AN: I would like to apologize for that last chapter.

The spelling errors were awful. Oh god, I'm so embarrassed!

So this chapter is dedicated to Toreh! For telling me about them! AND about chapter 17!

Which now has the complete story!

If there are errors like these PLEASE TELL ME! Otherwise I will never know (because I assume I revise once I'm done, but obviously, I have forgotten with some of my chapters! And don't worry! I ran spell check before this chapter!

Enjoy!

III

Life was moving so fast these days.

Last week, Minato announced he was going become Hokage.

In a month. Kakashi felt a stab of jealousy as he told them to make the best of their last few missions together because after that, Team Minato would become Team Kakashi.

Kakashi felt that he should be happy about that, but being a team leader didn't seem to be the best thing for him. Not after last time.

The week leading up to the inauguration of the Fourth Hokage was full of festivities and excitement.

Kushina and Sakura were excited because Sakura would take over Minato's one bedroom shanty of an apartment that he'd lived in. Meaning she didn't have to live on the floor anymore.

He would see the two of them shopping for things. Sheets, pillows and the assortment of other goods a bachelor pad-to bachelorette pad would need.

I think blood remover was in their basket somewhere.

Kakashi and the rest of his rookie boys were gathered to move the old Hokage's things out and the new Hokage's things in (The rookie team left Asuma to carry his own shit). Rin helped Sakura and by the time the last of Minato's few possessions were moved out of the apartment, he didn't recognize it.

It had a book self. And the books were in the bookshelf.

The inauguration was boring, but the party afterwards was not. There was a lot of dancing and drinks being passed around. He saw Kushina laughing as she carried a very drunken Sakura towards her place.

And then, life settled down. Until, of course, two months after Minato takes office and Kushina is smiling widely and Minato-sensei is walking around in a daze, slightly paler than usual and a big grin on his face.

Kushina was knocked up.

"It's about time!" Sakura slammed her fist on the table at Ichiraku's as Team Minato sat, celebrating the news. "How many times did I have to sleep in the training grounds because you all were trying to make that thing!"

Minato-sensei's face was as red as Kushina's hair. "We-we weren't 'trying.'"

"Ya coulda fooled me!" she said coldly, but a blush covered her face.

"Hey! I gave you the keys to my apartment!"

"And ya shoulda done it there!" the two red heads glared at each other before laughing.

Women were weird.

But now Sakura was going on missions with them more often, filling in for their third team member. It didn't bother Kakashi as much. Filling in for Minato. She was sure getting fast enough.

But the best missions were when it was him and Rin. Usually Rin had to drag him home by a foot due to his blood loss or chakra depletion. And he got a lecture about over doing it, but it was always with a smile. And he'd go to the hospital for her, which usually meant they ran into Sakura, who was either crawling there or leaving heavily bandaged.

Kakashi didn't understand why she went on those missions by herself, she obviously needed back up.

It made him think of himself, before the war. Before Obito changed everything. Before Obito changed him. He watched as she sat in the waiting room, pulling shards of kunai and shiruken's out of herself, waiting for a doctor. Sometimes given a bucket to pull fucking poison out of herself, slopping it into the said bucket.

Just what the hell was this woman up to?

He and Rin had tried to pry it out of her, but she would simply say 'don't worry about it' (to Rin) or punch someone in the face (him, once).

Minato wouldn't speak either. It was frustrating.

Especially since Minato-sensei rarely trained with him and Rin, but was always out training with Sakura.

What made her so special?

Kakashi scowled at her as she pulled a particularly long piece of metal out of her side, swatting Rin's willing hands away.

Well, maybe she needs all the help she can get.
