Don't own Naruto .o.o.
"Shiori come on, or we're going to be late for the festival," Sakura hollered up the stairs to her baby boy while fixing her daughter's obi, which became unraveled every time the child did a spine.
"Momma look... look at the pretty flowers dancing."
"Yes I see sweetie, don't move too much or you'll be showing Setoru you pink panties."
"Ah! Don't look big brover!" she turned to the older boy in the corner of the room, gripping tightly to her clothing as if it would fall right then.
Setoru smirked at her silly game, but looked away as she requested, "Don't worry Setsumi, I won't."
"See momma, he said he wouldn't."
"Yes, Setoru is quite the gentleman isn't he? Shiori if you don't come down here right now, I'm sending your father up to get you!"
"Alright... alright I'm coming mom!"
"Shiori." Sasuke only had to call his son's name, in an eerily calm voice, for the boy to know not to snap back at his mother.
"Sorry momma." Sakura smiled, kissed his forehead, then she shooed all of them out the door.
The halloween festival in the leaf village was one of the biggest in the land of fire. It was a time for children to dress up in brightly colored kimonos and local business handed out treats and small prizes; there was also games and food too.
"Momma, momma look at the pretty lights!"
"Yes I see them sweetie... some of them even match your kimono." Setsumi stopped pulling on her arm long enough to look down at her clothes, and then back up to the lights that were dangling from each of the vendors roofs.
The minute after the family ate, each child... well more the younger two, wanted to do different things. The Uzumaki clan had met up with them at dinner, so once they were given the okay Shiori and Tenma flew out of Ichiraku's on to the street; they had spotted some type of shinobi training game set up near the academy and wanted to show off their skills. As requested by his mother, nine year old Setoru followed after them to make sure nothing happened.
And now Sakura was currently being dragged down the street by her little girl, who must have spotted something she would have liked to do. Both Naruto and Sasuke decided to stay at the ramen stand, and Hinata had gone off with Tenten and her girls.
"Setsumi, where are you taking me?" The child's eagerness never let up and it felt like they were walking for a half an hour... was the market really that big?
"Here momma... look, look... pretty like your eyes, green!" colors were a very big thing for the four year old right now, and it seemed she spotted a green pearl like necklace at one of the stands closest to where they entered the market.
"Yes you're right, it does match my eyes... and yours too."
Now Setsumi never asked for much, even though her father spoils her, so when she did show her mother the necklace Sakura knew that was something her daughter really wanted, and would cherish for the rest of her life.
"Momma, you got the pretty necklace... are you going to wear it?" Setsumi giggled as she watched the necklace sway in the slight breeze; the gems shown brightly as the light of the torches and street lights that decorated the large street.
"No... you're going to. Mommy bought it for you!"
"Me! Thank you momma," Setsumi clapped her hands in excitement. Like whenever her mother allows her to try on her jewelery, Setsumi turned away from her mother and since her hair was already pinned up by the cherry blossom style combs; she was ready for her mother to place the necklace around her neck.
"There... now you'll have something to pass on to your daughter when you're much older."
"Yah!"
"Mom, mom, mom!"
Sakura recongized that panicked cry as Shiori's and began looking through the crowd for that black mop of hair she knew so well; Setsumi not far behind. "Shiori? Shiori what is it... where are you?"
"I'm right here mom and you got to come quick!" the little boy reached his mother's side, Tenma running to catch up with him.
Now to a mother, a panicking child and the words 'come quick', means only one thing... someone is hurt; that's when Sakura noticed that her oldest was no where in sight. "Oh god... where's Setoru? What happened Shiori?"
"Huh? Nothing happened to him... it's dad."
'Sasuke?'
"What happen to daddy!" now Setsumi was crying, thinking her father was injured.
"Nothing happened to him Setsumi-chan, you're dad's okay," Tenma tried calming the hysterical child down, all while glaring at his best friend for causing her to worry.
"Yeah he's fine, it's just that this woman is hanging all over him," Shiori made a disgusted face before darting back through the crowd in the direction of the ramen stand.
'A woman's hanging on him, no one would dare touch him, everyone in the village knows he's married... unless.' "Tenma, what does the woman look like?" Sakura feared she already knew the answer to that question, but it was impossible.
"She has really bright red hair auntie Sakura, glasses, and she was really annoying when she screamed; dad told us to come find you quickly."
'Then the rumors were true... Karin's back. Well if she thinks she's taking Sasuke away, I'll kill her myself.'
Note: I'm going to end it there... don't want it to be too long. But the real question is... what is Karin doing in the picture, how did she get out of jail!
