"Naru. Naru. Honey wake up and tell me what your doing laying in the middle of my living room." Kakashi said as he lightly patted her cheeks with his free hand and waited for her to respond. He'd been at it for almost ten minutes since coming home and he still had no fucking clue about what had happened to cause her to wind up unconscious in his living room floor.
But he was afraid that if she didn't respond to him soon, he'd have to take her to the hospital.
Naru twitched in his grasp and let out a small distressed sound before opening her eyes and looking at him. "Kashi?" He gave her a relived looking smile and stopped patting her face with his hand and instead shifted so that he could run his fingers through her hair, pushing it back from her face so that he could see her better.
"Hey. What happened to calling me wolfy, huh?" He asked in a half teasing tone as she blinked, still not all there just yet. But he knew the moment that she was all there. She nearly climbed over him to get up and look around. Nearly knocking him over into the coffee table in the process as she got to her feet and started moving around the room restlessly.
Her anxiety plainly showing in every step she took as she started babbling almost hysterically. "There was a man here. Man with a baby. He was covered in blood and-and the baby was crying-" Kakashi slowly got to his feet and watched her as she ran circles around his living room peeking over the back of the couch, glancing down the hall, checking the locks on his windows.
Just what the hell had her so rattled that she would feel the need to look for evidence of something having been there?
She stopped running around the room and looked at him, her eyes wide, her face a paler than it had been before when she'd shown up on his door step after the lightning had hit her home. "I was going to pick up the baby. It was scared-" Kakashi nodded his head understanding that if there had been a crying, scared infant in his apartment (though he had no idea how it could have gotten there) that it was only natrual that she would pick it up to try and comfort it.
"And the man- He came out of nowhere. Blood was everywhere in his face and neck, Kashi. Everywhere! And he yelled at me..."
"Uh...okay..." Kakashi said, more or less at a loss about what to say.
Naru's comments about a man and a baby being in his apartment, while worrying to the Copy nin, might be nothing more than just a bad dream since there was only two people in the whole village that could get into his home when he wasn't there. Jiriaya and Naru herself.
And since Kakashi doubted that the Toad Sage would have swung by without him being there to open the door for him, and Naru had been unconscious on the floor, and there was no physical evidence to support Naru's claim. Then the Copy nin would simply have to chalk up her experience to sleep walking or something while having a very vivid dream.
"Well, whoever they were, they aren't here now-" Kakashi said as Naru started to move around his living room again, this time slower as if she wanted to make sure that she hadn't missed anything. He watched her move around until she started to brush by him. Reaching out he grasped her upper arm in his hand and gently pulled her to a stop. "Stop. Walking around like that. You're making me paranoid."
And he felt far too tired to indulge his paranoia at the moment even if it would make her feel better. "The man scared me Kashi." Naru said as she stepped in closer to him and wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face against his shirt. He sighed. Well hell, when she put it that way there was no way that he could simply ignore it.
It looked like he'd be putting his apartment on lock down for a little while so that Naru would feel less freaked out about what had happened. "Okay, Naru. I get it. Have a seat on the couch and let me lock the place down." He said as he carefully pried her arms out from around his waist and gave her a small nudge towards the couch.
She climbed onto it and sat down without so much as a peep as he walked over to his front door, slid the locks into place then started weaving hand signs for a protective barrier to be put in place around his apartment.
Once that was done he walked over to the chair and dropped himself down in it and was just a little startled when Naru climbed into his lap like she had been earlier and wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his shoulder and muttered. "I feel safer now."
Kakashi's lips twitched in amusement despite the oddness of the situation as he ran his fingers through her long soft hair and said. "I'm glad you feel safer now Naru."
