Summary: He stared at the object in his lover's arms. "What's that?" "It's a rabbit." "I know it's a rabbit, but why is it here?!" (One Shot) Answer to the LJ KakaNaru January Challenge. Theme: Usagi or Rabbit
Angel of Death
He stared at the object in his lover's arms. It was small, white, and furry. Long ears twitched as a wet pink nose sniffed at the air.
"What is that?" Naruto said quietly.
"It's a rabbit!" Kakashi said almost proudly.
"I know it's a rabbit," Naruto gave Kakashi the LOOK and continued, "But why is it here?"
"So you won't be lonely when I'm on a mission!"
"Kakashi," Naruto said slowly, "I'm more likely to eat the rabbit then I am to raise it as a pet."
Kakashi's smile dropped off his face. Naruto was right, come to think of it…
The next day, Kakashi left the rabbit with Naruto as he left on a mission. As he left the village, the scarecrow hoped fervently that the rabbit would still be alive when he returned.
When he returned, he was somewhat surprised to see the rabbit fat and healthy, and Naruto was happily stuffing greens in between the bars of the cage as the rabbit happily nibbled on the leafy greens.
