Orochimaru was having a hell of a day. He had just got done with training, and before that he had a meeting with his sensei that lasted 5 hours, and he still needed to make dinner and act like a normal person.
He was walking down the path that led to his cottage, until he heard howling, and the howl seemed quite sad really, and it sounded surprisingly soft. It must be a cub or maybe..
Orochimaru made his way over to the howling sound, he swept passed twigs and leaves, passing by small holes filled with tiny creatures. And as he grew near his destination he saw a large tree stump, it looked fresh so it must have been cute down not to long.
And there on the large stump lay a boy, a Hakate, by the grey hair and wolf like facial features. Orochimaru looked around, he knew that White fang had a little cub but he would have never guessed that he would just leave him.
"Hello little cub...are you alright?" He asked in a gentle voice. He may look creepy but Orochimaru adored children.
The cub looked up with tear filled eyes, pink cheeks from crying and snot dripping down from his nose like a faucet.
"'Ho 're you.." Orochimaru noted the sleepy hint in the sad voice.
"My name Is Orochimaru, but you can call me Oro. What's your name little one?" The cub sniffled again, trying to wipe his tears.
"Am Kashi! And I'm big cub!" He tried to make it look like he was strong by puffing out his cheeks, chest and arms.
Orochimaru chuckled behind his hand. This cub sure was cute.
"Well hello Kashi, can you tell me what your doing out here all alone? I know your a big boy cub but you must be cold, even I'm cold out here" it wasn't a lie, he was freezing his buns off but he wasn't going to mention it.
"I was hunting, catching frog, but gots lost, now I can'ts finds daddy.." another whimper escaped him.
"Ohh..oh sweet cub come here how about we go find him huh? I bet he's looking for you right now." Kakashi nodded his head. He bet his daddy was looking alright!
He held his arms up, indicating he wanted to be picked up, and Oro obliged.
He held the small cub tight to him, trying to share some body warmth, though he didn't have much. He tied his scarf around Kakashi, and then himself so he could move faster without having to worry much.
"Alright let's go find your dad, precious." Kakashi felt his face grow warm at the name, it sounded nice, he wanted to be called that more. He wanted hugs, and kisses, and love from his mama. From mama...is this his mama? Please let this be mama!!
Orochimaru traveled fast, trying to locate the wolf, he did know where he lived so he's probably thinking Kakashi didn't go to far, so, Orochimaru is guessing, he is most likely to still be around the area.
He made a hard left, landing gracefully, on a tree branch, just listening.
"Kakashi!!!? Where are you!??! Please come out cub!!?" There it is.
Orochimaru followed the sound and he soon came in contact with the great White fang, who was looking like a mess, his hair was out of its normal pony tail, and he had no shirt and was still wearing his shinobi pants.
"Hakate, I believe this is yours?" He pulled out the now sleeping cub from the scarf sling. The white fang almost started to cry. He hugged his cub softly, breathing in his scent as he massaged his scalp. Kakashi let out a happy grumble as he rubbed his face against his dads shoulder.
"Thank you so much! How can I every repay you!? I have money or food!?" Orochimaru hid a smile.
"At ease Hakate, I would love you and your sons presence. He is quite a sweet thing , and when I found him crying on a tree stump, who was I to refuse."
" alright then Sannin-San please let me know when we are welcome, until then, again thank you so much!"
"I wouldn't hesitate to do it again Hakate, and also, call me Orochimaru."
The wolf smiled as called back to the retreating figure.
"Call me Sakumo...thank so you so much..lovely."
