Still own nothing but the ocs.


Five years later…

Gaara

Things have calmed down since the fight with Kabuto. Momo had given birth to a girl months later. We named her Hazuki. One of the nice things about our kids, is that the children in the village were not afraid of them. There were many times I would watch them play with other children and I would end up in a conversation with a parent of another child. It took me a while to get use to having a conversation with another person and not having to worry if they were afraid of me too. The hollows didn't appear as much as they use to. Momo would go out on patrol for a short while every night but she didn't stay out too long. The shadows around my eyes have practically vanished. At times it was odd to see myself without the dark shadows around my eyes. Momo was happy that I was sleeping better.

Every few years there would be a gokage summit, this year was one of them. This year it was mostly about working on communicating with each other and to keep peace. It was nice to return home from the gokage summit. I followed Temari and Kankurō as we passed through the gates when I heard someone yelling. We saw my children running towards us.

"Daddy, Daddy!" cried Hazuki. "Momma said that we could come and meet you when you came back."

I knelt down to pick up her up. She had black hair with red streaks in it and bright green eyes. I could see my siblings trying hard not to laugh. They keep telling me that my kids have made me soft.

"Have you been good, Hazuki?" I asked as she giggled. She wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a hug. She pushed my hair away from my forehead and kissed the kanji.

"Of course she has and she's been playing with Kiyoto and Risa. We've missed you," said Momo. I looked up to see Kiyoto being chased by Risa.

"Dad! Look at what I taught Risa to do!" said Kiyoto as he stopped. "Risa, jump!"

Risa meowed and then jumped up to sit on the Kiyoto's shoulder. Risa has become attached to Kiyoto and follows him everywhere.

"That is very impressive." I said. "How is your training going?"

"Baki said that I'm doing well. He wants me to be tested to be a genin soon." he said excitedly. "Then I will train harder to be able to take the chūnin exams!"

"Kiyoto, why don't you and Hazuki run along and play, I'm sure your father is tired from his mission." Momo said as she beamed at his excitement.

I put Hazuki down and she went over to give my siblings a hug. Then they ran off giggling with Risa chasing after them. Temari and Kankurō grinned as they followed the kids.

"I have missed you too." I said as I pulled Momo into a hug. We linked arms and headed home. It was good to be back home.


A fun ending to a fun story. Thanks to all who have given reviews and to those who enjoyed reading my first fan fiction.
