And here it is my loyal readers, the epilogue. And I'm afraid to say that's the very last of this story, but have no fear, I plan on making a sequel sometime soon!

Disclaimer:I Don't Own Naruto!

Arashi opened his eyes, the sun was just starting to rise and he'd have to get up soon, but for now he was content to just lie in his nice warm bed. He'd slept like a rock last night, something he hadn't done since before the Cloud attacked, nearly a month ago.

He looked down at the small boy asleep beside him. Kakashi had slept in his bed every night since the attack. He'd start off in his own bed, in his own room down the hall, but not more then an hour after he went there, he would be here, crawling into Arashi's bed. He didn't mind really, it was like having an over sized teddy bear, an over sized teddy bear that kicked in its sleep. Kicked hard, really hard.

Today Kakashi would start his lessons at the academy. He'd scored 98 on the test. Arashi would admit he was a little reluctant to let Kakashi enter the academy, even after he scored so high on the test, but it was the academy, and a few years in it would do him some good. He wouldn't be able to pass the Genin exam until he was much older, right?

Beside him, the silver haired boy started to stir. He cracked his eyes open, noted that it wasn't all that light out, and flopped over like a fish out of water, buried himself under the blankets and pillows, and went back to sleep.

It wasn't the first time Arashi noted that the boy did not take waking up well. Arashi however was an early riser, as Hokage he had to be. He had found that the best, if not funnest way of waking Kakashi up was to annoy him until he just couldn't take it anymore. It always got great reactions, and amused him to no end.

He poked at the small child sized lump, it didn't move. He poked a little harder and was rewarded by a bit of wiggling and some muffled complants.

He started pulling the blankets back. The moment he revealed a small head of silver hair he kicked his legs out effectivly blocking the escape route to the end of the bed. Arashi yanked back the covers and moved in for the kill, tickling both of the small childs sides.

Kakashi yelped and attempted to dive further under the blankets but was cut off by the tall blonde's legs.

Arashi relented his attack on one of Kakashi's sides in favor of holding the squirming boy down. "You know what you have to say to get free." He stated over the laughter.

"Never." Kakashi gasped.

The blonde repositioned himself so he could hold the boy down with his knees and attack with both hands again. "Your funeral." He sighed.

"Alright, alright, you're the greatest Hokage ever and there will never be another one like you, and you could be the master of the universe if you wanted!" Kakashi yelled in one breath.

Arashi stopped his attack and smirked. "And don't you forget it." He said smugly. "Now, I'll make breakfast, you get dressed. Today is a big day, remember."

Kakashi wasted no time in leaping off the bed and running out of the room, leaving Arashi chuckling as he pulled himself out of bed and quickly slipped into a clean uniform.

On his way to the kitchen he noted how much the house had been fixed up in the last month. He'd had to leave Kakashi here alone all day, while he went and dealt with Hokage things, and the boy had taken it upon himself to fix everything he could. At first he'd been a little worried about leaving him all by himself, all day long, but he had sent one of his guards to check on him and report back once every two hours or so.

By the time Kakashi came into the kitchen the scrambled eggs were finished and being devided onto two plates. Arashi set them down on the center island where they usually ate and grabbed the two glasses of juice he'd poured earlyer.

"What's with the mask?" He asked when he sat down.

Kakashi climbed up onto his normal stool and reached for his chopsticks. "My dad started wearing his when he entered the academy and I wanna too."

Arashi smiled. "Well it looks good on you."

The silver haired boy smiled back and pulled the mask down so he could eat.

Not more then an hour later kakashi was marching towards the academy by himself. He had insisted that he could do it by himself, so after much mostly one sided arguing on Arashi's part, Kakashi had stuck with the single sentence of 'I can do it by myself!' the blonde had finally resigned to mearly showing the young shinobi-to-be what streets to take. Though Kakashi was positive one of Arashi's guards was trailing behind him, hiding in the shadows.

On the outside he was perfectly calm, inside however he was running up the walls with nervousness. He didn't really know what to expect, he had never really paid attention to his brothers and sisters when they were talking about the academy, he hadn't planned on going, but now here he was walking to school by himself.

He'd always though that if he was forced to go to the academy it'd be with Kichi, and their dad would walk them there like he did all his other siblings.

Stop thinking about it now or you'll start crying, you don't want to show up to your first day bawling do you? He thought to himself.

Kakashi stopped breifly just around the corner from the academy to wipe his eyes then continued on to his new life as an academy student.
