I'm trying to pump out as much as I can guys! I've been getting great feedback about this so I greatly appreciate it! I'm actually having so much fun writing this story and am amazed by how many of you are reading it! I didn't think so many would be reading it, espicially for it being my very first fanfic. I probably won't be updating as much over the next week because I'm coming into finials at my university so I'll be stuck in the library studying. But I still do plan on updating! Again, thank you so much for the support the past few days! 3 Much Love
Aaand I don't own Naruto
The sun had begun to shine through Kakashi's bedroom window causing Jiraiya to wake up. Kakashi was still laying in his arms. The older Sannin felt his back spazzing from the awkward position he was in throughout the night, but he didn't move for fear of waking his nephew. He sighed. They had both gone through so much in the past 48 hours. Delusions, a hospital stay, murder, and attempted suicide. It was hard to believe that this had all happened in such a short time span. He started scratching Kakashi's head. "You always liked this as a kid" he said to him. Kakashi let out a small moan. He pulled through the night Jiraiya thought with a smile. If this kid was going to break, it would take a hell of a lot more.
Suddenly there was an ANBU and the window. He had what appeared to be a hawk mask on and a scroll in hand. Jiraiya reached to open the window. "Lady Hokage requires yours and Kakashi Hatake's presence at the tower at precisely 7 o'clock this evening" the soldier said as he handed Jiraiya the scroll. When the ANBU left, Jiraiya looked at the clock, it was only 7 in the morning. He had lots of time to make sure Kakashi was ready for his trial. He was scared the jonin would be charged, although he would not be too surprised.
"Kid, you awake?" he asked Kakashi while trying to shake him awake, but it was no use. He was passed out and would likely be for some time. Poor brat is exhausted and probably still feeling the effects of his little stunt last night he thought to himself. He managed to scoot off of Kakashi's bed and tucked him in for the second time. Kakashi let out another small moan and curled into a ball. Jiraiya stood there watching him sleep, scared that something might happen if he were to leave.
Kakashi was a danger to society right now, and everyone who understood the situation realized this. It did not matter how much good he had done for the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Kakashi was unpredictable as of right now, and seemed to have no control over his actions.
Jiraiya finally left the room leaving Kakashi to sleep. He made his way out to the kitchen. The eggplant miso soup he had started to make the other night was still on the counter. He had never had a chance to finish for Kakashi had tried to rip out his eye. He began cleaning up the unfinished meal when a light knock at the door interrupted him. Jiraiya went to open the door and found a lost looking Naruto. "What's wrong with Kakashi-sensei master Jiraiya?" he asked, sounding more and more confused. "Meet me on the roof and I'll explain everything."
"And so now we have to meet Tsunade tonight to discuss the actions that will be taken out against him" Jiraiya finished after explaining the situation to Naruto, leaving out the eye incidents and suicide attempt. "Granny will probably understand, I mean... He didn't know what was happening, right?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya was silent. Of course Tsunade would understand, it was just everyone else in the village that wouldn't. Kakashi would be shamed as his father was, viewed as a traitor for killing innocents of his own village. "To an extent" he finally replied. Naruto nodded, seemingly satisfied. "Naruto," Jiraiya started, "you have to make sure you don't let anyone else find out what is exactly going on okay?" A large grin appeared on the 16 year olds face, "Of course! You can trust me!" and with that he was off. Jiraiya couldn't help but smile and think That kid is going to make a great Hokage some day, just like his father. He then went back inside to finish cleaning.
"Lady Tsunade! The man is psychotic, he cannot be trusted! You need to take care of him before he kills more civilians!" Danzo yelled at Tsunade. "Either lock him up, or permanently fix the problem" he growled before storming out of her office. "My lady, what are you going to do?" Shizune gulped. "I don't know, but I'm not locking him up. That would only make everything worse. Probably try medication, see if that helps and go from there." Shizune nodded in understanding. "The village will not be happy about this; they're terrified of Kakashi after what happened yesterday." Tsunade ignored the comment, and pulled out a bottle of her most prized sake. "We need to get ready for the trial tonight" she said. "Are you sure drinking..." Shizune stopped herself knowing the outcome if she had finished her sentence.
Kakashi finally woke up around 5 that evening to the smell of cooked beef. He groaned as he sat up. He was in fresh clothes and he smelled clean. Someone washed me he thought to himself. Get got onto his feet initially feeling unstable, his sense of balance was completely off. Making his way toward the smell of food, he found Jiraiya spooning noodles and broth into bowls. "Do you ever leave?" He asked his uncle. "It's probably best I don't at this point in time" he replied quietly. "Sit down and eat. We need to talk" Kakashi was ordered. The pair sat at the table, Kakashi staring at his bowl. "You haven't eaten anything other than alcohol and pill the past two days. Eat." Jiraiya said in a voice that deserved respect, and Kakashi did as told like a well disciplined child. "I understand what's going on Kashi; Sakumo went through the same thing. The voices, hallucinations. That's why I'm here. I don't need my only living relative to end his life again when I know I can do something to help." Kakashi slowly chewed listening to every word. "I know I sound selfish, but I don't want to live with the guilt that I didn't do enough to help you. That happened to me when your father died. I didn't do enough, and I can at least let Sakumo rest in his grave knowing I did all I could for you." He stopped talking to let his words sink in. "Know, finish eating and get dressed. You have a trail to attend to in less than two hours. We are going to show up early and you will take any help they offer." Jirarya told his nephew. "What if they decide to lock me up for insanity?" he asked. "We will worry about that when the time comes, now eat and stop talking." With that Jiraiya and Kakashi sat eating in an somewhat comfortable silence; Kakashi ignoring the somewhat tame whispers.
Two hours later, Kakashi and Jiraiya were called into the Hokage's office were they were met by Tsunade, Danzo, and several village elders. "Well let's get started shall we?" Tsunade said as the doors closed. "Yes. Let's" Danzo said while glaring at Kakashi with ill intention.
