What is it with Cats and Dogs?
Chapter 3
Iruka woke early and walked into the room where Urako was sleeping. He opened the door slowly and peeked in. He smiled when he saw the little girl curled up with one arm hanging off the edge of the bed, her doll still tightly grasped in her hand. He walked to the bad quietly and gave her shoulder a gentle shake.
"Hey, wake up Urako."
"Mmnnnnn… No…"
He chuckled when the child rolled over and hauled her blanket over her head, pulling her doll under with her.
"Up, or I'll let Kakashi try his luck."
He heard a muffled voice and shrugged his shoulders.
"Have it your way."
The man walked out to see Kakashi sipping coffee and trying to wake up. His husband was definately not a morning person, and if they could adopt Urako, there would be two night owls. With a slight smirk he walked over and kissed the white haired man.
"I have a request."
"What?"
"Go wake up the other anti-mornings person in the other room."
Kakashi stood and walked into the room that he had already dubbed Urako's room, and stood silently staring at the lump in the blankets. He reached down and gave the child a shake and dodged a thrown pillow with a laugh.
"Alright, you asked for it."
He walked into the kitchen and filled a glass with cold water. When he returned, the girl hadn't budged.
"You have until the count of three. One…Two…Three."
Finally Kakashi yanked back the blankets and dumped the water over the girl, raising an eyebrow when she came flying out of bed, her eyes flashing.
"I warned you."
Iruka stood in the door and smiled, holding out a spare set of clothes to Urako.
"Here. Put this on, then we'll go see the Hokage. After that, I have to go and teach, so you and Kakashi can go get some breakfast."
The men stepped out as the little girl put on her clothes, still seething about the water wake-up.
When she was dressed, she walked out and took Iruka's hand, glaring at Kakashi. Obviously she was still angry at him. The three teleported to the Hokage Tower, Iruka being sure that he kept a tight hold on the child as they went.
As they both expected, the old man was sitting at his desk, quietly reading over reports and filling out forms for the missions of the village's shinobi.
"Hokage-sama…"
Both men bowed and Urako followed suit, her long violet hair brushing the floor. The old man smiled and looked from the two shinobi to the child who stood between them, using their legs as cover.
"Who's this?"
"Hokage-sama," Iruka took a step forward and brought Urako with him, giving her a gentle push toward the Hokage, who smiled kindly at the little girl. "This is Urako. She just kind of showed up at our house last night. She says that she has no family and we don't know where she came from."
"She won't tell you?"
"No, more like she can't. She says that she comes from nowhere."
The Hokage watched the child for a moment, trying to look into her mind.
"She seems alright. You are to take care of her, and she is to attend classes starting tomorrow. I'll see you soon, Urako."
