This chapter is just pure fluff. I thought it was cute. Enjoy!

Kakashi's View:

I squatted down so I could be eye level with the small red head.

"Come on caterpillar, you can do it." I encouraged her. She tilted her head to the side. "You get a prize if you do."

"But fader, I don't have ta go." She pouted as she sat on the little green potty chair. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. She said that last time as well, but the moment she stood up, she peed on the floor.

"Just…try." I gave her an eye smile.

"Fader, why do you wear a mask?" She asked.

"Because I just do. Now, if you want to be a big girl, you have to use the toilet." I was about to start pleading with her if this didn't end soon. I thought diapers were bad but getting her to use the toilet was becoming an even worst chore.

"Does daddy use the potty?" she had started referring to Iruka as daddy recently, which concerned me a bit, but was cute for the time being.

"Yes, he does." I said shortly. I didn't want to discuss the other man's bathroom habits with my two year old.

"Do you?" she asked. She knew the answer to that. Multiple times she had walked in on me and demanded to know why I had a wiener and she did not.

"Aurora." I shot her a glare. "Come on now, enough stalling. You need to learn this." She pouted and tried once more. I sighed and sat back. "Ok, we'll try later." I said standing her up and pulling her pants up.

I had turned for just a second when I heard her say those dreaded words.

"Uh oh! Fader! I had an axeident…" Kami help me…

Along with trying to get Aurora potty trained, I also had the Chunin exams coming up. My students were more than ready. They complained constantly about how the missions were too easy, so I thought maybe if they were in the Chunin exams, it would teach them more about what it really meant to be a ninja. Their bought with Zabuza and Haku had taught them a bit about the real world, but they were still antsy. However, the tan chunin was there when I entered them in and wasn't please.

"They are not your students anymore Iruka! I know what is best for them." I was getting irritated with him. I understood he wanted to protect Naruto and the others, but they were growing up. They didn't need babied anymore. Aurora, who was there in the back playing with her bunny, was even shocked by my tone.

Iruka was taken aback by my tone, but I was by no means angry with the chunin for voicing his opinion.

Iruka later approached me and apologized for acting out.

"Kakashi, I over stepped my boundary." He said with a shallow bow. "You're right. You do know what is best for them now. They aren't my students anymore. I…just keep seeing them as…"

"Three academy students and pre-genin. I know." I gave him an eye smile. "You see Naruto as a younger brother, maybe even a son, but you have to trust that I know what I'm doing."

Iruka smiled softly and scratched the scar on his nose. "I do trust you. I just…want them to be safe." I knew how he felt. I had Aurora now.

"Why don't we settle this debate over dinner?" I suggested. Aurora beamed at having the chance to have dinner with Iruka.

Iruka was shocked by my offer but gladly accepted. "Sure! Where too?"

If I had known that Iruka could eat over five bowls of ramen I would have never agreed to go to Ichiraku. I didn't mind after he offered to pay for the last three.

"Thank you Kakashi." He smiled. "I really appreciate it. I very rarely get invited out any more." He had a slight blush on his face.

"Oh?" I peered over the pile bowls in front of us. Aurora was still on her first, playing with the noodles. I was trying to get her to stop.

"Well yeah. I mean, I work at the academy and have shifts at the missions desk so it's kinda hard." He leaned over and put the spoon back in to Aurora's hand and gave her a stern look. She immediately obeyed. Why wouldn't she do that for me?

"I see. Well, if you'd like, we could try to get together once a week for dinner." What possessed me to say that, I wasn't sure.

Iruka turned a slightly darker shade of red, before quickly composing himself. "Kakashi, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were asking me on a date." He teased. It was now my turn to blush.

"Well…I didn't mean for it to sound that way." I retorted, trying to keep my embarrassment at bay. "But, if that's what you want." I shot back. Damn it self! What if he agreed?

"Um…listen, you're a nice guy but…" he trailed off. I was worried what was going to be said next. "I mean, if that's what you want. I guess…" I put a finger against his lips, which caused him to blush again.

"I was joking." He seemed to deflate after that.

"As was I." but he didn't sound so sure.

"So, every Wednesday at 6?"

"Can I come ery wesday too?!" Aurora asked later as I was getting her ready for bed.

"Of course." I smiled at her. I had my mask off for the evening so she could see my facial expressions.

"Yay!" She cheered. I laughed and turned to brush my own teeth.

"Fader!" she cheered. I looked over and saw her on her potty. "I did it!" she beamed as she stood and proudly showed me she had in fact peed.

"Very good!" I opened the drawer and pulled a blue star sticker out. She beamed and put it on her lavender night gown. "Get four more of those and I'll take you to get ice cream."

"Yay! Ice cream!" she cheered and bounced off towards her room, continuing to chant ice cream. If only life were as simple as a two year olds world.

I wish I was two again sometimes. No homework. No responsibilities. Just playing. This story will get more intense after the next few chapters. Unless the fluff bunnies get me again... R&R!
