Once Tsume had left Chouza beckoned the children into the house and to the dining room where Chouji and his wife sat at the table eating their breakfast "Ooh Tsukiko-chan" Chouji jumped up and ran over to her with a wide smile on his lips.

"Hello Chouji" Tsukiko greeted equally as excited before letting the giggles that were wanting to escape out which caused everyone in the room to laugh along with her before she turned to Chouza "Thank you for allowing us to stay with you Chouza-san" Tsukiko bowed politely.

"Are any of you hungry" Chouza inquired grinning when each of them shake their heads "Well then what would you all like to do today" he asked again patiently waiting as each of them huddled together to come up with an idea.

"Darling they are just so adorable" his wife spoke from his side and he nodded silently agreeing that the sight of the children were cute "Oooh didn't Shikaku and Inoichi say that they were bringing their children over today as well" she remembered a moment later.

"Your right" he nodded again hearing the doorbell go off he slipped out of the room discreetly to answer the door "Well hello there Shikamaru, Ino" he smiled reassuringly to the shy blonde girl "Don't so worried Inoichi, Shikaku these two are going to have fun today" he grinned.

Once Chouza had assured the two men that their children would have fun he ushered Ino and Shikamaru into the house and into the kitchen where Ino let out a squeal of delight at seeing the two other girls huddled together.

Tsukiko noticing the newcomers beckoned the two children over seeing this Ino sped over to them where Shikamaru just walked slowly where he was immediately pulled into the group "We've decided we'd like to go on an adventure" Tsukiko finally spoke their idea for fun.

"I'll make snacks" Chouza's wife spoke before going over to the cabinets and pulling ingredients out as the children watched on in awe as she went around the kitchen whipping up the best snack basket they've ever seen.

Once Chouza had sealed the basket in a scroll for safe keeping until they got hungry he ushered the group of children out the door and around the village pointing out things they had otherwise missed upon the many visits through town.

By 3 it was clear that they were getting hungry because the children were complaining "Mister Akimichi can't we please stop, I'm getting a little hungry" Kiba announced loudly but nonetheless politely as the others nodded their head in agreement.

"Alright, alright let's go to the park over there and sit down" Chouza chuckled before leading the impatient and hungry children over to the picnic table where he unsealed the basket from the scroll and started setting out the finger food for the children to eat.

With squeals of delight and a round of thank you's from the kids everyone dug into the delicious food unaware of the jealous onlooker, Ami was glaring at them from her spot across the playground her parents never did anything like that with her.

Ami was just about to go over there when she saw the pink haired weirdo Sakura hesitantly ask to join them a happy yell from the grey haired girl was her answer and Sakura clambered up on the bench to sit next to her and pick a sandwhich from the pile of snacks.

Meanwhile Tsume had crossed a lot of distance and had just arrived in the land of lightning grabbing an apple from her pack and a bottle of water she quickly consumed both before stowing the trash away to throw away at a later time as she finally reached the village gates.

Showing a seal to the guards Tsume snuck through the village at high speed until she found the little apartment that housed Tsukiko's parents Tsume knocked on the door 3 times in quick succession a few minutes later it creaked open and there stood Setsuko.

"Tsume what brings you here" Setsuko asked when he recognized the Inuzuka matriarch opening the door wider he let her in the small home politely asking her to remove her shoes before leading her into the living room where Atsuko sat with a rounded belly.

Tsume instead of answering Setsuko for the reason she had visited stared in shock at Atsuko who smiled weakly in return before shaking her head "I wish to fully adopt Tsukiko as my own so that she may bare the last name Inuzuka, Uchu causes to much problems" she explained.

Setsuko's jaw dropped open in shock "Is there any other reason you wish to adopt our daughter" he narrowed his eyes in suspicion, not once in the 2 years had Tsume come to them so why now of all times.

"Someone tried to kidnap her and she strangled him with her hair while Tsukiko was unconscious" Tsume wanted to get back soon, but this was something she had to do to prevent anyone else from coming after the Uchu Princess.

Atsuko gasped in horror maybe, before they had left, they should have had Tsukiko's powers sealed but now it was to late, and really Setsuko and she had been anticipating this for sometime, they just hadn't thought it would be so soon.

"Setsuko go get the papers" Atsuko ordered and the man rounded a corner and disappeared out of sight, a few minutes later he returned with a folder "We had this set up in the case we had to leave our darling Tsukiko with someone we trusted" Atsuko sighed.

Tsume looked down and her onyx eyes scanned the contents "Adoption papers, you only have to sign them, and then give them to Lord Hokage" Setsuko confirmed Tsume's suspicions of what the documents were.

The Inuzuka woman didn't waste anytime and neatly signed her name and then put them away in a storage scroll Tsume nodded at two before slipping out of the house and back through the gates headed back to the Leaf Village.

When Tsume arrived the sun was just cresting over the Hokage Mountain, she was so tired that instead of going to pick up her kids Tsume went home to rest for the day so that they could have one more free day.

In the Akimichi Household Tsukiko was the first to awaken, the little girl looked over at Kiba and Hana and found them still asleep, so Tsukiko slowly slid out of the bed and snuck out of the spare bedroom and down the hall to the living room.

Tsukiko paused when she heard the shuffling of papers so she carefully peeked her head around the corner and sighed in relief when she spotted Chouza "Mister Akimichi may I come sit with you please" Tsukiko asked in her light airy voice.

Chouza spun around scattering his neatly filed paperwork and reports at the soft voice, he spotted Tsukiko staring around the corner at him "Sure Tsukiko-chan" Chouza hadn't known the child was an early riser but at least he knew now for future reference.

Tsukiko entered the room and before Chouza could say anything clambered onto his lap "Mister Akimichi, how come Chouji-kun get's picked on a lot, don't the other kids know he has to eat for his clan jutsu" she asked shyly.

Chouza didn't mind the child sitting on his lap even though it was extremely strange to do so "Well other kids can sometimes be unbelievably mean, I'm sure they know, they just don't want to accept it" he explained.

Short conversation over Chouza turned around in his seat with Tsukiko perched in his lap and hastily reorganized his paperwork, he had to turn in the reports later today to the Hokage "Mister Akimichi why are other kids so mean anyway" Tsukiko asked again.

"I mean if they were all polite to each other wouldn't they make easier friends, who wants to be friends with a bully, cause I sure don't" Tsukiko jumped in again with her own explanation before Chouza could answer Tsukiko's question.

"The reason for children being so mean is because they get spoiled by their parents and don't get disciplined, if more children got punished for doing something bad then they wouldn't be so spoiled or mean" Chouza chuckled it was true at least for Tsukiko.

He had never seen Tsume spoiling neither of her children, nor had Chouza seen Tsume spoil Tsukiko "Can't argue with you there Mister Akimichi" Tsukiko jumped down from his lap and went over to the couch and sat down on it instead.

After that everyone else in the Akimichi household woke up, the children spent the day exploring the vast compound by dinner time Tsume had arrived to pick Tsukiko, Kiba and Hana up, Tsume told the little girl she had some news for her.

Then they all went home had dinner, got a bath and finally when Tsukiko was in bed, Tsume had cleaned up her room, Tsume sat down to share the good news "How would you like it if I told you that I adopted you" she didn't know how Tsukiko would take the news.

"You mean your my kaa-chan now" Tsukiko tilted her head to the side, Tsume nodded and Tsukiko let out a squeal of happiness "Okaa-chan" Tsukiko called and wrapped her arms around Tsume's neck for a brief hug after that the lights were turned out and everyone went to bed.
