Warning! Graphic scenes of gore/ violence. Just so you know…kind of dark… other warning from the first chapter applies here still as well.
"Come on Tou-san!" Akeno happily yelled as he ran out the door. Akeno was already enrolled in the ninja academy for almost ten months and Kakashi promised to drop him off there when Iruka wasn't working. Sakura somehow convinced Tsunade to let Iruka have at least an extra day off (besides the weekend) where he didn't have to work. Tsunade magically agreed so on Wednesdays he decided to just stay at home which were the days Kakashi walked Akeno to the school.
"Coming" Kakashi said with an aloof tone.
"I have to stop by the mission room but I'll be back soon okay?" Kakashi whispered to Iruka pulling down his mask to kiss Iruka gently.
"Okay" Iruka said smiling, kissing Kakashi back lovingly. Kakashi suddenly lifted Iruka up to spin him around making Iruka laugh.
"W-What are you doing Kashi!?" Iruka said happily through his laughter.
"I was just thinking of a really nice song I heard recently. It makes me want to twirl you!" Kakashi said happily making Iruka just shake his head at the man.
"Then how about we dance on the deck later tonight after dinner" Iruka said quietly, smiling at the man.
"It's a promise… and a date!" Kakashi said happily kissing Iruka again.
"Go before you make Akeno late!" Iruka said slapping his arm.
"What's wrong with being late?" Kakashi said pouting.
"I will not have our son have the 'timely' schedule you keep" Iruka said in a 'matter of fact' sort of way. Kakashi chuckled at him before being kissed on the cheek by Iruka and then shoved out the front door.
Kakashi caught up to a distracted Akeno who was following around an interesting looking insect.
"Akeno" Kakashi said sternly getting the boy to immediately snap his attention to his father, running up to him quickly.
"Would you like to train a little on our way to the school?" Kakashi said in a bored tone.
"Okay!" Akeno said excitedly making Kakashi smile gently at the boy (his mask is back up at this point but Akeno can see through it almost fully by now).
Last month was entirely on Akeno working on his aim with his kunai. He wasn't bad if he wasn't moving, but usually in a real battle, the opponent is moving. Kakashi decided he would switch between three different things first. Aim, chakra control, and strategy. His son was very good with strategy and he would drop by Shikamaru and Sakura's to play shogi with Shikamaru (since he loved his aunt and uncle a lot). He also liked to read to their daughter who seemed to happily listen to him. Kakashi would let Akeno stay there for an hour practicing and reading, before going back home.
"Ready Akeno?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"Hai!" Akeno said determinedly. Both were running fast through the village using chakra in their feet. Akeno was so happy with the jutsu considering he was the best at 'hide and seek' as well as tag. The only thing that upset Akeno though was that after a while, the other kids wouldn't play with him considering they couldn't catch him. He told his Okaa-san who told him that the other kids just weren't determined to continue when they lost so much. He told him about Gai and Kakashi having their 'competitions' and that definitely made Akeno feel better.
"I've almost got you!" Akeno said happily reaching for his father's pant leg. Akeno was moving pretty fast for a five year old (even though Kakashi was going pretty slow). Kakashi moved his leg out of the way making Akeno miss and hit the ground.
"Akeno!" Kakashi said, trying to keep the worry out of his voice. Akeno coughed slightly before brushing himself off.
"I almost had you" Akeno said pouting cutely up at his father.
"You'll have to be faster to catch me" Kakashi said ruffling his hair. They were surprisingly a few feet away from the entrance of the ninja academy Akeno waving goodbye to his father.
"I'll pick you up at two" Kakashi said bored. He 'poof-ed' off to the mission room before being called by Shizune that Tsunade needed to see him. It was around noon by now with Kakashi just hanging around his friends for a little.
"What… is going on?" Kakashi said confused once walking in to the Hokage office to see most of Anbu in there.
"A man in a red cloak was spotted on the East side of the village" Tsunade said seriously. Kakashi stiffened immediately worrying about Akeno and Iruka.
"At the same time, one was spotted on the North side of the village" Tsunade said crossing her arms.
"There is more than one?" Kakashi said confused.
"We believe so but they could just as easily be clones. The thing is, why are they still here?" Shikamaru spoke up to the crowd.
"Exactly. I don't like it" Tsunade said slightly annoyed.
"Agreed" everyone chorused in the room.
"I need to go" Kakashi said seriously, turning to leave.
"I'm coming with you" Naruto shouted out stepping towards him.
"Me as well" Shikamaru said stepping next to him.
"Fine, fine" Tsunade said standing up, "I want at least a quarter of you to scout the village. The rest of you be on guard."
All of them bowed to Tsunade before leaving the office quickly. Kakashi immediately stopped by the school first since it was on their way to his house.
Good thing it was recess, right?
20 minutes earlier
They just got released to recess. Akeno was walking by himself towards the cover of the trees wanting to read the book Iruka gave him that was really interesting so far. A flash of red appeared in the corner of his eye. Akeno immediately took a step back when he looked in the direction behind the school. He saw someone in a red cloak, hooded, looking straight at him. The person lifted the cloak slightly showing a blade on his hip before dragging his finger across his throat indicating death. Akeno gasped before dropping the book he was so excited to read, running through the front area of the school headed to his house fast.
He was desperately worried about his Okaa-san. He was able to make it there in ten minutes pumping chakra into his legs.
"Okaa-san!" Akeno yelled loudly. Iruka immediately froze running to the living room, seeing Akeno out of breathe.
"Akeno! You're supposed to be in school!" Iruka said slightly angry.
"I saw the bad man! I thought he was going to hurt you!" Akeno said, tears starting to form. Iruka gasped slightly before picking Akeno up, holding him tightly. Iruka quickly walked Akeno to the back deck heading to the tall grasses in the back of the house. At least there he wouldn't be trapped in the house and Akeno could run to safety if he needed to. Iruka set Akeno down watching the boy walk a few feet ahead of him looking around.
As if in slow motion, Iruka saw a very thin blade thrown at Akeno. Iruka lunged for his son protecting the boy with his body as the blade stabbed through his shoulder.
"Kaa-chan!" Akeno cried out seeing Iruka hovering over him, his breathing labored.
"You're fast for an academy teacher" A man in a red cloak said snidely to Iruka.
"Stay the hell away from my family" Iruka said coldly standing up.
"Make me" The man said brutally, laughing manically. Iruka literally growled making the man stiffen slightly. In a blur of motion the man attacked Iruka again with a katana, but Iruka met his blade with a kunai, making the metal against metal create sparks. Iruka shoved the man away picking Akeno up fast and throwing explosive tags at the man. A smoke screen was there for a moment allowing Iruka a few seconds to get his son away from the fight.
"Akeno, do something for Kaa-chan" Iruka said putting his hands on the sides of his child's face.
"Run for me. Run and hide. Like when you play 'hide and seek' with Tou-chan" Iruka said. Akeno started to cry shaking his head stubbornly.
"I don't want to leave my Kaa-chan!" Akeno whispered tightly.
"Please sweetie, Kaa-chan doesn't want you hurt. It's the last thing I'd ever want" Iruka said honestly to the boy. Akeno sniffled nodding.
"I'll rip that kid to pieces" the man in the red cloak yelled throwing kunai at them. Iruka lifted Akeno up quickly, using his kunai to defend himself against the weapons.
Suddenly the man was behind Iruka and Iruka was not fast enough. The man cut Akeno slightly on the arm, but Iruka moved his arm up to protect the child so he got the brute force of the attack. Akeno yelled in surprise when he was dropped by Iruka but threw the one real kunai Kakashi gave him at the man; it hit him in the leg but it didn't stop the man's attack.
"How dare you touch my baby!" Iruka yelled at him attacking the man with fury. In fact enough fury that he actually killed the man in the red cloak earning himself a few more cuts, but a successful victory. That is until two more men in red cloaks were running towards Iruka fast.
"Akeno!" Iruka yelled at him. Akeno ran from Iruka in tears, running into the forest. A few seconds later a man in a red cloak was in front of Akeno nicking the boy slight on the far left of his chin dragging it down till it went straight across the boys throat. The only reason why that didn't kill Akeno immediately was Akeno moved instantly back so the weapon didn't slice far enough to behead him. Akeno hit the ground hard, his arm being broken immediately from the man stepping on it. Akeno couldn't even scream out, he was in far too state of shock.
Without any sound being made by Akeno, the man automatically thought the child was dead so left to go fight with the others. Akeno started dragging himself across the ground before hiding underneath a slightly open space underneath a tree. It took some wriggling, but he made it under the tree. He was freezing and he was in so much pain he could hardly stand it.
Please save Kaa-chan, daddy was the last thought Akeno had, before passing out.
Back at the school
"Have you children seen Hatake, Akeno?" Naruto said to the group of children. All of them shook their heads at Naruto running off. Kakashi rubbed the back of his head nervously slowly glancing around the playground. He lifted his eyebrow noticing a book on the ground. Kakashi slouched over to the book before his breathe gasped slightly.
It was 'The Dragon' book that was similar to the story line in the children's book, but this one was an upper level read and had very few pictures.
"Akeno" Kakashi ground out sternly, slightly loud, "come here immediately" Kakashi finished looking around the playground. All the children were nervously looking around too considering Kakashi was a famous ninja and he sounded angry so they were obviously scared. Kakashi immediately summoned his pack (getting ooh's and awe's from the children).
"Find Akeno!" Kakashi said angrily. The dog's immediately started sniffing before Akino started barking furiously running back to Kakashi.
"I smelled that strange smell from before!" Akino said with worry.
"Akeno's scent leads out of the school!" Pakkun yelled by the entrance.
"Follow it!" Kakashi said furiously, his pack and Naruto and Shikamaru running fast behind him.
"It leads to the house!" Pakkun said loudly. All of them were moving fast up the road seeing the house come into view.
"Iruka!" Was yelled by all of them. They were all headed to the front door before Akino quickly swerved to the left.
"To the back!" Akino yelled out, all of them following him.
Two minutes before they reach the house
Iruka was slowly losing his vision. He was on the ground, four other bodies around him, dead. The last four were killed with Iruka's incredible strategy to trap each one in his Barrier Method formation. Iruka wasn't doing well though. He had a stab wound in his right shoulder, left lung, to the left of his stomach, and in the thigh. He had a cut on his arm and two on his leg. If he didn't die from the wounds he was going to die from the blood loss. His vision was going dark and he wished from the bottom of his heart to see Kakashi one last time.
Kakashi… Akeno… are you safe? I love you both so very much Iruka thought morbidly, his eyes closing slowly, his breathing shuttering to shallow.
Kakashi and the rest making it to the back of the house.
Kakashi could feel his heart pounding against his chest before the scene in front of him, froze him in his tracks. Kakashi fell on to his knees next to Iruka's body.
The scene was awful. Four bodies ripped to shreds around Iruka, the grass becoming bloodied.
"Iru-ka" Kakashi choked out, holding the man's body to his tightly. Tears left Kakashi, wetting Iruka's cold shoulder, the man started shaking violently.
"IRUKA!" Kakashi screamed at the top of his lungs.
Please Kami no! Not my Iruka, please not my Iruka Kakashi thought hysterically.
"I was supposed to protect you… you weren't supposed to leave me…" Kakashi started shaking violently, tears leaving him at a frightening pace.
Naruto and Shikamaru behind him were crying silently looking at the bloodied ground below them. Kakashi's pack encircled the two, all of them howling and whining burdened at the loss of the kindest man in the world.
"Kakashi" Sakura said gently placing her hand on the man's shoulder, Anbu running towards the scene. Kakashi wobbly stood up, walking blindly towards the forest. He rested his hand on a tree, placing his head into the other hand. Sakura had tears leaving her leaning down to see if Iruka had a pulse.
They all watched Sakura, but she made no move to heal the man, her hand remaining on Iruka's neck. They all looked at the ground, mourning the loss of their friend.
Please Kami, let there be a pulse Sakura begged, Sakura closing her eyes tightly, more tears escaping her.
Thump.
Sakura peeked open her eyes slightly looking at the man.
Thump.
Sakura's eyes opened wider. He had a pulse! It was dangerously low to death, but there was a pulse! Sakura immediately started healing the man of the wound in his lung needing him to gain as much oxygen as possible. Everyone just thought she was healing the body so he could be respectfully seen. Sakura was bent to her work in anger.
"DIE!" Sakura's head snapped to above her, seeing a red cloaked and hooded man bringing a katana down on her.
"No you don't!" Shikamaru yelled angrily, his own blade meeting the man's, expertly chopping his hand off before stabbing it through his chest.
"Sh-Shika" Sakura said stunned only to receive a smirk from the man.
"Where's Akeno?" Sakura whispered out getting the attention of everyone.
"Boss I smell Akeno-chan through the forest!" Pakkun said loudly, running up to Kakashi. Kakashi didn't even move.
"Kakashi! Save your child at least!" Sakura yelled at him from across the field. Kakashi's eyes widened before following Pakkun through the forest with Anbu following him. Pakkun and Akino started sniffing around the one area seeing as how Akeno didn't get past that point.
"He's under here!" Pakkun yelled out. Kakashi immediately shoved his hand under the tree but wasn't able to reach him.
"God damn it!" Kakashi yelled out in aggravation before expertly lifting the giant tree enough to push it over. Kakashi stopped immediately seeing his son on the ground covered in blood and his arm obviously broken. Kakashi fell to his knees, his head in his hands. Kakashi just shook his head, shaking. All the Anbu were beyond anger, tears leaving them bitterly. Kakashi lost them both. He lost his new family. That was it. He had nothing anymore.
Kakashi's breathing turned heavy. He lifted his son in his arms, his eyes hidden from view. The others looked away from Sakura seeing a head of silver headed towards them. They all audibly gasped seeing a smaller head of silver tainted with red. Kakashi gently laid the child down next to Iruka. He looked at them both his breathing picking up speed from anger, frustration, fury, depression, anguish, death.
Kakashi's senses were increased one hundred fold his hands clenched into fists. That's when he smelled it. The smell that meant there were more. Kakashi immediately ran in the direction across the field, a man in red attacking him. Kakashi ripped him to pieces in seconds running into the forest. There were ten more men and he was going to slaughter them all if it was the last thing he ever did.
Hell hath no fury like Hatake Kakashi when he lost everyone he loved. Not one of the ten men got one of their jutsu's in. Kakashi took them out, each death more brutal than the last. The last man stood before him, the partner of the man who tried to kill Iruka before. Kakashi immediately attached him to a tree slowly torturing him until the man was as cold as the dirt he was about to fall on to.
That is when Kakashi yelled. He yelled until his throat was soar, until he fell to his knees in exhaustion. Kakashi just punched and punched the ground beneath him never stopping. Not when his hands screamed for him to stop. Not when all of Anbu surrounded him not sure what to do. They all wanted revenge for the men that hurt Iruka and their child so badly. The men that took away Kakashi's family. The family he deserved so badly. The love he deserved to have. The people he deserved to have.
Kakashi was suddenly hugged by a shaking Naruto who told him he had to get up, even though the tears leaving him were filled with so much pain. Kakashi stood up shakily, leaning all of his body weight on the blonde. Tenzu took Kakashi's other arm, wrapping it around his shoulder. Tenzu and Naruto walked Kakashi back to the field, Sakura, Iruka, and Akeno now gone. Anbu were hurriedly getting rid of the bodies, even though they would all be stained into the copy-nin's brain forever.
Naruto and Tenzu set Kakashi onto the couch, most of Anbu in the house as well needing each other's company. They didn't want to leave Kakashi by himself; not now.
"I'll be back" Naruto whispered quietly to the group before disappearing in a 'puff' of smoke.
"Sasuke" Naruto whispered in the house hearing wood against wood.
He's in the rocking chair Naruto started walking towards the nursery. When he opened the door, he didn't realize he was still crying silently.
"Naruto, I actually got them to sleep at the same –" Sasuke started to whisper, looking up from the children's book before gasping.
"Naruto!?" Sasuke yelled/whispered. He ran to the man worriedly having Naruto walk back into the living room.
"Naruto?" Sasuke said quietly, sitting the blonde on the couch, sitting next to him.
"I-Iruka!" Naruto burst out hugging Sasuke tightly who was still confused.
"Those men came back. They killed him. They killed Akeno" Naruto started sobbing. Sasuke was frozen in shock before tears started leaving him as well.
"I wanted or kids to be friends, I wanted-" Naruto couldn't even finish his sentence. He lost the one person who was the closest thing he would call his foster father. Sasuke couldn't even say anything to comfort the man only to hold him tighter.
"W-What about… Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke whispered out looking into Naruto's dull blue eyes.
"He lost control. He slaughtered all of them. He's broken" Naruto whispered out the last part breathing heavily. Sasuke nodded into his shoulder before one of their babies started to cry softly. Sasuke wiped the still falling tears, hurriedly walking to the nursery.
"Naruto" Sasuke whispered down the hall. Naruto looked up at him depressed and upset.
"Comfort him" Sasuke said seriously, beyond upset himself. Naruto nodded once, disappearing in a 'puff' of smoke.
Naruto was back in the living room seeing a few Anbu splayed throughout the house along with Kakashi's pack. Naruto didn't know what to do at all to comfort Kakashi before an idea struck him. He walked quietly back to the nursery seeing the white wolf and dolphin Akeno was hardly without. He took both plushies back, seeing Kakashi moved to lying on his side on the couch staring absent mindedly at the wall. Naruto sat down on the floor in front of him, lifting each plushy up to Kakashi, setting them next to his hands. Kakashi looked at the plushies for a moment, before holding them tightly to himself.
Naruto leaned against the couch just staring at the ceiling.
Sakura, however, was busy as hell trying to get both people back away from severely critical.
"Give Hatake, Iruka 30 cc's of morphine!"
"Give Hatake, Akeno 15 cc's of morphine!"
"I wanted that wound bandaged twenty minutes ago!"
"Make sure there aren't any blood clots in that child's throat!"
"Where are my supplies!?"
"Hatake, Iruka is ready for surgery! Get the Hokage immediately to take care of it!"
"I'll handle the rest of Hatake, Akeno's injuries until she gets here then I will assist her!"
"Once I go to the E.R., finish the healing process for Hatake, Akeno!"
"Is this all clear!?" Sakura yelled loudly getting a 'yes ma'am!' from the group of medic nin's around the two people. Tsunade was running down the hall towards the E.R., bursting through the door, demanding they start immediately, Sakura right behind her.
Both set to work on Iruka for several hours dragging them far along into the night.
"Tsunade-sama, I think I'll make an IV drip for Iruka out of 'tea' that I can make from their plants" Sakura said seriously. Tsunade nodded at her having the nurses push Iruka to the main room for patients. Akeno was in a different hall for critical children. Sakura stopped by his room checking on his injuries.
The small nick on his chin would heal leaving a very light scar along with the one on his neck she hoped. His arm was in a cast along with a sling to keep it from moving even just a little. Akeno was definitely out cold but he wasn't in critical condition anymore; he wasn't that healthy either though. Sakura sighed unsteadily. Iruka was damaged badly and had some heavy bandages to prove it. He was in critical condition still but Tsunade and her made sure Iruka wasn't in severe critical condition anymore.
Sakura blinked suddenly realizing she had been working through the night and most of the day to heal Iruka from his injuries. If she had to guess it was the late afternoon by now and the sky was pretty cloudy today. Akeno suddenly flinched groaning in pain making Sakura add one more milliliter to his dropper which seemed to calm him down again.
"Better go get Kakashi" Sakura breathed out considering she had to get their plants as well.
Sakura 'poof-ed' to the front of their house, gently tapping on the door. An Anbu opened the door slightly before fully opening the door seeing Sakura. Shikamaru walked up to her quickly, hugging her tightly. Sakura hugged him back just as tightly, before kissing him gently on the lips.
"You look exhausted" Shikamaru whispered quietly to her.
"So do you" Sakura said quietly walking towards Kakashi (technically towards their plants considering they were in front of Kakashi who was still lying on the couch). Sakura lifted up both of their plant pots which had dark green vines that were dragging on the floor; they were so long.
"Kakashi-sensei" Sakura whispered out to the man gently. Kakashi made no move as Sakura tried to talk to him; Sakura just sighed understanding completely shifting the plants in her hands.
"Ahem. If I do say so myself, I am quite clever" Sakura said in a 'matter of fact' sort of manner which actually made all the men in the room lift their eyebrow at her (except Kakashi). Kakashi was actually just sitting on the couch again holding the dolphin and white dog plushy to himself.
"Well I suppose Kakashi-sensei doesn't want to move" Sakura said drolly making all the men really question what she was doing.
"Are you asking for a death wish!?" Tenzu whispered worriedly at her.
"I don't know. I just thought Kakashi-sensei would want to see Akeno-kun who is absolutely worried about him" Sakura said sighing out turning to walk out the door.
"Nani!?" Was yelled from everyone in the room.
"Of course I'm sure Iruka will have an angry talk with you for ignoring your son" Sakura said sighing walking out the door before 'poof-ing' to the hospital.
"NANI!" Was yelled from everyone and Kakashi was standing up at this point. Kakashi didn't know what compelled him to believe the girl, but he 'poof-ed' to the hospital blocking Sakura off from down the hall. The look in his coal eye said it all. Sakura grabbed his sleeve gently tugging him down the hall. Kakashi was dragging his feet, his heart was beating dully in his chest, not wanting to give himself false hope. For all he knew Sakura was talking about Kakashi saying goodbye to them.
Kakashi barely realized that they were in the children's ward for critical patients. Both stood in front of a door, Sakura facing him (she placed their plants on a cart earlier that was being brought to Tsunade immediately).
"Kakashi-sensei, there is one thing I want to say" Sakura said gently brushing the wrinkles out of Kakashi's shirt.
"I know you've been hurt a lot just to obtain a family and rightfully, you never deserved that. But you've been so strong, right from the beginning. Don't think everyone wouldn't help you to save your family or vice versa because honestly, everyone would. We are all family and we all need each other. Some more than others, but we're a family and I hope you aren't sad anymore because everything is fine right now, so you should be fine too" Sakura said quietly, looking up at him with worry. Kakashi gave a slight nod at the girl, touched by her speech, but he was still heart broken.
Kakashi breathed in, before walking into the room with his eyes closed. He opened them slowly, his breathe hitching running over to his son.
"Akeno-kun?" Kakashi whispered out, placing his hand gently on the boy's chest, feeling a heartbeat.
"Oh Kami, thank you!" Kakashi started shaking, hugging Akeno gently. He started kissing the boy all over his head whispering what a good boy he was and he was a wonderful son and so many kind things.
Kakashi pulled up a chair, sitting next to the boy for about an hour before Naruto walked in quietly. Naruto sighed in relief, seeing the boy and that he was alive.
"Yo" Kakashi said quietly.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei" Naruto whispered out, "I brought this from the school. Thought you might want it since Akeno-kun probably would still like to read it."
Naruto handed the man 'The Dragon' book patting Akeno gently on the head, before leaving to tell Sasuke the good news.
Kakashi would wait to read the book until tomorrow because today was too exhausting. He fell asleep in the chair until he woke up the next morning which was at around eight.
"Don't worry, Tou-chan is up" Kakashi yawned, kissing Akeno on the head before slouching to the cafeteria for a small snack. He wasn't really hungry but he didn't want to look bad for his son. Kakashi quickly walked back to Akeno's hospital room, his heart beating a little faster when he was away for too long from him. Kakashi sighed when seeing Akeno was still fine on the bed, sitting next to the boy again. Kakashi shuffled the child's hair, kissing him on the forehead
"Let's see where you started reading" Kakashi said quietly, flipping through the book.
"Only to page thirty? I thought you were a pretty fast reader kiddo" Kakashi said clearing his throat, starting to read to the sleeping boy. Kakashi was reading in his 'author voice' getting to about page 100 in an hour.
"T-Tou-chan" Akeno squeaked out trying to flutter his eyes open.
"I'm here Akachan" Kakashi stood up immediately, standing above the boy.
"D-Daddy" Akeno whispered out trying to get the blurriness to disappear.
"Can you see me?" Kakashi asked worriedly. Akeno shook his head 'no' making Kakashi stiffen.
"I…hurt" Akeno squeaked out, coughing.
"It'll be okay. I'll get your aunt Sakura to make you feel better okay?" Kakashi said kindly. Akeno nodded his head trying to move but it seemed to make him flinch.
"Don't move son" Kakashi said sternly getting a slight head nod from the boy. Kakashi pressed the button on the wall in order to call Sakura into the room. Kakashi was just looking down at his sleepy son, shuffling his hair every now and then until Sakura came in.
"Oh good you're awake" Sakura said relieved. She quickly went from his head to his toes, healing him here and there to make some of the pain go away. Sakura hurriedly left while Kakashi sat down in the chair again.
"Tou-chan" Akeno whispered out.
"Hm?" Kakashi said, trying to find the page he left off of.
"Is Kaa-chan okay?" Akeno asked worriedly. Kakashi stiffened. He would have never wanted to admit it, but he was afraid to ask. Afraid of the answer he would be given. But he needed to ask Sakura; he needed to see Iruka again before his heart turned cold.
"Your aunt is looking over him" Kakashi said vaguely to the boy, not knowing what the actual answer should have been.
"Can I wear a mask like you?" Akeno asked curiously, "I want to be like daddy."
Kakashi was completely touched and started to fumble with the pages of the book.
"S-Sure. But your Okaa-san doesn't want you wearing it around the house. He loves seeing your face" Kakashi said quietly. Akeno nodded to his father, smiling slightly.
"What happens to the dragon once he finds the cave?" Akeno asked curiously.
"Let's find out" Kakashi said, getting back into his 'author tone.' Kakashi kept reading until Akeno fell asleep again before standing up, leaving the boy just for a moment. He went to the reception desk asking for Hatake, Iruka. They told him the room but that no one was allowed in. Of course you should never get in the way of Hatake, Kakashi needing to be with Iruka.
Kakashi was hurriedly slouching down the hall to the critical patient's hall, breathing in a long deep and needed breathe before walking in. His eyes widened dramatically at the state Iruka was in. His heart beat was in critical condition, he was heavily bandaged, and he looked like he was in a lot of pain.
"Oh, koi" Kakashi whispered out, holding the sides of Iruka's face to gently kiss him on the lips (his face seemed to be the only thing that didn't sustain damage).
"I'm so sorry" Kakashi whispered out, trying with all his might not to hold the man crushingly against him needing comfort so badly from Iruka.
"I hope you can forgive me" Kakashi whispered out, his heart beating painfully against his chest.
"I love you so much" Kakashi kissed Iruka again, smoothing out his untamed hair.
"Akeno-kun is alive koi, you were so brave and so strong" Kakashi whispered quietly caressing the man's cheek sweetly.
"Hatake, Kakashi you get off that bed. His heart just got out of critical condition" Sakura said slightly angry. Kakashi looked at her sadly, sighing, before kissing Iruka once more leaving.
Kakashi walked back to Akeno's room somewhat quickly, before hearing whimpers behind the door.
"Akeno!?" Kakashi said worriedly before seeing his son squirming in his sheets.
"Akeno" Kakashi said gently, shaking the boy.
"T-Tou-san" Akeno said groggily.
"It was aweful!" Akeno said, tearing up, grabbing on to his father's sleeve.
"It's okay" Kakashi said quietly, sitting on the bed with the boy. He carefully moved around the wires, resting the boy on his lap while he was against the back board.
"B-But y-you and K-Kaa-chan w-were gone!" Akeno cried out.
"I'm right here. Your Okaa-san is down the hall sleeping. It was just a bad dream okay? Besides, me and your Okaa-san will do everything to keep you safe" Kakashi said gently, resting his cheek onto the boy's head.
Akeno sniffled before nodding, cuddling into Kakashi's chest, yawning.
"Go back to sleep or your aunt will be mad" Kakashi said quietly, smiling into his child's hair.
Akeno curved his neck to look at his father with worry.
"I'll be right here" Kakashi said gently. Akeno nodded, slowly falling asleep, Kakashi right behind him.
"Tou-san" Akeno said softly the next morning poking his father in the cheek.
"Hn?" Kakashi groggily started noticing his son looking up at him curiously.
"You hungry?" Kakashi said yawning. Akeno nodded his head as his father slowly got up from his bed only to have Akeno hang on to him.
"You can't come with me son. Sakura-chan will kill me" Kakashi said gently only to have Akeno pout up at him, Iruka's pout.
"Please" Akeno whispered up at him cutely. Kakashi quickly peeked out of the door looking up and down the hall. He carefully undid the two wires going into Akeno before lifting his son up in his arms resting the child on his hip.
Kakashi walked to the cafeteria, both of them picking things they wanted to eat. Kakashi kept Akeno in his lap as both of them ate together (Kakashi picked a seat in the corner so no one could see his face).
"Tou-san" Akeno said after eating the food.
"Hm?" Kakashi said quietly, resting his head onto his son's head.
"Could we see Kaa-chan?" Akeno said gently. Kakashi stiffened slightly before nodding. Kakashi was walking down the critical patients hallway, Akeno in his arms, standing in front of Iruka's door.
"Don't touch anything okay?" Kakashi said seriously, Akeno nodding. Kakashi opened the door, both of them becoming immediately sad at Iruka's state still.
"Kaa-chan" Akeno said sadly, sniffling. Kakashi bent over slightly so Akeno could touch Iruka's face gently.
"We need to go before your aunt sees that you're missing okay?" Kakashi said to Akeno who nodded. Kakashi bent down to kiss Iruka on the forehead, before leaving to Akeno's room again.
"Tou-san" Akeno said gently, halfway down the hall.
"Hm?" Kakashi said quietly, his heart still saddened.
"I want to be like you" Akeno said quietly. Kakashi stiffened remembering his son had something like that before.
"Tou-san is the best. I want to be strong like Tou-san so I can protect Kaa-chan too. Kaa-chan stays alive for Tou-san, and I want that too" Akeno said quietly. Kakashi was very touched by his son, feeling his heart swell.
"If that is what Akeno-kun wants, then Tou-san will give it to him" Kakashi said gently, looking down at his child. Akeno smiled up at him slowly falling asleep in his arms. Kakashi finally made it back to his room, re-wiring the boy back into his IV and heart monitor.
Kakashi suddenly got a very good idea. He walked out of the hospital and to the store where he got most of his ninja gear and where his father got him his own mask.
"Why Hatake-san, it has been a while" A very old man said happily.
"It has" Kakashi said, nodding to the man.
"What can I do ya' for?" the old man asked curiously.
"I would like to buy a mask for my son" Kakashi said, his heart beating a little faster when he said those words.
"Yes I heard you had a child recently. Like father like son I see! Third generation" The old man said happily. Kakashi coughed slightly in embarrassment.
"Well we have masks in all kinds of colors. Would you like black or grey?" The old man asked kindly. Kakashi started with a grey mask when his father was still alive. When his father passed away, he changed his mask to black.
"I'd like a white mask" Kakashi said to the old man.
"I think I have something" the old man said walking into the back room. Most ninja didn't get white considering it showed too much. The old man walked out, opening a flat black box. Inside there was a white mask, a centimeter silk red strip on the top part of it. So when Akeno put on the mask like Kakashi's, the silk red strip went horizontally across the bridge of his nose.
"It's perfect" Kakashi said, paying for the mask. Kakashi hoped the red on the mask would remind Akeno why he was going to be like his father. So that if people like the men in the red cloaks ever attacked their family again, he would be strong enough to help protect Iruka along with Kakashi.
Kakashi returned back to the hospital, sleeping in the chair next to Akeno's bed again, waiting for the next morning.
Akeno got out of the hospital in a month, his arm still in a sling though.
"Tou-san?" Akeno asked quietly. Kakashi came to pick Akeno up from the school, Iruka still in the hospital. Kakashi was trying not to seem completely depressed to Akeno since Iruka hadn't even wake up yet.
"Hm?" Kakashi said curiously. Akeno could already tell that his father was depressed about the situation and wished from the bottom of his heart that his Okaa-san was going to be okay.
"Where is the book Kaa-chan gave me?" Akeno asked curiously.
Kakashi did a quick jutsu popping the book into his hands, handing it to Akeno. Akeno quickly looked through the book before frowning.
"Something wrong?" Kakashi said, lifting his eyebrow in question.
"My paper was in here" Akeno said frowning.
"What paper?" Kakashi asked curiously. Akeno looked up at him nervously not saying anything only making Kakashi all the more curious.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Kakashi and Akeno turned seeing Naruto running towards them.
"Naruto-kun" Kakashi and Akeno waved at the man.
"I forgot to give this to you" Naruto said, handing Kakashi a piece of paper.
"Wow Akeno-outouto! You look like Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said amazed at the child making Akeno blush.
"I got to get back to Sasuke who said he saw you guys from the supermarket" Naruto said running back down the street.
"And congratulations!" Naruto yelled at them. Kakashi just looked confused while Akeno was just lightly blushing. That was the piece of paper he was looking for.
Dear parents of Hatake, Akeno,
We would like to inform you that your child appears to have excelled at all the curriculum the Academy has to offer. Your child's teacher has informed the Fifth Hokage of the successes your child has shown and sees fit that your child participates in the chunnin exam. If you agree to these terms, both parents must sign the bottom of this sheet. Once the sheet is signed, an appointment sheet will be given to sign your child up for the chunnin exam. Congratulations to the parents of Hatake, Akeno.
The Head of Office
Kakashi was reading the piece of paper out loud before looking down at his son proudly. Akeno was just looking nervously up at his father hoping it was a good thing.
"Akeno!" Kakashi yelled happily lifting his son up into the air making Akeno laugh.
"Did Akeno do good Tou-chan?" Akeno asked worriedly.
"You are exactly like tou-san when I graduated from the academy" Kakashi said proudly to his son.
"Yay! I'm like daddy!" Akeno said happily making Kakashi smile.
Both started walking back to the house again before Akeno stopped walking, looking down at the ground sadly.
"Akeno? What's wrong?" Kakashi asked slightly worried, kneeling down to his son.
"I wish Kaa-san was here" Akeno whispered out looking sadly at Kakashi, "then he could be happy like Tou-san."
Kakashi visibly frowned wishing Iruka was with them too. He was still in the hospital, and it was almost the two month mark of Iruka not waking up.
"Me too" Kakashi said, ruffling Akeno's hair.
"You know," Kakashi started, sitting on the ground having Akeno match him. They were on the quiet road that led to their house.
"I was going to give this to you when we got home, but I feel like giving it now" Kakashi said only making Akeno look at him curiously.
Kakashi took out the black box, handing it to the excited boy.
"But it's not Akeno's birthday" Akeno said cutely.
"I know that kid! But I like to spoil you" Kakashi said winking at him making Akeno laugh cutely. Kakashi secretly spoiled Akeno when Iruka wasn't looking but somehow Iruka would always figure it out. Like ice cream before dinner, or toys, or real weapons which Iruka would scold both of them about later.
Akeno opened the box before shock and then pure enjoyment was on his face.
"Tou-chan!" Akeno yelled happily diving to give his father a hug.
Kakashi hugged him tightly before standing up. Akeno put on the mask immediately, looking up at his father when he was done. Kakashi's eyes softened, ruffling the boy's hair.
"Tou-chan?" Akeno said softly.
"No worries, I'll get you a ninja outfit too!" Kakashi said happily making Akeno laugh. He lifted up his arms wanting to be held, which Kakashi was glad to do.
"Let's get some food in you okay?" Kakashi said, walking into the house. Both people were eating their lunch while Kakashi was telling Akeno stories of cool fights he was in.
"Kakashi-sensei" Sakura said in the kitchen doorway making Akeno snap his head to the doorway before running to the woman happily.
"Why you look just like him Akeno-kun!" Sakura said amazed making Akeno give his father's famous crescent eye curve with both of his eyes.
"What are you doing here Sakura-chan?" Kakashi asked trying to keep the worry out of his voice for Akeno.
"Iruka actually woke up for a few minutes. I think he'll wake up later if you guys want to go visit him. I also got you guys these passes so you could stay in the hospital past visitor visiting time" Sakura said, handing them the passes.
Kakashi immediately picked up Akeno, 'poof-ing' them to the hospital and Kakashi jogging down the critical patients hallway till he got to Iruka's room. Akeno and Kakashi looked at each other nervously before walking in. Both became saddened again seeing Iruka still sleeping, but Kakashi did notice that his heart monitor had a much healthier heart beat on it. Akeno turned in his father's arm so he was hugging Kakashi around the neck, sniffling. Kakashi smoothed down his son's hair, trying to comfort him.
"Sakura-chan did say he woke up right?" Kakashi said quietly to his son making Akeno look up at him nodding.
"Then your Okaa-san is strong enough to wake up again don't you think?" Kakashi said gently making Akeno nod again hugging the man around the neck.
A few more days passed and Kakashi would always visit Iruka while Akeno was in school. Kakashi was resting his head on Iruka's bedside, his heart constricting so painfully in his chest.
My body hurts… what the hell Iruka thought groggily, peeking open his eyes a little seeing a head of white to his side. Iruka smiled softly wishing he wasn't in so much pain and wishing he wasn't so tired.
Iruka wasn't going to close his eyes again though. He desperately, more than desperately, needed to see Kakashi. To see that he was really there and that he was okay.
"Kakashi… my love… my koi" Iruka whispered out gruffly, his throat very dry. Kakashi bolted straight around looking at Iruka with shock and disbelief. Iruka was trying to keep his eyes open but was still able to give a small smile to the man. Kakashi hugged Iruka tightly, kissing him everywhere.
"Oh Kami Ruka" kiss "my koi" kiss "you don't know" kiss "how my heart" kiss "how my mind" kiss "how our son" kiss "has dealt with this" Kakashi kept saying, his voice cracking as he kept kissing and kissing him. Iruka was slowly waking up now that Kakashi was with him. Kakashi was lying next to him just holding on to the man like a rare and lost treasure.
"S-Sorry" Iruka said sadly only to have his mouth attacked lovingly by the man.
"I've hurt you both haven't I?" Iruka said heartbrokenly only to have Kakashi shake his head stubbornly at the man.
"You've done nothing wrong. You saved our son. I did nothing" Kakashi said upset.
"You're wrong" Iruka said suddenly making Kakashi look at him in confusion.
"You saved me from the very beginning. If you hadn't even saved me when I was carrying Akeno, then we both would have died, right? If you hadn't finished off those men, like Sakura told me you did in the brief moment I was awake last time, they'd still try and kill us, right?" Iruka said gently. He so badly wanted to make Kakashi feel better.
"Yes, but" Kakashi began.
"No buts. Without you neither of us would have been alive and I am so very thankful to have you in my life" Iruka said gently, caressing the man's cheek.
Kakashi suddenly remembered what Sakura had told him about two months ago. As long as Iruka was fine, then he was fine.
"If you are fine then I am fine" Kakashi said suddenly, "If you're alive, then I am alive" Kakashi said, kissing the man gently.
"You finally got it?" Iruka said surprised, smiling softly at the man.
"Took me awhile, but Sakura kind of gave it away" Kakashi said teasingly to the man making Iruka laugh softly before gasping, grabbing his side. Kakashi didn't even hesitate to hit the bottom on the wall before worriedly wondering what he should do.
"I'm okay, Kashi. It's just kind of painful" Iruka said, squeezing one of his eyes shut. Kakashi frowned at that wishing Iruka wasn't in pain.
Sakura walked immediately in checking on Iruka's wounds and checking on Iruka's morphine levels.
"Your heart just got out of critical Iruka-sensei and has been healthy for a couple of days, bouncing back and forth. I don't want you even moving until I can get you farther away from that point okay?" Sakura said gently, getting a head nod from Kakashi. She left the room after a few more minutes, re-checking his chart.
"You should sleep love" Kakashi said gently to Iruka only getting a sob from Iruka startling Kakashi.
"B-But I've slept for so long I've h-hurt y-you!" Iruka said unhappily making Kakashi back up in surprise.
"I w-want to s-see you more!" Iruka said upset.
"Calm down Ruka! I don't want your heart beating faster than necessary!" Kakashi said worriedly kissing Iruka gently on the lips every few seconds to get the man to calm down.
"I really am s-sorry" Iruka hiccupped, "I keep hurting you."
"Iruka-koi, when you are sad, I am sad. When you are happy, I am happy. When you're scared, I am scared" Kakashi said gently, "what are you feeling right now?"
"Sad" Iruka said softly.
"Me too" Kakashi said frowning. Iruka sniffled before he started smiling at Kakashi hugging the man around the neck. Kakashi was sitting on the bed next to the man.
"I understand" Iruka sniffled into his shoulder before kissing him on the cheek.
"Good" Kakashi said relieved.
"Go to sleep now love" Kakashi said seeing Iruka trying to fight off the sleep. Iruka stubbornly shook his head 'no' making Kakashi sigh.
"I will always be here, when you wake up. No matter what" Kakashi said gently making Iruka smile.
"I will always wake up for you" Iruka whispered back, falling asleep almost immediately.
"Thank you for waking up for me" Kakashi whispered, kissing Iruka on the lips, getting Iruka to kiss him back unconsciously. Kakashi was happier that Iruka was actually awake and was able to talk to him. Kakashi looked at the clock in the room before seeing he was fifteen minutes late at picking Akeno up.
Kakashi immediately 'poof-ed' to the school looking for Akeno from the gate. He saw Akeno limping away from a mud puddle that was by a tree at the far end of the school. Kakashi ran to him, worried at what happened.
"Akeno?" Kakashi said worriedly to the boy. Akeno looked up at him sniffling.
"What happened?" Kakashi said, trying to wipe some of the mud off of Akeno.
"The kids keep saying I'm a freak cause I have two Tou-sans" Akeno said sadly. Kakashi looked extremely taken aback before his aura obviously got angry.
"Then they all pushed me in the mud saying mean things" Akeno said sniffling. Kakashi was obviously pissed and was not going to go through this again.
"I told them it didn't matter because they love me" Akeno said softly looking up at Kakashi knowing he was obviously angry. Kakashi sighed trying to get his anger to go away which worked once Akeno hugged him.
"You're a good boy Akeno" Kakashi said softly making Akeno smile up at him.
"I talked to your Okaa-san today" Kakashi said happily making Akeno gasp in excitement.
"He went to sleep again but I'll take you to see him tomorrow since it's the weekend okay?" Kakashi said to the excited boy.
"Okay!" Akeno said happily.
Akeno didn't actually sleep for very long since he was so excited; Kakashi kept catching him getting out of bed.
Morning finally came with a still over excited Akeno running around the hospital while his father was walking much more calmly down the hall.
"Akeno" Kakashi said to the boy making Akeno stop in the hall, facing his father.
"He might not be awake today, so try to calm down a little okay?" Kakashi said shuffling his son's hair.
"But Akeno is happy because Tou-san is happy. Tou-san is happy because Okaa-san is happy. If Tou-san is happy than Okaa-san is happy!" Akeno said clapping his hands together. Kakashi finally had something click in his head. Akeno had both his and Iruka's cuteness. He also had Kakashi's looks and talents, but Iruka's kind heart. Kakashi realized it might be hard for Akeno to kill someone. Kakashi sighed inwardly but knew that it was the duty of a ninja and his son would have to one day, no matter how much they all detested it.
Akeno was patiently waiting outside Iruka's door, waiting for Kakashi to finally make it to him. Kakashi opened the door, a sleeping Iruka inside. Akeno was pushing a wooden chair to Iruka's bedside, hopping on to it; his legs dangling from the edge. Kakashi shuffled his son's hair, pulling a chair up next to him. Akeno was asking different medical questions to Kakashi like what the machines were attached to Iruka and what the different things on them meant.
"Tou-san?" Akeno asked five minutes later from his last question.
"Hm?" Kakashi asked distracted. He was reading one of his make out books (which Iruka permanently covered with brown paper so the cover couldn't be seen at least).
"Where did I come from?" Akeno asked innocently to his father. Kakashi however choked on his saliva. Kakashi was just staring at Akeno, with the boy staring right back at him; awkwardly.
Crap. I should have asked Shikaku when we were hanging out at the bar how he handled this situation Kakashi coughed clearing his throat.
"I'll tell you later" Kakashi said, resuming his reading. Akeno nodded, returning to his thinking of different stuff.
"Why are girls weird?" Akeno asked curiously five minutes later. Kakashi was inwardly dying on the inside.
"What do you mean?" Kakashi coughed out.
"Well they would always giggle and were nice to me. But now that I wear daddy's mask, they whisper and are mean" Akeno said replaying a scene in his head.
I understand kid. They only like you because you're adorable.
"If someone isn't nice to you with or without your mask on, just forget about them" Kakashi said. That would have to work for now.
Akeno nodded resuming his thinking again.
"How are babies made" Akeno asked curiously five minutes later.
"I'm getting food, want some?" Kakashi said standing up knowing he was sweating nervously at this point.
"Okay!" Akeno said happily, forgetting about his question. Kakashi left quickly trying to shake his head to get rid of all the questions Akeno asked him. Akeno sighed sadly at Iruka resting his head on the bed, looking up at Iruka.
Iruka was groggily waking up again. The ceiling was definitely blurry but the more he blinked the more it went away. Iruka wearily turned his head to the side, his eyes connecting with Akeno's curious ones.
"Kakashi… you shrunk" Iruka whispered out making Akeno laugh happily.
"Okaa-san!" Akeno yelled out, diving to hug Iruka who gasped slightly in pain but held Akeno tightly to him. That definitely woke him up.
"Oh Akachan! My baby, are you okay?" Iruka asked the boy worriedly who nodded his head. At this point, Akeno's arm was just covered in bandages. Iruka was just kissing him all over his head and face, checking for himself that Akeno was safe.
"You look just like your father with this" Iruka said tapping on the child's covered nose. Akeno immediately pulled down his mask giving a happy smile.
"I won't wear my mask around Okaa-san" Akeno said, remembering what his father told him.
"Thank you" Iruka said touched. Akeno yawned sleepily. It was late afternoon by now, but he didn't really sleep last night so he fell asleep on top of Iruka. Iruka played with the child's hair, holding him tightly.
"Iruka!" Kakashi walked into the room, seeing Akeno on top of him.
"Kakashi!" Iruka said happily, smiling at the man. Kakashi laid next to Iruka, his arm going over Akeno so he could wrest his hand on Iruka's side, holding both of them. His other arm went behind the man's shoulders, resting his head on top of Iruka's.
"Was I asleep for a long time again?" Iruka asked worriedly only to get a 'no' head shake from Kakashi, before being kissed by the man.
"Love you" Kakashi whispered against Iruka's lips, kissing the man almost desperately.
"I love you too" Iruka whispered back. Kakashi and Iruka kept sitting there, lightly kissing each other, before they both slowly fell asleep as well.
Another month passed before Iruka was released from the hospital. He was walking hand in hand with Kakashi from the hospital. Kakashi was going to drop Iruka off at the house before he left a few hours later to go pick up Akeno from the school.
"Kakashi?" Iruka asked nervously on the peacefully quiet road.
"Hm?" Kakashi said, looking at the man.
Iruka looked like he was about to say something but thought against it.
"What is it Iruka?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"N-Nothing" Iruka said quietly. There were two things going through Iruka's mind at the moment. One, he was wondering if Kakashi knew that Akeno had been requested to join in the chunnin exam. Iruka was told first considering he was good friends with the Head of Office, so he was so excited to see Akeno tell Kakashi when he came home from school that one day. Two, he was really horny. He couldn't help it. It had been like three months and the man just tempted him with that face of his. And body. And voice. And kindness. And cuteness. And caring.
Kakashi lifted his eyebrow at Iruka. Of course he was excited for Akeno to tell Iruka about being considered for the chunnin exam (and also a little nervous considering Iruka had to sign the paper too and he didn't want the brunet to object). He also wanted to take the man right here on the street but was trying to tame himself to the best of his willpower.
Kakashi opened the door, letting the man take a deep breathe once he walked in, who seemed to miss the place. Kakashi attacked Iruka's mouth immediately diving his tongue into the man's mouth. Both had a tongue wrestling fight that matched the humping against each other's pelvis'. Kakashi ripped off Iruka's shirt only to have Iruka practically jump on him, wrapping his legs around Kakashi's hips. Both were breathing heavily at this point, their pants gone the moment they hit the bed.
Kakashi put a slicked finger into the man's entrance only to get a moan from Iruka. Kakashi growled kissing and biting his way down Iruka's body. Iruka had his hands in Kakashi's hair, holding on tightly. Kakashi immediately attacked the man's weeping member, licking and sucking on it expertly. He would love to spend the day in between Iruka's legs as vacation time (he was pretty sure that no matter how much Iruka objected, he would love the idea).
Moan after moan left Iruka's lips who had missed this type of contact so much. Kakashi removed his three fingers from the man's entrance before slowly pushing his own member into the warmth and tight place lovingly. Kakashi couldn't wait anymore, and due to Iruka's pleasurable sob, he was impatient as well.
Kakashi started at a fast pace, already feeling his impending orgasm coming too quickly. Iruka wasn't doing much better, his member leaking dangerously. Iruka was almost matching Kakashi's thrusts, his knuckles white against the sheets. Iruka was breathing hard because he knew that Kakashi hadn't even hit his prostate yet.
"Kashi!" Iruka yelled out, his back bowing dangerously. Kakashi moved fast into Iruka, his stomach tightening. Kakashi hit Iruka's prostate hard making Iruka's back bow fully, his hands actually ripping the sheets below him do to the grip he had on them. Iruka was silently screaming, tears leaving him, as his orgasm rocked through his body making Iruka shake delightfully.
Kakashi's mouth was dropped down in pleasure letting out a long heavy moan, his head thrown back as his hands gripped Iruka's ass hard, his seed being released into the man's tight entrance, which didn't seem to want to stop at any time. After what seemed like eternity of their bodies remaining in a glowing ecstasy, they finally calmed down just a little to look at each other lovingly with so much pleasure.
"You usually don't shut up when we do it" Iruka smirked lazily at the man making Kakashi smile.
"I'm pretty sure we know why I didn't this time" Kakashi said smirking back. He attacked Iruka's mouth again, continuing his thrusting into the man slowly making Iruka moan happily.
"I can change that though. I'll talk as much as you want" Kakashi said happily making Iruka blush.
"No need!" Iruka said embarrassed before his prostate was hit again making him gasp loudly. Both continued for a few hours, their kissing never ending along with their love making. Iruka didn't even know how many orgasms he had at this point. Iruka glanced at the clock before gasping.
"Kashi! You should be going! Akeno gets out in fifteen minutes!" Iruka said to the man who was still inside him, hovering over him.
"But Ruka!" Kakashi whined, pushing himself into the man more making Iruka moan.
"N-No buts Kashi! We'll continue… later" Iruka whispered out. Kakashi pouted, pulling out of the man. Both quickly took a shower together which actually ended up as another round of steamy sex making Kakashi fifteen minutes late to picking up Akeno.
"Be" kiss from Kakashi, "right" another kiss from Kakashi, "back" another lovely kiss from Kakashi. Iruka laughed at him, pushing him out the front door. Kakashi 'poof-ed' to the school seeing Akeno waiting for him.
"Tou-san!" Akeno said happily actually climbing on to the man so he was getting a piggy back from Kakashi, his legs dangling off Kakashi's shoulders.
"Yo" Kakashi said to his son who hugged him happily around the head.
"Tou-san, do you think Kaa-chan will be happy like you if I join the chunnin exam?" Akeno asked curiously. Kakashi really hoped Iruka was happy and wouldn't disagree. It wasn't that he didn't worry about Akeno dearly, it's just that this is what Akeno wanted to do. He decided it on his own.
"I hope so" Kakashi said honestly to his son who was looking nervously down the street. They both made it to the house, Kakashi lifting the boy off of his shoulders, before smelling smoke when they walked in.
"Iruka!"
"Kaa-chan!"
Both cried out, running to the kitchen. There was smoke billowing from the kitchen. Kakashi lifted Iruka away from the kitchen to the kitchen doorway, while Akeno used chakra to climb up the counter to put a lid on the pan that was about to burst into flames.
Kakashi and Akeno were trying to get the smoke out of the house for ten minutes before turning to Iruka, their hands on their hips; poses matching.
Iruka was inwardly crying from getting a double Hatake stare down.
"What were you doing?" Kakashi and Akeno said at the same time.
"Making food?" Iruka said nervously, fiddling with the hem of his apron.
"Cute!" Kakashi and Akeno said happily.
Iruka sweat dropped at the comment. He wanted to try and make something for Akeno as a congratulations for his son passing through the Academy so quickly.
"Kaa-chan, ano, I…ano…" Akeno started nervously, looking at Kakashi for help.
"Akeno has been accepted to join in the chunnin exams because he excelled at passing through the Academy" Kakashi said. Both Kakashi and Akeno were looking nervously at Iruka at this point. Iruka was just shocked considering he didn't know that Kakashi knew about this either.
"W-What?" Iruka said quietly. He totally missed Kakashi's face when Akeno told him; darn it.
"He'd really like to, koi" Kakashi said holding Iruka's hand hopefully, looking at him worriedly.
Akeno grabbed Iruka's pant leg looking worriedly up at him too.
Why am I getting double Hatake attacks today!? Iruka thought dumbfounded. Iruka looked worriedly down at Akeno, before turning that worried gaze back to Kakashi.
It's not like all parents who have children as ninjas didn't go through this too. Plus they don't have Kakashi teaching their children either Iruka liked that comforting thought before sighing.
"Okay" Iruka said quietly. Kakashi hugged Iruka tightly, Akeno hugging Iruka's leg happily.
Seriously? Another Hatake double attack. Am I cursed today? Iruka thought smiling.
"It'll be okay, koi, I promise" Kakashi whispered to Iruka, kissing his ear.
"How about we go out to dinner as celebration?" Iruka said smiling down at the boy.
"Yay!" Akeno said, running to grab his coat.
"Iruka?" Kakashi said, looking worriedly at Iruka.
"Come on, we should go to dinner before it's impossible to get a table at a restaurant" Iruka said quickly, grabbing Kakashi's hand. Akeno was hopping up and down by the front door.
They had a happy dinner together, Akeno yawning on their walk back home. Iruka picked him up not wanting the kid to fall asleep and pass out on the ground. Akeno almost fell asleep instantly in Iruka's arm, Iruka's other hand being held by Kakashi who smiled kindly at his son.
They got back to their home soon, Iruka resting his son into his bed. Kakashi hugged Iruka tightly, both men looking down at their son, their hearts filling with pride when looking down at the boy.
Both walked out, sitting on the porch, gentle music playing in the background. Iruka was leaning against Kakashi liking the cool breeze outside.
"Iruka, koi?" Kakashi said gently, wrapping his hand around the man's waist.
"Hm?" Iruka sighed comfortably.
"Are you really okay with it?" Kakashi asked seriously. Iruka looked at him for a moment, knowing what he was talking about.
"I kind of have to be. It's something he wants to do. By the way, why is he wearing a mask?" Iruka said, doodling on Kakashi's leg.
"Iruka, koi…" Kakashi started, sighing. He thought it was better just to leave that subject alone.
"Anyway he says he wanted to wear a mask because he wants…" Kakashi started before blushing making Iruka curious.
"Because…" Iruka said curiously, slowly smiling due to the increasing cuteness on Kakashi's face because of his blush.
"He said he…uh… wanted to be like me" Kakashi whispered out embarrassed before being hugged by Iruka.
"Cute!" Iruka said kissing Kakashi all over his face.
"That's also really cute of Akeno" Iruka whispered kissing Kakashi gently on the lips.
"I wish I could have seen your face" Iruka said, somewhat upset.
"I'm pretty sure I saw a flash from somewhere since Naruto came running up the street a few minutes later" Kakashi said rolling his eyes.
Iruka smiled happily. He was secretly making a photo album that consisted of their new family. He was going to show Kakashi one day when their son had grown up.
"I really do promise to protect him to the best to my ability" Kakashi said seriously to Iruka.
"I don't know" Iruka said exasperatedly, "you haven't kept your last promise with me."
Iruka pretended to be upset standing up quickly walking down the deck, frowning back at Kakashi.
"What!?" Kakashi said surprised running to hug the man tightly.
"I mean you did promise me a dance" Iruka said smirking deviously up at the man. Kakashi was taken aback before smiling.
"I did, didn't I?" Kakashi said rocking side to side with Iruka. Iruka slowly turned his body so he was facing Kakashi. Both of their bodies matched the beat of the music, both of them dancing around the deck. Kakashi would spin Iruka out and back in making the man laugh. Both ended up slowly swaying together on the deck, holding each other closely, never breaking eye contact.
"You know" Kakashi whispered against Iruka's lips, "you didn't keep your own promise."
"Is that so?" Iruka said quietly, rubbing his lips gently against Kakashi's.
"You did say we could continue, earlier" Kakashi said bouncing his eyebrows up and down excitedly.
"Such a hentai" Iruka said winking at the man.
"Like you're one to talk" Kakashi said winking at him picking him up making Iruka wrap his legs around the man's waist.
"Love you" Iruka said kissing Kakashi passionately.
"Love you" Kakashi said, smiling happily into their kiss.
Oh the wonders that occur when you meddle.
Sorry! Such a long chapter and it took me a while to post it. Anyway I was thinking of making another chapter of short stories consisting of the other couples and such. Yes? Anyway, Review and let me know!
