In this installment, you get another family Sunday. I hope you enjoy this installment, happy reading!
Chapter Twenty
Sasuke felt heavy. He sighed and tried to turn, but the hard, sticky blanket holding him down weighed at least a thousand pounds. Something hot and wet slid up his neck causing him to shiver with pleasure. "Mornin' Teme," he heard a sleep rough voice say as he opened his eyes, "Want hand job?"
Sasuke grinned up into the oceanic blue eyes before capturing soft rose petal lips in a kiss. "Why would I want a hand job when I can have this?" he asked as he squeezed Naruto's buttocks and flipped them over.
"Now, now Teme darling," Naruto said. "None of that this morning, we have to get up and get to breakfast. Besides, what would your parents say if they saw you?"
"'Good for you', or 'Way to go, son'" Sasuke said as he nibbled Naruto's neck.
"Yeah, I'll bet," Naruto said. "They'd probably be shocked by what a pervert their son is."
"Said the dobe who found a very creative way to eat parfait," Sasuke said as he leaned up on his elbow.
"Penis parfait a la Sasuke was delicious. You say you don't like sweets, but you really liked sharing my parfait," Naruto murmured leaning up and snatching one last kiss from Sasuke's lips.
"I suppose I like sweets in a creative way," Sasuke said as he pushed Naruto into the mattress.
Naruto pulled Sasuke over his body causing him to lose balance. "Race you to the shower," he said as he pushed the raven off of him and onto the floor.
"Oh, you're gonna get it this time," Sasuke growled before he chased Naruto out of the room.

Kakashi scratched his head as he cinched his robe and headed for the kitchen. "Morning," he yawned widely as he passed Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, and Ino who was far away from the stove as Temari and Kankuro cooked breakfast.
"Looks like you slept well," Shikamaru teased as Temari bumped him with her hip.
Kakashi gave them a wicked grin and poured two cups of coffee before setting off for his room again. He placed the cups on his night stand and slid into bed kissing plump rose colored lips and caressing caramel skin. "Wake up princess Iruka," he said. "I brought coffee."
Iruka opened his soft brown eyes and smiled lovingly at Kakashi. "You woke up early today," he observed as he sat up. Kakashi gave him a cup of coffee and sat back next to him leaning on the headboard.
"I can't always play the princess, I have to let you be the princess sometime," Kakashi said before sipping his coffee. "How's your body this morning?" he asked.
"Mmmmm, so good," Iruka said as he snuggled against Kakashi. "We better get up for breakfast. Fugaku-san and Mikoto-san will be getting up soon and so will George and the kids."
"I guess if I have to," Kakashi said. "But before we do…" he took Iruka's coffee cup away and put it on the stand before pulling him into his arms and kissing his full pouting lips until he was breathless. "Good morning, 'Ruka. I love you."
"I love you too, so much." Iruka said as he slid his hand along Kakashi's jaw. He kissed Kakashi one last time before sliding out of bed and held out a hand. "Wanna take a shower with me?"
"Absolutely," Kakashi said. "With all of these extra people here we need to conserve as much water as possible." He grabbed Iruka's hand and kissed the knuckles then led him out of the room.

"Fu, wake up. There are no servants here to bring your coffee and breakfa…" Mikoto broke off when she heard a knock on the door. She pulled the blanket up over her hips and said, "Come in."
Temari and Kankuro carried in two breakfast trays smiling at the older couple. "We thought you might like to rest for a while longer," Temari said. "When you're finished, let us know and we can come get the trays."
"Also, the shower down the hall is the closest to this room and it should be empty by the time you're through. Each bathroom has its own water heater, so the water is always warm," Kankuro said. He handed the tray to Fugaku who was sitting up in bed now.
"And towels are in each bathroom," Temari said as she placed her tray over Mikoto's lap. They gave another smile to the couple before leaving the room.
The pair looked at the breakfast set out in front of them consisting of French toast with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, a bagel half with jam and cream cheese, coffee and orange juice. "It looks delicious," Fugaku said as he cut off a piece of toast and popped it in his mouth. "Perhaps Iruka and his family would like to adopt us," were the last words he said as he gulped down his breakfast.
Mikoto raised her eyebrows as she watched her husband eat. "Would you like some of mine too?" she asked laughing as Fugaku forked two pieces of the toast from her plate on to his. She drank her orange juice and ate the remaining piece of toast before her husband could eat it. "We should take our trays back to the kitchen," she said as she sipped her coffee. "It feels wrong to have them wait on us. They're practically family."
Fugaku stacked the dishes onto one tray and put it aside. "You're right," he said as he stood up, adjusted his pajamas, and wrapped his robe around himself. He opened the bedroom door and looked both ways down the hall.
"You're asking for it, Dobe!" Sasuke exclaimed.
"You gotta catch me first!" Naruto yelled as he slid open the bathroom door with one hand and held on to a loosely draped towel with the other. He was dripping wet and running down the hall looking over his opposite shoulder so he was unable to see Fugaku in the doorway of the guest bedroom.
Sasuke chased after his vixen acknowledging his father with a short nod and an "Otou-san," before running down the hall. His towel slipped and Fugaku saw his son's backside for the first time in twenty-two years.
Fugaku slid the door to the bedroom closed again, took off his robe, and slid back into bed. Mikoto looked at her husband with confused eyes. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"I think there's a damned good reason they were waiting on us," he said. When Mikoto rolled her eyes and started to get up, Fugaku grasped her arm and pulled her back down on the bed. "Miko, I just saw Sasuke's snow white ass running down the hall chasing Naruto. Do you really want to run the risk of seeing something like that?" he asked.
"Oh really Fu you're such a prude," Mikoto scoffed. She went to the door and slid it open. Kakashi was walking down the hall with his eyes closed yawning and scratching his head when his robe slipped open exposing his pearl white body underneath, his manhood remained covered as it pointed from under the robe. Mikoto slammed the door shut and turned back to Fugaku with a red face.
"I told you," Fugaku said as he patted the bed next to him. "What do you say next time we sleep late," he said as he pulled his traumatized wife into his arms as she nodded silently.

Gaara was watching Neji sleep where he had moved more to the center of the bed as the children surrounded him. Kei had one of his little feet under Neji's nose with one of the little toes inside a nostril and the other foot resting on his chest; Kai looked like he was in the middle of a stick up as he slept with his hands in the air over his head while he lay across Neji's abdomen, and Daisuke was sleeping at the foot of the bed where Gaara was sitting as Gaara stroked his downy soft raven hair. "They must have chased you down here with all of their sleep gymnastics," he said softly to the littlest raven.
He looked back to the love of his life and watched his sleeping face. Neji was trying to dislodge Kei's toe from his nose by wiggling it back and forth a couple of times. When that didn't work, he snorted loudly. Gaara's lips twitched as the little boy removed his toe from the nose and turned with his backside in Neji's face and broke wind. 'I bet he wishes he still had that toe in his nose,' Gaara mused as Neji groaned and turned his head away from the smell.
Gaara studied the tableau in front of him and knew he wanted this. He wanted to wake up in the morning and see his lover covered in their children who stuck their little toes up his nose and farted in his face. He wanted to grow old with Neji.
"Gaara-chan, I gotta pee," Daisuke said sleepily as he rubbed his eyes.
Gaara smiled as he lifted the littlest raven into his arms and carried him to the bathroom leaving his lover and the twins to sleep.

A long midnight curtain of hair lay across Deidara's abdomen and chest as his dark lover lay with his cheek pressed to his lower abdomen and his arms wound around his waist. He lazily stroked the ivory skin covering muscular arms and back. "Morning," he said in a husky voice.
Itachi pressed a kiss onto the creamy caramel skin that had gotten darker in the tropical sun before leaning up and pushing his hair out of his face. "Good morning," he replied in his smooth baritone. He leaned forward and captured Deidara's lips in a gentle kiss.
Deidara wrapped his arms around Itachi and pulled him up his body to settle on top of him. "What do you want for breakfast this morning?" he asked when they broke apart.
"More parfait and you," Itachi grinned devilishly as he kissed his way down the smooth silky neck.
Deidara tossed his head and snorted, "That was your midnight snack, and if you have too much of me you'll get bored."
"I highly doubt that," Itachi said with his eyebrow raised. He ran his tongue over the top of Deidara's nipple as it began to harden whilst he held his almond shaped blue eyes captive with his ebony gaze.
"'Tachi," Deidara moaned in surrender and wrapped his arms around his lover.
"Otou-san, okaa-san wake up!" the twins yelled as they burst into the room.
"I thought I locked that door last night," Itachi mumbled as the boys effectively killed his erection. They jumped on the bed and bounced up and down on their father's back.
Deidara reached for his robe and pulled it on under the covers while Itachi fended off the boys. He laughed when they were able to cartwheel away from Itachi's large hands and swipe up into a handstand and try to kick their father.
"Not bad," Itachi said with pride in his voice. He stood up naked and grabbed his robe sliding into it and cinching it closed before grabbing one twin under each arm and hauling them up against his body as they giggled and squirmed. "You coming?" he asked Deidara over his shoulder.
"Yeah," he said quietly as he followed the love of his life carry the children he loved like twin sacks of grain under his arms out of the room and up the stairs.

"…and after that we looked for the snipe until three in the morning. George said it is a fearsome birdlike thing that you can only see a few months every two years," Fuyuki said excitedly as he wolfed down his breakfast. "Me and Yuu are going out again later to see if we can find it. If we find it, we'll be famous!"
"We wanna go too," Daisuke said as he jumped up and down.
"We can make a club," Kai said excitedly.
"No girls allowed," Kei declared as he glared at the giggling girls across the table.
"That's okay, oji-san George is taking me and Tammy to Ireland on a faerie hunt and you can't come!" Koyuki stated with a very Deidara like toss of her silken head.
"Who wants to find stupid girly faeries?" Kai asked.
"We'll look for leprechauns," Kei said as the boys glared at the girls.
George grinned like a maniac as the boys and girls made plans excitedly. "I still got it," he said quietly before getting up and going to take a shower.
"Nii-san…" Kankuro said fondly as the family watched the boys make a rough sketch of the fearsome birdlike creature. It had red eyes and breathed fire as it spread its ratty tattered wings. The drawing was fearsome indeed. Koyuki and Tammy drew pictures of beautiful faeries with pink wings and smiling faces. They were the cutest wanted posters ever.
Fugaku sat at the end of the table watching the children as they talked excitedly and made plans to find the snipe and faeries before Naruto, Deidara, and Gaara shooed them out of the kitchen to get washed up and dressed for the day's fun as Neji followed behind. Temari and Ino left shortly after the men and children to do the girl's and their hair and dress for the day. Fugaku tried to avoid looking in Sasuke's direction and Mikoto was trying to avoid Kakashi's gaze as well.
"Is something wrong, Fugaku- san? You and Mikoto-san look a little upset if you don't mind my saying so," Iruka said looking at the pair with concern.
"It's nothing, Iruka," Mikoto said gently. "We just saw something a little upsetting this morning, that's all."
"Was it more disturbing than otou-san's headband?" Sasuke asked mockingly as Kakashi sniggered.
"It was your ass," Fugaku hissed cuttingly as he glared at his son. "And yours too," he said turning his glare to Kakashi.
"That is disturbing," Itachi chuckled as Sasuke and Kakashi turned beet red with embarrassment and the others tried to hide their laughter unsuccessfully.
"Running around in such a disgraceful way," Fugaku continued as though Itachi hadn't spoken. "Miko and I were afraid to come out of our room!"
"Were you worried that you'd be raped?" Itachi asked sardonically as he lifted his coffee cup to his smirking lips.
Fugaku sputtered in outrage as Mikoto finally broke down and laughed. She placed her hand gently on her husband's arm. "No Itachi, we weren't afraid of that. It was just… surprising," she finished lamely.
"I know I'd be really upset if I saw either of their asses," Shikamaru said as he and Itachi grinned devilishly.
Fugaku chose to ignore them and turned instead to Iruka. "What are we doing today?" he asked.
"We're going fishing," Iruka said smiling at Deidara who came back to the kitchen. Mikoto had told him how relaxing Fugaku found fishing and after the morning the man had, he looked like he needed more than a little relaxation. "There's a pond not very far from here that's fully stocked with fish."
"Revolting," Itachi said, his eyes following Deidara around the room as he got another glass of orange juice.
"Now 'Tachi," Deidara said in a placating way as he sat back down at the table, "Don't be afraid we'll out fish you. We understand you can't be the best at everything."
"Me, not be able to out fish you? Humph," Itachi scoffed.
"Wanna make it interesting?" Deidara asked.
"Whoever wins gets to play sea turtles?" Itachi asked in return causing Deidara to blush.
"What do you mean, play sea turtles?" Naruto asked as he entered the kitchen and sat on Sasuke's lap.
"I don't even want to know," Kankuro said.
oxoxooxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxooxoxo xoxooxoxooxooxoxoxoxoxxxoxox xoxoxxxoxooxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxo xoxo
"If I ever torture anyone, I believe I'll take them fishing. No mere mortal would be able to withstand this," Itachi grumbled as he held onto the pole.
"And yet here you are…" Deidara said as he skewered the bait onto the hook since Itachi refused to do it. "But then again you are no mere mortal."
"Hn, just be ready to lose," Itachi said as he leered at his hellion.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Deidara said.
"Is Deidara singing a Beatles song over there?" Fugaku asked as he attempted a joke.
"Ojii-san, what were dinosaurs like?" Daisuke asked as Naruto helped him throw his line into the water causing everyone to roar with laughter.
"I'm not that old!" Fugaku grumbled irritably. He stuffed his wide brimmed hat lower on his head.
"Of course you're not, dear," Mikoto said as she kissed his chin.

George was sitting further down the bank of the pond trying to teach Fuyuki, Kei, Kai and Yuu how to catch kappa with nothing more than string and a lollipop. Kankuro, Temari, Shikamaru, and Ino all laughed as they watched the overgrown man-child with the boys as they set up kappa traps.
"George will never change. Remember the time he convinced Naruto and Gaara that if they didn't clean their ears properly they would grow potatoes in them?" Temari said as she hugged Shikamaru's arms that were wrapped around her lower belly.
"Remember when Naruto took it as a challenge and okaa-san had to take him to the doctor's office to have them cleaned?" Kankuro asked
"Eeewww, nasty," Ino said.
"George will probably tell our kids all these things too. It's tradition," Kankuro said as he kissed the top of Ino's head. "So be prepared for doctor's office visits, cats flying out of the dryer, snipe hunts and lots of other stuff."
Ino could hardly believe her ears; her and Kankuro having children? "You mean it?" she asked breathlessly.
"Oh yeah; George likes to tell tall tales…" Kankuro began.
"Not that," Ino interrupted. "I meant the part about kids."
Kankuro swallowed hard. He never meant for that to slip out. "Eventually I would like to have children with you," he said quietly.
Ino threw herself into Kankuro's arms and kissed every inch of his face. "I want three, no make that five kids; three boys and two girls please," she said in between kisses as though she were ordering a meal from a fast food place.
"I'll try my best," Kankuro said as he held her.
"I bet Shika and I will have kids first," Temari challenged.
"You're on," Ino accepted as her eyes shone with happiness.
"I think we're in trouble," Kankuro said quietly to Shikamaru.
"Speak for yourself. This couldn't have worked out any better if I had planned it," Shikamaru said with a grin on his face.

Gaara was sketching on the bank of the pond as Neji posed for him while Koyuki and Tammy looked for butterflies in the wild flowers behind them. He lingered over the lines he drew to bring forth Neji's likeness on the paper. "Can I see now?" Neji asked for the tenth time.
"In a minute," Gaara smiled slightly at his beloved. He added to the thickness of Neji's hair and shaded the eyes a little more before nodding, satisfied with the finished product. "You can look now," he said as he turned the picture around.
Neji's eyes widened in disbelief when he looked at the stunning drawing. "There's no way I look like that," he said in disbelief.
"What do you mean? It looks exactly like you," Gaara said defensively.
"There's no way I'm that good looking," Neji clarified.
Gaara smiled gently and put down his drawing and crawled into Neji's lap. "I only draw what I see," he murmured.
"Then I would love to see things the way you do," Neji said as he stroked Gaara's lovely face.
"I love you," Gaara said as he pulled Neji's face down to his and kissed him hungrily. "Will you stay over again tonight?" he asked after they broke apart.
Neji felt like doing cartwheels all around the pond. "You know I will," he said as he drown in jade eyes. Gaara closed his eyes and leaned against his beloved as Neji picked up the sketch pad and looked down at his likeness. "Can I have this?" he asked.
"Nope," Gaara answered. "It's mine." He sat up and moved off of Neji's lap. "I need to rent a suite in your hotel after this week. We have builders coming to add onto the house so Fugaku-san and Mikoto-san never have to see anyone else naked ever again," Gaara snickered.
Neji looked at Gaara for a minute before saying, "How would you feel about sharing the penthouse suite with another guy I know?"
"I don't know, what's this guy like?" Gaara asked as Neji pulled him back into his lap.
"He's quiet mostly, has long brown hair, and a boyfriend who is a very talented artist," he said as he wrapped his arms around Gaara.
"Sounds like my kind of guy," Gaara purred as Neji pet him.
They sat together for a few moments before Neji finally asked, "Why didn't you just ask if you could stay with me?"
"I didn't want you to think I was using you and it'll probably take a month or so before the house is finished," Gaara said quietly.
Neji looked at his bewitching redhead incredulously. "You know I'd do anything for you," he said.
"We would be living together even though it's temporary. Do you think you're ready for that?" Gaara asked just as quietly as before.
Neji nodded. "Absolutely," he said before leaned down and kissed Gaara on his mouth tenderly.

"What do I do okaa-san?" Daisuke asked as his eyes got wide while he fought to keep his pole in his hand and jumped up and down.
"Reel it in, Daisuke!" Naruto shouted excitedly as he jumped up and down too when the little boy's line got pulled under. He put his hands over Daisuke's and helped the little boy reel his fish in as Sasuke stood off to the side refusing to touch any of the slimy disgusting things fishing has to offer.
They gave a sharp tug on the pole and pulled the small fish out of the water sending it flying. They watched in awe as the fish arced in the air and landed right in Sasuke's hair. It flopped around, slapping Sasuke on the top of his head a few times before falling to the ground causing everyone except Sasuke and Daisuke, who were glaring at the little fish, to laugh.
Daisuke gasped when the little fish fell off of his father's head and landed on the ground. He ran over and tried to stomp on it as it flopped around. "Stop hurting otou-san!" he yelled as he stomped on the ground chasing the fish. When it landed on the top of the little boy's feet, he screamed and ran to his father as the twins came running with sticks to rescue the littlest raven from the rampaging fish.
"Get it!" Kai said missing his first strike.
"I got it!" Kei said as he smacked the ground next to the fish.
"Hold it boys," Naruto laughed as he stepped forward holding his aching ribs. He took the fish off of the hook and let it slide back into the water. The fish wriggled its body a couple of times before it swam away.
"Awww, you let it get away!" Kai said tossing his stick aside.
"We wanted to eat it!" Kei said as he and his brother started to walk back to George and the older boys to catch a frog since they hadn't managed to catch a kappa yet.
Sasuke had Daisuke in his arms as the little boy checked him over to make sure he was okay. "Does it hurt otou-san?" he asked as he patted the top of Sasuke's head.
"No. You saved me just in time," Sasuke said as he patted his clone on the back and smiled at him causing Daisuke to giggle and hug his father close.
"I will save otou-san all the time," Daisuke said sincerely as he looked into his father's black fathomless eyes. He placed a wet kiss on Sasuke's cheek and wiggled out of his arms to go join the other boys and George on their frog hunt.
Sasuke cleared his throat of the uncomfortable emotions trying to choke him as he stared at his son's little back. He felt two arms encircle him from behind and a warm body press against him. "You okay, Teme?" Naruto asked and Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "You know when I first met Daisuke he wanted the cake he made to be perfect so you'd smile at him. All he thinks about is you," Naruto said as he held Sasuke close.
"I never realized I was putting so much on him," Sasuke said quietly as he continued to gaze at his son's smiling face as the redheaded giant picked him up and swung him around.
Fugaku was watching his son closely as he stared after Daisuke. "It is normal for a sochi to worry for his otou-san, to want to impress his otou-san. You and Itachi still do it," he said as he looked out over the pond gripping the pole in his hands until his knuckles turned even whiter. "The only thing you can do is prove to your sochi that you are worth his worry and love and return it the best way you know how. You and Itachi are fortunate to have partners who will help you, just as I had your okaa-san," he finished refusing to look at anyone as he spoke the comforting words to his son.
Mikoto wiped the tears from her eyes gazing at her husband with love as Itachi and Sasuke stared wide eyed at the stoic man who had never in their lives ever spoken with so much emotion. They said nothing to embarrass their patriarch since they knew it was difficult for him to express these types of sentiments as Naruto held Sasuke close and Deidara held Itachi's hand for support.
Mikoto scooted closer to her husband and placed her hand on his far cheek turning his head so that his eyes met hers. "I love you, Uchiha Fugaku. I love you more than you will ever know," she whispered before she leaned forward and kissed him with all the love she felt.

"I think the kids are excited about moving in together, don't you?" Kakashi asked as he and Iruka lie on a blanket looking up at the clouds.
"You think so?" Iruka asked as he rolled onto his stomach and stacked his hands under his chin watching the boys chasing the girls with a large bull frog they caught and the girls screaming as they ran away. "I'm glad they're excited," he said wistfully.
Kakashi made a quick check of the area to make sure no one was looking before sliding his palms up Iruka's bare thighs and under the leg of his shorts caressing all of the flesh he could reach. "You know better than to turn your delectable ass up in front of me," he murmured in Iruka's ear as he tried to reach higher in the shorts.
Iruka moaned and his body reacted to Kakashi's touch, moving to get closer to the pleasant stimulation. "If you keep doing this every day, you'll get tired of me before too long," Iruka warned.
"Impossible," Kakashi said firmly as he leaned down and kissed Iruka's full lips. "I'll never have too much of you."
Iruka turned in Kakashi's arms and wrapped him in his embrace as he deepened the kiss. "It went this way!" he heard Fuyuki shout just before a wet, slimy mass splat on his cheek for a second before moving off.
"I hate fishing," Kakashi grumbled as he sat up with the frog tangled in his gravity defying silver hair. Iruka wiped his cheek off and tried not to laugh at the sight in front of him. The frog was caught by one leg in Kakashi's hair and every time it leapt it would bounce back against Kakashi's head, bumping its butt against it.
"Oji-san caught it!" Kai yelled as he and Kai ran forward with their nets.
"It's in his hair!" Daisuke giggled as they watched the frog try to escape the silver prison only to get tangled deeper.
Kakashi felt a trickle of wet slide down the back of his head and drop onto his neck. "That better not be frog piss," he growled.
Iruka tried to hide his giggles unsuccessfully as he caught the frog between his hands and untangled it from Kakashi's hair. He handed the frog over to the boys who went back to chasing the girls with it. Iruka finally broke down and laughed out loud when Kakashi raised a hand to the nape of his neck and sniffed his fingers in disgust. "Oh c'mon 'Kashi," he said playfully. "You're not the first person in history to get a golden shower from a frog!"
Kakashi growled low in his throat before tackling Iruka to the ground and tickling his ribs causing his caramel lover to squeal breathlessly and laugh. "I give up!" he gasped for air after a few minutes as Kakashi continued to assault his 'tickle spots'.
"What will you give me if I stop?" Kakashi bargained as he continued to tickle.
"Any… anything," Iruka gasped. "Just please stop," he laughed as tears streamed down his face.
"Let me stay again tonight," Kakashi said quietly as his fingers stilled.
Iruka's laughter wound down as he wrapped his arms behind Kakashi's neck. "Any time," he whispered as he pulled Kakashi's head down to rest on his chest. He stroked the broad back tenderly as he held his silvery lover in his arms. "You know, you could have asked for anything and I would have given it to you," he said after a minute.
"Why would I ask for anything else when everything I want is right here?" Kakashi asked as he tightened his hold on Iruka. "You make all of my dreams come true."
Iruka smiled. "All of your dreams?" he asked roguishly.
Kakashi braced his arms on either side of Iruka's body and leaned up catching the look on his face. "Well there are a few that involve you dressing up like a school teacher and I'm your delinquent student not to mention some other more perverted ones," he said with a leer.
Iruka felt a frisson of pleasure flash through his body as his face blushed with desire. "I'll have to work on making each and every one of them come true starting tonight, Kakashi-kun," Iruka vowed causing Kakashi to groan.

"What's all this now?" George asked as the twins and Daisuke clung to him crying. He had already exchanged pleasantries and goodbyes with the grownups he had met this weekend. "A couple of days ago you were kickin' me in the shins and glarin' daggers at me," he chuckled as he lifted all three boys into his arms. "Hush now, me buckos. I'll be back before you know it and we'll have some more fun," he promised as he hugged the little ones tightly. He put them down and turned to Koyuki and Fuyuki, Yuu and Tammy had gone home after fishing. "You two be good," he said as he gave them a quick hug before they took the little ones back to the house with the grownups following close behind.
"Are you sure you can't stay longer, nii-san?" Iruka asked as he hugged George tightly.
"I wish I could, but I gotta be gettin' back to the missus," he said as he crushed the smaller man in his arms then turning and doing the same thing to each of his little ones. He glanced down at Gaara who was the last one to step forward. "You sure you don't wanna come back to Suna with me?" he asked.
Gaara gave a small smile as he shook his head. "I'm happy here," he said quietly.
George chucked his chin lightly with his fist and chuckled. "I'm happy to see it. Your okaa-san would be proud," he declared as he wiped a small tear from the corner of his eye. He cleared his throat and opened his car door. "Marie and I will be down after the baby's born to see you again," he promised. He looked around at the faces he loved so much and released a shuddering breath. "Take care me boys and girl. I love you," he said before getting into the car and shutting the door.
The siblings held onto one another as they watched George drive away waving until he was out of sight. After his taillights disappeared they turned and went into the house.
Mikoto looked up as the group of depressed looking siblings came into the house. She smiled gently at them. "He'll be back soon," she said encouragingly to which they gave a watery smile.
Kakashi stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Iruka as Koyuki and Fuyuki did too. Neji and Shikamaru enveloped Gaara and Temari into their embraces. Kankuro pulled Ino into his arms and buried his nose in her hair. Naruto and Deidara sat on Sasuke and Itachi's laps and rested their heads on their shoulders as the kids climbed into their laps and hugged them. After a while, the couples broke apart and life resumed as normal.
Fugaku challenged Ino to another game of ping pong losing to her again in five games as Kakashi, Shikamaru, and Kankuro smirked. "I'd like to see you beat her," he grumbled. He pointed his paddle at the inhuman woman. "Next Sunday!" he barked.
"Actually Fugaku-san, builders are coming on Friday to start setting up to add on to the house," Iruka said. "I don't think we'll be having the traditional Sunday."
"No excuse," Fugaku said. "We'll have Sunday at the mansion."
"That's a lovely idea dear," Mikoto beamed as she patted his arm affectionately.
"It's settled then. We have Sundays at the mansion until construction is complete," he said as he surveyed the countryside. He put his paddle on the table before turning to the stunned family. "Pack what you need and move in tomorrow, but no running the halls naked!"
"Iruka is staying with me," Kakashi said.
"Gaara is staying with me," Neji said as he wrapped his arms around his petit lover.
"Well, the rest of you…" Mikoto started.
"Temari and Kankuro are staying with me," Ino interrupted as she put her paddle down earning a glare from Shikamaru.
"What about Naruto and Deidara?" Mikoto asked as she looked at the golden brothers playing with her grandchildren as her sons stood watch.
"They haven't made up their minds yet," Gaara said.
"Well they're more than welcome to come and stay with us," Mikoto said.
Fugaku looked at his watch. "It's getting rather late and since Itachi isn't due back in the office until Tuesday, I have to get up early for a meeting," he said bitterly. He had planned on having Itachi meet with the annoying investor instead of running the risk of alienating the man by telling him that his daughter had no talent for fashion design. Itachi was far more diplomatic than he and Sasuke in these matters.
Kakashi gave Fugaku a sympathetic look. He knew exactly who he was meeting with tomorrow and he knew how pushy the man could be. He had withdrawn as a stock holder in Kakashi's modeling firm before he joined Uchiha Corp. because Kakashi had told him his daughter was not what fashion designers look for in a model. The girl had buck teeth and crossed eyes for Kami's sake and the man thought that if he threw his money around enough, she would become huge in the fashion world. "Whatever you do, don't tell him she has crossed eyes, knocked knees, and buck teeth or that she walks like a lumberjack," Kakashi said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Hn, I always wondered what you said that set the man off. Sasuke told her that her designs were perfect for mal-proportioned, blind hunchbacks the last time he dealt with them and I don't think I'll do any better," Fugaku said miserably.
"Surely his money doesn't mean that much if it causes you this much trouble," Iruka said reasonably.
"I couldn't have said it better, Iruka dear," Mikoto beamed. She turned to the playground and signaled her sons to bring the children to her.
"Otou-san, I will be in tomorrow morning for the meeting," Itachi said as he approached his parents much to his father's relief. "I will leave after it, though." He put his hand on Deidara's waist as he stood from hugging and kissing the twins goodnight. Fugaku acknowledged Itachi with a nod of his head.
"We wanna stay with okaa-san too," Kei wailed as he and Kai clung to Deidara's legs.
"We can help find sea turtles," Kai wailed causing Deidara to glare at the smirking devil behind him.
"You have lessons with tutors tomorrow," Itachi said firmly.
"We'll go to the park tomorrow for lunch okay?" Deidara said as he patted his boys on their heads.
"Can we look for kappa and the snape?" Daisuke asked excitedly.
"Snipe," Fuyuki corrected. "Yeah, we'll have lots of fun," he put a comforting arm around the twin ravens and led them away to the car as he and Daisuke made plans. Koyuki kissed Iruka and Kakashi goodnight and followed her brother and cousins. Mikoto hugged her extended family and said goodnight before she and Fugaku went to the car and pulled out of the driveway moments later.
Itachi leered at Deidara as the limo disappeared. "If I'm going to be any good at this meeting, we better start our little game early," he said as he began to pull his angel into the house.
"I fail to see how you won, 'Tachi. I had to bait your hook and take all of your fish off too. Your fish should have been added to my total," Deidara whined as he tried to hide his excitement. He loved nothing more than to have Itachi under him as he tried to hide his moans of pleasure while he used his hands and mouth on his beloved devil.
"Should I play Tchaikovsky?" Kankuro snorted as he watched the pair.
"Better make it sounds of the jungle," Itachi said. "Little Deidara can be quite loud."
The others laughed as Deidara's face burned with embarrassment. Kakashi grabbed Iruka and threw him over his shoulder and started toward the house. "I think we should make our own noise," he purred as he stroked the upturned buttocks before giving it a sharp whack and running up the stairs.
Naruto grabbed Sasuke by the hand and pulled him towards the house. "C'mon, Teme," he purred. "I got another outfit to show you."
"Poor Sasuke," Temari shook her head. "If Naruto's talking about that outfit I saw him try on, he's in trouble," she said as she and Ino went into the house followed by Shikamaru and Kankuro.
"I think we should get more practice for making a baby," Ino said as she grabbed Kankuro's large hand. They turned on the home theater and played some music leaving it to shuffle as she and Temari took their men away.
Gaara eyed the tents that remained up in the back yard. "Ever made it in a tent before?" he asked Neji.
"No, but I always wanted to try," Neji said before he and Gaara ran for the nearest tent shedding clothes as they ran.
