Chapter One

Since he decided to become a Shinobi he knew that he would see death and at times be the one to deliver it but he never thought that he would see this. His father was laying on the floor in a pool of blood with a knife in his hand. He knew his father had been different since that mission but he thought things had been getting better. In his arms he felt the bundle he carried squirm and start to whimper like she knew something bad had happened. Kakashi looked down at his sister Sakura with her bright pink hair while he had tears in his eyes. He frowned and thought what was he going to do he was barely old enough to take care of himself nonetheless a baby. His father Sakumo Hakate had taken his own life in their home leaving his children all alone.

Kakashi closed his eyes and breathed out slowly while rocking his sister to calm his and her turbulent emotions before he left the house. The Hokage's tower was not far from his home so he figured that would be the best place to go. If he could not go there he could always find his Sensei, who was most likely with Kushina as they were married not long ago. He hated to bother them so he would wait to see what the Hokage said first. As he got closer to the tower he sighed and tried to figure out how he was going to say everything. Sakura started to whimper again in hunger and internally Kakashi stopped walking and started to panic he had no idea what to do. As she started to cry loudly he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. Kakashi tensed for a second before he recognized the chakra of his Sensei and new wife. "Hey Kakashi is everything ok?" Minato asked as he noticed the look on Kakashi's face.

Kakashi looked at Minato and almost started to cry again but he was able to stop himself he did not want to look weak in front of his Sensei. "I don't know what to do Minato-Sensei. We are all alone now and I just don't know what to do" He replied after a moment.

Kushina frowned and shared a look with Minato before she crouched down to Kakashi's level and said "What do you mean your all alone isn't your father at home? I know you just lost your mother but that doesn't mean he won't still care for you and Sakura."

He shook his head slowly and took a deep breath to control his emotions and replied while looking into her eyes. "Obito and Rin had wanted to meet Sakura since they were not able to make it to the hospital after her birth. Father told me to take her to the training grounds to meet them and then come back after. I was there barely an hour because I knew Sakura is a baby and would need food soon but when I got home he was on the floor in a puddle of blood… The knife was still in his hand. I… I… don't know what to do I can't raise Sakura I can barely raise myself…"

Kushina looked to be almost in tears and flung her arms around Kakashi being careful of the pink bundle he was holding tightly to his chest. Minato put his hand on Kakashi's head with a sad smile ruffled his hair before saying "Don't worry too much about what to do Kakashi. You've got people to help you. I'm here same as Kushina, Rin, and Obito. We see you as family already so we will always be willing to help. Let's get you to the Hokage since I'm assuming that's where you were going to begin with."

All Kakashi could do was nod as Kushina let him and Sakura go. He was afraid that if he tried to talk then his voice would crack and he did not want that to happen. Sakura broke the tense atmosphere up with another loud cry of hunger making Kakashi jump slightly. He looked down at her and tried to rock her which did not work before looking at Minato and Kushina with huge eyes that screamed "help me."

Kushina giggled slightly even though she was sad about the children's loss. "If you want to I'll take her and find a way to get her fed while you two go to the Hokage's office. Kind of hard to talk with a crying child and I think the Hokage will have a number of questions for you."

Kakashi looked down at Sakura conflicted for a few moments. She was the only biological family he had left and he wasn't sure if he was ready to let her go yet. He handed her to Kushina after he kissed her forehead and whispered "I love you Sakura. I won't be gone long. Be good for Kushina please." He knew she wouldn't understand what he said but he felt better after saying it.

Kushina took Sakura with a smile and gave Minato a kiss before taking off with a crying child to find her formula to drink. Luckily Kushina was able to find it quickly and start feeding Sakura. Villagers had started giving her weird looks wondering when the wife of the famous Yellow Flash had a child and how they missed her being pregnant to begin with. She paid no mind to the whispers of the villagers and just cooed to Sakura as she drank the formula at a rapid pace. "You might want to have her slow down before she gets some in her lungs while breathing. By the way since when did you have a child Kushina and why the hell did your best friend not know anything about it?" A voice said from behind her.

Kushina turned around with a smile while taking the bottle away from Sakura for a moment to let her breath per her friend's advice. Sakura whimpered slightly at the bottle being taken away but did not start to cry again yet. Mikoto stood there with a slight frown with her own child Itachi who was not much older than Sakura against her chest. "She's Kakashi's sister Sakura she's only a couple weeks old. Something that I won't go into at their home and I'm watching her real quick while Kakashi and Minato talk to the Hokage. She's a cutie though isn't she?" Kushina replied.

"I hope whatever happened is resolved soon I would hate for something to happen to their family right after the loss of their mother. It's so sad what happened I had hoped that with her birth it could help Sakumo out of whatever funk he had fallen into since that mission. I wish the rest of the village had understood his choice and why he made it. It's hard to fault someone with a decision like that when they don't know what they would have done if given the same choice. Though she is very much a cutie but looking at her hair she could almost look like yours and Minato's instead of Sakumo's" Mikoto said with a laugh at the end.

"The Hokage tried to quell the tension involving that mission but it seemed like the council and the villagers did not care about anything other than the mission was a failure." Kushina said before looked at Sakura closely before continuing "She does look like that at first but you can defiantly se Kakashi, Sakumo, and Kyra in her as well."

"You knew them better than I did so I guess you are right. Though I have to get going was just getting some groceries and going for a walk with Itachi before I started dinner. I'll see you on Friday for girl's night right? Also if you are going to be watching that little cutie more when she gets a little older we should set up play dates for her and Itachi." Mikoto said as she started to walk away with a wave.

"Of course I'll be there I never miss one of our girl's night's unless I'm on a mission I will meet you at the bar then. I think that would be wonderful depending on all that happens I will defiantly take you up on that offer." Kushina replied with a smile as she started to let Sakura drink from the bottle again.

Meanwhile with Kakashi and Minato…

Minato looked at Kakashi with a sad smile again feeling horrible that this had to happen to his student. Why did he have to go through so much heartache at one time? First his mother then his father what was next. He tried the lighten the mood at least a little bit with his next comment "Giving Kushina your sister is going to be hell for me next thing I know she will be bugging me for a kid and I don't know if I can deal with a mini Kushina."

Kakashi chuckled slightly and looked at his Sensei before jumping on the nearest roof to run to the Hokage Tower. "Well Sakura might be good practice you never know you did just get married. I will need help raising her anyways and you did already offer to help." He replied happy for the subject change.

The Yellow Flash of Konoha groaned slightly knowing Kakashi was right and he would never push either of those children out when they needed his help. He just knew that he most likely would have a new adopted daughter at home when he got there. Kushina was going to put her foot down and he knew it and he could not say no to her most days. He quickly flash stepped to Kakashi's side and ran with him the rest of the way to the tower in silence. Once they did make it the Hokage was in a meeting with a returning team so they had to wait a bit to see him. As the team of Jonin walked out of the Hokage's office they were summoned inside to see him. The Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind the desk and looked at the two in surprise before leaning forward with his hands under his chin. "Minato, Kakashi how may I help you today?" He asked.

Kakashi was silent for a second and was about to explain the story but Minato put his hand on his shoulder. Kakashi gave a sigh of relief as he realized he wouldn't have to tell the story again so soon. "Kakashi was out showing his team his sister and when he got back it turns out that Sakumo took his life sadly." Minato said with a grim tone.

Hiruzen sat up in surprise and scowled. One of his best Shinobi took his own life that was a major issue. He looked at one of the Anbu agents by the door and nodded at him. The Anbu agent disappeared in a cloud of smoke and went to the Hakate residence to confirm the story and collet the evidence and body. "I knew that he was depressed after the mission but I never thought that is would happen. Especially after little Sakura was born. I thought she and Kakashi might help him out of his depression. Seems I was wrong I should have forced him to see a Yamanka for therapy."

"It's not just your fault lord Hokage we all looked to the side and did not push something that could have potentially helped him." Minato replied

"Now I have to find someone to at least care for Sakura. I can't send Kakashi on missions if he is taking care of his infant sister. I really do not want to put an infant in the orphanage if I can help it." Hiruzen said with a sigh.

Kakashi stiffened when Hiruzen mentioned the Orphanage. He was not about to let the Hokage put his sister there. They would treat her horribly just because of who her father was. He was about to protest it when Minato squeezed his shoulder and looked down at him. "I don't think you'll have to look to hard Hokage Kushina and I would gladly take both her and Kakashi in if he is willing. You've said yourself that when you step down in a few years you want me to step up so I won't be gone too much at that point. Until then I don't think Kushina would care taking less missions to help care for Sakura. I'm pretty sure she has already fallen in love with her and will demand to keep her when I get home anyways." Minato said with a slight bow.

Hiruzen looked surprised once again but as he thought about it he shouldn't have been. There is no doubt about it that Minato cares for his team and would be an amazing father if given the chance. "Ok Minato I'll agree to it for now. What we will do is you will go home and talk to your wife about it and if you are still up for it tomorrow then I will have the papers set up for you to sign." The Hokage said with a slight smile.

"If that is all we will take our leave before Kushina goes crazy with Sakura." Minato said as both he and Kakashi bowed.

"Farewell and Kakashi I and sorry and saddened for your loss we will set up a funeral for him."

Kakashi nodded in thanks slightly still not trusting his voice before following his Sensei out of the Hokage's office. "How much do you think Kushina has already bought for Sakura?" Kakashi asked with a slight grin as he looked at Minato hoping to change the subject completely and get his mind off his father's body.

Minato tripped slight at the thought but caught himself. Knowing Kushina even if he hadn't wanted to he was going to come home to a room already set for Sakura. When they made it back to his family's home he was right a room had already been set up and painted somehow in the short time they were gone. Kushina didn't say anything about it but he figured it was her way of saying that they were keeping Sakura. She looked at Kakashi and said with a smile "You are welcome to stay here as well if you want."

Kakashi laughed and it felt good too. He smiled at her and replied "I might for a while before I get back on my feet and maybe find another place to stay. Though expect me over a lot to see my sister."

Minato smiled and put his hand on Kakashi's head again and replied "I wouldn't have it any other way Kakashi. You are welcome here anytime. Especially as long as your sister is here."

"Oh? Didn't I tell you already? She's not leaving you think I'll let something this cute go?" Was all he heard from Kushina.

Minato and Kakashi just looked at each other and laughed. Kakashi was still upset about his father but he was happy that he and his sister found a place where they could stay.
