Chapter 1: The Dragon Family Are Cute
"Here we are." Naruto led Aoi into his apartment as they push Jaajaa and Nana in the stroller that they bought from a nursery store, "That is my…Eh, I mean, our home." He scratched his cheek with index finger, "It have been a while since I came home so I have to do some cleaning and move things around." He looked around, "Um, and babyproof everything."
"Ah, this place look so nice." Aoi examined the apartment with a cheery smile, it appear to be a very plain apartment with kitchen, one bedroom, living room and a bathroom. "And big enough for our babies to fly around once they mature enough."
"…Fly…?" The blonde looked up to the ceiling with a blank expression, do he have to babyproof the fan too?
"Oh, we need to feed them." The dragon woman said as soon as the twin start to fuss before she turn to him, "Naruto, take your shirt off."
"…Nani?" Naruto's head whipped to her with widened eyes, "D-Did I mishear you? Did you just tell me to take my shirt off?"
"No, you didn't mishear me." Aoi giggled at his reaction as she rocked the stroller gently to calm the fussing twins a bit, "We have to make a skin contact for breastfeed and back-to-back is one of best methods."
"O-O-Oh, I see…" He muttered dumbly, "…Why? Is that a sky dragon thing?"
"They need to receive human immunity force from you." She answered with a smile, "It'll be silly for the girls to receive them from me. Ah, and a bit of chakra from you too."
"…Um, ok…" Naruto muttered again, he really don't understand it at all.
"We have to do it everyday because it's very important." Aoi remove her clothes, causing the blushing genin to swiftly turn around. "Without your immunity force, they'll might catch unknown diseases and consequences can be very dire."
"Nani?!" His eyes widened, "That'll be very bad…Wait, everyday? For how long? I mean, what if I get send out on mission?" His face flushed again when he feel Aoi press her bare back against his back and he tried his best not to knowledge the fact that there's a nude girl behind his back. "M-M-Maybe I'll use kage bunshin in this case? Will they count?"
"As long as it take." The blue-haired dragon carefully positioning the babies in her arms before she breastfeeding them for the first time, "Oh, wow. They really come out from there." Naruto tried his best to ignore this part, "Oh, and what is kage bunshin?"
"It's a clone jutsu but instead of illusion, they're solid and have more chakra." Naruto replied before he scratch his cheek lightly with index finger, "Although, I'm not sure if they have immunity force thing."
"Well, we can check it the next time." Aoi hummed and the new parent wait quietly until the twin have their fill before she put them back in their strollers so they can get dressed.
"Um, I'll go clean and set things up." He faced the mother of twin before he glance down at the sleepy twin, "You can put them on bed…" He took a book out to read it, "Belly up. It say here it's dangerous for baby to sleep on their stomach or sides."
"Thank you, Naruto." She smiled brightly at him, "I will do that." She gently pick the twin up again and she carry them to his…Their bedroom.
"…Again, how did I end up getting a dragon family?" Naruto looked up to the ceiling for a moment, "…Oh, right…Soulmate thing…" He start his chores and summon some clones to babyproof everything or assembling things together like crib for example.
Naruto quietly peek inside the bedroom and his eyes was almost immediately locked with Aoi's eyes as she lie on bed with her arm on the slumbering twin, both tucked under blanket. "Ah, Naruto, come in." She chirped.
"I just finished everything." Naruto tiptoed in as the blue-haired dragon nodded, "The crib will be put here after I move few things around here." The bedroom was pretty small compared to the apartment. "Did you have any trouble putting them to sleep?" Naruto get close to the twins to examine their sleeping faces, Jaajaa have a big smile on her face with moving balled-up fists and Nana was quietly snoring while stay still. 'Cute.' He has a good idea of what personalities his children have.
"No, not at all." Aoi smiled down at her daughters, "I think they were tired from breaking the eggshells out and their feedtime. Although, Jaajaa tried to stay active for a little while." She giggled, "I bet she get it from her papa."
"Yeah, everyone said I was very hyper when I was young." Naruto chuckled lightly before he closed his mouth with a pause, it's still too weird for him and what make it more weird is how easy he's accepting it.
"Oh, I can't wait to hear it." She gave him a bright cute smile, "I want to know my soulmate more."
"Likewise, I want to getting know you more." He muttered before he clear his throat lightly, "And about that, I can tell you later during dinner. Is there anything that dragons can't eat or…?"
"Mm, dragons can eat anything so you have nothing to worry about." Aoi replied with a smile and Naruto was about to say something until he feel something gripping his finger.
"Huh?" Naruto looked down to see that Nana have wrap her hand around his finger in her sleep and she look very content. '…They're my kids.' He swear his heart have been stole in this moment.
"Aww, how cute." The blue-haired dragon cooed at the sight.
"Whoa, you're so energized." Naruto said to Jaajaa the next day, who was kicking and flinging her arms with gleeful giggle as her father struggled to put a modified red footies. He pull the sleeve over her right arm then buttoned it up, "Finally!" He exhausted out, "Who know it'll be hard to dress a baby up?" The baby just giggles at him with grabbing hands, "Yes, hilarious, I know." The blonde pick the squealing baby up before he turn to Aoi, who just finished put blue footies on Nana. "Ready?"
"Ready." Aoi nodded with a smile as the parents placed the twin in stroller.
"Awooo!" Jaajaa clapped with exciting shout.
"Dau!" Nana held onto the baby handle.
"You two are exciting for your first outing with papa and mama." The mother of twin laughed while the blonde fastened the twin in before she look to him as he stand up, "So where are we going to first?" They were going on a walk to exploring Konoha and visit some places like another baby store for example.
"Since it's morning, we should look at some parks." Naruto walked to the front door, "Then baby store and stop by at Ichiraku Ramen for lunch. I wanna introduce you to old man and his daughter."
"Ichiraku Ramen?" Aoi blinked before she tilt her head, "Never heard of it. You must be an regular if you say you know them pretty well."
"Yup!" He grinned, "I always go there almost every single day for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
"Oh, I see…" The blue-haired dragon girl can't help but to sweatdrop, that does not sound very healthy to a dragon.
"Let's start our Konoha tour…" Naruto opened the door with a wide grin, only to pause with blinks as he stare at Kakashi who was holding his fist up in mid-knock pose and the masked ninja blinked back in mild surprise. "Kakashi-sensei? Long time no see. What bring you here?"
"Hello, Naruto." Kakashi gave him a eye smile, "I came to welcome you back and tell you that we will…Have…" He slowly trail off when he see Aoi and babies in stroller, "I don't know you have guests over."
"Huh?" The blonde glanced over his shoulder to his family then back to his sensei, "Oh, they're not guests. They're my family." He gestured to his family as the teacher blinked rapidly, "That is my soulmate, Aoi, and our daughters, Jaajaa and Nana. Jaajaa is one with black horns and Nana is one with white horns. Aoi, that is my sensei, Kakashi. He's in charge of my team."
"Hello." Aoi smiled warmly.
"Kya?" Jaajaa tilted her head with a coo and her young sister copied her action.
"Hello…" The masked jonin greeted before he suddenly whipped his head to his student with widened eyes, 'Wait, what?! Naruto have a family now?! At his age?!'
"By the way, are you just here to say hello or am I called in for something important?" Naruto questioned his teacher, "If not, I'd like to go walk with my family."
"…Go ahead…" Kakashi stepped aside in daze as the family walk past him and out of his sight with some byes. The masked jonin slowly walk down the stairs then out of the apartment building and he just stand there, staring off in distance with many questions floating around his head. 'What happened on this trip? How long have they been together for? Are they living together? How old are these babies? They look about a year old…I can't…'
"Oh, Kakashi." The said man turned to see Jiraiya and everything just clicked in his head. "Have you seen Naruto…"
"You scumbag." The masked jonin gave the toad sennin a dirty glare as Jiraiya got off guarded by that, "I know you're super pervert and all but you went too far! You manipulated Naruto into losing his V-card for your book, didn't you? Then when his wife get pregnant with his children, you told him to ran away but no! Naruto is too good enough to take responsibly for it and raise his family!" The last part was a pure assumption on his part but it's not out of character for the pervy sage in his view. "You filthy scumbag!" He gave the gobsmacked sage one more dirty glare before he stomped away.
"…I'M INNOCENT!" Jiraiya threw his hands up with a cry, "INNOCENT! I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS GIRL BEFORE IN MY WHOLE LIFE!"
"Aoo!" Nana attempted to reach for the flower that's in her father's hand and she giggle when he tickle her nose with the flower before she sneeze cutely.
"Aw, so cute, so cute!" Aoi cooed at the sight while bouncing Jaajaa on her laps, the small family were staying at the third park and enjoy it because the twins have taken some liking to flowers and a small pond. She cooed more when Jaajaa plop her hand on her mother's cheek with a big giggle. "Awww, only if we have camera to take pictures."
"Camera?" Naruto sat next to her on bench with Nana on his laps, "They're pretty expensive few years ago but I heard that they lower the price lately because of some new models. Maybe we can check and see if we can afford one. If not, we can save up for it."
"Really?" The mother of twin's eyes lit up as he gave her a nod, "Oh, that'll be so great!" She lean her head on his shoulder with a beaming smile, "You're so sweet to me."
"You and the girls are my most precious people." The blonde wrapped his free arm around her shoulders to her joy. It's really shocking how easy Naruto have taken with her and how comfortable he feel around her and their children after barely meet them yesterday. He wonder if it's related to soulmate thing? That or he have a thing for a cute girl like Aoi and he don't know he have a type until now?
"Naruto?"
"Hey, is that you, Naruto?!" The said genin look up with Aoi to see two familiar faces walk close to them from different directions.
"Oh, Kiba, Ino!" Naruto recognized them right away before he notice Kiba's partner, "Whoa! Akamaru got huge!" His eyes nearly pop out at the size of huge dog, "What did you feed him?"
"Just regular dog chow." Kiba replied and he was about to say something.
"Kya." Jaajaa stretched her arms out to the giant dog.
"Aou?" Nana looked very curious about the creature.
"You want to pet him?" Aoi looked down at her daughters before she look up to Kiba with a gentle smile, "Is it okay for them to pet your dog?"
"Huh, oh sure." Kiba blinked at her as he scratched the back of his head, "Akamaru's pretty friendly with kids." He wonder why a cute babe was snuggling up with Naruto with two babies, 'Is she his girlfriend and they're looking after her baby sisters?' Ino also share the same thought but she's more curious about their relationships, after all she love gossips and love life.
"Look, Nana, Jaajaa." Naruto leaned forward slightly while the parents hold onto their daughters as he pat Akamaru's fur, "Softy dog."
"Kyah!" The twin girls copy his action and the parents chuckled as soon as Jaajaa press her face in the fur with a squeal while Nana examine the fur with her hands, her eyes shined slightly.
"Hehe, maybe we should get a pet." Aoi said to Naruto with a small giggle.
"In the future, maybe." Naruto replied, "The apartment doesn't allow pets."
"Oh, is that so?" The blue-haired girl hummed with a light shrug, 'Will the girls like stuffed animals?' She has to make sure they're soft and baby-safety. "Look like we have so much to save up. How long will it take until we can change apartment?"
"Three years, give or take." Her soulmate hummed.
"So, Naruto, it's good to see you but I gotta ask, who is she and her sisters?" Ino asked with a cat-ate- canary grin.
"Ah, sorry, I forget to introduce you guys." The blonde genin scratched his head sheepishly with a grin before he introduce each other, "Aoi, that is Ino, Kiba and Akamaru. Guys, that is my soulmate, Aoi, and our daughters, Jaajaa and Nana."
"Hello." The blue-haired mother of twins greeted them warmly with polite smile.
"Hey, it's nice to…Meet…You…" The blonde kunoichi slowly trail off as her grin fade into a tight line, '…Soulmate…Daughters?' Slowly, both Kiba and Ino turn their heads to each other with blinks.
"We'll should catch up other time." Naruto stood up with Aoi as they put the babies in the stroller, "We have a lot of things to do today like buying girls many clothes and other things. It's good to see you two."
"Bye, it's nice to meet you for a short time." Aoi waved to the ninjas kindly before the small family walk away from the bewildered ninjas.
"…Did he said his daughters?!" Ino screamed at Kiba, "And did he just call her his soulmate?! Are they girlfriend and boyfriend or are they married?!"
"I DON'T KNOW!" Kiba screamed back, "I'm surprised as fuck as you are!" They cried together at same time, "What the hell happened on this trip?!" He messed his hair up, "I don't get it! Naruto out of us all is too dense and hell, he's innocent to do the deal!"
"…Wait." The long-haired blonde paused, "He went on trip with Jiraiya…"
"Yeah?" The brunette raised his eyebrow and his partner just barked questioningly.
"Jiraiya is a big-time pervert and I heard some rumors that he's the writer of Icha Icha stories and will do anything nasty for his Icha Icha books." Ino said.
"…Wait, you don't think…" Kiba widened his eyes.
"Yes!" She hissed, "He tricked Naruto into sleeping with Aoi, maybe make them so drunk to get it on and wrote all about it! Then when Naruto found out that she's carrying his kids, he step up and take care of them while Jiraiya fucking around like an creepy idiot! Did you know that Sakura told me about how many time this guy stole Naruto's money to waste it on hookers?!"
"NO WAY!" The brunette gasped in disbelief, "Wait! Is that why they are trying to buy baby stuff because Jiraiya stole their money, which force them to live in poverty for the whole trip until they get here?!"
"What?" Ino blinked rapidly.
"Did you heard that Naruto telling Aoi it will take a lot of years to afford a family-sized apartment?" Kiba pointed out, "I have been at his apartment and it's small for one person! Not to mention that they said they need to buy a heap shit of baby stuff instead things for themselves!"
"That's right!" She gasped in realization, "The way Naruto and Aoi dressed, it look so out of fashion and cheap! They have to hide their money from this bastard!" She have tears running down her face, "Instead of keeping up with trend, this poor girl…She want to buy things for their babies…And Naruto, this poor guy…He still wore same orange outfit!"
"T-T-That Naruto…" Kiba refuse to admit that his lips was quivering as his dog whimpered, "He's a real man…A-A-A good man…Being good father to his kids by being there…"
"Oh!" The ninjas and ninken turned their heads at the voice to see Jiraiya jogging toward them, "I know you guys. You're the one that hang around with Naruto. Have you seen Naruto? I need him to…"
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Ino and Kiba jabbed their index fingers at the startled sennin before the brunette hollered loudly as Akamaru barked at the sage angrily, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET HIS MONEY THIS TIME!"
"What?!" Jiraiya cried, "I'm not going to take his money this time…"
"SEE?! HE JUST ADMITTED IT!" Ino sharply turned her head to Kiba, pointing at the sage. "HE FORCED NARUTO AND AOI TO STRUGGLING RAISE THEIR CHILDREN BY STEALING THEIR MONEY!"
"HE'S FUCKING WORST!" Kiba said to her as the dog kept barking at the sage before they stormed off, "Come on, let's get away from this disgusting bastard!"
"Agreed!" The blonde huffed, flipping the bewildered sage a bird over her shoulder as she plan to spread the word everywhere.
"…WHAT?!" Jiraiya shouted bewilderingly, "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"
As the new family get around the city, shopping and run into more familiar faces, the family were completely unaware of the growing rumors and respects from shinobi force and civilians while blaming the poor toad sage who was trying to prove his innocence to deaf ears. Right now, Naruto and Aoi were looking through some themed outfits for their daughters in another baby store. "Oh, this bear costume is so adorable." Aoi held a brown hooded footies up with both hands, "Do you think it'll look perfect on Jaajaa?"
"Yeah." Naruto agreed with a nod before he show her a green hooded footies, "What about this one? It's a toad one and I think it suit Nana."
"Aaah, that fit her so well!" The mother of twins nearly squeal out at the adorable outfits, "Let's buy them all!"
"Let's buy two of each." He chuckled as he select a large circular baby mat from the shelves and the smiling dragon nod her head rapidly. "Oh, did we buy a baby pen or…?"
"Ah." Aoi placed index finger on her chin as her gaze shift to the sleeping twin in stroller while she tried to recall her memory, "We have baby pen at home so there's no need to." The parents paid for everything on Naruto's part and they barely step out of the store with their children before Jiraiya appear in front of them with waving arms and crazed shout and Naruto actually raised his eyebrow oddly at the sight of growing mob behind the sage's back, he can see his friends along the mob. Why do they look so angry and disgust toward the toad sage?
"THERE YOU ARE, NARUTO, THERE YOU ARE!" Jiraiya ran toward the said genin, "PLEASE TELL THEM THESE KIDS ARE NOT YOURS! THAT GIRL IS NOT YOUR BRIDE! THEY THINK I…"
"Jaajaa and Nana are mine." Naruto cut him off, "They are Aoi's and my daughters and there is nothing you can convince me otherwise." He slip his arm around the dragon girl's shoulders to pull her into a side-hug, "And she's my soulmate."
"NO, THEY ARE NOT YOURS!" The toad sage cried, "SHE'S NOT YOUR WIFE!" He jabbed his finger furiously at the family, "LET'S TAKE A DNA TEST! DO THE DNA TEST! THAT WAY WE CAN PROVE IT'S A PRANK AND I'M INNOCENT!"
"DNA test?" The genin trade a glance with Aoi before he turn back to the sennin, "Okay, let's do it."
"It's a match." Tsunade glared at Jiraiya dirty in the hospital room in front of the mob as she handed the copies of result papers to Jiraiya and the parents. The toad sennin was so flabbergasted as he stare at the paper in his hands and his head whipped to his student with very perplexed expression.
"See?" Aoi smiled brightly at Naruto with puffed-up chest after they checked the result.
"Yeah, I see it." Naruto chuckled at her behavior, finding it very cute. 'Aoi said that the girls have my blood, something about soulmates and soul imprints but she's not great with details.' He noticed that the twins was starting to get a little fussy, "Oh, the girls are getting antsy. I think I see a diaper changing room back there."
"Think it's the diapers?" The blue-haired girl pushed the stroller with her soulmate away from the mob.
"Must be, we already feed them almost a hour ago." The blonde genin replied.
"…I CALL BULLSH…" Jiraiya wailed before his face meet Tsunade's fist, following by stomps from angry mob.
Poor, poor Jiraiya.
Aoi and Naruto will later become very confused about delivery of many gifts at their front door, ranging from baby stuff to 'wedding' gifts, but they decide to keep them since they assume it's welcome back gifts from Naruto's friends.
And that end the first chapter of SIHDF!
Naruto strangely accept his family almost right away. Maybe it's because his family just win him over with their cuteness. At same time, poor Jiraiya get attacked from everywhere over something that he have nothing to do with and the rumors.
What moments will we see from Naruto and his dragon family? What'll happen next? Let's find out in next chapter!
Anyway, I think that's all I can say for now. Thank you for your time to read it.
