Le gasp

I'm updating so soon

I feel accomplished !

I saw the hits on my story spike up to about 300, so I'm pretty excited

Anyways ! ENJOY !

I did the disclaimer at the very beginning of the story, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do it before every chapter … I've seen both ways while reading stuff on FanFic

So I'll just do it now, I don't own anything except for Sonya

A month later

Sonya's PoV

"Pleeeeeeasseee!"

"No! I'm busy, there's a new Icha Icha book I need to read!"

"Pleeeeeeaaaaaasseeeee!"

"Agh, no, stop the puppy eyes! You'll get nothing from me!"

"C'mon Kakashi! I'll cook your favorite!"

"… Promise?"

"Absolutely."

"Ugh, fine. You owe me chocolate chip brownies woman."

I squealed and danced around in circles, happy that I had finally bribed Kakashi into helping me move all of our stuff into our new house.

Our new house was two stories, 3 bathrooms, 5 rooms, a large den, and a HUGE kitchen. Complete with a big backyard that had a patio!

"I'm so excited about the patio! Now I can put rocking chairs out there, and just shove the boys outside so that they can release their pent up energy that all 6 year olds somehow possess! I swear, if we could bottle Naruto's energy, we could rule the world!" I gushed out. I was so happy for a new house. It was pretty expensive, but I still bought it, with the promise of upside-down strawberry cake for Kakashi to help me buy 2 new beds.

Kakashi's visible eyebrow just rose as he looked at me.

I stuck out my tongue at him, too happy to care about the fact I probably looked like a raving lunatic.

I hoisted a large box into my hands, and walked into my new house, settling it down in the barren den.

"Who knew I had so much stuff. I never realized the things I could accumulate after only 3 years …" There were an awful lot of boxes. And they were awfully heavy.

Kakashi just grunted from behind me, and I saw him walk in with 3 big boxes stacked up in his arms.

"Uhm, do be careful Kakashi. You realize there's no need to bring in so many at once right?"

He just glared at me.

"The faster I move all of your crap into your house, the faster we can get done, and the faster you can cook me dinner and brownies."

I just blinked, and then started laughing. I held my stomach as I bent over laughing.

"Heheheh, I love your logic Kakashi. The faster we get done, the faster I can make you brownies! Hah, mom was right when she said the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." I continued to laugh, before it slowly dissolved into giggles. I looked up to see Kakashi giving me a look that could kill, even if his cheeks had the faintest blush on them. He crossed his arms, and I got the impression that he was pouting.

"It isn't funny. You know I'm too lazy to cook, and you make the best brownies."

I just laughed more and walked over and pinched his cheek.

"You're so cute when you pout Kakashi."

He blushed more and I just laughed as I walked out to get more boxes.

Kakashi's PoV

That woman was infuriating.

'First she bribes me, not once, but twice, to help her out with her new house. And now she's sitting here, laughing at me.'

I reached my hand up to rub the spot where she pinched my cheek.

'She called me cute … I wonder if she means it …'

I shook my head, trying to dispel the thought.

'I'm not cute. I'm a killer, a ninja, why would I be cute? She's probably just teasing me …'

I lifted my hand up again to rub the spot where she touched me.

'But still … maybe …'

I shook my head again, and went outside to gather more boxes.

'The brownies had better be worth the trouble I go through for this woman …'

Sonya's PoV

"Ok Naruto and Gaara, go pick out a room for yourselves, so that Kakashi and I know where to put your boxes at."

Naruto raced up the stairs gleefully and ran into the hallway where he ran all the way to the end and picked the very first room. Gaara walked silently and slower up the stairs, but I did see a look of curiosity on his face. There were three rooms upstairs. The stairs were located at the right end of the den, and led into a hallway that hooked left. There were three bedrooms, all adjacent to one another, and at the very end of the hallway, all the way to the left was a fairly decent sized bathroom. Al the way to the right of the hallway was the washroom. Gaara slowly padded down the hallway and choose the room in the very middle. It was right next to Naruto's, which is the reason why I'm guessing he picked it. Despite the boys only having known each other for about a month, Naruto had taken it upon himself to be Gaara's buddy in whatever he did. And Gaara for that matter was Naruto's shadow. Wherever Naruto ran off to, Gaara wasn't very far behind, often silently walking behind him as Naruto ranted on and on about something.

There were two grandmaster bedrooms on the first floor. To the left side of the den, there was a hallway that led back. At the very end of the hallway, there was a door that led to the backyard patio of the house. On the right and left sides of the hallway is where the rooms where. Each room had a large bathroom connected to it. I choose the left one, and I let Kakashi have the right one to crash in after missions or when he came over to hang out.

"Mom! I call dibs on the left one!" Naruto's voice jarred me out of my thoughts.

"Alright! I'll be up there in a minute! Kakashi, could you being Gaara's boxes to the room next to Naruto's?"

He gave me a nod and we proceeded to haul the boxes upstairs into the boys' bedrooms. Naruto was sitting on the windowsill, looking out at the backyard with his face pressed up to the glass. There was a big goofy grin on his face, and I could tell that he was just as excited as me about moving. I smiled, happy to know I did something right with buying this house.

"Like the new house kiddo?" I asked, after setting his boxes down.

"Yes! It's soooo much bigger! Look at the backyard, it's huuuuge!" He turned around and jumped at me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Thanks mom!" Just as quickly as he hugged me, he let go and I heard him clatter into Gaara's room.

I grinned, absolutely beaming with happiness at Naruto's encouraging response.

I carefully pulled the chicken out of the oven, and placed it on top of the kitchen counter. I decided a full cooked chicken with mashed potatoes would be a good housewarming dinner. Afterwards I would start baking Kakashi's long awaited brownies. I brought out the plates and started setting the table.

"Boys! Dinner is ready!"

Kakashi and both of my boys were outside. I had forbidden anyone from coming into the kitchen while I cooked, knowing that Naruto gets underway, and Kakashi would whine until he was fed. Gaara could actually prove to be helpful in the kitchen, but I shooed him out anyways to go play with Naruto. Kakashi was probably outside sulking and plotting revenge on me for making him wait so long. For such a lazy man he could be awfully impatient at times.

Within seconds I heard the patio door open and shut and then heard two running sets of feet and another soft patter down the hall. Within no time I saw Kakashi and Naruto round the corner, Gaara not far behind. As they settled themselves down at the table I rolled my eyes.

"You'd think I starved you with the way you came rushing in."

"I wouldn't put it past you." Kakashi retorted.

I leveled him a glare.

"For that comment , I might have to reconsider baking those brownies after we finish eating."

Kakashi's eyes widened in horror, and he quieted down.

"Enjoy our very first meal in our new house!" I proclaimed with a shout and smile.

Everyone began eating immediately (except for Kakashi, he'd wait until we became distracted before he wolfed down his meal). Naruto rambled on about some prank he wanted to pull, and I heard Gaara give some insight on his plans. I shuddered to think the horror my boys would unleash. I'd already gotten a few complaints within the last few weeks about some small scale pranks that Naruto had set up around the village. I wasn't overly worried though, so long as he didn't do anything overly dangerous. I had taken a seat next to Kakashi and we were discussing the beds we would buy.

"Well, Naruto and Gaara both have twin sized beds, so I think I'd get another one of those for the bedroom upstairs, and another king for the other grandmaster bedroom for you."

I had finished eating so I got up to put my plate in the sink and started pulling out a pan and mixing bowl for the brownies.

"I think that would be best." I heard Kakashi behind me get the rest of the necessary ingredients.

I started to get put the batter into the bowl and add milk, and I started to stir while I waited for Kakashi to get the eggs. Then I heard a wet 'smack' sound behind me. Alarmed, I spun around, to be encountered with a very guilty looking Kakashi and a smashed egg on the floor. Without thinking I took some of the batter and flicked it at Kakashi.

"Argh, this really is a housewarming dinner. Congratulations Kakashi you get to be the first one to clean a mess up in my house."

I turned around and proceeded to get the rest of my things organized, when I felt something go 'splat' on the back of my head. Instinctively my hand flew up to grasp whatever hit me, and my fingers encountered something slimy. I realized it was egg. If that how Kakashi wanted to play, then I was all game. I hunched my shoulders over to try and give him the impression I was upset. It worked perfectly.

"Sonya, I'm really sor-"

That was all he got off before I spun around and threw a fistful of mixed brownie batter into his face.

His expression was priceless. I had managed to land the batter on his cheek and it had smeared across his face and nose. His eye was completely widened in shock, and he had his hand outreached still, probably was going to grab my shoulder to make me feel better. I bit my lip but couldn't stop a small giggle from escaping my lips.

His eye darted back to me, and I saw his face turn into an evil smirk.

The battle was on.

I quickly turned around to grab more batter. I turned back around to throw it at him but I was bombarded with eggs. I screeched and hooted with laughter. I took the entire bowl and threw it at him. He let out a yell of laughter too. I looked around for anything else. I took my milk jug and splashed him with it. He retaliated by taking the batter and dumping it on my head. We were both roaring with laughter, looking for more things to throw at each other. I was laughing so hard that I didn't see the still smashed egg on the floor. I stepped on it and began slipping. I saw Kakashi wrap his arms around my waist to try and stop me, but I think that only succeeded in me falling on top of him onto the ground. We landed with a 'thunk'. A bit dazed still, I looked to make sure Kakashi was ok. When I lifted my head up, my thoughts completely frazzled. He was already looking at me, and his face was close enough to mine that our noses were touching. I felt heat rise to my face, but without thinking I started laughing again. I felt more than heard the laughter rumble through Kakashi's chest. Still giggling I rested my head on his chest, trying to catch my breath from laughing so hard.

I heard two sets of feet running into the kitchen.

"Mommy! Are you ok?" I heard Naruto yell.

With a start, I lifted my head off of Kakashi's chest. Naruto was with Gaara, looking extremely alarmed. Gaara was staring at Kakashi with a frown on his face.

Quickly I tried to lift myself up off of Kakashi, which was a bit hampered by the fact that he still had his arms around my waist.

"Hah, yeah I'm fine sweetie. Me and Kakashi were just … playing. We had a food fight." I managed to say after I finally got off the floor.

"Ewwww, you're both covered in slimy stuff. You need a bath!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Hah, yeah, we do, don't we?" I asked with a laugh.

"Hmm, I do think I agree with Naruto." Kakashi commented.

I shooed Naruto and Gaara out of the kitchen so that they wouldn't create an even bigger mess. Naruto left happily, not wanting to get dirty, but Gaara gave Kakashi a wary look before leaving.

I had egg shells and slime all over me, with brownie mix in my hair. Kakashi had brownie mix all over, and the front of his shirt and pants were soaked were I had splashed him with milk.

"We are quite the pair aren't we?" I asked with a small giggle.

Kakashi just let out a small laugh and nodded.

"I haven't had that much fun with another person my age in … well years." I admitted. I had lots of fun with Naruto over the years, and now with Gaara. But I didn't really associate with people my own age. I think Kakashi was really my own friend, though I got along great with Gai and Iruka. And I was actually older than Kakashi by about two or three years.

"Me either. I don't even think I've ever gotten in a food fight before." Kakashi also admitted.

"Thanks Kakashi." I said after a few moments.

"For what?" He asked, confused.

"For being here. For being my friend." I walked over and planted a small peck on his cheek before walking past him into my room.

Kakashi's PoV

I lifted my hand to where she kissed me.

'She … kissed me.' I thought, dazed.

'I'm probably blushing like a school boy with his first crush …' I realized.

Slowly, I felt my face break into a grin, and before I realized it, I let out a loud cheer.

Ahhhh! So exciting! She got a new house!
I love moving, I've moved around all my life because I'm a military brat, so I'm pretty used to it.

New places are fun and exciting!

There's a weird linebreak at the very top of the page, and I didn't mean to put it there, but somehow it got there. Oh well. It may not be there when I upload it.

ANYWAYS! I hope you guys enjoyed it! This is actually the longest chapter yet.

I try and put about 1 thousand words per chapter, so that you're not reading like 8 pages every chapter. Though it's like every chapter is about 4-5 pages long with me typing it in microsoft word.

I went through and re-read some chapters and to my ultimate dismay there's some typos.

I realize probably every writer doesn't spell something right or what not, but for some odd reason it really bothers me.

Probably because my 6th grade teacher drilled so much grammar and other crap into my brain that it's scarred me for life ...

Hmm, not suprising ...

So anyways, I'll probably be editing some stuff in my spare time, if I'm not typing up the next chapter

Thanks for reading! Review if you have the time! :)
