Sun and Moons Love

Nina was walking down Konoha's streets with a small bag filled with oranges; Hinata had asked if she could go get some for her. Nina being the kind hearted person she was happily went to go get it for her mother.

"Hey Nina-Chan wait up!" Nina automatically stopped and turned around to the person calling her, she smiled.

"O-Ohayo Miko-Chan, what can I do for you?" Nina asks politely, but it kind of pains Nina to see Mikoto's face, because it's so much like Souta's.

"I need your help Nina-Chan!" Mikoto says with a smile. Nina giggles and nods, but walks on. "Sure, but I must give these to Mother first…. Would you like to come along?" Nina asks.

"Sure! It's been awhile since I've talked to Lady Hinata!" Mikoto says with a bright smile, Nina nods and leads the way.

After walking for about ten minutes they take a right and go down multiple roads, until finally they reach the Uzumaki complex. Minato was sitting on the porch awaiting Nina's return.

"Ohayo Imouto-Chan!" Minato shouts aloud, Nina smiles brightly she climbs the steps and gives her elder brother a huge hug, Mikoto smiles and waves, he pats her shoulder and gives her a bright smile as well.

"Good to see you again Mikoto." Minato says.

"Likewise." She replies.

"I got the oranges for Mother, w-will you take them inside for me… Mikoto needs help so I'm g-going to go with her for awhile, tell Mother I shall return later…" Nina says Minato nods and takes the bag; he then goes inside.

"Shall we?" Nina asks, Mikoto nods and the two best friends giggle and link arms.

"Gah! Onee-Chan… I hope your plan works…." A green eyed boy thinks angrily. He was sitting in the backyard of the Uchiha complex, he was in front of a small pond with pink salmon swimming around, the bench he was sitting on was a deep brown-oak color, and it rested right underneath a cherry blossom tree, pink petals fluttered in the small pond, the fish poked at it curiously.

Souta thought back to the time he was so mean and cruel to her.

-FLASHBACK!-

"O-ohayo Kuran-San… Kurohiko-San…" Nina politely says.

"Nina." Rima states, Katsumi nods his head.

"How can you even stand to speak to him…?" Souta whispers to Nina, but nonetheless Rima overheard it. Rima raises an eyebrow and stands up.

"Is there a problem?"

"You bet your ass there is…." Souta growls out. Katsumi stands up and has a glare on his features, Rima scowls.

"Look we all know what happened… we have to look past it…" Rima starts.

"Look past it….? LOOK PAST IT?" Souta booms, Nina flinches, he untangles her arm from his grasp.

"LOOK PAST IT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! MY BEST FRIEND IS DEAD… DEAD! BECAUSE OF THAT BASTARD!" Souta shouts out.

"DON'T GO BLAMING HIM! IT'S NOT HIS FAULT!"

"OH IT'S NOT HIS FAULT THAT HE KILLED SHUHEI?" Souta roars.

"NO IT ISN'T, IT WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE EXAM'S FAULT!" Rima shouts back.

"OH REALLY? THEN whose FAULT IS IT THAT THEY CARRIED OUT THE FUCKING PLAN?" Souta questions.

"HEY! IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED, OR DID ANYONE TEACH YOU BAKA!" Rima sneers out, Nina glares at her, she steps forward.

"What?" Rima snaps.

"Do not talk to him in such a manner." Nina states.

"Oh like he didn't talk to us in such a way…" Rima mutters.

"That doesn't mean you have to stoop to his level! He's upset… get over it! Who wouldn't be!" Nina argues in her best arguing voice.

"Look. We're just trying to eat…" Rima says clearly annoyed.

"And we came here to eat." Nina replies.

"Eat! MY BEST FRIEND CAN NO LONGER DO THOSE THINGS! HE CAN NEVER LOOK FORWARD TO HIS FUTURE! HE CAN NEVER GROW OLD, GET A WIFE AND KIDS, NEVER ACCOMPLISH HIS DREAMS OF BEING THE NEXT TOAD SANNIN! OR PROTECT HIS VILLAGE!" Souta screams out, Rima winces, she feels bad, but she sticks with Katsumi's side.

"I did what I had to do in order to survive… if that ment to kill then so be it… your friend… wasn't the only one in that arena with dreams… I can guarantee you it would be the same way vice versa if it was me dead and Shuhei alive." Katsumi states.

"You're right! It should have been vice verse… you should be the one dead." Souta says the last part through gritted teeth.

"Souta-Kun!" Nina says shocked, he scowls and turns around, she reaches for him but he jerks away from her soft touch, her eyes water, he sees the look of hurt on her face, but he ignores it and runs out into the rain, Nina is saddened.

-END OF FLASHBACK!-

"Come on this way" Mikoto says to Nina.

"O-Oh okay…" Nina says a bit nervously, she's not used to being inside the Uchiha complex. Souta sits up straight because he heard girls' voices.

"Miko-Chan w-where are we-" She's cut off when she sees Souta sitting on the bench; she then realizes it was a set up just to get her to talk to Souta again.

"Ohayo Nina-Chan." Souta greets.

"O-O-Ohayo S-Souta-Kun…" Nina says quietly.

"How are you?" He asks. Mikoto had disappeared without Nina knowing so she could give them alone time.

"I am fine and y-you?" She asks nervously.

"To be honest not so good…" He says while sighing. He walks to her and of course towers over her, she was 5,4 while he was 6,2 she was tiny.

She looked up blushing slightly; it was hard to look away those eyes… those eyes of his she always lost herself in them.

Souta grabbed the front of her shirt slightly and pulled her to him, her eyes widened when her head collided with his soft, but toned chest. She blushed; he wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around her head. He kissed her head his bangs shielded his eyes.

"Gomenosai, Nina-Chan… I was rude, hurtful, and not myself… you didn't deserve the actions I did… for that I apologize… Nina-Chan please will you forgive me?" Souta asks, not once letting her go, she nods and smiles, he backs away a bit and smiles at her, she blushes.

Souta tilts her chin up, and gently places his lips on her pink plump ones; she tippy-toes and wraps her arms around his neck, he sighs out peacefully, it was so good to have her in his arms again!

"Nina-Chan w-will, will you go on a date with me…?" Souta asks politely.

"Hai, you can have as many as you want with me Souta-Kun…" Nina says seriously without stuttering.

He smiles and grabs her hand they head out of the garden and make it to the front gates, but the person waiting there at the gates when they arrive, gives them chills.

"Mother do you need me to cut up the lettuce?" Mikoto asks to Sakura who is currently stirring the curry.

"Please, oh and while you're at it do you think you can handle the tomatoes?" Sakura asks.

"Of course." Mikoto replies.

There's a knock on the front door, Sakura sets the spoon to the side and smiles, she wipes her hands on her white apron, she goes to answer the door, when she opens it a pair of black obsidian eyes meet hers, but not of whom you may think.

"S-S-Sai-Kun?" Sakura questions.

"Hello Ugly." Sai says.

"B-But what are you, I mean how did… huh?" Sakura asks.

"Well you see Ugly… I went on a very long mission… and I returned… it's been a long time…" Sai says, he gained the knowledge of feeling. He grew that much was sure, but he no longer wore his old outfit, instead he wore a dark red long sleeve shirt, with a green flask jacket on signifying he was a Jonin, he had on black Shinobi shoes and black Shinobi pants. His Konoha forehead protector was around his waist, his hair grew longer.

"Yeah it has! About twenty years Baka!" Sakura accuses, but she smiles and playfully punches his shoulder. She invites him in, but he shakes his head.

"Sorry Ugly… but I must go visit a very special someone… and I don't think your spouse would like my presence, after all he did try to kill me." Sai says while winking, he smiles and takes off, but Sakura's words stop him.

"Wait!" Sai stops and turns around. Sakura looks back into the house and sees Mikoto's humming while cooking, Sakura exits the house and walks up to Sai, she sighs.

"I don't want you to cause trouble for Ino-Pig alright?" Sakura says sternly.

"Beautiful? She's still here?" Sai questions.

"Yes when you two broke up she decided it was best if she still stayed her… soon time passed and she realized her feelings for her teammate Shikimaru Nara… they married a year after going out… they have children now… they look so Kawaii and grown up especially Inoue…. However one of her children passed in an Anbu mission… it was her daughter Shika." Sakura states, Sai nods and takes it all in.

"I no longer have feelings for Beautiful; however that doesn't mean I don't still care for her… I appreciate you catching me up on a few things… I-" Sai says, but he sees a young lady open the door to the Uchiha complex. She has beautiful black Ebony hair and the brightest green eyes, a little brighter than Sakura's, but you can see a lot of Sakura's features in her; she's taller than her mother, but shorter than her father.

"Mother? I've finished." The said girl says.

"Very good Mikoto! M'kay go get washed up honey, I'll be there shortly." Sakura says, Mikoto smiles and nods, she sees Sai and bows respectfully to him then returns inside.

"I see you have children?" Sai questions.

"Hai, two and they're twins a boy and a girl, my daughter's name is Mikoto and my son's name is Souta." Sakura states.

"She looked a lot like you… but had her father's hair and nose…." Sai observed.

Sakura giggles and nods. She waves goodbye at Sai after exchanging a few more words.

Souta stood practically at attention at the man before him, the man smiled and waved it off, but Souta remained still, Nina confused stood behind Souta.

"Souta my how you have grown…" The man said his silvery white hair blew in the soft wind. Sakura opened the door to the house to call Souta and Nina inside for dinner, when she saw them talking to the man, her eyes widened, she put her boots on and ran with her amazing Ninja speed, Souta and Nina didn't see it coming, all they heard was a scream.

Sasuke came out of the house immediately, his Katana in hand, but he paused and sweat dropped at who it was.

"Kakashi-Sensei!" Sakura shouted.

Kakashi chuckled he hugged his female ex-student hard, then let her go.

"Good to see you again Sakura, same with you Sasuke." Kakashi says.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asks bored.

"Well I came to check up on how everyone was doing, I already checked on Naruto. I thought I would pay my other students a visit." Kakashi innocently states.

"Hn."

"Please Kakashi-Sensei please you must eat with us!" Sakura says, Kakashi shakes his head, but he sees the look on her face and nods.

"Sakura… please call me Kakashi… I am no longer your sensei… but…" Kakashi begins, fake anime tears pool around his eyes.

"IT'S GOOD TO KNOW I STILL HAVE ONE STUDENT WHO ADMIRES ME!" Kakashi shouts out happily, Nina and Souta laugh, Sasuke sweat drops, but has annoyed anime veins popping all around his forehead, Sakura nods and giggles.

"Well if everyone will come inside dinner is ready." Sakura announces.

Ino was washing the dishes and glancing at the twilight lit sky out of her kitchen window, Inoue was doing a paper at the kitchen table, Shikino like always was either on duty in Suna or scouring areas near the fire border. Shikimaru was out on a mission.

"Inoue…?" Ino called softly, completely out of character of her, ever since Shika's passing, she's become fragile, but when the time comes she can be fierce, Inoue immediately stops what he's doing and looks up, he's always been protective of his mother and respects her very much.

"Hai?"

"Can you dry the dishes?" She nicely asks, he nods and gets up, tucks his chair in and grabs a rag.

"So how is your relationship with Yukon going?" Ino asks while handing him a wet plate.

"It's going good… actually… Mother I need to ask you advice…" Inoue confesses, while biting his lip, Ino automatically sets down the plate and jumps with joy, he sweat drops, he was in for a big one. She grabs his arm and drags him to the couch, he almost dropped the dish he was drying; they sit down.

"Like!" Ino shouts, he's happy, he hasn't seen her this happy since Shika passed.

"Yuko-Chan's birthday is next week... I… I want to do something special for her…" Inoue says.

"Hmm I see maybe some flowers; I could make a beautiful bouquet for her! Oh! Then you can take her to dinner in the North side of Konoha, they have the best sushi bars there… or a fancy restaurant whichever you prefer… oh! Then a walk in the park? Nah to cheesy… hmmm." Ino brainstorms, she taps her index finger against her lips. Inoue chuckles at his mother. A light bulb goes off in her head.

"I got it!" Ino exclaims, she smirks and stands up she stands in front of Inoue and smiles brightly.

"Here's what you're going to do…. First you're going to give her the bouquet of flowers, her favorite of course! Then you're going to give her a kiss! But! It has to be on the cheek it's so gentlemanly! Then grab her hand and take her to the restaurant. Afterwards, I suggest going to see the stars in the park!" Ino says hurriedly, as if she were going to lose the idea at any moment.

"Uh mother… you said the park was too cheesy…" Inoue states.

"Eh! That was before I changed my mind! A park is so romantic!" Ino says she puts her hands to her cheeks because they were turning warm; she has hearts in her eyes.

"She'll love it! But first things first! I need her favorite color and favorite flower!" Ino says, she expects Inoue to go ask her, but he already knows and replies almost immediately.

"Her favorite color is pink… her favorite flower is a tulip." Inoue says Ino smiles warmly and nods; she grabs a pen and paper and writes it down.

"Alrighty then! We shall wait till then!" Ino says while winking.

"Until that time comes… Inoue can you go finish the dishes?" Ino asks.

"Hai, Arigatou Mother."

"You're welcome Inoue. Arigatou for asking your mother for advice! It was so Kawaii that you thought of her, most guys would shrug it off, but not my boy!" Ino gushes out.

Inoue's pride swells up, he's now very happy and determined; he goes to the kitchen to finish the task his mother asked him to do.

Ino sighs out peacefully, she goes to turn on the porch light, but there's a knock on the door, she raises an eyebrow and goes to answer it.

Ino faints.

Sasuke had his bowl of soup raised, and his chopsticks poised to his mouth, he was staring at Kakashi silently though, Nina and Souta were making small talk while eating, Mikoto was offering advice, but Sasuke kept his eye on the old dog. Sakura was staring at Sasuke to see why he was staring at Kakashi, she then remembers the times they had tried to unmask him; her eyes are shadowed with mischievousness.

"So Kakashi, how do you like the curry?" Sakura asks.

"It is very good Sakura! I remember you were our little cook on the team, no one else knew how to cook… well aside from Sasuke, but he always burnt the rice…" Kakashi says.

Mikoto giggles, Sasuke glares at Kakashi, a anger cloud drifts over Sasuke's head. Nina and Souta stop chattering to hear the story.

"I remember… it was on one of our missions to Suna… we needed to eat… well naturally they packed us packaged foods… and we didn't know how to cook them, Naruto attempted the first batch, but he managed to burn water -_-, Sasuke was next, and he burnt the rice to where I thought it was alive… I didn't know how because all I eat are practically sushi and energy bars…. So Sakura was left… to be honest at the time we all thought she was going to be the worst of us in the culinary area… but man she proved us wrong…" Kakashi states, Sakura blushes at the admiration of her cooking skills, Sasuke is still fuming over the embarrassing comment.

"Any-Hoo!"Kakashi shouts.

Kakashi grabs his tea and lifts it to his mouth, Sakura and Sasuke watch intently, Souta, Mikoto, and Nina watch the two Uchiha's curiously, they want to know why they are practically so tense around their old sensei.

"M-Mother?" Mikoto asks Sakura snaps out of her trance and looks at Mikoto and smiles.

"Yes?"

"Why are you staring at Kakashi-Sama?" Mikoto whispers, Sakura giggles.

"It's a secret, I'll tell you later, M'kay?" Sakura says while giggling.

"Hai." Mikoto says while smiling brightly.

Ino opened her eyes, she looked up and saw the ceiling, she blink a few times before sitting up, a wet rag fell off of her forehead, she winced and looked around, she realized she was on the living rooms couch, She stood up and stretched, she wondered what had happened.

"Inoue!" Ino calls out; in an instant Inoue is there, towering over his mother with a look of concern shadowing his features.

"Mother! Are you alright? You took a fall; if it weren't for Sai-Sama here you could've had a hard fall…" Inoue states.

"S-S-Sai…?" Ino stutters out. Inoue nods and points to the chair in the corner of the living room, she looks slowly and is shocked at what she sees, there he was… the man she used to love… that she still loved… but it was a small love.

"Y-You're here… I.." Ino begins.

"Hello Beautiful…." Sai says.

Inoue raises an eyebrow, he stands next to his mother, but she shakes her head and smiles, she looks at him. "I'm fine… you go ahead and go upstairs or go out, whichever…" Ino says, Inoue nods, he grabs his books and papers and goes to Yukon's to go study.

Ino turns to face Sai.

-Nel: HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I UPDATED AGAIN! YOSH! (Holds out thumb).
