Before you were born

By Deep Blue Dragon

Summary: When Kakashi is given his father's diary he discovers that there's more to the man then he knew. He even learns about his mother from the words his father wrote long before he was born.

Chapter One

I stood in Tsunade's office waiting for her to look up from her paperwork and sake, and for her to say something, curious as to why she had called me back in after so shortly completing an A-Ranked mission. Hell my body is still somewhat depleted of chakra.

"Hatake, are you listening to me?"

"Uh…" I asked, my mind no longer wandering.

"Brat…" The hokage muttered as she picked up an old black leather bound book. "This was found a few days ago, do you know what it is?"

"A book" I replied, bored and pulling out my own orange book, I stopped however when she spoke.

"Yes smartass it's a book, but this book isn't just any book, do you know why?"

"No ma'am." I answered, beginning to become annoyed. 'Damn you, you old hag just get to the fucking point.'

"This book, is really a dairy."

"So, what does this have to do with me?"

"It was found in the Hatake archives, and it was written…"

"What were you doing in my family archives, you have no RIGHT." I growled

"NO…NO RIGHT, BRAT IM THE HOKAGE I CAN DO WHATEVER I PLEASE. The point is your father wrote this diary."

I felt my face heat up in anger and I thanked god for my mask. How dare she bring up my father, he was the last person I ever wanted to think about. He left me, his seven year old son, to defend for myself (Not that I couldn't because I did.) But that's not the point.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to read it. I think it'd be a good thing for you, you can learn more about your father."

"I don't want anything to do with my DAD." I said still frowning.

"God damn it brat, just take the fucking book and read it. Now get the hell out of here and go home I don't want you to do anything but relax for the next week, which means no missions got it?"

"Fine" I said snatching the book out of her hand and leaving through the window just to piss her off even more. I decided to walk home to calm myself down, last thing I wanted to do was tear up my apartment again. On the way I debated with myself if I should read the book like she asked I really didn't want to as I would be invading his privacy, but then again he is dead so… I made up my mind I would read the damn thing. Maybe… just maybe I could find out why he decided to leave me when I needed him the most.

After I reached my little apartment I removed my ninja gear, made myself something to eat, grabbed a drink and sat down on the couch. Taking a deep breath I couldn't help but criticize myself. Why was I afraid to read a book? I closed my eyes and cracked open the book. I could tell that Tsunade had not opened it herself which I felt grateful for. I really don't want her to get in my business anymore then she already had. With another deep breath I began reading and from the first page I found myself hooked.
