Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto


Seeing His Darkside:

The next day Kakashi kept his word to Naruto and took him shopping. Kakashi wasn't expecting any problems since he was around and he didn't think anyone was dumb enough to attack the boy in front of him; he was partially right, however, he soon learned that despite his presence that didn't stop the villagers from insulting the child.

At first, he didn't notice it but as the day progress, he started picking up on the whispering. It started at the diner he took them for breakfast; he noticed that Naruto's shoulders tensed up, and he hesitated to walk inside. Kakashi looked at his charge encouragingly, "It's alright, no one will bother you while I'm here." he said.

Naruto smiled at him shyly before stepping inside; the owner of the diner mustn't have noticed Kakashi right away because right as he was stepping inside, he saw the old man about to shout; however, the moment he saw the copy ninja he wisely shut up. Kakashi eyed the man, "Is there going to be a problem, Sir?" he asked. The man blushed, "No sir," he said. Kakashi eye smiled, "Good because I would hate to have to report you to the Hokage." he said.

The man blushed before hurrying to take their orders after that, the two got their food and ate in peace. After the two finished with their meal, the pair headed towards the shopping district; Kakashi hardly ever visited this area of the village, preferring to do his business in the shinobi district, not including the bookstore he often frequented. Since what Naruto wanted was a desk, he didn't have a choice but to go there.

Speaking of the shinobi district, he needed to stop by there after this and pick Naruto out some clothes. He had learned from the Hokage that the boy wanted to become a shinobi and would be starting the Academy next fall. So that naturally meant the boy would need some training clothes.

On their way to the furniture store, Kakashi's sensitive ears picked up on the villagers whispering. Looking around, he noticed they all were staring at Naruto. Naruto for his part was doing his best to ignore them, but Kakashi could tell from his body language that it was making him uneasy. A surge of irritation went through him and he sent some killing intent in their direction, that shut them up.

Eventually, the pair made it to the furniture shop. Kakashi noticed Naruto waited for him to go first. If Naruto was a normal child, he would assume he did this to let Kakashi his elder go first, but he suspected it was more of a safety issue instead of out of respect. Kakashi stepped inside and was immediately greeted by an overly cheery sales clerk; however, the moment the woman saw Naruto walk in, her face changed to one of disgust. "Excuse me, sir, I'll be right with you," she said.

Kakashi suspected what she was about to do intervened, "No it's alright, the boy is with me." he said. The clerk's face changed to one of surprise, "Oh well then excuse me then, what can I help you with?" she asked. Kakashi eye smiled, "We're looking for a writing desk and a bookshelf. Got any of those?" he asked.

The clerk smiled tightly, "Yes, right this way." she said, leading the pair towards the back where they found a large selection of desk and bookshelves. "Can I help you with anything else?" she asked. Kakashi glanced at her, "Nope, I think we can handle it from here." he said. The clerk nodded before scampering off to help other customers that were trying not to openly glare at the boy.

When she was gone Kakashi turned and looked at Naruto, "So see anything you like?" he asked, pretending that there wasn't a bubble of hostility surrounding them. The boy smiled, "I like that brown desk in the back, it's just what I had in mind." he said. The Copy ninja walked over to it and was surprised to see how relatively inexpensive it was; only two hundred yen, a bargain; he turned to give Naruto a thumbs up but found the boy had wandered off towards the bookcases.

As Naruto was staring at the bookshelves, the store's manager came out; like the owner of the diner before him he didn't see Kakashi right away, but he did see Naruto. Anger flared through the man and he marched over to the boy, "What the hell are you doing in my store?" he demanded.

Naruto stared at him dumbfounded, unsure of what to say. The man already annoyed at seeing the demon brat in his store reached for his arm but froze when a wave of killing intent hit him in full force. "What do you think you're doing to my charge?" a menacing voice came from behind him. Turning around slowly, the man nearly shat himself when he saw Kakashi standing there looking like he was ready to kill him.

The man began to stutter, "I, I was just asking him what he was doing in my store alone." he said. Kakashi eyed the man, "Oh really? Do you talk to all children who enter your store alone like that because if you do, I might need to inform the Hokage about your unsightly behavior. " he said.

The man began to sweat, "Now, Now there's no need for that. Right young man?" he said, turning to face Naruto. Naruto being the mature child that he was, smiled at the man, "No it's alright, really Kakashi san." he said. Kakashi quirked an eyebrow at the boy, "You sure kiddo?" he asked.

Naruto smiled at his guardian, "I'm sure, you know I can get a bookcase some other day. Let's get the desk and get out of here." he said. Kakashi nodded and turned to go get the sales clerk, Naruto following behind him. Now, this might have been the end of this incident, but the manager just had to open his mouth. Muttering under his breath he whispered, "Why don't you just die demon." he said.

Kakashi came to a screeching halt and Naruto froze in place. The Copy slowly turned around and gave the man a death stare; however, his attention was quickly turned to his charge who was frozen in place. "Naruto, are you alright?" he asked.

The boy didn't answer him, he just stood perfectly still for a moment with his bangs covering his eyes, and then it happened. It was like a trigger had been flipped. Naruto moved at lightning speed and got behind the man, "What did you say?" he whispered in the man's ear.

Sweat ran down the man's forehead, "I, I, I said have a nice day." he said. Naruto's mood seemed to clear up, "That's what I thought you said. A little word of advice sir, watch what you say or it may bite you later." he said, with a tight smile on his face before he turned and walked ahead of Kakashi.

Kakashi watched him go thinking one thing, "Shit!"
