Hana watched Gai train from the kitchen window, he was doing three hundred push-ups; as a six year old Sakura was running around him cheering him on while attempting to count them all.
Sakura had inherited his energetic personality, Hana's quick temper and thankfully her mother's sense of style. Hana didn't want to think about another energetic green spandex-ed ninja running around.
The world wasn't prepared for such a thing.
A proof of smoke alerted Hana of a visitor. She turned to be agreed by a gray headed porn reader.
"Hello Kakashi." Hana greeted with a smile.
"Yo" Kakashi said eyes curving into a smile.
"Here to see Gai?" Hana questioned, knowing that was unlikely.
Kakashi just gave her a look, that said clearly are you out of your mind.
"Kashi!" came an energetic yell as Sakura run into the kitchen, instantly latching on his leg.
Gai was following her, looking at the display of affection with tears streaming down his face.
"Rival, I will not allow you to steal my precious pink blossom away." Gai yelled from a dramatic pose. Only to notice no one was paying attention to him.
'Why must he be so cool' Gai whined.
"kashi, Pakkun," little Sakura pleaded tugging on Kakashi's gloved hand.
Kakashi stared down at her, only to fall victim to the puppy face.
Kakashi summon the small pug, only to have the little dog attacked with affection from the small pink headed girl.
Pakkun didn't look to upset over the sudden smothering affection, especially when she found the spot behind his ear.
Sakura picked up the small dog saying something about going to her room to play.
Kakashi sat down at a near by table, followed by Gai, who glared at him.
"You're going to spoil her Kakashi" Hana stated hearing a giggle from the other room.
"hn, Pakkun enjoys the attention." Kakashi lamely stated.
"Are you going to enroll her in the academy?" Kakashi asked, getting to point.
"Of course," Hana stated, only to receive a whine from Gai.
"Blossom, that's too dangerous." Gai stated.
"What so it's okay for you and me to be ninjas, but our daughter has be a civilian, because it's too dangerous." Hana injected with fury.
Kakashi sighed.
Gai was clueless.
Kakashi wondered why Gai bothered Hana was going to win this argument she always did.
"Well enrollment is tomorrow." Kakashi said with a sigh.
"How do you know?" Hana question cutting off Gai before he could speak.
"They signed me up as a sensei."
"Again " Hana asked shocked. "Why?" "You fail every team that they assign you."
"They are positive they will find a team youthful enough for you my eternal rival." Gai chanted happily eyes flashing determined.
"Did you say something?" Kakashi asked lamely when he felt Gai intense stare.
Hana sighed as Gai wept over the fact that Kakashi was so cool. She wondered again, why she married him.
"Gai is waiting to sign up, that way he can watch Sakura while I'm missions" Hana stated, talking to Kakashi. "But he wants to sign up so he has a chance to be her team leader." Hana finished.
"And then our teams shall be rivals." Gai cheered.
"Did you sign up to be a sensei Hana-chan?" Kakashi asked ignoring Gai. "Kurenai is thinking about it, she already an instructor"
"Yes I know, Kurenai was here yesterday and no I have one child to worry about I don't need three more, plus I'd rather have missions than baby-sit." Hana finished with a laugh.
Kakashi eye twitched, earning more giggles from Hana, Gai just smiled annoying big, as if he didn't realize what Hana just said.
Kakashi stood ready to leave, "kashi!" cheered Sakura running into room holding a bundle.
Kakashi, ruffled her hair, "hey pinky where's Pakkun?"
Sakura giggled smiling up at him, holding up the bundle. Kakashi just stared; his nin-dog was wearing a pink lacy flowery baby doll dress, complete with bonnet.
Pakkun just stared at him dazed, Sakura hugged him scratching behind his ears, and Pakkun didn't seemed too upset with his fashion statement at the moment.
Hana was barely holding in her laughs, Gai looked proud. Kakashi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Time to go." With a poof both Pakkun and Kakashi were gone.
"Sakura honey, tomorrow the first day of academy." Hana stated pulling Sakura into her lap.
"That's where you'll go to learn to be a great ninja like mommy." Hana said with a smile.
"And find your eternal rival to thrive to beat, so you're youthfulness can grow and become marvelous."
"Really?" Sakura cheered excitedly.
Gai just gave a huge shiny grin, Hana's eye twitched.
"And then you may get to be put on Kurenai or Asuma teams when you graduate." Hana said with a small smile trying to suppress the urge to hit Gai.
"Or Mine or my rival's" Gai cheered happily smiling.
"But we'll hope for the best, being Kurenai or Asuma." Hana injected, with a hopeful smile.
Gai didn't even seem to notice just kept smiling. Hana couldn't help but smile.
"So we must prepare for academy, training will be pushed up, to prepare your youthfulness to battle your rival, from now on hundred laps around Konoha." Gai cheered dramatically, striking a pose complete with crushing waves' backdrop.
Sakura cheered happily, giving a thumbs up with shiny grin.
Hana for a moment was scared she had giving birth to a female Gai; she could only hope she'd grew out of it.
The next morning Hana sat in the kitchen a few hours pass dawn, waiting for Gai and Sakura to return, from their laps.
Sakura came running in, smiling brightly, followed by an energetic Gai.
"I beat daddy, mommy!" Sakura happily cheered running around Hana jumping up and down.
"Really sweetie, go take a bath and get ready." Hana said with a smile.
"Gai-kun you must be getting old, getting beat by a six year old." Hana teased.
Gai just smiled, though it was obvious he didn't like the old comment, "it just proves that she's my daughter."
"Was there a doubt that she was?" Hana said twitching in rage.
Gai feared from his life, "of course not blossom,"
"Mommy," Sakura called from the other room.
Gai sighed in relief as Hana walked passed him to go see to Sakura.
"She just saved your life" Hana hissed from the door.
Gai shivered in fear, blossom was scary; he hoped Sakura didn't take that from her mother.
Almost an hour later Sakura and Hana came into kitchen, Sakura was pouting Hana was smiling as if she just won something.
"What's wrong little blossom?" Gai questioned looking at the pouting Sakura.
Sakura looked up at him with tearful eyes, "I lost my orange leg warmers that you got me for my birthday."
"We'll just get you another pair." Gai happily cheered, with a smile getting a big smile from Sakura.
Hana twitched, smile falling, she couldn't win.
Hana quickly looked over Sakura's outfit to make sure she didn't slip on any of the spandex her father had also gotten her for her birthday. Sandals, brown capris, green shirt so far nothing at all Gai gave her, no wait she had her weights on.
Hana didn't completely agree with Gai putting Sakura under weigh training at six years old, but she didn't want to hear a two hour long lecture on how it would improve Sakura's youthfulness; and of course he'd already infected Sakura with his nonsense, so she was against her, begging for the weights to better her youthfulness.
Hana was beginning to think she was the only sane one left.
They made it to the academy with time to spare so they visited Iruka and Kurenai.
AN: Okay that's all this time; I need to find out more about the academy so I can write this better. Also I had planned this to be a Lee/Sakura story, some people are asking for a Neji/Sakura story. Well it'll be a few chapters before it get to an actually pairing, other than one sided crushes. So I'll just leave that up to vote. Sorry for the wait on the update. This chapter maybe revised at a later date.
