Chap 10

After cooking Ramen for the kids, Hinata cooked some extra for everyone else. As everyone ate Hinata looked around the room to see all her friends smiling and goofing and eating. She had a tear roll down her face when all of a sudden the door opened.

"Hey guys, I'm home!" Naruto said walking in with Gaara behind him.

"DADDY!" The kids said running to their father. Sakura also stood up and walked to Gaara, kissing him on the cheek.

"Well, I didn't see that coming!" Naruto said surprised at the kiss between Sakura and Gaara.

"Yeah, well a lot of things have changed since you were gone," Sakura said smiling and hanging on to Gaara's arm. Gaara gave a smile which also surprised Naruto, but Hinata giggled.

"Daddy, since your home will you train with me?"

"No train with me daddy!"

"You have mommy, I need to train with daddy!" Everyone started laughing, including gaara.

"Marik, Serenity, why don't we wait until after your father has eaten lunch, all of us ate, now he needs too," Hinata said walking over to Naruto.

"What's for lunch babe," Naruto asked. Hinata's face turned red when he said babe.

"Your favorite!"

"Ramen? Wow, I haven't had ramen in a long time!"

"Here you go," Hinata said handing him the bowl and kissing him on the cheek. Naruto sat down at the table and had a bite of ramen.

"Oh my god, this is the best Ramen I have ever had!" Naruto said stuffing his face. Hinata started to laugh, and then everybody joined in.

"Marik, Serenity why don't you finish unpacking your stuff and then change into your mission clothes," Hinata said motioning to the kids.

"Ok mommy," Serenity said putting BiBi down on the counter next to her father, and running to her room. Marik was already in his room changing. Naruto looked at the fox stuffed animal next to him and picked it up.

"What is this?" Naruto said confused.

"Oh, that's BiBi, its Serenity's stuffed fox." Hinata smiled.

"Mommy, did I leave Kyubi out there?" Serenity said yelling from her room.

"Yes, you left it right here," Hinata said walking down to the bedroom. When she came back Naruto looked at her funny. "What, I didn't tell her about the Kyubi, the academy did, she decided to name it."

"Ok mommy, I'm ready!" Marik said walking out in her orange shorts, red shirt and orange jacket.

"Awe, he looks like a little Naruto!" Sakura said smiling. Marik looked at her and smiled. Naruto looked at him and started laughing.

"Well, you do look like me!"

"Mommy, do you know where my hair tie is?" Serenity said walking out in her dark blue top and shorts with orange stripe down the side.

"yes, I have it, but I thought you were going to wear your coat with it sweetie, the one that your grandfather bought you,"

"Oh, so Hiashi gave her the cloak you had when you were younger?" Neji said.

"Yeah, he gave it to her last week,"

"But mommy, I don't wanna wear the Hyuga crest!" Hinata wanted to smile.

"Serenity, why don't you wear it, I know you like wearing a jacket while your fighting as protection. If you want I will go get you another jacket later on. Plus you haven't even wore it yet."

"Ok mommy," Serenity said walking to her room to put her jacket on then walking back into the kitchen. Serenity looked just like her mother did when she was that age. Serenity walked over to her mother so Hinata could put the hair tie in her hair. Serenity had much longer hair they Hinata did, and Serenity loved having it up in a bun (Ten Ten's fault.)

"Ok kids, why don't you go to the training area and I will be right there,"

"which one mommy?"

"Why don't you go in the back yard? There is plenty of room out there, plus everyone can stay and watch if they want," Naruto said getting up and putting the bowl in the sink.

"I would love to stay and watch, but Gaara needs to start heading back to Suna," Temari said standing up from sitting on Shikamaru's lap.

"Actually Temari, Tsunade wanted to know if we could stay another day, apparently, there is going to be team selections and then a special promotion tomorrow," Gaara said.

"Promotion?" Naruto asked.

"You will find out tomorrow," Gaara said smiling, Sakura still on his arm.

"Well, if it's what you want gaara then I guess we are staying for a little bit longer then," Temari said smiling at Shikamaru.

"Well, after the promotion ceremony, who ever it is, why doesn't everyone come here!" Hinata said as everyone looked at her.

"Yeah, we will have a huge welcome back party for Naruto and a congrats party for whomever gets promoted!" Ten Ten said smiling.

"Sounds good to me, but I think it is time to go see how well the kids have been trained," Naruto said.

"Well, I hope they learned a lot since it was Iruka-sensei who is their teacher," Sakura said.

"cool," Naruto said walking out to the backyard where his kids were. Everyone followed him out.
