Sakura was the first one to wake the next morning, Yukina had been quiet the entire night which was strange, but with a sigh Sakura went about the camp waking everyone before making food, like the day before Kisame took Yukina into his arms so that Sakura could work.
"What if Mei refuses your request" Mangetsu was worried that the Mizukage would make them be something they no longer wanted to be, it would just be awful "No one gets their way all of the time" Mangetsu stared at Suigetsu who was eating at a rapid pace.
Sakura gave everyone a smug smile "Trust me there's a reason why I'm friends with all five of the Kage's, if its for the benefit of the village then I can 100 percent guarantee that Lady Mei will accept my request and by extension your requests" she laughed.
"Trust me when I say this, no one ever says no to Sakura, she's got the remnants of the Kamizuru's following her every word just be glad she's on your side and not on the bad side" Kisame threw his stick on the fire.
Yagura shook his head in exasperation but remained silent, he would talk to Sakura later about setting up times to have Yukimaru come visit him in the Mist Village but he would do it with Mei Sakura and his biological son in the room as well.
"Alright let's go do you all want to walk or fly on Tomo again" Sakura removed her genjutsu and they all left the earth dome she had created to protect everyone during the night so that they could sleep peacefully.
"We'll take the moth if that's alright" Kushimaru was excited, he would most likely get to travel around with Sakura and then visit another village to live in it, the others nodded in agreement with Kushimaru and Sakura summoned Tomo.
Tomo leaned down "I'm glad that your finally using us again Lady Sakura" he couldn't help but talk as everyone climbed onto his back, it had been several long months of restlessness on the Plume Moth Mountain.
Sakura grimaced "I'm very sorry Tomo but I'm going to warn you it might happen again" she didn't want to get the moths hopes up by telling him she would never get pregnant again, but Sakura loved children.
"I understand Lady Sakura, the more children you have means the more contractors we'll have speaking of which, little Yukina has no objections from me so when she turns 5 have her sign the contract will Kora" Tomo wanted to make sure the summons would be passed down.
Yukimaru stared in surprise, he wondered what attracted the plume moths to certain Kamizuru's, he was resolved to ask later but for now he would just watch out for his family to make sure everyone stayed alright.
Secretly he was pleased that his mother was giving the thought of having more children another chance it meant Yukimaru would have more little brothers and little sisters to spoil and love and care for, eventually he would probably have his own children.
That thought made Yukimaru freeze he was thinking about having children but it wasn't as scary as he thought it would be, instead Yukimaru couldn't wait, he had the perfect names for future children of his and that was either Kanari or Naomaru Uchu he hoped he had daughters.
"Don't dawdle Yukimaru" Sakura scolded when he sat there deep in thought, her son hopped up and followed them into the Mist Village to the Mizukage Tower, it appeared while Yukimaru had been thinking Tomo had reached the Mist Village.
Yukimaru smiled sheepishly "Sorry Kaa-chan, come on Mitsubachi-chan, I'll take them to a hotel and sign in it looks like we may stay here for the night" he took Mitsubachi by the hand and Yukina into his arms and went to the hotel they always stayed at.
Sakura sighed in exasperation "Has he always been that well behaved" Yagura spoke up a few minutes later he had never seen children especially teenagers be so responsible but Yukimaru had displayed a maturity that Yagura had never seen before.
"That's probably my fault I have this effect on little kids, sure Yukimaru had his tantrums but they were never difficult plus he was my apprentice I trained him from the time he was seven up until he was 12" Sakura smiled sheepishly.
Yagura grew pale "I hope that you didn't hurt him because if you did then your way of raising children is seriously flawed" he was angry that he had trusted Sakura, but if what she was saying then maybe Yagura should take Yukimaru away from the woman.
Sakura pressed her lips together angrily and the group as a whole took a step away from her "Are you implying something Yagura-san" she smiled sweetly, but everyone could tell that whatever Yagura had said had pissed her off.
"I have never hurt Yukimaru or any of my children, I've trained them yes but only to keep them protected, I raised him from a seven year old, Yukimaru has post traumatic stress disorder no thanks to that fucking snake Orochimaru" she hissed.
Yagura knew immediately that he had said the wrong thing again "I'm terribly sorry Sakura, I know that you only have Yukimaru's best interest at heart which reminds me later after this meeting you, I, Mei and Yukimaru need to talk" he bowed his head in apology.
The chakra leaking from Sakura's body dissipated and she relaxed "Apology accepted and it's about having Yukimaru come visit you here right" Sakura asked kindly and Yagura nodded, as they finally reached the Mizukage's office.
Mei looked up when her office door opened "Sakura I wasn't expecting you back so early have you straightened everything out with them" she pointed at the men standing behind her and the one woman.
"Yes and I have some requests would you mind listening to them, they are very important" Sakura sat down and waited for Mei to grant her permission to speak, by being obedient and calm during a meeting things went way better.
Mei smiled kindly at the young woman, she also had her own request "I'll accept all of the requests if I can make one of my own" Mei bargained and Sakura narrowed her eyes in confusion but nodded.
"Alright Mangetsu the first person I talked to wants to make a weapons shop, with Suigetsu here" Sakura pointed at the two Hozuki brothers that looked exactly alike to each other it was just plain creepy.
"We have an empty weapons shop that's for sale, the village will pitch in to get you started is there anything else you'd like to add in there Mangetsu-san" Mei accepted the first request with no problems before turning her attention on the man himself.
Mangetsu looked to his brother before staring at Jinin "Yes, Jinin will be the one making armor for the shop" the three of them meaning Suigetsu, Jinin and Mangetsu himself had talked on the way here and decided to work together.
"Those terms are very acceptable and I'm sure Sakura will also be helping out as well, what is the next request" Mei nodded before turning her attention on the pinkette who bit her lip as she thought of the way to word her next request.
Sakura sighed "Ameyuri wants to be a hunter nin it's what she decided on" she peered at the red haired woman who was tense but worry was clear in her dark onyx eyes "The program shouldn't be that hard right" Sakura creased her forehead in concern when Mei remained quiet.
"It's not and we could always use an excellent tracker, Ao is getting tired of being a hunter nin so Ameyuri could take over" Mei looked at Ameyuri who immediately relaxed upon hearing the good news "Relax, I love Sakura-chan so I won't refuse her" Mei teased.
Ameyuri smiled sheepishly "Thank you Lady Mei, I really want to help the village out in any way I can but being a hunter nin was something I wanted, I know that it's not really completely changing my ways but at least my abilities will be used for good now" she sighed.
Mei internally smirked, Sakura was a miracle worker that was for sure "That's alright Ameyuri at least you understand the concept of turning from the old ways" she explained, Mei would do anything for Sakura if it meant she continued being a friend.
"Alright who next" Mei wanted to hurry this meeting along so that she could get to her own request it was imperative because she couldn't leave it with Ao for very long before the man got angry about caring for it.
Sakura cleared her throat "Kushimaru-san has made a valid request but in the end it's up to you, he wants to make a clothing shop" she paused for a moment "But he doesn't want to live here in the Hidden Mist" Sakura held her breath.
Mei stared at Sakura before staring intently at Kushimaru, everyone wanted to move sometime "Alright Kushimaru can move anywhere he wants so long as we get some of the items from the store" she made her own condition.
"That's fine Lady Mizukage" Kushimaru immediately jumped into the conversation, he knew exactly where he wanted to move to and what he wanted to do with the rest of his life, if it involved a few conditions then Kushimaru was just fine with that.
Sakura smiled happily but the threat of something happening was looming in the back of her mind "Now the next person Jinpachi wants to help out by being the alarm for the village during any crisis" she wasn't sure if the Mist Village needed anything like that but it was worth a try.
Mei laughed softly, she had actually been looking for a volunteer to live in the alarm building "That's a wonderful idea, Jinpachi your hired and officially the alarm for the Hidden Mist Village" she immediately accepted the terms.
Jinpachi grinned but didn't say anything at least his ability would be useful for the village and he'd be able to help out during a crisis like Sakura had stated, Jinpachi was glad that she had helped them all out otherwise they would still be the way they were before.
Sakura tapped her foot the last two were going to be quite different "For Gengetsu, he wants to possibly be a jonin sensei, and Fuguki has decided on being the liaison between villages" she once again held her breath as Mei mulled over the requests.
"Well Gengetsu's request won't be so bad I know some people were talking about having some children and since everyone is immortal then it won't be to much of a stretch" Mei tapped her lip, as she agreed to the first request.
"It's the last request I have a problem with" Mei internally smirked she wanted to find out how much Sakura trusted the man who had given her problems from the beginning "I'm not sure I can't trust Fuguki" she hid a smile behind her hands.
Sakura ran a hand through her short pink hair, she knew what Mei was doing, but Fuguki didn't and she could tell that the refusal to trust him hurt "I assure you Lady Mei that you can trust him" Sakura was confident in her decision.
"100 percent even, just because none of them have had their rings removed yet, that doesn't mean they haven't started down the path of changing their ways, but the only way to do that is to give them the trust they need to change" Sakura ranted.
Mei pressed her lips together "Ok, no need to go on, I wasn't seriously going to refuse the last request, Fuguki you will officially be the liaison for the Hidden Mist Village" Mei finally agreed on the last of the requests.
"Now for my own request, if everyone could clear out I'll give you the places your going to be living later go see the village, ah Ao just in time" Mei shooed everyone except for Sakura, Yagura and Kisame out of the office before Ao came in carrying a three year old boy.
Kisame knew that Sakura's entire attention was on the little boy in Ao's arms "Sakura this is Ketsueki he's from the same clan Haku is from but the thing is his parents don't want him and neither does the village" Mei explained sadly.
"I'll adopt him don't worry, he'll be in good hands" Sakura immediately understood what Mei was trying to ask, it was awful that nobody wanted the darling little boy with black hair and blue eyes, but in her hands Ketsueki would be raised right.
Yagura's jaw dropped "Are you sure you want to take a three year old into your home along with Mitsubachi, and your four quads" he thought Sakura was absolutely crazy but Yukimaru had turned out alright so maybe the others would as well.
Mei quickly handed over some papers "Just transfer him into the Leaf Village records here's all of Ketsueki's paper work" she gestured for Ao to hand the crying little boy over and he immediately stopped crying.
Kisame shook his head, children just adored Sakura, which made her great at what she did "Thank you, Kisame would you take Ketsueki to the hotel and get Yukimaru for me and stay with Mitsubachi and Midori please" Sakura cooed softly before handing the little boy over to him.
"Sure pinky, aw who's a little handsome fellow" Kisame turned with the boy in his arms and left the office, Ketsueki giggling the entire way he was pretty much already hooked on his almost new mother and would be so for the rest of his life.
Several minutes later Yukimaru entered the office looking nervous "Don't be so nervous Yukimaru we just want to talk about possible visitation dates" Yagura assured the teen and he immediately relaxed before taking a seat next to his mother.
"Yes Yukimaru, I was thinking maybe on the weekends, which reminds me the visits won't start until 9 and a half months from now" Sakura just then remembered about his joint training with Tsukiko and Tsunade.
Mei blinked "Why so long a time frame" she furrowed her brows in confusion it was really weird, was Sakura still so intent on keeping Yagura away from Yukimaru for as long as she could, it was strange even for Mei.
Yagura was thinking along the same lines until she spoke "Well maybe when we return to the Leaf Village, but after the end of two months, Yukimaru is going on a six month training trip with his girlfriend and grandmother" Sakura admitted.
"Oh well then weekends are great so long as he gets here on friday night and leaves sunday night" Yagura agreed on the weekend terms and the meeting ended, Sakura and Yukimaru left the office and searched for Kushimaru.
Kushimaru looked up from where he had been sitting "Did the meeting finally get over" he had been waiting patiently for Sakura to return so that he could go with them when they left, it was great that Kushimaru was excited.
"Yeah, we'll leave in the morning though so come on and I'll get you a hotel room, I'm pretty sure Kisame is going to stay here for awhile for some reason" Sakura smiled, she hoped Mitsubachi, Ketsueki and Yukina were doing ok.
Yukimaru snapped his fingers "Oh yeah who was that cute little boy Kisame-senpai had in his arms it was really strange because he wouldn't tell me even when I asked him" he asked curiously, Yukimaru knew his mother had something to do with the child though.
"That my dear little Yukimaru is Ketsueki, his parents abandoned him and the village as a whole except for Mei doesn't want him so I'm going to adopt him when we get back to the Leaf Village so he's gonna be your adoptive brother" Sakura grinned sheepishly.
Kushimaru was curious to see how Yukimaru would react to the news of getting another sibling, he had so many already "Wonderful, can't wait until he grows up and I can teach him some neat things" Yukimaru smiled widely.
"Your just fine with your mother adopting another child, aren't you worried you'll be ignored with so many little children running around" Kushimaru questioned, no teen wanted to have little kids running around and destroying their privacy.
Sakura coughed into her hand, she knew exactly how Yukimaru was going to respond "I love each and every single one of my little sisters and now little brothers" Yukimaru exclaimed happily, he would cherish each and every single one of his siblings.
Soon Kushimaru had his own hotel room and Sakura was sharing hers with Mitsubachi and Ketsueki while Yukimaru paid for a room himself, everyone had dinner at a restaurant before heading to bed.
The next morning "Well I think I'm going to head back, Mitsubachi you want to travel with me for awhile" Yukimaru had decided during the night to go back to the Leaf Village, and was currently trying to convince his little sister to go with him.
"Sure Yukimaru-nii, I would love to walk with you" Mitsubachi was just happy to go home really, the only excitement had been her mother destroying that base the other day "How long will it take us to get home" she asked.
Kushimaru exited his room just as the two siblings left the hotel "Aren't they coming with us to wherever we are going" he asked as the door swung shut, Sakura shook her head, Yukina was in her sling and Ketsueki was riding on her hip.
"Nope they are going home, Mei dropped some things off for Ketsueki last night so we'll be going straight to waterfall village, I promised to help Fu take care of her seal" Sakura took her bag and slid it onto her shoulders.
Outside the village, Sakura summoned Tomo, Kushimaru climbed on first before helping Sakura onto the bugs back soon they were on their way to the hidden waterfall village, it only took about 30 minutes before they arrived.
"Fu missed you Sakura-chan" Fu immediately attached herself to Sakura and Sakura laughed softly, "Have you come to fix my seal so that when I give birth, Chomei won't be released" Fu talked quickly.
"Yes Fu it won't take very long in fact if you'll follow me into this dome we'll get started it won't hurt Sarada-chan so don't worry" Sakura led Fu into an earth dome while Kushimaru stayed with the two children.
Fu lay down on the blanket and Sakura started drawing ink seals on Fu's stomach in a very elaborate design that was specific for the seven tailed horned beetle, it was a very complicated process that took over an hour.
When the two women emerged from the earth dome it sunk into the ground, Sakura immediately heard the crying of her two children, she was already counting Ketsueki as her child and rushed over to the little boy and three week old daughter.
Kushimaru handed over the two and they stopped crying "So where to next Sakura" he asked when Sakura soothed the two little ones and then froze in place "What's wrong" Kushimaru enquired in worry.
'Hey Older Brat where the hell are you, because you've got incoming from your husband' Kakuzu sent a thought just as Sakura was going to answer Kushimaru, it caused her to freeze, what on earth could Shikamaru need now.
'Thanks Kakuzu' Sakura gave a shaky sigh "Uh my husband is coming" she announced to Kushimaru, just as the man arrived "What's going on Shikamaru has something happened" Sakura's emerald green eyes were filled with fear and panick.
Kushimaru remained silent "It's nothing to bad, but you and me are going to the cloud village, he and the children need to go home" Shikamaru pointed at Kushimaru, Ay had sent him an urgent message but Sakura was the one who needed to make the ultimate decision.
"Alright, uh talk to Izumo, from the gates, and he'll take you to the Kamizuru compound where you'll be taken to my house, give this note to Keiko the maid there and she'll get you set up in a room" Sakura scribbled a note for Izumo and Keiko.
Kushimaru took both notes and the two children before climbing onto Lilith that Sakura had summoned for only the second time, while she and Shikamaru climbed onto Tomo, Kushimaru and the two children headed for the Leaf Village and Sakura and Shikamaru for the cloud village.
"I'm going to warn you now Ay wants to send you on a mission with Darui and you have to be his submissive servant" Shikamaru gulped and hoped Ay didn't end up dead by his wife's hand, it was obvious Sakura was kind of shocked by the mission description.
Sakura pressed her lips together "And let me guess he's leaving the decision up to me" she shook her head when Shikamaru nodded "What do you think I should do" Sakura licked her lips nervously.
Shikamaru avoided Sakura's gaze, he would be playing the body guard, plus he thought it would be pretty exciting to see Sakura act completely submissive and doing everything Darui ordered her to do "Well I thought it would be a great you know fantasy for in the bedroom" he chuckled.
"Alright Shikamaru, I'll do it only because you'll be watching, but I will be laying down some rules, your the only one who is going to touch my lips ever and that's final" Sakura would make her point very clear.
Shikamaru nodded no one was going to kiss his wife except for him, the rest of the trip was spent in silence as the two thought about what was going on in the Cloud Village that Ay would send, Sakura, Shikamaru and Darui on a mission.
When the three were stood before Ay, he stared at them for a moment before finally explaining the mission "Ok, Shikamaru will be the guard, while Darui will be the vip, and Sakura the servant" he told them their roles first.
"Now a man and his posse are coming to my village tonight, but he's up to something I just know it, your job is to find out what his plot is" Ay stood with his Ayy and Suika in his arms, to pace around his office he was worried that something would go wrong.
"Don't worry about it Lord Ay, we'll complete the job no matter what" Sakura was determined to see this mission through, she was after all an honorary member in every single village, plus a little fun would spice up any ones life.
Darui looked to the side at Sakura "If you'd follow me, I'll show you to your quarters and what you'll be wearing" he pressed his lips together, it just felt wrong to treat a friend like a servant, but it was a mission no matter if he had known the woman since she was 13.
Sakura followed after Darui, five feet behind him already into the role she had been put in "Don't do that Sakura at least not yet" Darui slapped his forehead "Your a friend and it just feels wrong" that was his only complaint.
"It's ok Darui sometimes we have to do things that we don't want and this is one of them" Sakura walked next to her long time friend after a few minutes, she bit her lip before squeezing Darui's shoulder.
Darui shoved his hands in his pocket this was so drab, it didn't help that he had harbored a crush on Sakura since she had been 17 but Darui had never acted on it due to Sakura being betrothed to Shikamaru and that's what really sucked that she would never get over the man.
Sakura sighed, there was just some days were cheery people got down in the dumps and it seemed that day just happened to be a bad one for Darui "You'll find someone you know that right" Sakura murmured softly.
Darui froze in his steps 'There's no way she knows, there's no way she knows' he was nervous, how the hell had Sakura figured out his little crush on her, it was nerve racking "What are you talking about Sakura" Darui asked calmly.
"Oh well you know everyone will at least find someone to fall in love with at least once" Sakura's cheeks turned pink in embarrassment, and avoided Darui's gaze, it was weird talking about love in front of someone who had never been in love.
Darui sighed in relief "Yeah your probably right and here you go Sakura" he showed off the run down building that would be the meeting place, for the next day or so they would be staying there "And this is what you'll wear" Darui grimaced and handed over the dress.
Sakura took it and headed into the bathroom to change when she was finished, Sakura looked into the mirror, the dress was an off pink with tiny holes in it, not to mention it was dirty as hell "This is so gross" Sakura patted the dress before exiting the bathroom.
"That just looks totally wrong on you" Darui scratched the back of his head, he hoped to whatever immortal god Sakura prayed to that nobody in any of the villages found out about this or Darui would probably end up getting hunted down.
"Yeah it's gross but hey it's not the worst thing I've ever worn there was this one time in the grass village, Hidan made me wear these really white frilly clothes" Sakura gagged, they had been really short and so not her.
Darui cracked a grin "You know for a female you really are weird" he teased, it felt like the old days when Sakura had been 13, Sakura smiled sweetly before turning to stare at Shikamaru who had come into the room.
"You look good as a servant Sakura-chan" Shikamaru bit his lip to prevent any further laughter, and Sakura shook her head in exasperation "Don't worry it's just for a couple of days" Shikamaru assured his wife.
Sakura pressed her lips together before letting out a sigh "I swear if this guy turns out to be a crazy lunatic, no one is going to stop me from slaughtering him" she dusted off the dress again, her skin was crawling because of the filth.
"Trust me Sakura, Lord Ay has given you express permission to end this guys life if it turns out he is plotting something against the Cloud Village" Darui held up a scroll and gave it to Sakura, she smiled brightly.
A moment later the door opened "Your guests have arrived Lord Darui" Mabui gave the trio a small smile, before leading them to the village gates, where five men were waiting "May I present Master Frohiki" she bowed low introducing the man to Darui and his group.
Darui took his spot at the front of the group "Yes, it's a pleasure to have you here in my village" he tilted his head in acknowledgement of the other man "May I introduce my body guard, Shikamaru, and my servant Sakura" Darui pointed at each person.
Frohiki eyed Sakura appreciatively and she internally gagged, it had hurt taking off her ring to play the part but she would enjoy destroying this man and his posse, Sakura bowed low but didn't speak, Darui hadn't given her permission to yet.
'Man if this guy turns out to be a hoax then Sakura is going to be pissed' Shikamaru saw the anger in Sakura's eyes but she was being obedient and doing exactly as Darui had instructed her, it really was going to be interesting though.
Darui internally sighed in relief "If you would follow me Master Frohiki, I'll lead you to our meeting place" he bowed his head again before turning on his heel, Shikamaru took his spot a few feet away to Darui's left and Sakura walked five feet behind Darui.
"Your servant is awfully obedient" Frohiki narrowed his eyes at Sakura while asking Darui his question, Darui glanced back briefly before shrugging "Does she ever disobey you" he smirked, it would be interesting if the woman disobeyed then this day would be a lot more fun.
Sakura ignored the conversation going on around her, this man was the scum of the earth, he wanted her to disobey a direct command so that Darui would essentially punish her it was absolutely disgusting, it also clued Sakura into the fact that he was plotting something.
"No, Sakura is very well behaved and takes care of all of my day to day needs, isn't that right Sakura" Darui explained before directing a question at Sakura, this gave her the permission she needed to speak.
Sakura bowed her head "That's right Master Frohiki, I cook all of Lord Darui's meals, I clean, do his laundry and make sure all of his paperwork is in order" she murmured softly, keeping her head bowed like she had been told to do.
They group entered the building and the meeting commenced, Sakura scurried off to make everyone food on Darui's request, but she went without, then they made a break, Frohiki actively admitted that he was going to try to assassinate the Raikage and wanted Darui's help.
"Just give me a few minutes to think it over" Darui leaned back on the couch they had been seated on for the past seven hours "Sakura if you would please head into the kitchen and get me a glass of lemon juice" he asked, that was their password for the go ahead.
Sakura bowed her head again for the millionth time "Of course Lord Darui, would Master Frohiki like a glass as well" she enquired obediently, Frohiki nodded his head and Sakura disappeared into the kitchen.
Several minutes later Sakura returned carrying a tray, she handed one glass to Darui and the other to Frohiki, his happened to have a paralysis poison, twenty minutes later, Frohiki slumped in his seat.
Shikamaru tensed just as Sakura slit the man's throat "We'll dispose of the bodies you two just go on home" Darui hefted Frohiki's dead body over his shoulder and disappeared with a puff of smoke, leaving Sakura and Shikamaru alone.
A few hours later, Sakura and Shikamaru entered their house "Lady Sakura, Lord Shikamaru welcome home" Keiko appeared carrying little Yukina who was being rather quiet for the time being, Kushimaru was holding the other three.
"Now, Lord Hashirama has been by to build a few more rooms and bathrooms in the family wing of the house, so Master Ketsueki has his own room, the east end of the compound has been finished and the animals have all been moved there already" Keiko listed off.
"Zetsu-san's house, along with Kushimaru-san's house have been finished" Keiko smile down at Yukina as she reached up and giggled, the purple haired girl was absolutely adorable so was all of Sakura's children.
Sakura opened her mouth to talk but Keiko cut her off "The guest wing has been finished and so have the maid quarters, I hope you don't mind but I've taken the liberty of making up the questions for the new maids" Keiko looked down sheepishly.
Shikamaru chuckled softly "The farm and greenhouses have been set up with the help of Zetsu-san all of the animals have arrived and all of the, herbs, fruits and vegetables have been planted" Keiko continued with her run down of all of the construction in the compound.
"The honey bee hives and the caves have been set up, the bar, the clinic which is just waiting to get the other medics, the library, a couple of stores and restaurants" Keiko ticked off her fingers, while bouncing Yukina as she headed down the hall.
"Those have all been finished, the market has been finished and the Kamizuru's have been complaining about not having a weapons shop here in the compound and the request building have been completed" Keiko finally finished the run down.
Sakura nodded "That's very good, with the help of everyone in the village the construction has finished in less time than I thought, but there's just two more things" she grinned, while they had been travelling she had been designing a very special building.
"Aw have my little ones missed me" Sakura cooed a moment later when Misaki let out a loud wail, Kushimaru handed the little girl over and she instantly quieted down "I'm sorry Kaa-chan won't leave you behind again" Sakura tickled the little girls nose.
Shikamaru took Ren into his arms "Where are Yukimaru and Mitsubachi" he asked looking around for his two oldest adopted children, Keiko pointed at Yukimaru's bedroom, and then the ceiling indicating the two were still asleep.
"They were utterly exhausted when they stumbled in here last night and they haven't woken up since, I just let them sleep" Keiko smiled sheepishly, she hoped that she hadn't broken a rule or anything because then it would be really bad.
Sakura rocked from side to side "Don't worry about it, I figured after everything that had happened on the trip they would be tired" she shrugged, so long as they slept through the night then their sleeping patterns wouldn't be destroyed.
"Oh Morino-san has been by, he said to tell you Lady Sakura that he has gotten over Yukimaru changing his mind it happens all of the time" Keiko remembered the message Ibiki had left with her before leaving the village with Yume, he left early.
Sakura sighed in relief "Alright well we are going to bed, we'll get back to work tomorrow" she headed down the hall with Misaki in her arms and put the little girl in her crib the other three were put down for bed as well and everyone headed to bed tired for the day's events.
