I don't own naruto.
Ino wore a dark purple dress, a sparkling diamond necklace handing delicately around her long neck. She jumped down the stairs, caught by Sasuke's strong arms immediately, and she stared at him in his Anbu uniform. "It's only going to take you a few hours for your mission right?" she asked, sliding a finger down his jaw line.
"Yep, and then I'll be right back," he simply answered, holding his wife elegantly in his arms.
The blonde giggled. "Then you won't mind to stay for dinner with Itachi and his new girlfriend." and at that exact moment, the doorbell gave a chime, ignoring all of Sasuke's requests to get out of the plan.
She swung the door open, immediately seeing her fifteen year old son, towering over her height already. Her blue eyes then caught the eyes of a girl clutching onto his arm, her knuckles weight and her knees shaking.
"Um …Mom, this is Ayaka, my girlfriend." with that sudden introduction, Ino's eyes brightened at the girl.
"Ayaka? Is that your name?" she held a hand out to the shy girl behind Itachi. She immediately stared into pale pupil-less eyes. "Oh, a Hyuuga?"
Itachi nodded. "Her mother is a Hyuuga, but her father abandoned her early so…" he didn't say the rest, but he walked into the house, holding Ayaka's hand softly. He bent closer to her ear, whispering a few words before her hold on his arm loosened, giving Itachi a much calmer expression.
She said a few words back. Itachi gave a short chuckle before looking at his parents. "She didn't know my parents were the top anbu of Konoha."
"Hm? How can she not? Oh …unless she never saw Sasuke without his mask on, since well, he always has his on…" Ino looked back at her husband, staring at the mask he wore before pulling it to the side of his face so that it revealed the handsome face beneath it.
He immediately glared down at Ayaka. "Dad, stop glaring at her." the two looked the same but there were differences. Itachi had a much calmer look to his face, a softer tone, and his aura wasn't as strong. Sasuke's aura gave out a powerful and strong feeling, but his face had a stern look, sometimes emotionless, and his hair was a hint darker than his son.
Sasuke turned around, sitting at the table just as Ino tapped his shoulder. "Help me with the food," she said, immediately wrapping her arms around his neck as he got up, planting a kiss on his lips.
"Not in front of us," Itachi said, pulling a chair out for his girlfriend.
"Oh please, this is normal, don't tell me you both haven't kissed yet." Ino pulled at Sasuke's mask, leading him into the kitchen.
Itachi looked at his girlfriend. "We don't have to kiss if you're not romantically developed yet," he stated, looking at her face for some kind of expression.
Ino returned immediately, her hair flowing behind her, along with several dishes floating around her, and with a point of her finger, they seated themselves on the table. She clapped her hands childishly. "Ayaka is such a pretty name! It means "colorful flower" so pretty! I was going to name out daughter that," she stated, crossing her arms as she looked at Sasuke.
"We were going to name the girl Mikoto and if it was a boy, it was going to be Itachi."
"That wasn't fair!" Ino shouted, crossing her arms across her chest. Her eyes made contact with Ayaka, and she reached over, touching Ayaka's long hair gently. "You have such pretty hair," she said, staring at the dark locks.
"Sorry, my parents are a bit …weird when it comes to things like this because, their parents never did it with them," Itachi said, looking away from his parents at the same time.
"You're right, my mommy was never around to begin with and daddy wasn't that well with …Sasuke." Ino gave Ayaka a smile, and she gave a small and uncertain smile back.
~'.~'.~'.~'.~
Already late at night, Itachi and Ayaka roamed the halls of the manor of the Uchiha clan. "It's late, do you want me to walk you home? What am I asking, I'll walk you home." he rolled his dark eyes at his own stupidity, walking to his parent's room, making sure to keep his girlfriend behind him at all times.
"Father? Are you awake?" he knocked on the door twice, hearing his father's grunt before opening the door. "I know I have to train with you tomorrow, but can I walk Ayaka home first?"
Ino stirred in the bed, feeling on the warm spot beside her to feel no body at all. "Sasuke," she began, getting up from the bed. Her blonde hair wavered to the side, before she could open her eyes, Sasuke turned around.
"Go back to bed, Ino. I'll be there," he stated, turning his attention back to his son. "Make it quick, I need you to wake up early because we're training much earlier than I usually want to." he turned back to the bed, slipping under the covers. "Close the door, Itachi," he said, just as his son turned away.
His son nearly bowed to his father's tone. "Yes, Father," he responded, closing the door behind him.
~'.~'.~'.~'.~
Sunlight radiated from the window and onto the couple lying on the large bed together. The more muscular larger form woke up first, looking at the beauty in her undergarments slowly before slipping her robe on for her, tying the robe around her waist gently. Sasuke leaned over the bed, staring at his wife that laid peacefully, angelically on the bed.
With a smile and a low grunt, he pushed himself off the bed, grabbing his t-shirt in the process surprised that Ino wasn't holding it like she usually did. Sasuke walked out of the bathroom slowly a half an hour later, walking around to bed to see Ino's back, her hair tumbling over her shoulders in gentle waves, her skin nearly glowing from the sunshine, and her body looking perfect in comparison to the rest of her characteristics.
For an unknown reason, his stomach flipped several times after he looked at Ino. He dug a hand under her head, moving it slowly. "Ino, wake up," he said gently, touching the silkiness of her hair as she moved slightly.
"It's morning already?" she asked, turning her body to smile at him, and she stretched her hands out, wrapping them around Sasuke's neck as he picked her up, swinging her around before setting her back on the door.
She wrapped her arms around his body, looking up as his face before giving his lips a small peck. "Out in twenty minutes." she smiled at him, holding a hand out.
Correctly on time, she walked out of the bathroom, her hair looking even silkier than she had walked in. She wore a tank-top like shirt that showed off her flat stomach, and a bottom that ended a little above her knee tightly.
Ino moved her bangs aside, staring at the extra visitors in the bedroom. "Shino …Sai, what are you doing here?" she threw her door toward the bed, sitting elegantly on it, holding Sasuke's hand.
"Some of the sand's rogue ninja were seen attacking a town nearby, Sasuke is sent out to help the east side of the town," Shino answered, his eyes trailing to the hand that Ino clenched even harder.
Sasuke nodded beside Ino, reaching for his uniform that laid neatly down on their bed and as he reached for it, Ino pulled a hand back. "Sasuke, at least let me go with you…"
"They have a jutsu that apparently, can only affect women, I advise you not to go. Oh yes, and we will be borrowing Itachi too," Sai added, giving her a smile.
Ino rose from the bed, only to be pushed back forcefully by Sasuke himself. "No, you are not taking Itachi too!"
Sasuke gave a stern look to Ino. "Ino, Itachi isn't going to get injured, he's a strong, capable shinobi that can take care of himself. You don't have to worry about him." just as Ino was about to speak, he silenced her easily a stern look.
He walked into the bathroom for a few seconds, walking back out to strap his katana to his back, strapping his mask on. At that moment, Itachi chose to walk in, Inoichi beside him, rubbing his eyes. "I'll be back, Ino," Sasuke said, moving his mask slightly to kiss Ino's lips softly before gesturing at his son, jumping out of the window with Shino and Sai.
"Mommy?" a ten year old Inoichi asked, and he ran into his mother's arms when she held them open. Ino pulled her son away, staring at his sleepy face as she pushed his longs bangs back. "Itachi woke me up…" he muttered.
Ino nearly wanted to coo at the child, at how childish he was about his sleeping time. "Darling, sleep on Mommy's bed if you're so tired, I don't want to make you walk back to your room." she kissed the top of his head, lightly playing with his short strands before she touched the back of his neck, where his hair was cropped short, then at the long bangs that she had allowed him to grow out long.
By the end of each night, Sasuke would sit on their bed, thinking and wondering when Inoichi was going to finally activate his sharigan, but that night, he didn't return so early.
Inoichi and Ino both sat at the kitchen table past the time they would usually sleep, just wondering for the rest of the family to come back. The door immediately slammed open loudly and Ino immediately jumped up, no one slammed doors open as loud as Sasuke.
Her youngest son jumped up, running toward the front door as Ino did the same. The rain poured outside and both of the Uchihas tracked dirt and mud into the house, Ino stared bitterly at the mud before walking over to Itachi, checking for any wounds before quickly healing them.
Sasuke held his arm out to Inoichi where a long sleek wound of a katana was made and his youngest son immediately raised his hands for a few seconds before a dark green grew over his hands, slowly healing the injury of Sasuke's. "You're getting good at healing, Inoichi," Sasuke commented, smiling when he returned a small one.
Ino waved her hands. "Both of you stink of sweat! Take a bath right now!" she stomped her feet, pointing up the steps. "Dinner will be ready when you're back down."
"We're gone for a whole day and this is our welcoming?" Sasuke mumbled, walking up the steps slowly.
Behind him, his elder son snorted. "I know right."
"Inoichi, do you want to help me with dinner?" she looked to the side to see Inoichi sitting on the floor, his eyes nearly half-closed and his legs crisscrossed. "Oh dear, let me put you in bed, Sweetie."
She picked him up gently, putting him in his bed a few minutes later, pushing his long bangs to the side to kiss his forehead clearly. "Goodnight," she whispered, not expecting an answer.
As she turned around, she heard him say, "Goodnight…" and his breathing evened out, obviously showing that he was asleep.
The moment Itachi and Sasuke had walked back down the steps, Ino was asleep, not even waking up when the oven was in smoke and Itachi immediately made fast hand seals, watering the fire out. Sasuke pulled the main dish from the oven, staring at how black the chicken was. Ino woke up slowly and when her eyes finally laid onto the burnt dinner, her eyes became watery with stress.
"It's not that bad if you take the skin off," Itachi said, trying his best to make his mother feel better and to prove it, he peeled the skin away, taking a knife to put a piece of the meat into his mouth, nodding with approval.
Sasuke gave his son a look for him to stop his desperate helping and he slowly helped Ino up, wiping the bottom of her eyes to check for any tears before he whispered some words into her ear softly, leading her up to their bedroom.
A few minutes he walked back down. "You really can't help it but to make things worse, can you?" he shook his head.
"What did I do?"
"You have a lot to learn," Sasuke stated.
~'.~'.~'.~'.~
The entire Uchiha family was in the Yamanaka Flower Shop that evening, a revenge that Ino had planned in return for Sasuke and Itachi leaving the other time. Inoichi, however, didn't particularly mind being in the flower shop.
Sasuke stood behind the counter. "Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower Shop," he said emotionlessly each time as a customer walked in. Inoichi gathered the flowers, giving them to Itachi, who wrapped them neatly before giving them to his father, who simply just collected the money.
Ino walked in on the second he finished his sentence. Her eyes shown a beautiful blue color and she walked toward the table, pushing the money on the counter aside before sitting on it. "I got a haircut," she said, "How do I look?" Of course, to her definition of haircut was simply a few inches off the ends, she looked the same.
"Mom, you look the same," Itachi said, speaking first. Ino huffed, crossing her arms angrily. "What did I say?"
Shaking his head, Sasuke held his arms out. "You look beautiful, Ino." Ino squealed, immediately hugging him back, from behind, Sasuke gave Itachi a knowing smile. "By the way, can I go to the hokage tower now?" he asked, uncertain of Ino's reaction.
Ino stared at him. "Are you that desperate to get away from me?" her eyes shocked at how eager he wanted to leave the family.
"No, it's just that, if I go on more missions, the income is …better." He didn't look at his sons behind him. "It'll be fast, Ino. Just one mission."
The look on his face made her emotion calm down a bit. "Fine…" she said, defeated and then she tip-toed, kissing his lips. "You'll be back soon? Don't go on S-rank missions too much." Easily he nodded, kissing her back before grabbing his jacket and leaving.
At that moment, the bell rang. "Welcome to Yamanaka's Flower Shop," Ino said, turning around to see the old woman she had been wanting to see the entire day. "Nekobaa, you want those flowers for Tamaki, right?" she leaned over the counter before she walked toward several flowers to the side of the room, picking them before wrapping them up slowly.
"You remembered," she said, smiling. "Inoichi, Hina just got some kittens this week, she's willing to give one to you since you're always visiting."
Mysteriously, she reached into her pocket, pulling a dark small kitten out, setting it into Inoichi's waiting hands. Inoichi's eyes widened, displaying an emotion really showed on the Uchiha's face. "Can I keep him, Mom?" he walked over to the counter, placing the kitten down gently, touching its smooth tail gently as it walked around on the table.
"Of course," Ino said, smiling at the small creature. "He's going to grow up into a strong ninja cat, won't he? Remember to keep to your genin schedule though."
Inoichi nodded eagerly, staring at the kitten as it walked up to him on the counter, putting its paw to his forehead, mewing slightly, before he jumped swiftly on the top of his head.
Just as Nekobaa was about to place money down onto the counter, Ino pushed her hand back. "You've already given Inoichi a kitten, besides, it's Tamaki's birthday, you don't have to pay," she said, smiling kindly as she handed the flowers back.
"I insist," she said, smiling, and just as she placed the money onto the counter, the bell by the door rang, and she waved outside the door, slowly walking off again.
Ino shook her head. "Sneaky," she commented, pushing the money into the apron she had tied around her neck. "Oh yes, have you heard of the immortal prince coming to Konoha tomorrow? He's looking for a new wife, sweet isn't it?"
Picking up a watering can, she added, "Take a day off tomorrow, I want to go on a family picnic. Itachi, you're giving too much water." walking over to her son, she took the watering can from his hand, placing hers down.
I love writing all this stuff, anyway, I think it's good... semi anyway.
