Kakashi
Chapter 3
Kakashi Hatake was a careful and precise individual who would like to think his skills of a shinobi were practically unmatched bar the individuals above him currently in status, individuals such as his senior officers, comrades within the exclusive group called the ANBU Black Ops and last but not least the Hokage. He was almost proud of the careful facade he built around himself. After all, it was so good it had successfully kept all but the Hokage from knowing what he truly felt about anything, no one but the Hokage saw the depth of his anguish, his despair, and of his shame when it came to his father... to his teammates... to his sensei. No one knew... well other the then Hokage and ...
Her...
That woman he had met when he was but 15 years old. She had been his first, a union formed not out of love and devotion, not from duty and honour but out of a time of weakness and hopelessness. She had been young as well, thus he forgave her for taking advantage of his state. She; a civilian,was naive and probably didn't understand the significant risk he had placed upon himself when he had cried, and yelled out his sorrows, she didn't understand what it meant for a shinobi no matter how young or old to leave themselves unguarded to someone let alone a woman who was practically a stranger. And if all that wasn't enough, the fact that it had been in the outdoors, while he was returning from a scouting run while on a mission, that fact alone was mind boggling as he was known as a stickler when it came to the shinobi rules and expectations.
It was those reasons, the nature of her character that had allowed her to live after waking up a few hours later with she sleeping beside him. He never told her anything other than his name, he had left her with out telling her anything about himself and yet he knew she already knew about everything he had hidden away.
Thus he had woken, dressed and left, never minding to wake the woman whom he had expressed such emotion to. This was a one time incident, It would never happen again, it meant nothing thus wouldn't leave anymore impact upon his life, no one would know of his lapse of professionalism. So despite the significance of the act, Kakashi hadn't mentioned nor thought about the incident after it had happened, he had no reason to, Thus when he had been called into the office of his leader, the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen his world was unpredictably changed forever.

It was a late in the evening within the Leaf Village where one Hatake Kakashi had answered the call of his leader. It was late in the evening where the silver-haired man stood straight with a serious expression when he asked what his leader needed of him, thus it was late in the evening when the said man, Kakashi had stood stunned in shock at the words that had left the old leaders mouth.
"Wait what? Care to say that again?" the young warrior asked a slight tinge of shock laced into his tone.
The Hokage smirked and cleared his throat, "I have gathered recent intel about the existence of a child sired by none other than you, Kakashi Hatake." The old man coughed out a laugh as he lit his pipe once more before giving the shocked man a sly look, "You know, if you had a lover you didn't have to hide her, is that why you request out of village missions?"
The silver-haired Jonin gave his best impression of a shocked gasping fish as he processed the Hokage's words. "What!" he cried out before collecting himself, "Lord Hokage, I would never use missions for such activities, I would never put the village in such risk" he denied with his usual casual tone before he flipped open a little orange book to distract himself from the impending feeling of shock and doom coursing though him.
The Hokage didn't even blink when the small book came into existence, long use to it. The aged man simply sighed, knowing his little prodding would get nowhere good. Though it was fun poking fun at the usually collected man there were decisions to be made.
"The child, was she created unwillingly?" Sarutobi asked carefully, Kakashi had been young at the time it was possible, despite the child being innocent, the fact she could be the child of an enemy was a high possibility if her conception was a unsavoury event.
The silver man sighed before replying in a deceivingly bored tone, "No... She was born of mutual actions, though the intent of creating the kid wasn't there I wasn't raped or anything."
Hiruzen almost sighed in relief at that news, he had been worried the child had been taken advantage of. "Very well... You seem to know who the woman is, the one who birthed your child, I am assuming it was a one-time event then?"
"Yes... I had been sure to never be so careless after the incident." Kakashi replied as he turned the page in the infamous orange book.
The Third Hokage nodded silently before picking up the letter before him, "this is addressed to you, though it was sent to me. I am assuming she didn't know your station or address thus decided it was easier to send it to me instead." He held the worn sheet of paper out to the quiet Jonin,
What will you do now, Kakashi?
