Their Mother~A modern Iruka love story

Chapter Four~2nd Year and Meeting Three

It had been a year since I'd adopted Naruto. He is now in the 2nd grade and excels at English,and Math. His teacher is still Iruka(who is now my best friend),and he still has Sasuke and the others. I learned that Naruto was born on October 10,2008 at 3:15am. His favorite food is ramen,and he hates to wait for it to cook. And he loves pranks.

He gets dressed and comes downstairs as I cook chocolate chip pancakes,eggs,and bacon. I plate them and turn off the stove,handing him his plate. He drowns them in maple syrup and stuffs his face,and I laugh as I eat my food. I place our dishes in the sink,and wash his face.

"Did you brush your teeth?"I ask him,and he nods while showing me his pearly white teeth and blue braces. I smile and do my normal routine before driving him to school. He hops out and runs to his friends,while I talk to Iruka. The bell cuts our conversation short and I wave before driving to my job at Suna Co. I work for 6 hours,organizing papers and stuff,before going to pick up Naruto. As I'm leaving,I spot 3 kids walking together. They look homeless and,feeling bad,I run towards them. "Hey!"I call out to them and they turn to me. One is a 6 year old red-headed boy with pale,blue eyes. The second one is a 7 year old boy with gravity defying brown hair. And the last one is a pale, 8 or 9 year old boy with silvery-white hair. Their clothes are soggy and stained and they look skinny and sick.

"Hello!I'm Rhiannon Thompson. Do you 3 have anywhere to go?"I ask,and they shake their heads,"Well,do you have names?"

"Gaara."The red head mumbled,clutching a ratty teddy bear.

"Zaku."The brown haired boy frowned.

"Kimimaro."The white haired boy said,softly.

"Okay. Well,I have to pick up my son Naruto from school. Do you want to come? We usually go to McDonald's after."I smiled,and they hesitantly agreed. We piled in the car and I drove to the school,playing Partition. I beeped the horn for Naruto and he climbed in the front seat before noticing the other 3 boys. He smiled,and blabbed to them. I smiled and ordered happy meals and sundaes for them and a frappe for me. Then we went to the mall where I bought them as many clothes and shoes as Naruto. Then I had Gaara's bear fixed and their hair done. Then I drove home and put them all in the tub for a bubble bath. They got dressed in their sweatpants and t-shirts,ate dinner,and watched tv.

By bedtime,they were acting like actual brothers.

I learned that Kimimaro was the oldest at 8 and he was born on June 15,2006 at 12:00am. His favorite food is dango.

Zaku was 7 and born on September 14,2007 at 7:15pm. His favorite food is pocky.

And Gaara was 6 and born on January 19,2008 at 4:14pm. And his favorite food is curry. He was older than Naruto though.
