"Temari!" I shouted, entering the house.

"Mum's not here so you should come back another day," a familiar 12-year-old boy called out to me, "oh, Aunt y/n?"

"Hello, Shikadai," I greeted the boy as Kaito ran past me and tackled his cousin to the floor.

"Ha! Got you. That brings us 32 to 30, Shikadai!" Kaito shouted loudly as Gaara walked into the building with Shinki trailing behind him.

"Do you know where she is?" I asked, peeking over my son's shoulder to my nephew who was just lying on the floor, unbothered.

He's thirteen in a week and yet this kid still acts like this. Love to see it. It wasn't like this for our generation, they grew up all too seriously. I'm glad to see our children can still play about.

"No... Wait—" Shikadai pushed Kaito off him as Shinki grabbed Kaito's collar and dragged him back as well allowing for the Nara to stand up again, "she might be with Sakura? Oh, Ino and Hinata too. My Father's with Lord Naruto."

"He was?" Gaara asked, "I didn't see him?"

"He must be doing errands then," Shikadai laughed slightly before looking at Kaito, "let's round it off. 32 to 32. Spar?"

Kaito let out a low hum as he freed himself from Shinki's hold, "sure. But with everyone there. I want Uncle Shikamaru and Aunt Temari to see how much I've improved. I've worked hard, you know?"

"Alright, then we need to find them! Let's go!" Shikadai started walking out the house and we followed after putting our bags in the guest rooms of Temari's and Shikamaru's house.

This is definitely going to be an interesting afternoon.

"Mum!" Shikadai shouted and waved lazily at the blonde who wasn't alone. She was with Ino, Sai, Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, Choji, Shikamaru, Lee, Tenten and Kiba, Akamaru and Shino. Along with Karui, Boruto, Himawari, Inojin, Chocho, Metal and Sarada.

Ok—everyone, she was just with everyone. Everyone and their kids.

"I think you're missing out on a party here, Shikadai," I joked with Shikadai, he just pouted at me.

"Y/n?" Temari called, I nodded, and she threw herself at me, Gaara caught me and made sure I didn't fall when I was attacked, "what're you doing here?"

I looked at Gaara.

"Kaito's birthday is next week, and I could only get this week away from the village and they really wanted to see you so... Here we are," Gaara explained, letting me go and going to Naruto.

"He says that like he's the busy one," I said, half rolling my eyes and smiling, "the council is running me and Kankuro ragged. Kankuro isn't even on the council. We're exhausted and all this dude does is sign paper."

Temari let out a loud 'ha!' and then looked at Shinki and Kaito, "good to see my favourite nephews again."

"We're your only nephews," Shinki pointed out, she just grinned.

"Exactly," she gave them a thumbs up and smiled.

"And, hey, signing paper is a health hazard," Naruto leaned over Gaara and pointed at me, "we get many paper cuts."

"Oh boo-hoo," both me and Temari shot back before Naruto and Gaara turned to each other and gave a dramatic 'I understand you' kind of hug. Both of them. They can be weird sometimes.
