Sakura's eyes slowly opened to the early morning light. She groaned and groggily sat up, wiping the sleep out of her eyes. She yawned and stretched her arms over her head. She looked down at the person laying down next to her, still asleep. She smiled and said, "Sasuke-kun, time to get up." Sakura lightly shook Sasuke's shoulder, making him groan annoyingly and turn over. Sakura sighed and got out of her bed.

"Fine, don't get up. I'm gonna go take Atsushi to the market. Meet us at Naruto's office after you get out of bed." Sakura said, getting a shooing motion from Sasuke's raised hand. She sighed again and walked out of the door, heading down the hall of the Uchiha compound and stopping at another door. She slowly opened it and walked towards the bed of her four-year-old son.

He looked just like Sasuke, with an exception of Sakura's green eyes. He was in a dark blue shirt with the Uchiha Clan's symbol on the back of it, and tan shorts that went to his knees (picture a four year old Sasuke with green eyes). Sakura knelt down by Atsushi's bed and placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking like she did Sasuke only a little mor softly. "Atsushi sweet heart, it's time to wake up.

Atsushi's eyes opened slightly and he moaned, closing them again and turning around. Sakura smiled at how much he was like his father, but then got an evil grin on her face. "If you don't get up, I'll drop you off at Lee's house." She said, her grin widening when she saw the boy flinch. He shot up in a sitting position and jumped out of his bed, going to change into his day clothes (wich were prety much the same).

"Where are we going again mom?" Atsushi asked, coming out of his closet and pulling his shirt over his head. "The market. Then we're going to the Hokage Tower to visit Naruto, and if you're lucky, maybe Yumi will be there so you two can play." Sakura said. Atsushi smiled brightly and almost dragged her out the door by her hand, running towards the Hokage Tower.

"Naruto, remind me again why I have to carry your daughter?" Kyuubi said, coming out of Naruto's mindscape. He shrunk down to his three tail state so he was at hip level with naruto and able to carry Yumi easily. "Because Kyuubi, she likes riding you and I'm still tired. Besides, it's not like it's hard or anything. All you have to do is walk, you'll hardly notice her." Naruto said, shrugging his shoulders at the last part and helping Yumi up onto the fox.

"You forget something..." Kyuubi said once Yumi was on his back. "I did? What?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow. Yumi wrapped her arms around Kyuubi's neck, giggling and making Kyuubi wince. "Her death-grip..." Kyuubi sid, struggling for oxygen. Naruto laughed and said, "Yumi sweety, would you mind not strangling Kyuubi please?" Yumi pouted in defeat and folded her arms. Naruto chuckled and patted her head affectionetly.

They began walking and Yumi grabbed her father's hand for support from the swaying fox beneath her. Everyone they passed smiled and greeted them with either bows or waving hello. Some both. "Naruto-sama!" Said a familiar voice from behind hem. Naruto and Yumi's heads turned, both having the same look on their faces as if to say, 'yeah?'. Orihime jogged up to them and put her hands on her knees. "Excuse me Naruto-sama, but I would like to ask you something." She said, raising her head as if she was never tired in the first place.

"Orihime, you don't have to use formalities with me. It's bad enough I can't stop Kimimaro and Sasuke from saying it when they're on duty. Don't you start on me too." Naruto said, putting a finger on Orihime's forehead jokingly. "Hi aunty Ori!" Yumi said, making Kyuubi turn around and waving at her. Orihime smiled brightly at the girl and said, "Hi Yumi! Hey, is that your pet or something?" Kyuubi sweatdropped when he felt Yumi's head nod.

"Yumi sweety, how many times do I have to tell you? Kyuubi isn't your pet, if anything he's my pet!" Naruto said amusingly, a wide grin spreading across his face. Kyuubi growled and Naruto and Yumi burst into laughter at what he said. To Orihime, Naruto said that, the fox growled, and they started laughing. "Wow, he's such a beautiful fox! But what's with the three tails? Is it a birth defect?" Orihime said, kneeling down next to Kyuubi who had his head dropped from the last statement.

"No it's not a birth defect." Naruto said, trying his best not to laugh uncontrolably. Suddenly, Orihime fell backwards onto her back-side and pointed shakily at the fox in front of her. "Wh-what's with the intense spiritual pressure coming from this thing!?" She said, scooting back several feet. "Hm? Oh do you mean chakra?" Naruto said, getting a confused look from Orihime.

Naruto sighed and started to explain. "Chakra is the energy in our bodies that lets us do everyday tasks. It's a mixture between spiritual and physical energies in our bodies, and we can use those energies to perform jutsus and stuff like that." He said folding his arms, frusterated because he had to give a lesson. "Ohhhhhh, so ya I guess I mean chakra." Orihime said, scratchiing the back of head.

"Well, this isn't just a plain old fox. Don't get me wrong he's REALLY OLD, but not plain. He's the lord of demons, and he's sealed inside my body." Naruto said nonchalauntly, turning and motioning for her to follow. Orihime got up and walked next to Naruto, making sure to be on the opposite side Kyuubi was. "So, what did you want to ask me?" Naruto asked, looking over expectently at Orihime.

"Oh yeah! I was going to ask you if you wished to inlist selected Soul Reapers to help you in your village with whatever you need. With the sudden hollow showing up, I wanted to make sure you guys were protected. The lower class Soul Reapers can do mundanee jobs, like helping the villagers around town. The higher classed ones can do prety much any given job. Although some might just want to do the ones that test their strength." Orihime said, already knowing wich ones would do that.

Naruto pondered this for a minute and then said, "As long as they pose no threat to the village, I'd be glad to have them here. But if they're power-hungry, like to kill, or are completely cold-hearted, they can't come. Got it?" Orihime nodded, amazed at how protective he was over the village. "I know just the people!" She said with a thumbs-up. Naruto smiled and again took Yumi's hand, steadying her from falling.

"Well, we're gonna go to the Hokage Tower. Oh and Yumi, I'm prety sure Sakura was gonna bring Atsushi over to pl-" Naruto started but was cut short by Yumi darting off on Kyuubi. "Come one uncle Kyu! I wanna play with Atsu!" Naruto heard her call. He sighed and chuckled at his daughter's antics, then started to run after them with Orihime in tow. "Naruto, there was something else I wanted to ask you." She said, looking over at the blonde Hokage.

"What is it?" Naruto asked, looking back at Orihime. "Well... me and Ichigo were thinking about setting up a permanent housing area for us and the other Soul Reapers. Would that be alright?" Orihime asked hopefully. "Yeah sure! There's a great big lot near my house, I'll show you where it is when I'm done at my office." Naruto said, tilting his head slightly and grinning evily. "Wh-what?" Orihime said, concerned of what he was implying with the smile.

"So are you and Ichigo gonna share a room?" Naruto asked, the grin growing wider and wider. Orihime sent him flying to the ground in an ally they were over with a punch to the top of the head. Naruto quickly recovered and joined her again in running, laughing uncontrolably when he saw the blush on the girl's face.
