is looking back at him, he relaxes. Her eyes are gray, about the same shade as his. He blinks and she does a slow, sluggish blink back. Ryuu grins and she begins to giggle. "Mother, what's her name?"
Sasuke is the one who speaks up. "That's up to you." At the confusion on his face, Sasuke elaborates. "You get to name her. Mikoto named the twins. The twins named Hanae. Hanae named you, so you get to name her." All of the siblings look away from each other and blush.
They never realized or talked about how they got their names. Ryuu looks back to the baby in his hands and smiles. "Can we name her Yoshiko?" Hinata smiles and nods. Ino walks over. "Is it official?" Sasuke nods as well. "Okay. On this day, we welcome the newest addition to the Uchiha family, Yoshiko. May her life be full of love."
