Unexpected Fun

[Hikari Mi]

Kari was sitting and the park with Aiko who seemed to be lost in thought. When Aiko had asked her earlier about a double date Kari explained on the way home that there was no way that both boys would agree on going to one together. So the girl had thought of a plan, with her mothers permission they both had went to the messenger bird station and used two birds, one a hawk and the other a pretty golden feathered bird. The boys notes stated: "You are to report to the park immediately!" Seeing as Aiko was a bit shyer than her Kari was prepared to take the wrap if Zephyr had gotten upset.

"Aiko don't worry, you guys haven't been on a date officially as a couple yet have you?"

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko wasn't so sure about this..what if Zephyr was training or doing something important? The thought of him being upset or mad at her was hard to even think about. As they walked to the messenger bird station and Aiko had seen the birds Hikari had picked out a bit of a sly smile was showing on her face. "I see what you did there Kari. Very funny!" She laughed a little as the birds went to deliver the notes and the girls went back to the park to wait.

When they had finally sat down on a bench Aiko thought and thought sighing in the end. "No we haven't actually. But we have never done a double date before either so this will be kind of new to us." Aiko smiled sweetly before seeing two boys around their age approach them, her eyes blinked twice wondering why they had come to them. Her head turn to see Kari's look which looked just as perplexed as hers did. "Hi! Can we help you with something?" Aiko still kept her sweetness about her with the same cute smile.

One of the boys smiled, he had a headband so it was safe to say he was a shinobi as well before he started talking he sat close to Aiko. "My friend and I were just wondering why two beautiful girls were by themselves.." His other friend sat beside Kari before winking at her, "You two are pretty cute"

Aiko blushed a bit before trying to scoot over from him a little if they didnt leave before the boys got here it'd end ugly. "W-we are waiting some people...so if I were you I would leave..in a hurry." The guy laughed a bit before grabbing Aiko's hand and pulling her back close to him. "Aww come on don't be that way. We arent scared of anything, we are shinobi!" His friend nodded grinning, "Yeah, nothing scares us!"

[Zephyr Uchiha]

Zephyr was just about to leave his house when a familiar hawk broke into his home through an open window. It landed on his table, perplexing the young Uchiha genin. He walked over and took the tiny scroll from his leg. He patted the hawk's head, allowing it to fly back to the messenger bird station. He read the miniscule note and his eyes widened. Immediately? This handwriting is kind of girly... Maybe it's from Aiko! But she wouldn't use such a tone... I can't really ignore it. Zephyr sighed and then left his house. To the park he would go.

It didn't take him very long, even at the leisurely stroll he walked. Once he entered the park, he immediately saw the bench Aiko and Hikari were sitting at. He recognized them, but not the two boys sitting next to them... Bothering them... Zephyr's anger flared. He had a chance to practice his new Genjutsu now.

He yelled, "Hey!" The one boy sitting very close to Aiko turned, and Zephyr looked straight into his eyes. He formed a handseal and concentrated on his chakra. In a flash, he burst his chakra out and shot it directly at the boy. In a few moments, the boy clutched his head screaming in apparent pain. Zephyr had given him a very, very painful vision. It was what he would do to him if he tried anything on Aiko. Zephyr released the jutsu and pointed away from the bench. The very young Genin didn't need any more reasons to leave, and quickly fled. His friend looked at the boy strangely, and then looked at Zephyr. What did he do to him?

Zephyr kept walking towards Aiko and Hikari, and sat down on the bench, content on letting the boy's fear of what Zephyr did to the other one let him leave... Or letting someone else do it for him. He looked at Aiko and then grinned.

"Hey. What did you need me for?"

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo had been busy he was doing the one thing he hated almost as much as a kage hated paperwork his laundry it normaly wasn't that bad but some of the local kids and Rikuo had been in a prank war normaly it was fun but they had set off paint bombs in his dresser turning most of his cloths bright pink. Rikuo had been able to clean most of them but others had to be throwen out as their was no saving them and Rikuo figured that his golden hair got him noticed enough the last thing he needed was to be seen wareing a bubble gum pink shirt he wasn't sure that would fly. Rikuo heard a slight pecking sound and turned from his folding to see a golden bird pecking on his window he opened the window and the bird hoped onto his arm and offred him it's leg which held a message on it. Rikuo took the message and gave the bird some seeds that he kept around for the birds which it ate them quickly before it flew back towards the station.

Rikuo looked at the message and noitced the hand writing was Kari's he smiled as he opened it and at once noticed the tone and Gulped he couldn't figured out what he was in trouble for but he figured he had better show up quickly. Rikuo moved fast grabing one of his few clean shirt and pulling it on he quickly put on his sandles and moved across the rooftops towards the park to meet Kari.

As Rikuo got with in sight of the park he noticed two boys giveing Aiko and Kari ahard time he also noticed Zephy take care of the one bugging Aiko which left the other to him. Rikuo landed on top of the small pond in the middle of the park and made a lone hand sign. With a poof of Smoke Rikuo used a standard subsitution but instead of a log Rikuo switched places with the boy who had been bugging Kari. As Rikuo appred on the bench with his arm around Kari the boy appread over the pond and fell in with a loud splash. Rikuo then looked over and gave Kari a quick peck on the cheek and waved to Aiko and Zephy. "Hi guys how are you? Rikuo said this with his normal grin on his face but made sure to be ready in case he had done something Kari was mad at him for.

[Hikari Mi]

Hikari laughed a little bit at Aiko mentioning they hadn't went on a date in awhile. Zephyr did not seem like the romantic type at all and yet he had got one of the most prettiest girls in their class. How'd it happen she would never understand but those two were absolutely adorable. "Oh Aiko you two are so adorable its cute."

Just as she finished her sentence the two boys approached the girls and Kari's eyebrow raised. Aiko's sweet personality could never be mean to anyone, as the boys started hitting on them Kari's eyes narrowed. The sooner the boys got here the better. Just after a few minutes of the boys flirting Zephyr seemed to show up. Thank you" As he casted the Genjutsu Hikari raised an eyebrow even though a smirk was showing on her. Zephyr knew no limits when it came to people bothering his girl. As if on que Rikuo showed up and Kari only blinked before seeing her boyfriend and the other guy switching places. Kari blushed a little feeling his hand around her waist and his lips peck her cheek. Though she busted out into laughter seeing the boy fall in the lake and get out running to catch up to his friends.

"I'm not mad at you, we just wanted you guys to join us on a double date."

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko looked over at Zephyr hearing him yell but quickly looked away when realizing what he was about to do. When the boy screamed and ran off Aiko looked back to see her favorite person in the world sit next to her and grin. She giggled a bit before kissing his cheek and taking his hand while Rikuo did his little stunt. Aiko laughed when Kari did and then looked over at Zephyr when she had mentioned the double date. Aiko knew that the best way for him to say yes was to give him the innocent cute look rather than the puppy face. That itself was only used in extreme situations.

"Pleaaaase Zephyr? I promise it'll be worth it!" Aiko touched her nose with his as she waited for his answer. If he was going to say no it'd hurt her a bit but then again Aiko always seemed to have a understanding personality about her. However, this was Aiko, his girlfriend! There was no way he was going to say no to her unless it potentially harmed her or something.

[Zephyr Uchiha]

Zephyr laughed as Rikuo dumped the second guy into the pond and appeared next to Hikari. He always had a few tricks up his sleeps, that one. He turned a shade of red as Aiko kissed his cheek, but Zephyr went wide-eyed when Hikari mentioned a double date. He just knew this was a bad idea from the start. He'd seen enough situations in restaurants like these to know there was nothing good that could come from this.

Suddenly, he felt Aiko's nose against his. He stared into her cute eyes and could not resist.

"I-I guess..." he muttered. This was going to be a disaster...

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo sighed as Kari said that he wasn't in trouble he felt relived because he had know idea what she could have been mad about and that sacred him slightly as if he was in trouble he wanted to know what it was about before he was punished for it. Rikuo's eyebrows raised when Kari mentioned a double date he hadn't really expected that and he noticed that Zephyr looked just a nervous as him about it but when the young Uchiha agreed to it Rikuo sighed.

He looked into Kari's eyes ready to say no but the second his locked with her blue eyes his brain changed his anwser for him to the one she would like to hear. "Sure Kari-chan sounds like fun to hang out with Zeph and Aiko. Rikuo said this with his normal grin while deep inside his mind inner Rikuo cried at his abilty to not say no to Kari.

[Hikari Mi]

Kari beamed jumping out of Rikuo's grip and looking at Aiko, "I'll be back in like 5 seconds!" She ran around the corner and went into a building coming back out with a blanket and large basket and also wearing a grin on her face. What better way to enjoy the day with a picnic out the village? Hikari knew how shy Aiko and Zephyr were so it was best that their dads, Aiko's and Kari's, didn't see them with their boyfriends getting all cuddly. It would've ended roughly in her mind.

"Come on guys, the sooner we get to the spot the better." Kari took her bf's hand while the basket and blanket were in her other hand. She looked over at Zephyr before winking at her teammate. He had to get past that shy side when around Aiko, even Kari could tell Aiko loved him and nothing could change her mind about him.

[Aiko Uchiha]

"I was wondering why you hid it in that womans house." Aiko replied seeing Kari get the materials for todays 'adventure'. She looked over at Zephyr getting a gut feeling that he was thinking it would end badly. Taking his hand Aiko lightly squeezed it shaking her head lightly as in a matter of it wouldn't go the way he was believing it would. Smiling a little Aiko stood hand in hand with Zephyr following Kari out towards the village gates. She knew exactly what spot Kari was talking about since earlier today they had found it.

"Zephyr something on your mind?" Aiko raised an eyebrow with a small smirk looking up at him out the corner of her eye.

[Zephyr Uchiha]

Zephyr sighed when Hikari pulled the basket and blanket from the house. She had this all planned out. They had practically tricked the guys into going. He looked back into Aiko's eyes and got the conviction to take her hand and stand up. He walked side-by-side with her, following Hikari and Rikuo. He noticed the sly look Hikari gave him and then Hikari, and the subtle wink, but paid it no mind. This could only be more trickery by the women. Women were always trouble - that was one piece of advice his dad gave him, before soundly getting rapped by a wooden spoon by his mother. He almost laughed remembering the scene.

His train of thought was disturbed by Aiko looking at him, having asked a question. He was lucky that somewhere in his subconscious he heard it, or else he would have been dumbfounded.

"Nothing," he said quietly, continuing their walk. He had no idea where Hikari wanted to go. She was definitely going far away from both the Uchiha compound and the regular housing, though. What was she planning...?

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo blinked when Kari jumped out of his grip and almost fell over because he had been leaning on her slightly but he quickly caught himself so he didn't fall on his face. That was the last thing that he needed to do he watched as she ran towards some buildings and she came back with a blanket and a basket and he smiled slightly. He stood as she took his hand and quickly followed her he wanted to see what she had planned as he figured this was mostly to help the two Uchiha that were with them. Rikuo had noticed that Zephy had seemed slightly nervous about all of this and Rikuo couldn't help but feel bad for him but Rikuo knew that Zephy could overcome you could learn a lot about someone by fighting them and Rikuo and Zephy may have only had one match but that was all it took to learn the basics about some one.

Rikuo smiled as he walked beside Kari watching as they walked to see were Kari was takeing them for this little adventure.

[Hikari Mi]

Kari said nothing more as the continued their walk. Eventually after a few moments of walking the group started walking up a cliffside where a single lone tree was growing, past the tree however was the village itself just sitting in all its glory. From their spot they could see the entire village. Kari figured that the boys would like to have some peace and quiet with no more interuptions so why not this place? It was very calming and Kari felt proud of herself for finding it with Aiko.

"Hope you guys like it. We didn't know if you two would want peace and quiet, with a nice view of course." Hikari smiled a bit after laying the blanket under the tree and setting the basket down. Afterwards she stood and stretched looking at the village. "I never thought our home was this big..."

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko had a slanted frown but sad nothing as he answered her. It was more than just a nothing and her gut instincts was telling her that. But as the walked in silence the view seemed to make her eyes brighten almost forgetting that they had found this place and it had looking just as amazing as earlier. The village itself made her seem so proud about being a Kunoichi, this was her home she was going to protect and everyone in it...including Zephyr.

Leaning against the tree Aiko smiled looking over to where the Uchiha compound was, "They all look like little ants from here." She laughed a bit before helping Kari set the things down and stretch as well. While looking at Zephyr a smile with a faint blush was directed towards him.

[Zephyr Uchiha]

Zephyr noted a lone tree on the cliffside, and the group appeared to be headed there. It provided decent shade, peace and quiet, and a nice view of the rest of the village. Zephyr smiled and stood next to Aiko. He wrapped one arm around her shoulder comfortably - not leaning on her for support, because she'd probably collapse under his weight, but just resting it there.

He looked over her shoulder to the view of the village.

"Yeah..." he mumbled and relinquished his hold on her as she walked to help Hikari with the things. Zephyr then slid down to a sitting position and closed his eyes, enjoying the breeze. He didn't even notice Aiko staring at him. He simply relaxed in the quiet place. This was nice.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo smiled as the group reached the top of the hill and they all set up under the tree and when he sat down he wrapped his arm around Kari as they both looked out over the side he couldn't help but smile as she said that she didn't think that the village had been this big. Rikuo brushed a strand of Kari's hair away from her ear before he leaned in and whispered into her earso only she could hear him. "This spot is nice but I think our private one is a lot better" Rikuo said this with his normal grin as he looked over at Zephy and Aiko and he couldn't help but chuckle when she said that everyone looked like ants from up this high.

[Hikari Mi]

Kari looked over at Aiko and Zephyr and laughed a little at how adorable they were. She then felt Rikuo move a stand of her hair and started whispering in her ear. Her cheeks burned red before looking over at him giggling at his statement. She nodded as her lips pressed against his cheeks and then laughed at Aiko's statement as well. "Aiko you're the one thats small like a little ant.." Kari stuck her tongue out and teased a bit.

This was actually very calming, who would've though having another couple with them could be so relaxing? Everything was running smoothly and Kari wanted it to stay that way because right now everything seemed to be going so right.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko looked over at Hikari making fun of her,"You guys just wait! I may be small but I'll have the strength to surpass my size. Sakura Haruno herself is teaching me!" Her smile was wide while telling them the news since she had waited for them all to together like this. Maybe now everyone would actually respect her and not take her for granted because of her size. Giggling at everyones looks Aiko moved herself to Zephyrs lap and laughed a bit when she looked up at his face.

[Zephyr Uchiha]

Zephyr opened his eyes when Hikari teased Aiko. It slightly irked him, but he knew it was just playful girl banter. However, he was genuinely surprised when Aiko announced her new teacher. Sakura Haruno? Where did he know that name? He was sure he would remember soon enough.

Aiko moved herself to Zephyr's lap and looked up at him. The situation was awkward at best, but Zephyr made the most of it by quickly pecking her on the lips, though not too harshly. He smiled and turned his head away from the other couple, knowing Hikari was bound to make some comment about them being a cute couple or something.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo couldn't help but smile as they all sat together and he couldn't help but chuckle slightly when Kari took a shot at Aiko's size. Rikuo also rasied an eyebrow when Aiko said that she was going to be trained by Sakura Haruno he rasied an eyebrow trying to remember but it came to him who she was. "Nice Aiko Sakura was trained by Tsunade Senju herself and is said to be very skilled while not as much as her master she is still close.Rikuo said this with a nod of his head it was truly imprsseive for Aiko and he chuckled at how Zephy looked when she moved into his lap.

Rikuo just turned his head back to Kari as the two kept looking over the side waiting for Hikari to use this moment to help turn the other couple red.

[Hikari Mi]

Hikari's mouth dropped when hearing Sakura's name. The Sakura Haruno? You are going to be the strongest Uchiha ever! Besides Zephyr though" When Aiko had sat in her boyfriends lap Kari opened her mouth to begin saying something like always but her mouth closed smiling a bit. She looked up at Rikuo giving him a look stating that she wouldn't say anything at all. At least for now.

"You guys I hope we all obtain our dreams. I know we all can, we each have someone special we want to protect as well as the village. I want to be the strongest Kunoichi ever! Right alongside you guys of course. Whats everyone elses dream?" Kari looked at Rikuo with a smile before looking over at Aiko and Zephyr.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko blushed brightly when he kissed her lips still not getting use to him actually kissing her. She giggled though cuddling up to him and was a bit relieved when Hikari wasn't going to tease them. The view of the village made her smile a bit, Aiko was more than proud to come from a lively hustle and bustle place such as this. Hearing everyone being excited for her being Sakura's student she just smile even while listening to Hikari talk about their dreams.

Now that Aiko really thought about it what was her dream? Oh that was right, to show Sasuke and Itachi up. Big dream in her case but Aiko also wanted to show the village and the rest of the world that not all Uchiha's were prideful and stuck up. By far Aiko was the sweetest thing ever and never gloated about being part of one of the most powerful clan in the village. "I want to become strong like you are aiming to be, become a poster child for our clan. Also show the world that our clan isn't as cold, stuck up or prideful as everyone thinks we are. We get a bad rep around here because of the few."

[Zephyr Uchiha]

Zephyr didn't even have to consider thinking about what he wanted in this life.

"Those are really good goals. My ultimate goal is to learn every jutsu in the world... And become the best shinobi I can be," he stated. He looked over at Rikuo, just daring him to say he wanted the same thing.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo couldn't help but grin as he listened to every one else's dream and he couldn't help but smile as he thought about his own dream and smiled When Zephyr looked at him almost as if he wanted Rikuo to try and match his dream. Rikuo smiled and pointed towards the Hokage Mountian before he spoke. "My Dream is to become the Strongest Hokage The Ninja world has ever had and to help restore the Namikaze clans fame so people remember my clan's name." Rikuo said this with his giant grin on his face and gently rubbed Kari's shoulder as she knew the other part of his dream which he hope she would help him with one day.

[Hikari Mi]

Hikari giggled a bit listening to everyone's dreams. Aiko's and Zephyr's seemed so legit and a part of her knew that they'd surpass their own expectations when the moment came. She was looking forward to seeing everyone 6 years from now..heck even ten years from now. Kari looked at the Hokage faces on the stone wall when he pointed to them, as of right now she was able to easily see his face on that wall. However, when he didn't mention the other half of his dream and rubbed her shoulders gently a bright blush showed on her face while turning away from the other couple. Hikari did laugh though at the sudden realization that he really meant what he had said the first day they met.

"Is anyone hungry? I kinda am, besides my mom cooked this all with Aiko's and I's help of course!" She gestured over to the basket knowing the boys would want to at least have some food if they weren't starving.
