"Hey Mom" Reika shouted comming down stairs.

     "Yes sweetie what is it?" called her mom from the wheelchair she had to use since her near loss oh her twins.

     "Where's Dad today?"

     "He needed to see Haruka, he'll be........um Reika?"

      Her daughter had already left out the door.




     "So you want me to take over for awhile, untill Yumi gets better" Haruka said.

     "Yeah, I just want to be in the village while Yumi has to stay in the wheelchair"

     Reika walked in about that time with tears in her eyes, "You mean you want be going on missions with us anymore"

     Jason help his eye start to tear looking at his daughter, "It's only for a while, just untill Mom gets better"

     "Do you swear" she said sniffing.

     He help her close and said, "Yes, I give you my word, I'll come back to help you three out"

     



     "Hey guys", Reika yelled to Kyoko and Hiroshi.

     "So do we have a mission?" Hiroshi asked.

     "Yeah also, while my mom is in a wheelchair my dad will stay in the village"

     "So does that mean Haruka is going to be our new sensei?", Kyoko asked.

     "Yeah", she replied still alittle sad.

     "Well I hav to go home and get ready see you at the gate" and with that Kyoko left.

     "Um....Reika can I talk to you?" Hiroshi asked.

     "Sure, what about?"

     "I....I...um..I like you", and with that her kissed her.

     "Not that I mind you liking me" she said after the kiss, "But what about Kyoko?" she asked not beliving it came from her mouth.

     "That's what we were talking about, she was upset at first, but I think she'll be fine"




     "Hey you three" Haruka said from the spot she was waiting for them at.

     "We'll were all her let's go"

     They started to walk out of the village when they heard a voice say, "Hey Puppy, heading out"

     They looked back to see Haruka's lover in her Anbu gear, in honor of her lover her mask was shaped like a wolf's face.

     "Yeah, I'll see you back at home when we return"

     "Ok" Ayame said then kissed her lover on the cheek.




     The mission was simple enough and they were back in the village about a day and a half later.

     "Well that went well" Haruka said with a smile, "Well let head to the Hokage's office"

     "You to go ahead I need to talk to Kyoko", Reika said.

     "Alright hurry along after you done"

     "So what do you want to talk about"

     Reika had her ear's lowered and a sad look on her face, "I'm sorry he didn't choose you"

     "Don't worry, if I had to loose I'm glad it was to a good friend like you"

     This shocked Reika, she threw her arms around Kyoko and started to cry.




     "And that our report Lord Hokage"

     "Well that went well, since this is my last duty for the day let go get ramen"

     "Dad, you know what Mom said she would do if you when out for ramen instead of eating her cooking"

     Naruto though for a moment then shuttered at the tought of what Hinata could and would do to him.

     "Sorry we're late!", Reika yelled entering with Kyoko.

     "Looks like you've been crying" Naruto said earning her an elbow to the chest from both Haruka and his son.

     "It's nothing to worry about", Reika said with a smile.

     "Ok if you say so"




     Reika ran as fast as she could. When she can inside her house Jason was holding one twin Yumi the other.

     "He said it, he finally said it!" Reika yell.

     "Took him long enough, he told me he liked you almost a month ago", Jason said.

     "You know and you didn't tell me" Reika said with her ears pirked up"

     "He told me that it would be better if said it himself"

     "He was right" she said as she hugged her dad.
