'This
cannot be happening to me.'
Kakashi
sat on the counter top in the bathroom, as nervous and as harried as
a little wannabe ninja boy on his first day attending the Academy. He
had spent an hour wandering aimlessly after leaving the
jounin's training area, before carefully using a Kage Bunshin
masked with an illusion as a normal village woman out to buy a home
pregnancy test. Because, had Hatake Kakashi purchased it himself a
riot would have ensued. At the thought, the silver haired man
shuddered involuntary.
It
had taken all the courage and willpower within him to pick up one of
those omen-like boxes, all the while trying to keep his heart from
bursting right out of his chest. Never in a million years did the
last Sharingan holder of Konoha think that he
would be in this position.
Waiting
for the results had been the most frustrating five minutes in his
entire life; he stared at the box where the positive or negative sign
was supposed to appear, fingers drumming nervously on his knees, and
wondered exactly how insane he had become.
'I
must be going crazy. There is just no way�
God, I shouldn�t be doing this. It�s just a virus; just a stupid
virus that will be gone in a few days.'
His
legs shook as he sat there, and his hands trembled with the little
white stick held between them. He couldn't believe
he had even contemplated doing this, he told himself he was stupid
for letting what Anko had said get to his head like this.
He
didn't know how long he sat there, he lost
track of time while deep in thought, trying to tell himself to calm
down and that everything would be okay. That he was blowing an
innocent little comment way out of proportion. Minutes passed by in
silence, until he finally forced himself to look back down at the
test.
His
visible black eye widened, and limp fingers let the test fall to the
floor with a clatter that echoed from the bathroom's walls.
'Holy
shit, how the fu�?'
His
mind quickly supplied the only plausible answer for this problem.
Males don't get pregnant. Even if the said male was a
ninja. But Kakashi's bloodline allowed him the ability to bear a
child. His bloodline may not be as strong, or lethal looking like the
Uchihas and Hyuugas bloodline limits. Hell, even he was not so
sure his bloodline could be called a bloodline limit after
all. Being that he was the only member of his bloodline to ever
exist, after his parent's death.
When
he reached the age of puberty at twelve years old, he had been
awakened by a searing pain in his hips and an ache in his head. It
felt like elephants were driving trucks all over in his skull,
meanwhile demolishing his brain in the process. It was then that
there came to be a wet feeling between his legs.
He�
He� Was� BLEEDING!
Not
knowing anyone else to ask (his mother had died in childbirth, and
his father had been lost to suicide by the time he was a young
child), the newly appointed ANBU rushed over to Sandaime's home in a
surge of fear for his life. Fearing the possibility that he would die
from such a weird and incurable illness at the mere age of twelve.
Or he had thought that maybe somehow he had been hit by a strange
ninjutsu and the said ninjutsu had taken effect after the ANBU exam
ended, making him bleed to death. He explained his discovery early
that morning with fearful tone (not to mention he almost turned into
a watering pot) in front of Sandaime.
After
hours of frantic pokings and proddings disguised as a medical
examination, Sandaime was finally able to reach a logical conclusion.
He
almost could not believe the things Sandaime explained
to him.
It
seemed that his body wasn't like any other normal male body. He has a
little opening (right next to his pleasure spot, though he didn't
know what it meant at the time and wouldn't know what exactly a
pleasure spot was until eleven years later), one that normally
shouldn't exist for males. The little passageway appeared to
lead into a small sack-like area, somewhat like a uterus but no-where
near as sophisticated. Just a holding area, a womb, a place to
contain the fetus as it grows.
Each
month he would bleed for 5 or 6 days and he would need a lot of pads,
or tampons.
And
he was able to get pregnant now.
Goody.
It
was like being a bloody girl.
Sandaime
had blushed a lot with embarrassment, when he explained to him that
he would have a high possibility of being able to conceive a child if
he were to have sex with another male without
protection.
Thus,
as every word had sunk in�
Kakashi fainted dead away for the first time in his short life.
Now
sitting on his knees, on the cold tile floor of his bathroom, Kakashi
feels like he was about to faint for a second time.
He
wanted to hit his head on the wall and scream in frustration for not
understanding how this could have happened.
How
could he have been so stupid to have allowed this to occur?
In
the rush of hectic missions he had undertaken, he would occasionally
forget to check his periodic cycle. But was that really the
case? He had been late before, the stress and the emotional
roller-coaster ride of being a shinobi had done numbers on his
menstrual cycles in the past. None of them had caused such an
impetuous aftereffect like the predicament he was in presently, so
why...?
Then
memory dawned on him, he couldn't have forgotten such an amazing
night, as he knew he would remember the whole experience, in detail,
for the rest of his life.
That
night, a little more than eight weeks ago, he had allowed himself to
be held in Itachi's arms for that night and found to his own
amazement that it had made him happy---so happy that he had ranked it
the third Best Day Ever Ever Happened in his life.
He
had been so caught up in what his lover was doing to him, where he
was kissing, and how much pleasure it brought to him to even bother
with having a rational thought process.
They
had not used protection then.
Oh
no...
He
froze, panicked, and wondered what the hell he was going to do now.
He
couldn't just race up to Godaime Hokage's office and tell her that he
is pregnant straightaway, could he?
No.
He could surmise just how the Godaime would look at him, as if he was
insane (not like she never thought he was right in the head in
the first place), or she would laugh at him, for his wild attempt at
humor. Thereupon demand a thorough examination of his body. She would
want to know about the genjutsu seal placed on his stomach, why he
would have that seal in the first place and what he was hiding, and
next force him to undo the seal so she could take a better look at
his physique. Following that there would be long hours of frantic
pokings and prodding, with various medical equipment from one of the
hospital rooms, most likely with the aid of her assistant and
prot�g�, Shizune. Or, God forbid, Sakura!
No.
No. He could endure the medical examination Sandaime had performed on
him eleven years ago. In the past he had been too afraid of the
possibilities of dying, especially after just being made ANBU to care
about anything else, much less his dignity as Sandaime had done a
thorough medical scan over his body. Unknowingly, he started to shake
his head in time with his depressing thoughts, a gesture of raising
hysteria.
No.
No. No. He wasn't a twelve year old boy anymore. He is a twenty-three
year old man this day. An adult. A male adult. A male adult that have
the ability to get pregnant.
Therefore,
he is back to his original problem.
He
is a male jounin. A male jounin who has ability to conceive a child
and is pregnant with said child at present moment. A child created
from the seed of one of the most wanted criminals in Konoha.
Shit.
Double shit. Triple damn shi-- His tirade of cursing was
abruptly coming to a screeching halt.
How
was he supposed to answer the question of who the father of his baby
was?
He
didn't think Tsunade and the council of Elders of Konoha would take
it kindly, perchance they discovered that he is pregnant and with
Uchiha Itachi's child.
Kakashi
felt like he could just break down and cry.
In
the end, the portion of his brain that dealt exclusively in rational
process of thinking shattered all of those lingering doubts. He
realized that he couldn't do this alone. Maybe he would be able to
hide the earlier stages of his pregnancy, but it wouldn't last
for long. As far as he knew from his observations on fellow female
jounins who were pregnant, he would be as big as barrel at the ending
stages of pregnancy. He wouldn't be able to pull off a lot of things;
including his usual style of fighting, if his battle with Genma this
morning was any indication to go by. In a real mission, the enemy
wouldn't just sit back and watch him puking his guts out.
There
is still another thing to worry about. The child's other father.
Uchiha
Itachi wouldn't be pleased about his pregnancy, however unplanned
this pregnancy was. He would kill him for
attempting to revive the clan he had taken the time and energy to
annihilate in the first place. Kakashi was barely able to fight
against him in top form, he surely couldn't fight Itachi by the time
his pregnancy far progressed. It would be suicide.
To
top that off, there is the dreaded part of giving birth when at the
end of pregnancy.
Kakashi
was a formidable jounin. He had vast amounts of all types of
knowledge; from battles, to missions, even to a certain series of
books. The extent of his knowledge was almost unrivaled, sans for the
few selective people out there. Sadly, he didn't happen to know
anything about the whole measly part of giving birth. How was the
baby going to get out of his body seven months later, or information
like how he would take care of his child afterwards.
He
needs all the help he could get. He would welcome Godaime's help, his
fellow jounin's help, the village's help, any kind of help he could
get.
He
will not lose this baby, just because he is too proud
to ask for help.
So
that's how he came to be standing in front of Godaime's office,
waiting 'till he is called in. He gave a disgruntled look towards the
ANBU guards posted outside the Hokage's doors, while inwardly he was
thankful that none of them were members of the Hyuuga Clan. The
Byakugan could see through the inner chakra coil system and detect
unusual chakra fluctuations concentrating around his stomach. He
wonders if time really did go slowly when someone was waiting, or
bored. He never thought he could be so happy to hear a "come
in" from Godaime's office before. 'Well, here goes nothing.'
He
was surprised to see Jiraiya in the office. The Toad Hermit never
stayed in one place for long. Last time he heard, the pervert Sennin
was off somewhere in the Earth Country, while training Naruto as they
traveled together. Mentally he groaned, it would be harder for him to
explain this all with the Toad Hermit present.
"Kakashi,
I don't recall I have called you for a meeting with me." Godaime
asked, genuinely concerned. "What brings you here?"
Kakashi
took a deep breath. "Godaime-sama, I require a favor." The
silver haired jounin paused for a second, then added, "No, more
precisely, I need your help."
He
didn't need a Sharingan eye to recognize the look of surprise on
Tsunade's face. It was understandable, because the Copy Ninja never
came to her, or anyone else, for help. Whatever it was that
would make him do so had to be incredibly important, or incredibly
dangerous. Because for all of the geniuses she had the pleasure to
meet in her entire life, Kakashi was among few that has a sense of
pride and a reputation to uphold that wouldn't allow for this.
Those like him prefered to solve their problems by themselves and
seldom asked help from others. On second thought, for being geniuses
they actually aren't that bright. "Oh, and how can I help
you?"
"Have
you read my medical records?" Kakashi asked her. He wasn't
stalling, damn it! Only needed to confirm how much information he
should divulge to Godaime before delivering the news that would get
him neck-deep in shit. Yes, that was it.
"Yes."
Sandaime had left his successor some scrolls containing results of
his research. Among them Tsunade had found out about Kakashi's
records. Information about his unique bloodline, the medical
examination done on him, his abilities, and so on. Unbelievable as
they may have been (she had never believed that a hermaphrodite truly
existed, let alone expected that the silver haired prot�g�
from Yondaime was one), but the records came from Sandaime himself
and therefore couldn't have been faked, or forged. All the
explanations about the existence of an opening, a womb, a second
gender hidden beneath the first gender, how both gender could be
active and functioning at the same time were indisputable
points that lead towards the existence of a "third gender",
a Hermaphrodite, a Male who has the ability to conceive and carry a
child.
Tsunade
was a medic-nin. The medic-nin inside her was deeply interested at
this discovery, but foremost she was a woman and the Hokage.
She could understand the reason why Kakashi would want to keep his
secret and what consequences were to happen if this information were
to fall into the wrong hands.
The
letter Sandaime wrote at the end of the records asked her to keep
this information to herself, it mentioned not asking or pestering
Kakashi with questions and demand examinations of him, until the
jounin felt ready to share his secret with her. That was one of
Sandaime's last testaments. He wrote the records, only so there was
someone Kakashi could confide his secret to after he was gone.
Tsunade wasn't about to betray her deceased sensei's will. She
wonders now what would make Kakashi want to speak with her
about his condition.
Kakashi
feels somewhat relieved. He was afraid he would have to explain his
unique condition and fulfill Godaime's demands of examining his body
in order to prove that he wasn't joking around. It still didn't
lessen his prime worries, but that was a good start. "You
know about my case then?"
Tsunade
only nodded. Behind her Jiraiya has been unusually quiet. Even the
old pervert himself could sense the seriousness of the situation.
"Well,
I'm pregnant."
Silence.
Total
silence.
Total
and utter silence.
Were
a pin dropped in the Hokage's office, there would have been more
noise than the silence that followed.
Normally,
Kakashi would have appreciated the silence. Or maybe the amount of
shock he caused, but though he had never been a people's person, he
was expecting something other than absolute nothingness. Sure, he
would rather spend his free time in silence and the solitude of his
apartment than hang out with his fellow ninjas, or party the whole
night away, but still...
Silence
and solitude gave him the opportunity to think (and more frequently
than not, to brood) about the good and the bad events that have
happened in his lone life. At least a lone life for an ex-ANBU member
and Konoha shinobi. Kakashi's list of the good things that happened
in his life was extremely short, so it was given that he would often
spend his time brooding than not, without any other present,
and in silence.
Now
he wishes for something, anything, anyone to break the awkward
silence that fell over the Hokage's office since breaking the news
about his pregnancy.
As
if the fates had heard his silent prayer and decided to humor him,
the silence---as sudden as it came---broke.
Jiraiya
started to babble unintelligibly in a language unknown to any human,
after a few seconds the Toad Hermit's babble trailed off into a
squeak that sounded remarkably like a five year old girl who had just
had her favorite doll taken away. His eyes widened comically in
horrified shock, and it was at least a full minute before he
remembered to re-hinge his jaw. Comprehensibility fled, he leaned on
Tsunade's chair and made a pathetic little gasping sound, that might
have been, "preg-preg-preg-preg-preg--!" had it not been
for the hysterical shrieks shoved in-between the choppy word-bits.
Kakashi
would have lavished in that shock expressions from the old
man---because Jiraiya's miniature epileptic fits were quite
entertaining---if it wasn't him who had caused the perverted
Sennin to lose his marbles.
To
his credit, Tsunade didn't laugh, nor was the other Sennin's calm
reduced to a transitory self-induced traumatic state like Jiraiya,
when Kakashi told her the news. She didn't have to. The look of
horror and utter disbelief in her eyes told him what she really felt
about the whole thing, there could be no mistake as to what she was
thinking.
"You're...
pregnant?" Tsunade said, mastering the art of stating the
obvious, with wide honey eyes.
"Yes,
I am." Kakashi agreed. The silver haired man was well-aware of
the bombshell he had just dropped, yet he feigned oblivion
regardless. Shinobi's rule number twenty-five---one of his favorite
rules over all fundamental principles of being a shinobi in his early
years---had clearly stated that ; A shinobi must keep emotions on
the inside no matter what the situation. A faint effort on his
behalf to overcome his nervousness, still... the masked ninja still
couldn't have suppressed all of his anxieties from showing in his
unconcealed right eye, he was purposely avoiding direct eye's contact
with Jiraiya and Tsunade. 'Shut up, you damn stupid conscience!'
"How
long?"
"About
two months so." He trailed off, dreading the next question
Tsunade would undoubtedly asked.
Surprisingly,
it wasn't Tsunade who asked the Million Ryou Question.
"So,
who is the---errrr---other parent?" Jiraiya asked, curious and
flustered at the same time. Considering that he had been gaping and
speechless only a minute before, Kakashi didn't think it would be
possible for him to form a coherent question.
Tsunade
fixed her gaze intently on Kakashi. Like Jiraiya, she couldn't quite
figure out what kind of terminology went where, seeing
as Kakashi was the one toting around someone else's
spawn. She could only assume that there was a father. Another
father, much as that hurt her head to think about.
"Itachi."
Kakashi answered calmly, evenly. "Uchiha Itachi is the
father."
The
scatterbrained expression of ever-lasting shock was back. Only this
time Jiraiya wasn't the only one who wore the look.
This
time even Tsunade couldn't keep complete composure,
she banged the flats of her palms against
the desk and scattered the papers
previously piled up ontop.
"Come
again?" Tsunade requested, as composedly as possible, after
somehow regaining her level-headedness. She looked like she was going
to have a heart palpitation at any moment, despite being very
healthy, well as healthy as woman at her age was. 'Are you
shitting me? Tell me you are just fucking with our heads, for the fun
of it.'
"Uchiha
Itachi is the one who knocked me up." Kakashi replied calmly,
not deterred from the looks of shock on both of the Sannin in front
of him. He was weeping inside, relieved that no one could see his
mental breakdown.
"H-how?"
Tsunade gasped, obviously scandalized.
"I
would rather not talk about it," the silver haired jounin said
stiffly. His face darkened and Tsunade decided she would let the
question slide, for the moment.
"I
believe you have your own reasons for keeping that secret, Kakashi."
She said as she stood up from her chair. "However I
need to examine you in private."
There
was groan of disappointment from Jiraiya.
Not
unsurprisingly, none of the room's other occupants paid attention at
the Toad Hermit's act of displaying his dismay.
o---O---o
o---O---o o---O---o
Tsunade
ushered her subordinate into the hospital, where she took him into an
examination room and sat Kakashi down on the paper-covered table. She
looked surprised when she spotted his genjutsu seal. "Can you
undo the seal Kakashi? How can I take a better look at you when
you're still wearing an illusion?"
Knowing
that the Godaime was right, Kakashi sighed and started to form a
series of elaborate hand seals to undermine the illusion he was
currently using. His genjutsu seal simmered a little, before
vanishing completely.
The
changes were immediate---his buff and well toned body transformed
into a slender, catlike, and overall more effeminate appearance.
Tsunade could see why Kakashi used an illusion to hide his true form.
To compensate with his naturally effeminate looks, he tried to be as
masculine as humanly possible, that included wearing a facemask and
changing his bodies outward appearance.
There
were some speculations (and quite a few betting pools running) among
the general population of Konoha shinobi about why exactly the Copy
Ninja wears that mask constantly. Some believed he has a disfigured
facial features, like fish lips, horse teeth, or a pointy
mouth. Others predicted he might have an extraordinarily good-looking
face beneath the mask, one that could endanger whoever saw it by
making them fall in love with him instantly.
If
only she could make him take off his facemask...
"Are
we ready?" the Godaime inquired.
Kakashi
gave her a scathing look. "We're not having something shoved up
our arses, are we? Just me. Although I'm sure I can arrange
otherwise."
"Ultrasounds
aren't done till the 12th week into pregnancy, and you're only in
your 8th. You can't get a good image this early with transabdominal
ones. But transvaginal scans can be run as early as 5 weeks."
Tsunade explained. "And you don't have a vagina, need I go on?"
"Just
get it done and over with quickly." Kakashi grumbled. He wasn't
looking forward to this examination. Last time he did this was eleven
years ago, with Sandaime. Only the threat of bleeding to death at
such a very young age enabled him to endure the whole
examination that one time in the past. Jounin level escaping skills
came in handy all the time, especially for escaping from any sort of
medical examination.
Tsunade
picked up a long, narrow instrument attached to a machine with a
small view-screen. She checked the transducer and the leads
carefully, covered the probe with a condom, and then applied a
coating of sterile lubricant.
"Okay,
Kakashi, here we go. Deep breath and hold it." She gently eased
the transducer into Kakashi's body. "There---that wasn't so
bad, was it?"
"Speak
for yourself," Kakashi retorted.
"Let's
just see what we have here," Tsunade pronounced, adjusting the
screen and moving the probe until she got a clear picture. "All
right. I'm going to move slowly, so we can get a good look at
everything."
"Pervert."
Tsunade
ignored him, intently studying the screen. "There! Look at
that---it answers a lot of the questions I have had." She
touched an area just visible at the top of the screen. "There is
an opening here, one that shouldn't normally exist. And it appears to
lead into a small sack-like area."
"Like
a uterus?" Kakashi asked, tilting his head so he could look at
the screen.
"No-where
near as sophisticated," Tsunade said absently, studying the
image. "Just a holding area, a place to contain the fetus while
it grows. I thought that the placenta would be attached to the
intestine or bowels, as in an abdominal pregnancy, but I never
imagined something like this." She gently pressed the transducer
deeper, centering the image on the screen. "I wish I knew how
fertilization could occur between males, but I doubt we will
ever really know that."
"It's
almost the same with women." Kakashi replied. "I do
have menstrual cycles to go by."
"Yeah,
I guess. All right, Kakashi---shall we knock on the door and see
who's home?" She shifted the wand part of the transducer
slightly and saw Kakashi wince. "Easy, Kakashi. I know it's
uncomfortable but we're almost done."
"Uncomfortable?"
Kakashi groaned. "You have such a way with words, Hokage-sama."
"I
do my humbled best," Tsunade contested, her eyes fixed on the
image. "And there is our little one," she announced with a
smile. She circled a spot on the screen with a light-pen. "See
this clear spot here, Kakashi? That's the embryonic sac, and this
little blob down here is your son, or daughter."
Kakashi
eagerly studied the image. "Can you tell which sex it
is?"
Tsunade
grinned and shook her head. "It doesn't even know what
gender it is yet." Then she frowned and bent closer. "What
on earth---Kakashi, I need you to shift a little this way, please,"
she said, gently easing the jounin forward a bit. "My God! I
never expected---this is absolutely incredible!"
"What?"
Kakashi demanded, his heart in his throat. He may not have wanted
this child, but the thought that something might be wrong with it
suddenly terrified him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing,"
Tsunade affirmed, a grin threatening to split across her face. "But
we have an explanation for the weight gain and the increased nausea."
She pointed at a slightly smaller clear spot beside the first one.
"See this? It's a second embryonic sac. Congratulations,
Kakashi---you're having twins."
Kakashi
didn't know if he should feel relieved, or horrified. The idea of
taking care of a child was scary, but with two children, it was damn
near impossible. But as he saw the little blobs who supposedly
were his sons, or daughters he found himself unable to hate them.
Unexpected though they might be, but they weren't necessarily unwanted.
Half
an hour later he was sitting back in the visitor chair in the
Hokage's office, when Tsunade explained what he should do.
"And
when will people actually be able to look at me and tell that I'm
pregnant?"
"Definitely
by the fifth month. Sometimes it is harder to tell from people who
are naturally large, but you're pretty thin as it is. You may be able
to notice within the next month or so, but it will be fairly easy to
hide," Tsunade smiled before she looked over some of the
information she had received and over the simple tests that had been
conducted earlier. "Everything looks good so far. You weigh
slightly less than I estimated and your iron is a bit low, but a few
changes in your diet should fix that."
She
was far from finished. "And as your doctor, I have a few
suggestions. Firstly, you need to increase your daily caloric intake
by about three hundred calories---and good calories, mind you. No
sweet things, not that you like sweet things to begin with. You will
probably gain three, or four pounds a month, so don't let that worry
you. Keep up some exercise---not training; exercise, like
walking, without any kunai, shuriken, senbon, or sharp things
involved---and get plenty of rest. Above all, call me if you think
anything might be wrong."
"I
will, Godaime-sama." Kakashi replied tiredly. "But it means
I will have to be pulled from active duty. Also that I can't stay in
Konoha much longer. People are bound to notice me when I gain more
weight in a few months. I'm not sure I can fool them with my
genjutsu, considering there is one clan in Konoha whose members can
see through chakra pathways and fluctuations. With this pregnancy, my
chakra control and reserve are going to be shot to hell."
"Yes,
I've assigned you a long term mission. I would like for you to keep a
low profile. Better yet, it would be a wise idea if you disguised
yourself as a female for the remainder of your pregnancy."
Tsunade appeared in deep thought. "I don't think you could
continue living on in your apartment. Only a handful of jounins and
ANBU operatives have information about your living arrangements,
but..."
"We
could never be too careful." Kakashi finished her sentence. One
of the most important rules of being Shinobi; Constant Vigilance!
Never let your guard down in any situation that might stir up
problems while on missions, or off missions in this case. That also
included the need for Secrecy.
Tsunade
nodded. "Do you have any other choices for a suitable living
place?"
Kakashi
was silent for a long moment, mulling over the pros and cons of his
option in terms of living quarters. "The old Hatake mansion. No
one has lived within it for years. I'm the only one who knows the
layout of the house, and many of the traps and tricks my... father
built into it are still active."
If
Tsunade noticed the temporary lapse in his answer, she chose not to
voice it aloud. "Good, no one would suspect you of moving back
into your old home." She stopped briefly, then resumed in a much
softer tones. "I'm glad you have considered this, Kakashi. If
Orochimaru and the Akatsuki found out that you're pregnant, I can
only imagine what they would do to you and your children."
Ah
yes, there are some criminal organizations which would love to get
him Captured and Killed, or worse Tortured to Death. As if his
situation wasn't bad enough, there is a rather disturbing fact about
the children's other parent. Who surely wouldn't be happy with his
pregnancy. Kakashi wasn't sure what made him afraid the most.
Itachi
killing him, simply because the Uchiha didn't
slay all of his bloodline for amusement, he wanted them dead and done
away with. At random... his pregnancy could be seen as an
attempt to revive the Uchiha Clan! Ha, who was he kidding? The
so-called-illustrious Uchiha Clan had marked him as no more than a
mongrel thief of their Sharingan, thus despised his very existence
quite openly, when they were still walking on the earth. Frankly, he
could care less about the revival of the Uchiha Clan. There was no
love lost between them---essentially in his part for their demise.
Orochimaru...
who knew what the pedophile-looking-mascara-wearing bastard would do?
Kidnap him probably. And wait 'till the children born, so he could
ensure more containers available for him in the future. That's it, if
the Snake Sennin knew the identity of the babies' other father.
"Kakashi,
besides me and Tsunade, how many know the identity of the
children's other parent?" Jiraiya asked him. He was surprised.
The Toad Hermit has been fairly quiet the whole time, unlike his
usual loud and exuberant self.
"No
more. Just you and Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama." He answered,
looking back at the man who had been his sensei's teacher and now one
of his pupil's teacher."
"Good.
Less people know the more safer it is for you." Jiraiya smiled
at him. For once, there was no trace of the lecherous grin he was
famous for on the Toad Sennin's face.
"Go
home, Kakashi." Tsunade ordered. "You need some rest. Don't
worry too much. We've got it covered. Just come to your monthly
appointment next month. I want to see you once a month from now on
and through your sixth months, twice a month during your seventh and
eighth, and during month nine I will see you once every week."
Kakashi
stood up, prepared to leave. He turned once more before opening the
door, adressing the two Sannin that promised to help him during the
course of his pregnancy. "Thank you Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama."
He didn't expect any reply. The Copy Ninja opened the door and left
the Hokage's office.
o---O---o
o---O---o o---O---o
As
soon as the doors were closed, Tsunade let the torrent of emotions
she had suppressed loose. The Konoha's leading ninja knotted her
fingers, rested her forehead on the back palm of her joined hands,
and sighed morosely. She needed some sake, bad. How Kakashi was able
to get himself impregnated was beyond her imagination, with Uchiha
Itachi's child no less---ehmm... well children, nevertheless. The
blonde haired woman had put up a calm and indifferent facade in front
of Kakashi, it didn't bode well to upset the young man further, she
could see that he was stressed enough as it was and in desperate need
for help. Tsunade didn't need to be a medic-nin to know that it would
take much for a proud man like Kakashi to ever come to her for help.
"What's
with the long face, Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked. For someone who had
an epileptic attack not quite a hour ago, he sounded too cheerful for
her own liking.
She
had merely looked at him, scowling at his cheerfulness with
half-lidded eyes and depleting patience.
"What
are you glowering at? Really, Tsunade, look on the bright side."
The Toad Sennin remarked in a tone bordering outright on pleading
with her to just listen to what he was really getting at. "I
think we should have an in-depth discussion about this. Just think,"
he proceeded, gesturing with a hand as he leaned on the wall again,
"such a match would produce a Clan our enemies would rue the day
they messed with."
Tsunade
merely raised one eyebrow. What was her old teammate getting at?
Oh...
"Please."
His voice was quiet, serious, and she found her brows drawing
together as she contemplated his mood. "Can't
you just imagine it?"
She
could. The Hatake bloodline had an outstanding genius capacity for
tactics, intelligence, and combat combined with the Uchiha's
Sharingan and impressive fighting abilities in all ninja's aspect,
mainly for taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu would meet in a most
formidable union. Uchiha Itachi was a bastard. But he was a dangerous
and powerful bastard. Before the Uchiha Clan had been wiped
out, they were the strongest bloodline clan and used to be mighty
influential in Konoha, second only by the Hyuuga Clan. Not to mention
the Hatake hound blood pact. What a lethal combination that would be.
Unconsciously she shivered a little and he gave a wicked smile.
"I
see you do." That damned knowing smile really was wicked.
"I
know, Jiraiya." She asserted with a frown. "Still keeping
things like this secret will be hard. Sooner, or later it will come
out into the open. We might be able to get things under control right
now. But when the children get older, others will start to notice
some genetic traits or resemblances to the other parent too,
especially when they finally developed the Sharingan."
"Yeah,
yeah," Apparently, Jiraiya didn't seem to share her
concern. "And how long will it take? Five, ten, or more years
later, Tsunade. By the time they found out, we would make sure the
children were able to defend themselves properly."
She
threw him a caustically skeptic look. Jiraiya's talent to take things
easy always irked her, and he seemed to have not lost that particular
talent even after aging throughout the years.
"If
he doesn't start settling in, the remainder of his clan will
go the way of the Uchiha. It's not like he has a lot of time on his
hands. And he was little Yondaime's
kid, after all, so I gotta do something."
"No,
he was Sakumo's child." Tsunade corrected him. "Yondaime
was not Kakashi's father. Why do you feel the need to look
after him? He is a grown man after all."
Jiraiya
threw her a gauging look. "Someone has got to. He doesn't have
anyone else. And Yondaime was more of a father to him than
Sakumo was," he retorted heedfully. Then his tone turned more
serious. "Since Team Seven's disbandment he never took on
another team of rookie genins, even considered giving up on being a
jounin teacher and started back up with ANBU again. Thank God, I
managed to persuade him, by the way. Also he requested you
to keep him on near constant and active mission status for all
this time. He needs a break, Tsunade. Every person needs a break
sometimes in their life."
Tsunade's
scowl softened a little as she contemplated the last bit of Jiraiya's
speech. Much as she disliked it, the pervert Sennin did have a
good point here. For a good amount of the year, Kakashi had tackled
every A-Ranked, S-Ranked, and Unranked missions available. Because of
this behaviour, his peers bestowed the Copy Ninja a new
nickname---something which suspiciously sounded like "the
lucky bastard who is hogging all the high-paying missions around
here". But for those who knew him better, it looked like the
last Hatake tried to drown his sorrow by taking all the dangerous
missions. If the masked jounin was trying to get himself
killed, he was doing a good job of it.
The
last time Kakashi had pulled off something similar like he has been
doing these days, was when his first teammates had been killed in the
line of duty. At the time, Yondaime was the only one who had been
able to deal with the boy and bring the homicidal eight year old out
of his self-inflicted misery. 'Did I just think that Jiraiya had a
good idea? Oh my God, I must be going crazy!'
Pondering
this reverie for a few moments, Tsunade began to see the logic behind
her old teammate's reasoning. Jiraiya was actually coming off as wise
for once. She shouldn't have been so surprised. The Toad Hermit has
proven many times, that he could be both a great ninja one second,
and a total sleaze ball the next. Simply put, he would shatter her
budding positive opinion by doing something stupid at any
given moment. Peeping outside the women's bath-houses as an excuse
for the sake of some 'research' material was one of them.
"He
has been alone for a long time." Jiraiya mumbled grumpily. "A
family. A child or two of his own will do him a whole lot of good."
She
knew where his heart lay. He had had quite the soft spot for the
blond boy and student who had become the Yondaime Hokage of
Konohagakure no Sato. And because of his unique connection to that
student, Kakashi had inherited Jiraiya's affection to a certain
degree. Yondaime had been so proud and nurturing of the young Hatake,
over the years as the Toad Sennin got a chance to be acquainted with
the silver haired boy, who had grown into a fine man and a good
shinobi, he also could see why.
"Plus
it would be a shame to lose that kind of power," he mused.
She
understood perfectly what he meant.
Nodding,
Tsunade chose to voice her agreement. It was only natural and
expected of the Hokage to acquiesce the importance of blood best kept within one's village. "I know." She
wavered, then continued. "And we will help him as much as it is
possible within our powers."
o---O---o
o---O---o o---O---o
Opening
the door to his apartment, Kakashi released a relieved breath he
didn't know he was holding. Well, that went well. Far better than he
had imagined. With Tsunade and Jiraiya's help he would have a better
chance at hiding his pregnancy from curious' eyes, and have a much
better chance for his pregnancy to progress normally, well as
normally as possible for him anyway. Considering Tsunade is the best
medic-nin in the Five Nations, he wasn't too worried, but he would
still have a long way to go. At least he wouldn't be totally alone in
all of this.
The
silver haired man took a look at a black and white image no bigger
than the palm of his hand. It was the first photograph of his babies.
Tsunade had offered to make a copy from his first ultra sound and he
gleefully accepted. He hadn't been expecting this, to be able
to see the babies so soon after finding out, to have this sort of
proof that there really was little lives living in his belly, to be
able to gaze at it, and know that they were his.
The
pride and inexplicable feelings of happiness that swept through him
were almost too much to handle; it was overwhelming, overriding his
earlier fears and anger. He had never in his entire life felt this
way before, and never had he even imagined what it was like to be a
father---errr, mother, whatever. The babies weren't even born
yet, but he could already feel something inside of him, joining with
the love he felt for his friends and family alike, something he had
ceased to hope for and never expected to find again.
His
gaze shifted to the ceiling as a single tear of happiness fell... and
he smiled.
He
isn't alone anymore.

Did
You Know ?
The
terms hermaphrodite is used to describe a person born with both male
and female sex organs, determined as neither exclusively male nor
female, or which combine features of the male and female sexes. The
medical community labeled this third gender as "Sex
Differentiation Disorders", in order to avoid conflating anatomy
with identity. This is a very rare condition and the causes are not
known. In most Western societies, those born with ambiguous genitalia
have been expected to select one sex, and conform to its gender role.
Doctors then recommend early surgery to make the child look
physically like the sex assigned to them.
There
are 3 labels of Hermaphrodites: True, Male Pseudo and Female Pseudo.
All are equally genuine. In this fic, I portrayed Kakashi more like a
Female Pseudo type, a person born XX (chromosomes) with normal female
internal organs but with "masculinized" genitalia. They can
appear more male then female or a combination of each. In reality,
however, it is practically impossible for both genders to be
functioning at the same time without causing some side effects to its
host, hence the advice for sexual reassignment surgery early in life.

Author's
Notes :
This
chapter was actually fully written more than two weeks ago, I took
time to re-read and re-write Chapter 3, mainly due to popular demand
from the reviewers about the gender of Kakashi's little bundle of
joy. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Do you know what was funny?
Most of reviewers in AFF. Net wanted a baby boy, whilst in FF. Net
most of them wanted a baby girl.
I
really hope everyone liked this chapter. I feel worried that no one
is going to like it for some reason. No matter how many times I spent
to revise it, I couldn't have been satisfied with the result.
Please
let me know what you think. It's difficult for me to write sometimes
and every review spurs me to work as hard as I can on it. Comments
and constructive criticisms are appreciated. Suggestions and requests
will also be taken into account, but this doesn't mean that I will
use all of them. Don't hesitate to tell me if I did a lousy work.
