Timeskip (4 years again)

dgregerhrf

Tatsu had given birth to two very lovely girls and a bit of a stinky boy a couple of years ago. She was still playing her 'impress me' games with Ichi, though she was much friendlier towards him. "C'mon." She said. "You're at daddy's this weekend so get your coats on." She said, hands on hips. She was still living in Konoha. Ao had forbade her from moving to Suna - especially as they had been a few steps from war. Sure enough, war had broken out - and now with children, Tatsu found herself in a state unfit for fighting anyone - though, she still worked out every day.

Oni was grumpy.

It was Natsuko's twentieth birthday, and she was actually currently in labour - giving birth to her fourth child - another son to add to the ranks of the three others. She was still working for Ai, though, obviously, had been on maternity leave a fair bit. Natsuko loved her children - and Katsu, for that matter, but often found herself wondering what her life could have been like if she'd just backed off, like Azami had told her to. Dead, probably... And for that, she was grateful - even if it meant having so many children.

***

Aiko, had tried to settle down again - this time in the snow country with her child and possibly Tsuna, which we won't know until Tyler's post, however she fell into depression easily and missed both her previous children.

###

Kimii was currently on her knees begging Yuske to stay, after an accident had happened where a very drunk Kuzuno had kissed him.

Said very drunk Kuzuno was in hospital after Kimii went commando on him.

Motozawa had gotten back with Yoko.

Yoko had gotten back with Motozawa.

Toyuki had gotten married and was currently in a domestic-abusive relationship. And for once; she was the punching bag.

Kina had slept with Kyou for the first time last night. She had attempted to, several times, but had chickened out at the last moment, when she thought of how much it would hurt Rikiya, considering she had been keeping the relationship between her and her ex-arch-enemy a secret from him.

Kana had almost completely forgotten about Xani all those years ago, she was enjoying life with her son - however, the constant reminder of the woman, whenever Kanji's other son came around was really getting on her nerves. Kana had also taken up the open slot - left by Tatsunoko - of resident goth in hell, stepping away from the light and into 'the darkness of her heart' - or something like that. She didn't get the whole concept - she had just loved those boots she had found at Tatsunoko's old bungalow.

Despite her love for Kanji, Ria had been growing rather fond of Katashi, two, and was often found hissing insults at herself for being interested in two men at the same time.

Nana was struggling keeping on top of all her files. Tatsunoko had been so good at it, and Nana had learned the hard way, that paperwork wasn't easy - and Katashi was needed for other jobs too often to ask him to deal with it.

Ichimaru had bought a house for himself in konoha and was working as an infiltration man for the war, since he could easily just pass through walls. He was heading over to tatsu's to pick up the kids. He was still a bit depressed that he and tatsu weren't together again, but still grateful for giving him another chance. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer

Ai was extremely stressed out cause of the war, but had gotten use to just being the fill in as a Hokage.

Katsu had grown extremely in all ways and was in the ranks for the war. he wasn't home that often but when he was he spent all of the time with his family, but was rather strict with his kids making them do laps and push-ups. He was grateful to Natsuko and sent letters to her weekly so she knew he was still alive xD

***

Tsuna was still living with Aiko but due to Ao and Asdis helping them kill their demon daughter he had to help out with the war.

###

Yuske was packing up ignoring kimii apologies

Motoko visited Yoko and Toza every now and then, same with Yuske and Kimii, but She had her own place and was a wrestler~ How? well she pulled some strings~

Rikiya was still unemployed but was living with his parents~

Kyou was madly in love with kina~ and was working in a resturant but he trained a lot at the gym

Kanji had been trying to fix kana's eyesight for the last four years, he had to do it in steps since she eyes just kept degenerating. He spent time with both his kids but not much

Katashi was coming and going from hell to earth to even the scales of good and bad.~ Also he was rather annoyed by Ria's attitude to him

She helped her children get their coats on. She had bought a mansion, and loved living in it.

~~~

"AAAARGHHH!!" She groaned as she pushed one last time and the rest of the baby came out.

###

"Please, Yuske!!"

~~~

Kina just got up out of Kyou's bed and stared at the floor.

"Who's a good boy~? You're a good boy~! Yes you are~"

~~~

Ria was watching Katashi lift heavy stuff. She smiled a bit.

Ichimaru waited outside of the door

"But mommy i don't wanna go to daddy's.."

~~~

"it's yet another boy~"

Unfortunately katsu was off on a misison v__v

###

"Kimii I've had enough of it." he grunted as he closed his suitcase and started to walk off

~~~

"Something wrong?" he asked watching her

"Okay..this one should make the blurriness more clear.." he said

~~~

Grunt

"Mm? Why not?" She asked, heading to the door.

The girls just played with their hair.

~~~

She sighed, but forced a smile.

###

She followed. "Yuske! Hear me out!!"

~~~

"Huh? Oh - no - not at all, really... Just Rikiya wanted to go shopping today..."

Kana just looked in Kanji's direction.

~~~

"Hey, need some help with that?" She asked.

"because he's boring..."

Waiting

~~~

"Boyfriend not in?"

###

"What? you knew it would happen kimii." he said still walking.

~~~

"oh..." he grunted with a sigh

"Here you go." he said passing it to her

~~~

"No."

"Boring?" She snorted. "How is he boring?"

~~~

"Mission..."

###

"I only did it because I NEED you, Yuske!!"

~~~

"Yeah..." She mumbled. "Do you want to come?"

She drank it.

~~~

"It looks really heavy, though."

"He takes us out too much!"

~~~

"ah, again? he's missed half his kids births."

###

"Oh really?"

~~~

"You sure you want me to?"

Kanji just watched her

~~~

"I'm fine."

"Okay." She said. "Where does he take you and why is that boring?"

~~~

"All but the first..." She corrected the doctor with a sigh.

###

"YES!!"

~~~

"I mean... I'm not ready to tell him... But you can keep your hands to yourself for a few hours, right? And I mean... I was thinking of going to see watchmen - the cinema'll be dark."

She blinked a couple of times and beamed at him.

~~~

"Awww... Okay... Well anyways - Nana told me to tell you she wanted to see you, but that was like an hour ago - so I dunno if she still does."

"the park...arcades..."

~~~

"busy guy huh?"

###

"explain that one to me." he said

~~~

"Okay." he said

"it's not perfect vision yet..but..it's better...right?"

~~~

Katashi dropped what he was doing and rushed to the office. "Sorry...Ria just told me." he said

She rolled her eyes and opened the door. "Hey." She said, smiling slightly.

~~~

"I guess..."

###

"Yuske I'm hopelessly in love with you - I needed you to love me back - I needed it!! Didn't I make you happy?"

~~~

She smiled slightly and stood up grabbing her clothes and throwing them on.

"It's amazing." She said, smiling.

~~~

"Oh don't worry about it. Just wanted a chat."

"Hey." he said smiling back. "and hey kids~"

Grumble

~~~

"Know if he'll be back soon?"

###

"Sometimes." he said "but it's was a lie kimii."

~~~

Kyou did the same

Kanji smiled back slightly

~~~

"is everything okay?"

"You look good today." She said.

~~~

"No... Why?"

###

"My feelings weren't!"

~~~

Kina just headed out into the main room.

Kana turned her attention back to her son. "One day mommy is gonna see you~"

~~~

"...Hmm... No, actually."

"You look great." he said

Makes a puking face.

~~~

"Doesn't he keep in contact?"

###

"But you forced me to love only you." he said getting to the door

~~~

Kyou followed

Kanji just smiled

~~~

"How come?"

"I always do." She said, raising an eyebrow. "Anyways... Stop taking the kids out places.

~~~

"Of course he does." She said. "But... He's always so vague in his letters..." She said. "Why are you asking anyway?"

###

"You couldn't pick! You were miserable! You drank every night - I couldn't let you be like that."

~~~

She headed to Rikiya's house.

"He's not much of a talker, is he...?" She asked.

~~~

"You're being bitchy to my sister."

"Why? the girls love it, as for Jiro..."

~~~

"Cause you're a sweet girl and you've been put throguh a lot"

###

Yuske just grumbled.

~~~

Kyou followed

"He's just a baby.." he said

~~~

"I don't like a lot of attention.."

"Yeah, Jiro's complaining." She said and snorted. "Says he doesn't like you because you're boring."

~~~

She laughed sheepishly. "I'm fine." She said.

###

"Please Yuske... Give us a chance!"

~~~

Knock knock on Rikiya's door.

"I know..." She said. "I can't wait until he's older." She said. "You should spend more time with him Kanji." She said.

~~~

"She's just trying to be nice." She said.

Ichimaru sighed "I'll think of something.." he said

~~~

"Anyways you should rest up." he said

###

"Wait...why am I leaving..this is MY home.." he grunted

~~~

"Hey~..oh..hi kyou.."

"Yo."

~~~

"Don't got a lot of time.." he said

~~~

"I know..and it's weird.."

"Anyway - come in." She said. "Have a cup of tea or something."

~~~

She nodded and was handed her new son back. She beamed down at him.

###

"Yuske!"

~~~

"I invited Kyou... Hope you don't mind - I thought... I thought maybe we could all go to the cinema..."

~~~

"You've got time now, haven't you?"

~~~

"In what sense?"

"Well if you insist." he said coming in

~~~

zZzZzZzZzZzZ

###

"what."

~~~

"Oh..um..Yeah sure.."

Kyou shifted awkwardly

~~~

Kanji yawned. "Kinda..."

~~~

"She just...watches me sometimes..."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him to one of the lounges, pushing him down onto the sofa and sitting on top of him, snogging~

###

"Please." She said. "It wasn't completely selfish."

~~~

She smiled at him. "Cool." She said. "You ready?"

~~~

"Then sit down." She said, patting the space beside her.

~~~

"Because she likes you."

Ichimaru snogged back

###

"Fine..but you're on the couch tonight." he grunted

~~~

"Yup."

~~~

Kanji sat next to her

~~~

"......."

She suddenly got off him and headed into the kitchen - without any warning.

###

She sighed and nodded.

~~~

She beamed and started to walk.

~~~

She placed the baby boy on his lap.

~~~

"What? I know you loved Kiku with all your heart - but she's been dead for eight years, Katashi."

Ichimaru sighed and got up.

###

Yuske headed back to the room.

~~~

The guys were on other side of her

~~~

Kanji just stared down at it.

~~~

"I know that..." he said "but..well..."
