I am not happy.
He was standing in darkness again. Endless darkness that seemed to stretch on for miles. Suffocating darkness that seemed to press in on him so he couldn't breathe.
He closed his eyes and focused on just feeling. He shuddered as his senses started to work. He could smell that sweet metallic scent again, it was stronger this time and he almost gagged as it gave him a horrible taste in his mouth. He could feel the wetness under his feet, he knew now what he was standing in... what that wet sticky liquid was.
He gagged once again before he slowly opened his eyes. Needing, and yet dreading, to see his surroundings. In front of him he could barely make out the hallway that was now becoming so familiar. The colors of the world remained black.
He took a step. Splash. And another. Splash. The sickening sound of his feet hitting the floor were the only sound heard as he made his way to the doors. Once there he stopped. He listened. He waited.
Looking warily from one door to the other. Which one will it be this time. He prepared to take the final step towards the doors but as he lifted up his foot a shrill beeping sound dissolved the world.

I am not happy.
Naruto woke up like any other morning he'd had recently, breathing heavily and covered in cold sweat. It had been a similar version of the nightmare he'd had the night before but this time the dream had seemed even more graphic and real. Nothing had really happened in it, neither of the doors had opened, nothing had grabbed him but it still took him a little longer than usual to compose himself before getting out of bed and making his way to the bathroom. When he glanced in the mirror before he stepped into the shower he almost couldn't recognize himself. His skin looked pale, his eyes were bloodshot and looked like they were sinking into his head and for the first time he noticed that he was shaking from head to foot. When Naruto got out of the shower he took some time to freshen up his looks in front of the mirror, he couldn't do much about his bloodshot eyes but at least he didn't look like the living dead anymore, he just looked tired.
After he got ready Naruto headed over to Kiba's house. His friend was standing in the front yard watching a little Chihuahua go about his business. As he came up to the dog loving guy he could almost hear the annoyance emanating from him and he chuckled half heartedly. As much as Kiba loved dogs he absolutely hated most small breeds but Naruto suspected it wasn't exactly the dogs themselves that he despised because when asked about it all his friend would grumble about was how they looked like little rats and were only good for being carried around by over appreciated celebrities. He probably hated the image the dogs had rather than the creatures themselves, which Naruto thought was proven right when his friend picked the dog up carefully and all but cooed at it as he carried it back inside the house.
"Thinking of replacing Akamaru are you?" Naruto asked jokingly. When Kiba had first found the pup he'd been tiny and his friend had carried him around inside his coat everywhere they went, Naruto still found it hard to believe that the huge white dog had ever been so small.
"With that thing?" his friend asked almost horrified. "I already got a gay little creature hanging around me all the time, I don't need another one." Kiba smirked.
"Oh the cruelty!" Naruto said dramatically as he put the back of his hand against his forehead and faked faintness. "And this is what you call your friends."
"Really? I always refer to you as 'that annoying little guy' but I suppose..."
"Yeah yeah." Naruto interrupted their mock insult fight. "So what's with the dog?"
Kiba shrugged. "My sister found him yesterday. We tried putting him in the fence with the other dogs but they didn't get along well so we're keeping him inside. Little bugger is getting the special treatment until we find someone to take him in."
Soon the boys were in the car and on their way to school after picking up Shikamaru and Chouji. They had English class first thing in the morning and then separate classes. Naruto was dreading going to school given what happened yesterday but he felt better knowing his friends would be with him and of course he now had to spend all his free periods with Kakashi as well thanks to Sarutobi, although he wasn't sure if that made him feel better or even more dreadful.
x.x.x.x.x
As in the opposite of feeling joyful.
The reason why Naruto was at the moment feeling the absence of joy in his life was not the fact that when he showed up at school he had received even more glares than usual. Apparently Sakura and Ino's lie yesterday had spread around already and, like always, people were silently taking sides in the matter. It wasn't exactly that people didn't believe the fact that he'd been proven innocent, there were just always people who didn't like him and had that little voice in their heads that said 'Well he might have done it if he'd had the chance'.
It wasn't the fact that people looked at him differently now either. Of course if people had heard of what Sakura and Ino had done they had also heard how the matter got resolved and so Naruto was now "officially" out of the closet at his school. Surprisingly it didn't change anything, no one treated him any differently than they usually did. The people who didn't like him continued to dislike him and the people who did didn't care at all if he was "straight, gay or a retarded baboon" like Kiba had so eloquently put it "because he was still who he was and they all still loved him."
Practically on the verge of sighing loudly and proclaiming "Why, oh why, me?"
Naruto wasn't exactly in a bad mood either. He was, after all, spending more time with the guy he had an insane crush on. But when Sarutobi had said he should spend all of his free time at school with the guy the silver haired man really must have misunderstood him at some point. The reason, you see, for why Naruto was feeling annoyed as hell was sitting lazily in a chair next to his desk, orange book in hand and the unmistakable "I'm sexy and you know it" aura in full force.
That was how Naruto had found him when he got to his class that morning and that was how he still was now, a half an hour later. Naruto had decided to handle this matter in a mature way. That is he had decided to ignore the man completely, hoping that when Asuma arrived for class he would ask his co-worker to leave. But when said teacher had arrived and just grinned at the silver haired man before starting class Naruto audibly snapped his pencil in half and murmured something that, much to Kakashi's amusement, sounded suspiciously like "traitorous bastard".
Of course it wasn't all bad having Kakashi with him. He'd felt better having him there when Sakura and Ino had arrived for class, both of them glaring daggers at him like it was his fault their stupid plan had been ruined. He wasn't exactly glad that both girls were now being criticized and picked on for what they had done but they had dug their own graves and had no one to blame but themselves. Having Kakashi there had also stopped Sasuke from saying whatever it was he had wanted to say to him. He'd stopped in front of Naruto's desk and paused for a minute, looking at Naruto like he was about to say something and then glancing at the silver haired man and apparently deciding against it and just sitting down at his desk in front of the pair. Knowing his relationship with the raven haired boy the blond couldn't help but be relieved since whatever it was the guy hadn't said probably would have been less than friendly.
"Is that really how you write?" This was the reason Naruto was annoyed.
"Yes!" Naruto ground out between clenched teeth.
"You miss spelled this word."
Their assignment for today's class was to read a chapter in Macbeth and then to answer some questions that Asuma had distributed at the start of it. Kakashi had remained silent as Naruto read, keeping himself busy with his own book, but when it came to answering the questions the man had started whatever it was he was trying to pull here. Asuma had told them to work in pairs and before Naruto could say or do anything Kakashi had pretty much declared himself as his partner and since the class turned out to have an odd number this was accepted without question since one student would have ended up alone otherwise. The man had turned out to be a lot less than helpful though, only bugging Naruto with stupid questions and criticizing his answers.
Naruto glared and then erased it, after pausing for a moment he glared at Kakashi again.
"There's no O in it." Kakashi offered.
"Right." Naruto mumbled as he wrote it down and started on the next question.
"Who on earth taught you how to hold a pencil?" Kakashi asked after a small silence. He was now sitting with his front facing the side of Naruto's desk, elbows propped on the edge as he leaned closer.
"No one, I just got used to holding it like this when I was little." Naruto said. He was used to giving this answer since people always got the urge to ask about it. Honestly Naruto didn't see why there was a right way and a wrong way to hold a pencil as long as the end results were the same, he was nearly positive that left handed people weren't bugged about it as much as he was.
"What, no one bothered to correct you?" Kakashi asked.
Naruto sighed and rubbed his nose before he looked at the man. He supposed that this really was just Kakashi's messed up way to get to know him so he might as well listen to his toothpick sucking dad and give the guy a chance. If he ended up getting hurt then at least he could just learn something from it and then move on... plus he could always cheer himself up with the fact that his dads would pay the guy back tenfold if he ever did something to intentionally hurt him. Therefore Naruto decided to lessen his defenses a little and answered the man truthfully."
"Honestly, I didn't know I was holding the pencil the wrong way until Iruka pointed it out when I was nine. All of my other teachers until then didn't really care what I did so long as I wasn't disrupting class or causing trouble. Which is also the reason I can't spell because I could barely read and write until my dad took me in and taught me how?"
When Kakashi didn't say anything Naruto looked over at him again. Of course there was nothing to see of the man's face because of the bandanna and mask but Naruto had the feeling that the man was smiling softly. He'd just turned back to his assignment when Kakashi spoke again.
"So is that why you like art so much?" The baritone voice was soft and oddly comforting and Naruto found that he quite liked this side of the man.
"Yeah.. it was the only subject I was any good at, along with sports, because it's pretty self explanatory. I didn't need anyone to help me with it."
After that Naruto and Kakashi spent the rest of the class chatting quietly about nothing in particular. It turned out that Kakashi had actually read something other than just his priced porn books and he helped Naruto answer the rest of his questions.
The guy clearly said my free time not your free time.
x.x.x.x.x
Of course Kakashi wasn't stupid. He might be a genius in everything but social situations but that didn't mean he was completely hopeless in the matter. Despite not having a clue how to approach the boy in the beginning Kakashi had slowly but surely come up with a plan that should work, and if their conversation just now was any indication then he would say that it definitely was working.
Naruto, being who he was, was very wary and defensive around people he didn't know. Kakashi knew that suddenly approaching the boy with an attitude that stated "Hi there, I want to be your friend for no apparent reason!" was not very likely to get you anywhere. Anyone who did so would be thought to have an ulterior motive and quickly ignored. Therefore Kakashi had come up with the idea of pretty much just bugging, teasing and all in all being in the boy's face until he got used to being around him. This of course suited Kakashi very well because that's pretty much the kind of guy he was anyway.
Kakashi had never even dreamed that he'd be spending this much time with the boy. Naruto had never been a part of any club at school that he knew of so it was a bit of a surprise when he'd signed up for Kakashi's club. When Genma had asked him to take over some baby martial arts classes for his boyfriend he'd almost refused, but he hadn't seen his old friend in a long time and he hated spending the weekends cramped up in his one room apartment anyway. And of course Kakashi hadn't had anything to do with yesterday's incident, he'd been talking with the principle about some of his own classes when Ibiki had come in with the matter and of course he had stuck around when he'd heard just what was going on.
Of course the boy had handled the situation like only he could. He'd almost quite literally burst out of the metaphorical closet kicking and screaming, only realizing afterwards that he might actually want to consult with his brain occasionally before he acted. Not that Kakashi minded in the least because now he knew for sure just where the boy's interest lay. Of course his reaction in the supply closet had been a huge hint and Kakashi had been pretty sure the boy was gay or at least bi even before that but there was always the possibility that the boy himself either didn't know or was in denial about it. He was, after all, often not the first one to catch on to things.. when Kakashi thought about it the boy was seldom even the second, third, fourth or even the tenth to get with the program.
Kakashi wasn't exactly sure just why he'd found himself sitting in the blond boy's English class on a day that he had no classes to teach except for the martial arts club. He fought the urge to chuckle. Here he was... a man renown for being late for everything... and he was not only early, he was extremely early... around 7 hours early.
He could of course intentionally twist the principal's words around to fit his own needs, sort of underneath the underneath, because surely when the man had told Naruto to spend his free periods with Kakashi he had also been asking him to look after the boy. And of course he actually had to be at school to do that. And really since he didn't have any classes to teach and nothing else to do he might as well just make sure no one bothered the kid in class. So him being there really didn't have to mean anything, it was perfectly reasonable.
Of course Kakashi was smarter than to believe that. He couldn't really say he didn't know what he wanted anymore, couldn't pretend he didn't care when he obviously did. He knew he wanted to, had to, look out for the boy. He just wasn't sure if this need came from the past or the present. Long passed obligations or new found need. Not that it mattered because it came down to the same thing, he wanted Naruto in his life.
It wasn't going to be easy, at one point or another he would have to come clean and that was bound to cause a lot of problems. He hadn't exactly been lying to the boy but he certainly hadn't told him everything and what he'd been hiding wasn't exactly small or insignificant. Naruto would probably react badly when he found out that Kakashi had deliberately approached him, it wouldn't matter that Kakashi hadn't done it to hurt him because the fact remained that he had been deceiving the boy. It had been a brilliant idea at the time because he'd only planned on meeting the boy a few times, there hadn't been any need to bring up the past or worry about the future.
x.x.x.x.x
At lunch Naruto had admitted defeat. Kakashi had followed him to all of his classes so far and it didn't look like he was leaving anytime soon judging by the lunch tray that had materialized in front of him and the silver haired guy that was now sitting, a bit too close, by his side. He didn't mind the guy's presence so much anymore, he was sure there wasn't much else the guy could do to embarrass or bug him that would top what he had already done.
They were getting along pretty well by the end of his English class and although he got a lot of stares in the hallway he didn't really mind all that much. He was pretty used to people staring anyway and they'd probably be staring, or glaring, more openly at him if Kakashi hadn't been there. Thankfully Shikamaru was the only one of his friends who had classes with him for the rest of the day because Naruto could pretty much feel Kiba grinning at the next table during class and he really didn't need to worry about his friend teasing him and possibly reveal to the guy that he had a huge crush on him. He still didn't know what the whole incident in the storage closet meant, if it had even meant anything at all to the guy, and he wasn't going to be admitting to any feelings just to have them used against him. It wasn't like it hadn't happened before. The closest thing he'd gotten to a relationship had been about two years ago when a boy from a neighboring school had confessed to him. Naruto hadn't been sure but the boy, Haku, had chased him around all the while telling him how much he liked him and wanted to go out with him. But when Naruto had finally let his guard down and admitted to liking him as well the boy had laughed in his face. Turned out he already had a boyfriend and they'd thought it would be funny to play a prank on him. Naruto hadn't even thought about approaching anyone after that. He'd gotten a small amount of confession letters from girls since then, at least two or three, but even if he didn't know he was gay he would have turned them down, not wanting to go through that again.
Somehow he doubted Kakashi was just after a good laugh but that didn't mean he was looking for any type of a relationship either.
They had just gotten out of drawing class with Anko� well in Naruto's case he had just barely survived drawing class with Anko. Of all the days for the woman to bring in a nude male model it just had to be the day that Kakashi stuck to him like a shadow. Naruto thought he would just about die to have to focus on the nude form and drawing it life sized with Kakashi almost breathing down his neck behind him. Alright the man was sitting in a chair about a feet away but he could have been breathing down his neck for all the good it did Naruto. He wasn't turned on by the model or anything, it was just really weird being in the same room with the man you had an insane crush on along with a nude guy. Plus it didn't help that Anko had grabbed his sexuality as a new way of teasing him and had spent the majority of the class telling him to look more closely at the model, describing the model in, almost sensual, detail while she corrected his mistakes and even though it was the first compliment she had ever given him he could have lived without her proclaiming loudly at the end of class how detailed and lifelike his picture was and what a great eye he had for the male body.
Naruto had just begun to breathe easy again in the cafeteria when a food tray had been placed in front of him and an all too familiar presence settled in the seat next to him. He'd thought the man had finally decided to leave him alone when he disappeared when they reached the food court but apparently the man had only gone to get something to eat. He looked between his dry sandwich and the mouth watering cafeteria food for only a moment before he put his homemade lunch away again and offered a small thanks before starting on the tray. He felt uncomfortable accepting gifts but it wasn't every day that he got a good lunch so he wasn't about to give up the opportunity, plus it would probably be rude to not accept it since the man had already bought it for him.
"So�" Shikamaru drawled from across the table.
Naruto looked up but when his friend didn't offer anything else he encouraged him with a small "Hmm?" of his own.
"What's going on?" His friend asked as Kiba and Chouji joined them at the table.
"What do you mean?" Naruto wasn't completely oblivious he knew perfectly well why his friend was asking, he'd already told them about what happened yesterday on the way home from school but he had been hoping to keep the fact that he had to spend his free time with Kakashi a secret from his friends. He could take their anger and protectiveness over what Sakura and Ino had done but like the situation was between him and Kakashi he really didn't want to hear any of their teasing or well meant advice about the guy.
"Well, either there is something you are not telling us." Kiba said with a mischievous grin. "or there is something you are not telling us." He finished with a serious look. Naruto was glad his friend's brain had decided to be a little subtle today of all days. He knew his friend meant that either there was something going on between him and Kakashi that they didn't know about or there was something else going on that required the two men to stick together like they did.
Naruto glanced uneasily at Kakashi. The man was just sitting there like it was the most normal thing in the world, like he had been friends with them all since grade school.
"Well� you see." Naruto began, not really wanting to tell his friends that he was all but getting detention for something he didn't do. They had all been outraged the day before when he told them what happened. They'd probably go livid if he told them he was being punished for it as well no matter what the principal had said. Thankfully Kakashi saved him the trouble.
"I'm assuming you know what happened yesterday." He said softly in that tempting baritone of his.
"Yeah." Kiba said reluctantly.
"Well the principal along with Ibiki didn't really think the matter would end there and therefore thought it would be best if someone looked after Naruto for some time until things cool down. Since I was there at the time, don't have many classes and am partly responsible for him as the head of his club it was decided that Naruto spend his free periods with me. He should be safe with you in class but we just wanted to make sure nothing happened today and I might be looking in on a few classes that you have with the girls during the week." Kakashi stated matter of factly.
His friends seemed a bit annoyed by that but also relieved and glad that they were making sure their friend was safe. Naruto was relieved as well and he really was happy to know that someone was making sure he wouldn't be hassled. He was glad that Kakashi had handled this because he'd probably grumbled about how this was pretty much detention or to reassure others that he didn't get a chance to do anything, that they would have a witness to his innocence if something happened. But hearing him say that also hurt in an odd way. He hadn't exactly been thinking that Kakashi was spending the day with him out of genuine concern or because he cared for him but they had been getting closer since they first met at the train station and Naruto had started to believe that they could at least be called friends if nothing else and hearing that the man had been following him all day because the principal ordered him to or because he was responsible for him as his club instructor was rather disappointing. Not that Naruto had heard the principle order the man to follow him around but he'd been pretty upset at the time himself so maybe he missed or misunderstood something.
x.x.x.x.x
Kakashi could see a slight change in the boy after lunch. Naruto had gotten quiet and seemed to be occupied in his own little world. Kakashi wasn't sure what the cause of it was. It might have been his friends' questions at lunch, he had seen how reluctant Naruto was to answer them so he had made it sound like the principal had ordered him to look after the boy today. He knew Naruto knew otherwise since the principal had just said he should go to him in his free time but he had no desire to have those boys wondering why he was following their friend around like some love sick puppy and he had a feeling Naruto didn't want them to either.
The cause could also be that Naruto was just tired of the stares and attention he had been getting all day. No one had tried anything with Kakashi there but it could be tiring to be stared at and talked about no matter if it was out of interest, pity or spite. Kakashi should know, he was stared at everywhere he went because of his mask and bandanna. He didn't mind thought because the looks he got now where infinitely better than the looks he got without the cloths.
But there was also the possibility that this was completely normal for the boy. Kakashi hadn't spent an awful lot of time alone with him except at the train station and there hadn't really been any time to drift off in a day dream with all the hubbub and the ever moving crowd.
Naruto hadn't had any classes after lunch but Shikamaru had had a study period with some of the younger students, an agreement that had been reached between him and Asuma that he would get away with not putting in too much of an effort in class as long as he agreed to tutor at least twice a week.
Therefore Kakashi had taken Naruto with him to his office in the Dojo where they were still sitting. The silver haired man had been grading essays for his literature class and he'd asked Naruto to photocopy some brochures and assignments he'd be handing out to his class soon and then put some stamps on a few envelopes he'd have to send out. He was at the moment trying not to think about the tempting pink flesh that was slowly torturing him as it licked each stamp.
After sitting there for about an hour absent mindedly chatting about nothing in particular Kakashi was jolted out of his thoughts by something the boy said.
"How do you know Tsunade?"
'Shit' he'd forgotten he had those letters in the pile he'd given the boy.
x.x.x.x.x
Naruto had already finished all the photocopies he had to do for the man and was now sitting at the other end of his desk lazily putting stamps on some envelopes. He knew the principal had said he could help the man with some chores or something in his free periods but this was utterly boring, he'd much rather be working on his sketches or something. Not that he was complaining since it wasn't hard work or anything but the stamps tasted like crap and his tongue was going numb.
Just to pass the time as he worked he read the name and addresses on the envelopes he was preparing. Some of them weren't surprising. There was one that was addressed to his godfathers company, probably an out cut from one of his books offering some free merchandise or something. Some of them were in envelopes with the school logo, most likely letters to students or their parents. Others just looked like bills for either personal things or the school.
What did surprise Naruto were the number of letters addressed to various charities and social groups, three of them he even knew. There was one to the orphanage he had been sent to when his parents died and another two to foster houses he had lived in for some time. He thought it was an odd coincidence but didn't mention it, not really wanting to talk about that part of his life. Another odd thing was that these envelopes didn't have any return addresses but when he thought about it it wasn't all that strange, lots of people sent nameless donations to charities, they got a few for the youth center now and then.
He kept working diligently until he came across a name that shocked him to the core. It was a name he knew well� too well� and granted he didn't know an awful lot about Kakashi but there was really no reason why the man should know this woman let alone be writing her letters.
It was the name of the attorney who had handled all of his matters after his parents' deaths. All of his parents assets and his inheritance issues, all of his moves between foster homes and finally his adoption. The woman had been more like his own personal social worker than his lawyer.
Why on earth would Kakashi be sending a letter to an attorney who specialized in family law? Turning the envelope around he noticed that this one too had no return information.
"How do you know Tsunade?" He asked the man sitting at the opposite side of the desk.
