Ali: Chapter 2! I'm on a roll!

Kakashi: Why is Kabuto my brother?

Ali: Because...

Kakashi: Just say the disclaimer.

Ali: I own nothing!~

Chapter Two:

First Few Days

The first day there he was drilled by Sarutobi the things necessary for raising a child. Money to pay for everything: food, clothes, shelter, etc. This was his second day living in the Sarutobi household. The first night was tiring. He was woekn up constantly to go do this and go do that for the baby. Asuma tackled him to the ground to wake him up once when his father ordered him to do it. All in all: Kakashi had never slept so little. Currently he was cradling his baby brother and feeding him. Kakashi was very worried that he'd drop the 'bundle of joy' and made sure that he had a cup of coffee before he even bothered. He yawned and the THird Hokage finally showed mercy.

"I'll take care of him," he said.

Kakashi handed him off and went to the first thing he could, the soft, carpeted floor.

"Waaaaaaaaah!"

Oh hell! Make it end! the Hatake thought as he pushed himself off the ground and walked to Kabuto's aid. Dirty diaper. He was glad that his mask to filter out the air, but the a mask was only doing so much. He changed the diaper quickly and disposed of it while he bounced the baby and walked around the house looking for Sarutobi and/or his wife.

"Lord Sarutobi! Could you please take Kabuto for a few minutes. NO answer. "Lord SArutobi?"

"He's not here," Asuma said.

Great, Kakashi thought sarcastically. "When does he get back?"

"LAter, I don't know when," Asuma admitted, yawning. "I know how to take care of babies."

Kakashi doubted it. He didn't want his brother hurt because he wasn't awake. "No, that's alright."

Still, Kakashi unconsciously continued his search for the Hokage as he headed to his room. He suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the Third's bedroom and automatically went into stealth and attack mode. He opened the door and immediately covered Kabuto's eyes before backing out and slamming the door behind him. Kakashi could have sworn he heard curses spring from the mild man's mouth and he went directly to his room and planned out how he was going to erase his memory for those short few seconds without completely embarrassing himself. There was no way that could happen.

Oh dear Kami why? he wondered.

The door opened to reveal Hiruzen in a burgundy bathrobe. Kakashi gulped back his fear and looked everywhere but the Hokage. He's seen enough to scar anyone that wasn't a ninja by his age. "Kakashi, was that you?"

"I don't know what you mean Lord Hokage," Kakashi said, bouncing his brother and looking for a haunted look in his eyes, but found none.

"THen why do you refuse to look at me?"

Kakashi felt his back straighten and he walked to the baby bag. "I promised Minato sensei I'd show him Kabuto, gotta get going."

He heard a noice from tha back of the man's throat and got the babe ready, quickly putting him in a sling so that holding him wouldn't put much stress on his arms and he could be more comfortable. Kakashi Hatake never thought he'd be taking care of a baby any time soon, and he knew there was a burden, a heavy one, in having family... but this boy might be a positive thing for him. He quickly said goodbye to his Hokage and went to his sensei's house where he saw Kushina, his girlfriend, walking to as well.

"Hi Miss Kushina!" Kakashi called as he picked up the pace. "Are you coming to see Minato sensei too?"

She nodded. "Mhm. What about you and this cute little thing... who is he?"

"This is my half brother, Kabuto."

"Do you know the mother's name?'

"No... she died the day she gave birth to him a few days ago," he said sadly, remembering the gruesome scene.

"Oh, well I'm sure Minato found out," she assured.

"Yeah," he mused, walking in with his brother. Minato smiled when he saw a few of his favorite people, Kakashi was fairly shocked that Jiraiya was there. He walked to the chair and smelled something off. He sighed, picking up Kabuto and setting him on the baby blanket he set out and pulled out what was necessary: baby wipes and a diaper. "Hold still Kabuto."

THe baby couldn't help but squirm. Kakashi worked on the baby from the side, seeing as the first day when he did it head on he was covered with pee. The Hokage never gave him any kind of warning, just let him learn the old fashion way. He undid the straps and then replaced the number two diaper with a clean one before he wiped him and did the straps. He was done in only a minute.

"You've become quite the expert," Jiraiya praised.

"DO me a favor and throw this away?" Kakashi asked, holding it out to the Sannin.

"Sure," he said, but that was before he caught the smell. "What do you feed him?!"

"Baby food," Kakashi said bluntly.

"Change the brand or something," Jiraiya ordered, throwing away the dirty diaper.

"Thank you Master Jiraiya," Kakashi said, only to realize that Kabuto was reaching for his mask. He moved back and slapped the hand. "No. You can't look under my mask."

Kabuto pouted before crying out. Kakashi never hit him before, but there was never a reason to. Kakashi sighed and got up, taking two steps forward before Kabuto stopped crying and looking around with new height.

"Can I hold him?" Kushina asked.

Kakashi nodded and gingerly handed off his brother after she washed her hands. "Be sure to craddle the head. His neck isn't strong enough to support it himself yet."

"I know," Kushina said, amusement lighting up in her eyes.

He's already so... protective of a relative he just recieved not even a week ago, Kushina thought.

Minato smiled at the picture and then felt his sensei put a heavy and large hand on his shoulder. "Take lessons, Kakashi knows more about childcare than you do."

"I'll learn fast," Minato assured.

Jiraiya rolled his eyes. "Suuuure you will.
