Despite multiple letters to Kishi sama, I still do not own the series, or even a single character. Naruto is still alive and kicking, dang it!

Kakashi and Kana sat in the second row of parents in the Academy's schoolyard. Kohana, along with many other aspiring ninja, stood on the wooden make-shift stage, each eagerly awaiting the Hokage sama to call their name so that, like the ones before them, they too could walk up to the podium and shake hands with Tsunade while receiving a certificate and long applause before exiting the stage. Kana had earlier hidden Kakashi's Icha Icha books so that he could not read them during the entrance ceremony. Kohana's name was called. She walked up and shook Tsunade's hand, then received her certificate and walked off stage to join the other academy students who had already been called up to receive their certificates. Afterwards, Kana and Kohana met with Iruka to discuss Kohana's next few years at the academy, while Kakashi was reunited with his beloved novel. "We're expecting great things from her, Kana" Iruka looked down to see Kohana bursting with pride and joy. "Really Iruka sensei? You mean it?" Kohana squealed. "Of COURSE he means it, my little flower!" Gai jumped down from the academy rooftop, followed by Lee, "We saw the whole ceremony, my sweet flower!" Gai had tears streaming down his cheeks. Iruka rubbed his head and put on a half smile, "Uh, I have to go talk to the other parents now, you have fun…" and backed away slowly.

"Hey Kakashi sensei!" Naruto ran up to Kakashi, "What are you doing here?" "Yeah Kakashi sensei, you were four hours late so we figured you'd be at the memorial, and we decided to come see the new academy students." Sakura said, her eyes saddened, "We'll, at least me and Naruto." He made us wait four hours just to come to see the new students? Why does he even care? Inner Sakura clenched her fist. "Hey daddy! Daddy!" Kohana ran up to Kakashi. "Oh, hey little girl, are you looking for your father?" Sakura bent down to talk to the little girl. Sakura placed her hand on Kohana's head. Kohana slowly turned her head to face Sakura; her face was hidden in shadows, "He IS my father dummy." "S-s-sorry" Sakura trembled… "WAIT…WHAT!" Sakura and Naruto screamed in unison, they both pointed at Kakashi. Kakashi looked up from his book, "Yeah, didn't I tell you?" "NO!" Naruto yelled, "You never told us anything!" Kohana's face was once again cloaked in darkness, "Don't yell at my daddy." Kohana hugged Kakashi's leg and smiled. BYPOLAR MUCH! Inner Sakura seethed. "Hey Kakashi?" Kana smiled, "You invited your old students?" Naruto took one look at the black haired mistress of Kakashi and drooled, Sakura punched him and he flew a good ten feet. Kana chuckled, "You must be Sakura then," she pointed to the boy bleeding profusely from a wound on his head, "and that's Naruto?" Sakura nodded. "My name's Kana," Kana smiled, "nice to meet you, Sakura" Sakura bowed. They make a pretty nice family, Sakura thought, minus the bipolar brat. "Oh, Kohana chan! How are you?" Tenten smiled, waving to Kohana. Neji followed. "What? You two knew about this too?" Naruto fumed, "Were we the only ones who didn't know about this?" "Just about, Naruto, I guess Kakashi never bothered to tell you, going to throw a fit now? How troublesome." Shikamaru walked up, followed by Choji and Ino. "Ino nee-chan!" Kohana ran into Ino's arms. No wonder why she was such a brat, Ino pig's influence I presume Inner Sakura scowled. "Seems like he figured you weren't important to tell" Ino sneered at Sakura. "Why you!" Sakura pressed her (oversized) forehead to Ino's. "Shut up billboard brows!" "Ino pig!" "Billboard brows!" "Ino pi-" Sakura looked around, "Where'd everyone go?" They both stared out at the desolate schoolyard they stood in, a newspaper fluttered past.

Back at home, I celebration was taking place, celebrating, of course, Kohana's acceptance into the Ninja Academy. There were gyoza, fresh off the pan, and hot steamed pork buns. Many people came to eat, drink, and congratulate Kohana. Sake was placed out on the table for all those who wanted a drink to go with the Korean barbeque that Kana was preparing. By the time Ino and Sakura arrived, the barbeque had already started, "Sorry were late, Billboard brows held me up" Ino scoffed. Sakura just glared at her right back. "…"

"Have a seat ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, a toast to Kohana!" Gai stood on the table to announce the toast, quite dramatically I might add. "Cheers," Kakashi, Kana, Anko, Ayame, Gai, and Gennma said as they took a drink of sake. "Cheers," said Tenten, Neji, Ino, Sakura (though reluctantly), Shikamaru, Choji, and Naruto said as they took a drink of whatever they had poured themselves, water, sparkling cider, ect. "Cheers," Lee said, talking a sip of his sake, wait….SaKe? Yes, sake, there was no mistaking it, he had, once again, grabbed Gai's sake by mistake. Lee hiccupped. Everyone's head turned toward Lee. "What chu lookin' at?" Lee flopped to the floor and did the worm. "YAY! Lee is dancing, daddy!" Kohana laughed.


"..." crash "Whoa! Look daddy, Lee sempai stuck Naruto san on the Korean barbeque!" Kohana rolled over with laugher, "Again, again!" crash "…"
Gack! What was the point? Well, right now I'm working on ideas for another story, so I had to take a break from serious writing for a change, I hope the next chapter will have more plot... -.-;; Well, I hope you liked it anyhow.
