As Sakura was cooking breakfast, she noticed something odd about the way her kitchen accessories were placed.

"I don't remember putting the chopsticks over there, hmm...maybe my memory's failing?"

She heard the water turn on and knew that Sasuke was taking a shower. Five minutes later, Sasuke came down toweling his hair dry and shirtless.

"And why, grand Uchiha, did you NOT bother to put a shirt on?"

"Oh...no reason...its sorta hot dontcha think?"

"You just took a shower of course its hot."

"I suppose."

Then Natsu came downstairs with a brush in his hand, already dressed for the Ninja Academy.

"Okaa-san, can you brush my hair for me?"

"Sure...Sasuke-kun can you handle breakfast or do I need to help you?"

"I'm sure I can handle it."

"Right...don't burn yourself..."

Natsu gave his mother the hairbrush and stood with his back to her so that she could start combing through his tangled locks. She started to comb gently, not like other parents do. It didn't hurt Natsu that much considering she didn't just PULL through his hair like other parents would've done, but she untangled it slowly, gently. His green eyes looked everywhere, examining the house like he did every morning. Then he pointed to a spot on the wall.

"What is it, Natsu-kun?" Sakura asked, not looking up from her son's multicolored hair.

"Since when was the yin yang symbol next to the Uchiha fan?" (i was tempted to say Pepsi sign instead of fan but oh well)

Sakura looked up and Sasuke turned around, obviously expecting their son to be hallucinating. But it was true. The yin yang symbol was pinned on the wall next to the Uchiha fan by a kunai.

"Otou-san, okaa-san, what's wrong?" Natsu asked, noting his parents sudden silence.

"No...nothing's wrong, Natsu-kun," Sasuke answered, coming back from his frozen state. He finished cooking the rice porridge that the family had for breakfast every weekday morning, got out three china bowls from the cabinet, and served the porridge. He placed the three bowls on the table with a china spoon next to it. Then he went up the stairs to go and put his trademark blue shirt with the Uchiha fan on the back on.Sakura finished combing her son's hair, and she gave Natsu the hair brush to put away. He went upstairs and put it away in the bathroom. They could hear him clunking around trying to reach the mirror cabinet where he was supposed to keep it. Then he came back down and sat down at the table with his parents. Sasuke, being the ninja he was, had already gotten down there.He spooned the porridge into his small mouth faster than Sakura or Sasuke could see. Then they found themselves kissing him goodbye and wishing him a good day at school.

Sakura handed him his white bento box with the chopsticks already inside, and Sasuke ruffled his son's hair before he left the house, yelling, "I'll see you after school, Otou-san, Okaa-san!" Then the oriental door slammed and their son was gone, walking down the road to the Ninja Academy, or the Road of Life, as Kakashi so finely puts it. They looked at each other, then slowly got up. Today was an important day for Cell 7. Their reunion of the day when they first became a cell. They rolled their eyes simultaneously. This happened EVERY year, and EVERY year it was TERRIBLE. They walked out of the house to pick Naruto up. As they knocked on the door, they heard someone yelling, "Oh crap! It's 8:00 already!" then a CRASH, then a THUD, then a BANG, then another CRASH, and finally a VERY disheveled Naruto was standing in front of them.

"You dobe hurry up. Our Genin reunion."

"Oh yeah that's right huh? Surprised you actually remembered teme...you hardly even remember your own birthday!"

"Shut up Usuratonkachi."

Naruto quickly got dressed, brushed his hair, brushed his teeth, ate a really fast breakfast, wished his family goodbye and headed out the door. Before he shut the door, Sakura yelled to Hinata, "Can you watch Natsu for us? We probably won't be back until after he comes home."

"Ok..." Hinata said.

As the three walked off to the said reunion place, they could hear the door slamming of the Uzumaki residence and the door to the Uchiha residence unlocking and opening. They could only hope that the reunion this year wouldn't be like last years.

Flashback

"Hey, Sasuke-teme!"

"What, dobe?"

"Fight me 'hic!'"

"No. Your drunk."

"Who 'hic' cares?"

Then a very drunk Kakashi-sensei walked up to both of them with Sakura trailing behind, ready to pound anyone if need be.

"Well...'hic' this is 'hic' quite a surprise 'hic.' The great 'hic' Uchiha Sasuke 'hic' refusing a battle?"

"Hmph...you two couldn't find a cat in a tree if it was staring you right in the eye."

Kakashi opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut off by Naruto's dreadful singing. He was singing in fact, don't kill me, "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" from teh Lion King. Then as Naruto's dreadful solo reached the highest note, a bird fell from the sky and landed on Kakashi's head. Kakashi pulled it off and stared at it. "IT'S SO KAWAII!" he squeed at the top of his lungs. And then...everything went downhill from there.

"Yeah just don't get drunk this year, Naruto..."
