Author's notes: There is only one spoiler in here and it's for the first Naruto movie...(Shrugs) It's hardly a spoiler, but it's one nonetheless...
"...then we played Ninja! Uncle Naruto was the bad Ninja! He chased us around the entire estate while we tried to carry important papers to Aunt Hinata." Sasuke's daughter, Mikoto chipped happily as her father walked her home from a sleep over. "Whenever Uncle Naruto stopped us, we'd fight him and always win! The papers were safely given to Aunt Hinata!"
Sasuke smiled. "What did you do after that?"
Mikoto smiled. "Ate supper. It was Ramen of course. That's all we ever eat when I go to her house. She and Uncle Naruto ate four bowls each. I could barely finish up one! After that we played Ninja some more and ran around inside the house until Aunt Hinata said it was time for bed."
The father and daughter walked down the sidewalk, Mikoto, like her mother and grandmother, waved and said hello to every familiar face that came her way. His daughter continued to tell how her weekend was as they walked the very long road home. Long stories about her two days away from home always made Sasuke think of old memories of his own childhood. His childhood was shattered at his age and he never had a road home to take to see his family whenever he returned from school or a friends.
"We also watched a really old movie. With...Yukie...something...She's a Princess of the Snow country! Isn't that so cool?! When I grow up I want to be a Kunoichi-Actress-Princess just like her!" His daughter said with an ecstatic tone.
Sasuke smirked. The mission with Princess Fuun...he remembered that one all those years ago.
"She has long black hair just like me, too! Isn't that --- Hello, mommy!" Mikoto dropped her topic and let go of Sasuke's hand and ran up the steps to the house where she lived. Running into her mothers arms.
"Hello Mikoto. How was your weekend?" Her mother picked up her child and supported her on her hip, smiling and nodding her head as her daughter began to talk happily again about the weekend.
"When I first got there Aunt Hinata had whole bunch of games set out for us! Chiyemi and I played hide-and-go-seek four times. Then when Uncle Naruto got home, Chiyemi and I..." Mikoto carried on.
Walking up the steps, Sasuke kissed his wife softly on the lips as a greeting from his short absence. He always did this before he left and whenever he came home. Sasuke treasured Sakura and Mikoto deeply.
"I'm guessing she told you about her weekend during the entire way home." Sakura commented in a low voice.
He nodded and glanced at his child, who was still talking without a care that her parents weren't paying full attention. "She always tells me about her weekend when we take the long road home."
Author's notes - I really dislike this one...it's 'cute' though, lol.
