A/N: I don't know if you guys know but I changed the author's note to Chapter 17 so if you haven't read it you might want to. It may also be a little strange but everyone is going to call Arashi Minato when talking to him but he will still be called Arashi in the rest of it. Well here's the next chapter, enjoy.
Disclaimer: Same as usual, nothing is mine
Arashi's head was pounding so badly he didn't want to open his eyes. He pushed through the pain and opened his eyes anyway. Arashi blinked until his eyes came into focus. He tried to get a feel for his surroundings. The first thing he noticed was the body next to his was stirring.
"Hey" Kushina said as she sat up and stretched. As she sat up the blankets fell off her body, that's when Arashi noticed she was completely naked. He looked down and realized that he was naked as well.
"Wh-what happened?" Arashi yelled
"Don't you remember?" Kushina said smiling. When Arashi shook his head Kushina proceeded to tell him that they had been talking and drinking. This had led to kissing and then they made it back to her apartment.
"That didn't happen" Arashi said, it was fuzzy but he could remember just one drink and turning Kushina down.
"How drunk did you get?" Kushina said with a laugh. Arashi flopped backwards on the bed and threw an arm over his eyes. Kushina clambered over him and began rummaging through her drawers trying to find something to wear.
"I don't remember getting drunk" He whispered
"Well you did and you have a meeting with the Sandaime Hokage in half an hour Yondaime Hokage." Kushina said leaning over and kissing him, still completely naked.
"What?" Arashi said as he shot up in the bed. He scrambled around trying to find all his clothes. He began throwing them on. "I need to go home and get some clean clothes and shower. Crap! I'm gonna be late!"
"Minato calm down" Kushina said trying to calm him
Arashi took a deep breath and turned back to look at Kushina. "Hey, Kushina… this" he pointed his finger back and forth between the two of them "never happened and it will never happen again. Okay?" he asked. He wanted to get out of there as fast as he could, Arashi didn't trust this girl.
"Yeah" she said looking a little heartbroken "Never happened… got it."
"Thanks" he said before he took off and made his way home.
Arashi didn't notice as he closed the door Kushina touched her stomach and whispered "I hope someone's in there."

After Arashi had left Kushina's he ran off to his apartment, he got there in record time. He showered and changed quickly, and then he took off toward the Hokage building. Arashi noticed Amana sitting at the Hokage's assistant's desk. "Arashi, how are you feeling?" she asked
"Fine and it's Minato" he said. He thought again and asked "Why do you ask?"
"You got sick yesterday at your celebration. Kushina and I brought you to her house so someone could watch you." Amana said
"Why are you here? Where's Biwako?" Arashi asked
"What don't wanna see me?" Amana asked with a fake pout. When Arashi went to apologize she waved him off and said "Nah, it's fine. She's out delivering another baby so I was asked to fill in."
"Oh, is the Hokage in?" he asked
"Yeah, go ahead Yondaime Hokage." She said with a laugh
"Thanks" he said as he walked into the room
"Hello Minato" Sarutobi said not looking up from the paperwork on his desk. "I'm just finishing my last reports. Soon enough this will be your desk and these will be your reports." He said with a laugh. Arashi waited by the door while Sarutobi finished the paperwork. It was about ten minutes before Sarutobi said "I'm done"
"Great" Arashi said pushing off the doorframe "What do we do now?" he asked
"We get you fitted in your robes, I'll start showing you what you need to do and then I'll move you into the Hokage's Residence." Sarutobi said moving towards the door
"Great" Arashi said with an eye roll

As Arashi was training to be the best Hokage he could possibly be Kyuubi was off soul-searching. The first part of his search was to spend time with his family.
"Kyuubi!" was the first thing Kyuubi heard as he walked into the clear where his pack was situated. Kyuubi turned in time to catch his mother as she flung herself at him.
"Hey mom" he said putting her down. It had been awhile since Kyuubi had seen his mother; he took in her bright red hair with gold streaks, her five sunset-colored tails and her yellow-green eyes.
The short woman stared at him smiling and then she punched him in the shoulder. "Why did you leave for so long and you talk to your father and brother but not me? I'm your mother you should have come to see me too."
"Sorry mom" Kyuubi said hugging her
"Why are you back?" Shinta asked from his spot leaning against a tree
"I need to do some soul searching and I thought I start by coming to visit the family." Kyuubi answered
"Well, we don't need you so why don't you just leave." Shinta said pushing off of the tree.
Shinta made to punch his older brother only to be grabbed by one of his tails and thrown backwards by a rather tall woman with golden hair, six golden tails and green eyes. "Out of my way three-tails!" she yelled as she threw herself at Kyuubi. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him.
"Hey Kin" he said hugging his little sister "You got tall!" he exclaimed when he realized she was taller than Shinta but still shorter than him.
"Yep, Shin is the smallest now." She said with a wicked smirk
"Shut up" Shinta whined as he moved away from the group and moped
Before Kyuubi knew it he was surrounded by the entire pack, well almost the entire pack his brother was still moping and his father was nowhere to be seen. "Mom, where's Father?" he asked
Most of the pack hung their heads, Kin curled into her brother's embrace and his mother got a depressed look on her face. "Your father is sick" she said sadly
"Can I see him?" Kyuubi asked and his mother nodded. As he began to move forward the pack split to make a pathway and his sister let go of him. Kyuubi walked through the pack feeling everyone's eyes on him.
"Taiyou…?" his father choked out as he reached blindly at the caves opening
Kyuubi's mother rushed forward and grabbed her husband's hand. "I'm right here Soukon." She said stroking his head "Kyuubi is with me." She motioned for her eldest son to come forward
"Father…?" he whispered taking his father's other hand
"What no 'Old Scar Face'?" he muttered with a tired laugh
"What happened?" Kyuubi asked his mother
"Nothing, your mother worries too much." His father said before he coughed into his fox form. All six of his tails splayed uncomfortably around him.
Kyuubi turned to look at his mother, she was crying. "Mom, what happened?" Kyuubi asked desperately
"A hunter got your father in his kitsune form." She said rolling her husband onto his side to show Kyuubi a highly infected wound on his left side. "He didn't heal right away and that's when we found out the arrow was poisoned." She started to sob
"No…" Kyuubi said closing his eyes "Oh Kami, no"
"Even works on demons." His mother said with a small sob
"Do you think that he's going to make it?" Kyuubi asked wrapping his mother in a hug
"I don't know" she whispered as she clung to her eldest son.
Kyuubi stroked his mother's hair and said "I'll stay until he's better."
"Thank you" she whispered into his chest. It was only moments before Kin and, surprisingly, Shinta came and curled into Kyuubi's free side. With his whole family cuddled together Kyuubi felt his stress and anxiety melt away, that was when it hit Kyuubi, he wanted a family.

Arashi had been Hokage for three months before anyone mentioned Kyuubi. Amana was the one to finally bring him up. She was in his office with little Tenten and she just blurted out "Whatever happened to that fox friend of yours?"
Arashi looked up at her from his paperwork. "What?" he asked
"Kyuubi, that was his name, what happened to him? He stopped coming around when you turned eighteen." Amana said looking at him sternly
"He told me that we couldn't be around each other anymore." Arashi said with a sigh
"And you're lying." She scolded "Rin told me that she met Kyuubi."
"He came with us to Suna." Arashi said putting his head in his hands "There was a bijou council meeting and we had a little disagreement. Kyuubi isn't going to be around much anytime soon."
"I'm sorry Rashi" she said hugging the young Hokage "I know how much you love him." She whispered in his ear.
"Yeah" he said putting his hand on her arms
There was a knock at Arashi's door and his assistant said "Minato there is someone here to see you."
"Just send them in" he said in a huff of annoyance. Shina gave Amana a dirty look before she went to get the visitor.
"She hates me" Amana said from the floor where she was planning with Tenten.
"Yeah, I don't know why though." Arashi said
"Maybe because I still call you Arashi." Amana said "Or because I'm in your office all the time." She added
"Probably" Arashi said putting his head on his arms.
"Hey Minato" came Kushina's voice from the doorway
"Kushina?" Arashi asked a little confused. Why was she here? He had made it a point of avoiding her for the last three months. She still weirded him out a little bit.
"Um… could we talk alone?" she asked looking at Amana and Tenten
"I can leave if you want Rashi…" she said
"No, Kushina whatever it is just say it." Arashi said tiredly
"Well… it's about that night…" she looked at Amana and whispered "that 'never happened'."
"We have an agreement about that Kushina" Arashi warned
"But Minato" she whined with a toddler-esque foot stomp, which made Amana giggle a little.
"Fine! What is it?" he asked in a frustrated manner
"I'm pregnant…" she said
The world went dark for Arashi and Amana had to move quickly to stop him from hitting the ground.
