It's been a few years since Rat entered the anbu and today seemed to be his 11th birthday going by the group of unmasked anbu that where in his house. The boy sighed as he unlocked his door and walked in putting his mask on the side table before slipping a black eyepatch on so it covered his left eye; he hated the red colour that seemed almost like blood unlike his right eye that was a shiny greenish blue that he loved, he wished with everything that both his eyes could of been that colour.
He brought his hands up to his black hair and ruffled it while scratching his scalp lightly, his mask seemed to like holding his hair down and after four years he still wasn't used to it. Next his room to change out if his anbu uniform, it was easy to get around everyone in his place since they all seemed to be in kitchen and that was in the back of the place.
He changed out of his uniform and into some black jeans and a long sleeves white shirt after taking a nice warm shower. He new by now everyone new he was home so once he was cleaned up he walked to the kitchen. Unsurprised when a bunch of grown ups jumped out from hiding spots yelling "happy birthday" when he flicked the lights on.
Starring blankly and the men and women in his place blankly, he didn't understand this whole birthday stuff but that didn't stop him from taking part in it he was to try and make friends and order given to him the second year he was an anbu by the hokage.
The white haired anbu known as Kakashi patted a brown haired pale teen who had his head down "I told you he wouldn't be surprised by this" Kakashi said as he patted the kid's head. "Cass never is" he told the teen that Cass remember as Sai.
Cass rubbed the back of his head making sure not to remove get his hand on the eye patch, shifting his feet slightly as he looked to the ground. Just like how Kakashi never showed his face Cass was never one to talk that that he couldn't he just didn't.
Said sighed as he looked at the ground "I thought this would get him this time"
-I knew you guys were here before I walked in the door- Cass signed before he started to walk to the fridge, he was thirsty and hungry.
The party was almost over and Cass was opening presents witch to Cass made no sense. Dog bed, dog dishes, dog food, leash and collar, dog toys and the last then he opened seemed to stuff to clean and groom a dog.
He looked up with a tilted head -I don't have a dog- he signed, confusion clear on his face.
Everyone seemed to get an amused look on there face other the sai when he signed his confusion, it was Kakashi that spock after that "that's why I got this for you" he said as he before the front door opened and a shadow clone of Kakashi walked In holding this small puppy that looked so soft and fluffy.
The Kakashi clone handed Cass the black puppy before it vanished in a cloud of smoke and for the first time Cass was more excited, he lost the feeling of being scared to talk the feeling that has overtaken him since he was younger. A big grin overtaken him and in that moment he said one thing almost a giggle as the black puppy licked his face "stop it Jakku" he giggled.
Everyone was shocked, Cass never seemed happy let alone the sight everyone was watching with the 11 year old giggled on the floor. His voice was soft yet slightly rusty from never using it.
