Grey
Epilogue
Hatake Kakashi sat atop a large bough, his nose buried in the notorious R-rated book, Icha Icha Paradise.
A loud scream emitted by a certain pink-haired ninja resonated in the valley. "NARUTO! DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU PEEPING AGAIN!!"
"But... Sakura-chan..."
Kakashi looked up from his book, and stared at the cause of the commotion with his signature nonchalant look. He smiled through his mask, and sighed. The Yondaime's son had grown to become an energetic and hyperactive teenager, who shared his love for cup ramen.
Mumbling to himself, he thought to himself, "Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to take them to bathe here. But then I thought it would have been such a waste--the waterfall's lovely."
Looking away from the squabbling pair, Kakashi trained his eyes on the third member of his team. The dark haired boy who had captured the hearts of many girls his age, Uchiha Sasuke, brought back memories of old.
The only girl in the team, clad in a bathing suit, blushed to the roots as Sasuke looked in her direction. The blonde boy protested but could only look on jealously and made a series of faces at the Uchiha boy.
Kakashi smiled, used to such situations, and buried his nose in his dirty book once more.
And the will of the fire will continue to burn for generations to come...
A/n: Wow! Complete at last! (No, actually I finished writing this in August, but I had other things to contend with so the editing had to wait.) It's been a pleasure to write a fic on my favourite character Hatake Kakashi, and even more so that I am able to share it with all you people here. Thanks going out to all readers, and Kishimoto Masashi for creating the drool-worthy ninja ^^;;
Not forgetting our wonderful beta-readers kakashi and Hannshuin, and my talented partner yume, who agreed to let me archive this on FanFiction.Net. Love you all lots. ^^
Oh, and since this fic was part of a project, the entire fic, plus illustrations, is also archived at grey.imess.net . Do go there and drop a hi on our tagboard. ^^;;
Well, ja for now and hope to be seeing you people soon.
