Tsunade looked at Kakashi when he suddenly popped in her office.

"Hatake."

"Hokage-sama, why?" Kakashi asked. "I was out there fighting for the village. Why did you let my family suffer here?"

"My hands are tied, Kakashi. I tried to give Sakura what she deserves. But you know how the system works. I can't give her anything because you left without marrying her."

"Are you telling me that if I died out there Sakura and Kikyo will just starve? That she cannot get the money that I had. Is that is, Hokage-sama?"

Tsunade shook her head. "Kikyo will not starve, Sakura will not let that to happen to her daughter. But she won't. The elders did not even let her register Kikyo with your last name. If you died out there, the village would just seize all your assets, Sakura or Kikyo is not going to get anything."

Kakashi leaned back to the chair that he is sitting in. The information in his head is making him sick.

"I know its unfair, Kakashi. I'm trying to get that law repealed, but the elders won't budge. Kakashi, just make things right this time. Kikyo is almost my granddaughter, if something happens to you or Sakura, without your name, she'll be thrown in the system. And I can't do anything if it happens."

Kakashi just looked at Tsunade and sighed. The village did not change. Its still the same one that neglects their orphans. "What do I have to do to change her last name to mine?"

Tsunade took out a piece of paper out of her drawer and handed it to Kakashi. "I prepared that when the elders forbid Sakura to use your name and add you as the father in Kikyo's record. That is a petition for the change of name. Sakura already signed that."

Kakashi read the paper. His heart sank when he read his daughter's name - Haruno Kikyo. It should have been Hatake Kikyo from the very start. He took the pen that Tsunade offered him and signed the paper. He handed it back to her.

"There will be updates on her records in about a month. I'll try to expedite it if I can."

Kakashi nodded. That's the only thing that he can hope for. His brows furrowed when Tsunade handed him another paper.

"Just in case. I already processed that too. You just have to come here, and I'll preside it if you and Sakura agreed to it."

Kakashi stared at the marriage license in his hands. Of course, he wants to marry her. But Sakura is still mad at him because of his accusations. Sakura doesn't even sleep in their room anymore. She sleeps in Kikyo's room since that day.

"I'll ask her."

"Ask her properly, Hatake." Tsunade told him. "I know about your fight. Make it up to her."
