His idea of a good time certainly didn’t consist of guiding two children through a full and busy marketplace. There were a few stragglers, but not nearly as many as during the day when all the shops were open. A small hand in each palm, Neji continued through the now empty street, nodding his head at those who would wave at him. They even stopped once when a man closing his shop gave his two children a little treat during their trip for free as he didn’t want them to spoil. Needless to say, Hizashi and Emiko had been very happy with their dangos. The Hyuuga smiled at his children as they continued on their trek. Two years after having Hizashi, Neji and Shikamaru had decided that they wanted to have a second child. They had been very fortunate to even have Hizashi, but if they could, they wanted a second. Little did they know there was just the right opportunity waiting for them. The scientists were always willing to gather more data on that certain experiment and eagerly accepted the idea. Nine months later, Emiko had been born. She had been born far more quickly than Hizashi and like her brother, had a shockingly large amount of hair on her head. It was a lighter shade however, which was quickly associated with Shikamaru. Her skin was also a good dark tan, though her eyes were exactly like Neji’s and her brother’s. To Neji’s surprise she had weaned far more quickly then Hizashi had, being content to drink from a bottle in less than a year. Emiko was almost exactly like Hinata in her younger days. Only Neji and Shikamaru made sure to tell her she was wonderful and loved everyday, despite the training she received. Neji would not have a repeat of what his cousin had been, the shy trembling teenager who could barely even speak to anyone. He loved Hinata with all his heart, but he would do what he could to give his daughter more confidence and love. Emiko still tended to be rather shy, but Neji let it pass for now as she was only two years old. Hizashi, on the other hand, was as lazy as his father at times. Oh, he had energy and was more then willing to use it when it came to training and even doing a few other things, but would laze about doing nothing when he wasn’t doing either of those. He had a great thirst for knowledge and at the age of four was already beginning to be able to read fluently. He had begun to learn at an early age and as soon as he was able had picked up his first book and started sounding the words out. Little frustrated their boy from a task he gave himself. “Papa, look! It’s grandpa!” Hizashi was tugging excitably on his hand, trying to get him to go faster. Raising his eyes, Neji found Hiashi sitting not to far from them on a park bench. The elder Hyuuga had immediately adopted Hizashi and Emiko as his own grandchildren, ignoring the Hyuuga clan elders protest for not placing a mark on the children’s foreheads. It was obvious that they would be able to use the Byakugan, but under the Nara name there was no way they could touch the two and neither Hiashi or Neji would be cowed into placing the seal on the children’s heads. “Grandpa! Grandpa!” Hizashi immediately let go of Neji’s hand, running to the elderly man excitedly. Hiashi smiled when he realized who was coming his way and held out his hands to the four year old. He had been rather stunned to learn that the boy was named after his twin brother, but it made his bond all the more stronger with the child. Laughing softly, he lifted the boy onto his knee, hugging him close despite the sticky treat in his hands. “Grandpa, guess what I learned about today!” the boy beamed, bouncing on the elder Hyuuga’s leg. “Hm, I don’t know,” Hiashi grinned. “Why don’t you tell me?” Hizashi did just that, telling him how he had read all he could on sedimentary rocks and how they were usually made of sand. He continued on as Neji and Emiko made their way over. Neji waited till Hizashi was done talking, smiling at how excited the boy was the share the information he had learned. When Hiashi’s eyes turned to him, he bowed low in greeting, as was custom. There were some things that one simply couldn’t forget. “Good afternoon, Neji,” Hiashi smiled. “Or should I say good evening? Is it that time?” “I think afternoon is appropriate, uncle,” Neji nodded. “Emiko, do you want to say hello?” The girl blushed slightly, but nodded, slowly walking forward to the man she called grandpa. Hiashi smiled as he brought her up to his other knee, grunting softly as he did so. “I’m getting too old for this. Hinata shared some exciting news with me today. They did some tests and found out that she’s going to have a girl.” Neji’s eyes widened. “Really? How exciting. Emiko will have someone to play with then as they grow older.” Hiashi nodded, grinning as the two on his knees began to lick their fingers clean. “Messy children. What is your father giving you?” “Papa didn’t give it to us,” Hizashi said in a matter of fact tone. “The nice man in the street did.” At Hiashi’s raised eyebrow Neji explained the vendor getting rid of things that would go to waste, earning an approving nod from his uncle. Neji joined his uncle on the bench, taking Hizashi onto his lap once he was settled. The two talked about many things, such as Hanabi’s wedding engagement, Hinata’s unborn child, and the Hyuuga elders. The last was talked about in hushed tones and Neji knew the man was growing weary with those that were left alive. “It won’t be long until I’m one of them,” Hiashi sighed sadly. “You’ll be sure to correct me if I ever become like them, won’t you?” Neji smiled sympathetically. “I don’t know if would have the guts to do so, uncle.” “Then maybe my grandchildren could do that for me,” Hiashi laughed, which got him two sticky hands on his cheeks as Emiko played with his whiskers. After the older Hyuuga helped his grandchildren clean off their hands, as well as his own face, he earned himself a kiss from Emiko, who blushed and ran to her father’s side shortly after having done so. Both adults merely chuckled softly as Hizashi gave his grandpa a large hug around the legs. Once they had all bowed politely, they left, the children waving as they walked away. Now that they were clean, Neji wasn’t afraid to grab their hands again. After a little longer more, Neji came to the Uchiha district. Walking underneath the restored arch, he made his way to the home Naruto and Sasuke had inhabited - the one the Uchiha had grown up in. The Hokage and his lover had decided that it would be the most suitable of all the homes and all things that had to deal with bad memories were quickly removed. The Hokage had quickly explained that he would not allow his lover to brood while they lived together. 9 months after Hizashi had been born, the Uchiha had gained a set of twins, something that neither he nor Naruto had been expecting. There was one boy and one girl and though twins they looked nothing alike. The girl, Kiyomi, had Naruto’s blonde hair, though her skin was as fair as Sasuke. She also had the dark Uchiha eyes, which Sasuke had expected. Traces of the Sharingan were already showing and her spirit was strong. The boy Tadashi, however, had shocked both men to the core. His hair was raven black, like Sasuke and his skin fair. But his eyes were the brilliant blue of Naruto and at the age of one he had shown signs of the Sharingan as well. This puzzled anyone who tried to explain it, but there was no way of knowing if this would affect the boy’s abilities with the bloodline trait. Only time would tell and as soon as they were in the ninja academy, both Naruto and Sasuke would be doing everything they could to help both their children progress. As they drew closer to Naruto’s home, Neji wasn’t surprised to feel a pair of chakra signatures, who were obviously trying to hide themselves. Hizashi, no doubt, didn’t notice them, and considering how old he was it wasn’t a surprise. The Hyuuga merely continued to trek with his children, knowing that Kiyomi and Tadashi would want to try and ambush at least Hizashi. As he expected, two play kunai shot out from behind one of the houses, followed by some plastic toy shuriken. He smirked. Only ninjas would give their children such toys. Hizashi proved to be quick on his toes however. He easily dodged the kunai and like Neji had taught him, used the Hyuuga fighting style to block the shuriken with ease. It made the Hyuuga proud to see this and Emiko stared in awe at her sibling. Hizashi merely puffed out his chest when Kiyomi and Tadashi revealed themselves, giggling and laughing as they ran up to the four year old. Even though he was only nine months older, they still looked up to him. “Wow, where did you learn to do that?” Kiyomi asked, her dark eyes wide with awe. “Papa taught me,” Hizashi grinned. “I learned it last week!” “Cool! Can you teach me how to do that?” Tadashi asked, smiling largely. Neji watched as his oldest shook his head. “Nope. It’s a family secret. I can’t tell you.” “Aw, come on!” Kiyomi pleaded as they continued towards their house. “I won’t tell! Promise!” “Now, Kiyomi, it wouldn’t be a secret if he told you and ninjas have very good ears. Someone could spread the news around the village.” Naruto smiled at his daughter as he opened the door to let them all in. “Besides, you father said he’d teach you some stuff when he gets home from his mission.” “Oh yeah!” the blonde girl grinned. “I can’t wait!” “She’s definitely got your spirit for training,” Neji smirked, bowing his head politely as they entered. The Hokage beamed. “What would you expect? She’s my kid! Tadashi is just as eager to train. He’s just less vocal about it.” The Hyuuga smiled. “At least we know our children will make good teammates for the future, right?” He watched as Tadashi and Hizashi ran towards the living room, Emiko shyly following Kiyomi as they walked in the same direction. Despite his daughter’s shyness, Kiyomi had turned out to be an excellent friend for her, taking her shyness in her stride and becoming the two years olds fondest friend. Even if she didn’t do much talking. Naruto nodded. “Well, dinner’s almost ready. I just have to finish up a few things.” “Shall I help you?” Neji asked. “Nah, it’s really a one person job,” the blonde shrugged. “Besides, Sasuke will get home soon, which means Shikamaru will be too.” The Hyuuga nodded. “That’s right. He said he’d join us as soon as he cleaned himself up.” The two adults continued to chat as their children played on the floor. Naruto, indeed, did have most of the dinner done and by the time Neji had gotten all the children in their seats, the blonde was carrying stuff over and setting it on the table. Taking a seat by his daughter, who was thankfully on a booster seat, Neji made sure that Hizashi was going to behave at the table before relaxing into his seat. Being a parent was a lot of work. “Kiyomi! Don’t eat before anyone else,” Naruto scowled, lightly smacking his daughter’s hand. The blonde girl merely scowled in return, sticking out her tongue as she rubbed her ‘wounded’ hand. Once the Hokage had settled himself in his seat, dinner began, the adults scoping up their children’s dishes before getting their own. Once the kids were happily eating their food, Neji and Naruto served themselves, only to pause before they actually started. “They’re back,” Naruto smiled. Almost right on cue, Sasuke walked into the room, smirking when a chorus of “Daddy!” met his ears. Chuckling softly, he bent down and pressed kisses to his children’s foreheads before ushering them back to their seats. When they were once again paying attention to their food, he took his spot next to Naruto, smiling as he did so. Neji continued to watch over his own children, making sure they weren’t being too messy. He could only be grateful that Naruto had had a bib for his daughter. A small grin crawled on Neji’s face when a familiar chakra signature came closer. Leaning his head back, he wasn’t surprised to find a pair of lips pressing against his own. Shikamaru smiled as he pulled away, ruffling Hizashi’s hair before sitting down himself. The four year old and groaned and grabbed his head, pouting when his father merely chuckled. Emiko grinned happily as he sat before turning her eyes back to her food. “Thanks for having us over for dinner,” the Nara stated. “It gives our children a chance to bond,” Naruto shrugged. “Besides, when was the last time we had dinner together?” Neji flushed deeply, glowering at his spouse when Shikamaru and Sasuke began to snicker. If he had thought the roast incident had been bad, nothing could have prepared him for the last meal they had shared together. Not only had the Nara spiked their drinks with an aphrodisiac, but Hizashi had thrown up on Sasuke’s lap, which later turned out to be the flu. The Hyuuga had never been so embarrassed in his life, despite how wonderful the sex that evening had been. “So, how’d the mission go?” the blonde asked, doing his best not to join the others in their amusement. “You’ll get a full report tomorrow, dobe,” the Uchiha replied. “Not that you’ll read it.” “Teme,” Naruto hissed, before covered his mouth. Flushing slightly he turned to his children. “Don’t you ever repeat that word, understand?” Neji had to admit he was impressed. If that was the first slip Naruto or Sasuke had made around their children, it was certainly admirable. Kiyomi and Tadashi merely nodded, though a mischievous twinkle sparkled in their eyes. Hizashi looked as if he wanted to ask what the word had meant, but after receiving a level stare from Shikamaru, he gave up the question. For the time being anyway. Neji was sure he’d be asking about it later. Once the meal was finished and cleaned up, the children returned to their games on the floor. Neji was about to go sit on the couch when Shikamaru pulled him closer and immediately began to smother his neck with kisses. The Hyuuga flushed a dark red, though didn’t do anything to break away. His face only went darker when Naruto’s snicker reached his ears. Only then did he start to pull away, grumbling about the Nara being too clingy. Shikamaru smirked and leaned closer to his ear. “I thought you liked it when I’m…clingy.” The white eyed nin bit his lip to stop any noises when he felt his husband thrust against him. Turning to face the other, he glared. “Not here!” “What if I told you that I got us some alone time right now?” the Nara asked, glancing over at Sasuke, who merely nodded in reply. “They’ll watch the kids for us for a little while.” “But-“ “Dad! Leave papa alone! You’re doing gross stuff again!” Turning, the pair looked at their oldest child, who had a grimace of disgust on his face. Smirking, Shikamaru suddenly dipped his spouse before planting a passionate, yet chaste kiss on Neji’s lips. Trying not to giggle, Neji returned the action, breaking into a soft fit of laughter when Hizashi’s disgusted noises reached his ears. Emiko looked as if she simply didn’t understand what was going on, though Kiyomi and Tadashi looked intrigued. “Wow,” the blonde girl stated. “Daddy, how come you never kiss papa like that?” “Because papa doesn’t like to be dipped,” Sasuke replied evenly, earning a squawk from his blonde lover. “You two go and have fun. We’ll keep an eye on your kids. Take your time.” Shikamaru merely nodded his thanks before he made the seals for the proper jutsu. The next thing Neji knew they were in their bedroom. Scowling at his husband, Neji tried to put his hands on his hips, though his arms were locked to his sides. He settled simply for a light glare. “You shouldn’t have asked them to do that.” The Nara sighed before nuzzling his lover’s cheek. “Neji, when was the last time you and I made love?” Blushing, the white eyed nin tried to push away again. “Th-That’s not the point, Shikamaru!” “Please, akanbou?” the younger nin pleaded, lettings his hands start to rub over his spouse’s arms. “I’ve wanted this for a while. I miss it.” Neji’s eyes fluttered as the other’s attentions continued. He had always been weak to Shikamaru’s pleas. Finally he nodded his head. “B-but we can’t take long. We have to get the kids before-“ Huffing, the Nara pulled away and looked in his lover’s eyes. “Forget the kids for the moment, okay? Let me worry about the time. Now strip and get on the bed. I’m very anxious to ravish the body of yours. I haven’t had the chance to properly do that in a while.” Letting a shiver race down his spine, the older nin snickered. “Eager?” Shikamaru raised a brow before he cupped Neji’s groin, massaging the other member and sac, pulling a sharp gasp from the Hyuuga’s lips. “What do you think?” After that, Neji was only able to moan and cry out in pleasure, enjoying the night just as much as his spouse. He was even lucky enough to have the other’s shadows once again join the party, which only added to the height of the moment. He hadn’t had a love making session like this in at least a year. He was suddenly very glad that his husband had decided to ask the Uchiha to watch their children. They’d have to make sure and return the favor soon. As they lay in their bed after the afterglow, Neji had to bite down the urge to glance at the clock. He could trust his lover on this, just as he had before. Settling in closer, he nuzzled the warm body next to him, smiling when tan arms wrapped around him. This had made the entire moment worth it. Yes, he and Shikamaru still cuddled in bed, but it had been while since they had done so with the after glow of a good round of sex. “Feeling content?” Neji asked, tilting his head upwards. Shikamaru shrugged. “I don’t know. Doing this made me realize what I’m missing out on all the time.” The Hyuuga rolled his eyes. “Well, just appreciate the fact that you got to do it.” Smiling, the younger nin wiggled downwards till he was face to face with his lover. “You’re so easy to tease. We’ll go get the kids in fifteen minutes, okay? I just want to stay like this with you for a little while longer.” Sighing softly, Neji shook his head. “Damn, lazy Nara.” “Uptight Hyuuga.” “You wouldn’t have me any other way.” A soft kiss to his lips was Shikamaru’s reply. “No, I wouldn’t. Not shut up and let me rest.” They ended up lying there for more then fifteen minutes, but for them it was worth it. Their children were ready for bed by the time they returned home and once asleep, the two fell back into their own bed. Neji snuggled closer once they were comfortable and couldn’t help but think how fortune had blessed him. It had given him trials and through time he could finally see how those played out in his life. Grinning when Shikamaru gently kissed his forehead, Neji could easily say that he was content. This was all he needed. ~The End~ ****************************************************************** Thanks for reading everyone. :) Hope you enjoyed the last story and I had fun writing it!
