Itachi took in a deep breath as he raised his hand to knock on the door that used to be Kakashi's room, now his study. Not that he ever did anything in there, really, just filling out mission reports that he never turned in. Sometimes when Tsume went in there to clean she would find tall stacks of reports Kakashi was too lazy to turn in. Tsume would send several of her dogs to the mission office to turn them in.

Several times, Iruka had sent home a strongly worded letter to Kakashi with Kiba or Sasuke.

"Come in," Kakashi called. Itachi opened the door and glanced around quickly, noticing that there was one short stack of papers. Tsume must have cleaned recently.

"Itachi?" Kakashi blinked. "What are you here for?"

"Uhh…" Itachi swallowed. "I have to talk to you…"

"Well, obviously, or else you wouldn't be here."

"I have a problem."

"And what is that problem?"

"Danzo, uh, assigned me a mission…"

"Ooh, really?" Kakashi leaned forward in his seat. "Do tell!"

"Uhh…" Itachi fidgeted, clearly uncomfortable with this whole thing.

"Spit it our already, Itachi!" Kakashi exclaimed. Itachi held up hand, walked over to the door, poked his head out and screamed, "Hana! I need your help!"

Hana trudged out of her room and glared at her friend. "What do you want Itachi? I was sleeping!"

"I can't do this. I just can't." Itachi said. "Please let me leave!"

"Oh, hell no. You are doing this even if I have to tie you to a chair!" Hana marched forward and grabbed his arm, pulling him back into Kakashi's study. Kakashi raised his head from his book to stare at them.

"Hana," he said. "You know not to use that kind of language."

"Sorry, Daddy," Hana said, putting on a sickly sweet smile. "Slipped out."

She pushed Itachi in front of her, so that he was standing right in front of Kakashi.

"Didn't you have something to say to Dad, Itachi?" the Inuzuka nearly purred with glee. God, she loved torturing Itachi like this.

"No…" Itachi mumbled, trying to slip past Hana and back out the door. Maybe he should have gone to the Hokage…

"God, you are so stubborn! Dad, Itachi was assigned a mission by Danzo to kill the Uchiha clan." Hana said, smirking as Itachi turned to her and glared. Kakashi sat back in his chair and frowned.

"Really. Well, I guess you should go tell the Hokage then," he said, waving them away. "Now, shoo, I have work to do."

Hana sighed and dragged Itachi back out of the room, and into hers. She plopped down onto her bed, staring at Itachi.

"So that was useless." Itachi stated. Hana shrugged.

"I don't know. Dad is one of the best ninja there are. He probably wanted to say something else, but he didn't because Danzo needs to be punished by the Hokage."

"I guess…"

"Well, you should go to the Hokage then!" Hana said. Itachi stared at her for a moment then groaned and turned around. Might as well do what she said.

Tsume opened the door to Kakashi's study and leaned against the door frame. Kakashi was so absorbed in his book he didn't even notice her until she coughed. He looked up guiltily and grinned.

"Hey, Tsume. How are you doing?"

"Whatever, Kakashi. Are you ready? We have to go meet my dad in ten minutes." Tsume said.

Kakashi nodded and stood up, slipping his book into his pocket. Just because he was talking to her dad today did not mean he didn't need his porn.

The kids were all waiting in the living room, except for Itachi. They were dressed in civilian clothes, as they were off duty. Plus they had Kakashi there, so there was no reason to even bring weapons. The man was sure to be able to make a weapon out of anything.

"You guys ready?" Kakashi asked, crouching down to pull in his shoes. Naruto cooed to Ramen in answer, and Sakura called for Coco. Kin had wanted to see how the kids' dogs were doing, and since they were training them to be their nin dogs, it made sense.

Akamaru had made his home on Kiba's head, and Rusty plodded along beside Sasuke as they left the house. Kakashi chuckled and picked up Kasumi as the little beagle trotted along side of them.

"Do you want to come with us?"He asked his dog. She barked and wagged her tail.

Kin was waiting for them in his front yard, his dog lying at his feet.

"Dad!" Tsume exclaimed, running forward to hug the older man. Kin chuckled, pulling his daughter close.

"Hey, honey," he said. The kids rushed forward and crowded around him, and Kakashi stood back as he watched his family. "Kakashi!"

Kakashi held back a cringe as Kin extended his arms, and he stepped forward when Tsume glared at him venomously.

"So, how have you all been doing?" Kin asked, fortunately stepping back from the embrace. Kakashi sighed and moved backwards to stand next to Rusty and Sasuke.

"Awesome!" Naruto said. "Grandpa, did you know that Iruka-sensei has never—"

Sakura and Kiba clamped their hands over his mouth. "Had a peach?" Sakura said too loudly. Kakashi raised an eyebrow and adjusted his mask. God, he hated wearing this thing now, especially now that he was with his family but had to be with Kin. He hated that man more than he hated the color green—and that was saying something.

Kiba nodded vigorously, and the look on Tsume's face told Kakashi that this conversation was not over.

"So what are we doing for dinner?" Tsume asked, herding the kids inside.

"Just ramen," Kin answered. Naruto whooped.

"YES!"

Kiba chuckled and slung an arm over his brother's shoulder. "You know, Naruto, someday ramen might be banned."

Naruto's eyes went wide, and he whimpered. "No! I won't let it happen!"

Kiba moved over to Sasuke and patted him on the back. "Don't worry, Sasu-chan, I'll make sure that you're protected from Naruto's rage when this happens."

Sasuke pushed him away and scowled. "Don't call me that."

Tsume smiled and shook her head. Kakashi wrapped his hands around her waist and she leaned back into him, watching as Sasuke and Kiba wrestled on the floor, with Naruto cheering his older brothers on, and Sakura and Hana conversing quietly on the couch.

"This is our family." Tsume whispered, tilting her head back to smile at her fiancé.

"This is our family." Kakashi repeated, resting his chin on top of her head.

A/N: Okay, so this will probably be the last chapter for a while. Possibly, because I might try to work on my other stories. But I'm gonna put up a poll on my profile, and if you want me to finish this story before my others vote!
