Kakashi's Shadow Chapter 14

"Dada! Mama!!" Kyoko squealed happily.
"No no little girl, I'm not your Mama," Kurenai muttered patting her head.
"Mama!" Kyoko said stubbornly.
Kurenai sighed looking down, "I have to leave."
"No you don't. You can't let your past control you Kurenai," Kakashi replied.
Kurenai shook her head, "I don't want you two to get hurt."
"Kurenai you're head's still in the past. You have a bright future Kurenai," Kakashi told her lifting her head.
"Just take me home," Kurenai said teary eyed.
"You are home," Kakashi answered stubbornly. Making a noise of distress Kyoko stretched out her arms to Kurenai.
"Mama! Mama!!" Kyoko cried trying to get to her. Kurenai took hold of the girl kissing her cheek.
"I'm not your Mommy," Kurenai replied.
"MAMA!" Kyoko squealed snuggling Kurenai.
"Listen to Kyoko Kurenai," Kakashi replied sitting on the bed with her.
"Please…just take me home," Kurenai said softly.
"Like I said, you are already at home," Kakashi replied.
"Take me home!" Kurenai said loud enough to make Kyoko cry. Kakashi gently took Kyoko from Kurenai bouncing the little girl.
"I'll let you rest Kurenai and once you come to your senses I'll listen to what you have to say," Kakashi replied walking out of the room closing the door before sitting on his couch. He rocked and bounced Kyoko till she was calm and quiet.
"Wub Dada!" Kyoko said loudly.
"Wub?" Kakashi asked staring at Kyoko.
"Wub Dada!" Kyoko repeated.
"Wub…wub…wub…wub…Love? Do you mean love, Kyoko-chan?" Kakashi asked.
"Wub! Wub! Wub!" Kyoko replied.
Kurenai lay in the bed quietly staring at the drab ceiling. I have to get out of here. I have to go home…Then Yuji can leave Kakashi and Kyoko-chan alone. I need to go home. I don't want them to get hurt…yet…if I do leave Kakashi will just bring me home.
"Home?!" Kurenai started, "This isn't my home!" She sighed looking out the window above her. The mellow blue sky was dotted with a few clouds and birds. What have a gotten into? She asked herself slowly drifting into sleep.
"Do you want a toy Kyoko-chan?" Kakashi asked.
"Wub Dada!" Kyoko squealed clapping her hands. Kakashi chuckled before rummaging in a bag near the couch pulling out a plush rabbit. Kyoko gasped squirming to get it.
"Here you go Kyoko-chan," Kakashi replied giving Kyoko the rabbit. Kyoko gently snuggled the rabbit taking hold of the ears.
"Wub!" Kyoko exclaimed.
"Kyoko, can you say bunny?" Kakashi asked waving a hand in front of her face to get Kyoko's attention.
"Bu," Kyoko replied.
"Bunny?" Kakashi asked.
"Bu-Bu," Kyoko said happily.
"I guess we call leave it at Bu-Bu for now," Kakashi said with a sigh.
"Bu-BU!" Kyoko called out happily hugging her bunny. She's so cute, I'm sure she'll grow up to be a beautiful young lady Kakashi thought. He kissed Kyoko small forehead causing her to smile.
"I love you," Kakashi whispered in Kyoko's ear.
"Wub Dada! Wub Dada!" Kyoko squealed clapping her hands together. Kakashi stood up taking her to the kitchen. He sat her on the countertop before getting out a jar of baby food out of the refrigerator (A/N: Where does baby food go? It's been awhile since I've been around babies heh heh). He took out a baby spoon before prying open the top of the jar. Kyoko stared at him curiously holding on to her bunny mumbling jargon.
Frustratingly 10 minutes later Kakashi fed Kyoko getting her dirty. He sighed staring at Kyoko and her bunny covered in baby food. Taking Kyoko to the bathroom he washed her quickly before changing her diaper then putting her in footy pajamas.
"Time for a nap little one," Kakashi whispered opening the door to his room to his surprise to see that Kurenai was still in THEIR room. Gently Kakashi placed Kyoko down on the soft mattress pad of her crib before kissing her forehead. He locked the crib watching Kyoko to see when she fell asleep. For awhile Kyoko stared up at Kakashi laying down to sleep. 15 minutes passed before Kakashi gently pried the bunny away from Kyoko's arm. On the first day it gets dirty…Kakashi thought leaving the room. He hand washed the doll before placing it on the window sill to dry. With a slight sigh Kakashi fell down in a heap on his couch.
"ow," came a voice from underneath him.
"Kurenai?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes?" the voice replied.
"How did you get out without me knowing?" Kakashi asked.
"In my own simple way," Kurenai replied. Kakashi smirked before pulling her on to his lap. Kurenai blushed trying to get away from Kakashi.
"Sit still me crimson eyed beauty," Kakashi whispered into her ear bringing her close. Kurenai's blush grew darker as she wrapped her arms around Kakashi's neck.
"Love you," she said bashfully.
"Don't be so bashful about it. I love you too," Kakashi replied kissing her cheek.
"Then stop embarrassing me!" Kurenai spat.
"But you're so cute!" Kakashi replied kissing her neck.
"Stop!" Kurenai whispered backing away.
"You're the cutest girl out there," Kakashi replied.
"Girl? GIRL?! I am not a girl!" Kurenai said angrily.
"I didn't mean it that way!" Kakashi said waving his arms in front of his face.
"Hmpf! Well you can sleep out here tonight!" Kurenai retorted storming into his room and closing his door.
"I can't keep them happy for a minute," Kakashi chuckled.
