*present*

Sasuke was in his room with Sakura, cuddling gently. Naruto was in his room in the mental hospital, laughing and crying still, missing Kakashi.

Kakashi woke groggily. He groaned and he felt his body flare in pain and he winced. He did notice he was warm instead of shivering. He looked at his body, though his vision was blurry he could tell he had at least three blankets over him. He enjoyed the warmth he oh so missed. His memories flooded back and he slowly sat up to see his savior. He smiled weakly.

"Thanks Minato." He thanked him.

Kushina had been worried, she hadn't seen Minato all day and her mind instantly went to Panick. He wasn't on missions, he was injured. Where could he have gone!?

Minato nodded. "No prob Kakashi." He smiled warmly.

"Minato. You're pale. Are you alright?" Kakashi asked weakly.

"I've been into a fight with Kabuto recently. Nearly killed Naruto. Naruto is probably better now though. I just hope he is calm." Minato trailed off.

"Naruto got hurt? How has he been all this time?" He asked.

"In love with you. Heh, the fake you set a date for your wedding. It's supposed to be held in summer. Luckily it's fall." He spoke.

"Summer huh? Well, I might just roll with that." Kakashi stated.

He started coughing violently and coughed up blood, wincing majorly. Minato moved over and gave him water and pain pills. The pills we're devoured and the water was gone in under ten seconds.  Minato began to cook some food for them, making twice as much for the starved Jonin he was gazing at.  He then got mad.

"Minato. Why the HELL! Did you come get me injured!?" His voice was forced and raspy, signalling his weakened state. "You couldn't have died! I mean I'm happy to be our of that hell but still! Gutsy move!" Kakashi spoke, mad.

"I get it from Jirayah." Minato. Chuckled. "When I found out about you gone, I just couldn't sit still. I placed my teleportation Jutsu on you a while ago when you were a kid. So I can know where you are. I did that you all three of you back in the day." He smiled warmly at Kakashi.

"....thanks...again." Kakashi spoke.

"Eat." He handed him his food.

Kakashi devoured his food, but tried to slow down, but failed. He was almost starved to death. He was so skinny you could count all his ribs, and every spine in his back. You could see his bones...he was in a very unhealthy state at the moment.

Minato ate his food but what he couldn't finish he let Kakashi eat. Kakashi looked at Minato and stood. He felt his head spin and he leaned on a nearby tree and held his head, slowly sliding back down.

"Rest up, I'll watch over you. I promise." Minato smiled gently.

"Alright.." Kakashi mumbled.

Kakashi got comfortable and soon fell asleep. Minato made clones and thet stood their ground. He watched Kakashi pass out almost instantly and chuckled. He leaned back and put out the fire he made to cook the food so their location wouldn't be obvious.

"Just rest up." Minato sighed.
