Chapter Five
Kazuya, Makoto, Mizuki, and Kiba were at the training groups taking a small break after a vigorous afternoon of training. It had been 4 years since the defeat of the Akatsuki, and since Deidara married Sakura. They had told their sons that it was because they needed both a mother and a father, but the boys believed that there was something going on between the two. All three of the ninja in their team had advanced to jounin despite their young ages.
On that one day they were more nervous than ever. The reason was because of the scariest thing on earth: their mother was giving birth to another set of twins, this time girls. When Sakura told Deidara that she was pregnant again his reaction was rather interesting. He had been pour soy sauce onto his rice when she made the announcement, and then he kept pouring and pouring until is began to spill onto his favorite pair of pants.
Makoto kept shooting nervous looks at Kazuya, who was doing the exact same thing. Mizuki and Kiba watched them and rolled their eyes. Under Hinata's care the twins and their mother would be just fine. When her handsome strawberry blond teammate glanced at her she blushed. He noticed and blushed back. Kiba walked over to Kazuya and whispered into his ear. "Look at your brother and Mizuki."
He took a glance over and almost laughed aloud. They were both redder then a field of tomatoes, but only had eyes for each other. Kazuya shook his head and was jealous of his brother. At least he had something to take his mind off the birth of his sisters. Out of nowhere a small clay bird flew over head carrying a note. Kazuya beckoned it over and took the note away.
"Hey, love birds! Look at this." He yelled, and the two teenagers got even redder but they came over to read the note.
Your mother had another set of twins, both girls, as expected. Their names are Amaya and Riko. Come to the hospital at once, if your teacher lets you…yeah. It was signed by their father.
The twins didn't even have to ask. Kiba just nodded and they were gone in a flash, leaving the other half of the team behind.
"Well…" Kiba started and looked down at the blushing girl. Her white eyes looked up at him and he smiled. "We should probably join them."
"Yeah…" She agreed and hurried after her crush. Kiba sighed. Young love, he thought and hurried after. Mizuki wasn't known as the fastest Kunoichi and Konoha for nothing.
In the hospital bedroom things were chaotic. Both babies were crying their lungs out despite all that the medics and the parents did. The eldest, Amaya, was the loudest. Riko's lungs weren't as powerful, but she could keep it up for longer.
"If this is what you had to put up with after the boys were born I'm sorry…yeah." Deidara yelled over the noise.
"They weren't this bad," Sakura said with a shrug. When the said boys ran in, the babies began to quiet down. They were more interested at inspecting the new arrivals. "Kazuya, do you know how much I love you?" Sakura asked sweetly. The dirty blond made a face.
"Fine, fine. Hand the kid over." He was immediately handed Amaya. Sakura found it funny they were inspecting each other the exact same way. Makoto silently took Riko and was bouncing her in his arms. It was silent in the room.
Sakura sighed and moved when she felt somebody lay down beside her on the hospital bed. She wasn't surprised that it was Deidara.
"Do you ever regret this?" She asked him quietly.
"Regret what…un?"
"Leaving the Akatsuki and starting a quiet and boring life in Konoha."
"Not for a single second…yeah."
AN: Alright, this series is finished. Wow, it took me an entire day, but I had nothing else to do. Thank you to reviewers and please review if you haven't already. I'd really appreciate it. For the people waiting for the next, and last, chapter of The Plum Blossom I'm happy to say that I've finished typing it, but the bad news is its on my sister's laptop. It may be a while before I can update that. Thank you for being patient.
