Chapter 176

I do not own pic!

Kakashi sighed as he leaned back in his seat after you left, staring at the door lost in thoughts...things had changed a lot during this time, it seems he is the only one not changing...

"Kakashi sensei, what is it?", Naruto was the only one still in the office with Kakashi, after you left with Itachi and Tatsu, and Sasuke left as well a while later.
"Nothing Naruto, I was just thinking", Kakashi said as he took some papers out of the drawer, apparently he needed something to get busy with and get his mind off of thinking about [name].
"Their son is cute, and he seemed to like you Kakashi sensei", Naruro said with a smile talking about Tatsu as Kakashi smiled warmly at this, Tatsu seemed to be a very nice and cute child, trying to have a chat with Kakashi and get to know him more, he reminded him of young Itachi and also of [name] when he first met her, spontaneous.
"Yes he is, it's a good thing we have Itachi and [name] by our side now, even though they didn't change their mind about moving here to the hidden leaf, but they are ready to help us whenever needed", Kakashi said looking through some papers and studying them, as Naruto nodded then excused himself and left, leaving Kakashi there alone with his own ideas and thoughts...

It was a beautiful evening, like every peaceful evening in Konoha. You've been walking back to your inn after having dinner in a nice simple restaurant with your little family, back there at the office...Kakashi and Naruto were just as welcoming as before, later Sakura met you again after you left the Hokage's office and suggested for you to come with her and meet the others girls and have some good time together. Hinata, Ino and Tenten, you have already met them years ago, as well as Temari whom you met during your staying at the sand village, you gladly accompanied the pinkette to meet with the other kunoichi, Itachi took Tatsu with him and left with Sasuke, of course after making sure to meet up with you later...

"Here we are...", Itachi muttered as you two reached your suite and entered it, locking the door after as you advanced more further inside.
"Tatsu is already asleep...", you whispered gently caressing the little boy's head as he slept peacefully in his father's arms.

"Something in our favor...", Itachi whispered to you with a smirk, making you blush as you looked at him then down at the sleeping boy.

"I will take care of him, and you go take a shower, you seem a bit tired and tense...", you said as Itachi nodded, handing you the sleeping child and taking the chance to kiss you as you remained speechless then a smile has been carved on your lips, he then headed to the bathroom while you took Tatsu to his bed.

You tucked your son in his bed as you kissed his rosy cheeks then his forehead smiling at him as you tucked his favorite shark toy beside him, you looked at him closely...maybe someday he'd be a great ninja of the leaf, you will not stop him or stand against his will, but until then, you will protect him and give him all the love and protection he needs.
You took the chance while Itachi was in the bathroom to put some seals around, even though the leaf is highly secured...you still need to take your measures, after all, you, Itachi and Kisame sneaked in years ago without anyone noticing...

You have been in yours and Itachi's room, standing beside the window and looking out at the gentle rain fulling outside and the pretty lights of the shops and streets and houses. After all what happened, it was hard to believe that one day everything was back to normal...you are in the hidden leaf, your original village, with Itachi and with Tatsu, your child who brought happiness and joy back to your life when you thought you have lost everything.
None of you need to hide or run away now, you smiled once you heard the bathroom's door open, you turned around seeing Itachi sitting on the edge bed and just watching you with a smile as he put the towel he dried his hair with aside, he seemed like he didn't want to disturb your moment of silence, you walked up to him and sat beside him, you cupped his face in your hand and looked deepily at his eyes, he is glad and he is...happy to be back here, with both you and Tatsu, he is close to his brother, he is in the hidden leaf...

"Happy?", you whispered with a soft voice, as your hand moved down and gently touched the necklace around his neck, "more than I have ever been...", he replied looking at your face seeing you nod and smile as you then looked at him, "good...now turn around and let me massage your back, lets get rid of the tiredness from our trip all the way here", you said, he nodded in pleasure not saying anything else as he took off his shirt and  turned around, as you placed your hands on his back making him close bis eyes and sigh at the feel of your gentle touch, something heavenly...

Too calm and relaxing...the lights were off except the bedside lamps that lightened the room in a dim orange glow, you passed your hands all over his back, gently massing it and knowing exactly how and where and when to press your fingers, making all the tension fade away.

"Did you spend a good time with Tatsu?", you asked gently removing some strands of his long black hair out of your way as you gently massaged the joints between his neck and shoulders.

"Good, we talked more about the ninja world...and to make things a bit clear for him, I even took him to the academy for a quick visit", he said, his eyes still closed as he enjoyed your touch while you nodded and smiled, "how about you sweetheart?", he asked in a low voice that can be barely heard.

"I spent some nice time with the girls as well...things seem to be better than I expected...they were really welcoming and nice", you said, causing him to nod and say: "tomorrow we will spend the whole day together, me, you and Tatsu...".

He opened his eyes and looked aside at the window, still hearing the rain falling outside, he smiled as this brought back memories...the first night he sneaked in your room on that stormy night.
"That night I first sneaked in your room years ago, it was the first time I sleep fully and comfortably in long time...", he said lowly, no more than a whisper as you smiled and continued messaging his muscles, "I passed through a lot and I never thought I will be happy again...but as you said [name], everything happens for a reason...if I remained in Konoha...I guess I would have never met you...", he said as you sighed and nodded, "there were so many things that could have happened and change our distiney completely... maybe if there were other circumstances, our parents wouldn't even met in the first place, maybe we wouldn't even exist...", you said as he smiled and nodded, "indeed...you know [name], despite everything that happened in tha past, I'm very happy that's actually the reality, I'm happy I got to meet you and felt your unconditional love and support, I'm glad I have fallen for you, I'm glad that we have Tatsu, I'm glad...you actually exit in my life and that you're my wife...", you smiled hearing him, you giggled and hugged him from behind wrapping your arms around his chest hearing him chuckle as he held your hands.

"I'm glad we ended up like this, you're mine 'tachi", you whiepred kissing his cheek and resting your chin gently on his shoulder, he smirked and said: "I don't have to remind you, you're mine [name], only...", you giggled at this and nodded, remaining silent for a while just enjoying each other's company.

"[Name]...what do you see in my eyes?", he asked you, as he turned around and looked in your eyes.

"I see myself...my reflection in them...", you whispered, lost in his beautiful dark eyes as he smiled, "and that is a reflection of what's inside my heart...you, and everything related to you my dearest", he said leaning in and kissed you.
