Do you want him
Gotta slow up gotta shake
this high
Gotta take a minute just to ease
my mind
Cause if i don't walk then i get caught up
and i'll be fallin all the way
down

Kakashi woke up early that morning he looked down at the little boy who was holding him like his life was depending on it, he nudged Naruto on his back a little to wake him up '' Wha wewe em ba.'' said Naruto while he rubbed his eyes, '' shh hey Naruto it's okay your with me you don't need to worry.'' Naruto was looking around curiously until Kakashi poked him on the forehead '' Itee.'' a small smile formed on Kakashi's face as Naruto laid down on his chest again, he didn't know what it was but this good feeling was going around in his body while Naruto was with him was something he hadn't felt in a long time.
Hearing his stomach growling Naruto looked at Kakashi and he understood what it was the kid was hungry '' You hungry little man.'' Kakashi asked '' me ungy.'' Kakashi stood and leaved Naruto sitting on the bed, he took of his shirt and turned to Naruto '' Naruto before we eat we need to clean you up.'' Naruto only nodded not really understanding what Kakashi meant by clean you up, Kakashi extended his hand for Naruto and he took it after he hesitated he followed Kakashi into the bathroom and was lifted to sit on the sink '' Raise your arms for me Naruto.'' and he did Kakashi took of Narutos shirt, when it was off completely Kakashi eyes got wide open from looking at Naruto's back from the mirror he had cuts and bruises all around his back and on his shoulders, Naruto looked down to the ground not wanting any eye contact with Kakashi.
Naruto looked up and asked '' Em baa.'' it was hard to understand Naruto but after thinking hard over what he said he got the answer, the kid asked if he was bad, Kakashi was torn between surprise that he asked something just like that he turned Naruto so he was facing the mirror and Kakashi was at his shoulder, he hugged Naruto from behind and whispered '' No Naruto you are not bad look into the mirror.'' Naruto looked up with tears in his eye's '' you are you...you are a good kid who has just been miss understand.'' Naruto only nodded.
Kakashi lifted Naruto and put him in the tub and started to wash him it didn't seem like Naruto had ever been bathed he was holding his hand up to the water trying to catch it while it flew down on him, Kakashi gently washed all the dried blood on his body and looked over for more injuries and in relief he didn't, he counted that Naruto had over ten cuts and 4 of them were bad and the bruises were all over his back then Kakashi notice that he could see Naruto's spine he was so...so fragile, after filling the tub for the third time Naruto was clean he lifted him out from the tub and wrapped a towel and dried him after that he led Naruto into the kitchen an put him on the chair to wait, he had such a blank look he didn't understand anything and that look in his eye's was the same look his sensei gave him.
Old memories flowing in his mind he started breathing faster he stumbled down to the floor '' Not now.'' he thought for himself as his hand became numb and his chest hurt, with long slow breath he felt himself faint slowly deciding that this was going to take awhile he bit his thumb and summoned his ninken, he explained everything and told them to fix a meeting with the Hokage, two dog keeping Naruto company and another to get some clothes for the kid, the dogs scattered and Pakkun walked over to Kakashi and liked his hand '' Another panic attack huh.'' Kakashi didn't say anything he stood up and started making some rice pudding, Pakkun put his paw on Kakashi's leg '' You can't take care of someone who has problems like you do you are in no shape to take care of a pup.'' Kakashi sighed '' I need to do it for him.'' when he was done he went to Naruto and saw him looking suspiciously at the two dogs in front of him, he set the bowl down an crouched down next to Naruto '' They wont hurt you i promise that's Pakkun and that's Bull they will be your friends.'' he said while pointing to one and other Bull rose up his paws in the air and Naruto slowly touched it, after they sniffed on Naruto they let him eat Kakashi fed Naruto slowly so the food wouldn't go back up, when they were done Naruto yawned and rubbed his eye in a sleepy way.
'' Guess it's time for a nap huh pup.'' Kakashi lifted Naruto and went into the living room he laid down on the couch with Naruto on his chest and the dogs laid around both of them, everyone was sleeping except Kakashi he was stoking Naruto's golden blonde hair and thinking over what to do with him the thoughts was around for an hour until he heard dogs scratching on his door he stood up and laid Naruto in Bulls arms and Pakkun laid himself next to Naruto's head, he opened the door to see Akino with a bag in his mouth Kakashi took it and and found diapers some bandage and clothes '' Where did you find all these stuff.'' Kakashi said as he crouched in front of Naruto '' Hospital and a lady forgot her bag at the park.'' Kakashi nodded as a thanks and he woke Naruto '' Hey pup sorry for waking you but i have some stuff for you.'' Naruto was still tired but stood so Kakashi could put the bandage around his little body he held on to Kakashi's head or rather hanged there when he was done he put on a diapers and some clothes they were to big but it had to do for the time being.

After an hour came Urushi home and told Kakashi that the meeting with the Hokage would be in twenty minutes but he moved to the Hokage tower the minute Urushi told him, after he slipped on his sandals he turned to see that Naruto was gone '' Naruto where are you we have to go come out.'' he looked everywhere in his apartment until he came to his bedroom he heard Naruto crying in the closet he opened the door and tried to get Naruto out but got bitten hissing in pain and swallowing a curse, he counted to ten slow and tried again '' N..no baa.''
Kakashi extended his hand '' I won't let anyone hurt you Naruto please trust me.'' Kakashi said in a calm and soothing voice.
He waited until Naruto took his hand, he hugged the boy and wiped his tears '' Thank you for trusting me Naruto.'' and the boy hugged Kakashi back, the stares and the whispers reached Kakashi his heart began to raise and he felt dizzy, Naruto hugged Kakashi harder he must have sensed his fear because he began to whine and squirm, he hugged Naruto tight to his chest '' shh... were fine we just need to breath pup.'' he looked around and found a building he could jump up to, he glanced down at Naruto and pointed at the building '' I will jump up there i won't drop you.'' Naruto nodded still crying from Kakashi's fear, he jumped up and dropped to his back and breathing out he rubbed Naruto's back while whispering small words like '' Your fine i'm fine just breath Naruto i'm here for you.'' Naruto stopped crying after some time and gave Kakashi a small almost invisible smile '' How can he make me feel so good, how can a little smile make me feel so happy.'' Kakashi thought.
'' I gotta take a minute just to ease my mind Naruto is it okay with you that we take the rooftops instead of the ground.'' '' Please don't be scared Naruto.'' Kakashi thought.
Naruto looked at Kakashi with concern in his eyes, he reached with his hand and put on Kaksahi's cheek '' breate.'' Kakashi understood what he meant ''Breath'' he leaned with his face on Naruto's hand and close his eyes and started taking deep breaths.
After Kakashi got calm he jumped from roof to roof until they were at the window to the Hokage's office, he tapped the window lightly for the Hokage to notice.
'' Hokage-sama.'' Kakashi said as he settle down on the floor.
'' You're late.'
'' Eh eh eh well i got some problems on the way to fix.'' Kakashi said while scratching his back head.
'' You mean Naruto and your illness or am i wrong.''
Kakashi sighed '' It's not like that wait one second would you.'' he unzipped his Jounin vest and revealed a sleepy Naruto who was leaning on Kakashi's chest '' Poor kid it's only three in the afternoon and he's dead tired.'' thought Kakashi '' Em sleep.'' Naruto said as he close hugged Kakashi's arm '' Do that pup this can take some time.'' Kakashi said as he stroke Naruto's golden looks.
'' Just hear me out Hokage-sama i know i have PTSD but i can handle it the doctors said i'm fine and i don't need to worry about it.''
'' Kakashi what is it you have for Naruto.''
'' I'm sorry but i don't follow.''
'' Do you want him in your life.''
Kakashi flinched '' Well that's why i came here i know i'm the only one he has and i'm 20 years old i want him in my life i want to do it for him and sensei and maybe myself.''
'' What are you going to do when you got a mission.''
'' I have enough money for some years before i need to worry about that.''
Hiruzen had been watching Kakashi stroking and hugging Naruto while talking and was very pleased, he knew Kakashi needed something to fill the void he was slowly losing his humanity, Kakashi had suffered to many losses over the years and then to be in the ANBU didn't make it better and Naruto needed someone who could care for him and Kakashi did as well '' So what are your intentions.''
'' I wan't him i am going to care for him from now on.'' Kakashi said as he tighten his arms around Naruto.
'' Are you sure you can do this he has been through so much already in his short life the villager hate him they look at him with fear or contempt anger his father may have destroyed his childhood but he wanted everyone to see Naruto as a hero of Konoha not a demon can you give him love trust will you teach him how to love and trust again can you show him how to be a shinobi and fight for this village if you agree to this i want you to adopt him but for him to live a simple life i wan't you to dye he's hair but you choose what to do with him i can't force you to do that but do you accept this Kakashi.
He froze in panic '' Can i really do this am i willing to do this can i truly help him or am i just going to do it worse how can i help him love again while i can't do it myself.'' for one brief moment he looked down at Naruto's sleeping face he stroke his whiskered cheek and then an image of Minato came '' I'll do it i don't care what everyone will think he needs me and maybe i need him too.'' Kakashi thought.
'' I will care for him sir.''
'' Then it's done you choose if you want Uzumaki or Hatake but remember safety before pride Kakashi and regarding your PTSD be careful to not be near Naruto when you get affected.''
'' Yes sir.'' he glanced down to Naruto and poked him on his cheek '' Pup wake up were done here.''
'' Em hum.''
'' Yes we are going home and guess what i will adopt you if you want to be with me.''
Naruto didn't really understand what Kakashi said but it was something about Kakashi that made Naruto believe in hope '' I guess you can start calling me daddy now can you say daddy.'' Kakashi said and gave his famous eye smile.
'' Da.'' Naruto said i confusion.
'' I will come by with the papers in a couple of weeks take the time to know Naruto as much as you can.''
'' I will Hokage-sama i promise.''
