Spring Festival Rivalry: Uchiha vs. Hyuuga!

After a long and cold winter, finally the Spring Festival came. Everyone dressed up in their most colorful kimono and joined the activities outside. Families visited the shrines and temples, friends gathered at the many wine houses and children played on the fields of grass under the trees, covered in blossoms.
Sakura and Hinata walked side by side through the flower-filled fields to the market, carrying their daughters. The two little girls looked very alike: both dressed in a kimono with traditional patterns, their hair tied up in two ponytails that made them look incredibly cute. The only difference was the color of their hair (though they did match their mothers in that), and their behavior. Chikara eyed the black-haired Yuki with a scowl. Why was that little wimp imitating her hairstyle? Yuki had big blue eyes and flashed a charming, shy smile at the other girl. Chikara glared at her, dark eyes burning. How dared that girl be to cuter than her?! Yuki blushed and clung tightly to her mother's kimono, scared by the other girl's look.
"Yuki, sweety, please don't pull my clothes," Hinata absently removed her daughter's hand from her collar and continued chatting with Sakura. They reached the village, and Sakura looked around for her husband. She found him by the temple, in the middle of a glaring contest with Hyuuga Neji.
They just happened to walk past each other, and of course couldn't resist giving the other a cold and haughty look. Sakura sighed. The only thing preventing them from sparring on the spot was that their arms were currently full with their sons. Not that it mattered though, Yumemaru stuck out his tongue to Mizu, who was clinging to his father's back and answered the gesture. Hiyo pointed behind the Uchiha:
"Auntie!"
"Good morning, nii-san," Hinata greeted. "Hi, Mizu, Hiyo. Hello, Uchiha-san."
Sasuke bowed stiffly for her, holding his son a little tighter as if she would want to steal him (although even if she wanted that, she still had her hands full with her own daughter). Then he greeted his wife.
"Hello, Sakura. I was on my way to the temple, will you join me?"
"Of course," Sakura smiled.
"We will come with you, Uchiha-san," Neji said. "The ceremony starts soon."
Hinata nodded. "Yes, but I'm sure they will wait for us."
"Anyway, we should better hurry," Sakura said. "Children, behave!" Chikara stopped making faces to Hiyo and turned her head, but her mother didn't get the guilty look she wanted to see. She sighed again. Couldn’t they forget their “rivalry” for one second? The group started walking into the direction of the temple. Neji hoisted Mizu a little higher on his back, and Sasuke muttered under his breath: "I'll get you back later, when you're done playing housewife. You're better with children than Tenten is."
"And you're the one wearing a kimono with more flowers on it than your wife," Neji replied just as silently. Chikara exchanged a look with her brother, and both rolled their eyes. As if those Hyuuga had so much style in clothing. They were all birds and symbols and swirls, and then they dared to insult the relatively simple blossom pattern on Sasuke's kimono!
"Well, I don't have to proof my manliness with twin sons," Sasuke shot back. Chikara grinned. Good one, daddy! Tackle him on his weak points! She crinkled her nose at Mizu again.
"At least I have sons. I guess your two girls suit you quite well." Ooh, that one hurt. Yumemaru frowned.
"Don't you dare insulting my son," Sasuke hissed. Sakura released one arm from her grip on Chikara and tugged at her husband's sleeve. "Please, spare your insults for when you're sparring. Now is the time to be happy."
Sasuke nodded slowly, and Neji silently agreed too. Soon they were talking amiably, and only their children were continuing the ever on-going rivalry between Hyuuga and Uchiha.
