The Chicken Situation
Sasuke felt the empty sleeve of his left arm being pulled down by a familiar weight.
Sarada, as a toddler, was once again trying to climb up her father's arm to get to his shoulders.
Sasuke shook his head and smiled when he saw his daughter's determined face as she tugged on the hem of his long sleeved shirt and tried to pull herself upwards.
"Up you go," he said as he hoisted her up and carried her. He clutched at her leg once she was situated on top of his shoulders, making sure she wouldn't fall while Sarada was making jerky celebratory movements.
"Yey, Papa! Yey!" Sarada was fondly playing with his hair while letting out childish laughter.
From the kitchen, he heard his wife suddenly bellow.
"Anata, why is there a chicken in the kitchen?"
Sasuke's brows furrowed in confusion. "I don't know. Didn't you cook some last night?"
"No, Anata. This chicken is very much alive."
Sasuke blinked surprised and made his way to the kitchen with their daughter.
True enough there was a live chicken at his wife's feet waddling around and clucking.
Near them were a few of Sarada's stray toys.
Sakura stared at her daughter atop her husband amusedly. "Sarada, did you bring the chicken inside the house?"
"Yes, Mama!" Sarada chided proudly.
"Now, why would you do that Sarada-chan?"
Sarada giggled and patted Sasuke's head. "Papa's hair looks like a chicken butt!"
It seems that would have explained Sarada's sudden fascination for chickens.
