*~*~*~*

Curled up on his side on the cot, Naruto stared blankly at the window, covered by the curtains that danced in a light breeze that came through the opening. Tsunade had decided to open the window just enough to let it the breeze so he didn’t have to worry about feeling confined as he napped off his crying. But at the moment, it didn’t really matter to him, not that much.

At the moment, he was much more worried about how he was going to be treated now. He looked like what he supposed a demon would look like in a human form after all. Ears and a tail that twitched on their own, whisker marks that sat high on his cheeks. Claws and defined, if not delicate, fangs that flashed every time he so much as though about smiling or opening his mouth.

He was feeling that his new looks weren’t going to have a very good reception.

Moaning softly to himself, Naruto rubbed his cheek against the pillow under his head, his eyes hazy as his thought ran rampant. They always returned to why Sakura had done what she had done to him, never figuring out why she had done it.

Was it because he had so many missions out of the village? Was she hating the fact that the village was starting to trust him, even if it was slowly? Did it have something to do with Sasuke and how he had been dragged home? He had thought that she had gotten over that long ago and had actually started to like him as a friend.

Pushing himself up into a sitting position, he shoved his hair out of his face before he looked over to the door, his ears twitching forward at the soft sound of leather brushing against fabric. He had a feeling that he knew who it was since there were only a few people who dared to wear leather, even inside of the walls of the village. Smiling softly to himself, Naruto watched as his suspicions were confirmed, a strong but slightly scarred hand opening the door as an equally strong and scarred body stepped into the room.

“Hey there, Ibiki-san,” Naruto greeted softly, getting an uptilt of scarred lips from the other man. He didn’t think that he had ever seen Ibiki smile or cackle when it wasn’t connected to freaking out his enemies or opponents. But then again, he rather doubted that he wanted to see a full smile from the man. He preferred the soft smirks and tilts of his lips that he got; they always seemed to have more behind them after all.

“Hello, Naruto-san. I was told that you were still resting,” Ibiki said, eyeing the ears that twitched amongst the soft blond hair, barely disturbing them. The reminder of what happened just made him want to go back to the cells and slam Sakura’s head into a wall a few dozen times before he shaved her bald. He quickly shoved those urges into a box in his mind though.

There was no need to frighten the young man who was sitting before him.

Naruto shook his head as he sat up fully, pulling his legs up and curling his arms around his knees. Even being nearly twenty years of age, he still looked so very young. Sweet almost. It was almost criminal in the way that he could pull off the looks of a young teenager. Kiba and Ino often teased him on the subject but he just brushed them off with a smirk, knowing what was going on in their minds when they did so. Ibiki on the other hand was having a hard time reminding himself that Naruto was far from a child.

And hadn’t been one in a long time, long before he had become a genin.

“No, not really. Maybe I was earlier but then my mind started to really annoy me,” he admitted, his voice soft, nearly caressing the interrogation expert’s soul in its sweetness. The large man beat back the urges that had risen up, his pencil thin eyebrows twitching ever so slightly.

“I see. Well, I’m here to offer you a place to stay while we try to figure out if the ears are going to be permanent or not,” he continued. His tone didn’t betray what was going on in his head. “I live in a rather large home on the outskirts and you’ll be more than free to train as you want. You’ll be able to do things without worrying of being attacked suddenly by one of few idiots who are left in the village.

“What about my apartment though? I need to gather up my stuff, including my plants,” Naruto started, trailing off at the thought of some uncaring nimrod hurting his carefully cultivated babies. Some of them were rare and used in poisons and healing balms after all.

Ibiki snorted and shook his head, moving to sit down in the only chair that was in the room beyond the bed. Leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees, he laced his fingers together, watching the way blue eyes zoned in on his hands. “I’ll make sure that someone who you feel you can trust is the one to gather your things. Or if you want me to, I can have a few of the ANBU gather everything while you’re there, help you carry things back,” he offered, watching Naruto look back up with a wariness that shouldn’t be there. He was really starting to hate with a bloody passion the civilian part of the village for doing what they had done to the young man before him.

“You would really let me stay at your place? Why though?” Naruto asked, shifting and watching the other man with a calculating look on his face before he nibbled at his bottom lip, thinking. “What would I need to do in return?”

“All I want is for you to just continue to do what you need to do. Train, figure out how this affects you, your balance and your chakra,” Ibiki said, staring straight into Naruto’s eyes with a frown playing over his lips. “Leave it to me and Tsunade to do the damage control and figure out what the hell Haruno did to you. We have some of the needed information on what she did but not all of it. Even using Sasuke to get the information, she still unfortunately left out quite a bit of what she did. As for why I’m doing all of this? I’m doing it because I want to do it.”

Naruto nodded. “Did she say why she did it?” he asked tentatively, blue eyes filled with sadness. He had a sinking feeling that he already knew just why she had done it but he was trying so hard to deny it to himself that he was fearing what Ibiki would say.

“She said she did it because she thought that you were taking Uchiha-san away from more important things, demanding too much attention from Kakashi-san and Tsunade-san, and doing stupid things with them,” he said, his voice cold, dark with his obvious displeasure. “As for what those important things were, they were her and his training.”

“I see,” Naruto sighed, frowning down at his knees. He shook his head. “You mean to tell me, that all those times I used code that she knows, she didn’t bother to connect it to training or doing missions with ANBU or even just higher class missions?” he asked after a few minutes of sitting there, thinking. His eyes flared with anger.

“Precisely,” Ibiki snorted, a twisted smirk flitting over his thin lips as he returned Naruto’s gaze. “Apparently, anytime that she’s around the Uchiha, her mind went into something that Anko calls ‘fangirl mode’. Whatever that means,” he continued, bringing one hand up to rub against his temple. He watched as Naruto shivered, his ears going flat against his head, tail fluffing out.

“I have to warn you, any time that you see a glint in a girl’s eyes that reminds you of Anko when it comes to her dango or Orochimaru, run away. Run far away. That’s a fangirl sparkle and it’s a scary, scary thing,” the younger male told his companion, nodding his head as he shuddered against. Ibiki burst out into booming laughter at the sight.

“I have a feelin’ that you’ll do just fine with me kid. Come on, let’s head on out and get your stuff together, yes?” he asked as he stood up. He got a scowl from Naruto, the glare coming from him more of a pout than an actual glare.

“Don’t call me kid, damn it! And fine, that sounds good to me. Do we have anything to hide my new attributes with?” he asked. He squawked as the door to the room was opened, a coat flying at him.

“Go on, get out of my office,” Tsunade drawled, smirking at the pout that she got from her little brother.

“Tsunade!”
