“But I want ramen!”
 
Tsunade felt her temper rising.
 
“Too much ramen isn't good for the babies! You need to eat healthy food!”
 
She held out a carrot for him to take, but he made a gagging noise and turned his head away. The door opened and Riku stepped in with Kasumi in tow. The babies were nestled snugly in Kasumi's arms, sleeping soundly. Tsunade looked up as they came in and almost cried with relief.
 
“Riku, you can get him to eat, right?”
 
Riku looked at the carrot in her hand then at Naruto's upturned face. He sighed and said,
 
“I can try.”
 
“Good. I have other patients to tend to and don't have time to force feed him vegetables.”
 
Riku took the carrot from her and watched as she left. She was a good person, but she had a low patience level. The door closed behind her and he turned to Naruto who was observing him with one eye closed.
 
“You're going to have to eat it sooner or later.”
 
Naruto stuck out his tongue and turned his head away. Fortunately, Riku knew exactly which buttons to push.
 
“Your eyesight must be pretty bad if you don't eat carrots.”
 
Naruto looked at him and said,
 
“My eyesight is fine!”
 
Riku put on a challenging smirk and said,
 
“Prove it. I bet you can't catch pieces of carrot in your mouth.”
 
Naruto, being cleverer than most people take him for, shook his head and replied,
 
“Oh no! I'm not falling for that! I won't eat it!”
 
Riku smiled and said,
 
“Alright.”
 
Thinking he had won, Naruto smiled and said,
 
“Great! Now please get me some...”
 
“Unless you're chicken.”
 
Naruto looked at Riku indignantly and said loudly,
 
“What?! I am NOT chicken!”
 
Riku stood by the bed and handed Naruto the carrot. Naruto accepted it, however unwillingly, and looked at it as if it were a stinkbug. He groaned and started,
 
“Do I have to...?”
 
Riku nodded and Naruto looked as if he had been given the death penalty. He stared at the carrot and said,
 
“You're my favorite color, but you're still ugly.”
 
Kasumi giggled over in the corner and Riku thought up a new plan. He took the carrot and bit off a decent sized piece. He moved his fingers over Naruto's eyes and they closed unwillingly. Riku kissed Naruto, forcing the carrot into his mouth. He pulled away and watched as Naruto chewed and swallowed.
 
For a moment, Naruto looked spellbound. When he swallowed, he looked back up at Riku and said,
 
“Well, it didn't taste that bad when you did that.”
 
“Am I going to have to feed you the rest of the carrot like that?” Riku asked.
 
“Would it be so bad if you did?”
 
Riku smiled. “Not really.”
 
Needless to say, Naruto enjoyed the carrot.
 
 
~Meanwhile: In another room”
 
Sora put an arm around Sasuke and rested his head on the older man's shoulder.
 
“It looks like it's you and me,” he said, wondering if Sasuke felt the same way about him that he was beginning to feel about Sasuke.
 
“So it seems,” Sasuke replied, putting his arm around Sora.
 
Sora sighed. He had expected to be more heartbroken over Riku, and he might have been if he hadn't met Sasuke. But he had met Sasuke and his heart was not broken.
 
“You hungry?” Sasuke asked.
 
Sora nodded. “Just a little.” He told Sasuke, his stomach growling loudly.
 
“Just a little, huh?”
 
Sora gave Sasuke a guilty smile.
 
As they stood up to head off to get something to eat, they heard one of the babies, then the other begin to wail.
 
Sora started to head in their direction, then stopped, reminding himself that they were his children only in the genetic sense. In every other way, they belonged to Riku and Naruto. He would never see their first steps. Nor would he hear their first words.
 
First chance he got, he decided, he was going to gather up Sasuke and head back to Destiny Islands.
 
“What's on your mind?”
 
“I was just thinking we should go back to Destiny Islands,” Sora told Sasuke.
 
“Why?” Sasuke asked.
 
“I'd rather not stay here,” Sora said, looking back in the direction where Riku's hospital room was.
 
“Oh,” Sasuke said, sounding disappointed.
 
“You want to stay here, don't you?” Sora realized.
 
Sasuke nodded. “I grew up here,” he explained.
 
“It's okay,” Sora's shoulders sagged. “I understand. I'd better go.”
 
He stood up and walked off. Sasuke watching silently as he went.
