OOOOO

"I'm pregnant," she, the woman who would fade away in Kakashi's mind years later, had spoken to a young man who unprepared to be a father.

Obviously at the time, she'd sensed his demeanour, "It's alright, Daddy's taking me to the clinic, i'll get an abortion." She had said them so carefree.

Those words had numbed Kakashi, frozen him in his place. Though he wanted nothing to do with the children he had no love for, he didn't want them to be denied the chance of life either.

"No?" she had said as a response to Kakashi's immediate retort, "adoption? But i'll get fat and people will notice."

Kakashi shook his head, and came up with another alternative.

"Jutsu?" the pretty blond had replied, twirling a strand of her hair, "hide the pregnancy, but what about the pain?"

Kakashi shrugged, unsure of what to do or say in response to that.

"Guess i'll just deal with it, right? I mean you've dealt with pain before, i'm the niece of the feudal lord, I should be able to cope too."

And for nine months, the two stayed together, close knit and unbreakable. However, the Lady give birth to Kakashi's children, to Kakashi's twins. And as it had been planned before, they were given up to the adoption agency before they could even open their eyes.

And shortly after, the Lady had found a new love, and Kakashi had stopped loving. The two split and never saw each other again, their past and relationship known to only a few.

It ended with a drunken one night stand, and began with two white haired orphans.

OOOOO

A seventeen year old Iruka stared intently at the two children wrapped in bundles of blankets before him. He knew he should have been recovering rather than sneaking into the nursery in the middle of the night, but recently the young chunin felt like breaking the rules.

Holding on to his IV stand, be bent down and peaked his head further into the crib that both children occupied. They were young, very young, most likely just recently born.

In his heart, he felt a twinge of sadness as he took in their features. When being first admitted into the hospital, Mizuki had told him about some rumors speculating around the village, all involving Kakashi and his pregnant "girlfriend" who happened to be the niece of the Feudal Lord. Mizuki had reassured him that they were just rumors, knowing how Iruka thought about Kakashi, nothing more.

But looking at the identical features, looking at the white hair, Iruka knew the rumors weren't just rumors, they were real.

But still, Kakashi was a well known Jounin, he was practically wealthy. And this girl was apparently the feudal lord's niece, where were they?

"Aren't we supposed to be in bed?" an aged voice had called from behind Iruka. Swiftly, the seventeen year old twirled around, grabbing his stand for support.

"Hokage...sama, I was just," he drawled off, not entirely sure of what to say, "they're Kakashi's, aren't they?"

"Not anymore," the Hokage walked over to the thin boy, taking in his sickly features, "they were never going to be there's to begin with." The aged man looked into the crib.

"Oh," Iruka replied, his head suddenly dropping. From the beginning, had the initial plan been for these two to be denied love?

"They're twins, a girl and a boy. The girl will be an amazing ninja, I can tell that by looking at her, the boy however," his voice lowered, and he viewed the male with heavy eyes, "is blind."

Another blow to his chest, and Iruka felt his hand slowly cradling his heart.

"At such a young age?" he said a loud. The Hokage nodded, "Kakashi and his "misses" were drunk, and my speculations are she continued to drink throughout her pregnancy, and naturally, someone had to pay for it."

Suddenly, a flame of enragement sparked up in Iruka's heart, rage directed towards the two parents.

However, the Hokage's melancholy voice pulled him back to earth.

"She, the baby girl, would have been adopted sooner had the father, Kakashi, not made a request," he began. Iruka listened intently.

"That they too be adopted together, yet no family seems to want a blind son."

Figures. This was Konoha, a military village, there was no need for a blind child. Despite this, without hesitation, without even thinking, Iruka made the offer of a lifetime.

"Then, let me watch them...let me care for them?"the sickly boy, no older than seventeen, spoke sweetly, "so they won't have to rot away in an orphanage..."

The Hokage looked at him, his eyes intent and hard, "You Iruka? Don't make me laugh. You're still a child yourself, and not to mention, you've just recently relapsed into your illness as a result of your training."

"Meaning I will never be a jounin, I'll only leave the village for easy missions, and I'll be at home a lot to watch these two, "he argued, not knowing exactly why he was trying to stand up for them.

"Well," the Hokage began, obviously thinking this over, thinking hard"they must be adopted together...and no one will take on a blind son, it will be enough to dishonor an entire family...But seeing as you don't care, as of now...i'll place them in your name. However," Iruka stopped to listen, biting his bottom lip in triumph, "you'll continue to recover in the hospital. When you're released, you'll be learning to care for them. Until then, they'll be watched by nurses, but you'll be able to see them every day...Is this okay?"

A smile etched across Iruka's features, "Yeah...yeah it's fine," he looked at the two children, he looked as his children, "Do they have names?"

"Thing one and thing two.." the Hokage chided, receiving a surprised look from Iruka. The Hokage cleared his throat, "As of now, no, so i guess that will be left up to you later."

Iruka nodded, already contemplating an enormous lists of names fit to describe the two below him.

"Now Iruka, please return to your bed, the nurses will chew me out if they see you out and about like this, " The Hokage joked as he grabbed the young boy by the arm, "don't just stand there, they'll be here in the morning and they'll still be yours. Get your sleep Iruka, you'll need it. Caring for children isn't an easy task. Trust me, i'm a lot younger than I look."

Iruka looked back at the two as the Hokage dragged him away, a feeling of fulfillment and joy filling his heart with every step he took back towards his room.

"They'll be here in the morning and they'll still be yours."

He didn't know why he offered, but he figured it was because he knew how harsh orphanages were. He knew how hard a blind boy would struggle when the entire world would be dark to him, and he knew the feeling of being ignored as well as being split apart from your family. Iruka wouldn't allow them to suffer like he had, he wouldn't allow them to cry in agony and despair as he had. He would love them and care for them, even if they were the children of the one he loved and the one he hated.

They were children, innocent children. And though they would eventually to experience the real world when they got older, Iruka vowed to protect their innocence for as long as he could.
