(I do not own shit, sad but true.)

"Ow mom you got it in my eyes!"

"Sorry sorry..." Naruto replied pouring water over his youngest son's head. "The bottle says no more tears-"

"I'm not crying!"

"Yes your are. Natsu's a big baby ~"

"I'm not!" Natsu said pouting with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, Yuki stop teasing your brother and Natsu I'm almost finished...I just have the little bit thats left."

"Yay all done." Splashing some water at both boys in the tub Naruto got up. He couldn't believe that they were turning five next week. Boy they were growing up way too fast.

"Are you guys ready for your halloween birthday bash!" Naruto asked excitedly, he couldn't wait to see them and the other kids decked out in their costumes.

"I can't wait! I just luv the costume you made for me mom ~ I'm gonna win the best dressed for sure." Said an eager looking Natsu playing with his dinosaurs, dripping water all on the floor.

"In your dreams Natsu. I'm going to win with my awesome ninja outfit that mom made." Yuki stated staring at his younger twin with disdain as he noticed all the water on the floor. " Nobody is going to pick your dumb dinosaur costume."

"Hey Yuki, what did I say?" Asked Naruto in a disappointed tone.

"If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." Yuki recited as if he said those words a million times, which he did but he hated seeing his mom look sad especially when it's him who's causing it.

He tried to keep his mouth shut but he hated childish and stupid things while his brother seemed to love them. He promised himself not to upset his mom again. He noticed how people would say he was raising them wrong and where was their father. It was none of their business and he made the mistake of telling them that and got that shoved in his moms face with them saying they had no manners. He wished people would just leave them alone.

"Whats wrong Yuki?" Natsu whispered sliding next to him in the tub.

Sighing, "It's nothing, are you ready to get out?" He asked ruffling Natsu's wet hair.

"Yeah, I'm hungry mom. Whats we eating for breakfast?"

"It's what are we eating and it's saturday idiot...how can you forget pancake day?" Yuki bellowed standing up. "Mom I want blueberry pancakes"

"Me chocolate chip.", Natsu shouted mimicking his older brother.

"Alright, alright now be careful getting out...wait here's your towels. Yup blue for my smartypants Yuki." Naruto said handing Yuki his favorite multi colored blue towel. "And here's my little trickster's red swirl towel."

"Thank you." A toothless Natsu said, ahh this kid is going to give me a heart attack Naruto thought as he recalled Natsu falling out of the backyard tree. He rushed over to him thankful that he didn't have any broken bones but two missing front teeth and a couple scraps. This kid still didn't have any depth perception Naruto thought rubbing his temple.

"Okay kiddos do you think you can get yourselves dressed while I get breakfast started?" They didn't even answer as the dashed out the bathroom, slipping here and there from the water.

"Your clothes are on your beds and stop running." Yelled the overprotective parent.

"Guess I should clean this water up first..." Sighing he got to work.

...

"Hurry up Natsu!" Yuki shouted for his brother.

"I'm comin, just hold ya horses will ya." Natsu yelled running down the steps with one shoe on, the other in hand. Sitting on the bottom step he put the other light up sneaker on.

"No you don't, tie your shoe strings before you end up falling again."

"You do it Yuki ~ I suck at it." Pouting he said grabbing onto Yuki's shirt.

"Ugh okay but this is the last time...okay?"

"Yes...ahhh thank you!" Natsu said giving Yuki a quick hug before running outside. Yuki just followed, shaking his head. How were they even twins?

Naruto locked the door after Yuki came strolling out of the house, just like the person he wanted to forget the most. But he couldn't as he turned and looked at Yuki fixing Natsu's jacket collar, he just looked too damn much like their father. The same black-blue hair, same intense onyx eyes, same pale skin, and the same damn attitude...now thats something he could have lived without, he was too grown for his own good. But thats what also made him Yuki, his baby boy...even if he didn't like me calling him that.

Now Natsu on the other hand was a ball of sun. Almost the exact copy of him except for his eyes, which was a darker shade of blue. It was as if the Uchiha blood said oh no you don't he has to have something like an Uchiha...even if his eyes aren't black they're not going to be your kind of blue. Naruto was kind of hurt by that since Yuki was the carbon copy of his father he thought Natsu would be like him. Well he was in everything but the eyes, he had his blonde hair color but a couple of shades darker...that damn Uchiha blood again, so not fair. But he also had a light golden complexion. At least he got that...ha! in your face teme!

"Mom is something on my face?" Yuki asked.

"Ah..there's nothing, lets get in the car." Hitting the button on his key ring he unlocked the doors. Natsu was already there, climbing into his booster seat. It was the kind that converts from one year olds to six, the best kind in Naruto's book...it saved him a lot of money.

"Do you need help strapping yourself in?"He said looking from one to the other of his boys.

"No...yes." Natsu said, Yuki the quiet one was already nicely snug in his, looking at his brother with a pained expression. Naruto lightly plucked him between his brows.

"You'll get wrinkles before you're even five Yuki." Naruto laughed as he shut the door to go to the other side leaving Yuki to rub his head, pouting. He is just too adorable.

"Okay...there you go, all secure now Natsu." Naruto said rubbing his head.

"Time to go, first we're going to go to that new halloween store and get some more decorations." Naruto chimed as he got in back of the wheel, buckling up. "Then hit the candy store."

"Yay...I want to get some more orange slices, can't we mom?" Natsu pleaded making puppy dog eyes. Looking at Yuki, Naruto knew the boy wanted some too but wouldn't ask. Sighing he gave in getting rewarded with two brilliant smiles, even though one was missing two major teeth in the front but it was just too darn cute too.

"Okay, then we're going to...do you want to guess, I talked to them this morning."

"Pop pop and Nana's house!" Shouted two over eager kids.

"I want nana's cookies!"

"I want pop pop to show me some more books about ninjas."

"Oh Yuki do you really like learning about ninjas?" Naruto asked curious as he looked at his beaming face in the rearview mirror, he wondered about his sudden fascination with ninjas.

"That's not all mom, he told me about Edo and Lord Oda and Tokugawa. Its fun, I really like that pop pop is a history pro...fess...or, history professor!"

"Boring...I like nana's stories when she talks about how pop pop and her met, its sooo romantic," Natsu said swooning in his seat, making kissy faces. "It's way better than old history stuff...yuck!"

"Natsu that's not nice! Didn't I say earlier that Yuki talking bad about your likes was mean?" Continuing after Natsu gave a sullen nod. "That means the same goes for you, apologize. Yuki seems to really like this."

"I'm sorry, Yuki." Natsu said grabbing his brother's hand.

"It's okay, I'm sorry too for talking about your costume."

"That's more like it! You both can have different opinions okay, so don't bring each other down because you don't see eye to eye. If we all were the same it would be quite boooring don't you think?" Naruto asked stopping at a red light, turning to look at his boys. Ahhh I really wanted them to be thing one and thing two from the cat in the hat for their party but they shot me down. They would have been so cute.

"Yeah it would be boring. All of us walking around like robots saying I...AM...SHHH ...ROBOT... SHHH...3000...SHHH" Natsu said cracking up, while Yuki smirked. If he didn't look just like his father, ugh why do I keep thinking about him, is it a sign?

"Hey guys aren't you happy that Shina is going to be at your birthday party? Isn't she in your class too?" Naruto asked he hadn't seen his best friends child since they moved back.

"Yeah! We saw Uncle Shika too, he said that he was going to drop by tomorrow to see you." Natsu shouted he always loved playing with Shina, the girl was just as boisterous as him. Which Shika hated he said the girl was too much like her mother Temari.

"Uncle Shikamaru said that he was going to play shogi with me some more. He said I was a genius just like him." Yuki said beaming at me. Shikamaru loved the kid and you could tell that he really took them under his wing, more so with Yuki than Natsu though...we all know why.

"Which you are." Naruto said proudly, he loved that his friends helped care for his boys, he'd do the same. Hahaha that why he had Shina a lot, she was just too active for poor ol'Shikamau.

"Hey what about me?" Natsu shouted feeling left out.

"Your a genius too baby, in your own special way."

Finally pulling in at the shopping center Naruto got out of the car. He had on a pair of skinny legged black jeans, v-necked royal blue thin sweater, with a black blazer, and black combat boots. Naruto's hair was messy, he needed a haircut he thought as he ran his fingers through it.

Opening the back door to his five door toyota yaris. Out came Yuki first in his hooded grey jacket, navy blue sweat shirt, light blue jeans, and blue nikes. His black hair shoulder length with bangs.

Natsu came next, just like the day they were born. He had on a gray mickey mouse sweater, dark blue jeans, a navy blue jacket, with his light up sneakers. His hair was just as long as Yuki's but he kept pushing the bangs out of his face, it was time for him to get a haircut too.

"Do you want me to put it in a ponytail?" Naruto asked going to Natsu who nodded. Digging in his jacket pocket he produced a scrunchy and gathered up the front center of his hair and tied it, leaving the sides and back down. Natsu was too cute with his tuff of hair sticking up.

Grabbing their little hands they headed into the shopping center.

"Where to first?"

"Candy shop." They said throwing their free hands in the air.

"Alright, then the party shop."Naruto told them as they went to do their shopping that morning.

...

"Oh baby are you okay? Did you guys have fun at nana's and pop pop's place?" Naruto asked as he carried a sleepy Yuki in the house.

"Yes mommy, nana told me about their ma...gic...al meeting. How she didn't like her red hair but he did..." Natsu yawned mumbling the rest.

"I see nana tired you guys out, hahaha thats good of her, I'll have to thank her later." Heading up the stairs with a drowsy Natsu walking super slow in front of him.

"Don't think that you're going straight to sleep. You guys stink, it's bath time then bed."

"O...kay"

"C'mon straight to the bathroom young man. Yuki wake up, Natsu start taking off your clothes."

"All of them?"

"Yes, you're getting in the tub." Naruto stated as he started to do the same with Yuki after he started the tub. Yuki felt a little warm, hmmm is he catching a cold? I'll take his temperature after I wash him up.

"Natsu get in bed, just a little while ago you were ready to sleep on the stairs now you're up bouncing off the walls. Relax, drink your milk." He watched the little blonde pout but did what he was told in his bear footie pajamas.

Laying a sickly looking Yuki down in his frog footies, tucking him in Naruto grabbed the ear thermometer and stuck it in Yuki's ear. Stroking his hair he waited for it to beep, he was so full of energy this morning, what happen? Hearing the beep Naruto pulled it out and immediately sucked in his breath, 102...thats bad, really bad. I should call grandma Tsunade.

After a number of rings someone finally picked up at the hospital.

"Oh thank god, grandma it's me Naruto. Yes...I am worried thats why I called, Yuki has a 102 fever. What should I do, take him straight to the emergency room?" Naruto asked pacing back and forth worrying Natsu in the process.

"Mommy! Yuki's throwing up!" Screamed Natsu rushing over to help his brother out of bed.

"Yuki...Tsunade we're coming to you." Naruto hung up the phone missing the warning she tried to tell him.

"Natsu go put your jacket back on and your boots...okay and while you're at it can you get Yuki's things together?" Naruto said taking his eyes off of Yuki to look at a panicking Natsu. "Everything will be alright, Natsu just do what I ask...okay."

"Okay..." He said running out the room.

"C'mon let me wipe your face off, Yuki." Grabbing a baby wipe off the nightstand Naruto wiped Yuki's face and the mess he made on the floor, thank god it was wood instead of carpet. Lifting the sick child up Naruto made his way down the steps to his waiting child, with everything he asked for and more.

"I thought that Yuki might want some water...since he just threw up and stuff." Natsu said looking embarrassed when Naruto started to ruffle his hair and thank him for his thoughtfulness.

"Okay here we go again...Natsu put your hat on it's chilly outside now."

Twenty minutes later Naruto was pulling up in front of his grandmothers private hospital. It was high end and costly just to see her but he was glad for family connections at that moment, it meant Yuki got to see the best there was in healthcare.

Rushing into the clinic, Naruto went straight to the back. Everyone knew him there and plus they were also worried about Yuki, so no one stopped him.

"Hey Naruto can I do anything for you?" Shizune asked, she was Tsunade's business partner and a skillful doctor herself.

"Can you tell me where my grandma is?"

"I'm right here, hurry up into this room... I tried to tell you something important on the phone but you-"

"Naruto?" Came an all too familiar voice.

Naruto turned slowly to meet the owner of that velvety voice with Yuki still in his arms and Natsu by his side. Oh how he dreaded this moment so much over the years.

"Sasuke..."
