Second chapter! Sorry the first few are abit short, I'm a bit rusty when it comes to writing. Enjoy!
"You know I should sue."
"For what?" He was being such a big baby, sure he may have grazed his head on the hard wood floor. But I apologised... while eating a nice hot bowl of ramen.
"Well firstly breaking into my home." came the calm reply across the kitchen. He leaned against the counter dressed in sweat pants, vest top and his signature mask covering the lower half of his face. I sighed placing the empty bowl in the sink.
"Actually Mr Hatake I think you'll find you gave me a key so technically I didn't break in. I simply walked in." I said, hands on hips, staring at him amused. He laughed slightly and shook his head. I guess he has gotten used to my sudden appearances. Like with Kito, Hatake Kakashi is one of my oldest and most dearest friends, although I'd never admit it. It's this damn Uchiha pride, gets the best of me when it comes to stuff like that. It's the main reason I've never really been into dating. I quickly washed up my bowl and chop sticks, then strolled over the couch and sat down. Kakashi followed behind and sat on the other side looking back at me.
"So how'd the mission go?" My face fell and my eyes hardened. I tried to block out that I had lost 3 members of my squad but I can't lie to Kakashi. I can't say it went well, he'll call me out on it every time.
"Could've been better. Lost 3 guys, Jiro, Akira and Misomi. We still retrieved the scroll, but at a high cost." I replied in barely a whisper, when it came to the loss of friends or comrades it always hit me hard. I turned away from him so he couldn't see my face. It was a dead give away to how I was feeling.
Stupid Riku, your face betrays you every time. No wonder they died.
Shut the hell up..
Kakashi moved a bit closer placing a warm hand on my shoulder. He said nothing but just gave me a reassuring look. He knew words wouldn't make me feel any better, that's one thing I love about him. He doesn't waste breath when it isn't needed. After sitting in the silence for about an hour I decided I would let him get some rest. He gets a new team tomorrow. Which I'm actually excited for mainly because he's teaching my youngest brother Sasuke. Maybe he'll be able to get him to come out of his moody, dark shell he's lived in for so long. Well you can always dream ne?
"I'll let you get back to sleep, I think I need to get some as well. Thanks for being there for me once again. Night puppy!" I say opening the window to jump out. He gave a small nod and off I went. I call him puppy occasionally because of how many dogs he actually has. Seriously, he just loves dogs. Jumping from roof to roof, I took in my surroundings. I will always think Konoha is beautiful no matter how long I live here. Just the atmosphere alone is so...peaceful. I knew that wouldn't be the case when I get home. Ever since that day, Sasuke lives with a permanent rain cloud above his head. It's both saddening and frankly fucking annoying half the time. I've all but given up on trying to be a sister to him.
Creek. Creek. God damn old floor boards. Why did they have to be so loud? At this rate I'll end up waking up little miss sunshine. Only 3 more feet till my room.
"What kind of ANBU can't get into her own house without making noise? Baka." I spoke to soon. I turned to see Sasuke standing in the door way, arms folded and smirking. Any emotion left my face as I looked to his eyes. Still so empty.
They look so similar to his..like father like son.
"Shouldn't you be in bed tiny genin? Big day tomorrow with your new sensei, he won't go easy on you like I would." I say returning the same Uchiha smirk. His cool appearance faltered just for a moment but that was enough for me to notice. He grumbled some incoherent words and returned to his 'man cave'. I chuckled to myself and walked into my room closing the door behind me. I threw off my gear and changed into pj's flopping onto the mattress. It felt so good to be home. I've been away for longer before but in my 'old age' as I like to put it, this mission felt like it went on forever. Maybe I shouldn't of moved back up to ANBU, stayed a Jounin and trained a team this year? It's too late now anyway so I'll just have to stay put.
Or tomorrow I can tag along with my brother and meet his team. I think I may do that. Besides I love to embarrass Sasuke and my bet is he'll have at least one of his many fan girls on his team. Time to break out the baby pictures, this was going to be very fun. I crawled under the covers of my bed and fell quickly into a deep sleep.
I tiptoed through the corridors of the Uchiha estate, a hand placed on my heavily pregnant belly. I didn't want to wake the others, two of the important men in my life, my husband and eldest son had been out on missions the night before and came home completely exhausted. I told them not to over do it but they are just as stubborn as I am. I chuckled to myself as I walked past the koi pond and to the main house's kitchen. Being the good woman I got to work on making them a decent breakfast, heavens know they'll be off again today. He gets it from his father I think. I place all the necessities out on the table then start on the clean up.
Before I can finish two strong arms appear around my bloated waist. It's his handy work so he can't complain. I laugh at him and turn in his arms to face him. A smile appears on his face, I can see it clear as day and my, its a beautiful sight. Leaning in to kiss him, I hear a cough in the door way. We look to see our 8 year old son, newly graduated genin staring at us with a fake 'sick' face. I'm guessing he doesn't appreciate the display of affection.
"Guys that's gross you're old! Besides one of you has to go get Tamaki and Kira they won't listen to me and come get breakfast." He said walking over to the table and sitting with a piece of toast ready to eat. I sighed and nodded breaking the hold my love had on me. I waddled down to 'the barracks' as I called them and found the two younger children playing go.
"Come on you two listen to onii-san, breakfast is ready. Come before it gets cold." I say laughing at the children's faces when they look to me. I think I made them jump.
"okay okasan, come on Kira!" My youngest son said jumping up and pulling his little sister with him. The skipped past me and I followed behind at a gentle pace. I reached the kitchen to see the most beautiful sight. My family. The people most precious to me, all sat together smiling and cheerful. A mix of black and white hair in the room. Guess both of our gene's try to be dominant. He was beating me at the moment 3-2 but we'll see how the next one turns out ne?
I woke up with a sudden thump falling sideways out of the covers. Well that was an interesting dream wasn't it? I shook it off and went to shower and dress before his Lordship awoke and used up all the hot water. I strolled back to my room and dressed in my casual outfit. Black knee length ninja sandals, white shorts with a kunai holster attached, white vest top and a loose black one sleeved top over it. Of course with the Uchiha symbol on the back. The final piece my headband, the same one I was given at age 6 when I graduated. I tied it to my thigh and went off to the kitchen only to be greeted by a lovely noise. Sasuke. Screaming like a little girl. I think I may have used all of the hot water. Guess a cold shower isn't as nice as I thought it would be. I laughed to myself as I made a few pieces of toast, that dream still in my mind. I hadn't even notice princess come into the kitchen until he slammed the milk on the table.
"That wasn't funny." He said darkly, I started to laugh once again. He still thinks he can intimidate me? It's been like this since we were younger, very amusing if I may say so myself.
"What wasn't?" I replied dumbly. I loved to wind him up, it brightens my day.
"You know what! Can't you just go away on a mission and not come back?" Now this I didn't find funny. I was the only family he had left and his elder.
"Shut the hell up Sasuke, treat your elders with respect and maybe they'll return the favour. Learn to hold your tongue or I'll make sure you don't have one." Now that shut him up, I don't like to threaten him but I absolutely cannot stand his 'holier then thou' attitude. I threw him the cereal box and a bowl and sat down at the table across from him. I knew I should say 'I'm coming along with you to your first training session, you have no choice in it.' but I'll let it be a surprise. I quickly finished my toast and put the plate in the sink.
"I'm off now Sasuke, I'll see you later." I called walking to the door, he made a quiet reply and carried on with his breakfast. I walked out the door and towards Kakashi's once again. I had to tell someone I was going to be making an appearance right?
Second chapter, hope you liked it. I loved writing that little dream scene. Tehe ^_^ next one should be up soon! x
