Kakashi's View:

The village may have been destroyed, but my dad's house had survived. It was just outside of the village, untouched by the fight with Pain. I guess it had been a smart idea after all, it had annoyed me that it wasn't in the village when I was younger, but now I see why. The only thing was, I had planned on moving everything from the house we currently had to this one. We didn't have anything except our sleeping bags and some cook wear I had decided to keep. We'd see what was left tomorrow, but I doubted that more than a few pictures survived.

"Why didn't you tell me of this place before?" Iruka asked as he looked around. It was much bigger than the one I had, and four times the size of his apartment.

"Maa...well…" The memories it had held didn't seem to bother me quite as much now. "It was easier to live in the village at the time." I was about to sell the current place for just a bed and a bathroom when I found Aurora. The ANBU was grueling work…

"Right." Iruka looked around a bit but didn't stray as far as Aurora. She'd run off down the hall to look around. "When did you move?"

"Hm, fourteen? It hasn't been lived in in a while." I admitted, which made him stop in the middle of the living area.

"Are you sure…you want to come back?" I gave a short laugh at him.

"I'm sure. Iruka...what did you see? When you died?" I had to ask in order to explain what happened.

"I...I don't know." Iruka scratched at the scar on his face, looking adorable as he tried to recall. My death made me realise what I had and realise what I wanted. "I'm not sure I died. See...I was about to, I felt it. Then...I felt someone trying to heal me."

"Katsuyu, Tsunade's summon. My guess is she got to you just in time." I was glad to hear he didn't die.

"Did...did you die?" Iruka put his hands on my shoulders, pulling me closer to inspect me. He took off my headband to check my face, leaving the mask up for me.

"Iruka, I'm fine." I assured him, taking a hold of his hands. "I...saw my dad again. We finally got the closure we needed…" Iruka smiled softly. "That's why I think I can stay here again." I took his headband off his forehead to kiss it.

"Hn...is...the offer to move in still up?" We laughed, knowing that it had been this whole time.

"You sure your apartment manager won't mind?" I teased, earning a tighter embrace.

"I'm pretty sure he won't care." He was just about to pull my mask down to kiss me when I hear Aurora running down the hall.

"Is this where we live now?" She sounded excited, but her face fell a bit when she saw what we were doing. "Are you kissing again?" I watched with glee as Iruka turned red.

"Not yet." I told her, which made him turn a darker shade. She made a face, thinking kissing was gross. "Yes, this is where we live now. This is where I grew up." I told her, forcing myself to step away from Iruka to show her around. Iruka followed, taking my hand as I led them around.

Aurora liked my old room, it was bigger than her current one and would be perfect as she grew. In this house, she even had her own bathroom. My dad's old room had a separate bathroom attached, which meant we didn't all have to share one bathroom any more. Iruka was just happy the tub was big enough for two. This gave me other ideas when he pointed that out.

The only things left in each room were the mirrors on the closet doors. Guess it would do for now until we found new things. It was the least of my concern right now. Iruka was aware, but he had no idea how bad a state Tsunade was in. This left an opening for the Hokage title, one I knew Danzō would try to take advantage of. Tomorrow was going to be a very long day…

"Kakashi, you alright?" Iruka came back into our room after getting Aurora settled in. There was a chance she'd come and stay with us tonight anyway, she didn't like new places.

"Yeah, I'm alright." I didn't want to ruin the night with politics. "Think she'll stay in her room?"

"Depends on if the supposed monster in the closet comes out…" Iruka sighed. A new thing from her, but kids imaginations ran wild at her age.

"Ah, there's a monster in there, huh?" Iruka laughed, sitting on his sleeping bag.

"Apparently. We might need to get her a night light until she gets used to this place." I regret getting rid of everything now, I had one in that room just before I cleared it out. Oh well, hindsight I guess.

"Hn." I grunted in acknowledgement, not really interested in talking about nightlights. While Iruka was distracted with getting his flak jacket off, I pinned him to the floor, pulling his shirt collar down to nip at his neck.

"Hey." He said more in surprise to being pinned down on his stomach. "Kashi…" His surprise turned into purrs.

"I thought I wasn't going to see you again…" I told him, letting my hand slip into his waistband. I felt him reposition himself a little to reach up to cup my face, making me shift so he was sitting in my lap. In this position, we were facing the closet mirrors, making my pants tighten at all the dirty things I could do with that.

"I was afraid of that too…" He said softly, arching his back a little to look at me. "I'm not sure what I'd do without you…" He admitted, blushing softly.

"I know I wouldn't have made it this far without you." It was the truth, I would have lost myself in darkness again after Sasuke left. He crashed out lips together, needing to convey his love without words.

I grabbed his ass, slowly moving my hand to his cock. He moaned into the kiss as I palmed his dick through his boxers, hips pressing into my hand as he shamelessly grinded into it. I broke the kiss, pulling his pants completely off and tossing them away so I could give him a proper handjob.

The noises he was making made me worry Aurora would hear, seeing as I had yet to put any kind of silence seal on the door. Then again, she was further down the hall now so maybe we could get away with it tonight. Iruka looked too good to stop now.

I watched us in the mirror, loving the faces he made when I squeezed him in the right places while I stroked him.

"Look…" I grabbed his cheeks with the other hand and lifted his head to make him look at himself in the mirror. He instantly turned red, the head of his dick leaking precum at the sight of himself. "You look so beautiful right now…" I whispered into his ear, shifting to free my own need from my pants. In this position, I couldn't pull my pants down any further than past my hips, but I was still able to completely free myself. Iruka's eyes widened a bit, pupils dilating as he watched me line up to his entrance in the mirror.

"K-Kakashi!" He arched, the feeling of me going in mostly dry wasn't anything new, but we hadn't done this in a while. I did wonder though if he continued to finger himself, he wasn't as tight as I thought he would be.

The sound I made was almost inhuman as I entered him, biting at the nape of his neck as I sheathed myself deep inside of him. I waited for him to move his hips before grabbing his waist, setting a brutal pace. I wouldn't have if I didn't already know he liked a little pain. I looked back into the mirror, watching how his hole stretched perfectly around me every time I forced his hips down. He was trying to keep pace, but ended up just letting me fuck him when he was unable to keep up. He head fell back onto my shoulder as he moaned in abandon.

"You see how you look…so depraved..." I bit his neck again, watching him arch and make the hem of his shirt flutter to reveal his throbbing cock. With me completely clothed, the position and his look, it was like it was out of a porn novel. Yeah..this mirror will really come in handy… "Iruka…" I used one hand to keep pace, the other making him look again, the dazed look just completing my fantasy.

"Oh god…" I felt him shiver as he moaned, precum leaking fast from his cock. I hadn't touched him since I started fucking him, I wanted to see him cum without me touching him.

"See where we connect...how we fit together." I licked up his neck as I spoke, nipping at his ear as he watched, finally meeting my eye. His eyes rolled back, cumming hard and splashing the mirror a little. The sight alone had me filling him seconds later. He felt boneless in my arms, completely relaxed and at ease.

"Hm...I love you." I nuzzled into the crook of his neck as he calmed down. I felt him move, pouting when I slipped out of him when he turned to me.

"I...love you too." Iruka smile, pressing out cheeks together.

I really wanted to continue, to fuck this beautiful man until the sun came up, but fatherhood came with its ups and downs.

"Shit…" I said as we both heard running footsteps closing in. Iruka quickly found his pants, pulling them up as Aurora came in, tears running down her face.

"Aurora?" Iruka was good at hiding how out of breath he was, but he failed to get his hair back into a proper ponytail and not a "I just got railed," mess.

"The monster is back!" She ran to him, jumping into his arms. "Is wants to get me.." She sobbed.

"Hey, now, it's ok." Iruka held her. "Aurora, there's no monster in there, remember? The closet was empty."

"No, it's there…" She hid her face into his shirt. I hoped she didn't see the dark, bruising bite marks on his neck.

"Maa, alright. I'll go check with you, ok?" I was going to solve this tonight.

The room was empty, like Iruka said, but Aurora insisted there was something there. Even with all the lights on, she didn't believe me.

"Alright, get your sleeping bag." As I had guessed, she got scared from being in a new place and was staying with us.

Iruka cleaned up while I went with her, making sure to hide the fact that we had christened the room.

"You staying with us?" Iruka motioned for her to lay her sleeping bag between ours. "It's ok to be afraid, but I promise there's nothing in your closet." He stroked her hair after she laid down. The second I turned the light off, she whined and hid under the covers.

"Don't worry, you're safe here." Iruka rubbed her back through the covers, making the little lump move further into the covers. I laid down on the other side, pulling the covers back a bit to look at her. "There's no need to hide."

"What if the monster followed us?" The way she whispered it made me chuckle.

"Aurora…" She pouted at me laughing at her for being cute. "There's no monsters in this house." I'd know if someone was here, the hounds were allowed to stay in the yard tonight. I decided they deserve a nice break and let them enjoy running in the grass.

"Promise?" Iruka suppressed a laugh.

"Promise." We both said, which got her to finally come out. " See, nothing to worry about."

She trusted our word, settling down enough to almost fall asleep. Iruka and I were about to as well, exchanging silent goodnights. I might have taken it too far, signaling to him with my hands what I wanted to do to him. He glared when my right pointer finger went through the hole I made with my left hand, nearly throwing a pillow at me. He didn't, knowing he would hit Aurora instead. He just turned the other way, ignoring me.

I had just closed my eyes, giving up on getting Iruka to look at me again when I hear Aurora shift.

"What's on the mirror?" I opened my good eye to see her sitting up and looked over to the mirror. Looks like Iruka missed a spot to hide the evidence of our love making.

"Er…" I saw Iruka stiffen in his reflection. "It's an old house, it could be a flaw in the mirror." She wasn't stupid, wanting to ask me more about why a flaw would be opaque and white, but I made her lay down. "It's passed your bedtime, time to sleep." She sighed, rolling over to look away from me.

I laid down, looking up at the ceiling and waiting for everyone's breathing to even out. As quietly as I could, I got up, looking over the two of them. This is what I wanted. I only realised what I truly had after my death, what I was going to lose when my time did come.

I stoked Aurora's short, red hair, careful not to wake her. She smiled in her sleep, cuddling down further.

"If you wake her, you have to deal with her." Iruka whispered, surprising me a little.

"Don't worry, she's still a deep sleeper." She had no reason to be on guard all the time like I did.

"I guess." Iruka reached up to me when I moved over to lean over him, pulling me closer. "What are you doing up?"

"Can't sleep…"

"You're as bad as her." He smirked.

"I don't think there's monsters in the closet." That made him roll his eyes.

"No, but you do think somethings wrong all the time." I poked me in the forehead. "You both over think."

"Hm, I suppose…" But I had reasons to watch my back. One was looming just beyond the shadows, waiting to strike when I had my guard down.

"Will you try to stay off the roof this time?"

"There's no neighbors out here…" This time he did hit me with his pillow. "Hey…"

"You want Aurora to find you naked on the roof?" He scolded me. It wouldn't be the first time she'd seen me naked, but it would have be a first to see me from the roof.

"Fine…no being naked on the roof."

"Kakashi…" I knew what he meant, but he also knew I would be up if I choose to be. "Fine, just try to rest at some point tonight?"

I made a promise, but I didn't keep it. Even with my hounds around, I didn't feel like this place was safe enough yet. Pakkun had woken up when I went out to set a perimeter around the fence.

"Really boss, we got it." The pug was sitting behind me as I finished.

"Better to be extra cautious…" Bull was the next to join, putting his giant head on my shoulder. I scratched his head, earning myself a very wet kiss from the large dog. "Thanks…" He wasn't trying to make my clothes wet, but he couldn't help it.

"Let me guess, that bastard that took our pup is up to no good?" Pakkun was pretty good at picking things up. "You know we'll fight tooth and nail for her, she'll be fine."

"I'm just afraid of what he might do to get her away from me." With him in charge, he could find a loophole in god knows what and change the custody of Aurora. He could, in theory, even look at my track record and see me unfit to be her caregiver. He did have to then fight Iruka, which would be quite the scene. If I knew him, he's tear Danzō a new asshole before giving Aurora over to him.

"You worry too much…" Pakkun sighed, following me back inside. "Will it make you feel better with us in here?" I knew they just wanted inside, but I let them, seeing as there wasn't anything they could get into right now.

"Just this once…"

I was awoken by Iruka's loud gasp. I opened my eye to see Bull looming over him, panting loudly and drooling onto Iruka's face.

"Ugh...Kakashi…" He wiped his face, pushing the big dog away. Bull whined, moving over to awaken Aurora with a lick across her face, her hair sticking up from his drool.

"Bull...gross!" She scolded him, but she wasn't big enough to push him off and got another loving kiss. "Stop!"

"Ok, she's had enough." I gently pushed him away. "We're awake now." Bull had a habit of making sure everyone got up at the same time. He was a living alarm clock.

The rubble of our old home was pretty depressing. The one wall that still stood was the one we shared with the old woman, somehow both stair cases had survived. They no longer lead to anything but a sheer drop to broken concrete below.

Aurora looked through some of it, seeing what was left to salvage. Most of the wood could be used, the rest was trashed.

"Oh look!" She pulled out something from a pile of debris. "Usagi survived." The blue bunny was dusty and missing an eye, but looked pretty good considering.

"Ah, that's good." At least something was left. I had also found most of my old pictures, the only one missing was one of Iruka and me. I didn't care about that one, I had the real thing still. I also found my book collection, thanking whatever gods there were those survived too.

"Looks like that's all that's left." Iruka sighed, finishing sorting some wood out of everything. "Not too bad considering…" He wiped sweat of his brow.

"We faired better than most." There were still thousands that had nothing left. "Come on, let's see what else can be done."

I was unfortunately called off to do a perimeter patrol while Iruka was called off to help sort more useful debris. Deciding that Aurora would be more helpful with me, I took her with me. She was still a little young, but she could help hand out water to some of the workers near the gate.

We ran into Naruto and Sakura already on guard, who had met up with Inari and Tazuna from the Land of Waves. Aurora hid behind my leg, still shy around new people. She only waved when the old man greeted her. Of course, they hadn't known about Sasuke so when they asked to talk to him, everyone's face fell.

"Well...you see...Sasuke...er…"

"Sasuke and I had a fight and he left the village for a little while." Naruto quickly covered. "I'll bring him back soon." Sakura looked thankful to Naruto while Aurora questioned it. They left not long after, needing to get back to work.

A few minutes after they left, Kiba came running to us on Akamaru.

"There you are!"

"Kiba-kun?" Aurora watched him as the dog stopped in front of us.

"Listen...Tsunade's been dismissed as Hokage. The Sixth Hokage is some guy named Danzō, I don't know who he is but he's pretty shady." Kiba's words made my blood turn cold.

"Danzō?!" Sakura knew him, he'd been a pest to Tsunade since she took office.

"That's not the worst...the new Hokage...wants to dispose of Sasuke and marked him as a missing nin!" I watched the light leave Aurora's eyes and the shock on the others.

"What the hell?!" Naruto was pissed off.

"I'm not surprised they didn't wait for Tsunade to recover." I knew he'd pull a power move. "It's true, Sasuke is a missing-nin. The punishment is death...it's only because Tsunade has been lenient that he hasn't been killed." I told them, knowing it was coming to this. This made Sakura determined to talk to Danzō.

"Sakura!" I grabbed her arm when she tried to run off. "Going in there and yelling at him won't solve anything…" Both of them started arguing with me, telling me it wasn't fair. I was highly aware it wasn't fair.

"I know you won't leave it alone when it comes to Sasuke, Danzō does too. Listen, the Jonins haven't voted yet, but Danzō is the acting Hokage for now. If you make a wrong move, you will get thrown in jail." I think he wanted that, to keep Naruto in the village like he wanted all along. He would use Naruto as a weapon, even if he had to force him. Naruto wasn't listening, even Kiba tried to reason.

"Naruto-nii, stop it!" He stopped, turning around to look at Aurora. "He wants you to go to him…" She knew how he worked all too well. "Look…" She lifted her sleeve to show him the seal.

"What the…" Naruto's eyes widened.

"He'll seal you too…"

"Naruto, she's right. You'll be playing right into his hands. Since you have the nine tailed fox, Danzō plans on keeping you trapped in the village. If that happens, you won't be able to go find Sasuke."

Naruto and Sakura went off to a different area, leaving me and Aurora time to talk.

"Will...Sasuke-nii really be killed?" She asked.

"I don't know." I hoped not, but as I had said he was still a missing-nin. "If he comes back to us, no." He had to give up first.

Aurora and I had to stay near the lumberyard to make sure no one took anything. I wasn't sure who would even try, you'd have to be pretty dimwitted to steal near a ninja village. Aurora suddenly ran back, scared of something that was following her.

"What is it?" I asked as she hugged my leg. Sai came around the corner, looking relieved to find me.

"I'm sorry to have scared you. It wasn't my intention." The boy gave her a genuine smile. "I have something to tell you…" He began telling me what happened to Naruto and told me he was in a medical tent with Yamato. The Lightning Village didn't take kindly to him telling them he was fighting to save Sasuke.

"I see…" Aurora was upset that Naruto was hurt.

"Kakashi-senpai…" Sai bowed his head. "Is the bond between Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke have that important? Even if it causes pain?"

"Sai, you're supposed to watch Naruto right?" I knew what he was sent for, Danzō was watching the nine tails using Sai. He panicked a little. "It's ok, I know. But is helping Naruto like that part of your job?" It seemed Sai was understanding it a little better. "I think deep down, you know, Sai."

I knew how hard it was making the realisation that you could actually care about someone, especially when all you knew was darkness.

Naruto was a lot worse than Sai let on. "They really did a number on you…" Aurora stayed back, afraid to hurt him if she touched him.

"I'll be fine...besides I heal fast." That didn't mean he shouldn't be looked at. Naruto announced he was going to meet the Raikage, but he needed our help to do that. Yamato argued that he was needed here, but I was sure the village would be ok without his help for a little while.

"I met the Forth…" He announced, ignoring Yamato's protest and shocking us all. "Yeah...he told me the masked man is the one who attacked almost sixteen years ago."

"It's just a Jiraiya feared…" All those years ago, we suspected it had been an Uchiha, but not one that was in the village. "Only Madara Uchiha had that much hatred and power to control the nine tailed fox." I had to explain to him and Aurora who Madara was.

"Sai, will you tell the Hokage this news." He agreed. Knowing how important this was. "Naruto, what did the fourth tell you?"

"Huh?"

"Fathers usually have something to say to their sons." Aurora had guessed right all those years ago, but I couldn't tell her until Naruto figured it out himself.

"He said he had faith in me." The blonde beamed. Of course Minato-sensei did, we all did.

"Great." I gave him an eye smile. "Well, that settles it. Yamato and I will go with you to go to the Raikage."

"What?!" Yamato wasn't liking the idea, but if we didn't go with him he'd just run off anyway.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine." He didn't think so, but I knew we'd make it out ok.
