KAKASHI'S P.O.V

There was a knock on my door, but I ignored it. Then it opened to reveal Sarutobi.

"Sarutobi, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was you."

I said and he glared at me as he walked up to me.

"You idiot."

He said before smacking me across the face. I looked at him in shock.

"Wha-"

"Just because you're afraid of losing her you act out. You and I both know that you accepted Rin's decision a while back. So then what the hell is keeping you from telling her that? Why keep hurting her? If you keep this up you'll lose her. I wouldn't be surprised if she never wanted to see you again."

He said and I sighed as I sank into the cushions of the couch.

"I don't know. Every time I get close to her I freak out and think I'll lose her and lose control of what I want to say."

I said and heard Sarutobi sigh.

"Learn to control yourself Kakashi. Next time you hurt her may be the last time you get to see her. Keep that in mind, and hope that tonight wasn't the last time you got to see her."

Sarutobi said before leaving. I leaned my head back against the couch and stared up at the ceiling.

'What have I done?'

-FOUR MONTHS LATER-

RIN'S P.O.V

I sighed as I looked out the window.

"What's wrong Rin?"

Temari asked as she came out of the closet with my clothes.

"Temari, is it wrong that I don't want to have my child out of wedlock?"

I asked and she smiled at me as she helped me stand and get dressed.

"No, it's not."

She said and I sighed again.

"Come on, you've been stuck in this room for too long."

Temari said as she pulled me towards the door.

"Where are we going?"

I asked with a smile on my face as she pulled me down the hall, down the steps and towards the door.

"You'll see."

She said as we passed Kankuro.

"Where are you-"

He started but Temari cut him off. She leaned in and whispered something in his ear that I couldn't hear.

"Alright."

He said before smiling at me and walking upstairs.

"What did you say to him?"

"I just reminded him that he owed me a favor."

She said as she pulled me out the door.

She led me down the street of the village and I couldn't help but smile as the warmth from the sun hit my skin.

'It really has been a while since I last got out of the house.'

I thought and heard Kitsana laugh within my mind.

'That is true little one.'

'How are you and Shu doing? Still upset that you're not able to have kids?'

I asked and heard Kitsana sigh.

'A little bit. Shu thinks it's a great sacrifice I'm giving up by being with him, but it's not. I just can't have children.'

Kitsana said and I felt slightly bad at being able to have kids while she couldn't.

'Well if it makes you feel any better Kitsana, you can spoil mine and Gaara's child.'

I said and she smiled in my mind.

'I was planning on it.'

She said and I laughed at her.

Temari suddenly stopped and turned to me.

"Close your eyes."

She said and I looked at her confused.

"What? Why?"

"Just do it!"

She said and I sighed before closing my eyes. She grabbed my hand and pulled me along after her. We stopped and I smelled steam and hot water.

"Okay, open your eyes."

She said and I opened to see we were in the bath house.

"Temari…."

I said trailing off. She looked at me and smiled.

"It's been a while since we last had a girls day."

She said and I smiled at her.

KANKURO'S P.O.V

I knocked before walking into the Kazekage's office. Gaara was behind the desk working on something.

'What Temari said makes sense and would explain Rin's behavior lately.'

I thought as I walked up to my little brother. He looked up when I stopped in front of his desk.

"What's up Kankuro?"

He asked and I looked at him.

"Have you thought about your future with Rin?"

I asked and he looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

He asked and I sighed. Sometimes he could be so dense.

"I'm talking about if you plan on marrying her or not."

I said and his eyes widened in shock.

"Well, I have thought about it."

He said and I smiled.

'At least he's thought about it.'

"And?"

I asked and he sighed.

"I don't know how Rin would react. I don't know if she'd want to get married before she has the child or after."

He said and I sighed. It should be obvious.

"Why don't you find out? Ask her to marry you and work things out from there."

I said and he shook his head.

"It won't be that simple."

He said and I groaned.

"Damn it Gaara. Haven't you noticed how Rin's been acting lately?"

I said and he looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

He asked and I sighed.

"Figure it out yourself bro. If you love her then ask her to marry you."

I said before leaving the room. I'd done like Temari asked. I talked to him about it, it's not my fault our little brother is so thick headed.

GAARA'S P.O.V

'I do love Rin, but how do I know that she'll want to get married?'

I thought to myself and sighed.

'You could always do like Kankuro said child. Ask her and find out.'

Shukaku said.

'Yeah, but what if-'

'Look. If you keep focusing on the 'what ifs' then you'll never be able to focus on the future. Now either get up the courage to ask the woman of your dreams to marry you or don't. It's as simple as that.'

Shukaku said and I couldn't help but smile.

'Thanks Shukaku.'

I said as I grabbed the small red box from the drawer in my desk and headed out the room.

'No problem child.'

He said and I smiled as I followed Rin's chakra through the village. I stopped when I reached the bath house. I felt Temari's chakra in there with Rin's and sighed.

'I finally decide and she's with my sister.'

I groaned and heard Shukaku laugh within my mind.

'It is better this way. Instead of just asking her out of the blue, why not take her out and make it special.'

Shukaku said and I shook my head in surprise at him.

'You're being awfully helpful all of a sudden.'

I said and he smiled in my mind.

'I've always been helpful child, you just never wanted my kind of help.'

He said and I laughed before heading back to the Kazekage building.

'True. But this time, I think I could use a little help planning the best date for Rin.'

I said and Shukaku's smile widened.

'Well, to start with you could…..'
