"Oh. Yes. Of course." Shika blushed too. "So... um... wanna... go home?" The atmosphere in the room had gotten awkward since Akemi's question, and he was trying to break the ice by changing the subject.
~*~
"I was just wondering--you know--I mean, I bet they don't even notice I'm gone." Bakiri sighed. "I just wondered... what my life would be like if I was still there."
~*~
The room was filled with happy children drawing at the birthday party of a normal, sweet eight-year-old boy: Sasugay. His father and stepfather, Dave and Rod, stood beaming at the kids' drawings. A cat. A football player. A rocketship.
A detailed diagram of a peenis.
Sasugay held hid drawing up to his fathers for support. Dave laughed and praised his son's artistic talent, but Rod disapproved. "Did you draw anything ELSE, Sasu?" he asked.
Sasugay smiled and held up a doodle of two men having sex. "Well, it's not done yet, but how's that so far? I still need to add more detail..."
Dave smiled too. "Very nice, Ugay! Very nice."
Rod frowned and whispered, "Can we have a father-to-father talk, David?"
"Well, sure, Rodney, why not...?"

Suki turned very red as Lee approached her. He was inches from her face. She averted her eyes and whispered something inaudable, looking intently at the ground.
Lee said, "What? Suki, I can't hear you. Please speak louder!"
"I said, 'I think I love you'!" she yelled, grabbing Lee's shoulders and starting to lose her self-control. "I've loved you for a long time now! I love your personality, your passion! And maybe, just maybe, you can share that passion, if only a little, with... me."

"What have you been exposing our boy to?!" demanded Rod, the moment they were alone.
"Well, Rodney, he needs sexual education... he can't get by in life without knowing the facts."
"He does not need to know these things at age eight! You've raised him to be gay, but he should have free choice as to what he wants to be, awkward silence birth or not!"
"Do you WANT a straight son, Rod?"
"Well, no..."
"I'm sure it's fine. I bet every kid goes through a phase like this at some point in their life. You'll see."

Lee gasped, but closed his mouth. He touched Suki's cheek and said, "Really?"
"Yes. I promise." Suki pulled Lee's face onto hers, kissing him for the first time in her life. Her first kiss was shared with Lee, and for that, she had no regret. She broke it and smiled. "Lee, if I wasn't dead serious, would I kiss you?"
He gave her the most romantic, sweet kiss ever thought of and said, "No. And I'm glad you're serious, about me."
~*~
Akemi nodded. "Home."
~*~
Naruto smiled. "Don't you like it here?"

Shikamaru and Akemi walked home, side-by-side, Shika standing close to his wife in case she fell, still woozy from passing out. When they arrived inside, Shika kissed her on the lips, full and wonderful and deep. It wasn't either of their first kisses, obviously, but for them it was as magical as if it was their first. Finally Shika pulled away, gazing at his love with dreamy eyes.
"Get some sleep, Ke-chan. It's late, and you had a hard day..."
~*~
"Yes, I do like it here," said Bakiri earnestly. "I love you teaching me to be a ninja, and Akemi and Shikamaru are better parents than mine ever were... but... I don't know. I could have been a prince. And, some day," he announced grandly, standing up on his chair, "if enough of my siblings died before me, I could be PHARAOH! And make sure no one ever neglected their kids again! And always played hide-and-go-seek with them, too..."

Akemi sighed, not wanting the kiss to end but living with it anyway, went upstairs to bed.
~*~
Suki and Lee, however, were never seen until midday the next day.
Suki smiled as Lee slithered his muscular arms around her waist from behind. The ground below them was warm from them lying on it all night. Suki was truly happy. She put her hands on top of Lee's, squeezing them gently. "Lee, thank you. I love you."
"I know, or you wouldn't have stayed last night." Kissing her neck softly and sweetly, Lee slightly tighened his grip on Suki, making her whimper. "Sorry."
"It's fine." Suki smiled tenderly at Lee. She knew she might get pregnant, but she didn't care at all. She loved the jet black haired jounin and she wanted to bear his children. Suki rolled over and kissed Lee full on the mouth as romantically as she could. "I want to be with you forever, my love."
"Me too, Suki-chan." Lee nuzzled her nose and neck. "I love you more than anything in the world."

Shikamaru woke up early for some reason, and went downstairs to fix himself breakfast. Of course, he's not much of a cook, so that meant burnt toast. With butter.
~*~
Rod was walking down the hallway at his investment banker firm thing, when he walked past a pretty girl in her 20s. She stoped, staring at him intently. Rod blinked. The girl laughed happily, as if she'd just figured something important out.
"Do I know you?" asked Rod nervously.
"Of course you do!" said the girl, smiling. "You're Rod, right? I'm Faith. Remember me?"

Akemi woke up in a cold sweat and relayed her terrifying dream in her mind's eye:
She was in front of a big, scary European castle with huge double-doors. She pushed one open with a *creak* and a void sucked her into the castle. She couldn't find anything but endless corridors, and she ran all over only to find more hallways. She leaned against a wall and saw some red liquid dripping from the ceiling from a body. It was freshly dead, tied up against the edges of the ceiling. She saw red eyes like the Sharingan close in on her--and gave her the same fate.
Akemi shot up in bed, sweaty and scared. She ambled downstairs and, unbeknownst to her, she was crying. "Shikamaru? I had a really bad nightmare."

Shika, not really understanding the magnitude of the horrors of her dream, said, "I had a dream last night where a man named Pablo Hat Dance was going out with Hotep." He laughed. "What was yours about?" Suddenly he looked at her for the first time and instantly stopped smiling. "Akemi! Are you all right?"

Akemi started crying harder, and only then did she realize the tears. She fell onto Shika, sobbing and choking words, "Blood... from ceiling... Sharingan... killed me... couldn't find exit..." She knew it was only a dream, but it felt so real. She still had the imprint of it.

Shikamaru pulled his wife closer. "Oh, Ke-chan... you know it was only a dream." He cradled her to his chest. "Now you're in our world, safe and loved."
Just then there was a knock at the door.

Akemi hugged Shika tighter, not wanting to let him go. Ever. "Don't let go..." She hadn't had a nightmare this bad in seven years at least. She didn't want the comfort to end. She eventually let go so Shika could answer the door.

Shika opened it. "Hel--oh. It's YOU."
Lumiere fidgeted nervously with his hands. "Eh, Bonjour, Monsieur Shikamaru..."
Shika's eyes narrowed. That accent. Lumiere's oh-so-French accent had bugged Shika from the day they'd met. Lumi's clothes were pointlessly old-fashioned, his neck crained as if trying to look into the house and catch a glimpse of Akemi naked. Exactly how Shikamaru remembered him. Lumiere was the last thing Akemi needed right now.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Pablo Hat Dance," Shika said coldly, smiling in a cruel way. And slammed the door in Lumi's face.

Akemi approached Shika. "Who was that?"

Shika actually laughed. "Why, remember Pablo Hat Dance? Our friend from Mehico? No, duh, it was Lumiere. I slammed the door in his face. Hope you don't mind."
