"He seems to be fine, just a wound on his nose, thats going to scar" Cold fingers made goose bumps appear on slightly tanned skin, the young boy was laying down on a hospital bed, a bandage on his nose, a small hand gripped tightly to a teens green vest.
A pale hand going to remove it, but a whimper could be heard every time, a heavy, tired sigh came from masked lips, a nurse looked up and smiled warmly.
"He's extremely lucky you was coming home that way Kakashi-san" The person called Kakashi nodded, running a dirty hand through his grey wild hair. "Let's try and take him off your vest shall we?" the woman moved around, grabbing the boys hand, tugging at it lightly, the whimpers grew louder and the boys grip tightened, the woman sighed.
"I'm sorry Kakashi, but it seems he feels safe with you, from what you had told me, he may be a little attached" a cole eye glided to look at the boy laying down,
"fine, I'll take him home, then when he wakes up tomorrow I'll come back" The nurse nodded, watching the silver teen carry the boy bridal style. She chuckled at seeing both hands connected to the green vest, and the body snuggling in tightly, Kakashi only groaned before hopping out of the hospital's window, disappearing in the darkness.
Kakashi looked down at the body he was carrying, snorting
He's eleven? When I was eleven I had already killed many men and he looses consciousness from a little cut?
Kakashi landed near a door, tapping it slightly with his foot, it pushed open, revealing a pug dog.
"Kaka-You brought the kid?"
"Yes he won't let go" Closing the door behind him, he strolled down his dark hallway making his way into his bedroom, slowly he walked over to the bed, thinking of all the possible ways to go and wash without having the boy cry.
"Pakkun come over here" Said dog walked over to his master, looking a little confused "Lay on the bed, I need you to replace me while I wash" Pakkun frowned,
"I'm not a Teddy bear, I'm only small-" A cold glare was burning into the pugs head, "Fine Fine" the dog jumped up to the bed and laid down, making himself extremely comfortable, Kakashi lowered the sleeping body, the hands gripping onto the vest still, Kakashi let out an irritated growl,
"Put your paw on him or something" Pakkun rolled his eyes and placed his paw on the boys stomach, Said boy let one hand fall onto the paw and then the other hand connected to the green vest dropped.
"That was easy, to think you nearly got beat by a kid" Kakashi rolled his eye while taking off his head band and vest throwing them to the floor,
"When I come back, I want you off my bed"
"Yeah Yeah I understand"
Hearing the running of water as the shower turned on, Pakkun watched the boy next to him, wondering why someone was out to kill this boys family, as well as him, knowing that the boy and his parents couldn't have been ninja's he felt a little sorry for him.
Never seeing how the ninja world works for most of your life and then suddenly witnessing your family's death, I won't be surprised if he becomes unstable when he's older, or after he wakes up.
Footsteps made its way into the bedroom, a clean refreshed teen stood by the door frame drying his hair, looking at Pakkun being cuddled by the boy.
"Hey Kakashi, looks like I can't get off the bed, his grip won't let go of me" A small grin appeared on the pug's face, Kakashi sighed throwing the towel on top of his discarded uniform, moving over to sit on the edge of his bed, he frowned, it didn't feel right, but either way he had to endure it.
"Move over a little will you" the silver haired boy pushed at the pugs head,
"Oww I can't move, there- will you stop it!" Kakashi chuckled lightly before turning on his side to face, both Pakkun and the boy.
Brown eyes opened, still in a daze, sitting up slightly, looking around the room he was in, he froze, where was he?
"Oi Kakashi, the kids up!" the brown haired boy looked over to where the voice was coming from, wide eyed when he saw a talking pug, said pug looked up at the boy and winked "Hey kid"
The next thing, a scream echoed through the small apartment, making Kakashi drop his glass, his eye brow twitching ever so slightly, forgetting the glass, he paced back into the bedroom.
"Pakkun I told you not to do that!" Iruka who was sitting in the corner of the room, looked frantic, looking back and forth at the two strangers.
"I'm sorry kid, but its rude not to greet someone in the morning" Kakashi finished glaring at the dog laying on his bed and looked over at the terrified child.
"W-Who are you?!"
"My names Kakashi Hatake, I saved you last night, you wouldn't let go of me so I had to bring you back to my place" Iruka looked over at the boy infront of him, realizing that this boy wasn't much older than him "Now no need to be afraid, this pug on the bed also helped you" said pug picked up his paw in some sort of greeting.
"What's your name kid" Pakkun jumped off the bed and walked over to the child sitting in the corner.
"I-Iruka Umino" he whispered, looking a little sad "So what happened was...real?" Pakkun looked at his young master, Kakashi looked clueless,
"Sorry kid" Pakkun nudged the boys hand with his head, the boys tanned hand lifted and rubbed the pugs head,
"You hungry?" Pakkun looked up at Kakashi "Not you Pakkun, Iruka?" Iruka nodded, standing up slightly, he looked down at his blood stained clothes, "I searched your house, and found some clothes for you, in the bag by the front door" Once again the boy nodded and slowly followed Kakashi out of the room, Pakkun following behind.
Iruka followed the pug into the kitchen, seeing a plate with toast on it, and jars of different jams and butter placed neatly on the table. Iruka looked up at the teen leaning against the counter.
"I hope you like Toast, breads all that I have, If not I'll take you out to eat"
"Thank you Hatake-san, I don't mind toast" A small smile formed on the boys face and he sat down, opening a jar of strawberry jam. Kakashi walked out of the kitchen and kneeled down to the pug.
"What you going to do kid?"
"Well when he's finished that, I'll take him back to the hospital and then the kid leaves?"
"Where's he gonna go? If you remember, the only reason we noticed something was up,was from the bodies scattered all over the place" Kakashi frowned
"They will figure something out"
"Kid what if he doesn't want to leave you?"
"He awake now, he has no choice" Both turned their attention to the boy standing beside them.
"Hatake-san, I washed up the plate, but I don't know where the jars go" Kakashi stood up
"You didn't need to wash up"
"If I didn't it would be rude of me" he looked to the floor, whispering "Thats how my parents brought me up" Pakkun sighed, Kakashi scratched his head,
"Well Iruka go get your things, I'm going to take you to the hospital, to check out the wound on your nose, and then we're going to see what their going to do with you" Iruka nodded, strolling to the front door, picking up his bag of clothes, turning to face Pakkun,
"Bye kid, take care"
"It was nice meeting you Pakkun, thank you" Kakashi shoved the boy out of the door, and closed it.
"Iruka hold on to me" Iruka did as he was told, gripping onto the others navy sleeve, and in a poof of smoke they both landed in the hospital, Iruka was a little shaken from the weird experience,
"Ah Kakashi, Oh he's a awake" A pretty dark haired nurse looked down on the boy, Kakashi nodded, looking down when he felt the boys hand grip tighter to his sleeve.
"Come now, we have to check out your wound" She held out a hand, Iruka checked it out and then looked back up at Kakashi, who sighed rubbing his hair,
"Lead the way Aoi" The woman smiled and started walking, Iruka was checking the place out, seeing some patients bandaged up, his body started to shake again, Kakashi not knowing what to do, trying to think of what his parents would have done, but then nothing came to mind, unconsciously he hadn't realized his arm the boy was gripping hold of, had moved so his hand rested on the boys head. The shaking stopping, and the tanned hand moving to his vest, Aoi stopped and turned around,
"Sit on here hunny" the brown haired boy complied but bringing the teen along with him "Whats you name?" when the boy didn't answer she looked up at Kakashi wryly,
"Iruka Umino" Kakashi said, wondering why the boy suddenly went mute,
"Ah that a nice name, okay I'm going to take off your bandage and clean your wound, see if it's made any progress of healing and then put a fresh bandage on it" a warm smile formed on her face, while Iruka slowly nodded. She left the room leaving the two of them in silence, Kakashi holding back a sigh, while his eye roamed the white room.
"Hatake-san?"
"Hmm?"
"What will happen to me?" A cole looked over to meet two brown ones, looking slightly lost, afraid and alone.
"I don't know, thats why we're here" Kakashi spoke a little to harshly, Iruka looking down, nodding.
"..Sorry.." his brown eyes looked back up to see the woman enter the room again, holding some disinfectant and a new bandage, her creamy hand slowly moved towards the boys face, he flinched and jerked his body back, she pulled away her hand, looking a little worried.
"Hunny I have to take the bandage off, I won't hurt you, the disi-" Kakashi sigh interrupted her,
"Hand me the Disinfectant and the little wipe" the woman nodded, handing it over to him, Iruka turned to face him, watching the bored looking eye, as a pale hand slowly took off the bandage, the boy twitched at the slight pain running through his face. Kakashi peeled off the bandage ignoring the twitches he was getting, and looked at the wound, some parts scabbed and some parts still tender and sensitive.
"Hmm yes that will definitely scar, what was he trying to do?" Iruka shut his eye tight, trying to ignore the conversation, his eyes watering from the pain of the air hitting his wound and the thoughts of his parents.
"Erm Aoi, I may not be an expert at comforting and such, but talking about it infront of the person surely cannot help" Aoi smiled apologetically, before retreating out of the room. Kakashi grabbed the disinfectant and the wipe, soaking it in the liquid, before running it along the cut, the boy bit his lip, his teeth breaking the skin, making blood burst through,
"Oi stop that, I'll try and do it quickly" Iruka nodded, feeling the slight burning on his wound, and the cold fingers on his cheek while holding the boys head in place.
When Aoi came back, Kakashi was just putting a fresh bandage on, Kakashi turned to see another person in the room, someone he hadn't seen before,
"Erm, Iruka, this is Takashi-san, he's here to take you to the orphanage, so he will take care of you from now on" Kakashi narrowed his eye, the man didn't seem right, Iruka started shaking, Takashi smiled walking towards the two,
"Iruka-kun come with me, I heard what happened" Kakashi stood up,
"Takashi-san, how long have you been in the village? I haven't seen you before"
"Well Hatake-kun, its a big village" Kakashi's eye glared,
"So it is, but that doesn't answer my question" Aoi stepped in,
"Kakashi, Takashi-san has been working in the Orphanage for many years, he knows how to handle children" Kakashi glided his gaze over to the woman, who stepped back a little,
"Yeah Hatake-kun, I can't just let Iruka-kun be left alone can I?" A sly smile formed on the mans dark, un trusting features, Iruka gripped onto the back of Kakashi's vest.
"He isn't alone, it seems like Iruka wont let go of me" Takashi looked over Kakashi's shoulder to see a trembling Iruka, joint to his green vest.
"Hmm...Iruka-kun will you let go of him? And come with me?"
His hairy hand darted towards the boy, Iruka bit onto it, making the man yelp, Kakashi looked a little taken back from Iruka's reaction, Takashi stumbled back, bleeding under his skin, his expression turning darker, Aoi gasped.
"I see, then Hatake you look after the boy, and then I'll send someone round to see how things are, but there is a time when you will have a mission and you won't be there to-"
"I am eleven years old, if my p-parents allowed me to stay at home alone for a while, then I'm sure Hatake-san can to" the harsh whisper sounded from behind Kakashi "T-Thats if he doesn't mind" Kakashi sighed, looking back on the child.
"Sure..I don't trust someone like Takashi, to look after anyone" Takashi grunted and walked out of the room, Aoi stood there looking a little shocked.
"Kakashi, if you want, I can come by and look after Iruka when I'm off duty" Kakashi looked up at the young woman, an eye brow arched.
"Why would you do such a thing?" The woman blushed,
"Well, Its an honorable thing you are doing, so I will try and watch over him when your not there" Kakashi nodded thanks, before turning round to face Iruka,
"C'mon then lets go...to your new home" Iruka smiled, something in Kakashi felt weird, but he brushed it off.
