Sorry for the lateness of this update- some people have taken exception to my One Piece stories not being realistic enough or totally canon and such and have been bullying me.

But even after continuously reminding them to stop being assholes and think logically- if Luffy was really as dumb as he's portrayed in the anime- he would be dead a million times over by now. Not only that but once again, it is a FICTIONAL story.

And apparently some people have issues with grasping that as well.

So- I've updated my pirate stories for the day. and now wish to work on this.

Sakumo, for anyone interested, should be reanimated and alive again in the next few chapters. And his encounter with Naru will be...painful for a variety of reasons.

Especially for Kakashi and Naru, but it will also help them a great deal later on just as Minato hoped it would. I just hope that I can pull it off well.

Now- on with the fic!

(************************************************************************************************************************************)

Minato had just finished pumping Sakumo's body as full of his chakra as he possibly could at the moment when he heard the front door downstairs slam open and automatically began to panic when he heard Kakashi's voice shouting his name.

Franticly he began to pile as many boxes and stuff on top of Sakumo's body as possible when the teen began to make his way upstairs towards the attic, Minato barely managed to cover Kakashi's father's body when the teen finally slammed the attic door open and found him standing there in a weird pose, sweating bullets.

"What are you doing Min?" Kakashi asked almost breathlessly, his instincts automatically kicking into overdrive and dubbing the man's pose and nervous scent as suspicious in the extreme.

Minato let out a nervous sounding laugh and began to sort of twiddle his thumbs as he attempted to make eye contact but failed miserably when he caught Kakashi's narrow eyed stare boring into his skull.

"I-I was just going through some old boxes and trying to sort them. Why?"

"No reason," Kakashi said curtly before saying, "I need you to come with me to the hospital." At which point Minato's nervous demeanor changed and Kakashi suddenly found himself being pushed rather roughly up against the nearest wall/door- with Minato's fingers wrapped threateningly around his throat as he practically snarled in his face,

"What did you fucking do?"

"Um- well, there was this thing ya see, about my claiming Naru-" Kakashi began to say but was cut off by the blond as he suddenly demanded.

"Where is Naru? Is she safe?"

"She's...as safe as anyone in a place with security, I guess. She's currently in the hospital and-"

Minato sighed, his frustration showing in his expression as he glared at the teen. The stupid boy and his hormones were going to get them caught before Naru could be securely impregnated by himself, and Sakumo. And if Naru was taken away from him, he was going to go on one of the most epically bloody killing spee's in the history of the leaf village.

Seriously, he'd see to it that he makes the Kyubbi itself look like a fluffy tailed bunny by comparison.

"And you need me at the hospital to have the records blacked out, sealed and see to it that no one ever speaks of this to any outside sources," It wasn't a question, merely an statement of fact. "Very well, but first I want to know why exactly she needed to be taken to the hospital in the first place?" Minato asked as he removed his hand from Kakashi's throat and slowly backed off so that he could give the teen some breathing room.

"Well it wasn't totally planned but first of all, I guess I went a little bit overboard last night when I claimed her as my mate. She was bleeding when she woke up this morning. You know as well as I do that she's never truly been knotted before. Not like that. Mating isn't the same as simply knotting during sex for just pleasure. My knot must have done some tearing and such to her this time, because she could barely keep herself from crying."

Minato was silent as he continued to listen to Kakashi explain things a bit more. That was obviously something that he hadn't been aware of from the journals and such that had been kept on the boy's bloodline otherwise he would have taken yesterday off to monitor Kakashi while he had claimed his little girl.

Or maybe he was just feeling slightly guilty for allowing himself to go along with Kakashi's dumb plan and allowing his little girl to get hurt in the first place.

He knew that knotting for males as endowed as Kakashi could be a bitch to contend with.

He'd seen some of the damage the teen's knot could do to a female body during a mission or two where he'd had to sleep with their enemies and that had simply been while barely half swollen. He should have looked into the matter further, but he had been sure that Kakashi's knot wouldn't get much bigger than it usually was during sex.

He was an idiot.

Maybe if he got Naru some nice flowers and stuff she'd forgive him for his oversight. Though he was pretty sure that Kakashi would be in the doghouse for a while for hurting her in the first place.

"Minato there's something else," Kakashi said almost nervously. Perhaps even more so than when he had mentioned that he had hurt Naru. The teen's sudden shift in body language had the blond's undivided attention locked on his face as he waited patiently for him to speak up. "I-I scented the change in Naru's body after I finally managed to slip my knot free... She's finally pregnant."

At this Minato visibly brightened, his blue eyes took on a sudden sparkle that almost had Kakashi diving behind something to take cover. It was just that freakishly creepy.

The man looked absolutely deranged to him.

Sort of like the last time they had been warring with each other and Minato had snapped, and chased him throughout the entire village in nothing- and Kakashi did mean nothing- but his birthday suit, which the man had painted blue after stealing all of Kakashi's clothing but an old fashioned fur loincloth.

The two had been the buzz of the village for years since that incident.

Especially given all of the attention that they had gained from the gay males and the females afterwards.

Poor Naru had suffered too. She'd only been ten at the time and everyone had teased and bullied her about her dad running Kakashi down butt naked. Some had even said that Minato had been trying to convince Kakashi to be his wife.

Kakashi won't lie, he'd mated with Minato years ago when he'd been thirteen.

It had been shortly after Minato had found out about the plans that were being carried out against Naru and Minato had turned himself into a solid, clone version of a female and demanded to know how Kakashi would take care of things concerning the real Naru.

Kakashi had preformed beyond expectations, however... He'd accidentally mated and marked Minato, whom had promptly kicked his ass out of bed when he'd jokingly asked how many pups he'd wanted to birth.

So they didn't exactly have a typical mated pair sort of relationship. And for the most part the two pretty much ignored the fact that they were mated to begin with.

Then around the time that Kakashi had realized that Naru was his mate- he'd started to panic thinking that he may have blown his chance with her- up until Minato had given him a book on his own clansmen.

Turns out, male Hatake's tended to mate a male at some point in their lives to help build a sense of family and belonging. Sometime it happened accidentally or was a spur of the moment thing. Other times it was simply to help them stay as unavailable to temptation's of the flesh as one could be.

To help them avoid a bad choice in an actual mate.

That way when the female came along that they took a fancy too- *cough* became obsessed with *cough* - and inevitably fell in love with, they were still free to mate her without any ill repercussions and could then begin to ignore the mating to the male, thus freeing him to mate and have a family of his own.

Or at least that was how Kakashi understood of what was said in the book. Though he could be somewhat wrong. After all, his clan had been a fairly tight knit group. Sometimes during times of less and less childbirth, the females of the clan had been shared among two or three closely related males to help get her pregnant and hopefully bring healthy, new blood into the clan to help build the population back up.

Some females had even been mated more than once. Though those cases were rare and usually only happened between Alpha's of the same blood.

The women never wanted for anything when it came to their mate/mates. If one of them made her go without, he would be punished, most often by the one of superior strength and rank.

Their mates were to be treated as the rare treasures that they were. Just as their pups were carefully protected and treated in much the same way.

If a male abused a female- which was probably more rare an occurrence than seeing a fish grow legs and walk onto land- then his mate and pups were taken from him and placed with a better male to mate with the female, and protect her and her pups.

There were other things written down about his clansmen and how they operated of course, but he was fairly certain that he had either fallen asleep after reading those parts or he had simply dropped the book somewhere in his room and gone skipping off to profess his love for Naru.

He wasn't a hundred percent sure which right now since he wasn't exactly thinking about it. Right now he was nervously watching Minato and trying not to so much as twitch or move funny. Otherwise the man would zero in on him again and then he'd have to run for it.

As it was, he was wishing that the door was closer to where he was. It was his only salvation at this point.

"A baby. Oh Kashi that's great! So it finally happened. I'm going to be a grandfather at last-" There was a weird snapping sound that Kakashi heard coming from somewhere within the room and his eyes got noticeably wider as Minato finally turned to him again and grabbed him and started yelling, "You little shit! I'm going to be a grandfather at my age! I'm barely out of my mid twenties! I should kick your ass up and down the street and then kill you!"

Kakashi whimpered a little bit and mentally shrugged.

Oh well he'd known that Minato would freak out in some small way. He just hadn't expected it to be like this.
