Hey everyone. I'm sorry for not updating sooner. I got lazy and for a while I had writer's block. I know a lot of authors say this but now that it's summer I can write more. I appreciate every review. Criticism is welcome but please be nice. Oh and the names of my characters in bold signals that the story is going to I am switching to that characters story. So, I hope you like my new chapter and please review.

Kikyo

"Mommy, I get that you're friends with these people, but why do I have to be here? Couldn't I have stayed at Akira and Akari's house?" Kikyo asked her mom as they stood outside the impressive Uchiha compound. Mei sighed. "Kikyo, these people are great friends, not only to me, but your father as well. Fugaku was on the same gennin team as your father. Who knows, maybe he'll tell you stories about daddy when he was younger."

Kikyo's eyes brightened at the mention of her father. He was an Anbu and hardly ever home. She loved to learn anything new about him. "Really? Then what are we standing out here for? Lets go, go, go!" The enthusiastic five year old exclaimed as she attempted to pull her mom to the main house. Mei laughed at her daughter's sudden change in attitude. "They also have a son about your age. I believe his name is Sasuke." Mei told her daughter as she tapped her cheek with her index finger.

Kikyo stopped and turned to her mother. "Are you planning something?" She asked. Kikyo was naturally suspicious, much like her father, and always examined each possibility. Mei laughed nervously and scratched the back of her neck. "Of course not! I just think you should try to make more friends," She said.

"I have friends. I have Emiko, Akira, Akari, Akai, Rin, Kyo, Yumi, Suki, and Ino!" Kikyo mumbled.

"Didn't you punch Ino?"

"Yeah but it wasn't that hard!"

"Kikyo, they had to buy a new gate because you punched her straight through the old one and into a tree."

"Yeah, well, the gate was weak!"

"It was made of iron…"

"Okay, okay! I get it! People I punch don't count! Well, actually, if that's the case I'm friendless!" Kikyo laughed as her mom sweat dropped. "Violence is never the answer, Kikyo," Mei scolded her daughter. She could hear a mumbled 'you're a ninja. Isn't it always the answer?' Mei shook her head, wondering how Kikyo turned out to be so much like her father. After a little more walking, they were outside the Uchiha main house. Mei knocked on the door and it was opened moments later. Before she knew what was happening, Kikyo was pulled into a bone-crushing hug as a squeal reached her ears.

"Kikyo!" A woman with long blue-ish black hair squealed as she squeezed the poor five year old tighter.

"Random person!" Kikyo squealed as she hugged the woman back. "I'm Mikoto!" the woman said. "Psh… yeah, I knew that… ehehehe I was just… um… testing you! Yeah, that's it. Testing you! Yup!" Kikyo ranted. Mei rolled her eyes and explained to Kikyo that she didn't know Mikoto. The last time she had seen them was when Kikyo was a few months old. To which Kikyo insisted she knew and was testing everyone. Yep… just like her father. Mei was trying to figure out if it was a blessing or a curse.

Mikoto lead them into the house. In the living room, a little boy was playing with blocks as his older brother helped. "Sasuke, Itachi! Come here and meet our guests!" Mikoto called out. Itachi and Sasuke walked over to their mother. When Sasuke came into view, Kikyo giggled. The entire Uchiha family prayed that she wasn't another fan girl. "You're hair looks like a chicken's butt!" She kept giggling.

Mikoto and Fugaku sighed in relief; Itachi was torn between sweat dropping and laughing while Sasuke glared at her.

"Hn." Kikyo's eye twitched.

"That's not a word…" she said. Sasuke smirked.

"Hn," He said, amusement in his eyes.

"Stop saying that!" Kikyo said, her temper rising.

"Hn." Sasuke responded drawing out the sound.

"Say that one more time, Uchiha, and it'll be the last thing you ever say!" Kikyo threatened. Mikoto interrupted Sasuke as he started to speak.

"Lets sit down, I'm sure Fugaku would love to tell you some stories, Kikyo." Mikoto quickly mouthed the word Kaoru to the Uchiha and he nodded his head.

"So you wanna hear stories about your old man?" Fugaku asked as everyone sat down. Kikyo nodded her head like crazy.

"Your father is a great ninja. Quick thinking, fast, very precise and always seems to find away to counter everything, whether we are fighting or talking. He is also very loyal and team oriented. He once sacrificed himself for our squad. Gave himself up to the enemy in exchange for the team. But, your father does have his faults. His pride is one. He cant back away from a challenge," Fugaku chuckled.

"Our other teammate, Yuri, once dared him to drink expired milk mixed with hot sauce. He couldn't leave his house for a week he was so sick. Sensei scolded him as soon as he got back while his mom, supposedly, scolded him every day he was home. Your father also has a knack for exaggerating and has a way with words, very persuasive. He can talk himself out of almost any situation." He continued.

"I'll never forget the last mission we had together. It was to deliver a scroll to the land of lightening. It seemed easy enough but as we were setting up camp by a river we were ambushed. Enemy ninja from the land of snow wanted the scroll. They were rather sneaky and managed to sabotage our weapons. Our kunai sapped our energy. Kaoru managed convince them that we didn't have the scroll, we were just decoys. That took some form of skill. But, come to think of it, the ninja didn't seem too bright. But then again, Kaoru can convince an Anbu to jump off a cliff by telling them they are a bird." Fugaku had faintest smile on his face.

"You seem to be a lot like him. But, you've got your mothers eyes and temper," Mikoto said smiling.

"Hey! My temper isn't that bad!" Mei huffed. Mei and Mikoto argued about Mei's temper, Mei claiming it wasn't that bad while Mikoto proved her wrong. Kikyo, sensing that story time was over, walked over to Sasuke and Itachi. They had gone back to the blocks.

"Hey duck butt!" She greeted happily.

"I thought you said Sasuke's hair looked like a chicken's butt," Itachi asked even though he honestly didn't care what kind of poultry his younger brother's hair looked like. He just found the girl more entertaining than a bunch of blocks.

"Well, the way I see it, any bird's butt resembles Sasuke's hair!" Kikyo beamed.

Sasuke glared at her as she plopped down next to him. "Can we please get off the topic of my hair?" he grumbled.

Kikyo stroked her imaginary beard and seemed to ponder this deeply. Itachi had to stop himself from face palming. It was a good minute before Kikyo nodded happily.

"So…" She trailed off awkwardly. She put one hand on top of the other, wiggled her thumbs, and said, "Awkward turtle!"

Itachi raised an eyebrow while Sasuke rolled his eyes. The brothers proceeded to play with their blocks. Kikyo huffed indignantly as the brothers ignored her.

"So weasel, duck butt, do either of you have anything to contribute to this conversation?" Kikyo asked sweetly. She was answered by two Uchiha signature death glares.

"When did I earn the nickname weasel?" Itachi asked slightly annoyed.

"I thought we moved on from comparing me to poultry." Sasuke brooded.

Kikyo decided to ignore both Uchiha brothers as she happily played with their blocks.

"Kikyo! Time to go!" Mei said to her daughter as she walked up to the five year old. Kikyo nodded before quickly hugging both of the Uchiha brothers and skipping out the door. Once Mei and Kikyo were gone, Sasuke went up to the nearest mirror.

"My hair doesn't look like a duck's butt… does it?"

Mitsuki (Suki)

Suki fiddled nervously with the sleeves of her kimono. Sure she had worn a kimono for festivals in her home country, the land of snow, but never one as extravagant as the one she was currently wearing. For starters, it was silk. Now, one may wonder why a five year old is wearing a silk kimono. Well, Suki was being taken to the Hyuuga compound. She honestly didn't know why. All she knew was that they were a prestigious family.

Remembering why she was nervous in the first place, she gently fingered her dark purple obi-jime. Her kimono was a light lavender color with slightly darker butterflies on it. She had never met a Hyuuga and, to be honest, they sounded scary. She wanted to make a good first impression. Yes, she was only five but she was mature. She had to be. Her mother had died during a mission when Suki was three. Even though Suki still had her father, he still needed to go on missions. She needed to be independent.

"Mitsuki, are you ready yet?" her father called up the stairs. Suki quickly shuffled to her open door.

"Almost daddy. I'll be down in two minutes!" she yelled to her dad. She walked back into her room and pulled her hair into a slightly messy bun but keeping her bangs where they were. They almost went over her eyes. Grabbing two lavender hair chopsticks with bells hanging off the top ends by white strings, she put them in her bun.

Suki quickly scuffled down the stairs and put on her geta. Her dad smiled warmly at his daughter. She looked so much like her mother. If it weren't for her eyes, she would be a splitting image of her mother. She had the same long, chocolate brown hair as her mother did and the same facial features.

Grasping her father's hand, they made their way to the Hyuuga compound. Once they reached their destination, a few Hyuugas met them at the gate. Their eyes seemed cold. The iridescent lavender eyes that stared at her were unnerving. Suki cowered behind her dad. She vaguely wondered if they were blind. Their pupils were missing.

"Hatori-sama," the men bowed. Nope, not blind. Hatori nodded his head in acknowledgement. He hated formalities. Hatori and his daughter were lead to a garden. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, daisies were scattered around the garden and many other flowers filled the out door area.

Many other Hyuugas were in the garden. Suki looked around and noticed a young girl with dark blue, short hair and lavender tinted eyes. She was wearing a light pink kimono with a light orange obi-jime. She was gripping the sleeve of an older Hyuuga male who must have been her father. She looked nice, gentle. Her eyes were much warmer than those of her family.

As Suki glanced a little farther away, she saw a boy. He seemed to be trying to distance himself from the rest of the clan. He was definitely a Hyuuga, his eyes were a give away. He had a scowl on his face and looked… resentful… miserable…pissed off? She really wasn't sure. Even with the sour look on his face, Suki noticed he was kind of adorable. His long, coffee brown hair was in a ponytail and stood out against his pale skin and eyes. He had what looked like bandages wrapped around his fore head. Was he hurt? She glimpsed at the adults around the boy and noticed that they all had the bandages around their head.

"Daddy, who's that boy?" Suki asked quietly, shielding her mouth with her hand. Hatori smiled lightly.

"That's Neji," he said without trying to quiet his voice. Neji turned to her along with the other Hyuugas. Seeing that the attention was now focused on her, Suki blushed lightly.

"And the little girl is Hinata. She's your age while Neji is a year older than you." He continued. Suki nodded. Her father moved to talk to the man next to Hinata and silently urged Suki to talk to the little girl.

Swallowing her fears, Suki walked up to Hinata. Both girls seemed to stare at each other before erupting into a fit of giggles. Hinata and Suki introduced themselves.

"Do you want to play hide and seek? We can ask Neji to play as well. It'll be more fun that way," Suki asked. Hinata looked up to her father. He nodded his head and the two girls ran up to Neji.

"Hi! I'm Suki. Do you want to play hide and seek?" Suki asked smiling. Neji stared at her for a moment. Suki internally flinched under his scrutinizing gaze. She refused to show any fear so she continued to smile.

"Why…?" Neji asked after what seemed like hours. Suki's smile grew. At least he didn't say no.

"Well, it wouldn't be as much fun with only two people. It would be a game of tag instead of hide and seek tag. And," Suki smiled warmly at the boy, "I want to be friends!"

Suki reached out, grabbed Neji's hand, and led him to an open area in the garden as Hinata followed behind them. She turned around to face him and smiled mischievously.

"You're it," She giggled. Darting behind him, Suki grabbed Hinata's hand and dragged her to a super secret hiding spot… okay, so it was a bush. Hiding behind it, they saw Neji walk past their bush. He paused in front of it for a moment and both girls held their breath. Neji turned and walked towards the cherry blossom trees. Suki sighed in relief while Hinata looked a little confused.

"Suki," Hinata started, "Wouldn't it have been smarter to hide in different areas? That way, if he found one of us, the other could lead him in the wrong direction."

Suki shrugged and opened her mouth to speak when Neji appeared right behind Hinata. Squeaking, Suki quickly pulled Hinata out of the bush and pushed her in front of her. Suki yelped quietly as she felt two arms wrap around her stomach and pull her from Hinata.

"I got you!" Neji beamed as he let go of Suki. The girls simply smiled at him before reminding him that he hadn't gotten Hinata. Neji had begun to tell her he would look for Hinata when Hatori called out to his daughter.

"It's time to go home, Suki," he called out. Hinata popped out of a bush and pouted. Suki walked over to her and hugged her tight.

"It's okay. We can play again some other time," Suki promised.

"Soon?" Hinata asked. Suki nodded her head and let go of Hinata. Suki walked over to Neji and hugged him as well.

"Will you come play with me?" He asked quietly.

Suki smiled brightly and nodded her head yes. She quickly walked over to her father. After bowing and thanking the head of the Hyuuga clan, the father and daughter left the compound. The Hyuugas dispersed and Neji's thoughts continued to drift back to the little girl with large gray eyes. He couldn't wait to play with her again.
