Konoha Circus

Author Note: Warning: Main pairing is KakaNaru, so that means Yaoi.

Chapter one

The knives hit the red spots on the wood; they even hit the center of the red spots. The man didn't wear a shirt and when he was throwing the knives he tightened his muscles. The muscles in his arms were stout en covered with sunburned skin on which little drops of sweat slipped down. On his fore-arm were little light hairs and there were tendons to be seen.

Naruto's view moved to the back of the man, the broad shoulders and the muscles that elected themselves through the skin. Naruto was cleaning the stables of the elephants and caught himself looking at the man, observing. He quickly stopped en walked on. He reached for a big straw bale and tried to roll it forwards. It was very heavy and he grumbled to himself.

He froze when a voice very close to his ear asked: 'Do you need any help?' and then: 'Did I scare you?'

Naruto turned around saw the man and stuttered: 'Euh, n-no you d-didn't'.

'Shall I help carrying?'

'Yes, please.'

Although Kakashi always wore a mask that covered everything below his eyes, Naruto just knew that his face was beautiful. Hey wait... What makes me think that kinda things?

Kakashi had two different colored eyes and a scar on the left one, from his eyebrow till underneath the mask. His hair was grey, not because he was old – he wasn't – but it had always been that way. Kakashi didn't use any hair product other than shampoo but his hair seemed to defy gravity. Naruto wish he could touch it and bury his nose in it... wait what?

Why am I thinking this way about Kakashi? Do I like him? Like liking somebody? As in finding him attractive?'And kind and handsome and sexy' He thought. Realizing what he just thought he shook his head trying to make that thought leave his mind. No, he wasn't attracted by this guy he decided. I can't be gay.

At the stables they placed the bale on the ground and then Naruto start to spread the straw in the stables. Kakashi said 'Bye' and walked away with virile steps. Naruto watched him go away, his eyes found the man's ass, such a perfect ass, and he sighed. Maybe he did like the man.

Flashback

After his parents died Naruto was send in to an orphanage, but he left when he was ten. He had always been bullied by the other kids and the people that worked there also weren't very nice to him. When he was ten he walked away, he started to wander. He moved from place to place, sometimes stayed for a few week at someone's home, but after a while they kicked him out and he had to go somewhere else. He had been kicked by strangers, had been fighting with drunk wanderers because he accidently slept under their bridge. He had nobody to rely on, and when he saw children of his age going to school he was jealous, sometimes he cried. Once he said hi to a boy near a school and then he was been shouted at by the boy's mom. 'Stay away from my son! You trash!'

'Why do people treat me like that?' he thought. He never did anything wrong to them.

Another time he was begging for money and children of his age threw coins at him and called him names. He ran away, left the money on the ground, just ran away so that they couldn't see his tears.

'Hey kid.' He was sitting on a bridge, his legs bungling down and he was staring in the water. He looked up and saw a woman standing there. She knelt down and began to speak to him.

'I have seen you several times around here, outside, on your own. Where are your parents?'

'In heaven,' he said, although he was not quite sure if there was such a place. He hoped there was.

'Ow… I am sorry to hear that.' He expected her to leave, people didn't like sad stories. But she sat down and looked at him, her eyes were asking him to go on. He told her that he never had known his parents, that he had lived in an orphanage, that he had walked away one day and that he was living on the streets since then. 'Where do you live from?'

'From what people give me.' He didn't want to tell her that he stole food sometimes when he didn't have enough money.

They started talking and he discovered that the woman, Tsunade, was director of a travelling circus. She was a little weird, had huge breasts and wore a green coat with the verb 'gambler' on the back. She said he could join them, or at least could eat with them that day. Soon they discovered that he liked the animals, and because he had nowhere else to go he could stay with them. He would feed the animals and clean their cages and he would give a helping hand when needed. Soon the boy was part of the (somewhat strange) community.
