Mmf you know the drill. I don't own Naruto

This will be my first Fanfic ever so don't tease please? Some characters might be OOC. This is a Yaoi, prolly a short one at that. Don't like it? Don't read. Its just some Angsty stuff right now.

Ratings change per Chapter

Rating-T Slight Swearing and Violence. Does damn really count as a swear?

This means character is either thinking or dreaming/thinking… Get it?

What are these feelings? Why do I feel like this around you sensei? … That one eyed smile, it always makes me happy. I don't know what to do. You'll probably reject me like everyone else. Who would love a monster? Their smiles, they seem so fake. Everyone laughs and jokes, would they still do so if they knew? You always ignore me, brush me off. Should I expect anymore from anyone? I don't know why I feel like this. You always take time for Sasuke and Sakura, but when it comes to me, you just make excuses. I try so hard to impress you, show you how much I've grown. But you don't even notice. Is it wrong of me to feel this way for you?... Kakashi sensei?

"Naruto… Naruto!"

"hhhmf…"

"Get up Naruto."

"mmm… Huh? What?... Oh, Kakashi Sensei… What are you doing here?"

"Do you even know where 'here' is?"

He's always so clueless. No wonder everyone calls him dead last. I'm amazed he's still a ninja, more so alive. He does have that… What's a good word for it? Idiotic charm? Whatever.

He looks around his surroundings, still a bit woozy from sleep. Dark circles around his eyes.

"How'd I get to the park? Why's it so dark out? Why are you watching me sleep?"

"One, you're and idiot and must have fell asleep on the way home. Two, its midnight. Thre-… HEY! DON'T GO TO SLEEP ON ME."

"Oh hi Kakashi Sensei… What are you doing here in my aparmnnf…"

God Damnit, he fell asleep again. I should just leave him here, he was pretty comfortable before I got here… My arms are filled with the newest volumes of Icha Icha Paradise... I guess he must be tired from all the missions Tsunade has been giving us. I haven't been getting much rest either. But then again, he has been fine alone all this time. I'll prolly regret this later...

Sigh...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This bed, it feels so soft. What's this smell? It smells sweet, can't think of what it is though. I feel like I'm… Like I'm finally… Home. Someone's coming, I don't want to get up yet, I'm addicted to this scent…

"I know you're awake Naruto, you really shouldn't sleep outside. I'll leave you there next time."

"…"

"Fine, don't get up, breakfast is on the table, remember to lock the door on your way out."

Naruto struggles slowly out of bed, getting one last breath of that sweet scent before getting fully out.

"Wait, was that Kakashi Sensei?... !!! I must have slept in his bed!"

Naruto walked around Kakashi's apartment taking it all in. He didn't know when he would ever be in here again. He wanted to memorize every detail, it most likely was his first and last chance he would have to be in here. He ate the breakfast Kakashi left him, it was only a little but he was happy that someone made breakfast for him at all. There was a note next to it; it read "You woke up late so I ate a few of your eggs. Serves you right. You know what they say; the early bird gets the worm!"

Did he actually care? Why didn't he leave me outside like everyone else? Where did he sleep while I was in his bed? I never knew he smelled so nice… Wait… Did he carry me to his apartment? And he made breakfast for me... Besides the fact that it was mediocre at best... He actually cares about me! Hmmm At least I hope he does... Ahhg! Too much thinking! My head hurts now!... No stop thinking brain, you'll fuel the fire!!! Ahhhh!

"Rasengan!"

"Chidori!'

Naruto and Sasuke charged directly at each other. They collided with an explosion. Sasuke's Chidori striking Naruto directly in the chest while Naruto's Rasengan hit Sasuke's left shoulder. The impact blew them apart, knocking out Sasuke in the process. Large amounts of blood flowed from his arm. Kakashi just came in time to see Sasuke hit the floor. Naruto's wound was slowly closing, the Kyuubi was healing the outside of the wound, but Naruto had heavy internal damage. Kakashi ran up to Sasuke and inspected him. He has a low pulse. Naruto watches in pain as Kakashi turns around and gives him a hateful glare.

"Naruto! How could you do this Sasuke? He's dying. You're a Monster!..."

Kakashi picked up Sasuke and started to head back to Konoha. Naruto tried with the last bit of his strength to keep up. It hurt him more than he expected to hear Kakashi call him that. It still hurt when the villagers called him a monster, but it hurt so much more when it came from Kakashi.

Naruto stumbled and fell over. He coughed up an excess amount of blood from his damaged lungs. Kakashi turned around and saw the blood everywhere. He then noticed the whole in Naruto's shirt and stared in shock. He quickly summoned on of his nindogs and ordered it to carry Sasuke to the hospital. He ran over to Naruto in silence.

"Kakashi…cough cough I'm cough sorry, I just wanted cough to be useful cough…"

Naruto passed out right after. Kakashi check his pulse, it was dangerously low.

"What have I done?... Please stay alive Naruto…"

They rushed to Tsunade. She brought him to the ICU and pushed Kakashi out.

"I don't know what happened Kakashi, but from the look on your face, it's your fault... If anything happens to Naruto, it's on your head."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present

Kakashi was in the hospital visiting Sasuke. He was about to be discharged. Kakashi planned to go visit Naruto right after and see how he was doing.

"Ok Naruto, you seem to have healed nicely. If it were not for the Kyuubi, you would have been dead. I'm glad you're safe now. Please be careful next time. You're free to go now."

"Thanks Shizune... I will"

Naruto left with a sad expression in his eyes, he was only visited once by Tsunade while at the hospital. He quickly left the hospital and ran to his apartment, hoping not to see him. Luck was on his side.

Kakashi just arrived at Naruto's room after he left.

"Where's Naruto, Shizune?"

"You just missed him."

Kakashi ran out to see if he could catch him. He was no where in sight. He headed for Naruto's apartments; he knew he'd find him there.

Naruto made it to his small apartment in one peace. The place was not as comforting as he though it would be when he got back. It just didn't feel like home to him, it never was. He thought back to what Kakashi said. He thought that Kakashi would have never done that to him. He clenched his chest; the hollow pain he felt was overwhelming. He broke down in tears. The only person who he thought actually cared about him let him down. His words were like daggers to Naruto.

What is my reason to live? I have no one to protect anymore. No one to look forward to seeing. All my precious people hate me. I'm a failure to them… I don't know what to do anymore… Why Kakashi sensei? I believed you would one day come through for me. One day see how much I've matured and grown. But you only see me as a monster like everyone else. What's the point anymore?...

Naruto reached for his kunai pouch and pulled one out. His hands shook violently and he pulled it up to his throat. Tears streamed down his face. He closed his eyes and brought his hands forward… Nothing happened. He opened his eyes to see Itachi standing before him.

"Why are you here?"

"Because I can't let you die yet. You are needed so we can fulfill our goal."

"Do whatever you want… It doesn't matter to me anymore."

"That's a good boy, now just come with me."

Kakashi arrived at Naruto's apartment. He knocked on the door. No one answered. He banged on the door harder… He heard glass shattering. He broke down the door and ran to Naruto's room and saw him and Itachi heading out the window.

"Clumsy oaf, watch where you're stepping next time. If you left dirt on my cloak…"

"Naruto! What are you doing with him?"

Kakashi saw the tears in Naruto's eyes.

"Nothing you would care about."

Itachi activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and caught Kakashi in his trap.

"I've got Naruto wrapped around my fingers… I guess I can thank you for that Kakashi…"

This is a really short Chapter, but yeah whatever.

I don't really know all the little Japanese sayings and the Jutsus and stuff. So if anyone could help me out with those… THEY WOULD BE LOVED!

R&R? Tell what I'm doing good, bad, or whatever... I think I suck at this... Anything helps: It'll help me get going? NO FLAMES PLEASE. I personally think Kakashi and Naruto are Hawt together.
