That's My Boy
Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I hope that you all enjoy this chapter.
Chapter Notation: To make it easier, Older Sasuke and older Hinata will be in bold. Younger Sasuke and Hinata will be in regular print. We have a couple cases of mistaken identity in this chapter, but hopefully you'll all get a kick out of it. Happy reading.
Chapter 21
"Two mommies and two daddies!" Sasuke heard a toddler call out and it only took one look at the boy to realize that he was also an Uchiha.
He had spiky midnight blue hair and Hyuga eyes. His skin tone matched Sasuke's exactly, but he had Hinata's adorable little button nose. Everything else though, Sasuke noted he'd definitely inherited from him. Well there was one tiny thing that wasn't from him or Hinata. He had markings on his face similar to Itachi's.
"It's probably best if you came inside. The Uchiha District isn't as empty as it used to be, nor as exclusive." Hinata offers kindly.
"What do you mean?" Hinata asks her older self.
"Isolation was a large contributing factor to the Massacre. There are many families living here now. They are renters or bought homes." She answered.
"Oh. Alright." She says and takes her husband's hand as they head inside their home, with Sasuke holding onto baby Mikoto tightly.
"I imagine this is a jarring experience for you. Haru at least knew that he was going to time travel ahead of time." Sasuke says.
"You could say that." He agrees.
Sasuke took that moment to take in the appearance of their future selves. Hinata had changed a little. Her hair now came all the way to her knees instead of stopping at her back. She wore a white kimono with the Uchiha crest on the back and a navy blue sash.
His hair style was different. His bangs now obscured one eye and his spikes now grew down instead of out in the back. He was wearing black pants and a matching traveler's cloak. Was he planning on going somewhere? Maybe a mission.
"There's no telling how long you will be here. You've already seen Arashi. I imagine Haru already told you about his brothers and sisters. So there's no reason to keep them hidden from you." Hinata offers.
"Mother, Father…have you seen my sandals?" Sasuke hears someone call out and he gasps.
It was like his mother had come back from the dead. She had long silky black hair the color of the night sky, that came to her back, ivory cream colored skin, and eyes shaped like his. If she wasn't a teenager and didn't have lavender eyes, he would have thought that she really was his mother.
"They're by the door." Sasuke hears his older self inform her.
"Thank you." She says with a smile and Mikoto blinks when she sees two younger versions of her parents with…a baby.
"Mikoto, can you get the others? I think it's important that they understand what is going on." Hinata asks.
"Alright. More time travel?" She inquires, tilting her head to the side when she notices that now there were two Sasukes and two Hinatas.
"Yes, more time travel." Sasuke agrees and Mikoto heads off to get her siblings.
"She's very…good at handling unusual situations." Sasuke observes.
"Yes, she is. That's why she's often selected for diplomatic missions." Hinata says.
Sasuke and Hinata blink as soon they see ALL of their future children. From the beautiful Mikoto all the way down to the adorable "Sparky." Tai, who they learned was their eldest son, makes the introductions.
"I'm Tai. That's Mikoto, Sachi, Akemi, and Arashi. We call Arashi, Sparky. He's already got a natural Chidori of sorts. Functions somewhat like Gaara's sand. And of course, you've met Haru." He says.
"Wow." Sasuke says as he looks at his family in awe.
It was one thing to know that he was going to have six children, intellectually. But actually seeing them was something completely different. There were pieces of himself and Hinata in all of them. Even the occasional trace of Itachi and Mikoto.
Hinata was left speechless as well. She holds Sasuke's hand and couldn't stop looking. That girl was Mikoto all grown up or close enough to it. She was almost their age! It was a jarring experience to see Sasuke holding their newborn daughter in one arm and seeing her teenage self standing only a few feet away. So surreal.
"They are going to be staying with us for awhile. Treat them like you would treat us." Sasuke says.
"Yes, father." Came a chorus of replies. (Well there was one yes, daddy from Sparky.)
Sasuke smiles and hugs Haru back. The five year old was now hugging his leg. Hinata smiled, leaning do to embrace her son as well. Well, she amended that. One of her sons. She apparently had three now.
Baby Mikoto looks around in confusion. Who were all these people?! Two of them looked like mommy and daddy, but where different somehow. One she felt…well a pull towards. She didn't understand it. She was confused. So she cried.
"It's alright, Mikoto. You're safe." Sasuke says, holding the newborn to his chest, and rocking her reassuringly.
Well…daddy didn't seem upset. So maybe these people were safe. Maybe they were friends with mommy and daddy or something. Daddy would keep her safe anyway.
"She's calming down now." Mikoto says.
"You can hear her thoughts?" Tai asks.
"I feel what she feels. She is me after all." Mikoto says.
"This is so weird!" Akemi says.
"I not the littlest anymore!" Sparky says happily.
"That's right. For now at least." Sasuke chuckles and smiles fondly down at his youngest son.
"Father, I'll show you the horses!" Haru says happily.
"Horses?" Sasuke asks.
"A gift from the Sand. The children do adore them. You and my younger self look similar enough to use, that if we aren't all in the same place at once…it won't matter if anyone sees you." She offers.
"Oh. Alright." Sasuke says and he's led off by his sons, after handing baby Mikoto to Hinata. (He wasn't really sure how she'd react to horses.)
"Come on, mother! We can show you our rooms!" Sachi says cheerfully.
"Um sure." Hinata says and allows herself to be led off by her daughters.
"That went better than expected." Sasuke says.
"We should prepare the guestroom for them." Hinata suggests.
"Yeah." He agrees and follows his wife to the guestroom, admiring the view.
He smirks when she bends over the bed to throw some blankets over it. Sasuke was only human. He couldn't resist. He gives her a nice swat to her backside.
"SASUKE!" She squeaks.
"Still so easily flustered, even after all these years." He says and pins her to the bed playfully.
"I love you." She murmurs looking up at him.
"I love you too." He says and kisses her hotly.
Meanwhile Sasuke blinks. Those were some fine Arabian horses. His knowledge of horses was basic at best. But he knew thoroughbreds when he saw them.
"The black one is called Midnight. He's your favorite." Tai offers.
"I can see why." Sasuke states.
Sparky was now on Sasuke's shoulder. It seemed that his shoulders and back were always going to be prime real estate. He wondered if Tai would be the same way as Haru and Sparky.
"The white one is mother's. Her name is Dawn. Midnight really likes Dawn." Haru says.
"Horsies!" Arashi cries out happily.
Haru was five. There was really only so much information he could get out of him. Sparky was a toddler. Tai though, he was clearly a teenager. Maybe he'd be able to learn something about the future from his eldest son.
"It's a happy marriage. We are all healthy. No, I don't have a girlfriend. All the Leaf girls are insane." He says.
"How'd you know that I was going to ask all that?" Sasuke marvels.
"It's what anyone would have asked in your position." He says.
Sasuke concedes that Tai did have a point. He couldn't blame Tai for not having a girlfriend, Sasuke certainly hadn't bothered at that age. Plus he was right, minus Hinata…Leaf women were insane.
"Guess so. I just like to think of myself as being a little less predictable." He says.
"Mother says you are very creative, if that makes you feel any better." He offers.
"It does. It definitely does." Sasuke says with a smirk.
Hinata was currently in Akemi's room with her daughters. They had just finished showing her Sachi and Mikoto's room. Hinata rocks baby Mikoto gently in her lap.
"This is my room! It's the best one!" Akemi says proudly.
"She's a little delusional. You'll have to forgive her. I believe Uncle Naruto may have dropped her on the head once as a baby." Mikoto says somberly.
"HEY! MY ROOM IS SO THE BEST." Akemi protests.
"Forgive them, mother. Mikoto is still understandably upset that Akemi told father about the love letter." Sachi says diplomatically.
"Love letter?" Hinata asks in confusion.
"From Takeshi. It was really sappy!" Akemi says.
"She's just too young to understand such things." Mikoto says.
"Oh I'm sure in time you will grow to like sappy." Hinata says and smiles at Akemi.
Akemi makes a face. She shakes her head. Boys were yucky, except for her family!
Baby Mikoto snuggles against her mother's chest. Well it was a little less crowded now. She wondered where daddy went. She knew he'd be back though. Daddy always came back.
Later that night, Hinata goes to take a shower. Sasuke had decided to help with the dishes. Hinata just really wanted to get all the glitter off her.
It seemed Sachi and Akemi fancied themselves makeup artists. Mikoto had watched with amusement and done Hinata's hair up in a surprisingly elegant bun. Her girls really liked to play dress up. It was fun, but that didn't mean that she wanted to be covered in glitter forever.
Warning Lime
"The girls got you, I see. Here let me help." Sasuke chuckles, stripping, and joining her in the shower.
Thanks to her hair being up, he didn't realize he had the 'wrong' Hinata. They both looked identical from the back and what a lovely back it was. He smiles and starts to gently wash the glitter off her skin.
"Yes, they did." She says with a smile and leans back into Sasuke.
Sasuke smiles and kisses the spot just underneath her neck and between her shoulders. He had discovered that this drove her crazy and loved the sounds she made when he did it.
One of his hands caressed her ample breasts. The other slid between her legs. Sasuke continues peppering her back with kisses and nips.
"Nhhh!" Hinata moans and pants.
There was something that felt different about his touch. Normally, Sasuke was a little desperate in his touches, with just a hint of roughness. Now he was caressing her as if he was a master violinist and she was his violin. Both ways felt good, so good.
"Always so responsive." He purrs approvingly.
Hinata moans and bucks against his talented hand. She feels him rub her harder and cup her ass. Then he pushes her against the wall with her back towards him.
End of Lime
"Mikoto was such an adorable baby. Do you feel up to going for lucky number seven, kitten?" He growls into her ear seductively as he undoes the bun in her hair.
Sasuke blinks. Her hair only came to her back. Uh oh. He got the "wrong" Hinata.
"Sasuke, we've only had Mikoto. We won't have Arashi for many years. It's a bit early to be thinking about number seven." She says and turns around.
Oh God! That wasn't Sasuke! Well it was, but it wasn't. That was future…well present Sasuke.
"I'm sorry. Your hair was up and you both look identical from the back. It's not cheating. We are the same people, just different eras." He tries to reassure her.
"Y-Yeah." She mumbles and looks at her feet, blushing ruby red.
At the same time, Sasuke was just finishing up the dishes. That's when he felt Hinata sneak up behind him.
Warning Lime
"You are always so helpful. Why don't I help you relax?" She murmurs and didn't realize this wasn't 'her' Sasuke because the spikes in his hair had gone down due to the humidity of the hot summer night.
"What did you have in mind?" He asks curiously.
"How about this?" She asks as she slides her hand into his pants, underneath his boxers, and begins stroking him.
"Fuck!" Sasuke groans and bucks into his wife's hand.
This was surprisingly bold of her. Normally, Sasuke initiated things. He didn't mind it. He kinda got off on it really. But whenever she took control like now or on their Honeymoon, he'd be lying if he said it didn't make him harder than a rock.
"Mmm that's better." She purrs at him and continues her masterful teasing.
Sasuke growls. He was going to show her better. He'd bend her right over that damn countertop. Tease! He whirls around to do so and blinks. Ohhh. Not his Hinata.
End of Lime
"Sasuke, what's wrong?" She asks in confusion.
"Your hair…it's longer now. You aren't my Hinata. Well you are, but you aren't. Well you are going to be. GOD DAMMIT!" He says.
"Oh God. I'm so sorry. It's just your hair was down like his and I…sorry." She stammers.
"It's alright. I'm not angry. You didn't know. I can't really complain about feeling your hand against me like that. But…" He bites his lower lip and tells himself that it wasn't cheating, she was still his wife.
"We should probably all talk…to prevent further confusion." She offers.
"Good idea." Sasuke agrees.
The Sasukes and Hinatas all find each other a few minutes later. All of them instantly knew by the lowered eyes and flushed faces what had happened. Oh yes, this was going to be awkward.
"Sasuke! I'm so sorry. I thought he was you. He was doing the dishes and the humidity must have messed with his hair." Hinata says and rushes into the arms of the older Sasuke.
"She was in the shower, her hair was up in a bun. I should be apologizing to you." He murmurs and wraps his arms around her.
"I…he was behind me and I didn't realize. I'm so sorry!" Hinata says.
"She was behind me, while I was doing the dishes. I'm the one who should be sorry." He says and caresses her cheek.
"Alright. So it looks like we all got a bit mixed up. I think we can all agree that it wasn't cheating. So there's no reason to get upset." Sasuke says.
"Yeah. This is still awkward though. We really need a way to tell each other apart in situations like that or we'll have to ask just to make sure." He agrees with himself.
"We can just ask." Hinata says.
"It does seem the simplest and most reliable way." Hinata confirms.
"Good. Then when are in agreement. I think we should all get some sleep. That's more than enough…mixups for one day." He says.
Sasuke nods and takes his Hinata to the guestroom. This entire situation was so bizarre. He flops onto the bed and pulls Hinata down with him.
"I should have known it was the other Hinata. It was a bit out of character." He admits.
"What do you mean?" She asks.
"She was…bolder than you usually. Initiated things." He says.
"And you liked it?" Hinata inquires.
"Hinata, she's you. I like it anytime you touch me. But yeah…I did. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy being the one to pounce. There's something very hot about cornering my sexy prey." He assures her and runs his hand along her side.
"I like it when you pounce. But maybe…I could take the reigns more. I did like it on our Honeymoon." She says with a shy smile.
"That was awkward and what exactly did you do to him?" Sasuke asks Hinata, once they were in their room.
"Yes and…I took him into my hand is all." She mumbles.
"Well I can't really be upset that you did that because I might have showered with her." He admits.
"Well you have me for that now." She says.
"Yes, I do." He smirks.
Meanwhile back in the past, Hiashi goes to visit Sasuke, Hinata, and Mikoto. He blinks when he doesn't see them. The Hyuga Patriarch finds a rather distressed looking Aoda.
"You're telling me that they went to the future?!" He asks a few minutes later.
"I believe so. I saw a door similar to the one Master Haru went through." He says.
"Dammit! I'll tell Kakashi and have him check the chakra traces. Maybe we can find something that will help us bring them back!" He says.
"I hope so. I miss them already." Aoda sighs sadly.
Hiashi flits off to find Kakashi. There had to be a way to get them back. He wasn't going to have his daughter and granddaughter stuck in the future.
"Lord Hokage! It's an emergency! It seems that Hinata, Sasuke, and Mikoto were sucked through a door in a manner similar to Haru. Aoda believes they are in the future." He says.
"This situation just keeps getting stranger." Kakashi says.
"We have to help them!" He snaps.
"I will send some ninjas to take chakra samples. There might be a way to reopen the portal." He says.
"MIGHT?!" Hiashi roars in outrage.
"Time travel seems possible going from the future to the past, but we have yet to use it to go from now to the future intentionally." Kakashi reminds him.
"You're right." He says.
"I know you are worried about them. But we can not lose our heads. That will not help anyone." The silver haired ninja attempts to comfort him.
"I know." He agrees.
The next morning, in the future, Ryoko sighs. Dammit! He'd been so close, but those damn Uchihas had screwed him over, just like they had his mentor. He didn't have enough chakra to reopen a portal yet and try again.
It would take sometime to be able to do that. Though he knew the door would reappear naturally, according to his Sensei's notes. He just had to bid his time.
Dammit! Was that the Kazekage? He hides behind a tree quickly. He noticed the man was looking around. Thankfully, he didn't appear to sense him and headed straight into the Uchiha District.
"Takeshi!" Mikoto runs straight into his arms when she sees him walking into the District.
He smiles and swings her around. It was so good to see her. That's odd. Mikoto was normally surrounded by some of her family. Oh well, he'd enjoy the moment of privacy.
"I missed you as well." He says.
"The house is even fuller than usual." She warns him.
"Is Naruto's family visiting again?" He asks.
"No. Um you might want to sit down for this one." Mikoto warns him.
"Alright. It can't be that bad, can it?" He asks as he sits on the side walk.
"My brother came back from the past, but now my mother and father are HERE. So is my infant self." She adds.
"…Only in the Leaf Village." He says and shakes his head in disbelief, trying to process this.
"Yeah. It's probably a good thing you are here. Maybe some of your ANBU guards can analyze the chakra signature and try to figure out how to send them back. I mean I like having them here. But I'm worried about the possible ramifications to the timelines." She admits.
"Don't worry. It's strange, but if your brother went back and forth…I imagine they will manage." He reassures her and kisses her forehead.
"Yeah. I'm sure they will." She says with a smile.
"Besides, I'm sure you are an adorable baby." He adds and his eyes dance with mischief.
"TAKESHI!" She says and pins him to the sidewalk.
"Ah young love, so precious." An old lady says, crossing the street with her husband.
"I remember when we used to be like that. I still would if it wouldn't throw out my back." Her husband agrees and the young couple blushes.
Back in the Uchiha House, Sachi checks the mail. She goes to take it to her father. The girl looked excited about something.
"Hawks are coming." She says with a smile.
"Really? It has to have been a couple years since they last came here." Sasuke says.
"Hawks?" Hinata asks in confusion.
"My other team was called Team Hawk." Sasuke explains.
"Ohhh." She says.
"Where is Tai?" Hinata asks.
"He went to the waterfall. They have to get fish to practice the Mystical Palm Technique on." Akemi says.
Hinata nods appearing to accept this. She checks the date on that letter. It was sent a few days ago. That meant Team Hawk might already be in the village. Little did she know how right she was.
At the waterfall, the medics were collecting fish and some other Leaf Villagers had sought refuge in it from the hot summer day. Karin shakes her head. Her husband couldn't resist a waterfall. She supposed it was just the way his clan was wired.
"KIRA! Get down from there!" She yells at their daughter who was on the top of the waterfall along with some other teenagers and preteen ninjas.
"Yes, Mother!" She says with a wink and Karin screams when her daughter dives off the cliff.
Tai happens to look up just as she jumped off. Whoa! She had long hair that was white as snow and the most beautiful violet eyes framed by long lashes he'd ever seen. She was wearing a green and blue kimono.
Her dive was pure grace. She had just dove without any hesitation. Halfway down she began to turn into water! It was like something out of a dream. He'd never actually seen someone become an element before! His eyes bled red .
"Suigetsu! She's just as crazy as you are!" Karin says.
"Pft. She's fine. Give her some credit." Suigetsu says and secretly delights in how angry his wife looked. (She was even more beautiful when she was angry.)
"You two have the most twisted form of foreplay that I have ever seen." Jugo says with a sigh.
"SHUT UP!" They both yell at him.
Jugo sighs. The gentle giant just shakes his head. He was too used to their antics to take them to heart. Team Hawk had never been a normal team after all.
