UGH! Some people are never happy.

Minato stood over the body of the Snake. The smell of gun smoke wafting up to tease his nose, he lifted a gloved hand and covered his mouth and nose, trying to hold back the sneeze he felt coming on and resisted the urge to smirk.

He'd done it! After a whole month of calling in old debts and asking questions he had finally found the Snakes location and killed him, believing that if he did, his little girl would finally be safe. Because once news got out that the Snake was dead, every hit ever placed on his little girl should fall through.

She was finally free to live her life, without fear. He wondered if Kushina would be pissed at him for resorting to his old ways to deal with the threat to their daughter, but shrugged it off figuring that after what Uzu and she had been through, that it wouldn't have really mattered any.

Kushina had always been amused by the fact that he killed people for a living.

He stood there for another second or so and shook his head then unscrewed the silencer off of the gun in his hand and quickly pocketed the pieces and grabbed the dead man's ankles and started to drag him further into the house. Making his way down the hall to the basement where the furnace was...

Kakashi and Uzu didn't go back to the party. Uzu had decided to go to bed early and Kakashi hadn't gone back because he had been too busy standing guard over her room for a majority of the night.

By the time the party ended, and everyone was gone, Kakashi was literally hyped. He just couldn't shake the excited feeling he had had once Uzu had said that she would be his girlfriend.

He waited until he saw Kankuro half carry, half drag Genma into his room before seeking out his own and sat inside his room, at his desk planning out everything for the next few weeks. He didn't know much of anything about girls, but he had seen the way guys acted in school and in movies, so those things were really all he had to go on until he had a good feel for the sort of things that Uzu would like.

Tomorrow morning he'd wake her up bright and early and take her out for a day long date. He figured that maybe if he tried a few ideas, he could see what happened. He would take her shopping if she wanted to go. And take her to see a movie. Buy her dinner, and then drive them down to the peir and walk with her a little while and watch the clouds, he even planned to take a blanket with them so that he could spread it out on the ground.

He had managed to plan about two weeks worth of dates before he looked at his calender and frowned. He hadn't realised that school would be starting up soon. But it would in another three weeks. Meaning that they had until Halloween for him to have her all to himself.

He sighed and rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall and made a funny little sound. It was well past four in the morning and he was finally getting tired. The day's events must have tired him out more than he realised. He pushed away from his desk and stumbled over to his bed and flopped down on it on his stomach and closed his eyes.
