Chapter 4

Emiko's PoV

It's almost the end of the week, then I get to go home. Although I have enjoyed my couple days here, I miss my home. Everyone has been visiting Kitami, Tamu-chan, and me lately. I sit on the cold floor outside watching Yuki take her daily nap and Tamu-chan looking up at the clouds. I hear someone come outside and turn around. It's Kitami.

"I need to talk to you." She says. I gesture for her to come sit next to me. She comes, and I ask her why.

"Mom thinks since that we have been staying here the week, that we should invite Gaara and Kankuro to our place. She says it'll be like one big vacation, only at the mansion back home. Kankuro already said yes, so you have to ask Gaara." Kitami tells me. I nod telling her I understand.

Tamu sits up and looks at us.

"I get the big room!" she shouts, while raising her hand for emphasis.

"…No you don't. I do." Kitami says.

"Actually, none of you do." A new voice pops up.

"Akemi?" All of us turn around.

Sure enough, a girl around their age is standing there with a tiny rabbit on her shoulder. The rabbit jumps off and hops over to Yuki. Akemi walks over and sits down next to Kitami and stares at her pet rabbit.

"So then…who gets the big room?" Tamu asks.

"Our mom will be home during the time I think, so she'll get it. I mean, it IS her room." Akemi says.

"But she's usually away at this time! Why does she have to stay now!" Tamu complained.

"Deal with it."

"NO!"

"YES!"

"Shut up."

Everyone turned to yet another new face.

"Kari, what are you doing here?" Tamu asks.

"What, I can't visit once in a while?"

"No…" Kitami said.

"Anyways, you're coming home tomorrow right? Mom is freaking out for some reason, so yeah…" Kari said.

I look at Akemi who looks like she's hiding something. I start to glare, and she breaks,

"Kaki and Iruka are coming home! She said that she has a surprise for us. Now stop staring at me like that."

Well that was easy. I stand up to go back in waving my good-bye to everyone else. I tell Tamu to watch Yuki for me and she gladly accepts.

Gaara's PoV

Working in the office all day isn't fun, trust me. Someone knocks on the door. I tell them to come in, and to my delight, it's Emiko.

"You're coming home with me and the others tomorrow." She tells me.

"Who says so…" I say.

"Me."

I smirk. She already thinks that I'll listen to her. I stand up and tell her to come to me. She reluctantly comes knowing something is up. I tell her to turn around, she does. I grab her from behind, my arms around her stomach.

"What makes you think I'll listen to you?" I ask.

"Because I have a certain charm to everything I do." She answers.

"Do you?" I ask as I kiss her neck.

"Yup."

Tamu's PoV

Everyone has already left. I sit on the couch playing with Yuki. I have always wondered why Yuki was so small.

'Maybe she doesn't age…' I think to myself.

I hear Kitami walk in.

"Hey, have you seen Emiko? I have to tell her something."

"Nope." I tell her. I am now making Yuki walk along the head of the couch. It's funny when she wobbles around. Kitami sits down next to me.

"You need to get some sleep." She tells me.

"No I don't. I'm perfectly fine." I say.

"Fine. But I'm going to go to bed. It's late, and we have to leave early tomorrow."

"Night Kitami-neechan."

"Night kiddo."

I look at the clock and realize that it's past ten. Uh oh. I've kept Yuki up to late. I go over to Emiko's room to put her pet to bed. I walk in quietly to find Emiko already asleep. Gaara is next to her with his arm around her. I put Yuki on their bed and leave. I have to get some sleep too, I'm not going to be able to catch up if I don't.

Everyone is now awake, ready to leave.

"Everyone ready?" Tamu asks.

"Sure…" Everyone else says.

"Great!" Tamu shouts.

(a/n: okay, they're just going back to Konoha. Nothing real exciting there. So I'm just going to skip that, and go to when they arrive at Konoha.)

X x x x x x x X

Ah. Peaceful Konoha. No disturbance in the air. That is, until a welcoming is in order.

"MIMI! THEY'RE HOME!" a small voice cried.

"MOM! THEY'RE HOME!" Mimi screamed.

Mimi ran up holding her arms up about to what looks like hug them all, Emiko thought quickly and put Yuki in front of Mimi's face so that she would hug the small wolf instead of them.

"What a welcome home." Tamu stated.

"Whee wolf! Mommy looook!" a little girl popped out of nowhere.

"Sakime-chan!"

"Tamu-chan!"

"Oh my god…there are two of them." Emiko gasped.

"Cut it out Emiko. Hey Tamu-chan, who is she?" Kitami asked.

"She's my daughter."

Everyone looked up to see a couple walking hand in hand. One looked like Kitami except older.

"Wah! Kaki, when did you have a kid?" Kitami asked.

"Well let's see, Saki-chan is 4 years old now. So I guess 4 years ago." Kaki answered.

"And I'm guessing that Iruka is the father…how can you hide a kid from us for 4 years? You don't live that far away…you guys like live right there." Emiko said.

"Well, have you seen me in the past 4 years?" Kaki asked.

"No…but still, it's kinda weird…Why didn't Iruka say anything? I saw him a lot." Emiko stated.

"She told me not to tell anyone we had a kid. I don't see why though." Iruka said.

"Um…everyone is waiting for us back home. We'd better go." Mimi said.

"Please…Kitami's bags are heavy." Kankuro said.

"You could use the exercise Kankuro" Kitami said.

He just glared at her.

"Oh my god, this house is huge!" Kankuro cried.

"I know! Isn't the best house you've EVER seen?" Tamu said.

"It's not that great…" Emiko said.

"Oh, just to tell you, mom got sent on a mission with dad so she probably won't be back for a while." Kaki said.

"What? I thought they were here…" Mimi said.

"Well, let's go say hi to everyone else…" Kitami said. Completely ignoring Mimi.

"Yay!" Sakime said.

All of them walked through the front garden and in towards the large doors. Kaki opened the door, 10 to 12 animals must have run or flown out of the house.

Kitami's PoV

"I'm home!" I say.

It's nice to back after staying a week at someone else's place. A small panda crawled into my arms. I cradled the panda in my arms while saying, "Mamo-chan! Oh, I missed you so much!"

"Who's that?" I hear Kankuro ask me, while everyone else was settling down.

"This is my pet panda Mamo-chan. She's my little baby! Aw, I can't believe I went through a whole week without her. Here, hold her." I give Mamo to Kankuro. He obviously has never held anything like her.

"Don't hold her like that!"

"Well, I haven't really held a panda before!"

"Hmph, what's going to happen when you have a kid?" I cry.

"Okay then, teach me how to hold a panda. But you know, a panda is not a baby." He scolds.

"I hold Mamo-chan the exact way I hold a baby. Here, hold her like this." I fix his hold on the small panda, and smile at him. "There, see! It's not that hard…"

"Can I ask you a question?" He asks me.

"Sure." I say.

"Why do you only have sisters? I mean you don't have ONE brother."

"…The women in this family can only conceive girls…they're rare cases when someone in this family has a boy. It's like a family curse. I don't know why we can only have girls, but that's just how it is…" I tell him as I take Mamo-chan back.

Everyone else is gone now, so it's just us in the large room. We stand there in silence for a few more seconds until, "So…if WE had a kid, it'd be a girl?" Kankuro asks me.

I stare at him at shock with my eyes wide. I almost drop Mamo-chan, but she climbs up onto my shoulder.

"What?" I whisper.

He's looking at me with the same eyes when he told me he loved me. He's now walking towards me. Oh my god. Did I hear him right? He puts his forehead against mine.

"If we had a kid together. It would have to be a girl?" He said.

"I-Kankuro-we-I don't-what?" I stutter.

He laughs. "You don't have to answer me now. We'll just have to see."

He walks away with our bags. I just stare after him.

I walk through the halls to the room that has the most noise. I walk in and I'm greeted with what I think are hundreds of voices. I ignore them all, still stunned at what Kankuro had asked me. I sit down on the couch. Mieko sits next to me.

"What's wrong?" she asks me.

I turn to her smiling. "Nothing is wrong." I try to give a reassuring smile.

"Don't lie to me. You know I can tell when someone is lying. Tell me later okay?" She gets up and runs across to Shino. They walk out towards their favorite spot in the whole house, the gigantic garden.

Everyone is so happy. I just need some rest. I get up and walk towards my room.

Emiko's PoV

I watch Kitami walk out of the room. I tell Gaara to go wait in my room. He goes, and after a little while I go after Kitami. I knock on the door twice to let her know someone is there. I walk in to find her on her bed staring out in space.

"Hey. You okay?" I ask her.

"Sure…" She answers.

I sit across from her.

"What happened."

"I…Kankuro…just asked me if he and I had a kid…would it be a girl…" she said.

I'm confused. "Wait, start from the beginning…" I tell her.

"Oh. Right. Well, during the week, Kankuro and I…um…well we slept together…" I stare at her with my mouth open. I didn't think that Kitami was that kind of person. I nod at her to go on. "And well, the next morning he told me he loved me. And then today he asks why I only have sisters and no brothers. I tell him that well our family can only have girls and well, he asked, if we had a kid, then it would be a girl? I mean, I'm kinda freaking out her now. Is it just me? Am I crazy?"

I stare at her. "Kitami…he is obviously in love with you. Is it that you just can't handle that fact?" I ask her.

"Well-"

We hear a loud crash outside towards our garden. We run over there to see everyone else there. A man is standing there with two guards on either side of him.

"Where is she?" He yells.

A VERY angry Mieko is glaring at him.

"If you touch one more flower…I'm going to kick your ass." Mieko threatens. Everyone has now formed a circle around them. Shino is standing besides her protectively. The man picks up a pot and drops it. A huge gust of wind starts to pick up.

"You asshole…do you not no how to listen!" Mieko screams at him.

She charges at him at full speed. She jumps in the air and forms senbon in her hand. She throws them at him. He dodges them easily but is caught off guard as Mieko suddenly appears behind him. She kicks him in the back to send him to the ground. She then forms some seals and bites her finger, and writes the kanji 'fuku' in the air. Two swords appear in place as she grabs them. The man attempts to get up, but Mieko holds one sword up to his neck.

"Leave…now…"

"Not until I see Emiko."

I gasp. How in the hell does he know my name?

X x x x x x x X

Dun Dun Duhhhh

Who is this man? What does he want with Emiko? Um…I can't really tell you. You have to wait for the next chappie! Which will be up tomorrow!
YAY!

Anyways, please review!

Thanks!
