I am sorry the chapters are kinda short┘ asap as I get some real ideas, I will make the chapters at least three times that long┘

Little Naruto was fast asleep. Somehow he felt comfortable on the rags that were his bed. He smiled. Minato on the other hand was still sobbing. He was tough man indeed, but when it came to emotions, he could either cry or be angry for a long period of time.
His gaze of "sorryness" never left the small beaten-up child. Although his condition was bad few hours ago, now he was quite okay.
"How could someone be in such a pain..."
"That it even could make the Kyuubi do, what he did..."
"How could I let this happen? How come I didn't see through it... all I did was I made his life unimaginably bad, and then left..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Minato woke up. He slowly opened his blue orbs. Across the room there he sat, Naruto, on the floor, watching the unknown man, who claimed to be a 'father'. Naruto did not understand the proper meaning of this word. No one ever explained such things to him. Even for his close people it was too troublesome to teach him about relations.
He didn't say anything. He didn't move at all. He only watched the man in his bed. Their gazes met. They were looking in each others eyes for a long period of time. What Minato saw made him cry.
Minato stood up ( on his four only... ) and crawled towards his shaken son.
"Don't... don't hurt me..." said Naruto
This made Minato cry even more.
"I am sorry... Naruto" he whispered. "I am so sorry..."
"You are not going to hurt me?"
"No... no Naruto... I am not going to hurt you. Never ever. I promise." he sobbed. It was truly emotional. "Do you know who I am, Naruto?"
The boy shook his head. He didn't particulary remember what happened last night.
Minato was still crawling towards Naruto.
"Father Naruto... I am your father..." This made him cry. He was not particulary proud of himself as a father. He failed his son. He failed his wife.
"F...father? But...t... My father is dead!"
"I was...until yesterday" After saying this, he was finally in front of Naruto. He took him into a tight hug. A hug expected from a father. Something that Naruto did never experience. The presence of the unknown man claiming to be his father made him feel relieved. It made his heart feel warmth. He was certain that this person wouldn't hurt him. His emotions were truthful.
"... Everyone said that my father hated me ..."
"Who exactly did? That's a lie Naruto... I would never... hate... you" Minato whispered
"Thats good... otou-san" ( father ) Naruto whispered and hugged his emotionally active father back.
-------------------------------------------------------
After few hours of a brief father-son introduction, and various hugs, cries, repeatings of being sorry, Minato decided, that it would be good to eat something, since his son looked like he was an anorectic. He actually found few of his casual clothes in few boxes that were left untouched in Naruto's closet. It was actually the only thing untouched. Probably because Naruto knew that these belonged to someone important. Minato made it so nearly no one would recognize him right away. It would be safer, since not many people know that he's alive.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Hey Naruto, are you 'kay? I bought you some ramen 'ya know" a man said
Little Naruto ran towards the door to open. This man was his only friend. The only one who actually dropped by several days a week. If it wasn't for him, he would be really dead by now.
Naruto opened the door, and grinned on the man. "Kaka! I missed 'ya!"
"Yeah Naruto, I missed you too." Said Kakashi
Naruto ran into the apartment. Kakashi walked in after him.
Kakashi noticed the man sitting on the chair with a cape over his head.
"Naruto! Who is this man? How come you let somebody in?" He yelled at Naruto who was in another room. Kakashi felt very insecure with the presence of a stranger in Naruto's apartment.
"I forgot... that's otou-san"
"Otou-san? What d'ya mean? Just who are you?" Said Kakashi, prepared to do whatever required.
The man in the cloak stood up.
"Long time no see, Kakashi" he whispered
In the very instant Kakashi dropped the bowls of ramen onto the floor.
"Can't be..."
The man removed the cape. His face was uncovered.
"Can't be..." - "Can..'t" Kakashi was in deep shock.
"This is how you greet your sensei, Kakashi?" Said Minato
"Can't be... you're not him! This is a trick right? Some henge? Tell me really who you are!"
"I am Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage and father of Uzumaki Naruto!"
"If you're not going to tell me the truth, I am going to beat it out of you! You will be sorry for insulting my sensei!" Kakashi yelled. It was a yell from anger and despair.
Kakashi started gathering chakra.
"Kakashi, stop..." whispered Minato.
"I am going to beat if out of you!" - "CHIDORI!"
Minato saw the he couldn't stop Kakashi from doing anything foolish. He prepared to counter the chidori.
"Rasengan!"
At the very moment the blue ball formed in his hand, Kakashi's chidori dissaparated. He kneeled.
"Sensei..." - "I am sorry" Kakashi tried to bow. In the very instant Minato laughed. He always did when something looked funny. To him, this actually was really funny... well not that funny, but he wouldn't cry, right?
"I... tought you were dead!" said Kakashi, sobbing a bit
"I was..."
"Then how...?" gasped Kakashi.
"Long story..." - "Not the most most important thing right now. I need to get my son fed. Looks like he haven't ate for a few days..." Kakashi nodded
"Ye..yeah, I am sorry... I would treat him but I was away from Konoha for two weeks..."
"Seems like you were the only one who cared, Kakashi..."
"Well... yeah... but I could've done more..."
"That doesn't matter now... just please don't tell anybody yet 'kay?"
"Hai, sensei" answered Kakashi, and left the apartment, since it seemed that his presence is not necessary anymore.
-------------------------------------------------------
Minato was walking the street of Konoha, hoping that he would still find a good restaurant. Naruto was holding his hand. They held each other tightly. Anyhow they did get nasty looks from almost everyone. They also didn't like the man in a black cape, for hanging out with the demon.
Minato tried to ignore this, it was hard. If he could, he would kick their asses already.
"Monster"
"Who are you? Why are you taking care of the monster?"
"Get out of here, demon!"
"Demon-lover, phe... "
The two just continued their way to find a comfortable place to get food. However they turned into a street, which was by all means, empty. It was only then that about ten people appeared.
"You. Give us the demon" Stated their 'leader'
"What are you talking about?" asked Minato
"The boy, who is holding your hand is a demon. It is his fate to by killed. Now give up the boy or you will die too." Stated the 'leader'.
This pissed Minato off.
There was a yellow blur and suddenly, the 'leader' recieved a kick in his gut.
"How dare you!" Whispered the 'leader'
"How dare you?" asked Minato.
"We need to put Konoha free. We will liberate it from the demon. Not today, as it seems. But he will die, soon or later, remember that, freak." said the 'leader' and members of the mob dissapeared.
Minato and Naruto continued their search for a good source for healthy food.
