I awoke the next morning wrapped in nothing but a thin white sheet. Memories from the night before came flooding back to me. The way he had kissed me, with firey disire. The way he touched me as if I were made from glass. The way he held me like if he didn't I would slip away and disappear. And finally the way he made love to me, conveying all of his emotions he was hiding into one night. I blushed, covering my cheeks with my hands. Sparkles danced across the walls and cieling every time I moved. I looked down at the ring on my left hand. Clear gems that I hadn't noticed last night caught and refracted the light causeing tiny rainbows the dance with my movement.

I got dressed in a navy blue yukata and tip toed out of the room to the porch. "Good morning." Sasuke whispered, appearing behind me out of nowhere and wrapping his arms around me.

"Good morning." I say with a blush.

"Did you sleep well?" He asks lightly resting his chin on my shoulder.

"I did." I smiled looking up at him. He pecked my cheek then let go of me when he heard Nana start to move around. Sasuke opened the door to the kids room and lifted Nana from his bed. The moment he was in Sasuke's arms he rested his head on Sasuke's shoulder and rubbed his eyes.

"Otosan." Nana said as Sasuke fixed his hair clip. "I'm hungry."

"What would you like to eat?" Sasuke asks as I take Nana from him and start getting him dressed.

"Rice, with an egg and juice." Nana says.

"Tamago kake gohan and juice it is." Sasuke smiles, setting him on the ground and taking his hand. "What do you wan to do today?"

"Practice." Nana replies sleepily. "I want to go to school with aniki."

"Ah, well maybe we'll go visit them in school today." Sasuke tells him. "You want to bring them bento?" Nana just nods.

When we walk up to the academy, we see all of the kids paired up and sparring. "Ah Sasuke, Katsuki-chan. What are you doing here?" Shikamaru says, walking over with a clipboard.

"We were just going to bring by some bento for Hikaru and Yukine." Sasuke tells him. My eyes find the twins sparring against each other. Both blocking advances and dodging the exchange of blows. Then Yukine lands a strike that causes Hikaru to fall back on his butt. As his mother I want to run over to him and make sure he is okay. But I know the right thing for me to do is stand back and watch. Yukine steps to Hikaru and offers his hand. Hikaru smiles and accepts his brothers help then they start sparing again as if it had never happend. "How are they doing?" Sasuke asks.

"Good, they are extremely focused. They do everything together. I let them choose their own partner again today. A couple of the little girls tried to pair up with them but got turned down." Shikamaru explains. "Yukine knows his brothers weaknesses and habits. He is very observant. I asked him why he only pairs with Hikaru and his response was 'Because he needs me. While others will use his weaknesses and open spots against him, I can show them to him and help him be come better at covering them.' I was impressed that he was able to point the openings out so easily." I smiled feeling proud as I listened to Shikamaru talk about them. I looked back over to them to see them running towards us.

"Okasan." Yukine said as he approached the fence.

"Otosan!" Hikaru jumpped up as he was running and clung to the fence in front of Sasuke.

"Aniki." Nana said looking up to Yukine. Yukine knelt down and slipped his hand through one of the holes in the chain link fence and handed something to Nana. He looked down at the pinkish piece of candy in his hand and smiled. "Arigato aniki." Nana smiled. Yukine and Sasuke were the only ones able to get him to smile like that lately.

"What did he give you?" I ask squatting down next to him.

"Strawberry hard candy." Nana said opening it up and popping it into his mouth.

"Where did you get it?" I asked Yukine.

"Sora-chan gives me one everyday." Yukine said looking over his shoulder at a small Hyuga girl. "I don't like strawberry, so I promised Nana that he could have them."

"Why don't you tell her you don't like strawberry?" I asked, a little confused.

"Because she is nice enough to bring me one every day. I don't want to hurt her feelings." Yukine says looking up at me.

"Oh, I see." I smile lookin down at him.

"Otosan! Otosan! Naruto oni-chan said htat you can breath fire like a dragon!" Hikaru said rattling the fence.

"Can you show us?" Yukine asks. Nanase looked up at Sasuke with his ever blank expression.

"Heh, I think I need to have a talk with Naruto oni-chan." Sasuke says with a smile.

"What about lightning? Can you show us that?" Hikaru asked.

"Naruto oni-chan sure is talkative isn't he?" Sasuke says looking at me, trying to avoid showing them any thing. I let out a giggle and cover my mouth.

"Oh, is tha the ring?" Shikamaru asks looking at my hand. "When is the big day?"

"We haven't really talked about it yet. I had only asked last night." Sasuke explains.

"Oh ho ho." Shikamaru teases with a look that says 'I know what you did last night'. My face heats up and turns bright red, telling him that he was right.

"When we do hold the ceremony, would you mind coming?" I ask.

"I'll be there." He assures.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, you have to bring a date. Shall I ask Saori-chan to be your date?" I tease, fully knowing he has a crush on her. This time he turns read and places his hands behind his head.

"Well...You know..." He starts. Both me and Sasuke laugh.

"Here are the boys' bentos. I think were going to go talk with Saori-chan." Sasuke says handing Shikamaru the neatly wrapped bentos.

"You two go back to practicing, okay?" I tell the twins. They just nod and run back to were they were sparring.

"Wait wait...Don't go to Saori's. I'll do it myself." Shikamaru says nervously.

"Bye bye." I wave as we walk off.

"Let's go talk to Naruto oni-chan." Sasuke says to Nana.

"Mm." Nana nods.

"You know the boys won't leave you alone until you show them." I say glancing at Sasuke out of the corner of my eye.

"I know. But I need to say something to him before he brings up Sus-" He cuts off his own words when he realizes Nana is staring up at him. "Before he brings up anything else." He finishes.

Sasuke lifts his hand and knocks on Naruto's door. Beyond it we hear a bunch of clattering noises then the door opens. "Who is it?" Naruto asks looking at us through squinted eyes. "Were you sleeping?" I ask watching him yawn.

"Today is my day off so I was taking a nap." He explained as he invited us in.

"Naruto, I have to talk to you about something." Sasuke said as Naruto sat on his bed and flopped back on it.

"Uh huh?" Narto yawned again. I knelt at the table next to Sasuke, watching Nanase climb on to Naruto's bed and lay next to him. "Hey kid." Naruto smiled, patting him on the head.

"Hikaru and Yukine asked me about breathing fire and lightning today." Sasuke started.

"Oh yeah, we were talking about it earlier." Naruto said sitting up.

"Please don't tell them any more. Like S-u-s-a-n-o-o or A-m-a-t-e-r-a-s-u." He spelled out. Nana sat up quickly and looked at Naruto.

"Oni-chan, what does that spell?" Nana asked.

"Uh..." Narutos mouth hung open as he tried to think of something to tell him. "Noodles and Ice cream." Naruto blurted.

"Noodles and ice cream?" Nana asked.

"Uh huh, it was going to be a surprise, but now that you know, oni-chan is going to take you out for ramen and ice cream." Naruto explained. I looked over at Sasuke and could tell he was mentally facepalming just by the look on his face.

"Keep a close eye on him, Naruto. Katsuki and I have to get a little shopping done. Bring him to the house in a few hours." Sasuke told him as we got to out feet.

"Okay, whatcha gotta go shopping for?" Naruto asked as we exited his apartment.

"Katsuki needs a white kimono." Sasuke says showing him the ring.

"You dog you." Naruto grins with the same look Shikamaru gave us. Sasuke just shakes his head and head down the stairs. "Alright! See ya later. I'll let Hinata know!" Naruto calls after us.
