Back with the guys

"I'll get the door.", Shikamaru grumbled as he got up from the sofa.

"What? Not too troublesome this time?" Kiba teased him and earned a glade from the lazy genius.

"No, stupid. I gotta get another pack of cigs from the store anyway." he said and opened the door.

His face fell.

"Holy shit Iruka, what's going on?" he asked in bewilderment as he saw a small kid looking out from behind Iruka's legs. He turned and let the small group into the house.

"Please let me explain when the others listen too. Especially Kakashi." Iruka answered a tad nervous. Suddenly Kiba stood in the doorway to the kitchen. "Yo Shika, can you bring-" he looked at the two men and the kid. "GUYS!" he yelled. "TEAM MEETING! RIGHT NOW!" and he dragged the others into the living room.

Kakashi looked up from his Icha Icha novel and watched as slowly all of his house-mates filed into the room. With an addition. Okay. Now he was confused.

Iruka had managed to talk the little one into taking a seat on the couch while the others sat next to them or just sat on the floor. After all got comfortable, five pairs of eyes were glued onto Iruka and wanted an explanation. The young man shifted uncomfortably but finally started talking. He told them why he wanted Naruto to stay with them and after he finished he shot a begging look at Kakashi.

"Well, I think there's only one solution: Letting him stay here" Kakashi said calmly. "Even thought I think one of us has to adopt you" he smiled at the kid "if you don't just want to stay here temporarily."

"Tempo-rare-ly?" Naruto shot him a questioning look.

"That means one of us is going to be your new dad if you want to stay here forever." Itachi chimed in. Naruto nodded and flashed him a smile. He then looked at the rest of the group. "I think it would be really cool if I could stay here."

"I'd like to..." Naruto said, suddenly looking to the ground. "But I don't want to be a burden."

"You aren't! Of course you can stay." Kakashi told him. "We can change shifts so that someone's here all the time... And we can enroll you into school..."

Naruto ran over to Kakashi and hugged him. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" finally he let go of Kakashi and blushed... "Erm- I mean... Thank you mister..."

Shikamaru laughed. "That's right, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. But since you know Iruka over here" he pointed at said man "I think I start: My name is Nara Shikamaru" He picked up an apple from a bowl on the table and threw it to Kiba so he said his name. "Hey, I'm Inuzuka Kiba." He grinned at Naruto and showed of some sharp canine teeth. He threw the apple at Itachi who picked the fruit out of the air before it could hit his head. "Hi, I'm Uchia Itachi. How old are you?" "I'm five but I will be six really soon!" Naruto said puffing his chest out and standing on his tip-toes. "Cool" Itachi said and threw the apple towards Kakashi who could barely catch it. "I've got a little brother the same age. Maybe he can come over to play one day." Itachi looked at Naruto who nodded happily.

Kakashi, having the apple eaten by now, said: "Yo! I'm Hatake Kakashi and I-" he looked at Naruto just to see that the boy was just barely awake "-think you need to go to bed now." He finished his sentence with a smile. With those words he picked Naruto up and carried him up stares into a spare bedroom, Iruka just one step behind him.


After Kakashi had changed Naruto into one of his old pajamas and closed the door behind him, he turned to Iruka.

"Thanks for letting him stay with us, Kakashi. This really means a lot to me."

"Ah, don't worry. I enjoy having him here. I hope he's going to tame this wild household a bit." The Hatake said with a smirk. "And about the 'keeping an eye on him'-part... I thought about stop working for a long time now. My family has enough money so I technically just work for fun. I'll stay home with him."

Iruka looked really grateful and so Kakashi held out his fist and said: "We're gonna survive this together, understand? All of us!"

And Iruka replied with a fist bump. "Yeah."


Wow! Our pocket-sunshine arrived at the Hatake-household. What will come next? Please review!

See ya
