This is the (albeit short) result of a creativity flash. Since today is the birthday of Hatake Kakashi, I decided to post it.

I dedicate this chapter to my great readers and reviewers. You guys rock!!

-Bonus Chapter-

Once the door shut close behind Sakura, Kakashi barely managed to suppress a desperate sigh. Sometimes life was cruel. He couldn't blame his wife for leaving him alone, it was his fault after all.

"Daddy!"

Looking at the excited faces of his kids, his lips curled up into a loving smile.

"Okay, come on, boys." Opening his arms to them, he hoisted them into his lap and snatched his book out of Kiei's hands. While running his fingers through the sites, he rested his chin on the head of the boy sitting on his right knee which happened to be Aoshi. His first-born twin waited quietly corresponding to his slightly calmer temper. Quite in contrast to his hyperactive brother who was currently fidgeting in impatience.

Stopping on a certain page that he knew by heart he studied it with feigned seriousness. Its content was rather harmless in comparison to the rest of the book.

"Where have you found this book? This isn't one of ours." He should get an award for that performance. "Interesting..."

"Daddy, read!" Kiei took up pouting to get his story. Kakashi grinned down at him.

"Are you sure? You know, this is one of uncle Naruto's books. He needs them to become smarter." Laughing inwardly, Kakashi once again turned his attention to the book in his hands.

"Smarter?" As predicted, this distracted the twin's attention from the pictures. They loved to hear stories about their funny uncle Naruto.

"Yeees. He wants to be a good husband for Hinata. But for that he has to learn more stuff than just everything about ramen."

"What stuff?"

"Oh, good manners, how to eat properly, to keep things tidy..."

"Ew, boooring!" Undoubtedly there didn't exist anything more awful in the boy's opinion than these things. Well, they were boys after all.

Meanwhile the book lay once again forgotten next to the pillows. With a discrete push Kakashi let it disappear from view.

"We wanna hear a story about uncle Naruto!" A distant sound kept Kakashi from giving in to their plea reminding him of the fact that they were having guests for brunch.

"Sorry, kids, later. Get ready, Naruto and the other are coming for brunch. Maybe he'll tell you a story." Before he could even finish his sentence, the boys squealed in delight upon the mentioning of Naruto. Jumping off his lap they raced out of the bedroom to their own room.

Kakashi let out a relieved sigh. He took the book from under the pillow and put it on top of the wardrobe before pulling out some clothes and heading for the bathroom.

-End Bonus Chapter-

A/N: dirtydirtythings brought up an interesting point: Sakura does NOT have an affair with Sasuke. She's faithful to Kakashi.

In the first chapter, I mentioned that Itachi is still alive and Sasuke's still an avenger. He is fixed onto this and couldn't develop as a character like Neji has. So basically, Sakura's and Sasuke's relationship is based on friendship and rather rocky. They argue a lot. Assume, they had another fight short before the brunch. That's why Sakura's reaction to Hinata's question is so short.

I don't know when I'll update the next chapter. My NejiSaku comes first.

Review response:

Malitia: Actually, I'm undecided which one is my favourite pairing: KakaSaku or NejiSaku. Thank you again!

dirtydirtythings: Well, the kids are quite curious and adventurous ones. See, Kakashi is a really great father. I'm starting to think I make him way too good... Thank you for your input!!

Ancient Pharaoh: Believe me, I'm seriously considering it. Right now, it seems that "Sick and Tired" will be possible to be read on its own. Thank you!

MysticMoon: Well, I happen to like Neji pretty much. And he is 25 in this fic, people develop, especially during puberty. I'll write more about how he changed in another fic. We'll see what will happen with Naruto and Hinata...

sUmbOdi: Thank you! I can promise you that a lot will happen on this one day.

B4By K4K4Sh1: Yees, that smile is so great! I think his reaction will be in the next chapter but I'm not sure right now. Thank you!

See you next (regular) chapter: Midday Surprising
