Their baby was definitely curious about everything. It had been over five months and the baby was crawling around the nursery inspecting everything. He played with all his toys but his favorite was the dolphin plushy and the stuffed white puppy. He was a real smart kid too.
The baby didn't cry often and observed more. He did like all the food he was fed from either Kakashi or Iruka (the home made food they made before). Although for some reason the baby didn't like carrots, pomegranates, or grapes.
Iruka knew that Kakashi had left to go training for a few hours. Iruka himself, once his one month was over, trained by himself as well for a few hours wanting to get back into shape.
Iruka was currently bathing Akeno in the sink who was really enjoying his bath with the ninja rubber ducky Kakashi got him as a present.
"Akeno-kun, don't splash Okaa-san!" Iruka said playfully tapping a bubble covered finger onto Akeno's nose. Akeno laughed happily holding out his rubber ducky for Iruka.
"Is that for me? Why thank you, I love it!" Iruka said happily draining the water from the sink. He grabbed a duck covered towel lifting the baby up gently, quickly drying the child before it started squirming.
"Love you" Iruka whispered kissing the baby all over the head as the child hung on to Iruka's shirt tightly yawning sleepily.
"Hey" Kakashi said softly, startling Iruka who pulled out two shuriken from nowhere it seemed. Kakashi awkwardly laughed rubbing his head.
"Sorry koi" Kakashi smiled at the man. Iruka smiled back before kissing Kakashi on the cheek, headed for the nursery. Akeno was dressed quickly and placed into his crib; who was already asleep.
Kakashi quietly followed after Iruka, shuffling his child's hair. Both looked down into the crib just watching their child for a moment, feeling content.
Both walked back to their room, Kakashi quietly closing the door.
"Kashi…" Iruka whispered softly feeling his body get hot for some reason. Kakashi immediately held Iruka from behind, his hands wandering up Iruka's shirt.
"Kakashi!" Iruka blushed trying to keep his voice down.
"I did make the room sound proof" Kakashi smirked seeing Iruka's blush double.
"B-But, but" Iruka tried but failed in his argument the moment Kakashi's lips attacked his, one hand pinching his nipple.
"N-No" Iruka mumbled out between Kakashi's kissing before he took handfuls of Kakashi's hair; massaging the man's scalp.
Kakashi lifted Iruka bridal style, flopping the man onto the bed, before undressing quickly. Iruka squeaked as the blush on his face remained where it was. Iruka couldn't really object at the moment considering Kakashi was hot as hell, smirking like a deviously handsome god. Kakashi crawled on top of Iruka, kissing the daylights out of him, messaging Iruka through his pants.
Iruka let out a gasp and moan trying to keep up with Kakashi's sinful kissing.
"You don't know how long" Kakashi groaned out, his finger's slipping into Iruka's opening. Iruka's mouth dropped down as his body shivered. Kakashi slowly licked up and down Iruka's member, blowing on it to give Iruka a hot and cold sensation.
"I do" Iruka whispered out, his eyes already glazed over.
Iruka couldn't hold his voice in at his point. Moan after moan left his mouth before Kakashi removed his fingers making Iruka whimper in disagreement.
"You are so impatient koi" Kakashi winked at him. Iruka peeked open his eyes before smirking at Kakashi.
"Can you really say that when 'little Kakashi' is saying hi to me?" Iruka laughed softly. Kakashi's member was standing proudly, ready and excited. Iruka really started laughing when Kakashi actually had a blush on his cheeks.
"Well he hasn't said hi in a while. He's missed you" Kakashi winked at Iruka before slowly pushing his head inside Iruka's entrance. Iruka's head threw back against the pillow. Kakashi inside him sparked out lost feelings he hadn't felt in a while. Kakashi had the same feelings too it seemed when he started thrusting inside Iruka at a mild pace.
"So tight koi" Kakashi huffed out loving how warm it was. A sheen of sweat started to cover them both, Kakashi picking up speed. Iruka's ass was in Kakashi's lap, his body being shoved into the bed by the force. Kakashi leaned up kissing and sucking on Iruka's moth and tongue. Iruka could barely breathe properly while his body felt like it was in a lustful and hot fire.
"Oh Kashi!" Iruka moaned loudly hearing the bed creak as Kakashi picked up the pace.
"Just so you know, this is only round one" Kakashi nearly growled at Iruka who in return made a high pitched gasp.
"Yeah!" Iruka's breathe shuttered out.
"I'm going to get as many rounds as I can" Kakashi smirked as Iruka's blush just grew on his face. Iruka opened his eyes, lust and love showing, as their gazes clashed. Somehow an animalistic desire overwhelmed them. They needed this; the needed this more than anything.
"Do you know how?" Kakashi huskily whispered out, his hand going to Iruka's member, stroking quickly.
Iruka's mouth was just dropped at this point, unable to say anything other than moaning out Kakashi's name.
"By doing this" Kakashi slammed hard into Iruka's prostate, purposely missing it before. Iruka heaved off of the bed a sob escaping him as pleasure soared up his spine. Iruka was slamming hard back into Kakashi, nothing appeared around Iruka at this point besides Kakashi; not the room, not the sheets. They both could feel the coils inside them ready to explode.
"Oh Kami, Ruka, I love you so much" Kakashi nearly growled out thrusting hard into Iruka's prostate four more times.
"I love you, Kami!" Iruka's breathing was close to how hyperventilating sounded, "Kashi I love you!"
Iruka's back arched, pleasure soaring through his body at an alarming pace. He came long and hard, silently screaming for it to end or for it to never end. Right now, his mind was blank. His toes curled and his hands clutched the blankets making his knuckles white.
Kakashi came hard into Iruka as Iruka's entrance tried to squeeze every last drop from him. Pleasure ripped through him aggressively holding on to Iruka's hips for dear life. Kakashi fell slightly to the side of Iruka, still inside him, never wanting to come out again.
Iruka's was panting hard, Kakashi's own breathing was still quickened slightly. Kakashi started kissing Iruka over and over, starting round two.
It was around three in the morning now, and both men were passed out. Both felt so content and happy it seemed surreal. They stopped around one, taking a shower together, before redressing by two. They stopped going at it after the fifth round since they just got back to being together like that.
Iruka heard a whimper, peaking open his eyes for a moment. When the whimpering continued he got up, slightly worried, to see the baby.
"Akeno-kun?" Iruka whispered out seeing the baby standing in the crib, tear stained.
Iruka saw the white stuffed dog on the floor and smiled softly. He picked up the plushy handing it to the upset child whose tears subsided. Akeno squeezed his hands open and closed wanting to be picked up. Iruka's smile just grew holding the child with the plushy, sitting in the rocking chair. The child hung on to Iruka with one hand and the plushy with another. Iruka smiled, suddenly craving tea. He quietly got up, headed for the kitchen.
"Hey where is Iruka-san?"
"No idea"
"Hey Kakashi" Tenzou said somewhat loudly. Kakashi snapped his head up, groggily noticing Tenzou right in his face. Kakashi peeked to the side before his eyes widened, not seeing Iruka.
"Where is he" Kakashi growled lowly, hand wrapping around Tenzou's throat fast.
"He wasn't here when we arrived!" Naruto said suddenly. Kakashi looked darkly at them releasing Tenzou's throat.
"We have a mission for you"
"So get dressed"
"Not until I find Iruka" Kakashi said seriously, hopping out of the bed. He immediately went to the nursery before his eyes widened slightly.
"Akeno-outoto is gone too!" Naruto said worriedly. Kakashi walked out fast, observing the living room quickly, not seeing them, before he sighed in relief seeing Iruka drinking some tea with Akeno in his arms in the kitchen.
"Iruka" Kakashi breathed out softly. Iruka looked up quickly before smiling softly.
"Don't scare me like that" Kakashi said quietly, walking over to the man.
"He's not in the back!"
"Pakkun hasn't seen him"
"He wasn't in the guest room"
"All the bathrooms are empty"
All the Anbu walked in before stopping and seeing a blushing Iruka.
"Uh…" Iruka said confused.
"Don't just leave without telling Kakashi-sensei something!" Naruto said quietly trying to keep down his voice.
"Yeah he almost choked me to death when he didn't see you!" Tenzou said, also quietly, yet slightly annoyed.
"S-Sorry. Akeno-kun was upset" Iruka whispered out shuffling his son's hair. Their son groggily woke up looking around curiously before seeing Kakashi. He made cute little sounds, beckoning Kakashi to hold him with his little hands opening and closing. Kakashi smirked gently at the baby, before holding the baby throwing him up and down in the air, the baby started laughing for a few minutes before Anbu interrupted.
"As cute as this visit has been you have a mission Kakashi" One of the Anbu said trying not to laugh.
"A mission?" Iruka said saddened.
"It's okay Iruka-kun" Kakashi said seriously, as their baby just held on to his shirt touching his masked covered face.
"How long is it?" Iruka asked quietly.
"Three weeks" Tenzou said quietly rubbing the back of his head.
"Three weeks!" Kakashi and Iruka practically yelled at the man.
"It's just a retrieval mission!" Tenzou tried.
"Just get dressed Hatake, we leave in an hour" all the Anbu left at once, Kakashi sighing.
"Three weeks" Iruka said sadly taking Akeno from Kakashi. Akeno looked up worriedly at Iruka cocking his head in question. Akeno was starting to babble incoherently up at his parents wondering what was wrong. Kakashi sighed quickly leaving to get dressed before returning to the kitchen.
"It won't be so bad koi" Kakashi said, trying to sound convincing; although he was hardly convincing himself.
"Now you and Akeno behave and don't get into trouble" Kakashi said softly kissing Iruka long and sweet.
"I'll miss you" Iruka whispered out unable to stop kissing the man.
"Me too" Kakashi whispered. Kakashi kissed Akeno on the head bidding Iruka goodbye, before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Iruka put Akeno back to bed, hoping the three weeks passed by quickly.
So far it had been one week and Iruka stopped by the school to show off Akeno as the other children awed at the baby. Another week had passed and Iruka found Sakura just staring at their plants, which almost gave him a heart attack.
It had now been two and a half weeks and Iruka was folding laundry in the nursery while Akeno crawled all around the floor observing again.
"Okaa-san misses your Tou-san Akeno" Iruka said softly smiling softly as images of Kakashi entered his head.
"Kaa-chan*" Akeno said happily. Iruka immediately froze turning slowly to the baby who was smiling happily at him. Akeno meant to say 'san' but said 'chan' instead.
"A-Akeno" Iruka choked out, tears leaving him.
"K-aa-chan" Akeno tried again seeing Iruka start to cry. Iruka immediately held Akeno tightly kissing him all over his head.
"Kaa-chan" Akeno said happily giggling.
"Wait till your Tou-san comes home" Iruka said proudly. Akeno just held the white puppy in his clutches watching his Okaa-san.
Another few days passed with Akeno saying Kaa-chan when wanting the man's attention (which was pretty much every ten minutes). It almost always made Iruka cry happily at the child.
Kakashi was supposed to be back in a day or two and Iruka was trying something. Iruka placed Akeno into his high chair feeding him.
"Can you say 'T-o-u-s-a-n" Iruka said trying to speak slowly to get every letter pronounced in the name.
"Kaa-chan" Akeno said happily. Iruka sighed feeding him another spoon of mushed apples. Iruka had been trying for about an hour until Akeno didn't want to eat anymore and was tired.
"It's been almost six months and you are already talking" Iruka said proudly, shuffling his sleeping son's poof of silver hair. Another day passed and Iruka could feel his heart ache for Kakashi. He figured Akeno did too who only cried harder seeing Iruka be the one to comfort him, sometimes.
Iruka was bouncing Akeno on his knee, looking through a scrap book he tried making of him and Kakashi. He now added pictures of Akeno to it as well although it seemed Akeno was a little camera shy.
"You're Tou-san is so handsome" Iruka said with endearment touching Kakashi's masked face in a picture. The baby was looking curiously at the pictures.
"Tou…chan*" Akeno said quietly startling Iruka who froze on the spot. The baby touched Kakashi's picture.
"That's right Akeno-kun, that's right!" Iruka said happily. He had no idea his child would be speaking so soon! Sakura said somewhere starting at two years old he would start speaking, but this was incredible.
It was the late afternoon (Iruka already put Akeno down for a nap about two hours ago) and Iruka was getting more and more depressed the longer Kakashi was gone. That is until he heard the front door slam open and swift footsteps headed for the kitchen. Iruka immediately stood up heading towards the living room fast before a blur of white tackled him to the floor.
"Kash" Iruka started before getting kissed forcefully.
"I missed you, I missed you, I missed you" Kakashi said hurriedly before attacking Iruka's mouth again. The lied on the floor for a good thirty minutes just making out before Kakashi got a hold of himself again. Kakashi chuckled before helping Iruka off of the floor.
"Ahem" Iruka began getting Kakashi's attention, "welcome home" Iruka said beaming a smile at the man.
"So cute!" Kakashi said loudly tackling Iruka to the floor again.
"Hey Kashi-kun" Iruka said softly. Kakashi somehow made it so they were on the couch at least instead of the floor.
"Hm?" Kakashi said quietly, combing his fingers through Iruka's hair.
"When did you first talk?" Iruka asked curiously.
"I think I was…seven or eight months old. I think my first word was doggy actually" Kakashi said thinking about it.
"An Anbu member was with my father at the time and took a picture of his face when I said that" Kakashi said smiling, seeming to remember the picture.
"Why? Can't wait?" Kakashi said smugly. Iruka rolled his eyes hearing the smirk that was probably on Kakashi's face.
"Hey Akeno-kun has been worried about you! He should be getting up from his nap by now" Iruka said happily, dragging Kakashi through the hallway, hand in hand.
Kakashi's eyes softened as he obediently followed Iruka to the nursery. When they arrived Akeno was curiously standing up in his crib before a full blown smile showed on his face. Akeno had one dimple and he was absolutely adorable when he smiled like that.
Akeno open and closed his hands for Kakashi to hold him as Kakashi slowly made it to the cradle.
"Hey kiddo" Kakashi said happily shuffling the boy's hair. Kakashi was going to tease their baby a bit by not picking him up right away. The baby looked slightly flustered opening and closing his hands still.
"Akeno-kun, Tou-san is back" Iruka said softly, hoping the baby understood. Kakashi lifted up his eyebrow in question wondering if that wasn't obvious to the baby when he walked in.
"Tou-chan!" Akeno blurted out happily. Kakashi froze, his head snapping back to Akeno. Kakashi unfortunately was far to mind blown to see a flash of light.
"H-He, he," Kakashi began unsure of what to say.
"Tou-chan" Akeno said softly looking upset at Kakashi, like he was about to cry.
"Akeno!" Kakashi said happily, lifting his son up and spinning around while kissing him. Akeno giggled at his father, holding on to his shirt tightly.
"I can't…believe" Kakashi began, his heart beating proudly.
"I know" Iruka whispered out, sharing a kiss with Kakashi.
When Akeno was two years old, that is when Iruka and Kakashi heard the news first hand from Sakura.
"Does Naruto-kun know?" Iruka asked astonished.
"Nope. Apparently he is on a mission when it started" Sakura said smiling.
"I can just see that kid going crazy" Kakashi said smirking. Akeno was on the floor playing with his toy shuriken, kunai, and ninja dog. Akeno seemed to get tired of playing with his toys and ran up to Iruka to be held.
"What did I say about your toys Akeno?" Iruka said, standing up, hands on his hips. Akeno looked back at his toys, running amusingly back to pick them up, putting them in the basket by the door where his other toys were.
"Smart kid" Sakura said amazed as Kakashi nodded his head proudly.
Akeno hurriedly ran back, which was a little funny since he wasn't used to walking yet, before falling down. Akeno started to cry before Iruka hurriedly picked him up kissing him on the nose. Akeno held on to Iruka sniffling before Iruka sat back down on the couch with Kakashi. Kakashi shuffled Akeno's hair, smiling at how cute he was.
If Akeno didn't see Kakashi in a whole day, he knew that his father left to go do something. Akeno always expected him to come back though and he did.
"I kind of want to see Naruto-kun's reaction" Iruka smiled a little, trying to imagine his face.
"Yeah well both agreed to do it a few weeks ago and Naruto was sent on a mission unexpectedly. He should be back by tomorrow though" Sakura said, smiling.
"Wow. Well congratulations to them. I'll go give them a proper greeting when Naruto returns and finds out" Iruka said happily as Kakashi just hugged him around the shoulders.
"Well Akeno seems to be learning fairly quickly" Sakura said looking at the child curiously.
"Speaking at six months, walking in one and a half years, comprehending what you're saying" Sakura said which only caused Iruka to visibly blush and for Kakashi to have a tint to his own cheeks.
"If I didn't know better I'd say that he was another Hatake, Kakashi" Sakura said winking at them. Kakashi and Iruka just mumbled at her not sure what to say.
"Well I have to get going, I was supposed to me Sasuke-kun today and discuss details with him" Sakura said quickly, bidding them farewell.
"Kakashi…" Iruka said after a moment, Akeno picking up the papers and playing with them that were on the table.
"What if he gets hurt" Iruka said sadly, watching his son play with the paper. Kakashi sighed knowing he had the same worries Iruka did.
"He showed an interest in being a ninja, koi. I know it'll be hard but I will be with him. I'll train him and teach him. I'll make sure he makes mistakes and understands" Kakashi said quietly hoping it would convince Iruka.
"And what if something happens to you!?" Iruka said loudly startling both Kakashi and Akeno. Akeno looked at Iruka with worry, hugging his Okaa-san.
"Iruka…" Kakashi said crestfallen. He hated when these things were brought up.
"I know. It's the way life is" Iruka said sadly.
"I promised to try with all my might to come back. So if something ever did happen to me, just tell Akeno that his father did everything he could to come back to his family" Kakashi said gently.
Iruka was stricken but he just had to deal with it. Kakashi kissed Iruka gently wanting to erase the man's fears, but it was hard to do when he himself had those same fears.
"Kaa-chan" Akeno whispered out, crying.
"Oh Akeno sweetie, it's okay" Iruka said gently kissing Akeno on the head. Akeno looked at Kakashi only to get his hair shuffled by the man. Akeno hiccupped, resuming his hugging. Pakkun suddenly walked into the living room with the new toy Kakashi got for him.
"Doggy!" Akeno yelled out jumping out of Iruka's lap to run funnily towards Pakkun who ran playfully away.
Kakashi kissed Iruka long and hard immediately hugging Iruka tightly.
"Don't be sad anymore" Kakashi whispered out, looking at Iruka seriously. Iruka had been kind of sad for the past week.
Iruka looked away from him sighing.
"Hey…" Kakashi said quietly, bringing the man's chin up with his finger.
"You've been like this for a week. You should tell me what's been bothering you" Kakashi said worriedly which only caused Iruka to blush.
"It… it's nothing" Iruka said solemnly only getting a frown and stern look from Kakashi.
"Uh…um… Akeno is probably dirty by now so I'll go find him" Iruka said quickly, briskly walking to the kitchen and to the dog's room where he was sure to find Akeno.
"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked, right on his tail.
"Your annoying" Iruka said, sweat-dropping. He had to give credit to Kakashi, he didn't give up.
"Story of my life. Now what's wrong?" Kakashi said rolling his eyes, matching Iruka's speed down the hallway. Iruka didn't know why but he felt a tear leave him.
"Come on Iru… ka…?" Kakashi's looked beyond startled when he grabbed Iruka's arm, forcing the man to face him. He stopped immediately though seeing tears leave Iruka.
"Koi?" Kakashi said, deathly quiet beyond confused.
"Akeno's probably going to need a bath" Iruka said, placing a sad, water smile on. He quickly wiped his tears away walking in to the dog's room only to sweat drop. To say Akeno was dirty was an understatement. He was covered head to toe in dirt, along with most of Kakashi's squad.
"Akeno" Iruka said rolling his eyes. Akeno immediately ran up to Iruka wanting to be held again. Iruka bathed his son, Kakashi observing from afar, wondering what in the world was wrong with Iruka.
"Hey, Akeno is out of the food he likes so I was going to buy some more real quick okay?" Iruka said quickly, kissing Kakashi on the cheek.
"Sure" Kakashi said quietly.
Kakashi was holding on to Akeno, gazing off into space while most of Anbu was hanging out in his living room. Naruto came back but Anbu forced him to at least say 'hi' first.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei, what's up?" Naruto said curiously holding up a frog toy to Akeno who was poking at it curiously.
"Iruka has been sad lately and I don't know why" Kakashi said seriously, worried.
"I'm sure it's nothing. He's only been gone for like twenty minutes" Tenzou said quickly.
"You'd tell me right Akeno-kun?" Kakashi said smiling at the boy who smiled back up at him. Akeno understood what he was saying but didn't know how to say anything back.
"You'd tell me about your Okaa-san right?" Kakashi said, shuffling the boy's hair. Akeno began to sniffle suddenly.
"Kaa-chan, s-sad!" Akeno said starting to cry and rub his eyes. Kakashi looked completely taken aback.
"Wow your kid must be super smart" Naruto said amazed.
"Akeno-kun, why is Kaa-chan sad?" Kakashi asked curiously. Akeno hiccupped up at him, cocking his head to the side in question. All the Anbu were just watching Akeno at the moment who burst into tears again.
"Akeno it's okay" Kakashi said quietly wondering why the child was so upset.
"B-Bad m-man" Akeno said, rubbing his eyes harder. Anbu were completely taken aback at that point where Kakashi wasn't even sure what the kid was saying. After a few minutes Akeno calmed down and napped on Kakashi's lap.
"Kakashi-sensei" Naruto said seriously.
"I'll look into it" Kakashi said. Anbu sensed Iruka coming back and immediately disappeared. They liked hanging out with Iruka, but not when he was upset, especially on a vague subject.
"I'm back" Iruka said with a brown paper bag in his hands.
Iruka froze at the doorway seeing the calculating look in Kakashi's eyes.
"Put that in the kitchen Iruka" Kakashi said quietly, carrying his son down the hall to the nursery. Iruka gulped before putting what he had bought away. Iruka turned around before 'eeping' when Kakashi was right in his face looking angry.
"Uh…um… are you okay?" Iruka asked, trying not to stutter.
"Do I look okay?" Kakashi asked quietly, trying not to raise his voice.
"Did you eat something bad?" Iruka tried playing dumb, feeling a cold sweat on his neck. Iruka squeaked when Kakashi grabbed his forearms, looking deadly serious into his eyes.
"What 'bad man' was Akeno-kun talking about, Iruka?" Kakashi said very quietly. Iruka held in his gasp but that didn't stop the motion of his body from freezing.
Iruka looked away having anime tears run down his cheeks my own son ratted me out.
"You're not hurt are you?" Kakashi said seriously, his hand wandering up Iruka's shirt.
"I'm fine!" Iruka said, slapping Kakashi's hand away from under his shirt. Kakashi pouted at him before sighing.
"What's going on? Why haven't you said anything to me?" Kakashi said quietly sounding bored. Iruka immediately froze again. Kakashi only tried sounding bored around him when he was actually upset. Iruka could practically hear the disappointment in Kakashi's voice.
"It's um… it was nothing to bother you with" Iruka said blushing. Kakashi crossed his arms turning away from Iruka. Iruka sighed rubbing the back of his neck. Kakashi was stubborn but Iruka wasn't really one to talk.
"It's just that… I've been having these awful nightmares lately and then I thought I saw something the other day. I didn't mean to seem so upset about it. I especially didn't think Akeno-kun would say anything" Iruka sighed knowing he should have been more careful with what he said around Akeno.
"That's why I went shopping today, to observe the place I thought I saw something by" Iruka said recalling the tree where he thought he saw a figure standing behind.
"Do you know how dangerous that was!? What if there was someone there! What if he was really dangerous!?" Kakashi said seriously turning around quickly.
"Are you saying I can't protect myself!?" Iruka said just as angrily, "whether you have forgotten it or not, I am a ninja of this village and am still a man!" Iruka practically yelled out walking angrily out of the kitchen. Kakashi heard a door slam farther away before scratching the back of his head.
"Damn it" Kakashi mumbled out.
"Sasuke-kun I'm home!" Naruto yelled out making their apartment echo.
Man I am so dead beat tired right now Naruto thought tiredly in his head.
Sasuke immediately froze. He just finished throwing up for the third time that day about two seconds ago. He just brushed his teeth again rubbing his head; he had an awful headache today.
Sasuke and Naruto had already planned about a month ago, when they wanted Sakura over to do whatever she did to make a man pregnant. Unfortunately, the week Sakura was going to do it was the week Naruto had to leave for a mission so he was completely unaware that Sasuke was now pregnant.
Of course Sasuke was nervous and watching everything Sakura was doing trying not to move. She did give him a heads up that she wasn't entirely sure why Iruka's make shift uterus was retroverted the last time but tried tilting her hand a little upwards this time.
Sakura was able to collect the invisible seeds from Iruka and Kakashi's plants, giving them to the couples who wanted to have children in their possible futures.
Of course Sasuke was confused as to why he threw up at least four times a day when Iruka only threw up twice a day; lucky bastard. Sasuke was kind of nervous to tell Naruto anyway that he was pregnant considering Naruto wanted to be there when Sakura placed whatever she did into him; he hoped he wouldn't be too upset about it.
"Sasuke?" Naruto called about the apartment wondering where he was. It was past dusk so Sasuke wasn't usually out late unless he forgot about the time while training.
"I'm here, I'm here" Sasuke called lazily, walking into the kitchen seeing Naruto already eating an instant ramen. Sasuke rolled his eyes at the boy wondering how he made that so quickly.
"Jeez Teme I called your name like fifty times" Naruto said pouting.
"You called my name three times before you started eating ramen, Dobe" Sasuke said drolly, rolling his eyes. Naruto kind of just observed Sasuke for a moment looking up and down at him.
"You okay Teme? You look kind of sick" Naruto said, slightly worried. Sasuke immediately had a tint of pink to his cheeks fidgeting slightly.
"Well we were kind of excited so we couldn't really wait or anything" Sasuke said quietly nervously pushing his forefingers together.
"Do what? With who?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Sakura-chan…and… you know" Sasuke said quietly avoiding his gaze from Naruto completely.
"I don't get it…" Naruto said after a few minutes of awkward silence. Sasuke immediately sweat dropped.
Why does he have to be so dense!? Sasuke thought sighing.
"Well I was kind of worried you'd be upset which is why Sakura-chan said the morning sickness was worse for me right now" Sasuke said quietly hoping that giant clue gave it away.
"What am I being upset about?" Naruto was just plain confused at this point. Sasuke just face palmed himself wishing the Dobe would just get it.
Sasuke immediately caught Naruto's eye, slowly sliding his hand down to his stomach resting it there. Sasuke's heart was beating sporadically at the fact he was touching his child right now.
"Do you have a stomach ache or something?" Naruto said worriedly, "do you want some soup?"
Sasuke, at this point, sighed exasperatedly thinking he might as well just say it point blank.
"I'm pregnant" Sasuke said, monotone and serious.
Sasuke just watched Naruto's face as if he could see the clockwork slowly working in his head.
Paler than usual… morning sickness… stressed… hand on stomach… pregnant (echoing)… pregnant… pregnant… pregnant!
Naruto's eyes slowly grew wider and wider, his mouth matching those actions, just staring up and down from Sasuke's face down to his stomach for a good five minutes. Sasuke was just really debating if he should go sit down and read for a while until Naruto actually figured it out.
"S-Sasuke…" Naruto said quietly walking slowly over to the man. Sasuke just fidgeted some more. There were two ways this could go. Naruto would be super happy, or he would be upset he wasn't here.
"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled hugging him tightly.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled out as it was getting harder to breathe.
"Sorry, sorry!" Naruto said immediately, "did I hurt you!? Are you okay!?" Naruto asked worriedly not sure where he should touch Sasuke at this point.
"I'm fine Dobe" Sasuke said really touched by Naruto's actions.
"Are you really… I mean…" Naruto began looking hopefully into his eyes.
"I am" Sasuke whispered out. Naruto kissed Sasuke passionately for longer than either could remember.
"Are you really okay with it?" Naruto asked worriedly.
"I did it without you here didn't I?" Sasuke said seriously. Naruto smiled at him, happily looking down at his stomach.
Sasuke took Naruto's hand unexpectedly, placing it onto his stomach. Naruto immediately had a blush before a full blown smile was emitted onto his face.
"Hi in their Akachan!" Naruto said happily. Sasuke smiled down at the blonde grateful that all of this actually happened to him.
Kakashi was sitting on the couch not sure what he should do. Iruka had been gone for a good hour. Kakashi didn't mean to make it sound like Iruka was incapable of doing anything, Kakashi just worried constantly about the man and their child considering he didn't want anything to happen to them.
*whimper, whimper*
Kakashi perked up walking somewhat quickly to the opened the door seeing Akeno standing in his crib with the dolphin plushy fallen out of it. Kakashi smiled at him, handing the toy back to the saddened child.
"Tou-chan!" Akeno said happily. Kakashi kissed the boy on the head, lifting him up slightly to put him under the blanket again.
"You go back to sleep Akeno. You haven't slept for very long" Kakashi said quietly. Akeno yawned at him going back to sleep. Kakashi sighed deciding to go find Iruka.
Iruka was dangling his feet off of the square porch that surrounded the slightly large open yard. He was looking at the ring Kakashi got for him, fiddling with it while it was on his finger.
So much has happened in almost five years Iruka thought amazed. Iruka sighed thinking he might have overreacted to Kakashi. Kakashi knew that Iruka wasn't someone to mess with any way; he learned that immediately after becoming friends with him.
"Hey" Kakashi said quietly, sitting next to the man.
"Hi" Iruka said quietly leaning against the post he was sitting next to. Kakashi gently took his hand, the one that had his wedding ring on it, fiddling with the ring himself.
"Listen… I didn't mean…" Kakashi began quietly.
"It's okay. You didn't do anything. I've been stressed lately and I took it out on you" Iruka said seriously, "I'm really sorry."
Kakashi was actually kind of surprised. Iruka hadn't been the one to apologize to him in a long time. Of course Iruka wasn't usually the one who did something to get Kakashi upset.
"I kept something from you again and got you mad at me again. I just hide things from you and hurt you" Iruka said sadly, looking away ashamed.
"Hey" Kakashi said quietly, lifting Iruka's face towards him.
"It's okay. Stop apologizing. You didn't really do anything wrong. I just worry about you" Kakashi said seriously.
"Why?" Iruka asked sadly. He could take care of himself. It wasn't like he's never been out in the world before.
"Because your my comrade, best friend, lover, husband, bearer of my child – " Kakashi began counting on his fingers about to continue before Iruka covered his mouth quickly with his hands.
"That's alright. Don't make a list…!" Iruka said, blushing.
"But you seem to forget that so I thought I'd remind you" Kakashi said happily.
"Th-There's no need!" Iruka said embarrassed.
"So cute!" Kakashi suddenly kissed Iruka passionately surprising the man.
"Ahem" Iruka said, eyebrow twitching.
"Sorry. Manly in a cute way. You should really write that on a sticky note for me so I don't forget" Kakashi said, winking at him. Iruka rolled his eyes before standing up.
Iruka arms went around Kakashi's neck as Kakashi held him at the waist.
"So what about Akeno?" Iruka asked curiously.
"What about him?" Kakashi asked back.
"Well Sakura-chan seems to think he'll be like you, so what did your father do when he found out you were…well… a genius" Iruka said seriously. He usually didn't tell Kakashi he was a genius, considering the man didn't need more of an ego boost than what he already had. Kakashi seemed to have tint to his cheeks before replying.
"Well techniqually my father thought I was a bit odd for a child, so he had Ibiki-san test me" Kakashi began.
"Ibiki!" Iruka said startled.
"Hey, hey. Ibiki may be Konoha's top torturer but he's actually very good with kids and a nice man… when you don't piss him off" Kakashi said chuckling. Iruka sweat dropped at that but let Kakashi continue.
"Anyway Ibiki told my father that my IQ was almost to 200. My father was stunned so to stay. Ibiki told him that if he started teaching me things, that it would only go up. So once I was actually able to walk and speak sentences a little better, he'd test my chakra control first before teaching me anything" Kakashi said, as if remembering everything.
Iruka just sweat dropped at him.
200… jeez… I bet his father was beyond stunned. He probably didn't know what to do with him Iruka thought silently Even worse I feel sort of bad for Sakura since she is almost in the same predicament as I am what with being with Shikamaru.
At least Kakashi seems to know what to do. I'll let him do this with our son. He'll train him and I'll take care of him so at least he's not totally awkward around people and when doing things Iruka thought happily.
"Hey Iruka, I was wondering what your IQ was" Kakashi said curiously.
"Where is yours at now?" Iruka questioned back.
"Well… I think the last one Ibiki took of me, when I rejoined Anbu for Lady Hokage, was still over 200 or something" Kakashi said, his eyes curving happily.
"Well mine isn't close to that so let's leave it" Iruka said, sweat dropping.
"But Rukaaaaa!" Kakashi whined. Iruka just mumbled under his breath at the man.
"What was that? I didn't catch it" Kakashi said quietly.
"Around 135 okay" Iruka said looking away from him.
"You're smart too Iruka-sensei!" Kakashi said happily.
"Glad you noticed now" Iruka said sarcastically. Kakashi just stuck his tongue out at him.
"Maybe if we average our IQ's together it'll be Akeno's IQ" Kakashi thought, thinking about it.
"I highly doubt it" Iruka said, his eye twitching.
Suddenly Kakashi and Iruka heard Akeno crying loudly and immediately ran into the house to the nursery.
Kakashi burst into the room, Iruka right behind him to see Akeno crying hard and standing up in his crib.
"Akeno!" Iruka said loudly.
Akeno pointed to the window. Kakashi immediately went to the window while Iruka picked up the sobbing child. He began to rock his body side to side, hushing the child quietly.
"Kakashi" Iruka said worriedly.
"I don't see anything" Kakashi said seriously. He even opened his Sharingan eye to double check. He walked back to where Iruka was, glancing out the window again before shuffling his son's hair who was quietly crying now.
Iruka looked worriedly at Kakashi. Akeno didn't cry unless something was wrong and it would have to be very wrong for him to cry as loudly as he did.
"I'll have Pakkun and the rest sniff outside okay?" Kakashi said seriously kissing Iruka on the cheek and Akeno on the head.
"Okay. Be careful" Iruka said quietly. Kakashi nodded once before leaving the room. Akeno looked up at Iruka who smiled gently at the boy.
"You okay Akeno sweetie?" Iruka said softly, playing with the child's hair.
"B-Bad m-man" Akeno said quietly making Iruka freeze.
Iruka looked out the window seeing Kakashi directing his pack in different areas. Iruka nervously watched from the window and all the dogs, especially Pakkun who was looking around the house.
"Odd…" Pakkun said quietly to himself. Pakkun walked into the house smelling someone else's scent for a moment walking towards the nursery.
Iruka saw the dogs come trotting back to Kakashi not smelling anything in their areas. Iruka suddenly had a spike of adrenaline go up his back. Something was behind him and it felt dangerous and mean. Iruka tightened his hold on Akeno moving his arms slightly so one hand was holding him so when he turned, that hand would be the one facing away from the danger.
Iruka turned fast holding a kunai in defense as a blade sparked against his kunai. The blade was longer than Iruka had expected slicing his arm. The man in a dark red cloak kicked Iruka in the stomach making him hit the wall. At the same time Iruka threw his kunai at the man making the kunai stick out from his leg. The man made a grunting sound.
Akeno was crying loudly sobbing hysterically. Pakkun immediately ran in seeing the man although his face was covered. He jumped at the man biting his arm before the man swung his arm, flinging the dog into Iruka's direction. Pakkun began barking loudly gaining the attention of everyone outside.
Kakashi was fast, his entire pack behind him. He climbed up the building, breaking through the nursery window before seeing red smoke in front of him. Kakashi turned quickly in the room before his heart stopped practically. Pakkun was whimpering at Iruka as the man was having difficulty standing up.
Akeno was crying hard still, afraid.
"Oh Kami" Kakashi's breathed out. He gently took Akeno from Iruka placing him into the crib quickly; the child was unhurt of course. Iruka protected him well.
"Ruka" Kakashi breathed out. Iruka gave him a half lifted smile before flinching. Kakashi lifted the man up by the arm dragging him to the bathroom.
"I want all of you to remain on guard in this room!" Kakashi said angrily. All the dogs nodded at him sitting in a circle around Akeno while Pakkun tried to comfort the child.
Kakashi gently sat Iruka down on the closed toilet seat before getting out the first aid kit. He carefully cut Iruka's shirt off of him, examining the deep gash he had on his arm. He applied disinfectant, wrapping it in gauze before looking at the ugly bruise he had on his stomach. Iruka actually was very gifted when it came to herbs, so he made an ointment that healed bruises in a few hours. A giant bruise would take at least a day to fully heal.
Kakashi examined Iruka's body intensely, looking for anything else, Iruka's blush slowly getting larger.
Kakashi suddenly hugged Iruka tightly, shaking. Iruka was beyond startled but knew he would have done the same thing if this had happened to Kakashi.
"You're…you're okay right?" Kakashi whispered out.
"Of course Kashi" Iruka whispered back smoothing (trying to smooth) Kakashi's hair down.
"You sure?" Kakashi just hung on to Iruka so tightly.
"Mhm" Iruka said smiling so apologetically at the man, kissing him on the crown of his head.
"I just realized koi" Kakashi whispered, looking almost scared at Iruka.
"What?" Iruka asked worriedly trying to relax the man, rubbing his forearms in soothing circles.
"I've promised you that I'd always come back to you right?" Kakashi said seriously.
"Yes" Iruka cocked his head in question at the man.
"You never said you would" Kakashi said hurt.
"Would what?" Iruka said, slightly confused.
"You never promised me!" Kakashi almost yelled. Iruka was completely taken aback in surprise. He never thought he needed to make such a promise to Kakashi but now that he thought about it, Iruka did get hurt a lot because he tried so hard protecting Kakashi from whatever he possibly could.
"I'm so sorry. I should have said this from the beginning" Iruka said with so much guilt in his voice Kakashi was just watching him at this point.
"I promise, I will always come back to you" Iruka said seriously looking desperately at Kakashi. Kakashi hugged him around the torso again tightly for a good ten minutes.
"Let's go check on Akeno, I'm sure he's worried sick" Iruka said tilting Kakashi's chin up. Kakashi slowly smiled up at Iruka nodding.
"Yeah, let's go do that" Kakashi whispered, standing up, kissing the man lovingly. Iruka knew just what to say to make Kakashi feel better. He knew Kakashi was powerful, strong and a genius, perverted and socially inept. Iruka was clever, caring and honest, short tempered and emotional.
But he loved him, more than anything. He needed to erase what doubts the other had. They were a family and they needed that family more than they realized.
Iruka was soon going to learn that even though he doubted himself sometimes, there would be a time when he truly knew, that he was more than a capable ninja. That time would come when he believed Kakashi and Akeno were in danger. He shouldn't have believed in what he saw.
Kakashi would soon learn aswell, that no one, not even him, knew the anger that would burst out if anything ever happened to Iruka or Akeno.
At least, not until two years later.
In case you didn't know:
Okaa-san: mother
Tou-san: father
Kaa-chan: mommy
Tou-chan: daddy
(Correct me if am am wrong with those)
Okay! So Akeno is adorable! Iruka and Kakashi are seriously beyond in love with each other now and forever. So I was going to do some more short stories of the other yaoi couples before we got down to the nitty gritty. When that 'nitty gritty' happens it's going to include utter chaos. But as we all know by now, I'm sure, I am a romantic so it will have a happy ending. Or will it? Mwahahahaha…...cliff hangers.
