Kakashi didn't even get a block form Naru's apartment when he saw something that made him start to hyperventilate.

It was a picture of Naru participating in a group orgy. And it was poster sized! There were people everywhere staring at it in shock. Some of them shinobi who had known Naru for years. One of the people standing there staring at the poster in slack jawed disbelief was Gai. Oh dear god no! Kakashi thought in horror as he summoned a dozen shadow clones to dispose of the poster and take care of the people as he turned on his heel and ran all the way back to Naru's apartment at break neck speed.

Once there he took the steps two at a time until he reached her front door and gripped the knob in his hand and accidentally pulled the damn thing off as he was opening the door. "Naru!" He paused just inside the door way and stared at her as she was clearing the table and glanced down to his hand, still gripping her door knob then back at his face and slammed her glass dishes against the dining room table so hard that it shattered, spilling eggs and half eaten bacon all over the table.

"Kakashi Hatake!" Kakashi jumped at the loud sound of her voice. His visible eye widening a little bit as she stomped across the floor and stopped right in front of him and grabbed his hand and pried it open so that her door knob (which was now crushed beyond recognition) fell to the floor with a soft thud.

"What the hell is your problem?" Naru growled at him and he was suddenly finding it very hard to breath, his chest hurt. She didn't know about the poster, about the countless others probably littering the village's buildings and shops. She didn't know about how horrible the images made her look to everyone.

And there was no real way that he could spare her the humiliation or the embarrassment. "Naru, there are posters of you posted on every wall of every building in the village." It wasn't a lie since he was mentally keeping tack of how may posters his clones found and destroyed.

She looked at him and he got the feeling that her mind had just stopped working. Which was fine because he could use this chance to grab her and move her to some place safe. Since he just knew that every prick and pervert in the village would be coming for her wanting a little piece of her.

He wrapped his arms around her and before she could even think of anything to say to him, teleported them both out of her apartment and into his own and let her go so that he could quickly make sure that the blinds were pulled so that no one could see her in his living room with that heart breaking dazed look on her face. Finally after ten minutes or so Naru finally managed to speak. Her voice was soft, and calm.

A little too calm in Kakashi's opinion. "Why am I here?"

"Because every pervert in the village has no doubt seen that damn poster and wants a piece of you." Because I can't keep you safe in that place you call home. Kakashi growled as his mind quickly went through all the hundreds of thousands of ways he was going to slowly and painfully kill Sauske.

Naru stood there in shock as realization slowly sank into her numb mind. Sauske had done it.

The sick son of a bitch had done exactly what he had told her that he would. He had taken those innocent pictures of a sweet moment between herself and a good friend and he had turned them into something ugly and sickening. Her eyes burned and her breathing became irregular and she bit back a sob as it welled up and couldn't seem to stop herself from crying any longer. She let the tears slip and started sobbing uncontrollably.

And what was the worst about this situation was that she might have been able to hold herself together if Kakashi wasn't standing right there with such a sad look on his face.

Watching her wither and fall apart.

Kakashi had never seen Naru cry before.

Not even when he had brought her back from the Valley of Ends with a fucking hole in her shoulder, bleeding and barely alive.

The fact that she was crying now, because of something that one of her former friends had done to her was so upsetting to him that he could have cheerfully committed cold blooded murder in that exact moment if Sauske had been standing right in front of him. "Naru..." He started to go to her, to give her a hug and try and calm her down when he felt several distinct chakra signatures outside of his apartment a second before someone started beating on his door.

"Kakashi-sensei! Kakashi-sensei! Naru-Naru's home is on fire and there is a large group of civilians looking for her!" It was Sakura's voice on the other side of the door and Kakashi looked at it then looked back at Naru who had stopped crying just long enough for Sakura's haphazard, panicky voice to reach her ears.

Kakashi saw her eyes roll back in her head an instant before she started to collapse. He yelled something and lunged for her and just barely managed to catch her before his door was ripped off of it's hinges and Sakura peeked in with several of Naru's friends.

All of them grim faced and unamused by the happenings in the village.
