Chapter 2

"Hey, new daddy?" a tiny blonde began as he rode on his father's shoulders.

"Yes, Naruto?" Kakashi replied as he led their small party through the mall to the ice cream parlor.

Naruto pulled the grey-haired man's head back so they were looking at each other, even though the man looked upside down. "Are you older than Nade? She's really old but you has grey hair!"

Kakashi laughed. "Actually, Naruto... I'm 300 hundred years old!" Sasuke and Iruka rolled their eyes; the man wasn't really lying. He was actually closer to around 287... And even though he answered honestly, which was good, there was no need to let the young boys know what they were yet! Let them be blissfully unaware while it didn't matter. Let them go on being carefree, not knowing that one day their decisions would either make someone's life better... or end it forever...

"Wow..." both Naruto and Kiba said awed. Kiba was atop Sasuke's shoulders like Naruto was on top of Kakashi's. Naruto poked his father's forehead. "Have you ever met an dinosaur?" he asked, quite seriously.

Kakashi shook his head. "Sadly... no," he said and Naruto's face dropped. Kakashi laughed and grabbed the boy off his shoulders. "I am a dinosaur!" he exclaimed. Naruto yelled before he started laughing; Kiba cheered the grey-haired man on while laughing and clapping his hands.

Iruka found himself loving Kakashi even more than he already did, which he thought was impossible. He had only just met Naruto and already had the kid warmed up to them. He wanted to give his masked man a reward... but that certainly wouldn't do with Naruto around the house. He would wait until Naruto spent the night with Sasuke and Kiba, which he was sure they would both start asking about eventually. For now, he couldn't resist but to poke a little fun at the man. He turned to Sasuke. "Now I realize why no one likes to take children shopping."

Sasuke laughed. "Yes," he replied, "And his name just happens to be Kakashi."

Kakashi placed Naruto back on his shoulders, "I heard that Sasuke," and then to Naruto, "Tell Kiba's daddy to stop being mean to me," he pouted.

Naruto nodded his head and turned towards Kiba and Sasuke. "Kiba!" he exclaimed, "Make your daddy leave my new daddy alone!"

Before he heard the messege once more but from his own son this time, Sasuke pointed to the ice cream place. "Who's ready for ice cream?" he asked, effectively causing the entire Kakashi situation to be cut off.

"Me! Me! Me!" Naruto and Kiba began to chant, waving their arms through the air like they were trying to answer a question in school.

"Okay, okay," Iruka laughed; he pulled Naruto from Kakashi's shoulders and Kiba from Sasuke's, "We'll go get ice cream while your daddies find a place to sit."

"YAY!" the boys yelled.

Iruka shooed Sasuke and Kakashi away and walked the boys to the ice cream counter. It was made of glass and it was filled with whole a bunch of different flavors. There was regular vanilla all the way to something strange called, Vanilla Watermelon Blast... Bleh... "What do you want boys?" he asked... A big mistake.

"I want that one!" Naruto yelled, pointing to a bright blue flavor.

"No, I wanted that one!" Kiba yelled back.

"Fine, then I want that one!" Naruto tried again, pointing to an orange and green swirly one.

"That one's cooler than mine," Kiba complained, "I want it too!"

"No!" Naruto replied, "We can't get the same! I want that pinky one!"

"Hey! I was gonna get that one!"

"Look twerps," the guy behind the counter said, "would you just please pick a flavor already? I'm supposed to be on break in five minutes."

Naruto and Kiba looked at each other. "We want chocolate!" they yelled with big smiles.

The guy behind the counter rolled his eyes and began fixing two chocolate cones. He looked at Iruka, "What do you want?"

"Well," Iruka began sweetly, "I would really like you to apologize to these children for being a jerk and I would like to be served with a smile."

"Listen, sir," the guy said, "Just tell me what you want. Smiling has no affect on my pay check, and it's not my job to apologize to snot-nosed twerps."

"Well," Iruka replied, still as sweet as can be, "I suggest you begin looking for a new job... I'm married to the person who owns this mall. You're fired."

The man behind the counter laughed. "Yeah, sure dude."

Iruka saw a picture behind the counter; above it were the words: "Treat like a King. He owns this place." It was a picture of Kakashi. "Yes," he replied, "Well," then he turned and waved to Kakashi and Sasuke, who were both laughing, "Believe me or not, you need to be gone by tomorrow. And I'll have vanilla please." He smiled sweetly at the man behind the counter, whom had gone a few shades paler when he saw Kakashi.

Five minutes later, Naruto, Kiba, and Iruka all had free ice cream cones and were seated at a table with Kakashi and Sasuke. Kakashi was getting a kick out of watching the ice cream guy smile and wave to everyone who walked by.

"I just love it when my dolphin get's a little evil," the man said, putting his arm around the brunette's shoulders. He kissed the man's cheek. Said man blushed and pushed Kakashi away.

Sasuke laughed. "It was quite entertaining to watch you fire someone Iruka," he said.

"But Iruka didn't catch any body on fire," Kiba said, licking some stray ice cream from his fingers. Both he and Naruto seemed to have gotten more ice cream outside their mouths then in them.

Iruka laughed and grabbed a napkin. He wiped Naruto's face off and then reached to do the same to Kiba, but Sasuke beat him to it. Iruka's heart warmed. He had known Sasuke for a long time, about seventy years, and Sasuke had finally warmed to him and Kakashi about twenty years ago; the way he seemed to care so much for Kiba already made Iruka very happy. Sasuke was the oldest of all of them and had been searching the longest for his other half, Kiba would probably make it a lot easier on him. And they were so cute together as father and son! Sasuke made the perfect father!

"What ever are you staring at, Iruka?" Sasuke questioned, rasing an elegant eyebrow.

Iruka laughed. "You should know Sasuke."

"I do not listen to my friends' thoughts," the raven man said, then he looked at Kakashi, "Especially when Kakashi is around you... I learned my lesson the day he asked you to move in with him." He shuddered... Kakashi's mind was a perverted maze within which he never wished to trudge again. Before Kakashi had met Iruka his mind was simply a maze with only slight perverseness... not anymore. One mention of Iruka turned his mind into a jumbled pornographic puddle of lovey-goo. Sasuke had heard just how much he loved Iruka's blush and the 'cute little scar' on his nose... he had heard some more things, but they were things he would like to forget about his brunette friend.

Iruka blushed. He knew what was in Kakashi's mind better than anyone else, especially since the grey-haired man liked to live out his fantasies... "I see your point," he laughed.

"You know you love the way my mind works, Iruka," Kakashi said, kissing him on the cheek. He leaned in to whisper in the dolphin's ear. "At least, you sound like you do when we play our little games..." Iruka's face heated up even more.

Naruto gasped with a giant smile. "We'll get to play games, new daddy!?" he exclaimed. He looked at Iruka. "What kinds of games!?"

Iruka wanted a hole to open up and suck him into the ground. "Um... Well-"

"Special games that adults play when they are really happy," Kakashi said. He gave Iruka a thumbs-up; he had answered the questions rather well, right?

"But I wanna play too!" the blonde exclaimed, pouting. He turned big, teary eyes to Kakashi. "You don't wanna play special games with me?" he sniffled.

The grey-haired man sweat-dropped. "Uh..." Iruka hit him on the back of the head and glared.

"We'll play games with you!" Iruka exclaimed, "But your new daddy's games are boring and take too long... So you and me will find fun and entertaining games to play, okay?" He stuck his tongue out at Kakashi. "And he can even sleep on his 'thinking' couch to come up with games for us all three to play..."

Sasuke chuckled as he watched Kakashi stutter and gasp like a fish out of water. "You said you liked his evil side..." he pointed out to the man. The man glared at him and pouted. With another chuckle, Sasuke stood. "Are we all done?" he asked. "Who's ready to go home?"

"Me!" Kiba exclaimed, standing up.

"Me 2!" Kakashi exclaimed, getting up as well.

"Me 4!" Naruto exclaimed, also standing.

Iruka laughed. "What happened to me 3?" he questioned. He stood next to Naruto.

Naruto looked down at the floor sadly. Kiba tugged on the sleeve of Iruka's shirt. "Naruto doesn not like the number three," he said.

Iruka looked at his son. "Why not, Naruto?" The tiny blonde shook his head. Kiba tugged on Iruka's sleeve again. The brunette man looked to the smaller brunette.

"Its cuz nobody ever lets Naruto stay... He can stay for two days or one days, but he can never stay three. They always make him leave." The tiny brunette looked at Kakashi and Iruka with big brown eyes. "You will lets Naruto stay three days right?"

Iruka scooped the blonde up in his arms. "We'll let him stay forever!" he exclaimed. He looked at the blonde. "How does that sound Naruto?" he asked.

Naruto smiled brightly and squeezed his new mom's neck in a hug. Kakashi joined in on the hug.

"Yay!" Kiba exclaimed, clapping, wrapping his arms around Kakashi's legs. He wanted to join the hug too!

Sasuke watched the group hug and smiled. Kiba looked at him. "You too Daddy!" he yelled, holding one of his tiny arms out. The raven smiled and somewhat oddly joined the hug.
