NBP 8: They'll be here when they get here!

The two boys ran outside to the front of the school where they were always dropped off and picked up from.

Sakare looked around in a quick hurry, he seemed very excited.

"Sakare, calm down, what are you doing anyways…." Hataro asked looking at Sakare as he quickly moved around him.

"I'm looking for daddy and uncle Naruto, like you should be!" Sakare stopped and stood, arms folded looking at Hataro.

"They'll get here when they get here…." Hataro sighed slightly.

"Ah, you're not excited about them BOTH being here to pick us up….?" Sakare asked raising an eyebrow and put much stress on the word both.

"Huh?! Of course I am!" Hataro stomped.

"If so, then help me look for them then…." With that Sakare went back to work to look for Sasuke and Naruto.

"…..Sakare….." Hataro sighed again.

"Hmm…..I guess it will pass the time…" Hataro started to watch guard from where he stood.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-Tayaho Street-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"Man, it feels great to be able to walk the streets at this time of day, huh Sasuke?" Naruto walked along side him, his arms stretched out over his head as he breathed in the fresh air.

Sasuke just nodded in agreement. He knew all too well what the feeling was like, but Naruto was always stuck, trapped up in his office.

"I'm surprised you still know your way to the academy…" Sasuke was joking and Naruto knew it, he just played along.

"Oh, who says I'm not just following you?" Naruto asked with a chuckle.

Sasuke shared his laugh.

"Well, we don't want to keep the boys waiting, so, let's have a race!" Naruto suggested. He was pumped full of energy and wanted to get to the academy quickly to surprise Hataro and Sakare.

Sasuke thought of Naruto's suggestion. He saw no harm in it.

"Why not?! The loser has to buy the winner and the boys' ice cream." Sasuke agreed.

"You got a deal!" Naruto, without a sign, took off in a quick sprint. Leaving Sasuke behind where he stood.

"…..The hell, Naruto?! That's cheap! You're cheating!" Sasuke shouted as he tried to catch up with Naruto.

"Nope, you're just too slow!" Naruto laughed as he ran faster toward the academy with Sasuke tailing in behind him.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-YSA-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"Oi, Hataro, do you see them yet?" Sakare asked Hataro from where he stood near the gates of the school.

Hataro sighed. Sakare has been asking that same question for the past 3 minutes now. It's not like they were waiting that long. School has only been out for 5 minutes!

"Sakare, for the last time, NO! They will get here when they get here!" Hataro too was excited to see if his father would come to pick him up today, but at least he could keep his excitement down.

"Hey, why so mad, I just asked you a simple yes or no question, jezz Hataro, cool it….." Sakare was joking about Hataro's response. He found it funny.

"Sakare…..well, stop asking the same question over and over then!" Hataro knew he was just playing around. He smiled.

"Well, how long has school been out?" Sakare walked toward him.

"Hmm, about 6 minutes…." Hataro looked down at his favorite ninja watch he got for his 5th birthday from his uncle Neji.

"Wow, really? That's all….it feels like forever!" Sakare sighed heavily with slight irritation.

Hataro chuckled at this.

"Why are you in such a hurry anyways…..you got somewhere to be….a date maybe?" Hataro played around making Sakare jump.

"No way! That's gross, no girls for me! I have much better things to do with my time, like hang out with you, Hataro." Sakare chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head with his left hand.

"Good! Let's keep it that way too, huh Sakare!" Sasuke sounded from behind him, he sounded out of breath.

"Daddy?!" Sakare jumped slightly when he heard Sasuke, but quickly turned around to hug his father when he calmed down.

"Uncle Sasuke!" Hataro too gave him a hug hello.

"Oh Hataro, no hugs for me, and I came all this way just for you too…." Naruto stood behind Sasuke also sounding slightly out of breath.

"Daddy!!" Hataro jumped over to his father and held his legs tightly.

"You're here Daddy!" Hataro looked up at him, smiling a large smile of joy.

"I sure am! I finished extra early today just to come get you!" Naruto kneeled down to Hataro's level and gave him a crushing hug.

"What about me uncle Naruto, you came to see me too, right?!" Sakare jumped on Naruto from behind while laughing away with Hataro.

"Yep, and you too, Sakare!" Naruto chuckled as he grabbed both boys to give them a bone crushing squeeze.

They finished their little moment shortly after, there were other parents starting to watch them. Sasuke even took a few pictures while the three of them weren't looking. He'll be sure to show them to Sakura later.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-On the way to the Hokage's tower-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"Oi! No, you cheated, you can't speed hop atop of buildings, Sasuke!" Naruto complained as he pointed to a random building with his free hand, Hataro was occupying the other with his own hand.

"You just said you wanted to race, there were no rules and on penalties, so no pouting!" Sasuke smirked at his point.

The boys chuckled.

"Daddy, what are you two talking about?" Sakare asked as he looked up at Sasuke clueless.

"Well, your uncle Naruto wanted to have a little race on the way to your school, so he ran off ahead of me without saying as much as a "go", so I decided to just" win"…." Sasuke smiled down at him as if Naruto was not even there.

"Hey, you still cheated! Next time, not rooftops!" Naruto said looking at Sasuke with a glare.

"Hn, fine…" Sasuke agreed and again the boys chuckled.

"Oh, and Sasuke…." Naruto started.

"What?"

"While you're at it, why don't you tell the boys about how your pants got caught on the antenna of that house over there and I had to get you down…." Naruto started to laugh and the boys slowly looked up at Sasuke. He had a very light shad of pink all over his face, but Hataro and Sakare could still see it, they too joined in with Naruto in a laugh.

"That's not funny…..I had to buy new pants…." Sasuke said lowly, but the others could still hear him.

That only made them laugh Harder.
