Fear and Love Part III (Kakashi X OC)

A Turn of Events

"Hey look! That kid's got the scroll!" One of the enemies said as he and a group of five other ninja with katanas darted for the three genin.

"Kanari!" Mitsue yelled as he dashed over and scooped her up to get her out of the way of an enemy that was about to attack her.

"Kashi! The kids!" Tsuki shouted as she saw five enemies headed for Kai. There was no way a kid like him could take on that many ninja, but she was too occupied with ending her current fight to run over.

Kakashi ran as fast as he could, determined to save his son's life at any cost.

Kai stood frozen, low on chakra and energy, clutching the scroll. He tried running but he couldn't they were coming up on him too fast.

Just as the enemies were about to make contact with him he squeezed his eyes shut out of fear.

Kakashi jumped in front of him, fully prepared to take the full brunt of the attack when Naruto's voice broke through the fight.

'It's now or never!'

"Kakashi-sensei! Kai! Look out!!" Naruto's clones grabbed onto the two members of the Hatake clan and pulled them to safety. His other clones behind him led an attack to take our the five katana wielding enemies.

"Rasengan!" Naruto's clones took down all of the remaining enemies at once.

Everyone gasped. They had been thrust back into the moment that Kakashi had died.

Only.... He didn't.

He didn't!

He didn't die!

It worked! Naruto managed to do what he does best.... Save the fucking day.

Tsuki felt small tears drip from her lower lash line, leaving shimmering trails of moisture on her cheeks; She took a few steps towards her husband. Slow steps turned into faster ones, turning into a speed walk and then a full on sprint in his direction as she realized Kakashi had been brought back to her from his irrevocable state of death. By some goddamn miracle, his soul had been returned to the land of the living, for the second time in his life.

Naruto's future self had disappeared by the time she reached him, tears almost completely blurring her vision.

She reached out for him, ready to embrace her soulmate, the half she couldn't live without, her love, the father of her children, the wonderful man that fulfilled her in every way possible, but instead...

SMACK!

She slapped him across his masked face, after which wrapping her arms around his torso and burying her face into his chest to muffle her cries of joy while Kakashi's chin was forced to rest at the top of her head.

Kakashi was in shock as he held his arms out, wondering what he did to earn a slap to the face from his wife,"What was that for?!"

Tsuki choked through her sobs,"That's for having sex with another woman in the hotel room next to me, asshole!"

"What the hell are you talking about, Tsuki?!" He asked as his hands instinctively rested on her shoulders, pulling her away from his body to look at her face.

"Dad!!!" Kai yelled as he ran over to him and hugged onto his waist as tightly as he possibly could,"Oh my god I can't believe it!!"

Kanari squeezed Mitsue's shoulders, he was carrying her piggyback on account of her injured ankle,"Oh my god! Mitsue! Oh my god can you take me to him?! Dad!!!" Mitsue walked her over and set her down so she could reunite with her father.

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief,"Good job, Naruto.."

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!" Naruto jumped up and down excitedly as he waved,"Kakashi-sensei it worked!!"

"What worked? What are you all talking about? That was the last of the Shioki clan members in our area, but what about the rest of the explosions that went off in the village?" Kakashi was extremely confused, his time in the afterlife becoming a vague memory as the time was rewritten.

Tsuki took his face in her hands,"Kashi! You don't remember?! You......you died!"

Kakashi's eyebrows scrunched in confusion as he put the back of his hand to her forehead,"Died? Are you feeling okay? I'm literally standing right here..."

By now everyone else that was involved in the battle came up and started hugging Kakashi, patting him on his back, welcoming him home. Everyone was just glad he was back in the land of the living.

Kakashi was determined to figure what the hell everyone was going on about, but as Hokage, his first priority was the village and its residents,"Sai, can you go check on the locations of the other explosions and report back to me?"

"Right away, sir!" Sai and the two former Foundation members took off into the village.

"Kakashi-sensei, we need to get you and the rest of the Hatake clan into the Emergency Operations Bunker. Your whole family is surely being targeted if someone's after you.." Shikamaru chimed in,"We can analyze the situation from there and coordinate a response as well as get in contact with the other Kage..."

Kakashi nodded in agreement,"Right, let's go.." he looked down at his daughter, who still had an injured ankle, he leaned down to pick up her, putting her on his hip,"Come here sweetie, what happened? You get hurt on your mission?"

Kanari couldn't stop her bottom lip from quivering as she slowly nodded her head, rendered completely and utterly speechless. She couldn't believe it, just moments ago she was walking away from the kid version of her father, leaving him behind to grieve the loss of Sakumo all alone. But here he was, talking to her, calling her the cute nicknames she missed hearing, making her feel safe in his arms once again. After spending the last month just visiting him in the cemetery, she couldn't believe this was real.

Kakashi wiped his daughters tears away with his thumb and reached down to ruffle his son's hair, who was equally speechless and teary-eyed"Don't cry you two, you can tell me all about your first mission when we get to safety.."

Kai, nodded, fighting back tears and the urge to tackle his father to the ground for a hug. He was so sure he was never going to see him again. Kakashi held Kai's hand and they all began running towards the bunker.

Everyone involved in the fight made their way to the Emergency Operations Bunker, a safe haven built into the ground under the Hokages building, made to house the Hokage and anyone else of importance that needed to be protected during a terrorist attack on the village.

Everyone shuffled into the briefing room and sat down at the long rectangle-shaped table that was surrounded completely by thick concrete walls.

Kakashi stood at the head of the table, placing his fingertips to the hard dark wood and leaning over to examine everyone's face and mood, trying to deduce as to why everyone was so emotional,"Someone explain to me what the hell you all mean when you say 'I died'..."
