KAKASHI POV
I was having a pleasant dream beside my beloved wife Anko. It was three in the morning a time when normal humans were a sleep. Well tell that to our new son Sasuke. His clan was just killed and the Hokage placed him in Anko and I care.
Slowly I arrows from the bed. My walk turned into a sprint when the whimpering became screaming for deer life. This kid had gone through so much and now he is living with two adults who don't have a clue about kids. This was goanna end well.
" Ahhhh!" Tears streamed down his small fragile face. He wouldn't wake up. His fingers were pushed into his hands and now bleeding badly. His sheets were no better then he was, covered in blood just as he. Now he started to mumble. " Please no. No they didn't do anything. Why? Why big brother? Why did you do this?" No kid needed to go through something like that. Uchiha or not a seven-year-old is tender and should be looked after not tortured like this.
I picked up the kid off his bed and rocked him in my arms as I took him to the bathroom to wash him up. Anko now stood in the bathroom door watching me and helping me clean his hands. Yet through the whole thing the boy didn't wake up. He just lay in my arms mumbling. " Shhh Sasuke. Wake up it's okay. Anko and I are here." I whispered into his ears. The younger ones eye began to flutter open.
" Kakashi? Anko?" was all that left his lips for the first time in days. He said it not in surprise but in relief knowing we were here to protect him.
" Yes." Anko nodded here head rubbing his cheek. She was good with him. Hell she was amazing with him. She acted like he was her son and nothing was going to touch Sasuke on her guard.
Sasuke seem to notice that he was being held like a baby in my arms and started to struggle. I let him climb down and star into my eyes. I didn't know why he did but that's all he did was star. I wanted to ask but then he started to speak. " Listen I know the last thing you two wanted was me so you don't need to be wasting your time because the Hokage said so. I can take care of myself so you two just pretend I'm not here if you want. I don't mind, I'm used to being alone." He turned his back on us and began to walk away.
By reaction I grabbed Sasuke by the shoulder and pulled him toward Anko and I. We both embraced the young boy. " Sorry Sasuke it doesn't work that way. You were placed under are care and we will take care of you. You're part of the family now kid, deal with it." I told him. I had my mask off so he could see my smile. I didn't mind him seeing me without it on, or Anko they both didn't even bother to talk about it to me so why wear it?
" I don't understand. Why would you want me? I just take up space and cost you more money. Plus we aren't even related, why go through all this for me?" He had on a face that made him look like a lost puppy.
" Because Sasuke like I said we are a family now. Blood or no blood between us you are now our son and that's that." A look of shock appeared on his tiny little face. Anko had her arm around his shoulder while I was bent down in front of him at his level.
" Did you just say I was your son?" He whispered with hope.
" Only if you want to be. I mean we would be happy to be your mom and dad. Just be prepared for some screw-ups. We have never done this before." Anko replied for me.
Sasuke smiled at us two. That was the first time in the month that he spent with us that he smiled. " Yes. Yes I want to be your guys son." He seemed so happy now that I forgot to ask about his dream. I would do that after this.
" Then we all agree. Sasuke tomorrow we will take you to see the Hokage and it will be official." Anko was beaming just like Sasuke. I was going to be a father tomorrow! I always wanted a son. Just to teach new jutsu's to and train with. I already loved Sasuke but now it can be real family love.
" Good now Anko go back to bed I'll finish up here. Sasuke come with me." I said gently like a father talked to a two-year-old. Sasuke and Anko both did as told and soon I was in the young boys room. " Sasuke here." I lifted him onto his bed ad tucked him in. That's when a scared look found it's self on Sasuke's face.
" Sasuke what wrong?" I asked.
" Kakashi I know you will be my dad tomorrow but I still see them. I see them die over and over again. And it just keeps getting worse." I was now holding him to my chest rubbing his head.
" Sasuke it's okay to be afraid things like that are scary stuff. Everyone has nightmares. Even the strong are scared at one point." ' So that's what he dreamt of. His family getting slaughtered.' Sasuke had tears in his eyes that he was battling to keep in. "Sasuke it's okay. Let your tears fall. I won't tell anyone. I promise." With that Sasuke pushed his face deeper in my chest and cried. I pulled his face out and wiped every tear away.
Soon the young on had pulled it together and stopped crying. I tolled him I would stay with him until he fell asleep. And I did. After fifteen minuets with his eyes shut I left the room.
" Remember Sasuke, even the strong are scared at one point. Also I will always love you, my son."
