"Hello, Father… How… How was your trip?" Asagiri asked carefully, she hadn't seen much of her father, he was always away on a journey of discovery. He returned infrequently to visit, his most recent appearance being to see Nokitai perform in the Chuunin Exam finals.
"It was enlightening, Asagiri. You come to see how inexplicitly small you are compared to the world." Sasuke answered his daughter, looking over the balcony of their house across the view of Konoha. "You should come one day and see it for yourself."
"I'd love to father, it would mean the world to be able to spend more time with you." She smiled back towards him, she nestled into his side, hugging him from around the waist, her head resting on his left shoulder. "But I can't go. Someone needs to keep Nokitai down a peg. That Chuunin promotion went straight to his head. And Sarada is getting old enough to ask about your absence, I need to stay to look after her as well."
"I'm sorry. But there's only one more place I need to go to. I promise, Asagiri, the next time I leave will be the last time I return." He gave her a soft smile, moving his arm to circle around her, the hand slapped hard on her shoulder, causing her to wince and utter out a small ow. "Sorry. I'm still getting used to this arm." He looked behind her to the bandaged left arm that wrapped around his daughter's shoulders.
"It's fine." She laughed quietly, enjoying the small embrace with her father. "Besides, there is another reason why I can't leave…" She saw her father's eyebrow raise, and hesitantly, she gulped audibly. "Y-You see, Father… The thing is… I kind of have…-"
"When are you going to tell your dad the news, Asagiri!?" Her mother returned from the kitchen with a tray of drinks in a pleasantly chipper and excited mood.
"What news?" Sasuke asked curiously, looking down to his daughter. "Did you get your Genin team? Your Mother wrote about you applying for the role in a letter."
"No this is even better news!" Sakura answered ecstatically, giving the two of them a small wink. "Asagiri's in love! Got herself a little boyfriend!"
Sweat began to drip from her forehead as she nervously looked towards her father, whose eyebrow remained risen. "I guess that's good news. Is there something I have to do?"
"Just be nice to him and don't scare him off!" Sakura smiled happily again before walking back towards the kitchen.
"Sounds simple enough." Sasuke mused, walking back into the house, unhooking the sword from around his waist and placing it against the wall. "It's not some loser who'll piss himself at the sight of me, is it?"
"No, not at all father!" Sasuke recognised the laugh that his daughter emitted, that nervous laugh.
Sasuke nodded, removing his black cloak and placing it on a hanger. "I guess I should meet him then."
"That's good to hear! I saw him in town earlier and invited him to dinner! He should be here shortly!" They heard Sakura shout from the kitchen, making Sasuke's brow raise again.
"Hmm. I guess we don't have much time then," He turned to his daughter, who began to look a bit more panicky. "Tell me some things about him."
She chuckled nervously again, a light blush covering her face. "W-Well, you see Father… You actually know him quite well… It's-"
A knock banged on the door to silence her, "No time at all it seems." Sasuke mused again as he walked towards the door, opening it to reveal the sight of Hamura stood on the other side of the door.
"Hello Uncle Sasuke!" He beamed towards the raven haired man, who instantly frowned at the sight of the red haired Uzumaki.
"What do you want? We're about to have dinner and we're expecting a guest." Sasuke spoke towards the young adult in a sour tone.
"Hello, Hamura, come on in. Dinner's almost ready." Sakura peaked round the kitchen door to address the red haired boy.
"Thanks, Aunt Sakura, I can't wait. I'm absolutely staved-tteboshou!" Hamura grinned, sliding off his shoes and walking into the house.
Sasuke's eye twitched repeatedly. 'No…' He turned and slowly closed the door, watching the boy walking towards Asagiri, who smiled sweetly and lovingly towards him. 'No!'
They embrace into a hug, right there, in the middle of his house. 'Oh God no!' He fought every urge to return to his sword and kill the kid right here and now.
Was he a bad father? Sure, he wasn't around much, but he liked to think he still cared for and loved his children. He allowed them to grow in their own way, and he had always been proud of Asagiri, who had grown to be like his mother and older brother more than he or Sakura.
But did he do something wrong? Was this her getting back at him for not being there for her more often? He remembered the words he spoke to her the last time Sakura had informed him of a possible crush Asagiri may have had.
"As long as it's not some loser… Or Hamura."
Were those instructions not simple enough? Was he asking for too much out of his eldest daughter?
"Father, Hamura is my boyfriend." Asagiri began to explain, smiling nervously at him. "You see, while you were gone, something happened, and… I fell in love with him…" Within a second Sasuke was between them, pushing the two apart and grasping his surprised daughter by the shoulders.
"Don't say you love him, Asagiri! You're just a girl! A child! You don't know what love is!"
"Father!" She whined in return, a deep look of embarrassment spread across her face as her father's grip on her shoulder's tightened.
"Don't worry, Uncle Sasuke. I'm really respectful to Asagiri-tteboshou." Hamura grinned wildly towards him, before his head appeared to click onto a new piece of information, instantly he grinned again. "I guess this means I can't call you Uncle Sasuke anymore. I suppose I best start calling you… Dad."
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Daddy.
"Ah!" The raven haired man exclaimed loudly. Leaning on the dinner table with one hand and clutching his chest tightly with the other.
"S-Sasuke-kun, are you okay?" Sakura approached him worriedly, placing a hand on his shoulder. She could hear how powerful his hyperventilated breaths were.
"Sakura, my chest feels really tight, and I have these pains down my arm…" He told her without looking at her, instead he looked towards Asagiri, sweat beading down his forehead. "Asagiri… tell me… this is a joke… tell me that you are not really in a relationship with him."
"I can't Father. It's something more than that. I'll admit I never expected this to happen. But I really do love him Father, please accept this."
"Yeah," His eyes moved towards Hamura, staring at him through pained filled, squinted eyes. That grin, that unfathomable grin he had hated since the boy knew how to produce it grew larger as he approached him. "It may take some time, but you'll come to accept me, Sasuke-tou-chan."
His body collapsed into a heap unto the floor, his eyes closed tightly shut, Sakura scream with horror, running to his side and begin a medical analysis on him. She reached his chest, over his heart, and her eyes widened with shock and familiarity.
'Pains in the chest and arm, hitched breath, this has happened before… with Naruto.' Her hands pressed onto his chest of his heart, green healing chakra began to flow through him. 'Four simultaneous heart attacks!' Her eyes widened, darted towards Hamura again, who looked just as shock at the scene as her. "You again!?"
-Break-
A/N: Yo! Rinne here! Ah the final Omake, Hamura apparently has the innate ability to hospitilise the most powerful Shinobi in the world. Was this Fancanon? We'll see.
Anyways, I've been meaning to do character design, and I took a little vacation, well not Vacation per se, I just stayed away from Fanfiction after finished Don't Wake Me Up, and by the time I realised that I need to do the Character designs, three weeks had past… woops.
Anyways, two of them are done, Asagiri and Hamura, the links are:
Hamura - rinne-kami. deviantart art/Hamura-Uzumaki-494896629
Asagiri - rinne-kami. deviantart art/Asagiri-Uchiha-494875395
Heiwamaru – rinne-kami. deviantart art/Heiwamaru-Uzumaki-497299754
Asahi – rinne-kami. deviantart art/Asahi-Uzumaki-497300659
Nokitai – rinne-kami. deviantart art/Nokitai-Uchiha-497304831
It's a bit superfluous putting the links in here because you can't copy from a story (unless your on the mobile version (which can be done from your desktop (third bracket for the hell of it ))), so if you search Rinne-Kamo in google my deviant art should appear
Obviously, the Epilogue has come out and we have seen Boruto, Himawari and Sarada, so if you read their bios I've added them to the family.
On Hamura's design, the tattoos are their but just not visible, I have also added whisker marks to maintain a link to canon material, read the bio, it explains everything about the clothing, tattoos and crappy colouring.
On Nokitai's design, his shirt is black, I just couldn't be bothered to colour it, hence why I only coloured his sleeves.
On the designs, if you want to comment and review them, you can leave them on deviantart if you want, but I'd prefer if you return here and review on this chapter, I don't go on deviantart a lot.
Remember there is a poll for you all to vote on if you want a sequel to Don't Wake me up, it's on my profile, feel free to vote.
Now I've finally updated all the kids from my epilogue, if you read their bios theres some news hidden in there, but screw it I'll tell you now, a sequel is in the works! It will be out spring 2015 and will be a mini-series, oh wait that's canon… my sequel will be await soon, hopefully by the end of next week, I'm a little scared to be honest, because it's going to be very OC based, how many people will read it?
Now to begin the gruelling process of answering reviews.
Sorry Fanfike, this really is the last time this time.
