Ali: SEVENTH CHAPTER! Yeah!
Shizune: DO you always have to be so loud?
Ali: YES!
Shizune: *takes out kunai* Wanna repeat that?
Ali: *looks around with fake dazed expression* Who said anything about being loud? I'm not being loud.
SHizune: *nods* I thought so.
Ali: *grumbles under breath*
Shizune: What was that?"
Ali: *smiles nervously* Nothing.
Shizune: Say the disclaimer.
Ali: No!
Shizune: Alice.
Ali: FIne! I own nothing but the plot.
SHizune: Review.
Chapter Seven:
First Day Of The Academy
Kakashi felt apprehensive. He felt overprotective brother/mother/father syndrome as he looked at his little five year old brother. He fixed up his brother's wild silver hair and handed him the prescription glasses and looked into Kabuto's coal eyes with his own coal eyes and fixed his brother's deep purple clothes. His little brother was going to go to the academy and Kakashi was being overprotective and worrisome. His mind roamed to bullies, Kabuto not making friends, him hating school, etc.
"Now Kabuto, I want you to play nice with the other kids okay?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes Kaka," Kabuto said.
Kakashi had been training his brother to defend himself just in case the bullies thing were true. "Don't start fights, finish them."
"I know."
"And make sure you listen to the teacher, I don't want to find out that you've been a troublemaker," Kakashi warned.
"Yes Kaka."
"Alright, let's go."
Kakashi handed him his lunch and shuriken holder. It was filled with things he would need in the academy: kunai, shuriken, and scrolls just in case. Kakashi remembered the notebook and handed it to his brother since there would be writing utensils already there, they just needed to be able to bring their notes home and study. Kakashi, since he was his younger brother's legal guardian, would have to sign for his homework to say he had done it each night. He walked his brother up to the front gates and knew that his brother most likely wouldn't want to give him a hug and he ruffled his brother's hair (admittedly after he fixed it for ten minutes at home) and gave him a fond smile. Kabuto hugged him and Kakashi hugged back before watching his little brother go and felt worry bubble in him. He walked to his usual hang out and saw Asuma and Gai waiting for him. He sat down beside them and shifted in his seat.
"Stop worrying," Asuma ordered.
"Kabuto's a great kid and will do excellent in the academy," Gai said.
"It still doesn't stop my worrying. What if there's a bully picking on him? What if he doesn't make any friends? What if he doesn't ever want to go back? What it-"
"It'll be okay," Asuma said after coving Kakashi's masked lips with his tanned hand. "Kabuto's gonna do fine and want to go to school and become a ninja."
"I wonder what his skills will be," Gai suddenly said.
Kakashi wondered as well. He only taught Kabuto basics in defending himself, he never did anything wish chakra.
"Wanna order something?" Asuma asked.
"Yeah. Just get me some sweets."
"Dango it is," Gai said, raising his arm. "Waiter!"
"Yes?"
"We'd like some dango," Gai said.
"And icecream," Kakashi finally said with a relaxed smile.
"And some soda," Asuma put in."
"What kind?"
After getting their food they started telling funny stories and laughing. Kakashi looked at the time and perked up. "I've got to go pick up Kabuto."
"We'll come with you!"
"WE will?" Asuma groaned.
"Yes, we will," Gai said.
"Fine, let's go."
Kakashi got up and walked with his friends to the academy and was glad to see Kabuto talking animatedly with some friends. Kakashi called to him and the silver haired academy student ran to his brother, yelling bye to his friends.
"Hi Kakashi, Gai, Asuma," Kabuto said with a smile. "I had a great day today!"
"Really? What'd you do?" Asuma asked.
"We practiced with shuriken, learned about chakra..."
Kakashi's nerves were set at ease at his excited chatter and they walked with Kabuto to get him a treat, listening to his story and giving either real interest or fake interest in something. They also gave him mock shock when he said something he learned and one of them would say, "I forgot that" or "Really?" or "I didn't know that" to please the five year old.
All in all, it was a good day.
Ali: Okay there's the seventh chapter. I hope you liked it!
Shizune: It's alright. I can't imagine Kabuto like that now though.
Ali: He had to be like this at some point when he was a kid... unless he grew up with Orochimaru... Oh he must have been raped so many times if he did.
Orochimaru: I heard that! I don't rape kids!
Ali: So you rape adults?
Orochimaru: ... What? No! I don't rape anyone!
Shizune: What about molesting?
Orochimaru: No!
Ali: Are you sure you're not a pedophile?
Orochimaru: I'm not a pedophile! I'm not a pervert either! That's Jiraiya's job.
Ali & Shizune: True, true...
Ali: Well, that's it for now!
Shizune: Review!
