They were opposites though. She had long silver hair, tied up in two buns with spikey bangs, purple eyes, and silver studs in each ear. They'd been on the same Genin team as kids and had been friends and rivals ever since. Both were at the same level all their lives, they became Chuunin at the same exam, jounin at the same exam, and both entered Anbu at the same time.
After entering the plain looking building they went their seperet ways to change in their respective female/male locker rooms. Once all their gear was put in it's properly concealed places they meet up again deeper within the compound.
The whole place was set up like a maze, all rooms unmarked, all corridors identical, and all lights dim and flickerng. Some of the villages best kept secrets were kept here. It was designed so that anyone trying to steal them would be hopelessly lost. And on the off chance that they knew their way around there was always all the seals and curses to deal with.
After going down endless halls and turning countless corners they finally entered a door. Inside there were other Anbu milling about, reading or playing cards. At the far end of the room were two desks standing side by side. An Anbu at each of them, doing paper work. Leiko and Yukio walked up to the desks. Only the Anbu on their right looked up and acknowledged them. "Names?" He drawled out slowly.
"Hatake Leiko and Tobitake Yukio." Leiko said pointing to each of them as she said their names.
The Anbu at the desk reached down and started rumaging through one of the desk draws, after a few minutes of rumaging he finally produced a small slip of paper, glancing at it he looked around the room before finally saying in a slow voice as if her were talking to two very small children. "You two are to wait in here for Nara Shikato to arrive, then the three of you are to report directly to Lord Hokage." As a dissmissile the Anbu went back to the paperwork he was doing earlier.
Leiko and Yukio moved over to a small unoccupied table and sat down. "Gee could that get any more boring?" Yukio asked eyeing the Anbu at the desk again.
"I'm more concerned about what the Hokage wants, but I guess it'll have to wait awhile, you know how lazy Nara men are. He probley hasn't even got up yet." Leiko was staring at the door and drumming her fingers on the table. "So how's your little brother doing?" She said, changing the subject.
"Eh, he's good, he wants to become a shinobi so bad and he bugs me about every chance he gets. I try to talk him out of it, tell him that the blind wouldn't make good shinobi, but he kicks me in the shins every time. It's pretty sad to be in the Anbu Squad and have your four-year-old brother kicking your ass. Tonbo's not taking no for an answer." Yukio leaned back in his chair and streched his arms.
Leiko smirked. "Atleast your brother wants to be a shinobi, my youngest bro, Kakashi, wants to be an artist, even though he has the skills to take down most Chuunin. He's only three but he's already planned out his entire life. He's going to live alone in the mountains and turn out the most beautiful paintings known to man, he's not getting married, because girls are yucky, and, this is the best part, he's going to raise a whole herd of dogs." She giggled a little. "He's so weird"
Yukio laughed. "Yeah girls are yucky." He dodged a light smack from Leiko. "Is he even any good at painting? 'Cuz I'd feel bad for the little guy if he weren't."
"Yeah actually he's very good, Mom, Dad, and I think he's a child prodigy, we're going to have him tested tomarrow." Leiko glanced over at the door when it opened, letting Nara Shikato and his two friends stroll in. "There's Nara, let's go."
The two friends got up and walked over to the three newly arrived Anbu. "Yo Nara, we've got orders to see the Hokage."Yukio said while clapping Shikato on the back.
"Good for you, have fun." Shikato said
"You're with us today pineapple head, lets go." Leiko grabbed Shikato's arm and drug him out the door with Yukio trailing behind them.
After about ten minutes of jumping through trees and across rooftops like monkeys on crack they arrived at the Hokage's office window. Upon entering all the could see of the hokage was his spikey blonde hair sticking out over the top of a mountain of paperwork.
With one quick swipe over half the papers were shoved to the ground and twenty-year-old Nejiri Arashi, youngest Hokage ever, was able to see the three Anbu he summoned. "Good you three are here, I have a very very important mission for you. Arriving in the leaf tonight are some delagates from the Hidden Cloud. I want you three to oversee their security during their stay here, they should only be here until tomarrow afternoon so it shouldn't be too much trouble. Until they arrive, you have the day off. Meet back here at sunset. You're dissmissed." As if proving this he went back to what he was doing, which, Leiko noted with amusement, looked like a certain orange book hiding among paperwork, a book she'd not only caught Yukio reading, but also her brother Amida and their father. Interesting.
After leaving the Hokage's tower through the door. Shikato left the two friends mummbling something about bothersome teammates, and troublesome delegates, and promising to meet them back here at sunset.
It was still early for lunch so Leiko decided she wanted to go shopping. After a short argument with yukio he agreed to carry her bags if she bought lunch. With that done they turned and headed for the Konoha market place.
When they'd completely picked the market place clean of all the things they wanted, (atleast all they could afford) they went to a late lunch at Ichiraku Ramen Stand, each had a bowl of Miso Ramen, Leiko paid and they headed to the empty Hatake household to drop off their purchasess.
Yukio whistled, "Wow it's so quiet in here without your zoo of a family."
"Yeah I'd almost forgotten what silence sounded like." Leiko walked over to the couch and dropped her bags down.
Yukio followed suite "Have you ever considered getting your own flat? You make enough money." He plopped down next the bags.
Leiko sat down on an armchair across from the couch. "Yeah I've though about it but I don't think I could handle the silence, I've been around so many kids for so long it'd just be weird."
Both jumped from the sudden thud at the front door, just as Leiko was about to get up the door flew open and Kichi came running in laughing, followed by a grumpy looking Kakashi. The second Kichi saw Leiko and Yukio she ran up to them, still laughing, and jumped into Yukio's arms. "Kakashi wan into the doow, Kakashi wan into the doow." She sang at Kakashi from her protected spot in Yukio's arms.
"Shut up Kichi, I twipped." Kakashi said pouting and trying to jump up and hit his sister.
"Kichi, stop taunting Kakashi. Kakashi stop trying to hit Kichi, and both of you put your tounges back in your mouths." Yutsuko, their mother, came in with two armloads of groceries. Yukio sat Kichi on the couch and took half the groceries from Yutsuko. "Thank you Yukio, you're always so helpful. More than I can say for some of my other children. Are you staying for dinner?"
"No thanks neccessary Yutsuko-san, and yes ofcourse, I'd never miss an offer for your cooking." Yukio replied taking the bags of groceries to the kitchen.
Leiko picked up Kichi and Kakashi and followed her mother and Yukio into the kitchen. After setting the twins into chairs she sat down next to them. "Yukio and I have to babysit some delegates from the cloud tonight so we'll have to eat fast." She said to her mother, Yukio nodded and continued putting groceries away.
"Well that's good because Rini and Raidon both have a 'D' rank mission tonight that their teams are doubling on, so I planned on making dinner early. Everyone should be here soon" She replied putting away the last of the groceries.
Kakashi got up, walked over to Yutsuko, and tugged on her dress. "Can I go paint mama?"
"Ofcourse sweety, but try not to make a mess, okay?" She said patting his head affectionatly.
"Okay mama." Once Kakashi was out of the room Kichi got up and followed him.
"So Leiko says that Kakashi might be a child prodigy, this true?" Yukio asked.
Yutsuko smiled with obvious pride. "We hope so, he's showed exceptional talent in shinobi arts, not to mention his paintings. You should have a look at some of them sometime, they're so amazing. Tomarrow we're going to take him to get tested. The Hokage himself has showed intrest in him."
The sound of the front door being opened could be heard in the kitchen. A few moments later Takai, Tora, and Ronin burst into the kitchen, followed by Kisho. Yutsuko handed the children some snack crackers and they ran off upstairs to do their homework. "Amida and Jiro might be a little late and Rini and Raidon are on their way." Kisho said after he kissed his wife.
"Good dinner will be ready in about two and a half hours." Yutsuko said

There'll be more Kakashi in later chapters, for now though he's only going to be in them a little bit because this story is mostly about his family.
