Chapter 5 Not A Good Idea

Kakashi POV

Blind with rage wasn't the correct word that came to mind were the hell, is he? Nothing but a made bed stared back at me. The deep black blankets seemed untouched like this is the same made bed from yesterday.

My first thought was that he is in the bathroom, so I slowly walked towards the pristine white door. The study wood stared back at me as I hesitantly knocked on the wood, the hard service tracking against my knuckles as I waited for an annoyed response. What the fuck, I slowly made my way into the room to meet an empty room.

The porcine white toilet started back at me as the light blue shower curtain started back purchased girly against the wall leaving a clean tub but not a single bubble of soap or drip of water ran down the wall. So there is no way that he could have taken a shower and made his way to the bridge. Where could he be, my heart crawled in my throat could someone have taken him last night on his way back to the house.

I rushed down the stairs with a mix between panic and rage filled my heart what the hell is going on. I looked at my left to see Kurenai talking happily with Asuma, her red eyes lit up her entire face as an effortless brilliant white smile formed on her face. "Have either of you seen Sasuke?" My question took them both off guards, Kurenai's flawless smile slowly slipped from her face as a worried frown took over her face.

Deep frown lines formed on her face as she started to slowly rise up from her chair, the wood stretched as she shoved her chair roughly against the ground. "He should be in his room he didn't walk passed either of us." Her worry frown from into a anger sneers as she made her way up the stare.

Before I could even say a word to the confused Asuma I turned to see Hayate walking into the house. This blank expression on his face as he opens his mouth to ask me a favor. "I need your help with tracking someone….." Before he could say a word Sasuke came running down the stairs. Like he had been there the whole time, he dares lie to my face when he knew that I knew that he wasn't in his room.

I growl angrily under my breath as my mind drifted back to earlier this morning who is that little brat to make me worry and then lie to me. My muscle seemed to tense from my rage as I crossed the building tops easily. The wind rushed past my face as I turned back to see Hayate was still following. Did he really think that I would take my anger out on another person kid?

"Go home and get some rest Hayate I can handle this my own." I looked at him he had this confused expression on his face before it turned into one of worry. "I'm not here to help you I am here to make sure that you don't go postal on the kid." I shook my head and sighed to myself before dropping down in front of the large brown house and knocked on the door.

I waited a moment and Kiba walked out of the house with his dog. I sighed and looked at him and then at the puppy "Sasuke said that he spent the night here is that true." I looked at him and he sighed as if he was exhausted from my question.

"Yes, he was we were, trying last night he decided that he could use the practice since the first day of ninja training didn't go well for him. But after a while, we lost track of time and before we knew it it was 1 in the morning. Since his curfew was at 10 he asked if he could stay the night with me. He said something about you flipping out if he didn't come home at the right time. Apparently, it's not the first time he was late."

I look at him there was no trace or proof that he was lying only this irritated expression like he didn't want to be here. "I'm sorry but would you mind to get out of my way your wife doesn't want us to be late to training and I walked pretty slow so I like to get a head start."

I look at him for a moment and nodded my head he could still be lying though. This could just be a ploy how could I really be sure. Wait there is one way that I can know for sure, if he spent the night with Sasuke training then he would know about his early training.

"Alright just answer this question what body part did he get injured in practice." If Sasuke really had been here he would have told him about his shoulder injury before they started to spar. Kiba looked at me like he didn't understand the question then sighed.

"Oh so you were serious" He huffed out some hot air and started to walk away. "His shoulder," He said it before snapping his head back. I nodded my head and watched him walk off with a white puffball at his sigh. I shook my head and ran all the way back to be the house I needed to make sure that there wasn't anything else I need to be aware of and I still had to get ready and stop by the cemetery.

I sighed and ran into the house only it find Ausma glaring at Sasuke. "Say that again and I will make you eat your words you got me." Sasuke scoffed cockily at Asum as his deep ravine blue eyes seemed to light up with joy.

Even as he began to speak in a cocky tone I could tell that it was something irrelevant but there could be important. Though I doubt it these two never talk about anything important."Bring it old man"

Sasuke slammed his hands on the table and look at Ausma who simply glared back at him before placing his hand on the table and holding it in the air. I sighed and watched as the two of them clasped hands and started to arms wrestle and here I thought that it was something important. I shook my head sadly and noticed that Kurenai was gone.

"Sasuke you should get going to the practice field we will be doing some mission today." I looked at him and he rolled his eyes at me "No offense dad but you show up late so what is the point in me even bother to show up on time when you won't even be there for another 20 minutes give or take."

I glared heavily at him did he really just say that to me, this boy had to be losing his mind. "You're in trouble do you really want to push me and I am changing your curfew." He looked at me this bright smile appearing on his face and I couldn't wait to crash his dreams. "It's changed to 9 and I don't care if you had a reason you still didn't come home and then you had to nerve to lie straight to my face now get going you can use the walk to cool down and saying no offense doesn't erase the offense"

He snarled and threw his chair back as he began to raise his voice as it hardens in rage and his eyes glew with a burning fury. "I'm not 12 you can't just do this, I have a life outside of this family. By the time that we get down with ninja training and mission, I won't have time to hang out with Kiba. This sucks!" I could see him unraveling as I walked a little closer to him not really bridging the gap between the two of us but being within reaching distance.

"You will start walking and do as you are told if you didn't want you curfew shorten then you should have called and owned up to what you did. Rather than trying to lie straight to my face." He growled under his brat as hatred burned in his eyes, for the most part, I have avoided him saying that he hates me.

But I'm sure that at some point as a teenager he will say it for the moment I just trying to avoid it. After a moment or two his eyes narrowed in rage before he stormed out of the house leaving me with Asuma.

I heard Asuma laughing at me as he picked up Sasuke's flung chair and looked at me his deep brown eyes amused that my morning was going so terribly. "Have fun with that he won't be agreeable to the rest of the day. Now if you don't mind I got 3 moody teenage to deal with."

He chuckled to himself and walked out of the house with Hayate in two I guess he was going home to. I sighed heavily and grabbed my book before walking out of the house and towards the grave. A week, from now, it will have been 6 years since the Uchiha massacre.

6 years since I lost my Mikoto. I shook the thought out of my hand Sasuke got pretty testy this time of the year it was getting close to the massacre and he tends to lose control of his temper.

I looked up towards the mountain of the Hokages and it was strange that there wasn't one for the Uchiha anywhere. They had their grave but with all the great service that they gave to this country and no one can be other of building them a small moment. I growled under my breath when I finally reached the cemetery.

The birds stopped singing and the blinding sunlight didn't seem so bright at this point I wonder if it had something to do with the fact that the center makes people said and feel grief. I sighed and walked over to Mikoto's grave first. Placing my hands together and bowed my head I sighed as all the memories of our life together came back into my mind. Her smile whenever we were training together.

The way she smelled like strawberries, and in the most current memory the day she told me that her parents were forcing her to marry a man she didn't love. It was common back then to marry people based on their families kekkei Genkai and her Uchiha blood gave her one of the more power bloodline traits.

I sighed heavily and lifted my head look at the picture that was placed in a glass case next to her name. Her raven blue hair was loose around her face that kind and a gentle smile plastered there like she never knew how to frown. I sighed and looked at her for a moment before standing up and starting to walk over to Obito's grave.

When I looked up there was a figure standing there looking down at the grave this worried look on his face as he smiled down at the grave slowly rose. I could see the raven hair and the black eyes and I knew them well. "Sasuke you are supposed to be at the bridge waiting for me." I turn it looked at him this frown forming on his face like I said something wrong to him. I crossed the distance between the two of us in three strides.

There was this frown on his face as he turns back to look at the grave. This picture of Obito was bright and colorful you could make out every color of his goggles and his jacket as this wide white smile lit up his face.

"Thought that I had some time so I wanted to stop by pay my respect. But I'm heading out now. Love you mom" Before I could say a word to him he disappeared in the leaves.

For a while, I just stood there memorized lost in time like there wasn't anything I could think of or do. I was numb for a moment before I bend down and brushed the dirt off of his tombstone. Naruto reminded me of Obito personality wise but when it comes to temperament Sasuke could have been his twin.

Help me with this upcoming week Obito give me strength in all of this. I sighed and looked up at the sky strange that the sun would shine on the place of the forgotten. I shot my head up and started to run to the training ground we had a mission today but it wasn't a big deal. They would be picking weeds, walking dogs stuff like that nothing too big for their first missions.

I was running closer and noticed the three kids when I turn to look at Sasuke he looked sullen and pisted off my guess the change in curfew. I smiled at them and ramble on about how some cat crossed my path so I had to take a long way around. I mean I could have told them that I was at my dead girlfriend's grave but that seems way too personal plus I don't want to to make Sasuke more upset that he already is.

I sighed heavily "Alright come then we should get going I am sure you are excited to start your mission." I looked at them and they each nodded their head well at least Naruto and Sakura did but Sasuke didn't even look in my direction. I sighed under my breath, my breath warming up the fabric of my mask.

If he wanted to act like a child then he can act like a child for now. I placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked up at me rage in his eyes but he brushed me off and kept walking. "So sensei what are we doing today." I looked up to see Naruto cutting into my thought. I hid my distracted face well but I could feel a shift in Sasuke's attitude.

I looked at Naruto's his blue eye lit up with excitement it forced a smile out of me and I looked at him "Well your combat abilities are pretty decent. So we are going to be dealing with some muggers that have been on the outskirts of the town. It seems that when people make there a way to the village they are robbed. It's our job to make sure they are brought to justice."

I saw Naruto's face lit up while Sakura's face fell into dread. She decided at that moment to get closer to Sasuke I am guessing she had no intention of fighting. I shook my head sadly and looked towards the gate of the village I sighed heavily before walk out of it. "About a few meters from here off on the side of the forest there is a camp of thugs we should make our way there and deal with them."

I looked at each of the students and they nodded their heads. I smiled at them and ran down the dirt path looking back every once and a while to make sure that they were behind me before veering off into the forest. I was running and jumped over stumps and fallen trees when I heard something hit the ground.

"Watch where you are going you little troll." I knew the irradiated and arrogant voice well "Sasuke?" I turned to look at Sasuke he had this indignant glare directed at Naruto who was staring up at him wide-eyed before his brows scrunched up and his face contorted into rage. "Then you shouldn't have tripped me."

Sasuke smiled arrogantly at him "Yeah? You little loser you tripped over your own feet, not mine and second of all keep your voice down you're going to tell the thugs exactly where we are." I looked at him and then at Naruto and sighed heavily as his whole body seemed to deflate as his face turned a bright red shade from embarrassment.

"Would the both of you stop acting like children and get up or would you rather hand this mission off to Asuma's team." I watched Sasuke scoff at me before walking ahead, Naruto struggled to get back on his feet before running after Sasuke.

I inwardly flinched I knew that this was going to get a lot worse before it got better. I decide to keep a close eye on them as the trees started to become thinner and fewer in numbers until we were staying at the edge of a small clearing. I looked around and saw a small campfire there was a man standing guard off in the distance but he didn't see us.

The other men were walking towards the campfire obvious to us. I ran into a nearby bush and single for the other to do the same. Once we were all covered I look at each of them. When it comes to Sakura she is not the best when it comes to blending with that pink hair and her combat abilities are little to none. Naruto is defiant and dem turned and has some fighting skill and Sasuke I knew his abilities all too well he could handle some ninja at the chunin level if he wanted to.

"Alright, Sakura you're with me. Naruto you take the man off guard and then converge on the fire pit. Sasuke heads for the fire pit directly and takes out as many enemies as you can." I could hear Naruto growling under his breath before it turned into a whine "Let this little loser take care of the guy on guard I can take all the others down with my shadow clones." I looked at him and Sasuke sighed before rolling his eyes.

"Let the twerp take on the bigger guys I don't mind taking the one off guard." He looked at me there was this malicious glint in his eyes. I decide to ignore the look "Alright Naruto but don't make me regret this choice."

I looked at him for a minute and he nodded his head. "Alright go!" I watch them disperse Sasuke had no problem taking care of the guard and he watched as Naruto ran towards the group of men there was at least 6 of them.

He created 5 shadow clones and went to take them down. But each one of the clones was digested with relative ease and brute Naruto was the only one that was left but he didn't let that dispute him he ran to the largest one spouting some idiocy about making them eat his dirt. But the man swiped his hand in the air before it came down on the right side of Naruto's face. "Sakura go grab Naruto."

I ran towards the large man and threw all my weight behind my right shoulder and slammed into the man's chest. I watched his eyes closed and he groaned out in pain. He fell backward his back slamming hard into the tree before he dropped to the ground in a broken heap. "Sasuke" I looked up and he ran over to me I watched his hands fly with incredible speed as he shot out multiple fireballs at the thugs.

One by one they collapse on the ground. He stood and looked at me that gleam in his eyes again before we both walked over to the mess we call Naruto. I shook my head as he slowly rose from his spot and moaned out in pain. "What a loser. Tell me can you do anything right?" It was a genuine question and Sasuke wanted the answer and his condescending voice only made things worse.

Naruto went to go chase after him but he winced. I shook my head sadly and looked at him. "Sakura, Sasuke goes tie up the thugs we need to take them to the Hokage and let him deal with it. Naruto comes here." I watched him walked over to him and I instantly started to check him for cuts and bruises. But other than the large blue and purple whelp that was on his face he seems fine.

"Next time when I give you a plan follow it and try not to make a fuss." I smiled at my mask and he nodded his head before looking at Sasuke. I could see the hatred in his eyes and it burned like an inferno.

"He thinks that he is so great he nothing but a jerk, a stuck up piece of shit." I snarled at him losing control of my emotion for a moment my paternal instinct took over. But that didn't stop him from looking at me questionably. I pretend like I was clearing my throat out before looking at him.

"He's not stuck up he just practices a lot that is all so I will tell you what the next mission you can take the lead." He looked at me and nodded his head excitedly before the others walked over. There were six large men glaring at me, I turned to l look at the one that was passed out on the ground when a ninja appeared over his body. I knew the white mask he was from Anbu and the chakra is was familiar was that.

"Hayate?" I turned to look at Sasuke he had beat me to the punch. The man looked at the both of us before lifting his mask up he smiled wide at Sasuke before turning to look at me."

Glad the kid is still in one piece and don't worry about these guys we got him. The Hokage sensed a ruckus and had us come and see what is going on. I will tell him that you completed your mission you're free to go."

I look at him and nodded my head before turning to look at the kids. "Alright let's head back to the town and we will be down for the day but tomorrow is up bright and early." They nodded their heads and we walked slowly to the village there was no rush. I took at Sakura she was talking to Naruto about how he needed to learn how to listen better. I turned to look at Sasuke he was walking slower than me.

I waited for him to catch up with me and I sighed "What you did was underhanded you know he couldn't take those guys and you willing switch places with him anyway." He looked at me and smirked evilly "You were the one that agrees to do it you didn't have was your choice Kakashi sensei." He mocked my title before looking at Naruto this look of disdain forming on his face.

I slapped him upside the head what is wrong with him what could Naruto possibly have down to earn him this degree of hatred. Could it just because Sasuke thought that Naruto is below him. I honestly couldn't tell you but it worries me that this hatred is going to set him down the wrong path.

"Watch yourself you will show me and your comrades the proper respect." He sighed heavily before turning to look at me "Or what you will change my curfew to 8." He looked at me before picking up speed leaving me in his dust that swirled around his feet. I walked faster to catch up with him looking up at the sky for a moment the sun burning bright and the sky bluer than the seas.

"You're still pisted about that I knew that there was a reason that you still had an attitude." He simply scoffed at my assumption and sped up as if I was nothing more then some annoying nat. This boy would be the death of me is attitude is something that I know he got it from me but that doesn't make it better.

I counted to walk casually behind him as I looked over to see Naruto going to the north and Sakura followed after him I guess they must have been heading in the same direction. Sakura's hair swished back and forth as her head swivel in out direction giving us both warming smiles before running off.

As I shifted to look at Sasuke I could see this deep seeded from forming on his face as he began to walk towards the house forcing me to follow after him. He hasn't said a word for a couple minutes when I saw the house starting to come closer and I figured that this is going to be my only time to talk to him before he ignores me once we get into the house.

"You need to start being nicer to Naruto get to know the kid." I didn't look at Sasuke when I said it so I wasn't even aware that he had stopped walking out of shock. He laughed at me when I finally turned around he simply snarled at me.

"You're not funny and that is not happening he has no skill as a ninja the only reason that he even graduate is that of someone else chakra not his own not his skill he is weak." He glared at me before walking ahead of me and into the house. I shook my head as he slammed the door and walked up the stairs to his room.

I was going to go up there and yell at him but I decided that it wasn't worth the effort. I collapsed on the couch and closed my eyes for a moment before tipping my head back and sighing out of exhaustion. I little nap would do me good.

Kakashi! Hello earth to Kakashi come on we have to go to get going I need to get home." I sighed and opened my eyes to see the sky was lit up with different colors of purple and orange. I smiled to myself before turning to see Mikoto laying on my chest her beautiful smile lit up her face and outshined even the most beautiful sunsets. "Why let's stay here for a little longer after this you go back to the clan of snobs and anti-fun people."

She laughs at me before kissing me, her soft strawberry lips against mine. I smiled at her when she pulled away. "Still as beautiful as the day that I met you." It took her by surprise and I watch her obsidian eyes fill with joy before turning to look at the sunset. She places her ear to my heart and laid her head down.

"I hate it there with him why is it that I have to marry him sure he comes from a powerful clan but so do I why can't I choose who I want to marry. I am an Uchiha dammit we are the best." I laughed at her and she turned her head to look at me confused. "What is so damn funny." I laugh so hard that her entire body shook from it.

"It's just that you Uchihas you sure do think highly of yourself and that pride of yours." I laughed shaking my head sleepily before she punched me in the chest. My heart stung a bit but she smiled wide at me. Before laying back on my chest, I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and she shivered a bit. "I wish that we could stay in this moment with you forever"

"Oh yeah if you think that you are so much better then we will just see tomorrow on our mission." I groaned and rolled onto my side to see a picture of me and Mikoto maybe that was what brought about the dream. Then my mind registered that was Naruto's annoyingly loud voice. I groaned what the hell was he doing here.

"Go away you little pest." I heard the door slam and lock and the shuffling of feet. I slide back on the couch placing an arm over my eyes before groaning. "Sasuke?" I looked up to see that Sasuke was looking at me as he was about to walk out the back door. "Where do you think that you are going." I looked at him and he sighed deeply so much so that it looked like his chest was caving in.

"Yes, dad I am just going outside to sit in the grass and get some sun if you haven't noticed I'm super pale." I laughed a little under my breath before looking at him he seemed pretty determined to go outside and I didn't get that. "Alright well I will join you and you can tell me why Naruto was standing in the front of our house."

I got off the couch and cracked my back before walking out the back door leaving Sasuke stunned for a moment. I feel the sun hit my face and walked out into the grass before laying down and looking up at the sun. I put my arms behind my backing interlocking my finger and closing my eyes getting lost in my thoughts.

It had to be around noon so Kurenai should be home in a couple of hours. I let the sun warm my skin for a few minutes when I hear shuffling next to me. I looked over to see that Sasuke was sitting on my right his eyes closed and his head back as he absorbed the sunlight. "So Naruto why was he here."

I looked at him and he shifts uncomfortably for a moment it almost looked like he was inward flinching. "He wanted to make amends for today I told him no need and he lost it." I look at him there was no change in his blank yet content facial features. There was no crew, usually, when he lies he moves his bangs back.

"Oh, then why was he so mad when you were talking to him." He sighed and opened one of his eyes looking at me critically. "He took it as I was too good to accept his apology. Since I did want to hear your mouth I tried to be polite but it didn't turn out that way. He is such an idiot he can never tell when I am trying to be nice to the little twerp." I nodded my head I looked at him before laying my head back down in the grass.

I couldn't help but think back to all the times that I and Mikoto laid in the grass and sunbathed instead of doing our duties for the day. She always said that it was too nice to work on days like this. I chuckled under my breath and took my mask off I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep with it on.

I breathe in some fresh air and heard a rumbling sound. I turn to see Sasuke he was laying down in the grass his chin turn upward towards the sun. "You hungry?" I looked at him and he laughed a little bit

"Yeah, I haven't eaten all day." I nodded my head and got up from the grass and walked into the house. I didn't hear him stir so I doubt that he even knew that I left him. I walked into the kitchen looking at the white walls and the pale blue cabinet. I walked over to the pantry and grabbed out a few jars of sauce before looking for a few packs of noodles.

I smiled to myself as I dug around the cabinet. You would think that since Kunai was such a neat freak that she might have actually clean out the cabinets every once in a while. "Mom keeps the strainer in the right draw closer to the pantry."

I heard Sasuke's voice from the backyard so he was aware of what was going on around him. I started to smile as I walked around the kitchen the putting the noodles in the boiling water and starting to make the meatballs for the sauce.

By the time that I was done cooking the sun had gone down and Sasuke had passed out on the couch. I walked into the room and found him curled up in a little ball. If you didn't know the kid you would think that he is the sweetest thing in the world and in some case he could be.

The last thing that I wanted was to wake him up, god knows that he hates to be woken up early let alone at all. But he needed some food then bed there nothing else I can really do. So I crouched down next to him and sighed as I brushed a piece of hair out of his face and shook his shoulder gently.

"Come on little one it's time for dinner." He groaned lightly and open one of his eyes it was glazed over with sleep and I doubt that he wanted to wake up. "Mom home yet?" He looked at me and his start to stretch out his leg on the couch. His tire little voice echoing and bouncing off of the walls.

"Nope but I made pasta you want to eat now or do you want to wait for her." He groaned a little before opening both of his eyes and sitting up on the couch. "Now I'm going to bed after this might as well eat now."

I nodded my head at him and walked into the kitchen grabbing his and my plate and walked into the dining area where a black table top awaited us. I smile and handed him his placed two cups and forks on the table and I smiled at him and I grabbed the juice out of the fridge and handed it to him.

He nodded his head he looks a little tired. I ate my food making idle chit-chat here and there when I decided to bring up the forbidden topic in this house. "So the anniversary is in a week you want to go to the grave"

I looked up to see Sasuke looking down at his plate his eyes were tired and his eyelids were slowly closing and I watched as his head started to droop. I ran over to his side of the table and grabbed him before his head slammed into the red sauce.

I sighed and lifted him bridal style in my arms. He growled lightly under his breath. "Don't want to talk about the massacre right now." I looked at him as his eyes slowly slid open. "If we do then I will have nightmares and I don't want that." I nodded my head and walked up the stairs trying not to hit his head on the banister like I did the last time he nearly passed out. "You need to stop overdoing yourself you know that."

He let out a small groan in agreement as he shifted in my arms resting his head on my heart. I smiled to myself as I push the door open to his room and walked in to look at the bare blue walls. "You should really decorate this room, it's so boring." He laughed at me as I placed him in the bed he sighed as his body hit the cold sheets.

"You're funny really" I smirked at him as I took off his shoes and pulled the blankets up to his chin. "I'll see you in the morning" He smiled at me as his head lolled to the side"Love you dad." I looked down at him his face at peace "Love you son"

I bent down and kissed his forehead before closing the door and laying down the stairs. I heard the door slammed shut and before it was locked. Kurenai smiling at me as she walked down the hallway."I have a proposition for you." I look at her before walking away and lifting the leftover food on Sasuke's plate and bringing it into the kitchen.

I walked over to the white fridge and place the plate on the fridges top shelf being careful to cover the floor. Before leaning against the countertop as I washed my hands and cleaned my plate. "What would that be."

I turned to look at Kurenai as she helped herself to the dinner still on the stove. "You late by the way." She laughed at me before she kissed me on the cheek "You're one to talk and my proposition is that tomorrow we do a training session the three of us. There is a large group of thugs running around the town robbing small merchants and sticking people up.

Kinds like a gang you, me and Asuma teams could work together. Think about it ninja has to work with other squads and have good communication skills with them so it would make sense that we did a drill don't you think." I looked at her and nodded my head t is a good idea and it might help Sasuke and Naruto to work off some of their steam. "Seems like a good idea and now if you excuse me I am going to bed." I kissed her on the cheek and walked up the stairs collapsing in my bed and passing out for the night.
