Kakashi POV:

I can't believe it. I have a baby sister. I never thought I would see the day the lab would be even remotely successful with making a girl.

Currently, I was in Sakura's room. Juugo and Karin thought with would be a good idea for each of us to spend some alone time with her so she wouldn't be bombarded too soon. Since she's so young and hasn't gone through proper testing, we have no idea what she can do. So scaring her or making her uncomfortable could cause Sakura to release some of her powers too early and harm other people as well as herself.

I looked at her and smiled gently inside my mask. I would never let anything hurt her. Her sleeping form lay gently in the crib with the soft rise and fall of her chest. Her breath was almost completely silent, I'm guessing she'll be good at sneaking around when she's older.

Sakura was in her cat form and had to sleep on her back. Karin said that it's dangerous for babies at a young age to sleep on their stomachs. Because of that, she had to force Sakura to transform out of her wings so she wouldn't be uncomfortable or damage them while she slept.

For a while, I sat quietly in deep thought. The silent room filled with only the sound of our breathing was somewhat peaceful. I don't get this much peace with my brothers. Well, Itachi is an exception. Sometimes, Sasori is too. Neji is on his way to that point, but he is still a child. That means he still argues with Naruto and Deidara most times.

I looked back over to Sakura. She was standing while holding on to the railing to keep her balance. Her big, emerald eyes scanned me curiously. Her eyes met my one visible one. I felt my mask crinkle when I smiled at her even though she couldn't see it. Sakura seemed to know I was smiling as she gave me a large smile of her own.

She doesn't have teeth yet so I only saw her gums. One hand stayed on the rail as she raised the other towards me.

"Gah boo. Rah!", she exclaimed excitedly. It seems she wanted me to pick her up and hold her. I walked over to the crib and picked her up.

Immediately after, her small hands when to my mask. She was poking my lips and nose through the mask curiously.  She was trying to play with me. Well she was more friendly than most of my brothers already

When Sasori was a baby, he wanted to be alone. One time I tried to play with him and he poisoned me with his tail. Itachi almost killed me with his sharingan. Neji had hit one of my pressure points making me loose feeling in both my arms, and Zetsu had morphed my body in the ground except for my head.

I shook my head and whined internally. My brothers were just so mean sometimes. I ignored thoughts of my evil baby brothers and focused on my new baby sister. She was currently trying her best to pull my mask with her small, chubby hands. I gave a quiet chuckle at her determination to pull down my mask without a proper hold on them.

Sakura seemed to notice the fact that I was laughing at her. I swear I saw her give a little punt before her hand latched onto my silver hair. At first, I thought nothing of it. It wasn't until Karin entered the room did I realised taking care of Sakura was going to be a struggle.

"Hey, Kakashi. You and Sakura seemed to be getting along well. How does it feel having a baby sister instead of a brother?", she quizzed. As she talked, I noticed her preparing a bottle of milk to feed Sakura. I thought about it for a moment before responding.

"So far....it's been easy. Way easier than most if my brothers for sure. She's cuter than them too. Don't tell Naruto about that last part, though.", I chuckled. Sakura seemed to make a sound of agreement. Karin let out a laugh along with me before approaching us with Sakura's milk.

"Well, we'll just have to see about that. She's still an baby and don't know how she will turn out. And he also don't know how the female hormones will evolve and develop over time. She might be a little angel right now, but she could be bat-shit crazy and rude. Then again, most growing girls have their moments. I'll even admit to going through a few moody moments of my own once or twice.", she paused, deep in thought. Her eyes suddenly looked sad, almost as if she were remembering a bad memory. The seconds felt like hours before she shook herself out of the trance.

"Ah! I was babbling again and spaced out. That's embarrassing. Anyways, how about you feed Sakura this time. You are her eldest brother after all. And you'll be the one to teach the others how to care for her as she grows. Even Naruto should learn a little responsibility even if he is still a little boy.", she handed me the bottle and scratched her head. Karin was more-than-likely still embarrassed about her spacing out earlier.

Holding Sakura close, I extended an arm to take the bottle. I pressed the tip of the bottle to Sakura's lips as Karin tried to speak again.

"Oh. By the way, Kakashi, she can get a bit fussy with certain foods. She doesn't like drinking plain milk so she'll try to fight back. Just make sure she drinks at least half, ok?"

"I've taken care of babies before, Karin. I know how they react when they get upset."

"Okay okay.", she raised her hands in mock surrender," But I'm warning you now: I'm not cleaning up her mess. Since you wanna be a big brother that means you have to clean. Don't say i didn't warn you."

With those final words she walked out. I felt myself repressing an eye-roll. Karin's old enough to be my sister or cousin and yet she treats me like I'm her child. I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand.

Feeding Sakura for the first time.

I brought the bottle back to her mouth. Her lips immediately attached to it hungrily. After a few seconds she made a disgusted face. Before I could process what was happening, there was mill on my face.

Sakura just spat her milk in my face.

I was about to scold her for doing that, but she started crying. She cried for about half an hour. The only times I got her to stop crying was when I forced her to drink from the bottle. The others times in when she was busy spitting it back out at me. At least I now know she doesn't like milk.

It took about two hours to clean me, her, and the floor. I also had to give her a bath, change her diaper, and dress her. Finally, I had put her to bed. She must have been tired because she went strait to sleep.

It's been a long day and I was tired. I walked out the room and headed toward my own. On my way, I crossed paths with Karin as she was delivering papers.

"Hey Kakashi. Did you have fun taking care of Sakura today?", she joked. I knew she was  trying to get me to admit my fault. As much as I didn't want to admit it, I knew she was right.

"Taking care of a girl is harder than I thought."
