Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Snapshots ❯ Chapter Two ( Chapter 2 )

[ A - All Readers ]
Was bored so went and scribbled away. Second 'chapter' of Snapshots. Falling under A New Beginning's universe.

Nope, don't own. Aiko and Haya are still mine.

------------------------------------------

"Adorabl e, aren't they?"

"Hm."

Two pairs of eyes glance at each other before returning to watching the sleepers stretched across the couch.

"Should we?"

"Picture first. Blackmail material."

Rolling his eyes, he stands up and fetches the camera. Coming back, he stops at the shoulder of the other one, taking aim and snaps off two photos then ducks as a pillow soars right where his head had been.

"This means war!"

Livid brown eyes glower at them from the couch as the woman extracts herself from puppy and toddler. Snatching up another pillow, she tackles Iruka, knocking him flat even as she lands on his stomach and starts to pummel him with the pillow.

Kakashi watches on in amusement as Haya, despite acting angry, is laughing as she repeatedly hits Iruka with the cushion. A soft, sleepy 'daddy?' makes him turn and sees Aiko blinking at him. Grinning, he scoops her up and desposits her into his lap.

Aiko blinks again as she stares up at her daddy for a moment and turns her attention to the noises coming from the middle of the floor. Her eyes widen as she sees her other parents playing and quickly wiggles loose of her daddy's arms, squealing as she bolts across the room to tackle them. "Aiko play too! Aiko play too!"

Both Haya and Iruka hesitate as they look at the bouncing three year old then back at one another before matching grins spread across their faces. Aiko falls silent as if sensing danger and shrieks as she bolts for the safety of her daddy. She's too slow and quickly captured as the tickling starts. Shrieks, squeals and unburdened laughter echos through their home; Kakashi suddenly remembering a scene almost identical to this that happened over ten years ago. 'Where has the years gone?' Getting to his feet, he jumps in to even the odds and yanks Haya sideways, a wolfish grin on his face as he tickles her, his fingers knowing all her sensitive spots. The shrieks of laughter get louder, finally waking Kunai who is quick to join in, his barks and yips mixing in with the laughter.

Naruto freezes in the doorway, Sakura and Sasuke standing on either side of him and he blanches, at the sight greeting them then flushes in embarrasement. "Ehehehehe...?" He looks nervously at his teammates, worried about how they'd react to seeing his parents acting like children.

Sakura just smiles at him, the expression both reassuring and scary at the same time. "They deserve it."

"Let's just get what we came for."

"H...hai!"

As he watches the three teens race up the stairs, Kakashi mulls over how things have changed. He turns his gaze to his family, his expression softens and knows that despite the ups and downs, this is what life is all about.

"Who wants to go out to eat tonight?"
