AN:This one's got some swearing. So if you don't like swearing ignore it.
Minato left Kakashi to go check if the other kids were up. It was Saturday but he was taking them out shopping to get new clothes since most of theirs were designed for Konoha's cold weather. He decided to check Naruto first as he was the most likely to be awake.
"Hey Naruto." He said as he walked in to find the young boy lying on the carpet of his room surrounded by toys.
"Look daddy! Dinosaur!" Naruto yelled holding up the plastic toy.
"You're right. That's a t-rex."
"Grandpa got him for me when he went away!"
"Did he now?"
"Yeah! And look….. RAMEN!"
Naruto held up a plastic ramen. Minato smiled as his blue eyes lit up. His son, the ramen loving boy. He loved him so much.
"Where did you get a toy ramen?" Minato asked moving to sit beside the little boy who eagerly crawled into his lap.
"Grandpa!" Naruto yelled.
"Does grandpa spoil you?"
"Yeah! Kashi, Anko and Shun too!"
"I've noticed. Can you get dressed for me? We're going to go shopping."
"Okay daddy!"
Naruto got up and ran to his closet so he could get dressed. Minato got up and woke Shizune who easily woke up then decided to tackle the biggest problem, Anko.
He walked in to find her still sleeping in her clothes, not her pajamas.
"Anko." He quietly said as he shook her shoulder.
She rolled around a little then slowly opened her eyes.
"Hey princess."
Anko groaned then pulled the covers over her head. Minato laughed then uncovered.
"Sleep" She sleepily mumbled.
"Anko you need to get up. We are going to go to the mall and get some clothes you like." He said.
Anko groaned then got out of bed. She went to shower and Minato went back to Kakashi's room. Kakashi was in bed wrapped in several layers of blankets. He had spiked a fever over night but it had lowered. Minato had stayed in his room that night, much to Kushina's protests, and had been up to hold him every time he had been sick.
"Hey baby. Can you wake up for daddy?" Minato asked as he sat down on the bed.
Kakashi opened his eyes as far as he possibly could.
"We've got go out. Do you want to get dressed or wear your pajamas?"
"Jam-Jams." He mumbled.
"Okay."
"Minato?"
"Yes your Minato can come."
" ?"
"Yeah, blanky too."
Minato stood up then picked Kakashi up. He carried him downstairs to find even Anko ready. He put Kakashi in his coat then got his keys. They went to the car, Minato helping Naruto and putting Kakashi, and they drove to the mall. Once they got there Minato took them inside.
"Okay it would be easier to get the boys done first then take you two." Minato said then led them in the direction of a children's clothing store.
Once inside the store Naruto took off finding clothes. Minato showed Kakashi some clothes but Kakashi just screamed the whole time until something caught his eye.
"Want!" Kakashi said pointing.
Minato let him direct him in the way towards a bright blue shirt with a frog on it.
"This is what you want?" Minato asked.
"Yeah!" Kakashi said.
Minato found one in Kakashi's size then gave it to him. Kakashi hugged it.
"Naru, are you ready to go?" Minato asked.
"Yeah!" Naruto said.
"Kashi?"
"Hat!" Kakashi said.
"You want a hat?"
Anko walked over and set a frog hat on his head.
"Thank you Ano!" He said then started to speak gibberish to his plushie.
"Kashi is telling Minato about his hat." Naruto explained to Stephanie who gave them a weird look.
After Minato paid they went to a store for the girls where both found a good amount of clothes. Shizune picked out a lot of skirts and pink things while Anko picked out knee length shorts and purple. Minato then decided to take them for lunch.
"RAMEN! DADDY! RAMEN!" Naruto yelled pointing at the ramen stand.
"Ham!" Kakashi yelled.
"Are you two hungry?" Minato asked his sons.
"I am." Anko said.
"You're always hungry." Minato said.
"I know."
Minato laughed then set Kakashi down. He went to get them food already knowing what they would like. As soon as Minato was gone Anko sat down with a sigh.
"Okay princess stop sighing. Like god." Shizune said as she took the seat beside Stephanie, who had sat across from Anko.
"Excuse me?" Anko asked, her patience for her sister already wearing thin.
"You heard me! And would it kill you to smile a little? You're like a fucking emo kid."
"I don't feel like smiling."
"Oh poor Anko. The princess had to leave her precious boy friend home so now she's all depressed. Grow the fuck up! I had to leave Gai behind and I'm not all depressed. Get over it, break up with him and move on so you can get some new boy friend."
"I love Yamato….."
"Yeah, sure and I'm a genius. He's a boy Anko. Move on. He's not even right for you. He's way too good. Maybe I could convince him that I'm better for him when I go home with Grandma tonight. It'll be just me and him. No you to distract us."
Anko didn't answer and Shizune turned her attention to her phone. Anko set her head down on the table. Naruto ran over to Shizune and was about to yell when he saw Minato so he sat beside Anko for Ramen. Minato gave Naruto his Ramen and Shizune and Stephanie their food. He then picked up Kakashi and cuddled him as Kakashi had once again spiked a fever. Afterwards he slid Anko's food towards her. She slid it back.
"I'm not hungry anymore." She mumbled and kept her head down.
Tears started to fall but she hid them well.
-I can't hold on to you anymore. There isn't anything I can do.- She thought.
