Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto or any of it's characters!!

Warnings: This IS a song-fic, so if you don't like them, I probably wouldn't read this.

No pairings, just a father/son type of love between baby Naruto and teen Kakashi.

Kakashi gently rocked the newborn baby his sensei had left, Naruto Uzumaki, in his arms. It was still pouring down outside, but now it flashed lightning and roared thunder. Little Naruto was squriming in Kakashi's arms, crying loudly while his small fists waved a bit around him. Kakashi smiled and very gently laid Naruto in the crib that Yodamine had made for Naruto before he passed away. Baby Naruto whimpered and began crying more with his little fists against his eyes. Kakashi sat down on his bed beside Naruto's crib and pulled out his classic country guitar. He made sure it was tuned before after a few minutes he closed his eyes and began to softly sing, but loud enough for his voice to rise over the thunderstorm.....

"Little child, be not afraid

though rain pounds harshly against the glass

like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger

I am here tonight

Little child, be not afraid

though thunder explodes and lightning flash

illuminates your tear-stained face

I am here tonight

And someday you'll know

that nature is so

the same rain that draws you near me

falls on rivers and land

on forests and sand

makes the beautiful world that you'll see

in the morning

Little child, be not afraid

though storm clouds mask your beloved moon

and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams

I am here tonight"

Kakashi played out another soft tune as he heard little Naruto go silent and opened his eyes to see if he was asleep yet. Naruto had his deep, big sky-blue eyes staring up at him. Kakashi chuckled slightly and closed his eyes once more, continuing.....

"Little child, be not afraid

though wind makes creatures of our trees

and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand

and I am here tonight

For you know, once even I was a

little child, and I was afraid

but a gentle someone always came

to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears

and to give a kiss goodnight

Well now I am grown

and these years have shown

that rain's a part of how life goes

but it's dark and it's late

so I'll hold you and wait

'til your frightened eyes do close

And I hope that you'll know...

everything's fine in the morning

the rain'll be gone in the morning

but I'll still be here in the morning

.....My Little Naruto-Kun....."

Kakashi finished the song with a sentence of his own as he put a hand over his guitar strings to stop the music completely and once again glanced back at Naruto, who this time was curled up asleep as he gnetly sucked at his thumb. Kakashi smiled and put his guitar back underneath his bed before standing up and placing a small blanket around Naruto and kissing the top of his head.

"Goodnight my Baby....I will watch over you from now on, Naruto-kun....Sensei would have wanted that....even though I'm still a kid myself right now....oh well, I bet you'll be just like your Father.....sleep tight," he muttered to himself and the sleeping Naruto before slowly slipping into his bed and drifting off into a peaceful sleep thinking on how his Mother used to sing him that song all the time.....
