lostmoonchild: I know, it's Saturday and not Friday. I could blame work but that'd be a lie. So ya'll remember back in October when I was freaking out over making five cloaks for Halloween? Well, I got a request to make a Batman cloak from the mom of four of the five kids so I had to do a rush job. It turned out pretty good in my opinion and since I just finished it, here's the new chapter! Thanks for the review(s) and I've decided to simply stop addressing the yaoi thing. If people don't want to look at the warnings then I'm not gonna bother pointing them out. To quote my dad: "Look before you complain."

Chapter Thirty Seven
"So you're leaving, huh?" Akina questioned a few days later as she and Naruto watched the two children play.
"Yeah. The other Bijuu need to get put in their hosts and the only way they'll go willingly is if Hi-Hi goes too."
Akina smiled softly as she watched the girl flip Kenji only to get tackled by the boy. It was always funny to watch kunoichi in training go against a shinobi in training. "I wanna thank you for being such a gentlemen that night." Akina said with a small blush as she fuzzily remembered the make out session she and Naruto had after retreating to her house for more drinks. "I think most guys would purposely get me wasted just for a romp in the sack."
Naruto fidgeted slightly before answering, "Well, I like you and I'm fairly certain every female friend I have would make it a point to beat the crap out of me if I behaved less than gentlemanly."
"You… like me?" There was disbelief in the woman's eyes.
"Yeah. Even Hi-Hi likes you and actually made it a point to tell me that she does." Naruto glanced at her. "I know long distance relationships usually don't work but maybe we can give it a try?"
Akina smiled faintly, her blush deepening. "I'm nothing special. I mean, you could have any girl you wanted and you're choosing a one-armed woman?" Akina asked softly. "Naruto, are you insane?"
"There's people that love to call me an idiot but I think I'd really be an idiot if I let such an amazing woman slip by."
She couldn't remember the last time a man had ever told her such a thing. Not even Kenji's father had ever said such words to her and actually looks as if he meant it. "Naruto." Akina said softly, her eyes growing moist.
"I don't know what exactly Kenji's father told you for however long you guys were married but I can tell you right now that I'm nothing like him. If you want to give us a try then we can do the typical letters and occasional visits."
"I'd like that." Akina said softly. "Do you know when you're leaving?"
"Day after tomorrow. Gaara wants the whole day with Hisoka for some godfather slash goddaughter time."
"That child's going to be one dangerous woman when she grows up." Akina laughed softly. "I almost feel sorry for the poor bastards that go up against her."
"I'm already feeling sorry for her Jounin teacher."
Akina gave him a suggestive look before answering, "Well, since you guys are leaving day after tomorrow, how about we have a little sleepover? I'm sure Kenji and Hisoka would love it and we could have a little fun of our own."
"Do not say no!" Kyuubi warned the blonde. "If you do, I swear I'm going to make sure you have wet dreams for the next year!"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head before answering, "Well, if we're gonna give a relationship a try then I think you'd better know that every so often, I get suggestions from Kyuubi."
"Okay…"
"And right now he's warning me not to turn down your invitation or face a year's worth of wet dreams."
Akina laughed in response, her eyes dancing with laughter. "Then I suppose we'd better spare you." Akina laughed softly.
"Please."
The two adults smiled softly at each other before turning their attention back to the kids. It was amusing to watch them practice their ninjutsu together, giving the other tips. When they switched over to taijutsu, Naruto almost started laughing at how quickly they took to wrestling. "We'll let them wear themselves out. Then we'll tell them." Akina said softly.
"Sleepover?"
"Yep."
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Thwack.
Giggles left the two children's lips as they hit each other with pillows, knowing that sooner or later their parents would come in and tell them to knock it off. Neither one could believe it when their parents had said that they were all going to be sleeping in the same house but now they didn't want to do anything else. "How come your mom said my dad could sleep over too?" Hisoka questioned.
"I don't know. Mom's never let any grownups stay over ever since my dad walked out."
"Maybe your mom likes my dad."
"She smiles a lot more. Does your dad like my mom?"
"I think so. Kyuu-chan says that we need to be big kids and not feel threatened cause grownups need special kinds of love that only other grownups should give. Kankuro says that grownups have a special hug that can make babies."
Kenji's eyes widened. "Do you think they'll make a baby?" Kenji questioned. "I'd like a little brother but a sister would be cool too."
"I don't think so. He said there was another hug that was fun but only grownups should do."
The two children glanced towards the door, each one wondering what exactly the two adults were going to do. They knew better than trying to sneak in seeing as both adults were trained shinobi but they couldn't help but wonder what exactly would happen. "C'mon, we should probably get ready for bed. Mom gets scary when I'm not ready for bed when I'm supposed to." Kenji said as he helped Hisoka up.
The girl nodded slightly, neither one saying anything as they got changed. Kenji glanced over at the girl and saw the scar on her stomach with his curiosity immediately peaking. "What happened?" Kenji questioned.
"Hmm?"
"That." The boy pointed before adding, "Your scar."
Hisoka fidgeted slightly as she put her pajama top on before answering, "I got hit by a jutsu and the doctor in Konoha had to cut me open to fix what was broken."
"Oh. Sorry."
"That's okay. Daddy says that it's proof I'm a fighter so I shouldn't be ashamed of it."
They finished dressing in silence and had just gotten back from brushing their teeth when Akina and Naruto came into the room. "See? I told you they'd be ready for bed when we came in." Akina said with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah. Tired, Hi-Hi?"
"You always tell me that I need to follow house rules when I'm at someone else's house." Hisoka responded.
"Point to you." Akina said with a laugh as she looked at Naruto.
The blonde grinned as he tucked Hisoka into the bed, watching out of the corner of his eye as Akina did the same. "Good night, my little one." Naruto said softly as he kissed his daughter's forehead.
"Good night, Daddy. I love you."
"I love you too."
Akina smiled as she stroked Kenji's hair, her eyes tender. "Sweet dreams, honey." Akina told him. "Angels are watching over you."
"And demons are watching over Hisoka-chan." Kenji said with a grin.
"Exactly!" Hisoka giggled.
"Okay, you two. It's time for bed now." Akina replied gently. "I love you, little monkey-man."
"Ooh ooh ah ah." Kenji laughed as his mother tucked him into bed. "Wanna know what that means?"
"What?"
"I love you too."
"Okay, good night and sleep tight."
Hisoka's eyes widened slightly when Akina brushed her fingers through her hair. She glanced over and saw the same surprise on Kenji's face as Naruto made sure he was tucked snugly into bed. When both adults left the room, the two children shifted so they were looking at each other. "I think they like each other a lot more than just liking." Kenji whispered.
"Yeah. They act like we're the other's kid too."
"Weird. My dad never did stuff like that before."
"I don't know if Momma did that when I was a baby so it's new to me. Are all moms like that?"
"No clue. I think so though."
"Good night, you two!" Naruto called from the living room.
Both children giggled as their fingers entwined with each other, their eyes growing heavy as they steadily drifted off to sleep. If this was what a complete family was like then they each wanted to keep it for as long as possible.
Naruto smiled as he and Akina listened for sounds of the children talking, feeling the woman shift slightly against him. "I'll check." Akina said softly as she got up. "Kenji doesn't always fall asleep so easily but he falls asleep so easily after he's played with Hisoka."
"Yeah, she's a bundle of energy." Naruto chuckled as he got up. "I'll check too."
"I've got it. Just make yourself at home."
Naruto felt his heart race as the woman placed a soft kiss on his lips, his eyes holding surprise as she slipped away to check on the children. He'd be lying if he didn't find her to be the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. She was absolutely perfect in his eyes and he'd be sure to show her exactly what he thought.
Surprise crossed his features when she appeared again and straddled his lap, her arm wrapping around his neck as she smiled. "I take it they're out cold?" Naruto questioned.
"I don't think they'll be waking up during the night." Akina responded softly, her breath warm against his lips.
Their lips clashed together in a battle for dominance, their hunger washing away all logic. Naruto gripped the woman's hips tightly as they kissed, relishing in the way her body pressed against and molded against his. "Bedroom." Naruto told her. "I don't know about you but I'd rather not chance the kids waking up and seeing us."
Akina smiled softly as she nodded in understanding, her desire burning brightly in her green eyes. She slipped from the blonde's lap and held his hand as she led him to her room. Chills of excitement went down her spine when Naruto would place soft kisses against her neck and shoulders as they walked, her eyes closing when his large hands would brush against her skin and leave behind a tingling feeling.
No sooner had they gotten to her room and shut the door behind them did their lips clashed together in a battle for dominance once again.
