A Daughter's Love

By: Zuki Uchiha

A/N: Okay guys, this is where my timeskip is. Years that have passed, umm, five. That means all of them are 19, so they're older now. Almost adults, sweet. Enjoy chapter 11!

Four Years Later...

Suzuki awoke with a yawn, she slowly opened her eyes, only to meet with a pair of white eyes staring back at her.

"Good morning Suzuki." Kenji said with a smile.

Suzuki yawned, "Did I dose off last night?" she asked.

"Yea, thats the last time I take you to see a romantic movie at the park." Kenji said with a smile.

"Sorry Kenji, all I remember was looking at you and then falling asleep. What did Hiro and Ai say?" Suzuki asked.

"Nothing, Ai fell asleep too."

Suzuki and Kenji now lived together, they had decided to move into a small house on the Uchiha grounds near where Sasuke and Sakura lived. Hiro and Ai lived together close by Naruto and Hinata in the Hyuga grounds. Ai had decided to live in the Leaf Village when she fell madly in love with Hiro. Kenji decided to live with Suzuki in the Uchiha village because he didn't really like the Hyuga village and if he ever married Suzuki, he wanted his future children to be known as Uchiha-Hyuga, not just Hyuga or Uchiha. Kenji and Suzuki started living together when they were 18 and they both decided to move out and live together.

"Do we have a missions today?" Suzuki asked.

"No. Tsunade decided to give us a break for a while." Kenji said.

"Oh yea, I remember." Suzuki said with a yawn.

"Suzuki, I think you should stop staying up so late working on missions Tsunade hasn't even confirmed for us to go on. You're really exhausted lately, and I'm worried." Kenji said.

"I don't know, I'm the ANBU captain, I should be doing this kind of stuff." Suzuki said.

"Well if you must, at least let me help you. Okay?" Kenji said.

"Okay Kenji, I think we should get up now, I promised Ai that I would go with her to the market." Suzuki said getting out of bed.

Kenji smirked when he saw Suzuki getting up, she was wearing short shorts and a tank top, like the night when they went to the Hokage monuement in the middle of the night. Kenji made a sudective smile and grabbed Suzuki by the hand and pulled her back to the bed.

"Why don't we just stay in the bed just for a little while longer." Kenji said and buried his face at the crook of Suzuki's neck and started kissing it.

"Kenji...I have to meet Ai...I'm already late." Suzuki said, trying to stop her boyfriend from luring her in.

"Just tell her you slept in because of last night." Kenji mumbled and started giving her lovebites.

"Kenji...please." Suzuki pleaded.

Kenji sighed and looked at Suzuki with a smile. "Okay." he said.

"I love you." Suzuki said with a smile.

"I love you too." Kenji said and gave Suzuki a chaste kiss.

Kenji sat in the chair in front of Hiro. "So when are you gonna pop the question to Suzuki?" Hiro asked.

"As soon as I find a ring for her." Kenji answered.

"You haven't found one yet? I found the perfect one for my Ai-chan." Hiro said with a smile.

"Well it isn't as easy for me as it is for you Hiro. I need to find one that she'll love, one that explains her and her beauty." Kenji said.

"Aa, you like having everything perfected don't you?" Hiro asked.

"That's how I am." Kenji said.

"Have you asked sensei yet?" Hiro asked.

"What do you mean have I asked sensei yet?" Kenji asked.

"Well it's only suitable that you ask the girls father for her hand in marriage first, that's what I did. I was nervous, but I did it." Hiro said.

"Shit, so now I have to find the ring and ask sensei's permission to marry his daughter, that's gonna be easy." Kenji said sarcastically.

"You really think it's gonna be easy?" Hiro asked.

"No you dumbass!" Kenji said with a sigh.

"Okay okay, jee, someone's cranky." Hiro said.

"Sorry, I'm just nervous. I love Suzuki, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her." Kenji said.

"It's okay Kenji, I know how you feel. I almost wet my pants when I asked Garra if I could marry his daughter. But we've known sensei for years now, we're practically family to him. I don't think he'll bite your head off if you ask if you can marry Suzuki, remember when he caught you two making out and he didn't kill you?" Hiro explained.

"Yea, thanks Hiro. Now come and help me pick the right ring for Suzuki." Kenji said with a warm smile.

Kenji came inside his house and saw Suzuki sitting in the kitchen drinking tea, he came up to her and put his arms over her shoulders and kissed her neck gently.

"Welcome home Kenji-kun." Suzuki said with a smile.

"Suzuki, how long has it been since we visited your parents?" Kenji asked.

"A while, why?" Suzuki answered.

"I was wondering that maybe we could pay them a visit, and maybe have dinner." Kenji said.

"That's sweet, what's the catch?" Suzuki asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing, I just thought it would be nice to visit family." Kenji said.

"That's what you said that one time we went to visit your parents. They caught us kissing and your mom asked me if I was pregnant." Suzuki said.

"Well your parents aren't like mine, what do you say?" Kenji asked.

"Alright, but when?"

"Tonight."

"Tonight?"

"Tonight."

"Alright Kenji."

Suzuki knocked on the door of her old house and her mother answered. "Suzuki-chan, Kenji-kun, it's so good to see you again, come in." Sakura said with a warm smile.

The couple walked in and saw Sasuke sitting in the living room drinking tea. "Hey, I told you I had a feeling they were coming to visit us Sakura." Sasuke said with a smile.

"Well Kenji thought it would be nice for us to have dinner with you guys tonight, if that's not trouble." Suzuki said.

"Of course not Suzuki, you're always welcome back home. You can help me cook." Sakura said and pulled Suzuki with her into the kitchen.

"I have another feeling there's something you want to ask me Kenji." Sasuke said after taking another sip of his tea.

"Actually there is sensei." Kenji said and sat across from Sasuke.

"After all these years you still call me that Kenji, why?" Sasuke asked.

"I don't know, I just think it's more respectful to call you that, since you were my sensei for so long, and practically a father to me." Kenji said, he thought this was going to be harder than it looked, Kenji was never nervous around Sasuke, well at least not that much.

"That's a good answer Kenji, now, what do you want to talk to me about?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"Sensei, I love Suzuki very much, and you know how much I do. I treat her with respect and we make each other happy. Sensei, I want your blessing and permission, to marry Suzuki." Kenji said calmly.

Sasuke at first said nothing, then he sighed and smiled at Kenji, "Even though I never wanted to see it Kenji, I always knew that you would be the one I allowed to marry my daughter. I know you'll make her happy, and I know you'll do a whole lot better than I did when I was young, at loving Suzuki. Therefore, I give you my blessing as not only her father, but as your sensei, to marry Suzuki." Sasuke said with a smile.

Kenji smiled, "Thank you sensei, I promise I won't dissapoint her, I will love her, and stay faithful to her. Arigatou." he said and bowed in respect to his teacher.

"Don't get all soft on me Kenji, did you get her a ring yet?" Sasuke asked.

Kenji showed him the ring. It was a 24 carat ring with a diamond being held up by silver. On the sides were two lilac colored diamonds.

"It's very beautiful, I'm sure she'll love it." Sasuke said examining the ring.

"Thanks, I knew you would approve of it." Kenji said.

"When do you plan on asking her?" Sasuke asked.

"Tonight, after this dinner, and I know the perfect spot to propose to her." Kenji answered.

"Where?"

"The cherry blossom tree, she loves it there and we go there almost every night. That tree brings back so many memories." Kenji said.

"That's very true, that tree is very old too. Suzuki's grandfather, my father, proposed to my mother under that tree. I proposed to Sakura under that tree too, and when Suzuki was little, I used to imagine that she would get proposed there as well." Sasuke said.

"And she will sensei, that tree is a special mark for the Uchiha family, and I'm glad to be part of it's history." Kenji said with a smirk and examined the ring.

"Dinner's ready!" Suzuki called.

Kenji stuck the ring in his pocket and he and Sasuke both walked into the kitchen, keeping everything quiet.

"Bye Oka-chan, Oto-san! Thanks for the dinner!" Suzuki said happily.

"Bye bye Suzuki, Kenji! Be safe!" Sakura said before they left.

Once they were gone Sasuke turned to Sakura, "Kenji asked me for my blessing to marry Suzuki" he said.

"What? He's going to ask Suzuki to marry him! Oh my goodness!" Sakura said happily, and hugged Sasuke.

"Our little girl is growing up, when Kenji asked me that, the day Suzuki was born flashed in front in my eyes. Now she's going to be engaged, then married, and the next thing we know she'll be telling us she's pregnant." Sasuke said.

"I know, but we raised Suzuki well, we did our job, and she's a marvelous girl, isn't she?" Sakura asked.

"Yes she is, and she's definetly going to say yes." Sasuke said.

"Most definetly, she's crazy about Kenji, she always has been." Sakura said, tears forming in her eyes.

"Come on Suzuki, let's get to the cherry tree." Kenji said and pulled Suzuki by her hand.

"Wait Kenji, you're going really fast!" Suzuki laughed like a young child, even though she was an adult now, she still acted like a young child at times, and that's what Kenji loved about her. Her Youth.

Kenji and Suzuki finally made it to the Cherry Blossom tree, it was dark out and the fireflies were out. Making the scene even more breathtaking. It was a warm night, and the tree seemed to be glowing from the fireflies floating around. Kenji and Suzuki sat together at the trunk of the tree, they cuddled up together and watched the fireflies fly by.

"It's so beautiful out, isn't it Kenji?" Suzuki asked.

"Yes it is, but this beauty is nothing compaired to how beautiful you are." Kenji said and kissed the tip of her nose playfully.

"I love you so much Kenji, I always have." Suzuki said with a smile and interlaced her fingers with Kenji's.

"Likewise my love." Kenji said.

Suzuki stared up at the tree, little blossom petals were falling on them because of the wind. The petals were mixing in with the fireflies in the air. Kenji looked at Suzuki and thought of this as the perfect moment.

"Suzuki, there's something I want to ask you, and it could change our lives forever." Kenji said.

"What is it Kenji?"

Kenji faced Suzuki and took out the ring and showed it to Suzuki, she gasped and covered her mouth in disbelief, tears formed in her eyes.

"Suzuki I love you with all my heart, I want to make you happy and I want to spend the rest of my life loving you, cherishing you, and protecting you. Suzuki, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?" Kenji asked.

Suzuki cried, "Yes! Yes Kenji! I will marry you!"

Kenji smiled and slid the ring into her ring finger, he kissed her deeply with love and compassion. "Thank you Suzuki, you've made me the happiest man on earth, in the universe." Kenji said softly.

"I can't believe it, Kenji. You love me this much as to want to marry me?" Suzuki asked.

"Of course I do, and I promise you that I will do anything just to make you happy. I love you." Kenji said.

"Kenji." Suzuki mumbled and kissed Kenji deeply. He smiled on her lips and deepened the kiss.
