Chapter 11

Dear diary,

Hello, it's me, Ruby. It's been quite a while since I've written in this thing, four or so years I think.

A lot of things have happened since we last wrote. I mean, I know it's only natural, but still.

I just turned twenty-three yesterday, and Naruto's turned twenty-five a couple of days ago. He gave me a beautiful rose pendant, and Crescent gave me a bouquet of flowers, thoughtful girl that she is.

For the past few years, the three of us have been traveling around Remnant (and sometimes the Elemental Nations), seeing the sights and all that business.

Though, we decided we'd settle down a couple of days ago for the sake of settling down, and we just bought a plot of land in Patch so that we'd be close to my parents. We're also settling down for the little guy in me, though Naruto doesn't know that. That little fact's gonna be a surprise for Naruto after we've settled in.

Anyway, just last week we went to Menagerie for Yang and Blake's wedding. My whole family, team RWBY and JNPR were there. Even Menma and Cinder!

Oh yeah! Fun fact; Apparently, Menma's not a normal shadow clone. She not even one! She's, apparently, actually a pseudo-tailed beast of some sort. Like, some of the powers, none of the invulnerability. So thank maker she's not immortal!

Anyway, back to topic. The two of them were suspiciously close during the whole ceremony. I think Cinder's a masochist or something. Then again, it's not my busin-

o-o-o-o

"Maaaa! Jacky's reading your diary! Again!" A girl's voice called out. She had short, yellow hair, and purple eyes, looking very much like a certain blonde dragoness did back in her youth, with only the fact that she has three whisker marks on each cheek, differentiating her from her aunt. She was wearing a black tank top and red shorts

"Was not! Angy's lying!" Retorted an identical voice. Her appearance, though, couldn't be anymore different. While the other girl had blonde hair, she had silver hair, one she got from her father's vast gene pool. She also has silver eyes, though wether it was just coloration or like her mother's special eyes was still unknown. The only thing that would have people associate them with each other were their shared whisker marks. Well, that, and the fact that they always wear the same type of clothes.

Anyway, back to two arguing children.

"No I wasn't! You're the one who's lying!"

"Am not!"

"Am so!"

"Am not!"

"A-"

"Girls..." an eerie voice called out. Her tone, quiet as it was, was drowning the noise coming from the television from behind her, "Didn't I say not to fight with each other?"

"Yeah..." "Mmhm..."

Were the answers of the two little girls, theirs eyes glued to their shuffling feet.

"Now, Jacky. Give me that diary," She said, right hand stretched with the other resting on her hips.

"Here," the silverette grumbled, handing their mother the diary.

The woman then eyed the two girls in front of her, before her eyes softened and a smile graced her lips, "Why don't you two play outside for a while. Only for a while though."

"You're the best, Ma!" One of the girls, Angy, said.

"Yeah! You're the best, Ma!" The other, Jacky, exclaimed, before proceeding to run outside with her twin.

'Hmhm, my cute little angels,' The woman thought with a small smile. With her short, dark red hair, silver eyes, and pale skin (despite any and all attempts at tanning), one could easily identify this woman as none other than Ruby Rose-Uzumaki. The now-thirty-five years old woman was wearing a blood red, long-sleeved turtleneck, black jeans, and black socks (which she'd normally pair with black combat boots), with her old belt around her hips. Aside from the belt, the only other accessory from her previous outfit that she was still using was her black and red cape (there's also her now-completely-weaponized Crimson Maiden Suit, which is currently stashed in her and Naruto's room). Though, it wasn't only her clothes that changed, but also her looks. Ruby, throughout the years, went from five feet and two inches, to five feet and nine inches, and her bust size increasing a cup or two because of pregnancy.

Ah, pregnancy. She now went through two of those, and is a happy mother to three more daughters. One a blue eyed, red haired fifteen year-old (who'll be home later tonight), with the twins eight. Those were hard times, but she enjoyed every minute of it with her husba-

"-nd it looks like the stalemate between Fiore Rose-Uzumaki and Thyia Arc continues! What a display of skills, folks! Looks like we'll ha-" The television cut her thoughts, so she cut it off too. Not literally, of course. But still...

'Another tie against Pyrrha and Jaune's daughter?' She mused, setting down the remote and sitting down on a nearby chair, with the small smile from before getting bigger, 'Again? My oh my, such skilled little girls.'

She relaxed in her seat, eyes closed and arms crossed, and simply enjoyed the very rare peace and quiet.

o-o-o-o

Outside the house...

"Hey, hey, bet'cha can't do this," Jacky, or rather, Jacquelyn Rose-Uzumaki, told her twin, before performing a handstand.

"Ha! Bet'cha I can!" The other, Angy, or Evangeline Rose-Uzumaki responded, copying what her technically younger sister did, before smiling proudly, "Ha! Told ya I can!"

Before Jacky could retort, a hand suddenly grabbed them by the ankles, making them gasp in surprise, and lifted them off the ground, the two of them hanging limply.

"Is Dad inside?" Their 'assailant' asked, spinning them so that they could face them.

The young woman, for they were definitely of the fairer sex, had straight long hair the color of red, with the ends curling outwards, giving it the appearance of a flower. She stood at five feet and five inches, has bluish-silver eyes and pale skin, with whisker marks adorning her cheeks. She was wearing her family's color; black tank top, red jacket with burnt-orange trim, red ankle-length pants, and yellow boots, with a short sword at either side of her hips. On each shoulder were her parents' symbols, while hers, a plain crescent moon with a circle surrounding it, was on her tank top in the color silver, right above where her heart would be. Her name's Crescent Rose-Uzumaki, twenty years of age, daughter of a god (Though some would say THE God) and a Huntswoman, goddaughter of a snake sage slash former dictator, twin short sword expert, Huntswoman, and finally, former gynoid.

See, when she was reaching her tenth year of age, she was approached by her parents. They said that her coming into existence wasn't much of a planned, which she already knew, and weren't truly expecting her level of emotions and awareness, weren't expecting her to be so... human. Back then, the fact that they gave sentience to a weapon only made them proud. After a few years though, that pride was accompanied by another emotion. Guilt. Guilty in the fact that they know that she'll never truly experience what being a human is, no matter how life-like she is, and the fact that they burdened her with practical immortality. So, in the same day, her father asked if she wanted to be a real human or not. Needless to say, she didn't decline the offer.

"Nuh-uh, Pa's not home yet." "Pa's still not home."

The twins responded, both still hanging from their ankles. From their position, they noticed an orange haired individual behind their twenty year old sister, one who they're both familiar with.

"Hello, Miss Polendina!" "Hello, Miss Polendina!"

The twins greeted in sync, waving merrily at their guest from their hanging position.

"Salutations, progenies of Lord Naruto and Lady Ruby. It is nice to see you both once again," Penny greeted back enthusiastically, stepping out of Crescent's shadow. Literally of course. She then turned her attention away from the twins and towards the garden, "You have such a lovely garden."

"Thank you," Crescent replied through a wry smile, her thoughts were along the lines of; 'You always say that'. Freeing her mind from distracting thoughts, she walked towards the front door and invited the orangette in, though not before freeing the two little girls from her hold, "Let's wait inside. Dad'll probably take a while."

The two then went inside, leaving a younger pair outside. They were grinning toothy grins while eying a tree.

"Hey, hey. Bet'cha can't climb that tree faster than me!"

"Ha! Bet'cha I can!"

o-o-o-o

Later... Late Evening...

"I'm home!" A voice called out, "Sorry I'm late. Menma held-Penny? What're you doing here?"

The speaker, upon walking into the living room, was revealed to be a thirty-seven year old Naruto Rose-Uzumaki. Twenty years after, his attire changed. Drastically. His former go-to cloak-bodysuit combo was now replaced by a much simpler blood-red, long-sleeved t-shirt, and black pants, with his ever present whisker marks, his tails swaying lazily behind him, his pair of horns gleaming proudly atop his head, and his ever-activated ocular bloodline. Aside from those four familiar traits, nearly everything else changed about him; his body, which was already defined ever since he was sixteen, lost what little remained of unneeded fat; his height which now grew up to six feet and five inches: and finally, his hair, which reached his buttocks when he was seventeen, was now cut short, reaching only down to his shoulders. Though it was still unkempt and kept it's vibrant sunshine-yellow color.

Needless to say, he attracts the eyes of teenage girls like a brothel attracts Jiraiya.

"Greetings, Lord Naruto!" Penny started of, coming to a stand from her sitting position at the couch, "It's very nice to see you!"

"Yeah. It's, ah, nice to see you too," He replied back, left hand scratching at the side of his jaw, and eyes roaming the room. He spotted three more familiar faces, one being his wife for twenty years, and the two his daughters.

"Hey Dad," waved Crescent lazily at her father with a grin from her position in the couch, with the other girl, one Fiore Rose-Uzumaki (Who's currently wearing her Grimm hunting ensemble; Red tank top, grey, sleeveless hoodie, and white pants, with a rifle-halberd beside her) copying her actions.

"Hello, Papa," ah, Ruby and Naruto never did knew where she got that accent from. Maybe it's from watching a movie? From a game? Who knows, right?

"Hey hun," Ruby greeted him with a small smile. She was currently seated at another couch all by herself, "The twins're upstairs, sleeping."

After returning the three's greetings, Naruto then took a seat beside Ruby, letting her rest her head on his lap, before turning his attention to the now-seated Penny, "Finally decided you wanna be human?" He asked, jokingly of course, expecting a refusal from the gynoid. Which, of course, meant her answer floored him somewhat.

"Yes, actually," She started out with her usual chirpy tone, before suddenly gaining a shy blush, "If it's not much trouble, that is..."

Despite the unexpected answer, Naruto nonetheless smiled reassuringly at the ginger, "No, it's no trouble at all. Though, what about your, ah, position in the army?"

Understanding at what he's getting at, she merely blinked and smiled. She was, after all was said and done, technically the property of the Atlas Army. A weapon, so to speak. Which is exactly the reason as to why she refused his previous proposal in the first place, because she can't. Though, that was back then... "Ah, General Schnee decided to dismiss me from the ranks. Though, her reasons were unclear. I don't even think they have a replacement for me! Nonetheless, I am very thankful for her actions, for I now have a chance to perform and experience human activities. Such as eating, sleeping, dreaming, and bathing! Also masturbating! Which, from what I am told by friend Crescent, is very pleasurable!"

Glancing at his wide-eyed daughters (one who's looking at the eldest, while said eldest was blushing slightly), and sharing a look with his wife, Naruto wiped the surprised look on his face and exchanged it for a happy grin, "That's nice of Winter. I'm glad for you. Now, It's quite late, and even though the procedure won't last too long, I think it'd be better if you bunk with Crescent for the night, yeah? And she can teach you about anything you'd like to know."

"Including masturbating?" Penny asked, her happy, inquiring tone in contrast with Crescent's flushed yet dumbfounded expression.

"Yes, that too," Naruto confirmed, glancing at Crescent with amused eyes, with Ruby and Fiore doing the same. He then stood up, Ruby standing up with him, and walked out of the living room, beckoning Penny to follow, "C'mon. The sooner we start, the sooner we'll finish."

Midnight...

o-o-o-o

Hey diary, it's Naruto

Wow, It's been so long now since my last entry. A couple of years, I believe. Three or so, I think.

Anyway, I have so much to write about.

It's been four and a half years since Ruby's graduation, and Crescent, Ruby and I've been traveling ever since, visiting friends and the like every chance we get. We make sure we visit on special occasions, though. Like, say, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etcetera.

Speaking of; Nora and Ren, they got married just a year or so ago, with Nora taking up Ren's surname. Here I was thinking Jaune and Pyrrha'd be the ones who'd get married first.

Anyway, the three of u-

o-o-o-o

"Maaaaa! Jacky's reading your diary! Again!" Guess who that is.

Before Jacquelyn could retort (scream back, really), a bright flash suddenly shone in their room, "Again? Seriously, if you wanted a diary, you should've just asked, princess."

"Papa!" Evangeline enthusiastically greeted her father, tackling him with a hug.

"I don' want a diary," Jacquelyn pouted, but nonetheless greeted Naruto with a hug as well.

"You two should be sleeping now. It's late, and everyone's already dozing off," Naruto admonished the two girls softly, returning their hug while looking pointedly at Jacquelyn, before shifting his gaze to Evangeline, who was about to point her little fingers at her silverette twin.

With childish reluctance, the twins released their hold on their father and climbed their shared bed, with Naruto tucking them in and kissing their forehead, "Goodnight, girls. Love you two."

"G'night, Pa. Love you too." "G'night, Pa. Love you too."

o-o-o-o

Master Bedroom...

Ruby, who was currently sitting on the side if the bed, brushing her short red hair, felt the mattress shift under a familiar weight, "Why that girl likes reading our diary, I'll never know."

Setting down the brush on the bedside drawer, Ruby lied down aside her husband, her back against his chest, "I think she just likes reading about our adventures."

Despite not being able to see his face, Ruby knew he was currently wearing a questioning expression, "But we tell her stories about those! And we didn't even write that much in that thing to begin with!" He whisper yelled.

"Don't yell at my ears," She admonished, pinching his thighs.

"Sorry," Naruto whispered apologetically. His eyes then widened slightly upon a realization, "I didn't take the diary from Jacky..."

"Let it be," Ruby waved off the problem, "Just get it tomorrow."

A moment of silence then passed by the Rose-Uzumaki couple, with the two neither drowsy nor tired, only enjoying the serene quiet.

"Hey, hun?" Ruby intoned suddenly, snuggling deeper into her husband

"Yeah?" Naruto asked, arms pleasantly tightening around his wife.

"I wanna have sex."

o-o-o-o

Next Day... Early Morning... Kitchen Area...

It was a delightfully chilly morning, cold enough to be refreshing, but not much to be uncomfortable. The air was as fresh as it could be, and if one were to venture outside, they'd see the grass glistening with morning dew.

It was at this time one Naruto Rose-Uzumaki could be seen humming by the stove, fixing breakfast for his family and guest, with his wife nursing a cup of milk at the table, with the both of them wearing small smile.

"Think they heard us last night?" Ruby asked quietly through her drink.

"I don't think so," Naruto responded, flipping some pancakes on a pan, "Activated the seals, remember?"

"Ah, yes," There was a small passing of companionable silence, with the slight sizzling of the pan and Ruby's sipping being the only noses invading their ears, as two of them basked in the wonderful feeling of the morning after.

Sex. Innit wonderful?

o-o-o-o

Hey diary, it's me, and I've something very important to write about!

Ruby's graduation day!

She's graduating in a few more weeks! I'm so happy for her!

It's been four years since she entered Beacon Academy, and she's improved much since then. Everyone did, actually.

It's also been four years since we met and were married (just celebrated our anniversary a few weeks ago actually).

Wow, four years. It feels like it was only yesterday when we met. Just... Wow, I feel so damn lucky to be married to such a wonderful woman, you know? She's sweet, caring, beautiful, understanding, and above all, kind.

Ruby, I know you're reading this, and I know that you'll probably tease future me about, but I'm still gonna write it;

You think that my smiles are nice, but I think yours are beautifully magnificent. You say that my laughter sounds lively, but I say yours are angelic and pure. You speak of how lucky you are by being married to a god, but I think it should be I who's speaking of how lucky I am for being married to you, a goddess in every meaning of the word. So, thank you, for loving me, and for giving me the chance to love you.

Your so-called godly companion.

I will love you, always.

P.S. I know I should've written that on an actual piece of paper, not in a diary, but bear with me, yeah?

o-o-o-o

A squeal of a little girl could be heard resonating inside a room, followed by the muffled sound of fists hitting a pillow, "That's so romantic!"

"Maaaaaa! Paaaaaa! Jacky's reading your diary! Again!"

"Was not!"

o-o-o-o

Kitchen...

"I guess peace and quiet's too much to ask for," Naruto mumbled, now frying his twelfth pancake.

"You know you love us," Ruby stated, an amused smile plastered on her face.

"Yeah. I do, actually," he responded with his own smile, before noticing two sets of footsteps coming nearer, "G'morning, Crescent, Penny. Sleep well?"

"Mm, yeah," replied the half-asleep Crescent, before taking a seat at the table.

"Yes, haaaah~, I did," responded Penny through a yawn, "Thank you for asking."

As chatter began to slowly fill the room, Naruto couldn't help but let out a smile of contentment. Yeah, he did know that he loved each and every people in this house. 'Rather, the people in my life. Especially the woman in my life.'

Sure, there were ups and downs in their marriage, bumps along the road and whatnot. And sure they sometimes argue over the littlest things, but he wouldn't ever trade her for anything else. Or anyone else in his life, actually. They are, after all, his precious people.

And he's quite content with what he's got. Especially with him being a Silver-Eyed Woman's Godly Companion.
