Moonwolf: Second chapter.…nice
Kakashi: soooo….what's gonna happen now…I mean you gave Naruto fox ears and tail
Moonwolf: oh that's not all Kaka-san (smirks) after all…who said Naruto is going to be…. Normal in behaviour (laughs evilly)
Kakashi: why do I feel like disaster is coming my way (in despair)
Naruto what?
Kakashi lent against the hospital wall, for once not reading his orange book as he waited…and waited for news from his Hokage about Naruto's condition. It had been many hours since the blond had gained the extra attachment and Kakashi had been forced to send his team home. The other sensei's to had to do this but Kurenai, Asuma and Gai was waiting with him. The light over the door was suddenly out and the copy-nin stood straight as the others focused on the door.
Out stepped Tsunade followed by a tired looking Shizune, she looked over them before stopping on Kakashi "well….the gaki has managed to land in trouble again, the ears and tail wont go away and there seems to be something wrong with his mind" at Kakashi's and the others wide eyed and panicked looks she hastened to explain "he's not cracking but…well its best for you to see"
She dismissed Shizune back to the office before leading Kakashi to a room that had been specially assigned to the blond. But when they arrived in the room there was no one on the bed. At first Kakashi panicked, thinking that someone had abducted his student but Tsunade just sighed and knelt down, looking under the bed "Naruto could you please come forth…Kakashi is here to see you" the big busted lady's voice was coxing and gentle.
Kakashi slowly knelt down and looked under the bed to and there he was. Naruto… under the bed with a blanket, the whole thing looking very like a den…a fox den. The realisation hit him like a ton of bricks "Hokage-sama… had the jutsus made him act like a animal to?" his voice was concerned as he dimly hoped for a negative answer but no such luck. Tsunade just nodded "he is… Kakashi" she sent one of her number one Shinobi's a stern look "he cant stay alone anymore… and I am now giving you the mission of looking after the boy"
Kakashi just nodded dumbly, still staring under the bed. He slowly but surly crawled close until he heard a low growling, then he stopped and held up a hand towards the bed waiting for Naruto to come out. All the while he was gently and soothingly talking, trying to coxing the blond out. He was quite aware of the others gazes boring into his back as he talked but then Naruto started to crawl forward, sniffing the air.
Like a careful animal, he was slowly coming towards his sensei, his sky eyes constantly skipping between the people in the room. Kakashi held still as Naruto came closer, smelling his hand before rubbing against it. First then did Kakashi move, his hand moving to scratch the fox ears "that's it Naruto…see, I can be trusted" he smiled behind his mask as Naruto made a yipping sound 'so he's like a fox then'
Kakashi gently pulled Naruto close before lifting him up into his arms like he had earlier. Despite Naruto's age and the amount of ramen he consumed he was surprisingly light… almost to the edge that concerned Kakashi "I'll take him with me now… is that alright?" Tsunade who had stood bemused to then nodded "it seems he trust you more then anyone so… just take him with you, thought be careful" her golden eyes darkened "Kyuubi might be closer to the surface now, so keep your senses alert Kakashi and report if something happens"
Kakashi nodded but stiffened slightly as Naruto nuzzled against his neck through the clothes he wore. Tsunade snickered softly "my my…isn't he affectionate?" she smirked before reaching out to pet Naruto's blond head. The reaction was instant. Naruto lunged over Kakashi's shoulder and scampered under the bed again.
Kakashi sighed "Tsunade-sama…I must kindly ask you to not do that, because it seems Naruto is on level with a wild animal… that's why I was so careful in the beginning, he needs to trust us" Kakashi knelt down by the bed again and started to extracted the blond again. He got a feeling that his day just got longer.
It had take over a hour to finally get Naruto out from under the bed and another two to get him to Kakashi's apartment. Either as normal human or as fox-human, Naruto was still a troublesome person and foxes were famous for being curios. The first thing that had happened when they had left the hospital was the cat that Naruto had started to chase, then there was those big granny trousers that had somehow ended up on the blonds head… no Kakashi decide not to think about it as he collapsed on the couch, Naruto quietly padding around the small space.
He covered his one eye with his arm as the other lay listlessly of the dark blue couch he owned. He was tired, perhaps not physical but mentally and emotionally. Suddenly something wet and warm touched his hand and he jumped. He stared into blue pools of innocence as Naruto stared back, the golden tail swinging back and forth behind him as the ears twitched on his head. Had the boy just…licked his hand?
Naruto's point of view
Naruto didn't know what was going on but he knew one thing. Silver (1) was taking care of him, but right now…Silver looked tired and sad. That sadden Naruto and he crawled over to his protector with his ears dropping. He licked Silvers 'paw' and watched as Silver jumped, the grey eye wide. At first Naruto thought he had done something wrong but then a soft chuckling sounded through the room. Naruto liked the sound… the sound was nice like Silvers smell and Silvers voice.
Naruto yipped before crawling onto the couch with Silver, feeling the other tense as he did so. Did not Silver like Naruto? Naruto cuddled into the other as Silver relaxed, one paw was lazily stroking his ears and Naruto purred happily. Naruto liked Silver…Silver was warm, he was comfy, smelt nice and were gentle with him. Another hand joined but this one was stroking his back and it all felt sooo nice…oh so very nice.
Naruto yawned softly. He was tired, he closed his eyes and nuzzled into Silvers shoulder as he nodded of to dream land.
Normal point of view
Kakashi sighed as he continued to stroke Naruto's hair. This was quickly becoming very strange he thought as Naruto's tail were brushing his leg. That was not to say that Kakashi wasn't enjoying this…on the contraire he loved being able to hold the kawaii fox boy close to himself but he wanted Naruto be clear over it "I wish…you knew how I felt Naruto…but its so hard to…say" he heaved another sigh and used one of his hands to pull down his mask. Leaning down he pressed a butterfly kiss onto Naruto's forehead.
He nuzzled into the soft blond tresses as he rubbed golden fox ears "perhaps…after this…I'll gather the courage I'll need?" it was going to be a long night he felt it on him but…perhaps not to bad of a night if the heat of Naruto pressed against him would feel this nice.
