Being busy is a lot better than being bored. It's strange to be working in a new medical center, but ... it's a good thing.

Maybe things are looking up.

Old friends speaking to me again.

Cute guys flirting with me -- even if I know it's just flirting, it's still nice.

Life is getting back to normal around here I think.

Oto - A gift card to the same store Rin got him a gift card last year.

Aka - Cash, in an envelope, saiying 'Get yourself some shoes and whatever else you want. You aren't on a leash or anyone's pet -- so no strings attached. If you ever need me, please just come find me.'

nk - Gift cert to the Raman place as well as a small pack of first aid suuplies, mostly various salves that are all made by Rin.

((A package was delivered to nk!Kakashi.  It is unsigned,  Contained within is a nice waterproof cloak for missions as well as a tub of a salve for use on contusions.  The salve is home made and something Rin has known how to make for a long time, and more to identify the giver of the gift than anything else.))

(Private but not that well locked)

He's walking. I can't believe he is walking already. He's only seven months, well almost eight, and I already have to chase him. I remeber when he was just born and such a cute little thing. His hair is getting to the point I think I need to cut it soon, but he had that pretty black hair when he was born too.

Hituki is getting so big now too. She moved up a size in clothes and she is so much more coordinated now with her training. She's going to be three soon. They're growing up so fast. She is talking up a storm and they are both so peceptive.


Arashi is eating a lot of solid food now, he wants to try anything I am eating. He is even starting to figure out a sippy cup. I was worried with how much he hates bottles that he wouldn't like sippy cups, but he does. He's not going to be a baby for much longer.

<Unhackable to all but oto!sasuke>

I can't believe, well I can believe, Kakashi is getting married.

He wants me to help his girlfriend plan or something.

I feel like I have planned weddings so many times. I can't believe I am actually still hauling arounf Gai's green suit.  Well, and hauling around my wedding Kimono.  I never had a dress to go with the suit.  Maybe someday Hitsuki will want to wear my Kimono, it is a family heirloom. 

<private>
I wonder what my brothers are doing for Itachi's birthday.
</private>

<OOC>
Evil Itachi - A package was left outside his room from Rin with a nice leather boung journal nearly wrapped.  Of course since it has her name on it, it will probably never even be opened.
ANBU Itachi - A package with some various pictures she had of Itachi and Sasuke as well as the kid was left.  Additionally there are some new training clothes as well as a nice water proof that is lighter weight and suitable for summer.
</ooc>

My knee is still jarred from training.

Everything else is going as well as I guess it can be expected. I think I'll be staying in for a while until my knee is feeling better

(private)
I can't believe how lucky I was to not have lost more blood. He hit it perfectly, avoiding the bone and ripping through tendons an arteries. I need to do something about it more ... I think I can numb it up enough with local pain killer that I will be able to operate on myself. It will just be awkward.

I need to talk to Madara too ... I'm confused.

(/private)

(Private)

I've thought over what Madara has said and there are many unknowns in it. He kept mentioning brothers, but never a sister. I am not sure if that was simply because neither he nor Sasuke had a sister, or if there is some significance to the gender.

I am starting by going over my records again about the genetic markers for the sharingan and making sure I did not miss any that appear to be tie into gender selection.

Honestly, I am not finding any sort of a gender link at this point though, so i believe the possession of various forms of the sharingan to be gender neutral. It will take a little more time to make sure though.

I think the kids and I caught something. Whatever it is, it isn't that bad, even Arashi isn't that sick, but that could be because he is getting antibodies from me.

Hitsuki is just a little sniffly, other than that, we just all spent mother's day not doing a lot.

The flowers Sasuke got me are beautiful. He always does such a nice job when he gets me flowers. I think Hitsuki is developing my sweet tooth though. I had to put the chocolates up o she wouldn't get into them. Her daddy is very serious about her not having too many sweets at one time.

I miss him, I hope he gets home soon from wherever he is.

The children are growing up so fast.  Now that life isn't measured in weeks, it seems time is flying.  Hitsuki's chakra control is coming along so well.  I've been working with her, and she is going to start water walking soon.  With the nice weather, it'll be a good excuse to be outside with her in the fresh air.  I know it's a little early, but she is showing all the natuaral skill of her father.

Arashi is adorable.  He is growing so fast.  He has almost gotten crawling figured out.  He kind of does this army crawl, he just has no patience for waiting for his body to develope, he is always pushing himself.  his inate drive is amazing, I love him so much.  Hitsuki is even getting used to the idea of having a little brother -- and that we are not trading him in on a little sister.

( Rin's writings )

I've been trying to find out what happened in Konoha. I don't know a lot, but ... it seems all of my friends are gone. All the people I worked with. The babies I've taken care of -- gone. Having had this happen before doesn't make it any easier.

Thank kami Hitsuki and Arashi are safe. I've been hoping to hear word from anyone else I know. We still have family unaccounted for.

I didn't even realize it was white day the other day. Its such a strange holiday, and just seems out of place.

Normally I buy sweets on clearence the day after. I didn't even get to do that this year.

I wanted anyone who is worried to know I am OK though.

((Locked very well. Unless you have access to Rin's computer, not hackable))

I didn't even realize yesterday was white day. I don't like this place. It doesn't seem like a good place for the children, and I won't leave my room without something marking my as being with Sasuke.

The baby is taking the relocation very well, and I think having so much of her stuff here is helping Hitsuki adjust a bit better.

I hope Sasuke and Tachi spent the day together. They deserve ... Kami with all the hell they have been put through, they deserve so much more than a day.

I visited my mother's grave today. Well, of course not my mother, but the Rin from here, her mother. In a way, I don't know if that makes her mine as well. It's such an out of the way place she is burried, off in a forgotten corner with all the other forgotten people, but I think she'd have liked it there. In a way, it is more peaceful than the more popular areas.

I told Hitsuki more about her relatives, she helped me do some cleaning at the shrine. I at least was lucky enough to remember my mother. Hitsuki will never remeber hers. No matter what I do, I can never change that. I just hope I am giving her what she does need. I don't know if she is old enough to understand that just because she can call me mama, and I am the one here for her and love her as if she were my own ... maybe it doesn't make any difference. She is loved and adored. I love the children, so much. I worry about them, to grow up in this place with the name Uchiha can not be easy.

This is my work in progress list of who we need

From the New Konoha

Sasuke
Sakura
Naruto
Kakashi

From the existing world

Gaara
Temari
Kankurou



AU characters we would like to see

Anyone from Team Yellow Flash

I didn't realize how much I missed the hospital until today. I brought Arashi in for his two month physical, and he is doing so well. He is growing well and hitting all of his milestones. He was a little handful though, trying to grab the doctors stethoscope and everything.

While I was just finishing up, a surgeon I used to work with found out I was there and I ended up being dragged into the OR while a friend of mine in Pediatrics amused the children. It has been so long since I was able to actually operate. It was quick, he just needed a second pair of hands -- but I miss that feeling.

Arashi is still too little for me to go back, but -- I miss it so much.

Madara's warning has me worried. I don't even want to let the kids out of my sight for a moment. I've keep supplies on me or by my bed at all times in scrolls. I need to keep them safe, I can't even express how much the children mean to me.

((Meant to be private but Rin was too distracted to get it right))

I don't understand the point of valentines day. It is just a day of unrealistic expectations that no one can meet and exclusion. if you are with someone, television and advertisers get your expectations beyond what anyone could do and if you aren't, it's as if the entire holiday was designed to just rub salt in the wound


If someone loves someone, wouldn't it be better to show it every day in little ways? I thinkI'll just stay in my room the whole day.

Itachi moved in. All of his stuff was around and Hitsuki was so excited about her uncle when I finally made it downstairs to find something to eat.

Sasuke? Can I get you to pick up groceries if I send the list to your cell?

The baby is growing well. He's starting to be much more vocal though. The first two weeks he was soo calm and slept almost all the time, now he is getting a lot more fussy. I hope the new PJs I ordered get here soon, but I really need to do laundry.

Itachi? Do you want to do laundry?
