Chapter 4: Kakashi
"Yo". Was all the man said.
There stood at 6'2 was a man with silver hair that was spiked oddly up. One eye hidden behind his hiate, the other hidden behind an orange book. He was dressed in typical jounin and lacked the usual ANBU mask.
"Where's your mask mister?" Naruto asked looking slightly fearfully up at the man.
The Hokage answered, "Well I thought it would be nicer if you saw the face of the man who will be taking you shopping".
Ironic, considering we can't see his face behind the mask, or the book. Is that ICHA ICHA?! Pervert! Reading that in front of a child.
"Well you should probably get going", the Hokage said before vanishing.
The group started to walk out the doors of the academy and towards the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital many of the staff attempted to throw him out until they noticed Kakashi.
"Oh, Kakashi-san, just wait one moment while we dispose of this trash", the nurse said smiling a sickeningly sweet smile.
"Actually I'm on a mission today to ensure that Naruto is not refused service from anyone. Understood?"
The nurse started to stutter in outrage, before begrudgingly calling for another nurse to take Naruto. This one appeared friendlier, "Hello little one, how about I take you to get all checked out ok?"
The first nurse gave her a scathing look, "Demon lover", she muttered before walking away.
When Naruto was lead away Kakashi finally scowled, or at least Iruka thought it was a scowl. "I can't believe I was given this farce of a mission. Honestly escort for a spoilt brat."
"What?! You think Naruto is spoilt?!" Iruka screamed going red in the face. Kakashi responded with a bored look.
"Well obviously. He has the Hokage wrapped around his little finger. Honestly an ANBU escort for what? Protection from a couple of bullies?" he scoffed.
"You bastard! You have no idea what Naruto has been through! He gets beaten every other day, he is starved, ridiculed, and rejected by pretty much everyone!" Kakashi's eye grew wide at Iruka's rant but no he was not done yet. "He got thrown out of his house and lived on the streets for weeks and no one noticed! He got prostituted by a teacher and he actually believes he is a demon!"
Kakashi stuttered looking pale, "I had no idea".
"Yes you had no bloody idea! Nobody does, they just go along with the crowd and hate him just because he's there! And you! I was there that night, remember? When the Yondaime asked you to watch over Naruto and you said you'd be there for him! You lied! If you were there for him you'd know he wasn't spoilt or petted on! If you'd actually have protected him then he wouldn't have been raped! Why weren't you there?!
Kakashi's eye started to leak, "I couldn't face him", he sobbed. "Every time I looked at him, all I could think about was sensei and it hurt so badly. I thought he was cared for, the council told me he was a worship little brat", Iruka fumed at that; "I didn't know he was hurting, I swear. Oh my god, sensei I'm so sorry".
"It's ok Kakashi-sama", Naruto suddenly appeared.
"Oh Naruto, I'm so sorry", Kakashi said and then choked, "Why did you call me sama?"
"It's disrespectful for a demon to call any human anything but Sama because they are all my superiors". Naruto quoted that as if from a text book.
"Who told you that?" They asked getting down to eye level with Naruto.
"The council lady with pink hair said everyone in the world was better than me". He said lowering his head as if afraid they would agree with her.
"Naruto listen to me", Kakashi said, taking Naruto's tiny hands in his own, "She was so very wrong, you are worth ten of her and probably better than any other person in this village. Understand?"
Naruto nodded tears trailing down his face. A cough interrupted them; they looked up to see the nurse standing with a file. She seemed to be quite distressed.
"Well Naruto's injuries were extensive; he had four broken ribs, a fractured ankle, a dislocated shoulder, a broken wrist, a concussion and some awful internal injuries. The fact that he walked in here instead of being rolled in on an autopsy table is astounding in itself. But even worse was how he reacted...
Xx- Flashback –xX
The nurse dropped her file when she read over the file. Tears fell from her eyes as she looked at the small boy now staring at her in fear.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry!" he squeaked whilst backing into a corner in fear, "Please don't hurt me, I won't do it again".
The nurse dropped to the floor sobbing at the broken child in front of her. Suddenly the door behind her opened and a tall man walked in, upon seeing the state of the nurse yelled, "What did you do you foul demon".
Raising his fist to strike Naruto but was stopped as the nurse jumped on his back, "Don't he's just an innocent child!"
The doctor threw her off, "Innocent? That monstrosity is anything but innocent! He killed my brother!"
"No he didn't" Naruto looked up to see another man.
"Chief?" The man asked now looking like a deer caught in headlights.
"I will consider this your resignation, please leave the hospital before I have to escort you out".
I don't understand why is he helping me?
After the man had gone the nurse came down to him, "Naruto this is the chief of medicine. He's like the boss of everyone in the hospital and he is the best healer we have her", the man blushed at that, "So he's going to take care of your injuries ok?
Naruto nodded and hopped back onto the table.
Xx- End flashback –xX
"Now all you need to do is check the cuts every night for the next two weeks and apply this healing balm, also we noticed he is terribly underweight, so give these nutrition drinks to be had before every meal. Ok?"
They nodded and five minutes later were on their way to the market district. They only difference this time was both Iruka and Kakashi were holding one of Naruto's hands.
When they arrived at the first shop called 'Wears for the young shinobi' they met some resistance from the store manager.
"There is no way I'm equipping that beast with items that will make him more dangerous!" He yelled.
"Tyler!" A woman yelled from behind him. "Don't you dare turn away the business of such fine shinobi!"
Her husband huffed but allowed them entrance into the shop. Naruto instinctively went to the second hand section before Iruka pulled him away.
"It's alright Naruto we are going to get you some nice new clothes. Ok?" Naruto nodded timidly still slightly afraid of how much things cost. What if Iruka-sensei stops caring for me and he gets really angry about how much he spent on me?
They picked out a junior shinobi outfit and sandals and went to pay for it, when the man tried to overcharge them.
"Excuse me but if you do not sell them to me for the normal rate the Hokage has given me permission to arrest anyone who treats Naruto unfairly".
They left the store with bagfuls of clothes and started towards their next destination. The toy shop.
Naruto stared open mouthed and awe clearly shinning on his face. This is incredible. As he was never allowed in a toy shop he could not believe how colourful and bright and shiny it all was. He also could believe how expensive it was.
Iruka seeing Naruto's face felt warm inside, thinking that it felt worthwhile to see him so mesmerised and carefree.
"Ok you can pick out four things and I'll buy them for you", Naruto gazed up at him in shock. Four? That's so much. But what if this is a test to see if I'll chose the right things.
Naruto looked around and saw a bin with key rings for only 50 ryo. He ran over and grabbed four before cautiously going back to Iruka holding out his hands. "These please".
Naruto panicked at Iruka's incredulous look. Oh no, I picked wrong.
"Naruto you don't have to pick those because they're cheap. Come on". He said pulling Naruto down an aisle, neither noticing that Kakashi had disappeared.
Iruka grabbed a train set, a child's kunai set (the kunai were blunt), and a game boy. When looking around for a fourth thing he noticed Naruto secretly petting a fluffy fox teddy.
Iruka smiled and lifted it for him. They met Kakashi at the checkout, in his arms numerous bags filled with books, bedding and posters. Also a little grey sleeping cap.
Iruka smiled at him, and blushed when Kakashi smiled back. After paying for the items they returned home. Before Kakashi left Iruka hurriedly asked, "Would you like to stay for dinner?"
"Kakashi smiled, "I'd love to". To which Naruto yayed.
Okay what did you think good? Bad? Amazing? Seriously I want to know. Yes this will be a Yaoi between Kakashi and Iruka and maybe a harem I don't know.
Just so you know at the start of every chapter there will be some bashing of the character but by the end they will learn from their mistakes. So please review.
