Childhood: Friend
Sakumo sighed as he walked into his house late at night. After the harsh winter his wife died in, He was back on active duty. Sandaime didn't want to let him go, but he needed his skills.
His heavy footsteps made the tatami mats crease with his weight, having no need to use his stealth in his own home. He stopped by his son's lighted room with a heavy heart, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Slowly opening the shoji door, he peeked into the room only to see his son drawing on scrolls by a low table. Sakumo quietly approached his unsuspecting toddler.
"Kakashi, why are you not sleeping?" He whispered in his ear, startling the boy.
"Papa!" Kakashi exclaimed, turning around to give his father a hug.
Chuckling, the man patted his son on his head before lowering him. "Papa has a mission tomorrow morning…"
"But you're 'uppose to take me to pawk 'morrow!" Kakashi interrupted, pouting in his father's arms.
"I know…but Sandaime specifically asked me to help out with this mission. You do not want me to let him down now, do you?"
"No..." Kakashi replied, trying to stifle a yawn.
Sakumo ruffled his son's unruly locks before he lifted him up and tucked him in his small bed. "I'll leave a friend over for you."
With a bite of his finger, he smeared the blood on his forearm and over the tattoo. Familiar white chakra flooded the room and encased its inhabitants with warmth.
In a puff of white smoke, a small girl dressed in a sleeping yukata bowed before Sakumo. "Sakumo-sama called me, in this form?" the little humanoid ninken asked.
Kakashi's eyes grew wide as he saw the familiar ninken. " a'gome! Why you so small?"
Looking up, Kagome glanced at Kakashi before staring at her master. "Kagome-chan, can you please look after Kakashi while I'm gone?"
Please be his friend, he added mentally.
Smirking with her fangs sticking out, the dog eared girl nodded her head before sliding into the bed.
"Scoot over, Kakashi-chan, it's cold out here."
"I'm not little!"
Author's Jibe: Props to Watsuki's Yahiko-chan! And Kakashi is human to begin with, so why can't he be as cute as my nephew?
