OOOOO

Dawning

"They're both sleeping soundly," Minato breathed silently as he joined his wife in bed. Kushina nodded while her eyes stayed trained on the book in her lap. Upon seeing what it was, Minato darkly chuckled.

"What's so funny?" she caught her husband mid laugh, "You don't believe in it anymore?"

"I didn't say that, stop accusing me," Minato said as he slipped under the sheets, "It's just time to look at reality, that book does more damage than it does good, it seems."

Kushina rolled her eyes and marked her page before putting the book on the stand beside her, "Iruka believes, I think that says something," Kushina retorted as she turned the lamp off and moved near her husband.

Minato shrugged, and closed his eyes as an attempt to immediately fall asleep.

"What is it?" Kushina suddenly asked, taking note of her husbands awkward body language, "something's been bothering you lately, hasn't it?"

Minato shrugged.

"What is it?" asked Kushina as she wrapped her arms around Minato's still form, "tell me."
He sighed, "I would've had to tell you sooner or later anyway...It's Kakashi."

"Hmm?" Kushina asked, "what does Kakashi have to do with your attitude?"
"He's coming to our house," Minato whispered, "to stay over the summer, he claims he needs an escape from his...his life."
Thud.

Minato grunted and cradled his head, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you!"

"Why would you not tell me something *thud*this *thud* IMPORTANT!?" Kushina roared at her husband, "what of Iruka!?"

"I know, I know, I know...I couldn't turn him down though. We can hide him though," Minato attempted to reason with the searing redhead, "we can talk to Iruka and Naruto about it tomorrow...we can even drag the Uchihas in to it as well, they can help too!"

Minato braced himself for another slap, hit or whatever methods of punishment his wife had coming from him, but instead of a continuations of whacks, her hand fell limply on his side again.

Phew. But his wife was unhappy.

"Kakashi's a proud supporter of the chancellor's party, of the Nazi Party!" Kushina argued, "what if he gathers suspicion!?"

"I'll work on it," Minato attempted to reassured, "I'll keep him safe."
"You had better. If anything happens to him...if he's discovered, and we don't happen to be killed, which we will be...then Naruto won't forgive you for allowing Kakashi into this house. I won't forgive you if Iruka suffers because of Kakashi...and you know, you know if Kakashi finds him, he'll lie or something so we don't be sold out. He'll sacrifice himself for us...Do you understand, Minato?"

"And I already told, I've got it," he replied rather annoyed, why couldn't Kushina just trust him?

For once?
"Whatever, you just should've told me before you went ahead and "okayed" his stay," Kushina grumbled, "could've prevented a grim outcome."

"I'm sorry," he replied blandly, attempting to drown her out with sleep.
"I can forgive you...in time. But, when is he coming?"

"..."

"Minato"

"..."

"MINATO!"

"Two days to a week..."

The punching resumed.
OOOOO

Kakashi was a mess. He'd torn his sheets, shot holes in the ceiling, broken glasses and plates. Like a tasmanian devil, he'd torn through his home in a fit of blind rage with a side of alcohol. And now he lay collapsed atop of his bed, dry tear marks stiffening his cold face, only waiting to be thawed by the waterfall that was sure to continue to flow.

The maids would have a ton to clean...or wait...hadn't he given them vacation.

Never had he imagined that being without Yamato would be such a challenge, would be such a heartache.

It wasn't love though, what he and Yamato shared was lust, and just that.

But upon thinking of the younger man, his heart ached. How was he fairing with this, how was Yamato fairing. He knew how damaged the other was, but he knew how damaged he was as well.

Building a relationship purely based on lust would destroy both of them. It would kill them. Therefore, Kakashi believed what he had done was justified, even if it didn't feel like it at the moment.

On the brighter side, he looked forward to his upcoming vacation. He had much to discuss with his Sensei. Minato, aside from practically being fostered by the man, had acted like a mentor to Kakashi, one he confessed all of his troubles and secrets to.

The man had a family now, a very nice family. Kakashi was acquainted with them somewhat, at least his wife. Therefore, it wouldn't be entirely awkward.

Thoughts of Yamato singed his heart though, so much to the point that thinking about the country wasn't even enough to wane his pain.

Clutching his chest, he closed his eyes tightly, not wanting the tears to stain his face again.

But it was too late, it was to no avail, the floodgates opened once more.

OOOOO
The sound of running water woke the blond.

Awkwardly, he twisted himself from his position on the floor. The form tightly pressed to his body, his teacher, was no longer near him. Iruka couldn't sleep last night, he was still a little shaken up.

But who wouldn't be? Well, what gypsy wouldn't be if some blue eyed blond haired child was hovering above him? He'd terrified his teacher.

Therefore, he'd decided to stay in the room with Iruka for a while longer and eventually, he embraced the older man and fell asleep by him. He'd rather they be in a bed, his hips and arms were usually left sore as a result of sleeping on the hard floor. But, he never would turn his teacher down, especially if he was in need. Iruka disliked sleeping in beds though, Naruto blamed it on the fact that he hardly had a real one to sleep in.

Therefore, it became more of a habit to sleep on the floor.

That's how their teacher had explained it.

The water stopped.

Naruto perked up and looked over the bed. After a minute or two, the door creaked open, and a cloud of steam seeped through the entrance. Slowly, a silhouette stalked through the cloud. Naruto stared on. He'd been entranced by his teacher's form many times before, by the appearance of exocticness and mysteriousness.

It was the gypsy blood. Naruto was enchanted by their looks, he remembered when he was little and the gypsies were still in Germany, they'd go through the town. When not being shielded by their "thieving tactics", he'd look at them and just simply admire how beautiful and how different they were. He personally had never been the victim of any gypsy crimes, but his parents had in the past and others he knew.

Iruka wasn't like the "other's" though, he was kind and intelligent, extremely intelligent.

"You're staring," the soothing voice of his teacher called out. Naruto looked up from his place behind the bed as Iruka rested on top of it, "Into space."
"I"m not staring into space, i'm staring at you," Naruto chided, "you smell nice."

Iruka smiled, his student was always so straightforward. Iruka's wet hair soaked the sheets of the bed, and he pulled his bathrobe tightly around him as a cool breeze blew through the basement.

"If you were someone else, i'd question your mental health," Iruka joked, "but you're Naruto...Naruto who has to get ready for classes"

"Ugh, I hate school and I hate it even more since you're not teaching!" he pouted, "and these stupid Hitler Youth groups! I mean...They're so pointless, do you know they abolished the church group mom used to force me to go to? Or that this "Youth Group" has stopped anyone else from making any kind of fun clubs! I mean, i got sucked into it by accident, and now I run home as fast as I can afterschool just to escape it...What's happening to Germany, Iruka?"

Iruka just stared into the anguished eyes of his former student. He could answer that, not in a way Naruto would like.

"I don't know," he finally replied, "It's not safe anymore."

Naruto nodded in agreement, "And what about you? When do you think you can walk into town again, or teach again, when do you think it'll be safe for you to come out?"

Iruka shrugged, "Let's hope it's soon," he said happily, though honestly, he believed he'd be confined to the basement for his entire life. Or, worse case scenario, the basement would be raided and he'd be taken.

Naruto could see the worry in his eyes. He knew that nothing he said could reassure the man that nothing was going to happen, there were no promises that needed to be kept.

"Yeah, let's hope so."

OOOOO

Dear Sasuke,

Hello my Dearest Cousin, it's been a while, has it not? How have you been, how is it living in Germany? Has your Japanese gotten better since we last met as a family, or do I still need to translate for you at family gatherings? How is the rest of the family doing, including the maid? I plan to visit you soon, but when, i'm not entirely sure. I'll bring Mada-nii with me, i'll drag him along if I have to. However, working in an Army base isn't easy, in fact we hardly get any time to rest. It's taken me weeks just to write this letter, and still, I simply cannot put the words that float around my brain into this single piece of paper. I'll try to write more, but as of now, my time is short.

Sincerely,

Your Cousin, Izuna Uchiha

Sasuke smiled as he read the post. He'd received the letter a year ago, and a year ago, the war hadn't started. Things had been safe, sort off, but now it was suicide for an englishman to travel to Germany.

Izuna's story was complicated. Despite being born in Japan, for reasons unknown to Sasuke, Izuna had been separated from his brother and shipped off to Europe at an early age.

He'd heard that the separation anxiety had been terrible.

However, now wasn't the time to muse over things of the past, school started in less than an hour. He'd have to get a head start if he wanted to arrive on time, as they lived far away from the city.

Fiddling his chopsticks in his rice, Sasuke sighed and put the paper on the table. He missed his cousins.

"Sasuke, hurry up," the cold and distant monotone voice of his brother lassoed him from his thoughts, "we all need to head out, Naruto will be here shortly."

Sasuke stood up, "Yeah, where's mother and father?"

"Tending to the yard with Sora," he replied smoothly, "although Sora is ready to go to school as well. Like I said, we need to head out soon."

Sora was the maid, adopted by the Uchiha family at a very young age, she was practically like a daughter to Fugaku and Mikoto, and a sister to Itachi and Sasuke, though Sasuke guessed she was something different with Itachi.

There house was the typical European style house, though Mikoto had added a touch of Asia to it just so it felt like home.

Sasuke bent down and grabbed his satchel, "Let's go get Sora and leave."
OOOOO

"Bauernfruhstuck again...?" Naruto grunted as he stared at the hearty breakfast on the table, "I think i'll skip."

"Eat," Minato replied blandly. Naruto grunted as he stared directly opposite of the table end where his father sat with a newspaper open wide, "you need your strength."

"If you're talking about HItler Youth, you should know that i'm skipping it...I don't have any time for it, or any intention of continuing it."

Minato rolled his eyes as he looked at his son poke around his plate, "You will eat your breakfast," he replied blandly, "now."

"No," Naruto replied at his father's sudden serious tone, "what's wrong with you?"
"Minato is just stressed," Kushina called from the sink as she washed the dishes, "and...well...there's been a situation that's arisen. A situation that's most likely going to put our lives in jeopardy."

Naruto paused, a feeling of dread rising in the pit of his stomach,"How so?"

Minato sighed, and looked at the back of Kushina, her shoulders were sagging.

"I have an old friend coming to visit," he began as he folded the newspaper and looked intently at Naruto.

"And...what's the big deal, it's not like this friend is a danger to Iruka...is he?"

Silence.

Minato cleared his throat, "He's a supporter of the Nazi party...a very proud supporter, high in the social class..."

"Why would you allow him to stay?!" Naruto blurted at the stupidity of his father, "why didn't you talk to all of us about this?" Naruto looked towards Kushina, and then back towards Minato.

"I'm sorry for acting without your consent, but Kakashi...he's special," Minato answered somewhat defeated.

Kushina sighed, "We watched him when he was younger, honey. Way before you were born...it would've been hard to decline him."

Naruto huffed, "So, Kakashi's his name...And what about Iruka, what'll he do?"

"He'll stay in the basement, we'll keep Kakashi away from him..."Minato responded sadly, "Hopefully we'll come up with a game plan in a week or less."

"A week or less, Dad? Are you crazy?" Naruto roared, "this wasn't well planned out now was it_"

A knock on the door silenced the bickering child.

"Looks like Itachi's here to take you all to school," Kushina spoke softly and looked towards her son, "don't worry Naruto, we'll make sure things don't get outta hand, okay."

Though hesitant, Naruto nodded, "Can we talk about this later though? You know, with everyone?"

"Yeah, i'm sure Fugaku's family could help out as well," another knock sounded, and Minato sighed, "we'll all talk when you get back from school...try to avoid the boys who're rounding you up into those youth groups, come straight home if you can. NO PRANKING!"

Naruto flashed a smile, nodded and quickly headed out of the door.

OOOOO

A sly smile crept on the face of the young german man. His piercing blue eyes demanded respect of any who crossed his path.

Long blond braided hair blew behind him in the wind, and the man stepped with rhythm as he patrolled the town for his favorite couple of brother's to bully.

Had their father not been a rich and well respected man, then his bullying would have surely gone over the top.

But, Deidara didn't like the Uchiha's here, in his city, in his country, and planned to make their living in Germany so terrible that they'd run back to Japan with their tails between their legs.

And Itachi...that arrogant bastard, he had yet to think of a way make the Jap break.

Despite the fact that their countries were indeed interlocked in the axis powers, Deidara didn't have to like their oriental asses, nor did he have to tolerate that smug look given to him by Itachi when they encountered each other in the market.

He couldn't understand why his girlfriend use to fawn over their looks so much, especially that of the younger brother.

"We're gonna be late!" the familiar voice of the blond traitor called.

"Kuso! Remember, the building was moved after the air raid, we're going the wrong way!" that accent struck a cord in Deidara's mind, and immediately his smile broadened.

"I remember it was this way, come on Itachi," the redhead, the Irish traveller called. That was their maid, an outsider just like Sasuke and Itachi.

Deidara smirked as he headed their way, harassment solid on his mind.

OOOOO

Sorry if it seems like it get's worse and sloppy towards the end, i'm just tired.

The relationship between Naruto and Iruka is not a romantic kind. It's the admirable, brother relationship. As for my information on gypies, and how they're being spoken of in the story...I hope it doesn't upset anyone, but other than researching about gypsies, i've seen the steroetypes applied to them in real life. I've also seen gypsies before, and honestly, I think that some of the stereotypes floating around them (while not all of them can be proven wrong), they're like everyone else, kinda misjudge.

If it isn't obvious, Deidara is prejudice to other races. Sora, the maid (i'll write more about her) is Irish, Itachi and Sasuke are both Asian, he refers to them as "Japs", and Naruto, in Deidara's mind is a traitor because he hangs around them. Fear not, he is like this for a reason, and i'll explain later.

Also, can you guess he Deidara's girlfriend is? You'll find out next chapter.

...I forgot what...Oh yea, in next chapter, you'll see more of Naruto and Sasuke's and Sora's school life, social classes will be big, we'll find out more about Iruka's past, the Namikaze's and the Uchiha's will have a big discussion about Kakashi, Kakashi will miss Yamato some more and he will finally arrive. Other than that, there's nothing else, so, God bless :D
