Kakashi did what he could to sooth Naru and finally got her to stop crying and asked a person walking by them where Mizuki's office was and listened carefully ot the instructions and started walking, with Naru still cuddled against his chest. He walked just a bit farther down the hall and found a red door with Mizuki's name on it and knocked.

"Come in." Mizuki called from the other side as he thought about the adorable little blond girl that he was going to be spending some quality time with later on. He was planning to break out some of the toys in his desk and go crazy. He chuckled as he felt a thrill of excitment run down his spine as the door opened and a tall man with spiky silver hair stepped in holding Naru in his arms. Mizuki stiffened and stared at the pair and felt himself tense up a bit.

This must be Naru's guardian, Hatake Kakashi. Mizuki gave the man his most charming smile and stood up. "Hello there. How may I help you?"

Kakashi stared at the man that had made his pup scared and uncomfortable before and gave the white haired man a chilling smile as he stepped further into the room and closed the door behind him and sat down in the dark blue velvet chair across from the man's desk. How lucky. He could check the man out while he was here.

"Hello. I'm Naru's brother, Kakashi."

Mizuki looked intrested as he looked at the little girl's tear streaked face before she hid it against Kakashi's vest and tightened her arms around his neck. Kakashi rubbed her back and squeezed her a little tighter before loosening his hold on her little body as Mizuki smiled and said. "You two must be loosely related since you don't look anything alike."

"We're blood related-" Kakashi lied as he reached up and cupped the back of Naru's head, shifting his long slender fingers through her soft hair, noticing the way Mizuki stared at his hand as if he wanted to tear it off of his body. "Just different in appearance."

"How intresting."

"Yes. I was told that I had to see you about removing Naru from the advanced classes that she's been taking." Mizuki's smile faded a bit. Crap! He had been hoping that the girl would stay in those classes since Danzou had been the one to place her in them personally.

"I-I'm sorry but she can't be removed from those classes." He stammered at the silver haired man. Kakashi gave him a narrow eye look and raised a brow at him and smiled pleasently.

"I don't think you understand Mizuki-san. I wasn't asking. I was telling. Naru is to be removed from those classes, or else." Kakashi said coldly. Mizuki blinked at the man. Was he insane? If he pulled the girl from the advanced classes, he would be going up against Danzou. And that guy would murder him in cold blood and take Naru some place far away.

"And I don't think you understand Hatake-san. But I can't remove her from those classes."

"Then I'll be pulling her out of school and teaching her myself from now on." Kakashi said as he stood up and gave the man one last look and said in a low dangerous tone. "At least this way I don't have to kill a worthless piece of shit like you for messing with my girl." Because she would be far from his reach, and safely with in Kakashi's sight.

Mizuki stuttered and stood up and watched the man walk out of his office with his new toy and felt a stab of murderous rage. How dare Hatake talk to him like he was trash! He was Mizuki! He was a great and nobel teacher! And Naru was his new student. Weather she liked it or not, he would teach her. And he would leave her ruined body for the Hatake to find in retaliation of his words today...

(***************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

Kakashi stepped through the door to the house and gently closed it behind him and put Naru's back pack on the floor next to the door and slipped off his shoes and walked across the room and put his little blond haired burden down on the couch and grabbed the blanket draped across the back of the chair and used it to cover the sleeping child up, tucking the corners under her shoulder and brushing her long bangs back from her face.

Poor thing had cried herself to sleep while he had talked to that snake in the grass rat bastard Mi-z-uki. He bared his teeth and growled low in his throat as he recalled the hungry look on the man's face when he had looked at Naru.

Kakashi would have to watch his pup carefully to make sure that that asshole didn't get near her. Meaning that he'd have to report him to the Kage first thing tomorrow morning. Naru sighed and turned over and opened her beautiful ruby colored eyes. "Nii?"

He smiled and leaned down so that he could hear her better since she was speaking so softly. "What is it baby?"

"I really don't have to take those classes any more?"

"Nope. You don't have to go to school any more either. I'm going to talk to the Hokage tomorrow and work out a system so that I can teach you here."

"But...what about my friends?" Naru asked in a shaky voice, indicating that she was dangerously close to crying again. Kakashi sighed and sat down on the floor and finger combed her bangs back from her face.

"You can have your friends over as much as you want. I won't keep you from having someone to play with. And when their at school and you feel onely, I'll be your friend and play with you. If you need to talk, we'll talk. If you need advice or help, I'll give you both."

"What if I wanna paint Ino-chan's finger nails?"

Kakashi cringed a little bit and snorted. Crap. He'd backed himself into a corner just now, had'nt he?

She is not painting my finger nails. I don't care how cute she is, my finger nails are off limits! He thought darkly as he stared down at her adorable little face and felt himself caving under pressure. Aww, she was so cute. And he could deny her nothing if it made her happy.

"Dammit. Okay. Fine. You can paint my finger nails if you want too. But you have to use a nice manly color."

Naru perked up and sat up on the couch looking excited. "Really? I can pain Nii-san's finger nails and make them pretty?"

No. "Yes."

"Yay! Can I paint them now?"

Nooooooo! "Okay." He said as he hid his face against his forearm as she climbed off of the couch and went running down the hall to get her finger nail polish and came back a second later with several little bottles. Kakahsi looked up at the bottles as she put them on the floor and paled a bit. Oh no. Not that. Anything but that!

"Naru... baby do you have any colors aside from-"

"Nope."

"Oh..." Son of a bitch!
