I ish sleepy. I'm so pissed now though! I thought I did really good on my biology test and I only made a 70! ARGH!!!!!

.Sasuke and Itachi's sharingan eyes are staring at me and it's slightly unnerving.

Ivvy-sama: I totally understand what you mean about preferring the blood and gore (I feel the same) but I'm trying to get better at writing the whole romance stuff. Haha, that would be an awesome one-shot!

cheeky half-demon: No, sorry, I don't think Haruki is going to miraculously come back to life. You never know though.

ReadtheWritten: I'm glad you love it! And I love you too (in the friendly way of course).

Sakura02: HAHA, I made you like three OC couples in like, one week! I'm amazing

BluEbErRy-ChAn: Of course I'll give you a cookie too (hands over cookie). I'm sorry I forgot to give you one!

Next Tuesday, on March 10, Akatsuki Baby will officially be one year old!!! Yay!


Two months. That's how long Kakashi and Haruki had been together. Haruki was still shy about the whole thing, not used to having someone as amazing as Kakashi be so affectionate with someone like her.

"Ouch, Mikoto-chan!" Haruki whined. "Those pins hurt!"

Mikoto rolled her eyes. "Stop being such a baby, Haruki. We have to make you look cute tonight. Maybe you and Kakashi will finally…"

"Shut up!" Haruki screamed as she tackled Mikoto to the ground.

Sasuke poked his head into the room before looking over at his father who was sitting in the foyer. "Daddy, why is Haruki-san sitting on top of Mommy?"

Fugaku rolled his eyes. "It is best never to question what those two do, Sasuke."

Itachi walked behind his brother, raised an eyebrow, and then picked Sasuke up. "Let's go get ready for the festival."

Mikoto giggled as Haruki helped her up. "Seriously though, Haruki, you and Kakashi haven't even…"

"Don't make me tackle you again." Haruki muttered out, blushing a bright red. "I mean, we've kissed and stuff but it's always just….how to describe it…like he's scared he's going to break me." Haruki pouted.

Mikoto rolled her eyes as she helped Haruki into her kimono. "So, show him you aren't gonna break." She tied Haruki's obi.

Haruki combed her hair, deciding to leave it down for the Summer Festival. Her kimono was a bright blue with orange koi dancing across the fabric. She frowned. "Mikoto-chan…"

Mikoto looked up from fixing her hair. "What's wrong, Haruki?"

Haruki quickly put a smile on her face, shaking her head. "No, it's nothing. Don't worry."

"Mommy," Sasuke ran into the room wearing a light blue yukata with the Uchiha fan on the back. "are we about to leave? I wanna go play the games."

Itachi walked into the room, wearing an identical yukata to Sasuke. "You look very nice, Haruki-san."

Haruki smiled, a light pink dusting her cheeks. "Thank you, Itachi-kun."

"Let's go!" Sasuke whined, tugging on his mother's kimono sleeve. "I want Itachi to win me a fishy!"

Mikoto giggled and picked him up. "Okay. We need to go meet up with Kakashi anyway."

The group made their way to the festival area. Sasuke was perched on Itachi's back while Mikoto walked in between her husband and best friend. Kakashi was waiting for them at the festival entrance.

He smiled and hugged Haruki when she reached him. He gave her a sweet kiss. "You look pretty tonight."

Haruki's blush returned full force. "Thank you. You look very nice too."

"Haruki-sensei!!!!" Naruto ran up to the two teachers, giving Kakashi a suspicious glare before turning his brilliant smile to Haruki. "Look what I got!" He held up a pink teddy bear. "I'm gonna give it to Sakura-chan!"

Haruki giggled. "That's very sweet, Naruto."

"That's stupid." Sasuke said, glaring at the offensively pink thing in Naruto's hand.

Naruto glowered at the small boy. "What'd you say, Duck Butt?"

Haruki gently pulled Naruto away from Sasuke. "Please don't fight, boys. Here," She handed each boy a few ryos. "go get some food and play a few games."

Both boys' eyes lit up. They grabbed the money and ran off, screaming their thanks.

Itachi sighed. "I'll keep an eye on them."

Mikoto tugged on Fugaku's arm. "I want some cotton candy!"

Fugaku rolled his eyes. "That's what you need; pure sugar."

Only and Kakashi and Haruki lingered at the entrance, their hands entwined. Kakashi smiled at Haruki. "Let's go find a spot to watch the fireworks."

Haruki nodded, allowing Kakashi to lead her to a secluded area by the lake. She squeaked when Kakashi pulled her into his lap. She giggled when he began placing kisses all over her face. "Stop it, 'Kashi. I want a real kiss." She pouted.

Kakashi smirked and kissed her on her lips. This one was longer and more deeper than any of the others the couple had shared. Kakashi abruptly pulled away, putting his mask back on. "The fireworks are about to start."

Haruki frowned. It was always like this with Kakashi. Anytime their kissing would turn less than innocent he stopped. She surprised both of them when she pinned Kakashi to the ground. Her kimono bunched up above her knees as she straddled his waist. "Why do you always do that?"

Kakashi's brain was mush at this point. "Do what?" She's so cute when she's angry.

"You always just pull away. Do you just hate touching me that much?" Haruki squeaked as Kakashi sat up. She blushed when she realized her kimono had ridden up higher.

Kakashi gave her a very serious look. "I assure you, Haruki, that I most definitely don't hate touching you. That's the problem."

Haruki blinked. "How is that a problem?"

Kakashi sighed before pressing his forehead against Haruki's. "I just don't want to scare you away."

Haruki rolled her eyes. "I'm not a little kid or anything. I may be naïve but I'm not stupid or a total prude. If you want to have sex then just tell me. I'll decide if I'm ready or not."

Kakashi's eyes widened for a fraction of a second before he chuckled. "I see Mikoto-san is rubbing off on you." His eyes turned mischievous. "So what if I said I wanted to do it right here, right now?"

Haruki blushed and peered over Kakashi's shoulders. "Well, I'd say it wouldn't be appropriate since Sasuke and Naruto are standing behind you."

Kakashi whipped around and sure enough, the two young boys were standing there, their eyes wide.

Naruto reacted first. "What are you doing to Haruki-sensei!?"

Kakashi sighed while Haruki giggled. He gave her a brief kiss. "Another time then." He pulled her out of his lap and situated her so she was sitting in between his legs, her back pressed to his chest.

Naruto and Sasuke ran over. Naruto sat to Haruki's left while Sasuke was on her right. Naruto glared angrily at Kakashi, muttering about perverts while Sasuke happily ate a caramel apple.

"There you are!" Mikoto skipped into the area, Fugaku close behind. She plopped down beside her son and pulled her husband down to sit beside her. She looked around. "Where's Itachi? I thought he said he would watch the boys."

"They ran off." Itachi said as he entered the area as well. He sat down and put Sasuke in his lap so that he was now sitting beside Haruki. He raised an eyebrow. "Haruki-san, why is your kimono…?"

Haruki looked down and blushed, realizing her kimono was still bunched up. She quickly pulled it down and laughed nervously. She didn't have to give a response though since the fireworks started a few moments later.

The group was oblivious to a pair of angry sharingan eyes staring at them.


Sorry, I would've posted this earlier in the week but….it made Mei-chan get all blushy and nervous so it took me a while. Let me know what you guys thought!
