Ok, here's the disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. I do, however, own this story…^^

Meet My New…?
The masked ninja showed no sign of emotion as he looked over the battered missing-nin. He had expected something like this, more-or-less.
"Kakashi, as you know, Uchiha here is part of the very same criminal organization that wants to capture Naruto for the nine-tailed beast in him."
Tsunade paused, taking another look over at the silent missing-nin, and then focused her attention on Kakashi yet again.
"Uchiha Itachi and his partner Hoshigake Kisame have been tracking Naruto down, and have had several failed attempts. While scouting the area, a squad of ANBU elite spotted Uchiha, and proceeded to fight them. Four squads came to join afterwards. They killed Hoshigake Kisame and managed to ring Uchiha into custody."
Tsunade allowed a pregnant pause to insert itself in the midst of the tension.
The silver haired Jounin waited for Tsunade to finish. She was rubbing her scalp and forehead as if to reduce a headache. When he figured out that she was probably drunk and would need to be reminded of what was going on, he decided to speak up.
"Hokage-sama, what does this have to do with me?"
This seemed to work as the Godaime lifted up her head, ceasing the rubbing of it
"Oh, right…" [sigh] "There are only a few places in which we can hold the uchiha until we need him. He's gonna need to have a permanent residence until Ibiki can question him."
He's not gonna like this…damn, I need more sake… Her inner torment not reaching her features.
"Hatake Kakashi, you will be housing the Uchiha until we can bring him in for questioning, and will continue to keep your eyes on him at all times until a trial can be arranged. Is that understood?"
"…"
"…"
"…Hai, Hokage-sama."
Even though the mask hid this, a frown was deeply etched into his handsome features as the ex- ANBU member realized what the next few months would be like.
"Excellent," she pulled a metal collar out of her desk and proceeded to hand it to him "This needs to be placed around his neck at all times. If you use a chakra string, you will be able to attach it to this and control the Uchiha if he gets out of control or simply does something you don't like. You can make him do anything you want with this."
Itachi's eyes showed a flicker of emotion, most likely anger, then was back to his usually stoic presentation.
Tsunade outwardly smirked
This should be fun.
"You're dismissed."
As the people inhibiting the room dispersed, Tsunade let out yet another sigh.
Now, where did Shizune hide all my sake bottles…?

At Kakashi's Apartment…
Kakashi opened the front door, and stepped to the side to allow his new house-mate into the threshold.
Itachi, much to his dismay, let himself in and walked through the hallway. He examined his surroundings. As he entered through the door, to the left was a living room, complete with white walls, a navy blue leather couch, glass table, and flat screen tv. There were pictures hanging around on the walls, and a dead fern on the window sill behind the flat screen tv that was placed on a wooden table with cubbies underneath. Further into the house he passed a small kitchen on the right. Then straight ahead, there were three doors, two facing each other. The one facing him looked to be a bathroom. He guessed that the other two were bedrooms.
Kakashi watched as one of the most infamous criminals of his village examined his house with two bright red keen eyes, and a stoic expression.
Wow…this is awkward…
He laughed nervously to himself, relatively certain that the Uchiha most likely heard him…
"Itachi-san," his voice not wavering as he said words he thought he'd never say under these circumstances. "Your room is to the right. In about an hour, we'll go get you clothes…" 'cause I don't want you wearing mine…
"Hn…" This being the most he's said all day.
Kakashi's face fell
These are going to be a long few months…
