I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while. We repainted my room and had to take the computer out, so I couldn't update because my story was saved on my computer. But, my room is done (it looks awesome, by the way) so I'm updating! Oh, and I was thinking of changing my username again, so right before I update this story again I'm going to change my username to xXdarkblossomXx. (Well, I'll change it if I don't forget, that is.) Thanks!


"We're trying to train, Mitsuko!" Kiyoshi yelled at his younger sister. "Go back inside before you get hurt! Isamu has such bad aim that one of the kunai is bound to hit you." Isamu threw the younger child a threatening glare.

"I'm done with training anyways!" the seven-year-old snapped at his friend.

"Quitting already?" Kakashi stated dully from his seat in the grass. His little orange manga book was pulled out and his one visible eye was skimming the page. Isamu turned to face his father with an unreadable expression.

"Kakashi, could you come here for a second?" Kurenai called from inside the house where she and TenTen were talking together. After lying his manga book down on the ground, marking the page he was on, he stood up and slowly strolled into the house to see what his wife wanted.

The two young boys exchanged glances. "What do you think you're dad is always reading?" Kiyoshi asked in curiosity. Isamu shrugged and both cautiously went over and picked up the manga book.

Both pairs of eyebrows suddenly raised in confusion as their eyes gazed at the pages of the Icha Icha Paradise manga book. "What are they-" Kiyoshi started to ask. That's when the sound of the back door opening met their ears. Kakashi didn't notice that his son and the Hyuga boy were observing his manga book until he was halfway across the yard.

Once he realized they were looking at it, he froze, his eye wide. His heart was racing and he started to tremble.

"Dad, what are they doing?" Isamu questioned, turning the book so that his father could see the page they were looking at.

The silver-haired Jounin sighed and shook his head. "That's how people-" he started nervously. "Make babies." Isamu dropped the book onto the ground and started backing away in disgust.

"Gross!" he shrieked. Kiyoshi was equally scared. Both were backing up and staring at the manga book as if it was a monster. "Those people were naked!"

"And kissing!" Kiyoshi added in his moment of pure horror.

"You'll learn more about it when you're older," Kakashi grumbled, snatching the book up off the ground and hugging it defensively. "I don't want you looking at this from now on though."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Every person he passed on the street started laughing when they saw him. Itachi felt like dying he was so embarrassed. It had already been three days since his picture had been in the newspaper and people were still laughing at him.

His fairly slow walk soon broke out into a trot, and the man completed his journey to the Hokage's office going that speed.

"Oh, Itachi, have a seat," Tsunade sighed, gesturing towards a chair in front of her desk. The blonde woman shifted, trying to see over his shoulder to figure out if anyone else was with him. As Itachi was sitting down, Tsunade added, "Where is the other one?"

"Huh?" Itachi hummed, a bit confused.

"I also summoned your brother here. I thought he might arrive here with you. Not only that, I also ordered Shikamaru Nara to come here." Just after she finished her explanation, Shikamaru entered the room, scratching the back of his head.

"This is so troublesome. It's too early in the morning to be assigned a mission." The Nara man sat down in a chair beside Itachi. Everything was silent, everything until-

"Where is Sasuke?" Tsunade shouted, slamming a fist on the desk. It was hard to believe, but ten minutes had already passed. "He better have a good reason for being late!" The fuming Hokage perched her elbows up on her desk and took deep breaths, trying to calm down. All these young shinobi irritated her to no end.

"Sorry I'm late," Sasuke sighed, finally making his way into the room and sitting down.

"You better have a good reason!" Tsunade snarled, shaking a fist at him. "I won't accept the excuse 'I got lost on the path of life.' You can ask your sensei about that story! He learned the hard way!"

Sasuke's face twitched a bit. She's almost worse than Sakura when she's angry, he grumbled mentally. "Well, you see," he started, trying to think up of a decent excuse. If Kakashi's excuse didn't work, then his real excuse definitely wouldn't. Sleeping in was not a good excuse. "Sakura got sick this morning and I had to stay home and make sure she was alright before I left."

The Hokage bought the story, calming down greatly when hearing the situation. Since it was about her finest student, Sakura, she dismissed the fact that Sasuke was late and found a mission request sheet.

"I have an A-ranked mission for the three of you. There has been a group of ninja causing trouble at a small village just north of here. They filed a request saying that they wanted some of the Leaf Village ninja to come and catch whoever was causing trouble."

"No problem," Itachi and Sasuke said at the same time. Shikamaru only nodded and yawned.

"You will all leave tomorrow afternoon. Report here before you leave for your mission so I can give you more information. Dismissed."

The three men all exchanged glances as they were rising from their chairs. Sasuke inched over slowly towards his brother. "Come over to my place. I've got something interesting to watch."

The two men went to Sasuke's house. Just as planned, Sakura was leaving as they were arriving. "Bye, Sasuke, I'm leaving to go train a couple medical ninja at the hospital. I should be back in about two hours. Hinata is inside getting ready to leave." After kissing him quickly on the lips, she made her way towards the hospital.

Itachi and Sasuke walked into the house to find Hinata lying on the couch, a hand covering her forehead. "I got dizzy and had to lie down," she explained, looking over at the two Uchiha's.

"So, what are we going to watch?" Itachi asked a bit excitedly. Hinata shifted then sat up, a confused look in her eyes.

"Watch what?"

"Sasuke said that he had something interesting to watch," Itachi said. "So, what is it?" The male trotted upstairs and came back down a couple seconds later with a huge box. Once it was set down in the middle of the living room, he opened it and peered inside. "What's all that stuff?"

"Sakura's prized possessions," Sasuke snickered mischievously.

"Sasuke Uchiha, put that box back where you got it from!" Hinata snapped, standing up and whacking him on the head. "I'm sure Sakura doesn't want you going through all of her prized possessions and messing stuff up!"

"I'm her husband, she won't mind."

"Sasuke, put it back!" Hinata said with more force this time. Itachi slung an arm around his wife's shoulders and kissed her on the cheek.

"Calm down, Honey. Think of it this way. When you get married, the two people share everything, a house, money, a bed, food, everything. So, whatever is Sakura's is also Sasuke's." That was when Sasuke held up a video labeled 'Haruno Home Videos.' "Besides, don't you want to watch Sakura's home videos?"

She felt somewhat guilty, but something about home videos sparked her interest. Only nodding, the two men shared a grin.

"Itachi, go make popcorn," Sasuke ordered, walking over to the television and turning it on, along with the VCR.
