Chapter one.
From the time I was little all I could hear was the sounds of nothing, that's right quiet, nothing ever seemed to break through the quiet. Not even the sound of a man who wanted me to be his, you see I lost my parents at a young age and have been around foster homes since I was born. It was always the same they would take me in for a few days and then I would be back, the women that owned the orphanage was nice enough to keep taking me back. Well after a while I grew out of the little baby stage and no one came around, they only wanted cute kids babies not some eleven year old brat.
I was told over and over again that I would be adopted soon, but after eleven years of waiting I grew tired of it. I never smiled when people came to look at the kids, or when one of them would look at me I just ignored them. I was tired of trying once they found out about my family they would take me back here anyway, I sighed thinking of the many homes I've been in over the was until today of all days my birthday two grown men walked into the orphanage, one had brown hair the other silver both looking kinda scary.
I avoided eye contact not wanting to draw any attention to myself, sadly it only made the silver-haired guy eye me even more. He jabbed his buddy or whatever he was to him in the side and pointed to me, my eyes widened at this my only thought was 'no not again'.
"My I help you two gentlemen?" My hero I thought as Anko asked the men what they wanted, I quickly made a run for it not noticing the silver haired guy looking at him over his shades.
"My friend here wants to adopt, and I'm here for references and well moral support."The brown haired man said to Anko who blushed as she went to get the lady of the house.
"Just one moment please." She ran off in a hurry and was back in roughly two minutes with a red-haired women.
"Anko here says you want to adopt a child, do you have personal identification that I can run a background check with? If you pass this you will be approved and if you are approved what age or sex are you looking for?Would you like a child with needs? or do you want an older child or an infant?"The women ran off so many questions that both men looked at each other raised a hand to stop her so they could talk.
"I have all the papers you need, yes I know what kinda child I want,roughly the age of elven or twelve,male,blonde, blue eyes, tan with whisk marks on his cheeks. You have one like that?" The lady of the house looked on in wide eyed horror, she knew of the boy's pain when it came to the homes he went to.
"I'm sorry I don't think so."She smiled trying to avoid eye contact with the men.
"That's odd I thought for sure I saw a little boy who fit right in with my description just now, he ran off to one of the room going that way."The man points his long arm and fingers to the right and to the door the blonde boy resides in, making the women nervous.
"Well-you see he's not really for adoption I'm sorry." The man looked at her and saw right through her lies.
"Whats wrong with him that you wont even let me meet him?" The man asked a bit of anger showing through in his voice, that being a bad idea for the blonde heard him snap at her.
"Theres nothing wro-"the women was cut off by the blonde they were just talking about, as he kicked the man with silver hair hard in the shin.
"Leave her alone, it's not her fault that no one wants me!" The blonde boy yelled out, anger in every action he did.
"Oh yeah, no one wants you and whys that?" The man said as he rubbed his shin look at the boy, he had to lean down to rub his shin so he was at his eye level now.
"Cause of who I am that's why." He whispered and looked away tears in his eyes.
"Oh and who are you?" The man asked his eyebrows raise in questioning manner.
"Because I'm Naruto Uzumaki that's why."The man looked at me with what I thought was a smile, how could he be smiling at ME?
"Good your just the kid I want, loud and hyper I'm Kakashi Hatake and this is my partner from the police station Iruka nice to meet you Naruto Uzumaki."Kakashi held out his hand and looked me in the eyes, I was worried to shake it he was a cop he knew of me he must have heard about it.
"You know about me don't you?" I asked him confused about why he wants me I think I may have been to blunt with how I said it though.
"Yes I do, but I want to adopt you and become a family with you if you will let me that is?" Kakashi said as he stood up and rubbed the back of his neck looking nervous.
The lady of the house looked at me then to him and smiled she liked him just from how he talked to me, and I was right just a few hours later and I was in his car on my way 'home' for now at least.
I looked out my window and watched as all the kids clapped and cheered for my departed and hoped they would never see me again, I wanted to cry this was my only home the only place that cared for me.I sighed loud enough to get the two mens attention they looked in the mirrors and smiled at me, I didn't want them to smile at me I just wanted to go back to my room at the place I call home.
"So Naruto I saw on your record that today is your birthday, this must be a nice birthday surprise for you huh?" The man called Iruka asked me with a bright smile, I plastered on a fake one and played along sounding hyped up to be adopted.
"Yeah its great." I said in a happy voice but still I felt empty, then I was jerked forward by the car halting to a stop.
"Don't lie, if your upset its okay to be upset. But don't lie okay."Kakashi said with a stern voice this made me look to him, I didn't think he would know I was lying. No one ever did before.
"Sorry." I said dropping the smile off my face and not bothering to answer Iruka's question for real.
"Well, off to the store we go."Kakashi said with an upbeat tone, this guy was way to random to figure out.
We arrived at the store that he was talking about,but I couldn't believe my own eyes. It wasn't a store it was a mall one of the biggest in Tokyo, he pulled into a parking spot and got out. The other man Iruka follow suit and got out as well, my side door was pulled opened and I was motioned to get out as well.
"Naruto as this is a great day I wanted to take you shopping for what ever you want, clothes,toys,games,and anything you want in your is your birthday and the day we have become a family."Kakashi smiled at me patting and ruffling my hair as we walked, I wasnt sure if I should he would give me back after a few days with me like all the others.
Once inside the mall I couldn't stop myself from wanting things I had never been able to get, so many things were bought that day it was insane. Every time I would look at a toy or a piece of clothing it was taken to a counter and bought, not to mention the new pillows and blankets. He got me everything and I worried that he would have to take it back soon, I started to hope that maybe he would keep me that maybe he wouldn't be like that others.
"Hey Kakashi?" I looked at him as he was holding up an orange shirt with a flaming fox on it, he looked at me so happy he seemed.
"Yes Naruto?" He was smiling still does he really want me?
"Why do you want me to be your son?" I asked in a whispered I looked away I didn't want to see it, the hurt or pain in his eyes from me asking him but what happened next had me surprised.
"Your perfect that's why."He said as he put the shirt in my hands patting my head as he walked to the next row of clothes.
"But."I wasn't able to get out anymore then that two strong arms wrapped around me in a tight hug, something I've never had happen before I didn't know what to do to I fought it at first.
"Your perfect Naruto, your past is the past and it will stay that way I will love you as a son cause you are MY son."In that one moment Narutos walls broke down, this man could be the one to finally give him that happy place to call home.
Few more hours of shopping and a car full of things Naruto never thought he would have, they finally made it to the house Naruto would call home for how ever long Kakashi wanted three of them got out of the car and were greeted by eight dogs all happy to see Kakashi, Naruto shyed away from the animals dogs didn't like him very much.
"Okay guys calm down I want you to meet someone very important to me, he's going to be living with us from now on so treat him like family alright."Kakashi waved for me to come over to him and the eight dogs, who all perked up at the site of me I was shaking so bad it was hard to walk.
I put my hands out to the dogs learning a long time ago that if you let them sniff you they might like you, all eight of the dogs sniffed me moving closer to my personal space. I was actually about to faint when the biggest dog out of the pack walked up to me, and on his head was a smaller dog who leaned over and smelled my head. I stood still sweating bullets as this dog jumped on me barked and started to lick me senseless, I couldn't help but laugh as all of them barked and licked me as well.
"Bull,Pakkun,Urushi,Shiba,Bisuke,Akino,Uhei,and Guruko, give him some room to breathe guys. Sorry Naruto they get so happy to have new people around, are you okay?" Kakashi looked at me I guess I was either crying from being happy, or relieved but there I was crying my eyes out.
"Fine,they are the first dogs to like me though."I said patting Bull on the head.
"Yeah well they are you're dogs now to so you have to take care of them okay."Kakashi said as he picked me up,patted me on the head and walked over to Iruka who was beaming a bright smile.I could get used to that, I just hope he keeps me.
"Still thinking I'm going to give you back aren't you?" Kakashi asked me as I got lost in my own mind once again.
"Maybe."I said not wanting to hurt his feelings but really after a few days he would tire of me, he will give me back its only a matter of time.
"It's okay Naruto to be worried but I promise I wont do that, want to know why?" Kakashi asked as he helped Iruka unload the car and put things in the house.
"Yes."Was my fast response.
"I am just like you."Was his quick reply.
Iruka nodded his head smiled at his friend and quickly got to unpacking everything, placing it were it needed to go.
"Just kinda wondering here but are you guys like...um...together?" I asked not knowing how to put the question, this got me a strangled choking noise from Iruka and a hard laugh from Kakashi.
"Nope I'm straight as can be, Iruka's got eyes for a pretty black-haired women at work though." Kakashi said poking his friends face and laughing at his blush, I couldn't hold back a good laugh it just kinda popped out.
Both men looked at me with smiles on their faces happy that I was getting more comfortable around them, I was happy for the time I decided that I would live it up while I could it was nice here.
(Two weeks later)
Its been two whole weeks and he still wants me the first night was a bit hard for the both of us, he had no idea about my nightmares or that I would scream so loud it would wake the neighbors. But he took hold of me and hugged me all night long letting me cry for as long as I needed, he would keep telling me over and over again that it was all going to be okay. I started to believe him my life was getting better, I was having nightmares less and less as the weeks went on. Kakashi worked hard at his job so when I had to remind him about my school, he almost fell off his chair getting to the phone to make schooling plans for me.
"So you're sure you want to go to school, I mean I can just have a tutor come over-" I put my hands up to stop him.
"Yes I'm sure, I would like a chance to make friends can't do that at home."I said and Kakashi just nodded his head in understanding, but still he looked worried I was only there for just two weeks he was nervous.
"Jeez man you act like a mother hen stop that."Iruka laughed out at Kakashi who blushed and through a piece of bread at Irukas face.
"No I'm not you are." Kakashi snapped out as he nearly knocked over his hot coffee on his lap.
I just shook my head and walked out of the house bag in hand ready for the day ahead, Pakkun followed me to the gate and as I was about to shut it jumped through. I looked to him confused but shrugged it off and kept going, Pakkun walked along side me the whole way to the school. Once there he jumped on my back and onto my head, I didn't care if I got caught I would just deal with it then.
But I noticed as I walked into the school gate for the first time, I noticed others with pets as well one kid had a wolf cub on his head. Others had snakes and slugs things that you wouldn't normally see, or well maybe I just never wanted to look up and notice all this at my old school. As if the kid with a wolf cub on his head noticed that I was looking at him, he ran over and tackled me to the ground I thought for sure I was going to get beat up on my first day of school.
"Hey whats your name blonde?" The wolf lover asked.
"Naruto,and you are?" I asked in feeling a bit nervous with him straddling me, his other friends walked over and were now looking at me oddly.
"Naruto what?" A lazy kid asked almost in a slurred voice.
"Naruto Uz-Hatake,Naruto Hatake." I said happy for once that I had changed my name to Hatake.
"Nice name Hatake, I'm Kiba Inuzuka this little guy is Akamaru."Kiba took Akamaru's paw and waved at me with it, Pakkun barked at Akamaru and the same was said for the other.
"Hey whose that on your head Hatake?" A hyper kid asked as he bounced up and down in the most unpleasant colored clothes I've ever seen, who needs that much green and are those leg warmers?
"This little guy is Pakkun my pug." I said pulling him off my head and waving his paw at all the guys, who looked at Pakkun and laughed.
"Dude whats up with his face, he almost looks pissed at everyone?"Kiba laughed out I looked at Pakkun seeing that in fact he was upset, I whispered in his ear to calm down but it didn't work.
Grrrrr...Oh no that's not good he see's something that he is not happy with, I looked around trying to locate what was making him so upset. I finally found it a black cat with glowing gold eyes, sitting on top of a raven haired kids shoulder looking smug like his master.
"Whose that?" I asked everyone in the group looked over and cringed.
"That my new friend is Sasuke Uchiha, the playboy,bad boy, know it all, jerk of the school mister all mighty popular doesn't give a shit for anyone...You get my point right he's not nice so keep away from him everyone else does."I nodded my head and then noticed his eyes were on me, something in his eyes looked just like my own and in that one moment I felt like I wanted to know him.
The raven known as Sasuke wouldn't stop starring at me not even when a pink haired and blonde haired girls tackled him, he just kept looking and so did I not able to break the spell we were under. Then it hit me,he know my pain he can be a friend I pushed up on Kiba and walked over to him. Pulling the two girls who were fighting on top of him to get his attention, I put my hand out and he took it pulling him up to his feet.
"Naruto Hatake." I said with a nod of my head, everyone looked on with wide eyes no one just talked to Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke Uchiha,who's that?" He pointed at Pakkun who was growling at his cat from my shoulder.
"Pakkun, and yours?" I pointed to his cat who stopped hissing and sniffed my finger, licking it with his scratchy tongue this made Pakkun stop growling and smell Sasuke's hand.
"Funny name really or Ironic if you think about it his name is Shadow." Sasuke laughed out making everyone fall over they had never seen him laugh I guess.
"I like it, so you want to hang out or what?" I asked him pointing to the others who waved shyly at him, he nodded his head and walked over with me to the group I was getting to know.
"Hey guys mind if we all hang out, I want to be friends with him to." I said flatly making the raven next to me smile, this earned him some giggles from the girls and glares from some of the guys.
"Sure names everyone sound off!" Kiba yelled saying his name frist.
"Kiba and Akamaru." loud and proud.
"Rock Lee nice to meet you my youthful friend." Lee jumped up and down in a happy sing-song way.
"Shikamaru Nara and this girl is willow." Shikamaru pointed to a fawn next to him proud of her for not fainting I guess.
"Choji Akimichi." Choji chomped down on some chips and looked on.
"Gaara no Sabaku, this is Shukaku my raccoon." He said patting the thing on the head and it...purred okay that's weird.
"Sai,this is Rex." Sai patted a baby tiger?Where did these guys gets there pets the zoo?
"Well that's all of us..Nice to meet you."Everyone said looking to not only me but Sasuke to.
"Sasuke Uchiha, this is Shadow." He petted Shadow who jumped off of his shoulder and onto mine curling around my neck, while Pakkun slept on my head.
"Looks like animals really like you Naruto." Kiba laughed out as Sasuke nodded his head impressed by the way his cat took to me.
"Hey can we join you guys?" A blonde girl asked pulling over two other girls, one had purple-black hair with almost a lavender eye color she was cute, the other had Sakura blossom hair color and the most amazing emerald eyes you have ever seen.
All the guys looked at each other not to sure on what to do, no girls hung out with them I guess so they were getting nervous.
"Hey girls yeah you can, I'm Naruto Hatake this is Pakkun and Sasukes cat Shadow nice to meet you all." I said holding out a hand in greeting, the girls looked at me and the only one to step up without flinching away was the pink haired girl.
"Sakura Haruno, this is Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga none of us have pets sorry if that upsets any of you." She looked shy when she said the last part as she shook my hand then the other girls shook my hand as well, Sasuke held out his and so did the others and just like that I had friends.
