Since I was on the nostalgia train: Another old thing I coloured just for the funsies of it!

well, now it's clear

I have nothing if I don't have you

(Chapter 1)

This morning is just like any other previous mornings.

Kakashi poured hot water into a cup containing instant coffee, then stirred it with a spoon in his right hand, while his left hand was busy fiddling with his smartphone.

A few minutes later there was a "cling" sound from the toaster, indicating that the two toasts were ready to be eaten. Kakashi immediately took it and placed it on a plate, along with two other breads that had been toasted earlier. In total there were 4 loaves of bread, one for him and three more for his three children who were still sleeping in their rooms.

With his left hand still busy playing with his smartphone, his right hand opened the refrigerator door and took a bottle of milk, placed it on the table, opened the lid and poured the contents into three glass glasses, then returned them back to the refrigerator.

Kakashi then sat in a chair, sipping his coffee while checking his social media, skimming the news, then checking his schedule for today. There is nothing different from other days, except maybe the first schedule this morning before leaving to take the children and go to the office, that is meeting the new prospective nanny.

Since Rin just left two years ago, Kakashi has had difficulty handling everything, so he decided to hire a nanny to take care of his three children, at least this could reduce his burden besides having to work to earn money. However, finding a nanny was not as easy as he thought. He had received five people, but none of them lasted long. There were those who took the initiative to resign because they couldn't bear to look after their three children, there were those that Kakashi quit because he couldn't look after them well.

And this morning he planned to meet the sixth prospective nanny. Judging from the personal data sent to Kakashi's email, his name is Tenzo. He is three years younger than him. Actually, Kakashi was surprised, because Tenzo was male. This is the first time a male has applied to be a nanny. Kakashi also doubts whether Tenzo can be a nanny. But in his application, Tenzo stated that he had been used to taking care of his 3 nephews since they were babies. Besides that, Kakashi himself really needed a nanny. So he replied to Tenzo's email by asking him to come this morning at 6.30.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Kakashi was a little surprised. He then looked at the clock. 6.30 sharp. It must be Tenzo, apparently he is very punctual, thought Kakashi. He put down his smartphone and coffee cup, then headed for the front door.

Kakashi opened the door and was shocked.

"Umm...Can I help you?" He asked the figure standing in front of him. A girl with wide eyes, long brunet hair that fell past her shoulders, wearing a soft purple cat t-shirt and jeans, and a sling bag.

"Good morning, sir! I'm Tenzo, who sent you an email yesterday and intends to apply to be a nanny." Tenzo answered in an enthusiastic tone while bowing.

For a few moments Kakashi was silent, trying to digest his guest's words.

"Umm...sorry...I thought you are a male...."

"I am sir..." answered Tenzo with a smile. This is the first time Kakashi saw a man who was very beautiful and really looked like a real woman. "Umm...is there a problem, sir?" Tenzo asked.

"Oh...no...no problem. I'm kakashi. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kakashi," said Tenzo as he bowed again.

"Please come in..." said Kakashi.

Tenzo enters. Kakashi closed the door then walked towards the sofa. "Please sit down..." he said as he sat down. Tenzo sat across from Kakashi.

"I have read your biodata. And I accept you to work as a nanny here. Your main task is to look after my three children. Starting from preparing breakfast, lunch, taking them to school, picking them up, accompanying them to study, and making dinner for them. Your working hours start from 7 am when I go to the office until 7 pm after I go home. You work from Monday to Friday. And I have mentioned the salary I am offering in the reply email I sent you yesterday. Do you have any questions?"

"About food, is there anything your children shouldn't eat, sir?"

"Good question. Nothing."

"Yes sir, I understand."

Kriiiiiiiing....there was an alarm sound from upstairs.

"That's the alarm from my children's room. I'll ask them to come down and get to know you. Please wait here..." Kakashi got up from the sofa and walked up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Tenzo sighed. Even though he was used to taking care of his older sister's three children, this was the first time he would take care of other people's children.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs was heard. Tenzo took a deep breath and exhaled again to calm himself, then hurriedly got up from the sofa.

Kakashi was the first to come down while carrying a boy with yellow hair, behind him a girl with shoulder length pink hair who was still rubbing her eyes and yawning, then behind her was a boy with black hair and pale skin.

"Okay kids. This is Tenzo who will help dad look after you. Now introduce yourselves, please.."

"So... this flat breasted aunt will be the new nanny..." Sakura said without hesitation while yawning again.

Tenzo was shocked, as was Kakashi, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

"Sakura! Watch your words!" Kakashi scolded.

"I said the truth, right?" Sakura said, she didn't accept it.

"You really are an honest girl, Sakura." Tenzo said with a smile.

"Umm...please forgive her..." said kakashi feeling bad..

"It's okay. Sakura is right. I'm flat breasted. That's because I'm a male. So you don't need to call me auntie. Just call me Tenzo. Okay?" Tenzo said with a smile.

"Wow...you are the first beautiful male I've ever seen in my life..." said sakura.

Kakashi cleared his throat. "This is my second child. Come on, introduce yourself..." said Kakashi while holding Sai's head.

"I'm Sai." The pale boy's answer was short and expressionless.

"Hello Sai. Nice to meet you..." said Tenzo with a smile.

"I don't." Sai said flatly.

"Sai!" Kakashi scolded.

"It's okay. You're also very honest, sai." Tenzo said. "How old are you, Sai?" Tenzo asked kindly.

"Ten." Answer briefly.

"Dad...I'm still sleepy..." said the boy in Kakashi's arms while rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"And this is my third child. His name is Naruto. Well, Naruto, say hello, please.." Kakashi said while stroking Naruto's hair.

"I don't want to. I want to sleep again..." Naruto answered.

"Hey champ! Nice to meet you. How old are you?" Tenzo said.

"I don't know..." Naruto answered casually while burying his head in Kakashi's shoulder.

"Naruto..." said Kakashi. "He's 6 years old..." said Kakashi to which Tenzo answered with a smile.

"Okay. Let's get ready for school..." answered Kakashi.

"I don't want to go to school...don't want to...don't want to..." said Naruto whining.

"No way. You have to go to school. OK Tenzo, I think that's enough introduction. You can start working tomorrow."

"Yes sir! You can count on me." Tenzo answered with an enthusiastic smile.

Well...that was their first meeting. Kakashi's (and his three children's) first meeting with Tenzo. Also tenzo's first meeting with them....as a nanny.

We never know which direction fate will take our lives.

Even though they initially met as strangers, who knows, maybe later they would become close...even very very close...as close as a sweet couple or as close as a family...a warm family.

But as the universe dictates, sweet-close-warm relationships will not just form easily without challenges and tests. Right?

To be continued.... :)
