~3 years later~

All the way in the Hidden Mist Village was now a three year old Sakura Haruno, who had quite literally attached herself to a member of the Legendary Swordsmen group "Mange-ni" she reached out butchering his name horribly in a shrill cry.

Followed by his own little brother "Not your Ni, my ni, mine" Suigetsu scowled at the young girl that was scampering around after them lately, what was even worse how his brother obliged the bubblegum haired girl by picking her up always.

"There, there Sakura, what's the matter do you want your Auntie" Mangetsu asked gently hefting the child completely into his arms so that they were eye level and he didn't have to practically break his back trying to listen to her explain what she wanted.

Off to the side Suigetsu sulked and plopped down throwing a mini temper tantrum "Suige-kun dont wanna pway wif me" Sakura sniffled tears dripping down her cherubic cheeks, upset because the only child she knew that was her age didn't like her at all.

Purple eyes widened in response and flashed to the pouting three year old boy "Have you asked him to play with you Sakura" the white haired adult inquired carefully drawing his little brothers attention to the point he stopped throwing his mini temper tantrum.

Sakura shook her head fuscia locks swaying from the hurried movements "If ya wanted ta pway I woulda pwayed wiff ya" the little pale blue haired three year stood and scuffed his shoe in the dirt no longer looking jealous that his brother was paying the little girl attention.

Especially as she was set on the ground "Then does Suige-kun wanna pway tag wif me now" the little three year old pinkette asked with wide hopeful viridian eyes, not wanting to have the girl cry anymore the little boy nodded his head eagerly.

With that began their game of tag "Phew glad that was resolved" Mangetsu grimaced settling back on the bench to keep watch over the children, still wondering how he'd gotten stuck with babysitting the little girl.

It hit him just as she arrived "Everything alright Mangetsu" Mei inquired hiding behind a tree that was conspicuously placed next to the bench the 24 year old was seated on, both eyes focused on the three years chasing each other back and forth.

Mangetsu nodded and Mei smiled, reminding him of his crush on the twenty year old auburn haired woman, he would do anything for her, watch her niece, help her acquire her goal, if only it would get her to notice him.

Sometimes it seemed like it worked, others his efforts were a complete failure, with that Mei headed back to where ever she'd come from to retrieve lunch, knowing that it would be difficult with two toddlers in tow.

Twenty minutes later she was back, this time she didn't keep hidden and sat on the bench waiting "Auntie Mei your back, your back" Sakura squealed abandoning the game of tag she'd instigated and rushing towards the beautiful auburn haired woman that was her aunt.

A brilliant smile ghosted across her lips at the pure adulterated love the child held for her "We get ta go home now right" Suigetsu asked butchering his sentence terribly like his friend, they were both still young and had trouble talking.

His answer was a snort as the four of them settled on the ground to eat lunch, before Mei was gone leaving Sakura in the Hozuki's care for just a while longer, until she'd done all that she could for the day and collected her niece to return home for a quiet dinner, bath and eventually bedtime.

~Meanwhile~

That very same morning all the way in the Hidden Leaf Village was Sakura's younger twin brother Asagao Haruno, who didn't even know he had a twin at that current moment in time, had been brought to the park to play by his parents.

Fortunately he had a better time of making friends than his sister as he instantly befriended the second heir of the Uchiha Clan "My name's Asagao wanna play" Asagao was a little more articulate than his sister at the age of three it seemed.

Ebony orbs blinked at him before a wide smile spread across the face of the boy he was speaking to "Sure tag, your it, and ya hafta look for me to, Sasuke Uchiwa" Sasuke greeted and the two young boys shook on it before Sasuke vanished to hide.

While Asagao closed his eyes and started counting as high as he could which wasn't much, he kept forgetting what number came after which, but he was sure that he'd allowed Sasuke plenty enough time to hide so uncovered his eyes and started searching.

"Look at that seems like Asagao has made a friend" Mebuki pointed out watching her son head towards the bushes, determination in his blue eyes, which lit up in excitement when another boy, a raven haired three year old popped out of the bushes.

Only to instigate a game of chase, until Asagao managed to finally tag his friend "Seems like it Mebuki, it's a relief that he won't be completely alone until we have Sakura back with us" Kizashi nodded lowering his voice.

They'd both decided together not to tell their son about his fraternal twin sister, until it was practically time for her to come home so they could become genin together "Hmm that's odd Otouto playing with another child, rare yet also a relief" a voice came from their right.

And they both looked to find the first heir of the Uchiha Clan, Itachi Uchiha "Our son is quite intriguing, we're the Haruno's the boy your brother is playing with is our little boy Asagao Haruno" the blonde woman with green eyes explained.

Garnering a smile from the obviously eight year old raven haired boy "Are you here to take him home" the pale pink haired male with blue eyes asked in the next moment realizing what the heir would possibly be there for.

"Unfortunately but if you'd like I can bring Sasuke-otouto to this park again tomorrow" Itachi offered and both adults nodded, with that he headed towards the two playing boys and told his little brother that it was time to go home.

Sasuke immediately started pouting "Dont wanna, dont wanna, dont wanna" the little ebony haired three year old flopped on the ground flailing his arms and basically throwing a fit because he didn't want to go home and never get to see his new friend again.

Asagao blinked his blue eyes "I come tomorrow pwomise" the little pale pink haired three year old announced looking determined again, he would do whatever it took to convince his parents to bring him back to the park the next day.

With that it stopped the tantrum in it's tracks "And I'll also ask Mother and Father if I can bring you again as well so no worries Otouto" the raven haired eight year old laughed lightly at the hopeful look in his little brothers onyx eyes.

"Pwomise Asagao…byebye tomrrow" little Sasuke waved enthusiastically as he was taken away by his big brother to return to their clan compound and eat lunch with his family, while Asagao wandered in the direction of his parents.

Looking up at them with his blue eyes "Home now, nappy nap" Asagao yawned exhausted from his excursion of running back and forth and hiding, his question was answered as he was scooped up and held lovingly in the arms of his mother.

Who smiled softly "Of course Asagao-kun time for a nap, I'll cook lunch and we can all eat together" Mebuki spoke gently rocking her son as they walked back to their house, by the time they reached it Asagao was already snoozing, head laying against her shoulder snoring quietly.

"Guess Sasuke-san is a good influence if he can wear our little bundle of energy out huh Mebuki" Kizashi chuckled lightly as Asagao was placed in the crib and allowed to nap, his wife nodded before turning and vanishing into the kitchen to make lunch.

By the time it was done, Asagao was awake and ready to eat, before being placed in his playpen to play with his toys until it was dinner time in which afterwards he was given his daily bath, dressed in pj's and rocked to sleep before the rest of the house settled down to get some shut eye as well.
