Chapter 16. Out Of The Bag

                           ***Y/n's Pov Two Weeks Later***

I was sitting under a tree near the training grounds with a cigarette in my mouth watching Kakashi and the kids go at it. I was in a particularly bad mood this afternoon. Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke had been arguing all morning, waking me up in the process. I'd been on night patrol for a week now and was actually skipping out on training the kids until today. That was, I put all three boys through a major workout as payback.

These mornings were becoming a regular thing though. Sasuke had moved in two weeks ago. At first it was awkward but both of us adjusted quickly. Sasuke was actually rarely home during the day and he always picked up after himself. However, in the last week he'd seemed to have adopted a bad habit, acting like my big brother. He didn't like the idea of Kakashi spending the night and didn't like when I stayed out too late with him. It was actually becoming quite a nuisance. I was being patient at first, it was cute him acting like my guardian, but it grew old rather quickly once Sasuke roped Naruto in. The blonde was at my house every morning yelling at the top of his lungs, and returned every evening making alone time with Kakashi impossible.

And today was the last straw. Both boys got a good talk along with my boyfriend. If he didn't provoke them none of this would have escalated like it had. And to top it all off we were still keeping our relationship on the down low. With everything that's happened recently there just wasn't time to hang out with their friends like usual although that would have to change. Naruto was a bit of a loud mouth and was having a hard time keeping things to himself, almost slipping up a few times.

So I was taking matters into my own hands, I asked Kurenai if she wanted to get together which she was never able to say no to and of course Asuma had to make it a party unable to resist, that meant Guy was coming which was perfect. They didn't have to track everyone down individually. To be honest I missed the red eyed woman, she was no longer on my team in the Anbu and had a team of kids to train on her own and still made time for her boyfriend...how did she do it all..being a ninja with a life was too difficult. But watching my boyfriend spar with the kids made me smile. So much had happened in the last couple of years...if someone told me I'd be dating the resident aloof shinobi back then I'd  laugh, of course now I couldn't imagine my life without him anymore. And the kids were a permanent part of me as well.

If they taught me anything it was I never wanted children of my own. It was a lot of work and the thought of fucking up a mini Kakashi was traumatizing. I shook the thoughts from my head, as said Jonin started to walk in my direction. He smiled before sitting down panting lightly.    

  "They giving you a run for your money babe?"       He laughed while watching the kids.

"Ha more like the other way around. I'm hoping I can tire Sasuke out enough so I can take you to dinner tonight without listening to him whine."

I sighed. The two would have to learn to get along if this whole arrangement was going to work. Who knew when Sasuke was going to move out the kid was only like twelve, and Kakashi might end up moving in before he left so they needed to suck it up. I puffed on my cigarette unsure of how to word things without taking sides.          

"Look babe I know he's a bit of a pain and I don't like being coddled either but he's just trying to look out for me.. and well you know Sasuke's still young what if we end up moving in together before he moved out how would you handle it then?"     

   I wondered how he'd react. I was not about to pick sides and if Kakashi couldn't accept Sasuke was a more permanent part of my life now than something would have to give. He took my hand and placed a masked kiss on it.

"Sweetie, I like Sasuke. He's a great kid but I can't help it if he pushes my buttons a bit. I'm not used to sharing your attention..not to mention I was here first so if I want to spend the night or take you out to dinner..hell even go on vacation with you I can. We're grown adults, if we wanna spend time together then we shouldn't need to ask....that's all I'm saying it's nothing against Sasuke..but you've been working nights all week and I miss you. He gets to see you every day I don't."
