The news would have shocked Kakashi more, but before he could jump to any conclusions Kagome added on shyly, "He's my adopted son, Kakashi-san."
Naruto watched the exchange between the two young adults and immediately grimaced, making a sound of disgust. "Kami! You guys- you guys are flirting!" He exclaimed and both Kakashi and Kagome flushed.
"Naruto!" Both of them shouted at the same time, embarassed. Kagome had already moved back to where Naruto was to whack him across the head, and Kakashi had narrowed his eyes in annoyance at his student.
"Ouch! Kagome-nee, stop that already!" He complained, one hand gingerly cradling his head.
"Naruto, you need to learn how to watch your mouth." She said, exasperated. "One day it's gonna get you in real trouble."
"Already has." Naruto replied cheekily, grinning widely.
Kagome rolled her eyes, but was already smiling at the younger male in fondness. "What am I going to do with such a trickster of a kid like you? You've got too many kitsune tendencies for your own good." Suddenly, another nurse called Kagome's name and she gave them a brief wave before dashing out to assist the nurse.
Kakashi's curiosity was piqued. "She knows?"
Naruto looked back, still smiling. "About the fox? Yeah." Naruto moved closer to his teacher, poking a finger into Kakashi's chest, his eyes suddenly serious. "Kakashi-sensei, Kagome is one of the nicest, most accepting people I've ever known."
Kakashi tilted his head, amused. "Am I getting the overprotective little brother talk from you, Naruto?"
"I'm being serious!"
"Naruto, I'm not going to pursue anything with Kagome."
Naruto immediately looked offended, crossing his arms. "Wait a minute, why the heck not? Kagome-nee is awesome."
"I don't disagree. It's just not something I'm really looking for right now."
Naruto squinted at Kakashi, before smiling in a way that Kakashi knew would end up troublesome for him. "If you say so, Kakashi-sensei." He said happily before making his way out the room.
Ugh. In some way, Kakashi had ended up with two of his students conspiring to match-make him with Kagome.
